Conservatives Need to Man Up and Play by the New Rules
Kurt Schlichter


Good gosh, could the conservasissies be any conservasissier? That’s a rhetorical question because the answer is obvious. Yes. Yes, they can, and they do on a regular basis. Last week, we were treated to the glorious tableau of Texas cops of all the colors of the ethnic rainbow grabbing and manhandling scumbag Hamas-lovers off the lawn at the University of Texas. This should have been a time of celebration for us normal people. This should have been a time of joy. Instead, we got these conservative weenies upset that Greg Abbott was arresting people for exercising what they (wrongly) claim is their right to free speech.

Guys, if you want to know why we lose, there you go. This is how we lose.

Let’s put aside the fact that Greg Abbott wasn’t sending these cops in to arrest those scumbags simply because they are anti-Semitic, though they are totally anti-Semitic. It wasn’t about their free speech. They were trespassing, harassing Jews, and camping out on the lawn like a bunch of Scat Francisco hobos. That’s not free speech. That’s a bunch of commies being jerks.

But what if the governor was stopping them from saying things we don’t like? What if Greg Abbott was abusing the right to free speech on a college campus, something which has never ever happened before in the history of ever, at least not since last week when the commissars sent in the local SWAT team because somebody misgendered a dude dressed like Lola Falana? If violating the right to free speech on a college campus in 2024 was against the rules, well, that’s news to me.

The Harvard Crimson reported:

    Pro-Palestine student protesters at the Harvard Yard encampment flew three Palestinian flags from University Hall on Saturday evening.

    A group of three protesters hoisted the flags over the John Harvard statue in the Yard, where the University sometimes flies the American flag or flags of the countries of visiting foreign dignitaries. As of 6:34 p.m., Harvard University Police officers were calling Harvard Yard Operations to remove the flag.

    As the staff removed the flags, protesters yelled “Shame!” and chanted “Free, free Palestine” and “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”

These nutballs are heading for a hard crash with reality.

The West's pathetic appeasement of Islamist extremists: For 33 years, my friend Salman Rushdie has shown incredible bravery. But the denial and delusion of Western apologists has only allowed fundamentalism to flourish, writes AYAAN HIRSI ALI
By Ayaan Hirsi Ali For The Daily Mail
 Published: 12:24 EDT, 26 April 2024 | Updated: 12:27 EDT, 26 April 2024

The centrepiece of Salman Rushdie’s new memoir is a vivid but harrowing account of the recent savage knife attack that almost ended his life.

In painful detail, he writes how he was stabbed multiple times during an event in New York State in 2022, slumping to the floor of the stage as the frenzy of blows continued before, finally, some brave members of the audience overpowered his assailant.

Against the odds, Rushdie recovered from the assault. Although he lost his sight in one eye and the partial use of one hand, his gifts as a writer have been undiminished. ...

As Winston Churchill — who had a shrewd understanding of Islam from his Victorian days as a soldier in India and Sudan, once wrote – an ‘appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last’.

Sadly, the valour of Churchill and Rushdie has been absent all too often in the West. Denial and delusion have been our watchwords. Capitulation has been dressed up as ‘social inclusion’.

The pathetic impulse to appease has allowed Muslim extremism to flourish in our midst, reflected in the long catalogue of terror incidents, the surge in anti-Semitism across Western Europe, the development of separate communities complete with strict dress code and informal sharia tribunals, the dominance of hardline preachers in mosques, the networks of madrassa schools that promote a quasi-medieval interpretation of Islam, the tacit acceptance by officialdom of arranged marriages and polygamy, and the introduction of de facto blasphemy laws in the name of tackling ‘hate speech’.  ...

While hundreds of thousands of brave women in Iran protest against the Islamic head-covering, in Labour-run Sandwell in the West Midlands a huge, brutalist sculpture has gone up of a Muslim woman in traditional dress. ‘The strength of the hijab’ is the title of this piece of theocratic propaganda which should have no place in Britain.

Rushdie himself said recently: ‘We live in a moment, I think, at which freedom of expression and freedom to publish has not in my lifetime been under such threat in the countries of the West.’

He is right. It is a profoundly depressing thought that no mainstream publisher would touch The Satanic Verses today.
