In a world where dreamers know only nightmares... One post stands between life and perpetual night...



The first time... it was silly...



The second time it was good...



Next time...it could be art...



In a world where the jokers are destroying so much that's good, could we maybe spend a few minutes next Monday to celebrate a particular work of art; a film or a novel, a song, poem, sculpture or play that exemplifies something or other that we stand for, rather than blog against?

Thanks to the Internet even a link to - for example - the last battle scene of Zulu [hooray!], or the Amazon reviews of The 300, or reprint If or something else that upholds or demonstrates or even alludes to something we are actually in favour of, such as freedom or country or marriage or faith or courage.

So who's up to contribute one post in a week's time to celebrate something that's good and great in entertainment, art and culture; for example to compile a schedule for freedom's film festival, or to suggest titles for the fiction section of liberty's library, or a day's television to make Polly Toynbee cringe and Osama bin Laden weep in horror? Or just to highlight one particular beautiful, good and true work of grace and inspiration?

I suggest that we include works of fiction only, or fictionalized accounts of real events if you will.


Coming soon to a blog near you...

Culture Wars I : The Culture.

I'll be very happy to advertise and eventually link to people's' contributions as soon as I can on Sunday night/Monday.

For ease's sake, please include #culturewarstheculture as a tag for those who just can't wait for such a list.

Part Two is here. and we now have:

One serious Edgar, .

a half or a maybe Subrosa …

.an iterested Julia – but will she bite? ..

..a definite Goodnight Vienna who’s playing Monteverdi’s L'Orfeo over at his place and is therefore way ahead of the game…

..and the bells are ringing for Pavlov’s cat – it must be supper time in PC’s world..

…and hot off the press today [Wednesday 5th August] we have the Tanzanian Tabby Tabulator with a purring maybe!

...And now The King himself. A little more action and conversation...

Slower than a speeding bullet

Sometimes even the weariest of gloomy conservatives (alright; maybe the second-weariest or the third-weariest,) can discern the occasional light of hope.

Here is one of the good guys: the 'moderate Muslim' in whom the libtards so devoutly believe and whom we; the Islamophobic hate-mongering haters of Hateland, really wish existed in their militant millions, instead of their moderate and down-trodden millions.

He's making comics (and if, O geek readers - and some of you certainly are geeky - you insist on my calling them 'graphic novels', I will insist that you refer to Gallifrey's great ex-pat as Doctor Whom) which stress the compassion and mercy which Islam does contain; despite centuries of jurisprudence and exegesis that emphasize the violence and intolerance of its founder's later life.

I especially like the irony that he's using the comic-book form for propaganda here as the comic book has in recent decades been used to indoctrinate our people with anti-Western and anti-capitalist tosh.
Nice to see the jewelled slipper of decent Islam kicking the subversive and traitorous arses of the scouse commie Constantine and the Nancy Pelosi hordes in the Invisibles and the Lord Haw-Haws of the toilet paper 2000AD.

I can predict the danger that fictional examples of Muslim superheroes doing only good deeds (to our shared value of 'good') might serve to sanitize Islam's egregious hatred of The Other - as the libs say - but as I believe that Christians act in favour of in goodness and mercy in conscious imitation of their founder's deeds and stories, then setting good and wholesome examples may, over the long term, help the world.

And if in the short term it keeps Muslim kids off the truly hateful websites that'd otherwise send them eventually to 'wedding parties' in Afghanistan or the Swat Valley, then better still.
Some hope too can be gleaned from some of the comments section of the Muslim Public Affairs Committee - which is itself no friend to Western-style freedom or to the continued lives of Middle Eastern Jews, to say the least.
There are reasons to be gloomy enough there in the comments too, but leading by (good) example is slow.

The 99 website is here - and now is on my top links bit.
