Balladeer’s Blog
Balladeer’s Blog’s readers are familiar with my belief that all religions are nothing but mythology. I personally left two religions behind me during my life.
Of the two religions I broke away from – Catholicism and American Liberalism – it was by far American Liberalism that required the most denial of reality and the most leaps of faith. American Liberals are among the worst fanatics as well, since they have NO identity outside of their political beliefs.

Poster by Bosch Fawstin, winner of the Draw Muhammad Contest. He refuses to talk to media outlets too gutless to show his Muhammad drawings.
I consider all religions to be nothing but irrational mythology. That said there is only ONE religion in the world that elected officials and the increasingly shrill media constantly try to browbeat the rest of us into regarding with a reverence it does not deserve: Islam. (But only those elements of Islam that are violent and want to live in the past. Muslims working to reform their faith get ignored by the Left, who accuse them of “internalizing Western oppression.”)
April 1st – Palmyra, Syria – An investigation uncovered 40 dead victims of the Islamic State formed by Barack Obama’s premature withdrawal from Iraq. “Obamastan” is the alternate name the world has given to the Islamic State.
March 31st – Galkayo, Somalia – A Muslim fascist suicide bomber killed 9 innocent people and injured 10 more.
March 27th – Lahore, Pakistan – Christians celebrating Easter were victims of a Muslim fascist bombing which killed 74 people and injured 362 more. Continue reading

I never hide the fact that I reject the outdated labels Liberal and Conservative, nor the fact that I follow news and commentary outlets from both the political left and the political right. Politico is one of the left-wing outlets yet even THEY are starting to wake up about the wrong-headedness of the left’s attitude of “Islam: Right or Wrong!” To cite just a few new quotes from the site that usually cries Islamophobia at the slightest excuse:
***** “As the violence spreads across continents, what we are witnessing is a meltdown of the Islamic universe. Populations in Africa are as much in the cross-hairs as those of India, Europe, the U.S. and elsewhere. The victims may be diverse but the culprits are of one affiliation.” (Balladeer: Nice of them to finally notice.)
***** “So let’s be clear. The West didn’t invent despots in the region (The Middle East). The tradition predates Western influence, one strongman dynasty has replaced another for centuries — and always with a great deal of popular momentum backing its strong Islamic leaders.”
***** “Why do we expect host countries to succeed in convincing (Muslims) that women have a right to equal treatment, especially when liberal thinking in Europe and the U.S. urges immigrants to hold fast to their own cultures?”
***** “Molenbeek and other Islamized neighborhoods in Europe have become fortresses of separatism. And the influence of those neighborhoods is not easily contained. There’s sufficient evidence to believe that the lackadaisical approach to undigested multiculturalism backfires repeatedly. It could all end catastrophically at any moment.”
***** “Two fundamental conditions need to be met for any chance of peace or security to remain in our globalized century of mass migrations. European and American societies have to regain confidence in their deepest self (not merely in their free market or political principles) and immigrants to the West need to recognize the flaws of their own cultures.
“The first requires that Western societies reaffirm their identity-forming traditions and insist that newcomers incorporate them as a core consciousness. The second requires newcomers to have the cultural humility to do so.”
Balladeer: Well put. Unfortunately it’s Politico-EUROPE. I don’t expect the close-minded American Left to be this reasonable anytime soon. To read the whole article click HERE

Left-Wing Archie Bunker: Back in MYYYY day, you were on the right side of an issue as long as you automatically sided with the enemies of the Western World!
The Left-Wing Archie Bunkers of the 1960s generation like to pretend every war is the Vietnam War all over again. Even against the intolerant forces of Muslim fascism the gutless hypocrites of “the most self-aggrandizing generation” continue to twist logic as severely as they have to in order to take sides against the Western World.
They also push the concept of allegedly “unwinnable wars.” The expression “unwinnable wars” needs put in perspective. In modern warfare a victorious nation shows restraint and does not bombard an entire nation into submission like was done to Germany in World War Two for instance.
That restraint means that when the conventional war is won there is a sufficiently effective enemy network still at large in the defeated nations. The existence of such networks – often aided by forces outside the defeated country – means that any victorious nation needs to be prepared to maintain forces in the defeated nation for literally two decades AT LEAST.
That will not happen because the civilized world’s enemies (Muslim fanatics at present) know that as long as they can maintain ANY level of hostile activity they can count on the spineless and self-aggrandizing political left in the Western Democracies to do politically what they themselves cannot do militarily – force a premature withdrawal of the victorious forces.
American Liberals are the biggest offenders on that score – especially the nauseatingly self-congratulatory 1960s generation of American Liberals who STILL use every conflict as an excuse to pathetically try to relive their youthful protests of the Vietnam War. Those pompous fools always ignore the fact that America and the other Western Democracies are now facing AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT TYPE OF FOE and AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT SITUATION.
So this is apparently where we in the civilized world stand: we have barbaric external foes opposed to any form of freedom and built-in political parties (the Democratic Party in America, Labour in the U.K., etc) in every free nation who are determined to NEVER let their own countries win a war against those foes. In fact, those political parties think they can woo “the Muslim vote” while somehow retaining the freedoms that Islam is opposed to. Continue reading

The symbol of the nonexistent Balladeer Political Party
Recently the perpetual children who call themselves Liberals tried to make cheap political capital out of a (possibly faked) note that the child of an illegal immigrant addressed to their parents. The child was supposedly sad about the possibility of immigration authorities catching the family and sending them home. Being Liberals the repulsive fools acted like this letter was proof of how supposedly “evil” it is for countries to have immigration laws.
To counter that here’s a letter written to Heaven by the child of a law enforcement officer killed by an illegal immigrant. It’s just as sad, Liberals. Do you immature drama queens STILL think that heart-breaking letters written by children should form the basis of a country’s immigration policy? Oh, I know, Liberals. Only touching letters that further your political goals count. If the letter below helped push your politics the letter and the little girl who wrote it would be world-famous.
(Sorry for so many political posts lately but in an election year the left and right are even more obnoxious. Plus I’m REALLY sick of the way American Liberals exploit emotion to try to make every one of their political opinions carry the force of law.)
Below is the letter written by the little girl whose father will never be coming home because of an illegal immigrant. Try to remember, Liberals, emotion can cut both ways. Not that you barely human political robots will care.
Young Daughter of murdered Deputy Brian Tephord writes letter to Heaven
My Daddy
By Alyssa Tephord
“My Mommy told me a very bad man hurt my Daddy and now my Daddy is dead. I was very sad and I cried and cried and then I asked a lot of questions.
I asked my Mommy how the bad man hurt Daddy. She said he shot him with a gun. I wanted to know why my Mommy couldn’t fix it since she was a nurse. I’m very angry at the bad man who hurt my Daddy because he hurt my Daddy really bad.
I will never be happy with the bad man. After Mommy told me, I made Daddy pictures and cards. Mommy tied them to balloons and we went outside and let them go to heaven where my Daddy is. I said Daddy, I hope you like the cards and pictures, I miss you. Then I saw Daddy on TV and I was very proud. Grandma Gwen told me he was on TV because he was special and was a hero. My Daddy is in heaven because he’s a good man.
My Aunt Jamie told me only good people can go to heaven and my Daddy can’t hurt anymore. I asked how she knew that and my Aunt Jamie said because there’s an angel at the gates of Heaven and he only lets good people in. I miss my Daddy very much and I will always remember him and love him.”

Obama spinelessly let him get away with this pretence. The next day Amnesty International and other groups provided PLENTY of names of political prisoners in Cuba.
Balladeer’s Blog remains the only site on the web that equally criticizes both American Liberals and Conservatives. Some readers from overseas asked me why American Liberals adore Cuba and the Castro Brothers but constantly trash their own country for comparatively smaller offenses. I’m happy to explain:
American Liberals think that any oppressive dictatorship that is on bad terms with the United States MUST be wonderful but oppressive dictatorships that are on GOOD terms with the United States MUST be viewed as proof that we are complicit in injustices around the globe and should be hated for it. Trust me, after the bloated rich pig Castro Brothers are gone, if Cuba actually becomes closely alligned with America in the future the left will talk about nothing BUT all the political prisoners and oppression in that country.
This is just one small part of the childishly simplistic worldview of American Liberals. Any nation as large as the United States will inevitably wind up with countries that approve of its actions and countries that disapprove of its actions. Liberals think it’s automatically “deep and intellectual” to side ONLY with those nations that disapprove of America’s actions.
The rest of us, who are neither Liberals nor Conservatives (you can call us adults) evaluate each individual situation for ourselves, sometimes agreeing with America’s detractors, sometimes agreeing with America’s supporters. Obama is a typical American Liberal ass so naturally he swoons at the mere thought of Cuba and the murderous Papa Fidel and family.

Just kidding of course! As the bodies of Islam’s victims pile ever higher Barack Obama bitterly clings to his claim that it’s THE REST OF THE WORLD that has a problem – not the Muslim World.
What the Hollow Man Obama said was that the Islamic State spawned by his premature withdrawal from Iraq”perverted one of the world’s great religions.” In Little Barry’s mind ONLY Christians and Jews should be held accountable for actions committed by their their co-religionists.
If this weak, inept and crooked little man spent half as much energy fighting this war as he does trying to defend Islam the civilized world would be in much better shape.
You’ll never hear Obama say that “The Crusaders and the Inquisitors perverted Christianity so all Christians are hereby exempt from ever hearing pompous jackasses throw the Crusades and the Inquisition at them ever again. Besides, NOT ALL CHRISTIANS participated in the Crusades and the Inquisition. Just an unrepresentative few.”
No, you will never hear that from this apologist for Muslim atrocities and he still refuses to use the words “Islamic Terrorism.” But Little Barry holds ALL AMERICANS guilty for what SOME Americans did over a hundred years ago. Collective guilt applies only to the Western World in his eyes. I’m neither a Democrat nor a Republican so I can objectively state that this little man has been the most embarrassing president the United States has ever had. It’s appropriate that “Obamastan” has become a second name for the Islamic State.
I’m also a non-believer in any of the world’s religions but I have no problem saying that Islam is the most violent, homophobic, misogynistic and otherwise intolerant religion in the world at this particular point in history. Not so the cowardly Barack Obama.

The stereotype of the Ugly American was at its height during the years of Eisenhower’s America in the 1950s. The image was that of a nose-in-the-air Yankee convinced that they knew best for the rest of the world and that all other people should stand in awe of “American Exceptionalism” (LMAO) and try to imitate all things American.
A few decades back the hilariously pretentious asses of American Liberalism replaced that image of the Ugly American with a new model. This liberal edition is a nose-in-the-air, self-described “intellectual” convinced that they know best for the world – especially their fellow citizens, whom they pompously look down on with disdain.
“Liberal Colonialism” is already notorious for preventing developing nations from using the technology that could help them grow out of economic dependency. That’s because the neo-Luddites of American Liberalism have decided that while THEY are perfectly entitled to fly around in jets and otherwise flaunt a Carbon Footprint bigger than Rhode Island, the “ignorant natives” as they apparently view the indigenous populations of those nations must go without adequate means.
American Liberals think they’re “saving the planet” the way religious missionaries long ago deluded themselves into thinking they were “saving the souls” of the native inhabitants. Liberalism in recent decades definitely has more in common with religion than with politics. Or with rational thought for that matter.
American Liberals also think they are fit to police the rest of us about “hate” and “fairness” as if they’re secular clergy. And for the Democratic Party that’s pretty much the way they want it. They are snobbishly oblivious to their own hatred and the unfair way they treat others and ESPECIALLY to their sickeningly judgmental attitudes. Just like the clergy members of any and all religions.

This review is especially relevant to the insanity of the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign and the increasingly open hostility between the voters and the ugly criminals who hold elected office.
TO THE FOURTH POWER (2013) – You’d think it would be impossible to do something creative with the mock documentary format at this point but To The Fourth Power proves to be a thought-provoking and inventive piece set “just a few years from now”.
The movie depicts a near future in which the American people have taken back the 4th of July and have transformed it into more than just a celebration of the nation’s birth: into an expression of the rapidly rising public resentment at the way elected officials represent the wishes of their political party and not the wishes of the people who elect them.

********************* Remember the victims of illegal immigrants – they and their loved ones are the people who really “live in the shadows.”
Balladeer’s Blog is the only site on the web that equally criticizes American Liberals and Conservatives both. American Liberals like to pretend they are “compassionate” and “caring” but that pretended concern is very selective and goes only one way.
Grieving mother Maureen Maloney was one of the untold thousands of Americans to lose a loved one to people who illegally cross our border with Mexico and then go on to commit other crimes.
Maloney’s 23 year-old son Matthew was hit by a repeat-offending illegal alien drunk driver. Although Matthew survived the initial crash, he died as he was subsequently dragged a quarter of a mile—caught in the wheel well of the illegal alien’s pick up truck— as the alien sought to flee the crime scene. “Witnesses who saw [Matthew] pinned screaming under the truck ran out and pounded on the vehicle, crying out to the driver who kept going…'[Matthew] was alive for a good portion of it,’” wrote a correspondent.
American Liberals, who pretend to be so “caring” always ignore these frequent tragedies. They can’t exploit such events to fit their political narrative, you see, so they turn a blind eye to them. Had an American citizen struck an illegal immigrant and dragged them along, killing them in an attempt to flee, that Mexican’s name would be known worldwide now.
The Democratic Party (Slogan: “Oppressing others while posing as the oppressed”) would have launched one of its internet and social media memes about the incident. Barack Obama would go in front of the cameras to make political capital out of the death and for his usual drama queen antics.
The Party that represents illegal immigrants but NEVER American citizens. That would be so gauche.
American Liberals always practice this philosophy – “Something bad happened, so do what we say to do or else it means you are a hater.” They never care about people like this young man’s mother. Liberals will launch no hashtags about her son’s pointless death. There will be no Hollywood movies made about the tragedy. Obama loves to whine “If it saves even one life …” about actions the Democrats want done but, trust me, he will NEVER say “If it saves even one life isn’t it worth it to FINALLY secure our southern border?”
Presidential candidate John Kasich has vowed to grant amnesty to all illegal immigrants. Maureen Maloney’s public response was to ask Kasich to “visit the grave of my murdered child.” That will never happen of course. Instead, callous, comfortable and uncaring American Liberals prefer to accuse the citizens who mourn the dead victims of illegal immigrants of being (yawn) “racists” and “haters.”
If Maureen’s heart-breaking request for Kasich to visit her son’s grave furthered the narrative of the pro-illegal immigration crowd then, trust me, EVERY SINGLE CANDIDATE would be forced to answer – over and over and over again – questions about what their own feelings are regarding the tragedy.
