Reasons to vote Democrat

I must thank one of my readers for bringing to my attention www.adamyoshida.com. Adam, quite frankly, is barking and puts many others in the shade. It's a veritable sweetshop of nuttiness, so much so it's difficult knowing where to start.

In a recent post it emerges Adam has categories for anyone who is "flawed" enough to vote for John Kerry including:

"The Foolish: There are some people who know better who are voting Democratic this year for petty or silly reasons. Most notable among this category is blogger Andrew Sullivan who, despite what he'll tell you, is obviously voting for Kerry for the sole reason that he hopes that Kerry will allow the perversion of marriage. Andrew, it seems, doesn't really quite get what our enemies do to his kind when they get the chance. Of course, I suppose, Andrew is well aware that as a result of his... past indiscretions... he probably won't live long enough for that to matter to him personally in any case.

Traitors: This last group, also known as "Democratic activists" consists of all of the supporters of Kerry who don't have their own idiocy, ignorance, or moral blindness as an excuse to explain away their otherwise inexcusable lapse in judgement. Like Kerry, most of these people would have been traitors in the Vietnam-era as well, opposing US victory then as they do now."

There is a hell of a lot at stake here as Adam reminds us:

"If Bush doesn’t win: we’ll lose and millions will eventually die. We may even ultimately lose our civilization. That’s how high the stakes are in this election. The future is on the ballot on Tuesday."

UKIP in summary

"We think the unthinkable, we think the stupid, because often what you think is stupid and impossible actually you think hang on, this might be quite a good idea"(Scotsman.com 24th October 2004)

Well, some people do.

The power of strawmen

Melanie Phillips hasn’t yet managed to see BBC2’s acclaimed "The Power of Nightmares". But not to worry she can always create a rant based on a review of the programme.

Welfare and Power

Written by Peter Cuthbertson on Harry's Place:

"As Mark Steyn amongst others have pointed out, it is Europe's choice if it wants to spend its money on bulbous welfare systems and 35 hour weeks rather than the sort of military forces and economic power that win respect and influence in the world. But in no sense have they then the right to demand some of the influence that America won through her prudence. Yet again we see left-wingers utterly indifferent to the work that brought others success, happy to redistribute to the grasshopper the fruits of the ant's toil. It may be power and influence we're discussing rather than money, but its principle is no more than same old socialist mentality."

I couldn't find the original Steyn quote so we'll just have to goggle at Peter's logic instead. As highlighted here amongst other places.

Lets be consistent

Oliver Kamm has no time for the Lib Dem anti-war agenda because:

"Their anti-war argument has coagulated into dogma, against which no amount of evidence can prevail."

Of course things are different for pro-war cheerleaders as:

"There is no development that would cause me to conclude I was wrong to support war."

Welcome to Nutter Watch

We all need to let off steam. I decided to create a blog to do just that.

This blog is intended to poke fun at the extremist nutters in our society, and those who've inadvertantly left their brains out of gear.

If you see anything that you think may amuse or enrage me, drop me a line on nutter_watch@yahoo.co.uk.

Catch you later.

Animal rights, Human wrongs.

Animal rights activists, of most kinds, earn the distain of Nutter Watch. Granted, in a humane society we don’t cause unnecessary cruelty or harm to animals, but to suggest that animal life is not far less valuable than human life is quite frankly barking, not to say an insult to human kind. It is worth the suffering of many animals to spare the suffering or death of one human- end of story.

However the activities of the extreme animal rights loons are no laughing matter. They make the lives of many people a misery. Many of these people are doing worthwhile work developing treatments and techniques that will benefit humankind. Many others have only tenuous connections to this work, such as admin staff, people who play golf with investors, or even the wife of the man who sells fuel to the farm which provides the animals to a medical research company.

A case in point is the recent desecration of the grave of Gladys Hammond, which yesterday was claimed as a victory for animal rights. Gladys was not involved in the business of animal experimentation, but the mother-in-law of a farmer who provides guinea-pigs for research. The act was as tenuous as it was sick, plumbing new depths for a group whose values aren't even worthy of the label "Nutter".

The windmills of your mind

Steve Reed (Chairman, UKIP Wells and Weston-super-Mare branch) wrote:

"I place "renewable resources" in parenthesis, because the resources meant are not renewable, whereas fossil-fuels are.Taking energy from winds and tides irreversibly enervates the weather system and slows the rotation of the Earth, whereas fossil-fuels are constantly being produced on the tectonic conveyor-belt. This is not just academic nit-picking: these processes are generally very slow, but oil-wells do refill." (Yorkshire Post, 5 August 2004.)
