To the editors:
I feel sad for Europe and especially for Ireland and the United Kingdom; you have to live under the delusions of self-made ministers who worships their creator. Disraeli’s ghost would even be dismayed by people so flawed at the center. What more could possibly be wrecked in Europe by such a sterile mind as that of your European Council President Herman Van Rompuy and the hundreds of others like him who are all driving you willy-nilly. They think this way and that way is the best way, with so much mediocrity.
I cannot believe as some do that you are all so blind that you cannot see what is happening to you. As the saying goes it’s not all the economy stupid. But we all are aware of that. All the credible economic strategies that you employ will not rid you of that heavy chain linked across your necks. A more contemptible, unfeeling bunch that you have to contend with makes me want to throw up. America has problems too, but it is not as surprisingly bad as your radicals may think.
Having long ago betrayed themselves to whatever crowns of glory they feel entitled to, these exhausted volcanoes think nothing of betraying you and the rest of Europe over and over. How many “inspired plans” have you seen demolished by their wrecking crews in preceding years? Now they are looking to make everybody feel a sense of responsibility as they squander your time, waste your money, and plunge all of you deeper into remorse. I can only believe that Ireland and Europe wants better, in spite of what you might deserve.

Comment Deleted by the Daily Mail UK
To the editors: (Daily Mail)
I would like to know what kind of government it is that discriminates between political bullying and societal bullying and makes a charge that the worst offenders are the street bullies, when they have picked up their bad attitudes from the political thugs that look down upon everyone else from their opera boxes?
.....................
Note: I find it curious that the editors deleted this comment posted on 24/9/10. Perhaps I am too harsh in my assessment for their publication. Perhaps they misread my question to mean that I think all political people and your government in particular are “political thugs,” and in impeccable bad taste. Perhaps the editors of the Daily Mail are too self-conscious about where they stand in the middle of their tightly knit community. Perhaps they just didn’t know how to take it. Perhaps they are just snobs.
As a born citizen of the UK that’s OK with me. I have been discriminated against before in more ways than one. One was being a wop. You should not be so mean spirited, after all, you asked for comments and I tried not to be personal. Will you let it stand this time? Or am I just a coxcomb flinging a pot of paint in the public face? Nevertheless, nothing written these days ever goes away – it is available elsewhere - sooner or later posterity will judge the efficacy of my words, but I hardly think it will be sooner. I am of no importance to your community or to the world.
I apologize to the British people that I have had to write this note. It obscures my original point.

Contesting Liberal Reality
Little Fiori,
Really, contesting the narratives of liberal demagoguery:
I believe that the only serious threat to a liberal democracy are liberals themselves. Specifically their actions which seek to impose their own variations of orthodoxies and abridgment of freedom of speech within the open marketplace of ideas. Thousands have asked the same question, why?
Liberalism, or progressivism as it's sometimes called, is in itself a form of extremism in its political and social attitudes toward anything that hints of dissent. It is an egalitarian good guy/bad guy syndrome of polarization.
Liberals often resort to forming groups specifically designed to counter the narratives of groups with which they disagree, groups that have an inherent equal right to participate with others in a true and free democracy.
Such groups as these desperately need and use costly and burdensome lawsuits intended to intimidate and prevent individuals and their collected assemblies from acting in their own interest within the spheres of political and social issues.
The most notorious and obvious cases in point are the strategies of liberals to impose orthodoxy in academia, religion, and the scientific disciplines, with the aim to exclude those who refuse to play the same beggarly, cheating, and corrupt game.
Give them an f.
Your bud,
Dom
