The borgysphere is remarkably quiet about the current set of attacks. Perhaps the EU bribery is paying off. But some of the resident truthtellers got the message out even there.

Matthew Flanigan left this comment on the Borg.

A few weeks ago an Isis gunman murdered several people in a bar, facebook was awash with rainbow flags and denouncement of homophobia.

Yesterday Isis went into a Catholic Church and killed a priest.Today I don’t see people with crosses or crucifixes on their pages nor do I hear denouncement of anti clericalism or anti catholic bigotry. Funny that!

Perhaps its time to stop using tragedies to serve pre packed partisan agendas and to actually face up to sober realities.

Ian Bibby, again on the Borg.

Another day, another Islamic terrorist attack. Now it’s an elderly priest beheaded inside his church. And yet liberals still profess to be terrified only by the fear that “the right-wing” will spread un-PC thoughts about Islam and might restrict immigration, not by the daily slaughter of innocents happening right in front of us.

To the progressivist, ideology trumps everything, including truth, including other people’s lives. They purport to serve humanity, but that’s because ideologues are in love with their abstractions and “humanity” is merely an abstraction. Actual flesh and blood human beings are expendable if protecting them would mean questioning the ideology.

Mick earlier today indicated that the men who beheaded this priest should meet the national razor of France. The French no longer execute. Well, not yet. But if there is no response, officially, then there will be a response. It will be by the people. We forget that before there was the nation-state there was the nation, and that ties of loyalty ran deep: that killing men at prayer means that the gloves are off. Again, from the borg.

What can we do? Well pray, watch, and prepare. There will be other attacks. It will not just be the Catholics. And the reactions will vary. The progressive elite is quietly appalled, for many Catholic priests are aligned to them. The faithful are angry, because more priests and ministers are not.

There is, however, a Kipling poem that applies. And it is a warning.

The Beginnings,

“Mary Postgate” (A Diversity of Creatures)

It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late
With long arrears to make good,
When the English began to hate.

They were not easily moved,
They were icy-willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the English began to hate.

Their voices were even and low,
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show,
When the English began to hate.

It was not preached to the crowd,
It was not taught by the State.
No man spoke it aloud,
When the English began to hate.

It was not suddenly bred,
It will not swiftly abate,
Through the chill years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the English began to hate.

. Rudyard Kipling

The memes are appearing. Be afraid, men of Islam. You are now hated. We hate well. Repent. For this was posted not last year, but this week.
