“Can’t Distinguish Between Good And Bad People?”
That sums up the essential evil of liberalism.
That was a ‘Conservative’ MP who used those words in my headline, and to be as fair as possible…

…I offer Andrew Mitchell’s full quote, commenting on how anguished he is over the prospect of the ISIS pigs being sent to an American abattoir.
“On human rights we cannot distinguish between good and bad people. Human rights are indivisible and belong to everybody.”

Mitchell is something of a jelly-fish, definitely short of back-bone on issues of moral principle, according to his entry in wikipedia.
Originally having taken an admirable stance on local government advancement of the gaystapo threat, voting for the sorely-missed Section 28, he suddenly decided that perversion no longer merited abhorrence and voted to scrap it!
But as an example of liberalism, masquerading as ‘conservatism’ or not, his self-confessed refusal (inability?) to distinguish between good and evil is a wake-up call – if yet another such is needed – for those of us who despise liberalism.
Of COURSE we should all be ready to recognise that ‘human rights’ is a fantastical concept.
Constitutional rights, sure, are real, and vary from country to country, and the fact that they DO vary shows that any global definition of ‘rights’ is an arrant nonsense.
Take the ‘European Court’ (far away, please!) of ‘Human Rights.’

Those ratbags make up new rights as they go along, making a mockery of the statesmen who signed the European Convention on Human Rights all those years ago.
We have seen this in a UK context, when the ridiculous ECHR sought to bully Britain into knuckling under to uppity criminals’ demands …
Scottish prisoners are already in line for millions of pounds in compensation after winning their “slopping out” human rights case. … Scotland’s top judge, Lord Hamilton, ruled earlier this month that the trio should be allowed to sue for compensation under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).Sep 26, 2011

And again, on that same clown court, when it once more took up the cause of criminals… Prisoners must be given right to vote, European court rules
And perhaps most glaringly (‘perhaps,’ because so many of their rulings are glaringly crack-brained!) in the case of school discipline, when that gutless ass John Major, having voted to allow teachers faced with barbarous brats to keep corporal punishment in their arsenal…

…all at once, when the robed rogues of Strasbourg told him to un-think any democratic thoughts on the subject, caved in immediately and led his facile Commons flunkeys in a massive U-turn.
Anyone reading this week’s news will not be surprised at his hypocrisy.
He’s now saying ANOTHER Brexit referendum is justifiable, DESPITE his refusal, during the Maastricht Treaty debate when he was PM, to allow any “people’s vote”then.
He knew best, better than the nation he betrayed. at least.

Sir John Major denied the public a referendum on Maastricht
As you will see from that link, I’m not the only one to have noted his selective approach to national self-determination.

Bin Laden, Mengele, Manson, the Communist quislings who served as Soviet satraps in Eastern Europe…
We KNOW they were evil. They deserved to die, although not all of them did so fast enough.
Liberalism is a cancer, which eats away at the ability to tell what’s evil from what’s righteous.
Even when liberals admit that somebody is evil, like that pair of pigs we wrote about last week…

Man Up, May! Those ISIS ‘Beatle’ Beasts Deserve To Die!

That ‘European Court’ is overdue for abolition.
The judges routinely abuse their powers, telling countries that criminals may not be put in prison, or that laws passed by parliaments may be ignored and all this purely on their own prejudices.
If you read how that court was set up, on the basis of the ‘European Convention,’ you can confirm that many of the countries who ratified the convention had capital punishment and corporal punishment as part of their criminal codes.
You have done a good job reporting on how the ECHR creates rights that never existed in the countries or even in the wildest imaginations of the convention’s creators.
An obvious example is the ‘gay rights’ rubbish.
It wasn’t until years after the convention was established that homosexuality was even decriminalised in Britain, yet now that court has been telling every country in Europe they have to recognise homosexual ‘marriage’ even if the country’s own laws do not allow it.
Even Theresa May spoke up against the UK being bound by its stupid rulings but then her puppetmasters tugged the strings and she reversed herself.
if you go back and read what she said at the time of her u-turn, you’ll see she was unable to explain it coherently.
If Ukip is on the rise again, that has to be a major issue for them.

Liberalism is very dangerous to democracy. Its adherents talk about rights as much as they do about tolerance but they are completely intolerant of illberal people and policies.
If a democratic referendum produces a result which liberals think is illiberal, liberals will refuse to accept it. Think Brexit.
If a democratic election produces a result which liberals think is illiberal, liberals will refuse to accept it. Think Trump.
Liberals who cannot win in the democratic arena go whimpering to courts stacked with sympathisers.
Of course you are right about the European Court but attention is needed at national level too.
Poland has shown a good example. Bad judges appointed by an anti-democratic regime are being replaced.
In Western Europe, judges in one country at least have demonstrated how far they will go to defend liberal ideology, and you have discussed that frightening example, in Flanders, Belgium, in this blog.
Think Vlaams Blok!

Well said, Mr.Wels.
Those Belgian judges should have been removed from office and debarred from practicing law.
Poland is lucky to have a patriotic government but most of us, here in Britain, and in Germany and France, for example, are burdened with collaborators in power.
If governments will not defend their people’s rights, then people have to act in their own defence.
