Broken Ribs: A Personal Note

Little Charlie Buckets

Well, now I've done it.

I am laid up.

I have a small terrier mutt named Little Charlie Buckets. Buckets is fifteen pounds of pure terror. He's a little hellion, and Laurie and I love him, but he's also a perfect pain in the ass. The other night around 11PM - as I was watching television and kanoodling around the web - he suddenly leaped up like a crazed maniac, howling into our backyard like he was chasing the Babadook.

I tend to have high blood pressure (shocking, I know) and when he does that kind of spontaneous screaming into the night it shoots my blood pressure through the roof. So I jumped from the couch and ran outside to make sure that he was not having a confrontation with, if not the Babadook, a friendly local skunk.

My backyard is small, but two-tiered. Directly off the dining room is our patio, where my smoker-grill stands at the ready, and a short wooden stairway that leads up to garden beds. As I went running up those stairs I tripped, fell, and snapped two ribs.

{Stupid Charlie Buckets.}

Nonetheless, I can't help but notice that Corbyn took Labour.

This does not bode well.

Hope you get well soon, Mike. Broken ribs are horribly painful!

No surprises in Corbyn's win, or the fact that it was an overwhelming victory. Lots of other things, but no surprises.

Mike,
I know what you're going through, and it ain't fun (I broke my ribs twice!). It's going to hurt for a while. Medicate.

The Arab invasion of Europe is going to lead to a lot of bloodshed. This is particularly true given the poor behavior of so many of these North African and Arab immigrants. I suspect that within the next year, or thereabouts, we're going to see football thugs fighting it out in the streets with young Jihadi types. Watch.

Sorry you got banged up. The #1 problem with rib fractures is pneumonia. Make sure you do all you can to keep your lungs clear.

Barack Obama on the so-called "Arab Spring" (May 19, 2011):

"There are times in the course of history when the actions of ordinary citizens spark movements for change because they speak to a longing for freedom that has been building up for years. In America, think of the defiance of those patriots in Boston who refused to pay taxes to a King, or the dignity of Rosa Parks as she sat courageously in her seat."

The "Arab Spring" was the brutal rise of political Islam in the Middle East and this is what Obama compares the Civil Rights Movement to?

How's that for a kick in the head to Martin Luther King, Jr.?

The Fundamental Argument:

The progressive movement, and the activist base of the Democratic Party, creates and supports venues that demonize and defame the Jewish state, thereby also creating hatred toward the Jewish people.

Such venues include political journals, such as, but not limited to, Daily Kos, the Huffington Post, and the UK Guardian, numerous universities throughout the United States and Europe, various NGOs with an anti-Israel agenda, and the entire progressive-left movement to boycott, divest from, and sanction (BDS) the Jewish people of the state of Israel.

These venues and organizations do not generally criticize Israel, but dehumanize that country.

For this reason, among others, the progressive movement, and the activist base of the Democratic Party, undermines the well-being and safety of Jews around the world, sometimes resulting in violence toward us.

Therefore, as a matter of common sense and basic human decency, Jews should leave the progressive movement and the Democratic Party as we seek to build alternative political structures that are not home to toxic anti-Semitic anti-Zionists, who would see us robbed of self-determination and self-defense.

What You Can't Discuss:

This is a partial list of taboo topics within progressive-left venues around the Arab-Israel conflict. You cannot discuss this material because it undermines the "Palestinian narrative" of perpetual victimhood. This narrative is a club used by the Arab and Muslim enemies of Israel, along with their western progressive allies, to delegitimize that country in preparation for its eventual dissolution.

1) The centuries of Jewish dhimmitude under the boot of Islamic imperialism.

2) The recent construction of Palestinian identity, its connection to Soviet Cold War politics, and how this is an Arab people with a Roman name that refers to Greeks.

3) Arab and Palestinian Koranically-based racism as the fundamental source of the conflict.

4) The ways in which contemporary progressive anti-Zionism serves as a cloak for gross anti-Semitism.

5) The Palestinian theft and appropriation of Jewish history.

6) "Pallywood."

7) The historical connections between the Nazis, the Muslim Brotherhood, and the Palestinian national movement.

8) The perpetual refusal of the Palestinian-Arabs to accept a state for themselves in peace next to the Jewish one.

9) The progressive portrayal of terrorists as those fighting a righteous war of "resistance."

10) The Arab-Palestinian indoctrination of children with Jew hatred.

11) Human rights violations against women, children, and Gay people in the Muslim Middle East.

12) The fact that violent Jihadis call themselves "Jihadis" and claim to love death above life.

This is only a partial list, so please let us know the many more that we are missing.
