Newt said he feared the day when he lived in an 'atheist fundamental Islamic America'...Do these people not understand the concepts that are mutually exclusive or what the words they are saying mean? anyone else in politics you remember saying something so amazingly contradictory?
in case you avoid stupid and missed it...
Here is the BNP British version...Not really racism - just...genetic superiority... wtf?

Muslims and atheists are uniting for common goal. Because we only exist to "get" Christians, so why wouldn't we?

Thankfully, there's no shortage of them.
Did I say thankfully?

"In the dark days of 1940 when the Americans stood alone against the Nazis, we stood with them" - David Cameron. As he failed history, he may want to look up the arrival of the USA in the war (1941). Either that or he got the countries mixed up.  |

Either that or he got the countries mixed up. Not to mention if they stood with the US, the US wasn't standing alone. That's as long as you ignore the dates and go solely for the logic of the statement, though. |

Either that or he got the countries mixed up. Even if he swapped countries (and somehow forgot which one he lives in), he'd still be wrong. Multiple countries had declared war on the Nazis by 1940. No one was "standing alone" against them. Also, how do you stand with someone who's standing alone? e: beaten by Amaranth.  |

Well, I'm not sure I'd necessarily feel especially heartened that, say, Brazil, which I believe was one of the most powerful non-first-world nations to declare war on the Nazis, had my country's back. But, of course, at the very least the Commonwealth nations were in it together (South Africa's near defection notwithstanding) from beginning to end.

I know of one particularly awesome first world nation that declared war on them in 1939.

If you're referring to Canada (how many awesome first-world nations are there, after all?), I include you guys in "Commonwealth nations".

Michael Gove, a man who has never knowingly managed to come up with a good idea, explains that if teachers strike, the government might have to crack down on the right to strike. Because, erm, they're striking. Simultaneously moronic and sinister.

You read it right: The previous lot not only wanted to do away with the history degree altogether, they regularly came out with shite like that. |

Everything's cyclical, you know. The Brits played with republicanism in the 1640s, we did so in the 1790s. The Brits were fighting in Afghanistan in the 1840s, we've been fighting there since 2001. The Brits intervened in Egypt in the 1880s, we'll no doubt be there by the 2030s. The Brits stood alone against the Nazis in 1940, we'll be fighting them alone in 2090, or, as future historians will call it, "1940". America: Britain plus 150 years.
