When Masculine Virtues Go Out of Fashion

From the - American Thinker web site - the below could be easily said about Britain - substituting Labour's Harriet Harman and her ilk for Democrat Nancy Pelosi:
When Masculine Virtues Go Out of FashionBy Tom Hoffman
The culture war begun in the sixties has, in large part, been won by the left. Nowhere is this clearer than in the feminization of men. The virtues of manhood which had been extolled and celebrated throughout the middle ages right up to the 1950s have been completely expunged from academia and pop culture. The baby boom generation was the last to be taught the values of rugged individualism, risk-taking, courage, bravery, loyalty, and reverence for tradition. John Wayne epitomized the rugged individual who was committed to fighting "the bad guy," but he was only one of a whole host of competing figures cut out of the same cloth. What happened?
Today, the Boy Scouts are fighting the last battle in a lost cause. Any man who stands up to the "women's movement" is completely marginalized as a sexist and homophobe. These names have become just as stigmatizing as "racist" used to be. It is no wonder that women now are the majority of college graduates and are increasing their role in every institution from private enterprise to public service, including the military. Is this a healthy trend? The answer is clearly "no."
Edward Gibbon chronicles the increasing femininity of the Roman Empire in his six-volume work, The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. He catalogues the progressive decadence that rendered the once-proud republic into spoils for barbarian hordes. The consuls in the early republic, who were warrior-generals adhering to a strict code of honor, gradually gave way to the backroom emperors who were no more than brazen criminals and thugs. It is the same script in all noble human enterprise: The fabric which bred success is torn apart by the complacency of the successful. When warfare is demonized as violence and negotiation is raised to an art, the end is near. Today, we are there.
Today's politics reminds me of the make-believe kingdom of Queen Herzeloyde. She was the mother of Parzival, the hero of Wolfram von Eschenbach's 12th-century epic poem Parzival. This masterwork is widely touted as a literary cornerstone of Western civilization. It not only extolled the virtues of knighthood and chivalry, but it also exhorted men to overcome all obstacles on the path to individual greatness.
Parzival's mother was married to a knightly king whose military campaigns against worldly evil kept him away from his kingdom for years on end. Herzeloyde is heartbroken to hear of her husband's death and vows to keep her son sheltered from the knightly world. She sets up a royal court in the wilderness with a deadly sanction against anyone who would allow her son to come in contact with a knight. The boy grows up oblivious of the outside world until he confronts two knights in shining armor on horseback. His mother is distraught to discover that there will be no discouraging her son's ambition to become a knight. She goes so far as to dress her son as a fool upon his setting out upon his adventure in hopes that he will be humiliated and return to her.
Academia, with the help of the media, has labeled all reference to manly virtue as patriarchal, sexist, and homophobic. Womanly virtue, on the other hand, is extolled. Caring, compassion, sensitivity, and understanding are virtues meant to blur the distinction between good and evil and drown out the call of manly conscience to "do the right thing." Like a mother who refuses to see the evil in her son, the feminist professors cast all moral standards as relative and subjective.
Exit the cowboy and enter the mama's boy. Queen Herzeloyde would have no problem raising young Parzival in today's schools, as devoid of examples of manly virtue and rugged individualism as they are. All reference to the service of a higher calling -- to God and country -- has been replaced by the call to community service with the emphasis on care and compassion for the downtrodden.
We now have a would-be queen named Pelosi who sits atop a vast bureaucracy dedicated to rooting out all reference to God and a higher calling while making sure that any reference to manly virtue, rugged individualism, and decency is stigmatized as "hate speech." No nation has ever demonized manhood to its own reward. A nation that renounces violence, no matter how just the cause, signs its own death certificate -- and for a violent death at that.
Albanian immigrant murders female judge who took away his benefits
(Belgium) An Albanian immigrant who sought sanctuary in Belgium decided to launch his own personal jihad against the female judge who ruled against him getting anymore benefits off of the Belgium taxpayer.
So walking into the courthouse where she worked he first murdered her assistant by bludgeoning her over the head with an axe and then he calmly shot judge Isabella Brandon (60) in the head. Whereupon, like a true follower of the religion of peace and understanding what he had done, he did a runner.
Of course, seeing as Belgium is only across the water from the UK, I wouldn't put it pass Allah's little helper from seeking asylum here, and some scumbag lawyer fighting his case that sending him back to Belgium would be against his human rights.
How much does anybody want to bet that is what will transpire if our Albanian friend makes it across the channel?

Where Are the Feminists?
Xavier Eman analyses the deafening silence of feminists when confronted with the staggering number of crimes directed against Western women and perpetrated by non-European immigrants. The article that appears at Novopress begins with a summary of the types of horrific crimes that are becoming commonplace.
Beatings, thrashings over a cigarette, happy slapping, diverse and varied sexual assaults, insults, threats... the new urban barbarity has become, little by little, so commonplace - most notably due to the massiveness of the incidents - that people read the narration of these daily events with a certain indifference, if not a certain blasé boredom. The section of the paper devoted to crimes, through the monotony of its sordid baseness, eventually slips from our hands.
Our capacity for empathy, our ability to perceive, behind the first letter of the given name of the victims, flesh and blood individuals who are suffering, now seems to be greatly diminished by the tiresome repetitiveness of the scenarios.

And this is a video of an African or Africans in France/Paris, assaulting a girl because she wouldnt give them her phone.
http://www.pi-news.org/2010/06/youtube-and-capriciousness/
YouTube pulled the video on infringement of guidelines - sure!
The fact remains that Africans ands Muslims are engaging in a free for all assault on Whites and Asians (non-Muslims), because they have been given a free pass. And of course, there are no white males to come to her assistance.
Thankfully , the situation in the UK is changing for the better, because of the increasing strength of EDL. God Bless EDL.

Transformer
A crunch is coming to a country near you; has already come to several countries in Europe; is likely to transform the entire Western world within the space of our lifetimes. It will obviate all the trends to which we have become accustomed.
But while I have no doubt of this, I have no idea what will emerge from it. Human beings cannot see the future, except perhaps prophetically under divine inspiration.
We can see such rational things as "three into two won't go," and easily predict the catastrophe itself. We have not only an impending fiscal collapse, but escalating "culture wars" that will be resolved one way or another.

To my great shame I am part of the generation that started the feminization of men. Now, I look around and talk to young women and it is hard to find a "man" at all. Those that still wear pants would pee them if they were put in a situation like D-Day. I thank the good Lord every day for the armed forces, but as I watch I see that political correctness is rapidly stripping them of their cajones. Read history and you will see that it repeats itself. This has happened before--just before each great civilization annihilated itself. The question is, what to do about it? Are there even enough real men left? I would love to hear someone say Yes,
