~ YOU MAY NOTICE there’s not a lot of commentary this time.. it’s been insanely busy in the meatspace for Binky. Basement repair & insurance claim; kids & school; the usual health; and the part-way blog-move to this new secure site.
Commentary takes at least four brain-cells rubbing together; it takes time to think, cogitate, and brew. For those of you who hate my rants & cogitations, you’re in luck this time!
Yes, I’m working with the web-monkeys to fix the formatting and other issues over on the new blog-home FreeMarkSteyn.com~

~ ITEM: Peter Dinklage
~ ONE OF THE SHOW-STEALERS in the 2008 Narnia: Prince Caspian movie is American actor Peter Dinklage, who plays the cynical but loyal dwarf Trumpkin. He’s been in many many TV roles, movies and elsewhere, and brings real intelligence and humour to his performances.
In Caspian, the two dwarven characters (Nikabrik* & Trumpkin) represent two kinds of cynicism: one, suspicious but willing to believe if sufficient evidence comes forth– the other, a kind of cynicism that refuses to believe no matter what– which ends up cooperating with evil. After all, proper cynicism is all about testing, tasting, reserving judgement until solid food is found.
In this day and age, a reasonable suspicion of authorities, political correctness, ideological spin is just common sense and due precaution. Modern suspicions can morph, however– say, in the case of emotional commitments like marriage, or belief in God– into a refusal to commit oneself fully, no matter the circumstances. We are a timid and over-cautious age, hedging all bets. Lewis’ caution about choices, in Trumpkin and Nikabrik, is truly for our modern souls.
This is why Jesus said that unless we be as little children, we cannot enter the Kingdom of God. He’s not speaking here of immaturity or a willingness to believe any old thing, but that basic openness and unreserved joy and acceptance of the good things of life. After all, the Pharisees and Sadducees and Scribes of his day didn’t deny Christ’s power to do miracles, only by whose power he did them– that is, they had more than enough “proof” of who he said he was, except that it’s the inward orientation of the heart that counts, not piles of ‘evidence’.
Social engineering is behind much of the tide of broken hearts these days: despite real evidence that easy divorce damages children for their lifetimes; that abortion reminds children they are expendable, and they were perhaps born at a whim; that daycare damages their fundamental ability to trust and connect with family and parents; that a Marxist-approved sexual revolution demeans the deepest connectedness of man and woman– despite all this, we wonder why so many young and early middle-aged folk look at life and commitment and belief with a squint, and a gimlet eye.
A generation of narcissist parents backed up by know-it-all experts who thought that hundreds of millions of parents and children and familes were theirs to play with– and the notion that the all-precious feelings of parents should not be hurt by insisting on the reality known by endless generations of families and parents that the next generation was worth sacrificing their all? A very fine recipe for chaos, and a bitter harvest of ruined hearts.
In the movie Caspian, Peter and Lucy are sitting before a wall-carving of Aslan, in the great memorial hill built over the broken Stone Table, where Aslan was slain by the White Witch, to set Edmund free from his bondage.
Peter: “You’re lucky, you know.”
“What do you mean?” asked Lucy.
“To have seen him…. I just wish he had given me some sort of proof.”
Lucy replied, “Maybe we’re the ones that need to prove ourselves to him.”
The answer for a faithless and suspicious generation is to risk a little hope, to dare stir up our courage and seek true objects of faith, and to learn that the deepest commitments– to one another, to beauty, truth , and goodness, and ultimately unto God– are the abiding and sure foundations for our restless and hesitant souls. Teh Binks has lived it, being a very late Boomer/ Gen Xer, raised in the chaos of the 70s and 80s.
Prince Caspian is a great reminder of all of this– both the book, and the more than decent movie adaptation.
Here endeth the sermon. ~
* A big huzzah to veteran actor Warwick Davis as Nikbrik. He’s been in Willow, Star Wars, Labyrinth, Harry Potter, the BBC-TV Narnia series, and much more.
Elf: The Angry Elf .. extended edition (w/ Peter Dinklage)
~ ITEM: “Muslim Charity” IRFAN Canada Stripped Of Charitable Status
~ PRESUMPTION OF INNOCENCE until guilt is proven is a Western principle of law & jurisprudence… you know, along with “the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me God”.. the God in question being The Blessed Glorious Trinity, including the Son of God, who called liars sons of the Devil, and spoke of himself as The Way, The Truth, And The Life. The politically correct prefer “guilty until proven innocent for their opponents, but they are idiots.
It is not an Islamic principle, and IMHO, it should not be applied when Jihadists are at play. The stealth-jihad and the open jihad are mere inches apart, spearated by a little laundering via activist-style groups and experts. The goal is the same: sharia uber alles. The killing and raping and plundering was a pleasant side-line of old-jihad: this is more like corporate takeover, or revolution by committee. Whatever works.
IRFAN Canada has been stripped of their charitable tax-status– another small victory in the long war of the Federal Tories and brave Canadians to delegitimaze the instruments of jihad-sharia as they make us pay for our own conquest. As noted in past editions of Free Canuckistan, the London Ontario nexus of extremists; CAIR-Canada, The Muslim Students Association all are shariac bullies, tax-teaters, and fronts for supporting Hamas, Hizballah, and the Muslim Brotherhood. And yes, your vote counts this May 2011: both the pander-ready Libs & NDipz have strong ties to shariacs, radical Islam, and anti-Western groups.
Just automatically assume there’s sleaze, lying, 0.33 of the story, and dirty connections to ugly, anti-semitic, pro-terror, sharia supremacist individuals and groups at play in Canada and their connections to the U.S. and the worldwide jihad… because there almost always is. These guys are considered heroes of the faith when they lie, dissemble, extort, cover up, and giggle behind our backs.. it’s called taqqiyya– stategic & tactical lying for the good of Muslims & the jihad. Muhammed regularly lied, made up new rules, and broke promises and treaties all the time, when and how it suited him. “All for Mo! What I sez goes, and even Allah sez so.”
Proof? the unHoly Koran, Sura 13:42 — “Allah is all-deceiving [scheming], for he has knowledge of what each does.” Pants on fire, false god & false prophet.
