The Dalai Lama is a Marxist Idiot

Canada, the world capital of PC, has canceled the re-enactment of the crucial battle on the Plains of Abraham, in 1759, where Wolfe defeated Montcalm and Canada became British and France was banished from the New World ( I am sure you all remember this from elementary school [both mom and I do ]) but now Canada fears the re-enactment would offend Canadians of French descent. Canceling the event is equal to cancelling Gettysburg re-enactment in U.S. Canada already eliminated teaching about it is school.
Mark Steyn responding to Canadian H.S. student trying to get info on Plains of Abraham comments:
“Not so long ago, there were millions of people in every corner of the world who attended schools that taught them that the Britannic inheritance was on balance a good thing as opposed to the root cause of all the planet’s woes. Good for individual liberty, standard of living, constitutional democracy: See, eg, Canada, America, the Bahamas, India, Australia, and even a few francophone redoubts such as Mauritius. But then the alumni of Canada’s residential schools sued for “cultural genocide” (a novel concept), and on the whole you’re safer to steer clear of the whole business. The past didn’t change: It is what it is. But the present changed, and the future will be beyond recognition. A couple of years ago, The Mail On Sunday in London reported as follows:
Schools are dropping controversial subjects from history lessons - such as the Holocaust and the Crusades - because teachers do not want to cause offence, Government research has found ... Some teachers have even dropped the Holocaust completely from lessons over fears that Muslim pupils might express anti-Semitic reactions in class.
This was from a study for the Department of Education, which noted that “teachers and schools avoid emotive and controversial history for a variety of reasons, some of which are well-intentioned. Staff may wish to avoid causing offence or appearing insensitive to individuals or groups in their classes. In particular settings, teachers of history are unwilling to challenge highly contentious or charged versions of history in which pupils are steeped at home, in their community or in a place of worship.”
Cross the Channel to the Netherlands: Different country, same discreet closing of the door on awkward corners of the past. Dutch teachers are wary of mentioning the Second World War because “in particular settings” most pupils don’t believe the Holocaust happened. If there happens to be a Jewish child in the class, it could be a little distressing. But fortunately Europeans won’t have to worry about Jews in the school system much longer. A few weeks ago, during the Israeli incursion into Gaza, Olav Nielsen, headmaster of Humlehave School in Odense, Denmark, announced that he would no longer accept Jewish children. The Copenhagen Post reported that several other principals had also decided that they would no longer let Jews enrol at their schools. Once that’s system up and running, they’ll be able to teach the Second World War without any complicating factors. Likewise, those soi-disant “Church of England” schools in Yorkshire where every student is Muslim will soon be able to resume teaching the Crusades, albeit from a fresh perspective.
In 1984, George Orwell wrote, “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.”

From Australia Times ; “TIBETAN spiritual leader the Dalai Lama says he's a Marxist, yet credits capitalism for bringing new freedoms to China, the communist country that exiled him. "Still I am a Marxist," the exiled Tibetan Buddhist leader said in New York, where he arrived today with an entourage of robed monks and a heavy security detail to give a series of paid public lectures.
"(Marxism has) moral ethics, whereas capitalism is only how to make profits," the Dalai Lama, 74, said.”
Said he loves Obama who triumphed in a viciously racist America. Moral ethics killed 100 million people, including his Tibetans, but it is still morally superior to capitalism. You can see why he loves Obama and Obama loves him, both intellectually and morally blind. By the way is his “heavy security detail” there to protect him from moral marxists, terrible capitalists or deranged Tea Partiers?

As every school child knew in my day, both Wolfe and Montcalm died in the battle. Reality really does bite!
