How I think the Candidates should be chosen...
Posted By: RWR
02-Jan-08
The Iowa Caucus is tomorrow. It's the first Presidential Primary for the 2008 Election in the nation, so basically the fate of the Republican Party is in the hands of a bunch of inbred corn farmers. Recent studies have shown that the average Iowan has the decision making skills of a four-year-old with a concussion, so I don't know who's idea it was to give them so much power. Have you tasted corn lately? Its crap. These guys don't know what they're doing, especially now that Al Gore has convinced them to sell their corn to the petroleum industry as overpriced, crappy fuel.
If Iowa screws things up and flocks for the dishonest TV evangelist Huckabee or the John Kerry-wannabe Mitt Romney, you think it's possible for the Republican Party to declare they no longer recognize Iowa as a state?
Who knows, though. Maybe they'll do right or maybe they won't matter, but the primary system seems a bit screwed up. Maybe it's time for a change. Here are some new ideas on how to select a Republican Presidential candidate.
* Let Us Bloggers Decide
We're obviously very smart and informed, as we not only take the time to form opinions on important subjects, we also take time to type them out on the internet. The rest of the public may distrust us, though, since we tend to be hugely arrogant and one-sided, but the rest of the public is stupid and most of the time we shouldn't even be bothered with their opinions.
* Bare-Fisted Brawl
Let's reduce things to the issue Republicans care about most: Who can kick who's a*s? How can you not entrust the country to the one man who alone returns from the decision pit? Similarly, the Democrats can pick their candidate based on a large slap-fight.
* Random Choice
People who actively seek the Presidency aren't the people we really want as President. Instead, can't we just use some random number generator to pick someone from the lists of registered Republican voters? That way maybe we'll get someone who doesn't even want the job. And, if you're worried about getting someone unqualified, all the President has to do is look tough and occasionally bomb stuff (which is why Democrats never work out).
* Plot A Military Coup d'État
Why even bother with the stupid election? We Republicans are tougher, so let's not even field a candidate and take the White House by force in January 2009. What are the Democrats going to do? Whine? How will that be any different from any other period in time?
Any more ideas?
Origins Of The Candidates

02-Jan-08Yes, I know it has been a while since I have posted here full-time (d*mn college applications), but don't worry, I'll have all my new entries up soon. In the meantime, enjoy learning the origin of the 2008 Presidential Candidates.
Happy New Year!

Can we finally call them treasonists now?

31-Dec-07This is just amazingly stupid.
(AP) "MONTPELIER, Vermont — President Bush may soon have a new reason to avoid left-leaning Vermont: In one town, activists want him subject to arrest for war crimes. A group in Brattleboro is petitioning to put an item on a town meeting agenda in March that would make Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney subject to arrest and indictment if they visit the southeastern Vermont community.
'This petition is as radical as the Declaration of Independence, and it draws on that tradition in claiming a universal jurisdiction when governments fail to do what they're supposed to do,' said Kurt Daims, 54, a retired machinist leading the drive.
As President, Bush has visited every state except Vermont.
The town meeting, an annual exercise in which residents gather to vote on everything from fire department budgets to municipal policy, requires about 1,000 signatures to place a binding item on the agenda. The measure asks: 'Shall the Selectboard instruct the Town Attorney to draft indictments against President Bush and Vice President Cheney for crimes against our Constitution, and publish said indictment for consideration by other municipalities?'"You know what I would do if I were President Bush? On January 21st, 2009, I'd head up there to answer the charges. He can't do it while he's in office for a variety of reasons, but once he's out of office, it would be a great opportunity to show what a bunch of world-class retards his critics are. President Bush couldn't get a fair trial in Vermont, so he'd have to argue for a change of venue; a venue in a State which voted closer to 50/50 in either 2000 or 2004. Ohio would seem the most likely place to get an impartial jury, although if the lefties insist on a place Bush lost narrowly, we can go with Wisconsin. Once a venue and date are set, then the real fun would begin.
There is nothing of any substance to any of the criticisms leveled against President Bush, but the left wing loons who are pushing this measure believe the whole kit and kaboodle. I'm sure they are a grab-bag collection of "truthers" who think that President Bush had a hand in 9/11, lied to get us into Iraq, and has worked diligently to suppress freedom in the United States. Can you imagine what sort of kooks would be brought forward to testify against President Bush? Heck, we might even get Joe Wilson on the stand, and wouldn't we all love to have him cross-examined? It'd be a great media circus, and it would expose the left for what they are: screwball, blame-America-first, treasonous a*sholes.
Democrats Release The Lead Ballons In 2007
Posted By: RWR
30-Dec-07Here we have more great examples of how the Democrats in Congress squandered in 2007 after making such great promises in 2006 to get elected. Let's start with the Democrats' "6 for '06" Campaign. What was it again?
1.) Honest leadership and open government
2.) Energy independence
3.) A healthcare system that works for everyone
4.) Real security
5.) Economic prosperity and educational excellence
6.) Secure retirementNow, let's see how they fulfilled those promises:
1.) They passed an ethics bill that is being ignored by virtually everyone in Congress, especially the Democrats. Nancy Pelosi demanded a C-32, the military version of a Boeing 757-200 jumbojet, for her own personal and private travels. Pork-barrell projects are as high as normal. William Jefferson is still in Congress, and as far as honest goes, laugh riot!
2.) They just passed an energy bill that does absolutely nothing for energy independence. Increasing C.A.F.E. standards that are nearly impossible for automakers to meet does not give us energy independence in any way.
3.) Did they do anything on this? Nope. Liberals don't seem to realize that talking and doing are not the same thing.
4.) Bullsh*t. Taking the side of terrorists and enemy states doesn't count.
5.) Their idea of economic prosperity is to raise taxes, which they have tried, and failed at. The minimum wage increase was passed by Republicans. 140 Democrats in the House, including Pelosi, and 10 in the Senate voted against it. Nothing was done for education, either.
6.) Again, bullsh*t. Social Security is still on its way to hell in a handbasket.
The Democrats were so bad that they could not even get a resolution in support of Mother's Day passed. It still languishes in a committee somewhere. And, somehow, I do not think Democrat leaders kissing arse with Syria counts for "real security".
As far as more lead balloons of things they promised to do if elected:
- They were unable to get the troops "redeployed".
- They were also unable to get a troop "redeployment" timeline passed.
- They were unsuccessful at ending Operation Iraqi Freedom.
- Their vow for an impeachment investigation was never even put on the table.
- The idea of a five day work week never really materialized. Heck, the first week was shorted so that they could watch football.
- They weren't able to screw over Big Oil.
- They couldn't control their Blue Dogs.
- And finally, they failed miserably at immigration reform.
Hopefully 2008 sees a new Majority Party in Congress.
Thought for the day...

24-Dec-07With today being Christmas Eve, I felt this would be a good thing to post. This quote from Casting Crowns sums up the greatness of the miracle that the Bible really is. Tomorrow, if/as you read the Christmas Story from Matthew and Luke, remember this, and then remember back to the Old Testament Prophesies that match up with the New Testament perfectly, and be in left awe of the glory of God.
"The Bible was inscribed over a period of 2000 years; in times of war and in days of peace; by kings, physicians, tax collectors, farmers, fishermen, singers and shepherds. The marvel is that a library so perfectly cohesive could have been produced by such a diverse crowd over a period of time which stagers the imagination. Jesus is its grand subject, our good is designed, and the Glory of God is its end."
Thatisall.
Top 20 News Stories Of 2007
Posted By: RWR
23-Dec-07Here are, in my opinion, the Top 20 News Stories of 2007. My usual remarks are included as well.
20.) Anna Nicole Smith dies and no one can figure out who the father of her newborn daughter is, mostly because she apparently slept with 1 out of every 10 adult males on the planet earth within 3 months of when her kid was conceived.
19.) Larry Craig's "wide stance" got him into trouble in an airport bathroom. Liberals went to town with it.
18.) Liberals fight and rally for the right of six black thugs to beat a white student unconscious with impunity in the Jena Six case.
17.) Venezuela's commie strong man, Hugo Chavez, "narrowly lost" a rigged election that would have allowed him to become the next Fidel Castro. Coming in 2008, look for liberals around the globe to point to that election as proof that he's honest when he narrowly engineers a "victory" in the next rigged election.
16.) Scooter Libby had his sentence commuted by George W. Bush, and when it's quiet, some say you can still hear the liberals' screams of agony echoing in the distance from that night.
15.) Al Gore somehow received the Nobel Peace Prize for spreading alarmist and insane propaganda about global warming. It's a strong indication that either no one is doing much to promote peace these days, or that Al Gore had pictures of all the Nobel judges partying a little too hard with Osama Bin Laden's newest girlfriend, Bessie the virgin camel.
14.) All across America, people slammed their heads against the walls in agony over a hellish Presidential race that featured fifteen-plus candidates, none of whom they liked, starting to fight it out in January of 2007. When exactly did politics become a perpetual campaign and the actual Presidency of the nation an issue of secondary importance?
13.) One day, the French were cheese-eating surrender monkeys and then the next day, after Nicolas Sarkozy was elected, well, they were still cheese-eating surrender monkeys, but we liked him enough to pretend not to notice it.
12.) Pervez Musharraf may be a son-of-a-b*tch, but he's our son-of-a-b*tch. Unfortunately, he's barely keeping Pakistan under control because those radical Islamic terrorists and Al-Qaeda sons-of-b*tches are causing trouble, again. Dictators, terrorists, and nuclear weapons, oh my!
11.) It would be very tempting to move the California wildfires higher up the list, except for the fact that these massive fires now seem to take ablaze every 2 or 3 years. Let's hope California has better luck over the next few years with the fires than they have had in recent years.
10.) The whole embryonic stem cells vs. adult cells argument has finally come to a close, all because scientific advances have now allowed adult stem cells to become as elastic as embryonic stem cells. On the upside, this means we can use stem cells without needing to destroy any human embryos. On the downside, for the Democrats at least, they won't get to run any Michael J. Fox or Christopher Reed embryonic stem cell commercials in next year's election.
9.) In the 2006 Congressional Election, Americans decided that they were sick of the Republicans running Congress, so they handed over control of it to the Democrats, who, as it turns out, they hate even more. Congressional approval ratings dropped to their lowest in American history and the Democrats are working triple-overtime to set a record for unpopularity that will probably never be matched again.
8.) The Virginia Tech massacre was notable not just because of the shocking number of people who were killed by the deranged, pisshead psycho Cho Seung-Hui; but because for the first time, it sparked more calls to put an end to gun free zones than it did calls for more gun control.
7.) Tony Blair, a staunch friend of America and the third greatest English leader over the last hundred years (behind Churchill and Thatcher, respectively), finally resigned from his ten-year long career as the United Kingdom's Prime Minister. When historians look back and try to figure out the official end date of America and Britain's "special friendship," Blair's last day will likely be the date they agree on.
6.) The American people came to the conclusion that the "grand compromise" on immigration that the Democrats and Republicans settled on was not so "grand" after all. In fact, Americans spoke out against amnesty so vociferously that they literally broke the Capitol Hill switchboard on the day of the final vote. As a result, the amnesty bill went down to defeat and perhaps more importantly, many of the same politicians who were labeling Americans opposed to the bill as nativists and xenophobes, have now adopted the positions of the "nativists" and "xenophobes," as their own. Go figure...
5.) Most people seem to be highly dubious, with good reason, of the N.I.E. report, which declared that Iran "stopped" working on their nuclear weapons back in 2003. However, whether or not Americans are skeptical of it, it essentially took bombing Iran off the table until the end of the Bush Administration.
4.) Russian novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky once wrote, "In the end, they will lay their freedom at our feet and say to us, 'Make us your slaves, but feed us.'" That has now been played out in Russia, where the people have gone from being free men to willing slaves under the iron boot of Vladimir Putin, their new dictator for life. Paul McCartney, welcome back to the U.S.S.R.
3.) The bad news is that China spent 2007 pouring various and numerous amounts of lead-filled crap into the U.S. The good news is that only 1 out of every 5 products produced in China will kill you, your children, or your pets. That's China's pledge of quality to you!
2.) Everyone is trying to figure out exactly who's to blame for the sub-prime mortgage crisis. Is it Bush? Is it Congress? Is it Wall Street? Is it Bush? How about the people who got loans on houses that were way too expensive for them to afford, oh, and the banks, too. I mean, come on, they should have known better than to lend money to those retards.
1.) To the dismay of many liberals, members of the MSM, and Democrats in Congress; our troops and General David Petraeus have done a brilliant job of making the surge work in Iraq. The amount of violence in that country has plunged, Al-Qaeda in Iraq has been slaughtered, and it looks more and more likely each day that we're going to be able to eventually pull our troops out and let the Iraqis take over without having the whole country collapse into chaos, but only time will tell if the Iraqis can pull it off. Because of the success of the surge, however, we can say that we've successfully done our part and then some more to give them a fighting chance.
Jack*ss Of The Year
Posted By: RWR
22-Dec-07...and the award goes to...drumroll please... none other than Senate Maj. Leader Harry Reid for his "wonderful" support of our Honorable Armed Forces in Iraq.
"There are a lot of reasons the surge certainly hasn't hurt. It's helped. I recognize that."
Our winner uttered this little line while on the MacNeil/Lehrer News Hour on PBS. I was truly taken aback by some of the statements that he made during the interview. I'm sure that you will recall that back in April, Mr. Incompetent said the war was lost and that the surge had failed.
The rest of the bullcrap he says completely boggles my mind, as well.
"The ethnic cleansing has taken place all over Iraq. There is not the conflict because there is separation. There's segregation in effect."
"How much longer are we going to be asked to spend $12 billion a month on this war, when we don't have money for health care? We tried to get 10,000 poor children health insurance. The president said there's not enough money to do that. We have to do a better job with health insurance. We have 50 million people with no health insurance. We have global warming that is here, and the president doesn't recognize there's a thing called global warming."
"It's not Harry Reid, the Democratic leader, talking now. It's any pundit that you talk to. We're going to pick up Senate seats. If the election were held today, we would pick up four seats. That would bring us up to 55."
So the planet is just going to spontaneously combust while all of America's little children suffer terribly, all because we went to Iraq?
None of those snippets compares to this one, however. It's this one that won him the award.
"We need to bring our troops home. I had a long planned trip to go to Walter Reed today. I didn't know I was going to be on this show. And I went there today for lunch and met with staff and some of the soldiers who are wounded and some who weren't wounded, and without exception, when I said, 'You know, we're doing everything we can to help you, appreciate your service, but I want to get the troops home.' And without exception, they said, 'Get them home as fast as you can.'"
Sure they did Harry. I sure bet they told you they wanted to quit the job we started and come home without securing victory and the freedom of the Iraqi citizens.
Five bucks says the Conservatives keep the Presidency and gain the majority in Congress.
Rope. Tree. Harry Reid.
Some assembly required, but it entails instant gratification.
Glo[bull] Warming Revisited
Posted By: RWR
22-Dec-07It will be such sweet irony watching The Great Goreacle's Glo[bull] Warming scheme being crushed under the boot of uprisings over the price of everything from tequila to tamales.
(AP) "EL PASO, Texas — Each Christmas season since 1984 Gilberto Carrillo’s family has wrapped thousands of Mexican tamales by hand, but this year he must charge customers more than ever for the tasty holiday favorite.
It's a routine that keeps his family business, Tamales Lupita, and other tamale shops very busy this time of year. But rising expenses have forced him and others throughout the Southwest to pass on the cost to customers.
Carrillo said his store charged $11 per dozen last year and now it’s at $12 per dozen.
'Everything is going up, meat, corn husks, minimum wage, everything,' he said as a line of customers filled his shop."
Why are the prices going up so quickly? Heck, even the non-college-educated working class has that figured out.
"Tamale makers blame the jump in corn prices on the [United State's] efforts to use corn for ethanol-infused fuel. Corn prices have risen about 55 percent since 2003, along with the price of petroleum products needed to ship and package it, according to the Texas Department of Agriculture."
Welcome to the future, where Gore's arse-kissing retards have duped the gullible masses into turning their food crops into crappy, expensive fuel sources and left hundreds, if not thousands, of years worth of non-food, non-terrorist fuel sources underground in the ANWR and not built any nuclear power plants since the reign of Jimmy "Three-Mile-Island" Carter.
And to think that almost half of the country wanted Gore the retard as our President...

21-Dec-07Many people are supporters of Fred Thompson and yet they are clueless to it. If you fit any of the criteria below, well, then you might just be a Fredhead.
You might be a Fredhead if...
...you blame America last.
...you love it when terrorists are made uncomfortable.
...you think that today's serious foreign policy issues will take more than hillbilly charm and naiveté to handle.
...you suspect that Iran might actually be up to something no good.
...you prefer movies where American Troops are the good guys.
...you think a Senate majority leader who constantly tells us how things are doomed while a war is still ongoing needs a good b*tch-slapping.
...you approve when a murderer turns to Jesus, but like the idea of introducing them face-to-face with a flip of the switch.
...you think America's sovereignty is kind of important.
...you enjoy seeing bro's gettin' tazed.
...you think anyone who talks about how the rich aren't "paying their fair share" is a whiny little Communist.
..."great hair" is low on your list of presidential requirements.
...you think someone didn't draw those border lines on a map just for fun.
...call you crazy, but you'd prefer a presidential candidate who actually shares your conservative views.
...you think it's time someone did something about the hippies.
...you think today's "journalists" deserve to be ridiculed.
...you think non-binding resolutions are for sissies.
...you think Al Gore should be given a lesson on true global warming by shooting his planet-size arse into the sun.
...you think that we should spare animals and use hippies for medical experiments instead...and then eat the animals.
...you'd like Osama bin Laden's next video to be him pleading, "Someone please help me!" before his brains are blown out by a .50cal-equipped United States Soldier.
Well, that's what I came up with so far. If you have some other ways people could tell they might be a Fredhead, drop me a message.
The "Lyrical Terrorist"
Posted By: RWR
21-Dec-07We now know the true dedication of the United Kingdom towards fighting terrorism.
Millions upon millions will endure the hellistic ritual of airport security lines to ensure safe flights to and from home this Christmas and New Year's Day, but just how safe are we after clearing the barriers?
Apparently not too safe, especially when terrorists are still able to infiltrate major airports and plant terrorist insiders.
Samima Malik, 23, worked at the W.H. Smith bookstore in London's Heathrow Intl. Airport. To her customers, nothing warned them that there was a terrorist lurking on the other side of the register. Malik proves there is not a "one-size fits all" profile that would help us recognize a terrorist, and in fact, terrorists are very good at blending in and getting on the inside.
Like many others in her local community, she found work at Heathrow, one of the buisiest international hubs in the world. Beneath her seemingly ordinary existence as a shop assistant, however, she hid the radicalized life she led that was dominated by violent Islamic extremist views. Concealed in the airport as a normal employee, the self-titled "Lyrical Terrorist" was the perfectly placed terrorist plant. She had direct access to nearly all of the 200,000-plus passengers who pass through Heathrow Intl. on a daily basis. She once penned on the back of her store's receipt roll: "The desire within me increases every day to go for martyrdom". She also referred to herself as the "Stranger Awaiting Martyrdom". Luckily, she was arrested before she had the chance to "martyr" herself as a human A-Bomb in the world's busiest airport.
However, the brilliant United Kingdom failed to jail this "Lyrical Terrorist" and instead gave her a slap on the wrist. Her nine-month suspended sentence will be conducted out as community service and not prison time. There is no doubt in my mind that her local community will be enraged by this ruling for a terrorist who fantasized about murdering the inhabitants of an entire street with "poisoned bullets", but on the flipside, Malik has become a celebrity/idol/hero for the liberal jackarses who claim that she was just exercising her right to free speech as a "poet".
Poet?
Malik was not prosecuted, convicted, or "sentenced" for writing limericks. She was a dangerous Islamic extremist and now that the government has caught on somewhat, most likely still is. She was a regular contributor to terror websites and called herself the "Lyrical Terrorist", not the "Lyrical Poet".
Here is a brief history on her. In 2004, her interest in Islam blossomed. She started wearing a hijab and when she became involved with extremist Islamist organizations, she changed her blog name from the "Lyrical Babe" to the "Lyrical Terrorist". She wrote and posted poems praising Osama bin Laden, supporting Islamic martyrdom, and describing beheadings performed by Islamic terrorists. She spent most of her free time visiting various extremist websites, including that of the notorious Islamic hate preacher Abu Hamza al-Masri. She took her terrorist views to the Heathrow airport, secretly scrawling messages about terrorism, poisoned bullets, and Soviet spy weapons on the back of shop receipts.
As for her "poetry", she testified that she wrote poems about beheadings in the aspirations of finding a man. Malik posted her poems on a number of known extremist websites, none of which are your average Facebook, eHarmony, or Match.com, so what breed of man was she hoping to attract?
In her bedroom, police found a library of extremist material including the Al Qaeda Training Manual, the Terrorist's Handbook, and the Mujahideen Poisons Handbook. U.K. Police also found instructions for using a Dragunov sniper rifle and other firearms, a Rocket Propelled Grenade handbook, and a guide entitled "How to Win Hand-to-Hand Fighting". These are not books that she could purchase at the Heathrow bookstore where she worked.
Malik holds the dubious distinction of being the first woman ever convicted in the United Kingdom for offenses related to Islamic terrorism. She testified that calling herself a terrorist sounded "cool" and she creatively and successfully hid her violent extremist views to infiltrate a major international airport. The "Lyrical Terrorist" deserves jail time, not the right to move freely in the community that she fantasized about beheading, bombing, and poisoning.
Deeply embedded in the world's busiest international airport, the "Lyrical Terrorist"serves as a warning to us all.
Lex the Marine...
Posted By: RWR
21-Dec-07Here is a heartwarming story that doesn't need any commentary.
(AP) SAVANNAH, Ga. — Marine Cpl. Dustin Jerome Lee and his German shepherd, Lex, scoured Iraq for roadside bombs together, slept next to each other and even posed in Santa hats for a holiday photo.
When a mortar attack killed the 20-year-old Marine in Fallujah a few months later, Lex, whimpering from his own injuries, had to be pulled away, Lee's father was told.
That strong bond compelled the slain Marine's family to adopt 8-year-old Lex even though the military said he still had two years of service.
The family lobbied the military for months, launched an Internet petition and enlisted the aid of a North Carolina congressman who took their case straight to the Marine Corps' top general.
On Wednesday, the Marine Corps finally announced Lex could go home to Lee's family. It is the first time the military has granted a dog early retirement to be adopted by someone other than a former handler.
"We knew that's what Dustin would have wanted out of this," said Jerome Lee, the slain Marine's father. "He knew that we would take care of Lex and love him, just like our own."
Lee's family from Quitman, Miss., picked up Lex from the Albany base Friday, exactly nine months after the fatal attack.
Though some shrapnel remains lodged in his back, Lex has otherwise recovered from his wounds and has been serving alongside military policemen at the Albany base since July.
"It is extraordinary," said Col. Christian Haliday, commander of the Marine Logistics Base in Albany, Ga., where the dog is based. "As far as we know, it's the first time that a waiver of policy of this nature has been granted."
Officials at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, which trains dogs for all service branches, confirmed it is the first case of its kind.
Lee joined the Marines after graduating from high school in 2004. His father said his drive to become a dog handler came from Lee's mother, who worked with search-and-rescue dogs for their local emergency management agency when Lee was a boy.
After finishing his military police and dog handler training, the young Marine headed to Albany. Lee adopted his first canine partner, Doenja, from the military and sent him home to Mississippi last year when the 11-year-old dog began losing his sight and had to retire.
Lee formed an equally strong bond with his new partner, Lex.
The military has more than 1,700 dogs that work alongside American troops, including about 260 in the Marines. Their bomb-sniffing skills have been in high demand in Iraq and Afghanistan.
U.S. Rep. Walter Jones, R-N.C., said he discussed the Lees' case with Gen. James T. Conway, the Marine Corps commandant.
"The way I look at this, dogs are being trained every day to be a part of the armed forces," Jones said. "This family gave their son for their country. This is a small gift back to them."
Guns don't kill people, idiots do...

21-Dec-07Another great moment in in the MSM, as an inanimate object somehow comes alive and is able to fire itself while the clueless MSM journaljockeys sit around scratching their empty heads.
(Philadelphia Daily News) "Yesterday afternoon, Nahdirah Jaamar dropped by a rowhouse on Salford Street to pick up her younger brother and ran into her 4-year-old cousin, Dyshon Boyd, a boisterous toddler that family members called 'Pooh Bear'. Dyshon gave Jaamar, 15, a big hug and a kiss, and ran off.
Roughly a half-hour later, the 4-year-old lay dying from an apparently self-inflicted bullet wound, another young victim of Philadelphia's gun epidemic."
Oh snap! We've become overrun by insane firearms prowling the streets, committing random acts of madness! "Gun Epidemic?" Try "Parental Stupidity Epidemic" and mix it with "Journalistic Retardedness Epidemic" while you’re at it.
"Last night, one local channel, CBS3, was reporting that the weapon was a 9mm handgun and that Dyshon's father, Djuan Boyd, was also in the rowhouse - on Salford Street near Chester Avenue - at the time of the shooting incident.
Jaamar said Djuan Boyd was 'a great father' to Dyshon."
Much like any pregnant woman visiting a Planned Parenthood/Murder Clinic is a "great mother", it would seem.
"'Everywhere you saw Dyshon, his father wasn’t far behind,' she said."
…except when the toddler was busy playing with loaded handguns, most likely left out in the open by said father.
"He gave Dyshon the world."
Along with a gaping throat wound, too! Oh how I wish my Daddy had been like that!
Not.
"Jaamar described her little cousin as a playful toddler who loved eating pizza from the nearby deli and watching cartoons on Nickelodeon.
When Jaamar returned to the house after the shooting last night, she screamed and pounded the windows in grief."
That's completely understandable, and I can't even begin to imagine the horrid pain and grief that the poor girl must be going through now, but it wasn't the windows that she should have been pounding.
"Meanwhile, police and fire crews were searching the house and the area outside, even looking on the roof of the rowhouse for the magazine of the weapon that killed Dyshon."
It might have fled from the scene of the crime, after all. Luckily, the gun is in custody. Did they read the vile thing its Miranda rights before they tied it up with zip ties and rode it downtown in the back of their War Wagon? The better question, though, is did anyone think that there was already a round in the chamber when the magazine was removed?
Rope. Tree. "Great Father".
You know the drill...
Define "discriminatory" for me, please...

21-Dec-07I'm realizing why Philadelphia is the City of "Brotherly Love"...
(Fox News) "The Philadelphia Boy Scouts could find themselves booted from their historic dowtown headquarters Monday unless a dispute with City Hall over the group’s anti-gay policies is resolved.
The Cradle of Liberty Council - Philadelphia's Boy Scout chapter - has been housed in an historic building in downtown Philly for almost 80 years, paying almost nothing for the prime piece of proprety under the terms of a 100-year sweetheart lease it inked with the city in 1928. But that lease is set to expire, and city officials say the taxpayer’s shouldn’t be footing the Scouts rent bill because of it’s national policy banning openly gay members and leaders. The Scouts must either pony up the fair market rent for the space - about $200,000 a year - or find a new home.
'If they want to accept the national policies of the Boy Scout organization they have to be able to pay for it,' said Philadelphia City Councilman Jack Kelly."
In other words, it’s perfectly okay for the Scouts to ban girls. That's not discriminatory at all, but banning homosexuals is. Incidentally (granted I learned my math in public schools, but don't hold that against me), it seems to me the way I’m reading it that the Philadelphia Boy Scouts should legally have 20 years left on their lease.
Anyways, parents and Philadelphia Councilmen, answer this for me: How many of you want to send your 12 year old son off into the desolate woods for a few nights with an openly gay scoutmaster?
Yeah. That’s what I thought.
Stop The ACLU had this to say:
"Why is the government charging this based on their exclusion of gays as discrimination and not girls? Perhaps they should start their own organization. The Gay Scouts. If they excluded straights I guarantee no one would complain."
Now that’s a good idea there…
Favorite Quotes of 2007
Posted By: RWR
21-Dec-07Here are fifteen of my favorite political quotes from the year 2007.
15) "This is leftism’s great strength: it’s all white lies. That’s its only advantage, as far as I can tell. None of its programs actually works, after all. From statism and income redistribution to liberalized criminal laws and multiculturalism, from its assault on religion to its redefinition of family, leftist policies have made the common life worse wherever they’re installed. But because it depends on (indeed is defined by) describing the human condition inaccurately, leftism is nothing if not polite. With its tortuous attempts to rename unpleasant facts out of existence: he’s not crippled, dear, he’s handicapped; it’s not a slum, it’s an inner city; it’s not surrender, it’s redeployment; leftism has outlived its own failure by hiding itself within the most labyrinthine construct of social delicacy since Victoria was queen."
- Andrew Klavan14) The total military dead in the Iraq war between 2003 and this month stands at about 3,133. This is tragic, as are all deaths due to war, and we are facing a cowardly enemy unlike any other in our past that hides behind innocent citizens. Each death is blazoned in the headlines of newspapers and Internet sites. What is never compared is the number of military deaths during the Clinton administration: 1,245 in 1993; 1,109 in 1994; 1,055 in 1995; 1,008 in 1996. That's 4,417 deaths in peacetime but, of course, who's counting?"
- Alicia Colon13) "Hillary wants to be the first woman president, which would also make her the first woman in a Clinton administration to sit behind the desk in the Oval Office instead of under it."
- Ann Coulter12) "People have been calling for national dialogues and conversations for decades. It usually works something like this: Liberals say we need a frank discussion about race (or class or gender) in this country, and then they proceed to bludgeon any conservative stupid enough to take them up on their offer."
- Jonah Goldberg11) "A measure of hypocrisy is necessary to a functioning society. It's quite possible, on the one hand, to be opposed to the legalization of prostitution yet, on the other, to pull your hat down over your brow every other Tuesday and sneak off to the cat house on the other side of town. Your inability to live up to your own standards does not, in and of itself, nullify them. The left gives the impression that a Republican senator caught in a whorehouse ought immediately to say, "You're right. I should have supported earmarks for hookers in the 2005 appropriations bill." That's the reason why sex scandals take down Republicans but not Democrats: Sex-wise, the left's standards are that whatever's your bag is cool – which is the equivalent of no standards. Thus, Monica Lewinsky was a "grown woman" free to make her own decisions on the carpet of the Oval Office. Without agreed "moral standards," all you have is the law. When it's no longer clear something is wrong, all you can do is make it illegal."
- Mark Steyn10) "Sen. Hillary Clinton declared this weekend, " I'm in to win." Anyone who has watched her remarkable trajectory can have no doubt that she'll do whatever it takes to win the presidency. I wish she felt the same way about the war."
- Liz Cheney9) "When conservatives talk about supporting the troops, they mean doing everything possible to help them win the war they're fighting. Liberals never seem to talk about victory, but rather see "support" as turning soldiers and veterans into another victim group, dependent on government health and welfare services.
Will it work? So far, at least, I think a large majority of our service personnel think of themselves as warriors rather than participants in a social welfare program. But there is a certain logic to the Democrats' approach: if one's only concern is the safety of the troops, the simple solution is never to fight. And if, like most liberals, you have no intention of ever fighting, then you might as well take credit for keeping the troops safe. But that isn't what most Americans, or most soldiers, have in mind when they think of an effective military."
- John Hinderaker8) "For the less enthusiastically obstructive NATO members, "ally" means "wealthy country with no military capability that requires years of diplomatic wooing and black-tie banquets in order to agree to a token contribution of 23.08 troops." Incidentally, that 23.08 isn't artistic licence on my part. The 2004 NATO summit in Turkey was presented as a triumph of multilateral co-operation because the 26 members agreed to contribute between them an additional 600 troops and three helicopters to the Afghan mission. That's 23.08 troops and a ninth of a helicopter per ally. In fairness, Turkey chipped in the three helicopters single-handed, though the deal required them to return to Ankara after three months."
- Mark Steyn7) "I used to believe that people got more religious when they got older because they were getting closer to death and they felt they needed to hedge their bets. And I felt that people got more conservative as they got older because they got richer and wanted to keep more of their money.
Then, when I got older, and became both of the above, I came to realize that while that’s true with a great many people, there was an alternate explanation that I would like to believe is true in my case and those of many others. You become more spiritual and more religious, because you realize nothing else works. And if you live a life like I have, you tried everything else. I’m the only guy that had to go to a 12-step program to get over Bill Clinton. And you become more conservative, not because you become more selfish, but because you keep the ideals that you had in your earlier years. But you realize that the way to achieve them is not the straight-ahead path that the left suggests, but the smart path that the right suggests."
- Dick Morris6) "I think the fact of the matter is that Sen. Clinton is claiming basically the entire eight years of the Clinton presidency as her own, except for the stuff that didn't work out, in which case she says she has nothing to do with it. There is no doubt that Bill Clinton had faith in her and consulted with her on issues, in the same way that I would consult with Michelle, if there were issues. On the other had, I don't think Michelle would claim that she is the best qualified person to be a United States Senator by virtue of me talking to her on occasion about the work I've done."
- Barack Obama (for once I actually agree with this weirdo)5) "If 9/11 was really an inside job, you wouldn't be driving around with a bumper sticker bragging that you were on to it. Fantasy is a by-product of security: it's the difference between hanging upside down in your dominatrix's bondage parlor after work on Friday and enduring the real thing for years on end in Saddam's prisons."
- Mark Steyn4) Folks, I'm just going to tell you something. If cheap unskilled labor is what this country needs to continue to be the major player in the world that it is, if cheap unskilled labor is precisely the key to continued prosperity and economic growth and the maintenance of our superpower status, then Mexico ought to be right behind us, because they lead the world in it. Every nation that has cheap, unskilled labor ought to be threatening our status as world superpower. I've never heard anything more absurd. I have never heard anything more insulting, that without cheap labor, we can't survive as we have always known the United States to be."
- Rush Limbaugh3) "Just think of left wing logic like this. 5 x 8 = 73. Then get really mad about it! Once you can do that, you will be able to understand them."
- Internet Blogger2) "It looks like the Soviet approach to science is taking over the US now. Climate scientists are going to have to choose sides in scientific debates based not on empirical evidence subjected to the scientific method, but on whether they want to succeed in their careers. Want a life? Say global warming is real. Want to end up working as a substitute science teacher? Say what you really think."
- Steve H., Hog on Ice1) "When one becomes a liberal, he or she pretends to advocate tolerance, equality and peace, but hilariously, they're doing so for purely selfish reasons. It's the human equivalent of a puppy dog's face: an evolutionary tool designed to enhance survival, reproductive value and status.
In short, liberalism is based on one central desire: to look cool in front of others in order to get love. Preaching tolerance makes you look cooler, than saying something like, "please lower my taxes." This is why the only true form of rebellion left on this planet is conservatism. Conservatism, by rejecting the trademark forms of romantic rebellion (anarchy, activism, nipple rings) turns out to be far more subversive than anything on the planet. The conservative, every day, knows that he or she says things that aren't considered cool among the media elite. Yet the conservative still comes out and says it. This is why, Dick Cheney is closer to the Hell's Angels than Hunter S. Thompson ever could be."

19-Dec-07Will somebody, for the love of God, outfit those moronic goons with a GPS system or at least better directions than the crap MapQuest gives us?
(USA Today) "A Minneapolis police SWAT team kicked in the wrong door yesterday during an early morning raid..."
Again?!?! Will we ever see a week pass by without a gang of cluelessly lost, ninja-wannabe chimpanzees kicking in the wrong door (see: Atlanta, Nov. 2006)? Is there something in their genetic makeup, perhaps one of their three X chromosomes and mental retardation, that makes it impossible for these screwballs of a police force to accomplish a simple task that thousands of Chinese food delivery guys carry out without a hitch, day and night in all kinds of weather?
Seriously. I really, really want to know. What the heck is it with these dumbarses?
"...prompting the man of the house to grab his gun and open fire on the officers who entered the house."
If the 2nd Amendment was actually upheld, this would be the end of the article. Unfortunately for him, it never is.
"Police haven’t decided whether they'll try to charge Khang with a crime. KMSP-TV says the Khang family is consulting with a civil attorney."
Charge him with what? Do tell. He was protecting his wife and six kids, and by doing so, none of them were hurt by the unknown intruders kicking in his door in the middle of the night? The only one with legitimate grounds for a lawsuit here is Mr. Khang, who should sue the city until the police force and "SWAT Team" has to declare bankruptcy and start peddling miniature novelty items on street corners for a living, but of course, that will never happen. The gummint can do whatever the heck they please to us law-abiding citizens and they will never, ever have to face the judge/jury/executioner for it.
"KARE-TV reports that Vang was detained at the scene and released a few hours later. Police say there may have been a 'language barrier' between the residents and the officers."
Oh sure. Blame the victim, why don't you, you retarded pieces of pig shat? The only "barrier" here is the one that is permanently stuck between the sensory input apparatus of your idiot stormtroopers and whatever it is that resides within their skulls in lieu of an actual, functional brain. If that barrier hadn’t been there, they might have been able to read a bloody map.
"'It was some bad information that was received on the front end that kind-of trickled all the way through,' police Sgt. Jesse Garcia tells the station. 'It’s unfortunate because we have officers that were hit by gunfire...'"
Forgive me if I don’t rush out to get the tissues just yet, Sergeant Dumbarse. Kick somebody's door down in the middle of the night when they ain't the wanted ones and whatever the crap happens to you is your own darn fault.
"'...and this truly, truly could have been a much worse situation.'"
No sh*t Sherlock. Your KGB goons could have managed to hurt Mr. Khang or his family in the shootout that ensued once your retarded chimpanzees found themselves under fire. Fortunately, their marksmanship is as deplorably pathetic as their ability to perform simple tasks such as getting to the right address.
Rope. Tree. "SWAT Team".

The reasons why I can't vote for Mike Huckabee...
Posted By: RWR
14-Dec-07Many people have found it surprising that I am choosing to cast my vote for President in 2008 to Fred Thompson instead of Mike Huckabee. After all, Huckabee and I share the same religion and he is very vocal about it, but even so, there are two main reasons that I can not vote for Huckabee. One is his stance on illegal immigration, and it is (by my standards) very lax. The other is below. It is his fondness of pardoning criminals that was shown during his tenure as the Governor of Arkansas.
Huckabee has the the habit of pardoning criminals, including the violent ones. In his 10 1/2 years as the Governor of Arkansas, he issued 1,033 pardons, which is twice as many pardons and commutations as his three predecessors combined (one of those three predecessors was Bill Clinton). On average, Huckabee granted clemency for a convicted criminal once every four days. His most notorious case was in 1984. 35 year-old Wayne DuMond was charged with the rape of an Arkansas cheerleader who was a distant cousin of Bill Clinton's. While awaiting his trial out on bond, two unidentified men entered DuMond's home, tied him up, and castrated him, however, no one was ever charged for that crime. Huckabee approved an executive pardon for DuMond in 1999, saying that DuMond had an "unblemished prison record [prior to the rape conviction], and that he met all the qualifications for parole, including having a job lined up and a sponsor with a church." DuMond then moved from Arkansas to Missouri where he brutally raped and murdered Carol Sue Shields. He was convicted and sentenced to life in prison in 2003 and died in prison in 2005. To this day, Huckabee still defends his decision to pardon DuMond.
Other notable Huckabee pardons include Keith Richards (yes, that is the Keef of the Rolling Stones) from a reckless driving charge he was convicted of in 1975; James Maxwell, who killed a pastor of the Church of God in Arkansas (Maxwell worked at the Governor's Mansion when Huckabee announced his intent to reduce his prison sentence); Samuel W. Taylor, who was convicted on a drug charge (a prosecutor said the man had told him Taylor's sister had gone to school with Huckabee, and Taylor subsequently was arrested on another drug charge after the pardon); Donald W. Clark, convicted of theft (Huckabee's pastor recommended leniency for Clark, whose stepmother worked on Huckabee's gubernatorial staff); Robert A. Arnold Jr., who was convicted of killing his father-in-law (Arnold's father, a former mayor of Hope, Huckabee's hometown, said he was a casual friend of the governor); and Denver Witham, who was convicted of beating a man to death with a lead pipe at bar, had his sentence commuted by Huckabee (the action drew the ire of prosecutors who speculated that Huckabee's act of clemency was related to Witham, who was lead singer in a prison band, being a fellow musician).
I know that the reform of criminals is a good thing, but Huckabee abuses this privilege, and it seems that there are many times that these criminals have taken advantage of it, and this is just in the state of Arkansas. The idea of Huckabee being able to execute pardons on a National level worries me and hopefully it worries you too.
Justice finally served? Let's hope so.

13-Dec-07Here we go again...
"HAMILTON, Mont. (AP) - A Missoula, Montana man who was on parole after serving nine years in prison for rape was sentenced Tuesday to 225 years in prison for three felony counts of indecent exposure."
Let me get this straight, a man convicted of rape, a violent crime that carries the death penalty in some states, is let go after only nine years behind bars. Are we dealing with the Justice System provided by the Religion of "Peace" again? It's starting to seem as such would be the case.
"'I've never seen such a harsh punishment recommended for a nonviolent crime,' said James Clapp, Stearns' attorney. 'To have Mr. Stearns sent away to prison and throw away the key is not a fair result.'"
Okay, Mister Attorney, you're dumbarse client raped someone, which is a violent crime, so even though Indecent Exposure is not considered violent (any sexual offense really should be, in my opinion), he has a history of committing violent crimes. He obviously has a problem in his brain for him to commit three more sexual crimes while being on parole from the first one. Him being locked up forever is probably the best thing for society.
"A District Court jury in October found Stearns, 45, guilty of charges he confronted three women in two Hamilton city parks, then exposed himself and masturbated. The incidents occurred in September, November and December 2006."
So not only did this freakshow on legs expose himself to three women, he did it in a city park, undoubtedly exposing himself to numerous others, including small children and elderly parkgoers. Do we really want psychos like this out on the streets associating with law-abiding Americans and their families?
"At the time of Stearns' March 2007 arrest, he was on probation for a conviction in Cascade County in 1997 of two counts of indecent exposure and one count of sexual intercourse without consent."
'Your behavior brought you here....You have some irresistible temptation to go to the park even knowing what you faced,' Judge Haynes said. 'You're just not able to divert. You've demonstrated that twice in two communities across Montana.'"
And this is the reason that it is fully justified in locking his perverted arse in jail until his body rots into the ground, although he really never should have been let out in the first place...but that's another rant for another blog.
Rope. Tree. Rapist.

Religious intolerance taken to a whole new level...
Posted By: RWR
12-Dec-07How is this for toleration of religion in America: The federal government uncovers a 57-year-old regulation that could potentially endanger the health of the brave Veterans that have served for it (read on). No one, not one single person, has asked that this regulation it seeks to implement be enforced. This is the United States government "anticipating" a "problem" that currently does not exist but in any event can be remedied in a more effective, win-win fashion if/when it ever arises by thoughtful leadership that has blatantly gone missing.
This is about returning the Bible and Cross to the chapel at the Veterans' Administration’s Fayetteville (North Carolina) Medical Center. Although, on paper, this looks small and meaningless, but in reality it is a huge deal that is infringing on both the religious rights of the American citizens and is impacting their healthcare.
I am not surprised one bit that Americans, especially Christians, are losing confidence in their government. The V.A. is behaving like a headless chicken. Though church-state issues are first and foremost in the threatened lawsuit against the Veterans' Administration, health-care and expression concerns that underlie this potential litigation are also listed in the suit. The V.A. is risking damage to the health care of Veterans while trampling on the rights of those Veterans who have different ideas by attempting to enforce this policy in this way. Bruce Triplett, Director of the V.A. Hospital in Fayetteville, is determined to suppress the freedom of Christian Veterans to express themselves as well as their freedom to worship with other Veterans at the hospital at any given time of the day. If the V.A. was honestly committed to fulfilling the healthcare demands of its largely Christian population, they would most certainly not be upholding this stance.
Now to the part about this possibly being detrimental to the health of a Veteran. Recent studies conducted by Duke Medical School show that medical patients with a spiritual connection have consistently better health outcomes than those without a spiritual base . The study stated that these findings were consistent, not just some coincidences. The US government would better serve its Veterans by expanding opportunities for religious expression, giving hope to the infirm when there is only despair. This doesn't mean just returning the Bible and the Cross to the chapel permanently, but opening opportunities and ways for spiritual growth and influence by the plethora of religions that represent our Armed Forces. Instead of taking this route, they have gone as far to forbid volunteer chaplains from even mentioning the name Jesus while meeting with the sick.
Anyone who knows of the Veterans' Administration’s chapel "neutralization" policy implementation will be stunned. The Protestant Cross and Bible have been removed and placed in the Chaplain's office while the Catholic crucifix, kneeler, and Bible (four more books than the Protestant Bible's one) were allowed to remain in the chapel. The difference? Appointments of V.A. and Military priests come from a bishop in Washington D.C., and he has informed the V.A. that the sacramental elements of the Catholic faith must not be removed, so therefore, the chapel must be "neutralized" of Protestant elements, not Catholic. Because of this, there is nothing is stopping any other religion, excluding Protestantism obviously, from doing the same as the Catholics.
The V.A. has not been requested by anyone (including Veterans) to remove the Protestant Bible and Cross. This is what I refer to as governing by anticipation; fearing that someone might protest, the government will make changes to meet either real or imagined future needs. It is astonishing that the V.A. is not doing better at anticipating the multitudes of head trauma and PTSD cases that they are now getting from the Middle East. Even if the logic were the same, the neutralization policy is deficient. My personal theory, along with many Veterans, is to give every faith their own room of worship, but of course, the V.A. is nervous about devoting well-needed resources to a room that may not ever be used.
As of now, the Bible and Cross are only available if/when the chapel is staffed. This seems like plenty of time, but you have to remember that the Chaplains are also busy outside the chapel ministering to patients that are bedridden, in ICU, etc. I would estimate that the Bible and Cross are only available about 25 hours a week. Now, what is going to happen to the desperately ill Veteran(s) who want(s) to pray at midnight? Do we seriously expect chronically ill patients to make complex and possibly unobtainable arrangements to have the chapel suitably prepared for them? The sad reality is that the Veterans' Administration does not want to consider these scenarios.
I have a theory that the Veterans' Administration can successfully create win-win solutions for the issue of religious accommodations, without violating any freedoms or creating a dominant stance. I feel confident that a suitable outcome can be obtained, and that the Veterans I care deeply about will be able to worship freely. The V.A. just needs to listen. They just need to quit looking to a future that nobody knows about and quit catering to just one religion (Catholicism).
Lawyers from the Rutherford Institute, a conservative legal organization specializing in the defense of religious liberties and human rights, sent Dir. Triplett a letter earlier this week asking that the Protestant Bible and Cross be permanently returned to the chapel. A response is due by December 12, 2007 to avoid further legal action against the V.A. Triplett said that he will allow the V.A.’s legal department to review and respond to the letter.

12-Dec-07I am pissed beyond belief. America is going straight down the crapper and nobody is doing jack crap about it. It's pathetic.
Any doctor will kill an unborn child with an abortion, but we can't even put Zacarias Moussaoui on Death Row. Basically, we allow an unborn, living baby to be partially birthed feet first until everything but its head is free, have a hole drilled and sawed out of the back of its skull, and then suck out its brain with a vacuum; but we can't give a convicted terrorist who helped plot 9/11 and ADMITTED IN A COURT OF U.S. LAW THAT HE WAS PLOTTING MORE ATTACKS even the most humane death (lethal injection) in the chambers. Our health insurance companies will pay doctors thousands upon thousands of dollars to END A CHILD'S LIFE, but we can't spend $0.10 on a lead slug, $5.00 on a length of rope, $30.00 for a couple of propane tanks, or whatever the price of a lethal injection is to execute a convicted terrorist and murderer. Fifty years ago, the child would have lived and Zacarias Moussaoui would have been lynched from a tree. Now we act afraid to put anyone on Death Row.
Although I firmly believe that homosexuals should not be given the same marriage/civil union rights that heterosexuals have, I am sick and tired of hearing about this battle when over 60% of heterosexual marriages end in divorce. Before we go out and try to solve/end the homosexual marriage debate, let's try fixing that divorce rate first. Marriage is for a man and a woman, but what good is that mantra when it can't last. Before we go and try to get the speck out of our neighbor's eye, let's get the freakin' log out of ours first.
IT'S MERRY CHRISTMAS, NOT HAPPY HOLIDAYS OR WHATEVER OTHER POLITICALLY CORRECT BULLSH*T YOU LIBERAL MONKEYS COME UP WITH! I don't care if Christmas, Christ, Jesus, or the thought of someone being happy with what they believe in offends you, but you know what, your politically correct B.S. offends me. This country, believe it or not, was founded on God's principles, and Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Christ Jesus. Just because you don't believe in Him doesn't mean that you must go and ruin it for the ones that do believe in Him. If you do insist, however, to piss me off, then why don't you just treat Christmas like any other day? Go to work and go to school. Don't skip out of your job early to go home for the day. Don't spend the time with your family. Don't buy gifts for anyone or cook an extravagant meal because, well, it's just another day in your books. Either treat it as the holiday that it was created to be, or leave it alone for the rest of us to enjoy it the way it was meant to be enjoyed: celebrating the birth of Christ.
Gun control advocates: LEAVE ME AND MY GUNS ALONE! Do you really think it is a good idea to propose legislation that only angers people who own guns?
I am sick and tired of dealing with the limits of free speech. My factual write-ups about the Muslim faith will probably earn me the label of being a racist, while almost every black comedian and rapper uses the n-word every day with no consequences or labels. Make it so that anyone can say it or nobody can say it. This double-standard is getting old very quickly.
War Protesters: BITE ME. Our men and women are fighting a battle that gives you the rights to say what you want to say. Twenty-four hours a day. Seven days a week. Fifty-two weeks a year. Your disrespect is the reason that the troop morale is at an all-time low. Think of it this way you retards, the more you support them, the happier they will be while deployed. They will have more enthusiasm about doing their jobs and it might even get the job done quicker. Also, QUIT B*TCHING ABOUT THESE SO-CALLED "INNOCENT VICTIMS". THIS IS A WAR FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE! If you really want some innocent victims to moan and groan over, think about the ones in the Twin Towers, The Pentagon, the rural Pennsylvania field, the Khobar Towers, the U.S.S. Cole, the Beirut Barracks, and the many other innocent casualties from terrorist attacks around the world. Also, we never lost a war, until you protesters came about during the Korean War. Ever since then, we've struggled in every battle we have fought (with the exception of Desert Storm I).
Until something pisses me off again (which won't take long), this is it for now...
Sometimes I hate being right, and this is one of those times...

12-Dec-07When the news broke out the other day about the horror at the Westroads Mall in Omaha, Nebraska, my second thought (my first thought was a combination of sheer horror and prayers to God for comfort and strength to the loved ones of the victims) was "I'm willing to bet that this is yet another one of those 'subhuman beast somehow, mysteriously ignores "gun free zones" signs, marches into said establishment, and goes to town on innocent victims in what amounts to a "free fire zone"' cases."
Sadly, it was.
I also had a pretty solid feeling that the MSM idiots would somehow, mysteriously, fail to report on that "tiny" fact. Well guess what? I was right. Again.(Fox News) "The horrible tragedy at the Westroads Mall in Omaha, Neb. received a lot of attention Wednesday and Thursday. It should have. Eight people were killed, and five were wounded.
A Google news search using the phrase 'Omaha Mall Shooting' finds an incredible 2,794 news stories worldwide for the last day. From India and Taiwan to Britain and Austria, there are probably few people in the world who haven't heard about this tragedy.
But despite the massive news coverage, none of the media coverage, at least by 10 a.m. Thursday, mentioned this central fact: Yet another attack occurred in a gun-free zone."Well I wonder why? They certainly had everything else covered, did they not? Within hours they had breathlessly reported everything about the psycho b*stard: His history as a "troubled youth", the make and model of his weapon, the contents of his suicide note; just about everything except for his shoe size. But somehow, unexplainably, they failed to notice that yet another mass murder committed with a gun was committed in a "gun free zone".
Which is, by the way, about as "professional" as writing 15 articles about a "mysterious plane crash" and not once mentioning that the engines had fallen off or that the plane hadn’t been refueled prior to take-off.
If the MSM journaljockeys with their "impeccable" credentials and googly-umpteen layers of rigorously fact-checking editors fail to notice the signs plastered all over the mall, is it any wonder that a psychopath criminal misses them too? The poor guy probably was not aware that he was breaking the law. If only he'd seen the signs, he would surely have had second thoughts and decided not to go murder eight innocent people. After all, bringing a gun to a "gun free zone" is a crime, right?
And we all know that if there is one thing that cold-blooded, heartless, psychopathic murderers respect, it's the law.
Back here in the real world, if you do some basic Google research (although I wouldn't expect anybody to match the flawless in-depth research done by the crackpot Einsteins of the MSM. They're so much better than I am, after all), you'll find that every single massacre like this one that has been committed since some gun-hating pussy imbecile dreamed up a "gun free zone" and the psychopath took advantage of the defenseless victims.
Every. Single. One.
If I was the scientifically minded type, I might almost think that there is some sort of correlation here, but that would be ridiculous, because surely reporters in the MSM would have noticed and reported on that, if that were the case. Must be nothing but a coincidence.
Now, of course, the thing that you’re bound to get thrown in your face if you suggest that maybe Open Season on Innocents/Victims Guaranteed to be Defenseless/Gun Free Zone signs aren't all that safe and therefore not much of a good idea (except from the criminal's point of view, of course), is that "nobody would've been able to do anything anyways, even if they had been carrying, because those things just happen too fast."
Bull-f*cking-sh*t. That theory is nothing more than a completely and astoundingly asinine and imbecilic argument. Because yes, they can happen even in areas where everybody and their cousins thrice removed are carrying. Yet, somehow, they don't seem to happen there, do they? When was the last time someone erupted into a Gun, Knife, & Boat show attempting to massacre everyone within?
There are plenty of cases every year where law-abiding permit holders stop what would have been multiple victim shootings and multiple losses of life, but they rarely, if ever, receive any news coverage. This year in Memphis, WBIR-TV reported a gunman started firing a pistol beside a busy city street and was stopped by two permit holders before anyone was injured or killed. When will part of the media coverage on these multiple-victim public shootings be whether guns were banned where the attack occurred? While the media has begun to cover whether teachers can have guns at school, or the almost 8,000 college students across the country who protested gun-free zones on their campuses, the media hasn't even started checking what are the rules are where these attacks occur. Isn't it also important that the attack occurred where guns were banned? Isn't it important to know why all the victims were disarmed?
Almost none know that Dylan Klebold, one of the two Columbine shooters, was closely following legislation in the Colorado State Congress that would have allowed CCW-holding citizens to carry a concealed handgun on school property. Klebold strongly opposed the legislation and openly talked about it. It is quite a coincidence that he attacked the Columbine High School the very day the legislature was scheduled to vote on the bill.
(FYI: CCW laws are determined by each individual state, but the underlying qualifiers are you must be at least 21 years old, have no prior felonies, complete a gun-safety course, and be in competent mental health. There is usually a waiting period, usually 90 days maximum, also. This allows the background checks to pass.)
Despite the lack of news coverage, people are beginning to notice what research has shown for years: multiple-victim public shootings keep occurring in places where guns already are banned. Forty states have broad right-to-carry laws, but even within these states it is the "gun-free zones," not other public places, where the attacks happen. We all know the list: Virginia Tech saw 32 murdered earlier this year (after campus officials declared it a "gun-free zone" (despite a Virginia law that allowed CCW-holding students to carry guns on campus); the Columbine High School shooting left 13 murdered in 1999; Luby's Cafeteria in Killeen, Texas, had 23 who were fatally shot by a deranged man in 1991; and a McDonald's in Southern California had 21 people shot dead by an unemployed security guard in 1984. All of these could have been prevented had in not been for the fact that these were "gun-free zones".
The civic value of law-abiding citizens bearing arms isn't in "we need somebody there to return fire", although that certainly is a bonus if the situation drags out for a while. It’s in deterrence. Somebody in such a place just might be carrying, and they just might be right next to you when you pull your rifle out of your duffel bag (or whichever method you’ve decided to use in your sick, deranged, criminal mind) and then your "blaze of glory" will suddenly turn into a hollow point or two unceremoniously embedded in your useless brain between your beady, psychopath eyes, all before you even get a chance to take aim.
Remember: Most of those notorious nutcases want to be noticed, they long for their deaths to "mean something". If there is one thing they don't want, it's to be executed on the spot by a law-abiding, gun-toting, CCW-bearing civilian treating them like the common criminals that they are. The slime that committed the Omaha atrocity ended his suicide note with "now I'll be famous" (see what good that's going to do you in Hell, you P.O.S. swine). If for some reason you don't believe me, I invite you to look up past incidents, both the ones I mentioned along with the many other ones, because even if you don't believe that murderers prefer "gun free zones", the criminals certainly seem to.
And, of course, in addition to pure deterrence, allowing law-abiding gun owners to carry (especially the ones who paid the outrageous fees and endured the 3-month wait just to obtain a CCW) adds greatly to the probability that one is in the immediate vicinity of the crazed retard when he/she decides to carry out his/her atrocity.
It’s not a guarantee, nothing but death, taxes, and corruption in politics is guaranteed, but neither is locking all the doors and windows in your house a guarantee against burglary. That doesn't mean that you’re going to leave them all open in the future, does it? Think about it.
I pray that Almighty God may embrace the families and friends left behind and grant them peace, strength and comfort, and I pray that the imbecilic "gun free zone" laws are repealed as soon as possible...
...before they and the politicians who embrace them claim any more innocent victims.
Allah's A*sholes Revisited

12-Dec-07"KHARTOUM, Sudan (AP/Fox News) — Sudan charged a British teacher on Wednesday with insulting religion and inciting hatred — a crime punishable by up to 40 lashes, six months in prison or a fine — after she named a class teddy bear 'Muhammad.'"
If she really wanted to offend them, she would have chosen a camel or chimpanzee instead of the bear. I mean, the chimp looks just like every single one of them and the camel is, well, we all know where I'm going with that one. Keep reading if you don't see what I'm implying.
"The charges come a day after a 7-year-old Sudanese boy said Gilliam Gibbons, 54, asked him what he wanted to call the stuffed animal as part of a school assignment and he said, 'Muhammad,' after his name."
Oh, so it wasn't her that named it. Here's another great example of a Westerner getting blamed for the problems caused by this screw-up of a religion (ex.: President Bush).
"The British government says the foreign secretary has summoned the Sudanese ambassador to discuss the religious hatred charge against the teacher. Prime Minister Gordon Brown's spokesman, Michael Ellam, said Miliband would discuss the charge of inciting religious hatred against teacher, Gillian Gibbons. The meeting will take place as soon as possible, the Foreign Office said."
Tea time in Sudan, aye? Will this be anything like when Neville Chamberlain went to Hitler before WWII and struck a deal that Germany would not invade Czechoslovakia, but did anyways before Chamberlain made it back to the United Kingdom? Something tells that because we're dealing with the Religion of "Peace" again, it will be.
"Gibbons, of the private Unity High School in Khartoum, was arrested Sunday after one of her pupils' parents complained, accusing her of naming the bear after Islam's chief prophet. 'Muhammad' is a common name among Muslim men, but connecting the Prophet's name to an animal could be seen as insulting by many Muslims."
Haven't those ape-like camel humpers been doing just that since the dawn of the Pisslam faith?
"Several Sudanese newspapers on Tuesday ran a statement reportedly from Unity High School saying that Gibbons had been "removed from work at the school" and apologizing for any offense, though it said the incident was a 'misunderstanding.' The boy said when he suggested they name the bear Muhammad, he wasn't thinking of Islam's Prophet, Reuters reported. He also said most of the class agreed with him on the name, Reuters reported."
It's a darn conspiracy, I tell 'ya.
"In the first official comment on the case, Sudanese Foreign Ministry on Tuesday downplayed its significance, describing it as isolated but also condemning it. Ministry spokesman, Ali al-Sadeq, said the case of a 'teacher's misconduct against the Islamic faith' should not have provoked a British government caution warning to its citizens in Sudan."
Maybe if Allah's A*sholes weren't notorious for beheading us Westerners for things like this, those bloody Brits would have stayed out of it. Then again, they still have that afformentioned "Justice System" and all...
"The statement in the newspapers was not officially confirmed by the school, however."
Probably because it would result in her instant beheading.
"Gibbons was teaching her pupils, who are around 7 years old, about animals and asked one of them to bring in her teddy bear, Boulos said. She asked the students to pick names for it and they proposed Abdullah, Hassan, and Muhammad, and in the end the pupils voted to name it Muhammad, he said."
That's about the closest thing they have to Democracy there. The fact that she introduced this concept to the kids is probably why she got arrested.
"British opposition Conservative party lawmaker William Hague called on the British government to 'make it clear to the Sudanese authorities that she should be released immediately. To condemn Gillian Gibbons to such brutal and barbaric punishment for what appears to be an innocent mistake is clearly unacceptable,' he said."
Finally, a Brit with a brain.
"In the U.S., a spokeswoman for the National Organization for Women said the situation is definitely on the radar, and N.O.W. is not ignoring it."
Son-of-a-gun! All that this teacher needs is a bunch of femi-nazis taking up for her against a race that hates women.
"But she added that the U.S.-based organization is not putting out a statement or taking a position. Radio personality Tammy Bruce, former president of the Los Angles chapter of the National Organization for Women and past member of their board of directors, criticized the organization for not taking a stand. 'We have a duty to make a difference for women around the world,' Bruce told FOX News. 'The supposed feminist establishment is refusing to take a position in this regard because they have no sensibility of what is right anymore. They're afraid of offending people. They are bound by political correctness.'"
Or maybe the reason is that they actually realized for the first time to keep their bloody mouths shut. Offending people is one thing, provoking a relgion of women-haters who want to kill the one that is held captive is another.
"'The American feminist movement has not taken one stand to support the women of Iraq, the women of Afghanistan, the women of Iran,' she said. 'It is the United States Marines who have been doing the feminist work by liberating women and children around the world.'"
Maybe because the Marines have B.A.M.F. guns and can kick arse with or without them. What are the femi-nazis going to do, blow their rape whistles at the Pisslams while being fired upon with an AK-47? We all know that will just earn them 200 lashes. Also, where is the mention of the Air Force, Army, Navy, and National Guard? Give credit where credit is due you feminist P.O.S.
"Gibbons was being questioned on suspicion of abuse of religion — a charge that is punishable by up to six months in prison, a fine or flogging of up to 40 lashes under Sudan's Islamic law-based legal system."
Translation: The kids are causing the teacher to pretty much get the death penalty for naming their class teddy bear after the Pedophile Prophet. All seems right in the Pisslam Justice System after all.
"The case recalled the outrage that was sparked in the Islamic world when European newspapers ran cartoons deriding the Prophet Muhammad in recent years, prompting protests in many Muslim countries. The Prophet Muhammad is highly revered by Muslims, and most interpretations of the religion bar even favorable depiction of him, for fear of encouraging idolatry or misrepresenting him."
If it pisses them off to the point that they riot and kill each other, let's make more.
"Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir earlier this month suggested he would ban Denmark, Sweden and Norway — where newspapers ran the cartoons — from contributing engineering personnel to a planned U.N.-African Union peacekeeping force in the war-torn Sudanese region of Darfur. But Sudanese authorities appeared so far to be playing down the incident of the British teacher. Her case has not been mentioned in state media."
Because the last thing Sudan needs is British and American Forces kicking their terrorist arses.
I think I have found a use for all those stockpiled atom bombs we still have.
I don't know who to blame: The French or the towelheads!

12-Dec-07It's that time again. The special time where "youths of a mysteriously indeterminable religion" have fun by burning Paris to cinders, so fire up the Car-B-Qs and get ready to roast some marshmallows:
"VILLIERS-LE-BEL, France (AP) — Rampaging youths rioted for a second night in Paris' suburbs, firing at officers and ramming burning cars into buildings. At least 80 officers were injured, a senior police union official said Tuesday."
In fairness to Associated [With Terrorists] Press, they don't seem to have trouble mentioning the religion that I dare not mention in connection with violence, riots and general arse-hattedness:
"Youths, many of them Arab and black children of immigrants, again appeared to be lashing out at police and other targets seen to represent a French establishment they feel has left them behind."
Okay, so they don't mention "The Religion That Must Not Be Named Unless Immediately Followed By The [B.S.] Words 'Of Peace'," but unless you've been living under a rock for the last fourteen-hundred years, or are a liberal cult type, endlessly tolerant towards any sort of religion except for Christianity, it’s pretty obvious that I ain't talking about Southern Baptists here. And what a marvelously brilliant behavior by the clueless camel-humping cretins who feel that "the establishment has left them behind." I'm sure that the establishment will be ever so much more benevolent in their attitude towards you now that you’ve tried to murder 80 of its members. Much like your paleosimian ideological brethren, that whole concept of "Cause and Effect" seems to elude you at every turn, doesn't it?
"'Police officers were targeted with hunting weapons; a certain number of them were wounded by lead shot,' said Interior Minister Michele Alliot-Marie. 'This is totally unacceptable,' she said, adding there were six serious injuries, 'people who notably were struck in the face and close to the eyes.'"
Are you going to stop wagging your finger at them and actually do something about it, such as rolling out the military and riot guns? That’s what I thought. You Fwench"men" aren't really good at anything that doesn’t involve asking for terms, are you?
So what is the cause for this latest unpleasantness in the Multicultural Paradise that is Fwance?
"The current riots were triggered by the deaths of two teens killed in a crash with a police patrol car on Sunday in Villiers-le-Bel, a blue-collar town in Paris' northern suburbs. Residents claimed that officers left the crash scene without helping the teens, whose motorbike collided with the car. Officials cast doubt on the claim, but the internal police oversight agency was investigating."
Translation: Any excuse for an outbreak of violence, pillaging and vandalism is a good one. They can always blame somebody else later.
"The two teens killed Sunday were both black. They were identified in French media only by their first names, Lakhami, 16, and Mouhsin, 15."
Sounds like bona fide Southern Baptist names to me.
"A recent study by the state auditor's office indicated that money poured into poor French suburbs in recent decades had done little to solve problems vividly exposed by the 2005 riots, including discrimination, unemployment, and alienation from mainstream society."
If you keep paying the Danegeld, you'll never be rid of the Dane. Not that I'd ever wish to insult my ancestors by comparing them to the Levantine Louts currently trying to finish Hitler's order to burn down Paris.
"Despite decades of problems and heavy state investments to improve housing and create jobs, the depressed projects that ring Paris are a world apart from the glitzy boulevards and tourist attractions of the French capital."
Much like it didn’t take but a few weeks for Gaza to turn into an open sewer once the Israelis handed it over to the Camel Jockeys. If it weren’t for the fact that such talk is just downright racist, one might begin to see a correlation between the Religion of Pisslam and immediate return to medieval standards of living.
"Rioting and arson first erupted in Villiers-le-Bel on Sunday night. It grew worse and spread Monday night to at least five other towns north of Paris. Several hundred youths organized in small groups led the rioting in Villiers-le-Bel. Rioters rammed burning cars into buildings, trying to set them on fire, authorities said. Arsonists struck the municipal library, leaving burned books scattered on the floor."
The "peaceful" adherents of Pedophile Prophet never were all that fond of books. They keep reminding them of the fact that the last known sign of scientific progress under their rule happened around the time of Charlemagne.
"They attacked shops and other businesses and torched more than 70 vehicles, authorities said."
All shops and businesses, not to mention vehicles, belonging to "the establishment", I'm sure. Hey, that's what they keep saying that they're rioting against, isn't it? You're not suggesting that the apelike retards are lying, are you?
"President Nicolas Sarkozy, who is visiting China, appealed for calm and called a security meeting with his ministers for Wednesday on his return to France."
The cops will just have to continue volunteering for target practice until then. Can't upset Nicky's vitally important itinerary over something as insignificant as scores of gendarmes injured and millions' worth of property incinerated by a group of camel-riding towelheads, can we?
"The violence and the use of firearms against officers presented his government, in office since May, with a stern test."
And by refusing to address it until it's convenient for you, you've just miserably failed it, Nicky.
"'The rioting youth "want Sarkozy". They want him to come and "explain" what happened to the two teens,' said Linda Beddar, a 40-year-old mother of three in Villiers-le-Bel."
And how the heck would he know, you simpering sucknozzle? Was he driving the police car that the little suicide bombers-in-training drove into?
"'We will not let go. We will fight with all the force the nation is capable of,' Prime Minister Francois Fillon told firefighters in Villiers-le-Bel. He promised reinforced security for Tuesday night, and several trucks of riot police were on the outskirts of town."
And that is where they'll probably stay. The people living inside will just have to get used to being burned to a crisp while the dune coons torch the town.
Rope. Tree. Religion of "Peace".
Some assembly required.
Religion of Peace? Bullsh*t.

12-Dec-07File this one under Allah's A*sholes.
"RIYADH (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia defended on Tuesday a court's decision to sentence a woman who was gang-raped to 200 lashes of the whip, after the United States described the verdict as 'astonishing'. The 19-year-old Shi'ite woman from the town of Qatif in the Eastern Province and an unrelated male companion were abducted and raped by seven men in 2006."
Just a recap: Our "Eternal Friends" in Shoddy Retardia had a case where a young woman was gang-raped by 7 A*sholes for Allah, and their famed pisslamic "justice system" promptly responded by sentencing the victim to 200 lashes. Maybe the poor girl didn’t perform as well as the subhuman fig farmers' favorite goats?
"Ruling according to Saudi Arabia’s strict reading of Islamic law, a court had originally sentenced the woman to 90 lashes and the rapists to jail terms of between 10 months and five years. It blamed the woman for being alone with an unrelated man."
I stand corrected. According to pisslamic "law", she was clearly guilty of having failed to invite a few friends along for her rape session. I apologize for my lack of familiarity with "justice" under the Religion of "Peace".
"A State Department spokesman told reporters on Monday that "most [people] would find this relatively astonishing that something like this happens'."
If by "most people" you mean anybody who is not beholden to a "justice" code that should have been wiped from the Earth 14 centuries ago, you're absolutely right.
"The court also took the unusual step of initiating disciplinary procedures against her lawyer, Abdul-Rahman al-Lahem, forcibly removing him from the case for having talked about it to the media."
Our "eternal friends" are real big on the idea of freedom of speech too, it would seem.
"'The Ministry of Justice welcomes constructive criticism…The system allows appeals without resort to the media', said Tuesday's statement issued on the official news agency SPA."
How you are supposed to "constructively criticize" anything when the individuals in the know are prohibited from speaking about it is anyone's guess, but I'm sure that our "eternal friends" have a perfectly good explanation for that too.
"It berated media for not specifying that three judges, not one, issued the recent ruling and reiterated that the charges were 'proven' against the woman."
How dare she be alone when she's being brutally raped by seven cavemen!
"It also repeated the judges' attack against Lahem last week, saying he had 'spoken insolently about the judicial system and challenged laws and regulations".'
How dare he be impolite when talking about a "justice" system that sentences the victim of gang-rape to jail and 200 lashes! Off with his head!
How’s this for impolite, you knuckle-dragging, primitive throwbacks to an era that should be mentioned only as a footnote in history books: Your so-called "laws" are the worst perversion of "justice" that I have ever heard of and, in many learned opinions, you all deserve to be brutally and painfully tortured to death along with anybody who as much as failed to spit on you when given the opportunity in the past. Your mere existence is a blight upon mankind, the fact that the rest of the world continues to suffer your presence on the planet is a stain of eternal shame that we shall never live down and we pray humbly and desperately for forgiveness for having failed to eradicate you and any memory of you from Earth.
"Lahem was not available for comment."
Probably awaiting his beheading.
Religion of "Peace" my redneck American arse.
Understanding Katrina And New Orleans
Posted By: RWR
12-Dec-07In 1938 New York City was hit by a very devastating hurricane. New York City rebuilt. There was not one newspaper headline claiming that FDR has caused the Hurricane. Florida rebuilds year after year from hurricanes, and usually finishes before the next season hits. Alabama and Mississippi are also rebuilding without much being heard, other than the fact that they are rebuilding at an excellent pace. San Francisco rebuilt after the earthquake; Chicago rebuilt after the fire; Chicken Little even rebuilt after the sky fell; but Louisiana wants us to rebuild for them, and the liberals want to blame the President.
Understanding Louisiana...
Just some facts to help us understand what we have to work with here.
In the late 1990's, the state's school systems ranked dead last in the nation in the number of computers per student (1 per 88), and Louisiana has the nation's second-highest percentage of adults who never finished high school. By the state's own measure, 47% of the public schools in New Orleans rank as "academically unacceptable." These government failures are not merely a matter of incompetence.
Louisiana and New Orleans have a long, well-known reputation for corruption: as former Congressman Billy Tauzin once put it, "Half of Louisiana is under water and the other half is under indictment." That's putting it mildly. Adjusted for population size, the state ranks third in the number of elected officials convicted of crimes (Mississippi is #1). Recent scandals include the conviction of 14 state judges and an FBI raid on the business and personal files of a Louisiana congressman. In 1991, a notoriously corrupt Democrat named Edwin Edwards ran for governor against Republican David Duke, a former head of the Ku Klux Klan. Edwards, whose winning campaign included bumper stickers saying "Elect the Crook," is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence for taking bribes from casino owners. Duke recently completed his own prison term for tax fraud.
The rot included the New Orleans Police Department, which in the 1990's had the dubious distinction of being the nation's most corrupt police force, and the least effective (the city had the highest murder rate in America). More than 50 officers were eventually convicted of crimes including murder, rape and robbery; two are currently on Death Row. And let us not forget, Mayor Nagin of New Orleans turned down a Texas scrap metal firm's offer to the city of $100 each for the privilege of hauling away the abandoned automobiles now littering the city. This would have paid money to the city. Mayor Nagin is now considering giving a contract to another firm for $23,000,000 to get rid of the vehicles. This plan will cost the city.
Ten billion dollars are about to pass into the sticky hands of politicians in the #1 and #3 most corrupt states in America. Worried about looting? Well, you ain't seen nothing yet!
New Orleans has a Democrat Mayor, a Democrat City Council and a Democrat Chief of Police. Louisiana has a Democrat Governor, a Democrat Lt. Governor, and a Democrat Attorney General. 24 of 39 Louisiana State Senators are Democrats, 67 of 105 Louisiana State House Representatives are Democrats, there's a Democrat Representative in the House from New Orleans, and one of two U. S. Senators from Louisiana is a Democrat.
THIS PRETTY MUCH EXPLAINS WHY IT'S ALL GEORGE W. BUSH'S FAULT.
You also have to keep in mind that the Federal Government gave Nagin and the New Orleans city council tons of money to help make the levies stronger. The city council said screw you and decided to put that money into something frivolous. So the levies didn't work, the city was under water, and it is all the President's fault. Oh yeah, the liberals are claiming that Bush BLEW UP the levies because he doesn't care about New Orleans, or poor people, for that matter (right, Kanye West?). Is this the same logic that President Bush detonated bombs in the Pentagon and the World Trade Center?
If you claim that you are a liberal, then where do you come up with this garbage? Your idol, Michael Moore? STOP LISTENING TO THEM! THINK FOR YOURSELVES! Hurricane Katrina was not Mr. Bush's fault. The 9/11 (and other) attacks by those SAVAGES (and I don't care if you're Muslim, it was your people that messed it up) was not George W.'s fault. You laugh, but in fifteen years, I will be saying that President Bush is one of the greatest presidents in America's history, mainly because we haven't been attacked on our own soil since 9/11.
To everybody: be grateful for your safety. Thank our Armed Forces, thank our President for our freedom.
Muslim Religion Truth: Warning, it's a bit scary...
Posted By: RWR
12-Dec-07This is very interesting and just a bit scary. The Muslim religion is the fastest growing religion per capita in the United States, especially in the minority races. This is a true story, and the author, Rick Mathes, is a well-known leader in prison ministry.
Allah or The Lord Jesus Christ?
Rick MathesLast month I attended my annual training session that's required for maintaining my state prison security clearance. During the training session there was a presentation by three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim faiths, who explained each of their beliefs. I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam had to say. The Imam gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam, complete with a video. After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers. When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Imam and asked: "Please, correct m e if I'm wrong, but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world and, that by killing an infidel, (which is a command to all Muslims) they are assured of a place in heaven. If that's the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?" There was no disagreement with my statements and, without hesitation, he replied, "Non-believers! "
I responded, "So, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith so they can have a place in heaven. Is that correct?" The expression on his face changed from one of authority and command to that of "a little boy who had just been caught with his hand in the cookie jar." He sheepishly replied, "Yes."
I then stated, "Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine Pope John Paul commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith or Dr. Stanley ordering all Protestants to do the same in order to guarantee them a place in heaven!" The Imam was speechless! I continued, "I also have problem with being your 'friend' when you and your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me! Let me ask you a question. Would you rather have your Allah, who tells you to kill me in order for you to go to heaven, or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to heaven and He wants you to be there with me?"
You could have heard a pin drop as the Imam hung his head in shame. Needless to say, the organizers and/or promoters of the "Diversification" training seminar were not happy with this way of dealing with the Islamic Imam and exposing the truth about the Muslims' beliefs.
- Rick Mathes
Please pass this on to all your e-mail contacts. If nothing is changed, there will be enough Muslim voters in the U.S. to elect a Muslim President within the next twenty years. I think everyone in the U.S. should be required to read this, but with the Liberal justice system, liberal media and the ACLU, there is no way this will be widely publicized. Europe is the prime example of what happens when the Muslim faith is catered to. They will take over and these beliefs will be common-place in America.
And finally, if you think that I am being racist/bigoted/hateful/intolerant, remember this: This jihad against non-believers was/is the basis behind the Khobar Towers Bombing in 1996, the bombing of the U.S.S. Cole in 2000, the Attacks on September 11, 2001, the Madrid Train Bombings in 2004, the London Underground bombings in 2005, the ongoing battle in Israel, and the daily attacks on our Soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. All of these attacks have resulted in the death of thousands upon thousands of innocent victims. If it weren't for this belief that they must kill non-Muslims, none of these attacks would ever have happened. If you still think that I am being a racist/bigoted/hateful/intolerant bastard, well, I'm sorry that your ignorance has blinded you from seeing the truth.
The Man who walks with God always gets to his destination.

I fear Ron Paul for the same reason terrorists don't...
Posted By: RWR
05-Dec-07[WARNING: Serious content ahead in this entry, void of humor. If you're here to be amused, please see the posts above or below this one]
As a congressman, I admire Ron Paul's consistent voting record against unconstitutional items (about 3/4 of the Federal budget, these days, unless you believe that the "general welfare" & "commerce" clauses grant Congress nigh-unlimited authority to meddle in people's affairs). I wish we had more like him.
My disagreement with him (and the Libertarian Party) is the fact that they are too-state's rights centered (basically, he wants to be President but do nothing because he's given all the responsibility to the states) and that he thinks that national defense stops at the border, that Americans aren't worthy of protection when they travel or do business abroad, and that third-world crapholes and dictatorial slave states are entitled to have their "national sovereignty" respected.
Any free or semi-free nation has the right (although not the duty) to invade any dictatorial slave state for the purpose of liberating it, or to extinguish a threat to the free nation's existence.
In 2001 we put the world on notice that they would either have to root out the terrorist organizations in their midsts, or we would do it for them.
Ron Paul is against this policy, which is why I'm against Ron Paul.
Conversely, 'Lil Bush is only moderately supportive of this policy, which is why I can't fully support Bush.
Hopefully the next president will understand that the War on Terror doesn't just need to be fought, it needs to be won.
The Uniform
Posted By: RWR
01-Dec-07So I’m sitting here watching Navy whip the crap out of Army in the 108th game of the most intense rivalry in college football (after getting killed by the S.A.T. again). One of the things I love about the game, besides it being the hardest fought game you will ever watch, is the tradition and history behind it.
Then I come across this on Blackfive, an even more powerful reminder of tradition and history. Each year at the Marine Corps Birthday Ball any Marine who has ever served may once again put in the uniform. This is the story of a WWII Marine who had never worn the Dress Blues until this year.
MARINE CORPS BIRTHDAY BALL
12 NOVEMBER
BALTIMORE MARYLAND
HOST; LTCOL HALL USMC (Ret)I walked into the house where the ball was being held and I immediately saw an old Marine in his Dress Blues bearing the rank of a Private First Class. I waited until the herd around him cleared and I approached him to find out his story. He was wearing a Purple Heart on his chest and I proceeded to ask him where he was awarded this medal.
He told me that he was shot on the Island of Iwo Jima during WWII in 1945. I asked him to elaborate and he looked around and pointed at the chair behind him and said, "Have a seat young man." We sat down and he fumbled around for the words to express what happened that day in February 1945 and he got choked up and said that he cannot tell me much of what happened even though he thinks about it everyday. He revealed very little information and then humbly pointed to his son and told me that if I wanted to know what really happened I should to ask him. So I did...
This is the story of PFC "Uncle Al" United States Marine...
He enlisted at 17 with the required signature of his parents. Because of his athletic ability and his speed they made him a runner for the Company Commander. These were the days when the runner actually had to run. His boat landed on the beach of Iwo Jima, opposite the side of the famous Mount Suribachi. The Company Commander ran up the shore and over the hill to survey. The Captain deemed the shore all clear and turned to call for his runner, PFC Uncle Al, following orders like a good Marine, came blitzing up the shore to take his position next to the Captain. As he was running, a Japanese sniper shot him with a bullet that went through his right eye and exited through his left jaw. During this bloody battle, only the Marines who the corpsman thought were going to live were evacuated. So Uncle Al, having received a bullet wound to the head was passed over for evacuation. He hung on for two days until they realized that he was still very much alive and could survive. They took him to the hospital and they repaired his face and sent him home.
Uncle Al stood before the guests of the ball as the oldest Marine present and gave a speech. This 78 year-old former PFC emotionally confessed that the Dress Blue uniform that he was wearing tonight was the first time he had ever put on that distinguished uniform. His family had heard that he was invited to this ball and had the uniform made so he could appear in it before us. As he gave his brief speech he claimed that he would re-enlist all over again if he had the chance.
As a proud Second Lieutenant, wearing his Dress Blues with a bold strut and a confidence that could be seen by a blind man, I just stood there, humbled and crushed, feeling unworthy to wear the same uniform as this former Private First Class. I failed to remember that the only reason this uniform that I was wearing is distinguished is because of men like PFC Uncle Al. I just casually put it on and thought to myself, "Wow, this is the best looking uniform in the world!" I was definitely proud to put it on, yet I neglected to acknowledge its blood-stained legacy. I got a glimpse that night of what it really means to bear the title of a United States Marine. Here before me was a man who had every right to boast yet he didn't even want to talk about himself rather he wanted me, as a young Marine, to never forget those Marines who fought on every Island in the Pacific and who never had the chance to put on that proud uniform.
This is the legacy of our nation's Marine Corps and a reminder of the valiant Marines who have secured and continue to secure that legacy.
