(2007-07-05) — Al Gore, the concert organizer and former U.S. vice president, today defended his son, Al III, after the younger Gore’s arrest for speeding and drug possession, applauding his use of the hybrid Toyota Prius to offset the carbon emissions of his smoking marijuana.
“Even at 100 miles per hour,” said the elder Mr. Gore, “the Prius produces less deadly greenhouse gas than a Lincoln Navigator or a Hummer. While I don’t condone getting caught with marijuana, I would venture to say that my boy’s total carbon footprint is still substantially smaller than the median for his socioeconomic and age brackets.”
The former presidential candidate, still considered a possible contender for the 2008 Democrat nomination, is about to take center stage at the global LIVE EARTH concerts this weekend.
Mr. Gore helped organize LIVE EARTH to dramatize the plight of the planet by having hundreds of thousands of people burn millions of gallons of carbon-based fuel to travel to eight locations worldwide where they’ll communally exhale billions of cubic yards of carbon dioxide, generate hundreds of tons of human and artificial waste and expend untold kilowatt hours of electricity.
“People don’t realize how bad they are for the planet,” he said. “But when we’re all together at these concert locations, it will paint a picture of horrifying waste and environmental devastation. We’re hoping people will see it, wake up and say, ‘We have to stop doing this!’.”

There seems to be a feeling that all of the rest of the world hates America. That simply isn’t true. The vast majority are madly in love with all of our liberals. Socialism and Communism have become like a cancer, so deeply imbedded in the thinking of “The World” that they want everyone to be as miserable as themselves.
Ben Laden, Chavez, Castro and others of their ilk, couldn’t think more highly of our leading Liberals.
Their hatred is (like Jesus said it would be) singularly directed toward the followers of America’s concept of freedom. Our Constitution is based on the Judeo-Christian ethics and in their liberalism, they can’t stand it! The American Conservative is the object of their hatred. “As the world has hated me, so it will hate you.” Jesus said.
It’s no accident that the vast majority of true Conservatives are Christians and the liberals aren’t. It was foretold with inerrant accuracy. A goodly number of them (and around the world) would rejoice, celebrate and throw parties to learn that Pres. Bush, VP Cheney, Rush, Ann, Dr. Dobson, etc. had been murdered in their sleep, or hung, poisoned or whatever.
I think the two current parties should be renamed. The Liberal Party and the Conservative Party - that would take care of our RINO’s. But then, that won’t happen until Jesus returns, and I believe that will be very soon, possibly while I’m still here to witness His return.
An old negro spiritual hymn spoke of ” Everybody talking about Heaven, ain’t going there….” (or something quite like that) may be only a small fraction of earth’s population.

I received am e-mail called You Just Can’t Fix Stupid. I did not want to put them all here but I thought you gun enthusiasts would love third place
Third Place- The following mind-boggling attempt at a crime spree in Washington, DC appeared to be the robber’s first (and last), due to his lack of a previous record of violence, and his terminally stupid choices:
1. His target was H&J Leather &Firearms; A gun shop specializing in hand guns.
2. The shop was full of customers - firearms customers.
3. To enter the shop, the robber had to step around a marked police patrol car parked at the front door.
4. A uniformed officer was standing at the counter, having coffee before work. Upon seeing the officer, the would-be robber announced a hold-up, and fired a few wild shots from a target pistol. The officer and a clerk promptly returned fire, the police officer with a 9mm GLOCK 17, the clerk with a 50 DESERT EAGLE, assisted by several customers who also drew their guns, several of whom also drew and fired. The robber was pronounced dead at the scene by Paramedics. Crime scene investigators located 47 expended cartridge cases in the shop. The subsequent autopsy revealed 23 gunshot wounds. Ballistics identified rounds from 7 different weapons. No one else was hurt in the exchange of fire.

[…] It could be that my perception on this is a little bit off. Lord knows, it’s happened before. But this Live Earth, or whatever they’re calling it now… thing, coming up this weekend… the issue that these concerts are supposedly trying to deal with, is global warming, which is supposedly caused by flying jets and driving. So is encouraging people to come to these concerts by flying to them and writing to them , counterproductive? Apparently besides me somebody thought so; the concert in Rio De Janeiro was canceled, and last I heard the Germany concert was still on, though they were giving away tickets to fill the seats. Al Gore, is no genius, so the only other two logical answers we’re left with, is the man’s either an idiot, or a genius at fund raising from unthinking twerps, in his mad grasp for political power. By the way, I notice that Cat Stevens (Who now calls himself Yusuf Islam…who wants song “peace train”, and no calls for the death of Salman Rushdie) is performing at the German show. Don’t it figure… If it’s anti America, it’ll be on one of those stages this weekend. Including of course, Al Gore himself, assuming springing his kid from jail isn’t taking too much of his time. Scrappleface has more. […]

If al Qaeda had to suffer the slings and arrows of its own media and had an internal faction like our Democratic Party proclaiming the resistance was lost and creating division within its ranks, al Qaeda and the Iraqi insurgency would be a footnote in history.
Instead, being emboldened by the anti-war left and their willing accomplices in the liberal media here in America, Muslim terrorists have continued in their jihad believing they are seeing a division among infidels that would eventually hand them the victory in Iraq and eventually in Afghanistan which would form the basis of their new global caliphate.
Anyone who believes al Qaeda and other jihadist wannabees don’t have very real aspirations in seeing a global caliphate eventually established (further validated by a cut-and-run policy by Democrats which would yield the present battlefield to Islamists) have to deny the very thing being preached by al Qaeda and Wahabist leadership in their “inspirational” tapes to one another.
Now we see why up to this point America has been left relatively unscathed by Islamist depradations. Iraq is the battlefield that al Qaeda has put most of its resources … all its marbles, so to speak. That is the battle it must ultimately win in hopes of rallying the rest of the radical Islamic world to its unholy cause. And whether they know it or not, it appears Democrats want to hand the Islamists that victory. The harassing actions like what we recently saw in Glaskow and London is being done by their second stringers, ill-trained Muslim terrorist wannabees. And thank goodness for that tender mercy.

This story has guns, and citizens using guns to stop crime for the NRA.
The certainty of punishment for the criminals, and the miracle of the survival of half the people in the room for the fundamentalists.
But, still some questions come to mind; how many people were shot? How did the police officer know that one of the others was not involved in the holdup? Isn’t six hits per enough?
Once the shooting started its a wonder anybody was left when the shooting stopped!
But otherwise, that could really happen!

Well, he won’t be harming anymore, that’s fer dern sure. Definitely Darwin Award material. But what scares me the most is over half the shots didn’t hit their target … fortunately none of his did. BTW, police officers shouldn’t carry anything less than a .40 cal with the .45 Auto being top gun. The .357 Sig and the .357 Magnum being close thirds.

Remember the story that the lamestream media breathlessly reported a week or so ago about the twenty headless Iraqi male bodies that were found “around Baghdad? It has become increasingly apparent it is simply another media hoax by anonymous “stringers”. Almost simultaneously the same liberal media refuses to publish a story, replete with photographs for evidence, from embed Michael Yon of al Qaeda atrocities (which included beheadings) which wiped out a small village.
Oftentimes its not that what the media reports which demonstrates its bias, but rather what it refuses to report. However, in this case, we plainly see the bias on both sides of the ledger since the media refuses to publish a well-documented story while eagerly publishing a story which has not been corroborated in any manner. You don’t think a little bit of BDS may not be in play here, eh?

Hugh Hewitt nails it:
“What had been a very bad week for al Qaeda with the foiled attacks in England and the desperation in Zawahiri’s recent video just got a great deal better with proof that their strategy of defeating the U.S. in the United States Senate is working.“
The Senate is one of their soft targets and al Qaeda has many allies there whether those bloviating cut-and-run Senators know it or not as they continue their attempts to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

AND THE WINNER… Over zealous zookeeper Friedrich Riesfeldt (Paderborn, Germany) fed his constipated elephant Stefan 22 doses of animal laxative and more than a bushel of berries, figs and prunes before the plugged-up pachyderm finally let it fly, and suffocated the keeper under 200 pounds of poop!
Investigators say ill-fated Friedrich, 46, was attempting to give the ailing elephant an olive oil enema when the relieved beast unloaded on him. “The sheer force of the elephant’s unexpected defecation knocked Mr. Riesfeldt to the ground where he struck his head on a rock and lay unconscious as the elephant continued to evacuate his bowels on top of him” said flabbergasted Paderborn police detective Erik Dern.
With no one there to help him, he lay under all that dung for at least an hour before a watchman came along, and during that time he suffocated. It seems to be just one of those freak accidents that proves poop happens….

NBC Lies About Military Body Armor
Military official tasked with body armor development and acceptance claims NBC is guilty of emotional terrorism for misinforming parents of those serving on the frontiers of freedom in Iraq and Afghanistan. Can’t say that I disagree.
BTW, Dragon Skin™ is pretty good body armor but it is about 20 lbs. heavier. Had a chance to wear some. It is more flexible than the Interceptor vest but its not as good at stopping 7.62×51 NATO Armor Piercing or the 7.62×54R AP that is used in the variants of the Russian Dragunov sniping rifle. Both vests will stop the latest 5.56 M855/SS109 round and the standard Russian 7.62×39 AK round - at least the ballistic plate in the Interceptor will stop them while the side protection is only rated to pistol round and fragmentation protection. The Dragon Skin™ does offer more side protection from 5.56 and 7.62×39 than the Interceptor, though its inferior performance against Armor Piercing 7.62 (.30 caliber) in front and rear body mass area is a black mark against it. No personal body armor can stop a Browning .50 caliber round or equivalent, even in standard ball (FMJ) configuration.

“frontiers of freedom”
Henry you tin horn,
How about they just hunt down, and shoot the dumbyah out of Osama, then come home!
Why weren’t these missions sold as the liberation, re-education, and Christian-ization of Islamic People in Arab Lands. Bush called it a “Crusade” when he started, and backed off the name, but largely isn’t that what he has in mind.
Wasn’t that done before, how’d that work out?
Do you think maybe he wants to build a church with a golden roof in Iraq? With the kind of money he’s blown, he could have built a solid gold cathedral!
Thanks for the heads-up on Dragon Skin™ body armor. But, NBC said the “disks (or scales) tend to move” over time.
What’s up with you, and all your talk about weapons and body armor? I’m impressed, but probably not in the way you hoped Chickenhawk.

It’s true Henry, like you, I was never in combat. But, unlike you, I did serve! I wore the uniform, and followed orders I was given, if I had done otherwise, or if I never served, I might deserve your criticism. Still, somehow, you see my service in a very select Army Organization, as comparable to your own draft dodging!
Well, dumbo, I do know what it’s like to have a son in combat twice. Wait, until you see young Dick leave a big room, join a formation, and leave for war, until that happens, you will not know what I know!
The newspapers pretty much got it right about Desert Storm, and where my son’s unit was headed when the ground offensive began, but still as word began to come in, and I could see what was happening, and what units were involved, only then did I realize how much carnage, and what great danger my son was in.
What we saw here was the conscripts licking the boots of Marines; but to the north and west The Republican Guards lived up to their “Elite” status. Some units tried the “backward turret trick”, some tried to hold their ground, others did a “fighting retreat”.
Please Henry, you big macho guy, try to understand that you do not understand the cost of this war. More than that Henry, we’re going to run out of troops to send, our equipment is spent, and the Iraqi’s don’t want us there!
And the question you might ask: Is Muqtada al-Sadr better than Saddam? For the Iraqis, maybe. For the United States, no he is not! He doesn’t even like us as well as Saddam did, and the Iranians will give him a bomb, just to watch us squirm. And Henry, we don’t have a choice! Remember we turned over sovereignty to the Iraqi People.
Is this the deal Congress, and the American People signed onto? Is this worth all those young lives, if so send young Dick now, not later! Then call, and write your Senator, and tell him the vision you, and another idiot have for Iraq, because your Senator has most likely left your camp.

bober, allow me to let you in on a secret. In the real world the term “chickenhawk” is the designation used for a class of HAWKS … the Cooper’s Hawk, the Sharp-shinned Hawk and the Red-tailed Hawk … even though their diets typically include other prey. Hence the most correct useage would be directed at those grandiose desk jockeys and pencil pushers see themselves experts of war having only served in a peacetime army or having never seen actual combatant while tending to the rear in a war zone. That’s not my view but that of those who served in combat and then have to put up with non-combatants who outrank them or think themselves superior in some way.
My first experience with the word came from Vietnam combat veterans who served on the frontlines who loathed the “rear echelon pukes” who would pull rank (L@Y forté given how he has disrespected Mack here) or acted as if they know everything military while serving their one tour of duty of their four-year hitch in the relative safety of Saigon or Japan. These combat veterans called the most egregious ones “chickenhawks”, soldiers who never saw combat but acted as if they did and so were self-proclaimed “experts” with an extra stripe on their sleave.
Now I suppose you’re also grateful to the three biggest “chickenhawks” this country has ever seen, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt and Bill Clinton, neither of whom served a day in the American Armed Forces yet ordered American Marines, soldiers and sailors into harm’s way in what originally were controversial wars.
I also understand how the anti-war left uses the term to try and slap down those who support the mission of our military abroad, but the way they use the term “chickenhawk” would logically yield the following:
1) Only those with military experience (more specifically: those with combat experience) should make decisions about American foreign and war policy despite the fact the Constitution places military adventures under civilian control.
2) Only those who are teachers or educational administrators should make decisions regarding the education of our children. All others should shut up and let the “experts” do their job.
3) Only police officers and police chiefs should have a voice regarding law enforcement. All others are civilian “chickenhawks” and have no right to an opinion on how law enforcement conducts itself or the programs it engages in.
Jeff Jacoby of the Boston Globe writes:
Chicken hawk” isn’t an argument. It is a slur — a dishonest and incoherent slur. It is dishonest because those who invoke it don’t really mean what they imply — that only those with combat experience have the moral authority or the necessary understanding to advocate military force. After all, US foreign policy would be more hawkish, not less, if decisions about war and peace were left up to members of the armed forces. Soldiers tend to be politically conservative, hard-nosed about national security, and confident that American arms make the world safer and freer. On the question of Iraq — stay-the-course or bring-the-troops-home? — I would be willing to trust their judgment. Would Cindy Sheehan and Howard Dean?

Thank most of you in uniform for your service.

“”Chicken hawk” isn’t an argument. It is a slur!”
Yeah, and your point is?
65 Darthmeister // Jul 6, 2007 at 11:34 am
… therefore, if Lying@You insists on using the term “chickenhawk” on this forum, I will immediately apply it to him in my mind. All other veterans who visit here and promote honest dialogue instead of trying to shut it down with intellectually dishonest appellations like “chickenhawk” have my utmost respect even though we may disagree.
Plus, I still don’t believe a word L@Y says about himself. There’s something phony about the way he keeps invoking the past military accomplishments of his claimed ancestors and tirelessly reminding us of his military exploits. Of the hundreds of soldiers, Marines, veterans and combat veterans I’ve had the pleasure to meet and fellowship with over the last thirty years, I have never met a single one that endlessly harped about his military record like L@Y.
There are other veterans and combat veterans who regularly post here and not a single one have invoked their own military service to try and one-up L@Y. That says something right there.
66 boberinyetagain // Jul 6, 2007 at 11:41 am
Hank, check your meds please andadjust as needed.
I never called anyone, today or any other day, a “chickenhawk” so, arguing with me about the definition is not really required.

67 Laughing@You // Jul 6, 2007 at 12:01 pm
The definition of the slur “Chickenhawk” has two component parts, ABSENT THE SECOND COMPONENT PART, THE DEFINITION IS NOT MET.
IF THE FIRST COMPONENT PART IS NOT PRESENT, BEFORE THE SECOND COMPONENT PART IS ENGAGED! THE SLUR “Chickenhawk” DOES APPLY!
A. The first component part: Service in the military.
B. The second component part: An overzealous enthusiasm for a war you want somebody else to fight (and would not, or will not fight yourself, and would not, or will not want a member of your own family to fight) and die for!
In the parlance of the church; a hypocrite!

70 Shelly // Jul 6, 2007 at 12:14 pm
I’ve never heard the term chickenhawk used to describe people who support the decisions and efforts of the military and its leaders, if those supporters are civilians, until now. One must really hate those serving in the military if that hatred must be extended to their supporters as well. Imagine stretching this “definition” to sports fans, music fans, etc.
Is it even worth mentioning that “component” and “part” mean largely the same thing?
71 Laughing@You // Jul 6, 2007 at 12:35 pm
Yes, Shelly, “largely” the same, but not the same. Often such language is used to describe an “Assembly”.
There are supporters, and there are goaders.
I believe Henry is a goader. The form of goading he uses is shame! “If you don’t believe in the justification of this war, you are a coward, and you are un-American!”
What would Henry say, if one of his many military friends said to him this “war was a mistake!”

I can’t send you directly to the site, so I’m sending you to LittleGreenFootballs where you have the option of clicking on the link if you want to see photographic evidence of the sheer hatred that the anti-war leftists have for America. These are probably the same people who publicly say “they support the troops” (and some of them are probably more honest than that and don’t pretend to support the troops) and how much they “love” America. But when you see what lies within their hearts in their appreciation of that form of “art”, it tells an entirely different story of their deep-seated hatred for America past and present which borders on insanity.

Interesting debate, mostly by combat veterans, regarding the terms “staff pukes” and “REMF”.

They still haven’t come close to use up that stock. I came across that bit of information a couple of weeks ago.

Henry, I guess that’s either another example of the waste of the Bush Administration, or of you slinging waste.
The reason I say this is, there was a special on The Discovery Channel, or a channel like that, recently which aired a documentary on that very subject.
It showed the history of the medal, and the small company which took such pride in their manufacture. They said each medal is finished, by hand, in a process the maker would not reveal.
Well, you can just imagine my shock at your statement! Wouldn’t it be a shame for the military to buy new ones with a half million in the warehouse!

The surge is working. Withdrawal or drawdown before its goals are met will leave the abandoned Iraqis and the troops left behind as support vulnerable to unspeakable massacre.
This excerpt from Michael Yon (linked by Michael Ledeen) underscores how much the Iraqis hate the terrorists in their midst. Warning: graphic description.
“The horror of the terrorist onslaught rarely is brought home to the American public. Indeed, it is sometimes so grisly that not even American troops in the field can even talk about it without swallowing hard. Listen to Michael Yon, in his latest update from Diyala Province. This is really something:
“Speaking through an American interpreter, Lieutenant David Wallach who is a native Arabic speaker, the Iraqi official related how al Qaeda united these gangs who then became absorbed into “al Qaeda.” They recruited boys born during the years 1991, 92 and 93 who were each given weapons, including pistols, a bicycle and a phone (with phone cards paid) and a salary of $100 per month, all courtesy of al Qaeda. These boys were used for kidnapping, torturing and murdering people.
“At first, he said, they would only target Shia, but over time the new al Qaeda directed attacks against Sunni, and then anyone who thought differently. The official reported that on a couple of occasions in Baqubah, al Qaeda invited to lunch families they wanted to convert to their way of thinking. In each instance, the family had a boy, he said, who was about 11 years old. As LT David Wallach interpreted the man’s words, I saw Wallach go blank and silent. He stopped interpreting for a moment. I asked Wallach, “What did he say?” Wallach said that at these luncheons, the families were sat down to eat. And then their boy was brought in with his mouth stuffed. The boy had been baked. Al Qaeda served the boy to his family.”
Ledeen further comments and links to Yon here.
I am disgusted by naysayers about our Iraq engagement who don’t express outrage against a brutal enemy yet who continue to spew their venom against those supportive of our noble mission. Our troops deserve our gratitude and united vocal support for their dedication and sacrifice. They know what their mission is, and they are determined to see it completed with honor.
Yon says that there is “palpable progress in Baqubah”. Yet we have Nervous Nellies in our Congress with an eye to their own incumbency, unwilling to wait for Gen. Petraeus’s September report.
A pox on those anti-war activists and the political party that embraces them. A double pox on those members of Congress that have neither the will nor the fortitude to recognize the consequences of leaving Iraq before the nation can stand up.

See Operation Downfall from Wikipedia which quotes a source for the 500,000 purple hearts:
Nearly 500,000 Purple Heart medals were manufactured in anticipation of the casualties resulting from the invasion of Japan. To the present date, all the American military casualties of the sixty years following the end of World War II — including the Korean and Vietnam Wars — have not exceeded that number. In 2003, there were still 120,000 of these Purple Heart medals in stock.[42] There are so many in surplus that combat units in Iraq and Afghanistan are able to keep Purple Hearts on-hand for immediate award to wounded soldiers on the field.[42]
I don’t make this stuff up. If it’s an urban legend, it isn’t my fault. I also saw it sourced somewhere else but I can’t remember where.
It’s entirely possible there is a company that refurbishes these medals. I’m sure the ribbons on the medal wouldn’t be in very good shape after all these years. Think of the historical provenance of a medal made to be hung on those wounded in trying to take the island nation Japan.
Also, I didn’t call any soldier, sailor or Marine a “puke”. I merely quoted combat veterans who used the term in various contexts and variations. I’ve heard no less than three Vietnam combat veterans (one was a Green Beret) use the term “rear echelon pukes” (REP) in anger. No civilian is any position to call an American who served this country in any branch of the armed forces a “puke”, including Coast Guardsmen and National Guardsmen … unless he/she was dishonorably discharged.

Sharapova made the match look closer than it was in the second set, but it was the first time in the tournament I thought Venus had a chance to go all the way. She really straightened her game out and a lot of that had to do with her mental toughness. I guess her sister Serena had to battle some nagging injuries plus she simply wasn’t on-her-game anyway.

And now it’s looking like the whole algore3 aventure might have been a marketing ploy to help boost the sale of hybrids. Why they are designed to go 103 MPH (not 105 as some have alledged) while Hummers are designed only to do 88. Which means when I want to squash a Prius with my Hummer I’m gonna have to lie in wait for one instead of trying to catch one.
Is it possible that some hybrid manufacturer might be contributing to algore2’s presidential campaign fund (the stealth one) to let the family care be used in this scheme?
What the hell…throw the kid on the fire. Peanuts compared to what the “climate change” whackos want to do to the world economy!

120 Darthmeister // Jul 7, 2007 at 2:46 pm
EXT,
You can get the Hummer “rechipped” to remove the 88 mph limiter, but the Prius might out accelerate ya up to its own limiter.
I rechipped my Mustang which got me another ten horses and probably another 20 ft/lbs at the wheels. It also removed the mph limiter. With 290+ HP and Z-rated tires it should easily do 145 mph. I might take it to one of those top end five mile events. The entry fees are fairly reasonable.
121 EXT // Jul 7, 2007 at 3:36 pm
Great idea on rechipping the hybrid!
Perhaps those puppies use shunt-wound motors like the old streetcars. Them things just go faster and faster and faster until they fly apart. More than one was destroyed on the old Boston MTA in after-hours races.
Nice part of the automotive version…when the motors fly apart (if they fly apart) they’d likely kill the driver and any passengers stupid enough to be on board.

EXT,
Actually they’re developing hybrids that can out-accelerate even 450 HP conventional internal combustion engines. It has something to do with the bodacious torque the electric motors produce. Apparently in acceleration mode both the ICE and the electric motor are running. I’m hearing they can make factory stock hybrids which will do low 12s in the quarter mile. Now that’s bookin’.
They have the technology, but they may redirect it simply to put up high gas mileage figures. But a performance hybrid vehicle of the future may be made almost entirely out of composite materials and look something like this. Audi is working on this performance hybrid.

Oh…that one may be “urban legend” but in the next town over, about a month ago, a crack-impaired guy actually did try to rob a gun shop; waving a shotgun that later was proven to be unloaded.
He was not killed.
Just knee-capped.
By an elderly woman who had brought her properly licensed purse gun in to have the trigger tension backed off a bit. She subsequently decided not to have it done.
Question for gun shop operators:
When a customer comes in impersonating a rent-a-cop and is trying to pass off the universal product code from a Froot-Loops box as a “concealed carry” permit is it better to run him off or just give him what he wants in hope he’ll want to experience his new toy personally?

‘There seems to be a feeling that all of the rest of the world hates America. That simply isn’t true. The vast majority are madly in love with all of our liberals. Socialism and Communism have become like a cancer, so deeply imbedded in the thinking of “The World” that they want everyone to be as miserable as themselves.’
Heirborn Ranger
Um…somebody, PLEASE, tell me where this guy gets the lead curtain he obviously pulled over his eyes!?! First of all, the rest of the world does have a very negative opinion of this country. And it has nothing to do with 30 year old social programs or liberals for that matter. Our own government has been ousting democratically elected leaders for the sake of oil and other profits for decades. How would you feel if 19 Americans went down to China and blew up a building there, and in return the Chinese government sent an army and killed 600,000 of us? Would that look like justice to you?
I think it’s pretty obvious that this president is the poster child for insane, self-loving, sociopathic warmongers. He has the nerve to proclaim himself a Christian, and yet his every action screams the reverse. Would Christ really act the way this man does? Does he bear the fruit that the Word says will show us who true believers are? I love this country, but I can hardly blame people from other lands for seeing the hypocrisy of this government. Who knows what these people are capable of? We let our Vice-President shoot someone in the head, and it hardly made the news. I’m surprised there isn’t even more animosity out there.
I say we should try every one of these neo-con bastards as war criminals. Hell, we’ll be lucky if the President doesn’t activate his latest EO and just cancel the elections.

And how would we feel if China invaded America and killed 600,000 of us? Probably the same way when terrorists killed 3000 of us, but China would be a smoldering glass parking lot.
But to correct the left-wing media propaganda that you’ve so freely swilled, the number of Iraqi civilian deaths isn’t anywhere near 600,000. That would mean nearly 500 Iraqis a day would have to be killed for the last four years. Such a death toll would have never been overlooked by the radical Islamic media and whacko commie freaks around the world trying to undermine this country with such lies. The John Hopkins study you are alluding to is a total fraud. If there had been anywhere near that many Iraqis dying each day, the left-wing American media would have been all over it like flies on roadkill. The real number is less than one-tenth of that, and of that number about 95% have died at the hands of their own Muslim jihadist brethren, close to 4% have probably died as human shields felled by American steel while in pursuit of al Qaeda and insurgents who fight from civilian homes, and 1% was probably the result American troops having to shoot civilians who were disobeying warning signs and were trying to run roadblocks. The number of Iraqis that were truly murdered by American soldiers in a war zone is less than 200 over the last four years. By your reckoning American troops in World War II “slaughtered” 3 million European civilians and 2.5 million Japanese civilians during the course of the war. But was that war ever considered any less noble … that is until radical Muslim apologists and leftist hacks came along to try and put America on a guilt trip for civilian deaths in war zones past and present.
It’s getting tiresome listening to yet another version of “the devil (Great Satan America) is making Muslims murder one another in Iraq” in order to keep you from drawing the more valid conclusion that these civilians deaths are testament to the failure of Islam to keep the peace when a people is given an opportunity to make democratic reforms once they no longer live under religious or secular tyranny. And it’s far better we know this emerging fact as the cancer of radical Islam is being exposed to the light of day, particularly given how Iran may soon have the nuclear weapons it craves to use on Israel and kill as many western infidels as possible.

Henry,
The world doesn’t hate America. Even in Iran, Americans are still well regarded. But, please Henry, listen just a little. THE WORLD HATES GEORGE WALKER BUSH! That’s not politics, or distortion, he has gone out of his way to make people hate him. For what?
The world mourned with us on 911. But he has thrown their regard for the United States back in there faces. He disregards international law, and the national sovereignty of other nations. He has trampled on the United Nations Charter (we are signatories), The Geneva Conventions (forget telling me about loopholes). And, the world can see, he has violated his oath to uphold the United States Constitution.
We were once a beacon of justice, and a fairness to the world. Now, we employ dungeons, and torture, we throw people in jail on suspicion of terrorism for indefinite periods. Even our own “Bill of Rights” are no longer a barrier to this administration.
We have become what we once hated, under George Bush.
Maybe, an understanding of these thing may best be found in The Revelation of John.

Like we’ve noted before, people like you are so steeped in your own lies, hatreds and conspiracy theories you can’t see straight. America has always been envied, and envy always leads to hatred at the slightest provocation.
It’s a myth to think other peoples aren’t envious of America or generations didn’t grow up despising us because we helped destroy Europe and Japan while at the same time liberating their peoples from such horrible tyrannies - and not just once, but twice! Further proof of this warped animus is the fact that while we’re told we are hated, people from around the world immigrate here in droves! That certainly didn’t happen with Nazi Germany or even communist Russia. If America was so evil and deserving of such a label, this simply wouldn’t be happening.
Being the lone superpower, being an “empire” in some people’s eyes, make them mindlessly fearful of this great nation which was willing to “fight the good fight” against Nazi collectivism, the communist hegemony which threatened this world just a few decades ago and now jihadist depradations, but their hatred for us probably speaks to the dynamic that our successes have served to highlight the inadequacies and failures of their own societies or nations. And people just naturally hate successful people/nations that accomplish that which they can’t.
And those who do have a moral basis for their disgust with America, hate us for the immoral freaks and permissive lifestyles that the liberals in this country applaud - i.e. liberal decadence.
If we are truly the kind of nation that Islamists, leftists, communists, and other America-haters claim us to be, if we were to truly project that power we have had since World War II, it would be a world far, far different than it is today. And that American empire would be the one that old England, France, Germany and Spain could only dream about generations ago - hypocrites! If we were a more cynical people we would have conquered the world in light of the fact people couldn’t hate us any more than they do. But we aren’t that kind of people and we haven’t even attempted to mobilize our entire military appartus to accomplish such a thing even as we stood astride the world in 1945.
This explanation at Daniel Pipes probably most accurately expresses my own perspective on the issue.
The politics of rage and hatred of America among European leftists and international communists is little different than the the hatred for America among radical Islamic fundamentalists. So what’s your freakin’ point?
And delusional fifth columnists should read this perspective. You can’t handle the truth, L@Y so you’ll probably come up with some more ignorant pap to justify the world hating us for trying to do the right thing with respect to secular or religious tyrannies.

148 Solo2469 // Jul 8, 2007 at 12:30 pm
Wow, where to start?
“Like we’ve noted before, people like you are so steeped in your own lies, hatreds and conspiracy theories you can’t see straight. America has always been envied, and envy always leads to hatred at the slightest provocation.”
First of all you don’t know anything about me besides what I have said in a very brief comment. Related (by the way) not to the obvious satire that I laughed at right along with you, but to the delusional and in fact scary response to said satire. Next: the term ‘conspiracy theories’ refers to ANY attempt to violate or disregard the law by a group of two or more people. So by that definition the attacks of 911 which lead us to this state of world affairs is are inherently this. Using the term to dismiss and degrade people of a dissenting opinion is very common, however misguided, and only serves to highlight your own ignorance of the situation. I see just fine. It is the rhetoric and propaganda spewed since the horrible day of September that has clouded YOUR vision. I hate no one. But it does anger me immensely when people in power use it to further their own personal goals with absolutely no regard for the PEOPLE they claim to represent. And to envy us, when we have so obviously been hijacked as a nation by our own government WOULD be nuts. I hope and pray that the citizens of other nations do not hold us as a people accountable for the actions of our President. Who has been claiming the same ‘envy’ of our ‘freedoms’ as the reason why the ‘terrorists’ hate us. Perhaps it would do you some good to look up the definition of ‘terrorist’ in our very own ‘Patriot act.’ Anyone in violation of federal law in any way can now be classified as a ‘terrorist’ and jailed without the protection of habeas corpus in perpetuity. Where is the ‘freedom’ in THAT?
“Further proof of this warped animus is the fact that while we’re told we are hated, people from around the world immigrate here in droves!”
The ‘droves’ that are immigrating here are fleeing a desperation that you and I can hardly even imagine. If we had the same trials in our lives, then maybe we would be the kind of God-fearing ‘Christians’ that we see in underground churches in countries like China and Saudi Arabia. (our allies, btw) As it is, we see poor Mexicans and displaced Cubans seeking a better life here. But not ‘because’ we are the beacon of hope we used to be, but IN SPITE of the fact we are not. And while I am on the subject, I resent being refered to as a ‘liberal.’ I do hold to some social beliefs that would be termed that way by some. But as my profile suggests I am a libertarian, politically, and therefore my desire for this country is a return to the true nature the founding fathers seemed to have intended. (Fair and balanced markets, nonintervention, personal freedom, and limited government, to name a few.) I do not now, nor will I ever hold to the socialist (liberal) party line, which you suggest.
“Being the lone superpower, being an “empire” in some people’s eyes, make them mindlessly fearful of this great nation which was willing to “fight the good fight” against Nazi collectivism…et al”
Have you people read the CFR study on foreign policy from October 2000? The goal of those in power today is none other than total global domination by means of force. They discuss it openly, comment on it in interviews and change public policy to fit it. I am not making this up. Just because they aren’t foolish enough to use those exact words doesn’t diminish their intent. In fact I think it adds a more ominous tone to the whole thing. They mention how hard it will be to reach these goals in light of the public outcry that would result. Their answer is two-fold. Either they must make the needed changes (military buildup, wide-spread intervention in other nations, constricted local and personal freedom) slowly over time, or barring that, they would need “a catastrophic, catalyzing event like a new pearl harbor.” The choice between these two paths came suddenly 11 months later, when 3000+ lives were needlessly sacrificed. Dozens of politicos and media personalities have dubbed the attacks of 911 as ‘a new Pearl Harbor’ since then. Maybe that is a coincidence, and maybe it isn’t. I would ask that you let the evidence decide that. When, and if, we ever get a real and unbiased investigation of the events of that day. Until then all we have is speculation, because truly no thinking person can accept the idea that 19 Arab Muslims (6 of whom are still alive by the way) carried out the most spectacular military-terrorist attack in the history of this world. And all this while being led by a man in a cave in Afghanistan?
This comment is already too long, so I will desist. However it is dreadfully unfortunate that so many Americans have bought into the ideas we are force-fed by the media and our government. The fact is that those in control of the information we are given exert a phenomenal amount of control on our perceptions. Their own Zionist aims match well with our country’s foreign policy these days, and therefore we get their glossed-over view of things. When that is put with the colossally successful fear campaign of the federal government we are left only with questions and our own ability to research and seek out the truth for ourselves. I urge all of you to re-think the motivations of people like Carl Grove and GWB. Who benefits from the changes we have seen in the last 6 or 7 years in this country? Are we more liberated, or less? Safer, or less so? And who are these people that represent the 30 or so percent that still support this President and his war? How would Christ have reacted to the attack on 911? With hate and fear? With bombs and guns? I say NO!! I challenge anyone to search out the Truth on this, and come back with anything remotely like what we have done. We are a nation of hard-working and underpaid people, mislead by those we trusted to take care of us. And trusting in MEN will always bring us to ruin.

Now it is true that you’ve cleaned up your act of late in regard to the latter (I still don’t know about the first two) but your history here is a matter of record given the number of other witnesses to your personal vendetta against Scrapplers.
I could go on, but I’m already getting angry thinking about the hundreds of self-righteous, finger-pointing canards that you’ve engaged in here at Scrappleface and now you have the temerity to usurp moral authority in order to call me on the carpet for holding a mirror up to your face. Yeah, your words and actions here over the last two years have been pretty scummy, particularly toward female Scrapplers who were only trying to get you to see their POV. I won’t back down from that assessment on my part. Unfortunately, any other words I might have to describe my basic sentiment toward you are the four-letter variety that aren’t appropriate to use here. So sue me for thinking them.
I’ll be the first to admit I’m a sinner saved only by divine grace and that it is entirely my fault allowing you to provoke me to sin from time to time in my loathing that I have for you. And praise be that my eternal Savior has already forgiven me on the Cross of Christ two thousand years ago for such momentary weaknesses. But don’t think for a second that you’re going to assume the role of my personal holy spirit while steeped in your own sin and hate. Do you see yourself as a sinner, Bravo39?
BTW, where did Jesus ever call people “chickenhawks”, or refer to rulers and authorities who bear the sword against evildoers as “warmongers”? Let’s broaden this question, where in the Bible are such terms used? Physician, heal thyself!
Just for you, Bravo39.
Revelation 22: 10-11 - Revised Standard
Then He told me, “Do not seal the words of prophecy of this book, because the time is near. Let him who is filthy continue to be filthy; let him who is vile continue to be vile … “
I guess I stand rebuked. I should simply let Bravo39 be Bravo39 - the officer and gentleman that you are.

Solo,
To answer your rhetorical question about how I know your sources, consider this bit of wisdom: “Invariably the only original thought a person has is thinking their thoughts are original.”
The way I see it, in terrestrial terms there are five basic places a person can get information today - through osmosis out of thin air (which seems to be your preferred method I guess), through the liberal news media and liberal culture, through the radical blogosphere which now consists of strange bedfellows on the far right and the far left, through Islamic sites, and through the conservative blogosphere and the conservative culture. Everything you believe you know is filtered through the last four sources.
Almost daily I try to carefully examine the last four and then make up my mind what constitutes the facts of an issue. For example, I spend quite a bit of time listening to the spin of the liberal news media throughout the day and then at the end of the day try to separate the chaff from the wheat - i.e. read between the lines. Like the apostle Paul encouraged, “Examine everything carefully but hold fast to that which is good.” And in general, holding to paranoic conspiracy theories isn’t good or constructive.

Darthmeister: You said, “Examine everything carefully but hold fast to that which is good.” And in general, holding to paranoic conspiracy theories isn’t good or constructive.

They’ll only interpret our statements as us “conspiring” together, c.a.t. There go the black helicopters to kill those who have uncovered our plot!
Another characteristic of “conspiracies” is they never turn out the way they are suppose to because of the sheer complexity of the whole Rube Goldberg machination as imagined by paranoic conspiracists. To claim there is some malevolent conspiracy by the evil genius Karl Rove and the purported idiot savant George Bush and his alter ego mini-Cheney to first subjugate Americans with secret (and not so secret) executive orders, destroy the entire Muslim world in a Christian Holy War, and then take over the rest of the world and hold it hostage for … $100 million dollars … no, no, $100 TRILLION DOLLARS and 100,000 shares of Iraqi National Oil company … is simply ludicrous.
P.S. And destroy the secret neo-con tape recording … “this tape will self-destruct in five seconds” … (cue Mission Impossible theme song) . And destroy the secret decoder ring, too.

OT…
A liberal cousin of mine sent me the following…
Question:
How many members of the Bush Administration does it take to change a light bulb?
Answer: TEN
1. One to deny that a light bulb needs to be changed.
2. One to attack the patriotism of anyone who says the light bulb needs to be changed.
3. One to blame Clinton for burning out the light bulb.
4. One to tell the nations of the world that they are either for
changing the light bulb or for eternal darkness.
5. One to give a billion dollar no-bid contract to Halliburton for a new
light bulb.
6. One to arrange a photograph of Bush, dressed as a janitor and standing on a step ladder, under the banner “Bulb Accomplished”.
7. One administration insider to resign and in detail reveal how Bush was literally “in the dark” the whole time.
8. Another one to viciously smear #7.
9. One surrogate to campaign on TV and at rallies on how George Bush has had a strong light bulb-changing policy all along.
10. And finally, one to confuse Americans about the difference between screwing in a light bulb and screwing the country.
And after all is said and done, no one will notice that they never actually managed to change the light bulb.
To which I replied:
How do Democrats change a light bulb?
1. First, form an exploratory committee to discover how to unscrew as Democrats are only familiar with screwing voters, taxpayers, and occasional interns.
2. Cut off power to the switch by making sure no electricity can be generated by nuclear, coal, hydroelectric, ANWAR oil, or wind farms off Nantucket.
3. Form a committee of new age religious leaders to chant for enlightenment.
4. Have members of NOW and Planned Parenthood demand the constitutional right to abort the light bulb.
5. Ask their illegal alien housekeepers to bring in electricians from Mexico to change the light bulb.
6. Have Congress pass legislation mandating the states change the light bulb, but not provide funding to do so.
7. Have the EPA perform an impact study to determine the effect that changing the light bulb will have on the environment.
8. Have union workers change the light bulb, but be sure they are paid 4 times the prevailing wage, plus medical, dental, and retirement benefits, for themselves, spouse, same sex partner, and various livestock in perpetuity.
9. Refuse to change the light bulb so as not to offend the cultural sensitivities of those who prefer to live in darkness.
10. Al Gore declares changing the light bulb would increase global warming, and Congress passes legislation requiring the light bulb remain unchanged. Hold a series of world wide concerts to celebrate the renewal of the earth where attendees will burn thousands of gallons of fossil fuels getting back and forth, create tons of foul trash, and declare that those who disagree with them are unenlightened, polluting, baby bombing fascists.

Republicans drafting impeachment documents!
(A&P/Rooters)
With Congressional approval ratings at an all-time low of 14% it is now a certainty that Democrats will surrender control of both houses in 2008.
Present low numbers for President Bush indicate he cannot be re-elected. Democrats, unaware of term limits and planning on Hillary-for-life, are proceeding with caution. They live in constant fear that Bush might somehow reverse the trend and soon have an approval rating more than double theirs (28%+).
Republicans are less confident of the presidency, though the impending threats by Islamic militants (well, one anyway) to unseat Speakerette Nancy Pelosoi might create a feminist landslide with Peloso taking the Democrat nomination in a backlash and Hillary relegated to the VP nod.
Still, on the assumption that The Cut, Run, Appease Party (CRAP) will take the White House, a select committee has begun drafting impeachment documents to be brought into play within 24-hours of the inaugeration of a Democrat president in the event that happens.
So far the committee has agreed on inclusion of such particulars as Giving and Comfort to The Enemy In Time of War; Treason and bad haircuts. The latter was a matter of controversy until Karl Rove urged the delegates to look closely at photos of Hillary as well as those of John Edwards. A “Celluilte Concealment” charge was held in reserve until closer to the election. Similarly, an Environmental Terrorism charge is being held pending the outcome of the algore-for-world- emperor fundraisers of the past weekend.
The document does not specify a name, only blank spaces to be filled in. A spokesperson said the name isn’t important; the basic charges will stick to any potential Democrat candidate that has emerged so far. “It’s only a matter of adding the further charges appropriate to any particular individual”.
“Welcome,” the spokesperson said, “to the post-party era…the age of Government by Gotcha!”
Uncomfirmed reports said a team of photo-journalist wannabes are gathering photos of Democrat hopefuls to morph them into images of their being frog-marched off the inaugeration platform and taken immediately to Guantanamo Bay for a vacation from the stresses of the office.

I was wrong about Democrats surrendering in 2008.
They’ve already done it and now it remains only for their replacements, Hugo Chavez, Ayman Al Zawahiri, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Kim Jong Il and Ali Khamenei to formally be handed their committee leaderships.
They’re said to be squabbling, though, over which one will be named “Speakerette”. There are cultural reasons some of them feel they cannot assume a role once held by a female still, since it represents “power” despite the need to wear the burqa on state occasions.

From Natan Sharansky, a former Soviet dissident who was imprisoned for nine years in the gulag, chairman of the Adelson Institute for Strategic Studies in Jerusalem.
If America Abandons Iraq A Bloodbath Will Follow … and in my view the cut-and-run left will own that bloodbath given their single-minded insistence America precipitously abandons Iraq despite the dire warnings of many Iraqis and the Iraqi government itself.
He also has an excellent take on human rights organizations having previously whitewashed Marxist tyrannies just as they whitewash Islamic totalitarianism:
For most people, life under totalitarianism is slavery with no possibility of escape. That is why despite the carnage in Iraq, Iraqis are consistently less pessimistic about the present and more optimistic about the future of their country than Americans are. In a face-to-face national poll of 5,019 people conducted this spring by Opinion Research Business, a British market-research firm, only 27 percent of Iraqis said they believed that “that their country is actually in a state of civil war,” and by nearly 2 to 1, the Iraqis surveyed said they preferred life under their new government to life under the old tyranny. That is why, at a time when many Americans are abandoning the vision of a democratic Iraq, most Iraqis still cling to the hope of a better future. They know that under Hussein, there was no hope.
213 Laughing@You // Jul 9, 2007 at 11:13 pm

“3) Only police officers and police chiefs should have a voice regarding law enforcement. All others are civilian “chickenhawks” and have no right to an opinion on how law enforcement conducts itself or the programs it engages in.”
So, we as the people who employ the individuals that choose law enforcement as a career have no say in how they go about enforcing the law? hmmm…
Doesn’t anyone see how phenomenally irrisponsible that would be? If we have no say who does? If my son gets shot because he is playing with a toy gun in front of our house, I should just say, “Oh, he didn’t mean to do it, it was an accident.” ?!? Now I see why fellow conservatives see no reason to question another employee of ours. The President of the United States. Who today evoked executive privilege so that his advisers can’t be questioned by the very body that was put in place for that reason. Call me a “Bush hater” if you like, but this guy is as crooked as a bobby pin.

1. Illegal wire-tapping of American citizens.
2. Entering into a war and killing/sacrificing thousands of lives based on a lie they new was fabricated (weapons of mass distruction, and Iraqi( and Saddam Hussein) being involved in the attacks on 911.
3. Lying about not having intelligence reports warning of just such an attack.
4. The illegal incarceration and torture of prisoners of war.
5. Enciting hate and fear to further political aims.
6. Outing a covert CIA operative in an effort to stop a news story that proved the administration was at least distorting the situation in Iraq.
7. Passing laws and executive orders that have culminated in the almost complete decimation of the American constitution. And then revering to it as just a “goddamn piece of paper.”
8. And last but not least sitting for 10 minutes on his ass doing nothing when advised the country was under attack.
Most of these ARE high crimes, treason, and impeachable.

Yeah, Natan Sharansky must be a neo-con shill, that’s why he was put in a Soviet gulag all those years. He should simply be ignored. The man obviously has no insight into totalitarianism since history invariably demonstrates when tyrants and terrorists are opposed, people die and its always the liberators’ fault for upsetting the apple cart. And we also know it is not right to overturn one despotic regime without overturning them all. Why pick on Saddam’s regime when there are other regimes just as bad or maybe even worse like Iran and North Korea? It isn’t fair.

More news from the front at the milblogs Mudville Gazette and BlackFive.
On Independence day anti-war moonbat shoots Airman Schrieken who served in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Excerpt:
My son’s best friend, Jon, who’s in the Air Force stationed in New Jersey at Fort Dix/McGuire Air Force Base was shot by a crazed anti-military white guy on Independence Day and he remains in critical condition. He had been on leave here in Ohio and got back to his home off base and was unpacking stuff from his car when this 22 year old guy walked up to him and asked him if he lived in the house. When Jon said yes, the guy said “not any more” and shot him point blank in the chest. He tried to shoot him again, but his gun jammed. Jonathan made it into the house. The guy then shot himself. Turns out the guy left a couple of suicide notes stating how much he hated the military and he wanted to go out making a statement, so he chose to make his statement on Independence Day trying to kill a soldier. We are very worried about our Airman. He’s the sweetest, nicest, do anything for ya kid and he’s like a son to me. He’s been to Iraq and Afghanistan on our behalf and then gets shot in his own driveway here in the U.S by an anti-war, anti-American lunatic. This is gut wrenching.

Allow me to re-post an item that I had posted late in a thread at captainsquartersblog. It bears repeating and should have wide dissemination.
Another continent heard from (and the message from Aftica to the condescending Greens and global warming alarmists is not pretty):
“Few people in Africa will get to see Al Gore and his troupe of rock-star ecologists strutting their stuff during the series of Live Earth concerts this weekend -because most have neither television nor electricity.
“That’s just as well, because they would be aghast at LiveEarth’s bizarre message. In Africa, we have much more serious things to worry about than climate change.
“Indeed, if they achieve their objective the concerts will have done harm to the people of Africa.”

Hmm, impeachment might be a good idea. We’ve got six months before Primary season, and there’s nothing else happening. Impeaching Bush could fill up a lot of airtime.
Or congress could spend their time actually learning about the issues they vote on.
BWAHAHAHA. j/k. Impeach away.
222 Darthmeister // Jul 10, 2007 at 7:17 am
1. Illegal wire-tapping of American citizens.
[Jumping the gun there. The courts certainly haven’t determined that under reasonable circumstances warrantless searches and “wiretaps” are illegal. In fact the opposite is true.. Whether you want to admit it or not, the recent overturning of Judge Diggs ridiculous and incoherent ruling on the matter supports this view up to this point]
2. Entering into a war and killing/sacrificing thousands of lives based on a lie they new (sic) was fabricated (weapons of mass distruction (sic), and Iraqi( and Saddam Hussein) being involved in the attacks on 911.
[A total canard. You’ve proven nothing except that you’re totally steeped in the propaganda of Bush-haters and America-blamers. We and others have demolished this “argument” years ago. It’s not our fault you refuse to be rebuked on your self-imposed ignorance on this point. There were at least four other major reasons for going into Iraq as stated in the October 2002 Joint Congressional Resolution for use of American Force in Iraq. And what do you say about the over 500 WMD that were found in Iraq that met UN Resolution 1441’s definition of WMD? Also, Dick Cheney only said there were investigations into a possible al Qaeda-Saddam connection regarding 9/11. The Administration has consistently said since those earlier investigations there was no operational connection, despite the manipulated “quotes” by left-wing hacks that have tried to make it appear the Administration was saying Saddam helped planned 9/11.]
3. Lying about not having intelligence reports warning of just such an attack.
[More of your own lies. There were no actionable intelligence reports that could have made a difference. Just because some agent is making best guesses doesn’t mean there was a “report” that “facts” were ignored. How about exercising some of the vaunted “nuance” you so-called progressives pride yourself on having. How about being fair-minded for once in your life and quit patting yourself on the back for exercising 20/20 hindsight can be exercised to make anyone appear to be more brilliant than a bamboo stick.]
4. The illegal incarceration and torture of prisoners of war.
[The actual status of unlawful enemy combatants under the Constitution have not been determined by the Supreme Court. Even legitimate POW like in World War II were kept in confinement “for the duration.” Your comment is entirely premature and hyperbolic.
Torture? Certainly not the kind of torture engaged in by our enemies. I suppose you’re going to claim we’ve “stooped to their level.” I oppose use of torture methods that have been historically used on American troops by our enemies, but I think it reckless and unreasonable to limit our interrogation of unlawful enemy combatants to harsh words and disapproving glares. The Constitution is not a suicide pact.]
5. Enciting hate and fear to further political aims.
[Sounds like what you people do with your Bu$Hitler canards, stories about alleged “torture”, spy programs, wiretapping programs, ad nauseam. Quit being a hypocrite. Your side isn’t above using fear tactics to accomplish you own political goals. Your screed here proves it. Besides, I don’t think it an overstatement to say Islamofascists would take great joy in beheading people like you once your usefulness to them has run its course, dear infidel.]
6. Outing a covert CIA operative in an effort to stop a news story that proved the administration was at least distorting the situation in Iraq. [Blah, blah, blah. This one demonstrates your utter self-imposed ignorance. Special Prosecutor Fitzgerald found absolutely no evidence that a “covert CIA operative” was ever outted by anyone in the Administration, otherwise he would have charged them. In fact, the person who “outted” Valerie Plame was none other than anti-Ira war advocate Dick Armitage in the State Department … or haven’t you heard? And pleased don’t try and move the goalposts in order to prop us this stupid canard. BTW, Joe Wilson himself is a liar.]
7. Passing laws and executive orders that have culminated in the almost complete decimation of the American constitution. And then revering (sic) to it as just a “goddamn piece of paper.”
[Then why aren’t you in prison as a dangerous enemy to “neo-cons” if what you say is true? If the Constitution has been so shredded, where are the concentration camps and rendition centers making the lives of people like you a living hell? Your own freedom to rant here proves what an utter liar you are. Consider the reality of what you are saying for a moment.
As to the alleged comment by President Bush, do you have a “mainstream” news organization that has verified the comment and given the names of the three purported witnesses to this outburst? I’d be interested to see that documentation. I’ve never heard it before and it was supposedly uttered almost two years ago. When I Google it all I get are left-wing bloggers in a feeding frenzy over it. If it is documented Bush did make that comment, then that sentiment is certainly indefensible and goes well beyond what we maintain here that our unalienable rights are a gift of God, the Constitution only enumerates those rights in our covenant with a federal government.]
8. And last but not least sitting for 10 minutes (sic) on his ass doing nothing when advised the country was under attack.
[That’s exactly what Usama bin Laden and al-Zawahiri claimed: “While your country was being attacked, your president sat for seven minutes reading a book about goats to children.” If President Bush had responded those seven minutes sooner, would it had made any difference in keeping the Twin Towers standing? It certainly would not have saved one more life since the first responders were already in action. Or maybe we could have attacked the Taliban and al Qaeda in Afghanistan seven minutes earlier so you could have seven more minutes of complaining. What’s your ignorant point? I bet you voted for John Kerry (if you’re old enough to vote). How about his and other Democrats’ much longer paralysis during 9/11 … a paralysis admitted to not inferred as in your case:
“In an interview with Larry King on CNN, July 8, 2004, Sen. Kerry was asked where he was the morning of September 11th. Here is part of his response:
Kerry: “…And as I came in [to a meeting in Sen. Daschle’s office], Barbara Boxer and Harry Reid were standing there, and we watched the second plane come in to the building. And we shortly thereafter sat down at the table and then we just realized nobody could think, [my note: not an uncommon state of mind for liberals] and then boom, right behind us, we saw the cloud of explosion at the Pentagon…”.
It should be noted that the second plane hit the World Trade Center at 9:03 a.m., and the plane hit the Pentagon at 9:43 a.m. By Kerry’s own words, he and his fellow senators sat there for nearly forty minutes, realizing “nobody could think”!

Apparently, you suffer from a Kool-Aid deficiency. You haven’t been listening to Rush and Shawn, everyday, have you? Remember these two are god’s messengers, they’ll never steer you wrong!
How can you even be a Christian let alone an American and not support Dumbyah? You must always remember his ways are not our ways; the lord guides his footsteps you know? It was his “Higher Father” who led him (and us) into Iraq.
Even though, Brother Jerry Falwell has gone on to his “reward”, remember we still have, Brother Pat Robertson and his “mini-me” Ralph Reed (forget the Jack Abramoff thing).
Either that, or you might read a book by Rev. Joel Hunter the Former President-elect, Christian Coalition of America (however brief) entitled “Right Wing, Wrong Bird: Why the Tactics of the Religious Right Won’t Fly With Most Conservative Christians”.
It is my pleasure to know Dr. Hunter, and I endorse his views.
So there, I hope that helps you, you commie heathen!

L@Y, I am going to give you a kindly word of advice. God is not mocked and you have done just that in #226. You are not so brilliant that you have any idea what He has been doing over the past 7 years or what He will do in the future. God has a hand in everything, good and bad, either working His good or allowing the bad for His purposes. If you had been born in Old Testament times, you would have been one of the 10 men who told Moses that the Land of Caanaan was full of big, bad men and that they shouldn’t go in and kill everyone like the Lord had instructed. Bush and Cheney would have been obedient like Joshua and Caleb. Why don’t you read up on that time in history and let us all know what happened to those 10 men and their families?
I am not saying that the Iraq war was divinely inspired - I have no clue - but I am saying that if you are a Christian, you will know that scripture tells us “Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority, or to the governors as sent by Him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right. For such is the will of God that by doing right you may silence the ignorance of foolish men. “ I ask you - if we are to submit to our President, as Christians, because he was sent by Him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right, then if he punishes Saddam for his evil, who are you to question that? Again, I tell you. Be careful. God will not be mocked.

3. Christ said to render unto Caesar what is his and to God what is His. If Caesar is rebelling against God, then God takes him out (by people, other kings/leaders or otherwise) and sometimes even chastises whole nations (Old Testament over and over). Our nation could be easily being chastised and it could get worse. But it will be because as a nation, we are no longer obedient to the Lord.
243 Darthmeister // Jul 10, 2007 at 9:46 am
I’ve checked all the sources I could on the alleged Bush quote regarding the Constitution and I found all fingers point to one lone source, a left-wing blogger named Doug Thompson at Capital Hill Blue. Thompson made this claim after having allegedly been told by three anonymous Republicans in attendance at a meeting where Bush is alleged to have said what he is alleged to have said by left-wing kooks all over the internet. BUSTED!
Of course there isn’t any independent corroboration of this story by any responsible liberal journalists in the lamestream media who would love to corroborate such allegations. This is similar to other leftist lies which allege Bush is to have said, “Iraq is an imminent threat” or any variation thereof. It was Jay Rockefeller (D-Moon) who said, “Iraq was an imminent threat.” SpinCity has the most correct take on that complex lie of the left.
So the only thing I can conclude, Solo, given the other lies you’ve already told to us earlier in this thread and now having most recently tried to sell this lie about what Bush is alleged to have said about the Constitution which you sourced from sophisticated left-wing hate bloggers like Doug Thompson - nice try, pal, but no cigar.
BTW, you’re on record here whining about how I unfairly portrayed the sources of your information as coming from radical left-wing bloggers who are supposedly NOT the inspiration of your self-aggrandizingly unique view of actual history. Given your wretched track record already, I can only conclude any pretense that you may entetain in that you are an independent thinker who has arrived at your talking points through verifiable original sources has now been blown out of the water with your demonstrably leftist/anarchist rant at #216.

245 Laughing@You // Jul 10, 2007 at 10:06 am

John the Baptist was beheaded for speaking out against (King) Herod’s sin.
“The Bible instructs us to honor kings, or governors sent by God.”
Was Bill Clinton sent by God? Did you honor him? Did you support efforts to impeach him?
Hypocrite! I’m going to put my face back in my pillow now. As you were!
246 Darthmeister // Jul 10, 2007 at 11:09 am
Was Bill Clinton sent by God?
Yes
Did you honor him?
Yes
Did you support efforts to impeach him?
Yes, because he undermined the very rule of law and Constitution he swore to uphold when he bald-faced lied not just to the American people but under oath in a court of law in front of a federal judge and grand jury in order to conspire to deny justice to another American.
I Peter 2:13 - Therefore submit yourselves to every governmental institution of man for the Lord’s sake, whether to the King as supreme, or to governors, as to those who are sent by Him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of those who do good.
Romans 13:1 - Let every soul be subject to the governoring authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinances of God, and those who resist will bring judgement on themselves. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. … For he is God’s minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he is God’s minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil … For because of this you pay taxes.
Render unto Caesar.
Using these two verses Christians over the centuries, including the founding fathers, developed a very simple test for determining if government or the King is a legitimate ruler under God or a usurper: If government stops causing fear in evildoers and instead causes reasonable fear among its good people, it proves itself not to be a minister of God and is illegitimate and should be overthrown.
In the leftists case, more often than not they are partisan hacks engaging in their echo chamber paranoia, conspiracy theories, and kangaroo courts which are the basis of their “fear”. Their litany of alleged offenses are easily knocked down as partisan lies. Their whole case against the Bush Administration is a house of cards being actively promoted by their accomplices in the liberal media and foisted upon the American public. And if a person “lives in terror” of this rather benign American government which bears the sword against bona fide evildoers, what does that say about that person’s own rebellious nature which is responding in that manner to that legitimate projection of power?
Indeed, under our system of government a ruler can be impeached if he/she has engaged in demonstrable impeachable offenses as set forth in our Constitution. Disagreements over policy differences or disagreement over legitimate uses of Constitutional powers (like commutations, declaring war in concert with Congress on this country’s sworn enemies, etc.) do not qualify as impeachable offenses under the “high crimes” provision. A moral people can’t, or at least we shouldn’t, impeach a President because you personally hate him. And that’s all the leftists have whined about - they hate Bush, they hate conservatives or they hate an America that will defend herself against sworn enemies abroad … and within.
247 conserve-a-tips // Jul 10, 2007 at 11:38 am
Darthmeister: God gave us the perfect picture in the Old Testament. First, He only gave them rulers (kings) because they demanded them. Previously, they had been under judges, but they wanted a king and so He put them under the authority of a king and under that authority we have stayed to this day. (king/president/prime minister/etc.) He gave the rulers authority, but there were many who misused that authority and in doing so, brought judgement on their heads and certain removal. That removal came as a result of natural causes, men within their spheres of familiarity (can we say, “Et tu, Brute?”) or through the armies of other kingdoms.
The problem with liberals is that they argue against the ‘placing ourselves under authority’ bit when they disagree with a point of view, but then try to place us in total bondage to a government instead of giving all authority to God. I am realizing, though, that those who do that are going to have to come to the end of themselves in order to see God face-to-face and fall down in utter submission. No arguing, reasoning, coercion or teaching will change their view of the world. Only God, in his absolute wisdom, can do that.

I’m trying to imagine the “brave”, patriotic Lying@You living in any other time than the 20th Century. The New Testament was written during the reigns of various Caesars. Can you imagine any “brave” leftist standing in some public forum railing against any Caesar in a province like Judea, calling for the overthrow of the “evil” Roman state which has declared “illegal and immoral war” on any number of nations that it viewed as a threat to its hegemony? Here’s a taste of of real Roman justice to which the early Christians submitted themselves: In the early times of the Republic every act of a citizen which was injurious to the State or its peace was called Perduellio, and the offender (perduellis) was tried before the populus (populi judicio), and, if convicted, put to death (Liv. II.41, VI.20).
To be sure, that was a time of Pax Romana “the rule of Roman law”. If the big-mouth “progressive” wasn’t run through with a sword by a Roman Centurion for enciting a crowd to immediate rebellion, he/she would be dragged before the populus, efficiently ajudicated according to Roman law for speaking lies and sedition against a legitimate ruler and then if they escaped the death penalty they may be lucky enough to be clapped in irons and thrown in a dungeon instead of thrown into a den of lions - a fate which awaited many principled Christians for refusing to worship the emperor.
And isn’t it amazing just how much mercy and tolerance whining leftists are shown in a “fascist” nation like 21st Century America? Leftists today would have absolutely no clue in how to live peaceably or survive under any other form of government in any other era than this singular time in which they are so fortunate to find themselves today. Hence their well deserved label of being whining handwringers, people who are a law unto themselves who pine for a utopia which panders to every one of their nihilistic lusts and desires. This is precisely why Islamists see America as soft, weak, decadent and on the verge of collapse.

The demonocrats want to destroy America. But God will intervene if we pray for our Nation. Then there will be one America and there will not be anyone like you ever elected again. The pro t-e-r r-o-rist demon-o’crats will in the end be un-elected and dismissed away with all the other madmen who dreamed of ruling the world without the God of creation
Your continued back-end kissing of the liberal left will result in your own special Bumper sticker, “LOSER”. You may comment about this if your stupid enough.
Speaking of which, in Corinthians, you look for it “A spiritual man can judge all things spiritual,but he himself may not be judged.” So stop listening to the left lest you be judged a bible freak who hasn’t a clue what Christ meant about anything He said.
This is a fun blog site for the informed of the truth. Every time you quote the Bible with your misunderstanding of it shows you should go to a Bible school and learn and listen to the Holy Spirit. “All things will pass away, but my word shall not pass away.” Jesus, Jushua, Lord Sabaoath.

Henry,
See if can answer me clearly and simply, without distortion and obfuscation.
“Why was it not wrong for the British Colonist in “America”to renounce their allegiance to George III of Britain?”
After all, he was their King, and he offended the colonists far less egregiously than has President George W. Bush today’s Americans!
Was it theft for them to declare lands belonging to England to be their own?
Was the Declaration of Independence a document written in violation of Holy Scripture?
Were all those who resisted King III doing so in sin? If so, how then can we be a Christian Nation?
I expect your answer will make a judgment about The Crown that your view of the scriptures does not allow you to make.
Don’t start with the dumb stuff about how they studied this issue unless you can show specif deliberation on it, then tell me what was the tipping point. That final factor!
In the Impeachment of George W. Bush:
Article One: Dereliction of His Duties in Violation of Oath to the People of the United States.
The President’s Daily Brief from 6 August 2001, headlined “Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in US.” Having read this the president did NOTHING! He continued his vacation, instead of exercising the due diligence required of his office, in violation of his oath to the American People
Likewise: Former CIA director George Tenet told the 9/11 Commission that he had warned of an imminent threat from al-Qaeda in a July 2001 meeting with Condoleezza Rice, adding that he believed Rice took the warning seriously, according to a transcript of the interview and the recollection of a commissioner who was there.
Knowing these things he nominated Condoleezza Rice to be Secretary of State November 16, 2004.

SCENARIO #2
Christians know how to live peaceably under every form of government imagineable. That’s how we’ve thrived for two thousand years.
On the other hand, take the big-mouth, spoilt brat, know-it-all liberal of today. Imagine them being transported back to just even the Civil War period in this country’s history. Imagine what their very public “outrage” would be when Abraham Lincoln eventually did declare an “illegal and immoral” war on the South that would ultimately result in the deaths of over two million Americans and in billions of dollars of destruction throughout the land over a four year period. There certainly was no constitutional prescription to declare war on the states themselves, yet that’s what President Lincoln and the Republican-led Congress did. Yet mainstream historians today recognize the greatness of President Lincoln and seek to understand the hard decisions he had to make regarding his more controversial actions during a time of war.
And then imagine the modern progressive’s further outrage when President Lincoln would “shred the Constitution” by suspending the writ of habeas corpus. One has to wonder how of these transplanted liberals would be screaming for Lincoln’s impeachment for “high crimes and misdemeanors” against the American people.
Now if these enlightened and principled progressives weren’t first sent to a sanitarium by their own ancestors for previously preaching the joys of homosexuality, the unalienable right of homosexual to be married, and the unfettered right of women to be able to choose to murder their own unborn babies, I imagine these people would have been treated little different than Clement Vallandigham - a copperhead Democrat that even the Confederacy despised. Most likely the simply have been ignored as prattling idiots with sympathies that lay with the South.
To be accurate, the suspension of the Writ of Habeas Corpus was not generally used to squelch principled dissent, but rather it was used to keep anti-war Democrats like Clement Vallandigham from intefering with recruitment programs. Though depicted by Democrats of his day as an ape (like Bush is referred to as a chimp), modern Democrats and Republicans see President Lincoln as one of America’s greatest presidents. I’m entirely convinced if the anti-war liberal ideologues living today were to have lived during the Civil War period, the North would have lost the war or prematurely sued for “peace” thus creating the two America that John “the Breck Girl” Edwards is so fond of railing against.

There is liberality within Scripture that bulls-in-the-China-closet faux-theologians like you can’t possibly understand.
In both the Peter and Romans verses I cited above, the prescription for understanding legitimate governments can be easily divined with those who have eyes to see and minds to understand with respect to legitimate powers of government. The Bible also preaches that if possible, slaves should be freed of their masters. And where the colonists found themselves during the pre-Revolutionary period, they had the means and the moral right as people of equal station to “declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”
The founding fathers saw themselves as slaves to the unlawful reproachments and indignities visited upon them by the Crown itself and the British Parliament WHO VIOLATED THEIR OWN LAW in order to further subjugate the American colonists to their unlawful tyranny.
Just read the litany of reason given in the text of the American Declaration of Independence. And after delivering no less than 27 reasons to “dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them”, the men of principle who understood the principles of Natural Law concluded this:
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
This wasn’t some random act of disobedience, this was a principled appeal to reason in hope of resolving the impasse as honorable gentlemen and mutual servants of God. You know the history, the Crown refused the entreaty and sought to use military force to further its unlawful depradations on the American colonists.
Capiche? Or is the nuance still too difficult for you? It’s not my fault you are either unwilling or incapable of understanding some very basic principles of liberty which are consistent with biblical teachings: “Be at peace … where possible.”

I see a lot of leftwingnuts use the tagline “Dissent is the highest form of patriotism.” I know it makes you feel better, but don’t you know better?
“Dissent Is The Highest Form Of Patriotism”-A Dumb Sentiment, And A Fake Jefferson Quote
There’s a very common-and very ridiculous-saying that holds that “dissent is the highest form of patriotism.” This has always been, quite obviously to any thinking person, total baloney.
The Ku Klux Klan are dissenters. Extremist black and chicano separatists are dissenters. Does that make their hateful idiocy the highest form of patriotism?

But you can bet the willing accomplices in the liberal media will try to carry that water as far as possible and further divide this country with their mendacious arrogance. However, it will be like Haman building the gallows to hang Mordecai. Going down this road during a time of war will only serve to further galvanize conservatives and principled independents who will be enraged by such rank partisan fumblings. It will be like pouring gasoline on fire. Remember, Haman (a metaphor for the seditious Democratic Party) was eventually hanged on the work of his own hand for his immoral political machinations.

Never content just to win; Democraps having to rub somebody’s nose in it, Nannabelle has drafted legislation making “cellulite concealment” a capital offense. It’s framed as emergency legislation, to take effect immediately. Definitely before the Democrap National Convention where she hopes to head off Hillary from evening attending. Fraught with meaning, that “head off”!
Some speculation that the move is inspired by recent events in Iraq where roast kid (not goatlette) is served to family gatherings. The parallel being that the Democraps are just one big happy family and, after all, there’d be plenty to go around at the pre-convention banquet.

Most of the rest disappeared after he spit fire from his mouth and nostrils , while roaring a deafening roar!
Astonished, Beelzebub noted that one of the flock remained behind in a rear pew. Angry he strode toward the old man who seemed a bit too unconcerned for such a spectacle.
“Don’t you know who I am”, he roared.
“Yep”, replied the old man, coolly.
“And you’re not afraid of me”?
“Nope”.
The Devil said, “You know I could fry you and everybody you know to a crisp in the blink of an eye, yet you are unafraid. How can that be? What makes you so tough”?

Isn’t it about time for LaffingSpew to hit on Mom for an allowance advance? Having dominated too many threads with middle school-worthy snarks and generally adding nothing to the discussion, he certainly owes Scott Ott a generous contribution to PayPal.
OTOH He could simply retreat to his room and pop a few zits. The result would be the same as what he offers here: bacteria-filled pus.

As an old man was leaving the church, he leaned over and said to the young pastor; that was a dang fine sermon you preached today.
Somewhat taken aback, the minister replied; don’t you think that language is a bit strong for church?
To which the old fellow loudly retorted. Well pastor, I thought that it was such a fine talk, I put a thousand dollars in the collection plate.
That’s great! The younger man said; it takes a heck of a lot of money to run a church!

The federal government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of a desert.
Congress said,”Someone may steal from it at night.” So they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job.
Then Congress said,”How does the watchman do his job without instruction?” So they created a planning department and hired two people, one person to write the instructions, and one person to do time studies.
Then Congress said, “How will we know the night watchman is doing the tasks correctly?” So they created a Quality Control department and hired two people.
Then Congress said, “How are these people going to get paid?” So they created the following positions, a time keeper, and a payroll officer, then hired two people.
Then Congress said, “Who will be accountable for all of these people?” So they created an administrative section and hired three people, an Administrative Officer, Assistant Administrative Officer, and a Legal Secretary.
Then Congress said,”We have had this new department in operation for one year and we are $18,000 over budget, we must cutback overall cost.”
So they laid off the night watchman.

Between 100,000 and 300,000 barrels a day of Iraq’s declared oil production over the past four years is unaccounted for and could have been siphoned off through corruption or smuggling, according to a draft U.S. government report.
Using an average of $50 a barrel, the report said the discrepancy was valued at $5 million to $15 million daily.
WASHINGTON (CNN) -Audit: U.S. lost track of $9 billion in Iraq funds (back in 2005 and referring to 2004)
Nearly $9 billion of money spent on Iraqi reconstruction is unaccounted for because of inefficiencies and bad management, according to a watchdog report published Sunday.
An inspector general’s report said the U.S.-led administration that ran Iraq until June 2004 is unable to account for the funds.
“Severe inefficiencies and poor management” by the Coalition Provisional Authority has left auditors with no guarantee the money was properly used,” the report said.

They’re making a lot of noise today about Al-Qaeda being reconstituted, a stronger than ever! They’re concerned bout a possible attack on the “homeland”.
That can’t be! Under the leadership of Dumbyah “We got ‘em on the run”. “They can run, but they can’t hide”.
There can’t be an attack. We been “fighting them there, so we won’t have to fight ‘em here.”

Obviously the neo-cons stole all that missing oil. We’re busted. I now confess Bush told Karl Rove to siphon off a 100,000 barrels/day of Iraqi oil to have it processed at a secret American refinery in order that well-connected conservatives only have to pay 25 cents/gallon with a special, super-secret debit card. I have one.
335 Darthmeister // Jul 12, 2007 at 7:16 am
The report is misleading about al Qaeda. It’s similar to the phenomena where some crime appear to go up when really its a matter of more crimes of that nature are being reported.
Despite what the report might say, no one actually knew the extent of al Qaeda when 9/11 happened. It’s already been demonstrated that the West’s intelligence agencies pretty much sucked when it came to Middle East intelligence. After six years we now have a better idea. Implicit in this media message of “more al Qaeda” is the fact that Islamic fundamentalism isn’t as benign as the leftists have been claiming these last six years.
Apparently there is a much larger reservoir of radical Islamists that any number of Muslim terrorist groups can tap into. It is Islam which radicalizes these people from the day they are born, not the alleged “sins” of the western world. Terrorist wannabees need no further motivation or provocation to engage in their Islamic jihad though they will attempt to justify their murderous actions by citing what they believe are indignities visited upon greater Islam - i.e. Great Satan America attacked innocent Iraq.
Also, though al Qaeda may still have numbers, they don’t have quality as evidence by the botched attempts in England. And there are any number of other botched attempts that haven’t been reported because if it doesn’t bleed it doesn’t lead in the liberal media. Online sources like jihadwatch.org will often document these failed attempts.
Though they can be just as deadly (they only have to get lucky every now and then), we’re seeing mostly al Qaeda B-team efforts - desperate efforts at that. Yet here we have the mindless cattle which populate the ranks of liberaldumb wanting to blame-Bush and blame-America’s military for the undeniable fact that Muslim jihadists are nothing more than ruthless, murderous bastards who will do what they do with absolutely no further “reason” than having been radicalized in a Muslim mosque or a madrassa by some radical cleric.
The real lesson in this report is, given the radical, self-righteous nature of our foe, sooner or later we or our children’s children are going to have to turn a few Muslim swamps producing these jihadists into a radioactive wasteland because this is an implacable foe and ideology that we’re dealing with. They won’t make nice with us, you can’t appease these kind of people. So wake up America!

As usual from you, a ton of words, not and once of sense.
Your language is as extreme as you ignorance, lack of mental stability, and the stupidity of your answers.
That explains the oil, but what about about the nine billion dollars? Do you think that money might have helped the folks in New Orleans some?
Doesn’t Michael Chertoff know who he reports to, doesn’t his boss know more than “proud” and “nice job Brownie”.

It occurred to me today that, at best, al Qaeda and their Islamofascist ilk are actually, really and truly, barbarians still living in the dark ages.
It’s like somebody “beamed” them here from afar.
While the “SG-1 Approach” should have been adopted at a much earlier point in time, it could still be implemented: If an alien acts friendly, then, become pals; else, if they are hostile, vaporize them; else, isolate them from the entire Universe. This is a tried and true method, considered by consensus to be far superior to the “Star Trek Approach” of yesteryear.

Your immediate response was not to provide reasonable counterpoints but rather to launch into more hate-filled, left-wing diatribes. You never disappoint us.

I already dealt with that. So the money gets diverted to New Orleans for Democratic officials to waste on their little fiefdoms so you can blame that on Chertoff and Bush, too, eh? William Jefferson (D-LA) is just the tip of the iceberg. Democrats have owned Louisiana big time for almost the last century. The Democrats are so warped and crooked in that state that they stupidly re-elected the incompetent Democrat mayor Ray “No Escaping New Orleans” Nagin. No wonder New Orleans is a basketcase and will continue to be as the rank-and-file Donks there continue to believe the lie that Democrat leadership will lead them to the promise land. Democratic Louisiana was way corrupt and wasteful before Katrina. Nothing has changed and the Democrats there will continue living in their squalor waiting for another handout.

Both parties have had their share of liars, adulterers, and politicians given to graft and corruption. But there is only one party that has useful idiots who 1) continue to re-elect a person (Ted Kennedy) directly responsible for the death of a young woman and waited nine hours to tell authorities and 2) continue to re-elect another person (Barney Fwank) whose CYA excuse was he didn’t know a gay prostitution ring was being run out of his basement. Pathetic.

Speaking of hypocrisy … from the Dallas News:
Nobel Peace Prize winner Betty Williams came from Ireland to Texas to declare that President Bush should be impeached.
In a keynote speech at the International Women’s Peace Conference on Wednesday night, Ms. Williams told a crowd of about 1,000 that the Bush administration has been treacherous and wrong and acted unconstitutionally.
“Right now, I could kill George Bush,” she said at the Adam’s Mark Hotel and Conference Center in Dallas. “No, I don’t mean that. How could you nonviolently kill somebody? I would love to be able to do that.”
About half the crowd gave her a standing ovation after she called for Mr. Bush’s removal from power.
Yep, that’s someone on your side of the aisle, Lying@You, and the freakin’ anti-war moonbats in the audience gave her a standing O! Despite her attempt at a quick recovery, she meant exactly what she first said. Sickening hypocritical thugs.
343 Darthmeister // Jul 12, 2007 at 1:05 pm
One sided? Buwahahahaha! When your Democratic libtard heros in Congress engage in immoral and lawless behavior, it’s considered a resumé enhancement. Given the seriousness of the charges already levied against Diane Feinstein, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid for influence peddling and conflict of interest, and given that your Democratically-controlled Congress and often Democrat State and District Attorneys haven’t spent one second looking into these very serious crimes, that says a lot about why you don’t see their lies, graft and corruption on the front page of newspapers and lead stories on the evening news day after day after day. Why else do people like Barney Fwank and Ted Kennedy keep getting elected except for the fact that how they were able to lie and bamboozle their way out of their crimes is considered a resumé enhancer among Democratic voters, the “oh so sensitive and compassionate” Democratic voters.

Unfortunatly, I am at work and have only a moment to respond to some of the lunacy going on here. My appologies, but I have had to be away for a week. I realise that breaks the hearts of many, but it was unavoidable.
I feel compelled to comment on a few points though. In particular, the idea of ‘liberals POSING as Christians’. I may not have the time at the moment to search out the particulars, but I do recall reading somewhere that we would know the true nature of a person by the ‘fruit’ that they bore. This is a biblical reference, for those who weren’t aware, and it refers to the Lord’s advice on how we would know whether someone professing a love of Christ were true to his word, or peddling the Word for profit. (ie the SBC, CBN, the association of evangelicals and on and on and on.) If what your assumption is that people that choose to believe the actual Word, studied in the spirit and verified through observation and prayer, are not ‘Christians.’ Or that because they don’t come to the same conclusions as the Dallas Theological Seminary (ie. Lehay, Robertson, Falwell, and the like) who preach obvious lies determined to fleece the very flock they claim to shepard we are somehow inferior, or misguided. Let me remind you that the Word is very specific about the apostasy that will precede the coming of our Lord. And that the Great Whore (organized religion based on prejudice and false doctrine) is where the devestation of this world will come. God’s judgement will come (mostly) in the form of act of evil, brought by those we have blindly followed into lies. ALL of you who are waiting to be ‘poofed’ out of your clothes so that you can watch us ‘heathens’ burn from the safety of your front row seat in heaven are in for a huge suprise. I don’t claim to know the day, but the Bible does give us insight into the ’season,’ and God bless us, we are in that season now. Take an honest look around out, Dart, Possum, the rest of you who think I am a ‘liberal’ because I dont bow down and worship at the altar of GWB or the Republican party….or even the Southern Baptist Convention. My knee will bow with yours in the face of our True Savior. And whether the petty little issues we are fed to argue over (climate change, abortion, gay rights, left, right, democrat, republican……) it is all dust. As are we.
Being a card-carrying Republican, NRA member with a nice church and a two car garage won’t mean spit when the time comes. Your stock portfolios and your lofty ‘principles’ are but ash in the wind. The ONLY RELEVENT question is what are you doing to further the kingdom of God? I realise now that trying to bring some sense to the lost I find here is useless, and maybe I will just stop posting all together. (as the crowd cheers) But maybe, just maybe, there are one or two who would like to know what is really important in this time. I invite you to email me personally, if you are out there. But please, even if you hate me and my message don’t flood my mailbox with garbage, send that stuff to Rush, He loves to hear it!
