Over the Line

Jeff at Protein Wisdom has been threatened, correction, his 2 year old child has been threatened by a University of Arizona professor.

Yes, this is old news (2-3 days old)

Blackfive, Michelle Malkin, and others have all the details.

It is okay to disagree, in fact a good healthy, polite debate, would be good for our nation. Ideas politely exchanged..

It is understandable that oftentimes, people don't want to debate, they just want to disagree. okay, keep it polite.

There are folks, who want to argue, who use profanity.....okay, but you will not change minds or win hearts.

Throwing insults at other bloggers, reliving our school yard days...cheap fun, but childish.

Making threats, is against the law.

Threatening innocent children, not only is this against the law, it is sick, disgusting.

I will stand and defend the innocent children, whether I agree with their parents or not.

If you disagree with another blogger, engage them in debate, challenge their words....
DON'T THREATEN THEIR CHILDREN.

Prisoner swap?

Top Israeli official hints at releasing some Palestinians prisoners.

This is not as bad as it sounds.

It was not immediately clear whether public security minister Avi Dichter was speaking for the government or expressing a personal opinion.

If militants release Cpt. Gilad Shalit and stop rocket attacks from Gaza, "Israel will need to, after some time, release prisoners as a reciprocal gesture," Dichter said in a speech to Israeli business people. "Israel knows how to do this. Israel has done this more than once in the past."

Release the Israeli, stop the rockets attacks, Then and only then, we will release some of yours.....okay, the Israeli prisons must be getting crowded anyway.

more good news

Dichter also said Shalit is alive.

Hamas signaled it was prepared to strike a deal.

World Cup Final

Based on their military history, this match is a tough call.

Will the French surrender,
before or after,
the Italians switch sides?

If the Italians switch sides before the French surrender, do both teams lose?
If the Italians switch sides after the French surrender, does that mean the French won?

or more politically incorrectly:

Will the Frogs leap over the Wops?
or
Will the Wops wollop the Frogs?

UPDATE

The Italians won on penalty kicks....do wop wop.....
The French surrendered their captain on stupidity...a head butt well after the play...truly a stupid way to end a career...

A great thing happenned on July 6, 1854, the first official meeting of the Republican Party took place in Jackson, Mich.

Tis a great day in history!

Today's the day to Celebrate Freedom

Today is the day to celebrate Freedom..

But Israel is not free from fear of Palestinian attack.

But China does allow free speech, nor does Europe with the many EU restrictions on speech.

Many people of the world are not free from want, they are hungry and suffering while their leaders are bloated and fat.

Islamic nations do not allow freedom of religion, Islam is the only religion with the death penalty for converting from it.

The US Military and the British Military are fighting to extend freedom to Iraq.
NATO is fighting to support the free government of Afganistan.

To volunteer to risk your life,
so that a total stranger,
who doesn't speak the same langauge,
Whose culture is very different,
can be free to choose their own path in life......
That is what our soldiers have done.
G-d bless Them

This Ongoing War: 3-Jul-06: Marketing Suicide to Children

Marketing Suicide to Children

Child abuse Palestinian style.

More Troubles for Hero

from the AJC.com

Thomas Autry who fought off several attackers in May. Is still fighting the this criminal gang.

He testified Monday that he was surrounded recently outside his apartment by as many as eight teens who were upset that Autry fought back Memorial Day and called police after he was allegedly attacked by at least one of their friends.

.........

During the Memorial Day attack, Autry was pummeled in the chest with brass knuckles and threatened with a handgun and a shotgun. Autry said he pulled out a small knife to fight back, killing suspect Amy Elizabeth Martin, 17, and injuring Daniel.

During the scuffle, Autry said he heard one of the guns that was pointed at him misfire.

Stupid Headline

Navy Ordered To Stop Using Radar That May Harm Whales

LOS ANGELES -- A federal judge temporarily barred the Navy on Monday from using a type of sonar that may harm whales and other marine mammals.

Okay, the local tv station does not know the difference between Radar and Sonar.

The AP has it right, sonar may bother whales.

Radar can only affect whales when they are out of water.

The Gettysburg Address

Nov. 19, 1863

Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of it, as a final resting place for those who died here, that the nation might live. This we may, in all propriety do. But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow, this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have hallowed it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here; while it can never forget what they did here.

It is rather for us the living, we here be dedicated to the great task remaining before us--that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion--that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth."

Abraham Lincoln

*************

I added the emphasis.

"a new nation, conceived in liberty"----America 1776, Iraq 2003

"that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain" ---- These words spoken by a Republican President, determined to preserve this nation, dedicated to freedom for slaves. These words are good advice to the current Republican President for Iraqi Policy.


"that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom"----Iraq has given the Islamic world a birth of freedom.

"and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth."-----Democracy has been on the march since 1776..But it is under a serious threat from Islamic Militants who want to impose strict Islamic Law on the entire world.

The Free World must wake up and stop this threat to human freedom and progress.
Do we want the world to return to 7th century law and customs? I don't.

July 4th, 1776

In 1776, the Colonies in America, told a tyrant, King George III of Engalnd, to "leave US alone". After a long war against the most powerful military of the day, The colonies received timely help from the King of France.
A few years later, in 1789, the people of France tossed their King aside, and started the first Republic, today the fifth Republic of France opposes the efforts of the USA to bring freedom from tyrants;
and Queen Elizabeth II of England and her Prime Minister Tony Blair are the strongest allies in bringing freedom to the world.

How the times have changed!
