Kennedy

Over the weekend, Senator Kennedy was taken to the hospital. The Senator had suffered a seizure. Apparently, Senator Kennedy will recover. Good for him.

On Saturday, CNN was all torn up over the fact the family had thought he had suffered a stroke, so they called 911 [which is precisely what they should do]. The EMT's arrived and took him to the Cape Cod Hospital. He was then flown to Mass. General Hospital in Boston.
The family later released a statement that he had had a seizure.
CNN was focused on 'Why did the family think it was a stroke when it was a seizure?' CNN even asked a doctor to explain the family's mistake......WHAT A GHOULISH WAY TO REPORT THIS STORY.

Some folks spent Saturday, hoping this was the end for Senator Kennedy.
I am 100% opposed to his politics but will not wish him ill. I wish he would retire from politics.
Wishing him ill, only makes him and by extension all liberals victims of 'rightwing hate'.
Simply ignore the story, if you wish him ill, wait until we know whether this is a grave illness or not before attacking a man while he is down.

No matter what you think of his politics,
Senator Kennedy is a human being, he is not sub-human, no person is sub-human.
Never treat any person as 'sub-human'. It does not matter what their religion, politics, or job.

President Bush Addresses the Israeli Knesset

[I added the emphasis on the most important lines.]

May 15th, 2008

President Peres and Mr. Prime Minister, Madam Speaker, thank very much for hosting this special session. President Beinish, Leader of the Opposition Netanyahu, Ministers, members of the Knesset, distinguished guests: Shalom. Laura and I are thrilled to be back in Israel. We have been deeply moved by the celebrations of the past two days. And this afternoon, I am honored to stand before one of the world's great democratic assemblies and convey the wishes of the American people with these words: Yom Ha'atzmaut Sameach.

It is a rare privilege for the American President to speak to the Knesset. Although the Prime Minister told me there is something even rarer -- to have just one person in this chamber speaking at a time. My only regret is that one of Israel's greatest leaders is not here to share this moment. He is a warrior for the ages, a man of peace, a friend. The prayers of the American people are with Ariel Sharon.

We gather to mark a momentous occasion. Sixty years ago in Tel Aviv, David Ben-Gurion proclaimed Israel's independence, founded on the "natural right of the Jewish people to be masters of their own fate." What followed was more than the establishment of a new country. It was the redemption of an ancient promise given to Abraham and Moses and David -- a homeland for the chosen people Eretz Yisrael.

Eleven minutes later, on the orders of President Harry Truman, the United States was proud to be the first nation to recognize Israel's independence. And on this landmark anniversary, America is proud to be Israel's closest ally and best friend in the world.

The alliance between our governments is unbreakable, yet the source of our friendship runs deeper than any treaty. It is grounded in the shared spirit of our people, the bonds of the Book, the ties of the soul. When William Bradford stepped off the Mayflower in 1620, he quoted the words of Jeremiah: "Come let us declare in Zion the word of God." The founders of my country saw a new promised land and bestowed upon their towns names like Bethlehem and New Canaan. And in time, many Americans became passionate advocates for a Jewish state.

Centuries of suffering and sacrifice would pass before the dream was fulfilled. The Jewish people endured the agony of the pogroms, the tragedy of the Great War, and the horror of the Holocaust -- what Elie Wiesel called "the kingdom of the night." Soulless men took away lives and broke apart families. Yet they could not take away the spirit of the Jewish people, and they could not break the promise of God. When news of Israel's freedom finally arrived, Golda Meir, a fearless woman raised in Wisconsin, could summon only tears. She later said: "For two thousand years we have waited for our deliverance. Now that it is here it is so great and wonderful that it surpasses human words."

The joy of independence was tempered by the outbreak of battle, a struggle that has continued for six decades. Yet in spite of the violence, in defiance of the threats, Israel has built a thriving democracy in the heart of the Holy Land. You have welcomed immigrants from the four corners of the Earth. You have forged a free and modern society based on the love of liberty, a passion for justice, and a respect for human dignity. You have worked tirelessly for peace. You have fought valiantly for freedom.

My country's admiration for Israel does not end there. When Americans look at Israel, we see a pioneer spirit that worked an agricultural miracle and now leads a high-tech revolution. We see world-class universities and a global leader in business and innovation and the arts. We see a resource more valuable than oil or gold: the talent and determination of a free people who refuse to let any obstacle stand in the way of their destiny.

I have been fortunate to see the character of Israel up close. I have touched the Western Wall, seen the sun reflected in the Sea of Galilee, I have prayed at Yad Vashem. And earlier today, I visited Masada, an inspiring monument to courage and sacrifice. At this historic site, Israeli soldiers swear an oath: "Masada shall never fall again." Citizens of Israel: Masada shall never fall again, and America will be at your side.

This anniversary is a time to reflect on the past. It's also an opportunity to look to the future. As we go forward, our alliance will be guided by clear principles -- shared convictions rooted in moral clarity and unswayed by popularity polls or the shifting opinions of international elites.

We believe in the matchless value of every man, woman, and child. So we insist that the people of Israel have the right to a decent, normal, and peaceful life, just like the citizens of every other nation.

We believe that democracy is the only way to ensure human rights. So we consider it a source of shame that the United Nations routinely passes more human rights resolutions against the freest democracy in the Middle East than any other nation in the world.

We believe that religious liberty is fundamental to a civilized society. So we condemn anti-Semitism in all forms -- whether by those who openly question Israel's right to exist, or by others who quietly excuse them.

We believe that free people should strive and sacrifice for peace. So we applaud the courageous choices Israeli's leaders have made. We also believe that nations have a right to defend themselves and that no nation should ever be forced to negotiate with killers pledged to its destruction.

We believe that targeting innocent lives to achieve political objectives is always and everywhere wrong. So we stand together against terror and extremism, and we will never let down our guard or lose our resolve.

The fight against terror and extremism is the defining challenge of our time. It is more than a clash of arms. It is a clash of visions, a great ideological struggle. On the one side are those who defend the ideals of justice and dignity with the power of reason and truth. On the other side are those who pursue a narrow vision of cruelty and control by committing murder, inciting fear, and spreading lies.

This struggle is waged with the technology of the 21st century, but at its core it is an ancient battle between good and evil. The killers claim the mantle of Islam, but they are not religious men. No one who prays to the God of Abraham could strap a suicide vest to an innocent child, or blow up guiltless guests at a Passover Seder, or fly planes into office buildings filled with unsuspecting workers. In truth, the men who carry out these savage acts serve no higher goal than their own desire for power. They accept no God before themselves. And they reserve a special hatred for the most ardent defenders of liberty, including Americans and Israelis.

And that is why the founding charter of Hamas calls for the "elimination" of Israel. And that is why the followers of Hezbollah chant "Death to Israel, Death to America!" That is why Osama bin Laden teaches that "the killing of Jews and Americans is one of the biggest duties." And that is why the President of Iran dreams of returning the Middle East to the Middle Ages and calls for Israel to be wiped off the map.

There are good and decent people who cannot fathom the darkness in these men and try to explain away their words. It's natural, but it is deadly wrong. As witnesses to evil in the past, we carry a solemn responsibility to take these words seriously. Jews and Americans have seen the consequences of disregarding the words of leaders who espouse hatred. And that is a mistake the world must not repeat in the 21st century.

Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along. We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: "Lord, if I could only have talked to Hitler, all this might have been avoided." We have an obligation to call this what it is -- the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history.

Some people suggest if the United States would just break ties with Israel, all our problems in the Middle East would go away. This is a tired argument that buys into the propaganda of the enemies of peace, and America utterly rejects it. Israel's population may be just over 7 million. But when you confront terror and evil, you are 307 million strong, because the United States of America stands with you.

America stands with you in breaking up terrorist networks and denying the extremists sanctuary. America stands with you in firmly opposing Iran's nuclear weapons ambitions. Permitting the world's leading sponsor of terror to possess the world's deadliest weapons would be an unforgivable betrayal for future generations. For the sake of peace, the world must not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon.

Ultimately, to prevail in this struggle, we must offer an alternative to the ideology of the extremists by extending our vision of justice and tolerance and freedom and hope. These values are the self-evident right of all people, of all religions, in all the world because they are a gift from the Almighty God. Securing these rights is also the surest way to secure peace. Leaders who are accountable to their people will not pursue endless confrontation and bloodshed. Young people with a place in their society and a voice in their future are less likely to search for meaning in radicalism. Societies where citizens can express their conscience and worship their God will not export violence, they will be partners in peace.

The fundamental insight, that freedom yields peace, is the great lesson of the 20th century. Now our task is to apply it to the 21st. Nowhere is this work more urgent than here in the Middle East. We must stand with the reformers working to break the old patterns of tyranny and despair. We must give voice to millions of ordinary people who dream of a better life in a free society. We must confront the moral relativism that views all forms of government as equally acceptable and thereby consigns whole societies to slavery. Above all, we must have faith in our values and ourselves and confidently pursue the expansion of liberty as the path to a peaceful future.

That future will be a dramatic departure from the Middle East of today. So as we mark 60 years from Israel's founding, let us try to envision the region 60 years from now. This vision is not going to arrive easily or overnight; it will encounter violent resistance. But if we and future Presidents and future Knessets maintain our resolve and have faith in our ideals, here is the Middle East that we can see:

Israel will be celebrating the 120th anniversary as one of the world's great democracies, a secure and flourishing homeland for the Jewish people. The Palestinian people will have the homeland they have long dreamed of and deserved -- a democratic state that is governed by law, and respects human rights, and rejects terror. From Cairo to Riyadh to Baghdad and Beirut, people will live in free and independent societies, where a desire for peace is reinforced by ties of diplomacy and tourism and trade. Iran and Syria will be peaceful nations, with today's oppression a distant memory and where people are free to speak their minds and develop their God-given talents. Al Qaeda and Hezbollah and Hamas will be defeated, as Muslims across the region recognize the emptiness of the terrorists' vision and the injustice of their cause.

Overall, the Middle East will be characterized by a new period of tolerance and integration. And this doesn't mean that Israel and its neighbors will be best of friends. But when leaders across the region answer to their people, they will focus their energies on schools and jobs, not on rocket attacks and suicide bombings. With this change, Israel will open a new hopeful chapter in which its people can live a normal life, and the dream of Herzl and the founders of 1948 can be fully and finally realized.

This is a bold vision, and some will say it can never be achieved. But think about what we have witnessed in our own time. When Europe was destroying itself through total war and genocide, it was difficult to envision a continent that six decades later would be free and at peace. When Japanese pilots were flying suicide missions into American battleships, it seemed impossible that six decades later Japan would be a democracy, a lynchpin of security in Asia, and one of America's closest friends. And when waves of refugees arrived here in the desert with nothing, surrounded by hostile armies, it was almost unimaginable that Israel would grow into one of the freest and most successful nations on the earth.

Yet each one of these transformations took place. And a future of transformation is possible in the Middle East, so long as a new generation of leaders has the courage to defeat the enemies of freedom, to make the hard choices necessary for peace, and stand firm on the solid rock of universal values.

Sixty years ago, on the eve of Israel's independence, the last British soldiers departing Jerusalem stopped at a building in the Jewish quarter of the Old City. An officer knocked on the door and met a senior rabbi. The officer presented him with a short iron bar -- the key to the Zion Gate -- and said it was the first time in 18 centuries that a key to the gates of Jerusalem had belonged to a Jew. His hands trembling, the rabbi offered a prayer of thanksgiving to God, "Who had granted us life and permitted us to reach this day." Then he turned to the officer, and uttered the words Jews had awaited for so long: "I accept this key in the name of my people."

Over the past six decades, the Jewish people have established a state that would make that humble rabbi proud. You have raised a modern society in the Promised Land, a light unto the nations that preserves the legacy of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob. And you have built a mighty democracy that will endure forever and can always count on the United States of America to be at your side. God bless.

Obama and Appeasement

”Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along,” the President said to the country’s legislative body, “We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: ‘Lord, if only I could have talked to Hitler, all of this might have been avoided.’ We have an obligation to call this what it is –- the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history.”
Geo. W. Bush, 5/15/08

Barack Hussein Obama wants to have talks with Iran, without preconditions.
Sen. Obama wants to appease terrorists and their sponsors.

President Bush has nailed him and the surrender first Democrats (Pelosi, Reid).

Moslems want to kill.
Islam is the religion of death.
Islam praises those who kill innocent men, women and children.
Moslems attack shopping centers, they do not care who they kill as long as they kill somebody.

New Camera

Just bought a Kodak V1003 Digital Camera--The model is about a year old, but grabbed it on clearance. 10 MegaPixels really makes for a sharp image. Took some test shots on the railroad tracks.

Democrats

Well, the Democrat Nomination Derby is over, the fat lady in the pantsuit is singing the blues.

A narrow win in Indiana vs a big loss in North Carolina, the filly loses the derby.

The only question that remains is: Will the party shoot the filly or will the filly shoot the party?

Senator Clinton's only chance now is getting the Michigan (oops, I forgot to remove my name.) and Florida (oops, CNN ran that ad nationally.) delegates seated at the convention.

Because the media will return to ignoring Senator Barack Hussein Obama's ties to Islam -- oops I mean his ties to the Muslim-- oops, I meant former Muslim, Rev. Wright.

So, the Democrats have chosen an inexperienced candidate who Hamas wants elected President.

But, then their other choice was an inexperienced candidate who is married to an impeached and disbarred former President.

Question: Will America be better off with a lawyer as President or with a former Naval Officer, who refused special treatment from his captors and endured torture instead?

Me, I'll take the former Naval Officer, who is a liberal Republican vs a lawyer.

Sailors Creed

from Lex

I am a United States Sailor, and a Warrior first. I fight under the Red, White and Blue of my Fathers and descend from the line of Jones, Decatur and Perry. In my ears rings “I have not yet begun to fight” and “Don’t give up the ship”, and in my veins flows Fire and Gunpowder.

I will master my profession and demand that my fellow Sailors master theirs. I will follow when led, and lead when able. I will place nothing above the welfare of my fellow Sailors, save my Mission, and no matter what my ship, squadron, station or watch, I will help deliver Defeat to the Enemy.

With Honor in my deeds, Courage in my heart, and Commitment in my hands, I will do my duty until Victory is in hand and Liberty is secure.

Blah, blah, blah

"Damn the torpedoes, Full Speed Ahead!"

Is more to the point.

3rd ID exceeds reenlistment goals

3rd ID completes re-up goal in unprecedented time

The 3rd Infantry Division, headquartered at Fort Stewart, Ga.,
completed its fiscal year 2008 retention goal in less than six months,
which most view as a phenomenal act.

This is unprecedented according to the division’s retention sergeant
major. “I’ve been in this career field for 16 years, and I’ve never
known of a division to meet its goal in such a short time,” said Sgt.
Maj. Kelvin Raibon, the 3rd Infantry Division Retention sergeant major.

This is the division’s third deployment to Iraq since 2003, but its
high operational tempo did not stop 4,000 Soldiers from re-enlisting.
Even more troops will follow their lead, and by the end of March one
battalion with the 3rd Heavy Brigade Combat Team, out of Fort Benning,
Ga., will have met its retention goal twice.

The 1st Battalion, 15th Infantry Regiment is four Soldiers away from retaining 200 percent of its goal.

These Soldiers are working together to defend their nation. This is
why they joined and why they re-enlisted, said Sgt. 1st Class Thomas
Olson, 3rd HBCT senior career counselor.

The 3rd Infantry Division, which is currently the headquarters for
Multi-National Division – Center in southwest Baghdad, arrived in
theater as part of the Surge. Its Soldiers are serving a 15-month
deployment with the combat mission to stop insurgents from bringing
bomb-making materials into Baghdad. Within the year, Soldiers have
secured most areas, and have begun working closely with the Iraqi
Security Forces and tribal leaders to build the economy and make life
better for its citizens.

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

Our soldiers in Iraq know they are making a difference -- and they want to continue to be a positive force in the world.

Religion of Peace, my arse V---UPDATED

UPDATE: 3/31/08 - LiveLeak.com has restored "Fitna". LiveLeak is the best hosting service on the web.

statement posted on Liveleak.com concerning the movie "Fitna"

Following threats to our staff of a very serious
nature, and some ill informed reports from certain corners of the
British media that could directly lead to the harm of some of our
staff, Liveleak.com has been left with no other choice but to remove
Fitna from our servers.
This is a sad day for freedom of speech
on the net but we have to place the safety and well being of our staff
above all else. We would like to thank the thousands of people, from
all backgrounds and religions, who gave us their support. They realised
LiveLeak.com is a vehicle for many opinions and not just for the
support of one.

Perhaps there is still hope that this situation may produce a
discussion that could benefit and educate all of us as to how we can
accept one anothers culture.


We stood for what we believe in, the ability to be heard, but in the end the price was too high.

Challenge to Conservatives

An Election challenge for conservatives, designed to show why voting in November is important even if you can not vote for John McCain.

Name your US Senators:
Mine are Chambliss and Isakson.

If a one of your Senators is up for re-election, Will you vote for them and Why? Name the challenger if you will not vote to re-elect your Senator.
Senator Chambliss is up for re-election. I will vote for him because he is a solid Republican Senator, opposed to amnesty for illegals, strong on defense.

Name your Congressman (or Congresswoman):
Mine is Tom Price.

Will you vote to return him (her) to Congress, Why or Why not?
Yes, I want to return Tom Price to Congress. He is a solid conservative Republican.

Remember there are more offices besides the Oval Office to be filled in November.
Please tell your readers to vote in November. The down ballot offices are important.

All three of the Presidential candidates favor open borders, our only hope is blocking them in the House of Representatives.

The new President will likely appoint one maybe two new Supreme Court Justices (Stevens and Ginsberg are old). We must keep enough Senators (at least 40) to be able to moderate these lifetime appointments.

Our only hope for blocking tax increases is in the House of Representatives and with 40 Senators to filibuster the increases, remember the 'Bush Tax Cuts' expire in 2010.

An Open Leter to the Democratic Party

By Lt. Colonel Frances Rice,U.S. Army Retired:

"We, African American citizens of the United States, declare and assert:

Whereas
in the early 1600's 20 African men and women were landed in Virginia
from a Dutch ship as slaves and from that tiny seed grew the poisoned
fruit of plantation slavery which shaped the course of American
development,

Whereas reconciliation and healing always begin with an apology and an effort to repay those who have been wronged,

Whereas
the Democratic Party has never apologized for their horrific atrocities
and racist practices committed against African Americans during the
past two hundred years, nor for the residual impact that those
atrocities and practices and current soft bigotry of low expectations
are having on us today,

Whereas the Democratic Party fought to
expand slavery and, after the Civil War, established Jim Crow Laws,
Black Codes and other repressive legislation that were designed to
disenfranchise African Americans,

Whereas the Ku Klux Klan was
the terrorist arm of the Democratic Party, and their primary goal was
to intimidate and terrorize African American voters, Republicans who
moved South to protect African Americans and any other whites who
supported them,

Whereas, according to leading historians (both
black and white), the horrific atrocities committed against African
Americans during slavery and Reconstruction were financed, sponsored,
and promoted by the Democratic Party and their Ku Klux Klan supporters,


Whereas from 1870 to 1930, in an effort to deny African
Americans their civil rights and to keep African Americans from voting
Republican, thousands of African Americans were shot, beaten, lynched,
mutilated, and burned to death by Ku Klux Klan terrorists from the
Democratic Party,

Whereas Democratic Presidents Franklin D.
Roosevelt and Harry Truman rejected anti-lynching laws and efforts to
establish a permanent Civil Rights Commission,

Whereas the
Democratic party has used racist demagoguery to deceive African
Americans about the history of the Republican Party that:
(a) started
as the anti-slavery party in 1854,
(b) fought to free African Americans
from slavery,
(c) designed Reconstruction, a ten-year period of
unprecedented political power for African Americans,
(d) passed the
Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments to the U. S.
Constitution granting African Americans freedom, citizenship, and the
right to vote,
(e) passed the Civil Rights Acts of 1866 and 1875
granting African Americans protection from the Black Codes and
prohibiting racial discrimination in public accommodations,
(f) passed
the Civil Rights Act of 1957 and the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1965
granting African Americans protection from the Jim Crow laws,
(g)
established Affirmative Action programs to help African Americans
proper with Republican President Richard Nixon's 1969 Philadelphia Plan
that set the first goals and timetables and his 1972 Equal Employment
Opportunity Act that made Affirmative Action Programs the law of our
nation, and
(h) never sponsored or launched a program, passed laws, or
engaged in practices that resulted in the death of millions of African
Americans,

Whereas Brown vs. the Board of Education of Topeka
(a 1954 decision by Chief Justice Earl Warren who was appointed by
Republican President Dwight Eisenhower) was a landmark civil rights
case that was designed to overturn the racist practices that were
established by the Democratic Party,

Whereas after Democratic
President Franklin D. Roosevelt received the vote of African Americans,
he banned African American newspapers from the military shortly after
taking office because he was convinced the newspapers were communists,

Whereas
Democratic President John F. Kennedy voted against the 1957 Civil
Rights Law, opposed the 1963 March on Washington by Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr., and was later criticized by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. for
ignoring civil rights issues.

Whereas Democratic President
John F. Kennedy authorized the FBI (supervised by his brother, Attorney
General Robert Kennedy) to investigate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on
suspicion of being a communist,

Whereas Democratic Senator
Robert Byrd of West Virginia, a former member of the Ku Klux Klan, made
a 14-hour filibuster speech in the Senate in June 1964 in an
unsuccessful effort to block passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and
was heralded in April 2004 by Democratic Senator Christopher Dodd as a
senator who would have been a great leader during the Civil War,

Whereas
when the 1964 Civil Rights Act came up for vote, Senator Al Gore, Sr.
and the rest of the Southern Democrats voted against the bill,

Whereas
in the House of Representatives only 61 percent of the Democrats voted
for the 1964 Civil Rights Act as compared to 80 percent of Republicans,
and in the Senate only 69 percent of the Democrats voted for the 1964
Civil Rights Act, compared to 82 percent of the Republicans,

Whereas
Democratic President Bill Clinton sent troops to Europe to protect the
citizens of Bosnia and Kosovo while allowing an estimated 800,000 black
Rwandans to be massacred in Africa, vetoed the welfare reform law twice
before signing it, and refused to comply with a court order to have
shipping companies develop an Affirmative Action Plan,

Whereas
Democratic presidential candidate Al Gore created harmful racial
division when he falsely claimed that the 2000 presidential election
was "stolen" from him and that African Americans in Florida were
disenfranchised, even though a second recount of Florida votes by the
"Miami Herald" and a consortium of major news organizations confirmed
that he lost the election, and a ruling by the U.S. Civil Rights
Commission declared that African Americans were not denied the right to
vote,

Whereas the Democratic Party's soft bigotry of low
expectations and social promotions have consigned African Americans to
economic bondage and created a culture of dependency on government
social programs,

Whereas the Democratic Party's use of
deception and fear to block welfare reform, the faith-based initiative
and school choice that would help African Americans prosper is
consistent with the Democratic Party's heritage of racism that included
sanctioning of slavery and kukluxery, a perversion of moral sentiment
among leaders of the Democratic Party whose racist legacy bode ill
until this generation of African Americans,

Now, therefore,
for the above and other documented atrocities and accumulated wrongs
inflicted upon African Americans, we demand a formal written apology
and other appropriate remuneration from the leadership of the
Democratic party.

DemoRATS

Let's see, we have two contenders in the DemoRAT primary.

Barack Hussein Obama, Who has attended and funded, a so-called Christian church which preaches hatred and supports the Hamas terrorists. He is a racist who assumes he knows what the 'the typical white person' (aka whitey) thinks.

Hillary Rodham Clinton is a habitual liar (Bosnia, Northern Ireland, White House Diplomatic Experience, etc), who has taught her daughter to lie. Plus, she has had trouble raising funds since her Chinese fund raisers are in jail. She is a cold calculating liar, who will say or do anything to get elected.

Muslim Wal-Mart in Dearbon, MI

This is a good idea except for the price-fixing agreement....

Wal-Mart has never before agreed to keep their prices HIGHER than the existing competition.

Wal-Mart was founded as a Christian business.

ALL Wal-Marts are closed on Christmas and Easter (and the employees do not receive holiday pay for Easter.)

********

Managers say they seek peace with the neighborhood's merchants -- and vow not to undercut them on Middle Eastern specialties. But
some experts and observers say Wal-Mart's well-planned launch in
Dearborn is bound to shake up the buying and selling in a community
that has long supported its own. Southeastern Michigan is home to an
estimated 300,000 people who trace their roots to the Middle East.

"I have not heard of anything this tailored. It's inspiring
to me as a shareholder," said Patricia Edwards, portfolio manager and
retail analyst in the Seattle office of San Francisco-based investment
manager Wentworth, Hauser & Violich, which has 537,000 shares of
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. stock.

The Dearborn store also sells Arabic music and plans to
offer Muslim greeting cards. But the modifications go beyond
merchandise: It has 35 employees who speak Arabic -- noted in Arabic
script on their badges. The store also has hired a local Arab-American
educator to teach the staff cultural sensitivity.

********

Tailoring the products to the local taste - is smart business.

Hiring employees who speak the languages used in the area - is smart business.

Being sensitive to other cultures - is smart business.

Agreeing to protect other businesses by charging higher prices - is against Wal-Mart policy and is possibly illegal. (WAL-MART -- Save Money. Live Better)

Tacoma War Protest

The Anti crowd planned to shut down the a shopping mall in Tacoma, WA -- They failed.
There were 50-75 anti's facing 150-200 Eagles (including 50 Patriot Guard Riders)

From KOMO TV

And this was from a one of the comments sent in about what happened in Tacoma:

" I was with the Support the Troops people today. What a
pathetic turnout the anti-military protesters had. They at best had 50
people, all college age punks, probably from Evergreen State Col the
most liberal campus on the west coast. The Support the Troops side had
at least 3 or 4 times their number, including about 25-30 of the
coolest leather clad bikers I ever saw. At The mall it was business as
usual, full of shoppers stimulating the economy with their hard earned
dollars. If the protesters goal was to interrupt commerce, they failed
miserably. They also failed to shut down the recruiting office. The
office they were in front of was closed anyway. The Army recruiter
around the corner of the building was open for business, and even gave
out donuts and coffee for the Support the Troops people. And for the
military being ordered to stay away? No Way! There were many many young
men walking around with military haircuts, many of who walked over and
thanked us for what we were doing, several even staying with us. Many
more of their families honked as they drove by our line of flags. And
the Police did a fantastic job keeping the ant-war goons confined to a
small area near the recruiting station, making sure they could not
block access to the opened office or cross onto Mall property. My
message the anti-military punks is this: Tacoma is a Military town, and
damn proud of them. Go protest some place else you losers.
Be sure to watch the King5 video on the link. The news did a fair job,
except when they said there was no real difference between the two
groups - That was BS. Few of them looked like normal decent people.
Many went for the anarchist look, with scarves over their faces and

Geert Wilder's speech to Holland's Parliament

"Madam
Speaker, allow me, first, to express my sincere thanks to you
personally for having planned a debate on Islam on the very day of my
birthday. I could not have wished for a nicer present! Madam Speaker,
approximately 1400 years ago war was declared on us by an ideology of
hate and violence which arose at the time and was proclaimed by a
barbarian who called himself the Prophet Mohammed.

I am referring to Islam.

Madam
Speaker, let me start with the foundation of the Islamic faith, the
Koran. The Koran's core theme is about the duty of all Muslims to fight
non-Muslims; an Islamic Mein Kampf, in which fight means war, jihad.
The Koran is above all a book of war, a call to butcher non-Muslims
(2:191, 3:141, 4:91, 5:3), to roast them (4:56, 69:30-69:32), and to
cause bloodbaths amongst them (47:4). Jews are compared to monkeys and
pigs (2:65, 5:60, 7:166), while people who believe in Jesus Christ as
the Son of God must according to the Koran be fought (9:30).

Madam
Speaker, the West has no problems with Jews or Christians, but it does
have problems with Islam. It is still possible, even today, for Muslims
to view the Koran, which they regard as valid for all time, as a
licence to kill. And that is exactly what happens. The Koran is worded
in such a way that its instructions are addressed to Muslims for
eternity, which includes today's Muslims. This in contrast to texts in
the Bible, which is formulated as a number of historical narratives,
placing events in a distant past. Let us remind ourselves that it was
Muslims, not Jews or Christians, who committed the catastrophic
terrorist attacks in New York, Madrid and London; and that it was no
coincidence that Theo van Gogh was brutally murdered by a Muslim,
Mohammed Bouyeri.

Madam Speaker, I acknowledge that there are
people who call themselves Muslims and who respect our laws. My party,
the Freedom Party, has nothing against such people, of course. However,
the Koran does have something against them. For it is stated in the
Koran in Sura 2, verse 85, that those believers who do not believe in
everything the Koran states will be humiliated and receive the severest
punishment; which means that they will roast in Hell. In other words,
people who call themselves Muslims but who do not believe, for example,
in Sura 9, verse 30, which states that Jews and Christians must be
fought, or, for example, in Sura 5, verse 38, which states that the
hand of a thief must be cut off, such people will be humiliated and
roast in Hell. Note that it is not me who is making this up. All this
can be found in the Koran. The Koran also states that Muslims who
believe in only part of the Koran are in fact apostates, and we know
what has to happen to apostates. They have to be killed.

Madam
Speaker, the Koran is a book that incites to violence. I remind the
House that the distribution of such texts is unlawful according to
Article 132 of our Penal Code. In addition, the Koran incites to hatred
and calls for murder and mayhem. The distribution of such texts is made
punishable by Article 137(e). The Koran is therefore a highly dangerous
book; a book which is completely against our legal order and our
democratic institutions. In this light, it is an absolute necessity
that the Koran be banned for the defence and reinforcement of our
civilisation and our constitutional state. I shall propose a
second-reading motion to that effect.

Madam Speaker, there is no
such thing as "moderate Islam".... As Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan
said the other day, and I quote, "There is no moderate or immoderate
Islam. Islam is Islam and that's it".... Islam is in pursuit of
dominance. It wishes to exact its imperialist agenda by force on a
worldwide scale (8:39). This is clear from European history.
Fortunately, the first Islamic invasion of Europe was stopped at
Poitiers in 732; the second in Vienna in 1683. Madam Speaker, let us
ensure that the third Islamic invasion, which is currently in full
spate, will be stopped too in spite of its insidious nature and
notwithstanding the fact that, in contrast to the 8th and 17th
centuries, it has no need for an Islamic army because the scared
"dhimmis" in the West, also those in Dutch politics, have left their
doors wide open to Islam and Muslims.

Apart from conquest, Madam
Speaker, Islam is also bent on installing a totally different form of
law and order, namely Sharia law. This makes Islam, apart from a
religion for hundreds of millions of Muslims also, and in particular, a
political ideology (with political/constitutional/Islamic basic values,
etc). Islam is an ideology without any respect for others; not for
Christians, not for Jews, not for non-believers and not for apostates.
Islam aims to dominate, subject, kill and wage war.

Madam
Speaker, the Islamic incursion must be stopped. Islam is the Trojan
Horse in Europe. If we do not stop Islamification now, Eurabia and
Netherabia will just be a matter of time. One century ago, there were
approximately 50 Muslims in the Netherlands. Today, there are about 1
million Muslims in this country. Where will it end? We are heading for
the end of European and Dutch civilisation as we know it. Where is our
Prime Minister in all this? In reply to my questions in the House he
said, without batting an eyelid, that there is no question of our
country being Islamified. Now, this reply constituted a historical
error as soon as it was uttered. Very many Dutch citizens, Madam
Speaker, experience the presence of Islam around them. ntaAnd I can report
that they have had enough of burkas, headscarves, the ritual slaughter
of animals, so-called honour revenge, blaring minarets, female
circumcision, hymen restoration operations, abuse of homosexuals,
Turkish and Arabic on the buses and trains as well as on town hall
leaflets, halal meat at grocery shops and department stores, Sharia
exams, the Finance Minister's Sharia mortgages, and the enormous over
represetion of Muslims in the area of crime, including Moroccan
street terrorists.

In spite of all this, Madam Speaker, there is
hope. Fortunately. The majority of Dutch citizens have become fully
aware of the danger, and regard Islam as a threat to our culture. My
party, the Freedom Party, takes those citizens seriously and comes to
their defence.

Many Dutch citizens are fed up to the back teeth
and yearn for action. However, their representatives in The Hague are
doing precisely nothing. They are held back by fear, political
correctness or simply electoral motives. This is particularly clear in
the case of PvdA, the Dutch Labour Party, which is afraid of losing
Muslim voters. The Prime Minister said in Indonesia the other day that
Islam does not pose any danger. Minister Donner believes that Sharia
law should be capable of being introduced in the Netherlands if the
majority want it. Minister Vogelaar babbles about the future
Netherlands as a country with a Judeo-Christian-Islamic tradition, and
that she aims to help Islam take root in Dutch society. In saying this,
the Minister shows that she has obviously gone stark raving mad. She is
betraying Dutch culture and insulting Dutch citizens.

Madam
Speaker, my party, the Freedom Party, demands that Minister Vogelaar
retract her statement. If the Minister fails to do so, the Freedom
Party parliamentary group will withdraw its support for her. No Islamic
tradition must ever be established in the Netherlands: not now and also
not in a few centuries' time.

Madam Speaker, let me briefly
touch on the government's response to the WRR [Netherlands Scientific
Council for Government Policy] report. On page 12 of its response, the
government states that Islam is not contrary to democracy or human
rights. All I can say to that is that things can't get much more
idiotic than this.

Madam Speaker, it is a few minutes to twelve.
If we go on like this, Islam will herald the end of our Western
civilisation as well as Dutch culture.

I would like to round off
my first-reading contribution with a personal appeal to the Prime
Minister on behalf of a great many Dutch citizens: stop the
Islamification of the Netherlands!

Mr Balkenende, a historic
task rests on your shoulders. Be courageous. Do what many Dutch
citizens are screaming out for. Do what the country needs. Stop all
immigration from Muslim countries, ban all building of new mosques,
close all Islamic schools, ban burkas and the Koran. Expel all criminal
Muslims from the country, including those Moroccan street terrorists
that drive people mad. Accept your responsibility! Stop Islamification!

Enough is enough, Mr Balkenende. Enough is enough."

Religion of Peace, My Arse IV

Today at the Gaza Strip Border.

An IDF soldier was killed
this morning and another was critically injured as palestinians
detonated an explosive device near an IDF Sufa jeep patrolling the area
near the Gaza Strip border, not far from the Kissufim crossing. When
other army vehicles, as well as an army helicopter arrived to rescue
the wounded, they also came under fire. Hamas and the Islamic Jihad
both claimed responsibility for the attack, with the latter even distributing candy.

Moslems celebrate Death.

Moslem Murdering Innocents, again

Statement from the Israel ambassador:

Today’s terrorist attack on a religious seminary in
Jerusalem, in which eight young students were murdered in cold blood by
a Palestinian terrorist, is a terrible reminder of the indiscriminate
and brutal terrorism Israel faces every day.

The gunman, armed with an automatic assault rifle, heavy ammunition
and a bulletproof vest, infiltrated the crowded school library and
opened fire at students during religious study.

The reaction in the West Bank and Gaza, including celebrations and
praise for the killer, is the result of ongoing and intensive
incitement to violence against innocent Israeli civilians.

While continuing to pursue every opportunity for peace, Israel will
defend its citizens and take the necessary security measures to combat
terror. Be it rocket fire from Gaza or suicide attackers in Jerusalem,
Israel expects the international community to take a resolute and
determined stand against terror in all its forms.

To Do List for John McCain

This is what I think John McCain should do now that he has won the Republican nomination:

1) Campaign to promote his agenda. He should focus on his positives, and he should not engage in negative campaigning against the Democrats (that can wait till later).

2) Consult with the GOP leadership - to get their input who should be his Vice-President. Also, he should start getting their input on who should be in his Cabinet.

3) Spread his coattails - Campaign to help elect other Republicans to Washington.

4) Be a Senator - John McCain should be on Capital Hill as much as possible, and he should try to disrupt the Obama and Clinton Campaigns by forcing them to be on Capital Hill.

Brett Favre: Retires

Brett Favre has retired from football.

The legendary quarterback who holds most of the career records is tired.

Brett, you set a high standard;
on the field, you played to win;
and off the field, you played nice.

Religion of Peace, My Arse II

THREATS, THREATS and THREATS from the "Religion of Peace" --
If Islam was a religion of peace, it would not be issuing threats;
If Moslems were a peaceful people, they would not be murdering innocent men, women, and children;
Someday, maybe, Moslems and Islam will mature into a respectable religion, but for now, they are nothing but a DEATH CULT, which worships SATAN (ALLAH).


This point is emphasized once again in an editorial entitled “Playing With Fire” from today’s Arab News. This time it’s the German Interior Minister whose knees are being figuratively broken:

The
statement by Germany’s Interior Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble that
European newspapers should reprint the controversial Danish cartoons of
the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) as a show of support for press
freedom is astounding.

It is difficult to believe that a
supposedly responsible and politically astute politician could say
something so irresponsible and dangerous — and Schaeuble is supposedly
both. More to the point, Schaeuble knows perfectly well that there are
hundreds of millions of Muslims worldwide to whom the cartoons are not
merely deeply offensive but an outrage. He also knows perfectly well
what happened when the cartoons were first published — the wave of
violent protest worldwide two years ago that resulted in dozens of
people killed in riots and Danish embassies destroyed. The decision by
Danish papers to reprint the most offensive of the cartoons has already
led to Egypt protesting to Denmark, Iranian MPs demanding action
against the country, mass demonstrations in Sudan and riots by outraged
Muslims in Denmark itself.

Schaeuble cannot, therefore, claim
that he did not realize the consequences of what he said or that he has
been naive. This is no mere mistake or case of insensitivity. He knows
the massive damage to Germany that can result from what he said —
boycotts of German products, mass protests across the world, German
diplomats in danger, embassies under attack — yet still he said it. He
is being deliberately provocative.

Danes Leading the way again

According to Danish newspaper Berlingske Tidende, the poster in question featured the Kaaba shrine with the text "Stupid stone". A poster with a Jewish man wearing a typical Jewish head covering had the inscription "Stupid skullcap".

BT quotes the Tiergarten press release as saying: Muslims in Europe must accept that they can't censure an exhibition in a gallery.

A Berlin gallery has temporarily closed an exhibition of satirical works by a group of Danish artists after six Muslim youths threatened violence unless one of the posters depicting the Kaaba shrine in Mecca was removed, it said on Thursday.

Harry Wales, Hero

Prince Harry has been fighting the Taleban on the front line in Afghanistan, the Ministry of Defence has confirmed.
Harry, 23, who is third in line to the throne, has spent the last 10 weeks serving in Helmand Province.

"I finally get the chance to do the soldiering that I want to do," the prince said ahead of his deployment.

The deployment was subject to a news blackout deal, but broke down when leaked on US website the Drudge Report.

British Royal Prince Harry has been fighting in Afghanistan since late December -- and has been directly involved in gun battle, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

The
prince, a junior officer in the Blues and Royals, and third in line to
the throne, has been a "magnificent soldier" and an "inspiration to all
of Briton."


Have no fear, Young Prince, the US Marines will be proud to fight alongside you.

USS New York (LPD 21) Commissioning

The Navy will christen the newest San Antonio class amphibious
transport dock ship New York (LPD 21) at 10 a.m. CST on Saturday, March
1, 2008, during a ceremony at Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding facilities
in New Orleans, La.

The ship is named New York in honor of the state, the city and the
victims of Sept. 11, 2001. A unique characteristic of the ship is the
use of 7.5 tons of steel salvaged from the World Trade Center wreckage
that was incorporated into the construction process. The steel was
melted and formed to make the bow stem of the ship. Use of this steel
symbolizes the spirit and resiliency of the people of New York. The
official motto of New York is: "Never Forget."

This Day in History

On this day in 1856 a party was founded to oppose the pro-slavery policies of the Democrats.

by working to raise taxes,
by working to reduce/restrict law enforcement,
by denying equal rights to all while they try to grant special rights to some,
by attacking our right to keep and bear arms,

Splash one satellite!!!

Surface Warfare means you command the sea, under the sea, your airspace and now, space itself.

WASHINGTON - The USS Lake Erie, armed with an SM-3 missile designed
to knock down incoming missiles—not orbiting satellites—launched the
attack at 10:26 p.m. EST, according to the Pentagon. It hit the
satellite as the spacecraft traveled at more than 17,000 mph.

Splash one satellite!!!

USS Lake Erie (CG 70) fired a single modified tactical Standard Missile-3 (SM-3) and successfully impacted a non-functioning National Reconnaissance Office satellite approximately 247 kilometers (133 nautical miles) over the Pacific Ocean, as it traveled in space at more than 17,000 mph.

Preliminary reports indicate the SM-3 missile struck its primary target, which was a tank full of toxic hydrazine rocket fuel carried aboard the 5,000-pound satellite, Marine Gen. James E. Cartwright, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters at a Pentagon news conference.

"The intercept occurred. We're very confident that we hit the satellite," Cartwright said. "We also have a high degree of confidence that we got the tank."

WikiLeaks facing US Censorship

I am posting this because the judge in this case has gone too far. A complete and permanent shutdown of the site because one party complains, the judge could have/should have ordered the blocking/removal of the documents from this party until a hearing could be held. This is wrong.

http://88.80.13.160/wiki/Wikileaks

What is WikiLeaks?

Wikileaks is developing an uncensorable Wikipedia for untraceable mass document leaking and analysis. Our primary interest is in exposing oppressive regimes in Asia, the former Soviet bloc, Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East, but we also expect to be of assistance to people of all regions who wish to reveal unethical behavior in their governments and corporations. We aim for maximum political impact. Our interface is identical to Wikipedia and usable by all types of people. We have received over 1.2 million documents so far from dissident communities and anonymous sources.

We believe that transparency in government activities leads to reduced corruption, better government and stronger democracies. All governments can benefit from increased scrutiny by the world community, as well as their own people. We believe this scrutiny requires information. Historically that information has been costly - in terms of human life and human rights. But with technological advances - the internet, and cryptography - the risks of conveying important information can be lowered.

Wikileaks opens leaked documents up to stronger scrutiny than any media organization or intelligence agency can provide. Wikileaks provides a forum for the entire global community to relentlessly examine any document for its credibility, plausibility, veracity and validity. Communities can interpret leaked documents and explain their relevance to the public.

8th Night of Moslem rioting in Denmark

The 8th night of torchings took place in Denmark last night.
Several schools and hundreds of cars have been torched.
ITN reported:

A
total of 20 towns were hit by fires on Sunday night, with around 29
people arrested - most of them for arson or attempted arson.

In two cases the fires were so strong that blocks of flats had to be evacuated.

Bands
of young people have vandalised or set fire to hundreds of cars and a
number of schools in the past week, however the situation was said to
have been improving over the weekend.

Police said they could give no reason for the behaviour, but said unusually mild weather and the closure of schools for a winter break might have contributed.

Social
workers believe an alleged plot to kill a Danish cartoonist for his
drawing two years ago of the Prophet Mohammad may have fuelled the
riots. Fifteen Danish newspapers reprinted his drawing on Wednesday in
protest against the alleged murder plot.

Most Muslims consider depictions of the Prophet offensive.

Clinton is a cheater

Harold Ickes, a top adviser to Sen. Hillary Rodham
Clinton's campaign who voted for Democratic Party rules that stripped
Michigan and Florida of their delegates, now is arguing against the
very penalty he helped pass.

In a conference call Saturday, the longtime Democratic Party member
contended the DNC should reconsider its tough sanctions on the two
states, which held early contests in violation of party rules. He said
millions of voters in Michigan and Florida would be otherwise
disenfranchised -- before acknowledging moments later that he had favored the sanctions.

Last fall, Mr Ickes supported the tough penalties against states with early primaries,
then Senator Clinton forgot to withdraw her name from those state primaries,
Now Senator Clinton wants (needs) those delegates to win,
Change the rules, so, I win - Senator Clinton can not play by the rules and win.

Change the Rules after the Election.

Yep, it is the Clinton/Gore way;
change the rules after the election...
because they can not win by following the rules.
Clinton only follows the rules/law when it benefits her.

Independent

The Hillary Clinton campaign has served notice that it expects to
claim delegates theoretically garnered in primary votes in Michigan and
Florida even though the contests in both states were declared void by
the Democratic leadership long before they were held.

The highly controversial gambit reflects growing concern in the
Clinton camp that her rival for the nomination, Barack Obama, may be
pulling far enough ahead to be beyond her reach. Yesterday, David
Plouffe, Mr Obama’s campaign manager, said it had become “highly
unlikely” that Mrs Clinton could now prevail.

But reclaiming the “phantom” delegates from Michigan and Florida
could potentially tilt the race back in her favour. Last September,
both candidates pledged not to campaign in either state after they
defied party rules by leapfrogging their primary votes into January.

Clinton = Cheat

Moslem Rioting in Denmark

From AFP:

At least 11 cars were torched in various neighbourhoods of Copenhagen, and 10 others in the nearby town of Kokkedal.

On Thursday, 17 youths were arrested for rioting the previous night.

"We don't know why they're rioting. I think it's because they're bored. Some people say it's because of the cartoons but that's not my opinion," Olesen said.

He was referring to the reprinting of a controversial cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed in 17 Danish newspapers on Wednesday.

Protests have flared up again in several Muslim countries including Kuwait and Pakistan following the reprinting. The Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas also condemned the publication...

Three people were arrested for planning the murder, including two Tunisians who have lived in Denmark for more than seven years and whom Denmark has decided to expel without a trial.
**************************************

"We don't know why they're rioting. I think it's because they're bored. Some people say it's because of the cartoons but that's not my opinion,"

Bullsh!t

Everybody in the real world knows it is because of the cartoons.
Moslems riot for childish reasons.

Moslems are rioting because the cartoonists dare draw the truth.

The TRUTH is:

ISLAM IS A DEATH CULT.
ALLAH IS SATAN.

That is the only way to explain Islam.

Moslems will force people to convert to Islam.
Islam holds its 'faithful' by pain of death.
To convert away from Islam, earns an Islamic death sentence.

Toons

Shamelessly borrowed from Michelle Malkin:

Zombie e-mails:
I think it's important that the West stands up on this
issue: if we cave into Muslim demands for self-censorship, our freedom of speech
will be taken away forever.
Exactly right. And for those who think this isn't
affecting us, open your eyes:

Berkeley: Home of the Intolerant

of intolerant hatred for anyone who sticks up for the men and women who
are fighting and dying to protect THEIR rights.

True Colors of the Anti-war crowd

Is it just me or is the irony of anti-war crowd visible to all? I guess
that I cannot understand why I am accused of being a violent and evil
person when I am not the person that is physically attacking those who
don’t share my opinion on how to conduct foreign policy. The fact that
the Pinkers had to hit people with signs and throw rocks into the MAF
crowd just shows their contempt for the First Amendment, well at least
when it is an opinion that they do not agree with.

The CodePINKers have been attacking the pro-victory, we support the troops crowd today in Berkeley.
The Berkeley Police have taken the CodePINK side by allowing them to assault the pro-victory crowd.
The Move America Forward protest has been denied equal treatment under the law. The City of Berkeley does not support 'free speech' if they disagree with the speaker.
The liberals can not stand dissent. They work to silence any opposing point of view, which is what nazis and communists do.
Liberals oppose freedom. They demand submission to their thought control.
Liberals hate freedom. They have no rational arguments to support their views so they work to suppress any and all opposing points of view.

Democrats oppose the Marine Corps

Senate Democrats left two days of legislative business
officially open last week, hobbling GOP efforts to bring up a bill
punishing a liberal California city for scolding Marine Corps
recruiters.

Republicans said Democrats clearly wanted to avoid being forced to
choose between the Marine Corps or Berkeley, Calif., known for its
liberalism and fervent anti-war positions.

Instead of adjourning at the end of a day as usual, the Senate
“recessed” twice, a move that, under Senate rules, slows the process of
adding new bills to the calendar. Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.)
did not adjourn until last Friday, effectively pushing back floor
consideration on the GOP bill until Tuesday — the same day that the
city council is likely to tone down its call for Marine Corps
recruiters to leave town.

“The only reason to recess is to block something, and the thing that
got blocked by Reid’s stall tactic was the Semper Fi Act,” said
spokesman Wesley Denton, referring to the bill introduced by his boss,
Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.).

“Democrats have chosen not to defend the Marine Corps, but to pander
to anti-war protesters and Berkeley officials that are actively trying
to impede military recruitment.”

More Injustice by the City of Berkeley

Berkeley Police Watch “Peace” Freaks attack Patriots

Berkeley erupted in violence Tuesday morning when the Communist,
terrorist-supporting anti-war group crossed into Martin Luther King
Park and assaulted pro-troop individuals. Riot police stood by, but did
not stop the assaults. Police agencies did not respond to calls for
help.

Move America Forward, the nation’s largest pro-troop organization,
received permits from the City of Berkeley to hold a daylong
demonstration in MLK park against the City Council who passed three
outrageous resolutions calling U.S. Marines “unwanted intruders.”

“It is mayhem on here,” MAF communications director Danny Gonzalez said from the park early Tuesday morning.

Code Pink was permitted for across the street. The two sides were to
stay separated, according to rules laid down by the city. But the city
has a history of giving Code Pink special preference. The City Council
gave free parking permits and a free noise permit to the radical group,
which has helped fund terrorist families in Iraq with a $600,000 gift.
MAF Exeutive Director Catherine Moy attempted to get help from the
Berkeley police as the mayhem unfolded, but an officer hung up on Moy.
Moy asked the California Highway Patrol to help in the emergency, but
the CHP refused. “I have never in my life experienced such inaction in
the face of an emergency, “Moy said. “I will ask the Federal Government
to investigate, as well as the State Attorney General. It is one thing
to give free parking places to the City Council’s special interest
anti-war groups, it is another to take sides and endanger the lives of
others.”

Move America Forward and other pro-troop organizations will stand in
support of the Marines all day Tuesday until they can enter the City
Council chambers to address the City Council.

New Clinton Campiagn Manager

Obama needs a larger security force protecting him.
********
Among Billaryland's inner circle, Maggie Williams is renowned as the
ultimate Hillary loyalist, fierce and unwavering in her devotion for
nearly 25 years.

A Kansas City native, Williams, 53, was a central player in the Clinton damage-control machine during the White House years.

In 1995, a uniformed Secret Service officer swore under oath he saw
her leave White House lawyer and Hillary confidant Vince Foster's
office carrying documents after Foster committed suicide. Williams
denied it.

Berkeley and Code Pink

Move America Forward is supporting the Marine Corps Recruiters who are under attack by the City of Berkeley and Code Pink.

Just got an email from our friend Melanie Morgan of MoveAmericaForward.com.

They went to Berkeley to meet with City Officials about their upcoming protest, and…well, here, I’ll just paste in her email:

Catherine Moy, our Executive Director for Move America Forward, met
with Berkeley City officials today, including representatives of the
police department about our rally and protest of Berkeley’s outrageous
resolution condemning our Marines at the Recruiting Center as ‘unwanted
and uninvited intruders.’

Um, it did not go so well.

Oddly, some were outwardly HOSTILE towards our patriots.

Cat Moy suggested that the city of Berkeley just start waterboarding us right now.

The police liason was NOT amused.

Among the demands from the bureaucrats is that we provide:

.....

-shut down our sound system at 5:00 when our rally is scheduled to begin!

-and many other ridiculous permit rules.

CodePink has preferred parking, free sound permits, and two City
Council Members plotting over the weekend to deny us our right to speak
at the Council meeting at 7:00 tomorrow night. Oops, did I say 7:00?
Now it appears the Council is meeting secretly at 5:00 in the
afternoon.

Fascism by Regulation.

It’s what Berkeley does best.

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

Move America Forward is not receiving 'equal treatment under the law'. They need to file a Federal lawsuit against the City of Berkeley.

Changing the time of a public meeting - I doubt if proper and legal notice of the change was posted.

Extending benefits to one group and not others.

Imposing additional burdens on one group and not others.

Sue the City of Berkeley, I don't think the 9th Circuit can defend their actions.

Voting: A Civic Duty

This November, we may not like the choices for President,
but we should still vote.
This November, we may not like the choices for Senator,
but we should still vote.
This November, we may not like the choices for Congress,
but we should still vote.
This November, we may not like the choices on the ballot,
but we should still vote.

We should vote for the candidate that most closely aligns with our views,
or vote against the candidate that we distrust the most.

We should vote and register our opinion on the local issues (taxes) that affect our community.

We may hate all the choices for President...
but we should still vote
and make a difference on the rest of the ballot.

Voting: A Civic Duty

UPDATE: The more I read about McCain, the more I distrust him.
The latest 2-4-08 polls (RealClearPolitics.com)
show a virtual tie between Romney and McCain,
plus they show Obama well ahead of Clinton.

Option 3 is now in play: Vote for Romney.

BUT, since the pollsters have been very wrong earlier this year in NH.

DO I

VOTE AGAINST MCCAIN
or
VOTE AGAINST CLINTON

VOTING AGAINST CLINTON is VERY IMPORTANT TO THE WELFARE OF THIS NATION,
but
MCCAIN is NEARLY AS EVIL AS CLINTON.

Hmmm

Original post below:


Voting is a Civic Duty, but do I vote FOR somebody or AGAINST somebody.
My Presidential voting record:
I voted for Reagan, Reagan, Bush, Bush, (did not vote), Bush, Bush.
But at this time, I am not for either McCain, Huckabee, or Romney.
But, I am against Clinton, more than I am against Obama.

McCain is a Liberal Republican, strong on defense, weak on immigration, and would likely appoint moderate justices.
Romney is a Moderate Republican, strong on defense, weak on social issues, and might appoint conservative justices.
Huckabee is a joke.
Obama is a Liberal Democrat, weak on social issues, would appoint activist liberal justices, and is clueless on foreign affairs.
Clinton is a Socialist, seeking power for her own glory, uncaring about all others, and has a bad temper.

So, next Tuesday, in Georgia's OPEN primary -- how do I vote?
Huckabee is currently leading McCain - 29%-24% with Romney a distant 3rd at 18%
that leaves 29% undecided!
Obama is leading Clinton - 43%-35%
that leaves 22% undecided!

two voting options:
vote in the Republican primary for Fred Thompson...
to send a message that true conservatives are needed.
or
vote in the Democrat primary for Obama...
to help stop Clinton and to help keep the Democrat catfight going strong.

I am leaning strongly for option 2: Vote against Clinton.

Support the Berkeley Marines

Here’s the address for the recruiting station:

United States Marine Corps Recruiting

64 Shattuck Square

Berkeley, CA 94704

Also a word of advice from CJ over at A Soldier’s Perspective:

Make sure you put someone on the envelope something like
“We Support You” so they realize it isn’t junk mail. Tell them not to
cave to idiotic policies and hold strong. These guys have taken beaches
and islands, I think they can handle Berkeley!! Please don’t call the
Station as these Marines are very busy and need their phone lines free
to find more patriotic Americans to become “the Few and the Proud”.

Islam: Intolorant and Afraid of Freedom

"PRESS TV – IRAN: Islamic states' envoys to the
Netherlands are planning to
meet the country's officials to warn them
against producing an anti-Islam film.

The ambassadors
from Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) member
states have
held a meeting to discuss ways to prevent the production of a

controversial film by a far-right Dutch lawmaker that would be
insulting to
Islam, informed sources told Press TV.

Dutch MP Geert Wilders had earlier said that he planned to make the film to
attack the Holy Qur'an."

Islamic nations are afraid of Freedom. Islamic nations want the power to control thought and expression of ideas. A true religion can withstand insults, but Islam is political not religious.

Islam seeks the end of Freedom.
Islam demands submission.
Islam is barbaric.

Geert Wilders is correct, the Koran is the guide for political control, it is not a 'religious' document. The Koran calls for murder.

Religion of Peace: My Arse, Part 2

Since Islam is the Religion of Peace (TM) :

Why are the Dutch Police worried about riots after the release of the film by Geert Wilders?

Yes, the film will be critical of Islam.
Yes, the film will state that the Koran promotes murder.
(Mr Wilders is an honest filmmaker.)

Since Islam is the Religion of Peace (TM) :

Why are the Dutch Police asking Mr. Wilders to leave Holland?

Maybe, it is because the Dutch Police know that Islam is a Death Cult.
That Moslems are barbaric thugs who are unable obey the laws of a civilized society.

Islam: An Insult to Civilization

An Afghan court on Tuesday sentenced a 23-year-old
journalism student to death for distributing a paper he printed off the
Internet that three judges said violated the tenets of Islam, an
official said.The three-judge panel sentenced
Sayad Parwez Kambaksh to death for distributing a paper that humiliated
Islam, said Fazel Wahab, the chief judge in the northern province of
Balkh, where the trial took place. Wahab did not preside over the trial.Kambaksh's
family and the head of a journalists group denounced the verdict and
said Kambaksh was not represented by a lawyer at trial. Members of a
clerics council had been pushing for Kambaksh to be punished.The
case now goes to the first of two appeals courts, Wahab said. Kambaksh,
who has been jailed since October, will remain in custody during appeal.

Sentenced to death,
Islam does not allow the Freedom of Expression.

Islam can not allow the truth to be published. That Islam abuses women, encourages torture, and the murder of innocent men, women and children.

The True Face of Intolerant Islam

This picture sums up Islam.
Total Intolerance with Murderous Mobs.
Allah is Satan, pure evil.
Mohammad (Pigs Be Upon Him) is Satan's Prophet.
Islam demands Submission.
Moslems Abuse Women and Children.

Islam is a Death Cult

From The Home of the Green Arrow

THE BIG LIE of our times is to deny that Islam is an

intrinsically violent, aggressive and murderous

ideology.

CDR Salamander: Getting off the fence

CDR Salamander: Getting off the fence: "As is obvious to regular readers, I have a hair trigger for the enablers, useful idiots, fellow travelers, and professional apologists for Islamists. Zero tolerance for these people. It has nothing to do with religion either - it all has to do with their core view of the human existence. Their belief that the human spirit should be beaten down, free will expunged with the edge of a knife and the end of the whip - choice boiled down to submission or death. No, I cannot abide that view of human existence. I am intolerant of that intolerance. I do not apologize for my intolerance. I embrace my intolerance as the best way to preserve tolerance."

Welcome Aboard, Commander.

YES, I do

Veterans and Murder

Veterans are LESS likely to commit murder than non-veterans.

Veterans are more law abiding and have more self-control.

So, why does the NY Times slander veterans?

Why does the NY Times imply that veterans are dangerous and and a threat to civil society?

Is it because the NY Times is bias against the US Military?

Human Shields

I know them

UN (in)Human Rights Council

Here is a transcript of the remarkable testimony of Hillel Neuer, Executive Director of UN Watch, who elicits the "Inadmissible" comment.


Mr. President,

Six
decades ago, in the aftermath of the Nazi horrors, Eleanor Roosevelt,
Réné Cassin and other eminent figures gathered here, on the banks of
Lake Geneva, to reaffirm the principle of human dignity. They created
the Commission on Human Rights. Today, we ask: What has become of their
noble dream?

In this session we see the answer. Faced with
compelling reports from around the world of torture, persecution, and
violence against women, what has the Council pronounced, and what has
it decided?

Nothing. Its response has been silence. Its response has been indifference. Its response has been criminal.

One might say, in Harry Truman’s words, that this has become a Do-Nothing, Good-for-Nothing Council.

But that would be inaccurate. This Council has, after all, done something.

It
has enacted one resolution after another condemning one single state:
Israel. In eight pronouncements—and there will be three more this
session—Hamas and Hezbollah have been granted impunity. The entire rest
of the world—millions upon millions of victims, in 191
countries—continue to go ignored.

So yes, this Council is doing
something. And the Middle East dictators who orchestrate this campaign
will tell you it is a very good thing. That they seek to protect human
rights, Palestinian rights.

So too, the racist murderers and
rapists of Darfur women tell us they care about the rights of
Palestinian women; the occupiers of Tibet care about the occupied; and
the butchers of Muslims in Chechnya care about Muslims.

But do these self-proclaimed defenders truly care about Palestinian rights?

Let
us consider the past few months. More than 130 Palestinians were killed
by Palestinian forces. This is three times the combined total that were
the pretext for calling special sessions against Israel in July and
November. Yet the champions of Palestinian rights—Ahmadinejad, Assad,
Khaddafi, John Dugard—they say nothing. Little 3-year-old boy Salam
Balousha and his two brothers were murdered in their car by Prime
Minister Haniyeh’s troops. Why has this Council chosen silence?

Because
Israel could not be blamed. Because, in truth, the despots who run this
Council couldn’t care less about Palestinians, or about any human
rights.

They seek to demonize Israeli democracy, to delegitimize
the Jewish state, to scapegoat the Jewish people. They also seek
something else: To distort and pervert the very language and idea of
human rights.

You ask: What has become of the founders’ dream?
Of Eleanor Roosevelt, of Rene Casssin, of John Humphrey, P.C. Chang,
Charles Malik, who assembled here in Geneva sixty years ago? With
terrible lies and moral inversion, it is being turned into a nightmare.

Thank you, Mr. President.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

REPLY BY UN HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL PRESIDENT LUIS ALFONSO DE ALBA:

For
the first time in this session I will not express thanks for that
statement. I shall point out to the distinguished representative of the
organization that just spoke, the distinguished representative of
United Nations Watch, if you'd kindly listen to me. I am sorry that I'm
not in a position to thank you for your statement. I should mention
that I will not tolerate any similar statements in the Council. The way
in which members of this Council were referred to, and indeed the way
in which the council itself was referred to, all of this is
inadmissible. In the memory of the persons that you referred to,
founders of the Human Rights Commission, and for the good of human
rights, I would urge you in any future statements to observe some
minimum proper conduct and language. Otherwise, any statement you make
in similar tones to those used today will be taken out of the records.

The UN denies its own people the freedom of expression.
It is 'inadmissible' to speak the truth at the UN.

Why does the US support such crap?
The US needs to withdrawal from the UN. The UN no longer follows its own Charter.
