The Officers' Club: The Rise and Fall of the Stoic

We fight a noble fight in stopping Islamofacism

And we need to take the fight to Iran, and soon.
With or without, Old Europe.

The Islamists are demanding our submission to Islamic Law.
Will Old Europe wake up in time? Or will the useful idiots take ALL freedoms away from the Europeans.

Damn, we have twice repaid the French for their assistance in our independence, both times aiding and defending the nation we fought for our independence.
Is the USA going to defend freedom in Europe a third time?

Danes under threat

Innocent Danish Citizens under threat in Indonesia.

The BBC's Julian Isherwood in Copenhagen says the intelligence reports are of such a concern to the foreign ministry, they are taking no chances.

'Imminent danger'

"Concrete information indicates than an extremist group wishes to actively seek out Danes in protest for the publication of the Prophet Muhammad cartoons," the ministry statement read, without naming the group.

President Carter ordered peacetime warrantless wiretaps

In 1977, President Carter authorized warrantless wiretaps, during peacetime.
The wiretaps were later used to convict several persons of spying for Vietnam.

In 2006, President Carter complains that President Bush authorized warrantless wiretaps, during wartime.
The wiretaps have stopped acts of terrorism.

PATRIOT ACT on track for renewal

according to the Captain, a slightly revised PATRIOT ACT will be approved next week.

Good.

One good looking Danish Queen

With all due respects to Her Royal Majesty Margrethe II of Denmark.

They think this would insult the Danes, I would think the queen had a good laugh at the picture.

More evidence (maybe)

The Volokh Conspiracy thinks that a person whose first language was Arabic drew one of the three false cartoons used to inflame the Muslims.
They are calling for any expert assistance on handwritting to review and comment.

gee, They want to fact-check and verify but they accuse.

Next, They came for Valentine's Day

Islam the Intolerant strikes again.
Since, Islam doesn't do Valentines,
nobody is allowed to do Valentines.
But, in a religion which considers women as property,
men don't need to give Valentines,
they can rape their women whenever they wish.

Tolerance Muslim Style

Free Speech is not tolerated by Islam.

Boycotting Denmark - This is okay with me. This is a civilized way to protest.

Now I'm the Terrorist

Shamelessly borrowed from the Llama Butchers.

Calvin and Hobbes and Muhammad

Ann Coulter, long may she speak, has nailed it. Some quotes:

 

 As my regular readers know, I've long been skeptical of the "Religion of Peace" moniker for Muslims — for at least 3,000 reasons right off the top of my head. I think the evidence is going my way this week.
 

The culture editor of a newspaper in Denmark suspected writers and cartoonists were engaging in self-censorship when it came to the Religion of Peace. It was subtle things, like a Danish comedian's statement, paraphrased by The New York Times, "that he had no problem urinating on the Bible but that he would not dare do the same to the Quran."

 

In order to express their displeasure with the idea that Muslims are violent, thousands of Muslims around the world engaged in rioting, arson, mob savagery, flag-burning, murder and mayhem, among other peaceful acts of nonviolence.
 

Catholics aren't short on rules, but they couldn't care less if non-Catholics use birth control. Conservative Jews have no interest in forbidding other people from mixing meat and dairy. Protestants don't make a peep about other people eating food off one another's plates. (Just stay away from our plates — that's disgusting.)

 

 

 

 

 

Stories from the front

"Also on Christmas Day, a newly hired Iraqi interpreter pulled a gun on one of our soldiers who works with sensitive intelligence. The Iraqi spy made Specialist Steven Clark bring him to his work space so he could look at his computer work station. The interpreter briefly turned his back to Clark and our guy immediately pulled his 9mm pistol and emptied his magazine into the Iraqi. The interpreter also got six shots off, one of which hit the soldier in his left breast pocket, but a notebook and ID card stopped the bullet. When I talked to Clark he said, 'I thought I was going to die and couldn't believe it when the guy turned his back to me.' Interesting detail: this soldier has been awarded the Purple Heart FOUR times. He's another one who doesn't have to be here. Message to all the naysayers back home: If you think these kids aren't committed to this mission, and don't believe in what they are doing, guess again."

 

 

4 Purple Hearts -- WOW

Iraq - We are winning.

Fact or Fiction - A must read article.  

 

The success is getting harder and harder to hide, but the MSM will continue to try and defeat America.

The war on the press

of course European governments are submitting to Muslim Rule...

WHEN WILL THE EUROPEANS WAKE UP
THE ISLAMIST WANT FULL SUBMISSION TO ISLAMIC LAW.
NOTHING LESS WILL DO.

I WILL NOT SUBMIT
I WILL OPPOSE ANY EFFORT TO HAVE
THE UNITED STATES SUBMIT.

Tony Snow re-publishes the 'Toons

Tony Snow of the Fox News has posted the 12 cartoon.

Plus a link to fake cartoons that Danish imams used to inflame public opinion about the original cartoons. They never appeared in any Danish publication (Hat tip to Gateway Pundit).

Way to go Tony!

Toons of our Time

Yes, I can see why some people are offended by the Danish cartoons.
But, other people see those drawings as an accurate reflection of reality.

Freedom of Expression
Does not mean free of offense.
The claim of victimhood does not convey the right to censor others.

Respect for Religion

22 dead as Religious Ceremony Bombed 

 

Sunni Muslims attack Shiite religious ceremony. They don't even respect the fellow muslim's religion.

 

 

If Islam wants respect, Islam needs to earn it.

Egypt

Egyptian Newspaper published the cartoons in Oct 05...no riots till Jan 06.

 

This "Cartoon Jihad" has been created by Muslims as part of their continuing efforts to impose Islamic Law on the world.

 

 

US media used to have guts

Print Free or Die

 

 

There's an even better reason why every newspaper in the free world should print these cartoons on their front page: To do your part to defend free speech…for a change.

The American press ran every photo it could find from Abu Ghraib, knowing as it did that the reaction would hurt the war effort and put our soldiers at risk. The American media didn't hesitate to run with illegally leaked documents about ongoing surveillance of Al Qaeda suspects and their communications into the US, even though breaking that story has absolutely aided the terrorists who want to kill us.

I'm not saying that the press made the wrong decision in either case. But I am pointing out that, for the most part, the typical reporter has been riding in the "free press" wagon, not pushing it.

Well, guys, it's time to get out and push. The threat against free speech from real-life religious zealots has arrived. Filmmakers have been shot. Writers have been stabbed. Cartoonists are forced underground in fear for their lives. Now's your chance to affirm the power of the press and reject the threats of thuggery by printing just one of these cartoons on your front page, with a note explaining that you are supporting the principle, not the message.
