10 Days

This year Islam and Judaism's holiest holidays overlapped for 10 days.

Muslims racked up 397 dead bodies in 94 terror attacks across 10 countries during this time...

while Jews worked on their 159th Nobel Prize.

Who helps African-Americans?

Democrats
with handouts (Welfare, Food Stamps, etc.) that lead to dependency on the government.
who preach, blame others for your misfortune.

or

Republicans
whose party was formed to end slavery.

Republicans also have supported legislation favorable to blacks, often against intense Democratic headwinds:

In
1865, Congressional Republicans unanimously backed the 13th Amendment,
which made slavery unconstitutional. Among Democrats, 63 percent of
senators and 78 percent of House members voted: "No."

In 1866,
94 percent of GOP senators and 96 percent of GOP House members approved
the 14th Amendment, guaranteeing all Americans equal protection of the
law. Every congressional Democrat voted: "No."

February 28, 1871: The GOP Congress passed the Enforcement Act, giving black voters federal protection.


February 8, 1894: Democratic President Grover Cleveland and a
Democratic Congress repealed the GOP's Enforcement Act, denying black
voters federal protection.

January 26, 1922: The U.S. House
adopted Rep. Leonidas Dyer's (R., Mo.) bill making lynching a federal
crime. Filibustering Senate Democrats killed the measure.

May
17, 1954: As chief justice, former three-term governor Earl Warren (R.,
Calif.) led the U.S. Supreme Court's desegregation of government
schools via the landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision. GOP
President Dwight Eisenhower's Justice Department argued for Topeka,
Kansas's black school children. Democrat John W. Davis, who lost a
presidential bid to incumbent Republican Calvin Coolidge in 1924,
defended "separate but equal" classrooms.

September 24, 1957:
Eisenhower deployed the 82nd Airborne Division to desegregate Little
Rock's government schools over the strenuous resistance of Governor
Orval Faubus (D., Ark.).

May 6, 1960: Eisenhower signs the
GOP's 1960 Civil Rights Act after it survived a five-day, five-hour
filibuster by 18 Senate Democrats.

July 2, 1964: Democratic
President Johnson signed the 1964 Civil Rights Act after former
Klansman Robert Byrd's 14-hour filibuster and the votes of 22 other
Senate Democrats (including Tennessee's Al Gore, Sr.) failed to scuttle
the measure. Illinois Republican Everett Dirksen rallied 26 GOP
senators and 44 Democrats to invoke cloture and allow the bill's
passage. According to John Fonte in the January 9, 2003, National
Review, 82 percent of Republicans so voted, versus only 66 percent of
Democrats.

True, Senator Barry Goldwater (R., Ariz.) opposed
this bill the very year he became the GOP's presidential
standard-bearer. However, Goldwater supported the 1957 and 1960 Civil
Rights Acts and called for integrating Arizona's National Guard two
years before Truman desegregated the military. Goldwater feared the
1964 Act would limit freedom of association in the private sector, a
controversial but principled libertarian objection rooted in the First
Amendment rather than racial hatred.

June 29, 1982: President Ronald Reagan signed a 25-year extension of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

The Republican party also is the home of numerous "firsts." Among them:


Until 1935, every black federal legislator was Republican. America's
first black U.S. Representative, South Carolina's Joseph Rainey, and
our first black senator, Mississippi's Hiram Revels, both reached
Capitol Hill in 1870. On December 9, 1872, Louisiana Republican
Pinckney Benton Stewart "P.B.S." Pinchback became America's first black
governor.

August 8, 1878: GOP supply-siders may hate to admit
it, but America's first black Collector of Internal Revenue was former
U.S. Rep. James Rapier (R., Ala.).

October 16, 1901: GOP
President Theodore Roosevelt invited to the White House as its first
black dinner guest Republican educator Booker T. Washington. The
pro-Democrat Richmond Times newspaper warned that consequently, "White
women may receive attentions from Negro men." As Toni Marshall wrote in
the November 9, 1995, Washington Times, when Roosevelt sought
reelection in 1904, Democrats produced a button that showed their
presidential nominee, Alton Parker, beside a white couple while
Roosevelt posed with a white bride and black groom. The button read:
"The Choice Is Yours."

GOP presidents Gerald Ford in 1975 and
Ronald Reagan in 1982 promoted Daniel James and Roscoe Robinson to
become, respectively, the Air Force's and Army's first black four-star
generals.

November 2, 1983: President Reagan established Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday as a national holiday, the first such
honor for a black American.

President Reagan named Colin Powell
America's first black national-security adviser while GOP President
George W. Bush appointed him our first black secretary of state.


President G.W. Bush named Condoleezza Rice America's first black female
NSC chief, then our second (consecutive) black secretary of State. Just
last month, one-time Klansman Robert Byrd and other Senate Democrats
stalled Rice's confirmation for a week. Amid unanimous GOP support, 12
Democrats and Vermont Independent James Jeffords opposed Rice — the
most "No" votes for a State designee since 14 senators frowned on Henry
Clay in 1825.

"The first Republican I knew was my father, and he
is still the Republican I most admire," Rice has said. "He joined our
party because the Democrats in Jim Crow Alabama of 1952 would not
register him to vote. The Republicans did. My father has never
forgotten that day, and neither have I."

Quote

We are
the hope of the Iraqi people. They want what everyone else wants in life:
safety, security, somewhere to call home. They want a country that is safe
to raise their children in. Not a place where their children will be
abducted, raped and murdered if they do not comply with the terrorists
demands. They want to live on, rebuild and prosper. And America has given
them the opportunity, but only if we stay true to the cause and see it to
its end. But the country must unite in this endeavor...we cannot place the
burden on our military alone. We must all stand up and fight, whether in
uniform or not. And supporting us is more than sticking yellow ribbon
stickers on your cars. It's supporting our President, our troops and our
cause.

Right
now, the burden is all on the American soldiers. Right now, hope rides
alone. But it can change, it must change. Because there is only failure and
darkness ahead for us as a country, as a people, if it doesn't.

Let's
stop all the political nonsense, let's stop all the bickering, let's stop
all the bad news and let's stand and fight!

Isn't that what America
is about anyway?

Respect is Earned

comment by a Columbia University Student

Gazelle Javantash, 27, a graduate student at SIPA who was born in Iran,
but grew up in California, said she believed that Mr. Ahmadinejad “felt
attacked.” She said, “He talked about feeling disrespected. Respect is
a huge thing in Persian culture. They could have gotten more out of him
if they showed more respect in the beginning.”

If the Persians want respect, they need to show respect -
Persians needs to respect life, all human life - they do not.

Mr Ahmadinejad wants to wipe Israel off the map, he wants to commit genocide against the Jews.. He deserves no respect.

Iran supplies money, weapons and training to terrorists, terrorists who kill innocent men, women and children. Terrorists in Iraq, Lebanon, Gaza. Terrorists who don't care who they kill.

Bad Columbia

Now for something completely different

I am going to re-post an entry from Daily Kos.

Because I think it will be purged pretty quickly.

re And Feeding Instructions

from Daily Kos by Hunter <rss@dailykos.com>

Congratulations
on your purchase of your new 110th Congress! These care and feeding
instructions will help ensure many years of future enjoyment of your
Congress: please read them carefully.

CONTENTS

As packaged, your new Congress contains:

• 1 Capitol (white)
• 435 live Representatives (also mostly white)
• 100 live Senators (mostly blazingly, translucently white)
• Congress Chow, in the form of hundreds of billions of dollars in cash
• A variety of checks and balances. You may set these aside: they don't actually do anything.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. 
   Soon after installing your new Congress, a green, cash-rich buildup may
   occur. This buildup is a normal part of the ecological balance in your
   Congress; the murky green colors will fade slightly as the ratio of
   legislators to beneficial lobbyists finds a natural balance.

1. 
   Do not expose your Congress to direct sunlight, as this may cause
   excessive "loss" of Senators and Representatives. In order to best
   ensure the health of your Congress, keep it in a dimly lit place,
   preferably near a variety of restaurants.

1. If your
   Congress begins looking drab, place an American flag behind the tank.
   This will stimulate your Congressmen into a variety of unusual
   displays. When the effect fades, add more flags.

1. Do
   not taunt your Congress. Their feelings are easily hurt, and may result
   in uncontrollable, deafening wailing. If this happens, add additional
   flags.

1. A certain amount of sexual perversion is
   normal. If your household includes children, place your Congress in a
   location where children will not have direct access to it. Positioning
   your Congress away from telephone and other communications equipment
   will help prevent a buildup of prostitutes.

1. As
   normal behavior, your Senators and Representatives will travel in
   schools. You may notice portions of your Congress from time to time
   erupt in panic over an unseen enemy, usually hippies or communists.
   This is normal, and will usually resolve itself through a series of
   sternly worded but ineffectual bills.

1. Your Congress
   is a carefully organized hierarchical society. Watch them work together
   to build highways, bridges, and overfunded vanity projects. Do not,
   however, expect them to show interest in you or acknowledge your
   presence in any way. If that's what you wanted, you should have bought
   a dog.

1. Under optimal conditions, your Congress may
   develop one or two Presidential Candidates. The bright colors and
   dramatic displays of these creatures can provide hours of
   entertainment. While Presidential Candidates may add excitement to your
   Congress, note that they are territorial and prone to fighting: keep
   Candidates separate as much as possible. Also, be aware that
   Presidential Candidates require ten times the amount of nutrition of
   other legislators, so feed regularly.

1. Clean your
   Congress every two years to remove buildup and prevent disease. Wipe
   your Congress with a disinfecting solution made up of cursory debate,
   weakly contested primaries, and embarrassingly shallow campaign
   coverage. It won't make the slightest bit of difference, but what the
   hell -- it will give you something to do.

All sales final. No refunds. May exchange for identically dysfunctional Congress only.

TIP: Providing Material Support for Terrorism

Inviting the President of Iran to speak at Columbia University....

Provides support for his regime in Iran....

Iran funds and trains terrorists in Lebanon, Gaza, Iraq....

So isn't Columbia University breaking Federal Law by supporting Iran?

The FBI should arrest the President of Columbia University for providing support for terrorism,

and the Federal Government should stop providing federal funds to Columbia University.

The Pope comes out swinging against Islam

Benedict XVI attacked Muslim nations where Christians are either
persecuted or given the status of second-class citizens under the
Shariah Islamic law.

He also defended the rights of Muslims to convert to Christianity,
an act which warrants the death penalty in many Islamic countries.



His comments came almost exactly a year after he provoked a wave of
anger among Muslims by quoting a Byzantine emperor who linked Islam to
violence.



Yesterday, near Rome, the 80-year-old pontiff made a speech in
"defence of religious liberty", which, he said "is a fundamental,
irrepressible, inalienable and inviolable right".



In a clear reference to Islam, he said: "The exercise of this
freedom also includes the right to change religion, which should be
guaranteed not only legally, but also in daily practice."

I hope that this year the Pope does not back down.

Last year, the Pope attempt to appease the Muslims, and learned that appeasement never works.

Islam is a religion of slaves - yes, slaves - once you are declared a Muslim you must remain a Muslim under pain of death.

If your father is Muslim, you are Muslim.
Therefore in the eyes of Islam - Barack Hussein Obama is a Muslim Apostate, and he must return to Islam or die.

If your mother is Jewish, you are Jewish. But a Jew can convert to another religion, recently the ArchBishop of Paris died, he was Jewish, because his parents, who died in the Holocaust, were Jewish.

New Yorkers need to block the streets on Monday

New Yorkers need to block the streets on Monday.
To deny the President of Iran access to the WTC site and to Columbia University.

New Yorkers need to simply stand/sit in the street and to create gridlock around those locations.
At 9 am - near the WTC site..create gridlock for 5-6 blocks in all directions.
then later near Columbia University.

A simple peaceful protest of Iran's support for terrorism.
A simple peaceful protest of Iran's call to wipe Israel off the map - this is a call for genocide.
A simple peaceful protest of Iran's treatment of homosexuals -  they hang them.

A simple peaceful protest for global human rights.

New Yorkers need to block the streets on Monday.
To deny the President of Iran access to the WTC site and to Columbia University.

Since our government lacks the spine to restrict the President of Iran to the United Nations.
As host of the United Nations, we agreed to allow world leaders to conduct UN business, we do not have to allow them to do anything else on our soil.

This is a great way to support the troops

I Want my Country Back

re is Rick Robert’s “I want my country back” rant. Rick has given
exclusive permission to to post it on every blog you read, and e-mail
it to every friend you have.

_________________________

“I WANT MY COUNTRY BACK!”

I don’t mean to go off on a rant here, but here’s the bottom line, I want my country back.

I want my kids to be able to walk to the store or walk to school
without being abducted by some 3-time convicted child molester. And the
politically correct powers that be in this country just can’t seem to
get over themselves with “CAN’T WE JUST HELP THIS PERSON!” No! You
can’t. But they’re let loose to prey on more children.

I want my kids back. I want my country back.

I don’t agree with everything this President does. I’ve never agreed with anything 100% that any President has done or said.

You know, I was very young during the Vietnam War. So I probably
missed that thing by a hair. I don’t know whether I would have agreed
with that or not at the time. I was too stupid to have an opinion at
that point and time even though I thought I did.

I want my country back.

I want some semblance of respect for authority, whether I agree with it all or not.

I want the Boy Scouts to be “boy” scouts, not boy and “we think
she’s a girl” scouts. I want Girl Scouts to be “girl” scouts not Girl
Scouts and “Bruce.”

I want my country back.

I want to be able to wake up in the morning knowing that I can walk outside without some gang-banger on parole taking my life.

Or being able to go down and purchase a car without having to worry
about you know 90% of the parts being made overseas in some sweatshop.

I want my politicians, when they finally do get my vote, to do what the hell they said they were going to do in the first place.

I want the Abramoff’s of the world to be labeled what they…nothing more than organized crime in a better suit.

I want the Hollywood elite to make movies to entertain me. Not use their celebrity to sway me politically one way or the other.

Quite honestly, if you’re a has-been-pseudo-celebrity I want you to
go away quietly, so that I can remember you fondly through your
“artiste work” that’s left in the archives.

I want people to say something and when they say something look at
me in the eye. And mean what they say. Not say what they think I want
to hear. And then do what they want to later politically or any other
way.

I want to be able to go out and work and make a decent wage and buy
a home. Half the people that are listening to me right now can’t even
afford to buy a house unless they’re working three jobs.

And I want America to be America. All of those opportunities, all of
those things that made her great, I want those returned to the
forefront. If you want to come to this country we welcome you with open
arms. We simply ask that you abide by our laws. I don’t want you to
snub your nose at our laws, then take advantage of our opportunities,
and then cling to the constitution most of which you can’t even read
because you don’t speak the language.

I want us to secure our borders because the country is worth securing. The people that live here are worth protecting.

I want my country back. I want my children back.

I want some semblance of what this country used to be.

It’s worth protecting. It’s worth defending.

I don’t recognize this country anymore.

Not politically, not philosophically, not spiritually.

Whether you like it or whether you don’t God was a part of building
this great nation. To remove him is to take away the very foundation of
what this country was all about.

I don’t care about your political correctness!

I don’t want to know your sexual preference!

I could care less about all of that. Stop making it the headline of the day!

That’s not America.

I want my country back!

And the only way I’m ever going to be able to get this country back
is if I reach out to the brothers and the sisters that all feel the
same way and we say “Hell No! You can’t have our country.”

It’s not for sale! Take the price tag off this country!

Take the price tag off the heads of our children!

Stop it already!

The politically-correct-psychobabble-hug-a-tree-experts ; You are
not qualified to release sex offenders back into our neighborhoods.

The southern border, more than any other border, needs to be secured
tomorrow. For all those that wish to come to this country to take
advantage of her opportunity, to live under a constitution a living
document that breathes in and out just like you do, this country is not
for sale.

I should know. I’m one of the owners. You can’t sell it without my permission.

I want my country back!

Red Skelton's Pledge

Fred's Quote of the Week

A Sign that Property Value is Going Down

Three houses down, a car with a "Ron Paul for President 08" bumper sticker.

I do not mind having hard working Mexicans as neighbors, but a 'Paulbot' on the same street, ugh.

Folks, get a candidate who has a grasp of reality, like Fred Thompson.

Unknown Soldier

By Scott Ott.

In Arlington National Cemetery, just a few miles from here, you can
visit the Tomb of the Unknown Solider, where the unidentified body of a
brave soul rests and receives daily visitors on pilgrimage to honor his
sacrifice. On the side of the sarcophagus you can read this inscription:

HERE RESTS IN

HONORED GLORY

AN AMERICAN

SOLDIER

KNOWN BUT TO GOD

The Tomb of the Unknowns symbolizes a nation from which millions
have arisen to fight for freedom around the world at the cost of their
own comfort, safety and even breath. These are folks who know there’s
something more precious than this fleeting life. With eternity in their
hearts, and pictures of loved ones in their wallets, they thrust
themselves into the breach where evil had threatened to break out and
overwhelm. They showed themselves willing to go the distance, even to
go to a nameless grave, in order to preserve something with blood that
can’t be bought with money, or negotiated with subtle speech.

9/11 statement

Six years have passed since the terrorist attacks on the World Trade
Center and the Pentagon. Today is a day to remember those who lost
their lives at the hands of radical Islamic terrorists who despise our
values and way of life, as well as those men and women who have made
the ultimate sacrifice helping their fellow citizens that tragic day,
and defending freedom in the years that have followed.

We
must never forget that America has shed more blood defending freedom
here and abroad than all the other countries in the world combined. And
it was no different on 9/11. Before the twin towers fell, before the
smoke had cleared from the Pentagon, before the brave men and women of
Flight 93 had made a stand over Shanksville, Penn., Americans were
fighting back.

America’s heritage of defending freedom has
fallen to us. It is a great trust that our generation willingly accepts
and must uphold. But the best way we can do that – while honoring the
tragic loss of our fellow citizens six years ago today, and in all of
the years since – is to make sure our nation continues to stand for
freedom, remains strong and united in the face of threats, and secure.

Word: from a Marine

The message is this: Trust Freedom. Remember, tyrants never learn. The
restriction of Freedom is the limitation of human choice, and choice is
the fulcrum-point of the creative process in human affairs. As earth's
choicemaker, it is our human identity on nature's beautiful blue planet
and the natural premise of man's free institutions, environments, and
respectful relations with one another. Made in the image of our
Creator, free men choose, create, and progress - or die.

Free
men should not fear the moon-god-crowd oppressor nor choose any of his
ways. Recall with a confident Job and a victorious David, "Know ye not
that you are in league with the stones of the field?"

Muslims demand Sweden adopt Shari Law

Egyptian ambassador Mohamed Sotouhi told news agency TT that he and
a group of fellow ambassadors had agreed on a list of measures Sweden
needed to take if it was to secure a long-term solution to the Muhammad
cartoon controversy.

Let's see how can Sweden make the Muslims grow up, how do you make millions of screaming infants stop screaming and mature into responsible adults.

According to Sotouhi, “comprehensive measures” were required if
Sweden was to prevent some “amateur artist” from reawakening tensions
every other month.

Get over it, Free Speech allows some amateur artist to insult people. Ignore the insult and get a life.

“We want to see action, not just nice words. We have to push for a
change in the law,” he said. “Muslims need legal protection against the
desecration of the Prophet Muhammad, maybe something similar to the
protection enjoyed by Jews and homosexuals.”

We, the free people of the world, want to see Muslims living peacefully, we want the mass murders, the acts of terror, the killing of innocent people to cease.

Mr Ambassador, go back to the Muslims and tell them to stop killing each other, to stop attacking the Jewish state, to stop killing innocent people, to stop demanding we adopt Shari Law.
