It's a Hate Crime Stupid!

Picture this, a beautiful Sunday morning, the sun is shining and the birds are singing. You go outside to grab the newspaper and find...

YOUR AMERICAN FLAG, BURNT AND LYING ON THE GROUND. This, after finding your Flag flying upside down the month before.

That's just what happened to my best friend this weekend.

According to Sarasota County Sheriff's Office, Scott A. Baber and Brian A. Richard III, both 18, burned six American flags and tried to firebomb a car.

One of the flags they burned belonged to my friend.

According to sheriff's reports, Baber and Richard were driving around the neighborhood in the early hours and stopped at several houses, dousing flags in kerosene and raising them up flag poles. At least one house was damaged.

Richard told deputies he also tried to set a car on fire by soaking a tennis ball in gasoline and shoving it in the gas tank. The ball wouldn't fit, he told deputies, so he doused the car's exterior with gasoline and tried to ignite it, but that didn't work either, according to sheriff's reports.

Why burn flags and set firebombs? Well, they told deputies they burned the flags because they are anarchists and don't agree with several U.S. government policies, including the war in Iraq.

"I hate Americans," one of them told a deputy, according to reports.

They make a cute couple, don't you think? They live together ya know, at Baber's mommy's house. Isn't that just precious?

Click the pic and get a good look at the little bastards' arrest cards, courtesy of the Sarasota Sheriff's Department:

Baber and Richard burned the flags at homes in the Bent Tree subdivision, where they live with Baber's parents, then set fire to a flag at its clubhouse, said Lt. Chuck Lesaltato, a spokesman for the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office.

"Our deputies came up on them as they were returning to their car," he said.

The stupid moonbats were charged with several counts of arson, criminal mischief and possession and manufacture of a fire bomb.

A judge set bail at $101,120 for Baber, who was described in reports as a lookout, and $402,120 for Richard. Baber posted bail Monday night, but Richard remained in jail.

Stupid little moonbats, to run around their own neighborhood burning flags and trying to set fire to cars. Some of those flags were attached to houses, that means they endangered lives to express their hatred of this Country.

And... they were even dumb enough to brag to the arresting officers about what they did, including how they hung my friend's flag upside the month before.

Richard was carrying a red gas container, the sheriff's reports said. Deputies also found several beer bottles filled with kerosene, stuffed with rags, in a car parked nearby.

Seems pretty cut and dried to me, these moonbats hate Americans and tried to firebomb America. Simply put, they are domestic terrorists and should be treated as such.

Lock 'em up and throw away the key.. and I sure them pretty boys will have a good time in jail, seems like they are just the type to enjoy themselves in an all boy atmosphere.

UPDATE 6/29/05: The Smoking Gun has the probably cause affidavit posted.

A Jew Does Not Expel a Jew

IDF Cpl. Avi Bieber became the first to refuse to take part in Sharon's evacuation of the Gaza Strip was motivated by a love of the G-d-given Land of Israel.

As violent scuffles ensued, Avi, who according to his father did not plan on publicly refusing orders, felt compelled to cry out against the beating of the protesters, young and old alike. “Soldiers do not beat Jews! A Jew does not expel a Jew!” Bieber cried out and refused orders after seeing his officers beating Jewish residents. He was immediately relieved of his weapon and taken into custody.

Twelve of his comrades have now refused orders as well.

Washington D.C.

Its a quagmire I tell ya!

If you consider that there have been an average of 160,000 troops in theater in Iraq during the last 22 months, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000.

The rate in DC is 80.6 per 100,000. That means that you are more likely to be shot and killed in our Nation's Capitol, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation, than you are in Iraq.

Conclusion: We should immediately pull out of Washington.

France Fights AIDS

AIDS in France is increasing. It seems the last year's AIDS Prevention Program, featuring Superman and Wonderwoman, was not so very effective.

No wonder this campaign was not effective, my first thought when I saw these... "hey - they look French!" My second thought was... "hey - how did they get Michael Jackson into that Wonder Woman costume?"

All jokes aside, these are desperate times and in response, France has launched a new AIDS prevention program. But first... the requisite poof-boy quote:

"A vicious terrorist is out there. It is not Osama bin Laden, it is AIDS. The biggest threat to our livelihood, our happiness is AIDS." - so says Richard Gere.

Well, all I can say to poof-boy is that people volunteer for AIDS every day with inappropriate sexual behavior. Its a far cry from bomb belts and flying airplanes into buildings. But... I digress. Enough about poof-boy and back to France... As I said, France has launched a new AIDS Prevention Program and I hope you're ready for the visual. We're not talking gerbils here:

These posters have appeared all over the streets of France. As if we needed another reason to avoid France and French people.

I cross-posted this over at Vince Aut Morire. I hope he forgives me.

Foreign Invaders Win Again

The Bush administration acknowledged yesterday that it prefers to provide healthcare to illegal foreign invaders of this Country, rather than provide healthcare to those men and women who served this Country in the United States Military.

That's right. According to recent news articles, the administration is short at least $1 billion for covering the healthcare needs for our Veterans this year, while it spends the same $1 billion to provide healthcare to illegal immigrants. Yup, we are spending that money to provide illegal immigrants with free healthcare and short changing our Veterans to do it.

But, if you think that this is bad, the reality is worse, much worse. It seems that the administration is touting legislature that would provide a $1.6 billion increase in VA healthcare spending. Sounds good? Well, reality is that $1 billion of the so-called 'increase' will come from cutting other VA medical accounts: $533 million from the medical administration account, $417 million from medical facilities and $9 million from medical and prosthetics research.

This is our tax dollars at work, and it really pisses me off.

The Genetics of a Moonbat

There have been many definitions and descriptions of what makes a "moonbat" a moonbat:

"Irrational and mentally unstable persons of a decidedly liberal political affiliation."

"Someone on the extreme edge of whatever their -ism happens to be."

"Wild-eyed hippy tree-hugging ueberliberals. Someone who sacrifices sanity for the sake of consistency"

Still, even if you don't know what a moonbat is, surely you will know what one looks like:

But, If you really want to know what a moonbat is, you will have to go to an expert, and that would be the Skipper of Barking Moonbat Early Warning System.

Lots of additional information about moonbats and their antics can be found at Moonbattery.

And now, thanks to advanced, scientific research, we find out that while what the Skipper says is true, they are indeed moonbats, it turns out that its not their fault.

That's right. It turns out they are moonbats because of a genetic defect for which they are not responsible, and in fact, they can blame their parents for it, like everyone else. In true David Berkowitz tradition (of course, David blamed the neighbor's dog for his decidedly anti-social behavior as Son-as-Sam but its really the same thing), moonbats can now blame someone else for their insanity.

So, next time you are confronted by a dirty, smelly, ranting, raving, flag burning, patchouli reeking, troop hating, Bush bashing, liberal moonbat, don't blame it for its anti-social, anti-American behavior.

Blame their parents for the fact that they betray, prostitute, corrupt, shame, and weaken this nation time and time again.

Liberalism... its not just a mental disease, its a genetic mental disease.

Should we be concerned? I think not. After all, every year in the United States of America, these dirty, smelly, ranting, raving, flag burning, patchouli reeking, troop hating, Bush bashing, pro-choice liberal moonbats kill off 1.3 million of their own offspring as a matter of convenience.

So, if the mental disease known as liberalism is indeed genetic, eventually, and hopefully, the moonbat will kill itself off and inconvenience us no more.

Let 'em eat cat food!

This week, the Florida Democrat Party sent a strong message to Florida's seniors:

Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow

Yes, under the leadership of former Florida Democratic Party President and wanna-be Governor Scott Maddox, $900,000.00 has mysteriously disappeared, leaving Florida's Democrat party unable to pay its Social Security obligations, as well as its payroll taxes. And so, the IRS has put liens on the measly $98,000.00 left in the account after the disappearing act.

Leon County committeeman Jon Ausman, who is also a member of the party's budget and finance committee, said the party's 2003 year-end audit showed $609,032 cash on hand. He said it netted $586,986 in 2004 when it raised about $18 million.

I don't know how you start out with $609,000 and raise a net of $586,000 and end up with $269,000," he said. "It's very important that we reassure our donor base and all the Democrats that we're on top of this situation," Ausman said.

Not to worry, State vice-chair Diane Glasser is right on top of that, with these reassuring words: "We've had these problems before," Glasser said.

and... Glasser has the solution... "I think that everything will resolve itself. Karen has already got commitments for money that is going to be coming into the party."

There you have it! Don't worry Florida, The Democratic Party has a plan!

Meow.

A Day in the Life...

Club Gitmo you know...

7:30 A.M. Woke up to the blaring sounds of Infatuation by Christina Aguilara. While I can certainly say that it is lyrically pleasing and certainly worthy of a booty shake, I just wish that she wasn't such a dirty Imperialist Christian swine. Death be upon her. Praise be to Allah.

The latest moronic Left-Wing smear attack

What could possibly be worse than having your hands, and/or feet chopped off, your wife and children raped to death before your eyes, being dipped feet first into a vat of acid, being dragged through the streets behind a car, being shot, stabbed, whipped with chains, tied to a tree and beaten with a stick, electocuted, or, a combination of the above and then being killed and dumped into a mass grave?

How about...

- receiving three nutritious halal meals (culturally-appropriate and in accordance with Islamic dietary law) per day, including all optional condiments.

- receiving Muslim feast meals at special times in accordance with Muslim feasts and holy periods during the year.

- receiving unrestricted access to Muslim Imams and religious instruction.

- receiving a Quibla, a large green and white sign in his cell which points toward Mecca.

- hearing Islamic loudspeaker calls to prayer five times daily.

- receiving a brand new Muslim prayer cap.

- receiving a brand new prayer rug.

- receiving brand new Islamic prayer beads. Each illegal enemy combatant detainee received Islamic holy oil.

Sounds awful, don't it? Yes, at Guantanamo Bay, each terrorist detainee receives all of that, and at US taxpayer expense! Never mind that this is far, far in excess of requirements delineated by Geneva Convention Cat. III protocols on the treatment of Prisoners of War. source.

Oh the horror! Just think, the food served to the terrorist detainees and terrorist suspects held at Gitmo is far better in many cases than the food being served to our troops in the Armed Services.

That's right! Congressional decree prevents the military from serving MRE’s (Meals Ready to Eat – vacuum packed sealed food bags served to U.S. troops) to detainees because it would be considered "abuse."

Instead, in the past week the anti-American terrorists and terrorist suspects held at Gitmo have been tortured with:

*Orange Glazed Chicken
*Rice Pilaf
*Steamed Peas & Mushrooms
*Fruit Roupee

As noted above, the terrorist detainees are provided prayer mats and prayer oils and are allowed to pray five times per day – something that even U.S. schoolchildren are forbidden from doing.

Sigh. With such atrocities occurring each and every day at Gitmo, of course we can expect outrage and of course, we get it from our enemies.

Yes, we have come to expect this kind of crap from terrorists like Ameen Al-Sheikh, a Syrian who said he went to Iraq to oppose the U.S. occupation. Al-Sheikh, who was captured with AK-47 assault rifles, grenades and bomb-making material. Al-Skeikh, who is well known in Abu Ghraib for having once obtained a gun from an Iraqi guard and exchanged fire with American soldiers. Al-Sheikh, who should have been shot while trying to escape.

Al-Sheikh said he was forced to eat pork and drink alcohol. He says a US Soldier pissed on him. Aw jeepers. Now you're making me cry. Al-Sheikh travels from Syria to kill Americans and ends up being pissed on by one. That's just too f'ing bad! You should have stayed in Syria you dumb shit.

Yes, we have come to expect this kind of crap from our enemies:

'The torture that was so bad under Saddam, is equally bad under U.S. command.'--Markos Moulitsas, on DailyKos yesterday.

Markos, you are an asshole and the graphic images posted at the Jawa Report more than prove that simple fact.

It is good to know who our enemies are.

Still waiting...

Its been one hundred and forty-two days since The Great Pretender promised to sign his 180 and yes, that's twenty-two days longer than Kerry "served" in Vietnam.

MR. RUSSERT: Would you sign Form 180?

SEN. KERRY: Yes, I will.

And yet... During an interview with the Boston Globe, Kerry was asked if had signed Form SF 180, authorizing the Department of Defense to grant access to all his military records. And Kerry said...

"I have signed it," Kerry said. Then, he added that his staff was "still going through it" and "very, very shortly, you will have a chance to see it."

Well, I'd like to see your signed 180 John, show it to me. Show me that you allowed for full disclosure, John. Show me that you checked the box for an "undeleted report of separation," John, and not the one that deletes that information.

Did you release all of your records John, or did you keep some secret?

Alas and alas... Kerry's 180 is still MIA and all over America a cry has gone out - a cry that has fallen on deaf ears.

Come on John. The Globe says the records you authorized to be released were pretty much the same ones they already had. The Navy said they had over 100 pages they could not release without your authorization.

Inquiring minds want to know, John, what type of discharge did you get, John, and how did that discharge change after Carter pardoned all draft dodgers and traitors to this country?

It's been thirty-two days since you said you signed it John Kerry, thirty-two days since you said we could see it. We want to see it, John. Where is your 180?? Show it to us.

Got news for you John, releasing your grades won't throw us off the truth trail... although it proves that you're the slacker we said you are. Still, proving you're a slacker ain't enough John, we want to prove you are low-life scum sucking piece of shit liar and we are not going to let this one go.

Sorry John, but you can't lie, cheat or weasel your way out of it. Why? Because, as we all know, John F. Kerry, you are a low-life scum sucking piece of shit liar, and a slacker. So. My vow stands. I will write that low-life scum sucking piece of shit liar every Tuesday for the rest of his lying scum sucking piece of shit life.

I will send the low-life scum sucking piece of shit liar an email reminding him of his promise to America and demanding that he set his 180 free!

John Kerry said we could see his 180, make him keep that promise to America. Raise your voice people, let The Great Pretender know how you feel about lies and broken promises, and... if you are a blogger, join us in spreading the word every Tuesday, the more the merrier!!

Suffer the Children

"I imagine that it's not the dream of Palestinian mothers to see their children become suicide bombers." - Condoleeza Rice

With his mother’s encouragement ringing in his ears, Mohammed Farhat attacked a Jewish seminary, killing five young students before he received his desired "martyrdom" at the hands of Israeli soldiers. His mother later stated in an interview that she "always longed to be the mother of a shahid (martyr) ... let all my sons be shahids."

The New York Times reported in March of 2004, this is not an unusual sentiment: "Many Palestinian parents have praised their sons and daughters for carrying out suicide attacks, hailing them as heroes and martyrs."

17-year-old Iyad al Masri died when the suicide bomb strapped to his body exploded prematurely killing only himself. His family expressed outrage and demanded an investigation, not of the decision to recruit a 17 year old boy for a suicide operation, but of the poor planning that left "no chance of success ". They complained that he was sent during a time of curfew on the city and their son had no experience leaving the city during a curfew "which made it impossible for him to reach his target."

After a 22-year-old suicide bomber two months earlier killed 21 Israelis at a Tel Aviv discotheque, his father announced: "I am very happy and proud of what my son did and, frankly, am a bit jealous... I wish I had done it myself."

Another Palestinian mother was quoted in the London Times: "I am happy that [my 13-year-old son] has been martyred. I will sacrifice all my [12] sons and daughters to Al-Aqsa and Jerusalem."

Hiba Daraghmeh was a suicide bomber. She detonated the explosives around her waist outside the Amakim Shopping Mall in the northern Israeli town of Afula, killing three Israelis and wounding 48. And Hiba's family say they are proud of her.

A video released by Hamas shows a proud mother taking up arms beside her favorite son. As he prepared to go off and commit suicide in order to kill some Jews, she said "This is the best day of my life."

The mother of the first female Palestinian suicide bomber has said she is proud of her daughter and hopes more women will follow her example.

On March 5, 2003, Mahmoud Hamdan Kwasma detonated the explosives belt he was wearing inside an Israeli bus, in the city of Haifa. Sixteen Israelis, including Arabs and Druze young people, were murdered. Scores more were wounded, many of them schoolchildren and students. Many of the injured remain in critical condition. The mother of the suicide bomber, described as "Um Shadi," praised her son's deeds, and refused to act as if in mourning. "I am proud of my son's deed" said she.

Appearing on NBC's Meet the Press, Condoleezza Rice said:

"What does that picture of a baby dressed as a suicide bomber say about the hopes of Palestinians for life with the Israeli people as good neighbors? You know, we've all, in our lives, had experiences with hatred. I certainly have in Birmingham, Alabama. And it all starts with recognizing that the other person is human and deserves a future. If you're going to send your babies and your teenagers to kill other teenagers, something has broken down in this concept of humanity."

So, Condi, when did you decide to consort with terrorists and reward them for the murder of innocent people? Indeed, it would appear that something has broken down in your concept of humanity.

Posted by LindaSoG at 01:03 PM | Comments (4)

Surprise!

Surprise: As Israel continues its plan to appease the Islamic death cults by relinquishing Israeli sovereignty, Condi Rice chastised Israel's efforts towards peace once again.

Surprise: The IDF and the Shabak (General Security Services) arrested an Islamic Jihad terrorist who was planning an attack in Israel. Turns out this terrorist was among the hundreds of prisoners released by Israel last February in its terrorist appeasement efforts.

Surprise: Palestinians fired Kassam rockets at Jewish communities in northern Gaza but they didn't manage to kill any Jews this time.

Surprise: Four Palestinians were wounded - one shot - in clashes with Israeli citizens near the Gaza community of Neveh Dekalim.

Surprise: The Palestinian Interior Ministry immediately condemned Israel for allowing its citizens to defend themselves, while neglecting to condemn the Kassam rocket attack.

Surprise: Near Jenin (Samaria), security forces uncovered a bomb factory and neutralized 50 kilograms of ready to use explosives.

Surprise: Sixteen year old Halil Hashash was apprehended by soldiers at the Hawarah Checkpoint south of Shechem with five pipe bombs readied for detonation, complete with shrapnel to maximize devastation when detonated.

Surprise: A 23-year-old Upper Nazareth area resident was shot and lightly wounded this morning after he began stoning Jews on G’dud HaIvri Street in Tel Aviv.

Surprise: An IDF Soldier fell victim today to a terrorist shooting attack in southern Gaza. He died of his injuries in Soroka Medical Center in Be’er Sheva.

Appalling, ain't it?

"PETA seeks to solve the animal overpopulation problem... we do not and will not hesitate to roll up our sleeves and do the dirty work at our own expense." - PETA

Two employees of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals have been charged with animal cruelty after dumping dead dogs and cats in a shopping center garbage bin, police said.

Investigators staked out the bin after discovering that dead animals had been dumped there every Wednesday for the past four weeks, Ahoskie police said in a prepared statement Thursday.

Police found 18 dead animals in the bin and 13 more in a van registered to PETA. The animals were from animal shelters in Northampton and Bertie counties, police said.

Police charged Andrew Benjamin Cook, 24, of Virginia Beach, Va., and Adria Joy Hinkle, 27, of Norfolk, Va., each with 31 felony counts of animal cruelty and eight misdemeanor counts of illegal disposal of dead animals. They were released on bond and an initial court date was set for Friday.

So... Ingrid Newkirk, founder of PETA, "doubts Hinkle had ever been cruel to an animal." Still, Newkirk suspended Hinkle, but kept Cook on the payroll and said if the animals were placed in the bin, "We will be appalled."

"A rat is a pig is a dog is a boy, they're all mammals."
-- Ingrid Newkirk, Washington Post, August 29, 1999

So Ingrid, according to your own views, what your minions did here is the equivalent to dumping human beings in the dumpster.

Indeed Ingrid, it is appalling and we are appalled.

Survey said...

What happens when 134 democrats hold a poll?

"Richland County Democrats held the nation’s first straw poll for the 2008 presidential race Wednesday and the surprise winner was U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York."

"Clinton got 44 votes to 34 for Edwards. Virginia Gov. John Warner came in third with 32 votes and U.S. Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware got 24 votes."

Um... that would be Gov. Mark Warner, stupid.

Meanwhile, Rasmussen reports that 44% of Americans consider Hillary as a liberal and, 33% of Americans view it as a moderate while 7% believe it is politically conservative. Before the Beast launched an effort to moderate perceptions of her political views, 51% believed that liberal was the right label for her political views.

Finally... according to Rasmussen, if the Beast runs for President in 2008, 30% of Americans say they would definitely vote for her and 36% would definitely vote against her.

They call it a "Love Crusade"

Calling it another "Love Crusade," Reverend Fred Phelps and his minions showed up at the funeral of Cpl. Carrie French to say that God killed her, and will continue killing American soldiers.

"God killed Cpl. Carrie French with an improvised explosive device in retaliation against the United States for a bombing at Phelps' church six years ago." - the not-so Reverend Fred Phelps

Bubblehead reports:

These asshats were out to protest against the funeral of CPL Carrie French in her hometown of Caldwell, Idaho.

At 1252, the blue-shirted protester, probably Phelps' son, shouted at a carload of soldiers turning into the parking lot, "Watch out for IEDs!" After this, he started shouting "French is in Hell" to everyone who passed. On two occasions, he shouted this to young women who appeared to be the right age to be Carrie's classmates. Their mothers had to restrain them; I talked to one who walked by afterwards, tears streaming down her face as she sobbed "Those bastards", and I told her that I'd do my best to tell the world what horrible people these are. The other young woman so accosted just yelled "F*ck you!" back at the protesters; the protesters just laughed.

They were doing a lot of laughing. The old man had about four signs (including "Thank God for 9/11", "Thank God for IEDs", "Fag Troops" and "U.S.A. Sin = 9/11") that he held up in turn; the "son" had an "America is Doomed" sign, and the wife? daughter? had "God Hates Fags" and "Fags Doom Nations".

Tis true that I am just an ignorant Jewish Girl from Brooklyn, but still, I am sure there is a very special place in hell reserved for those like Reverend Phelps, who use the name of God to preach such hatred.

Revered Phelps, I hope you get there soon. The world will be a better place when you do.

Set the Truth Free!

Its been one hundred and thirty-five days since The Great Pretender promised to sign his 180 and yes, that's fifteen days longer than Kerry "served" in Vietnam.

Alas and alas... Kerry's 180 is still MIA and all over America a cry has gone out - a cry that has fallen on deaf ears.

Inquiring minds want to know, John, what type of discharge did you get, John, and how did that discharge change after Carter pardoned all draft dodgers and traitors to this country?

It's been twenty-five days since you said you signed it John Kerry, twenty-five days since you said we could see it. We want to see it, John. Where is your 180?? Show it to us.

I will send the low-life scum sucking piece of shit liar an email reminding him of his promise to America and demanding that he set his 180 free!

FREE KERRY'S 180!!!!!!!!!

Palestinian Acceptance Program

Dear Concerned Country:

Thank you for your criticism of the treatment of the hodge podge of arabs currently occupying Israeli land.

Israel takes these matters seriously, and your opinion was heard loud and clear. You'll be pleased to learn that, thanks to the concerns of Countries like yours, we are creating the "Palestinian Acceptance Program," to be implemented immediately.

In accordance with the guidelines of this new program, we will place Palestinians in various Countries around the world, in order that they might receive the fair and equitable treatment suggested by those Countries in their condemnations of Israel.

Your Country will receive several hundred thousand Palestinians, the number of which will be proportionate to number of condemnations you have voiced against Israel. Yes, your Palestinians have been already been selected and scheduled for transportation under heavily armed guard to your Country's border next Monday.

These Palestinians are to be accepted as full citizens of your Country in accordance with the demands made in your condemnations of Israel.

Weekly inspections will take place to ensure that your standards of care for these Palestinians are commensurate with those you so strongly recommended in your condemnations of Israel. Although these Palestinians are sociopaths and extremely violent, we hope that your sensitivity to what you described as their "natural reaction to oppression" will help them overcome these character flaws.

Jews and Christians are offensive to your Palestinians, and you will therefore be required to relocate any and all such Jews and Christians from your Country to a place far away enough so as not to offend the sensibilities of your Palestinians, you might want to consider transporting them to the moon. Failure to do so will result in the immediate declaration of an intifada, and the lives (and the land) of all your citizens will be forfeit.

The declaration of an intifada means that the Palestinians are now allowed to kill as many of your citizens as possible, using any and all ways and means available. In accordance with your condemnation of Israel for taking actions to protect her citizens from murder, you may not make any attempt to deter your Palestinians from slaughtering your citizens in great numbers, and you must to allow them to do so without any hinderance. In fact, you may want to provide them with bus passes. Failure to do so will also result in the immediate declaration of yet another intifada.

Your Palestinians will be making a wide variety of explosive devices from common household products, so you will be required to keep those items readily available so as to not offend their murderous religious beliefs. Failure to do so will result in the immediate declaration of another intifada.

In accordance with Palestinian religious beliefs, one of the first things your Palestinians will want to do upon their arrival in your Country will be to destroy any and all places of worship in your Country and to build a mosque on top of the land where they once stood. All religious books other than the Koran will be burned or otherwise destroyed. Any attempt to stop them will also result in the immediate declaration of another intifada.

You would do well to remember that once the mosque is standing, none of your citizens will permitted to enter the grounds, lest they defile such a holy place. Should any citizen of your Country who is not a Palestinian step foot on the spot, another intifada will be declared.

Your Palestinains will also smuggle additional weapons and arabs from other countries to support the intifada(s) and help them kill your citizens. Any such arabs who manage to sneak into your borders to kill your citizens will immediately be considered just another one of your Palestinians. Construction of a border fence to keep them out and/or the failure to make these new Palestinians welcome in your Country will result in the immediate declaration of another intifada.

Of course, some Palestinians prefer to murder by stoning, this is part and parcel of their religious beliefs and you must allow it. You should therefore provide easily accessible piles of rocks for this purpose, failure to do so would certainly offend their religious beliefs and result in the immediate declaration of another intifada.

We expect that you will offer your Palestinians their own state within your Country, as you demanded that Israel do. We also expect that in order to establish the Palestinian State within your Country, you will remove a number of your citizens from their homes and businesses and put those citizens in tents, caravans and/or jail if they resist, in order to provide your Palestinians with the free housing they deserve. Failure to do so will also result in the immediate declaration of another intifada.

Thanks again for your concern. We truly appreciate it when Countries like yours, who are so knowledgeable, keep us informed of the proper way to appease terrorists.

You take good care of your Palestinians - and remember... we'll be watching. Good luck!

The Citizens of Israel

Google - Liberal censorship at its worst

In a disgusting and despicable show of liberal bias, Google, which honors every holiday under the sun, including World Water Day and International Women's Day, chose not to update its logo for Memorial Day. It was an unforgivable slight against the men and women of the United States Military who gave their lives defending Freedom.

So? Continuing its anti-American, liberal agenda, Google blocks ad for anti-Clinton book.

"A conservative book publisher says the search engine giant Google rejected his ad for a book critical of Bill and Hillary Clinton while continuing to accept anti-Bush themes."

"...the company continues to run ads for overtly liberal advertisers with headlines such as "Hate Bush? So Do We," and "George W. Bush fart doll."

"Last month, Google, valued recently at $80 billion, rejected an attempt by the conservative activist group RightMarch.com to run ads critical of Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., while continuing to run attack ads against besieged House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas."

Same Shit - Different Day

"Israel's current actions are paving the way for a third intifada." - Palestinian Authority Civil Affairs Minister Mohammed Dahlan, June 9, 2005

And a fourth, and a fifth, and a sixth, until they have killed all the Jews and wiped Israel off the world's map. and then...

"... the march of resistance will continue until the Islamic flag is raised, not only on the minarets of Jerusalem, but over the whole universe..." - Hamas leader Mahmoud Zahar, January 13, 2005

"We have ruled the world before, and by Allah, the day will come when we will rule the entire world again. The day will come when we will rule America. The day will come when we will rule Britain and the entire world..." Sheik Ibrahim Mudeiris, May 13, 2005

"Sons of Islam everywhere, the jihad is a duty - to establish the rule of Allah on earth and to liberate your countries and yourselves from America's domination and its Zionist allies, it is your battle - either victory or martyrdom."

"Muslims must prepare themselves for a long battle because this century is the century of Islam, its ability and its victory."

- Sheikh Ahmad Yassin

Is anyone listening? It appears not.

Code-Name: Opera

June 7th, 1981

Thanks to the 1979 Revolution that toppled the Shah of Iran, Israel's air force was able to secure some of the 75 F-16s originally ordered by Iran from the United States.

Israel had learned that Iraq was about to receive a shipment of enriched uranium for its reactor near Baghdad -- enough to build four or five Hiroshima-size bombs, the reactor was 600 miles from Israel. Then Prime Minister Menachem Begin ordered the attack to occur before the uranium arrived and the reactor went "hot," at which point bombing would have scattered radioactive waste over Baghdad.

Eight Israeli F-16’s took off in the late afternoon from an Israeli air base in the Sinai. Behind them six Israeli F-15’s took off, as well, to provide cover for a very special and important mission. Flying low and in a tight formation, the fighter jets passed through Jordanian and Saudi Arabian airspace undetected.

Finally, the jets enter Iraqi airspace. At 5:35 in the evening, about an hour and a half after the jets took off, they reach their target. Two minutes later Operation Opera comes to a successful conclusion. The Iraqi nuclear reactor, Osirak, has been totally destroyed.

Code-named Opera, the raid was a spectacular success.

While this operation was initially almost universally condemned by the world community, in retrospect this Israeli operation is highly praised by many.

Opera was not Israel's first preemptive act against Iraq's attempts to acquire nuclear weapons. In April 1979 unidentified saboteurs blew up reactor parts at a French port, parts awaiting shipment to Iraq. In August 1980 an Egyptian-born nuclear physicist important to Iraq's nuclear program was killed in Paris.

News of the audacious raid did not actually emerge until 24 hours later when Israel made its announcement. Only then did Iraq admit it had happened and express indignation.

One of the pilots involved was Ilan Ramon who trained as Israel's first astronaut but was killed in the Columbia shuttle disaster in 2003.

Thank you Israel!

Free Kerry's 180 - Day 18

Its been one hundred and twenty-eight days since John Kerry promised to sign his 180 and yes, that's eight days longer than Kerry "served" in Vietnam.

MR. RUSSERT: Would you sign Form 180?

SEN. KERRY: Yes, I will.

And yet... During an interview with the Boston Globe, Kerry was asked if had signed Form SF 180, authorizing the Department of Defense to grant access to all his military records. And Kerry said...

"I have signed it," Kerry said. Then, he added that his staff was "still going through it" and "very, very shortly, you will have a chance to see it."

But... where is it? It's been eighteen days since you said you signed it John Kerry, where is the 180?? Who has it? When will we see it? Alas and alas... Kerry's 180 is still MIA.

Did John Kerry sign his 180? I'll believe it when I see it.

All over America a cry has gone out - a cry that has fallen on deaf ears.

Did he sign it? Maybe. But if he did, he probably put it next to his "Plan for America" and that means we will never see it. That, or he likely used invisible ink, or he will never send the damn thing to the Navy. Why? Because, as we all know, John F. Kerry is a low-life scum sucking piece of shit liar.

So, today I sent yet another email to the low-life scum sucking piece of shit liar reminding him of his promise to America.

My vow stands. I will write that low-life scum sucking piece of shit liar every Tuesday for the rest of his lying scum sucking piece of shit life.

I will send the low-life scum sucking piece of shit liar an email reminding him of his promise to America and demanding that he set his 180 free!

Raise your voice, let John Kerry know how you feel about broken promises. Feel free to join in... and... if you are a blogger, join us in spreading the word every Tuesday, the more the merrier!!

FREE KERRY'S 180!!!!!!!!!

Invasion of Normandy

Order of the Day - June 6, 1944

click to hear it!

Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Forces: You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you. In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other Fronts you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world.

Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle-hardened. He will fight savagely.

But this is the year 1944! Much has happened since the Nazi triumphs of 1940-41. The United Nations have inflicted upon the Germans great defeats, in open battle, man-to-man. Our air offensive has seriously reduced their strength in the air and their capacity to wage war on the ground. Our Home Fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting men. The tide has turned! The free men of the world are marching together to Victory!

I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full victory!

Good Luck! And let us all beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking.

-- General Dwight D. Eisenhower's message to the troops of the Allied Expeditionary Forces on June 6, 1944, the morning of the invasion.

The D-Day operation of June 6, 1944 brought together the land, air and sea forces of the allied armies in what became known as the largest invasion force in human history.

The operation, given the codename OVERLORD, delivered five naval assault divisions to the beaches of Normandy, France. The beaches were given the codenames UTAH, OMAHA, GOLD, JUNO and SWORD. The invasion force included 7,000 ships and landing craft manned by over 195,000 naval personnel from eight allied countries. Almost 133,000 troops from England, Canada and the United States landed on D-Day.

Casualties from the three countries during the landing numbered 10,300.

By June 30th, over 850,000 men, 148,000 vehicles, and 570,000 tons of supplies had landed on the Normandy shores. Fighting by the brave soldiers, sailors and airmen of the allied forces western front and Russian forces on the eastern front led to the defeat of German Nazi forces.

On May 7, 1945, German General Alfred Jodl signed an unconditional surrender at Reims, France.

Cop-Killer Caught

An intensive, international manhunt for a suspect gunman accused of killing one Denver police detective and wounding another came to an end with the arrest Saturday evening of Raul Garcia-Gomez in Mexico.

It pisses me off that the only time Mexico is interested in keeping its people in Mexico is when they are facing the death penalty for the murder of a U.S. citizen.

Son-of-a-bitch.

Ronald Wilson Reagan

"Whatever else history may say about me when I’m gone, I hope it will record that I appealed to your best hopes, not your worst fears; to your confidence rather than your doubts. My dream is that you will travel the road ahead with liberty’s lamp guiding your steps and opportunity’s arm steadying your way."

LIFE

I wonder what it's all about, and why
We suffer so, when little things go wrong?
We make our life a struggle,
When life should be a song.

Our troubles break and drench us,
Like spray on the cleaving prow
Of some trim Gloucester schooner
As it dips in a graceful bow.

Our troubles break and drench us
But like that cleaving prow,
The wind will fan and dry us.
And we'll watch some other bow.

But why does sorrow drench us
When our fellow passes on?
He's just exchanged life's dreary dirge
For an eternal life of song.

What is the inborn human trait
That frowns on a life of song?
That makes us weep at the journey's end,
When the journey was oft-times wrong?

Weep when we reach the door
That opens to let us in,
And brings to us eternal peace
As it closes again on sin.

Millions have gone before us,
And millions will come behind.
So why do we curse and fight
At a fate both wise and kind.

We hang onto a jaded life
A life full of sorrow and pain.
A life that warps and breaks us,
And we try to run through it again.

Ronald Reagan

Marriage Islam Style

Bride gang-raped after wedding

In Pakistan's tribal and rural Punjab, women are married without their consent in compensation for the crime committed by their male family members to settle the dispute under "Swara" and "Vani" customs.

Kaneez Kubra was married to Mujahid Hussain last month on the directives of Panchayat (local jury) after it found her brother guilty of having illicit relations with Mujahid's sister.

Immediately after the wedding, the bride was gang-raped by her groom's friends with her in-laws' consent in the southern part of Pakistan's Punjab province, a news report said on Monday.

The daily Times said Mujahid Hussain and his family allowed the bride, Kaneez Kubra, to be dishonoured in revenge for her brother's crime of having sexual relations with their daughter.

The bride's father, Ghulam Hussain, said four persons sexually assaulted his daughter in front of his son-in-law in his house in Punjab.

But her ordeal did not end there. Ghulam Hussain said on the following day she was taken to the residence of another friend and assaulted again.

I am sure Kaneez's brother learned his lesson. Sure, that'll teach him.

Of course, now that Kaneez Kubra has been raped and "dishonored" she will surely be killed by her own family, its the only way to restore the family's honor.

Mirror Mirror on the wall...

Who's the smartest of them all?

"The idea that some ethnic groups may, on average, be more intelligent than others is one of those hypotheses that dare not speak its name. But Gregory Cochran, a noted scientific iconoclast, is prepared to say it anyway. He is that rare bird, a scientist who works independently of any institution....

Together with Jason Hardy and Henry Harpending, of the University of Utah, he is publishing, in a forthcoming edition of the Journal of Biosocial Science, a paper which not only suggests that one group of humanity is more intelligent than the others, but explains the process that has brought this about.

The group in question are Ashkenazi Jews."

Read about it here, its rather interesting.

Yannow, I don't think about my Tay-Sachs gene much, does it make me smarter? Heh, I'd like to claim yes, but I can't.

I am more interested in the fact that one copy of the Sickle-Cell Anaemia gene won't make you sick but will cause an immunity to malaria... a very good thing for the West Africans, who are the only people susceptible to Sickle-Cell, and who also live in malaria country.

So. Does the Tay-Sachs gene cause a not yet identified immunity to certain other diseases? SARS maybe?

This question has been raised to me before, by people much smarter than I...

America's Tax Dollars

Gulag? Yeah. Right. A few little somethings Amnesty International forgot to mention...

The reporting by the main-stream media about what might or might not have occurred at Guantanamo has obscured the honest-to-God truth about the American way and that we practice what we preach, specifically as it relates to our constitutional guarantee of Freedom of Religion.

Not one of these illegal enemy combatant detainee's who came from Afghanistan had a Qur'an in his possession when captured.

A brand new Qur'an in the specific, native language of each individual was provided to each "enemy combatant".

Furthermore:

Each illegal enemy combatant detained at Guantanamo is given three nutritious halal meals (culturally-appropriate and in accordance with Islamic dietary law) per day. The meals include all optional condiments.

Each illegal enemy combatant detainee receives Muslim feast meals at special times in accordance with Muslim feasts and holy periods during the year.

Each illegal enemy combatant detainee has unrestricted access to Muslim Imams and religious instruction.

Each illegal enemy combatant detainee has a Quibla, a large green and white sign in his cell which points toward Mecca.

Each illegal enemy combatant detainee hears Islamic loudspeaker calls to prayer five times daily.

Each illegal enemy combatant detainee received a brand new Muslim prayer cap.

Each illegal enemy combatant detainee received a brand new prayer rug.

Each illegal enemy combatant detainee received brand new Islamic prayer beads. Each illegal enemy combatant detainee received Islamic holy oil.

Each illegal enemy combatant had ALL of this done and paid for him at US taxpayer expense and this is far, far in excess of requirements delineated by Geneva Convention Cat. III protocols on the treatment of Prisoners of War. Why is none of this information coming forth from the mainstream media?

America is overwhelmingly a Christian nation, and there has been not one word of taxpayer protest concerning the above facts, which are in essence a glaring omission of the first order by the hate-America first mass media of this country and the world at large.

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi Dead?

So, the Adnkronos International is reporting that a Fallujah Sheik by the name of Ammar Abdel Rahim Nasir has told the Saudi on-line newspaper Al-Medina that terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi died last Friday and is buried in Fallujah.

But we won't see this in the mainstream media:

Baghdad, 2 June (AKI) - The Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi - al-Qaeda's leader in Iraq - died on Friday and his body is in Fallujah's cemetary, an Iraqi Sunni sheikh, Ammar Abdel Rahim Nasir, has told the Saudi on-line newspaper Al-Medina. He claims that gunfights which broke out in Fallujah in the last few days involved militants trying to protect the insurgency leader's tomb from a group of American soldiers patrolling the area.

During a telephone conversation from the city of Fallujah with the Saudi newspaper, Nasir said al-Zarqawi was taken there after being injured in the city of Ramadi around three weeks ago, and may have been treated by two doctors who had worked with his aides in Baghdad. He said the two doctors had stopped a serious haemorrhage in al-Zarqawi's intestines, but that after his condition worsened last week, the militant died on Friday.

Nasir adds that in his will the insurgent leader left the order that no funeral should be held for him and the right to announce his death should be left to the al-Qaeda leadership in Afghanistan and Osama bin Laden.

The Al-Medina newspaper reports that it also called the headmaster of a school in Fallujah, who preferred to remain anonymous, but confirmed that many people in the city were aware of the fact that al-Zarqawi had recently been taken to the city.

Sheikh Nasir's claims appear to correspond with reports several weeks ago that al-Zarqawi had been injured and taken to Ramadi hospital for emergency treatment, and with messages on the Internet talking of two Arab doctors accompanying him. Al-Zarqawi was reported to have been seen at the hospital on April 27. The hospital's director told an Iraq-based newspaper that US troops later surrounded and raided the entire building, searching for the Jordanian militant.

Only two days ago, an audio message attributed to al-Zarqawi was posted on the Internet, in which he assured his followers that he had only been lightly injured. Following the message, the US defence secretary Donald Rumsfeld warned countries neighbouring Iraq not to give any medical assistance to al-Zarqawi. "Our current theory is that he is in Iraq," he said. "Were a neighbouring country to take him in and provide medical assistance or haven for him, they obviously would be associating themselves with a major linkage in the al-Qaeda network, and a person who has a great deal of blood on his hands," Rumsfeld continued. "And that's something that people would want to take note of."

Yes? No? We may never know the truth.

But then again, according to admitted liar, Seymour Hersh, Zarqawi doesn't even exist.

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi may be a “composite figure” and a propaganda creation of either Iraq’s Baathist insurgency or the U.S. government.

Jeepers. Someone should tell that to Nick Berg. And King Abdullah.

Guest Worker Program

Not to be confused with the Guest Terrorist Program:

Feds believe man brought 60 from terrorist state into U.S.

A smuggling ring specializing in bringing Iranians into the U.S. over the Mexico border has been broken up in an FBI sting operation.

A 39-year-old Iranian with permanent legal residency status who is suspected of having smuggled 60 other Iranians into the U.S. was arrested Thursday in Mesa, Ariz., according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.

The FBI began investigating Malhamdary after a source told immigration officials that Malhamdary had sought help getting false Mexican visas so he could bring Iranians into Mexico and then across the border into Arizona.

Federal prosecutors say Malhamdary had previously smuggled about 60 Iranians into the United States.

Let's just forget the fact that the 9/11 hijackings were done by 19 people.

Let's just forget the fact that this guy has smuggled three times as many Iranians into the country as it took to fly those planes into the World Trade Center and kill thousands of Americans.

Malhamdary flew to Tehran, Iran, in March, allegedly to get the passports of the Iranians he planned to smuggle into the United States through Mexico, Kellerman said in the statement.

In late March, the undercover agent was given three passports.
Malhamdary allegedly told the undercover agent in May that he had eight more people who wanted to be smuggled into the United States.

The undercover agent on Thursday met with Malhamdary and agreed to pick up three Iranians in Mexico City and then to bring them to Nogales, Mexico, and arrange to have them smuggled across the border, Kellerman said in his statement.

Never mind the fact that Zeayadali Malhamdary used fake Mexican visas to bring the Iranians to Mexico, and never mind the fact that our open border policies made it possible for them to stroll across the border into the United States along with the thousands of mexicans.

Never mind the fact they likely got tips on how to do so from the Fox government and that we likely provided them water in the desert, just in case the crossing made them thirsty.

FBI officials said they had no reason to believe there were any terrorist connections to the case.

Hey now, let's just forget the fact that Iran has long been designated a terrorist state by the U.S. State Department and FBI.

Forget all the facts and just accept that the President's ~~Welcome Mat for Terrorists~~, er, Guest Worker Program will help ~~illegal immigrants~~, er, ~~terrorists~~, um... Guest Workers ~~like Mohammed Atta~~, who are ~~armed and dangerous~~, er, ~~a threat to society~~, um... ~~hell-bent on destroying this Country and killing Americans~~, er... decent, hard working, energetic, ambitious, and optimistic people. They came to this country to ~~fly planes into buildings~~, er, ~~kill Americans~~, um... ~~destroy this Country from the inside out~~, er... help make America a stronger and better nation.

Yeah. That's the ticket. Move along now. Nothing to see here.
