Free John Kerry's 180!!
Its been one hundred and twenty-one days since John Kerry promised to sign his 180.
MR. RUSSERT: Would you sign Form 180?
SEN. KERRY: Yes, I will.
And suddenly... 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 eleven 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.
So? We are writing a bit of poetry to entertain ourselves while we wait. My bit of prose:
John Kerry, he is such a liar
I'll keep his feet to the fire
for a hero he is not
despite the medals he got
He's stuck in the honesty quagmireand there's this from Caosblog:
Mr. Kerry, you gave us your word
Which thousands of Americans heard
On meet the press tv
Won’t you set free
The records that you have incurred?Set that 180 free John Kerry
Before the nation gets even more scarey
You never can tell
What righwingers from hell
Can do if you don’t answer our query.Tom sent me this:
Free your ‘180′, John Kerry!
You said you’d release it, when queried…
We will never forget!
Your word is your debt!
Forever, you can’t keep it buried!and the one and only Trike gave us this:
Stack the wood ever higher
and keep the heat without tire
for such must be his lot
until through time he gets to rot
that wannabe-hasbeen Squire
Got a poem in ya? Send it here and I'll link you! Yes, feel free to join in the fun... and... if you are a blogger, join us in spreading the word every Tuesday, the more the merrier!!

Memorial Day 2005
The Sheepdogs
Most humans truly are like sheep
Wanting nothing more than peace to keep
To graze, grow fat and raise their young,
Sweet taste of clover on the tongue.
Their lives serene upon Life’s farm,
They sense no threat nor fear no harm.
On verdant meadows, they forage free
With naught to fear, with naught to flee.
They pay their sheepdogs little heed
For there is no threat; there is no need.
To the flock, sheepdog’s are mysteries,
Roaming watchful round the peripheries.
These fang-toothed creatures bark, they roar
With the fetid reek of the carnivore,
Too like the wolf of legends told,
To be amongst our docile fold.
Who needs sheepdogs? What good are they?
They have no use, not in this day.
Lock them away, out of our sight
We have no need of their fierce might.
But sudden in their midst a beast
Has come to kill, has come to feast
The wolves attack; they give no warning
Upon that calm September morning
They slash and kill with frenzied glee
Their passive helpless enemy
Who had no clue the wolves were there
Far roaming from their Eastern lair.
Then from the carnage, from the rout,
Comes the cry, “Turn the sheepdogs out!”
Thus is our nature but too our plight
To keep our dogs on leashes tight
And live a life of illusive bliss
Hearing not the beast, his growl, his hiss.
Until he has us by the throat,
We pay no heed; we take no note.
Not until he strikes us at our core
Will we unleash the Dogs of War
Only having felt the wolf pack’s wrath
Do we loose the sheepdogs on its path.
And the wolves will learn what we’ve shown before;
We love our sheep, we Dogs of War.

Nothing to Party About
So. The United Nations is planning its 60th Anniversary Party a little early. Perhaps they're afraid they won't make it until October 24, 2005. It seems that they're worried about who will attend the San Francisco gala event, and with good cause.
Sure would be nice if the President of United States backed up his comments on the United Nations by declining to attend any celebration of its existence, but I ain't holding my breath.
It was on October 24, 1945 that the United Nations came into existence as an instrument of peace with a vision to make the world a better place for succeeding generations - a world where nations are at peace with one another, where people's human rights are protected, where the equal rights of men and women are guaranteed, where the rule of law is observed and respected, and social progress and better standards of life are ensured for all.
Sadly, the United Nations has not only failed miserably, but has become a protector of terrorists and a supporter of the regimes which breed them.
When the President of the United States spoke to the United Nations in October of 2004, he spoke of the need for change and called for a new course of action against the threat of terrorism, to stop the killing of school children in Russia, the beheading of construction workers in Iraq, the murder by suicide bombers. He spoke of how, rather than engineers, doctors, scientists and social workers, the Muslim world has become the world's largest exporter of hatred and murder. He spoke of how Muslim equality for women has emerged under the guise of female suicide bombers. He spoke of the consequences of terrorism that have been perpetuated by the Muslim world for over a decade in New York, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Kenya, Tanzania, and Bali, Jakarta, Moscow, Madrid and Istanbul.
The President urged action against terrorism, admitting that "for too long, many nations, including my own, tolerated, even excused, oppression in the Middle East in the name of stability." He promised to implement the radical changes that would lead to freedom, to take the fight to the enemy instead of waiting for them to come to us. He acknowledged that it would not be easy and he urged the world to unite in the effort.
What effect could such powerful words have when most of those oppressors, most of those violators of human rights and decency, most of those dictators that our President was referring to in his speech sat before him as members in good standing of the United Nations?
Sitting on UN Commission on Human Rights are some of the world's worst mass murderers and violators of the very human rights they are supposed to protect, including Cameroon, China, Congo (DRC), Cuba, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, Uganda, Vietnam, and Zimbabwe. The Chairman of the Commission is one of the worst human rights offenders, Libya. These are the very same human rights violators that the Commission is supposed to investigate and expose.
No wonder, then, that the UN has failed to even criticize China's human rights violations, failed to even discuss slave labor when the former Soviet Union existed, failed to even consider the sale of white women and children in Saudi Arabia, failed to investigate the denial of the most basic human rights to women in Asia and Arab countries, and failed to examine the slave trade in Arab countries.
In 2004, the Commission has voted against "special observation" of Zimbabwe's violations of human rights; and for the upgrading of the human rights status of Sudan, even while its dictatorship is committing genocide against its southern black Christians, carrying on slavery, and approving of systematic rape.
Consider the actions of Commission member Cuba. Castro had thrown into prison seventy-five dissidents, including journalists and librarians; and it had executed three men who hijacked a ferryboat to escape from this communist hellhole. No matter. The Commission reelected Cuba to another three-year term, "undoubtedly a recognition of the Cuban Revolution's work in human rights in favor of all our people," so Cuba proclaimed.
Ever careful to protect itself and its member dictatorships, the UN went so far as to terminate its relationship with the free speech organization Reporters Without Borders after it criticized the UN's human rights record. Reporters Without Borders had the audacity to suggest reforms that included the restricting of voting by dictatorships and claimed "that granting the chair to Qadhafi's [Libyan] regime has been a disgrace to the commission." The Commission voted 27 to 23 to suspend its relationship with the organization. All of the democratic members voted against it.
As Victor Davis Hanson said in the Wall Street Journal, "It is not the same United Nations of decades past, helping the poor nations with hunger, and sending troops around the world to keep the peace. Gone are the days when UNESCO and UNICEF provided selfless service around the world to fight disease and famine. Now it is a political body with a different agenda. Its membership is rife with tyrannies, theocracies and Stalinist regimes."
Immediately prior to the President's October 2004 speech, Kofi Anan declared the Iraq War illegal to a BBC reporter. No surprise, considering that at the time of Iraq's blatant defiance of the United Nations resolutions on its weapons of mass destruction, one of Saddam Hussein's henchmen chaired the May sessions of the UN Conference. No surprise considering Kofi Anan's participation the Oil for Food scandal currently under investigation. No surprise considering the UN was silent while Saddam Hussein starved, tortured, maimed and murdered his own people.
Indeed, the UN was silent while Slobodan Milosevic methodically practiced ethnic cleansing in his country. The UN was silent while the Taliban systematically murdered their own people, repressed all human rights, and enslaved women. The UN was silent while in Rwanda and Burundi, half a million lives were lost in civil war.
The UN was silent while 800,000 people were murdered in 1994 during a systematic genocide organized by the Hutu government, and carried out against the Tutsi minority by its troops, police, and specially trained death squads. In 1999, an independent report condemned the UN's reluctance to accept evidence of a genocide, and reluctance to act once the genocide was undeniable.
The UN was silent while in North Korea hundreds of thousands have been murdered in the last decade, and possibly three million have been starved to death in a government created famine.
The UN was silent while 8,000 Muslim men and boys were murdered in Srebrenica, Bosnia, during the Bosnian war of 1995. Another UN commissioned report on this asserted that the UN peacekeepers stood by while Serb troops massacred those to whom the UN had promised protection. The UN had refused to reinforce their peacekeepers with enough troops, and even then severely restricted the action of those that were there.
The UN was silent while over three million were killed in the Democratic Republic of the Congo with UN peacekeepers standing by and watching.
And the UN remains silent through the genocide in Sudan.
By its own admission in the Report of the Panel on UN Peace Operation, the UN recognized that its peacekeeping efforts have failed. It undertook peacekeeping in only a third of the conflicts during the 1990s, and when the UN did do something, it failed or was not effective.
The United Nations is still "investigating" about 150 allegations of sexual abuse by its staff and soldiers in the Congo. The charges include accusations of pedophilia, rape and prostitution, some of which have been recorded on videotape.
"I am afraid there is clear evidence that acts of gross misconduct have taken place," said Secretary-General Kofi Annan.
Although it promises a full investigation and to hold those involved accountable, the fact is that the UN has never been open or honest and has been known to ignore evidence in the past – including accusations of rape and murder by "peacekeepers."
And yet, the UN raises its voice, loud and clear, in consistent and constant condemnation of Israel. In the last few decades, more than half of the UN resolutions passed were against Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East. Israel scores as high as the United States, Canada, and United Kingdom on political rights. On civil liberties, Israel scores much higher than the dictatorship members of the UN. Yet Israel remains only UN member excluded from participation in every UN committee, having been rejected for membership on the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child, UN Human Rights Committee, UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women, UN Racial Discrimination Committee.
Consider the dictatorships of Algeria, China, Libya, Saudi Arabia, and Syria, all of whom are members of the UN Commission on Human Rights. The dictatorship of Egypt is a member of all six UN committees concerned with human rights treaties. The dictatorships of Libya, Saudi Arabia, and Sudan participate on the Governing Council of the International Labor Organization. The bloody dictatorship of Iran is on the five-member UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention.
Dictatorships who treat women as second class citizens or slaves like Egypt, Iran, Sudan and the United Arab Emirates are all members of the UN Commission on the Status of Women.
"So Americans' once gushy support for the U.N. during its adolescence is gone. By the 1970s we accepted at best that it had devolved into a neutral organization in its approach to the West, and by the 1980s sighed that it was now unabashedly hostile to freedom. But in our odyssey from encouragement, to skepticism, and then to hostility, we have now reached the final stage--of indifference. Americans do not get riled easily, so the U.N. will go out with a whimper rather than a bang. Indeed, millions have already shrugged, tuned out, and turned the channel on it." - Victor Davis Hanson
Happy Birthday United Nations, may this one be your last.

Woe Unto Thee America
Today, the United States of America welcomes a terrorist to the White House. Our President, George W. Bush, will sell out this Country, Israel, and G-d, in a deal with the devil.
"This plan will lead to Israel standing against waves and waves of terrorists, drunk with the victory of our withdrawal. This is perhaps the first, and most important strategic victory for terrorism, and the gaining of land for a terror state.
And against who will they achieve this victory? Against the country which raised the first banner in the war against terrorism. And this country is now teaching the world what surrender is." -- NRP Chairman Efit Eitam
Abu Mazen, Arafat, Saddam Hussein, the Taliban, and the entire cult of Islam has been killing the innocent since time out of mind, nothing new here.
Nothing less than the death or enslavement of every single American will ever satisfy Islamists. This is not new and has nothing to do with Israel, which is considered by Islam to be the "Little Satan" that must be destroyed before they can destroy the "Big Satan" that is America.
"... the march of resistance will continue until the islamic flag is raised not only over the minarets of Jerusalem but over the whole universe... "
Hamas Leader Mahmoud Zahar, January 16, 2004
Today, President George W. Bush will welcome a monster to America.
Woe unto thee, America, for you have no idea what the consequences of these actions will mean in the future, for what is happening in Israel is nothing but a small part of the islamic agenda to cleanse all lands of all kufirs, infidels and jews, and to rule those lands according to islamic law.
Woe unto thee, America, for if your actions today bear fruit tomorrow, it is your children who will suffer. As they suffer, surely they will curse your name and your memory. They will curse you and those like you who bowed their head and looked the other way, who supported and nurtured the beast. Indeed, for if the islamic agenda is successful, it will have been because of the actions of you and those like you that in end, sentenced them to suffer under the very same monster President Bush welcomes today.
Today, I am shamed before G-d.
"I do not believe in vile acquittals, phony appeasements, easy forgiveness. Even less, in the exploitation or the blackmail of the word Peace. When peace stands for surrender, fear, loss of dignity and freedom, it is no longer peace. It is suicide." Oriana Fallaci
As Israel suffers, so shall the world. It has begun.

UPDATE: President Bush rewards Abu Mazen for the slaughter of Jews with $50 million US taxpayer dollars, proving that terrorism does have its rewards.

Justice at Last!
Marine Second Lieutenant Ilario Pantano is many things. An American. A Marine. A husband. A son. A father. A hero.
One thing Marine Second Lieutenant Ilario Pantano is not.
Marine Second Lieutenant Ilario Pantano is not a criminal.
"Down at the unit level, there was never a question about Ilario's conduct and whether or not he did the right thing," Charles Gittins, Pantano's civilian lawyer, said Thursday. "It was up in the higher echelons. The people removed from combat situations needed to put more trust in their officers rather than assuming they're guilty."
An investigating officer concluded in a report to Huck that murder charges should be dropped against Pantano
Huck could have accepted Winn's recommendation, given some form of administrative punishment or gone ahead with a court-martial. He decided that Pantano should face no punishment for any of his actions.
"I think it demonstrates that Ilario acted honorably in combat and the suggestion that tarnished his reputation was unjustified," Gittins said.
Yes, that's exactly right, Ilario Pantano is a hero, in every sense of the word.
I thank G-d for men like Marine Second Lieutenant Ilario Pantano.
Semper Fi!

Yes. No. Maybe.
Yup. It's Tuesday again. And you know what that means. It means today is the day we remind The Great Pretender of his January 30, 2005 promise to sign his 180.
Oh, yes, I'm the great pretender... Just laughing and gay like a clown... I seem to be what I'm not, you see...
MR. RUSSERT: Would you sign Form 180?
SEN. KERRY: Yes, I will.
So! ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN DAYS have passed and still, no 180. But...
Oh yes... I'm the great pretender... Pretending that I'm doing well... My need is such... I pretend too much...
From today's Boston Globe:
During an interview yesterday with Globe editorial writers and columnists, the former Democratic presidential nominee was asked if had signed Form SF 180, authorizing the Department of Defense to grant access to all his military records.
"I have signed it," Kerry said.
Yeah. Right. Sure you did John. Sure you did.
Oh-oh, yes I’m the great pretender... Adrift in a world of my own... I've played the game... But to my real shame...
"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."
Going through it? Going through it for what? Come on John, who do you think you're kidding?
Too real is this feeling of make-believe...
After the interview, Kerry’s communications director, David Wade, was asked to clarify when Kerry signed SF 180 and when public access would be granted. Kerry drifted over to join the conversation, immediately raising the confusion level. He did not answer the question of when he signed the form or when the entire record will be made public.
Several e-mails later, Wade conveyed the following information: On Friday, May 20, Kerry obtained a copy of Form 180 and signed it. "The next step is to send it to the Navy, which will happen in the next few days. The Navy will then send out the records," e-mailed Wade. Kerry first said he would sign Form 180 when pressed by Tim Russert during a Jan. 30 appearance on "Meet the Press."
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 with a link to the form every Tuesday for the rest of his lying scum sucking piece of shit life.
Feel free to join in... and... if you are a blogger, join us in spreading the word every Tuesday, the more the merrier!!
Sign the 180 Senator. Sign the 180.
Oh yes... I'm the great pretender...
Hat Tip to: Polipundit and a big thank you to the one and only DoubleU, who reports that "Of course he might sign it before he doesn't sign it."

I am a Right Wing Radical
Are you?
You Might Be a Right-Wing Radical If . . .
According to Senate minority leader Harry Reid and his friends, Democrats must block the constitutional appointment process in order to protect you from right-wing radical judges. They say they use the filibuster only in the most extreme situations, to block confirmation of extremely dangerous radicals to the bench for sake of all mankind.
Heroes they are really, at least in their own minds.
I can almost see their point, too. Who would want some extreme right-wing wacko deciding justice in America? I mean, what if judges actually just stuck to the written law and constitution and applied them to cases without any re-draft from their own personal agenda? Can you imagine what chaos it might cause if our judges left all the legislating to our legislature? Who would single handedly thwart the will of the masses if not a judge?
In order to understand what Mr. Reid and his friends mean by this assertion, we must first understand what they mean by “right-wing radical.”
Let’s begin with the simple stuff. If you believe Teddy Kennedy is a drunken coward who should have gone to prison for leaving his girl friend to die in the icy waters of Chappaquiddick as he ran and hid from authorities, you are right. But if you believe this voids his credibility as a national leader, you are a right-wing radical and you are sadly mistaken.
If you believe Bill Clinton should have done more to protect this nation by strengthening the military and our intelligence community rather than destroying them while he focused his attention on using the White House as a personal play-pen, you are right again. But if you believe America was weakened by Larry Flint Lite living in the White House, you are a right-wing radical.
If you believe John Kerry should have produced real evidence to support his claim of war hero status instead of simply attacking the honor of decorated veterans and POW's who called him a traitor, you are once again right. But if you think America should reject a traitor for president, you are a right-wing radical.
Now for the basics: If you believe that the taking of innocent life for the sole purpose of personal convenience, not in self defense, is murder and therefore, not a constitutional right, you are correct. Just look it up under murder. But if you believe you have the right to call murder by its name, you are a right-wing radical.
If you believe that America’s greatness is a result of freedom instead of free-stuff, you are an evil rich selfish snob who happens to be right. But if you believe you have a right to your own earnings, a right to determine your own financial future, a right to work harder or smarter and receive the fruits of your labor and sacrifices – or that you even have a right to risk failure in pursuit of your own happiness, you are a right-wing radical.
If you still believe America is the land of the free and home of the brave, that America’s strength rests upon the inner strength of its people, and that it is threatened by a growing internal weakness among its masses, you are a right-wing radical.
If you believe that morals matter and that every action has a natural inescapable well-deserved consequence, then you are brilliant - and you are a right-wing radical.
If you believe that judges should read laws, not write them, you are a genius by today’s standards and you, too, are a right-wing radical.
If you believe that freedom of religion does not mean freedom from religion and that freedom of religious speech does not include Jim Jones, David Koresh, or Muslim extremist who preach killing innocent people as the center-piece of their doctrine, then you are highly intelligent and you, my friend, are a right-wing radical.
So see, if you said yes to one or more of these qualifications, you are exactly the kind of extremist the Democrats are trying to save this nation from. You are a right-wing wacko extremist whom this nation will no longer tolerate.
If you believe in the concept of right and wrong, good and evil, self-reliance and self-governance, the constitution as it was written, personal responsibility, the rights endowed by our creator as established in the Declaration of Independence, then you are no longer part of the “mainstream” in America, according to today’s Democrats.
You must be stopped from running roughshod over the masses, who have adopted the ideals of “mainstream” Americans like Teddy Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Franks, John Kerry, Hillary, Al Gore, Michael Moore, Larry Flint, Alec Baldwin, Howard Dean, Babs, Whoopie, Franken, and Soros.
Old Democrats like Joe Lieberman or Zell Miller must be sidelined because they, too, can say yes to most if not all of these qualifications. By today’s standards, that makes them just as dangerous to the DNC agenda as all you right-wing wackos.
You are an extremist, a right-wing ideologue, and here is the latest class title for people like you: an “absolutist.” You are in the eyes of the “mainstream,” simple minded, but no less certain about the difference between right and wrong and as a result, you are dangerous.
As such, you are no longer welcome in America. You represent a larger threat to America than Bin Laden, Hitler, Stalin, and Marx combined, according to Democrats.
So you must realize that it is vital to keep people like you off the bench. So vital to America’s future, that Democrats must be allowed to filibuster the constitutional appointment process in order to save America from right-wing radicals like you.
If you were a hardcore card-carrying socialist, you would already know all of this. Since you are a right-wing wacko, I figured I had better explain it to you in terms you can understand.
Your ideas harm the progressive agenda of an open society where all are equal, and I do mean all. How dare you think that America should be the best country on earth? America should be just like every other country on earth, equally poor, equally tyrannized by its government and equally miserable. As long as we’re not, we will not be appreciated in the world community and what’s more important than that?
If you believe the founders got it all wrong, that America is one big feeding trough for the world, that the U.N. is more trustworthy than the U.S., that our weaknesses are our strengths and that only Democrats can save you from yourself, you are NOT a right-wing extremist.
If your idea of national security is negotiating away your freedom to avoid a fight, you could never be a right-wing extremist - you just don’t have what it takes.
But you can pass the DNC litmus test and you my friend, can be a judge… No filibuster for you!
'Nuff said.

The Truth About Michael Crook
The truth comes out at last, as it always does. Guess what?
Poor pathetic Michael Crook tried and tried to get into the army, and the army didn't want him. Yep, he washed out of boot camp on a medical discharge.
FACT: Michael Crook is nothing but soldier wanna be with a resentment.
So, now the pathetic little putz has a grudge against the military, do you suppose he was feeling a little inadequate?
Appears so, and, it appears that Mike's demented way of dealing with his inadequacies is his pathetic and disgusting attack on our brave soldiers who are out there defending America, doing what he is unable to do.
Like many others, when I first saw that website, I wanted to explode but now that I know who and what Michael Crook is, I really don't give a crap about it. He's a pathetic little shit.
Here's Silent Mike's pitiful and pathetic story about the army that he wrote in 1999...
and
I Would be proud to serve-- if the Army would let me
Except... well... as can be expected from Mike, there are discrepancies, there is mention in one article that Silent Mike had some sort of legal problem that might have drummed him out of service... and no mention of that in the other. Wonder what the truth behind that might be...
But... Let's talk about hypocrisy...
"Whether it be the Army, Marines, Navy, the Air Force, or the Coast Guard, our country wouldn't be where it is today without the valuable service of the countless men and women who have served." - Silent Mike, a/k/a Michael Crook
"I felt it a privilege to salute while the flag was being retired at dusk. I can feel the mutual pride and respect when I salute an officer or observe a salute being rendered." - Silent Mike a/k/a Michael Crook
But wait... there's more:
"At the same time, I feel sadness, because I know I'm not on the training field finishing my basic training as I should be. I feel jealousy fill up within me every time I pass a serviceperson in the mall or elsewhere. In a few cases, I've stopped and spoken briefly with them and reminded them how privileged they are to be serving out country." - Silent Mike, a/k/a Michael Crook
"Freedom isn't free" may be a cliche, but it is very true. Many people, men and women, have died to ensure that we can listen to the music that we do, say whatever we want, and have all the various freedoms that we exercise practically every day and take for granted. - Silent Mike a/k/a Michael Crook
Almost makes you feel sorry for him. Almost... but not.
I am now done with this disgusting and pathetic little hypocrite. On his pathetic little website, Mike brags about how he is known for various accomplishments nationwide, and hated all across this great country of ours.
Got news for you Mike, you will be forever known as the little wanna be soldier who couldn't make it in the army and who then tried to piss in the pool, and, you will be mocked and laughed at all across this great country of ours.
"Perhaps in November when we ovserve [sic] Veterans Day, and when next May brings Memorial Day, we can think beyond the day off of owek [sic] and school and remember not only the people who have died in service to our country, but also the countless others who voluntarily leave behind their loved ones to serve in the military." - Silent Mike, a/k/a Michael Crook
What a hypocrite.
Oh... and... he's a pervert too.

Illegals - Send 'em home
I am anti-illegal immigration. Kick 'em all out, send them right back where they came from.
If you think otherwise, go here and look: What's Right With America.
Watch all three clips. From the Clip 1: "Brown Pride! Go back to Europe! Go back to England! It's our land. Go back to that Jewish shithole Manhattan!" American flag poster defaced.
From Clip 2: Anti-illegal immigration activist Dottie (66yrs old) sustains inner cranial injury from hurled bottle. "You get a heart attack lady go home! You get a heart attack lady go home!"
From Clip 3: "Racists! Osama Bin Laden Rules! Zarqawi rules! Zarqawi the Gringo Killer! Inefada! Death to the red necks!"
Why do we welcome such people on American soil?
If you feel as I do, please, spread the link around.

What a Pathetic Little Jackass
First, that shitty website, and the faking his own death, and blaming it on our military, no, that wasn't enough for the jackass.
In the pursuit of fame and, well, fame, the jackass got his ass kicked on Hannity, hell, compared to Crook, even Colmes seems smart.
Yup, Hannity and Colmes showed this pathetic little PoS to be exactly what he is, an asshole in a cheap suit.
I took a little peek at his pathetic little website and read his pathetic little whines about how poorly he has been treated...
Tonight I appeared on the show Hannity and Colmes.
What a couple of ignorant, rude jerks. For once, I tried to address the e-mails that I get, and at least try to bring facts. I tried to raise the issues with salaries/benefits, and the entire compensation package, but they both interrupted me, calling me "heartless" and "cruel", among other things.
They wouldn't even let me get much of a word in edgewise; I had to force the proper name of the site into the conversation.
I was very disappointed that these two wouldn't even give me a chance to speak my side. I think that this interview was meant to be nothing more than an "attack that evil bastard with the mean site" interview, as opposed to having anything to do with facts.
These two make me sick, and they have no interest in facts. Of course, considering the content of each of their radio shows, I'm not complaining..just observing. I knew what the possible outcome was, and I certainly got it. Touche.
All in all though, I'm glad I got a chance to at least try to get my side out. Maybe a credible journalist would let me do an interview in a fair forum, where both sides can be aired.
Anyway, I'm happy with it, insult all you losers like.
Aw. Wake up shithead, no one is interested in what you consider to be facts, except maybe what's left of the looney left after you got your asses kicked last November.
it appears that crook's little fan club is deserting him for being the pathetic little jackass that he is... this is also from crook's website, titled "In my defense...." (and no, I am still not giving that piece of shit a link, email me if you want one).
I guess I have to respond to some of the e-mail messages I've been getting regarding my interview on Hannity and Colmes yesterday.
I realize, on review of the tape, that it looks like I'm not standing my ground, but here's what happened from my point of view...
This was my first interview on that side of the camera. I've worked in the TV industry, so I'm perfectly at home behind the scenes. I had a few minutes to prepare my thoughts, with the expectation that Hannity and Colmes would at least give me somewhat of a fair hearing, that is..say my piece. Rather than do that, they chose to just barrage me with insults and quite honestly, I was caught off guard. The nervousness of being on Fox News Channel, combined with expecting a fair forum and getting beat up on right out of the gate caused my mind to just go blank.
I did not mean in any way to imply that they were correct in saying the troops are the reason I have freedom of speech, because they don't. My taxes give me that right; screw the troops.
In any event, I have been treated a lot nicer by radio show hosts, and in retrospect, I should have been more agressive, but the bottom line is this: they didn't bring me on to be fair, they brought me on to make me look like a jerk, and just pelt me with insults. So be it. I'm not upset about it, I just realize that this is what makes Hannity and Colmes feel more powerful. Twisting free speech to suit themselves, and not give others (not just me..they've done this to many others) a chance to respond to their rudeness.
But they were correct in one thing: I am heartless and cruel and damn proud of it.
Out.
Yep. A pathetic little jackass who's only claim to fame is being a heartless and cruel to the very people to whom he owes his freedom?
That makes you a low down piece of shit asshole in my book crook, so go piss up a rope, okay? Here's a news flash for ya... no one cares about you, no one.
You had your fifteen minutes of fame, you are now hated and despised by all decent thinking people.
Coming soon: You can find the video of the asskicking at Vince Aut Morire.

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner
Palestinian Terrorist Abu Mazen will meet with President Bush in Washington May 26. In case you were wondering why... well... according to the White House, its because Abu Mazen has done so much to lead his people merrily along the road map for Middle East peace.
Yes, Abu Mazen has proven beyond a doubt that exactly what his intentions are with regard to peace. After all, yesterday, his people fired 30 missiles into Israel communities. Whew! Good thing there is a cease fire in effect, huh?
You might wonder what else has Abu Mazen accomplished... well... Cal Thomas reports:
... one issue that is beyond debate is Abbas' failure to end the incitement to violence that President Bush mentioned nearly three years ago as a precondition for implementing the road map.
In its print and broadcast media, the Palestinian Authority has increased the level of invective against Israel, the Jewish people and the United States.
According to a report commissioned by the Center for Near East Policy Research, the level of invective, incitement, paranoia, spreading of false accusations and rumors and inflammatory sermons from Palestinian mosques has not changed under Abbas.
These include assertions from Palestinian officials and their media that Israel is planning attacks on Islamic holy sites such as the Al-Aqsa Mosque on Jerusalem's Temple Mount; charging Israel with using radiation to poison Palestinian travelers and remarks on Palestinian radio that claim "America is using her troops to uproot Islam and (true) belief from the hearts of those imprisoned in her jails."
On official Palestinian television, viewers saw three hours of non-stop incitement against Jews and Israel. And on a program called "Good Morning Jerusalem," calls were taken from viewers who berated Jews and Americans with the approval of the show's hosts.
From numerous Palestinian mosques comes rhetoric which, if used by an American preacher about anyone, would properly be condemned as bigotry and an incitement to violence.
Sheik Ibrahim Mudeiris, a paid employee of the PA, said in a sermon aired May 13 on PA TV, "Allah has tormented us with 'the people most hostile to believers' — the Jews … and the polytheists." That's code for Christians, who believe in a triune G-d. The sheik added, "You will find that the Jews were behind all civil strife in this world. The Jews are behind the suffering of the nations."
If that isn't enough incitement for the president, how about this from the same sermon: "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."
What about those "troublesome" Jews? The sheik said, "The stones and trees will want the Muslims to finish off every Jew." In case people think this is merely the ranting of a single cleric, they should visit the Palestinian Media Watch Web site where there is a full report outlining the PA's systematic justification for genocide (www.pmw.org.il/KAJ_eng.htm).
This isn't only a sermon; it is the official policy of the Palestinian government which the Bush Administration believes is capable of making peace and living side-by-side with Israel. If it weren't official policy, one would expect Abbas to denounce and silence it.
If words have meaning, the definition of "incite" should inform administration policy: "stresses a stirring up and urging on; move to action." (Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary)
Sermons from Palestinian mosques, along with words and images in Palestinian media, are not the American equivalent of an editorial or opinion column, or a sermon or homily from an American church or synagogue. They are designed to stir up and move to violent action. A preponderance of sermons I have read call for the eradication of Jews, Christians and anyone else who doesn't believe as they do.
Yes, the United States of America should surely honor Abu Mazen for his successes in furthering the agenda of Islam. Why, at this rate, Abu Mazen will succeed where every one else has failed, and there will surely be peace in the Middle East, if only because all the Jews in Israel will be dead.
"You're either with us or against us in the fight against terror." -- U.S. President George W. Bush
Yes. Talk is cheap.

Michael Crook is a PoS
Some people will do anything for attention, even fake their own death. But some are so pathetic and desperate for attention that they will fake their own death and blame it on the United States Military.
The scumbag behind the Forsake the Troops webite had this posted on his site:
On Monday evening, the webmaster of Forsake The Troops was brutally assaulted by two men, thought to be members of the military, in response to their opinions about this website. Mr. Crook had been the target of numerous death threats and trespassers at his residence. All of these threats were saved and have been turned over to the authorities.
UPDATE:
At 6:19pm Eastern time, Michael Crook died of his injuries, after being rushed by ambulance to the leading hospital in the area for head trauma. The two men who allegedly assaulted him are currently in the custody of police. Mr. Crook died with his wife and infant daughter present.
It is therefore the decision of his family, and associates that Forsake The Troops goes offline, to prevent further incidents of violence and threats against his family. Therefore, this domain will permanantly go offline at around 5pm Eastern time, on Tuesday, May 17th, 2005.
Comments, and well-wishes may be addressed to condolences@michaelcrook.com. Media inquiries (no interviews with family at this time), or sincere inquiries from well-meaning people may be directed to (315) 295-2602.
Too bad it ain't true.
A controversial Web site that has called wounded soldiers "leeches" and celebrates when U.S. servicemen are killed in action, is claiming its Web master was beaten to death yesterday.
But local police say no murder has occurred.
The site, www.foresakethetroops.info, posted a claim Tuesday morning that Michael Crook was physically attacked by two men and later died in a hospital from his injuries. The statement speculated that the attackers are "thought to be members of the military, in response to their opinions about this Web site."
The site also says the two attackers were "taken into police custody."
But officials with the Onondaga County Sheriff’s Office in Syracuse told Army Times Tuesday that they have no record or knowledge of any such attack in the region.
A message left at the phone number listed on the Web site was not immediately returned.
The Web site has repeatedly posted disparaging comments about the military. Crook, the alleged blogger of the site, has said his main intent is to inform Americans that soldiers are paid too much for what they do.
Recently the site posted this: "Don't military pukes learn anything? Nine more Marines bite the big one in combat. Stupid is as stupid does!"
On May 15, the Web site had a tally of American troops killed in Iraq. It read: "Number of US soldiers killed in the Iraq War, of their own doing, because they CHOSE to be leeches: 1,583. These scumbags asked for it, and got it. Simper Cry."
Meanwhile, the PoS has this to say on his weblog (and no, I won't give the PoS a link, write me if you want one):
Well, I suppose the cat's out of the bag, so....I'm not dead.
To those that sent heartfelt messages, and felt that this was a true story, I truly apologize. This situation quickly got out of hand, when national media outlets called looking for clarification.
I honestly thought people would shrug it off, and go on their merry way. I even got a kick out of the numerous hate messages from people, including an e-mail message from this numbnuts:
------------------------------------------
Yea, I am sorry that I couldn't have been there to watch you die. Go Army.
-----------------------------------------
Real nice guy, he. In any event, this story got way out of hand. The Troops site has, indeed, been taken offline, because quite frankly, I'm tired of the time it takes to maintain it. It's not from a lack of hosts; there are plenty of companies willing to take my money, but enough is enough. Let the drunken rednecks from Weapon Depot think they won. They had nothing to do with it. Nor did anyone else, but myself. I alone chose to take the site down.
But, hey, if it gets your rocks off to make you think you're so important that you had anything to do with it, knock yourself out.........please. Then jump off a tall building with your children in tow.
Life's too short to stress over mean people.
Have a nice night.
Yeah, I snipped out the name of the soldier who wrote him, and I snipped out crook's self-serving whine about supposedly losing a job over the site, but hey, I hope its true.
Piss off Michael. You are boring. and irrelevant. No one gives a shit enough about whether you live or die enough to kill your sorry ass and the world knows that, even if you don't.

Thirsty for an Immigration Scandal?
Well then... you might want to head on over to Drink This and see what the Tall Glass of Milk had to say to the good Mayor of Denver.
- Mayor owns restaurant.
- Restaurant needs dishwashers.
- Illegal alien needs job.
- Raul Garcia-Gomez gets job at mayor's restaurant washing dishes.
- Federal government notifies Mayor Hickenlooper's proxies that Garcia-Gomez is illegal alien.
- Garcia-Gomez IS NOT fired.
- Immigration officials ARE NOT notified.
- Cop turns up dead.
- Garcia-Gomez is the killer.
- Mayor not responsible.Or is he?
Bottom line - Hickenlooper provided the ways and means for this illegal alien / murderer to enter into the United States illegally via Denver's "sanctuary" status and then provided him with employment.
Because of Denver's "don't ask, don't tell" order did the court not inquire into whether his presence in the United States was legal.
If Hickenlooper had canceled his predecessor's "sanctuary" order, Donald Young might still be alive.
The argument that illegal aliens are not only harmless, but necessary because they "do jobs Americans won't do" flies in the face of indisputable evidence that drug dealers, murderers, rapists and cop-killers masquerade as dishwashers and landscapers.
One thing we can be sure of, Officer Young won't be the last American to fall victim of an illegal alien who should have been apprehended and deported.

Drop The Charges!
If you haven't seen this, its from the Washington Post:
An investigating officer has recommended that the Marine Corps drop murder charges against 2nd Lt. Ilario Pantano, who shot to death two Iraqi insurgents a year ago during a raid on an insurgent hideout in the "Triangle of Death."
The 16-page report from Lt. Col. Mark E. Winn castigates as unreliable the prosecution's chief witness, Sgt. Daniel L. Coburn, whom Lt. Pantano had removed as squad leader weeks before the April 15, 2004 shooting.
Yup, good news and its about time.
"The government was not able to produce credible evidence or testimony that the killings were premeditated," Col. Winn wrote in his May 12 report, a copy of which was obtained today by The Washington Times.
"I think now [Sgt. Coburn] is in a position where he has told his story so many times, in so many versions that he cannot keep his facts straight anymore," Col. Winn wrote of the chief witness.
Coburn, who was Pantano’s chief accuser, said "I don’t remember" or "I don’t recall" more than 50 times during his testimony in the pretrial hearing at Camp Lejeune. 50 times.
Throughout his testimony Saturday, there were times Coburn couldn’t recall some details about the shooting that took place April 15, 2004, in Mahmudiyah, Iraq. At times, he couldn’t remember what he did just a few days ago.
Yup. Coburn doesm't remember the shooting and it appears from his testimony that he doesn't remember any battle either.
When questioned about the amount of firefight going on in Iraq in April 2004, Coburn’s testimony differed from all the Marines who testified for both the prosecution and defense. They all described a several-hour ambush on April 11, 2004, and an increase in car bombs and other explosive devices during that time.
"I don’t think it was bad," Coburn said when he was asked about it.
If you want to know all about Coburn, head over to Cao's Blog, she sums up the little gnat very well over here.
There is no doubt in my mind or my heart that Coburn is pathetic little gnat with delusions of grandeur and a rather large chip on his shoulder. He has taken a grudge, and a resentment, and turned it into a murder charge.
There is no doubt in my mind or my heart, or my conscience that Marine Second Lieutenant Ilario Pantano was right to do what he did. His life was indeed in danger, his men were in danger, his mission was in danger.
Marine Second Lieutenant Ilario Pantano is many things. An American. A Marine. A husband. A son. A father. A hero.
One thing Marine Second Lieutenant Ilario Pantano is not. He is not a criminal.
Hopefully, Maj. Gen. Richard Huck will accept Col. Winn's recommendation that all criminal charges be dropped, including murder and destruction of the Iraqis' vehicle. Hopefully, Maj. Gen. Huck will also find that there is no reason for any administration punishment for firing too many rounds at the two terrorists.
One last thing... please Defend The Defenders.
Support the Troops.
Semper Fi!

Illegal Immigrants Granted National Health Insurance
Our government is now endorsing illegal immigration by providing illegal immigrants with free health care, one billion dollars worth, courtesy of American taxpayers.
This is just plain wrong.

Woe unto you, oh Israel!
From "A Case For Democracy":
"Now that we are entering what some have called World War IV, we must restore the moral clarity that helped win the last world war without firing a shot. We must understand the difference between fear societies and free societies, between dictators and democrats. We must understand the link between democracy and peace and between human rights and security."
"...the mechanics of democracy make democracies inherently peaceful, the mechanics of tyranny make nondemocracies inherently belligerent."
"When Freedom’s skeptics argue today that freedom cannot be 'imposed' from the outside, or that the free world has no role to play in spreading democracy around the world, I cannot but be amazed. Less than one generation has passed since the West found the Achilles heel of the Soviet Union by pursuing an activist policy that linked the rights of the Soviet people to the USSR's international standing. The same formula will work today."
Great words from a great man. And today, Natan Sharansky resigned.
Jerusalem, 23 Nissan 5765
May 2, 2005Prime Minister Ariel Sharon
Office of the Prime Minister
Jerusalem
Dear Mr. Prime Minister,I am writing to inform you of my decision to resign as Minister of Diaspora Affairs and Jerusalem.
As you know, I have opposed the disengagement plan from the beginning on the grounds that I believe any concessions in the peace process must be linked to democratic reforms within Palestinian society. Not only does the disengagement plan ignore such reforms, it will in fact weaken the prospects for building a free Palestinian society and at the same time strengthen the forces of terror.
Will our departure from Gaza encourage building a society where freedom of speech is protected, where independent courts protect individual rights and where a free market enables Palestinians to build an independent economic life beyond government control? Will our departure from Gaza end incitement in the Palestinian media or hate-filled indoctrination in Palestinian schools? Will our departure from Gaza result in the dismantling of terror groups or the dismantling of the refugee camps in which four generation of Palestinians have lived in miserable conditions?
Clearly, the answer to all these questions is no.
The guiding principle behind the disengagement plan is based on the illusion that by leaving Gaza we will leave the problems of Gaza behind us. As the familiar mantra goes "we will be here, and they will be there". Once again, we are repeating the mistakes of the past by not understanding that the key to building a stable and lasting peace with our Palestinian neighbors lies in encouraging and supporting their efforts to build a democratic society. Obviously, these changes surely will take time, but Israel is not even linking its departure from Gaza upon the initiation of the first steps in this direction.
In my view, the disengagement plan is a tragic mistake that will exacerbate the conflict with the Palestinians, increase terrorism, and dim the prospects of forging a genuine peace. Yet what turns this tragic mistake into a missed opportunity of historic proportions is the fact that as a result of changes in the Palestinian leadership and the firm conviction of the leader of the free world that democracy is essential to stability and peace - a conviction that is guiding America's actions in other places around the world - an unprecedented window of opportunity has opened. Recent events across the globe, whether in former Soviet republics like Ukraine or Kyrgyzstan, or in Arab states like Lebanon and Egypt, prove again and again the ability of democratic forces to induce dramatic change. How absurd that Israel, the sole democracy in the Middle East, still refuses to believe in the power of freedom to transform the world.
Alongside my concerns, about the danger entailed in a unilateral disengagement from Gaza, I am even more concerned about how the government's approach to disengagement is dividing Israeli society. We are heading towards a terrible rift in the nation and to my great chagrin, I feel that the government is making no serious effort to prevent it.
As Minister I share collective responsibility for every government decision. Now, when the disengagement plan is in the beginning of its implementation stages and all government institutions are exclusively focused on this process, I no longer feel that I can faithfully serve in a government whose central policy - indeed, sole raison d'etre - has become one to which I am so adamantly opposed.
I would like to thank you for our productive cooperation over the last four years. In particular, you sensitivity toward issues of concern to the Jewish People and the strong backing you gave to my efforts to combat anti-Semitism and to strengthen Israel's connection with the Diaspora made possible for the State of Israel to forge the many successes which we achieved together in these areas.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank you for the central role you played in integrating Israel B'aliya into the Likud, a historic step of great national importance.
As in the past, I will continue my lifelong efforts to contribute to the unity and strength of the Jewish People both in Israel and in the Diaspora. I will also continue to advocate and promote the idea that freedom and democracy are essential to peace and security.
Sincerely,
Natan Sharansky
Much has been made about George W. Bush's affinity for the ideas of Soviet-dissident-turned-Israeli-politician Natan Sharansky, whose recent book with Ron Dermer, "The Case for Democracy," is subtitled "The Power of Freedom to Overcome Tyranny and Terror."
In fact, President Bush's address sounded like the Cliff Notes version of that book. Talk is cheap and it seems it is getting cheaper by the minute.
The parroting of ideas means nothing, and at the end of the road map lies the destruction of Israel.

Air America?
It seems last Monday wasn't the first time left-wing klaxon Randi Rhodes attempted to draw attention to her asinine opinions by advocating the assassination of President Bush.
As you've probably heard, her show on the thoroughly moribund Air America recently featured a skit suggesting that Bush be shot for attempting to reform Social Security.
