AL Jazeera & American Moonbats

What idiocy must be involved for an American citizen to discuss the War on Jihad with Al Jazeera reporters, and to give dopey, bumper sticker (from their Yugo's no doubt) responses as these fools did? [see link]
How much hatred must thes cretins have for their own countr? Andif they hate it this bad, why in the hell are they still here? Cuba is still looking for immigrants, since they tend to lose everyone who has the ability to swim, crawl or drive their 56 Chevy pick-up across to Florida.
 
To disagree with a war is a constitutional right in this country. To sympathize, empathize, aid or abet THE ENEMY is really a horse of a different color. Makes me wonder who changes these childrens diapers, or if they even bother.

Fitna Is Back Elsewhere. RoE

Fitna is back for now. LiveLeak dropped the movie due to threats. At Jawa Report the movie is still available (for now)
 
 
The link above goes to the Jawa Report site. The removal of Fitna from LiveLEak really proves to me the veracity of the issue of why it was made in the first place. Muslims threatening violence, go figure.
The time is closing on the day when any form of dissent against Moozies will not be tolerated. That my friends is sharia law. We as a free nation have two choices in this matter. Bow to the Moozies, bow to the left, bow to the Political Correctness crowd or tell them in no uncertain terms:
This is America, Land of the Free, Home of the Brave. Live with it or just take a hike.
The time is approaching when a stand must be taken.
The time is approaching when the next President will need to reassess the Rules of Engagement for all troops on the ground.
We in this country have the best military on the planet. They can do the job of protecting this nation. IF they are given free rein to do that job.
 
Rules of engagement for all Soldiers, Airmen, Sailors of the U.S.A.
 
To all enemies of the Nation of the United States of America.
The Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen of this Nation have one Rule of Engagment. If you are an enemy of this nation, you are a target. If you hide behind a mosque, a child, a monument of antiquity, or a camel, they become targets also. For all enemies of this nation, if you have designs or ideas in regards to harming the United Staes of America, and a desire to to live..... please understand the two desires are diametrically opposed. If you cause a single hair on a single citizen to be harmed, you will be hunted down and obliterated. Everything you are standing next to will be obliterated. The nations of the world which harbor you will share your fate.
If any of this offends you, so what.
Live with it or find another planet to live on.
 
For any who read this and are offended. So what?

FARC Had Uranium In Columbia

On Wednesday Colombian authorities announced finding more than thirty kilos of "impoverished" uranium along a road leading to a southern district of the capital Bogota.
The Colombian Defence Ministry has announced the uranium as having a connection to information on the computer of FARC guerrilla leader "Paul Reyes" who was killed in a cross border raid into Ecuador March I of this year. That raid sparked a short lived international tiff between Columbia and Venezuela with Ecuadorian politicians providing angry outbursts too.

The uranium was touted as being in excess of 30 kilograms. The discovery was aided by the information from two informants who lead the Defence Ministry authorities to the site. The laptop computer belonging to guerrilla leader Paul Reyes was reported to have held emails suggesting FARC was in the market for the purchase of up to 50 kilograms of material.

The price for the material was believed to be between US$ 1.5 million and US $2.5 million per kilo. FARC was not apparently in the market for the uranium as a weapon for it's own armed revolt against the government of Columbia, but was interested in re-selling the material on the international market to finance the fight against Bogota.

This is not the first report of or find of uranium material in Columbia this year. In February of this year another cache of the low grade material was found in a northern Bogota. Also on March 16, 2001 six hundred grams of enriched uranium were found in a neighborhood of Bogota.

Tests are being conducted to attempt to find a country of origin for the material found most recently.

These finds of uranium material whether low grade or enriched seem to bode ill for the civilized nations of the world. The advent of nuclear terrorism in place of homicide bombers wearing explosive belts with embedded shrapnel is a far leap into a new dimension of terror.
The use of even low grade nuclear material in a "dirty bomb'' can lead to the deaths of many thousands of citizens in a population. The use of enriched uranium coupled with the expertise required can reduce an area affecting millions of people in the crowded cities of South America or North America.
The weak kneed East Coast Libyaruls in search of a new downtrodden nation to whine and moan about may have one rigtht here. As soon as Al Q gets a few pounds of th enriched variety of the uranium.
 
The solution to a piece of this problm is closed borders. Tightly closed borders, tight like a bulls butt at fly time borders. Then, we ned to track down every last mothers son of the muslims in this country and make them register as foregin agents, and the muslim mothers too.

Russians Fear MC Cain Presidency?

 

Russians Fear Mc Cain?

An OpEd in the Moscow Times as reprinted from the Financial Times London, outlines what the Russian concerns are from a John Mc Cain presidency. In a word it is his Conservative attitude and his prior Conservative statements, plus what the writer Anatol Lieven who is a professor at Kings College, Cambridge describes as being a natural incendiary.

The writer describes the problems as ideology, policies and personality.

Some of the Senator Mc Cain quotes used by the writer are:

In 1999, McCain declared: "The U.S. is the indispensable nation because we have proven to be the greatest force for good in human history. ... We have every intention of continuing to use our primacy in world affairs for humanity's benefit."

McCain declared in 2000: "I'd institute a policy that I call 'rogue state rollback.' I would arm, train, equip both from without and from within, forces that would eventually overthrow the governments and install free and democratically elected governments."

The statements obviously seem to be of concern to the Russians. External politics of the region which includes Georgia and Ukraine has some in Russia concerned regarding the early entry of Georgia and Ukraine to NATO. Apparently the Russians don’t have any special desire to give up their influence in the formerly Georgian regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
South Ossetia is at this time an Iranian language area, having been originally populated by Kabards who are primarily Sunni Muslim in the Middle Ages.

John Mc Cain has made a fact finding visit to the Georgian-Ossetian conflict zone on August 26, 2006. His findings did not paint an especially rosy picture of the conflict area. It’s easy to understand why the Russians would be a bit miffed at a Senator from Arizona poking his nose into what could be considered a “sphere of influence” which only until the breakup of the former Soviet Union was a vassal state of the USSR.

The concern of the Russians in regard to Georgian rule in the area is understandable from the viewpoint of the Russians having to take sides. If a war breaks out again the Russians must choose either the Georgians –who are more closely aligned ethnically with Moscow, or choose the South Ossetian break away government which is aligned as a predominantly Sunni Muslim region. Who does Russia want to irritate the least?

For America, the idea of having a small conflict zone in that region which would pressure the Russians to enable or shun either side seems a win/win situation. The beauty of the situation is that it might not even take any external force to foment the discord, but to just allow the situation to take its natural incendiary course. (pun intended)

All of this points to only one issue for me. I may have to do more than hold my nose to vote for the “maverick” of CONgress, I may have to have my nose cauterized instead, but the reality of life today is that John Mc Cain is a better choice than either of the other two pre-schoolers  on the Dim-a-Krat side of the Aisle.

One of the largest problems we as Conservatives will need to keep an eye on is the issue of Illegal Immigration, John wants to bring ‘em in, Nancy Pelosi wants them in, Harry Reid wants them in. The only folks who don’t seem to want a bunch of Illegal Invaders in the Country is… the rest of the Country.

Editors note: Anatol Lieven aside from being a Professor at Kings College, Cambridge is also a senior research Fellow at New America Foundation. 
I will admit it is possible for the "Foundation" to be just what it says it is. But I am always just a bit suspicious when any group of Leftist Americans and Non-Americans develop associations to advise and foment opinions on the state of the state of the USA.
The NAF smacks of U.N. style "America is Wrong At Every Turn" mentality to me. While the stated program of NAF is one of “actively encouraging a variety of opinions” from leafing through the Bio’s of the Fellows and Senior Fellows, the conservative approach is held by only a smattering of them. The “Token Conservatives” it seems.
 
 
And as for Senator Mc Cain as a natural incendiary - Flame  On Dude!

Armenia and the Atomic Club

Armenian President-Elect Sargsyan visits Moscow, recieves an invitation to join the International Uranium Enrichment Center. Putin lauds the election of Sargsyan despite charges of election fraud.
Will Armenia join the Nuclear Club?
Serzh Sargsyan as President-Elect of Armenia traveled to Moscow to be feted by ex KGB director now President Vladimir Putin. The visit was filled with the usual protocol of flowery speeches, well wishing, and gestures of goodwill.
While Sargsyan must wait until April 9 to be sworn in, Dmitry Medvedev will replace Putin as President of Russia on May 7 of this year.

In the discussions between Putin and Sargsyan the topics of trade and economic cooperation also touched on the subject of the invitation to Armenia to join the International Uranium Enrichment Center (IUEC) in Angarsk, Russia.
The IUEC is the same facility which is providing the enriched fuel for Iran’s burgeoning nuclear ambitions.
This invitation to join the IUEC carries an implied ability for Armenia to not only fuel the current Nuclear Electrical Generating plant in Medzamor, but also to divert fuel for that plant plus the projected newer plant being discussed to be built with Russian help, toward nuclear weapons production if such should ever be desired by the Armenian Government.

The need for Armenian weapons of mass destruction does not appear to be on the horizon at this time though. Armenia is nearly the only ally Russia has in the southern Caucasus region of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO.) Armenia will be taking over the chairmanship of that body in the fall of 2008. As a member of that body, Russian military is pledged to provide security to Armenia.

The other members of the CSTO are Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Russia and Uzbekistan.
The question of stability in the region, with Turkey, Iran and Azerbaijan as neighbors does raise questions which will not find easy answers since the landlocked nation of Armenia is overwhelmingly Christian (94.7%.) The tensions of living beside the predominantly Islamic cultures that may develop the capability of nuclear weapons such as Iran is perhaps attempting, may give rise to a perceived need on the part of the Armenians to develop such weapons for themselves.
 
While the nation of Armenia is at this time aligned with the Russian Federation it is worthy of note that they are also a Christian nation in the midst of a metric buttocks load of Islamo Fascists.
The instinct of a rush to judgement might well need to considered before a harsh reaction. Armenia as a Christian nation could easily wind up being an ally in a region where we find them to be in seriously short supply. The current admnstrations disasterous attempts at foreign policy have to date focused on appeasement of the Islamo Fascist nations. A very foolish course it seems to an admitted Conservative Christian American.

Prof. Faults IDF For Bombing?

An apparent Liberal Jewish Hamas apologist in Israel complains (whines) about the bombing of the IDF (Israeli Defence Force) into Gaza. Prof. Kretzmer  (video link) is quoted in an interview as saying the loosely targeted bombing of sites in Gaza only exacerbates the problem of inducing more to join the radical terrorism of Hamas. As do most liberals, Prof. Kretzmer only chooses to denigrate the people who are doing what they can to protect his idiotic ramblings. Prof. Kretzmer sites an example - "Israel deported 400 members of Hamas and Jihadii's in response to a specific incident. Those individuals then turned into a new terrorism force."
No Shiite Prof? Maybe instead of sending the children to their room the IDF should have stood every last one of them against a wall and shot them one at a time on video! Then post the video on YouTube for the Jihadiim to consider. For the Jihadiim to factor in, in relation to how soon they might be in touch with their 72 virgins. (all goats and sheep, did Moe forget to mention that the virgins might not be speciescentric?)
 
Prof. Kretzmer has much to say in a negative vein about the IDF policy of bombing the snot out of rocket launching sites, and (gasp, shock, disbelief) no suggestions as to what might actually work better.
 
That's OK, it's actually something of a no brainer to a simpleton such as myself  who has only participated in one war. If the people who are being bombed, don't like being bombed and then they join up with Hamas to foment more terriorism,  DUH, y'all stopped bombing too soon!
If the people walking around in Gaza shooting off Q'tam rockets stop firing off rockets, Israel quits bombing. Can it get any simpler than that? With the exception of having every Israeli just walking off into the Mediterranean Sea as human lemmings, there seems only the option of protecting themselves. Every other option is a half measure, half measures are notoriously bad ideas in times of war. Israel is at war with a bunch of 7th Century throwbacks pledged to eradicate Israel from the planet.
For Israel it would seem the time for half measures has come and gone. Time now for a full frontal assault. As an American taxpayer who gladly accepts the added burden of supplying a part of Israels annual budget, the time for ultimate accountability is at hand. The half measure of bombing suspected rocket attack sites is a panty waist mesure doomed to failure before the aircraft leave the ground, or the missiles leave the launcher.
Hamas Hizbullah and Fatah are the ancillary problem, the so called palestinians are just meat for the grinder used by Hamas, Fatah, and Hizbullah.
Eliminate the three Ghost Antagonists (being used by Iran & Syria) to wage war against Israel by attacking the root of the problem. Syria, and Iran.
Tehran glassed over is not a huge threat, Damascus glassed over is not much of a threat either. When Tehran and Damascus are gone, Serve notice to Saudi Arabia to stay off the lawn or Mecca is next. In two weeks or less, peace in the Middle East is a done deal. In another three of four weks the Main Stream Media has found something else to be hindsightedly clairvoyant about, the next news cycle has come and gone a few dozen times and the rest of the muslims scattered around the planet have decided to keep Mecca in one piece (or not) and life goes on. Time to milk another cow and find another problem in search of a solution.
 
And just because I can, Obamasama , you're an idiot too.
 
It's not really all that difficult, it only takes focus. Focus on the problem, find a solution, carry out the solution, and then go to the next problem.

Pelosi & China - Good, Bad & The Ugly

I am not a fan of the Chi Coms, but they tend to speak more truthfully than our own MSM.
 
What is happening in Tibet is a bad dealio, and it's been that way for fifty seven years now. Taiwan will be next.
Strangley for me, although I like to see a truthful press. I am of two minds in this. Pelosi is standing up for something other than the nearest Commie - thats a welcome change.
And China is getting more bad press - Thats a good thing.
But also, Pelosi is not  (in theory) supposed to be out making problems in the Foreign Policy of this Nation.
Thats a bad thing.
 
Life is complicated when a Conservative.
Life is easier to be just another brain dead, let the good times roll Liberal.
 
The road less travelled.....

Illegal Arrested - Murder of Jamiel Shaw

 

Another young man gunned down   (with video) by another Illegal Invader, Jamiel Shaw's suspected murderer was a known  gang banger from the streets of Los Angeles. The suspect in this case, Pedro Espinosa had been arrested and subsequently released from jail the day before the killing of Jamiel Shaw on a assault charge. Police indicated Pedro Espinosa had been in a gang since the age of twelve, being nineteen at the time of the shooting. The conclusion then becomes the length of Mr. Espinosa's stay in this country illegally was a total so far of seven years. The question for the Los Angeles Police then becomes how many times had Mr. Espinosa been arrested or questioned by the police? Mr. Espinosa who was arrested on March 7 is being charged with murder as a gang related crime. The label of gang related makes Mr. Espinosa eligible for the death penalty.

Prior to this arrest Mr. Espinosa had been arrested on firearm charges and obstruction of an officer. either of those arrests should have sent a "Red Flag" to the Immigration Services, unfortunately for Jamiel Shaw, those red flags went unheeded. The only comment so far from Immigration and Customs enforcement spokesperson Lori Haley? "The system is not 100% perfect" I submit the system isn't just not perfect, but is badly broken.

At some point in the life of this Nation we will need to get serious about the issues of Illegal Invaders entering this country and bringing their Third World crime mentality with them. This nation will need to find a solution which will not include a "pathway to citizenship" which is being pushed again by Barrack Obama as noted in his appearance with Gov Bill Richardson, John "Open Borders" McCain and Nancy Pelosi.

We can only maintain an orderly society when all of us have some form of commitment to maintaining that order. Those who have not enough concern with the rule of law to enter the country in a legal fashion, cannot be expected to adhere to the more rigorous laws which protect our citizens from this type of pointless and random crime. 

 Lets all keep in mind this November there will be two candidates. Neither of them wants to exclude Illegal Invaders. Both will make a hard push for open borders, both should be tried under the law for being so stupid.

Bishop Manning On Obama, No Love Lost

 
Not every African American is enamored with Barrack Hussein Obama. As a matter of fact The Honorable James David Manning PhD. appears to have an exceptionally low tolerance for Obama's Left WingNut socialist approach to life and government. Along with Calypso Louie Farrakhan.
Bishop Manning has a few descriptions for Obma which I can't remember hearing from my Pastor toward anyone he disagreed with, but hey Bishop Manning is at the very least one of the most forthright and honest Obama naysayers I've heard speak to the issues.
 
I take exception with only one item in the litany of expostulations of Bishop Manning. Bishop Manning is not anyones last hope. That job and that title belongs to Jesus Christ alone, no other can make the claim except in deceit.

W Is Losing It

W has decided to give weapons and defense services to Kosovo. I'm stunned again at the ineptitude of this Slimy Dog Rinocrat.
KOSOVO? That just happens to be the freakin' MUSLIM side in that piece of crap war.
 
 
 
Really??? And just where did he find that? Is it perhaps what's left over from yesterdays bran muffins? Some days it just doesn't pay to get out of bed and read the news.

Primary For the Aristocracy?

A Democrat super delegate primary is unlikely to occur without Howard Dean finding a benefit to the Democrat Party. The idea of a two day super delegate primary appears to be headed to no mans land for now.
Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen (Dem) is prodding his fellow super delegates for a Primary of the Aristocracy after the last regular primary in June. Bredesen presented the idea in an opinion piece in the NYT on Wednesday.
The concept of a Super Delegate Primary has been given a cold shoulder by Howard Dean
And according to Bredesen
“The super delegate primary doesn't have a chance of becoming a reality if it is not run by the DNC.”


The idea behind Bredesen’s idea appears to be fostered by a need to put the fractious primary Democrat Presidential race behind them. The race for the Democrat nomination continues to take a toll on both candidates left in the race.

Barack Hussein Obama continues to attempt damage control from the Pastorgate issues, and now Hillary Rodham-Clinton has through the auspices of the National Archives been given more to worry about with the release of 11,046 pages from her White House schedules.
Already Senator Clinton has the report of being in the White House on the day her husband then President Bill Clinton was having oral sex with an intern in a blue dress.
It seems as if Senator Clinton and Senator Obama have simply been trading off on the eruption of bad news since John Edwards dropped out of the race.

The fallout from whatever the rest of the White House schedules has to offer can only be guessed at until more people have had more time to read through them. In the meantime the Pastorgate will continue to nag at Senator Obama until some important revelation form the White House schedules is made available to the Nightly News cycle of political titillation.

And the super delegate primary will be an unlikely event to ever occur unless Howard Dean is convinced it will offer a greater hope for a Democrat victory in November
Until that time the Democrats will have to continue risking the Novembe election by placing all of their hope on those they feel are too simple to do the right thing. In the wake of the Mc Govern fiasco the "super delegate" concept was born. It is now badly needed to thwart a nomination of a candidate who has no more possibility of being elected President of the United States than Bugs Bunny.
I will leave it to the reader to discern which of the two Socialist Democrtat candidates I refer to.

Pre-emptive Scandal for NY

In a pre-emptive scandal control attempt, the NEW Governor of NY David Paterson admitted to having an affair  with  (at least) another woman from 1999 to 2001. Whew! I was afraid it was going to be another one of those New Jersey things where the Gov has his wife, his driver, the drivers dog, the gardeners chinchilla and two ferrets and an emu in a menage a bundle. And it wasn't a hooker, he took the time to build a non monetary relationship with the harlot of choice.
Somedays I just wish they would keep it all to themselves and not run for office if they can't control themselves. Although to be at least honest about it, the new Gov does happen to be blind, I suppose he could have just bumped into the lady and forgot to get off right away.
 
 Is there something in the water back oin the East Coast which prompts this sort of behavior? If so it's the same junk in the Hollyweird water. The two coastal regions can't seem to maintain control of themselves. Perhaps they should just give it up and choose Governors the same way any other business would choose a CEO. Advertise for the position, let all who want to apply do so, then let the electioneering begin and the voters get a much larger pool qualified candidates to pick from.
 
That way someone from even North Dakota could wind up being the Governor of Florida or Maine or New Jersey. Except it would be certain to confuse the people in Florida even more than they are now about voting. Think about that, the folks in Florida can't even work out the mechanics of the voting process and yet they in theory get an equal choice in picking the next President of the USA.
That is just a little scaary to me. A lot like watching an older person hobble down the sidewalk with a cane at about .17 miles per hour, only to see them get into either a 1986 Buick, a 1976 Cadillac or perhaps a 1932 Reo Royale purchased new from Ransom E Olds himself.
If I happen to be driving when I see that happen, I will ususally look for a protected spot to pull off the road and just sit and wait for them to get on down the road and safely beyond reach of me and my truck.

Sgt Bobby Rapp March 3, 2008

 
  Update on 3/21/08: The turn out for Sgt Bobby Rapp's final ride was enormous, Vets from all over Northern California showed up, The Sonora High School classes were let out for 45 minutes to allow the H.S students who cared to (most of them) to line the street with themselves and flags, and Sonora Elementary School lined another section of the procession route. From my viewpoint it appeared as if about half of the County had shown up for the procession.The entire processional route was lined with yellow ribbons by that time and the Downtown area still is!
Bobby Rapp was honored by his community. This community was honored to have a man of his nature as a Patriot Son.

Army Sgt. Bobby Rapp of the 82nd Airborne was a hero. This post is not an attempt to eulogize that young man. I will leave that to the people who knew him much better than I did, who never personally met him.

This does happen to be all about the differences between two communities though. The difference specifially between Bezerekley California and Sonora California. The differences in the size of the two cities is considerable, 101,555 (and going down) vs 4,648 (and climbing) (Berkeley and Sonora respectively)

The differences though are deeper than mere size, dominant architectural themes, U.C. Berkeley and the other surface issues. The difference is how do the people of Berkeley differ from the people of Sonora? I have spent some time looking at both cities now. I grew up in the East Bay Area and was a frequent devotee of the sights and sounds of Berkeley while I was in High School, I have been at or near Sonora for twenty six years now.

The communities of the two cities though have nothing in common at all, the people of the two communities exist as if from different planets. As if they were definitely in opposing countries.

Berkeley wants the military Recruiters to take a hike and not come back. The City of Berkeley renounced that decision only at the threat of losing Federal Pork Barrel money to keep their little homeostasis perking along. The City of Bezerkeley has a history of being disruptive and anti war from the days of the Viet Nam War until today with the current anti war crowd. The difference being that now that same crowd from the sixties is in power at City Hall. So instead of sit ins and demonstrations in the street ad nauseum they simply pass  resolutions at the Council meetings to dishonor the men and women in uniform. The same men and women who fight to preserve the right of those butt monkeys in Bezerkeley to protest and be idiots intent on aiding and abetting the enemies of this Nation by offering moral support to our enemies.

Sgt Bobby Rapp was one of those young men. Sgt Bobby Rapp died in Afghanistan on March 3 2008 defending against an attack on a government building.

The difference in the two cities is this. In the City of Sonora, the death of Sgt Bobby Rapp was given front page coverage. The local paper - The Union Democrat gave over not just an obituary notice to Bobby, he received coverage on three separate days so far. In today’s paper, the paper has a full page article on who he was as a child, as a young man, and finally as a Soldier. Another page of the paper is devoted to a map of the funeral procession, a procession through the City of Sonora eventually winding up at the Sierra Bible Church outside of Sonora. The procession route has been lined with yellow ribbons since the day after the official notice was given to the parents of Bobby. The City streets will be closed down entirely throughout the procession route for as long as needed. The support from the community is total.

Even the local anti war crowd have taken a hiatus from making any noise about the war. For those in this community it's not about the larger issue of whether the War on  Jihad is right or wrong, it does happen to be all about a local boy who went to war in defense of his Nation and is now coming home for the final time.

All differences of political persuasion have been set aside for now. The community for a time is acting as one entity to Honor the Fallen.
I believe that Bobby would disagree with me on this but I do not for one second believe that the City of Berkeley or the Code Pink Freaks deserves the protections afforded by the sacrifices of the Heroes of this Nation. Wrong thinking perhaps and I will likely get over it at some point and need to recant that statement. But right now I can say it and it feels OK to do that.
 
 
 
 I close  with a quote from a "just in case" letter Bobby wrote to his parents shortly before his death.
"Let the world know I died doing what I love and dying for my country is the greatest honor I could ever receive" Sgt Bobby Rapp US Army.
 
From the ISV Bible:

1Jo 3:16 This is how we have come to know love: Christ gave his life for us. We, too, ought to give our lives for our brothers.

For now, all thats left is to say thank you and God's speed to another American Hero who has fallen.
And Thank You to all of the Men and Women who are serving or have served in the Military. Your sacrifice is noted, and it is appreciated.
 
USN 1967 - 1971

Obama - "The Prettiest Sounds On Earth"

 

B Hussein O maintains to be staunchly Christian in his outlook and in his life. And in that he does appear to have more going for him than the Shrew of Arkansas seems to have. The question remains though why such a high profile figure as O Hussein has incurred nop wrath from any of the Muslim clerics who are normally quick draw freaks against anything, anywhere which is anti-muslim.

Why is there no mention of the issue with or from any muslim in this nation or outside the country? Why does B Hussein O go out of his way to stand in unity with Louis Farrakhan and his hatred of all who are white? Doesn't B Hussein O want to be the President of all of America? Or is he interested only in supporting both Farrakhan and his (B Hussein’s O's) church with its blacks only slanted view of Christianity?

Why does B Hussein O have such a rosy view of Islam? In an earlier post I mentioned the article from Hawaiian  reporter  Frank Salvato in which B Hussein O lauds the sound of the Islamic call to prayer as "the prettiest sound on earth" Somehow that line of reasoning doesn't translate in to the man or woman we need to combat the War on Jihad (terror is after all only a feeling we have in relation to the people who constitute the threat)   I am not certain if B Hussein O is a muslim mole or not, at the end of the day, no one but B Hussein O can read his own heart in that issue. But to tell us he was not influenced by his childhood of muslim  schooling, and the faith of his father is belied by a comment from Jonah Goldberg:

 

Recently Jonah Goldberg wrote about a 2007 New York Times interview of Barack Obama with Nicholas Kristof, who documented, “Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated...Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as ‘one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.’”

How can a person recite the opening lines from a prayer from childhood, and also state they were not influenced?

Seems like the USA needs more of an individual who is not as concerned with the ''feelings'' of the enemy and more in tune with how to wipe them from the face of the earth. The Qur’an doesn’t allow for living at peace with any except fellow believers, and even then they have to be of exactly the same form of belief. If your muslim neighbors follow the wrong Imam they are just as bad as an unbeliever... or worse!

Europe has tried the concept of living in harmony with the muslim immigrants, it's not working. Print the wrong cartoon? Get ready to rumble in the 'hood.

Have a thought and express it that Muhammad is just another 7th century child molester? Find a hole to live in, before the Jihadiim find you.
 
I suppose it's posible B Hussein would be pleasant enough to sit and have a cup of coffee with while noshing on bisccotti and shooting the breeze. But that in itself does not qualify him for the job of President of the United States. We as a nation need more from a President than 'just another nice guy" We need someone who is capable of identifying problems before they are problems and having a ready answer when the unexpected pops up like it did on Sept 11, 2001. Those were not Catholics, Methodists and Bhuddists on those planes. They were islamic martyrs. That which every adherent to the idea of Islam is called to do. Give up their own life in a pursuit of worldwide dominion by the force of power or persuasion.
 
B Hussein Obama is not the man of the hour. He is just another socialist stooge who wants to change this nation into an imitiation of a Cuban Third World Scenaio, where we all get to share the misery equally.
 
No thanks.
 
 
obama - crook, criminal and racist? Is it true? In my opinion the Rezko issue and being  in cahoots with that idiot preacher make a strong case for obama being a crook and a closet racist. obama and racism, with his pastor who makes al sharpton and looey farrakhan look like choir boys at st patricks
