Water Boarding Worries…Why Now?

2009-04-24T14:10:00.001-07:00

Nancy Pelosi - aka The Scary Lady!

So much liberal left-wing angst, so much indignation, so much self loathing and self hatred.

Do you really care that Khalid Sheik Mohammad was subjected to water-boarding?

I don’t care. I hope he was subjected to much, much worse. Oh, maybe like a hot cattle prod up his wazoo. Or maybe crushing his fingers one by one with a shop vise. But I digress.

The ever arrogant and narcissistic U. S. Attorney General Eric ‘Holier than Thou’ Holder is threatening to charge former Bush administration people with committing crimes of torture.

And now it comes out that;

“In September 2002, four members of Congress met in secret for a first look at a unique CIA program designed to wring vital information from reticent terrorism suspects in U.S. custody. For more than an hour, the bipartisan group, which included current House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), was given a virtual tour of the CIA's overseas detention sites and the harsh techniques interrogators had devised to try to make their prisoners talk.

Among the techniques described, said two officials present, was waterboarding, a practice that years later would be condemned as torture by Democrats and some Republicans on Capitol Hill. But on that day, no objections were raised. Instead, at least two lawmakers in the room asked the CIA to push harder, two U.S. officials said.

‘The briefer was specifically asked if the methods were tough enough,’ said a U.S. official who witnessed the exchange.”

So are you outraged at the treatment of these islamic terrorists?

I’m not. Sorry, my give a damn’s busted.

Change You Can Believe In...

“You are weak, your hands are empty, and you can't force us to do anything; nearly 7,000 centrifuges are spinning today at Natanz, mocking you.”

This challenge comes from Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in an April 15, 2009 speech in Kerman, Iran. (click here for the whole story)

It’s in response to U.S. President Barack Hussein Obama’s offer to extend an “outstretched hand” to Iran.

So much for Hussein Obama’s embarrassing attempts to grovel and beg forgiveness and acceptance from the likes of Ahmadinejad.

What Obama doesn’t seem to get is that this is how most muslims regard non-muslims.

This is the CHANGE you voted for.

"We Did A Bad, Bad, Thing..."

WASHINGTON (AP) -- For the first time since last fall's election, Democrats and the Obama administration are backpedaling furiously on an issue easily understood by financially strapped taxpayers: $165 million in bonuses paid out at bailed-out AIG.

Republicans, struggling to regain their political footing, are content to let Democrats try to dig their way out of this mess on their own.

(Click here for the full story)

These two paragraphs are from an AP story that appeared on the Drudge Report today. The story went on to say that congressional Democrats professed "shock" at bonus payments to AIG executives after the company received government funds from the Federal bailout.

Shock! Shock and Dismay I tell you!

The Democrats are now rushing to "take back" the ill gotten gains. They have proposed "confiscatory taxes" on the bonuses that have been paid out. The AP article also says that this is "a maneuver that almost surely will be tested in the courts."

Senator Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, is quoated as saying; "It's shocking that they would -- the administration would come to us now and act surprised about these contracts. This administration could have and should have ... prevented this from happening. They had a lot of leverage two weeks ago."

That was the timeframe in which the Treasury Department made an additional $30 billion vailable to AIG.

The Democrats can't blame former President George W. Bush for this one. Nope, they own it all.

Lock Stock and Stink.

From the very beginning of Obama's campaign for President of the United States, Obama surrounded himself with dirty people, (remember Bill Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan?)

After all, when you swim in bullshit, you smell like bullshit.

Well, Barack Hussein Obama sure stinks now.

...has officially achieved a presence in space," proclaimed Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad after Iran announced Tuesday that the terrorist state has launched its first home-built satellite into orbit.

This announcement raises serious concerns since the ability to launch and place a satellite into orbit demonstrates the ability to launch a nuclear warhead. (click here for the news story)

Eric Chevallier, foreign ministry spokesman for France said; "We can't but link this to the very serious concerns about the development of military nuclear capacity."

U.S. State Department spokesman Robert Wood said the satellite program and launch cou
ld "possibly lead to the development of ballistic missiles. That's of great concern to us."

British Foreign Office Minister Bill Rammell said; "This test underlines and illustrates our serious concerns about Iran's intentions."
During the Presidential Election campaign, dhimmi Barack Hussein Obama said he would meet, without preconditions, with the leadership of Iran and other hostile countries.

What a clown, What a dip shit.

It's just too bad that some folks can’t cope with the truly trivial and insignificant stuff that happens in the world. Whether it’s rioting “fans” of teams that have just won the Super Bowl or a filthy rich athlete that just lost a tennis game.

Roger Federer lost to Rafael Nadal in a five set match. Federer is quoted as saying;

"God, it's killing me. I love this game, it means the world to me and it hurts when you lose."

"In the first moment you're disappointed, you're shocked, you're sad. Then all of a sudden it overwhelms you. You can't just go in the locker room and take a cold shower, take it easy - you're stuck out there. It's rough."

According to the Religion of Peace web site’s, (http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/) Weekly Jihad Report during the week of January 23 – January 30, 2009, there were 34 jihad attacks that resulted in 104 deaths, and 116 critically Injured.

The website’s Monthly Jihad Report for January 2009 reported 157 jihad attacks in11 countries that killed 566 and critically injured 846

Those numbers indicate something to be shocked and sad about.

From Guantánamo Prisoner To Al Qaeda Honcho

Guantánamo detainee resurfaces in terrorist group

The emergence of a former Guantánamo Bay detainee as the deputy leader of Al Qaeda's Yemeni branch has underscored the potential complications in carrying out the executive order that President Barack Obama signed that the detention center be shut down within a year.

The militant, Said Ali al-Shihri, is suspected of involvement in a deadly bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Yemen's capital, Sana, in September. He was released to Saudi Arabia in 2007 and passed through a Saudi rehabilitation program for former jihadists before resurfacing with Al Qaeda in Yemen.

Thanksgiving Proclamations

Thanksgiving Proclamations Courtesy of the Rocky Mountain Family Council,

rmfc.org

In November of 1621, the Pilgrims had what is considered to be the first Thanksgiving. On November 29th, 1623, three years after the Pilgrims' arrival and two years after the first Thanksgiving, William Bradford, who was Governor of the Plymouth Colony, made an official proclamation of a day of Thanksgiving:

To all ye Pilgrims:

In as much as the great Father has given us this year an abundant harvest of Indian corn, wheat peas, beans, squashes, and garden vegetable, and has made the forest to abound with game and the sea with fish and clams, and inasmuch as he has protected us ..., has spared us from pestilence and disease, has granted us freedom to worship God according to the dictates of our own conscience;

Now I, your magistrate, do proclaim that all ye Pilgrims, with your wives and ye little ones, do gather at ye meeting house ..., on Thursday, November 29th, of the year of our Lord one thousand six hundred and twenty-three, and the third year since ye Pilgrims landed on Pilgrim Rock, there to listen to ye pastor and render thanksgiving to ye Almighty God for all His blessings.

On October 21st, 1785, John Langdon, who was the Governor of New Hampshire, a signer of the U.S. Constitution as well as a U.S. Senator, made this official Proclamation for a General Thanksgiving to the State of New Hampshire:

The munificent Father of Mercies, and Sovereign Disposer of Events, having been graciously pleased to relieve the United States of America from the Calamities of a long and dangerous war.... preventing Famine from entering our Borders; -- eventually restored to us the blessings of Peace, on Terms advantageous and honourable.

...It therefore becomes our indispensable Duty, not only to acknowledge, in general with the rest of Mankind, our dependence on the supreme Ruler of the Universe, but as a people peculiarly favoured to testify our Gratitude to the Author of all our Mercies, in the most solemn and public manner.

I Do therefore, agree to a Vote of the General Court, appointing Thursday the 24th Day of November next, to be observed and kept as a Day of General Thanksgiving throughout this State ...

On November 8, 1783, John Hancock, the Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and first member of the Continental Congress to sign the Declaration of Independence, issued A Proclamation for a Day of Thanksgiving to celebrate the victorious conclusion of the Revolutionary War:

Whereas... these United States are not only happily rescued from the Danger and Calamities to which they have been so long exposed but their Freedom, Sovereignty and Independence ultimately acknowledged.

And whereas... the Interposition of Divine Providence in our Favor hath been most abundantly and most graciously manifested and the Citizens of these United States have every Reason for Praise and Gratitude to the God of their salvation.

Impresses therefore with an exalted Sense of Blessings by which we are surrounded and of our entire Dependence on that Almighty Being from whose Goodness and Bounty they are derived; I do. .. appoint Thursday the eleventh Day of December next to be religiously observed as a Day of Thanksgiving and Prayer..

On September 25th, 1789, Congress unanimously approved a resolution asking the President to proclaim a National Day of Thanksgiving and on October 3, 1789, while in New York City, President George Washington shared his Thanksgiving Proclamation:

Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor...

Now, therefore, I do recommend and assign Thursday, the twenty-sixth day of November next to be devoted by the people of these United States... that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations , and beseech Him to pardon our national and other transgressions...to promote the knowledge and practice of the true religion and virtue...

On October 3, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln issued a formal proclamation, passed by an Act of Congress initiating the first annual National Day of Thanksgiving.

No human counsel hath devised, nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the most high God who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy...

I do, therefore, invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the heavens... [it is] announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history, that those nations are blessed whose God is the Lord ... It has seemed to me fit and proper that God should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and voice, by the whole American people.

Let's all remember the words of these great men and thank God for His blessings.

A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words

The minor messiah, the Democrat demagogue, the unashamed Marxist, the pimp and panderer to anything and anyone with islamic ties, Hussein Obama recently said that for the first time, his faith in the American people has been "vindicated".

Michelle Obama, wife of Hussein Obama, said that for the first time in her adult life, she was proud of America.

Jeremiah Wright, the creepy, arrogant, racist, self-righteous hater of America, who is also the religious influence in the life of Hussein Obama, said; "God bless America? No, no, no, no, no. God damn America".

William Ayers, self proclaimed anti-American domestic terrorist, said that in bombing the Pentagon and a Judge's home, while the judge's children were inside, he, (Ayers) did not do enough in attempting to destroy America.

Hussein Obama claims the recently convicted ex-Mayor of Detroit Detroit Mayor Kwame Malik Kilpatrick as a friend of his.

Hussein Obama has promised to spread the wealth around. He has promised to tax more of your hard earned income and give your money to some East Colfax Crack Ho so she can feed her bastard children. Unless she decides to abort the baby instead. Hussein is okay with abortion on demand.

After this, and so much more, America still elected Barack Hussein Obama President of the United States Of America.

If you are one of the 63,042,806 people who voted for him, then you are incredibly stupid, incredibly ignorant, incredibly anti-American, and a traitor to your country.

Look out, Hussein Obama and his goose-stepping islamo-fascist storm troopers maybe knocking on your door.

Palin Shows Class & Alcee Hastings Shows His (Racist) Ass

2008-09-25T05:24:00.000-07:00

In a panel discussion in Washington D.C. that was sponsored by the National Jewish Democratic Council, Florida Congressman Alcee Hastings, Democrat, said;

"If Sarah Palin isn’t enough of a reason for you to get over whatever your problem is with Barack Obama, then you damn well had better pay attention. Anybody toting guns and stripping moose don’t care too much about what they do with Jews and blacks. So, you just think this through.” (Emphasis added)

He went on to say;

"Just like Jews, blacks care about affordable health care, energy independence, and the separation of church and state. And just like blacks, Jews care about equal pay for equal work, investment in alternative energy, and a woman's right to choose."
(Click here for detail)

Hastings statement is of course an insinuation that Sarah Palin is racist and bigoted.

This attack on Palin’s character comes from a man who is a member of the Congressional Black Caucus. The very name of this caucus speaks loudly of the racist nature of its membership. But that is another discussion for another day.

Alcee Hastings attacking Sarah Palin for “totin’ guns and strippin’ moose” is not only bigoted but extremely elitist as well. Sarah Palin isn’t exactly Daisy May from Dogpatch.

But what else can we expect of Hastings? After all, he supports the self anointed messiah, the most elite ass of them all, Barack Hussein Obama.

It’s interesting to me that Hastings has the nerve to question Sarah Palin’s character when his own history is quite a colorful story.

Byron York of National Review Online, NRO, (nationalreview.com) wrote in great detail about Congressman Hastings shady dealings. (click here for the full story)

As a federal judge, Alcee Hastings was accused of conspiring to take bribes.

The House Judiciary subcommittee that investigated the allegations unanimously recommended Hastings’ impeachment. The U.S. House of Representatives voted 413 to 3 to impeach Hastings, and the House impeachment managers successfully argued before the Senate that Hastings should be convicted and removed from office.

In 1979 Alcee Hastings was appointed to a federal judgeship by Jimmy Carter. In 1981, two brothers, Frank and Thomas Romano were accused of stealing one million dollars from a union pension fund. They were tried and convicted of the charges. The judge in the case was Alcee Hastings.

While the Romano brothers were waiting to be sentenced, a convicted criminal named William Dredge was facing drug charges and contacted the F.B.I. and alleged that he knew that Alcee Hastings, then a federal judge, had solicited a bribe in an ongoing criminal case.

To make a long story short, a lawyer friend of Hastings named William Borders acted as a go-between to see if the Romano brothers were willing to pay Alcee Hastings $150,000 in exchange for not sentencing them to jail time and have the stolen money, which had been confiscated, returned to the Romano brothers.

Bottom line is the F.B.I. organized a sting operation that reeled in Borders and Hastings.

In pre-set meeting at the Miami airport, an undercover federal agent posing as one of the Romano brothers gave Hastings friend, William Borders a down payment of twenty five thousand dollars. Hastings was then supposed to throw out the forfeiture judgment against the Romanos. After that, the rest of the money, $125,000, would be paid out to Hastings. And according to Byron York’s story;

“Hastings did indeed throw out the judgment, and showed particular interest in making sure it was done quickly. ‘I want the order today,’ he told his law clerk, according to testimony in the case. ‘Sorry for the rush, but the order has to go out today,’ he told his courtroom clerk. A short time later, a pickup date for the full payoff was set.” (Emphasis added)

Then on October 9, 1981, William Borders was arrested by the feds when he accepted the $125,000 balance of the payoff.

The Byron York / National Review article then goes on to say;

Alan Baron, the lawyer who was hired by the Democratic majority on the House Judiciary Committee to lead the impeachment investigation, later wrote a law review article on the case in which he described Hastings’s actions this way:

Hastings was at the L’Enfant Plaza Hotel in Washington, D.C. when he heard the news of Borders’ arrest. His reaction was to leave Washington immediately and return to Florida, thereby avoiding the FBI. He quickly packed a bag and left the hotel without checking out, leaving behind a suit he had sent to the hotel’s valet service. The suit was retrieved by the FBI several days later.

Instead of going to National Airport in Washington, a short drive from his hotel, Hastings took a long, expensive cab ride to Baltimore-Washington airport. Once there, he called his mother in Florida from a pay phone. And then, according to Baron:

Hastings placed a collect call from a second pay phone at the airport to the home of his girlfriend, Patricia Williams. The call lasted a minute or less. Hastings told Williams to call him back at a third pay phone, which she did. He then told her to go to a pay phone and call him again at the same number. About fifteen minutes later, she called Hastings from a pay phone located in a shopping mall near her home. This call lasted a minute or less. Hastings then called her at the mall pay phone from a fourth pay phone at the BWI Airport. This call lasted about four minutes.

After that, Hastings caught a plane south. The FBI found him late that night at his girlfriend’s house.

In December 1981, Hastings was indicted, charged with conspiring with Borders to solicit a bribe from the Romanos. Borders was also indicted. At trial, Hastings pleaded not guilty and claimed Borders was lying about the whole thing. He also claimed the prosecution was racially motivated. He was acquitted; Borders was convicted.

Interesting story, eh?

And after all of this, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi wanted to appoint Hastings as Chair of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence after the Democrats took control of congress in 2006.

When asked about Hastings statements, Sarah Palin’s spokeswoman Maria Comella responded said, "We’re taking a pass."

Hastings did get one thing right when he said; “you damn well had better pay attention” when you vote in November.

Michelle Obama: Dude! She's A Guy!

2008-09-19T14:44:00.000-07:00

Michelle "Too Cute" Obama

Do you remember the Alberto VO5 shampoo commercial in which Rula Lenska said; "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful!"

If you remember the commercial, then you probably recall that Lenska wasn't all that beautiful.

Well, on Thursday, September 18, speaking at a women's roundtable about the economy. Michelle Obama said "People shouldn't make a decision this time based on, 'I like that guy' or 'she's cute." after a round of applause and cheers, she added; "And I'm talking about me." (click here to read the article")

So the obvious question is; was she talking about the Republican candidate for Vice President, Sarah Palin?

Obviously, she was. Only a dunce would not know that she was.

But, poor Michelle, she continues to demonstrate that she lacks of a grasp of the facts. Michelle Obama deomstrates this every time she opens her mouth. After all, Palin is on the ticket, Michelle is not. But in all fairness, Michelle is as dumb as a box of rocks.

This is an obvious slam on Sarah Palin, an attempt to imply that Palin is just another pretty face. If you have heard Palin speak, you know how smart she really is. She is intellegent, quick witted, and very articulate. And the Obamas, Michelle and Hussein, I mean Barack, are simply not.

So Michelle let slip, once again, how obtuse and dim witted she really is.

And did I mention that she is also on the butt ugly side?

I mean look at her, and be honest. She looks like a transvestite. She looks like an ugly dude in drag.

Obama: Leave Troops In Iraq, For Now

2008-09-15T06:14:00.000-07:00

Barack Hussein Obama has slammed President George W. Bush for quite sometime now for conditions in Iraq and has demanded that President Bush expeditiously withdraw U.S. troops fromThat country.

Well, According to a New York Post story (click here to read it) Barack Hussein Obama tried to persuade, in fact demanded, in private conversations with Iraqi leaders to delay an agreement on a draw-down of the American military presence.

The conversation occurred in July 2008 when Obama, the anointed one, Obama the debutante, Obama the self proclaimed “CITIZEN OF THE WORLD”, came out of his closet to make his foreign policy tour.

The Post story said;

“According to Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, Obama made his demand for delay a key theme of his discussions with Iraqi leaders in Baghdad in July. (emphasis added)

"He asked why we were not prepared to delay an agreement until after the US elections and the formation of a new administration in Washington," Zebari said in an interview.

Obama insisted that Congress should be involved in negotiations on the status of US troops - and that it was in the interests of both sides not to have an agreement negotiated by the Bush administration in its "state of weakness and political confusion."

Hussein Obama obviously wants to keep as many American troops in Iraq as possible until if and when he wins the election so he can claim credit for bringing American boys and girls home.

If Obama gets his way, can you say; OBAMA LIED, AMERICANS DIED!

The reality is that American troop numbers in Iraq have been reduced from about 171,000 last Fall to about 145,000 today. Why? The surge worked, though it should have been done long ago and many more lives might not have been lost, it still worked.

And Iraqi military forces are stepping up steadily, in capability as well as numbers. They have gone from 115,000 two years ago to 229,000 today. They are also getting better at fighting the enemy.

According to economist.com, (click here) this week the province of Kadisiya, south of Baghdad, became the tenth province out of 18 to transition to Iraqi command from American control.

But Obama is not man enough to admit that the troop surge worked.

Iraqi civilian deaths due to terrorism and hostile action by the enemy are much lower than it once was. Of course, any deaths caused by terrorism are unacceptable, but once source said that terrorism related Iraqi civilian deaths in July were 500 plus. This is down from 3,700 at this time 2 years ago. American military deaths are down as well.

Hussein Obama and his fellow Democrats keep chanting their anti-Bush mantra that the “real war on terrorism” is in Afghanistan.

Well no thanks to Barack Hussein Obama, it looks as if more American troops will be freed up to help decimate if not exterminate the Taliban and al-Qaeda in Afghanistan.

Islamic Ugliness At Swift’s Meat Packing Plant

2008-09-12T06:01:00.000-07:00

On Friday, September 5, 2008, 220 to 300 Muslim workers left production lines at the JBS-owned Swift meatpacking plant in Greeley, Colorado.

The walk out was allegedly in protest of plant management's refusal to let muslims take “prayer breaks” in accordance with islamic tradition.

The muslim workers, mostly Somalis, walked off the job mid-shift, about 9:30 p.m. They claim they were told by management they could not take a break at 7:30 p.m., when their 12 hours of daily fasting for Ramadan ended.

According to the greeleytribune.com story, (click here to read the article);

“Swift has hired hundreds of Somalis -- as well as Ethiopians, Eritreans, Sudanese, Cameroonians and Congolese -- in the past two years. The company's recent addition of 1,300 jobs on a second shift opened the door to the African refugees who are legally in the United States. The Somalis -- about 1,085 came to Colorado in the last year -- have come to the United States under the United Nations resettlement program for refugees.” (Emphasis Added)

Keep in mind that Somalia is a backward, barbaric, and brutal 3rd world country, a breeding ground for and infested with islamic terrorists that are on a par with al-Qaeda

Apparently these are 1,300 jobs that Americans won’t do, at least according to the advocates of massive immigration from muslim 3rd world, disease ridden countries.

1,085 muslims that we don’t really know what their background is, we don’t know if they support, or participate in terrorism. We don’t know what diseases they’re bringing in, and yet we’re allowing them to handle the meat that you’re serving to your family and children.

But I digress.

On the afternoon of Monday, September 8th, JBS – Swift issued a company statement:

"Friday evening, a group of employees left work without proper authorization. The matter was discussed with their union representatives and the company took appropriate action. JBS Swift desires to accommodate the religious practices of all employees, which includes its Muslim employees, provided it can do so reasonably, safely and without undue burden.

JBS Swift works closely with its employees and their union representatives to accomplish this balance of reasonable accommodation and operational requirements.”
(Emphasis Added)

Brianna Castillo, a non-Muslim JBS Swift worker is quoted by the Greeley Tribune as saying; “The Somalis are running our plant. They are telling us what do to."

Joe Rios, another Swift employee, said he felt the Somalis were asking for special treatment and "taking advantage of our kindness" in America. He said "most of us at Swift are Catholic” and observe a month of Lent each year without seeking work concessions based on religion.
(Emphasis Added)

According to a statement by company spokeswoman Tamara Smid, “the company desires to accommodate the religious practices of its employees provided it can do so reasonably, safely and without undue burden.”

There had been tension between muslim workers and plant management for about a week after the workers had requested a special break to pray during the holy month of Ramadan.

Swift initially agreed, but then reversed it’s decision and denied the request on Friday, September 5th, apparently after about 150 non-muslim Swift workers protested the company's added religious break-time accommodation of the muslims. The non-muslims said that the accommodation is unfair to workers of other religious beliefs who don't receive similar concessions.

Several muslim employees walked off the job in response. JBS SA fired 100 of the muslim workers when they stayed out on Monday and Tuesday, September 8th & 9th and the Swift management said that violated their union contract and it amounted to an unauthorized work stoppage, so they were dismissed.

JBS Swift released a statement on Wednesday, September 10th after the layoffs were made:

"For the past week, JBS management has met with union leadership and local Muslim leaders to address the timing of our second shift lunch break. As a result of those discussions we adjusted the lunch period by over one hour earlier to address their concerns.

On Friday many employees walked off of the job without proper authorization. This action is a direct violation of our collective bargaining agreement. As a result, Union leadership was notified and employees were told that, pursuant to the terms of the collective bargaining agreement, failure to report to work when recalled would result in their immediate termination. A majority of the suspended employees returned to work last night and those that did not were notified this afternoon of their termination.

JBS is grateful to employ a multi-cultural workforce and works closely with all employees and their union representation to accommodate religious practices in a reasonable, safe, and fair manner to all involved."

I give kudos to the company for their initial reversal of the special treatment to the muslim workers, but after the lawyers at the ACLU get involved, and they will, pressure will be brought to bear by the Federal Government or brainless judges, and I believe the company will cave in and grant the special prayer privileges to the followers of the Religion Of Peace.

The two women in the pickup were killed instantly and a boy in the store died later of fatal injuries he sustained because of the collision.

ICE spokesman Carl Rusnok said the 23-year-old illegal alien, Hernandez; “was born outside the country”.

According to Rusnok the hold means that Hernandez will be released to immigration authorities if the state releases him. (Yeah, right)

Hernandez fled the scene after the collision, and was arrested. Authorities said the illegal alien has an extensive criminal record. Denver Radio Station KHOW obtained Hernandez’s rap sheet. Click here to read his record.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

On October 26 2005, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, newly anointed President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, said;

"Anybody who recognizes Israel will burn in the fire of the Islamic nation's fury, any Islamic leader who recognizes the Zionist regime means he is acknowledging the surrender and defeat of the Islamic world."

"There is no doubt that the new wave of attacks in Palestine will wipe off this stigma ([Israel) from the face of the Islamic world."

"As the imam (Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini) said, Israel must be wiped off the map."

(click here for the full story)

Five years previously, former Iranian president Hashemi Rafsanjani called for a Muslim state to annihilate Israel with a nuclear strike.

Ahmadinejad continues his bluster and threats today. He has conducted military maneuvers that have included multiple ballistic missile launches.

On July 9, Iran test-fired up to nine ballistic missiles near the Strait of Hormuz, through which much of the world’s oil supplies pass.

This would put American and Israeli military bases across the Middle East within striking distance of these missiles, including the ballistic Shahab-3.

General Hossein Salami, air force commander of the Revolutionary Guards, said the launches were intended to “demonstrate our resolve and might against enemies who in recent weeks have threatened Iran with harsh language. Our hands are always on the trigger and our missiles are ready for launch,” General Salami made it clear that he was talking about the United States and Israel.

Iran has recently said they are attempting to launch satellites into orbit around the earth. . The long-range ballistic technology used to put satellites into space can also be used for launching weapons, namely, nuclear warheads. (click here for the full story)

Ahmadinejad believes that he is chosen by Allah to set into motion the events that will result in the return of the Hidden Imam, Muhammad al-Mahdi, also known as the Twelfth Imam. (click here for detail)

al-Mahdi’s return is the most significant event in the future for the Shi'ites and has tremendous eschatological consequences. According to islamic lore, al-Mahdi’s return will occur shortly before the Final Judgement and the end of history.

al-Mahdi will return as the head of the forces of righteousness and do battle with the forces of evil in the final apocalyptic battle. When evil has been defeated, al-Mahdi will rule the world for several years under a perfect government and bring about a perfect spirituality among the peoples of the world.

Ahmadinejad believes this and is willing to do anything to initiate al-Mahdi return, including starting a nuclear war.

Tomorrow, Barack Hussein Obama

Vladimir Putin

Russia’s brutal invasion of Georgia two weeks ago further demonstrates the belligerent and militant mindset of former Soviet KGB agent, and presently the man in power in Russia, Vladimir Putin.

Russia claims the invasion was necessary to “stop ethnic cleansing” in South Ossetia, an area that is inside Georgia’s borders. What really happened was that Georgian troops moved into South Ossetia after military attacks by South Ossetian militants.

According to the Chicago Tribune; “South Ossetia has existed as a de facto independent state within Georgian territory since a bloody civil war with Georgia in 1991-92. No country recognizes its statehood, but Russia supports the region economically and has maintained a military presence there.” (click here for the full news story)

Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili, offered South Ossetia broad autonomy in exchange for allegiance to Georgia, but South Ossetian leaders have insisted on full independence or annexation by Russia.
South Ossetian forces attacked Georgian troops the first week of August. The attacks included an ambush with rocket-propelled grenades on a Georgian armored personnel carrier that killed two soldiers and wounded at least six. On Thursday, August 7, a South Ossetian mortar attack on the village of Avnevi killed at least eight Georgian civilians.
That evening, the Georgian President called for a cease-fire and asked the separatist leaders to resume negotiations for a peaceful settlement. But when South Ossetian troops began shelling Georgian villages after Saakashvili's call for a cease-fire, Georgian leaders decided to move ahead with their own assault.
Georgian Prime Minister Lado Gurgenidze said in a televised address; “Separatists opened fire in response to yesterday's peaceful initiative of the president of Georgia. As a result, lives of civilians were under threat."

Putin used the Georgian military response as an excuse to expand its power back into Georgia. Russian troops invaded Georgia on August 8, 2008, hundreds of people have died, and over 100,000 civilians have been displaced.

Putin’s storm troopers are still occupying Georgian territory after agreeing to a cease-fire calling for them to move back to Russia.

It seems that this invasion coupled with Putin’s staunch support of Iran’s quest for nuclear bombs, has turned Russia’s push for power has progressed to hard shoving.

With this latest demonstration of brutal aggression, Putin has poked the eye of the West in general and the United States specifically, and is waiting for our response.

Tomorrow, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

The Right Of The People To Keep & Bear Arms

2008-06-26T09:04:00.000-07:00

GLOCK Model 19

The Blogesphere is abuzz with headlines reporting the latest Supreme Court Of The United States (SCOTUS) rulings, specifically, the Right To Keep and Bear Arms.

Supreme Court Finds Individual Right to Own Guns
US Top Court Upholds Right to Bear Arms, Rejects Handgun Ban
Court: A Constitutional Right to a Gun

SCOTUS Blog wrote;

Answering a 127-year old constitutional question, the Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to have a gun, at least in one’s home. The Court, splitting 5-4, struck down a District of Columbia ban on handgun possession. Although times have changed since 1791, Justice Antonin Scalia said for the majority, “it is not the role of this Court to pronounce the Second Amendment extinct.” (click here to read the entire post.)

Regarding the SCOTUS ruling, John McCain said;

"For the first time in the history of our Republic, the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed that the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms was and is an individual right as intended by our Founding Fathers."

Word for word, the 2nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution reads;

"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."

It sounds like pretty plain language to me.

So what the hell took'em so long?
