Take Time To Remember

As you enjoy the day today, please take a moment to remember those who gave their lives to keep us free and safe.

If you are able,
save them a place
inside of you
and save one backward glance
when you are leaving
for the places they can
no longer go.

Be not ashamed to say
you loved them,
though you may
or may not have always.

Take what they have left
and what they have taught you
with their dying
and keep it with your own.

And in that time
when men decide and feel safe
to call the war insane,
take one moment to embrace
those gentle heroes
you left behind.

Major Michael Davis O'Donnell

Celebrating Freedom, Obama Style

While Iranian Protesters shed their blood for just a taste of freedom, Iranian Diplomats will celebrate our freedom with a barbecue, courtesy of President Barack Hussein Obama.

From Weasel Zippers:

WASHINGTON (AFP) — The United States said Monday its invitations were still standing for Iranian diplomats to attend July 4 celebrations at US embassies despite the crackdown on opposition supporters.

How's that for rubbing the noses of Iranian Freedom Fighters into the bloodstained pavement of their Revolution?

American Drug War

The American government has spent over $22 BILLION on the "drug war" since January 1st, 2009.

Six months.

To put this into perspective, NASA received only $15 billion in 2008. The Department of Education, $61 billion for the entire 2008 year.

The INTEREST alone on Obama's $11 TRILLION debt will cost the U.S. taxpayer an average of over $26 billion per month.

The Sword of Truth

We do not fight for land. We are loyal to an ideal - an ideal of liberty wherever man lives. We do not guard territory, bleed for a piece of dirt. We don't fight because we love violence. We fight for our freedom as individuals to live our own lives, to pursue our own survival, our own happiness.

Your unconditional rejection of violence makes you smugly think of yourselves as noble, as enlightened, but in reality it is nothing less than abject moral capitulation to evil. Unconditional rejection of self defense, because you think it's a supposed surrender to violence, leaves you no resort but begging for mercy or offering appeasement.

Evil grants no mercy, and to attempt to appease it is nothing more than a piecemeal surrender to it. Surrender to evil is slavery at best, death at worst. Thus your unconditional rejection of violence is really nothing more than embracing death as preferable to life.

You will achieve what you embrace.

The right, the absolute necessity, of vengeance against anyone who initiates force against you is fundamental to survival. The morality of a people's self-defense is in it's defense of each individual's right to life. It's an intolerance to violence made real by an unwavering willingness to crush any who would launch violence against you. The unconditional determination to destroy any who would initiate force against you is an exaltation of the value of life. Refusing to surrender your life to any thug or tyrant who lays claim to it is in fact embracing life itself.

If you are unwilling to defend your right to your own lives, then you are merely like mice trying to argue with owls. You think their ways are wrong. They think you are dinner.

If, hoping to appease it, you willingly compromise with unrepentant evil, you only allow such evil to sink it's fangs into you; from that day on its venom will course through your veins until it finally kills you.

Compromising with murderers grants them moral equivalence where none can rightly exist. Moral equivalence says that you are no better than they; therefore their belief - that they should be able to torture, rape, or murder you - is just as morally valid as your view - that you have the right to live free of their violence. Moral compromise rejects the concept of right and wrong. It says that everyone is equal, all desires are equally valid, all action is equally valid, so everyone should compromise to get along.

Where could you compromise with those who torture, rape and murder people? In the number of days a week you will be tortured? In the number of men to be allowed to rape your loved ones? In how many of your family are to be murdered?

No moral equivalence exists in that situation, nor can it exist, so there can be no compromise, only suicide.

To even suggest compromise can exist with such men is to sanction murder.

Many teach that saying someone is evil is prejudiced thinking. It's a way of belittling someone already in pain for some reason. Such people must be embraced and taught to shed their fears of their fellow man and then they will not strike out in violent ways.

They are dangerous to everyone because they embrace evil with their teachings. In so doing, in trying to be kind, to be unselfish, in trying to be nonjudgmental, you allow evil to become far more powerful than it otherwise would. you refuse to see evil, and so you welcome it among you. You allow it to exist. You give it power over you. You are a people who have welcomed death and refused to denounce it.

You are an empire naked to the shadow of evil.

These people think of themselves as enlightened, as above violence. They are not enlightened; they are merely slaves awaiting a master, victims awaiting killers.

To Kill An American

(Hat Tip: Jawa Report)

'Full-Blooded American' Should Be President

It looks like Barack Hussein "No Middle Name" Obama will be facing some tough challenges in rural America. People in West Virginia, as in many places across our great nation, have questioned Obama's loyalty to this country:

Most people questioned said they mistrusted Mr Obama because of doubts about his patriotism and “values”, stemming from his cosmopolitan background, his exotic name and the controversy surrounding “anti-American” sermons by Jeremiah Wright, his former pastor. Several people said they believed he was a Muslim – an unfounded rumour that has circulated on the internet for months – despite the contradiction with his 20-year membership of Mr Wright’s church in Chicago. Others mentioned his refusal to wear a Stars and Stripes badge and controversial remarks by his wife, Mich­elle, who des­cribed America as “mean” and implied that she had never been proud of the US until her husband ran for president.

Conservative commentators have questioned Mr Obama’s patriotism for months and the issue is expected to be one of the Republicans’ main lines of attack if he wins the nomination. “The American people want a president who loves their country as much as they do,” said Whit Ayres, a Rep­ub­lican strategist. Obama supporters believe patriotism is being used as code to harness racist sentiment.

Josh Fry, a 24-year-old ambulance driver from Williamson, insisted he was not racist but said he would feel more comfortable with Mr McCain, the 71-year-old Vietnam war hero, in the White House. “I want someone who is a full-blooded American as president,” he said.

I don't subscribe to the notion that Obama is a Muslim. It is not impossible, but it is unlikely, in my humble opinion. Still, in this day and age of Islamofascism and daily terrorist attacks being committed by radical Muslims, it would be suicidal to continue our blind, politically correct, assumption of unproven virtue. America is on a downward spiral - not because of the war or claims of racism or economic woes or imperialism or whatever the anti-American cause of the day may be - but because we are too tolerant of a society.

You don't allow uninvited strangers into your home, no matter how nice or useful they seem to be. You protect your home. You keep the bad people out, even if that means keeping some good people out. You don't allow crime to fester outside your door with the mistaken notion that as long as it stays out there, you and your family are safe. No, you tackle the problem of crime within your neighborhoods, your communities, and your cities. That is how we should be protecting our homeland. Whenever and wherever threats arise, they must be contained and tackled.

America needs to be on guard.

Totally unrelated to the Presidential Campaign, when is lying permissible in Islam? Islam Facts has the answer:

Muslims are permitted to lie: (1) to save their lives, (2) to reconcile a husband and wife, (3) to persuade a woman into a bedroom and (4) to facilitate one on his journey. Muslims are even permitted to disavow Islam and Mohammed if it is not a genuine heart-felt rejection. Muslims will tell you that concealment of a truth is not an abandonment of that truth if it benefits Islam.

And from the mouth of Muhammad himself:

"Lying is wrong, except in three things: the lie of a man to his wife to make her content with him; a lie to an enemy, for war is deception; or a lie to settle trouble between people." (Ahmad, 6.459. H)

Quiet Jihad In America

Jihad Watch has a list of known Muslims "who have been arrested and/or convicted for either planning or acting out their 'jihad' against unsuspecting, innocent men, women and children." Click over there to read the list. It's disturbingly long, so give yourself time to view it.

Murder, arson, bombings, financing terrorism... All in a days work for the "moderate" American Muslim.

What Happened To My America?

Chimpsy's Real American

Unreported Jihad In The U.S.

These plots don't include "individual Jihad" - attacks involving Muslims unconnected to known Islamic terrorist organizations. Some individual Jihad attacks include food contamination, drug overdoses, vehicle 'accidents', and murder of non-Muslims under the guise of 'common crimes' (home-invasions, drug-related, car-jacking, random shootins, etc).

Some of these plots are well-known, such as Richard Reid's failed "shoe bombing" in December 2001 and the liquid explosives plot of 2006, when British investigators uncovered a plan to carry bombs on airliners bound for the U.S. Each of those incidents permanently changed airport security protocols.

Then there was the plot to kill U.S. soldiers using assault rifles and grenades at Fort Dix in New Jersey, and the so-called "Lackawanna Six," who pleaded guilty to providing support to Al Qaeda.

But others have passed by with little notice from the general public, as well as critics of government efforts to protect the U.S. from homegrown terror attacks.

Take, for example, Iyman Faris, of Columbus, Ohio, who plotted to destroy the Brooklyn Bridge and was convicted of conspiracy and providing material support for Al Qaeda in 2003.

Later that year 11 men with connections to Al Qaeda were discovered training for jihad in Virginia, using paintball games to simulate battlefield situations. In 2004, James Elshafay and Shahawar Matin Siraj were convicted of planning to bomb New York's Penn Station during the Republican National Convention.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, a household name for his role as mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks, also is known to have prepared little-known strikes against America's tallest building, the Sears Tower in Chicago, as well as the Empire State Building in New York and the U.S. Bank Tower in Los Angeles.

In contrast, Dhiren Barot may not be a familiar name, although some security experts say he should be. An Indian convert to Islam, the Pakistan-based Barot planned a series of ruinous attacks on the U.S. and U.K, including the New York Stock Exchange and the IMF building in Washington, D.C. Barot was caught by British authorities in 2004 and sentenced to life imprisonment for conspiracy to commit murder.

Andrew McCarthy, director of the Center for Law and Counterterrorism at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, credits much of the success in preventing terrorist attacks at home to the pursuit of enemies overseas.

Mass Transist & Mubtakkar

It seems Muslims are taking credit for yet another 'invention' of which no one else in the history of the civilized world has ever conceived. But this isn't one that should make the "religion of peace" proud. The invention is called "Al-Mubtakkar al-Farid: Li Irsaal al-Safah al-Athiri Ila al-Kafir al-`Anid" [translated: "The Unique Invention: To Deliver the Gaseous Killer to the Stubborn Infidel" - Who says the mujahideen don't have a sense of humor?].

(Obtained at Athena Intelligence)

Yes, leave it to the "religion of peace" and their most merciful, compassionate Allah to 'invent' new and cruel ways to slaughter the kuffar en masse.

Possible uses for al-Mubtakkar are outlined at James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies and also in this PDF document titled "Mass Transist System Threat Assessment issued by the Transportation Security Administration (Thanks, Matt!):

(U) Al-Qa’ida is reportedly interested in producing compact chemical dispersal devices. The group developed a small device called a mubtakar [sic] for disseminating cyanogen chloride and hydrogen cyanide.

Daniel Fried Interview on Kosovo

First with the lies. U.S. Assistant Secretary for European and Eurasian Affairs, Daniel Fried continues to perpetuate the Clinton era politically correct misrepresentations about Kosovo. Remember - the 'ethnic Albanians' were not a poor, oppressed minority in Kosovo, they were Muslim immigrants who systematically drove Serbians out of Kosovo by using intimidating, violence and murder.

The background is that old Yugoslavia disintegrated in the '90s through a series of civil wars. It was Serbian nationalism which was principally though not wholly responsible for the disintegration. [Ed: "Serbian nationalism" = Serbian citizens who dared to strike back at Islamic terrorists. The disintegration of old Yugoslavia was the sole responsibility of Muslim immigrants. This is the same tactic used by Palestine. They attack Israel, and then when Israel retaliates, the Palestinian government reacts with outrage, blaming Israel rather than the Muslim militants who initiated the exchange.]

In 1989 the Serbian strong man started a policy of repression in Kosovo. In 1999 NATO was forced to intervene to protect the Kosovo Albanian population from oppression, and the UN has administered Kosovo ever since. [Ed: this crackdown was in direct response to genocide being committed by Muslim Albanians against the Serbian population.]

This year after over a year of failed negotiations, the United States and almost all European countries decided that the time had come to recognize reality and to recognize Kosovo's independence. That's what happened over the weekend. Now we're working with the new Kosovo government to get that country stood up, and that government is doing the right thing and the responsible thing to protect all of the minorities including the Serbs to write these protections into law and its constitution. So we're working with them. [Ed: "them" being Islamic terrorists who were formerly leaders of the Kosovo Liberation Army.] The good news is with the exception of the Serb instigated violence in the north of the country, the rest of Kosovo is peaceful, and the government is doing the right thing.

Fried goes on to expose America's hypocrisy when it comes to Kosovo:

Well, this is the last act of what has been a series of ethnically based [Ed: Correction - religiously based] civil wars and as I said, driven principally though not exclusively by Serbian nationalist extremists, [Ed: WTF about the ISLAMIC extremists who slaughtered thousands in an attempt to ethnically cleanse Kosovo of all Serbians?!] and Kosovo's independence is, I hope, the last act in the breakup of Yugoslavia.

I think what you saw yesterday was not simply an authentic outbreak of anger, it was also the result of some incitement by Serbian government ministers who have irresponsibly and reprehensibly suggested that violence is legitimate. [Ed: This is more condemnation than the United States has ever issued to Islamic countries for provoking deadly Muslim protests throughout the world. Apparently, the legitimate and understandable anger displayed by Serbians is somehow worse than deadly Islamic riots by Muslims angered over cartoons.]

As my blood pressure rises, Fried continues with more propaganda and bullsh*t:

Kosovo has had elections, democratic ones. [Ed: No, the majority Muslims have placed KLA Islamic terrorists into power.] It's got a parliament, it's got a government. It's setting up ministries, and the United States is helping it. It's a mostly Moslem country. It's also very pro-Western, very pro-American, [Ed: To Fried, the uneducated, this is called "Taqiyya."] and they say their objective is to be part of Europe, and we want to see them get there.

Before my blood pressure explodes a vein, I'm going to leave it with one more quote from the article. The complete interview, lies and all, can be read at the link provided below.

In this segment, a caller correctly compares the break up of Serbia by uncontrolled immigration to that of the United States southwest:

Caller: I'm curious as to what Mr. Fried would say if Texas decided to break away from the United States, and if the basis of that was the large Hispanic population that is growing in the southern part of the United States. I find the role that the United States is playing in the breakup of different countries around the world quite interesting. It seems to me what's good for the goose is good for the gander, and I find it rather odd that we take these positions about countries that are trying to keep together and that we encourage their breakup. So I wonder what he has to say about that. Thank you.

[Ed: Frieds entire response to this caller is complete BS. The break up of Serbia is a precedent, which is why countries like Russia and Canada oppose Kosovo independence. Russia is facing it's own Islamic separatists, and Canada has similar issues with Quebec. The caller above was right on - if illegal immigration can saturate a territory to the point the illegal immigrants make up a majority of the population, any country with shared borders is at risk.]

Assistant Secretary Fried: The caller is just wrong. We don't consider that Kosovo is a precedent for any other situation in the world. As a rule, far from encouraging breakup of countries, we tend to oppose breakup of countries, and we don't favor separatist movements. We don't think that Kosovo is a precedent for any other separatist movement. Not in Europe, not in North America, nowhere. Nowhere. Not Texas, not Quebec, not anywhere.

The fact is, Kosovo is unique. It was the United Nations, in fact, that ended Serbia's rule over Kosovo in 1999 under the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244. The UN has administered Kosovo. That resolution looked forward to Kosovo's final status being settled and that's what we've done.

So the caller is simply wrong about the history and wrong about U.S. policy. I hate to be blunt, but that's the fact.

See that logo spray painted on the church columns? That's the symbol of the KLA, the so-called 'freedom fighters' America "rescued". So oppressed they were, burning down churches and urinating on the ruins, we had to save them from the Serbian civilians who forced them to rape, behead, torture, maim, mutilate, slaughter, etc, etc...

Words of Wisdom

“The precept of the Koran is, perpetual war against all who deny, that Mahomet is the prophet of God. The vanquished may purchase their lives, by the payment of tribute; the victorious may be appeased by a false and delusive promise of peace; and the faithful follower of the prophet, may submit to the imperious necessities of defeat: but the command to propagate the Moslem creed by the sword is always obligatory, when it can be made effective. The commands of the prophet may be performed alike, by fraud, or by force”.

~John Quincy Adams, 1829

Huckabee For President

It seems the best choices for a Republican president have fallen. Tancredo, Thompson, and Romney... Though far from perfection, they were certainly the most desirable.

And then there were two.

Given that the most important issues this election cycle are immigration and IslamicFascism, only one person is worthy of support. John McCain is not that person.

Mike Huckabee promises to:

• Secure the border/ build the fence
• Prevent unearned amnesty
• Enforce current immigration laws
• Defend and support Israel
• In Iraq, concentrate on surgical air strikes and commando raids - both more effective methods in dealing with individual terrorist groups
• Increase the Defense budget - we'll fight to win
• Get tough with Pakistan and other "allies"
• Make America more energy independent
• Protect 2nd Amendment rights
• Expose & identify our true enemy - Islamic fundamentalists
  

Our choices are limited, but thank whatever god you believe in that we live in a country where we still have choices.

Taunting a Tiger

Of course the tiger was taunted. And these two idiots will become millionaires for it. Paul and Kulbir Dhaliwal still publicly deny these charges, but evidence, and statements by the third victim's father, show otherwise.

Just to give you an idea of the character of these young men, you need only to read the transcript of the emergency call from Kulbir to the 911 dispatcher:

Kulbir: What do you mean? ... My brother's going to die out here!

Dispatcher: OK, calm down, all right?

Kulbir: It's a matter of life and death. ... I'm not going to let him die like that.

Dispatcher: I'll stay on the line with you. If the paramedics get hurt they cannot help your brother, so you need to calm down and ...

Kulbir: Send more paramedics then!

Read Entire Transcript

In other words, "Who cares if a few paramedics are injured or killed, JUST SAVE MY BROTHER!"

These boys stupidly put themselves - and others - in harm's way. And they were perfectly willing to sacrifice those attempting to help them.

Welcome to America, land of the free, home of the brave, and kingdom of suckers.
