MESSAGES FROM MUMBAI
Posted by: Michael Medved at 1:37 AM
The savage, bloody attacks in Mumbai should remind every American that the threat of Islamo-Nazi terror remains very urgent and very real. Reports suggest that just ten terrorists succeeded in massacring 200 innocents and paralyzing India’s financial capital for days. The attacks also show the danger of retreat in the terror war: since the Congress Party took over India in 2004, with overwhelming support from Muslim voters, they’ve cut funds and urgency from the nation’s desperately needed counter-terror efforts. Since that time, more than 4,000 Indians have died—more terror victims than any nation other than Iraq. President-elect Obama may want to concentrate on economic issues, but his first priority must remain continuing the admirable security record compiled by President Bush in the seven years since 9/11, and continuing to protect our nation from devastating assault.

Focusing on the "Nazi" part
There is a psychological warfare element to 911 and Mumbai most people are effected by but don't see. Hitler had people working on a system to control people's minds. Figuratively speaking I thought that a "booster shot" of 911 stuff was over due. It is a comination of images and words that are subconciously attacking. This time it seems like they are hitting people on their mother complex. Mom-bye-a mother tortured and killed as baby watches-Could well have been planed by Nazi mind controllers, the renameing of the city. The US ally Pakistan apparentlly doing it. And so we give mother Clinton a pass as we feel guilt plagued. The stupid pawns who carry out the attacks aren't the sophisticated brain washers who dream all this stuff up to control the masses.

Bravo, Michael..

From what I can tell, this is the only article, now, on PC Townhall regarding the Muslim Jihadist attcks in India.. and for the benefit of the self-loathing-biggoted Libs here, the Sub-Humans also "tortured" the targeted "Whites", including Brits, Americans and Jews, prior to their slaughter.

Of course, the Citizens of India are denied guns for their self-defense, while the Police on the scene could have easily picked off the small number of Terrorists at the train station but they refused to shoot them according to a cameraman. And, No thanks to our US LSM for their minimal coverage & their usual PC coverups..as well as our seeming lack of political leadership.. now to be expected..

Can we ever stop with the blog bloviating and the BDS (Bush Derangement Syndrone) long enough to consider what will happen to us when the I.F. Terrorists launch their massacres right here in the US.. Many of them are here just waiting orders, and you can bet your life they are planning something much bigger for us Infidels, and guess what:

Facts Matter
Bush is no hero - that's for sure. But to constantly say that he hasn't found and killed the people that got us on 911 is ridiculous. All but a few of them are DEAD!!! Osama is DEAD or on the run and his side-kicks are all DEAD or on the run. Let's discuss the facts fairly to judge a very dangerous situation accurately. These Obama loving left wingers posting here wouldn't even have gone into Afghanistan after 911. They'd send in the CIA and that's about it. Stop the spinning.

What liberties?

Getting on an airplane without an hour's wait. Traveling to Canada without a passport. Buying chemicals for amateur rocketry. Borrowing library books without the federal government recording it. Buying a plane ticket for cash. Any kind of anonymity while online. Any kind of private communication over the web. Any kind of cash business dealing. Privacy of medical records.

But I've been lucky. There are people who can't get on an airplane because they have the same name as, not a terrorist, but as someone accused of associating with people who might have communicated with terrorists.

There are others who have been held indefinitely when no charges were made.

Don't bother to make the inane comment that these things were only done to terrorists because you don't know who is being held or why. It is against the law for you to know.

If you did know, and mentioned it online, you could be charged with violating national security.

So if these things aren't too much, what is too much? Confiscation of all guns? Passports for traveling inside the US? Censorship of TV, radio, the internet? Political re-education camps? Gulags? Torture? Mass executions for treason?

Now why don't you name the real reason that you don't give a damn about liberty? If you are like most of the religious right then it is because your religion doesn't allow for liberty. For them it isn't terrorism that is the threat, it is a competitor to their fantasies - Islam.

Christianity would punish people for their thoughts. A Christian government must do the same which is why it will always support censorship.

The Christian god sees all and knows all. A Christian government must do the same, hence there is no right of privacy.

Liberty and Christianity are not compatible. A religion that forces people to their knees and demands unconditional obedience will not respect liberty.

Varagon you're kidding right?
Even the Pentagon publicly admits that Bush foriegn policy has been a leading factor in AQ morphing from a small group of terrorists cells to a worldwide McDonald's style franchise.

Paulson, Bernanke and Summers are Jews ... and, according to your twisted logic, they are the equivalent of Muslim terrorists. WOW!!!
I agree with the other commentator -- this is pathetic.

Global innocence disappearing
with these terrible attacks in India. (Somehow we ignored the attacks on our own soil, in Spain, and around the world and went back to sleep.)

But the attacks in India jolted us out of our slumber. Some awoke to immediately blame Bush (No matter the subject, Bush did it!), and some sputtered about the low key Indian police, unarmed and lacking in means to quickly defuse commando terrorism.

Bottom line is hundreds were killed and a major economic power was shut down. Families are grieving; the world is shocked.

American's were forced to move away from our Thanksgiving feasts to stare at the news--with a premonition that our country may be next again.

Hearts thumping, stomaches churning, we need to get past our primeval fight or flight response to this latest attack on world peace. An attack on India is as an attack on our soil. We are brothers in this war.

Cool heads in government and in the press need to take the lead in applying this lesson to the US. We don't need leaks; we need leadership and statemanship.

I pray Obama can rise to the task and that Pres. Bush can finish his turn on deck to keep this nation safe from terrorists on our soil.

I believe we need to petition God according to our understanding and pray for wisdom and courage. King Solomon's prayer for wisdom fits our situation.

American history shows countless examples of dire circumstances reversed at the last minute-- from the American Revolution to the last terrorist plot quietly foiled.

Do we need the help of God any less now? But turning back to God usually
requires some cleaning of the inner vessle before we can exert much faith.

Today is a good day to begin with ourselves to repair our relationship with God and to petition His help to preserve this nation (and the world).

Issue of guns
India has strict gun laws, the people can't defend themselves from gunmen.

Eerily, the dems want to strip our citizens of our rights to bear arms to protect ourselves.

As if our gov at the national, state, and local level can do be everywhere during acts of terrorism and violence.



Scary.

Roy and PG, please
Most of your liberal buddies are clinching the old aperture tightly about now worrying if Obama will be up to the challenge. We all better hope he is. The Islamo-facists will be coming for you two first.

Childish discussion above
What idiots you are (in the comments above) taking this opportunity indulge in the only topic you know - what you hate about the Bush presidency. Wassamtter litttle boys?- too scaredy cat to discuss terrorism without retreating to your talking points. Now that Bush's era is ending, if you little boys (in PJ's in your Mommy's basement, no doubt) want to hate a father figure - you will have to direct that unexamined childish hatred at your savior, Barrack Hussein Obama....or just shut up (I'd prefer if you did the latter).

What liberties have you lost? Give some examples.

No Matter How Many Times Medved
praises Bush, Bush is still a lousy president.

Medved refuses to acknowledge the fiasco that is the Bush presidency. Why? Because Bush is religious. That's all that you have to be for Medved to praise you.

How much loss of liberty is enough, Medved? How much arbitrary presidential power is enough? How much national debt is enough? How much crony capitalism is enough? How many bailouts is enough?

The answer is that as long as it serves God, no amount is too much.

Medved will never be satisfied until America is a theocratic nightmare run by people who think that Darwin was the devil.

Yet you have no problem when the libs call Bush a Nazi. Go figure.
Skagway guy writes: Monday, December, 01, 2008 6:18 AM
Remind
Wrong, Mr. Medved.

What the attacks should remind us is that in the 7+ years since 9/11, George W. Bush has failed to find the monsters who attacked us.

What the attacks should remind us is that in the 7+ years since 9/11, George W. Bush's invasion of Iraq has created MORE terrorists in the world, not fewer (according to our own NIE reports).

What the attacks should remind us is that in the 7+ years since 9/11, George W. Bush will be relegated to the dung heap of history as the single worst President ever.

Words matter
We have "feminazis" and "soup nazis" and now "Islamo-Nazis". One of the surest ways to forget the horrors of the past and thus dishonor the victims of the Holocaust is to muddy up the language.

There is little akin to nazism in the Islamic extremists besides our antipathy toward their tactics and ideologies. And neither are the terrorists some hybrid of Islam and Nazism-- a very ugly implication considering the history of Judaism. Your attempt to link the two together is counterproductive in communicating the nature of the threat.
