We Love Pepsi. They Love Death.

Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


Y’know, when I see videos of young Muslim young men slicing their heads with straight razors in a frenzied jihadic pep rally, and then I see videos of our young pimps and thugs, or our Queer Eyed for Straight Guy males and our Darwinian throw back Jack Ass 2 droogies, I get a real bad feeling. It’s the feeling that if our civilian teens/twentysomethings were ever to go toe to toe with post-pubertal Islamic terrorists that our young ‘uns would get hammered like a loose board at John DiResta’s house.

Our soft and stupid culture is setting us up to be no match for these Muslim youth who are being wet nursed in Islamic death cults, being fueled with Muslim madness in a land with zero economic opportunity and are feasting feverishly on a steady diet of Anti-American disdain.

Yep, all things being equal, I believe they will eventually clean our kid’s clock if we don’t get a pro-American, kiss-my-butt attitude back into our warp and woof. These Muslim boys who currently reside across the sea (and some across your street) are not your normal young men.

This is sort of a problem for me. Why? Well, once again, Muslim young men dig jihad, and our youth love hair gel, teeth grills and blue jeans that are 17 sizes too big. Al Qaeda operative Maulana Inyadullah put it succinctly, “[Americans] love Pepsi, and we love death.” This is not some moody, PMS phase Islam is currently going through. This is their MO.

I believe that if we, as a nation (especially young adults), don’t toughen up a bit—and do it quick—that we’re not going to have the long-term stuff to cudgel off these persistent zealots. As I begin to stare at my 44-year mark and try to see down the road regarding the land my girls and their kids will inherit, I begin to shake like Shemp when he didn’t have any cheese at the real possibility of the end of this great American experiment.

I believe our increasingly effeminate culture doesn’t stand a long-term chance in hell against Muslim mayhem—unless we beef up a bunch and get back some of the now-endangered American resolve. And that goes for every American—whatever your politics, sexual bent and musical taste. If we don’t recognize and realign spiritually, physically and politically to stave off these death dealers, then within 50+/- years we will be another head on Muhammad’s trophy room wall.

Don’t believe me? Look across the pond. Europe is history as far as their heyday goes. With diminishing birth rates and a thinning of skin, it won’t be too long before the EU is Islam’s prison chick . . . mop head wig, lipstick and all. For a more in-depth and disturbing look into how Europe is cooked, get Mark Steyn’s latest book, America Alone.

Having run out of analogies, adjectives and time, let me put this to you in a song I wrote (to be sung to the tune of “Imagine,” by John Lennon).

Imagine there's no America
It's easy if you try
Just a big Muslim mess
No Stars and Stripes to fly
Imagine all our people
Living as Islamic slaves.

Imagine there's no Country and Western
It isn't hard to do
No baseball or hot dogs
as far a freedom goes, we’re screwed
Imagine all our pretty girls
wearing black little sheets.

You may say that I'm a doom-n-gloomer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll wake the heck up
And our nation will still be strong.

Imagine there’s no possessions
That’s the Muslim plan
No need for Ford or Chevy
A veritable Suckistan
Imagine all our people
Losing all we have.

You may say that I'm a doom-n-gloomer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll wake the heck up
And our nation will still be strong.

Look to thomas sowell
Thomas Sowell once wrote something like this:

When the war for the culture comes down to the barbarians and the wimps, the barbarians will win.

It's hard to believe that our hope will be southern rednecks, cowboys, farmers and hillbillys. You know, everybody the libs really look down on.

Who We Are
Well, sir, if I may be so bold, while all of them do love death, not all of us love Pepsi. Some of us love tofu -- yum! Some of us love piercing our tongues. Some love golf. We love so many things. Is our culture "soft and stupid"? Well, yes, in some ways. But this is exactly the point of my "Colossus" (sorry for the repetition)

http://forgottenprophets.blogspot.com/2006/10/colossus.html

quoted in its entirety below:

***

Do they understand us? Do they think that what they see on TV and in Hollywood movies is who we are? Do they think that bikini waxing and tribal armband tattoos and hair gel is the heart of our culture and substance of our souls? We have grown foolish, no doubt -- distracted and silly and self-absorbed. We have grown middle aged and youth-obsessed, and we have looked to our own comfort more than is fitting of our heritage.

Do they think that's who we are? That would be a mistake that will soak their feet in blood. At the core of even the softest of us, the weakest, the most foolish and unfocused, the most irresolute and self-loathing, in the soul of even the least American of Americans, there burns a tight bright flame that has been fed on liberty and loyalty and devotion to the highest human aspirations. If the shade of young Army Specialist Casey Sheehan could rise from his grave to comfort the deranged and tormented, the grief-stricken and broken heart of his mother Cindy, she might gather in the strings of her soul and knit them into something firm and strong. She is American, and America has the example of God, in welcoming home prodigals. Strength can come from weakness, as Casey Sheehan was born to his mother.

America is courage. It is nobility. It is valor and the salvation of the world. No it isn't? Of course it isn't. But it is. It is, as long as idealism has a place within reality. So I don't know what the enemy is planning, for our imminent elections. Perhaps they think they can influence us. If they have any understanding at all, any merest hint as to what mettle we are made of, they will lie still as the hare in the wolf's den, hoping to find a moment to flee, hoping to escape notice. For we are not, no, never -- we are not Spain.

Some other nation will falter and fall, bend and break, be cowed by the hard looks and rank emotion of the brigand and the oppressor. But this nation will look first with disdain, then amazement, and then with fierce resolve at those who threaten and torment and kill. We will feel shock, of course, should we be struck. We are real people, not cartoons. We will be confused or afraid, some of us. But we've felt it before, and we expect it again, and when it comes, it will not overwhelm us but rather lift us on a swelling tide of righteous wrath that will wash the desert lands in sorrow and dismay. So what, then? What is there to say?

Don't tread on me. Don't try it, and don't think you can. Because it is you who creep in the dirt, not I. It is you whose mouth is dry with dust, whose veins are thick with malice, whose heart needs the heat of hatred to animate your sluggish soul. There is no field on which you can prevail. I will nail your skin to the wall if you raise your head against me. I am content to leave you be. I would take no notice of you. The world is large enough for many ways, and you are welcome on my paths as I should be on yours. But if you think to strike at me, again, your time of celebration in your streets and on your rooftops will end. Laughter will die in your throat and anguish will poison all your days. Your children will scatter your grave with ashes, and the apples of sodom will be their only food.

Tuesday, then, America chooses the future. No course will run straight, and no captain or crewman is without fault. But we are presented with the clearest of choices. Spain, in voting for capitulation after the attacks in Madrid, at least had an excuse. It had been viciously attacked, and reacted in the passion of its fear. What will our excuse be, if we vote to throw down our arms? Shall we scream and hitch up our skirts and flee to the safety of a stool, because we have seen, merely seen a serpent? Shall we skulk and slouch in far corners, brave enough only to mutter and cast resentful looks?

Liberty does not slouch. She does not bend. She stands at the coast, facing east, a colossus, and she is beautiful and fearsome, and she demands as much as she gives.

This is my choice. This is what I vote for. This is what the enemy must be reminded we are. This is what the enemy fears. This is who we are.

***

Yes, I am a bit gungho. That's just me. Will they "clean our kid's clocks"? My son is over there, cleaning some sundials. You're missing a vital point about young people. They are not set in their character. They are redeemable. Even their violence may be turned to good. Again, if I may quote myself,

http://forgottenprophets.blogspot.com/2006/03/oil-and-semen.html

"If we take as our premise the theme ... that within a generation Islam will be the dominant European ethos – then we must also consider that however decadent and effete Europeans currently are, they certainly need not remain so. When a young man, say, ethnically French – I should say, Gallic – looks around him and sees his country not just swarming with, but coming to be controlled by, ethnic Arabs, what might you imagine his response could be? However self-indulgent was the generation of his parents – however profligate and selfish and feckless the boomers and busters of the passing socialist cohort - are we to imagine that ennui is a genetic condition? – passed on like a mutated chromosome? No. Weak men can have strong sons. In any case, racism is a force sufficient to overcome any manner of malaise or torpor. Combined with the manifest fact that one’s culture is not just being rivaled, but supplanted and repressed, the predictable, perhaps inevitable response – given the template of universal experience – is war. In this case, civil war. Racial civil war. Young men, it seems – violent, impulsive, bigoted or idealistic young men – do have a purpose. It isn't only, um, 'North African youths' who can riot - and les jeunesses françaises need not tantrum only over crib-to-crypt welfare perks, as they did this weekend.

"If 'ethnic cleansing' can happen in, um, the former Yugoslavia, why not in France? Is France more civilized? I smile, sadly, and suggest that civility is not a trait for which the French are renowned. Chauvanism is a word of French origin."

The dark side of human nature has its purpose. As for your take on *Imagine*, there is my "Fortress al-Islam"

http://forgottenprophets.blogspot.com/2006/10/fortress-al-islam.html

But it is merely a cautionary fable. The reality is that we still do have iron in our souls. From the vitiated womb of a Cindy Sheehan, came a hero.

"It's hard to believe that our hope will be southern rednecks, cowboys, farmers and hillbillys."

That's my family you're talking about, and it's a very comforting thought that we still have them.

Among the rednecks you have enough weapons and ammunition to kill the entire planet, as well as the will to do so if necessary/not sufficiently restrained.

I love those guys.

The Guardians
Japan thought we were soft when they attacked Pearl Harbor. They came to think differently not much after the event. We are not France. We are not Spain. If islamofacists want to take on THE BIG DOG, they better come ready to run off with tails between thier legs. There are a lot of pansy boys running around this country, mostly Dems but plenty of Reps too. The thing is, we are a big country, with lots of different types of people. The tough ones are guarding the sorry butts of the wimps right now. There will always be plenty of brave, noble and tough young americans to pull the rest of the countries fat out of the fire. Being a Vet myself, I know a little of what I speak. Having served with some of these men and women, I have no trouble sleeping knowing they are out there watching over me and mine through the night. Neither should you.

Funniest thing I've read today...
...Just out of curiousity, do you know what your scary, scary Jihaders have trouble doing?

Reproducing.

I'll take my Pepsi and shot at offspring....thanks.

Where have I heard this before?
Oh yeah, now I remember.

"How can I pardon you?
Your children have forsaken me.
and have sworn by those who are no gods.
When I fed them to the full,
they committed adultery
and trooped to the houses of harlots.

They were well fed lusty stallions
each neighing for his neighbor's wife.

Shall I not punish them for these things?,
says the Lord;
and shall I not avenge myself on a
nation such as this?


Behold, I am bringing upon you
a nation from afar,
says the Lord.

It is an enduring nation,
it is an ancient nation,
a nation whose language you do not know,
nor can you understand what they say.



The Real Problem
We do have a whole lot of amatuer wimpettes, just as Giles suggests. But we also have a lot good folks who are tough enough and smart enough to save the day. We call them the United States Military. We do have the means to defend ourselves and to project that defense anywhere in the world. The problem lies in the seats of power. We have a government beholden to the United Nations and world opinion. We have radical leftists who, when not abundantly demonstrating the tyranny of the minority, screech about not being unilateral and whine about imagined war crimes and generally try to make us all feel guilty about being Americans. We have a press corps (most of them radical leftist) who can't find anything good to say about us and can't find anything bad to say about our enemies. So it may look like the barbarians will win. And, heaven forfend, there is an outside chance they will. But I'll leave it to the core of this country - the rednecks and cowboys, farmers and hillbillies - to save the day. They not only have the will, they do have the firepower and they have the smarts.

(Contd.)
"Their quiver is like an open tomb,
they are all mighty men.
They shall eat up your harvest and your food;
they shall eat up your sons and your
daughters,
they shall eat up your flocks and your herds;
they shall eat up your vines and your
fig trees.
Your fortified cities in which you trust
they shall destroy with the sword.


An apalling and horrible thing has happened
in the land.

The prophets prophecy falsely and the priests
rule at their discretion.

My people love to have it so,

but what will you do when the end comes?"

Jeremiah 5:15-17, 30-31


And we think the Republicans are going to save us.


Jack H
Glad you saw fit to repeat your essay here. Your premise coincides with my hope and belief. The British heroes who won the battle of Britain were arguably far more effete and disaffected than our young people today. When its fight or die, fighters arise. In our case, may it be many enough and soon enough. The good guys don't always win.

Kraut
If push ever really does come to shove, its going to get bloody here in the states. The hundreds of thousands of silent Muslims here who are not out there visibly critisizing the Jihadis and supporting American culture and their position in it are in for a nasty shock. I am of German ethic background, my uncle fought in the AEF in WWI and my cousins in WWII. In WWI, German-Americans were pulled from their homes and beaten in the streets. My grandfather went out and bought a Colt .32, still a prized possesion. If the Jihadis ever succeed in waking the slumbering giant, look out. Local Muslims will be scapegoated. We used the Bomb once to save American lives. Do they think we won't do it again? Thasic is right, why do these folks mistake prosperity for weakness?

Ya'll are too funny
In a pathetic sort of way. You all sound like Charles Hamilton in "Gone With the Wind" - "We kin lick the Yankees in a week!" "A Southerner can lick ten Yankees!" "Gentlemen always fight better than rabble!"

You are all wrong. Terribly, horribly, painfully - wrong. This is our Gotterdammerung... we have let our guard slip and slip and slip until we have no walls at all. We have depleted our military, by cutting their funding for even simple replacement parts to keep tanks and jeeps and F-16s moving; by sending them out into every single squabble to be nursemaids to the world; and by coddling them to the point where they have to overcome their own leadership with a chit to see the chaplain, and a voucher that says they can't be yelled at any more today by their DI.

At home, instead of voting out the scum who would take away our individual rights, or slashing the throats of those who repetitively attack and molest women and children, we forgive and try to cure and try to understand. We discuss. We blog ad infinitum. We rant and rave. We are sound and fury, signifying NOTHING. Meanwhile, parents insist that their children, caught time and again invading other peoples' rights or destroying other peoples' property, scream, "Not MY Child!" right up until the day the brat becomes a murderous criminal, and then they say "Don't shoot him! It wasn't his fault! You wouldn't give him the help he needed!" We have our hands out to take all that we can from others and our government, insisting that we deserve it, are OWED it.

We will get EXACTLY what we have been demanding, pleading for, insisting on. And - we deserve it. There are not enough of us left who are still bold enough to carry our own weapons, fight our own battles, raise, kill and cook our own food, repair our own machinery, raise our own children under the banner of responsibility, and lead the country back to personal responsibility and independent rights. We are completely outnumbered by the women who dream of six more pairs of shoes, a lifetime nanny to raise their children so that they can have their freedom to play or work, and the latest sexy movie star to fantasize about; and by the men who want a bigger car and a bigger house and more Nintendo games with which to play at being vicious killers of zombies and manly men.

Rhett Butler was right, just ahead of his time.

consolation
One consolation, it will be the effeminate, liberal Northeast who will suffer first, then the invaders will engage the backbone of this country....the Midwest, South and West (exception California) and find what this country is really about.

macarthur
True, but that is cold comfort to those of us who had the misfortune to have been born in the Northeast and the tenacity to remain here, attempting to stay the course while so many turned turtle.

A few of us here can still hit what we're aiming at, but I suppose when we are gone, the dhimmis will regard us as having given up our lives in vain, rather than simply surrendering to the inevitable.

Pistol
I second your thoughts. I have been telling those who will listen that when the next terrorist attack by Muslim extremists happens, and it kills say 100,000 or more, the Muslims in this country will have bulls eye targets on them. Not that I say it is a good thing. But it will be the case.

Excellent posts!
Jack H, I especially wish to thank you! I needed to hear what you so eloquently have said.

I still have a fear of Tuesday. The left does not seem to understand that we are truly in a war, and it is not our choice to fight or not. The enemy will continue to engage us, but if we pull out of Iraq, it will be at a place of their choosing. I am afraid it will take a more devastating attack on America before the left wakes up to the fact that these people want us all dead or subjugated.

As for the comments about rednecks, cowboys and farmers....thank God for them! I live in the midwest where life and attitudes are VERY different than those in liberal enclaves in America. My son (high school freshman) began talking about a career in the military about a year ago. He is in the ROTC, and I am very proud of him. As a mother, it is frightening to think of him growing up and being sent into harm's way, but I know he is serious about this, and I would feel safe knowing that people like him are the ones protecting us. I was highly offended by Kerry's recent remarks about the military (no matter how much he claims he was not slamming them...we all know better). My son is very bright and could do whatever he wants, he feels the call to military duty because he loves his country (maybe this is a foreign concept to someone like Kerry).

I will continue to pray that Americans do the right thing on Tuesday. And once the elections are over I will continue to pray for America. This is a great country!

How you heard about
http://www.ThePeaceAlliance.org

Read about it at

gwinnettdailypost.com in Family & Spirit Section
titled "Politician Uncovers Peace Plot"

perhaps this little revelation will help those on "fence" with the decision of who to vote for to represent "them".


WHEN WE TAKE
Politics and politicians out of the war room, and allow our trained military leaders to lead, then America can once again kick third world countries and their little monkey leaders back a couple of centuries. The key is to plug up the voice of the left, run this country as if Ronald Reagan was still president, John Wayne was the VP, and Lou Dobbs was the Secretary of defense.

Yes, be vigilant of all the silent Muslims who walk among us, they are here for a reason.

Islam
Islam is an ideology.

Its an ideology likened to Communism.

Muslim people you may live next too, work with, play with are possessed by . You have seemingly everything in common with Muslims but THEIR INNERMOST THOUGHTS that are formed by this Murderous CULT and their violent covenants of the Koran and Hadith that really hates all of America as they work to their openly expressed goal of everyone must become Muslim or suffer the consequences of intolerance.

Ignore Islam and you give up your freedom eventually, much of which we lost already as denial has set in. Witness airports, monument sites, work sites etc.

Detroit is a virtual enclave of Muslims in certain areas you dare not tread as are parts of Baltimore. The enemy(Islam) is here and we are too ignorant to recognize it for the violent murderous cult it is and always was. 1400 years of murder and mayhem and no matter what you read of violence in tens of countries, Muslims are involved.

Here for a reason? That sound sinister!
You mean to imply that (11) ELEVEN Hamas cells are in America to do some awful mischief?

http://www.AmericanCongressForTruth.org
There is a big video here that takes a fast link.

Red Necks? You guys don't mean American Irregulars do you? America has the most dangerous Irregulars in the World. A Japanese Invasion Force was headed for California the last time Irregulars were called up.(FDR)
When Japan learned about our Irregulars, the Invasion Fleet just turned North to the Alutes.
Those Irregulars would make the Serbs in Kosovo look like Campfire Girls.

Paul
You're right-on in your analysis of Islam. I am originally from the Detroit area and have lived and worked with Arabs for many years. I have yet to meet one that I like or trust.

I've been warning people about the Arabs since the early '80s. Lying, deceiving and hate is an accepeted part of their culture. In fact they wear it like a badge of courage.

I live in Northern Michigan now, and we would welcome any of these muslim punks to stir up trouble in our area. You can bet the red necks and good old boys would take care of business real fast.

Thank God we still have men living in the mid west and the south, I'd had to have to rely on the girly boy leftists of the NE and the "Hollywood" left coast.

We're not only fighting the Islamofasists, but we're also fighting a "Cold Civil War" here in the U.S. against these leftist knuckleheads, or like Bill O'Reilly politely calls them - the Secular Progressives.

MyOpine
Is absolutly right !! Last I heard, there are somewhere in the neighborhood of 225 MILLION firearms in the hands law abiding citizens in this country... And if the Salami/Jahadi freaks ever do decide to storm the beach, well... let's just say that will be a very, very bad day to be a muslim

Sorry about all the Posts
When I hit Post Message I got a page that said I had no access to whatever so I kept trying and tried one more time.

TeamNRA
You may already know this, BUT;
When England called THEIR Irregulars during WW2,
They showed up with antique MUSKETS and PITCHFORKS!
England was BEGGING our NRA to send them any kind of gun we could spare.
Yes we did and they were confiscated and melted down after the war!

And While We ...
keep our eyes on Detroit and Baltimore, we also need to watch our backs. Our backs being Mexifornia, Mexizona, New New Mexico, Texico and Mexirado for the 105 million illegals set to plague us in the next 3-5 decades if the Dems and Rinos in the Senate have their way.

As for the Islamists, they are a fatalistic bunch [Ah, it is the will of Allah] and cannot accept nations like the US where we are free [relatively speaking] and have a lifestyle like no other in all history. They cannot bring themselves to look at us and say, Ah, it is the will of Allah that the United States be this way. In Israel, there is another democracy surrounded by fatalistic Arabs who cannot accept Allah's will that this be so. So they choose death. The Bible says that those who hate God, love death. The Koran nowhere speaks of the desert god of the Muslims as a "God of Love."
We have enough nuclear weapons on board one of our nuclear subs to obliterate Syria and Iran. We wont use them, of course, preferring the PC path of placing our own citizens in mortal danger with the hope that we will not be attacked. The Jihadists know this; the Taliban and al qaeda know this; the mullahs in Iran and Bashir in Syria know this. So let's start the war as soon as we tie one hand behind our backs and agree to a lot of rules our opponents don't need to heed.

Threat from Islam
To meet the Islamic Jihad challenge, we have to admit that there is such a threat, and our politicians as well as the media have not done so. They have danced around the truth by such things as Bush saying Islam is a peaceful religion or the Bitish police saying the bombings in London were not because of Islam. All of this is in line with Islamic propaganda which goes even farther and calls Israel a terrorist state and American's war criminals. Political correctness is not the law of the land but if we are not vigilant it can become the law of the land like the hate law in Canada whicih forbids people from criticizing Islam. Criticizing Islam does not mean that all Muslims are terrorists it means investigating in public for all the world to watch the connection between, terrorist, Islam and the Koran. If Muslims feel there is not any connection then fine let them tell it to, Alcaeda, let them protest against Osama Bin Laden or Alcaeda in Iraq or Islamic Jihad, or Hamas or Hezbollah, not about what the Pope says or cartoons.

MyOpine and TeamNRA
Not all of those guns were handed in; some were secretly kept as an act of quiet civil disobedience. There is a lesson here: resist registration!! If guns are registered then there are many ways that can be used to take them. Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI) tried to pass a law requiring registration of handguns (at first) with the IRS and an annual tax on each gun. Then there are the early morning raids. Also the gun buy back schemes where you can get $25 or so for each gun turned in, no questions asked. Since nobody in their right mind will hand over a gun that cost $300 or more for peanuts it's an invitation to steal; with registration lists (which must be available to anyone) thieves can prepare their shopping lists and will know whose homes to burglarize.



I Wish
all of this macho description of todays American was true, but sadly what Peaches wrote is closer to the truth. Americans won't stand up for ourselves even on the small stuff. Why do we think that when push comes to shove we will all of a sudden become defenders of our freedom? You ask any student who is a product of America's government run schools, what they know about Islam in regards to America's freedom and they would not even recognize Islam as the threat that it is. They are being taught to have disdain for this "imperialist" nation they call home not for their Country's sworn enemies. Kids today do not understand or value what freedom is and that it has to be continually gaurded and fought for. Those we are graduating from our pulic schools are the future of this country. I have a feeling the threat is not losing to our enemies in battle. It will be because we will just hand it over.

Allah or Jesus? by Rick Mathes

Last month I attended my annual training session that's required

for maintaining my state prison security clearance. During the training session there was a presentation by three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim faiths, who explained each of their beliefs.

I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam had to

say. The Imam gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam

complete with a video. After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers.

When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Imam and

asked:"Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world. And, that by killing an infidel, which is a

command to all Muslims, they are assured of a place in heaven. If that's the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?"

There was no disagreement with my statements and without

hesitation, he replied, "Non-believers!"

I responded, "So, let me make sure I have this straight. All

followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith so they can go to Heaven. Is that correct?"

The expression on his face changed from one of authority and

command to that of a little boy who had just gotten caught with his hand

in the cookie jar. He sheepishly replied, "Yes."

I then stated, "Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine

Pope John Paul commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith or

Dr. Stanley ordering Protestants to do the same in order to go to Heaven!"

The Imam was speechless.

I continued, "I also have a problem with being your friend when

you and your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me. Let

me ask you a question. Would you rather have your Allah who tells you to kill me in order to go to Heaven or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to Heaven and He wants you to be with me?"

You could have heard a pin drop as the Imam hung his head.

Needless to say, the organizers and/or promoters of the

"Diversification" training seminar were not happy with Rick's way of

dealing with the Islamic Imam and exposing the truth about the Muslim's

beliefs.

I think everyone in the U.S. should be required to read this, but with the liberal justice system, liberal media, it probably won't happen.




MyOpine
Winston Churchill is his book "Their Finest Hour" describes his sense of helplessness after the British Army left their weapons on the beach at Dunkirk. He also describes his relief as the first shipload of Springfields and model 1917 Enfields and a few thousand Thompsons arrived. He wrote he at last felt they had a fighting chance to deal with any invasion that succeeded to cross the channel. Later shipments included American personal weapons donated by sympathetic Americans, with ammunition taped to the gunstocks because of the wild variety of calibers. These weapons were of course destroyed, not returned. So what!?? Slick Willy tried to destroy a couple hundred thousand Garands and M14's. The NRA and other people and organizations raised so much heII that Slick Willie, mindful of the 94 pasting, turned the Garands over to the Civilian Marksmanship Unit, where they are available for purchase by civilians who shoot centerfire rifle target shoots. My belief is that if you are over 65, you are eligible to purchase a Garand without being on a formal rifle competition team. Time for you WWII dogfaces to buy one to leave to your grandchildren. I've got one. You should see my daughter (105 pounds) take out charging beercans offhand at 50 yards.

Hiding the Rev. Haggart...
Where is the story on Townhall.com about the hypocritical "oh, so Reverend" Ted Haggart?

Today, the Townhall home page blurbs feature two articles on John Kerry's "three news cycles gone" old rehashed story about a botched joke, yet there is not a mention of the philandering minister/leader of the evangelicals.

Yesterday, when the story broke and topped the news on every TV network except FOX NEWS - of course - Townhall.com dedicated four blurbs on its home page to "old news" John Kerry and nothing about the "I bought it, but I didn't ingest it" Rev. Haggart and his "male escort shopping spree."

Don't bore me with the he's-not-guilty-until-proven-guilty excuse. The preacher has admitted enough already to put him front and center on the news.

How transparent can this Web site be?

This glaringly obvious "oversight" should be an embarrassement to everyone connected to Townhall.com.

Islam In Michigan
If you read Debbie Schlussel's blog, she is all over the out of control presence of Muslims in Dearborn, Michigan. She calls it Dearbornistan.
Her site is:

She's all over the Islamic threat, as well as border security.

No business like show business.
Doug's got talent.

Ignorant Americans harm us all.
"Doug Giles is doing his readers a disservice as he spreads religious and racial bigotry mixed in with ignorance and irrational fear. There are millions of Muslims who live in the United States right now. They are American citizens who are absolutely harmless. "

When an idiot like this expresses his "feelings" rather than facts we all get hurt. I lived in a muslim country and learned well. It is allowed to "pretend" to be friends with dhimmi but when the time comes they will slit your throat dmathew1 with a big smile knowing that everything that was yours is now theirs. Fool, fool, fool. I beg you to go and visit and listen and learn. Muslims are COMMANDED ti convert, kill or dhimmi all others. Nothing else.

Righteousness at the end of a gun
whether Islam or Christianity is not very good soil to build a nation.

Mr. Giles and his fan club might consider this.

Ten righteous men could have saved Sodom not because they were Rambo's but because of God will honors righteousness more than His desire to destroy the wicked.

Linda, Since You Are Cutting and Pasting
So shall I.

Linda, I found out about Haggart on a Town Hall article at the top of the page.

How transparent can YOU be?

Linda
A very simple response to your question about hypocrites is:

The very center of the Bible, Psalm 118:8

"It is beter to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man."

Man will always fail you because we are human, but God never will.

Laura Root

Linda's talent is to cut and paste..
She pastes the same shallow thought on all Townhall postings. What has been learned from the exposure of the preacher man? Linda'strying to say homosexuality is bad. So what about the newly appointed head of Episcopal Church who approves of homosexual preachers? Or that doesn’t fit your argument, Linda dear? Be consistent. Or do you respect Republicans so much, you hold them to a higher standard?

Reverend vs Kerry?
The importance (or lack thereof) of the reverend in Linda's post is nothing compared to the importance of John Kerry and his ill advised comments about the military. Senator Kerry came within a whisker of becoming the Commander In Chief of the military he so much hates.

dmathew1
So I guess you are leaving soon? After all, if Americans are so dangerous, you should go live somewhere more safe. Oh...there isn't any place safer than living in the USA? Wow, what a revelation. BTW, where do you get the figure of 600,000 civilians killed by the US in Iraq? Oh, right. I forgot. That's the crap being put out by the George Soros backed Leftie websites. Kool-Aid time.

Others have thought that too!
I think you are far too pessimistic. Hitler thought we were too soft, as did Stalin. The young men of this country are best represented by those currently in the military who, I believe, are as good as any this country has ever produced. Certainly there are some useless slugs and human debris out there, but when push comes to shove I think there are enough quality men out there to turn the tide. Our problem is that there are far too many politicians and media types who refuse to admit there is a threat and instead persist in a “business as usual” attitude. Once the threat becomes apparent young men will become warriors just as the grandfathers did.

Take the fight to the enemy
If we were not a culture so dominated by liberal wimps, we would have already taken the fight to the enemy and nuked Medinah and Mecca for the opening salvo.

dmathew1
Please go live in an enlightened country like Cuba, and spare us your liberal wimp fallacies.

As in WW2, when we were fighting the Japanese, the number of dead enemy is up to that enemy. If they refuse to surrender, we keep killing them. It works quite well.

Thank You Doug Giles
I was just thinking earlier today that how I wish for some John Wayne type, you know rough and tough when they are fighting the bad guys but soft as a teddy bear when wiping the tears of a child. I know, I know that happens only in the movies, but I like those kinds of movies where the good guys always win in the end and the bad guys always get the end of a rope.

The stakes in this election are just too high, conservatives must stick together and stick it out. We will have to figure out another way to wake up the folks we elect, but now is not the time to try and teach them a lesson, or maybe they will hear the rooster on the first crow at the crack of dawn and not have to wait for the third one.

I don't think we can win the hearts and minds of the Libs, we just need to save them in spite of themselves because they believe that if we just go play patty cake with Osama, he will call off his rabid dogs......

dmathew1
If they attack us, it is not genocide, it is self defence. Get a clue. BTW, when a war is over, the winners decide who has committed atrocities. Again, if you hate it here so much go and find someplace that you will love.

Fortunately you only have one vote. Or are you one of those Dems who goes around voting in lots of places?

VOTE:THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU CAN DO
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU CAN DO FOR GOD, FAMILY AND COUNTRY


IS TO VOTE!!!


Not just when you have the time to do it, but at every opportunity that is given to you to do it.

If you do not vote, you are leaving your, and your families, fate in the hands of others. A low turnout on Election Day means that a fervent, well organized minority point of view can easily win and push this nation in a direction it might not want to go. The Iraqi people recognized this when 12 million people (almost 80% of the registered voters) faced threats of death from just such a fervent “terrorist” group and voted for democracy; a concept they didn’t quite understand but knew that its liberties would be far better than the tyranny that such a minority group would establish, given the chance.

So when you vote, make sure you know for what you are voting, and the repercussions that might result from an uninformed decision. Find time to study the issues and be committed to them before you choose. Know what groups have opinions and beliefs similar to yours and see what their recommendations on the issues are. Conversely, see what the opinions of those groups you oppose are and study their recommendations, then cast your vote wisely.

dmathew

Democrat is the default option. You have to be able to think to change and become a Republican.

An example of thought

International tribunals won't prosecute obvious cases of genocide as genocide for fear of watering down the term.

"Silent Treatment" You know guys you can't win the hearts and minds of Libs especially the one's trying to claim they are conservative. Maybe if we don't talk to them they will go away, or I guess we could try just being nice to them and maybe they'll stop calling us names, naaaa, I'd rather torture them.

"Japan thought we were soft when they attacked Pearl Harbor."

That's because most tourists and foreign students, like Isoroku Yamamoto, go to looneyland and not the heartland, and they exposed to spineless people that call themselves Americans. It would be reasonable to conclude that those people are every bit as soft as the inhabitants of continental Europe.

Hang out with a redneck, and you'll get quite the opposite impression, if he doesn't scare you away first.

Man, I love this country!

dmathew
You just proved you're not a republican, or you would likely know that "even in name" referred to the RINO term, not your screenname.

The answer to your question, "how many muslim civillians" are we allowed to kill:

Under the Geneva Conventions, as many as are mixed in with military target objectives.

dmathew
Potentially, that could be all of them.

dmathew1
We never advocated murder of anyone. But if innocent Americans are murdered by Islamo Fascists, then all bets are off. It's called revenge. Just like the revenge the USA got for the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
The thing about the winners deciding who is to be tried for genocide is in world wide conflagrations, vis a vis WW2. The Soviets actually killed more than twice as many innocents as the Nazis or the Japanese, but since they were on the winning side they didn't get in trouble for it.
It seems like you feel the USA is not allowed to do what is necessary to keep itself secure. If so, again feel free to leave.

jerubaal

Pretty useless website, Dave.
Telling someone to remain silent is just what happened in Germany in the early '30s. The public kept silent. The Jews died. You are not very astute, Mr Matthews. And Jerubaal is right. If you are a Republican, it is a RINO. But the chances are you don't even know what that means.

Again, you fail to grasp what is reality in the world. The USA was fighting against the Nazis and the Japs in what at the time was seen as a fight for WORLD SURVIVAL. The free countries of the world (USA & Great Britain along with India, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and China) were at war with a triumvirate of military power that was intent on gaining influence in their particular geographic areas by using that military power rather than by the norm of diplomacy and international commerce.
The fact that the USA and GREAT BRITAIN (you left them out in your diatribe) as well as the Soviets chose to make sure that they would win by whatever means necessary was a matter of NATIONAL SURVIVAL by all three countries at the time.
The use of nuclear weapons late in the conflict with Japan actually saved probably 500,000 US casualties (best estimate by the US Chiefs of Staff at the time).
BTW, there were more civilians killed in napalm attacks on Yokohama and Tokyo in single engagements before the nukes on Hiroshima & Nagasaki. Look it up: "Bombers Over Japan" a Time-Life book that was part of the Time-Life WW2 series from the 1980's.
The Dresden thing was not good. The British insisted, and I believe their planes did the bombing, as it was a night raid. The US bombed in the day, the British at night. So don't

From what I've read of him, he doesn't squat about international law.

My answer, "potentially all of them" that are "mixed in with military target objectives" is the correct answer.

There are other standards, but they all probably are beyond the number mixed in with military targets in all cases.

Are you OK with us fighting Germany during WW2?

Wrong again. Most of the TERRORISTS in Iraq are from countries other than Iraq. There are some disaffected Saddam supporters who are still hoping for his return, but the majority of those trying to disrupt the new Iraqi government are from Iran, Jordan, Egypt, Syria etc...
They get most of their support from Iran, with some from Syria. Bullets and bombs aren't free. The money is coming from regimes that are confident that dopes like you will eventually make enough of a commotion that our government will give up the fight.

You wrote:

"How many more soldiers have to die in vain before you concede that America has lost the Iraq war"

Several nuances there. Dying in vain is an assumption that is an opinion, not a fact. Conceding that America has lost the Iraq war is again based on (incorrect) Left leaning perception. The US didn't lose the war in Vietnam, yet it is spoken of in that manner, because the public outcry was so great that we CHOSE TO LEAVE. The outcome was a result of waffeling on the part of our "leaders" at the time who were afraid to make enough of a military statement to the Chinese and the Soviets. BTW, Lyndon Johnson was a Dem.
If the public makes enough of an issue and throws out enough members of congress who have guts, then sure...we could call it a loss. But not a loss on the battlefield. A loss on the home front. Just like Vietnam. But this time the bad guys will be over here, knocking on your door. And knocking down buildings and bridges.
And detonating small nuclear devices in large metropolitan areas.

Such a stench is emanating from one particular writer who has been sent to this site to stir up as much as possible.
The totally unreal "facts" quoted should be sufficient to expose the individual. Sadly, however, he's like the spoiled child who keeps prodding and delighting in getting a reaction from his parents or betters.
On balance, many comments by that individual are seditious. Thus I must wonder why the site manager hasn't simply shut him off as has happened with others.
The mindset of this individual reminds me of a conversation I had with a neighbor a while back.
We were discussing the comments of Senator Durbin who had equated the American Military with Pol Pot's minions, Nazis, etc.
I remarked that in time of war, especially during WWII, such comments would have had the senator escorted off the floor and imprisoned until trial for treason.
The neighbor answered: "Oh, but he's a good Democrat."
That, friends is what you are dealing with.

you peole are ......
.....freaks. Whew. Really freakish. Especially the lefties. Holy crap. This thread started out so promising but has descended into garbage. It was a pretty good article, though.
And, yes, we here in The South will rise up to defend the homeland when the time comes ( as we are now!) and, yes, some so-called "innocent" muslims will be treated harshly then ( as the Japanese in the 40's, etc....); but I'd ask where are the "innocent" and peace-loving Muslims in America and around the world actively trying to stop the Jihad and its' call for a 12th Century caliphate? Where the hell are all these people NOW when we all need them.... don't come crying the blues("for Allah"?) when you're herded into a camp on the Wyoming plain with all your fellow cultists after America loses her patience. Face it: you're outgunned and outnumbered.

dmathew1 says he's a Republican who, oddly, doesn't actually hold any Republican views. Then, he says he's a Christian and writes, "The Bible isn't such a wonderful book, either. Filled with numerous errors and contradictions. Too many to count."

As an amazing coincidence, I'm a Democrat who will be voting for Republicans Tuesday and in 08 because my party keeps telling me that they have a plan for everything but for some reason can't tell me what those plans are.

I'm coming here a little late, but here's my take:


How many civilians can the U.S. kill? It is a matter of proportionality. Read "Among The Dead Cities" by A.C. Grayling. It is an excellent critique of the morality (or lack of it) of area bombing and the use of nuclear weapons on population centers. Killing civilians employed in a war production industry is perfectly legitimate and proportional. Killing those same civilians at home, and also killing their families and neighbors for blocks around is not proportional, and should therefore not be considered.
As for saying that we are a more violent society then Arabic society, I hardly think that deserves a response. I am no fan of genocidal sentiment. I am, however, a realist. Islam may bring about a Holocaust upon itself of staggering consequence if currebt trends continue. I do not advocate for this, I merely make the observation. Israel doesn't play around, and neither do we. An act of nuclear terrorism will result in a retaliation with horrific casualties, and Islamic zealots are pursuing this very outcome. Note that the traditional balnce of MAD becomes inoperative when dealing with a suicidal ideology where killing other Muslims is permisable. They are assumed to become "martyrs", and all bets are off when your enemy is willing to sacrifice their families for religious certainty and hatred.

dmathew,
Howdy.

"I chose the Republican party for a reason at a time in which it was the minority party..."

Whatever for?

"If you represent Republican values, I feel no remorse for rejecting those values."

Actually, I'm not too pleased with the R's of late. But the D's are even worse.

"As to the Bible: Yes, I am a Christian. And: Yes, the Bible is filled with numerous errors."

Just out of curiousity, how about laying 2 or 3 on us?

That's me for bed now, I'll check back tomorrow.

Celt,
Will you be adding a new post to your blog anytime soon? No one else writes on the same subject matter you do. You are missed.

MORE IDIOCY
Note how the poor fool equates sedition with free speech.
There's just no discussion with such types since they start from non-sequiturs and take off from there.
When totally inane and foolish statements are laid down as the basis for discussion, there is no way a normal person can deal with it.
Sort of like the jihadis who think it's just grand to lop heads off, strap bombs to themselves or others and set the munitions off in a place where civilians have gathered.
To them that's probably "free speech" also.

and IF THE SHOE FITS
Note also how - without its name being mentioned - the poor fool instantly knew his place.
Thanx. I needed a good laugh.
