Liberal vs. Conservative Versus Liberal and Conservative
My profile...
Conservative:
Pro winning the war in Iraq.
Pro winning the war in Afghanistan.
Pro low taxes.
Pro very limited regulation.
Pro property rights.
Liberal/Libertarian:
Pro free speech.
Pro life.
Pro gay marriage.
Pro freedom of/of non religion.
That ought to start a firestorm, categorizing as I have.

Well, No, I'm Back Now.
The editor seems a little more friendly now, more than a year on.
Ahem... so, just when you thought it would be safe to get back in my face again I return.
I was on hiatus (hm, the spell-checker in Firefox is online, too. Good) because I was elsewhere. But this time I'm going to take a few people with me back here to make it interesting.
Oh hey, this editor is really quite nice. Good to see they got their shit together. (Yes, first swearword in the first post... that's how I roll).
I'll speak to Obambi's newest switcharoo (Iraq) in a future post, except to say that there's nothing that recommends a future president who thinks he's up for the job more than being entirely wrong about a war.
Oops.
McCain, though I certainly have issues with him, never went Harry Reed ("the war is lost") and limp-wristed on this one. McCain got that important issue right by staying on the fight, and not sucking the testicular protuberances of the America-hating Left.
Ahhh. Nice to break free again, opinionating at will.

I'm Back. Just When Great Britain Left
I've got lots to say about the British servicepeople who were recently released from Iran. However, I'm not going to say it. At least not yet because I really don't know what to think. Instead, I'll quote what former Englishman John Derbyshire recently said on National Review Online.

The Diana-ifictaion of Britain [John Derbyshire]That's not the first thing he's had to say about this.
Iain:
I am at the point with this business about the British hostages where I really can't trust myself to post any more, I'm so mad. Toby Harnden indeed says much of what needs saying, but I think he is too kind to the enlisted men. They are saps and worms, insults to the Queen's uniform. I'd better change track right here—see what I mean?
One thing the whole business has revealed to me is how it is possible to hate your own country, a thing I never understood before. Not that I hate my country—which is, as of five years this coming April 19th, the blessed U.S. of A. I maintain strong sentimental ties to England, though, and I've been burning with anger and shame at the dishonor these giggling buffoons have brought to their country, the country of my ancestors (all English, for as far back as I know), the country I was raised in. Yes, there have been moments when I've hated England.
I've told this story before, so I hope I'll be forgiven for telling it again. My Mum, Esther Alice Knowles (1912-98), eleventh child of a pick'n'shovel coal miner, in one of the last conversations I had with her, said: "I know I'm dying, but I don't mind. At least I knew England when she was England."
I discounted that at the time. Old people always grumble about the state of the world. Now I understand it, though. I even feel a bit the same way myself. I caught the tail-end of that old England—that bumptious, arrogant, self-confident old England, the England of complicated games, snobbery, irony, repression, and stoicism, the England of suet puddings, drafty houses, coal smoke and bad teeth, the England of throat-catching poetry and gardens and tweeds, the England that civilized the whole world and gave an example of adult behavior—the English Gentleman—that was admired from Peking (I can testify) to Peru.
It's all gone now, "dead as mutton," as English people used to say. Now there is nothing there but a flock of whimpering Eloi, giggling over their gadgets, whining for their handouts, crying for their Mummies, playing at soldiering for reasons they can no longer understand, from lingering habit. Lower the corpse down slowly, shovel in the earth. England is dead.

Molly Ivins Got It Right (this time)
The late Molly Ivins, in my opinion one of the most loathsome creatures ever to slither the face of Mother Gaia, nevertheless was apparently capable of getting it right once in a while. But before I proceed with demonstrating exactly how she got it right (this time) I feel the need, yet again, to post my disclaimer about domestic political issues of the interpersonal/social kind.
1: Abortion is not a right any more than it is a right for me to double-tap you in the back of your head just because you're ahead of me in the shopping line and asking for ATM cash back. Despite whatever temptation I might feel, it would still be wrong for me to vent My Justice upon you. This issue is frequently mis-portrayed as a "personal matter" or one between a woman and her doctor. However, since there is a third person involved, usually called the fetus - or in Tony Soprano's words, "the mark" - those terms do not apply. And this is no more a personal choice or privacy issue than it would be if I personally chose to privately whack you. Even if I consulted with my physician first.
2: On real matters of personal conduct, or conduct between two or dozens of consenting adults, I am probably the most liberal person you know. Or libertarian - whichever way you'd like it.
2a: Though I don't use currently illegal drugs, I oppose laws against people choosing to poison themselves.
2b: While I am not gay, and wouldn't get married if I were, I do not object to gay marriage (mostly because I just don't care).
2c: Though I have never to my knowledge committed an act of sodomy (usual Tequila Exclusion Clause applies), I certainly oppose any law that puts anybody else's decision-making ahead of the decision-making of the sodomite - or sodomee - involved.
2d: I oppose laws against free trade. Among these free trade issues is the contractual agreements between consenting adults that include the exchange of sex for monetary consideration. Colloquially known as prostitution.
3: Whatever hasn't been specifically covered above, but falls under the same personal behavior umbrella, is something that should not be a matter of law, police action or politics.
Mostly because I just don't care. And also because I don't see how it makes a lot of goddamned sense to have 50 police personnel engaged in sniffing out Cheech Marin with a bag of Columbia's finest, or a dozen State Troopers staking out roadside rest areas looking for George Michael in a porta-potty, when they just might be a bit more useful looking for, oh say, this guy.
And speaking of narrow-minded assholes who would like to force others to conform to their personal sense of morality and propriety (though not on the level the dickhead shown above), and the reason for this blog, you might want to check out the little clip shown below. I do warn you, however, the content might be seen by some as profusely offensive. Especially if you object to seeing plastic formed in the shape of certain appendages, talk of such devices, or scrawny inbred self-hating-because-they're-secretly-queer bible-thumpers getting humiliated on the floor of the Texas House of Representatives.
(Isn't that guy's last name just friggin perfect for this? Hahahahaha!)
So that's right. In Texas, if you have more than five appliances of a pseudo-phallic nature, or you place your not-pseudo thingy in your wife's egress (but not, you'll note, if you place something plastic in your own egress... ... ... huh - makes ya wonder), then Judge Dredd is going to arrest yer offending Yankee ass and toss it, and the rest of you, in the hoosegow.
I don't know about you, but it just rankles the hell out of me for some dumbass nitwit with a drawl droning on about how he is going to decide for me what I can do in my own friggin house. And it's all so damn hypocritical, too. I mean, what subculture is responsible for bringing into our American lexicon the unique and chilling phrase:

Um, Don't Tell Me I'm Going To Have To Apologize For The Whole "Bigfoot" Thing
Seriously. I've made fun of "those people." UFOs riders, Sasquatch aficionados, believers in pyramids, tarot cards and crystals.
My "spirituality" rating is zero. Maximum.
So, I don't want to hear that "they" found some kind of "foot" in a Virginia landfill. A "foot" that exhibits non-human qualities. Something that's been characterized as having belonged to some kind of "apelike species."
I'm sorry. But when I'm looking for word from the zoological "experts," "apelike species" is really not the slam-dunk answer I'm looking for.
So, until something else happens, I'm sticking to my skepticism. My guess is an orangutan.
Otherwise it's time to break out the Tinfoil Hats and Space Alien Anal Probes. And you know how much I hate that.
Oh, check the byline on that story. This ain't the National Enquirer reporting this.

Somebody Explain to Me Why Egypt Still Ranks High On Our Aid List
Oh, that's right. They're a Muslim country, and this is the Bush Administration. What was I thinking?
Sadly, Abdul Kareem Nabeel Suleiman's family has denounced him for insulting Islam, Egypt and the fucking Easter Bunny - or something like that. Michelle Malkin details the info better than I'm going to bother with - not because I don't care, but because I know how hopeless it is for him to expect any kind of action from Bush's State Department.
Point of perspective here: how loudly would conservatives and Republicans be screaming were it not Bush, but instead Clinton, who had his FBI intentionally ignore domestic Islamist terrorism, and be so completely in bed with with Arab Islamist regimes?
I'm really done with supporting people with the surname Bush. I honestly hope Jeb doesn't run because I'd choke on my intestines were I forced to punch a hole in my ballot with that damn name one more friggin time. I'd vote for Jeb over any of the running (dog) Democrats... I'd even vote for GW or GHW over any of them (and then promptly slice off my right hand). But where do we find a true warfighter? Where do we find somebody who is not beholding to some Arab Emirate? Where do we go to find somebody who is willing to fight the entrenched interests of the US State Department and Central Intelligence Agency - both of which have been captured by the weak-kneed Left? Who will struggle against a decrepit and degenerate Europe?
Right now I'm thinking Rudy. As much as I disagree with him on so very many things. At least one thing about him I do know: because of his personal experiences I know he does not forget the nature of the enemy we face. I get the feeling from him that in those quiet moments of reflection, when a choice has to be made, what will come before his eyes again - an unbidden but irresistible memory - will be that 90 minutes when he personally watched buildings fall and people smashed on sidewalks.
al-Qaeda is rebuilding. Our weakness - Somalia like - in the eyes of our enemies, will bring them to us again. I certainly don't fault the average American for inviting this - most of us only have the time to skim through the daily news and what our leaders tell us. But since what our leaders have been telling us has been 90% Democrat/al-Qaeda propaganda, and only 10% Bush's paltry efforts at leadership, how could we not have come to the conclusion that Islamofascism is not a major concern?
Bush has been so weak on the subject, it looks like a damn campaign prop. Think back to the November elections. Where was the "Bear In The Woods" campaign commercial? Where were the broad strokes? The clear dividing lines?
Where was the choice presented?
Those with the most ability are burdened with the most responsibility. Bush has failed not because he was worse than other presidents, but because he could have been so much more than other presidents.
"I hear you. The rest of the world hears you. And the people who knocked these buildings down will hear from all of us soon."
Oh really.

Hear No Terrorism, See No Terrorism, Speak No Terrorism
Taking their lead from the president, the FBI continues to willfully blind itself to domestic Islamist terrorism – all in the name of sensitivity, no doubt. Unfortunately, the same level of sensitivity is not practiced when it comes to informing the American people about the real dangers they face.
JHC, even his father thinks that his son was trained to do this.
Will somebody please explain to me how this asinine policy of talking down verifiable and obvious instances of terrorism (I’m sorry, there is no domestic terrorism, right?) is supposed to help us understand the dangers that exist? I honestly cannot deconstruct the logic here. Bush wants us to make decisions based on the fact that we’re at war with militant Islam, but every time we get hit domestically by that very same militant Islam his government tells us, “nothing to see here. Move along.”?
Ach! It’s enough to make you pine for John McCain – and how drastic is that?!

FBI agent Patrick Kiernan declared to reporters Wednesday he had no reason to believe the random, dispassionately executed murder of five people by 18-year-old Bosnian Muslim immigrant Sulejman Talovic Monday night had anything to do with Islamic terrorism, calling it "just unexplainable."No reason to believe that... except for the fact that he was a Muslim man between the ages of 16 and 40, and murdered five Americans.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali Speaks at AEI
For all those amateur "experts" on Islam in the West, and those who clearly misunderstand Ayaan Hirsi Ali's message (or worse, attempt to hijack her intent for their own perfidious reasons), you might want to check out her recent speech at the American Enterprise Institute. (see "video" link under "Event Materials" at top right of page).
(pay special attention to her extemporaneous remarks during the question and answer session)

Murtha Takes Aim At Troops (again)
Investors Business Daily has a few words to say about Congressman Jack Murtha (D - al-Qaeda) and many other Democrats. Take a read here for the highlights, but the whole thing is well worth the time.
I think it's pretty clear that we may well be in the final months of the Iraq war. The American people unwittingly gave power to a virulently anti-American Leftist Democrat Party - mostly because Nancy Pelosi was successful in keeping Jack Murtha locked up in her dungeon during the run-up to the November elections. Nevertheless, we get what we vote for, and elections have consequences.
If you look that the survey that was included in this story you'll see some evidence that the American people don't want to "cut and run" from Iraq. Assuming this survey is valid then the Dems will have a surprise in November, 2008. But I'm really much more concerned about what surprises could be in store for the rest of us between now and then if the Democrats are successful in carrying out al-Qaeda's war strategy.
Sadly, and with my usual swipe at the total lack of leadership descending from our president, even if the survey is correct and the American people don't want us to lose in Iraq, George W. Bush won't capitalize on that by telling the American people, in clear and specific terms, what the hell the Democrats are really up to. That might make his buddy Teddy Kennedy a bit huffy, and then they couldn't work together on Bush's next "education" legislation. I haven't seen such a pathetic lack of leadership since the days of Jimmy Carter.
I mean, at least Clinton was willing and able to stick the knife in his enemies. Jesus effing Christ already, George! Grow a ball whydon'tya?
Quote:
| Originally Posted by IBD War On Terror: The party of John Murtha shamelessly seeks to defund and defeat U.S. troops on the battlefield and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. The Congress the terrorists wanted is doing their bidding. ... Now it's the House of Representatives' turn, led by Rep. John Murtha, who believes the fine young men and women we send to defeat terror and our sworn enemies are cold-blooded killers. While the House works on its own nonbinding resolution, Murtha has bigger plans and considers such a resolution only a prelude to the real battle in March over appropriations for the war. ... Murtha plans to stop the Iraq War by placing four conditions on combat funds through Sept. 30, the end of the fiscal year. The Pentagon would have to certify that troops being sent to Iraq are "fully combat ready" with training and equipment, troops must have at least one year at home between combat deployments, combat deployments cannot be longer than a year, and extending tours of duty would be prohibited. "We're trying to force a redeployment not by taking money away, (but) by redirecting money," explained Murtha. As we've noted on several occasions, Democratic talk of "redeployment" has encouraged terrorist groups around the world. Jihad Jaara, a senior member of the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, said before the 2006 vote: "Americans should vote Democratic," adding that "it is time the American people support those who want to take them out of the Iraqi mud." The statement could have come from Murtha, Kerry, Hillary or any number of Democrats. We find it scary that the Democratic and terrorist game plans are indistinguishable. ... It's not that the Democrats think we're losing or that the war is unwinnable. They simply don't want to win it. As House Minority Leader John Boehner said of Murtha's proposals: "While American troops are fighting radical Islamic terrorists thousands of miles away, it is unthinkable that the United States Congress would move to discredit their mission, cut off their reinforcements and deny them the resources they need to succeed and return home safely." ... [Murtha & Co.] are working on the game plan of al-Qaida's No. 2, Ayman al-Zawahiri. In October 2005, Zawahiri outlined al-Qaida's plan in a letter to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, late head of al-Qaida in Iraq: "The first stage: Expel the Americans from Iraq. The second stage: Establish an Islamic authority . . . over as much territory as you can spread its power in Iraq . . . in order to fill the void stemming from the departure of the Americans." John Murtha and his perfidious friends are working on creating that void and completing Zawahiri's first stage. |

Anybody Want To Guess the Religion of The Salt Lake City Mall Shooter?
Well, let's review...
Shooting spree at a Salt Lake City shopping mall
Oh, and I had to go to desertnews.com to find the answer to my question above. AP (no doubt accidentally) missed that little tidbit of info. But not to worry, no doubt George W. Bush and Michael Chertoff will tell us that there is no terrorism within the United States.
Well, actually, I've noticed that there's a subtle caveat that they always include in their pronouncements about this. What they usually say is something to the effect of, "there have been no major terrorist attacks" in the US since 9/11.
So I guess that makes it okay.
