MLK Holiday is an Insult
Jan 21, 2008 General
That little gem according to Dallas minister Peter Johnson. Johnson believes that celebrating King’s birth rather than the date of his death by assassination is an insult to him [King} and all he stood for. Johnson also believes that celebrating the birth of King rather than his death allows whites to escape the guilt of King’s death:
“We have ignored the essence of his life and the horror of his death,” said Johnson. “We’ve allowed white America to escape the guilt of his assassination and we’ve allowed black America to drift back into a coma.” United Press International
The first thing to recognize is that we celebrate the lives of people. We celebrate the life of Lincoln not the date of his assassination and we celebrate the birth and resurrection (rebirth) of Jesus. This minister is focusing on the death of King in order to do what? Does he want to stir more hatred? His assertion that this allows white America to escape guilt. What part of white America is guilty? The only person guilty in the death of King died in jail.
There was no huge conspiracy among all the whites to kill King. One deranged guy with a gun shot King and that man was tried and served life in prison. There might have been a few others associated with the assassination plot but they hardly represent white America. John Kennedy was killed by a white guy and we do not have a federal holiday commemorating his death in order to flourish in white guilt. As a matter of fact, we do not have a holiday celebrating Kennedy’s birth.
Many white Americans who are alive today were not around when King was assassinated and 100 years after King’s death there will few, if any, people around who were here then so why would we have a holiday to perpetuate white guilt? Why would we have a holiday to perpetuate white guilt when few whites were involved?
We celebrate the life of Dr. King by commemorating his birth, the beginning of a great journey. Today in America we have large numbers of blacks and other minorities in positions of great responsibility and we have a black man running for the highest office in this nation with a good chance to win.
Certainly that is the part of the King legacy that matters rather than some perceived notion of white guilt.

Muslims Set Christians Straight on Jesus
Jan 14, 2008 General, Religion of Peace
A new movie is being released in Iran. The movie, Jesus, The Spirit of God, was directed by Nader Talebzadeh who is kind enough to spell out the real story about Jesus Christ. Talebzadeh said that Mel Gibson’s Passion of the Christ was a good movie but that Gibson had it all wrong and his movie sets it straight for us. Talebzadeh tells us that Muslims do not believe Jesus was the son of God and that he was not crucified. Thank God we have the Muslims to tell us the truth so we can stop believing what is written in that pesky book, The Bible.
“It is frankly said in the Koran that the person who was crucified was not Jesus” but Judas, one of the 12 Apostles and the one the Bible holds betrayed Jesus to the Romans, he said. In his film, it is Judas who is crucified.
Islam sees Jesus as one of five great prophets — others being Noah, Moses and Abraham — sent to earth to announce the coming of Mohammad, the final prophet who spread the religion of Islam. It respects Jesus’ followers as “people of the book”. Breitbart
I don’t recall reading in the Bible where these folks were here to announce the coming of Mohammad. I do remember this; “Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves” [Matthew 7:15]. Mohammad was one of the false prophets.
The movie follows the New Testament story of Jesus with a difference. He was not crucified and he was pulled straight to heaven by God. The Muslims say the Koran says that Judas, Jesus’ betrayer, was the one crucified. Once again, I am glad the Muslims cleared that up by correcting what is written in The Bible.
Since the last book of the Bible was written between 70 and 95 AD and Mohammad did not get his visions from Allah until around 610 it is easy to see the Koran was written many centuries after the Bible. The Koran does mention Jesus as a prophet and the Muslims are free to view Jesus this way as do the Jews who also do not believe he was the son of God. However, just because the Koran says that Jesus was not crucified does not make it so. None of the people who wrote the Koran were even around when the events took place. The Koran is a book written by a war mongering pedophile named Mohammad and his followers who is no more of a prophet than Ron Paul is.
This guy Talebzadeh is trying to rewrite the history of the Bible and Christianity by denying its basic tenets. Given that Mohammad is not a real prophet and was nothing more than a child molester, let me make it clear. Nader Talebzadeh has it all wrong.
Imagine how the Muslim world would react if Mel Gibson had done a movie that said the tenets of Islam were incorrect and that Mohammad was not a prophet and that the Mahdi never existed. The Muslims would be banging their heads on a wall and killing each other in riots. Amazingly, we don’t see Christians all over the world rioting or issuing death threats to Nader Talebzadeh for his blasphemy and insult of Christianity.
That is the difference between a civilized religion and a backwards one that follows the rantings of a crazed so called prophet who had sex with a prepubescent girl because Allah told him it was OK to do so.
Maybe we can make our own movie about religion and show Mohammad for the brutal, false prophet pedophile that he was. As for the Mahdi, he is fictional and will not be coming back. When Jesus returns he will not be running around with any Muslims.

Another Reason Gays Should not Serve
Jan 11, 2008 General
I know there are many arguments about whether or not homosexuals should serve in the military. There are many homosexuals who are patriots and who would love to serve their country. Having that desire does not mean they should be able to serve or that they have a right to serve. I have my own views about why they should not serve, openly or otherwise, and many have taken me to task for my views. So be it. However, this story from Stars and Stripes shows how harmful allowing homosexuals to serve can be and this episode shows the dangers involved:
Eighteen British military members and six contractors are having their blood checked for infections and diseases after receiving emergency war-zone transfusions that might not have been properly screened by U.S. officials, British authorities said Thursday.
The transfusions were performed at U.S. military facilities in Iraq and Afghanistan at various times since 2001, according to the British Ministry of Defence.
While U.S. and U.K. policy is to use certified blood products in combat zones, donors are used in emergency situations or when there are supply shortages, according to an MOD release. Policy also dictates that these emergency samples be retrospectively tested to ensure they are clean.
“However, not all of the emergency collections had samples that made it back to the U.S. for retrospective testing,†according to a statement from Derek Twigg, the U.K. undersecretary of state for defence. “This is the key reason for offering testing to the recipients of these U.S. emergency blood collections.â€
Why is this of concern? The blood is retrospectively tested. In other words it is tested after the transfusions. Unfortunately, some injuries require blood quickly and prior to proper screening in order to save a life. The homosexual male population accounts for the majority of HIV cases in the US and Western Europe:
In North America and Western Europe HIV infection and AIDS cases have been concentrated among men who have sex with men and among users of intravenous drugs. In some US cities up to half of homosexual and bisexual men are infected (440) (see Table 1, p. 4). In the population as a whole, however, infection is uncommon–0.12 percent among US military recruits in 1988, for example (442). BNET
Additionally, the US accounts for 60% of the world’s reported cases. This might just be because we have a better reporting system but no matter the reason, the fact is allowing homosexual men to serve would increase the likeliness that emergency transfusions would result in the transmission of the AIDS virus. The reason that the military tests low is because the test is required for entrance into the service which would exclude carriers prior to entry. This means that about 50% of gay men would be excluded from entering. It also means that those who make it through pose a risk to their fellow soldiers because the gays are most likely to get infected. We can exclude IV drug users because they would not make it in and it is unlikely, with drug testing, that those who took up that vice would remain in the service.
This will cause people to make all kinds of excuses and try to rationalize why gays should be permitted to serve. No matter what the argument, allowing them to serve poses a danger to others.
Imagine surviving a terrible injury only to be diagnosed with AIDS. Don’t ask, don’t tell could be a death sentence.

Lying Meatbrain Does it Again
Jan 3, 2008 General
The lying Terry Meatbrain is at it again. Terry likes to call people liars if they do not use the exact words in a quote or title or if it is within his definition of a lie. He attacks a lot of people and calls them liars even when their writing shows they made no attempt to distort the truth. Terry Meatbrain, on the other hand, loves to cherry pick and tell outright lies. He has “quoted” me as saying something when the words he accuses me of are not even in my post. But there is no lie that Terry Meatbrain will not tell. Case in point. His latest post is entitled:
Bush tells troops to go stuff it
The president never said those words.
There is no lie that Meatbrain will not tell
There is no lie that Meatbrain will not tell
There is no lie that Meatbrain will not tell
This is the same thing that Terry accused Jim Hoft of here
So Terry Meatbrain, I have a few questions:
Where exactly did the President use the words Stuff it?
When did George Bush tell the troops to stuff it using those words?
I will sit back and wait for your response liar. And when you figure there is no response because you lied, I demand that you apologize to the president.
Folks, don’t hold your breath waiting for this cretin to admit he lied or to apologize. Terry Meat brain will more than likely attack me and say I am a coward and a liar because that is what he does. This is the problem with socialist moonbats. They distort the truth and they outright lie and then they make excuses or lie about lying.
OK lying moonbat, it is your turn to explain your deceitful ways. Have at it, coward.
Author note: This post is a parody of how Meat Brain writes and attacks others (and resembles the linked post for that reason). It is designed to show that he is guilty of exactly what he accuses others. In reality, I know what he meant by the post but I am holding him to the same standard to which he holds others.
So answer up Terry…
Update: Terry is already telling people they are idiots because they asked him to show where the president said Stuff It.
Can Islam Take Over?
Jan 2, 2008 General
In Pat Buchanan’s latest book, “Day of Reckoning” he makes the argument that Islam poses little threat to the US because they share the same religious ideology but are very diverse otherwise. He also indicates that we could be attacked, as we were on 9/11, but that we could weather those attacks and that Islam, or Muslim nations, could not come into the US and take over. He likens the potential attacks to our dropping nuclear bombs on Japan. They are smaller and yet they were able to recover and become a productive nation. Of course, this idea is only tolerable if you or your family are not caught up in the attack. I imagine that while Japan recovered many family lines were eliminated and no amount of recovery will ever change that (not that I have a problem with what we did back then).
I agree that the nations that are Islamic could not waltz into the US and fight us. We would slaughter them as millions of gun owners took liberties with the enemy’s lives. However, Buchanan seems to base his conclusion on them coming here as aggressors and taking us by force. In reality, they could take over much the same way the Mexicans are retaking the south. They can continue to arrive here and then when they are sufficient in number (their birth rates are way up and ours is barely sufficient to sustain our population) they can exert political pressure in order to achieve their goal of imposing Sharia Law on the world.
Interestingly, Buchanan, in his book “State of Emergency”, discussed the take over of America by our neighbors to the south and he discussed at length how they could eventually retake the south unless we did something to stop the flow. However, he seems to ignore that this very thing could happen with the Muslim population as well. They are well rooted and have their advocacy arm in CAIR, a group that is hell bent on making the mere thought of something bad toward Islam a criminal offense.
Buchanan addressed the heavy Muslim population in Europe and discussed how they are taking over and yet he seems to think this is not something that can happen here. One can argue whether it was wise to go to war over there but the fact remains that they can, and will if we let them, take over this country. It is one thing to say that they cannot beat us in a fight but it is another to ignore the plight of Europe and say it could not happen here. One only needs to listen to the Imams, Clerics and other leaders to realize that world domination is their goal.
Cleric Irshad added: “I’m ready to become a suicide bomber and lay down my life for Islam. My friends are already doing this to the invading British forces in Afghanistan.
“Democracy is wrong. I hope Britain and the rest of the world will have sharia law this century. We will continue to sacrifice our lives to achieve this.†The Sun UK
These are not isolated words. One hears them again and again coming from Mosques all around the world. Some of those very Mosques are right here in America. When one has an enemy it is wise to listen to what the enemy says it wants to do. Failure to pay attention or absolute ignorance leads to complacency and eventually to defeat.
One other thing that is important to remember; our enemies have help from inside the US. The Democrats are invested in our defeat and liberal activist courts continue to make rulings that cause more and more Americans to fear saying anything about suspicious activities that involve Muslims. We continue to placate them so as not to offend them at the expense of the non Muslim people in this country. The Democratic Party is full of socialists and they were full of Communists over 50 years ago. It was, after all, that party that allowed the Communists to get into our government. It is not a stretch to say that the very same party would allow Islam a foot in the door and would help them all in the name of diversity and understanding.
I respect Pat Buchanan and I think he is a great writer with very good insight. However, he misses the boat on this issue and that is dangerous. We should be ever vigilant and work hard to protect this country from those who would hurt us including the enemy within.
