John Edwards Might Need a Surgeon
Feb 21, 2007 Uncategorized
Looks like John Edwards might need a surgeon to remove his foot from his mouth. That is where he firmly placed it when he indicated that the greatest short term threat to peace was Israel should that country decide to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities.
There are other emerging fissures, as well. The aggressively photogenic John Edwards was cruising along, detailing his litany of liberal causes last week until, during question time, he invoked the “I” word — Israel. Perhaps the greatest short-term threat to world peace, Edwards remarked, was the possibility that Israel would bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities. As a chill descended on the gathering, the Edwards event was brought to a polite close. [my emphasis] Variety
NRO’s Jim Geraghty asked the same thing I was thinking; “Really? Israel is the biggest threat? Not Ahmedinijad? Not al-Qaeda? Not a coup attempt in Pakistan? Not a complete breakdown in Iraq drawing in the Saudis, Turks, and Iranians?”
Israel is a tiny little country backed up to a body of water and surrounded by enemies on all adjoining land. The President of Iran has stated that Israel should be wiped off the map and the rest of the Muzzie world is hell bent on destroying Israel. They love killing Jews and they love launching rockets into that little country every damned day.The idea that Iran could have a nuclear weapon and launch it at Israel is frightening and yet very real. Iran has made it their mission to destroy Israel and the Breck girl says that Israel bombing Iran’s nuclear facilities is the greatest short term threat??
This man is very liberal and very out of touch. He has this two Americas idea and wants everyone to think he is one of the guys but he lives in that special America, the other side that he depicts as wrong for existing while others live in poverty. He bought a house large enough to put a small village in (the largest in his county) and he is worth millions. He thinks Israel is the greatest threat to short term peace and he is willing to cut and run from our enemies.
Cross this idiot off the list. He will not survive the primaries (though I would not mind seeing him beat Hillary).

Legal Aliens are not Citizens
Feb 21, 2007 Uncategorized
A group of aliens who are here legally are trying to get the right to vote in New York. Activists are pushing hard to give non citizens the right to vote claiming that the poor aliens are disenfranchised. They are not disenfranchised because they are not legally allowed to vote so a right is not being denied.
“More than 50,000 adult noncitizen taxpayers in those two districts are disenfranchised by citizenship voting laws,” said Cheryl Wertz, of New Immigrant Community Empowerment, referring to today’s special election for council seats in Brooklyn and Staten Island. NYP
Let me try to clear this up for these ingrates. You pay taxes here because you have a job here. Paying taxes does not give you the right to vote being a citizen does. You are paying taxes because we were nice enough to let you come here and earn a living. If you would like, you are free to leave here and go back to whatever third world crap hole you came from and earn 50 cents a day selling your sister in peep shows.
The US Constitution discusses voting in several places and each of the places starts with the words “The right of citizens of the United States…” Understand? Citizens have the right to vote and non citizens do not. It is really quite simple and if you were not so busy trying to get something to which you are not entitled then you might have a bit more time to study for a citizenship test so you can become a citizen.
I really am tired of groups of people who are not citizens of this country telling us what they want and making demands. I am tired of ILLEGALS sneaking across the border and then demanding health care, schooling and a million other things that taxpayers foot the bill for. I am now tired of people who are here legally making demands. Just who the hell do these people think they are? They are not entitled to vote in this country and we should not let them. Any politician who passes a law allowing non citizen aliens to vote should be fed through a meat grinder feet first and fed to pigs.
Here is an idea for the aliens. The Big Dog says you have three choices. You can stop making demands and give up your silly idea about voting here, you can become a citizen and earn the right to vote, or you can go the hell home and vote in your own country. Either way I don’t give a damn what you think you are entitled to, Are we clear? I said are we clear? Just thought I would throw a little Jack Nicholson in there…

It Is Time to Redeploy
Feb 20, 2007 Uncategorized
I have put it off for as long as I can and I have given it every chance to be successful. I have believed the government when it told me that things would be better, that more money would help, and that people’s lives would be better. There are near daily killings and the demolished surroundings will likely never be repaired. The police are not helping and the bad guys seem to be running the place. It is terrible to learn that mothers are sending their children to kill. I am afraid that I must concede that I was wrong and we need to redeploy, we need to pull out, we need to end it all.
That is, we need to pull out of New Orleans. Sectarian violence (one group of criminals killing another group of criminals) has gotten so bad down there that they are on a pace to have 235 murders this year in a city that has less than half the population it had before the hurricane. With 200,000 people back in the city the murder rate will be 117.5 per 100k, if the present rate continues. We need to pull all the federal money out of there, Congress needs to cut off any additional money, we need to bring home any of our forces (Red Cross, Guardsmen from other states, FEMA officials, federal workers, etc.), and we need to do it quickly. The American public does not like the idea of its citizens being murdered while trying to help a group of people who do not appreciate the effort. The people of New Orleans are going to have to do this on their own.
Where are Clinton, Murtha, Obama, Edwards, Kerry, Kennedy, Reid, and Pelosi on this one? They are right here watching this unfold before their eyes and yet they have refused to act. They are placing our people in harm’s way and they will not do anything about it. I know they have that silly argument that if we do not stay there the criminals will branch out and possibly go to other states. This is ridiculous and it needs to end now. The violence has to stop. The voters made that clear during the last election and the Democrats need to do something.
Here is another interesting item. There are people in New Orleans who admit that this is a social problem but they fail to see the real problem and the real solution. They believe the problem is in the educational system and will require more government. I believe this passage tells us all we need to know:
The larger problem is that New Orleans has too many social problems – drugs, poverty, broken families, poor education – all present before Katrina.
A recent murder encapsulated the difficulties. After a 17-year-old was beaten up, his mother gave him a gun and told him to get revenge, and he killed the boy he fought with.
When police went to his home to investigate, they found the mother with cocaine and a family photo on display of the son with a gun in one hand and a fistful of cash in the other.
“For us to correct this, we have to look at the root of the problem. The root of the problem is our education system,” Police Superintendent Warren Riley said in an interview.
It is not difficult to see that the real problem is the family. Social ills have caused problems but the whole issue boils down to the family. Single parent families, unwed mothers, drugs, lack of love and parents who are criminals are major problems. The event depicted in the passage above had nothing to do with education. A drug addicted parent gave a kid a gun to get revenge. This is a failure of the family and it is likely due to the fact that government has been mommy and daddy for way too long.
Wake up America and demand that we pull out of New Orleans NOW. It is a dangerous place and we should not be there. Demand that your politicians cut off the money going there and to immediately redeploy our workers before more people end up dead.

Abortion; Its Just a Product of Deception
Feb 20, 2007 Uncategorized
Those who justify the murder of unborn children have a number of things they refer to the unborn child as so as to dehumanize the murder. Fetus (which is technically correct), product of conception, and glob of cells are just some of the things words people use to justify the barbaric act of abortion. Unless, of course, a pregnant woman is murdered. Then she and her unborn child were victims of the murder. I guess under the woman’s right to choose, if she chooses to abort it is a product of conception and if she chooses to have it, it is an unborn child. While there are still many people who believe it is OK to abort right up until seconds before birth (partial birth abortion), a lot of abortion advocates think that it is OK if the [fill in euphemism here] can not survive outside the womb. This is ridiculous because the whole process is designed so that the child is dependant on the mother to grow and be born. In any event, there is a child who survived being born earlier than any other.
A premature baby that doctors say spent less time in the womb than any other surviving infant is to be released from a Florida hospital Tuesday.
Amillia Sonja Taylor was just 9 1/2 inches long and weighed less than 10 ounces when she was born Oct. 24. She was delivered 21 weeks and six days after conception. Full-term births come after 37 to 40 weeks.“We weren’t too optimistic,” Dr. William Smalling said Monday. “But she proved us all wrong.”
Neonatologists who cared for Amillia say she is the first baby known to survive after a gestation period of fewer than 23 weeks. A database run by the University of Iowa’s Department of Pediatrics lists seven babies born at 23 weeks between 1994 and 2003.
Amillia has experienced respiratory problems, a very mild brain hemorrhage and some digestive problems, but none of the health concerns are expected to pose long-term problems, her doctors said. Breitbart
This little girl seems to be more than a product of conception or a glob of cells and she sure looks very much like a human being. Maybe her birth will shed light on those who think it is OK to murder the unborn.

Hillary Says to Unite Under One Flag
Feb 19, 2007 Political
Hillary Clinton was in South Carolina campaigning for president (instead of earning her money as a Senator) and she had some thoughts about the Confederate Flag. Clinton said the Confederate Flag should come down. She said we are a nation at war and we should all be under one flag. Since Hillary Clinton is calling for us to start bringing our troops home and has stated that she will introduce legislation to restrict the President’s ability to run the war it is easy to see that the only flag she stands under is white.
Personally, I have no problem with the Confederate Flag. The Confederate Flag was the flag of the states that seceded from the Union (The Confederate States of America). The Flag represents the people of the south and what they fought for. The NAACP is boycotting South Carolina because that flag offends them. It offends because they are ignorant and believe the flag is a symbol of racism. The Civil War was not about slavery it was about state’s rights. Slavery was one of the issues but the NAACP and other race baiters make it the issue as if the North started fighting with the South over slavery.
The South was hamstrung by the North and was disillusioned by many of the rules the Government imposed. The southern states seceded (in a domino effect) and the Civil War ensued because the President did not want the nation to divide into separate countries. Lincoln was satisfied with slave states, some that were slave and some free or all free so long as the country remained whole. Some of the states in the north were slave states but I have heard no call to ban the flag of the United States.
Hillary is pandering to the black crowd that her husband so easily wooed. But the truth of the matter is no one cares what she thinks because this is not a federal issue, she was not elected to represent South Carolina, and even if she is elected president she can not do anything about the flag. The whole damned war was about state’s rights and it seems to me that after 600,000 deaths politicians would have learned to leave states alone. SC has every right to fly the flag and they should tell Clinton to shut her yap. For an educated woman she sure is stupid. The Confederate Flag is a symbol of a proud people who fought for what they believed. It would be wrong to remove that heritage for any reason but to do so because a bunch of ignorant people do not understand history or because it offends someone are the worst reasons of all. I am offended by jackasses who burn American Flags but the law allows that and that is a hate crime pure and simple. There is no free speech issue because it is a violent act designed to harass people and show disrespect for this great country. As an aside, an American was arrested last year for burning a Mexican Flag. I guess that whole free speech argument only works in favor of moonbats.
Back on target. Hillary is an idiot and her opinion about the Confederate Flag is a moot one. No one cares what this northern, elitist has to say. She only passed through Arkansas. She is from Illinois and lives in Yankee land New York so she should just keep her mouth shut. However, now that I think of it, the UN Flag flies in New York and if there is one flag that should come down it is that one. The UN Flag represents rape, pillage, corruption, slavery, and forced prostitution and only reminds people of their inept corruption and criminal activity. Down with the UN Flag Hillary and leave the South alone, beyatch.
“I think about how many South Carolinians have served in our military and who are serving today under our flag and I believe that we should have one flag that we all pay honor to…Breitbart
Like I said, their [Democrats] flag is white and that is the one flag they all serve under. Instead of putting their hands over their hearts they raise both of them in a position of surrender. No doubt, John Kerry wants us to buy those flags from the French who always seem to have them in abundance.
Hillary, the Confederate Flag is offensive to you and the rest of the idiots who do not understand the history of this country (which is why we are doomed to repeat its failures) but the real question is, if the Confederate Flag should come down, does that mean we have to take them from these places as well?
Those folks died for that flag and agree with them or not, they were willing to die for what they believed in. Unfortunately, we don’t really know what Hillary believes in except power for herself. Many others in this country would just as soon sell out and live under somebody else’s flag rather than fight for the one we have. The sad part is they are willing to fly the white one to get there.
ADDENDUM: This from Wikipedia:
On April 12, 2000, the South Carolina state senate passed a bill to remove the flag of the former Confederate States of America from on top of the statehouse dome by a majority vote of 36 to 7. Placed there in 1962, according to one local news report, “the new bill specified that a more traditional version of the battle flag would be flown in front of the Capitol next to a monument honoring fallen Confederate soldiers.” [emphasis mine] Wikipedia
No wonder Hillary wants it removed, it honors soldiers….
