Just your average peacenik!

Meet a Harry Reid supporter! He's just your average Islamic good guy! In this case, the dichotomy of carrying grenade launchers and automatic weapons at a rally against violence is lost on these brain washed infidel haters. I suspect Harry Reid thinks we just need to sit down with this fellow and be diplomatic for this guy to see the light.

I had to laugh this week at how Harry Reid is like Teflon with the press. His various on camera appearances post his "we lost" in Iraq statement are a joke. He never says anything substantive...in fact he has now adopted a version of the "fake but true" stance many took with the faked Bush National Guard documents. Harry says even if he's told by General Petraeus that things were improving he wouldn't believe it...so "true but fake". Any conservative who would provide so many idiotic displays of logic, lack of facts and school yard name calling would be SKEWERED by the media.

And God forbid the press ask Harry, and Nancy, and all the gang if Al-Qaida is in fact operating in Iraq, and effectively, wouldn't allowing them free rein there ultimately mean they get stronger and more dangerous world wide?
But they're smart...if you don't even go to briefings you can later claim ignorance if it bites you in the end.

From Tiny's Cold Dead Hands

I'll protect my right to bear arms to my death. The drumbeat has started and anyone could have predicted it...the 2nd Amendment is under fire. The old cliches are however true, its the person and not the gun...but these are lost on the kumbaya crowd. They think if you put the anti-jump barrier on the bridge the suicidal person won't actually attempt suicide...they think if we have far greater gun control, or ban gun ownership altogether, crime with guns will go down. They think bad guys and those wishing to die couldn't think of ANY other way to do their deed. It's simply the guns! In fact such measures just create more helpless citizens and victims.

The logic is flawed. First you cannot compare any other country to ours. America is completely unique in this regard and has been the worlds most free and prosperous country based on the founding principles and in part on the 2nd amendment. The original intent of the 2nd amendment might seem archaic to some, not me. Today's most powerful people on the left are borderline socialists and while most liberals think they are the party of freedoms, they are in fact the party that thinks you don't know how to handle your freedom so they need to take it back. I've heard there are from 200M to 1B guns, legal and otherwise, in circulation in the U.S. Even if you ban ownership and expect people to turn them in, what F'ing crackpot thinks 100% of law abiding citizens will turn all of theirs in. Or thinks even a single bad guy will turn theirs in?

My most recent gun was a H&K 45ACP...shot thousands of rounds at the range. The range I used was frequented by various local police officers...several told me that a burglar's biggest fear was entering a home when someone was home...worse that the someone would own a gun. Well I want bad buys to fear entering my home! I want an out of control or rogue government element to fear entering my home. Bad guys (in groups or not) don't like and fear good guys with guns!!!!! It's also 100% certain that if any of those who was face to face with the Virginia Tech shooter was packing there would be a chance far fewer people would be killed. But, if there isn't any normal law abiding trained folks packing heat.....well then it's 100% certain all those that could die will die.

And then there's the shameless politicking! With lifeless bodies still warm at Virginia Tech it was disgusting to see those trying to take an act of pure evil and use it to draw attention to political issues, including the illogical gun issue. People always want to be able to blame someone, well other than the perpetrator! There must be someone alive we can all direct our anger too...somebody must have screwed up right! And surely even more powerful is a long string of screw ups that really must be the reason that this evil person executed so many with apparently zero emotion. I'm sure there will be all kinds of mental health reforms requested...as if we can predict which person with depression or weird behavior might SNAP. So drug them all I guess? Or maybe lock them all up?

Wanna bet liberals will make moves to curtail individual rights and freedoms with this incident as the catalyst? Well, they already are!

I thought Obama was actually one of the better liberals in the POTUS race...but Obama jumped on the cheese ball bandwagon of politicizing this event...and he does it in rambling and inarticulate form...I couldn't even listen to this entire thing...this guy sucks.

Who doesn't want a colorblind America?

First, lets be clear.. semi-shock jock Imus calling the Rutger's women's BBall team "nappy headed hos" was bad..both because of its racial bigotry but also because he picked on private citizens in a public way. I don't think he should loose his job over it though...of course the chicken-shit advertisers may force that issue as they run away before Jackson or Sharpton show up at their door.
But the real problem here is not Imus. He, apparently, makes stupid and derogatory comments all the time but in an equal opportunity way...so JUST LIKE many black comedians he's not promoted bigotry or stereotypes but using that it exists in his schtick!

The real problem is people like Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton......they run to the nearest camera ONLY when some apparent injustice, or even an insult, is flung in the direction of a black person(s). This rush to condemn the racial bigotry (as they define it) is immediate and without homework (Can you say Duke Lacrosse?) or without looking inward! And there it is....while I've heard Sharpton say just yesterday that he does condemn rap music that uses offensive words and messages I can find no evidence of what should be a wide spread, daily campaign against the hundreds of blacks involved in making and put out that pathetic material.

But I have posted on this many times before..the likes of Jackson and Sharpton DO NOT want you to be colorblind! Their power, their significance in the public eye, goes to zero should America become colorblind. I heard callers who called into talk radio on this topic mention how the bulk of the rap music sales are to young white men...I say so what. The material is the first problem....Whites and blacks involved in the creation, promotion and sale of this material should be targeted with even more aggression than Imus has seen...and especially by the black community. The black community is nearly silent on this....as long as people think it's ok for a black to use words like nigga, ho, bitch, pimp when referring to another person, but not for a white....well then you've got an idiotic double standard that allows the very people who claim to be victimized by this language enabling black-on-black racism and bigotry.

I just heard that Imus is out of a job...dumped by both MSNBC and CBS radio....those blacks who promote the language and culture that got Imus fired do far more damage. I also think Imus asked a good question in wondering if Al Sharpton would apologize to the Duke Lacrosse players who he castigated very publicly....not a chance...because too much of his power base wouldn't like it. Also disturbing is what appears to be an ambulance chasing move by Hillary who rushes to Rutgers to make a speech...pathetic.
Update: So, looks like Jarpton (my new term for Jackson and Sharpton) influenced the CEO of CBS Radio in Imus' firing....Gee, any bets on whether they also asked Les Moonves to also stop playing any music featuring nappy headed, ho, nigga, pimp, etc.? NO CHANCE....and has Jarpton met with the CEOs of the record labels who put out rap and hip-hop demanding the same thing? NO CHANCE
Update: I haven't seen the Rutger's team press conference but have read a few reactions to it and find it interesting these women feel so victimized. Can any of you name a single player? Could you pick them out in a crowd? Do they really think "man...maybe I am a ho?". Interesting comments from women to Paul over at Powerlineblog on this. And I bet that when these players go on Oprah that there will be a lot of focus on how damaging this was to these specific women. As if these words which were flung at their team in name, and not their personal names, is worse than any situation they have yet to encounter in the young lives...give me a break!

Pelosi should be prosecuted! But not if her friends (pictured here) have their way!

It's interesting that at the same time there are new calls for the impeachment of President Bush, on by any reasoned inspection with no damning evidence, we see Nancy Pelosi very well may have committed a felony in visiting Syria. In today's WSJ, Robert Turner makes this very point (subscription only link)...some excerps:

The "Logan Act" makes it a felony and provides for a prison sentence of up to three years for any American, "without authority of the United States," to communicate with a foreign government in an effort to influence that government's behavior on any "disputes or controversies with the United States." Some background on this statute helps to understand why Ms. Pelosi may be in serious trouble.

********
Ms. Pelosi and her Congressional entourage spoke to President Assad on various issues, among other things saying, "We came in friendship, hope, and determined that the road to Damascus is a road to peace." She is certainly not the first member of Congress -- of either party -- to engage in this sort of behavior, but her position as a national leader, the wartime circumstances, the opposition to the trip from the White House, and the character of the regime she has chosen to approach make her behavior particularly inappropriate.

********
Ms. Pelosi's trip was not authorized, and Syria is one of the world's leading sponsors of international terrorism. It has almost certainly been involved in numerous attacks that have claimed the lives of American military personnel from Beirut to Baghdad.

********
The U.S. is in the midst of two wars authorized by Congress. For Ms. Pelosi to flaunt the Constitution in these circumstances is not only shortsighted; it may well be a felony, as the Logan Act has been part of our criminal law for more than two centuries. Perhaps it is time to enforce the law.

As sure as the sun will rise tomorrow the MSM will not create the hell on earth fire storm they would if this was a Republican subverting a Democrat president...ask any of your staunch liberal friends to defend Pelosi's actions and falsely acting on Israel's behalf! Then after they do you can tell them about all the terrorists leaders and Islamic Jihad members that liked Pelosi's shadow government foreign policy friendly talk as well....they're in good company.
Update: Iran's position on Pelosi might be proof of violating the Logan Act! Check it out on Littlegreenfootballs.

Pelosi talks, middle east problem solved!

Pelosi is in the middle east.....using the liberal approach, we have been hearing about for 6-ish years, of dealing with terrorist supporting nation states...the approach? Simple, you talk to one side, then go to the other side and make up stuff about how the other side wants to make nice!

After visiting Israel and meeting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Pelosi then, I'm sure, using carbon friendly means made her way to Syria to meet President Bashar Assad. Syria is a supporter of Hamas and Islamic Jihad organizations which includes providing weapons to insurgents and terrorists in Iraq...and thus killing Americans! Thus, President Bush, the State Department, the U.S. Government, and even Olmert told Pelosi not to visit Syria...oh don't worry boys...I'm a women, I'm Nancy Pelosi and all these bad boys need is some talking to!

After the ill advised meeting Pelosi said she brought a message to Assad from Olmert saying that Israel was ready for peace talks. NOT TRUE....Olmert says differently! Where is the MSM on this?

From the Prime Minister Olmert's office:

She (Pelosi) said the meeting with the Syrian leader "enabled us to communicate a message from Prime Minister Olmert that Israel was ready to engage in peace talks as well."

According to officials in the Prime Minister's Office, however, this was not what transpired during her meeting with Olmert.

The officials said Olmert had told Pelosi that he thought her trip to Damascus was a mistake, and that when she asked - nevertheless - whether he had a message for Assad, Olmert said Syria should first stop supporting terrorism and "act like a normal country," and only then would Israel be willing to hold discussions.
UPDATE: Ok, the Washington Post has recognized this buffoonery! I wish it was better than Page A16, but at least someone is noticing....this is a very strong rebuke of Pelosi's foolishness on this trip...can you imagine the fire storm if a Republican Senator was doing things that, as Pelosi is doing, are tantamount to trying to setup and run a shadow government? As the WaPo says:
Two weeks ago Ms. Pelosi rammed legislation through the House of Representatives that would strip Mr. Bush of his authority as commander in chief to manage troop movements in Iraq. Now she is attempting to introduce a new Middle East policy that directly conflicts with that of the president. We have found much to criticize in Mr. Bush's military strategy and regional diplomacy. But Ms. Pelosi's attempt to establish a shadow presidency is not only counterproductive, it is foolish.

UK's The Independent supports terror & Iran


When I saw the above headline on the Drudge Report I thought oh great...what mission went wrong now! But even before reading the story behind the link on the UK based The Independent I thought about the video of the British soldiers....the way those soldiers are acting like puppets they would have spilled the beans on camera about a botched mission.

So I read the story and first thing I note is somehow they want to link a Jan 11. mission to the capture of the British soldiers....no connection, no fact based connection provided!

Then I visited HotAir as I do every morning and Allahpundit does a great job of breaking down the fake story, read it all but in summary:

Pretend to break news that’s already been reported, assert a causal connection to another event without a single source to support it, then publish as fact. Good, hard-nosed, hard-left agenda journalganda.

This is plain and simple made up anti-US propaganda...the press hides behind anonymous sources and implications like there's no tomorrow....but what's really behind this? Do those who put out such things not know the Islamic extremists they embolden would gladly snatch their sycophant asses in a heartbeat and cut their heads off on video? Ah, but maybe they do...but they see George Bush and the U.S. as even more evil!
