Sorry, Ollie -We Have Already Lost Afghanistan

Today, on his nationally syndicated daily radio show Dennis Miller had on Lt. Col. Oliver North, (I thought) USMC Ret.

Once again he lines up with the "we have to win Afghanistan" crowd.

Too bad he and the rest of that bunch are late. That train already pulled out of the station. And, if recent news is any indication, it was an 0bama approved, Biden endorsed Bullet-Train.

Said Musa is currently in jail, undergoing brutal treatment pending his eventual execution for the horrible crime of professing his Christian Faith ! In Afghanistan - yeah that Afghanistan.

Where we are sending men and women into harm's way under the guise of making them safe for democracy–this is the democracy they want. This, therefore is the government we are spending our blood and treasure to build. One that will kill you for the crime of being Christian !

We have already lost Afghanistan

Stop Helping Liars Get A Definition Of Lying That Helps No-One

1) One knows of a treachery occurring in a neighbor's home. That treachery is the abuse and sexual slavery of minor girls. Would the action of one to stop the treachery be a sin ?

2) One knows of a treachery occurring in a neighbor's home. That treachery is the abuse and sexual slavery of minor girls. Would the action of one to uncover that treachery in a way that valid authorities may use to stop that treachery be a sin ?

Since no one presumes that the villain will act in a manner accorded gentlemen; no one ought to be expected to accord them the courtesy of gentlemen. The use of subterfuge to extract the plain truth from a villain is often necessary.

To lie is to speak or act against the truth in order to lead someone into error.

Error is the state of being wrong in conduct or judgment.

To lead someone into error is to lead them away from God.

To use subterfuge to extract truth that will open the eyes of those that know truth, and in like manner help those heretofore involved in villainy, is an act of charity and leads to truth. Leading to truth is leading away from error.

Were one to say that a child was a victim of rape when the truth was that the child was owned as a sex slave, that is a lie. It is told to lead the hearer in error. Told in order to keep the sin of the teller from view of the hearer. Told in order to get benefit for the child's abuser.

Speaking to an abettor of child abuse in a manner that draws them into your confidence in order to greater expose their crimes is not lying.




Dr. Gerard Nadal articulates what I was trying to say.

Racism ?

The candidacy and eventual election of Barack 0bama caused a great deal of talk, or better put, accusations of racism. Initially it was the claim that any disagreement with Mr. 0bama on any position was because he was black. Truth be told, that was the claim throughout his candidacy and remains the pre-eminent claim to date.

Never mind that some who have disagreements with President 0bama's policies are black. Never mind that some who have disagreements with President 0bama's policies are more black than 0bama is. Never mind that 0bama is only half black, as it were, on his father's side.

The claim and charges of racism were then and are now still only intended to stifle debate. To ensure that the opposition not get a chance to enter into a public debate. It is merely a way to squelch speech that does not meet the requirements of the State sponsoring media.

However, there seems to be an unintended consequence to this being used as the method of suppressing speech. I hesitate to make it appear as something unheard of, but, I must say that it does seem to be more visible now.

In the past America was able to see and hear, for at least a little while, a very patriotic, strong minded black man speak not only well of his country but of her future. Until the media pushed the meme of his being crazy. So strongly did the media push this, that the so called conservative radio hosts dared not mention Alan Keyes name lest they feel the ridicule upon themselves.

But, now, today, I can name more such patriotic, strong minded men that look like Dr. Keyes being in the public arena than I can ever recall.

The possibility of Herman Cain throwing his hat into the political ring in pursuit of the Presidency is no less than thrilling.

The people of his district, and others who know of Lt. Col. Allan West from AtlasShrugs, and elsewhere, know that he, too, is a great American.

Every reader of WorldNetDaily and the listeners of Rush Limbaugh's EIB network know the brilliance of Walter Williams.

If you are a listener of Dennis Miller's radio show or have ever looked at Townhall you are well aware of the amazing Thomas Sowell.

Each and every one of them are without doubt head and shoulders above the current possible crop of likely candidates for higher office in 2012. Each and every one of them is also darker of skin tone than 0bama.

If a disdain for the progressive/liberal/socialistic policies of 0bama is racism, then agreeing with the conservative/Constitutional/capitalistic policies espoused by any of these five good men must also be racism.

Yet, I find no reason not to vote for any one of them.

Not That There Is Any Real Surprise

But if there was a lack of evidence that we as a nation are in dire straits, one look at this will be enough.

Over 50 % of voters that call themselves Republicans consider Health Care, The Financial System(whatever that means) and Energy as important issues in the upcoming Congressional election. We all expect, and receive, that type of un-Constitutional feeling from Democrats. Now it is plain to see that Republicans feel that way too, and are also unworthy of the franchise.

More than one radio talker makes a good living spouting the thoughtless statement "it is time to take back the Republican Party". Take it back from whom, exactly ? This is not just a bunch of corrupt men at the top. Nor is it a bunch of good minded men that were corrupted by the system. This is the Republican Party. If you dream of, wish for and want an America that you claim to want; one with the ideals of the founders and the vigor of those that built her to greatness, then speak the truth to all. The Republican Party and the Democrat Party are one and the same.

They may differ on how fast we achieve Socialism, but they are both taking us there.

Silly Ballplayer - Only Congresscritters Are Allowed To Lie

With a much needed distraction before the elections, our congressmen want to appear as though they are "Law and Order, every time". Nothing shows that they mean business quite like going after someone they believe lied to them.

Good thing for Mr. Clemons that the case has been assigned to a fair-minded judge:

"The case was assigned to U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton, the judge who presided over the perjury and obstruction trial of Vice President Dick Cheney’s former chief of staff, I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby."

Scratch that. He's toast.

Looks Like You Can Be Too Quick To Run Anything That Comes From The A.P. Wire

Seen recently at comcast.net was this story from the A.P. about how stupid Americans are:

"Americans increasingly are convinced — incorrectly — that President Barack Obama is a Muslim, and a growing number are thoroughly confused about his religion."

Turns out, it may be that 0bama-sycophants are the stupid ones:

"The American President told me in confidence that he is a Muslim," said Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit on Nile TV."

But it may be just that there were no clues:

"That could explain why Obama has instructed that the term "Islamic extremism" no longer be used in official government documents and statements."

Yeah, that was an easy one to miss.

 

A Disappointing Jury

The Verdicts are in:
The Jury in the Rod/Rob Blagojevich trial has come back.

They have found that they are unable to come to a unanimous decision in 23 counts that apply to either Blago Bro. No surprise there. While other s will find disappointment in this I only can manage a smirk and a shrug.

The real disappointing aspect of this is that those same 12 believe that lying to a Fed is a crime.

Lying to the Federal government ought to be considered standard procedure. A Virtue.

Illinois Sucks !

Jim Edgar: Idiot Savant

Former Governor of Illinois, one of a select few not either serving time or on trial, has grown tired of the Blago trial.

Now that the trial has ended and Blago's fate in the hands of the jury, Edgar just wants to know when it will end.

Jimmy, here's a clue for you: when the jury comes back with a verdict !

This moron had no problem with the State needing more time to file charges. The only reason the State would need more time filing charges against Blago should have been to stop laughing long enough to file the charges.

He had no problem with the State filing charges that were based on an issue that was to be argued in The Supreme Court and could be shown to be legal acts. No, his problem is that the duly selected citizens of the State of Illinois to deliberate the facts of the trial were taking their oath seriously.

Illinois sucks.

Sen. Reid Begins His 2010 Campaign - Today

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has begun his 2010 re-election campaign in earnest.

He has come out with his own energy plan; one that sits in contrast to the dreaded Cap and Tax plan.

No worries. It is all just sleight of hand.

Senators are elected to 6-yr. terms. 'Happy' Harry will have plenty of time to get back on board with Cap and Tax in those 6 years.

But, only if the good people of the great State of Nevada stay home and allow the moron class to send him back to D.C.

Happy Siete De Mayo !

Or as we call it around here*: The Day the rebellious Mexicans had their sombreros handed to them by the French after they got all uppity on the 5th.

Proof that the day ought to have been called drink-o de mayo. Because only a completely drunk people would celebrate a day that they got off one good shot and sleep through the reprisal that came from it.

No wonder the "holiday" was created by the Corona beer people.

That Poor, Poor Guy

Yahoo! start page news has a truly heart-rending story of the unraveling life of a jihadi:

Not long ago, Faisal Shahzad had a pretty enviable life: He became an American citizen after emigrating fromPakistan, where he came from a wealthy family. He earned an MBA. He had a well-educated wife and two kids and owned a house in a middle-class Connecticut suburb.

In the past couple of years, though, his life seemed to unravel: He left a job at a global marketing firm he'd held for three years, lost his home to foreclosure and moved into an apartment in an impoverished neighborhood in Bridgeport. And last weekend, authorities say, he drove an SUV loaded with explosives into Times Square intent on blowing it up.

 It just brings a tear to your eyes.

They just cannot figure out how a guy who had it all could have such bad luck.

It can't be that when he decided to let his hatred consume him that all else was unimportant. He just had a run of bad luck and snapped.

Lone wolf style.

Can We Stop Calling Them RINO's Now ?

When two honest-to-goodness dyed-in-the-wool Republicans that have shown us all they have no trust in real American Conservative Values and have no difficulties with their own brand of un-Constitutional ideas finish first and second respectively in a straw poll of Republicans it is beyond absurd to call ANYONE a RINO.

RINO's are Republicans.

When The Left Speaks Slowly It Is Because They Cannot Think Very Quickly

Too bad for them they cannot think very well either.
By far the greatest outcry against the "evil corporation" following the West Virginia mining disaster has been by Progressive/Socialists.
One brainiac went so far as to say that if there were 15-20 Wall Street brokers dying every year or that same number of political radio commenters were suffering horrible deaths there would certainly be a call to do something. He spoke this nonsense in a slow thoughtful cadence that surely was meant to give the listener a sense of how profound he was.
He forgets, as they all do, that there is a far greater danger involved with going underground than sitting behind a computer screen and/or a microphone.

However, I am completely unable to understand how these very same clowns that are calling for criminal investigations of Massey Energy can stand four-square against parental notification, become indignant when legislators pass laws requiring full disclosure of all medical facts regarding the fetus and cry foul when clear-headed, right-thinking lovers of all human life wish to protect our pre-born brothers and sisters.

Using language condemning Massey Energy specifically, and all large corporations generally, for putting profit ahead of human life these same self-professed nurturers of all things good have no anger towards the profits raised by Planned Parenthood generally, and any abortion mill specifically, directly due to the destruction of human life.

One day Americans will, I pray, wake up to this cognitive dissonance, at best, in the culture and in themselves.

Following A Big Victory They Continue To Defame

As one of the left's remaining broadcasters, Thom Hartmann has decided to outmoron Ed Schultz.

A full eight months after Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) said that "Health" "Care" "Reform" being shoved down the throats of Americans would be 0bama's "Waterloo" and "it will break him", Thom Hartmann reminds us that there is never going to be enough time elapsed for any white Southerner to escape the past and not be considered a racist.

It has been over 145 years since any white man owned any black slave in South Carolina. Seven generations have passed since that sad time. Yet, clearly and obviously to TH when Sen. DeMint used the verb "to break", he was referring to the breaking of the slave, and that was clear to any and every white South Carolinian racist. (but I repeat myself)

Never mind that less than 50 years have passed since the Democrats stood up as the Party of segregation. Some of whom are still in Congress. They are absolved of all charges of racism due to their recent history of subjugating all people of color to special needs status.

Unfortunately TH does not just go after South Carolinians he also insinuates that Republicans are calling for a return of slave-breaking. Yes the Republicans that selected Lincoln as their candidate in 1860, the guy that we are all told "freed the slaves".

After 145 years these evil Republicans want to go back to the days of slavery - not just slavery, but Black slavery. As Senator DeMint plainly stated.

Mr. Hartmann illustrates a pattern on the left of being incapable of arriving at a conclusion that does not already fit your pre-conceived notions of your enemy.

Just A Little Reminder For All Of The Fair-Tax Fans Of The Insanity Of Keeping The I.R.S. Infrastructure For Their Beloved Prebate

When they impose "the one-child policy" all that will be required is the use of the I.R.S.

With the simple ruse of imposing a tax every single one of our "rights" evaporate.

As we approach the 100th Anniversary of the monstrosity of The 16th Amendment's Income Tax, keep in mind that a large portion of the the fanfare surrounding this 0bama "Health" "Care" "Reform" law is how it took nearly 100 years to get it done.

I can hardly wait to see how the Progressives/Socialists celebrate that anniversary.

Funny Thing About Names

Michael Savage has on occasion said that there is a correlation between the spelling and/or sound of your name and the kind of person you are.


Rep. Stupak has achieved his great fame, especially of late, due to his being stupid enough to believe that people have no access to his prior speeches.


What is truly sad is that this was kept so under wraps that he had been awarded a "Defender of Life" by the Susan B. Anthony list. Only his reaction to the awarded being rescinded was sadder as he claimed that "I stood on my principle. I don't need an award." Some principles there Rep. Stupak.

That Thing That Isn't Really Happening, Yeah It's Still Causing Problems

It has become pretty obvious to very nearly everyone with a body temperature above room and with a brain that Global Warming is not really happening. Even if it is now called Climate Change, there is no evidence that we humans are having any effect on the Changes that the Global Climate is going through.

But, no matter. Climate Change is harming the widdle birdies.

Clearly it is all the fault of us uncaring, evil heat-mongers.

There Is Absolutely Nothing That Could Go Wrong With This Plan

Some bright light in The United States Senate has that whole immigrant worker taking a job from an American thing all worked out.

Just because companies have been fooled by forged or stolen Social Security numbers is no reason to think that going even further into the depths of government invasion of privacy will not fix everything.

This Is What Passes For Science These Days

The folks over at space.com have a short article on the effects of earthquakes on the balance of earth mass.

Sounds like a good read for a lazy day, yes ?

Until you read it and realize that this is the kind of stuff that AGW types write:

One Earth day is about 24 hours long. Over the course of a year, the length of day normally changes gradually by one millisecond. It increases in the winter, when the Earth rotates more slowly, and decreases in the summer, Gross has said in the past.

Whose winter/summer has such a profound effect on the length of day ? Northern Hemisphere or Southern Hemisphere ?
There is actually a link in that "length of day" stuff that has an even smarter article on how the day is getting longer because humans are polluting the planet.


Another bright spot in the article that defies mathematics, and probably physics, is:

The 9.1 Sumatran earthquake in 2004, which set off a deadly tsunami, should have shortened Earth's days by 6.8 microseconds and shifted its axis by about 2.76 inches (7 cm, or 2.32 milliarcseconds).

8.8 earthquake that struck Chile....1.26 milliseconds.....also found that it should have moved Earth's figure axis by about 3 inches (8 cm or 27 milliarcseconds).

That's right. Moving the Earth's figure axis, it's mass balance, by 12.5% more caused a move of 18,529.4% more.

Amazing!
