Civilian Casualties

(Image courtesy Cox & Forkum) The American Thinker reminds us to get the whole story before blatantly condemning Israel for the Lebanese civilian casualties. The blame for these deaths falls completely on those who are encouraging, or forcing civilians to remain in areas being used as military staging areas. The idea that killing innocents – …

Religious War

Clear, concise, well referenced, and eye opening. If you can’t comprehend why this is, and has been a religious war (not to mention World War III, or IV depending on how you count), try this article on for size. The American Thinker: We are already in a Religious War Given the enthusiasm the Muslim culture …

Signs

Cox & Forkum has a host of links you should be familiar with. That American citizens would openly support these people is dispicable. Charles Johnson is doing a excellent job of rounding up photos and reports of anti-Israel demonstrations around the world. The fact that a pro-Hezbollah sentiment has been repeatedly witnessed is disgusting, especially …

ACLU and Fred Phelps. A special reservation in hell.

It’s late, I’m headed to bed, but thought I’d drop this here for you to consider before I go. ACLU Sues for Anti-Gay Group That Pickets at Troops’ Burials KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A Kansas church group that protests at military funerals nationwide filed suit in federal court, saying a Missouri law banning such picketing …

In the real world, we’d call this horseplay

An interesting thing about the whole “back massage” controversy became obvious when I finally stopped seeing the still images and caught the 5-second video clip. My clarifying point? Still images can be interpreted in ways completely contrary to the actual events. Click the video link, and watch the “event” as it unfolded.

Send in the UN?

It’s a common theme. The UN must end the hostilities. UN Peacekeeping forces needed to end fighting. Send in the ‘peacekeepers’! But most seem to forget that there are already UN peacekeepers in the area. Unfortunately, they’re led by an ever-so-effective Frenchman – and make a habit of providing aid to terrorists. In June 1982, …

There are no stupid questions!

Just disgustingly stupid people to whom the questions are directed. I have a much more interesting article in mind regarding the calls for UN troops to “fix” things in S. Lebanon and UNIFIL which hasn’t “fixed” a thing in nearly 20 years… but I accidently caught an MSNBC talking head asking Al Sharpton (sorry, the …

How do you smear a President?

Simple, make up a few “experts” out of thin air, attribute all sorts of slanderous quotes to them, and let the press and blog corps do the rest. 1984 is here and gone… but George Orwell’s vision is not (just) the tool of the government. It’s downright frightening to see the broad-range of attacks and …

Kofi, anyone?

If a picture is in fact “worth a thousand words”, which thousand words support this picture of Kofi Annan’s handshake with the leader of Hezbollah in Lebabon? These? (taken from UN Secretary General Kofi Annan’s address to the UN Security Council, 20 July 2006) I have already condemned Hezbollah’s attacks on Israel, and acknowledged Israel’s …

Not with my tax dollars, please

There’s been a lot of discussion at work about the US citizens in Lebanon getting evacuated by the embassy. Most of it starts with “what the f*ck are they doing there to begin with? There are a few good answers; embassy personnel, relief workers, people visiting family… but not all the answers seem sensible. Students? …

An Ode to Jack Murtha

The American Thinker: Semper I I hope I don’t offend The American Thinker or Mr. Russ Vaughn in quoting this here, but a smaller segment would not do it justice. Semper I (a poem) A bugle blows in Arlington, Lilting notes fill still sad air, An eagle’s tears a globe fall on, Trail an anchor …
