Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West

This film seems to be gaining ground. There's a new post today on Michelle Malkin's Hot Air about this film. It was apparently uploaded in its entirety to YouTube, then removed. At one point, it was on Google Video. The producers are attempting to regain some of their investment by preventing online piracy and selling the video at their website.

There's a 12-minute abridged version on Google Video now.

We commented on it several weeks ago, after hearing about it on Glenn Beck. Still waiting on my DVD to arrive. I'll have a review of it here after I receive it, plus I'll be trying to set up screenings of this movie in central Ohio.

Why I Love the Comics

I remember in Journalism school many moons ago, a perfesser telling us that statistics show that people who are more educated and more intelligent tend to read the comics, the sports page and the op-ed page religiously. Gee, I guess that means all that money on college wasn't wasted.

Today's (Sunday 10/29/06) Sunday comics have been infiltrated by political commentary. Not the usual lefty loonies like Trudeau's Doonesbury or the Berkley Breathed strip Opus, but strips like Hi & Lois and Foxtrot.

Hi and Lois is like the 'Father Knows Best' of comics. It's been around forever, has quaint little funny family tales, but occasionally has something that causes you to think. Today's Hi & Lois comic has the twins fighting over halloween costumes, until the mother tells them to pick "polar opposites." The kids comply: in the final panel they appear as democrats and republicans. What's interesting is the republican is dressed as a businessman, the democrat as a 60's hippie. How perceptive!

Today's Foxtrot comic, by Bill Amend, speaks to the scariness of electronic voting machines, but more importantly: how most people don't care about this 'politics' stuff.



Right on target.

What's so wrong with showing Patriotism in the Media?

I wasn't around during World War II. I wasn't even a gleam in my daddy's eye then. I don't know firsthand what it was like to live in America during that war. But it certainly appears that things have changed in America since then, especially with the mainstream media.

I have been frustrated by news outlets like CNN airing terrorist propaganda recently -- the sniper attacks on American soldiers in Iraq. I've been frustrated by the one-sided reporting of the efforts of the war -- the body counts, ABC's Nightline airing lists of dead soldiers. And the list goes on and on.

In this recent confrontation (H/T to Michelle Malkin's Hot Air) on Wolf Blitzer's CNN show, Lynne Cheney asks Blitzer "Do you want to win this war? Why are you showing this terrorist propaganda?" Blitzer's party line response: "We're just reporting the news. We're not partisan, we're just reporting the news."

The mainstream media have this 'purist' attitude, that they have to report the "unvarnished truth" -- or says CNN in their response to questions on why they are airing these videos.

There is no such thing as a single truth. There are many sides in this conflict, as there was in World War II. But the media chose then to report only the side that would help our cause, boost American public and troop morale, make us feel proud and strong, get everyone behind the effort to win what was arguably a war to preserve our civilization.

Would it be so wrong for the media to show American bias? Would it be so wrong to show the good guys winning the war? Would it be so wrong to show the good guys blowing up terrorists? Would it be so wrong to show Iraqi students back in schools built by American hands and dollars?

I can find that on the internet, but not on CNN, not on MSNBC, not on Katie Couric's bottom-feeding CBS Evening News.

Pundits on the left call the war in Iraq a 'quagmire.' They compare it to Vietnam, a long, bloody war, also not supported in the popular media.

I say: media, democrats, ACLU... look in the mirror if you think Iraq is a quagmire. You're the cause of the war stalling, the war not being won outright. Every time you report a story graphically showing American soldiers being killed; every time you show terrorist fighters succeeding against American soldiers; every time you leak stories of American strategy, or American secrets, or American soldiers harrasing islamic terrorist prisoners...

You stab America in the heart.

It seems to me that Americans would have cried 'Treason' during earlier wars if politicians or the media had made the same choices they're making today. I'm American, and I'm shouting "TREASON".

Associated (with terrorism) Press: Fair and Balanced 'Style'

My ears perked up during a recent broadcast on the WSYX-6 TV news - Mark Hyman's The Point was discussing the AP Stylebook:

AP Stylebook
Words are powerful. Specific words can lend meaning -- accurately or inaccurately -- to a subject.

The Associated Press Stylebook is a popular guidebook for journalists recommending everything from word usage to punctuation.

News reporting is supposed to be unbiased. The AP Stylebook supposedly recommends words and styles that maintain neutrality in reporting subject matter. It is that last point that draws attention to the AP Stylebook regarding how to address the abortion issue. There are so many terms in use: pro-life, pro-choice, pro-abortion, anti-abortion, and the list goes on.

The AP Stylebook states journalists should "Use 'anti-abortion' instead of 'pro-life' and 'abortion rights' instead of 'pro-abortion' or 'pro-choice'." Generally, if something is "anti-" it is viewed as a negative. Using the term "abortion rights" implies the "rights" are valid. Pro-life supporters would disagree with that premise.

The AP is wrong in its recommendations. The terms "pro-choice" and "pro-life" pretty much give equal standing to both sides of the debate. Can you imagine the howls of protest if the AP suggested "pro-life" and "anti-life"? And if the AP suggests "anti-abortion" is correct it would then have to pick "pro-abortion" for the other side of the debate. But it doesn't. That's because the AP has chosen sides in the abortion debate.

I paid attention to this editorial because I work in the printing & publishing biz -- I've been using the AP Stylebook since I was in journalism school way back in the 1970's. It's sort of a 'bible' for writers, editors, journalists-- anyone needing standardization or clarification on things like spelling and capitalization.

After hearing Mr. Hyman's editorial, I decided to check it out myself. Sure enough, right there in black-and-white, is the reference to 'abortion' exactly as he described it:



This falls right in line with the events that were happing in the Israeli/Palestine conflict over the past several months. AP reporters and photographers were accused of falsifying stories and staging photographs to make the plight of the poor widdle Palestinians being attacked by Israel much more harsh than it actually was.

I thought perhaps, that was an isolated incident, of Palestinian/Hezbollah supporters being hired to cover the story. Apparently, the Associated (with terrorism) Press has a different agenda than just reporting the news.

The lefties have infiltrated everything! Is nothing sacred?

Why Don't We Have Some Real Celebrities Like This in America?

From Australia, pop singer Beccy Cole has released this song to counter attacks on her for supporting 'the Diggers,' Aussie troops fighting in the middle east. Her reply: if you're not proud of our troops, take my poster off your wall. "I prefer to be a poster girl on the wrong side of the world."

Amen, baby, amen.


As Michelle Malkin calls it, kinda like a Bizarro 'Dixie' chick. (BTW, Dizie chicks, we're ashamed you're from this planet).
Looks like islamic fundamentalism is a global problem. Looks like they have the looney lefties in every country. God help us.

Ah, Yes. The Religion of Piece(s)

In typical double-standard fashion, izlamic fundamentalist doctors are requiring even their sickest patients to fast during ram-a-lam-a-ding-dong, at the risk of dying, even though their religion clearly doesn't require it. From Yahoo news:

'Bearded doctors' risking health of fasting patients: professor

CAIRO (AFP) - A growing number of Islamic fundamentalist doctors are putting their patients' health at risk by telling them to fast during the holy month of Ramadan, a prominent Egyptian doctor said.

"We have noticed that brain and heart accidents are on the rise towards the end of Ramadan," Mohammed Ahmed Nasr, a professor of cardiac surgery from the Egyptian National Heart Institute, told AFP.

"In Islam, one who is suffering from an ailment is not compelled to fast but there are bearded doctors who are simply not telling their patients the truth," he said.

During the holy month, which in Egypt ends Tuesday with the feast of Eid al-Fitr, most Muslims fast from dawn to dusk but continue their regular activity.

"The rise of Islamic fundamentalism in medical circles is a very dangerous phenomenon," said Nasr, who wrote an article that was published Monday in the Egyptian press.

"There are more and more complications among heart patients towards the end of Ramadan and in the worst cases these complications can lead to death," he warned.

Egypt's medical association has long campaigned against the influence of radical Islamists in the medical world.

For instance, it alleges that a group of influential Islamist doctors is blocking a law authorising and regulating organ transplants on religious grounds, despite backing from the country's top clerics for legislation.

The legal loophole has allowed a parallel industry of illegal organs trafficking to flourish.

They sell drugs to finance their jihad. They frequent strip clubs and drink liquor before they drive jetliners into skyscrapers. Now, they traffick in organs, I'm guessing to finance their jihad.

Nice religion, towelheads. Ever heard of the Ten Commandments? Your camel-humping, little girl-raping, sick, twisted 'religion' breaks about every single one of them. And you want to force it on the rest of us? Fuggedaboutit.

Geez, no wonder we're at war.

Stupid Judges and the Presidents Who Appoint Them

Our society is so f*cked up right now, everything is topsy-turvy.

Every day tops the previous one in amazement at how far our society has fallen, thanks to the political "my career is most important" whores in Warshington who appoint judges that will get accepted vs. judges with real values.

We have judges ruling against a program that allows the government to wiretap phone calls into terrorist sponsored states. We have judges forcing corporations to set up separate prayer rooms and allow muzlims extra time to practice their so-called religion. Two cases this week have my blood at 211 degrees -- just seconds away from boiling over:

Case one (H/T to Debbie Schlussel):

Ex-border agents sentenced for shooting smuggler
EL PASO, Texas - U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton has received dozens of angry letters and phone calls decrying the prosecution of a pair of former U.S. Border Patrol agents who were sentenced Thursday to more than 10 years in federal prison.

The agents, Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean, were convicted earlier this year of shooting Osvaldo Aldrete Davila, a drug smuggling suspect, as the man fled across the Rio Grande into Mexico after a confrontation with the agents.

Convicted for shooting a drug smuggler. Eleven and 12 year sentences.
Niiiceee.

Case 2:

Terrorist's Lawyer Gets Two-Year Term
NEW YORK — Defense lawyer Lynne F. Stewart on Monday was sentenced to 28 months in prison for aiding terrorists, far less than the 30 years prosecutors had sought.Stewart represented Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, who was sentenced to life in prison for plotting to blow up five landmarks in New York. In May 2000, in violation of prison rules, she passed on a statement from Rahman to a Reuters reporter.

Hmmm. Public servants working hard to protect the American border get 12 years in prison for shooting a drug smuggler. Terrorist sympathizer/traitor/lefty nutcase lawyer who aids an extremist who is responsible for hundreds of deaths gets two years.

God help us.

Streisand Has Outburst at NYC Concert
Oct 10 10:07 AM US/Eastern

By NEKESA MUMBI MOODYAP Music Writer
NEW YORK

It was an evening that elicited tears, standing ovations, raucous laughter and shouts of joy from the audience _ and was just in the first few minutes. Yes, Barbra Streisand's return to touring after a 12-year absence was the extravaganza that it promised to be. Monday night's show at Madison Square Garden was the third stop of a 20-city jaunt across the nation _ a virtual lovefest between the ultimate diva and an adoring, sold-out, celebrity-dotted crowd.

Streisand effortlessly crooned through a select repertoire of the hits she's amassed during her four-decade-plus career. But night's most riveting moment came during what was perhaps the only unscripted _ and truly uncomfortable _ episode in the three-hour show.

There was Streisand, enduring a smattering of very loud jeers as she and "George Bush" _ a celebrity impersonator _ muddled through a skit that portrayed the president as a bumbling idiot.

Though most of the crowd offered polite applause during the slightly humorous routine, it got a bit too long, especially for a few in the audience who just wanted to hear Streisand sing like she had been doing for the past hour.

"Come on, be polite!" the well-known liberal implored during the sketch as she and "Bush" exchanged zingers. But one heckler wouldn't let up. And finally, Streisand let him have it. "Shut the (expletive) up!" Streisand bellowed, drawing wild applause. "Shut up if you can't take a joke!" With that one F-word, the jeers ended. And the message was delivered _ no one gets away with trying to upstage Barbra Streisand, especially not in her hometown.

Once the outburst (which Streisand later apologized for) was over, Streisand noted that "the artist's role is to disturb," and delivered a message of tolerance before launching into a serenely beautiful rendition of "Somewhere." That put the focus back on what the audience came for _ her voice, one of the greatest female instruments of her generation.

She's definitely disturbing, and definitely an instrument (I'm thinking 'tool').

Message of tolerance. Riigghhttt...

Scary Movie: This is just too good to pass up.

From the Drudge Report (H/T to Michelle Malkin's Hot Air):

'SCARY MOVIE' PRODUCER MAKES CAMPAIGN AD;
MOCKS DEMOCRATS
Tue Oct 10 2006 15:13:16 ET

**Exclusive**

The DRUDGE REPORT has obtained an exclusive copy of a "scary" campaign advertisement created by Hollywood producer and director David Zucker that was intended to be used by GOP organizations in the closing weeks of the 2006 campaign.

However, the advertisement was deemed "too hot" by GOP strategists all across Washington, DC who have refused to use it!

In the ad, Zucker, producer of SCARY MOVIE 4, recreates former Clinton Secretary of State Madeleine Albright's 2000 visit to North Korea. During the visit, Secretary Albright presented North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il with a basketball autographed by former NBA superstar Michael Jordan.

An actress playing Secretary Albright is shown presenting Kim Jong Il with the Michael Jordan basketball, painting the walls of Osama bin Laden's Afghanistan cave and turning a blind eye to suicide bombers. In one scene her skirt rips as she changes the tire of a Middle Eastern dictator's limousine.

One GOP strategist said "jaws dropped" when the ad was first viewed. "Nobody could believe Zucker thought any political organization could use this ad. It makes a point, but it's way over the top."

Zucker is the producer and director of comedies such as "Airplane" and "The Naked Gun." In 2004, Zucker, a longtime Democrat, embraced the Republican Party based on concerns he had about national security issues and voted for President George W. Bush.

And of course, here's the video:


I knew there was a reason I liked Zucker. Finally, someone from Hollywood with some gray matter between the ears, and some cajones. Wake up Babs, Hanoi Jane, Michael Moore, The Boss, Dixie Hicks, and all your lefty cronies! Socialism is so last week.

Here We Go Again: Clinton 'Contained' N Korea Threat

From Newsmax:

North Korea Nukes Clinton Legacy
Charles R. Smith Wednesday, Jan. 8, 2003

Asian Arms Race Result of Appeasement Policy

The leftist media spin is that the current crisis in North Asia is the result of George W. Bush calling Pyongyang a member of the 'axis of evil.' In reality, the soft-line appeasement policy taken by Clinton against North Korea and China is what has led us to this point.

For example, former Clinton adviser Paul Begala, now serving as a talking head on CNN, claimed that the Clinton administration contained the threat from North Korea. Clearly, Mr. Begala missed the 1990s.

Of course, Mr. Begala simply forgot that Clinton's military chief of staff testified in 1998 that North Korea did not have an active ballistic missile program. One week later the North Koreans launched a missile over Japan that landed off the Alaska coast.

During the early Clinton years, hard-liners and so-called conservative hawks advocated a pre-emptive strike to halt North Korea's nuclear weapons development before it could field an atomic bomb. Instead of taking the hard line, President Clinton elected to rely on former President Jimmy Carter and decided to appease the Marxist-Stalinist dictatorship.

Carter met with North Korean leader Kim Jong-il in Pyongyang and returned to America waving a piece of paper and declaring peace in our time. Kim, according to Carter, had agreed to stop his nuclear weapons development. The Clinton appeasement program for North Korea included hundreds of millions of dollars in aid, food, oil and even a nuclear reactor. However, the agreement was flawed and lacked even the most informal means of verification.

When will the Jimmy Carters, the Clintons and the Kerrys of this world learn:
appeasements, incentives and diplomacy do not work against lunacy?

No More Apologies: If you don't like freedom of speech, get the h*ll out

H/T to Little Green Footballs. This "Islamic Brownshirts" article in the Spectator discusses how we should stop apologizing to islam for their own sensitivity and paranoia.

WE ARE BEING TERRORIZED OUT of our rights to freedom of speech and freedom of the press. The Islamic Brownshirts are working feverishly to suppress any criticism of themselves and their ideology. Because the president has (for the moment, at least) fled this battlefield, we must fight on our own. To begin, we have to recognize, and speak out on, four ground truths.

First, there is an enormous advantage America has over the nations in the grip of radical Islam. That advantage is enshrined in the Constitution's Bill of Rights, the freedoms stated in it inherently incompatible with radical Islam. Every time we apologize for an act such as labeling the Islamofascists correctly, we lose a bit of that freedom. Islamic fascists are just that, and we should remind the world of it at every opportunity. Just like those in Germany and conquered Europe who every night slept fitfully fearing the Gestapo's knock on the door, the people who live under radical Islam live in constant fear. The oppressed are not our enemy: the oppressors are.

Second, as Robert Spencer's Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam and the Crusades documents thoroughly -- quoting at length from the hadith (sayings of Muhammad that accompany the Koran) -- radical Islamists can offer only three choices to non-believers: convert to Islam, pay the poll-tax on non-Muslims and live under Islamic law, or war. As Spencer wrote, "Always remember, 'peaceful coexistence as equals in a pluralistic society' isn't one of the choices." The only answer to this is to Americanize the words of Australian Treasurer Peter Costello, who said in an August 2005 interview:

"[T]his is a country, which is founded on a democracy. According to our Constitution, we have a secular state. Our laws are made by the Australian Parliament. If those are not your values, if you want a country which has Sharia law or a theocratic state, then Australia is not for you. This is not the kind of country where you would feel comfortable if you were opposed to democracy, parliamentary law, independent courts and so I would say to people who don't feel comfortable with those values there might be other countries where they'd feel more comfortable with their own values or beliefs."

So it must be here. Anyone who wants to embrace our Constitution and renounce other law, who wants to be a participant in our democracy and is not hostile to the freedoms we enjoy, is welcome. Others are not.

Third, America began with a Declaration of Independence that was written, in part, because of our "decent respect to the opinions of mankind." But decent respect does not mean that we are ruled by others' opinions or law. And when we look at what is happening in England and Europe, we know we cannot accept that result and must summon our resolve to fight -- by words and deeds -- its achievement here.

Most importantly, the reigning emotions among radical Islamists are paranoia and insecurity. They think that anyone who utters the slightest criticism of them, their religion or their societies must be punished violently. The fourth ground truth is that these emotions are their problem, not ours. We must use them to our advantage. The weapon provided by the radicals' fear and insecurity should be used incessantly. Scorn, contempt, shame and disrespect are what we should heap upon them. Every time we denounce a terrorist, the denunciation should include every single person, group and government that shares his beliefs. Civilization owes no apologies to Islamic fascists. Let us hear no more of them.

TAS contributing editor Jed Babbin is the author of Inside the Asylum: Why the UN and Old Europe Are Worse Than You Think (Regnery, 2004)

Remember the old signs from the Vietnam era? AMERICA: LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT. We need to have this translated into arabic, somalian, kurdish, and any other language the towelheads understand and post it publicly.

It will be incredibly difficult to clean out the infestation of islam in the US without vigilantism. Obviously, our elected officials don't have the cajones to do it. I predict an uprising in the coming years and months, a backlash against anything muslim. Unfortunately, more people will have to die before the dhimmi majority of Americans understand.

Former Islamic extremist: Stop being a 'passive terrorist'

H/T to Robert Spencer who runs the Jihad Watch blog & news site. With a lifelong history of studying islam and other religions, Mr. Spencer has been attempting to convince westerners for years of the intentions of the islamic world. He has been denouncing the writings of the prophet Muhammed, based on english translations of the qu'ran, the scripture of islam, and the hadiths, the frequently violent writings and teachings of Muhammed. He has been asking so-called 'moderate' muslims in the west to openly condemn these writings and to work to reform their religion to remove the violence and hate. His recently released book, 'The Truth About Muhammad: Founder of the World's Most Intolerant Religion' is sure to spark even more controversy.

Mr. Spencer has been largely ignored, except for the condemnation of his work as hate speech. Until now.

An op-ed piece in the Rocky Mountain News from a former extremist muslim reaffirms what Mr. Spencer has been saying: Muslims must both denounce and renounce their violent hadiths.

Ayman al-Zawahri, al-Qaida's No. 2 man, leader, last month announced that Americans must choose: Convert to Islam or continue to receive acts of terror.

Al-Zawahri was reiterating a fundamental concept of Salafi Islamic teaching, the fountainhead of extremist thinking. Yet the authors of the American government's recent intelligence report on terrorism's spread seem not to have been listening.

Zawahri's threat is based on a saying of the Prophet Muhammad as written in Sahih Al-Buchary, a central book of Salafi Islamic teaching. This hadith, or fundamental concept, states: "I have been ordered by Allah to fight and kill all mankind until they say, 'No God except Allah and Muhammad is the prophet of Allah' (Hadith Sahih)." Based on this hadith, early Muslims used the sword to spread Islam throughout the world. The same hadith inspires contemporary Islamic terror including this summer's thwarted London airplane explosions. Other rationales that terrorists use to justify terrorism - the Arab-Israeli conflict, America's involvement in Iraq - are simply useful propaganda cover stories, not the actual causes or goals of terrorists' actions.

Americans must be wary of political leaders who accept the propaganda explanations. To win the war on terror, America's leaders must recognize the powerful role of the Islamic religious principle of jihad, Islam's belief that it must conquer the world, which derives from the above hadith. Belief in jihad is what causes so many Muslims worldwide to cheer terrorist acts such as 9/11, European subway bombings, and Hezbollah and Hamas attacks against Israel.

Allowing jihadist teaching to continue is like allowing cancer cells to survive in a human body.

The human immune system demonstrates that nurturing normal cells and respecting their variance sustains life. A healthy body nourishes cell diversity. A healthy body politic, similarly, must value respect for different beliefs. At the same time, if an immune system shows any tolerance whatsoever for cancer cells, the latter will terminate that body's life. The immune system of a body politic must have a similar zero tolerance for beliefs that incite violence against its citizens.

Cancer can be overcome if an individual has a strong immune system that acts to triumph over the killer cells. Similarly, the cancerous teachings of Salafi Islam could become insignificant if the majority of Muslims were to vocally oppose them.

Unfortunately, however, the vast majority of Muslims, Islamic organizations and Islamic scholars have not publicly objected to these teachings. There have been no powerful Muslim demonstrations to denounce Osama bin Laden and not a single fatwa by top Islamic scholars or organizations to consider bin Laden an apostate - as was done to Salman Rushdie just for writing a novel.

Because the teachings continue, a significant proportion of the world's Muslims have become passive terrorists, peaceful citizens whose sympathy in their hearts and support with their purses enable terrorism's spread.

If Islamic scholars and organizations in America disapprove of jihadist teachings, they must speak out against them. Americans should consider Muslims to be moderates, and Islam a peaceful faith, only if, in English and in Arabic, Muslims clearly denounce their violent hadiths and strike them from the books that educate their next generation.

In addition to internal immune reactions, externally applied interventions also can destroy cancer cells. Like cancer-fighting chemotherapy, strongly applied military might can reduce large tumors. America eliminated al-Qaida training camps in Afghanistan, but the verdict is not yet in on whether Israel this past summer similarly decimated Hezbollah.

To conquer the metastases of extremist Islam, however, words may be the most potent weapons. Outspoken condemnation of the theological sources of terrorism by American intellectuals and politicians, reinforcing the self-examination of Muslims themselves, could make a vital difference.

Addressing the theological wellsprings of Islamic terrorist motivation is essential if America is to succeed in its war against terrorism. Pope Benedict XVI has begun leading the way. Neither political correctness nor Muslim outrage must be allowed to prevent further realistic talk about the religious underpinnings of Islamic violence. Otherwise Islamic teaching will continue to spread jihad's cancerous beliefs.

Dr. Tawfik Hamid, an Egyptian physician, Islamic scholar and former extremist, is the author of The Roots of Jihad (www.rootsofjihad.org). Hamid will be speaking in Denver at the University of Denver on Monday at 7:30 p.m.

Dr. Hamid's words are sure to fall upon deaf ears and also regarded as hate speech. Here's an excerpt from Mr. Spencer's article at Jihad watch:

...regular readers of Jihad Watch will recognize the familiar denial, the familiar indignation, the familiar charges of ignorance and ill will. These have become the dispiritingly common ways in which all too many Muslim spokesmen respond to those who merely point out various aspects of Islamic tradition that make them uncomfortable. Instead of working in constructive ways for reform, they prefer to demonize and vilify those who, like me, bring such material to light -- as if I really did make up the incident in which Muhammad married his daughter-in-law and somehow, through my black Zionist arts, made millions of Muslims believe it.

That's why it was refreshing to read "Speakout: Muslims must both denounce, renounce their violent hadiths," by Dr. Tawfik Hamid in the Rocky Mountain News (thanks to Skip). For quoting the same hadith he quotes in this piece and noting the same thing he notes about it -- that jihadists today take it seriously -- I have been called a hatemonger, a liar, an ignoramus, the spawn of the devil himself. Of course, Hamid leaves the Qur'an untouched, and there is plenty in that book that also must be examined critically if Islamic violence is ever to be mitigated, but his honesty about the hadith is refreshing, and sorely needed.

Amen, Robert. God bless you and keep up the good work. I'm looking forward to reading your new book.

Please, I urge you to write and send this traitor to hell where it belongs.

More Ammo to Shut Boob Woodward Up

H/T to Bookworm Room blog. Here's an article from Marin(CA) Independent Journal about a soldier returning on leave from Iraq, making a presentation to a middle school class about Iraq.

Marin soldier tells stories from Iraq's frontline
Joe Wolfcale

As gray rain clouds swirled above, 101st Airborne Lt. Ronan Kennedy stood tall in a courtyard of Kent Middle School wearing blue jeans, a light blue polo shirt and tan boots.

Seventh-grade teacher Teri Alton could not contain herself.

Teary-eyed and with a huge smile on her face, Alton - who teaches world history - bolted from her classroom and gave Kennedy a hug and welcome home.


LIFE IN IRAQ: Ronan Kennedy, who is home on leave after serving in Iraq, talks with seventh- and eighth-graders at Kent Middle School who have been sending letters and care packages to Kennedy and his fellow troops in Iraq. (IJ photo/Jeff Vendsel)

"I feel like I know him although I've never really met him," Alton said. "It's really great to see him home here."

Kennedy, who attended Bacich Elementary, Kent Middle and Redwood High schools before graduating in 1999, is home on leave for a couple of weeks. He decided to visit the students of Alton and eighth-grade teacher Ryan Palmer, who formed pen pal relationships with the soldiers in Kennedy's unit last school year.

Kennedy, 25, just finished a deployment in Bayji, Iraq, supervising 44 soldiers in a maintenance group that repairs broken Humvees, armored vehicles and other armaments. He will set out for another one-year deployment next year.

More than 30 students dropped by the classroom Thursday during lunch hour to hear Kennedy talk about his experiences in Iraq. He brought along a video montage that brought the war home to the wide-eyed students.

"War is always sad," Kennedy said, responding to a question from one student. "I've seen people get killed; my best friend was killed.

"It's hot over there," he said. "We have to wear all this gear. It's very hot traveling in a Humvee. Sometimes, we'd only get four to five hours sleep. It's what we call living on the edge."

Soldiers' lives were brightened by the packages Kent students mailed to Kennedy, who, in turn, would dispense candy, CDs and other items to colleagues.

"Some of our guys didn't get any mail," Kennedy said. "One got divorce papers. So it was really amazing to keep getting these great packages. I can't say enough how much that meant to us."

During his slide show, Kennedy showed photographs of military helicopters in action, some of the soldiers who participated as pen pals, and an area where his unit discovered three land mines. He also included a group photo of his unit.

Alton estimated the school mailed more than 30 packages to Kennedy's unit. The Kentfield School District paid the postage to ship the packages abroad.

Kennedy will spend his remaining time home getting caught up on his sleep and eating favorite foods, including pizza, that he missed while in Iraq. On Oct. 16, he'll return to Fort Campbell in Clarksville, Tenn., and begin training for his next mission. He is signed up until April 2008.

Kennedy said he suffers some hearing loss from gunfire and loud explosions, gets claustrophobic around crowds and has become more observant.

"I'm so glad he's safe, but I'm saddened by the fact that his life has changed," Alton said. "Our students were so eager to meet him today."

God bless Lt. Kennedy and other brave patriots who are keeping us safe from islamic tyranny.

Bob Woodward, Watch this Video

Bob Woodward, who's claim to fame is outing President Nixon and exposing the Watergate scandal, recently released his book damning the current administration for "hiding the facts" about the war in Iraq. How the hell does he know, other than selective interviews? He hasn't been there. These people have:

Midwest Heroes, a website supporting the troops who are fighting for our freedom and our western way of life, offers this video at YouTube:


I urge you to visit their website, read their stories, and support them. They appear to be part of the Progress for America organization that's been running the "They Want to Kill Us" ads to remind us of the importance of this job that needs to be done.

God bless these brave men and women in uniform who are fighting to preserve western civilization. To quote from this trailer, "These guys that are over there right now are doing a helluva job, and almost to a man, they want to finish the mission."

Hey Democrats, Cindy Sheehan, other lefty moonbats, ARE YOU LISTENING?

A Movie Every American Needs to See

Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West

Here's the trailer for the film every American needs to see. It's what the mainstream media isn't showing us -- they don't want us to know!



I urge you to buy a copy of this DVD and show it to as many people as you can.

Progress for America Releases New Video, Launches New Website

H/T to Ohio Conservative blogger, who received a contact from Progress for America, the organization responsible for the "They Want to Kill Us" ads appearing on national television recently. They've launched a new advocacy website -- United to Defeat Terrorism.

Little did I know the organization is associated with David Beamer, father of Flight 93 hero Todd "Let's Roll!" Beamer. God bless Mr. Beamer and his family, he raised a brave son and a true American. Mr. Beamer is distributing copies of United 93 to anyone that will hold a public screening.

United 93 is the recent feature film about the fourth flight hijacked by the islamic jihadists on Sept. 11, 2001. Todd and other brave passengers on the flight thwarted the efforts of the scumbag islamic hijackers to crash the plane into some government landmark in Washington DC; they ultimately lost their lives when the plane crashed into a field near Shanksville, PA.

Here's the latest video:


I urge you to support Mr. Beamers and PFA's efforts to get the words out about the war on these islamic sh*tbags.

Suggested double feature: Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West

America to Congress: You're Fired!

God, am I frustrated.

America is in the fight for the very existence of our civilization: we're fighting islamic extremists around the world; we're being invaded by illegals from Mexico and who knows where else, protesting for their 'rights'; our society is being infiltrated from within by islamists trying to establish shari'a and an islamic state; our national security is being compromised by weak-kneed, politically correct politicians on both side of the fence --- I could go on, and on, and on.

The country's in a mess, and what is Congress and the mainstream media focusing on? The Mark Foley 'scandal' of a congressman who sent some nasty IMs to a page. Big f*cking deal! Shut up and sit down! I don't care if you all want to suck c*ck, or shove one up your *ss, or lick the sh*t off them.

I DON'T CARE!

Congress, CBS news, NBC, ABC (Rosferatu and the VIEW), CNN, you're all WHORES selling your souls to the highest bidder.

The only thing anyone in our government, elected or otherwise, appears to care about, is covering their own ass.

WTF? I give up. Fire them all. Time to cut our losses and start over.
