  • You’re Damned Right We’re Angry

    Frank Rich, a New York Times hack, wrote a column bitching about the anger of Republicans and accusing us of ‘Weimar-like rage’ and ‘inciting vigilantism’, ad infinitum.

    What makes them (Read: Republicans) different, and what has pumped up the Weimar-like rage at McCain-Palin rallies, is the violent escalation in rhetoric, especially (though not exclusively) by Palin. Obama “launched his political career in the living room of a domestic terrorist.” He is “palling around with terrorists” (note the plural noun). Obama is “not a man who sees America the way you and I see America.”

  • Sandinista cutthroat endorses Obama

    Just wonderful:

    President Daniel Ortega, who led the 1979 revolution in Nicaragua, says Barack Obama’s presidential bid is a “revolutionary” phenomenon in the United States.

    “It’s not to say that there is already a revolution under way in the U.S. … but yes, they are laying the foundations for a revolutionary change,” the Sandinista leader said Wednesday night as he accepted an honorary doctorate from an engineering university.

    Ortega led a Soviet-backed government that battled U.S.-supported Contra rebels before he lost power in a 1990 election. He returned to office last year via the ballot box.

    In statements broadcast on Sandinista Radio La Primerisima, Ortega said he has “faith in God and in the North American people, and above all in the youth, that the moment of great change in the U.S. will come and it will act differently, with justice and equality toward all nations.”

    Ortega returned to power with the same communist agenda as before, along with a state-owned media to propagate his message. Seems like old times.

    Naturally, he pushes illegal immigration:

    Ortega also called Obama a spokesman for the millions of Central American and Mexican citizens who migrate to the U.S. in search of work, though polls indicate most Latino voters so far have favored Clinton over Obama.

    And echoes the left’s harangue over the former “School of the America”:

    Also Wednesday, Ortega gave approval to various army officials to receive training at the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation, operated by the U.S. Defense Department in Fort Benning, Georgia ” even as he said he would continue to lobby for the school’s closure.

    Pot, meet kettle:

    The president claims that members of the now-defunct National Guard who were trained at the school, formerly known as the School of the Americas, were involved in torture. Human rights groups say graduates went on to commit abuses throughout Latin America.
    …Ortega did not explain why he approved the training, but said he would try to ensure officials did not turn into”torturers and killers.”

    For Americans with short memories, Ortega was the leader of the communist Sandinistas who flourished as an extention of Soviet influence in Central America in the 80’s. He and his merry band of revolutionary thugs were responsible for slaughtering dissidents and Miskito Indians, who wouldn’t knuckle under the Marxist-Leninist theory of indoctrination.

    Ortega subjugated the Catholic Church, suppressed the media, and imprisoned and executed “counter-revolutionaries” by the thousands.

    While leftist asshats like columnist William Greider chirped praise for Ortega and railed against the Contras, members of La Prensa, an outspoken newspaper in Nicaragua, were repeatedly harassed, jailed, censored, and forced into exile.

    The Sandinistas continued their bloodbath until they were were ousted during the 1990 elections.

    Since then, Ortega has been a political chameleon, changing with whatever opportunity presents, and was re-elected in 2006.

    Ortega is in a tight spot. The Soviet safety net is gone, and he has to rely on the capitalist system for handouts; U.S. foreign aid and the International Monetary Fund. Nicaraguan youth, too young to remember the Sandinista rule, enthusiastically greeted his election.

    Unstable regions of the world like Central America have always been a playground for socialism and communist regimes. The Left adopts leaders of these movements as darlings; without being subjected to the consequences. It’s no wonder despots like Ortega endorse Democrat candidates.

    Obama should be proud.

  • Nancy Pelosi’s “Failure” Mantra

    Pelosi echoes Harry (”the war is lost”) Reid:

    House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said twice Sunday that Iraq “is a failure,” adding that President Bush’s troop surge has “not produced the desired effect.”

    “The purpose of the surge was to create a secure time for the government of Iraq to make the political change to bring reconciliation to Iraq,” Pelosi said on CNN’s “Late Edition.” “They have not done that.”

    Yeah, the ‘desired effect’ was total victory for Islamofascism and defeat of U.S. forces.

    The speaker hastened to add: “The troops have succeeded, God bless them.”

    Much to your dismay, Pelosi.

    ……Anchor Wolf Blitzer asked: “Are you not worried, though, that all the gains that have been achieved over the past year might be lost?”

    “There haven’t been gains, Wolf,” the speaker replied. “The gains have not produced the desired effect, which is the reconciliation of Iraq. This is a failure. This is a failure. The troops have succeeded, God bless them. We owe them the greatest debt of gratitude for their sacrifice, their patriotism, and for their courage and to their families as well.

    Didja get that? “Blinky” Pelosi can’t even get her defeatest story straight. She claims ‘failure’, yet in the same fetid breath she thanks us for our success.

    “But they deserve better than the policy of a war without end, a war that could be 20 years or longer. And Secretary Gates just testified in the last 24 hours to Congress that this next year in Iraq and Afghanistan are going to cost $170 billion.

    It would’ve been cheaper to use a couple of neutron bombs, but hey, they wouldn’t listen to me.

    We deserved better leadership than what we were saddled with between 1992 and 2000. FIVE terrorist attacks happened under Bubba’s watch; Khobar Towers, USS Cole, the U.S. Embassy attacks in Kenya and Tanzania, and the first  World Trade center attack in 1993. His response? He wagged the dog in Mogadishu and Bosnia. He was too busy getting re-election cash from Bejiing and blow jobs from Monica to care about national security.

    We also deserve better than mealy-mouthed leftwing democrats calling us “mercenaries” and “Nazi’s”, and telling us that they don’t think the sacrifice of the fallen in this war was “worth it”. We know more than anyone about how sacrificing for democracy works, having defended it for over 230 years.

    “Afghanistan is not settled because the president took his eye off the ball and took the full attention that should have been in Afghanistan, and shifted some of that to Iraq, a war without end, without a plan, without a reason to go in, without a plan to win, without a strategy to leave. This is a disaster … we cannot perpetuate.”

    http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0208/8422.html

    Well let’s see now, al Qadea and the Taliban have gotten their asses royally kicked in Iraq and Afghanistan. There were 3000  reasons to go in and kill them. The plan is working. We’ve won. When Baghdad and Kabul are ready to take the reins, we’ll be through.

    The Democratic wing of Al Qaeda just can’t let go of their defeatist ambitions. On the other hand, the Al Qaeda in Iraq already know they’re beaten to a pulp:

    Al-Qaeda in Iraq faces an “extraordinary crisis”. Last year’s mass defection of ordinary Sunnis from al-Qaeda to the US military “created panic, fear and the unwillingness to fight”. The terrorist group’s security structure suffered “total collapse”.

    These are the words not of al-Qaeda’s enemies but of one of its own leaders in Anbar province — once the group’s stronghold. They were set down last summer in a 39-page letter seized during a US raid on an al-Qaeda base near Samarra in November.

    The US military released extracts from that letter yesterday along with a second seized in another November raid that is almost as startling.

    That second document is a bitter 16-page testament written last October by a local al-Qaeda leader near Balad, north of Baghdad. “I am Abu-Tariq, emir of the al-Layin and al-Mashahdah sector,” the author begins. He goes on to describe how his force of 600 shrank to fewer than 20.

    “We were mistreated, cheated and betrayed by some of our brothers,” he says. “Those people were nothing but hypocrites, liars and traitors and were waiting for the right moment to switch sides with whoever pays them most.”

    Assuming the two documents are authentic — and the US military insists that they are — they provide a rare insight into an organisation thrown into turmoil by the rise of the Awakening movement. More than 80,000 Sunnis have joined the tribal groups of “concerned local citizens” [CLCs] that have helped to eject al-Qaeda from swaths of western and northern Iraq, including much of Baghdad.

    US intelligence officials cautioned, however, that the documents were snapshots of two small areas and that al-Qaeda was far from a spent force.

    ……The Anbar letter conceded that the “crusaders” — Americans — had gained the upper hand by persuading ordinary Sunnis that al-Qaeda was responsible for their suffering and by exploiting their poverty to entice them into the security forces.
    Al-Qaeda’s “Islamic State of Iraq is faced with an extraordinary crisis, especially in al-Anbar”, the unnamed emir admitted.

    In an apparent reference to al-Qaeda’s brutal tactics, he said of the Americans and their Sunni allies: “We helped them to unite against us . . . The Americans and the apostates launched their campaigns against us and we found ourselves in a circle not being able to move, organise or conduct our operations.”

    He said of the loss of Anbar province: “This created weakness and psychological defeat. This also created panic, fear and the unwillingness to fight.

    The morale of the fighters went down . . . There was a total collapse in the security structure of the organisation.” The emir complained that the supply of foreign fighters had dwindled and that they found it increasingly hard to operate inside Iraq because they could not blend in. Foreign suicide bombers determined to kill “not less than 20 or 30 infidels” grew disillusioned because they were kept hanging about and only given small operations. Some gave up and went home.

    Finally the emir recommended rewards for killing apostates, using doctors to kill infidels and offering gifts to tribal leaders. He said al-Qaeda’s fighters should be sent to more promising areas such as Diyala province or Baghdad — which is exactly what happened.

    Rear-Admiral Gregory Smith, the US military spokesman in Baghdad, called Abu-Tariq’s testament a “woe-is-me kind of document”. It calls the Sunnis who switched sides a “cancer in the body of al-Jihad movement”, and declares: “We should have no mercy on them.”

    The author lists those who have made off with al-Qaeda weapons or money, describes the group’s arsenal, including C5 rockets, which are used against helicopters, and records the fate of the battalions under his command.

    Most of the first battalion’s fighters “betrayed us and joined al-Sahwah [the Awakening]”, he says. The leader of the second ran away and all but two of its 300 fighters joined the Awakening. The activities of the third were “frozen due to their present conditions”. Of the fourth he writes: “Most of its members are scoundrels, sectarians, non-believers”.

    He lists 38 people still working for him but beside five names he has written comments like “We have not seen him for twenty days” or “left us a week ago”. He concludes, wistfully: “And that is the number of fighters left in my sector.”

    Gee, the beleaguered Abu-Tariq sounds so much like Pelosi, it’s downright scary.

  • Proposed Stimulus for Mexico’s Southern Border?!?

    Incredible. There’s a $1.4 Billion proposal by President Bush called the Merida Initiative, which includes a $550 Million allocation to assist Mexico with the security of their southern border. Â

    What. The. Hell. Over?

    This partnership would support coordinated strategies to:

    *Produce a safer and more secure hemisphere where criminal organizations no longer threaten governments and regional security; and
    *Prevent the entry and spread of illicit drugs and transnational threats throughout the region and to the United States.

    To achieve these goals, President Bush has requested $550 million as part of a multi-year program to provide:

    *Non-intrusive inspection equipment, ion scanners, canine units for Mexican customs, for the new federal police and for the military to interdict trafficked drugs, arms, cash and persons.
    *Technologies to improve and secure communications systems to support collecting information as well as ensuring that vital information is accessible for criminal law enforcement.
    *Technical advice and training to strengthen the institutions of justice – vetting for the new police force, case management software to track investigations through the system to trial, new offices of citizen complaints and professional responsibility, and establishing witness protection programs.
    *Helicopters and surveillance aircraft to support interdiction activities and rapid operational response of law enforcement agencies in Mexico.
    *Initial funding for security cooperation with Central America that responds directly to Central American leaders’ concerns over gangs, drugs, and arms articulated during July SICA meetings and the SICA Security Strategy.
    *Includes equipment and assets to support counterpart security agencies inspecting and interdicting drugs, trafficked goods, people and other contraband as well as equipment, training and community action programs in Central American countries to implement anti-gang measures and expand the reach of these measures in the region.

    Our government is giving a country, known for invading our southern border, the resources to secure their own?

    Hey George, couldja maybe fork over some money for a U.S. border wall, increased border patrol, guard towers, machine guns, trenches, motion sensors….you know, protection for us for a change?

    Meanwhile, the efforts to secure our own border are languishing:

    The government plans to add 11 miles of border fence in Arizona this year, far fewer than what was built last year.

    For months the government has been mum about much of its plans, but details emerged in recently released environmental assessments. Those documents, the first step in fence-building, reveal officials’ plans to add 7 miles of fence east of Nogales and 4 miles along the Colorado River, using a combination of pedestrian fence, vehicle barrier and access road improvements.

    The effort is being criticized by two sides.

    Environmentalists say the Department of Homeland Security is threatening endangered animals by ignoring environmental laws to build barriers across their habitats.

    “I’m really now very concerned about an ecological disaster by blocking off this border,” said Kim Vacariu, western director of the Wildlands Project.

    Like this, Vacariu?:

    bordertrash.jpg

    That’s a snapshot of just a fraction of the filth left behind by south-of-the-border slugs traipsing into the U.S.

    Pro-fence activists, on the other hand, accuse the DHS of backing off its obligations by not building enough pedestrian fencing and not double-layering it.

    They say more fence is critical in a state that remains the most active pot- and human-smuggling route on the entire U.S.-Mexican border.

    Glenn Spencer, founder of American Border Patrol, says the government cares more about open borders and amnesty for illegal immigrants than building the fence.

    “Where the smuggling is really serious, they’re not building anything,” Spencer said.

    Naturally, Mexican president Felipe Calderon, an avid illegal immigration pimp, weighed in on the controversy:

    On his first trip to the U.S. as Mexico’s president, Calderon said he is working to combat anti-Americanism in Mexico and to improve job prospects there to reduce migration. He said he hopes that Americans resist anti-Mexican sentiments.

    “The worst thing that happened in this country is this anti-Mexican or anti-immigrant perception of people. We need to contain this,” Calderon said after a speech at Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government.

    “I need to change in Mexico the perception that the Americans are the enemy, and it is important to change the perception that the Mexicans are the enemy,” he said. “We are neighbors, we are friends and we must be allies.”

    Link: http://apnews.myway.com/article/20080212/D8UOH1CG2.html

    Calderon goes on to spew his demands for our money:

    Calderon also appeared to reject any added conditions on a proposed $1.4 billion U.S. anti-drug aid package that had been negotiated with American officials, saying, “I cannot accept any submission or subordination.”
    The proposal by the administration of President George W. Bush, dubbed the Merida Initiative, is meant to give Mexico aid, training and equipment to fight drug trafficking, which U.S. officials see as an American national security problem.

    It still awaits approval in Congress, and some U.S. legislators have suggested the program may need safeguards to prevent corruption or human rights abuses by Mexican military and law enforcement personnel.

    “I need that technology,” Calderon said. “Give it to me. And give it to me without conditions.”

    Calderon also criticized U.S. involvement in Iraq, saying U.S. leaders were “spending Americans’ money and putting the government into debt to finance their military adventure, and that is squeezing out private investment.”

    Fuck you, pendejo. There’s this little U.S. Federal Statute called U.S. Code Title 8. Throwing the race card in the face of our laws will not give you credibility. ILLEGAL immigration is the contention. This is not the United States of Mexico, it’s the United States of America, amigo. And notice his hissy fit over the fact that we dare to divert money into fighting Islamofascists on their turf on behalf of our national security; money that he feels is rightfully his.

    Bubba Clinton bailed out Mexico to the tune of $50 Billion, and you can bet your last Peso it went for Vincente Fox’s palace.

    This Mexican blood sucker expects us to pour even more tax dollars into his corrupt-laden cesspool, without stipulations. He’s even more of a pompous, arrogant jackass than his predecessor, and I didn’t think that was possible.

    Americans are already footing the bill for the millions of illegals who already snuck in and haven’t yet been deported by our apathetic government.

    The most insidious thing about this push-through legislation is that our elected officials are ignoring the will of the American people. We want a secure, monitored border, well-regulated immigration, and protection of our sovereignty. With George Bush we’ve gotten very little of that.

    Just think what will happen if/when John McCain gets elected.

    His record on border security is even worse.

  • The 2008 Election Bummer

    The GOP candidates are mighty thin in substance this time around.

    I don’t like choosing among the least of the selection of evils. 

    Big issues with me:  National security, border security, illegals, killing Islamofascists, pork-barrel spending and the economy.

    Sizing up the current (and former) candidates:

    Fred Thompson:

    I wanted to vote for him, but never got the chance.  Fred was late to the game and never got the real momentum he needed to stay in the race.  He came the closest in terms of what I look for in a leader and potential President of the United States. He is strong on national and border security, illegal immigration, the war on Islamofascism, and the 2nd Amendment. Whomever gets the GOP nod for nomination, would be very smart to choose him as a presidential running mate.

    Now that Fred is out, that leaves us with the remaining consolation prizes:

    Mitt Romney:

    His politics are like a damned revolving door.  He talks the Conservative talk on the issues but doesn’t walk the walk.
    Aside from that, I’ll admit I’m very leery of Mormons and their religion.
    I’m agnostic, so I don’t care for religion in general. I care even less for one that by it’s very nature, is exclusive and cultish.

    Joseph Smith was a neurotic con man who concocted the “Gold Bible,” engraved on metal plates in an “Egyptian dialect” only he could read, with the aid of magic goggles. He dictated this manuscript to several secretaries from behind a curtain. This is funny, considering he was illiterate.

    Brigham Young, the other prominent Mormon figure, was a cold-blooded murderer. (Mountain Meadows Massacre in 1857)

    It’s hard to respect followers of a religion founded by a couple of wackjobs.
    Secondly, the history of the Mormons in Utah reads like a chapter out of the Book of Mafia.

    Human Events on Romney:

    ……examining his record and listening to his campaign rhetoric indicate to us that he is more a problem-solver than a gut conservative. His “RomneyCare” legislation made Massachusetts the first state in the nation to impose an “individual mandate,” which requires everyone in the state to have health coverage or face significant penalties. And we have concerns about the big-government approach he took as governor, raising state “fees,” according to the Cato Institute, by $500 million and proposing two corporate tax increases totaling close to $400 million a year.

    John McCain:
    Jeezus, where do I start?  He’s the quintessential R.I.N.O.  I can’t tell you how many times I’ve yelled at the T.V. screen during his speeches:  “Just end the charade and cross the fucking aisle, John”!  
    He claims to have “gotten the message” with regard to his shitty border security/immigration stance, but that’s belied by his disgraceful coersion with Juan Hernandez, a leading illegal immigration pimp, who’s as fazed by U.S. Code Title 8, as McCain seems to be.

    Human Events on McCain:

    …..he does not honor many conservative principles. His co-authorship of the Bush-McCain-Kennedy “comprehensive immigration reform” legislation last summer ran directly against our principles of American sovereignty and national security. His position has not been ameliorated by his more recent explanations of border-security measures he might support. His opposition to the Bush tax cuts, his support for economy-strangling measures to control “global warming” and his anti-torture legislation (which didn’t make torture illegal, it already was: McCain’s law only made a clear law vague to the point of unenforceability) all cut against the conservative grain. And so did his McCain-Feingold campaign finance law with its stifling of political free speech.

     On Michael Huckabee:

    For 10 years, as governor of Arkansas, Mike Huckabee supported amnesty and taxpayer-financed welfare and health care for illegal aliens and increased taxes numerous times. Now, after sniffing the political winds, he poses as tough on illegal aliens and a tax-whacker.
    http://www.alipac.us/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=2845

    “Mike Huckabee raised more taxes in 10 years in office than Bill Clinton did in his 12 years.” — writes Ernie Dumas, Arkansas Leader.
    http://www.votemike.net/

    In 1999 Mike Huckabee, despite numerous warnings from victims of a serial rapist, pushed for the release of Wayne Dumond. At the time, Huckabee said that there was no real evidence the rapist would strike again and represented no threat to the public. Because of Huckabee’s push for the release, Wayne Dumond was released 25 years early.
    Soon after Dumond’s release in 1999, he moved to Smithville, Missouri, where he went on to rape and kill Carol Sue Shields, a 39 year old woman. Dumond went on to kill Sara Andrasek, 23 year old from Platte County, Missouri, a day before his arrest in 2001.
    http://www.votemike.net/category/topic/ethics

    Human Events on Huckabee:

    ……But his support for the economically disastrous “cap-and-trade” fix for global warming is as bad as Sen. McCain’s position on the issue. The so-called “fair tax” he supports is unworkable. His tax-and-spend policies do not comport with conservative principles, but they do align all too well with Huckabee’s populist rhetoric on the injustice of corporate CEO salaries. His stance on granting special benefits to the children of illegal aliens is also very troubling. On the war, Gov. Huckabee’s understanding of the issues does not impress us. For example, he wants to close the terrorist detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and move the detainees there into U.S. prisons, which — as Sen. Thompson schooled him on in a recent debate — would result in the grant of constitutional rights to terrorist detainees even though they are enemy combatants.

    Gov. Huckabee’s grasp of foreign policy does not make us comfortable.

    Makes me very uncomfortable, too. 

    The Dems:

    Dennis Kucinich: On behalf of the sane, rational people in the state of Ohio, I want to apologize for the union pukes and brain-damaged sycophants who continue to re-elect this jerk back into his Senate seat.

    Ron Paul: Yeah, I know he claims to be a Republican, but he’s in the same unique category as Kucinich: moonbat. He and his legion of “troofers” represent a fringe of the political spectrum usually reserved for the Greens and UFO fanatics.

    As for the two leading Dems:

    Barack Obama on Foreign Policy:

    “And if I am your nominee, my opponent will not be able to say that I voted for the war in Iraq, because I didn’t, or that I gave George Bush the benefit of the doubt on Iran, because I haven’t, or that I support the Bush-Cheney doctrine of not talking to leaders we don’t like, because I profoundly disagree with that approach.

    Link: http://www.examiner.com/a-1203357~Obama_Speech_Excerpts.html

    In other words, “I’ll make that pusillanimous waste of skin Jimmy Carter, look good“.

    His ideas on penalizing wealthy taxpayers for doing well:

    Democrat Barack Obama said Sunday he will push for higher Social Security taxes if elected, viewing it as the best option for improving the retirement program’s finances…during an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Obama said taxing more of a person’s income was the option he would push for if elected president.

    The Hildabeast’s view on the economy:

    “Many of you are well enough off that … the tax cuts may have helped you. We’re saying that for America to get back on track, we’re probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We’re going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good.” (Hillary Rodham Clinton – June 28, 2004, in San Francisco at a Democrat Party fundraiser)

    Didn’t Vladimir Lenin and Karl Marx have the same idea?

    Her take on the poor ‘misunderstood’ Islamofascists:

    “Well, I believe that terrorism is a tool that has been utilised throughout history to achieve certain objectives. Some have been ideological, others territorial…And I think we’ve got to do a much better job of clarifying what are the motivations, the raisons d’etre of terrorists… I think one of our mistakes has been painting with such a broad brush, which has not been particularly helpful in understanding what it is we were up against when it comes to those who pursue terrorism for whichever ends they’re seeking.” (Hillary Rodham Clinton — interview with The Guardian, published October 23, 2007)

    If the Hildabeast or Obama yer Mama gets elected, there will be no lubricant good enough for the screwing they will give this country.

    What does a concerned citizen do when the choices are so unappealing and who’s beliefs and convictions come no where near your your own?

    As a single female Republican, I hate being a scapegoat for the Democratic female (and male) sheeple who have their heads so far up their asses, it would take a lengthy surgical procedure to extract them.

    What do I want?

    Foreign policy: I want a strong, confident leader (gender notwitstanding) who will be tough on illegal immigration, build a border wall, stand up to the Euro effetes, tell the ACLU and terrorist fronts like CAIR to shove it, and put America first.

    I want a President who won’t pander to foreign countries for the sake of improving our “image”. I want a President who won’t be afraid to tell America (and the world) what they need to hear, not necessarily what they want to hear.

    I want a leader who will make it their mission to destroy any and all Islamofascist nation-states and their supporters.

    I want them to make it illegal for our corporations to do business with and prop up regimes of America’s enemies, like China.

    Domestic policies: Give incentives to American businesses to keep factories and jobs here so that they won’t feel compelled to outsource.

    Enforce policies on those who use welfare as a steady source of income, that will make them decide to use birth control, stay in school, become part of the work force, and wean themselves off the teat of public dole.

    Hold parents responsible for the criminal activities of their little gangsta children, to include fines and jail.

    Clean out death row by expediting the process. Use DNA to determine guilt or innocence. Expedite the release of the not guilty and the execution of the guilty. The prisons are bursting with violent offenders who committed brutal acts against society, and once they get to prison many of them pick up where they left off on the outside. Line ‘em up against a wall and mow them down. They’re animals. They were that way before they got there, and rehabilitation is out of the question. Our tax money is wasted keeping them housed, clothed, and fed for the rest of their miserable lives. Bullets are cheap.

    I want a President who has all the attributes lacking in the motely crew of 2008 candidates.

    Which means I hope the voting machine has a “write-in” candidate space.  If it does, I will enter Fred Thompson’s name. 

    It will be a futile gesture, but at least I can say I voted my conscience.

  • Benazir Bhutto Assassinated

    For her efforts to bring democracy to Pakistan, she was rewarded with murder. 

    Former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto Killed in Homicide Attack at Rally in Pakistan

    Thursday, December 27, 2007

    Pakistani opposition leader Benazir Bhutto was assassinated Thursday in a homicide attack that also killed at least 20 others at a campaign rally, a party aide and a military official said.’

    RAWALPINDI, Pakistan — Pakistani opposition leader Benazir Bhutto was assassinated Thursday in a homicide attack that also killed at least 20 others at a campaign rally.

    The former prime minister died in Rawalpindi General Hospital, where she had been rushed to surgery after she was wounded in the attack.

    There were reports that Bhutto had been shot in the neck as she was leaving the scene of the bombing.

    “At 6:16 p.m. she expired,” said Wasif Ali Khan, a member of Bhutto’s party who was at the hospital.

    Her supporters at the hospital began chanting “Dog, Musharraf, dog,” referring to Pakistan’s president, Pervez Musharraf.
    Some of them smashed the glass door at the main entrance of the emergency unit, others burst into tears. Top party leaders were outside the hospital, crying.

    An Associated Press reporter at the scene saw body parts and flesh scattered at the back gate of the Liaqat Bagh park in Rawalpindi, where the rally was held.
    He counted about 20 bodies, including police, and could see many other wounded.
    The road outside was stained with blood and people screamed for ambulances. Others gave water to the wounded lying in the street. The clothing of some of the victims was shredded and people put party flags over their bodies.

    The bomb went off just minutes after Bhutto spoke to thousands of supporters, and she appeared to be the target of the attack. Farahtullah Babar, the spokesman for her party, said her vehicle was about 50 yards away from blast, which went off as she was leaving the rally venue.

    Bhutto served twice as Pakistan’s prime minister between 1988 and 1996. She had returned to Pakistan from an eight-year exile on Oct. 18.

    Her homecoming parade in Karachi was also targeted by a suicide attacker, killing more than 140 people. On that occasion she narrowly escaped injury.

    This is terrible. She worked hard to reform a country full of misogynist, Islamofascist miscreants. Pakistan has formented terrorist scumbags and extremists for years. She knew her life was in constant danger, but returned to her home and courageously stood up to subhuman filth.

    To be sure, the Musharraf regime will blame the United States for brokering an agreement to let her back into Pakistan, and the moonbats on the Left will blame President Bush because everything is his fault, from their lousy childhoods to their miserable worthless adult lives.

    She severed ties with the Taliban and Al Qaeda, and they hated her for that. Musharraf on the other hand, has both groups running amok; terrorist camps operating within Pakistan’s borders and moles in his Intelligence Service, not to mention that BIN LADEN is still hiding there. He is no friend of the U.S.

    Bhutto was no angel, but she was willing to take them on and bring some much needed change. The last thing Pakistan needs is another reason for re-instatement of martial law or to disintegrate further into a cesspool of corruption and chaos.

    Musharraf is probably glad that someone finally got to her.  She was the biggest threat to the oppressive, corrupt regime.  No one has yet claimed responsibility for this atrocity, but Musharraf, the Taliban, and Al Qaeda head up the list.

    The “peaceful practitioners of Islam” tried unsuccessfully to assassinate her numerous times before, once even using a baby:

    A man had gotten close to her armored truck, the former prime minister said, and had been trying to hand across a small child as her motorcade inched through the thronged streets of Karachi. She remembers gesturing for the man to come closer.

    “It was about one or two years old, and I think it was a girl,” Mrs. Bhutto recalled. “We feel it was a baby, kidnapped, and its clothes were rigged with explosives. He kept trying to hand it to people to hand to me. I’m a mother, I love babies, but the [street lights] had already gone out, and I was worried about the baby getting dropped or hurt.” She would have been dead, she said, if she had not just dipped back inside her vehicle to loosen the shoes on her swollen feet.

    “The baby, the bomb, it went off only feet from me; there was nothing between us but the wall of the truck,” she said in an interview with The Washington Times on Tuesday. “We were rocking from side to side, this huge truck. We saw the bodies, the blood everywhere; we saw the carnage. Some bodies were naked, with their clothes burned off,” she said, shutting her Kohl-rimmed eyes against the vision.

    More than 170 supporters were killed in coordinated blasts along the route, a horror that was carried on live television and has shaped the already tumultuous campaign season here.

    And on one occasion, a 15 year old:

    POLICE in Pakistan have stopped a 15-year-old boy they say was carrying a bomb made of dynamite and nails from getting into a rally by opposition leader Benazir Bhutto.

    The boy got past the first of four security checkpoints set up outside the rally in the northwestern city of Peshawar but was caught at the second, said police officer Rahim Shah, according to the Associated Press.

    In October, suicide bombers struck a parade celebrating Ms Bhutto’s return from exile, killing more than 140 people in the southern city of Karachi.

    Christopher Hitchens gives a balanced–good and bad–viewpoint of the life and politics of Benazir Bhutto:

    Benazir saw one of her brothers, Shahnawaz, die in mysterious circumstances in the south of France in 1985, and the other, Mir Murtaza, shot down outside the family home in Karachi by uniformed police in 1996. It was at that famous address—70 Clifton Road—that I went to meet her in November 1988, on the last night of the election campaign, and I found out firsthand how brave she was. Taking the wheel of a jeep and scorning all bodyguards, she set off with me on a hair-raising tour of the Karachi slums. Every now and then, she would get out, climb on the roof of the jeep with a bullhorn, and harangue the mob that pressed in close enough to turn the vehicle over. On the following day, her Pakistan Peoples Party won in a landslide, making her, at the age of 35, the first woman to be elected the leader of a Muslim country.

    Her tenure ended—as did her subsequent “comeback” tenure—in a sorry welter of corruption charges and political intrigue, and in a gilded exile in Dubai. But clearly she understood that exile would be its own form of political death. (She speaks well on this point in an excellent recent profile by Amy Wilentz in More magazine.) Like two other leading Asian politicians, Benigno Aquino of the Philippines and Kim Dae-jung of South Korea, she seems to have decided that it was essential to run the risk of returning home. And now she has gone, as she must have known she might, the way of Aquino.

    Who knows who did this deed? It is grotesque, of course, that the murder should have occurred in Rawalpindi, the garrison town of the Pakistani military elite and the site of Flashman’s Hotel. It is as if she had been slain on a visit to West Point or Quantico. But it’s hard to construct any cui bono analysis on which Gen. Pervez Musharraf is the beneficiary of her death. The likeliest culprit is the al-Qaida/Taliban axis, perhaps with some assistance from its many covert and not-so-covert sympathizers in the Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence. These were the people at whom she had been pointing the finger since the huge bomb that devastated her welcome-home motorcade on Oct. 18.

    She would have been in a good position to know about this connection, because when she was prime minister, she pursued a very active pro-Taliban policy, designed to extend and entrench Pakistani control over Afghanistan and to give Pakistan strategic depth in its long confrontation with India over Kashmir.

    ……There is at least some reason to think that she had truly changed her mind, at least on the Taliban and al-Qaida, and was willing to help lead a battle against them. She had, according to some reports, severed the connection with her rather questionable husband. She was attempting to make the connection between lack of democracy in Pakistan and the rise of mullah-manipulated fanaticism. Of those preparing to contest the highly dubious upcoming elections, she was the only candidate with anything approaching a mass appeal to set against the siren calls of the fundamentalists.

    Expect a lot of rioting and more bombs. It won’t stop until all the muslim extremist pigs are dead, which means it won’t be any time soon.

    Jonn added 12/28/2007: CNN writes that Pakistan’s Interior Ministry is reporting that Bhutto was not killed by bullets, but by bashing her head on a handle inside the car.

  • It’s only a ‘hate crime’ if the victim is black

    If the perps had been white and the recipient of the vicious beating had been black, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson would have been all over this like stench on excrement:

    As Sarah Kreager, 26, tried to sit down on a Baltimore City bus Tuesday, police say, a middle-schooler told her she couldn’t. When she attempted to take another seat, a middle-schooler wouldn’t let her. Finally, according to police, Kreager just sat down.

    She was “immediately attacked” by nine students — three females and six males — from Robert Poole Middle School. They punched and kicked her at 2:59 p.m. at the intersection of 33rd Street and Chestnut Avenue, according to Maryland Transit Administration police.

    Kreager was dragged off the bus and her boyfriend, Troy Ennis, attempted to get her back on, police said.

    She sustained “serious injuries” and had to be transported to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center, according to a police report.

    Kreager suffered two broken bones in her left eye socket, police said.

    “She had eye muscles that were damaged,” a police report states. “She had deep lacerations on the top of her head and another above her neck.”

    Two seats and the bus’ rear glass were destroyed during the attack, police said.

    The bus driver on the No. 27 line quickly called police, who responded and arrested the nine juveniles, said Jawauna Greene, an MTA police spokeswoman.

    All nine suspects, ages 14 and 15, were arrested and charged with aggravated assault.

    Their bus tickets — provided by the school — have been revoked, Greene said.

    “Riding the bus is a privilege,” she said. “Public safety is our primary concern.”

    Greene said the investigation into the incident was ongoing and she didn’t know whether the attack had anything to do with the victim’s race.

    The suspects in the incident are black. The victim is white, according to the police report.

    http://www.examiner.com/a-1089067~Students_beat_woman_on_city_bus__police_say.html

    “…didn’t know whether the attack had anything to do with the victim’s race”????

    Three guesses, and the first two don’t count.

    Funny, how the race-baiting cockroaches come crawling out from under their rocks when they get a whiff of a “racially motivated crime” against a black victim.

    Justin Barker and Sarah Kreager are the latest in selective outrage by the black militant community.

    The first thing that comes to mind when I read about youth gangs and thugs like the ones mentioned in the report is: “Where in the hell are the parents?”

    Well….meet the “parents”:

    ……But the mother of one of the suspects says the victim, for an unknown reason, provoked the attack by spitting in the face of one of the girls. Beverly Bell, whose son is an eighth-grader at Robert Poole, said the victim’s boyfriend then pulled out a knife and threatened the girls, which prompted the boys to attack the man.

    Interviewed after yesterday’s court hearing, Bell said her son had never been in trouble before. Testimony in juvenile court revealed that five of the six boys arrested had no juvenile records.

    “We don’t know why that woman did what she did,” said Bell, referring to the alleged spitting incident. “But I can’t see these kids jumping on anyone for no reason.”

    Another parent said it was Kreager who did not want any students sitting next to her initially, prompting an argument.

    ……The bus dispute is the most recent in a series of local fights involving teenagers.

    Late last month, a brawl in Edgewood left a man paralyzed after he was assaulted with a baseball bat and kicked by at least six juveniles, according to Harford County sheriff’s deputies.

    Link: http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/local/baltimore_city/bal-md.ci.beating06dec06,0,5412204.story

    It didn’t take long for the “my kid wouldn’t do such a thing” excuse. Too often, the parents are just as criminally inclined as their kids.

    Bell makes the ludicrous statement: “I can’t see these kids jumping on anyone for no reason.”

    Really? The thought of one person picking an unprovoked fight with nine middle school-aged punks on a bus, stretches the limits of credibility to the point of absurdity.

    If there’s any justice in Baltimore, these punks will get put away for awhile, and their “parents” will be held financially liable for the medical bills and destruction of public property, as well as taken to task for not controlling their brats.
