A Wise Man Once Said

If it walks like a duck, looks like a duck and quacks like a duck... there's a pretty good chance it's a duck. This comes to mind as I read about Six Muslim Imams being detained on a flight outbound from Minnesota after passengers expressed concern over the Muslim men engaging in their ritual of evening prayers while on board the aircraft.

The men themselves were outraged, of course CAIR is outraged, and I wouldn't be surprised if we get Muslims burning airline executives in effigy, blah, blah, blah!

The real issue here is, was there an irrational fear of Muslims at work here? Answer... YES! Of course most normal Americans have some irrational fear of Muslims, why shouldn't they? Is it sad that these men can't pray on a plane before take off without being harassed? Of course! But it is not an outrage by any means. It is absolutely understandable given the acts perpetrated by fellow Muslims in our country and around the world that people would be afraid of ANYONE appearing to pray to Allah and dressed in Muslim clothing on board an airliner. I am sorry but what is that saying about the sins of the father? Same principle here, you (Muslims) are paying the price for the extremist idiots, period. Is it fair, probably not, is it right, nope. But it is justified and until there are prominent voices, loud voices, condemning radical Islam as apostate instead of rioting and destroying people's and property over a couple of questionable cartoons, the fear will remain and rightly so. It makes me feel safer to know that an Airline would take 6 men off a flight because they may or my not have been acting in a strange manner. It makes me feel safer still to know that they were Muslims and they WERE profiled as such in this case.

My advice to CAIR and organizations like it, or any Muslim who was offended by this, is to spend the energy you are wasting on being outraged about it on being outraged at your own brothers in faith who fuel this fear, who propagate the lies and hate that led to 9/11, who have no regard for human life or your peaceful way of life in the least. Then maybe we can talk!

Go Big, Go Long, or Go Home?

Well the mystery is finally over. We still have no specific plan apparently. Accept maybe, Be Vague, Be Sort of Vague, or Be Very Vague.

Frankly for all the hype I am not impressed. Murtha is an idiot, but at least he got a little specific...

Culture Of Corruption?

that is the phrase that won Democrats the election in 06. But one only need look at their first two moves in appointing leadership to see that this slogan was just so much whitewash to get them in a position to...

#1 Pull our troops out of Iraq
#2 Raise our taxes
#3 Impeach our President
#4 Legalize Gay Marriage
#5 Weaken Our Borders

Not to mention that we now have two corrupt Congressmen tapped to lead in Jan. 07 in Murtha and Hastings

Kucinich Calls for Cutting Off Iraq War Funds

"That’s the only way we’re going to end this war."

Nov 15, 2006

Congressman Kucinich called Wednesday for cutting off funding of the Iraq war, as the surest way out of Iraq. His statements were made in an interview by Democracy Now!'s Amy Goodman.

"I want to say that there's one solution here, and it's not to engage in a debate with the President, who has taken us down a path of disaster in Iraq, but it's for Congress to assume the full power that it has under the Constitution to cut off funds. We don't need to keep indulging in this debate about what to do, because as long as we keep temporizing, the situation gets worse in Iraq.

Can there now be any doubt?

read this today from the UK Telegraph. Unholy alliance indeed!

Iran grooming next Al Quaeda leader!

Democrats Winning Was A Good Thing Right??

The terrorists thought so! Just ask them.

From Breitbart:

Al-Qaida in Iraq claimed in a new audio tape Friday to be winning the war faster than expected in Iraq and said it had mobilized 12,000 fighters who had "vowed to die for God's sake."

On the audio tape made available on militant Web sites, the al-Qaida in Iraq leader also welcomed the Republican electoral defeat that led to the departure of Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld. He added that the group's fighters would not rest until they had blown up the White House. -------

When your enemies are happy about something you've done. You done screwed up America!

BTW - some guy named "Anonymous" just commented:

"Last I heard terrorists didn't like genital warts.If I also don't like genital warts, does that make me a terrorist? "

The answer is firstly that I think Ted Kennedy does like genital warts, but even so... The fact that they think its a good thing, that America is now on the "right path", should scare the crap out of anyone who was alive on 9/11. Does this story mean democrats are terrorists? No. But it does mean terrorists prefer democrats to republicans. Why? I'll give you one guess

The only thing that could be better would be if Zawahiri or Bin Laden were to come out now and congratulate Nancy while offering a hand of peace to America. That would be awesome! This alone should be a wake up call to the dems. Even if they don't believe they are weak on terror, guess what, everyone else does!! Including the terrorists =o)

Hell Week

Well, its starting to sink in, and I think I am even sort of glad it happened. What with the bang up job our congress did last term. I mean how much damage can Pelosi and friends do in 2 years? They wouldn't really try to impeach the president would they? Or, I am sure they wouldn't try to get us out of Iraq without finishing the work there would they? Wait, maybe I should re-think that... well, at any rate at least we are rid of Licoln Chaffe right?

I have compiled some "two days after" blogging for you to kind of get in the proper mood.

I Hate to Say I Told You So...

2006 Mid-Term Election Results

But I told you so! All Partisan quipping aside, we got our arses handed to us last night and we deserved to lose every one of those seats. Over the next two weeks you will hear a lot of people try to spin this loss to fit their own ideas but the bottom line is the American people sent Republicans to Washington to fight for their values and they just didn't. From same sex marriage, to immigration, to ethics reform and spending, earmarks, abortion, on all of the big issues conservatives care about, both the house and the senate fell well short on all counts. As I heard Ann Coulter say over and over again, they (republican congress) had the upper hand, they had the majority, and they were afraid to use it. Why? Likely for fear of not being re-elected...uh, yep... that worked out well huh? To be frank we had a bunch of luke warm conservatives in Washington this past term and the voters effectively spit them out. As God's word says, "I would rather you be hot or cold, but as it is you are luke warm and I am going to spit you out of my mouth." Or as another good old saying goes, "You can'ts pleases all da' peoples alla da' time, but you better please your base dummy". Or yet another saying that seems poinient today, "You can't serve two masters". Unfortunately, our republican majority tried to do just that.

You will hear Democrats screaming about this election being a referendum on Iraq. Well, it was, but that is not the story. The story is that by the republican congresses failure to accomplish anything of note, or give their base a rallying cry by at least clinging to the value that put them in office to begin with, "we" made Iraq the story of this election. We handed it to them on a silver platter. We had nothing to point to and say, "this is why you should put us back in office again". This was a sad election not only because we (republicans) have had to face some hard facts, but also because it was not about the issues. The democrats mantra was "a vote for change", and ours was, "ya' were lame, but at least were not Nancy Pelosi". What kind of platforms are those??

The news is not all bad, for those faithful of us in the conservative movement can take from this a referendum on our core values. That putting people in office just to have a butt in the chair with an R next to it, we will not except any longer. But as I heard Laura Ingraham say this morning, (I'm paraphrasing) we need strong, true, action oriented conservatives in office that would as soon lose as compromise their values to keep a seat. So, pick yourself up, dust yourself off and move forward from here. Oh and do say a little prayer for our country while your at it, last night when I heard Nancy Pelosi's speech I half expected the frame to freeze and Rod Serling to come walking out with a cigarette and tell me I was in the Twilight Zone... dumdumdumdumdumdumdumdum Bah NAH NAAAAAAA, Babababababum.

Happy Election Day!

I want to remind everyone one more time, get out and vote. This is not a vote for republicans, its a vote to keep democrats from gaining the majority. We can fix our party on the back end but it is imperative that Liberals do not control the house and senate for the next two years. Fox News has good election coverage and a break down by your state.

As things stand now we are...

Absolute Moral Authority-athon...From Hot Air

Dems Prepare For Congressional Losses By...

Pre-Assuming Voter Fraud and Ballot indiscretions. Nancy Pelosi, the congresswoman the dems would likely nominate if they win for speaker of the house had this to say when asked about having an honest election:

"That is the only variable in this," Pelosi said. "Will we have an honest count?''

She is not alone this November as liveral organizations all over the country will have their members out in force to do everything from monitoring long lines, to making sure votes are counted properly.

Pelosi's comments are striking and again emphasize the Democrats belief that Republicans can't win without cheating. One has to wonder if Pelosi and her ilk would finally acknowledge conservative values rule in America if after this "concern" for a fair election, they still lost. Or at least did not pick up nearly enough seats in either house to justify their "referendum" on Bush and the Iraq War one liners of late. Ann Coulter said it well Here.

John Kerry: Bad Comedian...

Worse Politician. I won't rehash most of the things on every GOP favoring blog in the known universe about John Kerry's remarks. I will however take the time as anyone who enjoys seeing an idiot like Kerry get his should, to say "DOH!" What were you thinking John? 7 days before an election? This gives new meaning to the phrase "screwed the pooch". I mean I can see messing up a word or two here or there but good golly miss molly, he didn't even come close!

What Kerry said: "You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq."

What Kerry was supposed to say:"Do you know where you end up if you don't study, if you aren't smart, if you're intellectually lazy? You end up getting us stuck in a war in Iraq. Just ask President Bush."

I mean good gravy people, that kind of monologue screw up would make even Dave Letterman cringe. That is assuming it was a screw up and not a Freudian slip of some kind revealing what the senator really believes he was making a joke in the first place.

Kerry Non-Apology direct to troops just as bad as original "joke"
Boy he just keeps shovelin' and the whole just keeps getin' deeper.

"I sincerely regret that my words were misinterpreted to wrongly imply anything negative about those in uniform and I personally apologize to any service member, family member or American who was offended."

His words were not mis-interpreted in the least. He may have said the wrong words but the ones we all heard him say require very little interpretation.
