Hezbollah Are Cowards!

(Notice the "civilians" On the canon about to
fire into an Israeli city, I count 5 of 7 with no
discernable uniform and at least 3 without even
so much as camoflauge.)

As this article shows and as I and many others have said over and over. Again lets remind ourselves this is not an army, nor is it a country. They fight like cowards and run when confronted by a superior force. The news media has been dominated by reports of Lebanese civilians being murdered by Israel's air attacks, but honestly how would they know? The men fighting in these neighborhoods disguise themselves like your uncle Abdul from down the road, hurry into your back yard, fire a rocket, then hurry out again. Not only is that cowardly, but it is also pure evil because they know Israel will immediately target the homes where the rockets came from. They deliberately use residential neighborhoods in densely populated areas to fire their rockets so that when Israel retaliates, it is then accused of killing innocents and the Hezbollah fighter(s) are usually long gone by then. This is a force that would see its own people, women and children murdred before their eyes to save their own skins and further their twisted cause. Please take a moment to read the article and look at the photos, this is what you won't see on a lot of on the major networks, but what anyone who has an opinion on this conflict needs to know.

Photos Damm Hezbollah

I posted this photo in an Earlier Post but I felt it should be in this one as well to further illustrate the way Hezbollah does business.

Harry Potter's image is blown for me

forever I think after reading the below article.













'Harry Potter' actor to be naked on stage

The article says that Daniel Radcliffe who plays Harry in the movie versions of the popular book series will star as a troubled stableboy in Peter Shaffer's "Equus." Equus is the story of a disturbed boy (Alan Strang) who gouges out the eyes of 6 horses with a metal spike.

This is where it really gets scary... "In one scene the actor playing Strang is required to simulate sexual ecstasy while riding a horse naked. But the nudity was not the focus of the play." Says Vanessa Davies who is Radcliffe's spokeswoman.

Boy, I don't know about you but I will never be able to look at Harry the same way again. Bad career move too if you ask me. Can't be a great boost to your carreer to be found on stage masterbating atop of a horse. The Harry Potter stories do take a decidedly darker turn from here on out as well and no doubt the movies will reflect the serious turns in the novels. The story and its main charachter Harry are apparently not the only ones to have lost their innocense.

Harry Potter and The Blinder of Horses

I get that the kid wants to branch out but the potter movies have endeared him to millions of children. To them he is Harry Potter. Not that a lot of 9-11 yr olds are going to run out and see Equus (as if there parents would let them), but a lot of them will hear of this. Just so there is no mistake, that does matter. It matters for kids to have sports heros that are not being arrested in connection with gang shootings or be able to admire music artists that have not been in State prison for drug dealing and again yes it does matter for my 11 year old daughter not to have to find out that her heart throb Harry Potter will be riding a horse bareback on a stage somewhere faking an orgasm or trying to explain a bilboard like that to little Billy who just read "Sorcerers Stone". (Daddy what's an orgasm?) Oivay!

A Picture Is Worth 1000 Words

This really just about says it all. The reason why there can be no moral equivalent drawn between US and Al Quaeda, between Israel and Hezbullah, between Good and Evil, between God and Godlessness. Take a good hard look and the next time you are at a party and one of your really liberal friends chides the brutality of the Olmert Regime, consider who you will stand with based on the above picture and make sure they do the same!

Howard Dean is...

like Christmas, Easter, Birthday and Thanksgiving all wrapped up in one everythime he opens his mouth... That is if you are a Republican. If you are a Democrat you have to be just scratching your head when he says things like this :

"The Iraqi prime minister is an anti-Semite," the Democratic leader told a gathering of business leaders in Florida. "We don't need to spend $200 and $300 and $500 billion bringing democracy to Iraq to turn it over to people who believe that Israel doesn't have a right to defend itself and who refuse to condemn Hezbollah"

and then turns arounds and says this:

"Thank God for Bill Nelson, because we'd have another crook in the United States Senate if it weren't for him. He is going to beat the pants off Katherine Harris," Dean said during his 20-minute address. "She doesn't understand that it's…improper to be chairman of a campaign and count the votes at the same time. This is not Russia and she is not Stalin."

and then yet again turns around and says a little something like this:

Dean called President Bush "the most divisive president probably in our history."

"He's always talking about those people. It's always somebody else's fault. It's the gays' fault. It's the immigrants' fault. It's the liberals' fault. It's the Democrats' fault. It's Hollywood people," Dean said. "Americans are sick of that. Even if you win elections doing that, you drag down our country."

It really must burn those of you who actually mean well and really think you have a shot at a democractic congress or president in 08 to know that your primary spokesman is a buffoon. I mean this must be just like shooting fish in a barrell for the RNC. Dean sets em' up, and they knock em' out!!

But don't feel so bad, if Dean screws things up like he did yesterday you've always got spin-masters like Rangel, Pelosi, Schumer, Biden, and Kennedy to make up the ground... Oh, right, that's just as bad...Sorry. Well, there's always 2010 or 2012 right? "RIGHT"

Pentuple Child Murderer Not Responsilbe Says Jury

A Jury today found Child Murderer Andrea Yates not guilty by reason of insanity
Yates drowned her 5 children one day when she thought Satan was inside her and was trying to save them from hell.

I thought it needed, to review what this woman did, how systematicaly she took these children's lives. Here are some links to the original murder story. Please take the time to read it

Profile of Andrea Yates

How she murdered her children

Another Profile

Everytime I read that story I want to cry, and when I read that she will have the opportunity to be evaluated by doctors every few years and have the chance of being released if they deem her fit, I wanted to be sick all over my keyboard. It is time like these that test my faith, knowing that a woman like this might one day walk the street again or even breed again God forbid. But I do trust that God knows her better than I and is infinitely more capable of determining whether and when she deserves judgement for her actions. So I will leave it in His hands.

Weird Website Wednesday

Today's entry is, well... Kinda disgusting if you ask me. It is an entire site dedicated to facial hair in its various forms. There is even a world beard champion . Enjoy!

Well we can all agree on one point...

The UN is a an ineffective straw man that makes a lot of noise and does a lot of nothing about it. Its like one of those little yip, yip dogs that chases you around and barks at your ankles. It never bites cuz it really hasn't the teeth, it cowars at any aggressive movement and is always in constant danger of having the sh*t kicked out of it by, well, pretty much anyone.

Honestly, the idea that the UN can be a peace keeping force in Lebanon is like saying the little yip, yip dog could keep the peace in the middle of two Rotweilers. It would just be ugly (see above).

Even mortal enemies seem to get that, which says to me that we all might want to take a step back and shuffle Kofi off into the corner, out of the way where he can't break anything. Oh and while we are at it, lets also think about moving the last, best hope of the global community somewhere more global, preferably outside of the US.

Here is what Ahmadinejad said about the UN: Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, said UN inaction was not helping. "Upon hearing the slightest criticism against the Zionist regime, they issue dozens of resolutions. But now, 13 days after that regime's massive attack against Lebanon, using most fatal weapons, they even refrain from asking for a truce," he said.

VS.

What President Bush says about the UN: "The United Nations must be strong and efficient, free of corruption and accountable to the people it serves," he said. "The United Nations must stand for integrity and live by the high standards it sets for others."

Also this OpEd says it pretty well...

Regretably, there is no international body capable of quenching the violence in the middle-east, save NATO maybe. You see, to effect change for "the good" an entity like the UN must take a morally specific position toward something other than simply "the violence". They need to cease drawing moral equivelants between stone killers and nations that wish only to live in peace who defend their own borders. A body such as the UN cannot exist for all, because all are not good and all do not wish peace. The UN allows the largest human rights violaters in our world to sit on a council for the same name whose mission is to increase human rights. It condems Israel for protecting its citizens while almost simultaneously ignoring the violence in Darfur. It condems the United States for Abu Garab while it sits by and allows China to engage in the organ farming of executed prisinors unfettered and unchecked.

Uncle Tim's says "Gut the UN, clean it up and make it useful and a force for peace in the world again.

Either that or just kick it accross the room to get it of our leg.

Didn't this used to be Illegal?

Above: (Kurdish woman and her daughter gassed by Sadam)

NOBEL peace laureate Betty Williams showed her good sense, class and heart for peace on Tuesday by declaring to a room full of school children" Right now, I would love to kill George Bush." Yes, once again from the ideology that allowed Bin Laden to thrive in the 90's and said it was ok to kill millions of babies if they became inconvenient prior to birth in the 70's and 80's comes the "peace laureate" who threatens violence to an elected official of an allied country in front of grade school kids! She does admit in the article, "I don't know how I ever got a Nobel Peace Prize," well neither do we Betty, neither do we...

She goes on to say ,

"My job is to tell you their stories," Ms Williams said of a recent trip to Iraq.

"We went to a hospital where there were 200 children; they were beautiful, all of them, but they had cancers that the doctors couldn't even recognise. From the first Gulf War, the mothers' wombs were infected.

"As I was leaving the hospital, I said to the doctor, 'How many of these babies do you think are going to live?"

Someone should remind Betty that Sadam Hussein used Chemical Weapons during the first Gulf War and that is why these women have infected wombs and the children have cancers the doctors can't even recognize.

She goes on,

"He looked me straight in the eye and said, 'None, not one'. They needed five different kinds of medication to treat the cancers that the children had, and the embargoes laid on by the United States and the United Nations only allowed them three."

(I wonder how the good doctor knows he needs 5 medicines instead of three to treat the "cancer" he can't even recognize to begin with)

Oh, why yes of course, its our fault...AGAIN. It couldn't be that one of the most brutal regimes in world history deprived those hospitals of the money allocated for them by Oil for Food, or that the medications sent over were sold to the rich for profit by Sadam's son's Udead and Qusdead. No, it was America that did it. Dead children? (anywhere in the world?) BLAME AMERICA!! I am sure this woman thinks she means well, but to read her comments I am of the mind that they must have had a different definition of peace in 1976.

This is very cool!

Saw this over at Stark Truth. I have a few friends that were in the military and they would appreciate this I know. Enjoy!!

We know that the current state of affairs in our great nation has many civilians up in arms and excited to join the military. For those of you who can't join, you can still lend a hand. Here are a few of the areas where we would like your assistance:

1.The next time you see an adult talking (or wearing a hat) during the playing of the National Anthem---kick their ass.

2.When you witness, first hand, someone burning the American Flag in protest---kick their ass.

3.Regardless of the rank they held while they served, pay the highest amount of respect to all veterans. If you see anyone doing otherwise, quietly pull them aside and explain how these veterans fought for the very freedom they bask in every second. Enlighten them on the many sacrifices these veterans made to make this Nation great. Then hold them down while a disabled veteran kicks their ass.

4.(GUYS) If you were never in the military, DO NOT pretend that you were. Wearing battle dress uniforms (BDUs) or Jungle Fatigues, telling others that you used to be "Special Forces," and collecting GI Joe memorabilia, might have been okay when you were seven years old. Now, it will only make you look stupid and get your ass kicked.

5.Next time you come across an Air Force member, do not ask them, "Do you fly a jet?" Not everyone in the Air Force is a pilot. Such ignorance deserves an ass-kicking (children are exempt).

6.If you witness someone calling the US Coast Guard 'non-military', inform them of their mistake---and kick their ass.

7.Next time Old Glory (the US flag) prances by during a parade, get on your damn feet and pay homage to her by placing your hand over your heart. Quietly thank the military member or veteran lucky enough to be carrying her---of course, failure to do either of those could earn you a severe ass-kicking.

8.Don't try to discuss politics with a military member or a veteran. We are Americans, and we all bleed the same, regardless of our party affiliation. Our Chain of Command is to include our Commander-In-Chief (CinC). The President (for those who didn't know) is our CinC regardless of political party. We have no inside track on what happens inside those big important buildings where all those representatives meet. All we know is that when those civilian representatives screw up the situation, they call upon the military to go straighten it out. If you keep asking us the same stupid questions repeatedly, you will get your ass kicked!

9.'Your mama wears combat boots' never made sense to me---stop saying it! If she did, she would most likely be a vet and therefore, could kick your ass!

10.Bin Laden and the Taliban are not Communists, so stop saying 'Let's go kill those Commies!' And stop asking us where he is! Crystal balls are not standard issue in the military. That reminds me---if you see anyone calling those damn psychic phone numbers, let me know, so I can go kick their ass!

11.'Flyboy' (Air Force), 'Jarhead' (Marines), 'Grunt' (Army), 'Squid' (Navy),'Puddle Jumpers' (Coast Guard), etc., are terms of endearment we use describing each other. Unless you are a service member or vet, you have not earned the right to use them. That could get your ass kicked.

12.Last, but not least, whether or not you become a member of the military, support our troops and their families. Every Thanksgiving and religious holiday that you enjoy with family and friends, please remember that there are literally thousands of soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen far from home wishing they could be with their families. Thank God for our military and the sacrifices they make every day. Without them, our country would get its ass kicked."

"It is the Veteran, not the reporter who has given us the freedom of the press.

"It is the Veteran, not the poet, who has given us the freedom of speech.

"It is the Veteran, not the campus organizer, who gives us the freedom to demonstrate.

"It is the Military who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag."

(Please pass this on so I won't have to kick your ass!) :-)


If you can read this, thank a teacher! If you are reading it in English, thank a Veteran!

I will add one more:

13.If you ever see anyone either standing for or singing THE NATIONAL ANTHEM in Spanish - KICK THEIR ASS!

A Theocracy by any other name...

...is still a theocracy. Wonder what kind of beating Bush and Condi's gonna give Maliki for goin' all true colors during the such a volatile time in the mid-east? You gotta know they were all listening to his comments going DOH! DOH! and DOH! For all of our hopes that Iraq would be a secular democracy at least to a certain extent this does not look good. Maliki's comments are below:
“I condemn these aggressions and call on the Arab League foreign ministers’ meeting in Cairo to take quick action to stop these aggressions. We call on the world to take quick stands to stop the Israeli aggression.”

But it was more what he did not say that was so very telling. Namely, he did not condem Hezbullah or their actions and did not even acknowledge that this conflict in its current form is Hezbullah's fault. He did not come right out and say "Death to Israel" or "Long Live Osama",
but his Shia background showed through for all to see in this article

Democrats on the Right side?? Say it aint so. Call it Political Gamesmanship if you will, but Maliki should appologize for his comments and he should not be allowed to address our congress until he does.

I wonder if our administration would force him out? Like how outrageous would he have to get before we gave him a good smack?

Immigration: Why do we even have laws??

It amazed me to see this story. It is about a woman who filed for a restraining order on her husband because he threatened to get her deported. The judge who heard her case rightly asked her, "Are you here illegally?" To which the woman replied yes... This prompted the judge to dismiss the case and tell the woman to get out of his court room before he had her arrested and deported. Anyhow, there was so much left wing and latino outrage over his actions that he is no longer a judge pro-tem for L.A. County, they've dismissed him. The amazing part is that the article mentions nothing about the fact that the woman is committing a crime and that the judge was right to do and say what he did( accept maybe for the fact that he should not have let her go). They only say that she was later granted the restraining order by another judge. I have said it before, but "through the looking glass" is appropriate once again to describe the way our society just stares white straight in the face and calls it black and vise versa. Another point of note, this was no right wing judge, he even admits to hating our immigration laws in this country. He did not even do the right thing, he just spoke the right thing and got canned for it. That is what we get for electing a guy like Antonio Villaragosa Mayor of LA. A citizenry that gets angry with a judge for upholding our laws. This strikes right at the heart of the immigration issue in this country. There will never be border security if we allow a society where an innocent judge gets dismissed for pointing out the stupidity of a woman coming into a Superior court for a restraining order when she is not even legally allowed to implore the court to help her much less be in the country at all. All the judge was saying in a nutshell is "Look, are you frackin' stupid woman? I could deport you just for standing there, get out of my courtroom!"

Every single version of this story I could find this morning completely ignores that.

Well, Its been a while but...

I think I have sufficiently recovered enough to start posting about soccer again. Specifically the Zidane incident. Personally I hate the French and the Italian football teams anyway, but I was really pissed off at the fact that Zidane did what he did, made everyone wait 5 days and then did not even say what exactly the provocation was for him to head butt Matterazi. So in a tribute to the follishness of it all I decided to link to this post from Something Awful that tells the real story of the Zidane Incident in its various forms...You decide!

Just in case any of you are getting skittish

I thought I would remind you who's ass it is Israel is kicking right now. Your Uncle Tim has in his hot little hands the "Al-Qaeda Targeting Guidance - v1.0" document. I already hear you lefties now screaming that Hezbollah or Hisbowlof (soup), or whatever the hell they call themselves, is not the same organization as Al Qaeda but you are wrong. Their stated purpose is exactly the same, to "kill jews and christians where ever they find them". So I am sure you are all chomping at the bit to know what this document says then eh? Well here goes...

"Targets Inside Cities" - Kind of reminds one of the current conflict huh?

"Targets inside cities are considered a sort of military diplomacy. Normally this kind of diplomacy is written with blood and decorated with body parts and the smell of guns"

"Faith Targets"

"Missionaries in Islamic countries, where they try to convert Muslims to Christians such as what happened in Yemen and as what is going on in Iraq as well as what was going on in the land of the two holy mosques (Saudi Arabia) where they were distributing bibles to homes. In this case hunting those people is good and we know who they are."

"Reverends, Priests, Rabbis and any religious personality that attack Islam or Muslims such as an American reverend that cursed the prophet, we hope to God that we will get his neck."

"Human Targets"

We have to target Jews and Christians. We have to let anybody that fights God, his prophets or the believers know that we will be killing them. There should be no limits or geographical borders."

"Advantages of Operations Against Cities"

"To show the meaning of, There is no God but Allah and Mohammed is his messanger. And to achieve the belief in one God."

Gosh, I don't know about you, but that makes it sound a lot like Islam dictates that we all be killed or converted to the glory of Allah, don't you think?

The full document can be found here. I suggest you read the whole thing. Especially those of you who want Israel to stop before the job is done in Lebanon

Hat Tip to Six Meat and to bogieworks for the original. This is so, so true. Please click on the link and read the entire story

Here is just a taste...

When I was in the Navy, I once witnessed a bar fight in downtown Olongapo (Philippines) that still haunts my dreams. The fight was between a big oafish Marine and a rather soft-spoken, medium sized Latino sailor from my ship.

All evening the Marine had been trying to pick a fight with one of us and had finally set his sights on this diminutive shipmate of mine... figuring him for a safe target. When my friend refused to be goaded into a fight the Marine sucker punched him from behind on the side of the head so hard that blood instantly started to pour from this poor man's mutilated ear.

Everyone present was horrified and was prepared to absolutely murder this Marine, but my shipmate quickly turned on him and began to single-handedly back him towards a corner with a series of stinging jabs and upper cuts that gave more than a hint to a youth spent boxing in a small gym in the Bronx.
