When Someone Objects To "Islamofacist "

Posted by on Thursday, August 17, 2006 11:33:22 PM
Simply apologize and agree with them that "Islamofacist" is in fact the wrong word to use.  Tell them you meant to say IslamoNazi instead.   (h/t to maestro Charles Johnson at LittleGreenFootballs).

John McCain Revisited

Posted by on Tuesday, August 15, 2006 9:17:32 PM
No, not revisited as in: "i've seen the light and changed my mind."

Revisited as in: courtesy of From My Position..., here is a rather less genteel version of position regarding John McCain as president.

Denial

Posted by on Tuesday, August 15, 2006 9:10:17 PM
I recently heard an account of a co-worker's "discussion" with someone who refused to call Hizballah a terrorist organization. 

I gave the co-worker a printout of this from FrontpageMag.com with the following paragraph circled.

Never before or since in world history has a tyrannical regime sought to murder all of the members of a particular racial, religious, ethnic or cultural group, regardless of where they live--not until now. Hezbollah's aim is not to "end the occupation of Palestine," or even to "liberate all of Palestine." Its goal is to kill the world's Jews. Listen to the words of its leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah: "If Jews all gather in Israel, it will save us the trouble of going after them worldwide." (NY Times, May 23, 2004, p. 15, section 2, column 1.) Nasrallah is one of the most admired men in the Muslim and Arab world today. Hitler made similar threats in Mein Kampf but they were largely ignored. Nasrallah has a reputation for keeping his promises.

Infuriating On Multiple Levels

Posted by on Monday, August 14, 2006 8:34:02 PM
Not to mention dismaying.  One of the things that scare me about the future is the islamification of Europe.  I've seen example after example of the religion of peace's takeover of  Europe.  Here's the latest example.

Take a look at this latest installment in Britain's self-imposed dhimmitude.  It is enraging in ways far beyond the obvious.

After you pick your jaw up from the floor and you close the flapping top of your head that blew open upon reading that parents in an allegedly western nation being told that their five year-old's passport in invalid because the little cutie's shoulders are bare, and that such salacious exposure could be deemed offensive in a muslim country, read the article again. 

First, the destination for the family's vacation that necessitated the child's passport renewal?    Not Qatar.  Not Egypt.  Not Saudi Arabia.  France.    

France! 

Second and perhaps I'm being unfair to the parents, but relying on the article, there seems to be no concern or even <GASP!>  anger at what amounts to sharia being imposed upon a British subject within the borders of the UK.   What annoyance they do express seems to stem from the inconvienience of having to scramble for a new photo rather than from having Islamic law imposed upon them.

Mrs Edwards, a Sheffield GP, said: "I was incensed. I went back home and checked the form. Nowhere did it say anything about covering up shoulders. If it had, I would have done so, but it all seems so unnecessary.  [emphasis mine]

One wonders how the west can ever hope to prevail.

Unbelievable!

Posted by on Tuesday, August 08, 2006 11:54:42 PM
This will be unpleasant for those with delicate constitutions, but please bear with me.   Here's a link to a NYT photo montage.  Open it in a new window and look at photo 6.  Notice the dead man's shorts and his hat tucked at his side. 

Then go to photo 3-upper right corner.  Go back to photo 6.  Repeat.  Yes my friends, it's truly a sick world upon which we tread.  Some fiend, some depraved miscreant stole that poor dead man's shorts and hat and is trying to sneak away!  Utter outrage!  Stop thief! 

Wait a sec.  On second glance that thief looks familiar.  On third and fourth glances once could be easily forgiven for thinking he looks rather like the dead man. 

You don't think....   It couldn't be....   It couldn't be a <gulp> zombie, could it?   Oh wait, I forgot, zombies are make-believe.  Like elves, pixies and left-wing anti-semitism. 

Whew!  Glad he's not a zombie.  But I'm still stumped as to what could possibly explain those two photos. 

I bet someone can explain it to me.

It's Not Just Doctoring

Posted by on Tuesday, August 08, 2006 9:18:01 PM
Thanks to LittleGreenFootballs, Reuter's has been caught running ham-handedly doctored photos of the conflict in Lebanon. 

There are other photos that upon inspection, seem worthy of suspicion.

Check this one courtesy of GatewayPundit.    I wasn't there and don't know what happened but the "dead man" seems awfully clean and unmarked to have been pulled from the rubble of a bombed out building.

Now check this PowerLineBlog analysis of Qasmiya Bridge near Tyre. 

My opinion:   Tip Of. The Iceberg.

John McCain

Posted by on Monday, August 07, 2006 8:48:01 PM
From RealClearPolitics  re: McCain/Feingold.

So, say the Senate takes up an immigration bill granting full amnesty to all illegal immigrants this fall -- it will be almost impossible for grassroots groups to advertise against it, because they won't be able to run ads during this period naming the people who are sponsoring or voting on the bills. Criticizing them by name during this window is against the law. You can't ask voters to "call Congressman [So-and-So]."

It's almost unbelievable, but it's the system we live under thanks to Sen. John McCain.

This is as concise an explanation I've seen of why it will be extremely difficult, and perhaps impossible for me to support John McCain for president. 

Sure, the democrat running against him would most likely be unappetizing or even dangerous and maybe when he's compared to a specific democrat, I'll feel differently.  But right now, McCain's seeming contempt for free speech troubles me every bit as much as the thought of President Clinton Part Deux.

Did Hillary Blink?

Posted by on Thursday, August 03, 2006 8:01:51 PM
From Captain's Quarters-high negatives and low-enthusiasm are rumored to be dampening hopes for Hilary in '08.

What Reid is offering Senator Hillary Clinton is his total, robust support to succeed him as Senate Majority Leader if she elects not to pursue the Democratic nomination for President.

Many are realizing that the electoral map is not something one can wave a magic wand over and reverse the views of 42% of Americans who believe that they know Hillary Clinton well and have strongly formed views of her and will not vote for her under any conditions -- according to recent polls. Reports are that Senator Clinton herself knows this and that her own enthusiasm for running actually trails that of her husband, her advisors, and her staff -- whose enthusiasm for the race is ranked in that order with Hillary the least enthusiastic.

I think the piece fails to address one more factor:  Don't think for an instant that the treatment (h/t Michelle Malkin) Joeseph Lieberman is getting from the lefty wackos isn't making an impression on Sen. Clinton.  Having supported the war and felt some heat from the nutters herself, she knows full well that if not for Lieberman's more explicit support for the President to draw their fire, she would be their target and not Lieberman.

A Non-Apologist

Posted by on Wednesday, August 02, 2006 9:25:38 PM
Unlike some other parents of men slain by the Jihadi death-fiends, Lisa Vincent knows who is the enemy and who are our friends. 

A special sentiment included with a special PizzaIDF.org order:
 
To honor and remember my beloved husband Steven Vincent, the freelance journalist kidnapped and murdered by Islamic fundamentalist thugs in Basra, Iraq on August 2, 2005, I send these pizzas as a tribute to your bravery, courage and dedication to the fight to rid the world of such monsters.

Steven adored pizza, and would have completely approved of the IDF response to Hezbollah's evil, so I thought this was the perfect tribute to both him and you. God bless you all, and may He keep you safe. Hope you enjoy the pizzas -

Sobering Insights Into Priorities and Focus

Posted by on Wednesday, August 02, 2006 9:01:01 PM
From Jim Geragty at NRO.

The conclusion:

At some point, some group - probably ethnic - that hides, sponsors, offers material support for, cheers on, or simply refuses to intervene against a terrorist group within its borders is going to pay the price when that terrorist group commits a devastating attack. It might be the Chechnyans. It might be the Kurds. It might be the Lebanese. I'm sure you can think of other potential cases.

At some point, a powerful nation is going to wipe out a smaller nation for not taking action to stop the terrorists in its midst — in a manner that will make the U.S. toppling of the Taliban look like a pillow fight. The result will be bloody and awful; but we will not be able to say we didn't see it coming.

In The Post-Clinton Era....

Posted by on Tuesday, August 01, 2006 8:55:08 PM
it's important to remember that when coming from the Left, from western Europe, or from jihadi death-worshipers (and no, the three distinctions are not yet redundant; they have not completed their merger but they're working on it), words do not always mean what they mean to those of us in the civilized world.

Regarding the current war against the death-cultists being fought by Israel, please remember that some words only apply to one side but not the other and that some words have different meanings depending on the side to which they are applied.

Luckily for us, Victor Davis Hansen has a primer for us at NRO that will hopefully be of some assistance.

Brother Alice

Posted by on Tuesday, August 01, 2006 8:34:19 PM
It may be childish, but I must admit:  I get a nice little kick from the thought of the hip folk gagging and "ewwwing" when they learn that shock rock legend Alice Cooper is a Christian.   Not only a Christian but he acutally runs a non-profit foundation.

Hee Hee.

A Gem From Dennis Prager

Posted by on Thursday, July 27, 2006 10:05:36 PM
AllThingsBeautiful referenced a real gem from Dennis Prager from late 2005.  Here's the column on WorldnetDaily.

If you want to understand the Left, most of what you need to know can be summarized thus: The Left hates inequality, not evil.

As one raised as a New York Jew – who, moreover, attended an Ivy League university and therefore liberal – it took me a while to recognize this fatal moral characteristic of the Left. But the moment I realized it, it became immoral not to oppose leftist values.

It is neither possible nor virtuous to be devoid of hatred. Even those who think it is always wrong to hate must hate hatred. The question therefore is not whether one hates, but what (or whom) one hates.

<SNIP>

As noted above, everyone hates someone, and that includes people on the Left. The problem is that because they don't hate evil, they hate those who oppose evil.   (emphasis mine)

Someday In The Future....

Posted by on Thursday, July 27, 2006 9:36:11 PM
This woman will ask herself "Why do they never visit?"  

Of course people can change, but I doubt that she'll ever figure it out.
