Religion of Peace Demonstrates Tolerance





















I just had to share these photos from a recent "peaceful" rally in London. I'm glad to see how open our enemy is to peaceful dialogue. It's so encouraging to know we can be reasonable.

Liberals Have Their Heads in the Sand

Sometimes, it's easier to take criticism from your own people. So, for the benefit of liberals who read this blog, feel free to peruse this piece by Sam Harris in today's Los Angeles Times in which he emphatically states:

  • "At its most extreme, liberal denial has found expression in a growing subculture of conspiracy theorists who believe that the atrocities of 9/11 were orchestrated by our own government. A nationwide poll conducted by the Scripps Survey Research Center at Ohio University found that more than a third of Americans suspect that the federal government "assisted in the 9/11 terrorist attacks or took no action to stop them so the United States could go to war in the Middle East;" 16% believe that the twin towers collapsed not because fully-fueled passenger jets smashed into them but because agents of the Bush administration had secretly rigged them to explode.

    Such an astonishing eruption of masochistic unreason could well mark the decline of liberalism, if not the decline of Western civilization. There are books, films and conferences organized around this phantasmagoria, and they offer an unusually clear view of the debilitating dogma that lurks at the heart of liberalism: Western power is utterly malevolent, while the powerless people of the Earth can be counted on to embrace reason and tolerance, if only given sufficient economic opportunities.

    I don't know how many more engineers and architects need to blow themselves up, fly planes into buildings or saw the heads off of journalists before this fantasy will dissipate. The truth is that there is every reason to believe that a terrifying number of the world's Muslims now view all political and moral questions in terms of their affiliation with Islam. This leads them to rally to the cause of other Muslims no matter how sociopathic their behavior. This benighted religious solidarity may be the greatest problem facing civilization and yet it is regularly misconstrued, ignored or obfuscated by liberals."
He states the need for a united effort to fight terrorism (but from a liberal viewpoint) and that liberals cannot be trusted on national security or for fighting an enemy which hell-bent on our utter destruction. Check back here after you have read the piece in toto. You may even enjoy his decidedly anti-Bush stance (nobody's perfect).

It's 9/11 and We Remember You

As we mark the 5th year since 9/11, my hope is, that at least for today, we're all Americans. God bless the families of all who have paid the ultimate sacrifice so that we might enjoy the liberty and freedom we have. And God bless you brave soldiers who still fight for us; we thank you. "Git 'er done."

War on Terrorism

It's been a good week for America. We rounded up another important dirtbag in Iraq, heard about successes in our inteligence-gathering efforts, and we'll get to hear from Rush Limbaugh on "Catie's News" tonight. I even had the opportunity to share that optimism with a national audience yesterday on Brian and the Judge. All in all, a good week.

Yet, here come the Windbags of War again. Harry Reid (thanfully, no relation to Nick Reid) called for the resignation of Donald Rumsfeld again. Not unlike the Democrats of 1864 calling for the resignation of Ulysses S Grant ("too many wasted lives for no victory" or some similar mantra was used then too).

When will we realize that Democrats cannot be trusted on national or international security issues? They're NEVER right! Does anyone remember the stories from Afghanistan that called it a "quagmire" less than 7 days from victory. "No one can conquer that rugged country, the USSR tried and failed, how can we expect to win?" was a common consensus of the liberals. Now, they're telling us that Iraq is "un-winnable" That tells me that we're winning big, Mr. Murtha!

Look at some of the real-world results:
  • We're killing a whole lot more terrorists than the terrorists are killing of us.
  • The terrorists haven't been able to continue their plan to kill women and children in the US or to blow up portions of major cities here.
  • Libya surrendered without a shot being fired and gave up their nuclear weapons program. That is no small victory in the war on terror!
  • The terrorists have had to continue to resupply a failing Iraqi effort instead of coming here despite Democrat efforts to make it easier for them to get in and plan those efforts without covert intervention by our intelligence agencies.
Sure, there have been other attempts at terrorism in other parts of the world. Has anyone noticed that (thanks to our new focus on intelligence gathering which all liberals oppose) we've been able to thwart many of those efforts before they got off the ground? Did anyone notice that Iraq has now held three (3) successful national elections? Did anyone hear that Iraq is taking charge of its own military as of this week which will precede our ultimate objective to pull out after total victory?

Those are difficult topics for liberals to handle. They much prefer the US to lose in war if there is any chance that a Republican can take credit for it. They want to distort the victory by claiming massive civilian casualties and torture of prisoners (by the way, the terrorists in Iraq are killing the civilians while we try to stop them, and I haven't seen our military sawing off any heads like the terrorists like to do to their prisoners). Liberals are only "Americans" if Democrats are in charge. If they're not running (actually "ruining") the country, they are completely opposed to it. Petty, but true.

You don't have to believe me, just listen to the constant calls for surrender, compromise, retreat, resignation, censure, and every other traitorous thing you can do in a time of war, streaming in from the left. Cindy Sheehan is a worthy spokesperson for that crazy, unamerican cause.
