sanity

Heading for the subway this morning I spotted this bumper sticker from NewsBusters.org prominently placed on the back window! What a refreshing bit of sanity here in the seat of Obama County, Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

    I keep my stickers on magnetic vinyl for use on road trips only.

    I once forgot to take my “Extremely Rightwing” one off while stopping at a Wal Mart in WVA one night traveling through.

    Yep, got keyed by one of the People of Wal Mart.

    I grew up with a friend whose mother was very active in Right to Life and had a bumper sticker on her car that blazed ABORTION IS MURDER.

    The car was keyed so many times it began to look kinda like a racing stripe.

    A soldier who served in Afghanistan could be the first living recipient of the Medal of Honor since the Vietnam War.

    News outlets in and around Cedar Rapids, Iowa, have reported that Staff Sgt. Sal Giunta, who is from that area, is believed to be the soldier being considered for the nation’s highest valor award. Giunta is currently stationed in Vicenza, Italy.

    The recommendation has been sent from the Defense Department the White House, according to an Army source, who confirmed that Giunta is likely the nominee.

    The Washington Post was the first to report the nomination, but did not reveal the soldier’s name.

    A source close to the nomination said the soldier fought through a barrage of fire to repel enemy fighters in a fierce battle in late 2007 in Afghanistan’s treacherous Korengal Valley. His actions saved the lives of several other soldiers.

    Well it’s about time

    The West is un-Islamic & most Muslims can’t feel comfortable.
    Only two solutions, either leave the West for Islamic countries or make the West submit.
    I think that they are choosing the latter.

    @ Iron Fist:

    Your “funny how things work out” line reminded me of an apropos Nine Inch Nails lyric:

    I try to laugh about it now but isn’t it funny how everything works
    Out.
    I guess the jokes on me.
    I was up above it.
    I was up above it.
    I was up above it.
    Now i’m down in it

    I used to be so big and strong.
    I used to know my right from wrong.
    I used to never be afraid.
    I used to be somebody.
    I used to have something inside.
    Now just this hole it’s open wide.
    Used to want it all.
    I used to be somebody.

    America could very well be singing this under the Obama administration.

    Sen. Graham: Tea Party will ‘die out’

    WASHINGTON, July 1 (UPI) — U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said much of his work is “completely opposite” from the Tea Party and predicts the movement will “die out.”

    “Everything I’m doing now in terms of talking about climate, talking about immigration, talking about Gitmo is completely opposite of where the Tea Party movement’s at,” Graham told The New York Times Magazine in a profile that will be published Sunday, The Hill reported Thursday.

    ACLU of Wash. issues alert to travelers headed to Arizona

    SEATTLE — In response to the recent passage of Arizona’s anti-illegal immigration law, the ACLU of Washington issued a travel alert to residents headed to Arizona, informing them of their rights if stopped by law enforcement.

    The new law, known as SB 1070, requires law enforcement in Arizona to demand “papers” from people they stop they suspect are not authorized to be in the U.S. If the person is unable to prove to officers they’re permitted in the U.S., they may be subject to arrest without any probable cause they committed a crime.

    This article is a total diaper load pushing the liberal interpretation. It is so obvious the idiot who wrote this opinion piece hadn’t bothered to read the text of the law, just listened to what their liberal friends said it meant. This is an ACLU press release, not a news report.

    OT

    Sorry, but I have to exercise a little bragging right. Here’s my lyric, live at PJTV!

    But you heard it here first:

    The Battle of New Orleans, 2010
    —apologies to Johnny Horton and “The Battle of New Orleans”

    In 2005 Katrina hit us bad
    Nagin didn’t use the buses that he had
    And just as the city started to come back
    A BP platform had to blow its stack

    (Chorus)
    We looked to Obama to do something different
    But he’s never run anything, and so he let it go
    He spent his time hitting balls out on the golf course
    He fumbled and he diddled and he let the oil flow

    BP tried hard to cap the well itself
    But that’s not so easy way out on the shelf
    Obama said that he would give ‘em heck
    And keep his boot hard on the corporate neck

    We looked to Obama to do something different
    But he’s never run anything, and so he let it go
    He spent his time hitting balls out on the golf course
    He fumbled and he diddled and he let the oil flow

    The days went by and we watched ‘em come and go
    But Obama wouldn’t even talk to BP’s CEO
    He said, “Why would you think I’d even try?
    He’s a corporate man and all they do is lie.”

    We looked to Obama to do something different
    But he’s never run anything, and so he let it go
    He spent his time hitting balls out on the golf course
    He fumbled and he diddled and he let the oil flow

    Yeah, the oil spread and birds and the fish started dyin’
    And folks getting hurt all started in to screech
    They shouted so loud the President flew down to the Gulf
    And was photographed picking up a tarball off the beach

    Bobby Jindal tried to make barriers of sand
    But the feds wouldn’t put permission in his hands
    What the President will do to fix things we don’t know
    Except hit BP for billions and watch the oil flow

    We looked to Obama to do something different
    But he’s never run anything, and so he let it go
    He spent his time hitting balls out on the golf course
    He fumbled and he diddled and he let the oil flow

    OT- Good post over at BJG well worth reading.

    “Critics of the $5 billion high-risk pool program insist it will run out of money before Jan. 1, 2014. That’s when the program sunsets and health plans can no longer discriminate against people with pre-existing conditions.

    Administration officials insist they can make changes to the program to ensure it lasts until 2014, and that it may not have to turn away sick people. Officials said the administration could also consider reducing benefits under the program, or redistributing funds between state pools. But they acknowledged turning some people away was also a possibility.”

    Lindsey Graham is a disgrace. He is also whistling past his own graveyard. The Tea Party movement is very strong in SC, and he’s accurately perceived as a sellout. I doubt that he’ll be elected again. Unfortunately, his term won’t be up for another four years.

    An explosion killed one person and injured 12 on Friday in the Serb part of the divided town of Mitrovica in northern Kosovo, police and doctors said.

    Islam provides details for every facet of a person’s life, while this is not found in any other religion… [T]he Muslims attained political power over all the others by waging Jihaad. They fought for Allaah’s pleasure and conquered nation after nation, including the superpowers of the Romans and the Persians. They remained dominant over large areas of Europe, Asia, and Africa for many centuries. (These were the only continents known then). Even today the Muslims dominate large areas and will be able to dominate the rest if they unite, separate from the Kuffaar [Unbelievers] and wage Jihaad for Allah’s pleasure.“– Mufti Muhammad Aashiq Illahi Muhajir Madani’s Illuminating Discourses on the Noble Qur’an volume 4 pp. 285-286 (2003)

    In our religion, we believe that Allah has created us for the purpose of worshipping [H]im. He is the one who created us and who has favored us with this religion. Allah has ordered us to make holy wars and to fight to see to it that His word is the highest and the uppermost and that of the unbelievers the lowermost…I am one of the servants of Allah. We do our duty of fighting for the sake of the religion of Allah. It is also our duty to send a call to all the people of the world to enjoy this great light and to embrace Islam and experience the happiness in Islam. Our primary mission is nothing but the furthering of this religion.”—May 1998 Interview with Osama bin Laden

    Signs of sanity may be surfacing in NYC, but it is DOA in DC:

    Obama: U.S. Borders Cannot Be Secured With Fences and Border Patrols

    (CNSNews.com) – President Barack Obama said today that U.S. borders cannot be secured with fences and border patrols. “It won’t work,” he said.

    Obama made the statement in a speech at American University in Washington, D.C. in which he called on Congress to enact a “comprehensive immigration reform” law that would include a “pathway for legal status” for illegal immigrants—or what critics call amnesty.

    The Feds haven’t tried, beyond an expected-to-fail token effort, to secure the border yet they insist doing so would fail without any evidence.

    Their faith in Socialism, on the other hand, is such they believe it will work despite the clear evidence of it never having worked anywhere it has been tried.

    Foreign skimmers were rejected because the percentage that the skimmers returned processed water was not of sufficient quality for the EPA. By demanding 99.985% oil-free water instead of allowing 95-98% oil free, we have 0% oil-free water.

    Sen. Graham: Tea Party will ‘die out’
    WASHINGTON, July 1 (UPI) — U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said much of his work is “completely opposite” from the Tea Party and predicts the movement will “die out.”
    “Everything I’m doing now in terms of talking about climate, talking about immigration, talking about Gitmo is completely opposite of where the Tea Party movement’s at,” Graham told The New York Times Magazine in a profile that will be published Sunday, The Hill reported Thursday.

    I predict that Sen Lindsey Graham’s career will ‘die out”.

    Serious criminal behavior towards pro-life activist goes unpunished.

    Disgusting must read.

    According to our friends at NewsBusters, on June 25th, a pro-life group called Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust were peacefully protesting outside of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood when a crew from the Jimmy Kimmel Show arrived to do some filming. The pro-life youth activists weren’t in the film crew’s way — whatever they were shooting was across the street — but then for no reason other than to be ideologically sadistic, the crew turned a hot spotlight on Ryan Bueler, one of the young protesters. Bueler refused to be intimidated and for 15 minutes stood under a light hot enough to partially melt a bracelet he was wearing. This video is unbelievable:

    It’s the concept of al-wala’a wa’l-bara’a — “loyalty (to believers) and enmity (towards nonbelievers)” — which is a central tenet of iman — submitting to Allah as sole legislator and divine slave-master who must wield maximum authority over his abject subjects and who expects al-mu’minin to chastise his foes for him with slaying and enslaving and plundering and conquest and later, dhimma and jizya. Pure Islam can only be practiced under full Shari’a law, and Allah only protects from destruction at the hands of mujahedin the blood and property of those practicing pure Islam in accord with Shari’a as well as those who have purchased Aman and therefore are under the apartheid dhimma contract as long as they — the dhimmis, or more accurately, dimam — do not break any of its conditions, so the governments of kuffar are deemed tyrannical and illegitimate for refusing to enjoin al-Ma’ruf and forbid al-Munkar and therefore such governments must be extinguished in jihad al-talab wa’l-ibtida and replaced with the rule of tawhid and suppression of fitnah-inducing and fasaad/zilm-spreading shirk and kufr.

    U.S. Spent $550,496 on Study That Did ‘Focus Groups and In-Depth Interviews’ To Learn About the Sex Lives of Truck Drivers

    (CNSNews.com) – The federal government has spent $550,496 on a project that involved conducting “focus groups and in-depth interviews” with American long-haul truck drivers to learn about their sex lives in order to assess their risk of contracting HIV or other sexually transmitted infections.

    The project has failed to find any instances of HIV among the truck drivers studied.

    “Several international studies have documented substantial levels of sexual risk behaviors and high rates of STI and HIV amongst long-distance truck drivers living in diverse settings including India, Bangladesh, South Africa and Thailand,” says the abstract for the grant published by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). “In the United States, while it is known that STI and HIV cases are frequently concentrated around major transportation routes, less is known regarding specific HIV/STI risk behaviors and HIV/STI prevalence amongst the over 3 million truck drivers in this country.”

    From the Borg Collective –


    Yesterday Rand Paul, the rising star of the Republican Party, compared the United States to the Roman Empire in its last days.

    This sort of rhetoric is indistinguishable from the anti-American rants of Al Qaeda, and it’s now standard tea party fare. Why does Rand Paul hate America?

    Really, Rosebud? Rand Paul is a mujahid/ghazi, calling for the futuhat of the dar al-harb? Who knew?!

    “How can [the Muslim] possibly [accept humiliation and inferiority] when he knows that his nation was created to stand at the center of leadership, at the center of hegemony and rule, at the center of ability and sacrifice? How can [he] possibly [accept humiliation and inferiority] when he knows that the [divine] rule is that the entire earth must be subject to the religion of Allah – not to the East, not to the West – to no ideology and to no path except for the path of Allah?”–al-Qaida spokesperson Suleiman Abu Gheith’s “In the Shadow of the Lance” (July 2002)

    “This [jihad] will continue until they all submit to the religion of Allah, yield to its laws, and surrender to its rule…Yes, we believe that the entire world must be ruled by Islam, and no grain of soil should be made an exception, because the Prophet Muhammad was sent to all people without exception. This does not mean, however, that we must fight all peoples of the world at once, in order to subject them to Islamic law. Islam did not command us to do so. Islam commanded us to fight the closest and then the next, from among the people who refuse to submit to the rule of Islam. We should move from the closest to the next, and widen the circle, until all people submit to the rule of Allah. We are now at the beginning of the road, when we try to regain the lands taken over by the infidels, from among the Jews, the Christians, their apostate supporters, and treacherous rulers.”–Al-Qaeda mujahid Abu Yahya Al-Liby, in August 2007 video We Will Continue the Jihad until All the People in the World Submit to the Rule of Islam

    “Does Islam or does it not, force people by the power of the sword to submit to its authority corporeally if not spiritually? Yes. There are only three choices in Islam; either willing submission; or payment of the jizya, through physical, though not spiritual, submission to the authority of Islam; or the sword – for it is not right to let the infidel live. The matter is summed up for every person alive: Either submit, or live under the suzerainty of Islam; or die.”–Osama bin Laden, Moderate Islam is a Prostration to the West, reproduced in The Al-Qaeda Reader edited by Raymond Ibrahim p. 42

    “In fact, Muslims are obligated to raid the lands of the infidels, occupy them and exchange their systems of governance for an Islamic system, barring any practice that contradicts the Sharia from being publicly voiced among the people.”–Osama bin Laden, Moderate Islam is a Prostration to the West, reproduced in The Al-Qaeda Reader edited by Raymond Ibrahim p. 51

    We don’t have that. Every state should have recall for ALL elected officials and, IMO, also for firing unelected bureaucrats, for nullifying unpopular laws, and for voting entire agencies out of existence. The same should apply to the federal government.

    I do NOT believe in allowing plebiscites or ballot initiatives for the purpose of taking any “positive” action, such as enacting any new laws or regulations, or putting anybody into office, or spending any money. That leads to all kinds of problems with demagoguery and mob rule. Recall should work purely in the negative, as part of the checks and balances, as a restraint on reckless government action that does not enjoy the consent of the governed.
