Sunday Reflections…

For prayers, thanksgiving and general reflections…

You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children’s children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done.

- Ronald Reagan

    Yesterday June 25 was the 5th anniversary of the abduction of Corporal Gilad Shalit Pray that he is still alive (he is being held by sheer barbarians) and that his freedom will come soon.

    I actually hope, as he lays there in that Cuban Hospital bed, that Comrade Chavez is undergoing some Quiet Reflections regarding the way he has ruled Venezuela.
    If he isn’t…we may have to get the following cheer ready:

    ¡Chavez es Muerto! ¡El S.O.B. es Muerto!

    I hope they sink and can’t swim. Let them kill each other over the life boats.
    Watch how the men don’t stand back and let the women go first. Why should they? The feminist hags would resent that. Right?

    The original artist who painted it very likely could be or one at least of the letters in the LBFTBQ alphabet salad. Whoever it is, must have freaked when he saw it scrawled over. The scrawler emailed me and told me that a lynch mob started gathering around him as he was blacking out the tooth. So he headed off.

    I keep thinking abt. your interview with Terry Jones. You know, in a sane world bloomberg would have rolled out the red carpet for him and given him the key to the city.
    Instead, he has the cops go harass him. A real American citizen. Trying to restrict his freedom to speak, assemble and just travel around the country.

    This is so much like a movie where the corrupt sheriff and a posse meet the good guy at the county line and tries to stop him from coming to town.
    It is just outrageous.

    I do believe Rodan would take exception to the term Hispanic being used where the correct term should be Mexican. And if they are offended by the American Flag, deport their punk asses back to Mexico.

    Israel Warns Media: Don’t Board Gaza Flotilla

    JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel is threatening to bar international journalists from the country for years if they board ships attempting to breach the Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip.
    A flotilla of Gaza-bound ships is due to set sail soon, perhaps this week.

    On Sunday, Israel’s Government Press Office issued a statement calling the flotilla “a dangerous provocation” and an “international violation of Israeli law.”

    It says participation in the flotilla “is liable to lead to participants being denied entry into the state of Israel for 10 years” and to additional sanctions.

    Israel imposed the blockade in 2007, after Hamas overran Gaza.

    Israel eased a land blockade after a deadly Israeli raid on a Gaza-bound flotilla last year. The naval blockade remains intact.

    New Tactic: Pakistan Taliban Use Husband, Wife Suicide Bombers

    DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan (AP) — The Pakistani Taliban said Sunday the group had sent a husband and wife suicide squad to carry out an attack on a police station in northwestern Pakistan that killed 10 people, a rare instance of militants using a woman as a bomber.

    The pair entered the police station in Kolachi on Saturday and said they were there to lodge a complaint, said Imtiaz Shah, a senior police official. Once inside, the two attacked with grenades and machine guns, triggering a five-hour standoff with police.

    Male suicide bombers often don the burqa as a disguise. In 2007, officials initially claimed Pakistan’s first female suicide bomber had killed 14 people in the northwest town of Bannu. But the attacker was later identified as a man.

    Islamic militants in Iraq have used female suicide bombers several times because women in their all-covering robes are seen as able to pass more easily through security. Male security officers are often hesitant to search women.
