Raven over at And Righty So! sent me a heads up about Human Events Online and the billboard campaign, thanking Hollywood for Bush’s second term.

Underestimating the intelligence of the red tater staters, they continue to bash the President and the important initiatives such as Iraq and spreading disinformation and lies. Human Events certainly has a sense of humor! Because ultimately, intelligent dems who at one time used to oppose the party of the proletariat are now jumping like rats off a sinking ship…because ultimately, the Democratic Party HAS BECOME the party of the proletariat.

Hilarious!!!

How many Liberals does it take to win a war?

How many of you Liberals does it take to win a war?
Well how the hell can we tell? You won’t fight one anymore.
You say that you support the troops, but the truth’s plain as your face,
You’d pull us from the battle, march us home in full disgrace.
You’ve no stomach for the fighting, got no mettle, got no pluck;
If you ran this war on terror, we’d be a very well plucked duck.
The wolves of Jihad smell your dread, can smell your craven breath,
And emboldened by the fear they scent, lust for our bloody death.

“But wait,” you protest piously , “We are fighters for the poor.”
Might we suggest you start to fight, before wolves come through the door?
Do you think they’ll still believe in you, your poor, your gays, your blacks,
When the wolves run wild among them, sinking fangs into their backs?
Think then that they’ll be caring, when they’re counting out their dead,
We inflict pain on a captive wolf to learn what’s in his head?
Do you really think, you bleeding hearts, when they bleed in scarlet torrents,
They’ll care we cage the savage wolves, search lairs without signed warrants?

For years we watched your “feel good” courts defang our criminal laws,
Handcuff our police, give felons rights, espouse the criminals’ cause.
Felonius wolves were freed to prey, and we suffered their wild rages
Till “thinking” men took back the courts, put the wolf packs back in cages.
With your same old clueless “feelings” you now decry this war;
And with your same old fuzzy logic, common sense you still ignore.
We must look into “root causes” and we must try to “feel their pain;”
Pardon if our eyes start rolling, at your same old lame refrain.

It’s hard to fathom whence you come, perhaps some flawed eugenics,
That begets utopian pessimists, sires optimistic cynics.
Thanks be the power to rule the land remains beyond your means;
A regime of yours, would be like, no doubt, being ruled by pimpled teens.
Your quixotic quest for a world love nest, denies some truths quite real,
Like the need to have some “thinking” folks to preserve your right to “feel.”
Abhorring blood on your own hands, there’s a hard truth you’ve ignored,
Someone else must take your plowshare, and beat it back into a sword.

So how many of you Liberals does it take to win a war?
Or is there simply nothing you believe worth fighting for?
How is it that you’ve never learned, like most when they grow older,
That appeasing badness is a bad idea, only makes the bad guys bolder.
Has your fear of spilling human blood made you Jihad’s useful fools,
Ignoring that their wolf packs never fight within the rules?
By your demand we stay our hand, you weaken and you bind us;
Forcing us to fight off wolf attacks with that hand tied behind us.
So we bend some rules, in war you fools; so what? Show some respect,
When it’s your fuzzy-headed “feelings” “thinking” men fight to protect.

Al-Qaida’s top operative in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, said

“We have declared a bitter war against democracy and all those who seek to enact it,’ Zarqawi announced, adding that “democracy is based on the right to choose your religion,’ and that’s “against the rule of Allah.’

Looks to me as though a different voice is speaking here…the Voice of God…the God that believes in freedom, not Allah. Today I am privately celebrating for an Iranian friend of mine, a Kurd, whose father was murdered under the Ayatollah Khoemeini. It is my hope that all of the kurds in Iraq will be breathing a little bit easier today and in the future. And for all the people who were tortured, and oppressed under Saddam, this is a good day. God bless all those who’ve lost their lives–both under Saddam’s regime, and in the fight against the terrorists. It’s not over, but this is a huge accomplishment for the Iraqi people and their future.

“I came here to vote for our goal, which is freedom,” said Abu Ahmed, a 55-year-old Shiite voter in Baqouba north of Baghdad.

Condi: Election Going Better Than Expected

Rice praised the bravery of Iraqi voters and acknowledged “there are going to be many, many difficult days ahead.”

“What we are seeing here is the emergence of an Iraqi voice of freedom,” Rice said in the first response to the election from the Bush administration.

“No, it’s not a perfect election,” Rice conceded, but she called it a positive development no one had foreseen three years ago when Saddam Hussein was still the dictator of Iraq.

Rice spoke Sunday morning less than an hour before the Iraqi poll closing.

The goal is to offer a full picture of the elections from the perspective of Iraqis. There are lots of good reports already on the Friends of Democracy site click here. It is not “candy coated” - it includes good news and bad. Take a look now and make sure to check it on Sunday.

Terry Turner recently visited both Cao’s Blog and the Wide Awakes Website, touting the mantra, that he’s “watching Washington” and wants to hold the republicans responsible. You can see his blog here.

Yet, there is a vast array of evidence on the net that he’s watching out for the dems interests, and is trolling conservative websites, leaving less-than civil messages and even sending rude emails.

Interestingly enough, when he tried to gain entry to the Wide Awakes discussion forum and we denied him entry, he sent me this email:

Always a pleasure to talk to a right winger whose views border on facist beliefs is silencing debate.

Good day to you as well.

Now here is where it gets interesting. The Wide Awakes group is not an ignorant bunch of hicks, you know. Here’s a link to our rules of Engagement, here’s a link to our statement of purpose. We encourage debate, but that’s not the purpose of our forum. We welcome dissenting opinions on our blog, it only makes us better at what we’re trying to accomplish.

It was pointed out to me by one of our astute bloggers, Ogre, from Ogres Politics and views, who did a little research on this guy’s website:

20,000 page views? I’m not buying that one. Ranked #9035 in the ecosystem, inbound unique links: 5 (all links from left sites). Technorati shows 75 links from 15 sources. No sitemeter counter displayed. Maybe he hits reload a lot.

Seems like this guy is a little “stuck on himself” when he stretches numbers that are so easy to verify.

Beth, at My Vast Rightwing Conspiracy, had this to say about hiim:

Eff him. I have no patience for people who live to pick fights. Ask him if he’s ever heard of the Alliance, the Watchers of Weasels, the Right Wing Attack Squad, the Command Post, Milbloggers or any one of the multitude of other groups (I won’t even bother with the lefty ones, because I can’t name one off the top of my head)…for the most part, blog groups or group blogs are for the like minded to work together. If he wants to “debate,” he can use his own bandwidth to do so, or (politely) leave a comment at Wide Awakes. My thinking is that the forum is more along the lines of the Rottweilers’ chat room (although anyone can get in there, leftards wouldn’t last long if they tried). Friendly talk among the like-minded.

Oh, and tell him “stifle” is not spelled “stiffle”. Sorry, I had to say that because I think he sounds like an asshat.

And she was pretty strong on this because she continues

Like I said, eff him. I agree, there’s no way he gets 20K visits a day unless he hits refresh a lot! (LOL) Besides, what kind of debate would it be if he’s already resorted to name-calling (”facist”–nice spelling, AGAIN). What a jerk–what makes him think HIS point of view is either “sharp” or “accurate”? I’m halfway tempted to say let him in so I can chew him up and spit him out. Dumbass.

He has the habit of attempting to spread disinformation as was published some time ago on the Club For Growth blog.

Don’t swallow what this guy is telling you, he stretches the facts until they’re out and out lies, and he’s a name-calling dem who masquerades as someone who’s trying to hold Washington responsible-when, in fact, he’s one of those extreme dems who considers republicans fascists, much like the George Soros breed of socialists who’ve taken over the democratic party who call people “racist” without even knowing their name.

IMO, he not only sounds like an asshat, he’s proven himself to be one. Nuff said.

Naseer Flayih Hasan wrote this piece published at Frontpage magazine. You can see it here.

I had befriended a French reporter who had begun to realize that the situation in Iraq was not how the international media or the so-called “peace camp” described it. I noticed, however, that whenever he tried to voice his doubts to colleagues, they argued that he was wrong. Soon afterwards, I met a Dutch woman on Mutinabi Street, where booksellers lay out their wares on Friday morning. I asked her how long she’d been in Iraq and, through a translator, she answered, “Three months.”

“So you were here during the war?”

“Yes!” she said. “To see the crimes of the Americans!”

I was stunned. After a moment, I replied, “What about the crimes of the regime? It killed millions of Iraqis. Do you know that if the regime was still in power, the conversation we’re having now would result in our torture or death?”

Her face turned red and she angrily responded, “Soon will come the day that the Americans will do worse.” She then went on to accuse me of not knowing what the true facts were in Iraq—and that she could see the situation better than me!

She was not the only “humanitarian” who expressed such outrageous opinions. One afternoon, I was speaking to some members of the American anti-war group “Voices in the Wilderness.” One of the group’s members declared that the Iraqi Governing Council (then in power at the time) were “traitors.” I was shocked. Most of the Council were people whom we Iraqis knew had suffered and sacrificed in a long struggle against the regime. Some represented opposition parties who had lost ten of thousand of members in that struggle. Others came from families who had lost up to 30 loved ones to the Baathists.

After those, and many other, experiences, we finally comprehended how little we had in common with these “peace activists” who constantly decried American crimes, and hated to listen to us talk about the terrible long nightmare that ended with the collapse of the regime. We came to understand how these “humanitarians” experienced a sort of pleasure when terrorists or former remnants of the regime created destruction in Iraq—just so they could feel that they were right, and the Americans wrong!

Cao’s Note: This is an Iraqi talking about his beloved Iraq. It’s just another example of how the left twists what is happening in Iraq–even when they’re living in Iraq–the unmitigated hubris to lecture Iraqis who suffered under Saddam about the terrorist “freedom fighters” noble cause. I can’t even imagine this–happening right in Iraq itself. I’ve witnessed it as leftists from all over the world have left stupid statements like that on this blog…but this is beyond the imagination.

This is a very disturbing presentation of the state of the Democratic party.

In the beginning, it’s very funny, when the people are being interviewed about what happened with the election. But then it turns…and it’s very disturbing to learn that they’re talking about a “revolution”.

December 20, 2004, Ron Paul

In 2002 I asked my House colleagues a rhetorical question with regard to the onslaught of government growth in the post-September 11th era: Is America becoming a police state?

The question is no longer rhetorical. We are not yet living in a total police state, but it is fast approaching. The seeds of future tyranny have been sown, and many of our basic protections against government have been undermined. The atmosphere since 2001 has permitted Congress to create whole new departments and agencies that purport to make us safer- always at the expense of our liberty. But security and liberty go hand-in-hand. Members of Congress, like too many Americans, don’t understand that a society with no constraints on its government cannot be secure. History proves that societies crumble when their governments become more powerful than the people and private institutions.

Unfortunately, the new intelligence bill passed by Congress two weeks ago moves us closer to an encroaching police state by imposing the precursor to a full-fledged national ID card. Within two years, every American will need a “conforming” ID to deal with any federal agency– including TSA at the airport.

Undoubtedly many Americans and members of Congress don’t believe America is becoming a police state, which is reasonable enough. They associate the phrase with highly visible symbols of authoritarianism like military patrols, martial law, and summary executions. But we ought to be concerned that we have laid the foundation for tyranny by making the public more docile, more accustomed to government bullying, and more accepting of arbitrary authority- all in the name of security. Our love for liberty above all has been so diminished that we tolerate intrusions into our privacy that would have been abhorred just a few years ago. We tolerate inconveniences and infringements upon our liberties in a manner that reflects poorly on our great national character of rugged individualism. American history, at least in part, is a history of people who don’t like being told what to do. Yet we are increasingly empowering the federal government and its agents to run our lives.

Terror, fear, and crises like 9-11 are used to achieve complacency and obedience, especially when citizens are deluded into believing they are still a free people. The loss of liberty, we are assured, will be minimal, short-lived, and necessary. Many citizens believe that once the war on terror is over, restrictions on their liberties will be reversed. But this war is undeclared and open-ended, with no precise enemy and no expressly stated final goal. Terrorism will never be eradicated completely; does this mean future presidents will assert extraordinary war powers indefinitely?

Washington DC provides a vivid illustration of what our future might look like. Visitors to Capitol Hill encounter police barricades, metal detectors, paramilitary officers carrying fully automatic rifles, police dogs, ID checks, and vehicle stops. The people are totally disarmed; only the police and criminals have guns. Surveillance cameras are everywhere, monitoring street activity, subway travel, parks, and federal buildings. There’s not much evidence of an open society in Washington, DC, yet most folks do not complain– anything goes if it’s for government-provided safety and security.

After all, proponents argue, the government is doing all this to catch the bad guys. If you don’t have anything to hide, they ask, what are you so afraid of? The answer is that I’m afraid of losing the last vestiges of privacy that a free society should hold dear. I’m afraid of creating a society where the burden is on citizens to prove their innocence, rather than on government to prove wrongdoing. Most of all, I’m afraid of living in a society where a subservient populace surrenders its liberties to an all-powerful government.

It may be true that average Americans do not feel intimidated by the encroachment of the police state. Americans remain tolerant of what they see as mere nuisances because they have been deluded into believing total government supervision is necessary and helpful, and because they still enjoy a high level of material comfort. That tolerance may wane, however, as our standard of living falls due to spiraling debt, endless deficit spending at home and abroad, a declining fiat dollar, inflation, higher interest rates, and failing entitlement programs. At that point attitudes toward omnipotent government may change, but the trend toward authoritarianism will be difficult to reverse.

Those who believe a police state can’t happen here are poor students of history. Every government, democratic or not, is capable of tyranny. We must understand this if we hope to remain a free people.

5:33. The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter; [Anyone who disbeliefs in Islam and speaks against it is considered to be waging war against Allah and his messenger]

Dhimmitude is the status that Islamic law, the Sharia, mandates for non-Muslims, primarily Jews and Christians. Dhimmis, “protected people,” are free to practice their religion in a Sharia regime, but are made subject to a number of humiliating regulations designed to enforce the Qur’an’s command that they “feel themselves subdued” (Sura 9:29). This denial of equality of rights and dignity remains part of the Sharia, and, as such, are part of the legal superstructure that global jihadists are laboring to restore everywhere in the Islamic world, and wish ultimately to impose on the entire human race. It’s called building a bridge to the 8th century.

If dhimmis complained about their inferior status, institutionalized humiliation, or poverty, their masters voided their contract and regarded them as enemies of Islam, fair game as objects of violence. Consequently, dhimmis were generally cowed into silence and worse. It was almost unheard-of to find dhimmis speaking out against their oppressors; to do so would have been suicide. For centuries dhimmi communities in the Islamic world learned to live in peace with their Muslim overlords by acquiescing to their subservience. Some even actively identified with the dominant class, and became strenuous advocates for it.

Spearheaded by dhimmi academics and self-serving advocacy groups, that same attitude of chastened subservience has entered into Western academic study of Islam, and from there into journalism, school textbooks, and the popular discourse. One must not point out the depredations of jihad and dhimmitude; to do so would offend the multiculturalist ethos that prevails everywhere today. To do so would endanger chances for peace and rapprochement between civilizations all too ready to clash.

But in this era of global terrorism it must be said: this silence, this distortion, has become deadly. Before 9/11 it was easy to ignore and whitewash dhimmitude, but the atrocities changed the situation forever. In jihads throughout history, untold millions have died. Tens of millions have been uprooted from their homes. Tens of millions have been stripped of their cultural identity. To continue to gloss over the destruction wrought by jihad ideology and its attendant evil of dhimmitude is today to play into the hands of jihadists, who have repeatedly vowed to dhimmify the West and destroy any recalcitrant elements. While jihadist groups, even with their global diffusion, are not strong enough to realize this goal by themselves, they have a potent and destructive ally, a genuine fifth column, in the dhimmi academics and dhimmi journalists they have recruited in the West. They have succeeded in confusing millions in the West into mistaking honesty and truthfulness for bigotry, and self-defense for oppression.

From Robert Spencer’s Dhimmi Watch and Faith Freedom, the website of the ex Muslim Movement, whose members are warning us of the dangers of Islam.

Being the worst of the death camps, Auschwitz may be viewed as the symbol for the Holocaust, and the liberation of Auschwitz, which we are commemorating today (January 27, 2005), may be viewed as the symbol of defeating evil at its worst.

In remembering Auschwitz, we should try to learn the lessons it teaches us concerning current trends and events, and to do so we should focus on the basic questions: How could it have happened and can it happen again? (more…)
