As part of its long-standing agenda to go to bat for America’s enemies and subvert the War on Islamist Terror, the ACLU filed a suit against the U.S. in October 2003 seeking information on the treatment of detainees in U.S. custody. Getting the Abu Ghraib images released to the public is part of that suit.

Gen. John P. Abizaid, commander of U.S. Central Command said that the release of the photos will make his work against terrorism more difficult.

That’s exactly the ACLU’s intent.

Watch Rocco’s short video that shows the difference between the monkey business at Abu Ghraib that they complain about versus REAL TORTURE. Be warned: It’s rough.

This article is sickening, but it goes to show how slick these people are. Take the time to read the whole thing and email the article to the IRS and follow the action items at the end.

This article by Steven Plaut at Frontpage Magazine is extremely interesting in light of all the intelligence failures connected with 9/11 and the frightening examples of terrorism and domestic terrorists who seem to be traveling about unrestricted.

The Left has long painted the CIA as a far-Right neofascist bogeyman, dominated by reactionary Dr. Strangeloves, and paranoid “neoncons.” The reality, of course, has long been very different. In fact, the CIA has long been dominated by liberal ideology and the left-leaning, blame-America mindset. Those who are skeptical of this last assertion should read one of the most important books ever written about intelligence services: Informing Statecraft: Intelligence for a New Century by Angelo Codevilla. In this book, to which I cannot do full justice here, he shows how the many failures of the CIA trace back to its kneejerk liberalism and politically correct delusions. (See a more detailed review here.)

The liberal mindset of the CIA has not only led to a long series of grave errors in judgment and gross misreadings of many international situations; it has also led it to hire large numbers of radicals into its ranks. The extent of the damage done by such people can only be guessed, but a good idea of the dimensions can be gleaned from observing the behavior of the growing number of far-left ex-CIA employees running about in the anti-America movement today.

Leftists emerging from the shadows of the American intelligence community are of course nothing new. The most famous postwar example was no doubt Daniel Ellsberg, who has spent his later years as a button man for the far Left. Ellsberg, however, was never actually employed by the CIA, but by RAND. Others, at least as radical as him, were. Of those, the worst is arguably Philip Agee, who left the CIA and published the seditious Covert Action Information Bulletin, with the help of both the KGB and the Cuban DGI, a magazine dedicated to promoting “a worldwide campaign to destabilize the CIA through exposure of its operations and personnel.” Agee told Swiss journalist Peter Studer, “The CIA is plainly on the wrong side, that is, the capitalistic side. I approve KGB activities, communist activities in general. Between the overdone activities that the CIA initiates and the more modest activities of the KGB, there is absolutely no comparison.” Today Agee runs a website from his home in Havana, Cubalinda.com, and is a dedicated communist.

In recent years, veterans of the CIA who were employed by the Agency have emerged as some of the most extremist bashers of America in the ”antiwar movement”. One well-known example is Michael Scheuer, who anonymously penned Imperial Hubris, a book critical of the conduct of the war on terrorism since the mid-1990s. Scheuer had been assigned to create a “bin Laden desk” at the CIA. After resigning from the Agency, he went on a campaign against the US invasion of Iraq, warning that Moslems worldwide were growing to hate the US because of its “policies”, and in particular he blamed US support for Israel for anti-American terrorism. He considers bin Laden to be a “great man”.

Notice in this presentation how many Iraqis are participating in these strikes against the terrorists.

Do you remember Terri?

Those of us on the Right, (not to mention in the Right), fought hellaciously to, at the very least, have more tests done to prove once and for all if she were truly so brain-damaged that there was no help for her.

As a short aside I still don’t believe the autopsy results.

Aside from wanting to make certain that she was truly beyond all aid, we wanted to head off the setting of a precedent that would devalue life even more than it already is in this country. The rampant use of abortion as birth control is bad enough without letting people decide whether someone lives or dies on the basis of whether or not that person wants to continue to deal with a very ill relative or an insurance rep decides that the ill person is costing too much money to the company.

The left in America heaps adulation on the european union and their highly socialist systems, holding them up as a paragon of enlightened virtue and reminding us backwards, God-fearing rednecks in America just how caring they are across the pond.

The left in America would gladly have us go down this road, turning America into a country with an ever decreasing economy, leaving us in the same freedomless system of the EU, where a man is almost certain to never be able to move up the ladder of success because the socio-economic mobility simply doesn’t exist due to onerous taxes and a system that promotes laziness and an expectation that the government will be there to take care of you from the cradle to the grave.

Yes, those folks in the EU certainly do have a great idea, don’t they?

Forget for a moment the sky-high unemployment.

Nevermind the miniscule growth rate, the dangerous policies of appeasement, the lack of socio-economic mobility and the hateful attitude towards America for daring to defend ourselves and all free peoples.

Let all of these things slip from your mind as you ponder this little question.

Do you want to live in a society that values life so little that doctors can kill your newborn child without your knowledge or consent simply because that child is not born “normal”?

The ACLU, who claim to be Americas gaurdian of liberty is ironically the most active religious censor in America. For nearly two generations it has relentlessly forced countless communities into submission when it comes to public expression of faith, particularly Christianity.

California has been fighting to save their seal, its history and heritage from the clutches of the ACLU’s secular cleansing with everything they’ve got. The people voted to keep the seal, but the ACLU is not interested in democracy. They believe they know what is best for society, and are willing to force it on people through their finely tuned skills of judicial activism.

Now they are at it again- this time in the small village of Tijeras, New Mexico (population 474). Earlier this week, our friend The Mary Hunter at TMH’s Bacon Bits told us the story, and asked, where is the ACLU?

Two residents of a New Mexico town are suing to remove three crosses from the official town seal. The suit says “the crosses serve no governmental purpose other than to disenfranchise and discredit non-Christian citizens” and accuses the city of violating the plaintiff’s constitutional right to religious freedom, invading their privacy, and violating the civil rights act of 1964. The mayor says he plans to fight the lawsuit since, he says, the crosses have a historical reason for being in the logo. After all, the town in question is Las Cruces, which is Spanish for “The Crosses.”

The Alliance Defense Fund will be stepping up to the plate once again to defend religious liberty.

TIJERAS, N.M. - The village council of Tijeras agreed Thursday to be represented by attorneys with the Alliance Defense Fund in their battle against a lawsuit threatened by the ACLU. The ACLU claims the village logo violates the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution because it depicts a small cross.

“We have carefully reviewed the ACLU’s allegations and believe the seal is entirely constitutional under the law,” said ADF Senior Counsel Gary McCaleb. “The main feature of the city seal is not the cross but the Zia, which is a Native American religious symbol. The symbols of the seal reflect the history and culture of this ancient village. Many of the same design elements, such as the Zia, are found in the state flag. Why isn’t the ACLU suing against the state flag?”

The seal, which depicts a conquistador’s helmet and sword, the Native American Zia symbol, and a small rosary, was designed in 1973 to accurately reflect the village’s history and not to further any religion.

“The ACLU is once more specifically targeting a cross while it ignores Native American religious symbols. It reveals their desire to target all things Christian, regardless of the fact that the cross in the Tijeras seal is clearly an historic symbol and not an attempt to endorse any particular faith,” McCaleb said.ADF

This small town is standing up to the ACLU, and that should be commended. With a population of 474 this is no small feat. Its these small communities the ACLU love to prey on. These kind of lawsuits are the ACLU’s speciality, and its sad for an organization that claims it is protecting our civil liberties, to be one that practices daily at stripping them away. We applaud this small town for standing up for their liberty. Thank goodness we have the Alliance Defense Fund out there protecting religious liberty from the secular cleansing of the ACLU. Why the ACLU are allowed to continue their destruction of liberty is beyond me, but its high past time for people to do something about it!

Join us in our fight against the ACLU and its seclular cleansing of America. We are a grassroots organization trying to gather the troops to fight the ACLU, expose their agenda, awaken America, and save liberty from the clutches of the secular agenda.

According to President Bush, the Saudi government qualifies for financial aid since they have cooperated in the fight against terror. It seems that all reports that contradict this cooperation were either ignored or brushed aside.

Seems to me to be an incredibly dangerous decision for national security and the war on terror. The Saudis have plenty of money, why the hell should we funnel our hard-earned dollars into their terrorist war chest?

In a previous post I talked about how Christians are undergoing persecution in other countries–totalitarian countries–and here’s a rough example of how Christians are treated under the Taleban regime in Afghanistan. From AsiaNews: with thanks to Robert Spencer at Dhimmiwatch:

M is a Catholic Afghani and a refugee in Italy. He told his story to AsiaNews, an account of discrimination and threats under the Taleban regime owing to his family faith. His father was killed because he converted, and to save his son, he did not tell him that he had been baptised. It was only when he arrived in Italy that the boy discovered he was a Christian. “Now I want to live for Jesus even when I am with my Muslim friends”.

(AsiaNews) – Subjected to discrimination and scorn at the hands of the Taleban in Afghanistan, he was forced to flee, losing his entire family. M (whose real name cannot be disclosed for security reasons) is an Afghan youth who is a refugee in Italy. He has always been a Catholic, however without knowing it: his father, a convert from Islam, had to hide the truth from him to protect him. M only discovered his religion a year ago: an Italian cultural mediator explained to him that Isai, the term used by his peers to denigrate him, meant “Christian”. And he saw images in churches, which his family would keep hidden at home, and in the hands of one of his teachers, he saw a rosary like his mother’s.

M lived in a small mountain village. When he was still a child, his father, a landowner, was killed by neighbours, who accused him of having made money by betraying his Islamic faith and becoming a Christian. In reality, they wanted to take over his lands. According to local laws, the males of the family of the victim, once they come of age, have the right to avenge the death, with the tacit consent of all. So those who had murdered M’s father started to persecute him and his brother, with the intention of killing them before they came of age and could take justice into their hands. M and his brother escaped. Their mother also escaped and the brothers have not heard from her since. This was at the end of 1999 under the Taleban regime, during the civil war.

“From when I was young, I tried to enter the mosque like everyone else,” recalled M. “But the others prevented me from doing so and they accused me of not being a Muslim. I did not understand but I saw small signs, which made me think that my family and me were different: no one wanted to eat with us, they said they would prefer to have a dog touch the bread rather than us. We lived an isolated life without friends. When I tried to play with other children, they kept their distance from me, at school they mocked me and beat me. All families kept at least one weapon per member at home; we only had an old hunting rifle hung on the wall, which my father rarely used. My companions offended me, using the word Isai: I thought it meant ‘criminal’ or ‘assassin’ and I felt dirty. Meanwhile, I continued to press my father for explanations. I would see him and my mother say the rosary (at the time I did not even know what it was) and I looked at the image of Jesus and the Virgin Mary hung on the wall in one of the rooms of the house, which was always kept closed. I would ask and demand, my father would only reply, ‘When you are old, you will understand’.”

With a huge tip o’ me tam to the SandMonkey, I am extremely delighted to bring you a greatly insightful article written by Cristopher Hitchens.

Christopher, writing for Slate in this article, gives a short but most needed history lesson (for you leftist cretins) about International ANSWER and points out the ever decreasing anti-war movement and the increasingly impotence of those like Shithead Sheehan, The Moore-On.

While you are getting a history lesson from Christopher, don’t forget to check out these great articles;

Here Christopher shreds Shithead, and here he takes the Moore-On to task.

Enjoy kids.

And before any of you start yelling at Cao for this, let me point out that it says right at the top of this article that I, Kender, have written this, so address your complaints to me, so that I may handle them accordingly. To that end I have ordered custom made tiolet paper that will fit in my printer.

Air America is begging it’s listeners for donations.

If Air America fails, and the Democrats regain any semblance of power, can the return of the Fairness Doctrine be far behind?

For those of you that need a bit of a history lesson, let me tell you about the Fairness Doctrine.

In 1949 the FCC took the (wrongheaded IMO) view that station licensee’s were “public trustees” and as such they had a DUTY to make certain that both sides of an issue received equal airtime.

In the 80’s, under Reagans deregulation, that was tossed out. The result is Rush, Savage, Boortz, Levin and a whole host of others that are considered “Conservative” radio personalities.

Why do I bring this up?

Because Air America is getting their ass kicked in the ratings. Having already being tossed from at least two markets because Kender’s

WASHINGTON – The nation’s top military officer said Tuesday that the killing last weekend of a senior leader of the al-Qaida in Iraq organization will hurt the insurgents but perhaps only in the short term.

Air Force Gen. Richard B. Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was asked at a Pentagon news conference with Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld about the significance of killing Abdullah Abu Azzam on Sunday. Myers described him as a key figure, of greater importance than al-Qaida lieutenants killed previously.

Great news. REALLY GREAT NEWS. This man was also known as Abdallah Najim Abdallah Muhammad al-Juwairi.

“They’re going to have to go to the bench and find somebody that is probably less knowledgeable and less qualified,” Myers said. “It’s like fighting the al-Qaida network. It will have some impact, but over time they will replace people.”

Myers said Abu Azzam played a key role not only in running al-Qaida in Baghdad but also in handling its finances.

“There are others, foreign fighters, marching to the guns on a regular basis,” who can be promoted to leadership roles, Myers added, although in many cases they are less experienced at planning and executing attacks.

Rumsfeld said the top U.S. military commander in the Middle East, Gen. John Abizaid, and the top commander in Iraq, Gen. George Casey, would be in Washington this week to brief President Bush, the Congress and other on progress in Iraq and Afghanistan. They are scheduled to testify on Capitol Hill on Thursday.

It should be interesting what will come out of those meetings.

I hope the president continues to ignore the radical commie extremists of the Anti-war left.

BAGHDAD In a startling attack that appeared to have been motivated by sectarian hatred, a group of armed men burst into a primary school in a town south of Baghdad on Monday, rounded up five teachers, marched them to an empty classroom and executed them. A police official said all of those killed were Shiite.

How long do you suppose it’s going to be before they start striking at teachers in the West in a similar manner?
