Terrorist Appeasement

Well that sure didn't take long (hat tip to Tomslick).

Dozens of masked Hamas gunmen took over Gaza City's central square on Saturday and announced they would not stop attacks on Israel, despite Israel's ongoing withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.

So let's see...Sharon forcibly removed Jewish people from an area of land where they had been living for decades and gave that land to terrorists, in the hopes that the terrorists would then stop blowing up innocent people in Israel.

The response from the terrorists is exactly as I expected, but hoped it would not be: The terrorists are claiming victory and have renewed strength for more attacks, vowing to not stop until all of Israel and all Jewish people are destroyed.

Folks, terrorists are NOT reasonable people. They CANNOT be "talked to" and reasoned with. They want you dead, period.

Flame-Point Siamese

This is often referred to as a "flame-point" Siamese cat. I have heard that term used often, and I have owed a couple that people, including Humane Societies, have called flame-point Siamese. I really like the Siamese temperament and usually the colors (but not the really skinny ones, ewe).

However, there really is no such breed. According to the Cat Fanciers' Association, the coloring of a Siamese should not be that way, and it's really a mix of different breeds.

Well that's fine, because I always get my pets from the shelters and the human societies (and Cat Houses), so I don't really care they're official, I just like them.

I just thought you might like to know.

Harvey's Away

Harvey of Bad Example is away from his blog for the weekend. While he's gone, he wants you to play with (his) body parts. Oh, I know it's silly and perhaps even just wrong. But hey, the site IS named "Bad Example," and it does have a tagline of "A celebration of things kids shouldn't try at home."

You Don't Speak For Me Cindy

In case you're wondering if the recent developments in the Cindy I'm-a-tool Sheehan's situation have changed the plans of others (because the world does revolve around her, according to the FMSM and her), please note that they have not:

"We are sorry to learn of the illness facing Cindy Sheehan's mother. Sheehan's spokeswoman has indicated Cindy plans to return to Crawford, Texas in the next 24 to 48 hours. Whether or not she returns, the "You Don't Speak for Me, Cindy" Tour will continue as originally planned. The issue here is the fact that the servicemembers and their families have not had their voices heard during the past weeks of Ms. Sheehan's vigil. They support the troops AND the mission they are serving in. We are going to bring that voice to Crawford, Texas - and we invite people from around the nation to join our caravan and meet us for the super rally in Crawford, Texas on Saturday, August 27th."

Signed,

Melanie Morgan
Chairman, Move America Forward

Statesmen in North Carolina?

No, sorry to get your hopes up with that title. I'd like to use this article to point out that we are, in fact, a representative republic, and NOT a democracy -- at least we're not supposed to be.

The article (and others) favorably mention a poll that shows 61% of the people in the state want the North Carolina Legislature to continue to take money from individuals and give them to big businesses (so-called "economic incentives"). Of course, the poll was done by "North Carolina Economic Developers Association," so the results are certainly very questionable.

This is where statesmen should step in. Real statesmen, elected officials who are true to their job and understand how a representative republic is supposed to work, would reply with statements about how it is not the job of government to steal from one person to give to companies.

One opponent of the measures brought up the fact that he employs several people and pays taxes, but he doesn't get $4 million for "incentives" -- a very valid point. One problem with incentives is that the government gets to decide which companies they support and which ones they do not. That is NOT a free market.

However, some will respond, "the majority of the people want it, so we're going to do it." That is just plain wrong. I'll go ahead and use Rush Limbaugh's example that I heard many years ago -- if Democracy truly is just the majority decision, if there's 4 men and 1 woman in a room and 3 men want to rape the woman, that's okay, because it was a majority decision.

What we need today to fix this country are statesmen -- people who will do the right thing, no matter which way the wind is blowing. We need people who will stand up and tell people that they support the Constitution, no matter what polls say, no matter what the "majority" say, and no matter what anyone else says.

Anyone know any statesmen we can elect so we can have our country back?

Oh dear. If they can make this apply to battery-powered cars, it's going to give people a whole new excuse to drink heavily.

Hanoi Jane's Brother

I'm sure many of you remember Hanoi Jane, supporting the enemy during wartime. Of course, it was really just a "police action," I know. But you remember how hard she worked for communists to try and get the US to lose the war, while still living and taking money from people in the US. It seems her long-lost brother has surfaced in England.

To let you know how insidious and deceitful Islam can be, just look at this fellow. Muhammad (so he claims) went to England in 1994 claiming political asylum from persecution in Saudi Arabia. England let him stay because he claimed he could be killed if he were sent back to Saudi Arabia. So how does he repay England?

By running a web site and broadcasting on the open airwaves that all British troops should be killed. If that's not sedition, I don't know what is. The British are said to be considering talking with him and deporting him.

Now I'm all for free speech, and I can see where you have to be very careful in crossing that line of what's permitted -- but actively promoting and encouraging murder of troops? Not just being an ass and making protest signs while collecting welfare checks, but actively telling people to assassinate British troops.

If he is going to be killed or jailed if he's sent back to Saudi Arabia, I'll help collect the funds for his plane flight back.

Jews Remove Jews

I don't get it.

I'm sorry, this is just wrong.

The Israeli government removing it's own citizens from their own houses to give land to terrorists -- it's not right. I sure hope Sharon knows what he's doing.

ACLU says YOU are a terrorist.

"[Anyone who prays] believe[s] that they answer to a higher power, in my opinion. Which is the kind of thinking that you had with the people who flew the airplanes into the buildings in this country, and the people who did the kind of things in London."

The first part of that quote is just stupid -- yes, of course someone who prays believes in a higher power. The second part is just outlandish -- if you believe in a higher power, you're a terrorist! How's that for logic? That would include Christians, Jews, Hindus, Wiccans, Earth-Firsters, any anyone who believes in a higher power. I bet you didn't know that everyone, including naturalists, were terrorists, did you?

Well, according to the spokesman for the ACLU in Louisiana, you are. This statement came about while the ACLU was suing a school board in Louisiana for daring to pray at their meetings. Notice, however, that this statement has absolutely NOTHING to do with government or government-sponsored prayer -- lunatic Joe Cook simply made the blanket statement, which supports the ACLU's position, that ANYONE who believes in a higher power is a terrorist.

This is the same ACLU that wants people thrown in jail for saying a prayer at a football game. This is the same group of communists that want people jailed for saying the Lord's Prayer.

The ACLU is NOT American. They do not stand for civil rights. They do NOT stand for liberty. They were started to throw out the representative republic in America and replace it with communism. They are actively hostile towards anything remotely associated with Christianity, because Christianity opposes communism. They support jailing people for saying the Lord's Prayer, but they want to force others to listen to "Wiccan blessings."

Do not support the ACLU, because they hate you, and they might be coming after you next. This was part of the Stop The ACLU Blogburst. If you would like to participate please Register At Our Portal. Pretty simple. We will add you to the blogroll, and send you the rest of the info you will need. Almost 100 sites already onboard!

Muliculturalism Attacks Again

Once again we have a news story that shows how multiculturalism, besides being just stupid, is physically injuring and killing United States citizens. Last time it was a father of 2 and a schoolteacher killed. This time it was a 15-year old girl who's now in critical condition.

People, we have a problem in this country with illegal immigration, whether you or the politicians want to admit it or not. In the uniquely American society, it is simply not acceptable to get drunk and drive. However, in other cultures, this is seen as a common occurrence, and even encouraged! In particular, the Mexican culture reviles "machoness," and the more you can drink, the more you are "accepted."

We cannot have people coming to this country and bringing their culture with them. Our culture really is better. We need to lockdown our damn borders. I'm with The Gun Toting Liberal on this one: deploy our military to protect our borders! The local police and mayors refuse to fix this problem, it's time for the federal government to actually do one of the few things they are supposed to do!

So what will happen to this illegal immigrant who put a 15-year old innocent girl in the hospital because he was driving drunk? The last guy got probation and put back on the street. In case you're wondering, there were three FATAL DUI cases in that county this year (Brunswick). All THREE were illegal immigrants with previous DUI CONVICTIONS.

Sue Myrick (R-NC member of Congress) has written to the Office of Homeland Security to ask why North Carolina has only 1 officer assigned to deport the estimated 300,000 illegal immigrants in North Carolina. That's a nice start, Ms. Myrick, but that's not enough.

If Sue Myrick wants to be governor of North Carolina, this would be a great way to start -- get us 500 deportation officers and start deporting these criminals -- and start with the damn ones who are already arrested!

Hundreds Cheer Wasteful Spending

In Charlotte yesterday, hundreds of people, many at the request of their uptown employers, cheered and supported spending less money on police and law enforcement, supported unlimited higher taxes, and celebrated potentially spending even more taxpayer money to directly benefit private business.

At issue here is giving over $100 million in taxpayer funds to a private business so that the private business may profit. The rally was held "uptown," where many businesses who also live off the taxpayer dole gave employees time off to show up and appear to celebrate and support this utterly irresponsible and wasteful spending.

In this case, it was support for SPENDING for the "Nascar Hall of Fame." As the left normally does, they confused support for Nascar with support for wasteful spending and higher taxes -- so they managed to convince a lot of people to support the Hall of Fame -- without realizing they were also supporting higher taxes to pay for the damn thing.

Once again, the left shows their desire to buy toys without having to actually work for them -- instead they take money from working people to build their own playgrounds. It's wrong, plain and simple. Government does not exist to buy things for private businesses, and it's wrong any time government gives money to a private business.

If this Hall of Fame is such a wonderful idea, and such a huge money-maker, why won't business build it for themselves and make money? Because it's NOT a money-maker, and government has become much to willing to just give away tax dollars to anyone who asks.

This is today's Democrat Party values: steal from the poor and give to the rich.

Jeanine Pirro for Senate

There are apparently some challengers for Hillary (D-anystate) Clinton for election to the US Senate for New York. Everyone knows how many Democrats live in New York (except Hillary, she's from Arkansas), so I'm not sure any Republican has a chance. However, Jeanine Pirro has tossed her hat in the ring.

Now she doesn't have a blog, so that's one strike against her However, The Alliance noticed that she didn't have a slogan for her campaign on her website and was wondering if we could help her out. Well of course!

So here's the top 10 suggestions from Ogre's Politics and Views for campaign slogans for Jeanine Pirro 2006 for US Senate:

#10: Vote Pirro -- She's not Hillary!
#9: Let's have a Senator for New York that's from New York.
#8: Pirro -- because she won't hang condoms on a Christmas Tree and call it wonderful.
#7: Pirro -- the New York Senator who will serve 6 years, not 2.
#6: Pirro: the only candidate in the race who's husband hasn't been disbarred.
#5: Vote Pirro -- She's not running for President!
#4: Pirro: A true moderate for all moderate New Yorkers.
#3: Vote Pirro -- the candidate that can tell when her husband is telling lies to her and the whole damn country.
#2: Pirro: because her husband won't be trying to hog the news cameras during every news conference.

And finally, the #1 campaign slogan for Jeanine Pirro:
#1: Vote Pirro: Do you really want to vote for Hillary again?

Marine Student Fined For Being Marine

Nice story out of Texas today. It seems a Marine was told he had to pay a fine for being in the Marines. He was denied in-state tuition from a community college because he had spent years in Iraq. He has current and active bank accounts in Texas; a voter registration, and a TX driver's license -- but no in-state tuition, so the Community College doesn't consider him a resident.

Here's a tip for you, Carl Basham: tell them you're from Mexico. If that doesn't work, you're free to come to North Carolina and tell the community college here you're from Mexico -- that gets you "in-state" tuition rates in this state.

Education Responsibility

This week's Christian Views Symposium is a doosy. There's a letter written by Jeff of Random Acts of Kindness that says in part:

It is fundamentally unfair to rely on other peopleÂ’s money to pay for a childÂ’s education. The primary source of funding should come from the parents who have children using the service. If we canÂ’t ask parents to help pay for their childrenÂ’s education, how in the world can we expect other people without children to pay even more for it?

That's quite a "radical" position to take in today's socialist mindset. I'm sure that many of my good readers are already discounting this entire post, or hoping that I will point out how radical or looney this person is. After all, isn't school "for the children?"

Lennie asks some questions about that letter this week:

1. What is responsibility of the Parent in paying for their childÂ’s education?
2. What is responsibility of the Society in paying for all childrens education?
3. Do you believe your perspective is different if you are a Christian?

Pfizer Products Suck

I noticed the news in a couple of places now that the city of New London not only wants to take land from one private citizen and give it to another (and has the blessing of the US Supreme Court via Kelo vs. New London), but now they want the people whose land they are taking to pay rent!

Yes, not only will they screw you, but if you DARE to fight city hall, not only will you lose, but you will pay a cash FINE for attempting to resist them! I'm quite sure the next step, if it hasn't already been taken, will be for the city to sue the homeowners for legal fees, too!

Once again, this is far beyond wrong. If I own property, I own it. Anyone who wants it from me can try and take it, but you're not getting it while I still live. THAT's the spirit of this country. FREEDOM is what this country is all about. But more and more unelected royalty and even elected corrupt officials do not like freedom and individuals, so they try and destroy them.

Grau, over at Frizzen Sparks, has an idea -- boycott Pfizer products. Why Pfizer? Because that's the company that is going to be given these private citizens' land.

He's posted a list of all Pfizer products. He's also posted Pfizer's contact information in case you want to write them a letter. He suggests using not using "you f-ing roach felching bastards" in your letter.

I say again, "Where is my country?"

Blame Bush

An actual conversation this morning between the Ogre and the toothless gas station attendant:

TW (Toothless Wonder): That'll be $43.72.
Ogre (while handing credit card): Whew, that's quite a bit, huh?
TW (while taking said credit card): You're using the gold card, right?
Ogre: Not much longer with prices like these!
TW: It's Bush's fault.
Ogre:
TW: You know, if we'd just get out of there, it would be back to normal.
Ogre:
TW: My Mom's gas prices never went down -- we'll be up to $2.75 before Friday.
Ogre: How... Did you say this is Bush's fault?
TW: Oh yes, that whole mess is just about oil -- you know, the rich get richer, we poor get poorer.
Ogre:
TW: I think we'll be over $3.00 real soon.
Ogre: If it's about oil then why...
TW: Oh, I don't know, I don't keep up with all that stuff.
Ogre:
TW: Thank you, come again.
Ogre:

I can only hope that such an incredibly ignorant fool that either refuses to learn or is incapable of learning doesn't actually have the brainpower to figure out how to vote.

New Word Usage Fines

It seems the theme of lunatic judges continues here. A judge just ruled that calling someone "Farm Boy" will cost you $500 and 30 days in jail. Well, if you are white and the person you're calling "Farm Boy" is black, that is.

This is just damn insane. This is just total lunacy, plain and simple. There is no way anyone is going to convince me that a 30-day sentence in jail is justified for WORDS. This is just plain wrong. Where in the world is my country?

In this case, the judge ruled that, despite the black construction worker calling the white construction worker "Snoopy," that when the white construction worker called the black construction worker "Boy" and "Farm Boy," that is was suddenly a so-called "hate crime" and was offensive and this new fangled BS thought crime called "ethnic intimidation."

The assanine lottery-lawsuit driven black construction worker was SO intimidated over being called "Farm Boy" that he quit his job and sought psychiatric help! He couldn't sleep at night because someone who HE called a name called him "Boy!"

Crap like this really makes me want to start hitting people with 2x4s really hard -- starting with the moron who claims he is a judge. No word yet on when the mentally incompetent black construction worker will file his lottery lawsuit against the construction company so he can try and get some cash.

The thought police are active here, in North Carolina -- watch what you think.

Bou's Boys

Boudicca, of Boudicca's Voice is looking for a new car. However, she says that she needs something "family size" that will get "30 mpg." She had pretty much given up hope.

Then tony (in comments to my 250 mpg Automobiles post) said that she should consider VW's Passat -- 1.8L turbo-4 version with a MANUAL tranny, of course. I went to their web site, and you cannot get a 2006 Passat with a 1.8L engine, the smallest is a 2.0L. Strangely enough, the automatic transmission is an option for $1,075 (yay!). So, Bou's going to have to look for previous model year Passat to get the 1.8L (or drop one in herself, I suppose).

However, she's still worried that the vehicle will not be large enough for "3 soon to be grown boys in the back." Bou, boys can fit lots of places:

Blog War, Jr.

It seems there was a kidnapping in the Blogosphere. One Nick Queen kidnapped Harvey. The initial demands were relatively weak, but they were quickly refused.

Then the real fighting started. The kidnapping quickly escalated in a real battle. There's even rumors of viking kittens being brought to bear.

Some people have come out in support for Nick Queen. Others have denounced Nick as a terrorist blogger. There's even rumors of a possible rescue attempt in the works.

The sides appear to be drawn. Being an Ogre, I can quickly pledge my allegiance -- to the highest bidder, of course! It has already been revealed that Nick Queen is flush with links, so he appears to have more links in hand, ready to sell. Harvey, on the other hand, has a really big cool tank on his side. Ah, decisions, decisions...
