You know you're reading complete and total crap when an article starts out with

Truth is, it can be hazardous to be poor and a person of color in North Carolina.

The author complains and whines that "people of color" are more likely to be victims due to absolutely no fault of their own. He goes on and on making the claim that every last "person of color" in North Carolina is a perfect angel and model citizen, yet they are discriminated against by the environment, government, and microscopic bacteria and viruses.

And of course, this socialist and utter racist has a solution to the racism he strongly supports sees everywhere. And if you know socialists, you know the answer: more government spending, more punishment of workers, more crushing of freedom. So what, specifically, does this racist want for his "people of color" who are prejudiced against by every single "other" person in the state?

He wants free housing, free money to buy housing, free money for community housing, free health insurance, free AIDS drugs, free money for drugs ONLY for black people, more free education (guess $9 billion a year isn't enough), free higher education for criminals, no enforcement of immigration laws, free money for black women, and extra votes for black people.

But gee, he's a "reverend," so I guess he's right, huh? Then again, he could just be another racist socialist bastard that wants to crush whitey.

On May 7, Egyptian blogger Alaa Abd El-Fatah was arrested there during a protest. As part of the world-wide response, several other bloggers have have created the "Free Alaa" blog to chronicle his ongoing detention and legal troubles. Now a lot of other bloggers are trying to start a Googlebomb so that searches for the word "Egypt" pull up the "Free Alaa" blog near the top.

If you want to help out, just link to the "Free Alaa" blog with the word "Egypt" as the link text. Google will eventually pick it up.

The "Free Alaa" blog is at http://freealaa.blogspot.com/

I don't know if more on one page helps, but in case it does:

There's more than a few people in an absolute uproar over America and its allies winning the war on terror. Michelle Malkin points out how terrorist organizations like CAIR are using this song to attack America, and how the Pentagon and others are supporting CAIR and the terrorists INSTEAD OF Americans.

Hot Air has the video. Go watch it, it's a hoot. The big complaint about America-haters everywhere is that the song supposedly glorifies killing innocent civilians and children. As usual, the left (CAIR and it's supporters) are outright lying. The song, instead, glorifies America WINNING against people who have ATTACKED them!

In the verses CAIR complains about, the Marine who does the killing talks about the "innocents" who shoot THEIR OWN children and the Marine shooting back AFTER HE IS SHOT AT. Here's the actual lyrics, as best as I could get them from listening to the video itself:

I was out in the sands of Iraq
And we were under attack
And I, well, I didn't know where to go

And the first thing that I could see was
Everybody's favorite Burger King
So I threw open the door and I hit the floor

Then suddenly, to my surprise
I looked up and I saw her eyes
And I knew it was love at first sight.

And she said, "Turban, burka, Mohammed Jihad"
"Shirpa, shirpa Bacalav"
Hadji girl I can't understand what you're saying.

And she said, "Turban, burka, Mohammed Jihad"
"Shirpa, shirpa Bacalav"
Hadji girl I love you anyway.

Then she said that she wanted me to see
She wanted me to go meet her family
But I, well I couldn't figure out how to say No.

'Cause I don't speak Arabic, so...

She took me down an old dirt trail
And she pulled up to a side shanty
And she threw open the door and I hit the floor

Just her brother and her father shot her.
"Turban, burka Mohammed Jihad"
"Shirpa, shirpa Bacalav"

They pulled out their AKs so I could see.
And they said, "Turban, burka Mohammed Jihad"
"Shirpa, shirpa Bacalav"

So I grabbed her little sister and pulled her in front of me.

Then the bullets began to fly
Blood sprayed from between her eyes
and then I laughed maniacally

Then I hid behind the TV and I
Unloaded my M-16
And I blew those little f**kers to eternity

And I said, "Turban, burka Mohammed Jihad"
"Shirpa, shirpa Bacalav"
They should have known they were f**king with the Marines

Go listen, it's a neat tune, too.

And unfortunately, the Marine has been forced to apologize and the Marine Corps is "investigating." I'm sorry, assholes, I didn't know being offensive was a crime in the Corps. I guess it's not "offensive" to shoot and kill the sorry motherf**kers, but it's offensive to make fun of them? Screw you, CAIR, and screw every one of you bastards in the Marine Corp that's even considering talking about this as a "crime" needing "action."

1 Damn, it just keeps getting worse (from the Pentagon and news sources). What's next? This? Commander: Marine, you are being discharged for conduct unbecoming a Marine. Marine: What did I do? Commander: The insurgent that was shooting at you? The one that shot you in the leg? You didn't give him a chance to finish his religious morning prayers before you shot him. That's a violation of his rights, so you're outta here. Sorry bastards. CAIR, the Pentagon, and all the media playing into this one honestly WANT the U.S. to lose. They seriously desire that the insurgents win. They should all be shot.

2 I wrote a letter to the Orlando Sentinel and got a response from CAIR. It is also on their Washington, DC website. If you are interested, mine is at: http://marinadedave.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_marinadedave_archive.html Read the 3/27 post first, then the 3/30 one.

4 Sounds like that unintelligable bit says "everybody's favorite Burger King..." I really don't understand why this video has stirred any sort of "uproar." I'm admittedly not a supporter of Bush or of this war, but I do support the Troops and all they go through for America. And these lyrics, when read in their entirety, in context, certainly aren't offensive, nor do they glorify killing "innocents" in any way. But then, people love to pull something out, twist a little, bend it to the left/right, and make a stink... It's bullshit that the guy had to apologize, utter bullshit.

Posted by: Erin Monahan at June 14, 2006 07:40 PM (fZYAo)

5 Burger King? Huh. I suppose... ? And yes, there is nothing wrong with this one. It absolutely infuriates me because those who come down on this Marine are actively working against the US in this war -- and some are in the Pentagon.

6 Someone at LGF transcribed the lyris here: http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/?entry=21040#c0059 Which may or may not be more accurate.

7 Cool, I didn't see those, that's why I tried to do it myself. I think everyone agrees with the "Burger King" line now, though.

Posted by: Ogre at June 15, 2006 02:00 PM (/k+l4)

8 I didn't think the lyrics were bad. This is the version I read at LGF...what's so bad about it? If anything it's honest. Just because CAIR doesn't like it doesn't mean this Marine has to pay a price. Darn. Why the Marines???? Why are they picking on them so much?

Posted by: Raven at June 15, 2006 09:49 PM (c/aOr)

9 your lyrics aren't exactly right I was out in the sands of Iraq And we were under attack And I, Well, I didn't know where to go And the first thing that I could see was Everybody's favorite Burger King So I threw open the door and I hit the floor Then suddenly, to my surprise I looked up and I saw her eyes And I knew it was love at first sight. And she said, "Durka, durka, Mohammed Jihad" "Shirpa, shirpa Bacalav" Hadji girl I can't understand what you're saying. And she said, "Durka, durka, Mohammed Jihad" "Shirpa, shirpa Bacalav" Hadji girl I love you anyway. Then she said that she wanted me to see She wanted me to go meet her family But I, well I couldn't figure out how to say No. 'Cause I don't speak Arabic, so...

Posted by: Ogre at June 16, 2006 01:27 PM (/k+l4)

11 Why, Raven? Because he's a Marine. That makes him EVIL in the media's eyes. They honestly hate the military and everything they stand for, no matter what they might claim.

12 Great Tune exemplifying outstanding American spirit. While standing in harms way, this young Marine afforded his cadre a much appreciated piece of humor. Though I have not earned the right to say it: HooYah! As for all the weak kneed, hollow chested, left leaning, neigh sayers out there: If you strongly believe in your position, I strongly urge you going to the Middle East. Enter Iraq and join with those you 'say' you support. Then you will truly understand the nature of these people. If they allow you to live long enough for the thought to make it through your flawed consciousness. As a group you are, in my most humble opinion, gutless finger pointers with a callous disregard for reality.

14 the difference between turban and durka is that "durka" is a word used in the comedy Team America & South Park and he was specifcally playing off that running joke

15 Aha! I didn't know that. Thanks for the insight!!!

Posted by: Ogre at June 21, 2006 01:54 AM (acZAM)

16 The line does go "durka durka," like they did in Team America: World Police. However, nobody has posted the correct line after the second time he says "and I hit the floor." After having listened to the song a number of times, it is evident that the line is "her brother and her father shouted," not "shot her"

Posted by: Q at June 21, 2006 03:38 AM (XzaEb)

17 I thought it was "shouted" the first time I heard it -- but I'm not sure where the blood came from if they didn't shoot her.

Posted by: Ogre at June 21, 2006 08:46 PM (Yw8Is)

This week Wictory Wednesday Rout the RINOs is supporting the reelection of Jean Schmidt to the House of Representatives.

Congresswoman Schmidt is a supporter of private property rights against the rising level of abuse of eminent domain by cities and states. Emiment domain is the widely criticized practice by which local governments kick you out of your home, pay you a (now very deflated) price for your house, and then hand it over to big business. Some of the rampant abuse of eminent domain has had governments pay only $1 for property worth over a million, and the City of New London charging "back rent" for citizens who exercise their legal rights and challenged the city's eminent domain action in court. Congresswoman Schmidt is commited to ending the abuse of local governments by curtailing eminent domain. more...

Not really, this time.

I do fish now and again, just for the fun of it. And yes, I've eaten a good number of the fish I catch, too. But I think it's time for me to go into the fishing business in North Carolina. Why? Because it appears the government thinks that there is no need for ANY capital investment in the industry and that the state should pay the capital costs because otherwise people might not catch fish.

If that sounds insane to you, you're not alone. However, it is the standard, typical, and usual trend towards socialism in North Carolina and elsewhere in what used to be America. The government (using taxpayer money) has just discovered that 75% of the waterfront access points that support commercial fishing are privately owned -- and they're terrified about that.

The government wants to do as only socialist government can -- they want to own the commercial fishing access points to ensure they still exist because if the government didn't own them, no one would be able to fish. Hey, it's government logic, not mine.

So, the only next logical point, if the government is going to own the entry points, is for government to own the ships, too. Because using their own logic, if they don't, then people won't fish. So I'm going to start my new fishing business with the government paying for everything. And I plan on still having lots of time to blog because I'm sure the next program will be to pay me NOT to fish because too many people will be making use of the government entry points and boats.

Yes, there still are a few elected Republicans left that actually want smaller government and lower taxes. One is a member of the North Carolina State Senate (which has literally NEVER had a Republican majority, ever), Senator Phil Berger.

He has filed Senate Bill 1980. This bill would have the state give back a small portion of the nearly $2 BILLION surplus that the state collected this year by giving each taxpayer $100 plus $25 for each dependent. Imagine that -- the state giving an overcollection back to the people who paid it.

But this was introduced by a Republican, so the iron fists of the North Carolina Democrat government will ensure it gets assigned to a committee, and the rulers of the state will never permit the bill to see the light of day -- just like any other bill that would take money from the state and give it to people who work for it. You see, the Democrats have already spent the overpayment.

Wow. Imagine that. Of course, if you're in the leadership positions of either party, or Congressman Jefferson (or Kennedy), you can't. You might remember the absolute yelling and screaming that happened when the FBI DARED to search a congressman's office (with advice and consent from the Judicial branch) when looking for evidence of a FELONY.

Well, Representative Sue Myrick (NC) has signed on to a resolution that actually states that Congress is not above the law. I'm amazed that such a resolution needs to be put in place, but it clearly does. Nicely done, Ms. Myrick and Rep. Ginny Brown from Florida.

Have you heard about House Bill 2213? It's a bill in the North Carolina House that has 88 co-sponsors. The entire House only has 120 members -- so that's 73% of the House that SPONSORED the bill. You might think that a bill with 73% support before debate might move along quickly -- but then you'd be thinking of somewhere other than the NC House.

You see, the North Carolina House is ruled with an iron fist by Jim Black. He decides, literally, everything that will see the light of day in the House chamber. His name is not on the list of 88 co-sponsors, so he's ensuring the bill sits in the Judiciary committee and will not be heard on the floor of the House (of course, that might be part of the reason is has 88 co-sponsors).

So, what is this bill that's supported by over 73% of the House (and over 85% of the people of North Carolina) that Jim Black is working so hard to oppose?

An Act To Amend the constitution of north carolina to prohibit condemnation of private property to be owned by other private owners for economic development, and to provide for the prompt payment of just compensation with right of trial by jury in all condemnation cases.

The Democrat-Led North Carolina government continues to wield it's absolute power and control over the subjects of the state -- this time it's in regard to hospitals -- and this one shows how horrible gigantic government can be.

News reports show that The NC Association of Nurse Anesthetists spent time taking a survey to find out if there was a "shortage" of Nurse Anesthetists in North Carolina. And no, it wasn't for economic purposes, it was to demand things from the General Assembly.

After their own survey claimed that there was no "shortage," this group then lobbied the General Assembly to demand that the state NOT permit anyone to HELP Nurse Anesthetists. Seriously! Instead of just not getting people to help them, this group is demanding that the state put people in jail who attempt to work as Nurse Anesthetists Assistants in North Carolina.

The last line of this article is the telling line:

Only a few states now allow anesthesiology assistants to practice.

As long as there's people that think they're deserved everything, there will be greedy bastards who want to take more money from someone, anyone, who earned it for themselves. And no, they don't want to lift a finger for it, and yes, they're more than willing to use sympathy as an excuse to take more and more.

Fox News is reporting on some alleged "insurance delays" in handouts payouts for damage from hurricane Katrina. A few of the examples show that apparently the news reporter and the greedy scum-suckers "victims" are both victims of the type of economics taught in government schools: I'm owed everything.

Eric Moskau whines because he didn't get over a million dollars in insurance settlements. Of course, he leaves out the idea that Allstate DOESN'T INSURE AGAINST FLOOD DAMAGES.

This greedy bastard also wants more just because he has insurance. You see, he took out a loan for about $600,000 to buy his house. When the insurance paid, he thought HE should get the money and not the bank. In other words, he spent $0 on the house (minus downpayment, if any) and wanted the entire insurance check to go in his pocket.

Another greedy bastard, Pascal Warner, did even better but still wants more! His insurance payouts paid off all his mortgage debts AND left him with $21,000! I'd be ecstatic that I came out ahead! But no, he whines and complains he only has enough for supplies and not labor.

What these greedy bastards want is for the insurance company to completely pay off their debts AND rebuild their houses! They're not just asking for the value of the house, they want TWICE the value of the house -- one time to pay the debt and one time to build them a brand new house -- which they'd own debt-free.

Sorry, greedy bastards, that's not how capitalism works. But keep whining and complaining to the press -- if the right politician hears you, they'll take a pile of my money to give to you to buy your vote. Gee, I almost wish a hurricane would hit my house so I can win the lottery, too.
