What's the definition of irony? Let me help: 1.) At Fort Hood, a US Army Major - of Islamic heritage - killed 13 people, wounding dozens more, shouting "God is Great!" in Arabic, as he fired. He attended a mosque associated with radical Muslims; he'd expressed great admiration for Muslim suicide bombers. He even tried contacting al-Qaeda. Apparently, his activities were flagged for months by authorities, but it seems no one wanted to risk being accused of bigotry. ...
Here's the story: "Giant iceberg spotted south of Australia SYDNEY (AFP) – A monster iceberg has been spotted drifting towards Australia in what scientists Wednesday called a once-in-a-century event. Australian glaciologist Neal Young pinpointed the slab, which is some 19 kilometres (12 miles) long, about 1,700 kilometres south of the country, using satellite imagery . He said he was not aware of such a large iceberg being found in the area since the days when 19th century...
I’ve often heard and read of the supposed “Neocon agenda”; that ultra-secret plan of all us “crazy religious right-wing, wing nut” conservatives, to yoke the rest of the nation to our old-fashioned, “out-dated” ways and ideas. Well, even if that were true, would it really be so very bad? After all, those values made America the strongest and most powerful nation on Earth, in much less than 200 years of her history. Are conservative ideal...
Friends and Fellow Patriots; I may have come up with way to carry our protests through the Holidays and winter months, and have presented my idea to the members of my group, The American Patriot Council, Washington/Jefferson/Hancock Chapter, who have agreed to implement it. As we approach the Christmas Season, with its long-standing and beloved traditions of gift-giving and the sending of greeting cards, I propose the following: As many patriots as possible could send their Congressper...
From AOL News: "(July 28) -- Anyone who listens to National Public Radio is used to hearing funding credits -- brief mentions of people whose donations make the broadcaster's programming possible. In the past few weeks, NPR began airing one that credits the estate of a Richard Leroy Walters, "whose life was enriched by NPR, and whose bequest seeks to encourage others to discover public radio." Robert Siegel, host of NPR's 'All Things Considered,' was curious about the donor, so he searched t...
July 4 th , on a local TV news report, a gentleman expressed mild amusement with the large gathering of “Tea Party” goers (about 2,000 people) assembled on the grounds at Wheeling, WV’s Wesbanco Arena, there protesting, among other things, out-of-control government spending . He thought “it was funny, because how many of them (here today) cashed their stimulus checks?” Well, I can say, honestly and proudly, that I was there that day, and t...
President Obama’s choice of Judge Sonia Sotomayor to replace Justice David Souter is yet another attempt at pandering to a goodly swath of voters. Latinos are no doubt happy with his choice; I’m sure they’ll vote accordingly. Sotomayor , however, describes herself as “the perfect product of Affirmative Action; (I’m) an Affirmative Action baby . My test scores were not as high as some of my colleagues at Princeton and Yale…” ...
I've been at this blogging game for several years, now; in fact, I was introduced to the blogosphere right here, on good ole JU. Thanks, Drag! &nbs...
Random Thoughts: After Obama’s first speech before Congress, even conservative and Republican pundits and leaders couldn’t wait to jump on the “History-in-the Making” Obama Praisewagon. Will this endless worship never end? It’s gotten old. The liberals are even worse, of course. Although, after eight years of despising and denigrating the President with barely-contained hysterics and outrage in the name of “objective journalism”, I suppose one could ...
It becomes ever clearer where the priorities of the Obama Administration lie; not satisfied with merely cutting the defense budget---in wartime, mind you---by $55 billion, the Justice Dept. recently, and very quietly, moved agents from counter-terrorism to anti-fraud. That's right; instead of watching for terrorists who want to kill you and destroy our nation, they'll instead be looking for people (especially rich people, bet on it)who are stealing money. &nbs...
It's pitiful, really, how shameless some will be, when it comes to the war of ideas. Truth and clarity are often secondary considerations, when it comes to obtaining funds and winning hearts and minds. For example: To be considered “hungry” in America, you must miss at least….one meal a month. That’s right, that’s the standard; one meal in 30 days, to be considered “hungry” by the Dept. of Health and Human Resources. By that criterion,...
You know, the Nazis actually passed an "anti-kitsch law", prohibiting stuff like this......(click link) Wonder if the Obama Regime will do the same? (By the way, you do realize what the first item displayed is, right?)
I'm listening to the news, and they just did a story on a company recalling all these different kinds of crackers. Now...what's up with that? The day before they swear in a black man for President of the US, they go out, roundin' up a buncha Crackers! I just don' like it......
Posted by Chuck58, on the Gathering of Eagles forum, the Eagles Nest: Thanks to Colonel Harry Riley, for the find. London Daily Mail editorial 1/6/2009 Obama's Victory--A British view A victory for the hysterical Oprah Winfrey, the mad racist preacher Jeremiah Wright, the US mainstream media who abandoned any sense of objectivity long ago, Europeans who despise America largely because they depend on her, comics who claim to be dangerous and fearless but woul...
