In a recent article, titled "Witch! Witch! Witch!", an article ‘which’ has since mysteriously disappeared (otherwise I would happily have linked you there), an erstwhile blogger made "coded" references to the effect that SoS Condi Rice was, perhaps, being…..well…..less ‘black’ than those of her race would like and/or expect of her; perhaps not doing enough for blacks in America and in the world at large(at least, that's how I took it). As if simply being a black woman with the title "United ...
The following was a reply I made to Cactoblasta in response to his comment, copied below....I thought I would post the whole thing as an article, because I think it says at least a little something about our situation in the world.---RW There were the purges in Bosnia a few years back and the religious violence in Ambon (which continues to this day). ---Cacto That was localized violence; I'm talking about an organized mass movement. There is much more Muslim violence against others in ...
From time to frequent time, we are reminded by the MSM that, though Islamist violence (that is, violence in the name of Allah) is to be found the world over, that the vast majority of them are just kind, peace-luvvin', carnation-in-the-rifle-barrel, let's-all-join-hands-and-sing-"Kum-Ba-Ya", just-get-up-and-go-to-work-day-in-day-out-just-livin'-life folks. They tell us that Islamic Fundamentalism and the terrorist behavior it engenders is just an horrific anomaly. A mutation of that faith an...
Robert Byrd (D; WV) has said, at the beginning of our War on Terror, that we should just forget about fighting the terrorists because, in his opinion, such a war would simply never end. We'd have "enough enemies to fight until Doomsday" (that's a paraphrase). What should we do? Why, negotiate with them, of course. Of course, Doomsday is just what at least some the bad guys want, in this case. But hey; we should just sit back, take their barbaric, 12th-century crap and let whatever happens ...
Two fags are holding hands, walking on the beach, when one of them trips and falls. There, sticking out of the sand, is a Genie Lamp. Thinking how divine it would look on the mantle, he begins dusting it off. POOF! A flash of light, a puff of smoke, and out pops the Genie of the Lamp. "Greetings….thank you for freeing me from my prison; for this, I will grant you one wish; but only one, so choose carefully." The two faggots put their heads together and consider their choices. Finall...
Graduation season rolls around once more, and the hunt goes out for significant, influential names to fill the cards as inspirational speakers. According to Bill O’Reilley’s article last week, the liberal Left has been honored time and again, with (accepted) invitations for Hillary to speak the Truths As She Knows Them at Adelphi University, while Chuck Schumer’s hateful venting will doubtlessly motivate and inspire the fiery youth at Buffalo State. Barbara Boxer will spout her rhetoric at...
I work two jobs; 3 evenings a week, I work 5 hours at a Dollar General. On the counter beside the registers are boxes of those "ribbon" magnets..... red, white and blue, star-bedecked "God Bless America", "Pray for our troops", etc. Also in the box, in the interest of fairness perhaps, are ones (mainly) for those who don't support the current trend toward patriotic militarism These are plain, bland, baby-blue magnets which read "Bring our troops home safely". Nothing at all wrong with that ...
In a little over four months, five years will have passed since those dark hours on September 11th, 2001. It's already been nearly half a decade. Time flies. Since then, we've invaded Afghanistan and Iraq, two pillars of the ideal known as Islamic Terrorism. Debate that point all you want, but that's why we're there. Bin-Laden is still at large, of course, sending, to our "allies" at al-Jazeera, his infrequent messages and threats. Al-Jazeera also gleefully plays the threats and messages se...
This article, I suppose, should really be posted in the "Religion" forum, but since it involves an aspect of the "Liberal/Conservative" thing, I thought I'd post it here, in "Politics". I brought this subject up a few weeks ago in my Sunday School class, which is instructed by our church's Worship Leader, Lynne. She is also the Pastor's wife, and is very passionate in her faith. I liked what she had to say, and asked her to write it down and forward it to me for posting here. I'm waitin...
Okay, Lefites.....sorry to be the one to pour salt on yet another of your snails, but the "failed" government in Iraq is at last beginning to take shape. All it takes is time, which you are not at all willing to give. Of course, this being an AP report, they had to temper this good news with a body count, but what else can we expect from the MSM? Iraqi Leaders End Deadlock Amid Violence By QASSIM ABDUL-ZAHRA BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Iraq's president designated Shiite politician ...

Hot off the AP wire: President George W. Bush has just announced that he WILL NOT be running in the 2008 Presidential Election. That’s right, America, he will NOT! "It saddens me to know that will not be running in the next election," Bush said. "I will no longer be your President from 2009 on. It will be someone else’s time." The Democrats, having focused and based their entire platform on the defeat of Bush in ’08, are said to be experiencing emotions ranging from flabbergasted and stun...
I've been away for a while, so if someone else noted this somewhere else, please to forgive. I heard on the radio a while back that the Washington Post has learned, from certain "intelligence analysts", that we'd better think twice about attacking Iran. Yes, sirree. If we take that road, these contacts assured the Post, we can definitely expect large numbers of terror attacks on American targets and interests in the West, including and especially inside the US. Yes, I can see that as...
Caution: Broad statements and vast generalizations ahead! Good: The Rainbow flag, Iraqi flag, USSR flag Bad: (Read: tacky) The American flag (and, really, any symbols of support for the nation and/or its present leadership or policies). Good: Marx and Lenin, Mao and Castro (after all, they supported or fought in the Worldwide Socialist Revolution against the evils of Capitalism and the Imperialist Western Democracies) Bad: Washington and Jefferson, Hamilton and Adams ...
Actor Richard Belzer, Det. John Munch of NBC's "Law and Order--SVU" seems to know more about the war in Iraq than the young men fighting it. See the link for details. Belzer says American troops who say they "support the mission" are simply "uneducated and uninformed" 19- and 20-year olds "who are only in the service because they couldn't find a job". He said he's so much better informed because he has time to read 20 newspaper a day. Good for him; "money for nuthin' an' yer chicks fer free...
