Words from the President on Iran’s Unrest
With Iran in the middle of widespread unrest, I think it is important to look at what our President has said on the issue. “All who live in tyranny and hopelessness can know: the United States will not ignore your oppression, or excuse your oppressors. When you stand for your liberty, we will stand with [...]
Anti-Israel Protesters – I Don’t Get It. Yes I Do.
A violent street gang, over the course of months, randomly fires bullets at houses in a populated residential area. For months, the city asks politely for them to stop. Over time, the mayor begins to suggest that the gang has gone too far. Eventually, the police move in and strike at the leaders, and begin [...]
Advice for President-Elect Obama: International Policy
As the latest in my ongoing series of posts advising President-Elect Obama, I’d like to approach international issues. This may be a moot point, since Obama already has many international ties. Regardless, I’ll try to hit some high points. I won’t bother with advising on interactions with the palestinians, since Obama has ties to the [...]
“The Religion of Peace” isn’t Islam.
I’ve long contended that the idea of Islam being a “religion of peace” was a lie. Michelle Malkin has some photos of European muslims showing what TRUE Islam is about. Hatred, destruction, division, and holocaust. That’s what I expect from Islam. That there are many nice, peaceful people who practice Islam and contribute to a [...]
Left Wrong on WMDs Again (and Again, and Again…)
If I’ve heard it once, I’ve heard it a thousand times. The left continually says that Iraq posed no threat, that there were no Weapons of Mass Destruction, and that Hussein made no attempts to gain access to nuclear materials. None of this is true, of course, but that doesn’t stop people who have no [...]
French [Muslim] Youth Riots Continue – Media Oblivious
As I walked into the break room at work, this morning, a co-worker of mine wondered aloud what the reasons were behind the riots in France. In a carefully worded sentence, and a hushed tone, I gave him a major detail he hadn’t been aware of, and that most of the major media has been [...]
I’m No Fan of the Gaza Pullout
It really bothers me to watch the strife in Israel over Sharon’s pullout from Gaza. Israeli citizens are being pulled out of their homes as an appeasement to enemies of Israel, and only Israel is to blame. Israel has been beset by enemies on all sides since its inception thousands of years ago, and today [...]
Christopher Hitchens on Iraq
Christopher Hitchens is one of my favorite liberal commentators. He’s a true “Liberal’s Liberal” in that his liberalism is ideological by nature, and not simply the liberalism of opposition that has become so prevalent in today’s politics. He wasn’t afraid to stand up and point out that Bill Clinton was a useless liberal, in that [...]
Terrorist-Losers – Explosions Mostly Harmless
There are reports of explosions in three London tube stations. Shepherd’s Bush, Warren Street, and Oval stations are reported to have been hit by explosions, with at least one “nail bomb” included. There are also reports of a possible bus explosion, as well. I’d say it’s a good bet that Islamic/Islamicist terrorism is involved. Fox [...]
Coordinated Explosions Rock Mass Transit in London
[UPDATED]I’m sure a lot of people will try to blame George Bush for this, but you can’t expect better from them. Six explosions, coordinated to go at approximately the same time, have occurred in London. Targets included the subway system and the bus system. Early reports are at least 2 dead and 9 seriously injured. [...]
