#1  Congratulations! Very nice.

#2  Well done, Chuck! You sounded civil, well-reasoned, and very well informed.

#3  Even though O-bow-ma declared a national emergency, only a fraction of the promised doses have been delivered. Yet, the administration is still committed to sending 10% of the U.S. supply to 'developing' nations.

Think they'll thank us?

#3  Too late, we've aleady been buggered. Washington has already sold us out to China. Try buying anything at Home Depot or Loews made in the States. It is virtually IMPOSSIBLE! Everything is made in China.

Home Front: WoT
Steyn: Tragedy or Scandal?
Posted by: tipper || 11/16/2009 01:36 || Comments || Link || [2 views] Top|| File under:

#1  The thing nobody talk about, is that---prior to rampage---Nidal haven't done anything most US muslims haven't done.
Posted by: g(r)omgoru || 11/16/2009 5:56 Comments || Top||

#2  Again, Mr. Steyn is spot on to the issue at hand.

We have the same people campaigning to allow the moslem call to prayers blasted over loud speakers suing to prevent the display of a cross on public property. And we have the same people fretting over a condor egg and the value of that life supporting abortion on demand.

I am rereading Nicholai Machiavelli's "The Prince" it is not some devious book of chicanery and evil spells, it is a treatise on diplomacy in hostile world. One quote, early in the book stands out. I wish Obama would read that book instead of that papp and drivel he reads.

Nicholai said:

"Ignoring discord to avoid war only delays the war to your disadvantage."

#3  What happened is not a “tragedy” but a national scandal, already fading from view.

And this will continue to be the case as long as there are those who perpetuate the myth that there are 'good' Muslims.

Face it, folks. There aren't. Islam is a religion of violence, hatred and death.

Here's what the The American Muslim Armed Forces and Veteran Affairs Council had to say about the massacre. Please see if you can spot the 'problem' with this statement:

"The American Muslim Armed Forces and Veteran Affairs Councail (AMAF and VAC) condemns in the strongest terms the attack on soldiers at Fort Hood, Texas resulting in the murder of at least a dozen soldiers and the wounding of many others. We express our deepest condolences to the victims and their families. We join the Community of Fort Hood, Texas in their mourning.

Islam holds the human soul in high esteem, and considers the attack against innocent human beings a grave sin. This is a criminal act that is now best dealt with by the law enforcement community."

#4  And, by the way, the authorities and Congress have been aware of the above organization's 'disturbing connections to terrorism' for more than 6 years.

Feel safe, now?

#5  We don't need members of a religious sect in our military when their so-called holy book tells them to kill us. I heard there are some 5,000 of them in the military and, for that, we just lost 13 soldiers. They are not worth the risk. Boot them all out before somebody else gets killed. I don't care how much they profess to love our country. I don't give a rat's ass how exemplary their service may or may not be because nobody knows which one of them will be the next to go off the rails. Get them out.

What's more important, the political considerations or the lives or our service members? OK, don't answer that. I have a bad feeling that I already know the answer.

Further, they knew he was in contact with a militant imam in Yemen. Think about it: in the bad old days of the cold war if an army major was in unauthorized, unsupervised contact with a known KGB operative what would have happened?

Home Front: Culture Wars
Sarah Palin: Really? Still Making Things Up?
The book tour starts this week, and I look forward to it! I'm most looking forward to meeting many of you, shaking your hands, and telling you,"Thanks for loving America." I'll give you a scoop here and tell you what's on the book's Dedication Page – it's dedicated to you – Patriots – who love the U.S.A. as much as I do.

Amazingly, but not surprisingly, the AP somehow nabbed a copy of the book before it was released. They're now erroneously reporting on the book's contents and are repeating many of the same things they spewed during the campaign and afterwards. We've heard 11 writers are engaged in this opposition research, er, "fact checking" research! Imagine that – 11 AP reporters dedicating time and resources to tearing up the book, instead of using the time and resources to "fact check" what's going on with Sheik Mohammed's trial, Pelosi's health care takeover costs, Hasan's associations, etc. Amazing.

We'll keep setting the record straight, and we'll keep reminding some in the media that Americans are very tired of their non-objective reporting. A great, recent post that accomplishes this is a Conservatives4Palin post. It's got some nice fact checking included. As always, they did a great job holding some of the media accountable for spreading more misinformation and for making things up. You can read it here. Enjoy!

And I can't wait to see you! God bless the fight for freedom! Keep up the great work, Patriots who love this country.

#1  Damn, this woman must be more dangerous than I thought...
Posted by: Cornsilk Blondie || 11/16/2009 8:13 Comments || Top||

#2  She is, CB. She knows how to shoot and I'm coming to the conclusion that the Tree of Liberty is in need of watering.

Posted by: AlanC || 11/16/2009 8:22 Comments || Top||

#3  Nah, she can't be dangerous. I mean, otherwise the MSM would have to try and take her down -- oh wait ...
Posted by: Steve White || 11/16/2009 9:42 Comments || Top||

#4  Having the AP fact check is oxymoronic isn't it.

You have to understand the concept of "facts" before you can check them.

Remember what St.Winny the Churchill once said:

"Facts to liberals are what garlic is to a vampire."

#7  Ditto, but not suprised.

#8  Mine either. I mean, why would she bother with Kaliphornia? But I'm thinking I could get a pretty cheap flight to Albuquerque.

#9  Dang, I will just have to invite her and her family to our log house, as long as they bring an extra turkey. Wonder if they like whale meat. We will use Deacon's recipe.

#12  In the middle of a timetravel SciFi novel one almost thinks the left got some document from the future and Sarah spears their asses.

#13  The left, the MSM, and the RINO's are terrified of Sarah Palin. She's real and she connects with the people on a level they can only dream of.
