Whatever the perceived shortcomings of Ted Cruz and his hardy band of stalwarts, they've performed a remarkable public service by highlighting the fate that awaits all who rub wrongly the translucently thin skin of King Barack the Petulant.
A skinless president in a sandpaper world...
The Spartans may have had their shields, Native Americans their tomahawks and arrows, the Samurai may have wielded his sword with all the deadly grace of a tiger in mid-attack, but pound for pound, nothing comes close to the audacious stupidity of "Barrycades" and people in pointy little Smokey the Bear hats, poised to protect America's monuments from law-abiding citizens.
Welcome to liberal utopia, where barriers are not erected against terrorists or illegal aliens on our nation's borders, but rather against citizens, and where wheelchair-bound veterans enroute to honor their comrades face tighter security than terrorists enroute to murder a US Ambassador. This is where up is down, wrong is right, illegality is celebrated as progress, and where Constitutionalism is derided as racist. No longer relegated to the fever swamps of academic fancy, utopia has acquired real estate and made known its demands.
"Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual..." the First Lady warned us, and she wasn't just whistling Alinsky either. Under King Barack's Reign of Error, your life is no longer your own, for you are now commanded to enter into private contracts by virtue of your simple existence on the planet. Why? Because our Sovereign and his fellow travelers are compassionate, of course. Their hearts bleed for you,...almost as much as your pocketbook will bleed for them.

Your life is no longer your own, for you are now commanded to enter into private contracts by virtue of your simple existence on the planet, and living in the USA.
[Dawn] WITH the country's politicianship failing to provide clarity on who the TTP is and what it represents, perhaps it is a good thing that the TTP speaks for itself so frequently. Because each time a TTP leader speaks, he underlines exactly why the state cannot afford to compromise with militancy and terrorism. Shahidullah Shahid -- the latest in a line of TTP spokespersons who seem to have extraordinary freedom to ring up and talk to whoever they want, whenever they want -- has told the BBC that the Beautiful Downtown Peshawar ...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly known as the North-West Frontier Province), administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire. church bombing was in accordance with the Sharia. Quite how this is possible or what is the logic behind this claim remains a mystery, and perhaps mercifully so. Pakistain has had more than enough of demagogues using the media soapbox to spread their twisted, hate-filled ideas.
The TTP believes that violence against ordinary civilians, innocent men, women and kiddies, is not only acceptable, but religiously ordained. Where, exactly, does that leave the possibility of compromise with the TTP?
What Shahidullah Shahid's claim does under-line though is a central fact: the TTP believes that violence against ordinary civilians, innocent men, women and kiddies, is not only acceptable, but religiously ordained. Where, exactly, does that leave the possibility of compromise with the TTP? To the proponents of dialogue, how are so-called misguided souls to be brought back to the path of responsible citizenship if their beliefs are fundamentally rooted in violence and a twisted version of religion? In their desperation to negotiate with myrmidons, the politicianship has ended up obscuring the ugly and unacceptable nature of militancy and terrorism here. Unwise as dialogue may have been as the preferred option at this stage, the politicianship has compoun-ded the error by downplaying before the public the threat that the TTP poses and its true face. If a bombing like the one at the Peshawar church can be justified by a TTP leader, why should the country allow such men to continue to spread their poison under the garb of peace talks and a deal? The politicianship has demonstrated clarity -- on talks -- without any real understanding till now. It's time some understanding of the real facts was shown.

[Dawn] MILITANCY poses a serious threat to the security and stability of Pakistain. While the government and various state institutions are trying to respond in their own way and according to their own capacity, persistent ideological, political and operational ambiguities about the nature and level of militancy not only compound the problem but also add to its intensity.
One critical aspect of this threat, which is largely ignored by the Pak state and society, is the myrmidons' media that is thriving right under the nose of the law enforcement agencies in Pakistain. A wide range of radical and myrmidons' publications are easily available at news stalls across the country. The Death Eaters also use other means of communications, especially the internet, FM radios, CDs and DVDs to reach a wider audience.
These communication tools might be more effective in some areas than the print media given the poor literacy rate and other contributing factors. However,

[Dawn] Drones are unmanned aircrafts. They are called unmanned because they are actually manned by women. So one can say drones are women-manned aircrafts. This is done to insult the conservative sensibilities of our brothers in the tribal areas where, of course, there are no women.
The first drone attack to take place in Pakistain was actually in 1024AD. It was fired by a Rajput stooge of the Jews on the army of Mahmud Ghaznavi who was liberating the Somnath temple from idols. He took away some gold as well which he duly distributed among the poor in what today is Dubai.
The first Pak to be hit by a drone was actually an innocent camel in North Wazoo. This made him very angry and as a result, he began to behave like a rampaging Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Drones were invented by the famous Jewish scientist, Albert Einstein when his equation, E=mc2, was successfully challenged and debunked by the famous Musselmen physicist, Oreo Maqbool Biscuit in his equally famous book, 'War and Peace', co-written with nuclear scientist, alchemist and judo expert, Zaid Hamid in 1941.
When asked how a drone attack was possible in 1024AD, Oreo said it was a case of time travel. This, he said, was achieved when the reptilian Elders of Zion discovered a wormhole near Jerusalem that distorted the space-time continuum in the region and made the camels of that area very angry and krazed killer. Thus, the invention of drones. He insists that he be given a Nobel Prize for this discovery.
Ever since 1024AD, drones have killed over three billion Paks. It is strange how not a single non-Musselmen Pak has ever been killed by a drone. So, to balance things out, the angry camels began to kill Christians. It was only fair.
Compared to the 3bn Pak Musselmens killed by the drones, only 14 Paks have been killed in suicide kabooms by the angry camels. Such attacks are not at all common in Pakistain. In fact, the first ever suicide attack in the country took place only last Sunday and that too only because Pakistain is a country full of sinners and bad Musselmens.
It is wrong to say that the Pakistain military is allowing the Americans to use drones in the country. The truth is that it is actually against the drones that the army is fighting and not against the so-called krazed killers, who are simply innocent herdsmen. The truth is that it is the civilian government which is allowing the Americans to use drones -- especially former President Zardari who is believed to own a number of drone factories in Switzerland ...home of the Helvetians, famous for cheese, watches, yodeling, and William Tell...
On the other hand some liberal fascists are planning to set up drone factories on the moon on a large area that they illegally occupied by evicting poverty-stricken Uzbek and Chechen liberation fighters who wanted to liberate the moon from the tyranny of the descendants of Jewish astronaut, Neil Armstrong, who by the way, had converted to Islam.
But he turned out to be a bad Musselmen, unlike Michael Jackson who turned out to be a good one, before he died in a drone attack. In Dubai.
The Government of Pakistain does not allow its greatest scientist -- in fact, the world's greatest scientist -- Dr. A.Q. Skywalker, to develop the drone technology so Pakistain can make its own drones and kill innocent shepherds itself. In fact, the so-called faceless myrmidons are on record saying that they would rather be struck by a Pak drone than by an American one. Very patriotic people, they are.
The Pak drones will make sure that no innocent Pak (i.e. Musselmen, of course) is killed. Only bad faceless myrmidons would be targeted which, till last count, were just two and they too were willing to repent after the inevitable success of the peace talks. Reports suggest that they had become bad faceless myrmidons because they'd been listening to John Lennon's song, 'Give Peace a Chance' backwards.
If one listens to that song backwards one could clearly hear a cleverly masked message that says: 'Garrble, garrble, woonok wonk bing donk.' Very evil.
According to famous intellectual, revolutionary and very angry old man, Imran Khan ... aka Taliban Khan, who who convinced himself that playing cricket qualified him to lead a nuclear-armed nation with severe personality problems... , only one out of a million people living in Waziristan is a bad krazed killer. That is a fact. And the blast that you just heard was actually caused by a gas cylinder kaboom.
It is not true that Americans use drones to attack those faceless myrmidons that are out of our reach. This is an American lie. And that gas cylinder kaboom you just heard is actually innocent civilians being struck by a drone missile.
It is a sad fact that some Paks use more time protesting about trivial issues such as the misuse of the blasphemy law, rape cases and the 14 people who were killed in the only suicide attack that has ever taken place in this country, instead of protesting against the drones that have killed billions of Paks.
But then, such misguided people are all alcoholics, drug addicts and believers of free sex, so one cannot expect them to speak out against the drones. They will all burn in hell.
The Americans are bribing the Chinese to make toy drones so they can be exported to Pakistain and given to Musselmen children to play with. We should retaliate by asking the Chinese to make toy models of Imran Khan and Nawaz Sharif ... served two non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Moslem League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf... that say 'stop drones, stop drones, stop drones' every time a gas cylinder kaboom kill civilians and soldiers.
Orders should also be placed for the making of revolutionary looking dolls (male, of course) whose features are a cross between Che Guevara, OBL and Lady Gaga. Comrade Tariq Ali can be used to market these dolls.
But Pakistain should make manned drones i.e. un-womaned drones manned by hunks, called hunk-manned drones.
Trained pilots should not be necessary for such drones. One's ghairat, patriotism and control over his daily flatulence cycle should be enough. We suggest handsome, ingenious and muscular hunks like Sangsar Abbasi to be given the honour of using these hunk-manned drones against the sissy women-manned American drones.
Last but not the least, the drones are also said to be the main cause of last year's devastating floods in Pakistain and this year's horrifying earthquake in Balochistan ...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
There is ample evidence to prove this. Some brilliant scholars at the Punjab University are close to proving the long-term effects of drone attacks. Apart from floods and earthquakes (in Musselmen countries), the effects also include the spread of homosexuality, energy shortage, corruption, dengue fever, hair-loss and worst of all, Turkish soaps on local TV channels.
