Great News; Taliban Blowing Selves Up

Feb 26, 2010 Political

The Sun UK is reporting that the Taliban, in the rush to plant Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) prior to the huge offensive Operation Moshtarak, have blown themselves up. At least 20 Taliban have been killed because the triggers on the devices are sensitive and cause premature detonation.

Up to 20 are thought to have died planting Improvised Explosive Devices.

They were racing to plant the IEDs before the Allied offensive Operation Moshtarak. The triggers on the IEDs have become so sensitive the terrorists are accidentally detonating them as they hide them.

This is great news. The idea of these people blowing themselves up makes my day. I only hope they are able to kill hundreds more of their own through this method.

On our knees, or on our feet- Choose one

May 11, 2009 Political

Well, it’s been over a hundred days since Barama was crowned, and in this time the administration has surely apologized a lot, and to virtually everybody in the world, as if we did something wrong.

Let me think- after we were attacked on 9/11, we went into Afghanistan to topple the Taliban and deny safe havens to Bin Laden. Any thing to apologize for here? No way.

Knowing that Saddam had ignored more than 17 resolutions from the gutless UN, and upon hearing from the French intelligence service, and the Israeli intelligence service (Mossad), and the British and Russian intelligence services, and from SADDAM HUSSEIN himself that he indeed had WMDs, President Bush decided that the risk was too great to allow WMDs in any terrorist groups hands. This was prudence on the President’s part, considering the information given. No apologies here.

When it comes to America’s security, a leader cannot take anything lightly. Not in this environment, considering the past actions, and future plots. There is still too much to be done, and it is looking like much of the work will be left unfinished due to a change in leadership, and a vast gulf in Global Understanding on the part of Barama, who thinks that just because some people cheer him, they wish him well. Caesar could say a few things about friendship and its transient quality.

But more important than being liked is being respected, and any hint of weakness is not a building block for respect, but a chink in our armor that someone will seek to exploit. Apologizing for something that has happened, before all the facts are known, as happened with Secretary Clinton, apologizing to Hamid Karsai, the head of Afghanistan, regarding an alleged American air strike that reportedly killed civilians, was premature.

Before any facts were known, Secretary Clinton had apologized for what was, in fact, a Taliban setup intended to embarrass the United States, something they have grown fairly adept at, with the complicit media, who take these killers at their word.

Wouldn’t you think that if it came to America, or the Taliban, that veracity might play into who to believe. Character counts, and America has always been in the forefront of aid to starving countries, and the first to aid devastated places. America gives more than anyone else to anyone else. We give more to Palestinian aid than many Arab countries. Ouch- that’s gotta hurt Muslim pride, huh? What has the Taliban ever done for its people? How has Al-Qaida made the world a better place for the people of this world? What fakers, what poseurs these apostate dogs are.

I understand jealousy, and that is what motivates most countries in their hate for the U.S.- they have most, if not all the same advantages that we have, but they cannot seem to make their government work right. In some cases, countries cannot seem to understand the concept of democracy, in others, they understand, but they hate the very idea, because empowering the people means no more power for the dictators.

I said all that to say this- there is a core of people in this country that will never feel the need to apologize, people that know deep in their DNA that there is no greater country, or form of government in the world today. We know that what we do for other countries, we do not out of any guilty conscience, but because it is the right thing to do, and doing the right thing comes natural to us. We know that there is an innate greatness and hope within all people, and we hope that our example does not create jealousy, but instead creates the environment where democracy and peace can sprout.

But mark my words well- we will be respected, and we will be sovereign in our undertakings. We will welcome partners in our endeavors, but understand one thing, and understand it clearly-

We will live on our feet, not on our knees, and nothing shall change that fact.

The Supremes? Maybe Not So Much.

May 4, 2009 Political

Here it comes, the biggest shift in policy the U.S. has known in many a year, as the first of possibly three Supreme Court Justices retires.

The first is David Souter, a supposedly centrist jurist that slipped by Bush 41, and immediately veered left, in the highest court in the land. This leftist shift caught Bush by surprise, and began a tilt to liberal causes until Justice Clarence Thomas, Justice Roberts, and Justice Sam Alito were appointed as conservatives to the bench.

In seeking Souter’s replacement, Barama said, ” I will seek someone who understands that justice isn’t about some abstract legal theory or footnote in a case book. It is also about how our laws affect the daily realities of people’s lives.” This is a truly ignorant statement from someone who claims to be a Constitutional lawyer. The job of a Supreme Court Judge is to interpret the Constitution and how it applies to the cases at hand, not to spoon feed a decision to a person contrary to case law, out of symapthy. Sympathy prejudices cases, not clarifies them. A person might be sympathetic to the case, but if the law doesn’t support that case, you are not allowed to bend the law, or make exceptions- that negates the whole reason for a Supreme Court.

This is the true beginning of just how radically this person wants to change your society and the principles we have had as our core values. Barama truly doesn’t understand, or if he does, he just wants to impose his views on us. That is a facet of totalitarianism, imposing one’s will on the rest of society, and it sucks like a wind tunnel. To impose his will on us is very Taliban of him- perhaps we should begin calling him Mullah Hussein.If he appoints a liberal activist to the court, it will be the first of possibly three as Justice Ginsburg doesn’t have a lot of time left, and Justice Kennedy will probably be sweet- talked into stepping down.

What I am afraid of is the distinct possibility that whoever Mullah Hussein picks will be an advocate for “Transnationalism”, a term that, when translated correctly, means that we are no longer independent or sovereign in our country’s legal decisions- we could be overridden by a court of foreigners, who do not believe in our Constitution, or our independence, and be forced to obey the U.N.- I could not envision a poorer scenario for our country. We would be legalistically raped by every third- world dictatorship with a chip on its shoulder.
This is how the end begins- by choosing someone for a job requiring logical thought, but insisting that “empathy” be the primary focus in the job description.

Empathy is what needs to be left out of these decisions, in order that they favor noone, but dispense justice even- handedly. This is supposed to be the very definition of justice- equitable, and true, favoring no one.
The big Mullah- Mullah wants something different, and in most times, he would have his dictatorial tendencies quashed by Congress, who would provide a brake on the Executive power, but with Nancy Pelosi’s ADD, and Harry Reid’s natural insanity,there is noone who can be the voice of reason, unless the rest of the Democrats stop blindly following their leaders like whipped dogs, and actually act like real lawmakers. There doesn’t seem to be much chance of that, even though they are losing, or on the verge of losing any power the Legislative branch once had.

Both Republicrats and Demicans have a chance here- a fork in the road, and it begins with the replacement of David Souter in the Supreme Court. On the one road, there is an activist in the court, one that might try to twist the law to fit an agenda- on the other road, is a judge who interprets the Constitution the way it is supposed to be interpreted, strictly and honestly, with the only agenda being the continued Constitutional Health our country needs to maintain a balance to usurping theories like “transnationalism”. Whoever thought that one up was truly high or insane, or both.

I’ll put it as plainly as I can to all the politicians on both sides- here it is in a nutshell-If transnationalists get on our court, two things will happen for sure. One, our legal landscape will no longer be easily navigated, as we will have totake into account the laws of other countries, and, Two, you will have lost the independence that the Legislative branch is supposed to have, separated from the Executive branch- remember the civics lessons in High School? No?

Well then, there’s our problem. We apparently have been electing the village idiots. Let us at least not appoint one to the Supreme Court.
