Close Gitmo... Great Idea.

It seems there is a new twist in the December 25th "Panty Bomber Jihadi" story...

Two of the plotters were former Gitmo prisoners. Hold onto your seat before reading this excerpt, or perhaps go and have a hard drink.

From this source:

Two of the four leaders allegedly behind the al Qaeda plot to blow up a Northwest Airlines passenger jet over Detroit were released by the U.S. from the Guantanamo prison in November 2007, according to American officials and Department of Defense documents. Al Qaeda claimed responsibility for the Northwest bombing in a Monday statement that vowed more attacks on Americans.

American officials agreed to send the two terrorists from Guantanamo to Saudi Arabia, where they entered into an "art therapy rehabilitation program" and were set free, according to U.S. and Saudi officials. ABC News described their enrollment in the art therapy program in a January report.

So Obama thinks that finger painting will reform hard core jihadists?

Aren't you glad that Obama and his ilk are closing Gitmo, putting some of these scumbags into our legal system, and reassuring the American people that all is well?

"Religion of Peace" Attempts Another Airplane Jihad

Probably not too many of us were keeping tabs on the news yesterday, instead opting to enjoy the day, celebrate and spend the day with our families, and remember the birth of Christ.

So, when I checked the news this morning, I came across this story:

ROMULUS, Mich. – An attempted terrorist attack on a Christmas Day flight began with a pop and a puff of smoke — sending passengers scrambling to subdue a Nigerian man who claimed to be acting on orders from al-Qaida to blow up the airliner, officials and travelers said.

The commotion began as Northwest Airlines Flight 253, carrying 278 passengers and 11 crew members from Amsterdam, prepared to land in Detroit just before noon Friday. Travelers said they smelled smoke, saw a glow, and heard what sounded like firecrackers. At least one person climbed over others and jumped on the man, who officials say was trying to ignite an explosive device.

"It sounded like a firecracker in a pillowcase," said Peter Smith, a passenger from the Netherlands. "First there was a pop, and then (there) was smoke."

Smith said one passenger, sitting opposite the man, climbed over passengers, went across the aisle and tried to restrain the man. The heroic passenger appeared to have been burned.

Afterward, the suspect was taken to a front-row seat with his pants cut off and his legs burned. Multiple law enforcement officials also said the man appeared badly burned on his legs, indicating the explosive was strapped there. The components were apparently mixed in-flight and included a powdery substance, multiple law enforcement and counterterrorism officials said.

The White House said it believed it was an attempted act of terrorism and stricter security measures were quickly imposed on airline travel. Dutch anti-terrorism authorities said the U.S. has asked all airlines to take extra precautions on flights worldwide that are bound for the United States.

The incident was reminiscent of Richard Ried, who tried to destroy a trans-Atlantic flight in 2001 with explosives hidden in his shoes, but was subdued by other passengers.

Multiple law enforcement officials identified the suspect in Friday's attempted attack as Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab. He was described as Nigerian.

One law enforcement official said the man claimed to have been instructed by al-Qaida to detonate the plane over U.S. soil, but other law enforcement officials cautioned that such claims could not be verified immediately, and said the man may have been acting independently — inspired but not specifically trained or ordered by terror groups.

Not to worry, though. Obama's got the situation under control. He's going to keep tabs on it from Hawaii. Don't you feel safer already?

Read the rest of the story here.

Thanks to the brave passengers who foiled this Muslim's Christmas jihad! They acted quickly and decisively, and they got the best outcome possible.

It must suck for this brave Muslim warrior that a dirty kuffar took away his shot at 72 virgins in Allah's sky brothel. I guess he'll have to just go to Muslim hell with all of the regular women, now.

Merry Christmas!

Here's wishing all of you out there a very Merry Christmas!

Hopefully, everything goes well:

Unbeliveable.

So what if over 60% of We The People don't want this pork-laden so-called 'health care reform' bill? Congress will do whatever the hell they want, and the will of the People be damned.

This will be the first time in history that We The People are not only taxed near to death, but compelled by an oppressive government to purchase something or potentially be jailed.

This is blatantly unconstitutional!!!

I'm so angry right now I don't know what to say.

A couple of Good Ones:

Obama will bring the entire United States to this:

Zo has the heads up on my post-Christmas Kwanzaa rant:

Opportunity for the Muslim Ladies:

Good news, girls... You can now take part in jihad!

As long as you don't get too 'out of your place', that is:

Ayman al-Zawahiri, Osama bin Laden's second-in-command, has been a regular presence on Islamic web sites for years , releasing statements and videos via al-Qaeda's propaganda arm that blast the West and urge Muslims to wage holy war. Now his wife may have joined the family business.

In what is thought to be her first public statement, Omaima Hassan published a statement on Islamic web sites Thursday that encouraged "Musllim sisters" to assist with jihad, but only in suitably feminine ways. She called supporting jihad "an obligation for all Muslims, men and women." ABC News could not independently confirm the authenticity of the statement.

In the seven-page letter, after assuring friends and family that she and her husband are safe and well, Hassan outlines the ways in which women can assist their men with jihad. Hassan suggests that women work side by side in defending Islam with their men, but underlines that the most important role for women is to support male mujahideen by caring for their children.

"Jihad is an obligation for every man and woman," wrote Hassan, "but the way of fighting is not easy for women."

Really? Is anything easy for a woman under Sharia?

"Our main role -- that I ask God to accept from us -- is to preserve the mujahideen in their sons, and homes, and their confidentiality, and to help them raise/develop their children in the best way."

But Hassan also suggests that women can become suicide bombers, which she refers to as "martyrdom missions."

Read the rest here. It is dumbfounding.

While the so-called 'religion of peace' is busy treating its women equal (at least when it comes to killing kuffar, that is), we have idiot liberal teachers in Indiana attempting to force children to glorify Allah:

A battle over religion is brewing in central Indiana after a public school wanted second graders to sing a song declaring, “Allah is God.” The phrase was removed just before the performance after a national conservative group launched a protest.

The principal of Lantern Road Elementary School in Fishers, IN, said they were trying to teach inclusiveness through their holiday production. It included references to Christmas, Hanukkah, Ramadan, Las Posadas and Kwanzaa. However, no other deity, other than Allah, was referenced in the show.

“It went off…without a hitch,” Danielle Thompson told the Indianapolis Star. “Several families thought it was a nice program.”

But others did not – especially David Hogan. His daughter came home with a copy of the lyrics just days before the production. Hogan, a Christian, told the American Family Association, a conservative advocacy group, that he was deeply concerned to learn that his daughter had been singing, “Allah is God.”

Here’s what the children were assigned to sing:

“Allah is God, we recall at dawn,
Praying ‘til night during Ramadan
At this joyful time we pray happiness for you,
Allah be with you all your life through.”

But when it came time to perform the “Christian” part of Christmas, children were assigned to say:

“I didn’t know there was a little boy at the manger. What child is this?
I’m not sure if there was a little boy or not.
Then why did you paint one on your nativity window?
I just thought if there was a little boy, I’d like to know exactly what he (sic) say.

Micah Clark, executive director of the Indiana AFA, launched an Internet protest once he heard about the allegations. “What surprised me here is that we’ve had a secular scrubbing of Christmas for so long and the school apparently didn’t see the problem with kids singing to Allah,” he told FOX News Radio. “You won’t even mention Jesus and you’re going to force my child to sing about Allah?

In email correspondence the school initially defended the reference as a way to be inclusive of all religions. However, once complaints starting rolling in, school leaders decided to eliminate the Allah reference.

That drew the ire of the Muslim Alliance of Indiana. “It’s unfortunate if that was removed from the program just because of Islamophobic feelings,” Shariq Siddiqui told the Indianapolis Star. “Schools are a place where we should learn more about each other rather than exclude each other based on stereotypes and misconceptions.”

But Clark said having children bow and pray is problematic for non-Muslim families. “(This show) affirmed Islam and negated Christianity. I wouldn’t have had a problem if it had been equal to all faiths.”

I'd have a problem either way. Islam is a sociopolitial system and a highly abusive, misogynistic, homophobic abuse machine.

I am just a stone's throw from Indy, and I can't believe this. I guess liberals and dhimmis make roach nests everywhere, though.

I'm glad the parents got this stricken from the show despite the obligatory cries by Muslims of 'Islamaphobia'. What bullshit.

To call into question and really not even mention by name the Christian aspect of Christmas, yet to devote those kids to Islam, (and no doubt to bring up the farce that is Kwannza, but that is a post for later) is beyond atrocious.

Why not have the kids just say "there is no god but Allah and Mohammad is his prophet" and then stick their asses in the air?

Dhimmitude is disgusting, but even more so when foisted upon children.

Getting Us Coming and Going...

While Obama and Hillary are busy trying to screw the American people in Copenhagen, the Congress is poised to put a big lump of legislative coal in our stocking on Christmas Eve night.

The will of We The People be damned.

How to Know You're About To Have a Bad Day:

As a Trek fan, I found this one to be too funny:

Minnesota: Another Cartonnifada?

From this source:

A St. Cloud human rights group has offered a $1,000 reward in the hopes of finding the person responsible for posting anti-Islamic cartoons in the city this week.

Create CommUNITY, a nonprofit organization that promotes racial harmony, announced Friday that the money would be posted with the Tri-County Crime-Stoppers for information that leads to an arrest and conviction in the case.

The crude cartoons were found stapled to a pair of utility poles Tuesday.

They depict the prophet Mohammed in derogatory ways, the Qur'an and a swastika. One of

the posters was stapled to a pole outside the Mandeeq Shop, a discount store named in honor of the native name for Somalia.

The city attorney's office is investigating whether the cartoons violate any criminal statutes and, if they do, the case could be treated as a bias crime.

Police have received tips in the case but have made no arrests.

I know there is a high Muslim population in Minnesota... That said, are we really so weak as to allow another cartoonifada and government dhimmitude, this time on American soil?!?

I am flabbergasted beyond words.

Oh, and perhaps the swastika thing is being taken as an insult because we fail to teach history in this country:

Not to mention that depicting Mohammad in an insulting fashion is that difficult of a thing to do...

We are speaking about the Pedophile Prophet who took a six-year-old girl as a br

ide well after he

was 50 years old, and 'consummated' the 'marriage' when she reached the ripe old age of nine.

Imam: Catholic Jihad?

Found at this site:

Muslim leaders said Friday the five American youths arrested in Pakistan for allegedly attempting to join the al Qaeda network were lured through the Internet into embracing terrorist ideology and that they will wage a cyber counterattack.

"This is a wake-up call involving our youths — Muslims and Catholics," Imam Mahdi Bray said outside the Islamic Circle of North American Center, the Northern Virginia mosque in which the men worshipped and participated in youth-group activities. "They see great injustices, and their emotions and passions are stirred, as they should be. … But we are determined not to let religious extremists exploit the vulnerability of our youth through slick, seductive and destructive propaganda on the Internet. We will respond in kind on the Internet. Silence in cyberspace is not an option."

Ok, kudos for speaking out against cyber terror recruiting, Imam, but since when do we need to worry about Catholic youths becoming terrorists?!?

Since when do Catholics go on jihad?!?

Did anyone challenge that? Did the paper try to contact him for clarification? Of course not.

Sometimes, I just can't take it...

Another Good One:

Dayam. Worth a Thousand Words.

Nothing to See Here, I'm SURE.

It looks like 'just another isolated incident' has happened again. One of the adherents of that so-called 'religion of peace' had stabbed to death an elderly man.

From this source:

A 46-year-old Binghamton University graduate student from Saudi Arabia was charged on Saturday with killing a retired anthropology professor, a specialist in Islamic and Middle Eastern studies with whom he had worked, the authorities said.

The student, Abdulsalam S. al-Zahrani, was charged with second-degree murder in the death of the professor, Richard T. Antoun, who was stabbed in his office in the university’s Science I building on Friday afternoon, said Gerald F. Mollen, the district attorney in Broome County. “We believe the murder weapon was recovered,” he said.

---------------------------------------

Professor Antoun, 77, received a doctorate from Harvard in 1963 and joined the Binghamton faculty in the early 1970s. He was “a sociocultural anthropologist who has conducted research among peasants in Jordan, urbanites in Lebanon, peasant farmers in Iran and migrants in Texas and Greece,” according to the university's web site. He retired in 1999 as professor emeritus.

“He dedicated his life to trying to understand the people of the Middle East,” said the professor’s sister Linda Miller, of Holden, Mass. “He never said an unkind word to anyone in his life.”

It sounds to me that the professor failed to understand Islam. I'm sure he and everyone he knows is clear on it now.

Or, perhaps the Professor did understand the cruelty that is Islam and Zharani didn't appreciate that.

Ms. Miller’s husband, the Rev. David J. Miller, said that Professor Antoun had been married to his wife, Rosalyn, for 17 years and had a son, Nicholas, 40.

-----------------------------------------------

In his statement, Mr. Mollen said there was “no indication of religious or ethnic motivation” in the killing. He said no other arrests were expected.

No, of course not, just like the FBI rushed to claim that the Ft. Hood murderer wasn't a terrorist... Until it becomes too painfully obvious for even the blind to miss the facts.

I'm sure that once that occurs here, the apologists and dhimmis will be right there to figure out how we caused this poor, mistreated and misunderstood Muslim to 'snap.'

Video Friday

I'm going to have all of tomorrow to catch up with the blogosphere.

Until then, a couple of vids:

Short Hiatus: At New Job Orientation

Skip the Trip to Best Buy This Year!

It's Black Friday.

Today, thousands of people will be rude, competitive and inhumane to each other in a mad dash for stuff.

You may recall last year when a person was actually trampled to death over stuff.

I, for one, won't go out Christmas shopping today. The stuff couldn't be on sale enough to justify participating in this commercially created atmosphere of avarice and barbarity.

I might go to the grocery store later today, but because I actually need a couple of things. I sure won't go to a 'supercenter' where all of the crazies will be!

I probably won't be going to Best Buy at all this year:

A Best Buy ad with a Muslim theme is raising questions of how retailers should mark religious holidays.

The ad on BestBuy.com wishes Muslims a happy Eid al-Adha, a Muslim holiday that lasts three days and happens to fall on the extended Thanksgiving weekend.

A BestBuy.com message board has been filled with mixed responses since the ad was posted, MyFoxTwinCities.com reports.

One says, "Thank you Best Buy for the Eid Greetings!! I plan to spend more money at BB (Best Buy.) Thank you for being inclusive of various cultures."

Another post wasn't as supportive: "Happy Eid Al-Adha but no Merry Christmas? I assume your next advertisements will say Merry Christmas. Otherwise, I will no longer shop at best buy. I will shop at those businesses which support Christmas."

Best Buy released a statement saying, "We do use the word 'holiday' in some of our advertising because it is meant to be inclusive to everyone. However, just as we have in the past, we will also reference specific holidays such as Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanza in our weekly ads, store signage and other advertising vehicles."

OK, for starters, most retailers don't use Merry Christmas in their ads until they start to feel pressure from the excluded folk's complaints.

Next, I won't support with my dollars a business that is 'inclusive' of a religion that supports the institutionalized repression and abuse of women, hatred of Jews, homosexuals and all of us infidels in general. I will not support with my dollars a business that is 'inclusive' of a religious system that still convicts people of witchcraft!

(By the way, Best Buy... Kwanza isn't a real holiday, but that's a post for another day.)

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my friends, for whom I am grateful.

I hope your day is plentiful and goes well.

Outrage Trinity:

Three things are pissing me off today. First and foremost, from this source:

Navy SEALs have secretly captured one of the most wanted terrorists in Iraq — the alleged mastermind of the murder and mutilation of four Blackwater USA security guards in Fallujah in 2004. And three of the SEALs who captured him are now facing criminal charges, sources told FoxNews.com.

The three, all members of the Navy's elite commando unit, have refused non-judicial punishment — called an admiral's mast — and have requested a trial by court-martial.

Ahmed Hashim Abed, whom the military code-named "Objective Amber," told investigators he was punched by his captors — and he had the bloody lip to prove it.

Now, instead of being lauded for bringing to justice a high-value target, three of the SEAL commandos, all enlisted, face assault charges and have retained lawyers.

Matthew McCabe, a Special Operations Petty Officer Second Class (SO-2), is facing three charges: dereliction of performance of duty for willfully failing to safeguard a detainee, making a false official statement, and assault.

Petty Officer Jonathan Keefe, SO-2, is facing charges of dereliction of performance of duty and making a false official statement.

Petty Officer Julio Huertas, SO-1, faces those same charges and an additional charge of impediment of an investigation.

That's it, dammit. We ask these men to put their lives on the line and take out high value enemies alive, Obama's administration wants to discipline and tarnish these men over a fat lip?!?

This asshole Abed deserves to be eaten alive by wild pigs for what he is, and we're worried about him getting a fist?

I'm done. Pull them all out. If we can't treat our military right then bring them home.

Next, almost two years ago I put up this post. Well, it turns out Mexican truckers coming over the border isn't such a good thing after all:

LAREDO, Texas (AP) | A U.S. program that offers trusted trucking companies speedy passage across American borders has begun attracting just the sort of customers who place a premium on avoiding inspections: Mexican drug smugglers.

Most trucks enrolled in the program pause at the border for just 20 seconds before entering the United States. And nine out of 10 of them do so without anyone looking at their cargo.

But among the small fraction of trucks that are inspected, authorities have found multiple loads of contraband, including 8 tons of marijuana seized during one week in April.

Some specialists now question whether the program makes sense at a time when drug traffickers are willing to do almost anything to smuggle their shipments into the United States.

Huh. Who would've guessed that this program would be fraught with corruption?

Lastly, Climategate. Where the feck is the midstream media on this one?

When you read some of those files – including 1079 emails and 72 documents – you realise just why the boffins at CRU might have preferred to keep them confidential. As Andrew Bolt puts it, this scandal could well be “the greatest in modern science”. These alleged emails – supposedly exchanged by some of the most prominent scientists pushing AGW theory – suggest:

Conspiracy, collusion in exaggerating warming data, possibly illegal destruction of embarrassing information, organised resistance to disclosure, manipulation of data, private admissions of flaws in their public claims and much more.

Fraud, extortion, corruption... C'mon, media, there might be a story here!

Islam: Women Under Attack

Where are the feminists? Where are the international human rights groups? When women are routinely brutalized and disfigured in the name of Islam, all we here is silence.

From this source:

We typically think of terrorism as a political act.

But sometimes it’s very personal. It wasn’t a government or a guerrilla insurgency that threw acid on this woman’s face in Pakistan. It was a young man whom she had rejected for marriage. As the United States ponders what to do in Afghanistan — and for that matter, in Pakistan — it is wise to understand both the political and the personal, that the very ignorance and illiteracy and misogyny that create the climate for these acid attacks ca

n and does bleed over into the political realm. Nicholas Kristof, the New York Times op-ed columnist who traveled to Pakistan last year to write about acid attacks, put it this way in an essay at the time: “I’ve been investigating such acid attacks, which are commonly used to terrorize and subjugate women and girls in a swath of Asia from Afghanistan through Cambodia (men are almost never attacked with acid). Because women usually don’t matter in this part of the world, their attackers are rarely prosecuted and acid sales are usually not controlled. It’s a kind of terrorism that becomes accepted as part of the background noise in the region. ...

Saira Liaqat, 26, poses for the camera as she holds a portrait of herself before being burned, at her home in Lahore, Pakistan, Wednesday, July 9, 2008. When she was fifteen, Saira was married to a relative who would later attack her with acid after insistently demanding her to live with him, although the families had agreed she wouldn't join him until she finished school. Saira has undergone plastic surgery 9 times to try to recover from her scars.

Please do read the rest; it is worth it. I have sampled just one picture, but there are many more that graphically illustrate the savagery of Islam.

On Your Mark...

...And GO!

Today is the beginning of the Hajj, an annual event in which Muslims must trample each other running figure eights around a big black cube which contains a rock inside a bedpan.

Oh, and it's fresh and yummy rock, too:

Touching or kissing the Black Stone has a profound impact on the faithful as it is suppose to count in their favor on judgment day. The great Muslim traveler from Valencia, Ibn Jubayr (1145 - 1217) describes the emotion he felt on touching the stone; The stone, when one kisses it, has a softness and freshness which delights the mouth, so much so that he who places his lips upon it wishes never to remove them. It suffices, moreover, that the Prophet said that it is the Right Hand of God on Earth.

Amazing. It's a bit like those folks that see the Virgin Mary in their toast, except Islamists built a palace around theirs.

In any case, I am of the opinion that Mohammad mandated the trip to Mecca as a tourist revenue scheme, making it mandatory for the 'faithful' and reinforcing it by having them pray towards it five times a day.

But now the 'faithful' Muslim has more to worry about than the cost of getting to Mecca... What happens if he gets the swine flu while he's there?

I. Shit. You. Not.

From this source:

For many Muslims it's the journey of a lifetime: making the Hajj pilgrimage. Almost 3 million faithful, together, in the city ofMecca, Saudi Arabia. But this year, the Hajj could become an incubator for the H1N1 virus.

At a Muslim community center in Duluth, Georgia, American Muslims pray and prepare for the Hajj. Lateefa Khan is here with her husband, Zakerullah. She has mixed emotions. They are leaving their children behind but say they look forward to the worship.

"It is very exciting. An amazing experience," Khan says. "I am looking forward to worshipping, focusing all my time on worshipping."

Khan will take precautions to avoid H1N1, also known as swine flu, at the Hajj. They'll carry hand sanitizer and will be "frequently washing our hands, trying to stay as clean as possible."

The Khans, along with a number of people at the center who are going on the Hajj, also are getting H1N1 inoculations.

Dr. Asif Saberi gives them a short lecture on how to prepare and encourages everyone to have their shots at least seven days before traveling. He says the Saudi government is doing a lot to protect pilgrims, but "the magnitude of the problem is the magnitude of the numbers of people who attend the Hajj."

When it comes to using hand sanitizer and wearing masks, Saberi says he encounters confusion about religious dictates and flu prevention. According to Muslim beliefs, for example, men in a state of pilgrimage should not wear any stitched items or touch alcohol. So what about wearing face masks or using alcohol-based sanitizers?

Now there's a pickle, eh?

I think it's hilarious that Muslims are getting swine flue vaccines so they can go to Hajj. I wonder if the pilgrimage makes up for that, or do they have to kill a few extra infidels or Jews to make up for that one?

America: A Banana Republic

So cloture passed over the weekend under the cover of darkness, and the leftists who want to kill this nation smiled like reptiles while they patted each other's back on C-Span.

From this source:

Staffers on Capitol Hill were calling it the Louisiana Purchase.

On the eve of Saturday's showdown in the Senate over health-care reform, Democratic leaders still hadn't secured the support of Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.), one of the 60 votes needed to keep the legislation alive. The wavering lawmaker was offered a sweetener: at least $100 million in extra federal money for her home state.

And so it came to pass that Landrieu walked onto the Senate floor midafternoon Saturday to announce her aye vote -- and to trumpet the financial "fix" she had arranged for Louisiana. "I am not going to be defensive," she declared. "And it's not a $100 million fix. It's a $300 million fix."

How does it feel to be a whore, Landrieu? And an arrogant one, at that.

This is bullshit of the highest degree! We have a bunch of fat old pigs sitting in Capitol Hill who refuse to hear We The People, and have made it clear that they will do damn well whatever they want to us. While some some Republicans have begun to use the actual printed out bill as a prop to show the sheer size of this monstrosity that not one Democrat who voted for it has actually read, leftists are arguing like toddlers as they are enslaving us:

The real star of the health care debate this weekend has been the 2,074-page bill — a physical manifestation of the size and scope of what's at stake as senators consider the overhaul of one-sixth of the nation's economy.

"It's a massive increase in government, as shown by this bill," Mr. Ensign, Nevada Republican, told a reporter off the floor later, spreading his arms wide as if to encompass the stack of papers more than a foot tall.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski, Alaska Republican, said the bill weighs more than 20 pounds.

The bill contains the word "tax" 511 times and includes 18 tax hikes, according to Americans for Tax Reform, a conservative lobbying group. It uses the word "require" more than 1,000 times and the word "shall" more than 3,500 times, and talks about studies required by the bill 150 times.

----------------------------------------

"You only have print on one side, which isn't even the way we print them up around here. I've had mine printed up on both sides, so I use both sides of the paper. So they've made an attempt here to make it look a lot higher than it is," he said.

When the official version is printed, Mr. Udall said, the type will be much smaller and the bill will amount to "an average-size book."

Seriously? Well, I guess that if you're screwing us in a smaller font it's not so bad.

I hate these people, and I hate what they're doing to us. How dare they tell me that I have to buy anything or get fined or jailed! How dare they spend my grandchildren into debt! Where the fuck is that in the Constitution?!?

That's right, it isn't there. But just ask Pelosi that question. She literally laughed at a reporter who dared to do so!

The ARROGANCE!!!

Ladies and Gentlemen, Americans, what this Congress is doing to us is absolutely illegal. I honestly do not see how we take our country back without torches and pitchforks. They don't listen when we have tea parties, town hall meetings, when we shut down their phone lines and fill their inboxes. I truly fear this country must be taken back by force, and I fear even more that most people haven't the balls to do it.

Depressed.

The news today has got me down.

First, we have the Senate doing the preliminary voting on a Saturday night under the cover of darkness over a bill that will give the government control of 1/6 of the U.S. economy and kill it, not to mention take away our freedom.

They may as well chant "Death to America" while voting.

Next, we have pedophiles and government ruining Christmas.

Then, parents and brother who must be beyond grief.

Finally, we have a news story about a "mentally ill" teenager.

I say put a bullet in her and be done with it. And yes, that is merciful because she deserves far worse.

I can't take it, so I'm going on a mental staycation.

Join me, and check this out:

Video Wednesday

I know some people do not much care for embedded video blog posts, but I have two must-see vids.

The first, for funnies:

And finally, food for thought:

Worth a Thousand Words:

A follow up to yesterday's post:

Americans Bow to Royalty?

How low will the new American president go for the world's royalty?

This photo will get Democrat President Obama a lot of approving nods in Japan this weekend, especially among the older generation of Japanese who still pay attention to the royal family living in its downtown castle. Very low bows like this are a sign of great respect and deference to a superior.

Excerpted from an excellent article; please read the rest here.

Remember this:

Oh, but that wasn't a bow according to the White House. Maybe Obama was looking for a contact or something. Sheesh.

Rather than comport himself with the dignity of the office of the Presidency, Obama may as well go crawling to the world's royalties. Disgusting.

Guess What? The Border is Now Secure!

From this source, all emphasis mine:

Declaring success in border security and immigration enforcement, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Friday that the federal government has done its work and now it's time for Congress to pass a broad bill to legalize illegal immigrants.

Really? Well huzzah. I guess whenever we have a problem we can just SAY it's solved and it will be, huh?

Her speech signals President Obama will make good on his promise to push Congress to pass an immigration bill next year - adding yet another hot-button issue to an already long and contentious list.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do, Dems. Please guarantee your ousting in November!

Ms. Napolitano said members of Congress and voters who balked at an immigration bill two years ago, fearing a repeat of the 1986 amnesty that only made the problem worse, can be assured this time is different. She said in those two years, the flow of illegal immigrants across the border has dropped dramatically and the government is doing more to catch fugitive aliens inside the U.S.

Gee, that couldn't be because the economy is in the crapper. No, it MUST that suddenly leftists have decided to stop illegal immigration. LOL! Just when you think the left couldn't get any more absurd, they give us another one!

"The security of the southwest border has been transformed from where it was in 2007," she said in a speech to the Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank. "The federal government has dedicated unprecedented resources to the Mexican border in terms of manpower, technology and infrastructure - and it's made a real difference."

But Republicans said her declaration of victory on border security was premature.

"How can they claim that enforcement is 'done' when there are more than 400 open miles of border with Mexico, hundreds of thousands of criminal and fugitive aliens and millions of illegal immigrants taking American jobs?" said Rep. Lamar Smith of Texas, the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee.

How indeed. Sheesh. As Beamish would say, it's a genetic predisposition for leftists to prove that they are imbeciles.
