Terrorists Who Suck

When a cop yells halt or I’ll shoot, believe him. Because when you don’t, you will get shot. You may die. The same thing goes for terrorists. If you are a terrorist and you pick a fight with the greatest military in the world be prepared for the consequences.

I Love It

While many of us on the right think that this is long overdue, I'm waiting for the liberal firestorm and bigotry to start. The Dr. of Democracy, Majah Rushie, has done more to promote peace than any nominee likely to win the award. Euro leftist are no doubt shuddering into their lace kerchiefs. To bad.

Congrats Rush!

Let the Stupidity Begin

It didn’t take long for the cannibalism of the presidential candidates to begin. Sen. Joe Biden stepped in it and then proceeded to insert his leg into his mouth. He stopped just short of his thigh. Biden commented that Dem Senator Barak Obama (not Osama Obama as Teddy K likes to call him) was,

“…the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.... I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”

Mmmm maybe I’m a tad too sensitive. Maybe I’m still shocked at B Boxer’s backhand at Condi Rice. But what in the world did Sen. Joe mean by that?

Is he saying that Jesse Jackson had poor personal hygiene? Was Alan Keyes too homely? Was Al Sharpton hard to understand? Okay, maybe I’ll give him that one, but he had nice hair which apparently is all that John Edwards needed. It seems to me that Sen. Biden has a Byrd complex. While he tries to put on a nice face and appear to be inclusive, his inner bigotries belie his public persona.

Mr. Biden’s comments suggest that he has some of the old south in him, even though he’s from Delaware. The unspoken message that he sends is: He’s an okay fellow, for a colored person. I’m white. I grew up in the south and witnessed cruel bigotry first hand. I saw it not only in the south but in Denver, Oakland, New York, and Anchorage also. I thought that we were a society that was maturing past such infantile attitudes. But just when I think that we can start ignoring the color of a person’s skin some Democrat comes out and says something stupid to point out someone’s race as an issue.

I’m sure that there are Republicans that harbor the same attitudes because filth knows no political party, but the vilest comments seem to come from the party that paints itself as the party of the minorities. To be fair, Sen. Biden was trying to blast the front runners for his party’s nomination and he took swipes at Hillary and Edwards too. He made fun of Edward’s hair and stopped just short of calling Hillary a shrew. But he also attacked the issues of their platforms. He just saw the color of Obama’s skin.

This week, sports fans are celebrating the fact that for the first time there are two black head coaches leading their teams into the Super Bowl. I suppose that is noteworthy. But we forget that two great men are coaching their teams this coming Sunday. They are both great coaches in their own right. I look forward to the day when we no longer have to recognize “firsts” but acknowledge the greatness of the person regardless of background. I agree with Dr. King.

“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

When will that day finally come?

Terrorist Nutcases Suck Too

I know that distinguishing a terrorist nutcase from a terrorist begs the question, but every group has its wackos. Apparently that also includes Al Qaeda. Some of the terrorists haven’t gotten the memo yet that they are only to hate Jews and Americans. They keep killing their fellow Islamic brothers. Even I know that it’s hard to maintain your numbers if you keep killing off your potential applicant pool.

It seems that Ali Raghead [I don’t know his real name and I don’t care] fancied himself an Islamic Messiah, called Mahdi. He’s supposed to die and rise again to judge good and evil. The only obstacle was the pesky Islamic clerics at Najaf who insisted in only hating Jews and Americans. So Ali Baba decides he needs to kill them so he can be the end all that ends all in Islam. He managed to get 700 village idiots to believe him and they were moving to attack the clerics on a big holy day. I don’t know which holy day but it was a big one. Kind of like Labor Day is bigger than Columbus Day I guess.

Well ole Ali Bibi Sheethead took his band of 700 thieves holed up in a compound of houses to smoke their cra…I mean get their marching orders when the US trained Iraqi Army showed up. Oops. I just have one word of advice - COMSEC! Now the kill rate was pretty slow. The initial reports show that 200 former Jund al-Samaa (Soldiers of Heaven) were killed in the 24 hour battle. That’s only one kill ever 7 minutes or so. But the IA will get better and more efficient with practice. About 100 are reported to have surrendered. There is no confirmation that 150 vacationing Frenchmen also surrendered. The Iraqi Army lost 5 and the US lost two helicopter pilots when they crashed. God rest their souls.
