"One day, our grandchildren may ask us what we did when Islamic fascism threatened the free world. Some of us will say we were preoccupied with fighting that threat wherever possible; others will be able to say they fought carbon dioxide emissions. One of us will look bad......"Observers of contemporary society will surely have noted that a liberal is far more likely to fear global warming than a conservative. Why is this?

"After all, if the science is as conclusive as Al Gore,
Time, Newsweek, The New York Times and virtually every other spokesman of the Left says it is, conservatives are just as likely to be scorched and drowned and otherwise done in by global warming as liberals will. So why aren't non-leftists nearly as exercised as leftists are?Do conservatives handle heat better? Are libertarians better swimmers? Do religious people love their children less?....."

N. Korean threat activates shield

I remember back in the early 80's the media, the democrats and most people that I know said that Ronald Reagan was out of his mind. That SDI was "Star wars" They said that he was an "amiable dunce" who was living in a science fiction fantasy world.
"We can't afford it." "It will provoke the Soviet Union."

The Pentagon activated its new U.S. ground-based interceptor missile defense system, and officials announced yesterday that any long-range missile launch by North Korea would be considered a "provocative act."
Poor weather conditions above where the missile site was located by U.S. intelligence satellites indicates that an immediate launch is unlikely, said officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

From Ronald Reagan 1983 "Star wars" speech:
What if free people could live secure in the knowledge that their security did not rest upon the threat of instant U.S. retaliation to deter a Soviet attack, that we could intercept and destroy strategic ballistic missiles before they reached our own soil or that of our allies?........
........I know this is a formidable, technical task, one that may not be accomplished before the end of the century. Yet, current technology has attained a level of sophistication where it's reasonable for us to begin this effort. It will take years, probably decades of efforts on many fronts. There will be failures and setbacks, just as there will be successes and breakthroughs. And as we proceed, we must remain constant in preserving the nuclear deterrent and maintaining a solid capability for flexible response. But isn't it worth every investment necessary to free the world from the threat of nuclear war? We know it is.

Yes Ronny, I know it was.

I'm glad that he did this, regardless of the polls and all the handringing. North Korea scares the hell out of me, but I can sleep at night knowing we have (however new and untried) it.
We would be further along if it were not for all you naysayers who did not believe.

Forked Tongue

Seventy-two coordinated attacks by Islamic terrorists, and not a single word in Western media.



Bangkok, 16 June (AKI) - Police in the southern Thai city of Narathiwat have arrested an Indonesian man who was found in possession of explosives, sparking fears that Muslim fundamentalists are planning new attacks in the south of the country.

A series of 72 bomb attacks by suspected Muslim militants were reported in the past two days in the southern provinces of Yala, Narathiwat and Pattani. Sumatra-born Sabri bin Emaeruding, 37, was arrested in a hut in Narathiwat in which police found material to prepare home-made explosives.

The plan
Here it is. The Democrats have a "new" plan.
A new direction? Away from our present direction of a great economy, winning a war and becoming fiscally responsible! That last one is a joke, sure, the Republicans have not been good at curbing spending but the thought of the left curbing spending is ridiculous! They have always believed in big government and just a quick perusal of their plan shows nothing but big government spending.

"Our new direction will advance a common agenda, seek common ground, and apply common sense in the service of the common good. We know that with a new direction, we can meet our national challenges in a way that makes our nation stronger, our economy more vibrant, and our families more secure. Instead of record deficits, we will go in this new direction in a fiscally sound way. We will make America more competitive and not heap mountains of debt on future generations."

A NEW DIRECTION FOR AMERICA

Democrats offer a New Direction, putting the common good of all Americans first for a change and will:

Make Health Care More Affordable: Fix the prescription drug program by putting people ahead of drug companies and HMO’s, eliminating wasteful subsidies, negotiating lower drug prices and ensuring the program works for all seniors; invest in stem cell and other medical research.

Lower Gas Prices and Achieve Energy Independence: Crack down on price gouging; eliminate billions in subsidies for oil and gas companies and use the savings to provide consumer relief and develop American alternatives, including biofuels; promote energy efficient technology.

Help Working Families: Raise the minimum wage; repeal tax giveaways that encourage companies to move jobs overseas.

Cut College Costs: Make college tuition deductible from taxes; expand Pell grants and slash student loan costs.

Ensure Dignified Retirement: Prevent the privatization of Social Security; expand savings incentives; and ensure pension fairness.

Require Fiscal Responsibility: Restore the budget discipline of the 1990s that helped eliminate deficits and spur record economic growth.

"When it comes to energy, we're focused on the fact that we use 21 million barrels of oil every day, and we import 66 percent of those 21 million barrels of oil," Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid said. "In America, we're in a Stone Age policy by which the rich grow richer, the world becomes warmer and middle class families are being squeezed."

So what is their 'new' direction? It's hard to tell. For example, the minority leader of the House of Representatives recently said that the economy was headed in the 'wrong direction' -- after 33 months of consecutive job gains. And the Senate minority leader issued a press release saying American efforts in Iraq were headed in the 'wrong direction' -- the day after American forces killed terrorist leader [Abu Musab] al-Zarqawi.

A nightmare for the left!
An African American conservative who speaks his mind.
This is a brutely honest conservative view of the politics of the day.

Read the Manual. Know the enemy!
Al Qaeda Training Manual


The attached manual was located by the Manchester (England) Metropolitan Police during a search of an Al Qaeda member's home. The manual was found in a computer file described as "the military series" related to the "Declaration of Jihad." The manual was translated into English and was introduced earlier this year at the embassy bombing trial in New York. The Department is only providing the following selected text from the manual because it does not want to aid in educating terrorists or encourage further acts of terrorism.

Gentlemen of the House of Representatives:

With the utmost attention I have considered your resolution of the 24th. instant, requesting me to lay before your House, a copy of the instructions to the Minister of the United States who negotiated the Treaty with the King of Great Britain, together with the correspondence and other documents relative to that Treaty, excepting such of the said papers as any existing negotiation may render improper to be disclosed.

Do you have your Flag flying?


Flag Day and National Flag Week, 2006
A Proclamation by the President of the United States of America

From our Nation's earliest days, Old Glory has stood for America's strength, unity, and liberty. During Flag Day and National Flag Week, we honor this enduring American symbol and celebrate the hope and ideals that it embodies.

In 1777, the Second Continental Congress established the flag of a young Nation, whose 13 original states were represented in the flag's 13 stars and 13 alternating red and white stripes. Today, the Stars and Stripes commemorate the revolutionary truths of our Declaration of Independence and Constitution. As Americans, we revere freedom and equality, the rights and dignity of every individual, and the supremacy of the rule of law. These fundamental beliefs have guided our country and lifted the fortunes of all Americans, and we have seen their power to transform other nations and deliver hope to people around the world.

During Flag Day and National Flag Week, we also honor the men and women who carry our flag into battle. Through their bravery and sacrifice, they help keep America safe and advance peace and freedom around the globe. By flying the flag, we express our gratitude to these heroes and all those who help ensure that the many blessings of our great country continue for generations to come.

To commemorate the adoption of our flag, the Congress, by joint resolution approved August 3, 1949, as amended (63 Stat. 492), designated June 14 of each year as "Flag Day" and requested that the President issue an annual proclamation calling for its observance and for the display of the flag of the United States on all Federal Government buildings. The Congress also requested, by joint resolution approved June 9, 1966, as amended (80 Stat. 194), that the President issue annually a proclamation designating the week in which June 14 occurs as "National Flag Week" and calling upon all citizens of the United States to display the flag during that week.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim June 14, 2006, as Flag Day and the week beginning June 11, 2006, as National Flag Week. I direct the appropriate officials to display the flag on all Federal Government buildings during that week, and I urge all Americans to observe Flag Day and National Flag Week by flying the Stars and Stripes from their homes and other suitable places. I also call upon the people of the United States to observe with pride and all due ceremony those days from Flag Day through Independence Day, also set aside by the Congress (89 Stat. 211), as a time to honor America, to celebrate our heritage in public gatherings and activities, and to publicly recite the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this sixth day of June, in the year of our Lord two thousand six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirtieth.

GEORGE W. BUSH

Self-Loathing and the Denial of Terrorism


A great article by James Lileks.

You're an enlightened world citizen.
Your T-shirt says "9/11 was an inside job.
" You're pretty sure we're living in a fascist state, that President Bush taps the Dixie Chicks' phones, Christian abortion clinic bombers outnumber jihadis, and the war on "terror" is a distraction from the real threats: carbon emissions and Pat Robertson. Then you learn that 17 people were arrested in a terrorist bomb plot.
How do you process the information?
Let's take it step by step.

Here is a great example of how the left supports our troops!
This is an unbelievably ignorant, bigoted and intolerant view, which,
unfortunately is the view of so many on the left . As you read this keep in mind the face of Sgt. Rafael Peralta, 25 years old and gave his life for us. How do you feel about this man who gave his life?

This film illustrates in crystal clear detail why the U.S. military needs to recruit very dumb, totally uneducated, and mostly southern cracker soldiers who are already racist bastards who have never left their hometowns and believe all the garbage they are taught in school about how we are the good guys, and everything we do is just and right. The Army can then brainwash them to treat other human beings in such a grotesque and inhuman manner. Anyone who had any previous education, intelligence or just plain decency, would never consent to treat people in the unbelievably harsh manner in which these prisoners, most of which were just swept up in raids and had nothing to do with he Taliban, were treated.

Ex-Mossad chief warns of Muslim European cities:

Ephraim Halevy says ‘by mid-century major cities in Germany, Russia will have Muslim majority; ‘we are in the middle of World War Three,’ he adds

Former Mossad Director said Sunday during a meeting of the board of trustees of the Technion in Haifa that in his estimation 'by the middle of the century major cities in Germany will have a Muslim majority and so will many federations in Russia.'
Halevy spoke of the Islamic terror, saying it is “the main problem of the world today.'
'We are in the middle of World War Three, and I see no end to it,' he said."

Which party has the culture of corruption?



The Democrats have released a list of their choices for chairmanships if they were to regain control of the house. One of the most interesting choices is that of the intelligence committee.

Jane Harman has served as the ranking member of the House Select Committee on Intelligence since 2002. Upon gaining control of the House, one would expect Harman to ascend to the chair of this panel. However, she has lost favor with Nancy Pelosi for her support of the war in Iraq and other aspects of the overall war on terror. Harman also was one of the Congressional contingent that received briefings on the two NSA programs that caused such an uproar the past couple of months, until the Democrats found out that the American electorate strongly supported them.

Via-Captains Quarters


Instead of Harman, Nancy Pelosi has chosen Alcee Hastings, an impeached Judge! Have the Democrats no shame? To put a man, who was impeached for conspiracy to obtain a bribe and perjury,
in control of State secrets is insane!

In 1989, Hastings was convicted by the U.S. House on two Articles of Impeachment: perjury and conspiracy to obtain a bribe.[2] He subsequently became only the sixth Judge in U.S. history to be removed from office by the Senate.

They constantly speak of a culture of corruption in the Republican party. This the classic phychological phenomena of projection. They are complety corrupt, they are complety obssesed with power and they will ignore any law or undermine the constitution if they have to. How can any honest person who has a smidge of morals stand behind a party that has such contempt for honesty and the rule of law?
