Love That Judge!

Just when you thought defeatism was about to grab America by the throat thanks to Obama, a military judge with balls defied the appeaser-in-chief and refused to stop military tribunal proceedings against a Gitmo suspect.

Judge James Pohl on Thursday refused to halt the arraignment of Abu al-Nashiri, the alledged mastermind of the USS Cole bombing which killed 17 US sailors and injured 50 more. Judge Pohl said that delaying proceedings against al-Nashiri would harm "the public interest in a speedy trial". Frankly, I could care less if that's true or not. If Judge Pohl is defying Obama purely for political reasons that's alright with me. If he's defying the messiah because he's a military man and knows better than a liberal like Obama ever could just what kind of scum the terrorists are, that's even better. Either way I'm giving the judge a high five.

Pohl is taking a risk here. Two other military judges bowed to Obama's executive order and stopped trials against terror suspects. Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morell said Pohl will be "told to comply with" the order, too. Just how Judge Pohl will be "told" to obey isn't clear, but if the Pentagon is smart it'll leave Judge Pohl alone. Obama will, too. Judge James Pohl is doing what a military man is supposed to do: defend this country. If he's being hampered in that duty by an appeaser-in-chief beholden to the defeatist left he needs our support and our prayers.

I'm with you, Judge Pohl! You're now my boyfriend, along with Geert Wilders (ooooo, kinky!). Keep sticking it to all the Ramzi El Kabooms* unfortunate enough to fall into your hands. Not every American is an Obama loving defeatist. A lot of us still want the military to do what it's supposed to do: strike terror into the hearts of our enemies. Keep doing your bit, JP, to terrorize those stupid enough to touch a hair on an American's head. You've got my thumbs up, and God bless!

*Ramzi El Kaboom isn't original to me. I heard Dennis Miller say it on The O'Reilly Factor and liked it so much I just had to use it in a post.

Bipartisanship We Can Believe In

Barack Obama campaigned on a platform of change. Part of the change he promised to deliver was an end to bitter ideological bickering and a new burst of happy bipartisanship. Well, in the House's showdown over his stimulus package on Wednesday, Obama got a taste of a bipartisanship that he almost certainly wasn't expecting. Rather than have some Republicans coming over to his socialist side, the Big O saw eleven Democrats buck his big government trend and vote with the unanimously nay saying Republicans. Below is a list of the independent Dems who gave America bipartisanship we can believe in...and stuck it to the messiah.

Roll Of Honor

Rep. Allen Boyd (D, FL-2)
Rep. Bobby Bright (D, AL-2)
Rep. Jim Cooper (D, TN-5)
Rep. Brad Ellsworth (D, IN-8)
Rep. Parker Griffith (D, AL-5)
Rep. Paul Kanjorski (D, PA-11)
Rep. Frank Kratovil (D, MD-1)
Rep. Walter Minnick (D, ID-1)
Rep. Collin Peterson (D, MN-7)
Rep. Heath Shuler (D, NC-11)
Rep. Gene Taylor (D, MS-4)

I want to thank these Democratic Representatives for casting a skeptical eye on their leader's grandiose economic vision for America. Keep up the good work guys! Bipartisanship rocks!

Democratic Truth, Part 2

With his executive order to close Gitmo and suspend military tribunals for terrorists and his commitment to funding foreign family planning groups that promote abortion, Obama is really living up to the truth to the left...far left.

Never Fear! Superwuss Is Here!

Ahhhhhhhhh!

That sound you heard was the collective sigh of relief from terrorists worldwide because they now have a friend in the White House.

Just three days into his administration Barack Obama has rushed to the NONdefense of America. With the stroke of a pen Obama kept a campaign promise to his treasonous, far-left base and signed an executive order to close Guantanamo prison within a year. Exactly where will the terrorists now housed at Gitmo go? The Sultan of Surrender hasn't figured that out yet. But since he's so loved in Hollywood maybe he can call up Brangelina and ask them if they'd take in some more deprived Third Worlders. This whole thing just makes me sick.

Obama hasn't been in power for a week and he's committed himself to dismantling the only successful anti-terror strategy America's ever had. His predecessors from Carter to Clinton treated terrorism as a law enforcement matter and we kept getting attacked; George W. Bush treated it as a war and kept this nation safe for seven years. And liberals will never forgive him for that.

Don't be fooled by liberals' squawking about human rights or restoring America's image; they care about neither. The libtards don't want Gitmo closed, military tribunals suspended, and warrantless witertapping stopped because they're commited to civil liberties or improving America's name abroad. No, what they want, what they crave like a starving wolf craves a deer, is defeat. They want defeat for America in Iraq. They want defeat for America in Afghanistan. They want defeat for America in the larger war on terror. And now they have a president who will give it to them.

Liberals will deny this, of course. They will actually try to claim that dismantling Bush's anti-terror policies will make America safer. If, they'll say, we're nice to the terrorists, give them rights, and try to understand them we'll look great to the Muslim world and the Islamic fanatics will be swayed to lay down their arms. And presto! no more terrorist attacks on the USA. Yeah, right. And I want to sell you fried ice cream.

As I've said before, liberals are wedded to a narrative that casts America as uniquely guilty and, therefore, unworthy of the moral right to be right. For liberals America, as Obama's pastor friend Michael Pfleger put it, needs to pay. They believe that America deserves violent blowback. The terrorists, then, aren't really the problem; they're just reacting to America's provocations and injustices against them. America is the problem and that's why liberals want Gitmo closed. We have no right to detain people who are simply giving us what we deserve. That's what the Left believes. That's what Obama believes. And that's why he ordered Guantanamo to close.

Never fear! Superwuss is here!

Smarter Than Most Americans

An Irishman calling himself Jigsaw made the following comment on Wise Conservatism, my friend Robert's blog. I'm sharing it here because this Celt gets it like too many Americans don't.

"Hello, I am from Ireland and watched the campaign with interest! My take on President Obama is how on earth [can] a guy with no experience, no leadership history, and a guy linked to terrorists get to be president? All because he sounds good and looks like he stepped off a film set playing the president? I think it will all end in tears although I hope not for America's sake. If a guy here in Ireland had any links at all to an unrepentant IRA terrorist he would not get elected. I cannot get my head around that one!"

Jigsaw is so right. The Americans who voted for McCain can't get their heads around it, either. And, like Jig, I fear that this will all end in tears. I feel like we are Germany, 1933 only it won't take us twelve years to become Germany, 1945. God HELP America!

The Invasion Begins

I'm ready for the invasion of the Obamabots. BRING 'EM ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NO!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe it. I just read on Yahoo! News that Israel's Security Council (SC) voted to impose a unilateral cease-fire on the Jewish state's offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Pardon my French but, WHAT THE FUCK?!?!

Ehud Olmert, Israel's left-wing prime minister, claimed that Israel's goals have been achieved because "Hamas was hit hard, in its military arms and its government institutions". For the time being Israeli forces will stay in Gaza but will be willing to leave if and when "the time befits [them]." Excuse me, but I thought the goal of this offensive was to stop Hamas rocket attacks on Israel. Those attacks have continued throughout the campaign, so how on earth can Olmert say that Israel's goals have been met?

Frankly, I was afraid this would happen. Ehud Olmert is a leftist. In June 2005 he distinguished himself by infamously declaring that Israel was "tired of winning;...tired of defeating our enemies ". During the '06 Lebanon war, Olmert insisted that there would be no cease-fire without the unconditional return of the Israeli soldiers whose kidnapping triggered the conflict. But then, in true spineless liberal fashion, he not only accepted a cease-fire agreement, he accepted one that didn't even mention the return of Israel's soldiers. So this current change of events isn't really surprising.

Olmert and the Security Council almost certainly caved to international criticism of Israel's effort to defend itself. I mean, Olmert can't really think that anyone believes his assertion that his nation's objectives have been achieved, especially since Hamas continued to fire rockets into Israel even as Olmert was declaring this abominable cease-fire. No, Olmert and the SC are playing the Israeli left's usual spineless game of trying to make the world love them. The game's never worked but the leftists keep playing it to avoid dealing with the fact that they have no commitment to their own nation's survival. Well, let me tell Olmert, the SC , and the whole of Israel's left something.

No one, and I mean no one, cares about Jews but Jews and the few truly pro-Israel, anti-anti-Semitic gentiles like me. The world is NOT going to be impressed by Israel's latest self-defeating action. No matter how many cease-fires Israel makes with her enemies; no matter how much trust she stupidly puts in the "world community"; no matter how many investigations she conducts into her own actions, the Jew hating world will NOT love her!

It's time for the Israelis--for all Jews everywhere--to wake up and smell the proverbial coffee and defend themselves without any concern for world opinion. The IDF must destroy Hamas. That is what the objective must be. That is what victory must mean, and Israel must accept no option but victory. If Palestinian civilians die in the process, so be it. The Jews can't become obsessively concerned about that. The moral responsibility for those deaths lies squarely with Hamas, which uses its own people as human shields. The Jews must stop succumbing to that phoney morality that says they must let themselves be destroyed in order to prove how civilized they are.

I hope the Israeli people will oppose this cease-fire. I hope they will rise up and demand war until victory, whatever the cost. Why? Because for the most part the Jews, like the Kurds, have no friends, and they need to stop putting their collective head on the chopping block trying to make some. It will never work. The Jew hating world will never be satisfied with anything less than no Jews. Consequently, the Jews must unapologetically commit themselves to victory because, and I'll quote Sir Winston Churchill yet again, without victory there is NO survival.

Farewell To The Warrior

I just watched President George W. Bush's farewell speech to the nation and I was greatly moved. In sharp contrast to the cosmically evil being imagined by the viscious and deranged Bush haters, the President showed himself to be a decent, gracious, principled and, unlike most of his critics, patriotic man who, in his eight years as POTUS, was committed to one cause above all else: keeping this country and her people safe. And in that cause George W. Bush succeeded beyond all our wildest dreams.

Since September 11, 2001, there has been NO terrorist attack on this nation. This singular achievement overrides and overshadows ALL ELSE. As a real American, not a liberal, I GREATLY APPRECIATE being defended and protected by George W. Bush.

I greatly appreciate, admire, and am eternally grateful to George W. Bush for standing up and being the WARRIOR that America needed in her darkest hour since Pearl Harbor. And I admire George W. Bush for possessing the courage to be the most hated president in recent history in order to do what needed to be done to protect the nation. Can you imagine? Being hated and savagely maligned by many of his fellow citizens for the crime of protecting them, which is his job.

When the killers came calling they got only one hit. After that George W. Bush took sword in hand and struck terror into the hearts of the terrorists. He laid waste to their cells, their infrastructure, and their state sponsors the way the Allies laid waste to Germany and Japan. He unhesitantly donned the role of warrior because he believed that America was worth defending, and for that the liberals will never forgive him. Their caustic accusations of torture, spying, war crimes, blah, blah, blah are but their way of expressing their core belief that America has no right to be right. But their traitorous cacophony failed to dissuade The Warrior from his task. Through all the strident condemnation of the left-wing bitches, "Dubya" has stood over this nation with a ready sword, and the sand Nazis have not dared to touch us again.

So, it is with a grateful but heavy heart that I bid goodbye to the man who has kept me and every other American, including the snarling ingrates, safe from further harm. Farewell to the Warrior. And God bless.

Sea Kittens?!

I know, I know. I probably shouldn't touch this with the proverbial ten foot pole. Most people with a lick of sense know that those PETA folks are a few sandwiches short of a picnic, but the latest stunt from those people haters is too good to pass up.

It seems that PETA thinks that fish are in need of a moniker makeover. That's right. According to PETA fish should no longer be called fish. PETA wants people to stop eating fish and thinks a big step in that direction is getting people to sympathize with the scaly creatures. To wit, PETA now proposes that fish be called--drum roll please!--sea kittens. You read that right. Sea kittens. Can you say, brain dead? I knew you could!

PETAniks, let me explain something to you. No matter how much you call fish "sea kittens", they will always remain fish! Scaly, finny, bug-eyed, ugly fish. Got it? No amount of Orwellian newspeak will change that. Fish will NEVER be cute and cuddly and normal people will NEVER feel for them the same affection they feel for truly adorable creatures like kittens. To think that people will be moved to aquatic vegetarianism by this insult to their intelligence just shows how unintelligent you are.

And speaking of vegetarianism, PETAniks please stop with the conversion crusade. We meat eaters see nothing wrong with what we do and are NOT going to stop. And it has nothing to do with us lacking compassion. We carnivores are compassionate human beings. We love our families. We love our friends. We even love animals...in their place. We don't put subhuman--yes, subhuman--beings on a pedestal. And we have a better understanding of the natural order of things than you animal "lovers" do.

We carnivores understand that hunting, predation, living things killing and eating other living things to survive, is just part of how nature works. A human hunter is NOT bringing some egregious evil into what had been a previously peaceful environment. Rather, human hunters are just playing by nature's rules. You PETAniks think that people snagging fish on hooks and yanking them out of the water is cruel. You think that calling fish sea kittens will move people to stop doing that. But even if EVERY fisherman hung up his rod and reel millions of fish would continue to die bloody, painful deaths. They'd just be yanked out of the water by the razor sharp teeth of grizzly bears instead of by hooks, or torn to pieces by seals, otters, or other fish. So by trying to ban fishing/hunting you're not saving fish, or any other animals, at all. The idea that you are is downright comical.

Listen PETA folks. If you don't want to eat meat, then don't. If you don't want to wear fur, then don't. If you think that weird looking swimming things are cute, indulge your delusion. Just leave the rest of us alone. We're busy living in the real world and are getting really tired of your sanctimonious, judgmental BS.

Sea kittens? Get a life!

Move Over Sean Connery!

Man oh man! I never knew James Morrison, who plays Bill Buchanan on "24", was so freakin' HOT!!!!! In fact, on previous seasons of the show he wasn't this hot. I don't know what the hell happened but I LOVE IT!!!! Eat your heart out, Sean Connery! There's a new silver fox on the block!

"24" Is Back!

It's baaaaaaaaack!

The hit Fox tv show "24", which didn't air last year due to the writers' strike and Kiefer Sutherland's legal problems, premiered its seventh season tonight. I have been waiting breathlessly for a year for "24" to return, maybe that's why I'm a little disappointed with the first two opening salvos of season seven.

The show got off to a promising start with Jack Bauer, played by Sutherland, getting sassy with a self-righteous, we-don't-torture-nobody's-above-the-law Senator, who was almost certainly inspired by some lame liberal Democrat. But then Jack gets called away by the FBI and the show went a little downhill from there. Not that there wasn't an interesting plot twist. The big shocker is the return of Tony Almeida, supposedly killed in season 5, as an apparent anti-government terrorist. I will keep watching this season just to find out what's up with Tony, if nothing else. But beyond that I'm not too impressed so far.

In this season of "24" America has her first female president played--underwhelmingly, so far--by Cherry Jones. Unlike the first black president, David Palmer, who first appeared in season 1, President Allison Taylor isn't natural. I couldn't shake the feeling that the writers of the show were trying to make a statement by having a female chief executive. President Palmer was simply allowed to be president, and you soon forgot that he was black. I have an unpleasant feeling that I'll never be able to forget that President Taylor is a woman. And that's not all that's bothering me about season 7.

Bauer has been paired with an FBI agent by the name of Renee Walker, played by Annie Wersching. Annie Wersching is dull. There is absolutely NO chemistry between her and Sutherland. None what so ever. The whole time I was watching them together I kept thinking that Wersching might as well have been a man. Of course, a romance between Jack and Renee isn't inevitable but c'mon! If you're gonna put a man and a woman together make sure that they have at least a few sparks flying just to keep things interesting, y'know? But that's not the biggest problem with season 7. Oh no, there's something much, much worse.

The single most atrocious defect in the latest addition of "24" is the addition to the cast of left-wing loon Janeane Garofalo. I kid you not! I don't know what the great minds behind the show were thinking to bring that woman--I use the term loosely--on board, but they sure weren't thinking right. How could they pollute a pro-America show with the likes of her?! Garofalo's presence is going to make watching my favorite tv show an exercise in mental anguish. I can't stop watching, though, because I want to find out what's going on with Tony. Lord, help me!

Hopefully "24" will start delivering its usual in-yo'-face charm and I'll soon forget about this season's shortcomings and just enjoy the ride. Maybe Cherry Jones will grow into her role as president. Maybe Annie Wersching will become interesting...well, I doubt it. Maybe Janeane Garofalo's character, Janis Gold, will get killed off by a terrorist. That would be awesome! Oh, I hope! I hope! I'll watch the next two installments of season 7 tomorrow night and keep my fingers crossed. Hee! Hee!

Ode To The IDF

It's about time that Israel cleaned house in Gaza and I'm thrilled to see it happening. So thrilled that I've written a humble ode to the IDF, sung to the tune of AC/DC's song "Rock 'N' Roll Train", from the Aussie band's killer new cd "Black Ice". So sing along fellow friends of Israel, and hail the IDF!!!!

Ode To The IDF (aka Fightin' Back!)
by Seane-Anna

Hear the shofar!
Trumpet of war!
The Jewish state's asleep no more,
she's rockin' Gaza to the core!

Do it boys, you're alright.
Hebrew lightening strikes!
C'mon, wield your kosher might.

The faithfuls' Motherland
has taken sword in hand.
She's waging war without no shame,
and sending Gaza up in flames!

Do it boys, you're alright.
Hebrew lightening strikes!
Eradicate that Arab Reich.
Shoot your fire through the mist,
make 'em feel a Jewish fist!
Fight hard, give 'em all
a taste of Jewish shock and awe!

On the way up!

Watch out world,
the IDF's fightin' back!

Sons of the mighty king
are making Pali ears ring!

With pounding in your chest,
destroy that rodents' nest!
Survival is at stake
and you know the Jews can't hesitate.

Do it boys, you're alright.
Hebrew lightening strikes!
Let loose and wield your kosher might!

There it is folks, my tribute to the Israeli Defense Forces. And there couldn't be a better song to sing it to than "Rock 'N' Roll Train". So sing it, friends of Israel, and pray that God will give His chosen ones the complete and irreversible victory over their enemies that they so richly deserve. Hail Israel!!!!

Jewish Shock and Awe!

And they're off!

After a week of punishing air strikes, Israel has finally launched its much needed ground offensive against the terrorist nest called the Gaza Strip. Hamas responded with jihadi bluster, claiming that Gaza would be a "graveyard" for Israel and threatening to kidnap Israeli soldiers. Typical. The ground invasion won't be short or easy, as Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak told his countrymen, but Israel's military might is more than enough to crush Hamas once and for all...if she has the resolve to do so. And that's where I'm a little worried.

Despite being surrounded by homicidal enemies on all sides, much of Israeli society seems to suffer from the same self-defeating, "humane" liberalism that infects so much of the West. This liberalism is epotimized by a loathing of violence in our own defense coupled with a pathetic eagerness to excuse violence used against us by our enemies. And when we--Westerners and Israelis--do defend ourselves we incessantly wring our hands over our enemy's civilian casualities. Never mind that our foes care nothing about our civilian casualties, or that such handwringing can impede victory. Showing the enemy they feel his pain is THE most important thing to the "humane" ones. Victory is distasteful to them and Israel appears to be showing signs of confusion in her objectives in Gaza.

Israel claims that its goal in this invasion is not to reoccupy Gaza but to destroy Hamas' terrorist infrastructure. But it seems impossible to permanently achieve the latter without doing the former. Israel has hinted she'd be open to a diplomatic solution in Gaza, provided that international monitors are sent to oversee Hamas' compliance with any cease fire agreement. Surely, though, Israel learned from her 2006 Lebanon fiasco that the international community can't be counted on to make Arab terrorists do anything. The UN was supposed to have disarmed Hezboallah at the end of the '06 Lebanon war but the Hez is still armed to the teeth today. No, the world will not do what needs to be done to save Jews.

If Israel wants Hamas destroyed she must do it herself. And if destroying Hamas means reoccupying Gaza and driving every Gazan Palestinian into the Sinai desert or the Mediterranean Sea, so be it. Israel must not send her sons into battle unless she's prepared to let them do whatever it takes to win. Israel must stop kowtowing to the opinion of a Jew hating world and make her own survival the only thing that matters. She must fight in Gaza until Hamas is utterly, irretrieviably destroyed and that lesson is not lost on the West Bank. I, for one, will be praying that God give Israel the strength and resolve to shatter her adversaries, as He did in the Old Testament.

Let the Jews arise and let their enemies be scattered!!!!

Happy New Year!!!!

The guns are going off!!!! It's 2009!!!! I wish everyone a wonderful, prosperous, and blessed New Year! Cheers!!!!

Where The Heck Are My Videos?!?!

Hey friends! Well, you can't tell by looking but I sent a couple of Christmas music videos from YouTube to PGZ. They were really good videos; I wanted them to be visible for Christmas but they're STILL not here! I don't know what's wrong. I guess the vids are stuck in the cyberspace equivalent of a black hole. Whenever they show up I'll leave them up so y'all can see them. I think you'll like them even though it'll be way past Christmas when--if?--they pop up. Has anyone else had trouble sending YT vids to their blogs lately?

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, and a Blessed New Year to everyone! (Even those who voted for him).

Hugs and kisses,

What We Can Learn From The Munchkins

Last night I watched "The Wizard of Oz" for the first time in years and while I was enjoying the film it suddenly occurred to me that this movie can actually teach us something. I realized that during the scene where Dorothy first arrives in Oz. As you may recall, Dorothy's house is picked up by a tornado and dropped into Munchkinland, falling on the wicked witch of the east (WWE) and killing her. After being reassured by Glenda, the good witch of the north, that Dorothy is not a witch herself the Munchkins emerge from hiding and begin thanking Dorothy for killing the wicked witch of the east. Then they start wondering if the WWE is really dead and then start rejoicing when it's confirmed that she is. The cute little Munchkins sing gleefully over the WWE's demise. It's really quite morbid...and informative.

The Munchkins rejoiced over the death of their enemy. And they were totally unashamed and unapologetic about it, and therein lies the lesson. We should be the same way about the defeat, destruction, and/or death of OUR enemies, from the Reds to the sand Nazis. Every time we blow al-Qaeda operatives to hell we should dance in the streets. Every time Israel scores against Hamas scum we should dance in the streets. When our great troops overthrew the mad tyrant Saddam Husein we should've danced in the streets. When our great troops kicked jihadi ass in Fallujah we should've danced in the streets. When our enemies are destroyed; when our enemies are defeated; when our enemies are scattered before us, WE SHOULD DANCE IN THE STREETS!!!!

Such sentiment is anathema to the PC whipped, left-wing, "peace" crowd. For those people, to achieve victory over our enemies, to kill them and be happy about it, is THE unforgivable sin. And it has nothing to do with hating war. The "peace" crowd is opposed to and appalled by victory, and any celebration thereof, because they are against America not war. This crowd subscribes to a worldview that casts America as uniquely guilty and, consequently, undeserving of the moral right to be right. That's why America winning is so repugnant to them. These people need to be tread under by tanks just like our enemies, because that is exactly what they are.

It's time to kick the "peace" crowd to the curb and follow the example of the adorable Munchkins. They raised their sweet, innocent voices in praise of their enemy's demise and so should we. And this was no quick, painless death they were celebrating. The wicked witch of the east was CRUSHED to death. Yet a joyous cry went out in Munchkinland: Ding! Dong! The witch is dead!

Winning is nothing to be ashamed of. Good SHOULD triumph over evil, and America is the good guy here. We're right; they're wrong. We win; they lose. We kill; they die. And then we CELEBRATE. Just like the Munchkins.

Anger Up! Anger Down!

As some of you may know I didn't take the election results well. To put it bluntly, I was PISSED!!!! I wrote a short post on the election venting my anger, which included hoping for the Big O's assassination. Well, I've calmed down a bit. I'm no longer angry at Obama personally--although I wouldn't shed any tears if he ate a bullet--but I am still pretty roiled at all the people who voted for him, especially the hardcore libtards. In fact, I think it was them whom I was really angry with all along. So my anger at Obama is down, but I'm still pretty peeved at the electorate who put him in power.

What really riles me about the libtard voters is how they want Obama to be accepted and respected as president when they gave neither acceptance nor respect to Bush. Why, I ask, should I respect Obama? Because he's the president elect? Well, Bush is the president yet both the American and international Left has given him nothing but disdain, to put it mildly, for eight years. But now that their god is about to take office they suddenly believe in respecting the president. Their hypocrisy is shameless. Jerks!

Alan Colmes, of Fox's "Hannity and Colmes" show, is one of the better known loony left hypocrites. Colmes has been just shocked that some conservatives seem eager to tar Obama with scandal in this onging Blagojevich affair. Why, Colmes has whined, don't conservatives give Jesus--oops!--I mean Obama the benefit of the doubt? Why do they seem so eager to drag the Messiah before Pontius Pilate? Colmes is such a liberal diehard that I'm sure he sees no inconsistency in his moaning over the "unfairness" being heaped on li'l ol' Obama. He just doesn't get that conservatives are treating Obama exactly the same way that Colmes and the rest of the Left has treated and continues to treat George W. Bush. In Colmes' universe criticizing and disrespecting the president is ok ONLY when the critics are liberals and the president is conservative/Republican. But when conservatives criticize or disrespect a liberal president well, that's just downright mean. Hey Alan, get a grip!

For the last eight years liberals preached and practiced political and ideological hatred with a vengeance. They trashed George W. Bush mercilessly, gave moral support to our enemies, and slandered our troops from the highest halls of power. In doing this, they showed not the slightest interest in truth, fairness, decorum, or the good of the nation. All they cared about was creating a state of despair that they hoped would propel them back into domestic power. And now that domestic power is theirs they want civility to reign. I don't think so!!!!

Obama's pastor, Jeremiah Wright, once talked about chickens coming home to roost. Well, Obama and his libtard devotees must now contend with the chickens of partisan animosity landing right on their doorstep. So far they've shown little stomach for catching the kind of vitriol they so liberally--pun intended--threw out. It just strengthens my conviction that "liberal" is another name for "coward". If American left-wingers can't run with the big dogs they need to stay under the porch and leave the country in the hands of real men. And while real men might not be Bush and Co., they sure as hell ain't Obama and his wimpy worshippers.

I'm BAAAAAAAACK!!!!

Hello friends! Well, I'm back! I FINALLY got my own internet service; my brother-in-law installed it last Friday and I've been playing on the net ever since. I haven't done much blog reading or posting; I've just been surfing the net and playing games on Webkinz, hee hee. I've been staying up until 1 or 2 in the morning enjoying the feel of the keyboard beneath my fingers. It's HEAVEN to be back in cyber space (or is it cyberspace?). And how did I get my Mom to go along with this? Well, I put her on the spot at Thanksgiving. While she and I were enjoying the delightful company of my nephew and his cousins I told her that I was getting internet service for the house. Well, Mom was sitting among a bunch of teenagers. What was she going to do? The one thing she couldn't do was throw a fit. I thought that would come later, when we got home, but Mom remained calm and I ordered wireless internet from the phone company. And here I am!!!! I'll soon be posting regularly again. For right now I'm just enjoying being able to get online at home, any time I want; no more library computers. LOVE IT!!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to my blogging buddies and the 48% of Americans who voted for McCain! The rest of you can go to hell, unless you're related to me by blood, law, or love.

Judgment Day

Well, Obama won. Driven insane by fears of an economic apocalypse, the American people chose to elect as POTUS a far-left loon whose only "achievement" is being Black, rather than a hero whose patriotism is above reproach. DISGUSTED doesn't begin to describe how I feel. Imagining the Messiah's assasination was the only way I could get through the day Wednesday. And I do hope he gets assasinated. On live tv. Like Oswald. Then I'll know God is smiling on America. Seriously.

When It Rains It Pours

Hey friends! Just checking in again. Things have gotten much better at work. My poor feet are holding up much better now; I wish I could say the same for my internet connection. The day after I wrote my last post my connection went kaput so now I have to get on the computer at the library, which really sucks. The library's computers are so slooooooow. A snail could slither from L.A. to New York and back before the library's computers will pull up a page. It SUCKS!!!!! Hopefully, I'll soon be able to get a new connection up and running at home. Course, having a mother who's fighting me on that every step of the way doesn't help*. Somehow Mom doesn't understand that she won't be the one paying for the connection. Go figure. Anyway, I'll be back in my blogging groove soon, I hope. In the meantime friends, keep on taking libtard names and kicking libtard ass. That's how we badass conservatives roll. Hooah!!!!


*I live with my Mom because she had some health problems, but she's now doing great so I'll be moving on soon; this fighting over things like an internet connection is for the birds!

I'm Still Here

Hey friends! Just wanted to let y'all know that I'm still here. I started a new job two weeks ago that's got me so tired I can barely see straight. I've tried to start two posts in the last couple of weeks but just didn't have the mental energy to complete them. Monday I start my third week on the job and I'm soooooo hoping things will improve. Getting used to standing for 10 hours a day has proven to be slower, tougher, and way more painful than I thought it'd be. I went home in tears Thursday because my feet hurt me so badly. I was on my feet all day when I worked in day care but it felt nothing like this. Course, I wasn't working 10 hour days then, either. Hopefully I'll develop some stamina soon. Until then I may post a few videos just so y'all can have something new to see. Keep checking in with me. Hopefully soon I'll be back into my blogging groove. Cheers!

In Memoriam

WE WILL NEVER FORGET!!!!

Then And Now

Today is the seventh anniversary of the worst day in modern American history. I'll never forget where I was that day.

I was sitting in my car at the library, having gotten an unexpected day off from work. I was waiting for the library to open. Other people were standing in front of the library's doors and I heard snippets of their conversation. New York...closed down...attack. What the heck was going on? I turned on my car radio and was stunned by what I heard. I couldn't believe it. As soon as the library opened I made a bee line for the computers and promptly pulled up Yahoo! News. What I'd heard on my car radio was true. America was under attack. Again, I couldn't believe it. I suddenly understood what the Greatest Generation felt like on December 7th, 1941. My generation, and the ones immediately below it, were suddenly, terrifyingly faced with our own Pearl Harbor. Sadly, in the weeks, months and years since September 11, 2001 we have not lived up to the gallantry and heroism of the Pearl Harbor generation.

After Japan's attack on our base in Hawaii the nation responded not only with outrage but with a steely determination to utterly defeat our enemy. Men eagerly enlisted in the armed forces and boys as young as 12 lied about their age to enlist, too. Hollywood actors such as Clark Gable and Jimmy Stewart left their lives of wealth and comfort to become warriors for their native land. Stateside Hollywood celebrities enthusiastically supported the war effort with unapologetically pro-American and anti-enemy movies and documentaries.

Elsewhere on the homefront people bought millions of dollars worth of war bonds to finance America's war machine. Americans endured rationing and grew victory gardens so our fighting men would have the resources they needed to stay strong. Women who never expected to work outside the home took jobs in factories to make the bombs and bullets, tanks and planes, ships and rifles needed for victory. And there was no doubt in anyone's mind that victory was the ONLY option in that war and that America was entitled to it. How different from America today!

Today, we are a nation plagued by fifth columnists convinced of our wickedness and committed to our defeat. Yes, there was an outburst of truly inspiring and heady patriotism immediately after the dastardly deeds on 9/11, but it lasted only a year at most. Even in the immediate aftermath of the tragedy the traitor contigent within our country brazenly showed off. Only a few days after the horror Jeremiah Wright, presidential candidate Barack Obama's pastor, was shouting "God damn America!" from his pulpit. And Katrina vanden Heuvel, editor of the left-wing magazine The Nation, forbid her daughter to fly Old Glory outside her bedroom window, saying the flag stood for fascism.

Some liberals, to be fair, did join real Americans in a show of patriotism and righteous rage. They proudly flew the flag from their homes and vehicles and clearly understood who the enemy was. But that was just a reaction to the shock of 9/11; it was not an expression of their true selves. As soon as the shock wore off those flag waving progressives quickly snapped out of what, for them, was temporary insanity and reverted to their hate America nature.

The further we've gotten from the events of that horrific day in 2001 the bolder the traitor contigent has become. Ask a progressive whom they hate and 9 out of 10 will say George W. Bush, not Osama ben Laden. The man who orchestrated the slaughter of 3000 of their fellow countrymen barely registers on most liberals' radar screens. But the man who's protected us from Osama and those like him is hated with a virulence and irrationality resembling the Nazis' hatred for the Jews. Just as the Nazis blamed the Jews for every evil under the sun, so leftists blame Bush the same way. It would be hilarious if the haters weren't deadly serious.

To bolster their disconnected-from-reality hatred of Bush and America, the traitor contingent invented the 9/11 conspiracy industry. Now their hatred could be made to seem lucid by claiming that 9/11 was an inside job, perpetrated by a cosmically evil president bent on destruction of the Constitution and world domination. This is something straight out of the Islamofascists' handbook. Again, it would be funny if it weren't so serious. And there's more.

Not content to stew in their hatred for America, liberals are compelled to work for this country's defeat. They expose our tactics against the terrorists in their newspapers, claiming that Americans have a right to know what's going on. They oppose every anti-terror measure proposed or enacted by the Bush administration. And they push for the release of terrorists from Gitmo so they can fight us again. Liberals claim that they're doing this to protect America. They say that if Americans would oppose the Bush administration and release terrorists the world will love us and terrorism will cease. Yeah, right. The real reason liberals have worked tirelessly to undermine the war on terror is because they don't believe America is worth defending.

Progressives are wedded to a pernicious narrative that casts America as uniquely guilty and therefore deserving of any violent blowback that occurs. The terrorists are just reacting to the injustices we've inflicted on them. We have no right to fight back because their violence is really our fault. This is the self-hating reasoning that liberals are captive to. This, not a genuine revulsion against war, is the real motive behind their "anti-war" activism. And this is why our reation to 9/11 pales in comparison to our reaction to Pearl Harbor. There were liberals in America on December 7th, 1941 but they were not corrupted by the treasonous ideology that grips the left today.

As we remember the horror of September 11, 2001 we must understand that we're now fighting two wars, one foreign and one domestic. We must beware of the internal enemy who would serve our nation on a silver platter to our external foes. The fifth columnists may look like us, talk like us, dress like us, and even pray like us, but they are not for us; they are not on our side. On this day of all days we must grasp that unpleasant fact and deal with it. Our nation and our lives depend on it.

God bless America and God bless Victory!

Pro-Life Women

Sarah Palin's pick as John McCain's VP has elicited a torrent of responses from across the political spectrum. One of the almost instant speculations that arose was that picking Palin was McCain's effort to woo Hilary Clinton's disgruntled female supporters. Opponents of this view argued that however unhappy the female Clintonistas may be they wouldn't rush to vote for a conservative, pro-life woman. I believe that the opponents of McCain are right on this point, and that bothers me.

I'm a pro-life woman. I hold this view deeply. I've never participated in any pro-life protest nor have I joined any pro-life organization, but my pro-life belief definitely influences how I vote. In fact, being pro-life was a deciding factor in me switching my allegiance from the Democratic to the Republican party. Millions of other women believe as I do and I resent the way we are dismissed by feminists, liberals, and all others who claim to speak for women.

Feminists always portray anyone who's pro-life as being against women's rights. What, then, must they think of pro-life women? Do they think we're too stupid to know what's in our best interests? Do they think we're benighted relics who'll soon go the way of the dinosaurs? Do they think we're brainwashed by men or religion? Whatever feminists think of pro-life women it's certain they don't respect us, else they wouldn't act like we don't exist. It's as if they believe that ignoring us will invalidate our existence and our beliefs. It won't.

Sarah Palin's pro-life views will definitely be used against her in this election. She'll be condemned as anti-woman even though she's a woman herself. Being a woman won't protect Sarah from attacks from abortion devotees outraged by what they see as gender treason. We distaff pro-lifers are a strong folk, though. We can withstand the vitriol of feminists who babble on about "sisterhood" while rigorously excluding us from their liberals-only sorority. We won't let their hatred stop us. We will continue our struggle against the legalized murder of "inconvenient" life. We will support our Sarah. We will not falter, we will not fail and, come November, we will not lose.

On Sarah Palin's Speech...

...two words: HOME RUN!!!!!

Enter Sarah Palin

Well, he did it. Today John McCain finally revealed his running mate, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, and I'm not quite sure what to make of his choice. Unlike some people, I know who Sarah Palin is, having seen her on The Glenn Beck Show; I'm just not sure she's going to do McCain any good.

Picking Palin as his running mate deprived McCain of his chief weapon against Obama, namely, his inexperience. True, Palin is not running for president like Obama but given McCain's age the possibility of her becoming president is fairly high, making her inexperience a legitimate issue for the Obama campaign and the nation at large. It's rather incomprehensible to me why the McCain camp would give away it's strongest argument against Obama.

On the upside, Palin is a true conservative and a poster child for traditional family values. Her decision to have her youngest child, who was born with Down's Syndrome, reflects her pro-life commitment. Palin is a proud member of the NRA and favors drilling in ANWR. She opposes same sex marriage and has been willing to buck her party's establishment when necessary. All this will almost certainly help McCain with the Republican party's conservative base, which has been wary of the Arizona senator from the beginning of his campaign. Also, Palin's 70% approval rating as governor could bring some much needed shine to the tarnished Republican brand.

The fact that Palin is a woman will probably also help McCain. The Obama camp, and the MSM which supports it, will have to walk a fine line when criticizing Palin so as not to appear sexist. This is important because many of Hilary Clinton's supporters believe she lost to Obama due to sexism, and they're still angry about it. If Obama comes down too hard on Palin it could confirm the Clintonistas' suspicions and push them into McCain's corner, if only out of spite. So if McCain was crazy to pick Sarah Palin for his VP he might have been crazy like a fox. We'll find out November 4.

Democratic Truth

I found this on a blog--sorry, I don't remember the name--when I was looking through the link field on another blog I read. I just had to post this here. Wanna know what you'll get if you elect Obama? Take a look to the left.

My Other Blog

Hey friends! I just wanted to ask you to take a look at my blog Hammer Folk Woman. I just wrote a new post there and I want to know what you think. So if you stop by leave a comment, ok? Thanks.

PS

To get to Hammer Folk Woman just click on the link under the "Seane-Anna-gans" title. And so you know, the word Hesperia that's in the post is one of the words I use for Western civilization. It's from the Greek hesperos meaning western. And Hammer Folk? That term is from Charles Martel who was nicknamed The Hammer for the way he ferociously defended France and Christendom from Muslim invaders in the 8th century. The Hammer Folk, then, are those in the West who are as committed to the defense of our civilization against Islamic invasion as Charles Martel was.

No Outrage, No Protest

Is it just me, or have other people noticed the deafening silence from the peace groups over Russia's brutal invasion of Georgia?

The conflict started nearly a week ago when Georgia dispatched troops to try and retake the breakaway province of South Ossetia. The result was a devastating counterattack from Russia, not South Ossetia. Georgia, crippled by the Russian assault, called for a cease fire which Russia agreed to then promptly violated today. There is speculation that the real reason for the Russian offensive is not to help the South Ossetians but to topple Georgia's pro-American government. And where are the peace activists?

Some might say that Georgia provoked Russia's invasion by trying to retake South Ossetia. I don't buy that. Georgia sent it's military ONLY into land it considers its own, however much the Ossetians might dispute that claim. The Georgians NEVER entered Russia. Therefore the Russians had no right to invade Georgia proper in order to aid South Ossetia. All they had to do was drive the Georgians out of the province; they had no just cause to set one toe in Georgia itself. And then the Russians brazenly violated the cease fire by encroaching on the Georgian city of Gori. Again I ask, where are the peace activists?

Where are those people who vehemently opposed the Iraq War before even one US soldier had entered that country? Where are the people who loudly and sanctimoniously proclaimed their revulsion to war? Where are the people who raucously displayed their virulent hatred of George W. Bush? Why aren't they now marching in the streets against Russia and Putin?

By invading Georgia Russia has committed a brazen act of imperialism. It's trying to redominate the countries it lost after the collapse of the Soviet Union. For years Russia has been outraged by Georgia's closeness to the West, especially America, and it's efforts to join NATO. The current fighting is Russia's attempt to punish Georgia for the crime of building democracy and acting like the sovereign nation that it is.

So, Russia invades an independent country in order to destroy its democracy and sovereignty and the peace activists say nothing. America invades an independent country in order to topple a murderous tyrant and the peaceniks have a tantrum. There's something wrong with that.

As I said above, there is speculation that Russia's goal is to overthrow Georgia's pro-American president--and send a warning to the US. I suspect that objective is one reason why the notoriously anti-American peaceniks aren't objecting to Russia's aggression. Any violence is ok with them if it's targeted, however indirectly, against America. Another possible reason for the silence is Russia's control over Europe's energy supply. Western Europe, particularly Germany and Italy, gets much of its gas and oil from Russia. Ticking off the slavic bear might have unpleasant consequences for Europeans this winter. So the shameful silence from the peace lovers is a combination of anti-Americanism and cowardly self-interest.

I'm praying to God that He will deliver tiny Georgia from the Russian giant. I'm not praying for peace. I'm convinced that the so-called struggle for peace is in truth warfare by other means. And since that's the case I pray for deliverance; I pray for victory. Victory for Georgia! And God damn the peace lovers.

Why Not "Hail Victory!"?

Hail Victory!!! Two words that are rejected and even hated by not only liberals but a lot of conservatives, too.

When Barack Obama took his I'm-the-Messiah tour through Europe he gave a speech before the Victory Column in Berlin. Conservative talk show host Glenn Beck derided Obama's choice of venue because, he felt, it was too closely associated with the Nazis and their battle cry of "Sieg heil!", or "Hail victory!". While I share Beck's disdain for Obama's rock star jaunt through the Old Continent, I totally disagree with his discomfort with the Victory Column location and with the cry "Hail victory!"

Yes, I get the Nazi thing. And no, I'm not a Nazi. But neither am I someone who blindly rejects things simply because of their untoward association. The hard truth is that the Nazis were right to yell, "Seig heil!". And we'd be just as right to yell it, too.

What is the alternative to "Hail victory!"? What should we cry instead? Hail defeat? Hail slavery--or humiliation, occupation, or genocide--which usually follows defeat? The truth is that victory is good. It is good for nations to win. When conflict befalls a nation victory should be sought with all the urgency, resolution and singlemindness of a wolf pursuing a wounded deer. Defeat should never be an option.

Unfortunately, defeat is not only an option, it is an eagerly sought objective for a dangerously large segment of the Western world, including America. Gripped by an incomprehensible self-hatred and a corrupt "anti-racism" that insists non-Whites can do no wrong, Western progressives have sided with their civilization's worst enemy. From pop stars openly hoping for a Muslim victory to an Israeli PM declaring his country was "tired of winning", progressives purvey the poison of defeatism from every available venue.

To these woefully misguided people pursuing victory, or simply naming the enemy, is "warmongering". Peace, they think, can be had only by ensuring the West's defeat, thereby showing the enemy our good intentions. If we show the foe that we mean him no harm, the theory goes, he'll abandon his aggression and become a reasonable, well-behaved member of the international community. Progressives--and irrational pacifists--followed this theory during Hitler's rise to power, the Cold War, the Vietnam war, and now during the War on Terror. That this theory has been a monumentally tragic failure in practice doesn't deter each new generation of progressives from having an almost religious devotion to it.

Working for the West's defeat is not a noble show of peacemaking. It is, rather, a crass display of cowardice, useful idiocy, and betrayal of the West's highest principles. Peace and the survival of Western civilization can be secured only by resolutely and totally crushing the enemy. The West needs another leader who will bluntly tell us, "Victory at all cost...for without victory there is no survival". Without victory there is no survival.

Hail Victory!

No Apology Necessary. Duh!!!!

When are we going to get past this noxious notion that America is, or has been, uniquely evil in her history and that she needs to atone for her sins by grovelling to every group that isn't White, straight, and/or Christian? Yesterday the ditsy Dems in the House issued an official apology to Blacks for slavery and segregation, as if that was the most pressing issue facing our great country.

Forget sky high gas prices. Forget the refusal of Dems to let America drill for her own oil. Forget the war on terrorism. Forget mounting foreclosures. No, the one thing America must do is apologize for something that ended over 100 years ago. Without that mea culpa the country can't go on! Gimme a break!

Let me tell you atonement crazy, guilt ridden, libtard weirdos something. I wasn't a slave. My parents weren't slaves. My grandparents weren't slaves. My great-grandparents weren't slaves. My great-great-grandparents weren't slaves. To get to anyone in my family who MIGHT have been a slave you have to go back FIVE generations. I DON'T NEED YOUR F--KING APOLOGY!!!!

Representatives, Senators, get on with the nation's business, and that business is NOT apologizing for slavery. America was NOT the only country in the history of mankind to practice slavery, and Blacks are NOT the only people to ever be held as slaves. Slavery is a HUMAN sin, not a sin only of Whites, Christians, and/or Americans. If Blacks really cared about getting an apology for slavery, if it really meant something to them, why aren't they demanding one from the Arabs, who traded in African slaves for over a thousand years? Too bad no one in the House had the cajones to bring up that bit of inconvenient history.

This whole apologizing-for-slavery con is just that, a con, a way to stoke the fire of White guilt which is one of the engines driving the left's lust for big government. Making and keeping Whites feeling guilty works for the left because such Whites become so obsessed with assuaging their guilt that they forget about everything else. They'll support, excuse, ignore, justify, rationalize, and/or vote for ANYTHING in order to do penance for their (imagined) racial sins. What's right for the country takes a back seat to their desperate need to prove they're good Whites.

Well, I don't need any White person proving anything to me. If you treat me right you're kosher in my book. If you don't, you're an a**hole. Even if you're Black. Now go and do what's right for America...and put your racial manners textbook in the trash where it belongs.

Illegal Alien Population Down By 11%...

Obama The Messiah

I was going to write my own review of Obama's rock star world tour but then I heard an excellent review of the Golden Child's journey on The Mike Gallagher Show. This review, written by British journalist Gerard Butler, is a hilarious send up of the worship--yes, worship--that millions in Europe (and America) are giving to Obama. As a Stalinesque personality cult builds around the big O Butler's essay, funny as it is, should serve as a warning to all who are tempted to put their faith in this or any man.


He Ventured Forth To Bring Light To The World

by

Gerard Butler

And it came to pass, in the eight year of the reign of the evil Bush the Younger (The Ignorant), when the whole land from the Arabian desert to the shores of the Great Lakes had been laid barren, that a Child appeared in the wilderness. The Child was blessed in looks and intellect. Scion of a simple family, offspring of a miraculous union, grandson of a typical White person and an African peasant. And yea, as he grew, the Child walked in the path of righteousness, with only the occasional detour into the odd weed and a little blow.

When he was twelve years old they found him in the temple in the City of Chicago, arguing the finer points of community organisation with the Prophet Jeremiah and the Elders. And the Elders were astonished at what they heard and said among themselves: "Verily, who is this Child that he opens our hearts and minds to the audacity of hope?"

In the great Battles of Caucus and Primary he smote conniving Hillary, wife of the deposed King Bill the Priapic and their barbarian hordes of Working Class Whites.

And so it was, in the fullness of time, before the harvest month of the appointed year, the Child ventured forth--for the first time--to bring light unto all the world.

He travelled fleet of foot and light of camel, with a small retinue that consisted only of his loyal disciples of the tribe of the Media. He ventured first to the land of the Hindu Kush, where the Taleban had harbored the viper of al-Qaeda in their bosom, raining terror on all the world.

And the Child spake and the tribes of Nato immediately loosed the Caveats that had previously bound them. And in the great battle that ensued the forces of light were triumphant. For as long as the Child stood with his arms held aloft, the enemy suffered great blows and the threat of terror was no more.

From there he went forth to Mesopotamia where he was received by the great ruler al-Maliki and al-Maliki spake unto him and blessed his Sixteen Month Troop Withdrawal Plan even as the imperial warrior Petraeus tried to destroy it. And lo, in Mesopotamia a miracle occurred. Even though the Great Surge of Armor that the evil Bush had ordered had been a terrible mistake, a waste of vital military resources and doomed to end in disaster, the Child's very presence suddenly brought forth a great victory for the forces of light.

And the Persians, who saw all this and were greatly fearful, longed to speak with the Child and saw that the Child was the bringer of peace. At the mention of his name they quickly laid aside their intrigues and beat their uranium swords into civil nuclear energy ploughshares.

From there the Child went up to the city of Jerusalem, and entered through the gate seated on an ass. The crowd of network anchors who had followed him from afar cheered "Hosana" and waved palm fronds and strewed them at his feet.

In Jerusalem and in surrounding Palestine, the Child spake to the Hebrews and the Arabs, as the Scripture had foretold. And in an instant, the lion lay down with the lamb, and the Israelites and the Ishmaelites ended their long enmity and lived for ever after in peace.

As word spread througout the land about the Child's wondrous works, peoples from all over flocked to hear him; Hittites and Abbasids, Obamacons and McCainiacs, Cameroonians and Blairites.

And they told of strange and wondrous things that greeted the news of the Child's journey. Around the world, global temperatures began to decline, and the ocean levels fell, and the great warming was over. The Great Prophet Algore of Nobel and Oscar, who many had believed was the anointed one, smiled and told his followers that the Child was the one generations had been waiting for. And there were other wonderful signs.

In the city of the Street at the Wall, spreads on interbank interests rates dropped like manna from Heaven and rates on credit default swaps fell to the ground as dead birds from the almond tree, and the people who had lived in foreclosure were able to borrow again. Black gold gushed from the ground at prices well below $140 per barrel. In hospitals across the land the sick were cured even though they were uninsured. And all because the Child had pronounced it.

And this is the testimony of one who speaks the truth and bears witness to the truth so that you might believe. And he knows it is the truth for he saw it all on CNN and the BBC and in the pages of the New York Times.

Then the Child ventured forth from Israel and Palestine and stepped onto the shores of the Old Continent. In the land of Queen Angela of Merkel, vast multitudes gathered to hear his voice, and he preached to them at length. But when he had finished speaking his disciples told him the crowd was hungry, for they had had nothing to eat all the hours they had waited for him.

And so the Child told his disciples to fetch some food but all they had was five loaves and a couple of frankfurters. So he took the bread and the frankfurters and blessed them and told the disciples to feed the multitudes. And when all had eaten their fill, the scraps filled twelve baskets.

Thence he travelled west to Mount Sarkozy. Even the beauteous Princess Carla of the tribe of the Bruni was struck by awe and she was great in love with the Child, but he was tempted not.

On the seventh day he walked across the Channel of the Angles to the ancient land of the hooligans. There he was welcomed with open arms by the once great prophet Blair and his successor, Gordon the Leper, and his successor, David the Golden One. And suddenly, with the men appeared the archangel Gabriel and the whole host of the heavenly choir, cherubim and seraphim, all praising God and singing: "Yes, We Can."


Scary, huh?

Feeling Vindicated

Last night I saw a man on The Glenn Beck Show who made me feel really good. The man's name is Andrew Klavan and he's a conservative in Hollywood. Glenn Beck had Klavan on his show to promote his new novel "Empire of Lies", a political thriller with an evangelical Christian as the hero.

What I liked about Andrew Klavan was that he echoed an issue that weighs on my own heart; an issue that I feel too many conservatives still don't fully grasp the significance of. Klavan said that conservatives have lost the culture and that we have no one to blame but ourselves. He said the Left dominates the entertainment industry--publishing as well as Hollywood--because conservatives surrendered it to them without a fight. Oh, we complain loudly and righteously about the corruption coming out of Hollyweird, but we don't counter it with anything better. And we are often the people watching the stuff. Glenn Beck concurred, pointing out that the most popular tv show among professedly Christian women is "Desperate Housewives".

Klavan, who's worked with some big names in Hollywood, wrote his novel to try and change things. He said conservatives must start creating high quality art and entertainment that winsomely conveys our point of view. That's something I've been saying for a while; that's why I feel vindicated. I was beginning to think I was alone in my opinon. Most other conservatives are dogmatically committed to politics as the sole means of advancing our cause. They refuse to acknowledge that while we were winning elections and running the country the culture became more and more liberal. That's because liberals control the culture. Klavan understands that and is working to beat the liberals at their own game. I'm cheering for him, and I thank him for vindicating me.

Rest In Peace, Mr. Snow

When I got up this morning sad news greeted me when I turned on my computer. Tony Snow, journalist and former White House Press Secretary, died today of colon cancer. He was 53.

I was shocked and deeply saddened when I saw the headline on my computer screen. I thought Mr. Snow was winning his battle with cancer. The last time I saw him on tv he was upbeat and confident. He looked tired and older than his 53 years but he was cheerful and full of life. Now, only a few months later, he is gone.

I'm sure the fanatic, heartless, left-wing blogosphere will savage Mr. Snow in death as they did him in life. Snow was the target of some viscious posts on the Daily Kos and other liberal websites. His cancer diagnosis was celebrated and liberal bloggers gleefully wished for his death. And he wasn't the only conservative to be so treated by the "compassionate" left. It's time for decent people on all sides to reject such rabid hatred and remember that, no matter how strongly we may disagree with those on the other side they, too, are human beings whose suffering is no cause for celebration.

Robert Anthony "Tony" Snow was a bold, unapologetic conservative who served his country and his profession well. When faced with the worst that life can give you he responded with the best. He was always upbeat, always positive, always optimistic. And he will be sorely missed. Robert Anthony "Tony" Snow: June 1, 1955-July 12, 2008. Rest in peace and goodbye.

Foot In Mouth Disease

So, Jesse Jackson wants to cut Barack Obama's nuts off. While that idea has crossed my mind, too--just kidding!--I'm shocked at the crime that the dear Reverend feels warrants such drastic punishment. It seems that Obama, from Jackson's point of view, talked down to Blacks. How? By supporting Bush's faith-based social initiatives. The fiend! Well, if you ask me it's Jesse Jackson who needs HIS nuts cut off. He should've had them knifed before he fathered that illegitimate child with his young-enough-to-be-his-daughter mistress. The nerve of this guy!

And what's this idea that endorsing faith-based social programs is "talking down" to Blacks? Aren't Blacks supposed to be some of the most religious people in America? Why, then, would they have a kneejerk objection to church-based charities receiving some government funding? I mean, I can understand how some people might think that government money might have too many strings attached and could, consequently, hinder the Church's job of promoting the Gospel. That's a legitimate concern. But to say that Obama is talking down to Blacks by praising Bush's faith-based initiatives is downright delusional.

Jackson, the illegitimate daddy, was also upset with Obama "lecturing" Blacks on morality. Blacks faced more serious problems, Jackson opined, than paternal irresponsibility. Black men who father children and then walk away are just a symptom of the real problems facing Blacks, Jackson believes. This is a classic liberal view. Minorities behaving badly are not responsible for their actions but, rather, are victims of unjust "structures" forced on them by our racist, capitalist society. This view doesn't just provide an easy out for Jackson personally; it is the guiding principle of the entire leftist, civil rights establishment. And Jackson's attack on Obama shows just how intolerant of dissent that establishment is.

I am no Obama supporter. I'm a conservative who believes that Obama is a strident liberal now trying to pass himself off as a moderate. I believe his Father's Day speech on the need for paternal responsibility was part of that strategy. Still, Jackson's attack on Obama was terribly unfair. There IS an urgent need for more paternal responsibility in the Black community, which has an appalling illegitimacy rate. And liberal orthodoxy has no solution for that. Jackson and others like him should abandon their liberalism and return to preaching Biblical morality and values. Then a moral renewal could engulf the Black community and solve its most intractable problems. But then Jesse Jackson and gang would be out of a job, so we know that won't happen. Oh well, it was nice to dream about, if only for a second. And the abandon Black babies continue to cry.

A Great Day For America!

Today is a great day for America. Today the Supreme Court ruled that the Second Amendment guarantees individuals the right to keep and bear arms. Gun rights activists will no longer have to argue this point when fighting gun grabbers trying to impose draconian gun control laws on Americans.

The ruling is the result of the Court reviewing Washington D.C.'s extreme handgun law which made it impossible for D.C. citizens to own a handgun legally. As is the case with all gun control laws, D.C.'s criminals had no problem getting handguns or any other kind of firearms. The capital has, and has had for a long time, one of the highest murder rates in the country. In fact, the lawsuit that ultimately came before the Court was filed by D.C. resident Dick Heller after the city denied his application to keep a handgun in his home for protection. "I'm thrilled I am now able to defend myself and my household in my home," Heller exclaimed upon hearing the ruling. Amen brother!

While affirming an individual's right to bear arms this ruling doesn't mean that all restrictions on gun ownership are now unconstitutional. Justice Antonin Scalia, in writing for the majority, stated that their decision in no way "cast[s] doubt on long-standing prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons or the mentally ill, or [on] laws forbidding the carrying of firearms [into] sensitive places such as schools or government buildings." I suspect gun control advocates won't find that reassurring. Too bad.

Today the Supreme Court got one right, which is an all-too-rare occurrence. And it not only got the law right, it also got a worldview right. By striking down D.C's handgun ban and affirming the people's right to keep arms for personal protection, the Court was unmistakeably repudiating the loony left view that inanimate objects, e.g. guns, and not people cause crime. As mentioned above, Washington D.C.'s handgun ban did nothing to reduce crime. That's because crime originates in the hearts and minds of human beings, not in the objects they use to carry it out.

Blaming lifeless, will-less, tools for the anti-social ends to which they are put is the mother of all cop outs. Liberals cling to it, I believe, because it allows them to retain their utopian view of human nature. Being largely unChristian, liberals deny man's innate capacity for evil and instead blame evil on a corrupt environment. If that environment includes guns, this thinking goes, violent crime is the result. Remove the gun and, supposedly, the urge to commit crime vanishes as well. Crazy, I know. And five of the nine Supreme Court Justices know that, too. Thank God, and long live the Second Amendment!

Common Sense Comes To Washington

Finally, some common sense from a politician!

In this video Rep. Ted Poe (R-TX) gives the House a hilarious but spot on tongue lashing over its plan to force Americans to replace all of our incandescent light bulbs with fluorescent light bulbs. Mercury containing fluorescent light bulbs made in China, the country that gave us contaminated pet food and dangerous toys.

Rep. Poe does a terrific job exposing the utter stupidity of Congress' light bulb switching plan. And check out Tom Tancredo in the background. His reaction alone is worth the 5 minutes it takes to watch this video. So pull up a chair, relax, and watch in amazement as, for once, common sense comes to Washington.

(And when you're done here check out the miniature belly dancer on my blog Hammer Folk Woman. See what kind of "family values" THEY teach their kids.)

Propaganda Not Truth

I can't believe what I saw on The O'Reilly Factor tonight. The Factor did a segment on a couple of political ads made by the liberal group MoveOn.org, and I couldn't believe how viscious, hate filled, and utterly dishonest they were. Oh, wait, I can believe it. After all, this is MoveOn.org we're talking about.

One of the ads was premised on a shameless distortion of John McCain's statement about America being in Iraq for 100 years. In the ad a hip young mother has her cute baby boy, Alex, on her lap. She talks lovingly about the baby for a minute then gets gravely serious when she tells McCain that he "can't have [Alex]" to send to Iraq. Come on!

McCain has explained what he meant by being in Iraq for 100 years. He was talking about America having a military presence there, similar to the ones we have in Germany, Japan, and South Korea. He was NOT talking about fighting in Iraq for a 100 years. MoveOn.org and the rest of the left knows that, yet they continue to engage in rank dishonesty in order to smear McCain and instill fear of Republicans in American voters. As bad as the Alex ad was, though, the second one was worse.

Ad number two was a stark revelation of how liberals really view Republicans/conservatives. In this ad the left's hatred toward the right was laid bare for all to see. The ad consisted of a series of people telling why they wanted to vote Republican. One was a soldier saying he wanted to vote Republican so he could stay in Iraq forever. Another was a toy gun wielding little boy who said he wanted to vote Republican so he could invade Iran. But the really offensive parts of this ad were the pastor and the white guy.

The pastor, sounding quite wicked, said he wanted to vote Republican because women had no right to make decisions about their own lives, ever. Of course, this was a reference to abortion. This part of the ad was premised on the notion that only Republicans are pro-life; it totally ignored the existence of pro-life Democrats. Yet there ARE pro-life Democrats, Senate majority leader Harry Reid being the most prominent example. But according to MoveOn.org's ad, being pro-life is a misogynist, Republican position. This reveals the progressives' disturbing attitude toward pro-life Dems: they shouldn't exist. What exactly should be done with pro-life Dems the ad doesn't say, but by portraying support for the unborn as a strictly Republican cause it's pretty clear that progressives don't want them in the party. Despite Reid's election as leader of Senate Democrats I suspect that pro-life Dems will soon feel a cold wind blowing. Can you say purge?

The white guy was next. What he had to say was the most offensive to me personally. The white guy said he wanted to vote Republican because he didn't want a cure for AIDS or breast cancer. Why not? Because the victims of those diseases were "just gays and women". I almost hit the tv when I heard that. My mother and grandmother both had breast cancer. Granny died after a heroic five year battle; Mama, thankfully, is a survivor. For some sanctimonious, far-left jerk to say that, because I vote Republican, I don't want a cure for the disease that killed my beloved grandmother is obscene beyond words.

This politicizing of compassion is one of the left's most despicable characteristics, and I'm not falling for it. I want a cure for breast cancer, but not because it primarily strikes women. I want a cure for AIDS, but not because it primarily strikes gays. Rather, I want a cure for these and all other deadly diseases because they strike people, and cause horrible suffering to my fellow man. Why should I want a cure for breast cancer more urgently than I want a cure for abdominal cancer, which killed my father? Is my father's death less tragic, less of a loss, because he was a man? Is heart disease, the number one killer in America, less worthy of a cure than AIDS simply because its victims aren't overwhelmingly gay? I think not.

The left-wing loons who made the ads described above just showed how much contempt for truth and the intelligence of the American people they really have. That's all their ads accomplished. John McCain has no intention of waging war in Iraq for 100 years; pro-lifers come in both Democrat and Republican flavors, and the desire to see mankind freed from the clutches of deadly illnesses transcends ideology. Americans know this. That many "progressives" apparently don't is frightening indeed. God help us.

D-Day, The 6th Of June

D-Day. One of the single greatest days in American history--and I'm sure half the people reading this have no idea what it is. I'll tell you.


D-Day was the day America committed her finest young men to the task of defeating her enemy in Europe once and for all.


D-Day was the day the American eagle chose to continue to be an eagle and not a sitting duck.

D-Day was the day America realized that you defeat your enemies by fighting them with grim determination, not by deserting the battlefield in the middle of the fight.

D-Day was and remains the day that epitomizes everything that today's liberals despise: patriotism, steely resolve, and copious bravery.

June 6, 2008 marks the 64th anniversary of the day that was a baptism of fire for hundreds of thousands of American and other Allied troops and secured victory in Europe. Please take the time to remember those young men whose courage and sacrifice on that momentous day ensured the preservation of our free and precious way of life. Please join me in saying a heartfelt "Thank you!" to all those fine young men. God bless them and God bless America.

Frag The Traitors!!!!

Ok, I've had it! I've had it up to here with the left-wing, America hating scum infecting our nation and working overtime to destroy her from within. Whatever America's faults there was no excuse to curse her as "the greatest sin against God" as Barack Obama's spiritual mentor, Michael Pfleger, did at Obama's now former church. I can care less if Obama has finally quit Trinity United Church of Christ. The problem of leftist fifth columnists goes further than the loud mouths at TUCC.

The sad and frightening truth is that Michael Pfleger, Jeremiah Wright, Brian de Palma, Michael Moore, Bill Ayers, Ward Churchill and their ilk have infected every corner of American society. From the pulpit, in films, in classrooms, and in our streets these vermin systematically tear down our pride in our nation and ourselves and seek to infect us with a debilitating self-hatred. They rush to believe and disseminate the worst about America. They spit on our vets and military recruiters; they call our soldiers baby killers and portray them as raping, murdering thugs. They burn Old Glory but proudly carry the flags of our enemies through our streets. They teach our children that our president is another Hitler. They endlessly berate America for slavery but never praise her for ending it. Indeed, they won't recognize any of this nation's positive accomplishments , yet they have the audacity to call themselves patriots!

These left-wing malcontents are no patriots. They are fifth columnists embarked on a campaign of psychological sabotage meant to destroy our will to fight and thereby ensure victory for our enemies. They are ideological termites eating America from within. They are a political autoimmune disease attacking the very "body" that protects them. And they MUST BE STOPPED!!!!

When you join our armed forces you recite an oath that recognizes the existence of enemies "foreign and domestic". America has domestic enemies, and they are no less deadly than her foreign enemies. Consequently, our internal foes should meet the same end as our external ones. The time for debate has passed. The liberal fifth columnists won't be dissuaded by words; they are too entrenched and too dedicated for persuasion to work. A national cleansing has to take place. It's time for the radicals, for the bombers and the shooters and the kidnappers and the killers, to get a taste of their own medicine.

Don't frag an officer like the "peace" activists advised; rather, frag a "peace" activist. Frag a fifth columnist. Frag a traitor. Wait until after the election, so there won't be any negative blowback for the patriotic candidate, then take your pick. Personally, I think Michael Pfleger would be a good one to start with. But that's just my opinion. Whoever is first, I'll serenade his and all other "cleansings" with the immortal words of Queen: And another one gone, and another one gone, and another one bites the dust! Oh yeah!!

Conscientious Objector: The Desmond T. Doss Story

Hey blogging friends! Remember my post a few weeks back on Desmond Doss, the first conscientious objector in American history to win the Medal of Honor? Well, the poignant documentary on Doss' story will air tomorrow at 9pm CST on the Trinity Broadcasting Network. I have no idea what channels TBN is aired on around the country or what time the film will show in different time zones, so please check your local tv guide so you won't miss this very moving film. I almost cried when I first saw this film and was disappointed that I didn't get to see it all. This time I'm going to record it so I'll always have it and watch it whenever I want. Please make sure you see "Conscientious Objector: The Desmond T. Doss Story". It's one small way to remember our vets and their sacrifice this Memorial Day.

Pray For Ted Kennedy

I've just learned that Senator Ted Kennedy has been diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. I'm floored. I don't like Ted Kennedy's politics at all but I'm asking everyone who reads PGZ to pray for him. Cancer is a demon. I've lost two family members to that monster and I feel for anyone who's stricken with it, and I feel for their families. So please put aside your political animus and pray for Ted Kennedy. He's a human being battling a dread disease; this is no time for schadenfreude. Compassion is what's needed now. May God bless you and keep you, Mr. Kennedy. In Jesus' name, amen.

The Company He Keeps

Poor Obama! He just can't seem to get away from unsavory associations.

First, there was his infamous 20 year friendship with America hater Jeremiah Wright. Then came an endorsement from the New Black Panther Party, followed by the revelation of his schmoozing with unrepentant, left-wing terrorist Bill Ayers. Later, the Palestinian terror group Hamas voiced it's support for an Obama presidency. And now a pro-Obama phone bank in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip. You read that right. In almost every primary a group of Palestinians has called Americans urging them to vote for the big O. What's Obama to do?

Of course, no candidate can control who will endorse him. I'm sure there are violent extremists of one sort or another phone banking for Hillary Clinton and John McCain, too. Still, Obama's track record of attracting disagreeable people to his cause should raise some eyebrows, don't cha think? I mean, the fact that people who hate and kill Americans believe they have something to gain from an Obama victory is telling, is it not? Just what do they know about the senator from Illinois that we don't? Talk about things that make you go, hmmmmm.

Thwarted Again

It's happened again. Yesterday four members of California's Supreme Court flipped the bird to the people of that state and ruled that gay marriage must be allowed, despite the voters' rejection of it. When is this going to stop? When are activist judges going to return to their role as interpreters, not makers, of law? When are they going to stop spitting on the will of the people?

I'm sick of this! From gay marriage to illegal immigration we, the American people, are being spat on by judges and/or elected officials who think their job is to impose their "enlightened" views on us. The issue really isn't gay marriage, illegal immigration, or other things. The issue is the perversion of the American way of government by liberals who are committed only to their agenda, not to the political rules or moral heritage of our Republic.

Throughout America's history there have been people who wanted to change things. The movements against slavery and for women's suffrage are prime examples of that. And that's fine. If you want to change something in this country you're perfectly free to try, but there are rules to follow. If you want to repeal or add a law you lobby the legislature, and if you don't get your way you don't then get the courts to impose your change for you. That, however, has been the strategy of liberals, on both the state and federal levels, ever since Roe v. Wade. And it's kept this country in a state of constant ideological conflict.

Take Roe v. Wade for instance. It was the unconstitutional way the law was imposed, and not just revulsion against abortion, that has fanned the flames of the abortion controversy. If the fight over abortion was returned to the states like capital punishment was it would be a much less bitter and divisive issue. It's the same with gay marriage. In state after state gay marriage activists have failed to persuade most people to their point of view. But rather than redouble their efforts to change the public's mind they opt for the Left's usual tactic in the face of defeat: using the courts to impose their agenda.

It's amazing to me that liberals don't understand how much ill will this strategy has earned them. Many people who might be willing to accept gay marriage if it's voted in fairly are turned off by the courts shoving it, or anything else, down their throats. Liberals don't care. They are committed to "enlightening" us lunch pail folks, from the top down if need be. It's for our own good, don't cha know. This paternalistic attitude is one reason why I oppose liberalism.

I believe in persuading people to a point of view. I believe the legislature makes laws and the judiciary interprets them. I believe the Constitution is a "living" document only when it's amended the way the Founding Fathers intended. I DON'T believe in perverting our system in order to impose laws, policies, ideas, or values on the people when the people have already declared they don't want them. Sorry, liberals, but not everyone thinks your views are progressive; in fact, many of us find them downright corrupt, and forcing them on us after we've said "No!" only alienates us more. So, the California Supreme Court's decision may be a hollow victory for gays and their allies. The people of California have seen their will treated with total contempt. When they speak again it won't be pretty for the Left. I can't wait.

Happy Mothers' Day!

"When ever I held my newborn babe in my arms, I used to think what I did and what I said to him would have an influence, not only on him, but on everyone he met, [and] not [just] for a day or a year, but for time and for eternity." Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy, mother of one war hero, one senator, one attorney general, and one president.

I've long felt that this quote from Rose Kennedy was an elegant testimony to the profound power, for good or ill, of motherhood. Please, mothers, use it for good. Happy Mothers' Day to all the moms out there who are shaping eternity for the rest of us.

Universal Health Care Explained

I've always been against universal health care but could never really explain why in a simple, effective way. Below is an article that does just that. It was written by my blogging friend Roadie who blogs at Roadhouse; check him out in my blogroll. Roadie was nice enough to let me reprint his article on PGZ. Once you read this you'll understand perfectly why universal health care is a bad, bad idea.

Universal Health Care Explained
by Terry Leasure, aka Roadie

"There's no such thing as a free lunch." One of many old sayings that have proven to be very accurate. This concept can be applied to many things in life, but none quite as important as life itself and, to a lesser extent, health care. As I watch the presidential candidates try to out-liberal each other on the "health care crisis" I can do little else than shake my head in disgust.

First of all, there is no "health care crisis". Yeah, I said it. Is health care expensive? Yes. Does that constitute a crisis? No. Cars are expensive. College is expensive. Coffee, cable, and blue jeans are expensive, but we don't refer to them as crises. A health care crisis is when there are no doctors to be found. Or when hospitals shut down. Ironically, this will be the result of the liberals' plan for universal health care. Let me explain.

Health care is a service, an important service, but a service nonetheless. It could also be considered a product. For this reason I can use the following analogy. Think of our health care system as the fast food business. Because we have the power to eat at McDonald's or Wendy's, Burger King has to make sure they make a better burger and offer better service than the other two. Arby's has to make sure it offers something even better by virtue of the Beef & Cheddar. Then Subway steps in and offers an even better deal than any of the others. This is called "competition", the end result of which is constantly improving quality, constantly expanding options, and competitive prices for the consumer.

Now, what if the government stepped in and offered free cheeseburgers for everyone? At first, everyone would rejoice. Then we'd notice a few changes. First, we'd notice McDonald's stores closing down, followed by Wendy's and Arby's. After all, no one is buying their products any more. Then we would notice a persistence drop in the quality of our government issued burgers. After all, why does the government need to worry about quality control when they are the only game in town? Menu options? Think again. Extra mayo? Not a chance. Fries? Don't even think about it.

You see, now the people we rely on to make our burgers are government employees. You know, like the friendly folks down at the DMV or the IRS. As long as they don't stick out in the crowd their job is safe. Now that the government has taken the profit out of the food business why bother with ten years of cheeseburger college just to punch a clock for Uncle Sam? Where's the incentive? Who wants to be a burger chef now? Certainly not the cream of the culinary crop. In fact, few people jump at the chance to do the job at all now that the money is taken out of the equation. This leads to burger shortages due to lack of production. Yet the demand increases due to the fact that the burgers are free now, and everyone wants one whether they need it or not.

To get your "free" burger you are put on a waiting list. Six weeks later, you have the cheeseburger you were promised. It is issued to you at a government facility and it resembles exactly what you would think a government issued cheeseburger would look like. If they forget the cheese just fill out the appropriate forms and someone will review your case in six to eight weeks.

Oh, you don't like cheeseburgers? You wanted a Big Mac, or a hoagie? Too bad.

Remember folks, it's one thing to sacrifice the quality and expediency of a cheeseburger for its cost, but what about your child's heart surgery? Do you want free health care or good health care for your child? You can't have both.


Bravo and amen, Roadie!
