Who Would be Worse than Obama?

I can think of 3 political figures who would do a worse job than the charlatan now inhabiting the White House.

Cynthia Ann McKinney:

Sheila Jackson Lee:

Luis Farrakhan:

Maybe you can come up with some others.

State Sponsored Ethics.

"The morality mob that went after Emma West showed off the same insecurity that is behind Muslim hysteria over a cartoon of Mohammed. This is not the behaviour of confident people who are secure in their views, it is an outburst of state violence from the 1 percent who are terrified of losing their grip on power."

My Sympathy for the Wall St. Protesters. (Updated)

They don't have many options. They were taught nonsense. They live in a world of fantasy. Now mom and dad have gotten old. Their retirement savings have been depleted. Mom and dad cannot support them forever.

Where will they go?

What can they do?

It is without doubt, that they will play the roles of useful idiots.

Who will they follow?

Update Nov 6th:

Since I first wrote this, several of the above questions have been answered. They follow the pied pipers of ACORN and others filled with hate and misinformation. They go to work for those who want them as slaves. They are prey for any predator that comes along. Whether that predator comes in form of a pickpocket, a rapist, or a police-badge wearing thug. Race hustlers such as Obama, Jackson, and Sharpton have done very well in such a crowd.

The question that remains is whether any good will come from the imminent conflagration. Whatever good comes of this, will not be from these nuts and ignorants. Maybe the TEA party folks will respond more threateningly than they've thus far. So far the TEA rallies have been civil, but the other side wants violence. One thing is certain, the 2012 election will be chaotic and war-like.

Lets see what the next week brings out; general election for 2011 in only 2 days.

Another CME margin hike and precious metals take a beating.

The sell-off began Thursday and intensified over Friday morning. At 5 PM Eastern time - Friday, we learned about across the board margin hikes by CME. I guess the big banks were just lucky to sell their PM holdings a day ahead. It couldn't have been anything illegal like insider trading... Yeah, free market my ass.

Turner wins NY District 9 Election.

Landslide victory in Brooklyn: Turner wins 66:33. Queens also presented the GOP candidate with a victory, although not as dramatic one as was seen in the neighboring, more sensible, and more famous NYC borough of Brooklyn. To see complete election results go here.

For those not familiar with the NYC landscape, the borough of Queens has more cemeteries than any other place in NYC, maybe the country. Democrats blamed this loss on the unusually low turnout of dead voters and ACORN promised to redouble their effort to submit phony registrations during the general election of 2012.

I want to thank all fellow New-Yorkers for doing what's right. Especially, I want to thank my parents for getting themselves and their friends out to vote. Finally, we had an election where our votes were not wasted and it feels good.

Good luck Bob Turner and God speed to your delivery of our mutual message to Obama and the other Marxist rats; give them a high middle finger salute from myself and your new constituents.

Update: Looks like a few more zombies arrived late over in Queens, giving Werpin an edge in that awful borough. However, the Brooklyn vote still produced a decisive victory for Turner.

9/11 2011

Ten years have passed and the phrase "We will never forget." rings hollow.

- We have forgotten that we're at war.

- We have forgotten why we sent troops to Iraq and Afghanistan.

- We have forgotten how to fight a war and more importantly, how to win a war.

Anyone who comes across this blog should try to remember one thing:

We are at war.

The only good way to end a war is to win it. The alternative is to lose. If we lose this war, we'll either be dead or enslaved.

More Funny Hurricane Irene Videos.

Here is a reporter trying to appear very serious about the danger he is facing, while a couple of guys streak across the screen and moon the cameraman.

http://www.tmz.com/2011/08/27/hurricane-irene-weather-channel-streaker-video/2/

For this particular New Yorker: I went to sleep listening to hard rain hit against the windows. When I woke up, I expected to see some bitching waves out of my window or at least watch the trees bow to some serious wind. Instead all I experienced was a pleasant breeze and saw the cops try to run a few people off the water-view trail; they were just enjoying their morning walk and this cop van came barreling down on them announcing that they better run for their lives over the loudspeaker.

In the final tally, I expect that the governmental edicts and reactions have cost the local communities far more than was done by mother nature. I really wish they could stop with their meddling and their nanny-state programs. We just cannot afford these fools any longer.

Riots 2011: London and Elsewhere.

If you're wondering why London is burning and why there are flash mobs terrorizing the inhabitants of Philadelphia, follow the links below to some very insightful authors who understand why we're subjected to this violence. On the other hand, you can turn to the MSM and Dr. Phils out there, who will fill your head with obfuscating crap.

It's not about unemployment and lack of benefits for the poor. It's about a society being paralyzed by delusional ideologies and no longer capable of defending itself. It's about people who never earned or worked for anything, throwing temper tantrums and taking whatever they can get their hands on. It's about humiliating someone in order to achieve something. These are the looters. They cannot produce or create anything. They can only steal.

First, is a post by Sultan Knish titled "Civilization's End". I came by this excellent read via The Western Rifle Shooters blog.

Next, I came across a Gates Of Vienna link to the latest rant by Pat Condell, called The Root Cause. As always, he is wise and clear to the point.

Zerohedge, had a post with the following quote:

"But brothers, this biting of their toe-nails over what causes badness is what turns me into a fine laughing malchick."--Clockwork Orange

That is about the best description I have seen, of what incapacitates the Western "civilized" sheep.

As to how all this ties in with local politics:

You're on your own.

Idiocracy.

Bret Stephens of the WSJ summarizes Obama: "Stupid is as stupid does.", and many folks seek to blame Obama for the financial mess we're in. That is an incorrect approach. Our nation's woes are not the result of Obama's mental inadequacy. Rather, having Obama elected as our president is representative of our own stupidity. If we were a nation of clear headed and independent thinkers, Obama would have remained irrelevant. Our credit rating was down graded to AA+, but our nation's intellectual ability should be a D.

When I consider what it will take to rehabilitate this nation, I start to wonder whether it is even remotely possible. Nevertheless, we must work at this rehabilitation because our children deserve better.

In the spirit of president Camacho, here is my 3 step solution.

1. Abolish governmental bodies that stifle personal and financial growth.

- There may have been a time when small proprietary schools turned out mediocre graduates, and these schools needed to be combined into larger institutions so that the students would have access to quality teachers, and so that schools would have the resources for supplying their students with high quality education. Now, our educational system has become a humongous monster that does nothing but eat everything in sight just to maintain itself. Its teachers' only mission is to feed the monster, and they train sheep to be sheared or slaughtered.

- The Federal reserve main task is to weaken our monetary notes. Consequently what I receive for my work constantly depreciates, and cannot be counted on as a stable system of exchange of valuable goods. Solution - create a hard value backed currency; resume either a gold or silver standard.

2. Promote a society that values personal responsibility.

Enough with the handouts and promoting of the lazy and the inept. Stop supporting race based inequality laws. Strict "idiot proof" institutional guidelines mainly insure that idiots rise to management positions and lead to further idiotic guidelines.

3. Abolish laws that seek to blur the difference between fantasy and reality.

A gay couple is not the equivalent family unit to a family made of complementary sexes. It is not a biological equivalent, not a social equivalent, and it is not a theological equivalent. On a similar note, going to bed with a prostitute is not the same as being with your spouse. I have no problems with two people who want to engage in make believe sexual acts that brings them pleasure. But stop stuffing down my throat the notion that their delusional fantasies will produce anything other than another delusional fantasy. As was mentioned in Monty Python's Life of O'Brian, men can fight for their right to become pregnant but it's a pointless battle.

In the UN, we should stop treating every tin pot dictatorship as if its views and wants deserve the same weight as a modern democratic industrial nation. They are not equals and if we cannot respect that reality, then abolish the UN and create a body just for the world's democracies to participate in. I honestly don't give a rat's ass what a Syrian or Lybian dictator's definition of human rights is. It is wrong to elevate their opinions to those of the representative republics from the civilized world. In other words, not every culture is equal.

Collapse of the Global Ponzi Scheme!

I am not a psychiatrist, but on occasion I take care of psychotic patients with medical problems. Today I was passing by the room of one such patient, who was laying completely exposed and laughing like a maniac. The television by his bed was turned on, and I saw that the Dow Jones plummeted 512 points. Suddenly, his behavior seemed perfectly appropriate and, under these circumstances, quite sane.

Summer of Recovery. Updated.

From the WSJ:

"The U.S. manufacturing sector slowed sharply in May, according to ISM data. Meanwhile, private businesses added just 38,000 jobs in May, ADP reported, as large companies cut workers."

Today, from 10 to 11 am, Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 150 points. Gold went vertically up because many believe that fiats now have less value than they did 1 hour ago. There is talk about QE3 because right now the only thing keeping US alive is its ability to print dollars. It is also the same policy that is killing us. Weird huh.

Our productive industries are decimated. Thanks Obama for all that hope and shit.

By the time I finished writing this paragraph, Dow Jones went down another 30 points to a net down of 180.

Fiat Trouble.

Today, the Belorussian ruble was the subject of confusing and contradictory news reports coming out of Reuters.

At 6:33 AM, the average Belorussian was informed of some good financial news: the ruble is continuing to strengthen. All those pensioners concerned about their ability to buy the weekly groceries could breathe a sign of relief.

However at 8:33 AM, their celebration turned out to be premature as the ruble was devalued by the country's central bank: Oh oh. How much did the central bank pilfer of each citizen's savings? Thirty six percent, according to Reuters.

What can one say? Could have been worse. In fact, it was if you take the time to check Reuters math. On May 23, one American dollar was worth 3,155 Belorussian rubles, and on May 24 it will be worth 4,930 Belorussian rubbles. That means it was devalued by 56 percent in one night.

One week ago, there was a story in the Wall Street Journal that described an old pensioner who could not take the time to stand in line, waiting to change her rubles into the more "stable" dollars. In reality, it is a known fact that the bank exchange service will typically run out of foreign currency very quickly and that it is a complete waste of time waiting in such a line. The black market exchange rate is closer to 8,000 rubles for one dollar.

Below is a photo of drivers in Minsk waiting to fill up their cars, before the next rate change.

Next, is a photo of what it was like to try to buy something in a Belorussian store today.

Think of this as a dressed rehearsal for the next FIAT currency collapse. Yes, I do mean the US dollar.

On a humorous note, there was an announcement by the Belorussian central bank rejecting any notion of "sharp devaluation". The punchline is that it was dated April 1st.

Did they get any DNA evidence off Osama's porn stash?

Yesterday, the world got a glimpse of the mountains of intelligence gathered at the Bin Laden's "secret" compound. This was like an act taken right out of the Ocean's 11 movie script. In the movie, casino vault robbers rig up a van carrying stolen bags of money, which in turn is chased by the casino's security team. This van is remotely driven to a quiet location, at which point the security team rush the vehicle and riddle it with bullets. Examining the back of the van, they discover no bags of money but rather bags filled with hooker ads. Meanwhile, the vault robbers quietly exit the casino, carrying all the loot with them, while every one else was distracted.

So, since the mound of intelligence is now revealed to be a pile of trashy porn did we really get Bin Laden?

I want some proof and no, I won't accept a link to RedTube as evidence.

Was Osama Bin Laden's Death a Distraction?

Foolishly, I linked to a complete nut-case and have since removed this link.

Rites and Rights

Within the liberal cesspool known as San Francisco, activists have a new cause. Forget global swarming - that is so old school. The new rallying cry: "Save The Foreskin!"

See Reuters article here.

Despite numerous studies within medical journals on the benefits of male circumcision, the people of San Francisco want to institute a ban on this ancient rite. Forget that a man with a circumcised penis is less likely to have urinary tract infections, develop penile cancer, and catch STD's including AIDS. We must think of the rights of the germs to live and multiply.

Soviets had a similar policy, but there was a much clearer explanation for the ban in the USSR. It was hatred of Jews. I suspect the same motivation among the liberal Friscans.

Bubbles, Tsoris, and Precious Metals.

Since Sunday evening, precious metals prices started to fall. A price correction was expected due to these metals' recent skyrocketing prices. At first, no one was particularly concerned.

Monday silver lost about 10 percent of its value but just one week prior it gained 10%.

Tuesday, another 8 percent loss...No worries.

Wednesday 6 percent.

Today another 14 percent loss. Now people are worried.

People who invested over the past month lost close to 40%.

Questions are being asked and some interesting answers come to light.

According to FOX news, there were 2 important reasons for why precious metal stocks plummeted.

1. Large investors including a fund managed by George Soros pulled out of the market one week ago. This was done way before anyone thought the climb was ending and small investors continued to excitedly buy silver. When Soros pulled out, other large investors followed suit.

2. Margin hikes for precious metals introduced by CME, made it more expensive to trade silver and priced many small investors out of the market.

It is interesting how Soros pulling out and CME margin hikes occurred several days before the fall. Also interesting that very few people had a clue until a week later.

Collaboration?

Manipulation?

Maybe this is all a smoke screen meant to create the illusion of stability for Fiat money?

Atlas Shrugged Part 1.

The movie came out and I just couldn't wait to see it; so now I understand why Chris Muir called it a Rorschach test. Here are my observations.

Granted I chose a time during which one wouldn't expect to see large crowds, but I counted about 10-12 people in the small theater watching it with me. This was also the only theater in the borough of Queens that was playing the movie. No wonder it has such a limited screening nationwide.

I was also the youngest person in that theater so this idea that Rand fans should use this movie as a way to meet with the opposite sex is seriously flawed. Unless of course you happen to be in your late 60's and all alone.

Pam Geller wrote that this movie will get people talking about our current financial crisis and that will be a great accomplishment. After seeing the flick, I really don't see that happening. The acting sucked and unless you've read the book recently, it would be very difficult to follow the script. People not familiar with the book, will likely walk out and the fans will endure this 90 minute soap opera but will find little good to say about it.

It wasn't just the low budget and the rotten screenplay. I've already mentioned it, but the acting really sucked. The only descent actress thus far was the one playing Lillian Rearden. There were 2 descent actors also: one played Wesley Mouch and the guy who played Ellis Wyatt; both of them were older actors playing very small roles. The young actors in this movie were very, very forgettable.

Oh well. The book remains fantastic.

Wiscon's Supreme Court Election: Details Point to Liberal Voter Fraud

Today morning, I watched Wisconsin's supreme court election results. At 8 am Eastern time, the poll counts were favoring the conservative leaning David Prosser by roughly 900 votes. In a very short time, the union bought and otherwise unknown, Joanne Kloppenburg was leading by over 300 votes. The liberal challenger's campaign employed slander and lies, and this fact alone should have destroyed her candidacy. But many people voting these days don't think objectively about their choices; too often they simply follow their marching orders given to them by union bosses, school "advisers", and other propaganda outlets.

I checked the message board at HotAir and read the lamentations of the people posting on that thread. The election results are so close, that a recount seems certain. Before moving onto another news item, I decided to hit the reload button on the web page displaying election results. The 300+ difference in Kloppenburg's favor was listed at approximately 10:30 AM Eastern time. At 11 AM her lead had grown to 447; this rate of count growth seems appropriate considering the short amount of time during which Kloppenburg caught up and passed her opponent, Prosser. It seemed almost predictable. Since it took 3 hours to generate 1200 more votes for Kloppenberg, that is roughly 400 votes in her favor per hour, or 200 votes per half hour. What I didn't expect was the observation of Prosser's exact count numbers. At 10: 45 AM his number of votes was 738,500+, and at 11 AM his exact count was still 738,500+. On the other hand Kloppenburg's count had suddenly increased from 738,800+ to 739,000+. Like I said, predicted rate of gain 200 votes in that half hour.

After 11 AM Eastern time, I observed another curious tally: Kloppenburg's rate of gain ceased. It is as if there was a 3 hour period during which counties that overwhelmingly supported this candidate showed intense activity, and then having achieved their objective, rested. Was this a coordinated effort?

Is it statistically possible that these late districts are overwhelmingly opposed to the incumbent judge? It is possible, but given the above details, it is more probable that several bags of Kloppenburg's ballots were dumped at the voting station. What exactly were these overwhelmingly liberal districts waiting for, in order to complete their counting?

After that brief moment of irregularity, the remainder of the voting tallies were no longer statistically exciting. In fact, among the remaining ballots Prosser once again showed his small lead.

Is there more pointing to voter fraud, than my analysis of a short lived statistical aberration? My evidence is pretty weak and circumstantial. The answer is: YES!

These were direct observations made at several of these late reporting voting stations.

Now we look at today, with the I Stand With Walker Facebook page reporting firsthand fraud:

I Stand with Scott Walker
BREAKING VOTER FRAUD: Poll workers conducting registration on election day, voting, then registering again to vote. High school students registering other high school students under 18. When complained, the poll worker said mind your own business.

Further evidence of fraud, voter intimidation and destruction of ballots.

And there is evidence of voter intimidation as well.

Village of Grafton Police were called to the Grafton Town Hall because election officials were concerned that protesters were too close to the polling place and were not following the rules established by Wisconsin's Election Authority or Government Accountability Board (GAB). Two witnesses confirmed that a Police Officer who reported to address the incident apparently refused to deal with the protesters initially. Jessica Schmidt, Grafton Town Clerk, and another witness heard the officer say, "I used to be a conservative but I’m not anymore." Apparently, this behavior was a result of the recent debate over union rights that has consumed Wisconsin. The officer then walked outside and without addressing the issues presented by the protesters and refused to do his job, allowing the intimidation to continue. The officer’s behavior was apparently upsetting enough that an elderly poll worker was shaking immediately following the incident and needed to be calmed down by a nurse that was present at the polling place.

Even worse.

UPDATE 4:37PM:

Evidence of destroyed ballots.

For the full story of the election abuses noted above, see Pundit Press.

Also, on Media Trackers, there is reported evidence of union tied cab companies trying to interfere in elections by offering rides to people that vote for Kloppenburg.

Is this where the progressives have taken our country? Our elections have become nothing but lies, intimidation by thugs, and a spectacle of corruption.

Burn Them All.

Today I watched a video of an American general condemn, in the strongest possible terms, a pastor from Florida for this pastor's recent demonstration of free speech. He burned a book. For some the Koran is holy wisdom, for others it is something evil.

I understand that this general has the responsibility to protect his soldiers from harm. I do not understand his abandonment of the oath he swore to protect the constitution and the people of this nation. Just imagine how many of our soldiers would have been saved if every officer captured by enemy forces would make speeches denouncing fellow Americans and American values.......Not many.

Does general Petraeus now believe that it has become his goal to oversee our surrender? To submit our nation to foreign psychopathy and social pathology?

Below is an image of an Iranian burning the Koran in protest, reposted from the Jawa report.

Keep burning them until these psychopathic bastards get used to this idea. And if they don't learn how to behave like civilized human beings, burn them all.

The Approaching Collapse.

Earlier today while visiting a friend, I made a comment about us being just a small step away from lawless chaos. The other visitors there, said they agreed with me but also thought it important to not become one of the crazies who scream "REPENT" and carry signs such as "The End is Near" (see comments by Rick).

I am sure that many of us who frequent each others' conservative blogs, share these uncomfortable thoughts. The protests in Madison documented by Ann Althouse, showed us multiple disturbing truths about our current state of the union:

1. Government officials will abandon their duties with little reservation.

2. Police will abandon their responsibilities if that act might benefit them financially. It's not a very long walk from refusing to protect the state capitol from trespassers and sending local private companies extortion threats, to simply robbing you in the middle of the street because they can get away with it. Who are you going to complain to? MSM?

3. The Justice system is in some instances so inept, that they've abandoned the rule of law and have now moved towards the rule of men.

As disturbing as the images of monument desecration by careless and often clueless students and the intimidation of GOP representatives by angry mobs were, a few lines remained that we had not yet crossed. There was still a feeling that we managed to hold on to some civility in our society and although the atmosphere has become much more unstable, businesses could still continue to function. We haven't yet become Greece.

We Americans may not have, but the British have.

See images from a 500,000 strong "anti-capitalist" and "anti-cuts" march through London.

They threw ammonia filled bulbs and fired missiles at the police. A leftist politician glorified these rioters by likening them to anti-apartheid protesters.

It's a dangerous business, heading out the door. You never know where the road will take you.

Today I got home and started browsing through my favorite blogs. A recent post at Primordial Slack led to a very disturbing article at American Digest. That article is must read, so I hope whoever wanders onto my page takes this advice and reads the linked article.

After I finished reading about the hidden malice of Obama, I decided to explore American Digest further and clicked on its homepage button. There, on the sidebar, was a linked video described as "Average American woman caught in the act of just being herself" and it showed a crazy scene where a Burger King customer jumps over the counter and starts destroying the place while people nearby laugh and cheer.



It's a sobering thought that these are our neighbors and they vote. Commentary near that video link said that there is now a whole YouTube genre of such acts and I decided to explore that link further. It led me to the below video.

In it, a dumb white kid who dresses like he's from the hood, jumps up and down excitedly anticipating a fight. He gets in between 2 people who are both ready to bash his head in. That's exactly what happens, and eventually he barely staggers out of Taco Bell. I hope that his friends took him to a hospital because he appeared to be in serious need of a head CT.

You should watch the fight in this video several times. It is very instructive and personifies the average American's current ability to defend himself.

Look at how the two people who beat him senseless, move. They don't jump up and down like clueless braggarts. Instead they keep their balance and distance, waiting for him to make a mistake. Then the dumb kid's friends jump in to save him as he is getting his head kicked. Fortunately the friends appear to have slightly more fighting experience than that kid, so they aren't beaten unconscious. Unfortunately, the fight is quickly knocked out of them and they flee, leaving him on the floor defenseless as he receives another kick to the head. He tries to stand up but as soon as he sees his assailant, he sits back down and assumes the submissive posture. One of his friends jumps back into the scene, only to fall down and assume a similar submissive posture.

There are many loud fools among us and being who they are, endanger themselves as well as their companions. In the coming unrest, it will be wise to avoid such associations. It is also wise to shape up, so as to not wind up on the floor waiting helplessly for another kick to your head.

P.S. - Of course the title for this post is an inexact quote of Bilbo Baggins. There is wisdom to be found everywhere as long as you stay alert.

Heartbreaking: Japan's Nuclear Emergency.

Japan declared a state of emergency as 5 nuclear reactors in 2 power plants experienced compromised cooling capacity and rising pressures. Radiation levels inside the control room of unit number 1 (oldest of these reactors), reached 1ooo times normal while levels outside the plant increased to 8 times normal. The government has authorized release of radioactive vapor to prevent a full scale meltdown. Some 20,000 people will need to be evacuated from a 20 km area. Electricity supply will be severely curtailed.

WTF Politics and the NPR.

I just read this post on Atlas Shrugs. Just speechless. NPR executives trying to obtain funds from the Muslim Brotherhood. People can rationalize the firing of Juan Williams, but there is no need for such debate. The real reason becomes very plain when senior NPR executive starts his rant during which he smears Christians, Jews, TEA party, and conservative Americans. He calls us stupid, he calls us racists. This is while he is eating and chatting with people who introduce themselves as the representatives of a fucking Mohamedean terrorist front group.

I do not dispute the 1st amendment right of anyone to spew forth any idiocy he wants. However, let the NPR fund their disgusting propaganda without my money. De-fund these cretins.

International Working Women's Day.

After leaving the Soviet Union, I have largely forgotten about this obscure day. I now recall this being a day for rallies during which women would parade through the street carrying red banners and proclaiming the virtues of the Communist revolution.

Traffic Violations Bureau.

Lets say you drive down a freeway and get stopped for a moving violation. The police officer tells you that you changed lane without signaling and you were moving much faster than your speedometer shows. You're told if you disagree with this ticket, you can contest it in court.

You wait for your court date and leave work early, reserving an hour for what should be a 15 minute drive. Unfortunately you cannot drive on this New York freeway faster than 10 miles per hour because the roads have become so dilapidated that there are more pot holes than there is left over asphalt. The court house has no parking and you spend half of an hour looking for parking on the street. Incidentally, most New Yorkers think it is a blessing to find parking in so little as a half hour.

Arriving inside the building, you wait one hour while the information clerk takes down your name and assigns you a number so that you may appear before a judge. The officer who issued this ticket no longer has to be present in the court. Why should he have to prove his side? Instead you are greeted by a lawyer who offers you a deal: Pay the fine and I will drop the points. Points in NY mean that your car insurance price will suddenly jump to be several thousand dollars more expensive. You might feel that was an false charge against you and that this whole ordeal is terribly unfair, but if you still want to contest your guilt, you must return for another court date.

At this point most reasonable people will simply pay the fine. You graciously accept a verdict of having to pay 150 dollars and head to the payment clerk. That just happens to be the longest line you've endured thus far because there is only one person available to accept these payments and she has a bladder problem necessitating her to leave for a bathroom break every 2 minutes. In the end you're just happy to get out alive vowing never to return to this awful torture chamber.

That was the whole point. You are not supposed to contest. Just fork over your money no matter how unfair the charge. Have you learned your lesson yet?

Wisconsin

I have been meaning to write about the college kids, perhaps a more accurate description would be human shields, demonstrating in Madison, Wisconsin. They display ignorance and arrogance. They are the sad products of a school system that taught them very little and prepared them for a life of servitude.

TL Davis recently wrote an excellent summary of this very dangerous demonstration of union muscle.

Please read his post.

Where are the adults? Are they asleep in some opium den? Most will never awaken.

Back to Egypt.

As the fog of wishful thinking clears, reality shows a very grim picture.

Please read the Islamization of Egypt at the Atlass Shruggs blog.

1. Aman Nour (the Egyptian opposition leader) declared that the peace treaty with Israel is over.

2. An islamist judge will head the committee to create the new Egyptian constitution.

3. According to Bishop Marcos of the Coptic Church, "The army seems to have made some sort of deal with the Muslim Brotherhood."

True face of evil.

This is the face of an Austrian judge who declared that an Austrian citizen was guilty of denigrating Islam because she "falsely" called Mohammed a pedophile. According to this ignorant judge, a pedophile is someone who primarily craves sex with children and Mohammed was not such a person. Her argument: That the particular perp in question ,aside from having sex with a 9 year old, prepubescent child, was able to continually rape her till the ripe age of 18 and that he also had sex with older women. What an absurd statement from someone too lazy to consider what such a judgement might mean for all prepubescent girls in Austria. This means that anyone can be cleared from the crime of pedophilia so long as they claim that their sexual exploits is not solely limited to children but to adults as well. This stupid judge just made it very difficult to prosecute people who rape children in Austria.

That is the true face of evil. Too lazy and too stupid to think. Too arrogant to listen. She harms the people around her without even realizing it; perhaps she doesn't even care.

As Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff said: "Today is a sad day for my young daughter and for all other young girls."

To save what's left of our civilization, we must free ourselves from the rule of such lazy, ignorant, arrogant fools. We must not allow them to remain in positions of power. We must rebuild our schools so that such inept individuals will not be promoted into positions of power.

God help us.

Quick solutions to multiculturalism and its ill effects on national unity.

We should make today a national holiday. All adult males should be expected to drink beer and eat meat. Of course, everyone must watch the Super Bowl; anything else is un-American and subversive. No excuses.

Insiders View: The War Inside Egypt.

The following is an excellent chronological first person account of the current unrest in Egypt.

Egyptian Revolution

As the author attests: at this time the Egyptian middle class are protecting their homes and families. The people out in the street are waging Jihad. Please read this above link in its entirety.

The Egyptian Street.

When I first learned of the protests in Egypt, my immediate reaction was - why now? Here are some very thoughtful analyses of the state of Egypt and the dangers ahead.

Caroline Glick's analysis.

GW's excellent post.

Gates of Vienna post


I've seen photos of the protesters, and they look like jihadis. This is not the repeat of Iran's Green revolution. Many of these demonstrators are fueled by Jihad. This is very dangerous and it will only get worse.

State Of The Union Address: 2011.

Just my take on the latest Obama's performance. As he said, lets all tone down the rhetoric.

Fool me once, shame on you.

Fool me twice, shame on me.

Fool me trice, and you can count on me remaining a fool for the rest of my life. Strange, but some people want to be fools.
