Stupid Greta poll of the day #1

Here begins the first of a planned series of posts where I castigate whomever is writing Greta Van Susteren's polls on FoxNews.com. Todays poll asks the question, "After Natalee Holloway's disappearance, would you let your 18 year old go on a group trip to an island?" The sensible answer I would like to have chosen, but was not available, was "I wouldn't have let my 18 year old go on a trip to an island BEFORE Natalee Holloway's disappearance."

The Democrats' master plan for self-annihilation

Wesley Pruden at the Washington Times has uncovered a vast left-wing conspiracy in his opinion piece The master plan for party suicide. He's talking about Senator Dick Durbin's foaming at the mouth this past week, equating the treatment of detainees at Guantanamo with the treatment of prisoners in Nazi death camps, Stalin's gulag and Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge nightmare in Cambodia. That's right, the torture and murder of millions upon millions by evil psychopaths is the same as keeping detainees awake by blasting hip-hop music at them.

Powerline has the text of a letter Newt Gingrich sent to each member of the Senate, calling for censure of Senator Turban. John Hinderaker's assessment at the end of the post is noteworthy:

Gingrich puts the case very well, I think. The argument is a compelling one: if the Senate censures Durbin, it will largely undo the damage that he has done by demonstrating to the terrorists and their allies that Durbin's misguided attack on the U.S. military was an aberration. Moreover, the American people deserve to know who, if anyone, agrees with Durbin's slander of our armed forces, so that when those Senators run for re-election, they can be defeated. Senators should not be able to hide behind a discreet "no comment," as Hillary Clinton has done. This is not a time for our elected officials to be neutral as between the terrorists and the armed forces of the United States.

The Left has managed to put President Bush's words, "Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists", in a pejorative light. But it really is time to draw the line. We ARE at war with an ideology, Islamism, that will not stop until we are dead, enslaved, or forcibly converted. Those who stand in the way of defeating this ideology are not the friends of freedom and they are not the friends of the American people.

The Bush-haters and the America-haters remind me of that scene in half of all science fiction movies ever produced where aliens invade Earth with malevolent intent: They shout, "Welcome to Earth!" right before they are incinerated by a laser beam. The Left cannot envision the consequences of defeat because they refuse to acknowledge the need for the struggle in the first place. To borrow and paraphrase a well known saying, they will be the first against the wall if the mullahs take over, because the defenders of freedom will all be dead, having fought to the last man, woman, and child to protect the sorry backsides of their craven neighbors.

Support the Troops!

OK, I live in a cave sometimes, so I may be one of the last to hear about this but there is a great site called AnySoldier.com that goes all out to give aid and comfort to our friends, relatives, and neighbors who are defending liberty in the Terror Wars. Read Major E's post at Powerline, then go to AnySoldier.com and do your part.

Inaugural Post

OK, I have had enough. I am tired of reading and hearing all these ignorant fools trashing my country, my party, my President, my sexual orientation, My Religion. And, somehow, I am expected to tolerate, no, adopt their opinions without so much as an, "Excuse me, what the heck are you talking about?"

So I started this blog. Here, I get to vent my indignation and to shine some much-needed light on the inner thoughts of mainstream America.

So what pushed me over the edge? One too many stories about Koran desecration and the calls for apologies for things that didn't happen. (saw it on LGF).

Just so you know what side of the road I walk on, let me just say this about the desecration of "Holy Books". I am a devoutly religious and spiritual person. But it's just a book. It is not God (Who can take care of Himself without any help from us, btw).

I had to stand by and fume in silence when someone dunked a crucifix in urine and called it art. (Thanks again, LGF, for the link.) I didn't run out and riot and kill innocent people. I didn't call for the violent deaths of the artist, the directors of the National Endowment for the Arts, or anyone else.

As for the so-called Religion of Peace: Any body of religious thought or political thesis that allows its adherents to murder, rape, enslave, subjugate and exact tribute from non-believers is EVIL and must be eradicated. Barely civilized men of nominally Christian faith did this about 800 years ago. Barely civilized men of Muslim faith are doing this now. The difference is that there is nowhere in the Gospels of the New Testament that codify or sanction this behavior. The same cannot be said of the Koran.

So here's the deal. I live in the United States of America, where dunking the image of Christ on the Cross in urine is protected speech. Therefore, the way I see it, if I want to defecate on the Koran, wrap it in Hustler magazine, dowse it with KC Masterpiece and slowly roast it to ashes, that is also protected speech. And I'm not going to apologize for saying it.

That's enough.
