Awww... This Means Lynne Stewart Won't Be Able To Be A Part Of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's Defense/Aid & Comfort Team...

Via Dr. Sanity: Common Cause With Theocratic, Homophobic, Misogynistic Psychokillers

I just happened to notice this today from Andy McCarthy at The Corner:

A panel of the Second Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals has upheld the convictions of my old adversary, Lynne Stewart, for providing material support to terrorism — i.e., helping the Blind Sheikh run his Egyptian terrorist organization from U.S. prison, where he is serving a life-sentence. The convictions and sentences of the other two defendants were also affirmed. Lynne, who has been out on bail since being convicted eons ago, has been ordered to surrender to begin serving her sentence.

This is simply unbelievable! All this time I thought this leftist terrorist-sympathizer was in jail, and instead, she’s been galavanting around free to continue to create mischief and proudly proclaim her treason.

Too bad we don’t have the balls to execute traitors like Stewart these days.

I'm Sure Andrew Sullivan's Mea Culpa Will Be Coming Forthwith If It Turns Out To Be Insurance Fraud... Not...

AP sources: Probe eyes census worker's insurance

Investigators trying to solve the mystery of a census taker found hanging from a tree with the word "fed" scrawled on his chest are examining whether he manipulated the scene in order to conceal a suicide and make a life insurance claim possible for his son, law enforcement officials told The Associated Press.

The dead man's son, Josh Sparkman, said in an interview with the AP that he found paperwork for the private life insurance policy among the personal files of his father, Bill Sparkman, but wasn't sure of the amount or when it was taken out. He said authorities have told him nothing about the case and haven't produced a death certificate, which is usually needed to make an insurance claim.

Two law enforcement officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case, said investigators were trying to determine whether Bill Sparkman committed suicide but altered the scene to make it look like a homicide, allowing his son to collect.

What!?! It doesn't appear to be crazy Southern populist terrorism, whipped up by the GOP and its Fox and talk radio cohorts you say? Who could of guessed? Check the strap on your CPAP mask Andy - it's on too tight again.

The Meaning Of The Bow...

Paul Mirengoff: Why does he hate us? Barack Obama's America-effacing presidency

Obama's antipathy toward America should come as no surprise. Although he has lived a rich and varied life, there has been one constant - exposure to the left's disparaging narrative about America.

Obama grew up in a radically left-wing household, attended elite colleges where a jaundiced view of America is orthodox, and spent the remainder of his formative years as a community organizer alongside the likes of former domestic terrorist Bill Ayers and the "God damn America" ranting Jeremiah Wright. No wonder Obama is serving up a "God damn American lite" presidency.

I hate to say I told you... Wait! No I don't... I told you so before you voted for him. A lot of us did. How's that "change" working out for you?

How Did We Let Our Culture Slip This Far? Are We Too Weak To Save Ourselves Now?

Diana West - Diversity Uber Alles

As Gen. Casey blatantly underscored it yesterday on Meet the Press: "Our diversity, not only in our Army, but in our country, is a strength. And as horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that’s worse." The end of "diversity" as a fetish object is "worse" than the massacre at Ft. Hood? Think about it. The general in charge of the Army is saying that if we, as a people, stop worshipping diversity above all and start protecting our soldiers and ourselves from the teachings and goals of Islam,that's "worse" than the carnage at Ft. Hood. Fire Gen. Casey. His duty is to diversity, not his troops.

The Jihad Circus Is Coming To New York City

Holder Announces Plan to Send Alleged Sept. 11 Conspirators to New York Court

Mohammed and the four others -- Waleed bin Attash, Ramzi Binalshibh, Mustafa Ahmad al-Hawsawi and Ali Abd al-Aziz Ali -- are accused of orchestrating the attacks that killed 2,973 people on Sept. 11, 2001, and will now be tried in a courtroom down the street from the World Trade Center.

If they can beat the rap there, they can beat it anywhere! Does the administration have any idea what a farce these trials are going to be? Unfortunately they probably do. They just don't care. They're treating monsters who made war on the USA as common criminals. Why not just charge them with jaywalking, slap'em on the wrist, give'em their green cards and sign'em up for that good ol' free health care? Uh! I take that back! I don't want to give Obama any ideas.

Okay, Okay... I Believe You!

Barney Frank present during marijuana bust

Sources tell FOX25 that when Frank was questioned he told police that he did not live in the house and that he only smoked cigars.

Congressman Frank tells FOX25 that he was surprised and disappointed with what police found. He also tells us that he wouldn’t recognize a marijuana plant if he saw one because he is, “not a great outdoorsman,” and ,”wouldn’t recognize most plants.”

Barney, I was going to say I didn’t believe a word of your explanation… then I remembered that you didn’t know there was whore house operating out of your basement and you thought Fannie and Freddie were solvent and well run, so I concede the point. You must really be that stupid.

The 11th Hour Of The 11th Day Of The 11th Month

In Flanders fields, the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below…

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields…

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands, we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields…

~ Lt.-Col. John McCrae (1872-1918)

I have a feeling that these days there's not much slumber in Flander's fields.

20 Years On And Some Communists Are Still Bitter...

East Germans lost much in 1989 ~ by Bruni de la Motte

Yes they did Bruni… they lost repression, the Stasi, and Soviet domination. You’re welcome.

Freedom and liberty be damned; having been a “more equal” pig, Bruni insists on lamenting the loss of all the goodness she enjoyed under the autocratic, repressive, and murderous GDR dictatorship. She even enjoyed a life free of “existential fears” guaranteed by the generous hand of the State. Wow!

I’d say the people in the photos below disagree that there was no fear for one’s life in Bruni's Holy & Beneficent GDR. I looked for photos of people dashing through minefields & snipers or climbing up to roofs & fourth floor windows to get into East Berlin but I couldn’t find any. Something that Bruni left out of her article? She too got the hell out of the GDR. Of course she left for love (she met and married a Brit) not principle so that’s different.

A defecting East German soldier, Conrad Schuman, leaps over a barbed wire barricade into West Berlin on August 15, 1961.

West Berlin police hold back crowds of Germans coming from East Berlin for food and clothing in 1953.

Peter Fechter was one of the first victims of the Berlin Wall. He famously bled to death in the so-called 'death strip' after being shot by border guards on August 17, 1962.

Semper Fi Boys & Girls! And Thank You!

Happy birthday to the USMC

Here's health to you and to our Corps
Which we are proud to serve;
In many a strife we've fought for life
And never lost our nerve;
If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heaven’s scenes;
They will find the streets are guarded
By United States Marines.

Another Open Letter to Sen. Nelson (D, FL)

Sorry about taking up so much space on the blog.

Mr. Nelson,

I would like to let you know that I don't need health insurance. What I need, and what you in Washington don't seem to give a damn about, is a job. While Democrats have been dithering, conning and scheming on how best to destroy health insurance and care in this country, millions of people like me are unemployed.

We neither want nor need health insurance which you wouldn't subject yourself or your family to. What we want and need are jobs so we can choose what insurance we want amongst other things. Perhaps you weren't aware, but the unemployment rate is above 10% now with real unemployment at LEAST 17% or higher. Perhaps you lost track and didn't realize that the holidays are coming up. We can't afford to spend money on holiday dining and gift giving. It would be nice to make $174.000 a year with government retirement and benefits.

We do don't want trillions of dollars in new spending, even more massive debt or layers upon layers of new bureaucracies. What we need is government to foster an environment where businesses can get back to what they do and hire people again. We don't need bailouts or unaccountable czars dictating salaries. We don't need a President or Congress threatening companies who dare to make a profit. Nor do we need a President or Congress trashing our own country and driving away foreign investors nor providing favoritism and kickbacks to the unions.

Mr. Nelson, I have been unemployed since 2 February. I immediately applied for unemployment. I received two letters telling me that I qualified and how much I should expect. The day before I was to begin claiming my weeks, I received a letter from the great state of Florida advising me that I did not qualify. I've tried finding work and even tried work-from-home opportunities. Publix isn't hiring and, for some reason, I was turned down at Wal-Mart.

Fortunately, I'm staying with my parents, so room and board isn't an issue. My bank account is closed because I accidentally overdrew and couldn't pay it back. I've borrowed money from a friend, but have no way of paying it back. I feel worse about that debt than any other. My truck hasn't worked since the first week in July. I have no money to get it fixed.

Mr. Nelson, government run health insurance is not going to do me a damn bit of good. What I want and need, as well as millions of other Americans, is a job. I need to pay my debts and get my truck repaired. A job is what I need to restore my confidence and self worth. Friends and family are asking what I want for Christmas. How can I tell them what I want when I have no way of giving to them?

Americans have told our President and our Congress, who work for US that we don't want the mess that was passed in the House. We don't want it and we don't need it. You've been screwing around wasting time while millions of Americans lose their jobs.

We're hurting out here, Mr. Nelson. We don't have the luxury of six-figure incomes or flying off to work or wherever we want. We don't have the luxury of getting paid to waste time and money. We're hurting out here, Mr. Nelson. Don't you think it's about damn time you grabbed your gear and did something to actually help your employers?

The House Votes on Healthcare

House Weighs Health Bill

...the battle lines have hardened as Democratic leaders predicted passage of the House bill and GOP leaders vowed to derail it.

"We will pass health care reform," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said after Obama's visit to Capitol Hill.

Meanwhile, House Minority Leader John Boehner vowed to do everything he can to "stop this from becoming law."

"The American people do not want this," he said. "We're going to do everything we can to make sure this does not happen."

House Minority Whip Eric Cantor said Democrats are joining their side to vote against the bill.

... the hour of destruction, or manly opposition to the machinations of tyranny, stares you in the face. Every friend to his country, to himself and posterity ... is now called upon ... to make a united and successful resistance to this last, worst, and most destructive measure of administration. ~ Broadsheets printed in the run-up to the Boston Tea Party
