A Simple Question
Why is Bin Laden’s son-in-law, Sulaiman Abu Ghaith being charged in a US criminal court, but Anwar Al-Awlaki, an American citizen, not given the same due process, instead being blown up by a drone strike?
Is it Opposite Day? Did I not get the freakin’ memo??
I picked a hell of a time to quit drinking.
How’s That Tolerance Thing Working Out?
That is a g0000000000gle interactive map of Muslim Protests since September 11, 2012. Click the link for embiggenification marvelosity.
And the administration thinks this is about a YouTube movie that has been in cyberspace for months?? Yeah, riiiiiiiight….
Light ‘Em If You Got ‘Em
One of my favorite posts at Bring the Heat, Bring the Stupid are the videos of what Brad likes to call “‘Splodey”. Watching something blow up is therapeutic to me. Makes me feel all calm, and that all is right with the world, even if only for the few seconds of beautiful incendiary footage.
Seriously, doesn’t this make you feel good??
If I smoked, I would soooo need a cigarette right about now

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, right?

On Syria
(Guest post by LC Draco)
Did you know we still fund these guys?
Pro-government crowds attacked the U.S. and French embassies in Damascus Monday, in the latest escalation of Syrian government anger over foreign moral support for the country’s pro-democracy protesters. At the same time, the government crackdown continued in the central city of Homs.
According to reports from Damascus, the crowd at the U.S. embassy breached the perimeter wall and damaged at least one building in the compound before being dispersed by U.S. Marine guards.
Even when I was in Kosovo, they (pick your party/affiliation) avoided messing with Americans. UN troops were fair game, though. An embassy is considered sovereign territory, as it is representative of the country that ‘owns’ that piece of land. In former years, this would be considered an act of war.
Now, it is considered a minor inconvenience. Sad…..

As far as I’m concerned, CAIR should be deported and sent to the Middle East, before we turn that place into desert glass.
In Keeping With the Current Theme
Via Mitchell. In fairness, there was nothing there that I didn’t learn in Anthropology classes waaaaaaay back in the late 80′s. The alarm should be on how that knowledge has been subverted in a mere 20 years.
Spread the word.
When Tolerance and Stupidity Meet
Sometimes it takes getting mugged to realize things are not as they seem. From CBS:
CBS News Chief Foreign Correspondent Separated From Her Crew And Brutally Assaulted on Day Mubarak Stepped Down
Correspondent Laura Logan was in Tahrir Square, covering the Egyptian crowd celebrating the stepping down of Hosni Mubarak, when she was separated from her crew. Once she was away from her group, she was severely assaulted sexually and beaten. She was rescued by several Egyptian women, along with about 20 Egyptian Army troops.
Once she was saved from that mob, she got back to her crew and hotel, and left Egypt the following morning.I sincerely hope she recovers and isn’t scarred by this. What bothers me is the how and the why. She went in, uncovered, and without security, only her crew. And the why? Simple: she is a woman, uncovered, showing herself in a vast anonymous throng that believes women for the most part are simply property. I’m all for equality of opportunity, but I know that doesn’t apply in most of the Middle East. Why CBS and Ms. Logan thought it did, I have no idea.
Fetch My Cluebat
Is society this fucking stupid?? Has political correctness rendered us so impotent that we can no longer connect the dots??
The bomb went off in the lot between the Islamic Society [of Portland] and Back Bay Grill around 8:00 PM Tuesday night. Portland Police say Islamic elders came forward to tell them that a 13 year old from the Society was experimenting and was responsible for the bomb. Another bomb was also found undetinated [sic].
Police say it’s unclear if charges will be filed against the teenagers.
Oh, and don’t think the “elders” called the police on the kid. They came forward after the police started the investigation and had gathered enough evidence to figure out what had transpired. And they were making excuses for the teenager’s actions…. like it was a common, everyday occurence to have a 13 year old making a bomb outside their “society”. Maybe that flies in the Middle East, but not around here.
What would have happened if it had been a non-muslim teen that had tried to detonate a bomb at the “society”?? You can bet your sweet ass that would have made national news as a hate crime. But because it was a muslim teenager, charges might NOT be filed?? One thing is clear: Maine has a big problem, just as Michigan does. If they do not step up and enforce their laws, they will be totally lost.
Enemy in the Midst
Sorry for the lack of posts, y’all. I found this earlier, through a friend at Facebook, and ended up walking away from the laptop, choosing to do something constructive before I hurled the poor thing through the window:
A U.S. Army soldier wants to leave the military service as a conscientious objector based on his beliefs as a Muslim, but he says he’s concerned he may be deployed to Afghanistan anyway.
Pfc. Naser [sic] Abdo, 20, an infantryman assigned to the 101st Airborne Division at Fort Campbell, Ky., said Monday that if the military orders him to deploy, he will refuse to go despite the fact that it may result in a military charge against him.
First off, in my opinion, there is no longer room for the status of conscientious objector. And before anyone decides to bring up Sgt. York, he was drafted. Our military is strictly volunteer-based. So, if someone objects to violence citing his religion, he or she doesn’t have to enlist. If they feel the need to serve their country, there are other means besides the military. So, where the fuck does this fucktard get off with this shit? Where the fuck has he been the last eight years? He whines that he can’t reconcile his faith with his job. And why? Because we are at war with Afghanistan, and this pedophile-worshipping snot would be forced to make a decision on whom to shoot. Only not really, seeing as he is REAR DETACHMENT, and DOES NOT GET DEPLOYED WITH THE UNIT. So now the Army is once again, bending over backwards to make sure no one’s feelings get hurt.
And it is mighty convenient that this islamoretard started a blog only two days before he gave an interview to Al Jazeera, and is soliciting donations for his possible-but-highly-improbable court costs. The question is, should he be discharged into the general population, with no way of keeping track of the slimy toad, of should the Army keep him and watch the fuckmonkey closely, making sure to monitor his every move?
