Cats, Guns, and National Security

To those who complain how countries that get U.S. support often have connections with enemies: Consider the matter from the other side.  NOT the country receiving the aid, but rather the enemy in question.  Why would a country have such dealings with a country with such ties to their enemy, the USA?  Oh, that's simple.  They see that they can use their influence with the middle country to their advantage.  The connection to the U.S. concerns them, but they balance that against what they gain or believe they might gain.  They might even see the connection to the U.S. as having some benefits. Now, while I'm in principle all for coercing countries receiving our aid into being more cooperative, people who do kneejerk complaining about such situations need to consider that the U.S. might be in the same position--seeing that, on balance, we might gain at times from such arrangements.  They can continue to argue specific cases, but they need to shut up with...

As a volunteer at a local Humane Society shelter, I say YES!! Hattip to NRA: http://www.nraila.org/News/Read/InTheNews.aspx?ID=14970 http://donyoung.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=233025 Washington, Mar 30  - Rep. Young Refuses Humane Society Award Alaskan Congressman Don Young refused an award this evening from The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) and the Humane Society Legislative Fund that would have honored his work for animals in 2010.   While capitalizing on the good work of local humane societies that shelter, spay, and neuter animals, the HSUS does not own, operate, or directly control a single animal shelter in our country, despite a budget of well over $100 million. "HSUS are hypocrites, plain and simple, and I will not join them by accepting this award," said Rep. Young .  "Local animal shelters and humane societies do excellent work by caring for neglected and homel...

This is absolute proof of the need to expressly ban Sharia law in American courts.  All critics of such efforts now need to shut up!  --- On Fri, 3/18/11, Act for America <actforamerica@donationnet.net> wrote: Subject: Judge orders Muslims to follow sharia law!

Bill Mayer is and always will be an asshole.  But he's a thinking and useful asshole. http://townhall.com/tipsheet/greghengler/2011/03/12/congressman_ellison_i_became_a_muslim_for_social_justice__social_change--but_terrorisms_political Greg Hengler Congressman Ellison: I Became A Muslim For "Social Justice & Social Change"--But Terrorism's Political Listen closely and tell me theologically how at the heart of Islam, it is not a religion of church AND state. Note how Ellison applauds why he chose Islam and then listen to how he criticizes Muslims for politicizing the faith. He appears a bit confused about the "religion of peace." Note too that the peaceful passage he is quoting is from the earlier parts of the Quran which are 86'd by the later and more hateful, violent, and intolerant parts. <iframe src="http://videos.mediaite.com/embed/player/?layout=&playlist_cid=...

The conservative, pro-Tea Party PJTV has the Left-Right distinction correct.  Dumbas..., ur, conservatives, so often get mad at me when I point out the correct definition in political science for the spectrum, which places Nazism/Fascism on the Right, while Communism is on the Left.  The dumb..., ur, people, tell me that both are on the Left, because both are authoritarian.  They are obsessed with individualism and personal "freedom," and thus cannot and will not understand that the spectrum is defined not by "liberty," but rather the role of natural and traditional factors and power structures (e.g., race, nation, family, religion, etc.). Thanks to PJTV for getting it right! PLEASE PASS THIS TO YOUR GRASSROOTS CONSERVATIVE FRIENDS ... you know, the types who think Congress passed "dat dere Roe V. Wade law" and that it goes against where the Constitution says that "all men are created equal."  Use it to help explain to them the true, political-...

Elisabeth Sabaditsh-Woolf, one of ACT! for America's international chapter leaders, was acquitted on the charge of incitement to hatred. That's the good news. The bad news is she was found guilty of "denigrating" the teachings of a religion. You can read more in a column by Henrik Clausen. Clausen's column notes that punishing someone for "denigrating" Islam is problematic, precisely because of what is contained in Islam's holy books: ...
