All Terrorists are Muslims - How many more Major Hasans are there in the US military waiting to strike? The attack that killed 14 and wounded another 42 at the largest military base in the nation was carried out by a Muslim terrorist in an army major's uniform.
Major Nidal Malik Hasan, 39, walked into the Soldier Readiness Center at Fort Hood at about 1:30 p.m. Thursday, November 5, 2009, armed with two pistols and several magazines of ammo. Without warning Hasan pulled his weapons and started firing at point blank range into a large crowd of soldiers who were processing for deployment. Within minutes Hasan shouting "Allah Akbar" had shot and killed over a dozen soldiers and wounded another forty-two. It was the worse killing spree on a military base in the history of the nation.
Thanks to the quick response by Sgt. Kimberly Munley and her partner Sgt. Mark Todd, members of the federal civilian security police, Hasan was shot and wounded before he could continue his murderous shooting rampage.
Officer Munley was the first officer on the scene and arrived within scant minutes of the shooting. Munley opened fire as Hasan turned his gun on her. Wounded twice by Hasan as they exchanged fire Munley was able to wound Hasan before she went down. As her partner Todd arrived seconds behind Munley Hasan fired two shots at Todd missing him before Todd returned fire and took him down. Hasan had been hit four times and was severely wounded in the exchange of gunfire. Munley was hit in the thigh but is expected to recover fully from her wounds.
A big question is raised as to why there was an absence of armed military personnel in the immediate area. Where were the military police? Why weren't there armed soldiers on guard duty? Why weren't there any military personnel with personal firearms in the area? Why was security left solely to contract civilian security police? The reason was because the military has adopted a "gun free zone" policy on all military installations. This policy was reiterated by the Fort Hood post commander Lt. Gen Robert Cone. "As a matter of practice we do not carry weapons. This is our home," he said. Really now. Fort Hood is a military post first and security should be a first and major priority mission carried out by military personnel not civilian security police.
We have far too many military officers of 4-star rank who are afflicted with a serious case of "political correct" syndrome. Advocates of gun free zones and don't say anything bad about Muslims.
Gun free zones have the practical effect of disarming everyone except the gunman as was the case at Fort Hood. Another example was the Virginia Tech shooting massacre that left 32 students dead at the hands of a lone gunman. Even the security force at Virginia Tech was unarmed.
Had there been a couple of armed military personnel on duty at the Soldier Readiness Center on November 5, Major Hasan might have been stopped before he fired a shot. It doesn't make much sense to have a gun free zone policy on a military installation where the vast majority of military personnel are trained in the use of firearms from handguns and rifles to machine guns.
At one time in the military security for military installations was carried out by military police ( army, navy, air force, etc.) and armed troops on guard around the base. Security wasn't left to civilians.
A major share of blame for the Fort Hood shootings can be assigned to the military for instituting such a ludicrous policy as a "gun free zone" on military installations, especially during a time that America is at war with terrorists around the world. Our military should be on a "war footing" and insure that military personnel have ready access to firearms and that proper security is taken to protect assembly areas where large numbers of troops are present. The Joint Chiefs and Secretary of Defense Bob Gates had better get their heads out of the sand before more troops become "sitting ducks" to another Muslim terrorist(s) like Major Hasan.
As evidenced by the Fort Hood massacre by a Muslim terrorist in an army uniform, America is being threatened as a result of the growing number of Muslims in the country and in the military.
As is the case with the actual number of illegal immigrants in the country, the number of Muslims is also unknown. The number has been estimated at 8 to 10 million and growing. The number of mosques is estimated at over 3,000 and growing. The FBI reported that 10 percent of these mosques teach jihad (death to infidels). Federal prosecutors recently took steps to seize 4 mosques suspected of being controlled by Iran. One of the mosques was in Houston.
According to recent military release in 2008, the Defense Department reported 3,409 Muslims on active duty in the U.S. military, but officials said the number could be at least three times higher. An army infantry division numbers around 12,000 troops about the number of Muslims that could be running around in a military uniform. This is not to say that all Muslims are terrorists or sympathetic to their cause, but all terrorists are Muslims.
As a result of the Fort Hood massacre the U.S. Military plans to investigate the growing number of Muslims in its ranks and the threat of Al Qaida influence.
U.S. Army Chief of Staff Gen. George Casey said, "We have to go back and look at ourselves and ask ourselves the hard questions. Are we doing the right thing? We will learn from this." Let's hope they learn the answer to the hard questions. Questions like just how many Muslims are there wearing U.S. military uniforms and how many are possible terrorists.
It was learned that when Major Hasan first enlisted in the U.S. Army he did not identify himself as a Muslim. One Defense Department official said, "We believe there are many more Muslims who when recruited did not list their religion. Some of these people simply wanted to avoid harassment; others might have had a sinister agenda." Major Hasan sure had a sinister agenda.
Pentagon officials admitted that they have received reports of Muslim soldiers expressing opposition to the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. They said the opposition was encouraged by Islamic clerics as well as Muslim officers such as Hasan, who warned against harming other Muslims. Sure sounds like the Pentagon had prior warnings that Hasan was a terrorist waiting to strike. SecDef Gates has some explaining to do along with the Joint Chiefs. Chances are some lower ranking officer will fall on his sword.
In 2003, another terrorist in uniform was Army Sgt. Hasan Akbar (talk about a terrorist name) killed two officers and wounded 14 other soldiers in a grenade attack. Akbar was sentenced to death by a military court and is awaitng execution. A public firng squad or hanging would be appropriate for Sgt Akbar and Major Hasan and send the right message.
At least one U.S. Senator Joe Liberman, a Connecticut independent, thinks the Pentagon ignored warning signs that Hasan was a Muslim terrorist waiting to strike. Lieberman, chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee said his committee would investigate the Hasan shooting.
"I am intending to begin a congressional investigation of my homeland security committee into what were the motives, what were the motives of Hasan in carrying out this brutal mass murder and to ask whether the army missed warning signs that should have led them to essentially discharge him. If Hasan was showing signs, saying that he had become an Islamist extremist, the U.S. Army has to have zero tolerance. He should have been gone," said Liberman. Way to go Sen. Liberman!
It's time for the Obama anti-America, anti-military, crowd and the Pelosi/Reid gang of traitors and losers in Congress to shape up or ship out. It's time that they realize that America is at war with Muslim terrorists whether overseas in Iraq and Afghanistan or here at home. It's not some kind of a political game to see who can be the biggest apologists for how rotten America is or how quick we can "cut and run" from the battlefields as we did in Korea and Vietnam.
A president who ignores the request of his top general in Afghanistan for combat reinforcements at a time when US troops are facing tough fighting and increased casualties and ignores the Muslim threat at home should be impeached.

Joe Wilson Stands Up For America
Lone Member of Congress Challenges Obama - Out of 534 members of Congress (not counting the late Sen. Kennedy) a lone voice, Rep. Joe Wilson, (R-SC), dared to challenge President Obama's litany of lies during a recent speech before a joint session of Congress. Obama said unauthorized immigrants (aka illegal aliens) would be ineligible for for federal subsidies to buy health insurance.
Joe Wilson, as well as every member of Congress, knew Obama was lying through his teeth. If Obama care is rammed down the throats of American taxpayers illegal immigrants will be receiving free health care. Wilson rose from his seat and shouted "You Lie." Joe Wilson was speaking for the American people and probably most of his Republican colleagues, who didn't have the intestinal fortitude to stand up and support him. No wonder the Republicans are a minority in the US Congress.
President Bush was booed by the Democrats several times during his congressional speeches. There was no outcry then or calls for an apology. I guess if several members boo the president at the same time it's accepted conduct and doesn't violate basic rules of decorum. Yet, if a lone member speaks out then it's an outburst that isn't condoned.
Wilson apologized to the president for his remark and said Obama had "graciously accepted my apology, and the issue is over." "I think it's clear to the American people that there are far more important issues facing this nation than what we're addressing right now," He said. Wilson refused to apologize to the House for his remark.
Obama said,"I'm a big believer that we all make mistakes. He apologized quickly and without equivocation. And I appreciate that. I do think that we have to get to the point that we have a conversation without assuming the worst in people."
Wilson's apology to Obama wasn't good enough for House Democrats. Many of whom had demonized President Bush and members of his cabinet and referred to Bush and Vice-President Dick Cheney as "war criminals and liars."
House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, and highest ranking black in Congress, threatened Wilson with an official House sanction unless he apologized to the House. "Either he can deal with it or the House can deal with it," Clyburn said. Can't let them nasty old Republicans get away with calling the "Messiah" a liar. The truth does hurt.
For the first time in the 233 year history of the nation a "Resolution of Disapproval" was rammed through the House by Democrats admonishing Wilson for speaking out during a presidential speech. The final vote 240-179. At least Texas Republicans voted against the resolution and every Texas Democrat voted for it. No surprise there . Don't mess with Texas Republicans. Too bad they didn't stand up when Wilson made the remark.
If any members of Congress should have been admonished it should have been Sen. Dick"Turban" Durbin for comparing US troops to Nazi SS troops; Sen John "Swift Boat" Kerry, for accusing US troops in Iraq of terrorizing women and children in the middle of the night; Rep. John "Porky Pig" Murtha for calling US Marines "cold blooded" killers and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid for saying the War on Terror "was lost."
Wilson was correct in reminding the American people that there are far more important issues facing the nation than admonishing a member of Congress for challenging a lying president. Like the ongoing War on Terror downgraded to an "Overseas Contingency Operation" by the Obama administration. Obama has a "cut and run" policy underway in Iraq and is waffling on sending additional troops to Afghanistan where US casualties are increasing daily in the fight against enemy Taliban forces.
In the meantime US Attorney General Eric Holder is investigating CIA agents for "torturing" enemy prisoners. One can only ponder why Holder isn't going after the scumbag terrorists who tortured and beheaded Nicolas Burg, Daniel Pearl and American GIs.
In his latest act of appeasement Obama cancelled a Bush plan for an anti ballistic missile defense system in Poland and the Czech Republic. Just in time for the 70th anniversary of Russia's attack on Poland in WWII. Talk about stabbing an ally in the back. That must have had Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, a former Soviet KGB high ranking official, and his Russian thugs dancing in the streets of Moscow while drinking Vodka.
The dictator of Iran, President Amadinejad, surely hailed this as a big victory and an encouragement to pursue the development of intercontinental nuclear missiles with renewed vigor.
Amadinejad, Libya's Qaddafi, and the thug Robert Mugabe are scheduled to speak before the United Nations this week. I'm sure they will be hailed as heroes by the anti-America UN. Don't be surprised to hear that Obama had a secret meeting with this trio of skunks in the bowels of the White House during their UN visit.
With the war in Iraq and Afghanistan still raging; the American economic in shambles and employment nearing double digits Obama is racing from congressional speeches and TV appearances trying to convince the American people to endorse a socialist/communist style health care system.
The Democrat sponsored Town Hall meetings with huge crowds of Americans showing up and telling congressional Democrats, "We don't want socialized medicine," seems to have escaped Obama's attention.
Regardless, the big priority in the US Congress was to get that nasty, Joe Wilson for standing up for America.
Way to go Joe Wilson. Give them hell, Sir!

Ted Kennedy Villain or Statesman
Last of the Kennedy Brothers - Joe, John, Robert and finally young brother Ted Kennedy passes from the scene dying from a brain tumor. Tragic lives. Joe, the oldest, a bomber pilot, killed in action in WWII. John F Kennedy, "PT-109," was a decorated hero in his own right in WWII and assassinated by a nutcase Lee Harvey Oswald while U.S. President in November, 1963. Robert Kennedy, shot and killed by Sirhan Sirhan, while campaigning for President in June, 1968.
Not much was known of Joseph Kennedy other than he was his father Joseph's early pick to be President some day. WWII ended that dream. John F., on the other hand, became the next in line to accomplish his father's wish for one of his sons to be President. Robert Kennedy took up the challenge following the tragic death of President Kennedy by an assassin's bullet.
We now know that John and Robert Kennedy were a couple of womanizers and high rollers. Joseph Kennedy Sr was a known bootlegger and fixer within the political network of good old boys. The Kennedy boys grew up rich and led the socialite life style - wine, women and song. Teddy boy fit right in.
They say you shouldn't kick someone when they're down or say bad things about them when they die. Maybe so for the general rule of being a nice guy. As an old combat soldier, I always put a couple of extra rounds into the bad guys that I shot to make sure they stayed down. I also cussed the poor bastards later. As General Patton said, "Make the other poor son-of-a-bitch die for his country." I always thought that made a lot of sense.
Senator Edward M. Kennedy, 1932-2009, was the third longest-serving member of the U.S. Senate behind Robert KKK Byrd (D-WV) and Strom Thurman (R-SC), serving 47 years before his death. He was first elected in November, 1962 and was elected nine times. He was one of the Senate's most liberal senators. And today's, mostly liberal, socialist, media have made him one of America's greatest ever "Statesman."

He was first elected in November, 1962 and was elected nine times. He was one of the Senate's most liberal senators. And today's, mostly liberal, socialist, media have made him one of America's greatest ever "Statesman."
Edward M. Kennedy, most often referred to by his nickname "Teddy" (Rose Kennedy called her fourth son Teddy after her grandfather Edward who she also called Teddy) was no statesman. He was a spoiled rich kid who never worked a day in a private-sector job. As I said to a friend, the only two good deeds Kennedy ever did for his country was 1. Die and 2. Serve briefly in the U.S. Army (even then, with the help of his father, he avoided the Korean War by serving in Europe and only served half of his enlistment before being discharged as a PFC).
He was expelled twice at Harvard for cheating. While going to law school in Virginia he was cited for reckless driving four times. He was a known drunkard. Despite his reckless actions on and off campus, he managed to pass the bar exam in 1959.
In 1964 he was seriously injured in a plane crash and hospitalized for several months. Hospital tests showed that he was highly intoxicated (drunk) at the time of the accident.
Kennedy's biggest scandal occurred on July 19, 1968, during a drinking party on Chappaquiddick Island in Massachusetts. Shortly after 11:00 pm he offered to give Mary Jo Kopechne, a campaign worker, a ride home. Both had been heavily drinking at the time. Kopechne climbed in the back seat and laid down. A short time later, with Kennedy behind the wheel and Kopechne asleep in the back seat of the Oldsmobile limousine, the car careened off the bridge of the road and turned over into Poucha Pond.
Kennedy managed to escape from the overturned, submerged car and swim to shore. He then walked back to the party leaving Kopechne trapped in the back seat of the car. Instead of reporting the incident to the police, Kennedy went back to his hotel and went to sleep. He called the police the following morning. By then the police had discovered the Oldsmobile in the Poucha Pond. Kopechne had scratched at the upholstery on the floor of the overturned car trying to get out. Authorities believe there was an air pocket above her head and she probably survived for a period of time before drowning. Had Kennedy summoned help, they may have been able to save Kopechne.
Kennedy pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of an accident and was given a suspended sentence of two months. So much for justice. Had it been anyone else without the political connections of the Kennedy's, they would have been behind bars for a long time. Statesman - not in my book.
In his nearly fifty years in the U.S. Senate Kennedy did much damage to the nation with his socialist driven legislative agenda. He played a major part in allowing millions of illegal immigrants to cross our unsecured borders. He was a strong advocate of granting amnesty to all illegals. He was an outspoken advocate of more and more gun control - a staunch anti-Second Amendment politician who favored banning the private ownership of firearms in America. He supported Flag burning, same-sex marriage, homosexuals in the military, Global Warming (now referred to as climate change) and opposed the War on Terror. He was in favor of every social crackpot scheme dreamed up by the Democrats including socialized medicine.
He was well known for endless and degrading grilling of Republican Supreme Court nominees. His scathing remarks directed against Robert Bork, Reagen's USC nominee, became known as the infamous "Borking" of a nominee. Kennedy had the audacity to grill nominees on "what was right." What a jerk.
He was a well known drunk and womanizer around the Washington DC area. A real loud mouthed, foul minded individual who had a reputation for practically molesting women on restaurant and night club tables and booths while in a drunken stupor.
Well, there you have it. Judge for yourselves - Villain (skunk) or Statesman?

The Liberty Tree - Time To Refresh
The Tree of Liberty - Over 200 years ago Thomas Jefferson warned: "The Tree of Liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." Jefferson's warning has been making the rounds as the American people are finally realizing that an avowed socialist/Muslim has occupied the White House. The Obama/Pelosi/Reid "Hammer and Sickle" gang has taken over the country.
As far as the OPR H&S gang is concerned Jefferson and the rest of the Founding Fathers were just a bunch of mostly nasty, mean, old white guys and slave owners. It's time to build a new America they say. Modeled after socialism a more Marxist state. Whether we like or not that's where we're headed.
In 1878, Senator Benjamin Hill said, "I do not dread industrial corporations as instruments of power to destroy this country. But there is one corporation we may all dread: that corporation is the federal government. If this ambitious, ever-growing corporation become oppressive, who shall check it. If it become unjust, who shall trust it. Watch and guard with sleepless dread that corporation which can make all property and the rights of all states and people, all liberty and hope, its playthings in an hour, its victims forever." Senator Hill must have had a crystal ball to see so far into the future. To predict, with such accuracy, what is happening in America in the year 2009. Scary.
Unfortunately, despite the best efforts of men like Ronald Reagen and other stalwart conservatives, America has been drifting towards socialism. Organizations, like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), American Communist Union would be a better name, have been relentless in attacking the values that made America great. Removing God, bible and prayer from our public schools was one of their biggest victories. Many of our freedoms are being swept away like dry leaves in the wind.
Just take a look what Obama has done, with the help of the Pelosi/Reid gang of socialists and traitors, in the first 100 days of his presidency. He has bankrupt the nation with his stimulus scam; nationalized a big part of the automobile industry; taken over the banking and financial institutions; pushed a Cap and Trade tax scam through the House and is doing his damnest to cram socialized medicine down the throats of Americans. Anyone opposed to Obama Care is being branded as un-American. The White House is calling for the names of these un-American types to be reported to the administration. Big Brother is watching us.
The Republicans have been pushed into a corner and found themselves in a pitiful minority in the House and especially in the Senate with the Democrats holding a 60 seat majority. The Republicans only have themselves to blame. Many deserted their conservative values and went along to get along. The Cap and Trade bill would not have passed the House had eight Republicans not voted for its passage. The Republicans are starting to fight back but no real leader has yet to surface. There has to a leader out there somewhere. Time is running out.
In the meantime the Republicans are going to have to rid themselves of the RINOs Republicans in name only. Sen. Arlan Spector, ex-presidential candidate, left on his own and good riddance. The rest like Collins and Snowe and the eight turncoats in the House need to be given the boot.
The one good thing about the Obama health care scam is that it has finally aroused Americans to take a hard look at what's going on in their government. And as the old saying goes, "We're mad as hell and we're not going to take it anymore." Of all of the Obama/Pelosi/Reid socialist schemes this one has them on the defensive for a change. If Americans can't see what's happening to their country they may just as well turn in their guns, run up the white flag and kiss America goodbye. Relegated to the dustbin of history.
"Revolution" is in the air - you hear it more and more these days. Popular radio and TV talk show host Glenn Beck in his new book "Common Sense" calls for a peaceful, non-violent "Revolution." We may well have a revolution but I'm not so sure it will be as peaceful or non-violent as Beck and others suggest.
The vast majority of those showing up at the infamous "Town Hall" meetings are middle-aged to senior "White" citizens, many of whom are life long Democrats. They are not happy campers and congressional Democrats are running for cover like a bunch of sewer rats. They can't take the heat.
As a nearly 74-year-old white guy, honky, gringo, etc., I've always been upset with the way whites have been shoved aside by minorities. The "get even" mentality is obvious to most whites when they see a Hispanic or Black Chamber of Commerce, African American Week, American Indian Week, Asia-American Week, Black Miss America, and on and on. Yet, if anyone dared to suggest a White American Week or a white anything there would be hell to pay. Scared to death of being called a racist most whites have remained silent.
The socialist goals of the Obama administration have been a wake up call for Americans, a call to action and white Americans are going to lead the charge according to a patriotic black man by the name of James David Manning, PhD, author of the Oblation Hour.
Here's a part of what Manning had to say about Obama who he calls "Mack Daddy:" "There's going to be a revolution, Patrick Henry style, in America where red blooded, God fearing, Jesus loving Americans are going to stand up and say "we're not going to take it anymore." There's going to be riots in the streets. Worse than the riots in South Los Angeles after they acquitted the cops who beat up Rodney King. Black people riots - you haven't seen anything yet. White folks are tired of the long legged Mack Daddy kicking them in the face every time he gets up and lies to them.
You get these white folks all riled up - the members of the NRA are going to come into black neighborhoods. White people are being pushed around, kicked to the curb, having their rights denied, being called racists. Being walked on, watching their tax dollars go to fund all kinds of drug sales, prostitution, illegal immigration. Pushing white folks where they are not going to take it anymore.
He (Obama) is destroying the fabric and fiber of the nation. You're going to see an uprising in the nation. White folks are ready to riot and I don't blame them. White folks are forming right now - I hope they let me join them.
Everybody knows the man (Obama) is an illegal alien. The man is not a citizen of the United States. They need to get this long legged Mack Daddy, this two tongued liar, this quasi Muslim, socialist, communist, Marxist freak called Barack Hussein Obama out of the White House."
Wow - Tough talk James Manning. Way to go! It has finally taken a proud, God fearing, patriotic black American to tell it like it is. Let's hope the Obama White House and congressional Democrats and their cohorts in the liberal, socialist, anti-America, anti-military media get the message. White folks are rising up!
As far as the OPR H&S gang is concerned Jefferson and the rest of the Founding Fathers were just a bunch of mostly nasty, mean, old white guys and slave owners. It's time to build a new America they say. Modeled after socialism a more Marxist state. Whether we like or not that's where we're headed.

The one good thing about the Obama health care scam is that it has finally aroused Americans to take a hard look at what's going on in their government. And as the old saying goes, "We're mad as hell and we're not going to take it anymore." Of all of the Obama/Pelosi/Reid socialist schemes this one has them on the defensive for a change. If Americans can't see what's happening to their country they may just as well turn in their guns, run up the white flag and kiss America goodbye. Relegated to the dustbin of history.
"Revolution" is in the air - you hear it more and more these days. Popular radio and TV talk show host Glenn Beck in his new book "Common Sense" calls for a peaceful, non-violent "Revolution." We may well have a revolution but I'm not so sure it will be as peaceful or non-violent as Beck and others suggest.
The vast majority of those showing up at the infamous "Town Hall" meetings are middle-aged to senior "White" citizens, many of whom are life long Democrats. They are not happy campers and congressional Democrats are running for cover like a bunch of sewer rats. They can't take the heat.
As a nearly 74-year-old white guy, honky, gringo, etc., I've always been upset with the way whites have been shoved aside by minorities. The "get even" mentality is obvious to most whites when they see a Hispanic or Black Chamber of Commerce, African American Week, American Indian Week, Asia-American Week, Black Miss America, and on and on. Yet, if anyone dared to suggest a White American Week or a white anything there would be hell to pay. Scared to death of being called a racist most whites have remained silent.
The socialist goals of the Obama administration have been a wake up call for Americans, a call to action and white Americans are going to lead the charge according to a patriotic black man by the name of James David Manning, PhD, author of the Oblation Hour.
Here's a part of what Manning had to say about Obama who he calls "Mack Daddy:" "There's going to be a revolution, Patrick Henry style, in America where red blooded, God fearing, Jesus loving Americans are going to stand up and say "we're not going to take it anymore." There's going to be riots in the streets. Worse than the riots in South Los Angeles after they acquitted the cops who beat up Rodney King. Black people riots - you haven't seen anything yet. White folks are tired of the long legged Mack Daddy kicking them in the face every time he gets up and lies to them.
You get these white folks all riled up - the members of the NRA are going to come into black neighborhoods. White people are being pushed around, kicked to the curb, having their rights denied, being called racists. Being walked on, watching their tax dollars go to fund all kinds of drug sales, prostitution, illegal immigration. Pushing white folks where they are not going to take it anymore.
He (Obama) is destroying the fabric and fiber of the nation. You're going to see an uprising in the nation. White folks are ready to riot and I don't blame them. White folks are forming right now - I hope they let me join them.
Everybody knows the man (Obama) is an illegal alien. The man is not a citizen of the United States. They need to get this long legged Mack Daddy, this two tongued liar, this quasi Muslim, socialist, communist, Marxist freak called Barack Hussein Obama out of the White House."
Wow - Tough talk James Manning. Way to go! It has finally taken a proud, God fearing, patriotic black American to tell it like it is. Let's hope the Obama White House and congressional Democrats and their cohorts in the liberal, socialist, anti-America, anti-military media get the message. White folks are rising up!

Michael "Buckwheat" Jackson Is Gone
Pop Icon Pervert Dead At 50 - I guess if you can sing and dance well enough you can be as successful as Michael Jackson. Personally, I thought he sounded like a woman; looked like one of those wooden puppets dancing at the end of strings; had the weird face of a zombie and enjoyed molesting little boys. If he was playing with a full deck I would be greatly surprised.
A friend of mine, when learning of Jackson's death, said "Buckwheat" died. Jackson was a child star and so was "Buckwheat" played by a little black kid by the name of William Thomas Jr in the "Little Rascals" movies in the late 1930s. Buckwheat Thomas was born March 12, 1931 and died in 1980 of a heart attack. As far as we know Buckwheat never molested little boys or tried to make himself white.
One thing is for certain - character means nothing anymore in America. Especially if you're a pop icon, movie or TV star, governor, congressman or the POTUS. All that matters is appearance. If you can sing, act, or lie well enough you can be at the top of your profession or gig. Michael Jackson had talent but he sure as hell came up short on character.
Let's face it folks - it's becoming more and more difficult to find a public figure in the entertainment or political field that has any moral character left. Lie, steal, cheat, and molest your way to fame and fortune. It's the new American way. Michael Jackson proved it works. So did Bill Clinton. The Hollywood crowd speaks for itself.
I have a hard time feeling sorry over Jackson's death. Here is a man who acted like some kind of nut hiding behind dark glasses and wearing white gloves. He had so many nose jobs that his nose looked like a wad of gum. He paid $22 million to shut up a young boy he was accused of molesting and admitted to sleeping with several other young boys. He had sham marriages that ended in divorce. One to Lisa Marie Presley, that must have had Elvis turning over in his grave, and a second to Deborah Rowe his nurse. Jackson and Rowe had two children by artificial insemination and a third by an anonymous surrogate.
In 2002, in demonstrating what a nutcase he was, Jackson dangled his infant son over a high rise balcony. He was a known drug addict and was skin and bones and bald when he kicked the bucket. He was badly burned when his hair caught on fire while filming a Pepsi commercial and was forced to wear a wig. His personal life was definitely nothing to stand up and cheer about.
It should also be noted that Jackson didn't live up to the old adage among African-Americans that "black is beautiful." Jackson was not black black but brown or ebony skinned. Yet, he didn't try to make himself more brown or black. No, he made himself white - he wanted to be white not black.
As stated character means nothing anymore. You can be the biggest scumbag in the world and still be loved and adored by your fans and supporters. All you have to do is be successful as an entertainer or politician. And not let your scumbag activities catch up to you. Although Jackson, at one time, was one of the richest entertainers around he was deep in debt at the time of his death. He was famous and infamous at the same time.
The Rev. Al Sharpton lost no time in hogging the spotlight following Jackson's death. Sharpton showed up at a press conference with Michael's father Joe Jackson concerning child custody, Michael's Will and funeral arrangements. Sharpton took the opportunity to promote Joe Jackson's new record company. Sharpton not only wanted the publicity but also wanted to cash in on the record company. Leave it to Sharpton to take full advantage of the situation. I'm surprised they didn't blame Bush for Michael's death.
It's no secret that Michael hated his father and it's unlikely that he would have wanted him to represent him after his passing.
If there was any justice left in America Michael Jackson would have probably died in prison or been an old man when his sentence was up. In the meantime the Jackson clan will be fighting over anything left of Jackson's debt-ridden estate.

Obama Fiddles While Tehran Burns
Obama's "No Meddling" Policy In Iran Politics - Obama is living up to his campaign promise to sit down with countries like Iran, North Korea and Syria with no preconditions.
Obama has expressed concern over the protests and the violence in Iran but has refused to interfere with the June, 2009 presidential election. "It's not productive, given the history of US-Iranian relations, to be seen as meddling," he told reporters. I'm sure that had Ahmadinejad and his cronies dancing in the streets.
While North Korea continues to give us the finger and is threatening to launch a missile at Hawaii and Iran is close to a civil war, Obama is taking a "wait and see" approach. So much for standing up for freedom and liberty for the people of North Korea and the Iranian people who are being shot down in the streets of Tehran by armed thugs.
One young lady protester, 26-year-old Neda Agha-Soltan, was gunned down as she marched. Friends tried in vain to save her as she bled to death on the street. Her slaying at the hands of the Revolutionary Guards was captured on video and seen around the world. Neda has become a martyr for freedom in Iran. You haven't heard Obama say anything about her sacrifice.
Let's face it, Obama is a Muslim. He's one of them. After all he wanted to sit down with Iran's scumbag dictator Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and cut a deal to sell out America while citing passages from the Koran. The next thing you know he'll be trying to cut a deal with North Korea's pint-sized dictator Kim Jong-il. He has already gone along with the ludicrous UN directive that US Navy ships can't stop and board North Korean ships suspected of carrying contraband weapons without their permission. Admiral Bull Halsey must be turning over in his grave.
Obama's inaction has been a signal for tyrants, dictators and terrorists around the world that America has become a paper tiger. One thing is for certain America's enemies have nothing to fear from our "wait and see" president.
If Ronald Reagan were President today, you can bet North Korea wouldn't be aiming missiles at us. And Ahmadinejad and the mad mullahs wouldn't get away with hijacking the election and gunning down peaceful protesters. We wouldn't be pulling out of Iraq before the job is done either.
In April, 1986, following the bombing of a club in West Berlin by Libyan terrorists that killed two US servicemen and wounded 200 civilians, Reagan ordered air strikes against Libya. US fighter jets bombed Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi's compound and several military targets, including sinking two navy gunships. Qaddafi became silent and meek as a church mouse after that.
Lest we forget, it was Iranian militants that seized the US Embassy in Nov. 1979 and held 52 Americans hostage for 444 days. Ahmadinejad was one of the militants. Following a failed rescue mission President Carter continued to wring his hands in despair The minute Reagan was elected President the hostages were released.
President Reagan visited the Berlin Wall in 1987 and in a famous speech said, "Mr Gorbachev, Tear Down This Wall." In 2009 President Obama visits Germany and tells the world what a rotten country America is.
We can thank former President Jimmy Carter for much of the mess in Iran today. In 1979 the Shah of Iran, a pro-American leader, was ousted and replaced by a fierce anti-American Ayatollah Khomeni. Khomeni called the US the great Satan and a nation of infidels. Carter stood by and did nothing to help the Shah who was forced into exile.
Carter continues to stick his liberal nose into foreign affairs and hasn't found a terrorist organization that he doesn't like. America would be much better off if Carter stayed on his peanut farm in Georgia. So far Obama, without any help from Carter, has managed to bankrupt the nation; apologize to all of our enemies and trash our allies.
The Iran government or dictatorship, has depended on the Revolutionary Guards to protect it and keep citizens in line. And has used the Guard and riot police to confront demonstrators protesting the June 12 presidential elections.
The supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has four layers of security forces to deal with protesters. The first two are police officers and the Basij Militia whose members have some military training and number an estimated three million nationwide.
The third and most reliable is the 120,000 member Revolutionary Guards, formed after the 1979 revolution because the mullahs didn't trust the military and wanted their own force. The Revolutionary Guards have their own land, naval and air forces. Ahmadinejad was a commander in the Guards during the eight-year Iran-Iraq War.
The fourth layer is the 430,000 member regular army, the Artesh. Their main mission is to protect Iran's border. Most members are conscripts and serve a mandatory two years of service and aren't normally used to deal with civil unrest.
Regardless, Iran has a powerful, well armed and equipped force to deal with civil unrest. The new leader of the Revolutionary Guards is Mohammad Ali Jafari, a guerrilla warfare expert trained in insurgency tactics. He has decentralized the Guard and given more authority to to commanders in each of Iran's 30 provinces.
Jafari has also combined the the Basij militia forces with the Guards for training. Ahmadinejad has made sure both forces are well funded and equipped.
There have been reports that the opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi has some support from within the ranks of the Revolutionary Guards and the Basij militia. One report cited a decorated Revolutionary Guards commander was arrested for refusing to take action against protesters. Any large defections from the ranks could play into Mousavi's hands. Whether Mousavi would be a more moderate leader willing to come to terms with the US is still a big question.
Ahmadinejad hasn't changed his rhetoric and repeats his plan to "wipe Israel off the map" and denies that the Holocaust took place. And this the guy Obama wants to sit down and meet with. Reminds me of the infamous meeting British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlin had with Hitler in 1938. Chamberlin signed the Munich Agreement and declared it was "peace in our time." The following year Hitler invaded Poland and Britain declared war on Germany. So much for appeasement.
Republicans have finally decided to speak out against Obama's no meddling policy. House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA) said, "The human tragedy continues in Iran. Around the world people are inspired by the courage of the Iranian people fighting for free elections, using new media tools like Twitter to ensure their voices are heard by all of us. America has a moral responsibility to stand up for these brave people."
"The administration's position that what's going on in Iran is a 'vigorous debate' is absurd, he added. "People are are being brutalized and murdered by the regime in Tehran. We have no idea exactly how many have died or have been seriously injured, since the regime has restricted journalists' ability to report. In no way do these actions constitute a 'vigorous debate.'" Way to go Congressman Eric Cantor!
Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), has repeatedly accused Obama for a weak response to the situation in Iran and said the President should declare the elections "a sham." "People are being killed and beaten in the streets of Tehran and all over Iran, and we should stand up for them. The way we stood up for the Polish workers in Gdansk, the way we stood up for the people of then Czechoslovakia in the Prague Spring and we stood up for freedom in every part of the world. We're not doing that," he said. I guess Mac deserves a pat on the back.
If we had a President with a pair, which we don't, Ahmadinejad and Ayatollah Ali Khamenei would be given 24 hours to pack up and leave Iran. If they don't they would be removed by superior US military force. Mousavi would be given a chance to form a new government with the stipulation that the Revolutionary Guards and the Basij militia be disarmed and disband. Further, that all nuclear programs be scrapped. Failure to do so will result in military action to destroy all nuclear sites. Finally, that the Mousavi government recognize Israel's right to exist and to stop all aid to Hezbollah and all terrorist organizations.
North Korea would be given notice that if they fire one more rocket or missile the United States will respond with full military force. All nuclear programs will cease immediately and nuclear sites will be dismantled. The North Korean dictator and his sons will be given 24 hours to leave North Korea and seek political asylum. The North Korean military will immediately stand down and surrender all weapons and equipment to the South Korean military. All North Korean ships at sea will return to port or be sunk by US Naval forces. Failure to fully comply will result in the United States declaring war on North Korea. The use of nuclear weapons against North Korea will not be ruled out. Once this action has been taken the remaining government of North Korea will be abolished and North and South will be reunited as a country under the government of South Korea.
To rebuild our military and to deal with contingencies in a world full of danger the military draft will be immediately reinstated and a call up of draftees ordered.
Finally, the United States will withdraw from the United Nations and will order the UN to immediately leave the United States. The UN building will be demolished, starting with the twisted gun barrel revolver monument at the entrance, and the site turned into a national park site honoring US military veterans.

North Korea Thumbs Nose At US (Again)
The World Still Hates Us - Obama vowed that if he was elected president the "world would love us again." Those weren't his exact words but he made it clear that it was Bush's and other Republican administration's policies that turned much of the world against us. He made apologizing for America's "imperialistic"past the center piece of his overseas addresses to foreign governments. He has also made it clear that there will be no more anti-Muslim rhetoric coming from the White House while he's in charge.
Unfortunately, much of the world has never loved us to begin with. And North Korea is close to the top of the list and showed it with their latest "take this America" missile launches and saber rattling. Osama Bin Laden aka Osama Bin Hidden was quick to release an "up yours America" video immediately following "we love Muslims" speech by Obama. This must have troubled the Messiah greatly after extending a hand of friendship to the terrorists while quoting from the Koran.
BTW I thought Obama was going to hunt down Osama and kill him during the first 100 days of his administration. That would explain why Osama is upset with Obama.
His peace overtures to Hamas, Hezbollah and the thugs in Iran, at Israel's expense, didn't get the response he wanted. Iran's little Hitler Mahmoud Ahmadinejad still wants to wipe Israel off the map and is charging ahead with his nuclear weapons program. In a surprise move Secretary of State Hillary Clinton actually started screeching that the US would retaliate with military force if Iran launched a nuclear missile attack on Israel. I guess she cleared that with the Messiah first. Anyhow, at the very least she deserves an "atta girl" for putting the little rat on notice.
In the end if anything is done about Iran's nuclear sites it will probably be up to Israel to take them out. In June, 1981, Israeli fighter jets took out nuclear sites in Iraq. In 2007 they knocked out nuclear sites in Syria being built by North Korea. Israel doesn't appeal to the United Nations or rely on diplomatic rhetoric when it comes to defending their country and its citizens. They kick butt big time. Way to go Israel.
Gen. MacArthur tried to tell President Harry Truman that there was no "substitute for victory" during the Korean War 1950-53, but Truman fired him anyway for insisting on winning the war. President Reagen pointed out that the Korean War was our first no win war. Where it was okay to fight and die but not win because it might start a bigger war. In the end we cut and run and left a bunch of North Korean armed, communist thugs in charge above the 38th Parallel. In Vietnam we just cut and run and sold out South Vietnam to another bunch of armed, communist thugs who are now running the entire country.
Today North Korea is ruled by Kim Jong-il, a pint-sized dictator, who is threatening to nuke everyone. Despite the fact that his people are practically starving to death, he continues to pursue his nuclear weapons program and maintain one of the largest standing armies in the world. North Korea's military, at last count, numbered over 1.2 million strong compared to South Korea's 680,000. There are over 30,000 US military personnel stationed in South Korea prepared to backup the South Korean military from an attack by the North.
North Korea has learned by now that the United Nations is a totally worthless and incompetent organization. The US has threatened sanctions and blockades and hints at military action over the years but much of it was mostly bluffs. And Kim Jong-il knows it. He also knows that he can probably get away with a lot more now that Obama is president.
Obama called North Korea's latest missile launch "provocative" and pledged to take action at a UN Security Council meeting. In other words the US will do nothing but make another "complaint" to the worthless, anti-America UN. A move that must have really scared the hell out of North Korea.
Hillary also lost her screeching voice and threats to retaliate over the incident and "discussed" it with her Japanese counterpart Foreign Minister Hirofumi. Make that "let's do nothing." Hillary and Obama had campaigned on who was best able to take a "3 am" emergency call to the White House. As it turns out neither one was up to the task.
Obama has his hands full with the increased fighting in Afghanistan, plans to pull out of Iraq and closing GITMO. Now he has Iran and North Korea raising hell. Still, his main concern seems to be in nationalizing as much of the private sector as he can and as fast as he can. He has already bankrupted the nation and run up the largest national debt in the history of the country. That humming noise you hear is government printing presses churning out new money 24/7. His next move is to pack the courts with socialist judges. While all of this is going on he continues to "apologize" to the rest of the world and tell them what a rotten country America is.
You can bet the world is watching the Obama/Pelosi/Reid gang of socialists run America into the ground. America's enemies are certainly watching and plotting. They see us anxious to cut and run in Iraq and less than aggressive in Afghanistan. They see us waffle on North Korea and Iran and our questionable support of Israel in their fight against Hamas and other terrorist outfits. They see the President of the United States travelling around the world bowing down to Arab leaders and running down America with his "apologetic" speeches.
They see a continued reluctance to secure our borders and deal with illegal immigration. They see an indifferent response to the growing Muslim presence in America and the thousands of Muslim mosques being built throughout the country. They see a government trying its damnedest to disarm its citizens. They see an America that is ripe for widespread terrorist attacks throughout the country.
America had better wake up before it's too late. As Barry Goldwater once said, "Extremism in defense of liberty is no vice." Goldwater was right but like so many truly, patriotic Americans he isn't around anymore. Who is looking out for America? The Democrats and the RINOs sure as hell aren't.
Unfortunately, much of the world has never loved us to begin with. And North Korea is close to the top of the list and showed it with their latest "take this America" missile launches and saber rattling. Osama Bin Laden aka Osama Bin Hidden was quick to release an "up yours America" video immediately following "we love Muslims" speech by Obama. This must have troubled the Messiah greatly after extending a hand of friendship to the terrorists while quoting from the Koran.
BTW I thought Obama was going to hunt down Osama and kill him during the first 100 days of his administration. That would explain why Osama is upset with Obama.
His peace overtures to Hamas, Hezbollah and the thugs in Iran, at Israel's expense, didn't get the response he wanted. Iran's little Hitler Mahmoud Ahmadinejad still wants to wipe Israel off the map and is charging ahead with his nuclear weapons program. In a surprise move Secretary of State Hillary Clinton actually started screeching that the US would retaliate with military force if Iran launched a nuclear missile attack on Israel. I guess she cleared that with the Messiah first. Anyhow, at the very least she deserves an "atta girl" for putting the little rat on notice.
In the end if anything is done about Iran's nuclear sites it will probably be up to Israel to take them out. In June, 1981, Israeli fighter jets took out nuclear sites in Iraq. In 2007 they knocked out nuclear sites in Syria being built by North Korea. Israel doesn't appeal to the United Nations or rely on diplomatic rhetoric when it comes to defending their country and its citizens. They kick butt big time. Way to go Israel.
Gen. MacArthur tried to tell President Harry Truman that there was no "substitute for victory" during the Korean War 1950-53, but Truman fired him anyway for insisting on winning the war. President Reagen pointed out that the Korean War was our first no win war. Where it was okay to fight and die but not win because it might start a bigger war. In the end we cut and run and left a bunch of North Korean armed, communist thugs in charge above the 38th Parallel. In Vietnam we just cut and run and sold out South Vietnam to another bunch of armed, communist thugs who are now running the entire country.
Today North Korea is ruled by Kim Jong-il, a pint-sized dictator, who is threatening to nuke everyone. Despite the fact that his people are practically starving to death, he continues to pursue his nuclear weapons program and maintain one of the largest standing armies in the world. North Korea's military, at last count, numbered over 1.2 million strong compared to South Korea's 680,000. There are over 30,000 US military personnel stationed in South Korea prepared to backup the South Korean military from an attack by the North.
North Korea has learned by now that the United Nations is a totally worthless and incompetent organization. The US has threatened sanctions and blockades and hints at military action over the years but much of it was mostly bluffs. And Kim Jong-il knows it. He also knows that he can probably get away with a lot more now that Obama is president.
Obama called North Korea's latest missile launch "provocative" and pledged to take action at a UN Security Council meeting. In other words the US will do nothing but make another "complaint" to the worthless, anti-America UN. A move that must have really scared the hell out of North Korea.
Hillary also lost her screeching voice and threats to retaliate over the incident and "discussed" it with her Japanese counterpart Foreign Minister Hirofumi. Make that "let's do nothing." Hillary and Obama had campaigned on who was best able to take a "3 am" emergency call to the White House. As it turns out neither one was up to the task.
