Leaders of the Free World...Fight for Your People!!!

Still think we can negotiate with the terrorists. Still think we need to try to understand them, huh?

Great Britain just got their answer. Looks very much like the one we got back on 9/11.

What’s to understand? They are murderers, cowards, and they’re lower than pond scum. They’re a cancer on the earth.

Now, we can all sit around in a circle, join hands, and sing “cum baya”, ‘til the cows come home, and those crazy lunatics will continue blowing us up and killing us.

While the “limp wristed liberals” in the US Congress, and the Parliament of Great Britain, in the UN, in NATO, and in the European Union, wring their hands in dismay, moan, and groan: “woe is me”… somebody needs to be killing those bastards as fast as they can!

How much more killing of the world’s innocent will it take? Good Lord, people, if we’re to die, let us die like men, on our feet, facing our enemy, and struggling with them… with bare fists if necessary! Men die fighting, face-to-face, with their enemy. Men do not die with their heads bowed, and their necks bared, awaiting the sword!

This is a life and death struggle. It will not end in our lifetimes. So we have a choice. We can refuse to see it for what it is (which is what the Left… all over the world… is doing!) or we can face up to it and give all-out battle in an attempt to destroy it. We cannot do as we are doing now. These puny, half-hearted attempts at cleaning out pockets of enemy combatants, here and there, around the globe, are only delaying the inevitable… our own defeat… our own enslavement!

To our President, to our Congressman, to our ministers of Parliament, I say, get off your behinds and engage the enemy. Fight for the lives of your people! If the free world is to go down, then for God’s sake, let us go down swinging!

We’re acting like a bunch of sissy schoolgirls. We have durned near as many lawyers in the combat zone as we do combat soldiers! Fighting a "politically correct war" will get us only defeat, while the body count of innocent people, all over the world, continues to pile up. This is simply unforgivable!

I am tired of the whining, and the moaning, and groaning, coming from the Congress... in my own country. Almost 50% of the Congressmen, and Senators, want nothing more than failure for the US in its war against terrorism. I am embarrassed to say that it certainly seems they want only power for themselves, and their party, (the party out of power). They don’t give a “rats rear end” what happens to the country, just as long as they can re-gain power. My God, talk about weapons of mass destruction, THEY are the weapons of mass destruction! While they scheme, and plan, to retake the US government, people are getting blown to bits by the dozens, the hundreds and yes, even the thousands!

This pathetic attempt at placating an enemy, sworn to wipe us off the face of the earth, has got to stop. We need a concentrated, all out, effort to rid the earth of “those people”! Total war! Take down country after country ‘til there is no place left for them to hide. Then eradicate them.

We need to see the photos of the Twin Towers, in New York, collapsing, and the London Subways smoking, and the crumpled up metal that used to be a Double Decker Bus, and the Spanish train… blown to bits, every time we turn on a TV. Every US Newspaper should have a permanent photo of the Twin Towers burning, on the front page, as constant reminders of what this fight is about!

Dear Reader, I will either live, or I will die, but, I refuse to live as a slave to some religious fundamentalist stuck in the 13th century! No way!

If we have to land troops on the Mediterranean beaches of Syria and march eastward to the borders of China, then so be it. You cut a cancer out! “Those People” are a cancer on the earth. Let’s cut them out! Now!

The “Airheads” of Hollywood are beginning to feel the wrath of the “silent majority” out here in the hinterlands.

We are fed-up with their self appointed expertise in diplomacy, and in politics in general. Their slobbering after the Clinton Administration was the beginning of their fall. Their rabid attacks of the current administration has underscored their vacuous, brainless, emotion based hate of anything even approaching Conservative. Their hedonism is held up to the light, for all to see, and they attack the light because the truth of who, and what they are, nearly destroys them.

It is fear that motivates them. Fear that their Godless existence will tarnish their carefully molded personas and mark them with the “Mark of the Beast”.

No single community in America has done more to destroy this nation than Hollywood. None. Their efforts have lowered the morals of America’s youth to the lowest common denominator… and then lowered it some more.

No longer does the public believe they create movies for the sake of the art of entertainment. Now we know they create movies as propaganda, as “How To” instruction for all sorts of crime and debauchery.

Their utter disregard for morality is disgusting. When we think they have sunk as low as it is possible for one to sink, they sink even lower.

And now… they want to dictate, to average Americans, how their government should conduct the people’s business. They call into question the veracity of a President, and a government, duly elected by the people of the US, and undermine the war efforts of this country by propping up dictators and publicly slandering the US while visiting other countries abroad. They have thrown themselves into the "vast left-wing conspiracy" with a vengence!

While many of the top tier actors, and actresses, haven’t even a high school diploma, they know they are smarter than you and I because they can ACT AS IF THEY ARE. They have come to believe their own press releases!

Their disgusting, degrading, products have polluted the minds of our youth long enough. It is time they got their comeuppance.

Hollywood has been asking for this for a long time.

Let Europe Save Africa, If They Can!

Why, suddenly, is the world so interested in Africa?

Well, let’s face it, Africa is loaded with natural resources... from diamonds, and gold, to that black gold, oil.

Until recently, Africa has been written off as a “lost cause” with no hope of salvation, at least by the Western World. Now there is renewed interest in the welfare of Africa. This is suspiciously sudden!

Africa has been feeding on itself since the last days of "Colonialism". They have shown a marked inability to govern themselves... or even to shed the “tribal” state of mind for the common good. As a result they have remained in a perpetual state of unrest and turmoil. Black dictators and demigods rule some of the worse off African nations. There is no end in sight. Maybe the West was correct to pull out and leave them to their own devices.

Look, if we get sucked into that "morass of chaos", we may never be able to free ourselves. Pouring money into Africa is like pouring water into a bottomless pit. There will never be enough to fill it up. If Europe wants to take on this burden, then by all means the US should let them. But, the US should keep a "hands-off” policy towards Africa.

The “Dark Continent” remains "dark" primarily because the "knowledgeable" Africans have gotten out. Many have come to Europe, and the States, for an education… and stayed. As a result, the best, and the brightest Africans are here, in the States, and in Europe. Some have called it a massive “Brain Drain”. That might be an apt description.

I have thought, many times, we should re-institute Colonialism in Africa. The problem is, as it was then, the cost. No single nation can afford the drain on its treasury that the rescue of Africa will cost. Belgium, France, Great Britain, the Dutch, none of these can afford it. The combined wealth of the West can not save Africa.

Only Africa can save Africa. Only when Africans come to realize their only hope is to pull themselves together, shape-up, and join the modern world, will they even have a chance of succeeding.

Until then, Africa is lost.

Gonzales for the COURT? NO WAY!

Alberto Gonzales is completely unacceptable for the Supreme Court of the United States. Gonzales has voiced his support for Affirmative Action and Abortion Rights, which are both anathema to the Right. If President Bush wishes to alienate his right wing base then, that is certainly the way to do it!

Attorney General Gonzales is entirely too moderate to sit on a court already far too liberal as it is. The Conservatives have a chance to own the court with a Conservative justice. And that is what we want. We will accept nothing else. If a liberal, or a moderate, nominee is thrust upon us, we will retaliate first in the Senate, and if necessary, at the polls. Not to mention we will tie up the Senate, by voting against Gonzales, as a way to bring this nomination to a screeching halt.

There is entirely too much riding on the President’s nomination of a Conservative to allow anything to get in the way. The so-called consultations, by Senators, with the President, are total nonsense. Not to mention the fact that they are extra-constitutional. There has been too much meddling, as it is, in the nomination process and it is time for the Democrats to butt out!
The choosing of a nominee to the Supreme Court is left entirely up to the President. Fact is, the nominee does not even have to be a lawyer!

The Right is itching for a battle so we will have an excuse to exercise the “Constitutional Option” known by the Liberals as the “Nuclear Option”. The Right would like to return the Senate to the constitutional requirements of a majority vote on the nomination(s). It would appear that the Democrats are about to give us the opportunity to do just that.

Frankly, I’d like to see the President re-nominate Judge Bork and really blow the minds of the Democrats! That’s not about to happen, of course, but it is an intriguing thought, never the less.

The Supreme Court convenes, as always, on the first Monday in October. It is, indeed, doubtful that a nomination can be made, and make it’s way through the Judiciary Committee and the full Senate, by that date.

It looks as though it’s going to be a long, hot, summer!

The South MUST Fight Back!

I just read of the proposed lawsuit against the SCV, in Alabama, for placing a huge Confederate Battle Flag on a flagpole which elevates the flag above the tops of the surrounding trees so it can be clearly seen by northbound or southbound traffic on the nearby interstate highway.

That flagpole is on private property. Property owned by the SCV. The display of the flag itself is speech, protected by the First Amendment to the US Constitution.

I have about had my fill of those who cannot get “their fill” of trashing the South and those who continue to give life to the lies and distortions they spew about the South.

Rest assured, there at thousands more, just like me, quite possibly MILLIIONS more, who are just as perturbed by the actions of the so-called activists who are, by and large, ignorant of the history of the US and, in particular, the South. They have bought into the lies of revisionist history and are blinded by their own hatred and bigotry toward those of Southern birth and Southern sympathies.

It would be beneficial for them to understand that at some point the South will have had enough and the consequences can be biblical in their devastating proportions.

It has happened before. One has only to harken back to April of 1861 to remember what the consequences were as a result of the same sort of repression inflicted on the South then.

For those of you educated in public (Government) schools that date may have no meaning for you. In all likelihood, if you were taught anything of the so-called Civil War, you were taught the glorious North fought bravely to put down the “revolution” by the “slave-holding terrorists” of the South. Well, I’m here to tell you that is utter B.S.!

Look, there is a distinct difference between “my truth”, and “your truth” and “THE TRUTH”. “Ye shall know THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH shall make you FREE.” For those of you not from the “God fearing South”, that is a quote from the Bible, which is still sacrosanct in the South.

The South fought a war for Independence from the US. We lost.

For 140 years we have been rebuilding our beloved South. Not an easy task with US troops garrisoned thru out the South. Much as the Romans did to their conquered peoples, the US placed military installation after military installation, garrisoned with US troops, in nearly every Southern state to insure the South would remain under it’s thumb. We Southerners were considered too volatile to be left to our own devices. To bring home their point several more years of so-called “Reconstruction” followed which, in many cases, caused more damage to the South, and her people, than the actual shooting war.

We Southerners have had to suffer the indignity of being a “conquered people” and the embarrassment of living in an “occupied country” for 140 years. We have fought daily battles to maintain our identity and we doggedly refuse to go away. We are a continuous “thorn in the flesh” of the arrogant purveyors of the lies of Political Correctness about our history and our ancestors.

We have had enough… and we are nearing an historical point at which we will begin to fight back. Our barely harnessed anger is seething just below the surface.

Many of us are ready to make a stand… “this far and no farther”.

As a proud member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans I call upon our leadership to take whatever legal steps may be necessary to support the “Sons” in Alabama and throughout the nation. It is time to fight back.

I had the great good fortune to be able to attend the “Constitutional Convention” in Concord, North Carolina, in April of this year. I went because I am tired of being pushed and humiliated by the empty-headed hate mongers who continually trash the South. I had hoped to see a resurrected organization, geared up and ready to fight, come out of that Convention. Granted it has only been three months, or so, but I have yet to sense the ”fire in the belly” necessary to take the fight to the enemy.

It is time to meet our enemies, on our terms, at places of our choosing, and turn back this flood.

Each year, I stand in graveyard after graveyard, before crowds of varying sizes, and sing the praises of our Confederate Ancestors who saw their duty and did it, even at the cost of their lives. Often, unbidden tears moisten my eyes as I remember the sacrifices and the terrible costs the men lying beneath me made and paid. The soft murmur of the Southern breeze, in the uppermost boughs of the inevitable Southern pines encircling the lonely rows of gravestones, adds melancholy to the ceremony. Then, I leave the cemetery unfulfilled. There is something missing. I think often of what those men, I just stood over, and lauded, would think if they could rise from their resting places and see what we have done, or not done, to further the cause for which they fought. I can only conclude they would be disappointed in us, their heirs. And it hurts.

It is time, gentlemen, it is time, for Southerners to do honor to the Confederate blood flowing in our veins and say: “no more!” Here is where it ends! We will right the wrongs done to the South.

When we do that, then I can leave those cemeteries with my head held high in the knowledge that we have not let those heroes of the Southland down… that we have been true to our heritage. Then, and only then, we will be Southerners in the true sense of the word… and not in name only.

Let us vow, to not allow another anti-Southern incident to go unchallenged.

As the Israelis say: “Never again!”

The Battle We've Been Waiting For!

If you think the new Supreme Court Justice nominee, whoever it might be, will be a shoo-in, you have another "think" coming. The battle lines are drawn already.

This is going to be a knockdown, drag out! The Democrats will, I repeat, will filibuster and try to stop the full Senate from approving the nominee. They need no other reason than their “gut hatred” for President Bush.

The Democrats’ hatred for this President is visceral. They will do anything, and everything, in their power to “contain” President Bush… no matter the damage done to the country. That alone tells you all you need to know about the Democrat party. Remember, now, this is the party of tolerance, of peace, and love, and compassion, etc., etc.

It’s utter B.S.! (Bovine Scatology!)

President Bush will, in all likelihood, nominate a conservative candidate to fill the vacancy left by O’Connor. The fact that he, or she, is “conservative” will be enough for the Democrats to claim “extraordinary circumstances” and begin the filibuster. Then the Republicans will have to bring the hammer down with the “Nuclear Option” (or the “Constitutional Option” as it should be known). The Democrats will counter by stopping the Senate in its tracks. Or, as some refer to it: “Shutting down the government”.

“Shutting down the government” will suit me just fine! The only time I feel completely safe is when Congress is in recess, anyway!

This is a fight, in the making, since the election of 2000. This is what the elections in 2000, and 2004, were all about… control of the Supreme Court.

Lets face it. The Supreme Court has become the legislative branch of the US government. They can, and do, amend the constitution, at will, as they recently did with the “takings clause” of the 5th amendment. It stands to reason, the party controlling the Supreme Court, controls the government... and the country. It is just as simple as that.

So, the upcoming battle is about who will control the United States. Nothing else. If you think there is any other reason, you are fooling yourself. We are about to see a gigantic “power play” rolled out right in front of our eyes.

I cannot predict a winner in the forthcoming battle. The Democrats are so predictably juvenile in their actions, and so driven by hatred, as to be pathetic. The Republicans have yet to learn how to apply, and wield, power in the Senate. And then, there are the “Moderates”…they of the “yellow streak”. Those who will not, or cannot, take a stand on their convictions. They can, and very well may, completely destroy the efforts of both sides and force a consensus. I would remind you… “Consensus is not leadership!” (Lady Margaret Thatcher)

So, we have a royal mess staring us in the face over the next few weeks and months. This will be a political battle of monumental proportions.

I can only hope the Conservatives win. But I wouldn’t bet on it. If the Democrats win, well, we all lose!

The War in Iraq is Lost...REALLY?

OK, so the war in Iraq is lost. The US has lost again and will come home with our collective tails between our legs. Our losses have been unacceptable, etc., etc.

If you read, and listen, and view, the American Mainstream Media you will believe the statements above. If, however, you talk to service men, and women, who have been on the front lines in Iraq, you get a different story.

Why do you suppose that is?

The American media is anti-war, anti-military, and to put it bluntly, they sometimes seem anti-American! The Mainstream media, in the US, is largely controlled by the political Left and, as such, is bound to play down any successes the US has in the theatre of war... no matter the reasons for that war.

Much, if not most, of the media have never worn the uniform of any of America’s military branches. They haven’t the foggiest idea what war is all about, and certainly not how to wage a war. But, they are experts at telling the world what is wrong with America’s war effort and how badly America is losing and what a “quagmire” the US military has gotten itself into while they would not know a “military quagmire” if it bit them on the butt! Besides, a quagmire to them is defined by the US Military’s inability to invade, conquer, and withdraw in three weeks, tops!

Now, don’t misunderstand. The US is quite capable of beginning, and winning, a war in three weeks. However, we would have to tap our reserves of those dread “weapons of mass destruction” in order to do it, and frankly that gets a little messy. Plus, the MSM would have apoplexy if we even used a simple little battlefield nuke!

Their constant carping and complaining has begun to affect the morale of the troops. They have stepped over that invisible barrier between reporting factual news and have come very close to giving aid and comfort to the enemy. We used to call that sedition.

Freedom of the press is a privilege, a constitutional right, in America. But with that freedom comes responsibility. It is quite clear the MSM has no concept of their responsibility to America. It is enough that America has granted them the “right” of “freedom of the press”. They willingly use that right, irresponsibly, and assume the predictability of a loose cannon.

It is very difficult to believe the MSM is not deliberately misreporting the facts on the ground in Iraq.

I have spoken to servicemen, just returned from a tour of duty in Iraq, and they tell me they have access to US network and cable news in Iraq. They told me they couldn’t believe the reports they saw on the television news. One soldier said to me, it was as if they (American troops) were fighting one war and the press was reporting on another war… somewhere, other than in Iraq.

Abuses such as these are going to cost the MSM in the long run. Unfortunately, it can only lead to a loss of the freedom they say they value so much, but abuse so willingly. Sooner, or later, the country will tire of their continuous efforts at denigrating this wonderful country and their first amendment rights will, sadly, be curtailed.

It is a shame to see a great institution collapse inwards, upon itself, as the MSM is doing. But, there will be a reckoning, and not that far in the future.

There are many more sources of news available to the public now than ever before in history. No longer are consumers of news tied to a newspaper, or a certain TV network, or a cable network. With a click of the “mouse” the world’s news media is at your disposal. Many, like myself, are availing themselves of it.We get our news, often unfiltered through the lenses of the MSM, and we are better informed for it.

The MSM is about to get their “comeuppance”. The sooner, the better... unfortunately!
