The Religion of Peace on display

All right all you Islam defenders, read this ridiculous story and then tell me Islam isn't a radical religion. Remember this is the Sudan, not Iran, or Saudi Arabia...

A British schoolteacher has been arrested in Sudan accused of insulting Islam's Prophet, after she allowed her pupils to name a teddy bear Muhammad.

Colleagues of Gillian Gibbons, 54, from Liverpool, said she made an "innocent mistake" by letting the six and seven-year-olds choose the name.

Ms Gibbons was arrested after several parents made complaints.

The BBC's correspondent Amber Henshaw said Ms Gibbons' punishment could be up to six months in jail, 40 lashes or a fine.

Seriously, how many women have to get stoned, gang-raped, beaten to within an inch of their lives, how many homosexuals have to be hung by the neck, how many violent riots, how much destruction, misery, and chaos in the name of defending Islam does there have to be before you admit that Islam is a radical religion that is incompatible with what educated, reasonable people recognize as fundamental human rights?

And I don't want to hear, "But Ed, these instances are isolated, not the norm. Islam is peaceful when practiced as it was intended"

Wrong you are! Where exactly is Islam practiced peacefully? Only one place...the U.S. But that's only because stoning, rape, and hanging are crimes regardless of their religious mandate. You wait, at some point an Islamic sect will petition for and be awarded, in the U.S., an Islamic sanctuary in which they can practice Sharia law regardless of it's lawlessness and cruelty.

No, these actions are not isolated individuals acting on their own. Each instance we hear about is the result of nation state embracing parts of the radical form of Islam as law, then acting accordingly. Whether it's stonings in Pakistan, honor-killings in India, rapes and hangings in Iran, lashing in Saudi Arabia, or incarceration and whipping in the Sudan, these are States enforcing radical Islam as law.

Religion of Peace.....that phrase rings a tad hollow to the girl in Saudi Arabia who received at the hands of the State, 200 lashes last week for having gotten raped.

The real objective behind the global warming hoax

The slimey group of degenerates, thugs, and leeches collectively known as the United Nations is taking an all-expenses-paid luxury vacation to Bali to discuss, over fruity drinks with umbrellas, the wholly imaginary global-warming crisis. All flying in one big jet to reduce their carbon emissions I would guess.....well, guess again...

(11/3/2007) Tempo Interaktif reports that Angkasa Pura - the management of Bali's Ngurah Rai International Airport are concerned that the large number of additional private charter flights expected in Bali during the UN Conference on Climate Change (UNFCCC) December 3-15, 2007, will exceed the carrying capacity of apron areas. To meet the added demand for aircraft storage officials are allocating "parking space" at other airports in Indonesia.

The hypocrisy of UN bureaucrats, and American politicians, knows no bounds. I'm sure the Goreacle will be on hand to bless the proceedings by sprinkling holy water collected from melting glaciers or some such idiocy. I wonder how many American families could exist for a year, and still not equal the carbon footprint of one flight in a Leer jet to Bali?

Q: Why is the US taxpayer the primary funding source for this repulsive club for America-haters? Answer: Because breathless panic over climate change is only the red herring for what's really happening. By alarming everybody about phony climate change, politicians in the US of both parties, are counting on the stupid American populace to clamor for rescue and for our government to save us from the global warming boogey-man. They know that once we are sufficiently alarmed about the looming crisis, no matter how imaginary, we will submit to any curtailing of our activities because after-all, it's for the greater good. We'll allow our government to curtail our consumption of goods and food, our travel habits, our waste, our spending, where we can go on vacation, the list goes on and on of the facets of our lives our government desires to control. Politicians always want to control more and more of your lives. It's the source of the political power to which they are addicted.

And the bigger picture is that the UN wants to control our government, which is in control of us. The UN wants the US to cede control of the internet over to it. The UN wants to tax the US for having a carbon footprint that is too big. The UN wants to have control over the US military to use as it's private meals-on-wheels unit to send to anywhere in the world they wish....meals funded entirely by the US taxpayer of course. The UN wants to have observatory rights over our elections to make sure they are "fair"---translated, to make sure a good UN-loving liberal like Hillary is President. The UN wants the US to ask permission from it whenever we need to defend ourselves, either pre-emptively or reactionarily.

You see, this whole global warming nonsense isn't about saving the planet. It's about controlling the lives of the little people, specifically the lives of American little people. Heaven help us if Hillary gets voted queen of America.

Australia takes a giant step backwards

It looks like the deranged enviro-moonbats have seized control of Australia as our friend John Howard loses the ministership to a wacky, labor-friendly leftist...

SYDNEY, Australia - Conservative Prime Minister John Howard suffered a humiliating defeat Saturday at the hands of the left-leaning opposition, whose leader has promised to immediately sign the Kyoto Protocol on global warming and withdraw Australia's combat troops from Iraq.

Labor Party head Kevin Rudd's pledges on global warming and Iraq move Australia sharply away from policies that had made Howard one of President Bush's staunchest allies.

Rudd has named global warming as his top priority, and his signing of the Kyoto Protocol will leave the U.S. as the only industrialized country not to have joined it.

Kyoto, besides being a complete farce, is a huge threat to free-market capitalism. Adhereing to it's idiotic policies will dramatically cripple Australia's manufacturing power by drastically restricting industrial carbon emissions to 17th century levels...all to avoid the imaginary menace of global warming. Of course developing countries like India and China will be exempt and are free to pollute to their heart's content.

Another part of Kyoto that the media intentionally omit from their breathless reporting about the ice caps and polar bears, is once a nation signs it, the protocol allows for punitive fines to be levied against offending countries...i.e. the U.S. and Australia.

The Kyoto Protocol allows the world to seize the wealth of countries like the U.S. and Australia while punishing us, the way our Congress seizes the wealth of the tobacco, fast-food, and alcohol industries. Rather than develop their own countries, they'll just steal from ours...or punish us trying.

It's a Friday version of Ann Coulter Thursday

This week Ann ridicules the New York Times for presenting the news as their very liberal editorial staff would like it to be. She also takes great pleasure in it's dwindling circulation. Normal Americans don't want their news spun and the Gray Lady is paying the price for ignoring that fact.

Go here and read the whole thing.

The Goreacle would be proud

OK, you want to see just how far off the deep end Al Gore's worshippers have gone?

Had Toni Vernelli gone ahead with her pregnancy ten years ago, she would know at first hand what it is like to cradle her own baby, to have a pair of innocent eyes gazing up at her with unconditional love, to feel a little hand slipping into hers - and a voice calling her Mummy.

But the very thought makes her shudder with horror.

Because when Toni terminated her pregnancy, she did so in the firm belief she was helping to save the planet.

Incredibly, so determined was she that the terrible "mistake" of pregnancy should never happen again, that she begged the doctor who performed the abortion to sterilise her at the same time.

He refused, but Toni - who works for an environmental charity - "relentlessly hunted down a doctor who would perform the irreversible surgery.

Finally, eight years ago, Toni got her way.

At the age of 27 this young woman at the height of her reproductive years was sterilised to "protect the planet".

"Having children is selfish. It's all about maintaining your genetic line at the expense of the planet," says Toni, 35.

"Every person who is born uses more food, more water, more land, more fossil fuels, more trees and produces more rubbish, more pollution, more greenhouse gases, and adds to the problem of over-population."

While most parents view their children as the ultimate miracle of nature, Toni seems to see them as a sinister threat to the future.

Apparently there's a whole movement of women in the UK who have sterilized themselves in order to reduce their carbon footprint. If only we could convince them all to stop having stupid eco-babies, we could finally be rid of them in a single generation.

My wife asked, only half jokingly, "Why doesn't she just kill herself? That'll really reduce her carbon footprint.".......I couldn't have summed it up any better myself.

New feature

I hope everybody had a nice Thanksgiving celebration with family and friends, and like me, are avoiding the Friday shopping madness like the black plague.

I just wanted to bring your attention to a new feature which you may have noticed in the lower right corner below the hit counter. It's a hit locator. It refreshes every few days or after a certain number of new hits. You can click on the world map and see whose reading this blog, and with whom you're debating in the comments thread. Kinda cool!

Happy Thanksgiving!

This will probably be the last post for a day or two. I hope everybody has a great holiday with family and friends. Be extra safe driving as there are idiots out there and smokies with radar guns too. I'll probably have some new stuff up on Friday but you people will miss it because you'll be at the mall shopping....better you than me.

Let the election-year fighting begin...

For once, Hillary's right about something...

SHENANDOAH, Iowa — Hillary Rodham Clinton ridiculed Democratic rival Barack Obama on Tuesday for his contention that living in a foreign country as a child helped give him a better understanding of the foreign policy challenges facing the U.S.

‘‘Voters will have to judge if living in a foreign country at the age of 10 prepares one to face the big, complex international challenges the next president will face,’’ Clinton said. ‘‘I think we need a president with more experience than that, someone the rest of the world knows, looks up to and has confidence in.’’

I think Hillary would make an abysmal President, but electing Obama would be like me being elected to fly the next shuttle mission.

What?

This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard...

President Bush and First Lady Laura Bush said Tuesday that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's experience as first lady has prepared her to handle the "pressure" of a presidential race and the White House...

That's almost as stupid as me saying my experience having my wisdom teeth removed has prepared me for a career in oral surgery. I think what we're seeing is lame-duck syndrome. The Bush's think that if they're magnanimous and nice to people here at the end, then history will judge his administration favorably, and maybe Hillary won't say nasty things about them during the campaign next year. I wouldn't hold my breath there W.

The devolution of France

The French people are showing the world what a disaster decades of loafing, degeneracy, and dependence will lead to...

FRANCE almost ground to a halt today as strikes by workers protesting against their President's plan to make them work harder and longer crippled the country's infrastructure.
Teachers, postal workers and other civil servants joined forces with protesting transport workers in strikes to challenge Nicolas Sarkozy's plans to reform the economy.

The French worker already only works 35 hours a week, gets weeks-long government paid vacations, and job security regardless of how shiftless and lazy he is as a worker. Sarkozy wants to bring his country back to the productive, competitive, world economic power France once was, but the French people are lazy and used to a care-free life of decadence and ease. They don't want to work harder or longer hours, take shorter vacations, or compete for job security the way Americans have to, and they resent being told so. And they are willing to cripple their country in order to protect their spoiled, self-indulgent life-styles.

The French workers, like many sniveling liberals here in the U.S., don't care that government-funded socialism is unsustainable over the long term and at some point, somebody's got to pay for it all. They want their slice of the free cake that somebody else paid for and nobody's going to deprive them of it. Look what France has devolved into, a sad second-rate country made of lazy degenerates crying for someone to provide for their needs...what a national embarrassment!
