When the government fears the people…

You know, as I’ve watched and read and listened to all the various outrage, pontification, justification and sometimes even downplaying of the increasingly fervent protests in Iran, vs. the regime’s increasingly violent tactics in suppressing them, I bemusedly have begun to wonder.  Sort of a compare and contrast kind of thing.
I look at the protestors [...]

The Domino Theory and Iran

In betwixt and between all the impassioned outcrys both from within and without Iran regarding their most recent “election,” I find that all the intensity and furor suddenly begs the question:
Why all of a sudden do we see such a fervor from the voting public in Iran?
More importantly, why are we HEARING about it, from [...]

Through inaction you give consent.

I am deeply disturbed and even embarrassed by Pres. Obama’s complete lack of any meaningful response to what is going on over in Iran right now.
As Americans, it has traditionally been our role to support the underdog.  Due to our own revolutionary history of throwing off the yoke of tyranny and demanding to govern ourselves [...]

O-ba-MA! O-ba-MA!

I just watched our illustrious President break it down Barney style for a bunch of Muslims over in Egypt  and, well, I almost got a tingle down my leg.  Not quite, but close.
I didn’t get to watch the whole thing, but what I did watch was almost, dare I say it, Presidential?!  I heard a lot [...]

All Your Businesses Are Belong to Us!

In case you missed it, the President of the United States asked for, and received, the resignation of the the CEO of a civilian corporation, in exchange for the promise of more “bailout” funds.
If I have to explain to you why this is bad….
As a matter of fact, just head on over to Gateway Pundit.  [...]

Peace Through Capitulation

Terror Group Leader Takes Control of Somalia- Obama Approves
Ask Britain how trying appeasement worked out with Hitler.  Ask the Israelis how appeasement worked out with Hamas, or the Syrians.  Ask the Marines how appeasement worked out in the initial stages of Fallujah.
All appeasement does is give your enemies more time to arm and equip.  Giving the [...]

A few thoughts on the all the Gaza “Peace” protests…

I’m sorry, but if you have a burning molotav cocktail in your hand, arm cocked back to throw, you have lost your status as “peaceful protestor” or even “activist” and moved right up into “combatant.”  And I will shoot you dead’r-n-shit.  Twice.
If you charge at me, bandana over your face, screaming unintelligible gibberish about allah [...]

It’s “Merry Christmas.” Deal with it.

Ya know, I was all set to pen some snarky post about how people just need to get over themselves, highlighting all the manner of mental flatulence surrounding peoples’ bizarre and over-compensating back-bending with regards to political correctness and not “offending” anyone with the grim specter of a baby in a manger.
But then I figured, screw [...]

Lego Jihad!

Apparently the Islamic world is all “up in arms”  (heh heh, pardon the pun) about the newest addition to the toy world…the SUICIDE BOMBER!

How disgusting.  How insensitive.  How stereotypical.  I can certainly see how the poor, misunderstood Muslims might take offense to such a deeply hurtful and obviously incorrect portrayal of their “freedom fighters.”
Although, I haven’t [...]

Shades of Minority Report?

Behavioral screening — the future of airport security?
Security experts say focus is shifting from analyzing the content of carry-ons to analyzing the content of passengers’ intentions and emotions. (my emphasis)
I guess the whole concept of throwing a guy in a room because he’s nervous strikes me as a strange proposition.
Once these technologies are in place, [...]
