The following is a Manifesto of opposition to Islamic Totalitarianism, copied from the Jyllands-Posten website.  Please read it and post it yourself if possible, join the effort if you can.  The Free World has three options facing it:  1) establish forcefully with peaceful means like public expression that we will not surrender our freedom, 2) […]

The news keeps coming from multiple sources that unless the developed world acts soon that the Palestinian Authority will very soon go bankrupt and sink the whole situation into chaos.  For those who might not follow the news that much, this is happening because for a time most governments cut off funding them because the […]

The War on Drugs has never been any such thing but has rather been a political tool used by politicians to get votes by seeming to stand for moral behavior.  It began with Nixon within my lifetime (though I was too young to remember it) and has continued ever since regardless of the pure simple […]

I often disagree with Sen. John McCain but he’s a hard man to pin down.  Sometimes he proposes things I strongly think are wrong, like supposed ‘campaign finance reform’ that is a clear example of what the First Ammendment was expressly created to prevent.  Then he comes out and says something like this :

"As for […]

The ministers of parliament and beaurocrats of the EU continue their relentless march towards absolute and unchecked power over all of Europe.  Without a single national government willing to stand up and forcefully reject the seizure of powers there is every reason for them to do so, and they are.   Take the recent action of […]

The recent Mohammed Cartoon riots worldwide were an expression of Muslim rage at a perceived insult to their religion, and at the time the Pope of all people came out and agreed with them and requested the press not to print them.  Many were upset at this gesture because it was entirely one sided and […]

I got an email from a soldier in Iraq who would prefer to remain anonymous.  Here with his permission is the body of the email he sent to me:
Keeping one ear down on my military side and the other ear down on my political side, I have some issues with the future. I am […]

I’m conflicted really.  Is it good that the UAE will be taking over all or parts of 6 US ports?  I can’t say that makes me happy.  Then again I’m not happy with any foreign corporations owning critical domestic US assetts.  But to be realistic the worry of infiltration by terrorist elements is the central […]

"Neo-whatism", I can imagine many readers thinking just now.  But that’s why you are here, and I’m here to help.  I’ll translate into standard non-deceptive english:  Neo-populism = Communism/Marxism.  Yeah I know, didn’t all that just die off after a long ugly attempt at life way back in the late 1980’s when The Wall came […]

Deep Keel is getting some upgrades which involve necessary downtime.  Some of the large ISP routers in this region were out for a while today so this seemed like a good time to do take the site down.  Most of it is done, though there may be a bit more downtime tomorrow.  Thanks for you […]

The Islamists have their strategy to bully the media and governments of the West perfected and operating well.  The latest clear example is after the recent remarks of Australia’s Prime Minister John Howard dared to speak the truth and call out the extremists and demand they change to fit into the rest of society, rather […]

Venezuela’s resident President for Life, Hugo Chavez, is clearly feeling his oats and getting just downright sassy.  I think he’s jealous of Condoleeza.  Probably those boots.  Here is the money quote (emphasis added):
Responding to remarks before the US Congress last week in which Rice called Chavez a "challenge to democracy" in Latin America, Chavez warned […]

The following photos come from Yahoo Photos. Head on over to see many more not highlighted here.
The following photo was taken on Feb. 18 in London.  Apparently ‘Muhammad’ created civil rights… who knew?  Apparently his version doesn’t include the right to question what he said or directed his followers to do, so his ‘civil rights’ […]

Michelle Malkin has a big roundup of Mohammed Cartoon opposition related material, including the link to a map marking where worldwide all these Muslim riots, murders, and protests have taken place.  It is interesting so I recommend clicking this link to take a look, and visit Michelle’s site as well for more interesting material.

Interest in seeing the cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed published by the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten back in late September 2005 continues because of the continuing protests around the Muslim world.  My original posting of the cartoons has now scrolled off the bottom of the front page of this blog so I thought I should post […]

One of the more under reported elements of the Bird Flu story has been the economic impact on the regions with reported infected bird stock.  Fear of the Bird Flu could cripple economies even if it doesn’t make the leap to a human-human spread disease if public information efforts do not succeed in convincing the […]

The principal problem facing our Iraq strategy is corruption and fear.  Corruption is endemic throughout the Third World and is the primary reason those nations stay that way.  Without fair enforcement of the laws it is not possible for a capitalist economy to grow and create wealth for all.  Corruption turns business into a tool […]

Its been over four years since September 11, 2001 when the US was suddenly attacked and suffered the type of blow that clearly lead the nation to Declare War that committed us to World War II.  We had more dead this time and they were civilians, innocent people just living their lives and working, not […]

A friend referred me to this posting on Craigslist and I decided it might be fodder for good discussion on education reform and issues.  Here is the full text of the post from the anonymous teacher (slightly reformatted):

The idea of socializing health care is supposedly gaining strength in the electorate here in the US.  It might help if citizens understood there is more to it than getting "free" health care.  Besides the fact that nothing in life is truly free, there are specific and worrisome problems with socialized health care.  There is […]

The election of Hamas to take control of the Palestinian legislature in the recent elections is a massive headache for diplomats in the West.  Looks like there may be a plan afoot to do something about it rather than wait for the rockets and suicide bombers to roll out of Gaza at a record clip.  […]

I don’t quite know what to think of the report I read today from the UK.  Though it is printed in a reputable publication, the description of the power grab working its way through Parliament even now is frightening.  Here is the key part from The Times (emphasis added):
The extraordinary Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill, […]

So the Bush Administration says they are going to get tough with China on its trading policies today.  Color me skeptical.  No domestic politician since Reagan has shown any interest in actually exercising proper oversight of our trading relationships.  I seriously doubt Bush is now.  But he seems to have gotten the memo that the […]

German newspaper Der Tagesspiegel decided to make and publish its own cartoon satirizing the Mohammed Cartoon Controversy, and is now under attack from abroad:
With the embers from the Danish cartoon dispute still burning, one Berlin newspaper appears to be on a suicide mission. On Friday, the Berlin daily Der Tagesspiegel ran a cartoon by Klaus […]

We get so little communication back from Iraqi’s, how they see our troops in Iraq, and how they see the mission and its results.  Here is one eloquent letter from a man with direct experience with our troops and their mission, and attesting to their character.  Much thanks to the Mudville Gazette for publishing this […]

After the hunting accident where Vice President Dick Cheney shot a fellow hunter, it is truly a shame to look forward and realize Dick isn’t running for office again.  The one liners and hooks would have livened up the lackluster campaign reports, and the jokes coming from the Late Night hosts would have caused many […]

I really ought not throw any stones at other governments across the globe because my home state of California is increasingly a case study in corruption and horribly misguided government.  The once golden dream of Californian life is not just dieing, it is in many cases being purposely killed by leaders with agendas of their […]

So this is the day.  Every career has an end, that moment when the past becomes the past and there is truly no going back.  Today is that day for former Vice President Al Gore.  VP Gore has in the few years since losing the 2000 election said a number of whoppers and shown more […]

The riots in France a few months ago highlighted the deep problems facing that  nation, and eventually all of Europe.  The government’s reaction to the rioting was feeble at best and deeply worrying for observers concerned with seeing such a prominent and powerful European nation seemingly spiraling out of control.  The French government and public […]
