As you read these words, more than 30 million Islamist men are dreaming up ways to murder you and your children.
Don't you think it's about time we rolled up our sleeves to destroy them as quickly and decisively as possible?
Obama blatantly telegraphed his plan for class-warfare more than 3 years ago--notice how he defends raising tax rates on the wealthy WHILE AGREEING with the premise that it would reduce revenues...So it's the PRINCIPLE of punishing success that appeals to him:
I noticed that a lot of people were impressed by the great Herman Cain's answer to a question about health care and his own struggle against cancer in tonight's debate. But if this short vid from Mr. Cain doesn't by-gawd stir your soul, you haven't got one:
I didn't blog about the Weiner scandal here, but at Ace of Spades I pointed out early why it was so important to use this scandal to bludgeon the Dems with this awaaaayyyyy back on May 31--here was a longish post to Ace (comment #61):
ACE WUZ RIGHT!!
These Beltway Repubs have been so castrated over the years, they've forgotten how to destroy real enemies of America. And why it is...A GOOD THING.
A little math:
1) There are ~195 Democrats in the US House.
2) There are ~45 House Dems who made made the ADA's "Heroes" list in 2010.
3) There are less than 10 House Dems who are "Golden Boys" who are being sought out for much higher office, and shoved UP the ladder, and who's over-the-top partisan mouth-running gives all true-red Democrats, uhhhh...bulging underpants?
4) There is only 1 Golden Boy who is married to a notorious Rodham girlfraaayyynd, and who's fine/loyal services as a reverse beard are exactly WHY he is such a favorite. This scandal has the powder to blow Weiner AND RODHAM'S careers to smithereens! (Also is why "Mrs. Weiner" will never denounce him--she NEEDS him for cover!)
People, THIS IS A BIG FISH ACE HAS HOOKED!! WTF is the matter with these smart, eloquent, anesthetized conservatives??!! We need to be gaffing and blugeoning and slashing that m@therf@cker until it is senseless, red, and dead, dead, DEAD!! Once this fish is massacred, it will send a message to all future Weiners that there is a COST to being a vicious lefty partisan. As there MUST be.
The New York Post needs to get its collective head out of its collective @ss and release the hounds of scandal!! And the House Repubs need to immediately file ethics charges against Member Weiner: if it was against the honor of the House for Newt Gingrich to teach some college course, how the f@ck does Weiner get a pass by publishing photos of his privates?! A married man to a college girl??!! As Rush put it today, Larry Craig got drummed out for tapping his foot in a restroom, fahcrissake.
I've had a hard time understanding my unease, perhaps dread, at this 10th anniversary of 9/11. Although our intelligence agencies and military have performed heroically since then, to the point of essentially atomizing AlQaeda and killing Bin Laden, our country...our society...hell, our CIVILIZATION has never been weaker or more compromised versus The Jihad. This conviction was crystallized this morning, as I watched the NYC proceedings begin with the disgraceful Mike Bloomberg. In a healthy society, one that had learned its lessons from 9/11, the Mayor of the main target city would never have even considered accepting a victory mosque at Ground Zero...or if he had, the indignant citizens would have righteously tarred and feathered him, and impeached him.
I guess the main problem we have is that our leadership has dealt tactically with the problem of jihad, as opposed to strategically. And our tactical responses have further been compromised by idiotic alliances and delusions pursued in the Moslem world. I've seen some very smart people today basically cheerleading the fact that AQ is all but gone, as if they consider it irrelevant that The Jihad has gained control of two of the largest Middle East countries in the past 10 years (Turkey and Egypt), PLUS Lebanon, PLUS Gaza, PLUS Tunisia, and is on the verge of seizing oil-rich Libya. If this is victory, I'd hate to see "losing ground."
I was all set to analyze this in some depth, but the phenomenal Caroline Glick has just done such a masterful job on this very topic that there's really no point in trying to add to it. Take it away, Dr. Glick!
It will happen in that day that the Lord will set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant that is left of his people from Assyria, from Egypt, from Pathros, from Cush, from Elam, from Shinar, from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea. He will set up a banner for the nations, and will assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
The Odyssey by Homer, Chapter 21:
For long Odysseus stood with the bow in his hands, handling it as a minstrel handles a lyre when he stretches a cord or tightens a peg. Then he bent the great bow; he bent it without an effort, and at his touch the bow-string made a sound that was like the cry of a swallow. The wooers seeing him bend that mighty bow felt, every man of them, a sharp pain at the heart. They saw Odysseus take up an arrow and fit it to the string. He held the notch, and he drew the string, and he shot the bronze-weighted arrow straight through the holes in the back of the axe-heads.
Then as Eumæus took
up the axes, and brought them outside, he said, ‘Thou seest, lord Telemachus, that thy guest does not shame thee through foolish boasting. I have bent the bow of Odysseus, and I have shot the arrow aright. But now it is time to provide the feast for the lords who woo thy lady mother. While it is yet light, the feast must be served to them, and with the feast they must have music and the dance.’
Saying this he nodded to Telemachus, bending his terrible brows. Telemachus instantly girt his sword upon him and took his spear in his hand. Outside was heard the thunder of Zeus. And now Odysseus had stripped his rags from him and was standing upright, looking a master of men. The mighty bow was in his hands, and at his feet were scattered many bronze-weighted arrows.
