Speaking of war so easily

“Why is the U.S. government so against our people?” “They speak of war so easily, as if it’s on their daily agenda. We never speak of war.”
-Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, speaking through a translator, in an interview with NBC News.

“Those who benefit from the pope’s comments and drive their own arrogant policies should be targeted with attacks and protests”
Ahmadinejad's boss, Iran's "supreme leader" Ayatollah Ali Khamenei (from LGF)

Khamenei is urging attacks against the US while Ahmadinejad claims to "never speak of war." Anyone applauding Ahmadinejad's UN speech can be checked off on the enemy list. Can he be allowed to speak such lies when it is clear what that Iran's oil money is funding Hezbollah and Hamas? This post feels redundant...

Gore: "elimination of all payroll taxes" for a pollution tax

"For the last fourteen years, I have advocated and advocate today the elimination of all payroll taxes - including those for social security and unemployment compensation — and the replacement of that revenue with pollution taxes — principally on CO2. The overall level of taxation would remain exactly the same. It would be, in other words, a revenue neutral tax swap. But, instead of discouraging businesses from hiring more employees, it would discourage business from producing more pollution. A good swap."

—Vice President Gore speaking yesterday at New York University
(hat tip, NY Sun)

This is the first time I've ever heard of such a proposal, but I would welcome such an offer with open-arms. It is also becoming clear that Mr. Gore is running for president.

New York is Alive

From 9/11 - Five Years Later

A tough stretch for the MSM

Wow…

• Reutersgate (here, here, and here)
• Plamegate (here, here, and here)
• Path to 9/11 movie (here, here, here, here, here and here)


I have said it a million times, and I must say it again. Getting away with a lie in the Internet age is getting harder and harder. The more obvious it becomes that the entrenched media has its own bias (left bias) and is willing to lie and threaten people to cover them up, the more they are digging their own grave. Give the the liars a microphone.

Twisted Sisters/Twisted Reactions - Mahmoud Ahmednejad and Mel Gibson

There are interesting similarities between sadistic, mystical, and racist actor Mel Gibson and the masochistic, mystical, and racist President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmednejad. Both incite some sort of grand Jewish conspiracy against the world.

Their language is essentially the same; however the real threat they possess is quite different. Mel Gibson attacks Jews in drunken epithets and in stupid movies with lots of blood-letting. Ahmednejad attacks Jews by funding terror and proxy wars against the State of Israel.

Yet the press saved their outrage for the ultimately impotent Gibson; meanwhile, with Iranian missiles raining down on Haifa, Mike Wallace was in Tehran to offer the west a sympathetic view of Ahmednejad.

Gibson is a fool but he is his own worst enemy in the free world. Ahmednejad, on the other hand, not only states clearly his desire to destroy Israel, he actively funds its destruction.

Who has the guts to call a spade a spade here?

When is it time to go?

If you have people marching in US streets openly declaring allegiance to the head of a terrorist group who seeks the destruction of the Little and Great Satans, do we have a right to revoke their citizenship and get them out of our shores? Isn't this beyond speech and an open committal of treason?

Why are they here to begin with? The answer is likely the green card lottery, which has to be replaced with a more open immigration system (but with a strict interview process and selection criteria). We should never turn away someone willing to respect individual rights - but if you are bringing in people who swear allegiance to terrorists, than you have forfeited the right to exist in freedom.

Daily protests occur in Dearborn. At one recent demonstration, organized by the Congress of Arab-Americans, about 1,000 people attended. College-age men asked, in call and response fashion, "Who is your army?" Protestors responded: "Hezbollah." "Who is your leader?" they were asked. "Nasrallah," the chanters responded. Many carried placards of the Hezbollah leader. A few days earlier at an even larger demonstration, more than 15,000 turned out, about half of Dearborn's Arab community.

Those who regularly attend the demonstrations tend to be the most strident.

"Oh, Jews, remember Khaibar," the marchers chant. "The army of the Prophet will return."

The line is a reference to Khaibar, a Jewish town north of Medina that, according to Islamic tradition, was overtaken by the Prophet Muhammad in the seventh century. Once defeated, the surviving Jews of Khaibar were forced into serfdom. Two decades later, they were expelled from the Arabian peninsula.
