Saddam Hussein No Longer Hanging Around

The Murdering Tyrant has been sent to his Just Reward, and it's too bad that cameras won't be on hand, in Hell, when he arrives, to record the look on his face. ;-D

Get your ROUNDUP from Pajamas Media, as well as Gateway Pundit.

Both are stuffed to the gills with links that I hope people will discover, and explore.

Getting rid of this Butcher WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO.

So! How was your Christmas?

I spent the day trying to make my 1st YouTube Video. ;-D

My "Christmas" was Saturday morning at my Sisters house having breakfast, and opening gifts, since the Sisters both would be making the rounds of their hubby's relatives the rest of the day, Sunday, and Monday. ;-D

The highlight was the utter horrified panic, freakout, my soon to be 2 year old nephew had when he thought his Mom was going to throw in the trash the 2 huge trucks that had suddenly become his two most favorite toys. ;-D

As his eyes got big, and his face got redder than a tomato, he screamed, and cried his horrified, and confused, little heart out for almost 10 minutes before we could calm him down, and sort out the misunderstanding.

My Sisters, and I, tried to remember if we had had such moments when we were that age, and were stumped. ;-D

But back to me, and my day.

Sunday evening, and most of Monday, I tried for hours to tape myself reading a poem,and failing, before finally getting it right.... sort of.

While it is just a bit too dark, and works fine on Windows Media Player, it was a disaster when converted to YouTube, and so stays private there.

Before this my only attempt was a 30 sec. video of my cat shared among friends.

I am still proud of myself.

Doing what I did was a major accomplishment, and is a confidence builder for future efforts, including possibly taking on the challenge of a Podcast.

Making a video, especially alone, even a 3 minute one, can be intimidating to someone who has never done it before. ;-D

Arab-American Reads Riot Act to Radical Muslim Cleric

WOW!

Absolutely Glorious!

FINALLY... An Arab-American ( Or Arab, or Muslim, even. ) with the massive Balls to courageously speak truth in the face of the enemy, and in their own language.

This video should be shown to Arab-American leaders, and to Muslim leaders around the world, and they should be asked, on the record, if they agree with this woman, or not, and to explain why.

Their answer, or refusal to give one, will speak volumes.

Watch this video, and spread the word.

Christmas in the Trenches

A year ago I wrote the following poem as a tribute to the Troops:

A Visit to Baghdad.

I came across a fellow member of Stumble Upon, yesterday, who also is a writer, and so much more, and a rather lengthy post of his deserves a mention in this post, and also deserves to be read by anyone interested in the history of Warfare:

"It is thought possible that the enemy may
be contemplating an attack during
Xmas or New Year.
Special vigilance will be maintained
during these periods."

From General Headquarters at St. Omer - to all units
24 December 1914.

John Fenzel shares 2 lengthy items, and some tidbits, and links of interest, including to an interview with the author of the 2nd piece below:

1. A letter from an unknown British soldier that records events and incidents with the Germans..."The Christmas Truce," describing "the most memorable Christmas I've ever spent."

2. The Christmas Truce by Henry Williamson.

Spend some time this coming week reading, and listening to, this fascinating material.

I have no doubt that the soldiers seen in the photo above are not the 1st to have ever rode a Bicycle on, or near, the front lines of war, and won't be the last.

Whether serious, or in jest, the notion of the Bicycle being pedaled off to war brings a smile to my face. [ Re-imagine, if you will, The Charge of the Light Brigade, with the poor, brave, sods riding Mountain Bikes!  On 2nd thought, maybe not.... ;-D ]

As you celebrate Christmas, this weekend, remember those who have served in our military in the past, and think good thoughts for those who are serving it today.

I was also sent the following, this afternoon, by friend, and frequent commentor Jaspar, who had found some related material:

The Christmas Truce - 1914

On Christmas Day, 1914, in the first year of World
War I, German, British, and French soldiers
disobeyed their superiors and fraternized with "the
enemy" along two-thirds of the Western Front. German
troops held Christmas trees up out of the trenches
with signs, "Merry Christmas." "You no shoot, we no
shoot."

Thousands of troops streamed across a no-man's
land strewn with rotting corpses. They sang Christmas
carols, exchanged photographs of loved ones back home,
shared rations, played football, even roasted some
pigs.

Soldiers embraced men they had been trying to kill
a few short hours before. They agreed to warn each
other if the top brass forced them to fire their
weapons, and to aim high.

A shudder ran through the high command on either
side. Here was disaster in the making: soldiers
declaring their brotherhood with each other and
refusing to fight.

Generals on both sides declared this spontaneous
peacemaking to be treasonous and subject to court
martial.

By March, 1915 the fraternization movement had been
eradicated and the killing machine put back in full
operation. By the time of the armistice in 1918,
fifteen million would be slaughtered.

Not many people have heard the story of the
Christmas Truce. Military leaders have not gone out
of their way to publicize it.

On Christmas Day, 1988, a story in the Boston Globe
mentioned that a local FM radio host played "Christmas
in the Trenches," a ballad about the
Christmas Truce, several times and was startled by the
effect. The song became the most requested recording
during the holidays in Boston on several FM stations.

"Even more startling than the number of requests I
get is the reaction to the ballad afterward by callers
who hadn't heard it before," said the radiohost. "They
telephone me deeply moved, sometimes in tears, asking,
`What the hell did I just hear?'"

I think I know why the callers were in tears. The
Christmas Truce story goes against most of what we
have been taught about people. It gives us a glimpse
of the world as we wish it could be and says, "This
really happened once." It reminds us of those thoughts
we keep hidden away, out of range of the TV and
newspaper stories that tell us how trivial and mean
human life is. It is like hearing that our deepest
wishes really are true: the world really could be
different.

ALONE: A poem

ALONE


In the morning I will awaken, I will walk
In the clinging fog; myself
Will look about, and not see another,
Alone in the park, and break
The silence with breath and footsteps;
I will enjoy the grass and the trees
Seeing what is to see, and hearing what I can not
In the shadows of the dawn; and myself
With hands in my coat pockets,
Will smile in contentment, and
Plan for the day that will be.

Prof Tosses Racial Slur at Anti-illegals Event Participant

It seems a person of color, in a position of prominance on a college campus can call someone a "White Shitbag" and keep his job.

Anyone doubt that if he were white and had called a student a black or brown shitbag, that he would be fired, and vilified in print, and on the air, by every big name on the Left, even if he apologized ( And Apologized, And Apologized... )?

First, the report tells us that Prof. Streamas "insists that he did not utter the phrase as an expression of racism, in part, because he argues that a person of color cannot be racist, by definition, because racism also defines a power differential that is not usually present when a person or color is speaking." Yeah, right. He and others are redefining the term "racism" in a way that's pretty far removed from its normal meaning -- which is racial hostility -- so as to give themselves a rhetorical break from the rules they're imposing on others. And on top of that, he's applying even his revised definition in a disingenuous way: Whatever may be "usually" so, there surely is a "power differential" between a professor of whatever race and a student of whatever race.

Second, "In reply to a [university Center for Human Rights] request for a meeting, [Prof. Streamas] left an unsolicited voicemail message, which stated, in relevant part,"

The fence was a racist attack upon us. And ... I think that we need to talk about that .... Whatever I said to one person is not equal to whatever that fence did to hundreds of people, attacking us personally and communally.... Many, many people have been hurt. I don't care about the hurt feelings of one white person; I care about the hurt feelings of many, many people of color and immigrants who were offended by that fence....

Well, yes, the two are not equal. The fence and the demonstration related to it is an attempt to participate in a debate about illegal immigration. Some might think that the attempts to stem illegal immigration are inherently racist; others might not; but what's important for a university is that illegal immigration and the responses to it are a substantive issue that requires substantive discussion.

That people are "offended" by the discussion, or by the symbols of the discussion, is no reason not to have the discussion.

From reading the Campus Newspaper coverage it appears that opponents of the College Republicans stance on the issue would prefer that they either be "Sensitive" to others concerns in expressing their views in a public way, and possibly do it in a Forum only, or shut up entirely.

Don't want to offend Illegals, or Hispanics, in general, afterall.

Don't talk to me about "building bridges" when you would not have a problem with campus groups in support of Illegal Immigration having a table at a campus event, with a mural showing "poor, desperate Mexican parents", 4 kids in tow, sneaking across a border bridge in the middle of the night with the help of some human cargo traffiker, and call me racsist for taking issue.

If you truly want to understand what is at stake in the Immigration debate you can start by checking out the website in my Sidebar List:

YouTube - ZUCKER TAKES ON THE IRAQ STUDY GROUP

Absolutely Brilliant!

Absolutely Correct, too!

Funny, and scary, as well! ;-D

I finished reading the Report this afternoon, and this video captures my opinion of the Surrender Brigade, and its 79 Suggestions, perfectly.

I'll have more thoughts on the Report soon.

Mad Macedonian Chosen Time Person of the Year

I had to share the honor, though. ;-D

Look at 2006 through a different lens and you'll see another story, one that isn't about conflict or great men. It's a story about community and collaboration on a scale never seen before. It's about the cosmic compendium of knowledge Wikipedia and the million-channel people's network YouTube and the online metropolis MySpace. It's about the many wresting power from the few and helping one another for nothing and how that will not only change the world, but also change the way the world changes.

The tool that makes this possible is the World Wide Web.

This honor means a lot to me, and I am thrilled to receive it.

At the tail end of the last century I took a huge, and long over due, step toward changing my life for the better by buying a computer, going online, and joining  the original Time Online Community of Message Boards ( Pathfinder, if I remember correctly. ) that once thrived on the website of the magazine.

I met people there, online, and in person, who brought me out of a lifelong shell of loneliness.

They gave me the courage to express myself, with opinions, and creative writing, and to travel by airplane halfway across the country for two 4 day weekends.

I still hang out online with a very select few of those folks, including 1 who changed my life, yet again, by persuading me to join the Blogosphere, in the Spring of 2002.

They gave me the courage to change careers, and offered support as I moved to Orange County.

I now have 2 Blogs ( The other one is here, and was opened in January 2003. ), and the best paying job of my life, and an outlook on life that I did not have all those years ago.

The Internet has had a similar effect on the lives of millions of people all around the world, in free countries, and those not so free.

We share our interests, lives, and opinions, and discover all the world has to offer without always having to rely on the Mainstream Media to bring it to our attention, and explain it to us.

We communicate on a daily basis with more people, from more places, all around the world, than we could have once dreamed of, and our lives, and the world, are better for it.

For the 1st time in years I'll be buying, and reading, a copy of Time Magazine, in order to see what it has to say about something. ;-D

***UPDATE - 945AM***

A friend commented this morning:

I remember an ad for small paper cups that said, "Your name on each cup FREE (if your name is Dixie)."

After sleeping off the, um, celebration, and thinking about it in the light of day....

I believe the folks at Time wimped out.

They SHOULD have chosen President Ahmadinejad of Iran.

If Hitler was worthy, why not him?

The world needs to be awakened to the danger we all face.

The Future of Germany is in Doubt

You think I'm being alarmist?

The Right-wing German Radicals, and Radical Muslims, are on the loose in that country, plain, and simple, just as Radical Muslims are on the loose throughout Europe.

Right-wing adolescents, and young Muslims, are displaying levels of anti-Semitism that were long considered unthinkable in Germany. At many German schools, the word "Jew" is becoming an insult again. German politicians don't seem to know how to respond.

Let me repeat that last sentence...

GERMAN POLITICIANS DON'T SEEM TO KNOW HOW TO RESOND.

The reporters for Der Spiegel are just getting warmed up, and you owe it to yourself to read the whole, very disturbing, story.

Is the West too Paralyzed to Defend Itself?

Leave it to Thomas Sowell to state the obvious, and ask the tough questions that the Left doesn't want us to ask, and too many on the Right are afraid to ask for fear of being attacked by those they think they need to appease to stay in office, or to regain the Presidency, in 2008.

European nations protesting Saddam Hussein's death sentence, as they protested against forcing secrets out of captured terrorists, should tell us all we need to know about the internal degeneration of Western society, where so many confuse squeamishness with morality.

Two generations of being insulated from the reality of the international jungle, of not having to defend their own survival because they have been living under the protection of the American nuclear umbrella, have allowed too many Europeans to grow soft and indulge themselves in illusions about brutal realities and dangers.

The very means of their salvation have been demonized for decades in anti-nuclear movements and protesters calling themselves "antiwar." But there is a huge difference between being antiwar in words and being antiwar in deeds.

He's just getting warmed up, folks.

I particularly agree with THIS part:

Internal cohesion? Not only does much of today's generation in Western societies have a "do your own thing" attitude but defying rules and flouting authority are glorified and Balkanization through "multiculturalism" has become dogma.

Patriotism? Not only is patriotism disdained, the very basis for pride in one's country and culture is systematically undermined in our educational institutions at all levels. The achievements of Western civilization are buried in histories that portray every human sin found here as if they were peculiarities of the West.

This article was written a month ago, but its message should be spread far, and wide between now and Nov. 2008, or beyond, until people start coming to their senses, and pay the hell attention.

Read the whole thing: Where is the West?

The Truth about Santa Claus

How DOES he do it?

Is he STILL doing it?

There are approximately two billion children (persons under 18) in the world. However, since Santa does not visit children of Muslim, Hindu, Jewish or Buddhist (except maybe in Japan) religions, this reduces the workload for Christmas night to 15% of the total, or 378 million (according to the population reference bureau). At an average (cencus) rate of 3.5 children per household, that comes to 108 million homes, presuming there is at least one good child in each.

Santa has about 31 hours of Christmas to work with, thanks to the different time zones and the rotation of the earth, assuming east to west (which seems logical). This works out to 967.7 visits per second. This is to say that for each Christian household with a good child, Santa has around 1/1000th of a second to park his sleigh, hop out, jump down the chimney, fill the stocking, distribute the remaining presents under the tree, eat whatever snacks have been left for him, get back up the chimney, jump into the sleigh and get onto the next house.

Read on, if you dare, but if you read this to the 5 year old, yer on yer own!

Oh, don't panic, already, that analysis has long since been debunked.

The truth is that Santa works out in the off season and, being quite the Stud, jingles Mrs. Santa's bells 6 nights a week at midnight. ;-D

Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays to one and all!

A startling sentence to find in the middle of a piece that starts out as a story about Christmas isn't it?

Once Upon A Time When America Had Christmas

by Rabbi Aryeh Spero

It's December 2030, and I'm shopping with my grandson in a mall in northern Virginia. We've purchased a gift for a relative.

"Gift wrap?" inquired the clerk.

"Yes, thanks."

"Happy Chanukah, Merry Kwanzaa, or Ramadan Greetings?"

I frowned. The clerk whispered, "Listen, I think there may still be a few rolls of Christmas wrap in the back if you want..."

My grandson looked up at me and asked, "Why is the man whispering, Grandpa?"

If you think you know where this story is headed then you are mistaken.

READ IT!

NOW!

I'll wait.....

I'm not the most outwardly religious sort, but I believe I lead a life that is decent, honest, and responsible, without the need to trot off to Church every whipstich.

But as I look around me and see the state of our country due to the machinations of the Left, the ACLU, the PC Crowd,  the Multi-Culturalists, and the call for "Diversity" of only a certain, destructive kind, and Open Borders, as opposed to Assimilation, and Legal Immmigration with closed borders, I am finding myself afraid for the future of the United States, and Western Civilization.

As the Narrator says:

Words are only good if they lead to action, I thought. Nothing happens unless the people venture boldly into public debates and the streets and face down those who are trying to destroy them and put their heritage and children in harm's way. Where had the activists been? We were too fine to get out in the streets, too gentlemanly to call things the way they were, too preoccupied with appearing `compassionate' to stop the leftists and jihadists. Maybe our good-willed friends simply never realized that some of America's greatest foes were citizens within our own borders.

( NOTE: Link added by me on 12/10/06. )

I have been paying attention to the issues of Radical islam and Illegal Immigration, for years, and I have finally come to conclusion that I need to do more to spread the word about the dangers we face.

By reading, and recommending, the books in my piece this morning, and  by adding new links on these issues to my sidebar, I am starting to do so.

Miniscule readership be damned. Just because my audience is small does not mean that I should not step up, and speak my peace to all who will listen.

As Gribbet writes it is disturbing that "it seems as though many so-called Christians are NOT fighting to protect our own heritage."

The heritage of Western Civilization, in all its glory, and, yes, "Diversity", is in danger people.

Don't be intimidated into not fighting for it tooth, and nail.

Thoughts on Ahmadinejad Letter

Having read the letter by Iranian President Ahmadinejad more than once I have to shake my head in disbelief that there are folks out there in the West who actually believe that we can work with him, and that he, and his ilk, are not a clear, and present, danger to all we hold dear.

I want to finally share my thoughts on the piece.

The 1st thing that must be addressed is the opening "Prayer to God".

He has used similar words before, including in a delusional appearance at the UN, and his notion about Gods purpose for mankind is quite disturbing.

As BJ wrote, in a comment to my 1st post on the speech, in addressing a Moonbat who left a comment:

President Ahmadinejad is deeply committed to the Islamic Messiah, al Mahdi. He claims that he is to personally prepare the world for the coming Mahdi.

"As mayor of Tehran, for example, Mr. Ahmadinejad appears to have in 2004 secretly instructed the city council to build a grand avenue to prepare for the Mahdi. A year later, as president, he allocated $17 million for a blue-tiled mosque closely associated with mahdaviat in Jamkaran, south of the capital. He has instigated the building of a direct Tehran-Jamkaran railroad line. He had a list of his proposed cabinet members dropped into a well adjacent to the Jamkaran mosque, it is said, to benefit from its purported divine connection."

In Ahmadinejad's vision in order to save the world, it must be in a state of chaos and subjugation. Ahmadinejad claims he was “directed by Allah to pave the way for the glorious appearance of the Mahdi”. This apocalyptic directive includes some very scary proclamations.

He spoke to the United Nations in September ’05. During that speech he claims to have been in an aura of light and felt a change in the atmosphere during which time no one present could blink their eyes. Iran’s PM is also said to have spoken in apocalyptic terms and seems to relish conflict with the West whom he calls the Great Satan. This is while Ahmadinejad proclaims he must prepare the world for the coming Mahdi by way of a world totally under Muslim control. He is working hard to bring about the world-wide horrors that must be in place for their al Mahdi to bring peace, aka Armageddon.

These ideas and goals, along with a violent hatred of Non-Muslims, America, and Israel, do not bode well  for co-operation, and appeasement do they?

John Bolton Bolts UN. Should US Follow?

Have W.A.C.K.I.E., and H.U.A.P., won round 1 in the fight the Free World faces?

2 Blogs, 2 entries in the debate over John Bolton as Americas UN Ambassador:

Steve Frank, of California Political News writes:

The United States deserves the best representation at the United Nations. We need a UN ambassador that speaks for freedom and truth. One who will stand for reform and end the corruption of oil for food, nepotism, cover ups of rapes and massacres by UN troops.

That man is the current Ambassador, John Bolton. Yet the Democrats will not allow a vote, up and down on this man. The votes to approve are present. What they don’t want is the current strong voice at the UN, they want the whiny "Yes, America is always wrong, hit us again" voice.

He posts an article by Suzanne Fields that is blistering, and says among other things:

Our ambassadors to the United Nations have often been forced into isolation, to defend the United States from attacks by nations whose only contribution to the debate is insignificance, envy and hypocrisy. The likes of Adlai Stevenson, Jeane Kirkpatrick and Daniel Patrick Moynihan were powerfully eloquent defenders, and their rhetorical flourishes have recently found voice in John Bolton, whose recess appointment expires in January. President Bush has resubmitted the nomination, but despite what everyone says is his good job, he’s unlikely even to get an up-or-down vote in the new, kinder, gentler Democratic Senate.

If the senators were to re-examine his record in the spirit of what we’re told is the less partisan Democratic Congress, instead of preening with outdated cynicism, they could demonstrate that they mean what they say about eliminating cheap and thoughtless partisanship.

All this support from them, and the commentors to the post is seemingly for naught, now though....

Campaign 2008 Focus on W.A.C.K.I.E., and H.U.Y.A.M. by FWAP!!

Regular readers know that I've written about The War Against Terror, and about Illegal Immigration, over the years.

Well, I've just finished a week of preparing some long overdue changes to the links in my right sidebar, and am ready to move forward with more coverage of the 2 most dangerous threat to the future of not just America, but the world:

Illegal Immigration, and Radical Islam.

I've been doing a lot of reading, and will be doing more, and plan to tell you the names of all the books, and encourage you to read them as well.

Americans need to get their heads out of their Asses, and pay attention, or risk losing everything that is their culture, and their country.

Oh, and let me address the Liberal Asshats, Minions of W.A.C.K.I.E. ( World Allied Conspiratorial Kongress of Idiotarians Everywhere ), and members of H.U.Y.A.M. ( Head Up Your Ass Media )....

After something of a quiet year, as far as reports are concerned, FWAP!!  ( The Fighting W.a.c.k.i.e. All-over Project ) is gearing up for the next 2 years that will be the 2008 Election Season, and your attempts to brand me as a Racist, and a Hatemonger will only show how ignorant, and hateful YOU, and your Comrades, are, and how deeply entrenched you are in the bowels of the wrong side of these vital issues.

Comments, and E-mail are, as always, welcome, but beware, the Bouncer ( That's him in the left sidebar. ) will be strictly enforcing decorum. ;-D
