Lisbon Treaty: Insult and kick in the gut

The heat is on for votes in Ireland both for and against the Treaty of Lisbon:

Lisbon logjam exposes hallowness of democracy *** give this one a look

Europe deserves much better than the Lisbon Treaty

EC faces legal challenge from anti-Lisbon campaigner

European Commission facing legal challenge from Green MEP

The vote is June 12th. The issues are complex but the Treaty of Lisbon is no readable document at all. One must cut/paste/and collate all by yourself to try to make heads or tails of the document. Reviewing it is like reviewing a document, 85% of which has been redacted only this time the words just aren't there so you can't even tell when sentences would have started or ended, much less identify what was in the middle.

The Treaty of Lisbon is the EU Constitution in disquise; it is unreadable; and frankly, asking any citizenry to vote on such horse-twaddle is insulting. Ah, but then the leaders really don't think very highly of the peasants, now do they?

Trolling for independent voters: Barry, Hillary, and John

To me, this is a strange election year. The independents and democrats "picked" the republican candidate: john mccain. The independents and the republicans with some help from democrats are helping the democrat primary move along a bit.

Arguably, the democrats are having "buyer's" remorse on their early annointing of the so-called messianic barry O. barry O, all by himself, sure put the guns and God issue on the table. Hardly a very kind jab at the non-Muslims in America.

And now, john is embarrassed by the republican conservative base and is working hard to kick them to the curb - only thing he has left to do is figuratively spit on them. He sure doesn't want their votes.

barry O. and really Hillary too are not far-left enough for the far-left "we're falling off the planet" activitists in the democrat party.

so - what does that leave us? Both presidential candidates will be fighting for the same folks - the independents. We know barry O will get all the votes the black Americans can scrape together - we are told that every time he has run in a state with a heavy black population. Like they don't have the ability to decide for themselves for whom they'll vote. The media is so insulting. We know john mccain likes to "work with folks across the aisle" - glad he's taking lindsey with him - and really doesn't want to be bothered with those conservatives.

But folks, there are not enough independents in the country for either candidate to "win."

Hillary (my goodness this is painful) is the least liberal of the bunch and that is saying a lot coming from me, and we know she's "cut-throat" so to speak. Plus she has to prove she has the anatomy to go up against the "enemy" if she'll be brave enough to name it. Really, now, aren't there times when Hill looks and sounds like she has the anatomy to drop the big one? She certainly would throw sand in the boys eyes in the playground and make 'em cry. Right?

This is a heck of a mess we are in. But it will pass one way or the other.

I'm reading Terry Reid's book Compromise and I have to tell ya, well, I won't speculate - there's enough rumor going around. Guess I'll just have to wait and see.

Hummm... Let's see: martial law, rationed gas, confiscated cars, food rationing, higher taxes, biometric chips implanted in our foreheads (they could scan them with the cameras at the stop lights), GPS tracking devices on legal citizens so that illegals won't be arrested by mistake, even more dollars printed to flood the market and devalue your property (whoops, the property you get to pay taxes on, sorry, forgot that pesky Kelo vs New London, Ct ruling for a minute), so many choices - all in the name of national security. What a catch-all excuse for invasion of privacy that one is: National Security where no one is secure except the illegals, they are the ones with the lawyers.

You know the litany better than I do. But this is a strange election year, don't you think? Really? Rush has a point: give it to the dhimmicats so they can take the hit like they did with dhimmi, dizzy, jimmy carter... Save mccain from himself? Or maybe not...

Islamic Jihad fought through the womb

Yassar Arafat once said something to the effect that the womb of the Muslim woman was the greatest weapon Islam had in its war to overthrow "Western Civilization." I am paraphrasing but that is essentially what he said. He, for once, spoke the truth.

The Opinionator has a great post that makes the threat we face clear, present, and permanent: The Population Jihad.

The goal is for each Muslim woman to have as many children as possible, producing not just children but Muslims born to and chained to Islam - No Way Out.

Then throw in a few laws about what happens when different cultures are competing for the same resources: food, shelter, etc. The numerically weaker side - although superior in technology - stands the risk of being over-run; it is a certainty if they will not do what is necessary to defend their culture, their mores, and their lives.

In Western societies, England comes to mind, the growing Muslim population - as I understand it - invades and takes over towns and then hops on the British welfare train so that the Brits not only get their towns closed off to them, they get to pay for the food, shelter, medical care, and education of the interlopers.

I'm sure the bitter irony is not lost on the average British working man and woman.

Ted Kennedy rests peacefully - ah, how nice!

When you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all, right? I have to think a priest is praying for Teddy and making sure his immortal soul is safe and sound with Heaven assured as it is to all who believe...

Having said that, let me direct you to an excellent post to remind you of the handiwork of the distinguished Senator from Mass.

Mary Jo Kopechne is still dead and Ted Kennedy is feeling better

My apologies to the family of Mary Jo Kopechne that this tragedy must once again make its way to the forefront of our thoughts but your daughter lost her life needlessly at the hands of a man - through cowardice or drunkenness - who has worked to undermine our nation for 45 years. For some of us, we are sickened that he has been in the Senate since the age of 30 and has done so much harm from that seat of power.

We remain saddened by your loss. For some of us, the abuse of your daughter, Mary Jo, represented the debauchery and decadence of the rich and powerful in our nation and our government who are never called to task for their misdeeds while the rest of us pay over and over and over again in more ways than we can even know...

God bless you, Mary Jo...

Paul Singer: Killing newborn babies, A-Okay?

Zen Tiger left a response to a post, linked here, that I didn't want to get lost. Here it is for you to consider and to consider how far we have de-volved, as Americans with our once honored view of the sanctity of life - all human life - that we would now have a professor teaching of a mother's right to kill her newborn baby (the one she missed out on aborting by having its brains sucked out of its tiny skull with its tiny heart still beating) in what some would have in yester-year considered a prestigious university, Princeton, if I am not mistaken. The same Princeton that gives us the angry Mrs. "First Lady In Waiting" Obama.

God help us, that is if He still looks our way...

You can look up the book for yourself, read and enjoy. In the one review I read, Mr. Singer is tauted as a forward-thinking philosopher. I wonder if he would have seen the humanity in the injecting of Terri Shiavo with a lethal drug instead of the state-sanctioned brutal murder that was carried out with not a drop of water being allowed to touch her lips as she was starved and dehydrated unto death. My God, the shame we have upon us...

From Zen Tiger at New Zealand Conservative:
~~~~~
Peter Singer writes in Rethinking Life and Death:

"Human babies are not born self-aware or grasping their lives over time. They are not persons. Hence their lives would seem to be no more worthy of protection than the life of a fetus."

This is the basis for his argument it is alright to kill newborn babies.

I think his defenders say his argument is much more nuanced than that. Whatever. His argument is that he draws a line, and the line is on self-awareness and an understanding of time. On that basis, you can murder many people, and certainly premature babies.

It's only one way of drawing a line, and when lines are drawn, the reasons and excuses come thick and fast. It's been relabeled as "new morality". Where's the morality in avoiding the word "murder"?

Robert Spencer - Banned in Pakistan!

For a look at Robert Spencer's office, see Robert's Office and see also the following link, CAIR rep Omer Subhani exposes Robert Spencer, Part III.

Well, it seems Mr. Spencer is in trouble AGAIN with his most recent book, The Truth about Muhammad: Founder of the World's Most Intolerant Religion.

Banned in Pakistan. Why? Like the thorough researcher that he is, Mr. Spencer goes to original sources and uses Muslim/Islamic approved and accepted texts as his sources for the "truth" about Muhammad. The "truth" hurts when it comes from the mouth of a Westerner. Eh?

In the synopsis here, we find:

In this startling new book, New York Times bestselling author Robert Spencer, provides a warts-and-all portrait of the Prophet of Islam and draws out what his life implies for reforming Islam and repulsing Islamic terrorists. Spencer relies solely on primary sources considered reliable by Muslims and evaluates modern biographies to show how Muhammad has been changed for Western audiences, lulling them into consoling but false conclusions.

It is true. Muhammad and Islam, for that matter, are brought to us from behind the mysterious "Dance of the Seven Veils", "Arabian Nights", and the mysteries of the middle east set to seduce us with allure and hidden fruit, secrets hidden behind carved lattice-work, scented oils, and perfumed air.

But into that seduction, the Islamic terrorist, using stealth or whatever means possible. brings hatred and murder of innocents through cowardly acts of violence, his leaders too effeminate to wield the sword themselves as they hide behind their tea for visitors and lead lives of debauchery far from the wide, doe-like eyes of the naive Nancy Pelosi or the supporter Obama who, lucky for us based on his acknowledged years as a practicing Muslim from ages 6-10, understands the "legitimate claims" of Hamas, Hezbollah, and terrorist-supporting Iran, here.

Behind these lattice walls, how many women hide beaten, battered, and bruised? How many children are taught hatred we cannot even dream of?

And if we cannot criticize Islam from our own perspective, is it not a tad cynical that we cannot even use Islam's own books, written by Islam's own revered scholars from which to make our case?
~~~~~
We all know that in the Muslim world - the Middle East, Europe, and generally wherever there is a mosque - it is open season on any and all forms of Christianity to be ridiculed and worse. Some months ago, I put forth a request to my Muslim readers to provide me with a verse from the Qur'an or any other representative Islamic "ideological" text that had a directive similar to our "Golden Rule". They're getting back to me on that one.

Institutionalized Racism in the USA

The following editorial is from John W. Wallace, a candidate for Congress for New York’s 20th Congressional District. Mr. Wallace's website is: http://www.FreedomCandidate.com/

Here are his comments in full: (emphasis added)

THE CLASSIFICATION OF AMERICANS BY RACE AND ETHNICITY MUST END

The Racial and Ethnic classification of Americans is nothing more than institutionalized racism and must be ended. The United States of America has been known as a country of rugged individualism based on individual freedom and liberty. Why has America become a country obsessed with classifying its citizens into different racial and ethnic sub-groups?

The only groups that actively support the continued collection of racial and ethnic data are big government bureaucrats and "racial and ethnic special interest groups” that also happen to receive significant funding from the federal government. These organizations argue that identifying people by race and ethnicity is necessary in order to redress some past injustice and that the federal government must continue to collect and use this information in order to set up special racial and ethnic programs, affirmative action quotas and other set-asides for these groups, some of whom consist of new immigrants, illegal aliens and non-citizens.

Nothing can be further from the truth. In a country where we can no longer ask people what religion they are, what their party affiliation is or what their sexual orientation is, why are we still asking them about their racial and ethnic background?

Americans are beginning to realize that racial and ethnic identification is more a matter of personal choice than anything else. In the 2000 Census, seven million American citizens refused to place themselves into a single category by refusing to describe themselves as only white, black, Asian, Latino or any one of the other specific categories listed, because they were of mixed race.

Attempts by the government to create a “mixed race” box for the 2000 Census was met with resistance by racial and ethnic special interest groups like the NAACP and the National Council of La Raza, because they feared that a mixed-race box could pose a danger to the justification for their existence.

The fuzzier such racial and ethnic categories become, the harder it will be for these racial and ethnic special interest groups and the government to traffic in them. If a mixed-race category were to be added, every brown-skinned person of mixed race registered in this category would shrink the government’s official count of Blacks, Latinos, Asians or American Indians, eventually reducing their political influence and ultimately the amount of money these groups receive from the federal government, which amounts to approximately $185 billion a year.

Through the mandated collection and use of racial and ethnic specific information, more and more of American taxpayers’ hard earned money is being routinely distributed to these racial and ethnic special interest groups at the expense of all other Americans who may or may not be members of these groups.

Through executive orders, congressional legislation, affirmative action programs, racial set-asides, quotas and other programs based solely on race and ethnicity, our federal government is playing the key role that pits one racial and ethnic group against another, which could eventually lead to our destruction as a country.

Rather than helping a diverse population become assimilated and united as one nation, the Federal government is doing what the Nazi government of Germany did in the 1930’s and 40’s; creating government supported institutionalized racism by the intentional classification of it’s citizens by race and ethnicity.

With the support of racial and ethnic special interest groups, our federal government seems to view our citizens not just as Americans, but rather as “pawns” in some social science experiment to be classified and separated into different racial or ethnic sub-groups for some unknown purpose.

By mandating the classification of Americans into specific racial and ethnic sub-groups, the federal government and the advocates of “diversity” are actually perpetuating institutionalized racism and keeping Americans divided. Maybe the real purpose of collecting this data is to justify the continuing flow of government money to these racial and ethnic special interest groups.

If we want to help poor Americans escape poverty, get better health care, find a job or get a good education, why should it matter what their race or ethnic background is? The answer is: It should not!

Americans need to come together as members of one country and remember that we are all individual Americans, regardless of race or ethnic background. Martin Luther King, Jr., inspired a nation when he voiced his dream for a color-blind nation, a nation in which people would be judged by the content of their characters, "not the color of their skin."

The answer to this government encouraged racism is the concept of Liberty with a limited, constitutional government that is devoted to the protection of individual rights rather than the claims of different racial and ethnic special interest groups. Where Liberty is present, individual achievement and competence are rewarded, not people’s skin color or ethnicity.

I will support legislation barring the federal government from the collection of racial and ethnic information about the American people and/or the classification of American citizens by race and ethnicity, including the collection of census information. Exceptions should be made for law enforcement, hospitals and medical research purposes.

I will also support legislation that bans affirmative action programs, racial set-asides, quotas and any other programs that give special preferences based on race and ethnicity.

I agree. A classic example is B. Hussein Obama. How can he be "black" when he's mother is white and his father is a black man from Africa? Does "black" skin trump "white" skin? Of course, any "color" of skin trumps "white" these days so perhaps "white" folks should get a tax-break 1) for being discriminated against generally and 2) for paying the bulk of the taxes that support the financial dependency of non-white skinned folks.

Actually, Thomas Sowell wrote this idea around 16 to 20 years ago but I have held it for at least that long or longer: no one who receives tax-payer funded subsidies: food stamps, food bank, section 8 housing, medicaid, or any of the other "aides" should be allowed to vote. To allow someone to vote to steal hard-earned money from one family to support another non-productive family is "theft" pure and simple.

Tax payers can vote to support such aide but the recipients of the tax payer largess should not be able to vote to steal money from the rest of us. Period... That's what Barry, Hillary, and Marxists/Socialists like to do; that is how they "buy" votes and destroy the heart and soul of our nation, drain the life-blood out of the folks their programs force into dependency and call it "I'm government and I'm here to help you."

In the United States of America today, does one "select" their racial identity based on expediency, on avarice/financial benefit in the form of tax-dollar handouts (certain to raise any one's self-esteem we hear so much about), on "what's in it for me?"

Tiger Woods said it best when he identified himself as uniquely being the direct product of seven or eight different ethnic groups but guess what - like Morgan Freeman - Mr. Woods classified himself as an American. Whoo-hoo! And he is too!

As long as the federal, state, and local governments themselves financially benefit from affirmative action quotas, corporations benefit in hiring "atta boys" for affirmative action hiring practices, and individuals benefit above other citizens based solely upon how they classify themselves ethnically, we will remain conscious of "race" - we get paid for it, after all.

But the more I'm called a "racist" because I'm getting sick of supporting this corrupt system, the more my disgust and distrust grows. Personally, I pay heavily so that Section 8 housing folks can have new appliances, have their apartments painted every year, and can pay only $168.00 a month rent not to mention enjoy free landscaping services which I pay for as well. At the same time, I cannot afford new appliances, yearly painting of my home, and have no one to bail me out if I get into debt. And I'm not supposed to have a tad of animosity that my generosity in the form of money I earn being confiscated from me to support someone else is thrown back in my face and I'm called a "racist" because I say this is theft? Back to...

Guess which nation does not classify its citizens by race?

America would do well to rid itself and its people of one source of separation and therefore distrust and that would be to end racial quotas and racial/ethnic identifiers. How soon do you think that will happen? Not as long as politicians appeal to greed and folks think they are getting something for nothing, not realizing or caring that they are, in fact, stealing from their neighbors. How embarrassing!

And in the United States there is no classification for "white" or "Caucasian" any longer; nope, those folks are now "non-Hispanic white." Now, that's planning ahead...

Remember John F. Kennedy? What was his famous statement: Remember not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country!

Shame on our own government and shame on us for letting our government turn us into "money, grubbing second-class citizens with our hands out to government for our daily bread".

We are Americans and we're better than that, no matter how much the politicians disdain us and work to buy our votes with other citizens' money. It is only we who can take our nation back by saying, "No, we can stand on our own. We will look to our churches and our communities, not the government."

Oh, how the government has roped us in and made us slaves to the crumbs they want to toss us and then laugh as we fight each other for the leavings.

We are Americans; we are better than politicians think we are; we must ensure the education of our children; we must ensure vouchers to get them out of failing schools; and we must turn our backs on the government-enforced racism that drives us apart!

We must grab our united destiny and claim our freedoms and our heritage!

Do you think for one minute that the enemies aligned against us care one wit about our ethnic identities? No, they laugh at the distractions that keep our attention away from them and their grand designs...

The Fulford File: Mikko Ellilä and the Finnish Inquisition

Here is a post you may find overwhelming in its links and documentation and striking in the case against Mikko Ellilä. Please see The Finnquisition And VDARE.COM in The Fulford File by James Fulford. The post was published May 13, 2008 with references to Mark Steyn, Ezra Levant, and others, most notably, Mikko Ellilä, whom I have covered here.

Mikko Ellilä has been accused and convicted in Finland of something like enciting racial tensions. What was Mikko Ellilä's "crime"? He spoke the truth about cultural differences but, alas, in a multicultural world where moral equivalency is the "rule" all cultures are equal, right? Take female mutilation, although against the law in Finland, is accepted practice (?) - it's a cultural thing. Then is it a "religious" thing?

And, by extension, seems 'honor killings' should just be old hat. Your daughter dates the "wrong" sort of boy, kill your daughter and get a medal. Your wife or daughter is raped; kill your wife or daughter and throw a party for the rapist. It is a "religious"/"cultural" thing so if you subscribe to xyz belief system, you can murder at will. If you don't, well, you have to abide by the law. If your "religion"/"culture" allows and encourages you to lie to infidels, well, hey, get on with it - you can lie to infidel law enforcement with impunity, right?

Without condemning the Finns - who are caught in the world of Catch 22 with the rest of us, where legal insanity is the norm and common sense the crime - the article by James Fulford is worth your time. Reading the links is even more astounding.

The United States of America is doing essentially the same thing as Finland - importing crime, corruption, murder of its citizens, and disease. We are now having outbreaks of TB and other diseases we had eradicated. We now have over 30,000 estimated members of MS-13 living here, hence our first beheading case in Northern Virginia a few years back when a couple of gang members decided to punish a few relatives by beheading two of the children. Lovely, just lovely.

Mikko Ellilä is right - the Finnish government can like it or not. They are importing problems that may seem small now but will grow to become serious and impossible to manage in the near future. Anyone remember pictures of suburbs of Paris burning?

Treaty of Lisbon: Lawyers waging war against the people

Just as an aside, while France and Germany leadership presently seems to be more pro-American than the more recently departed leaders, it seems as though the boys and girls in Brussels - the dictators of the EU - have turned the lawyers loose upon the people - all the people of the world.

Michael Savage wrote a book, Liberalism is a Mental Disorder. How true and we see it playing out. Rush Limbaugh joked several years ago that while the far-left elitist liberals (Obama, Pelosi, Reid, et al) are striving to remake our nation into a Marxist tyranny or some delusional RINOs are pushing for Utopia, at least they were spreading Liberalism like a plague to Europe. Well, boy, howdy! Was that right on?

So, today, instead of recognizable armies beating up on each other for control, we have lawyers "writing" the un-intelligible Treaty of Lisbon, arguably the rejected EU Constitution in disguise but unreadable in any language AND we have terrorist groups such as Hamas, Hezbollah, Al Qaeda, and others happily blowing us up while they work as proxies for terrorist-funding nations who cannot fight us man-to-man.

The lawyers are even more demented, in that, they - reaping their rewards from trials, not military tribunals - work mightily to turn acts of war (terrorism) into crimes. So the only folks who can be charged with war crimes are the folks who put on military uniforms. Hmmm...

Funny, that uniform thing didn't stop FDR from trying those German infiltrators, working on US docks in New York, in military tribunals as enemy combatants and executing them very quickly... But that was back in World War II when most sane folks knew who the enemy was (just like we know today) and actual men - honored for common sense and bravery - got the job of protecting us done. Back to...

The Treaty of Lisbon is one more step in the emasculating of once fine nations and even worse, the EU and the Treaty of Lisbon - a masterpiece of "in section A.1.b.2.3.5.c. the words 'in the matter of' will be changed to read 'with respect to'." - make the Islamification of Europe a certainty.

Way to go! And while you are at it, take a few minutes to look at the Mediterranean Union and the Barcelona Process. The only good thing seems to be that there are so many "laws" and "agreements" that you are bound to be breaking dozens of them each and everyday, making general enforcement perhaps challenging.

And then take a look at EU Battle Groups and ask why is the US spending so much money on NATO? And if you still have the stomach for it, hop over to the Human Rights dictates where you will choke on the first paragraph which speaks to "freedom of expression", not allowed in the Muslim world and, according to the UN, not allowed in the known universe should one be so silly as to want to engage in a discussion of the facets of Islam.

Let's close down all law schools across the known universe; failing that, how about just those on Planet Earth? Put a moratorium on law degrees with no more being issued for at least 30 years, 60 years if necessary, for degrees pertaining to trial law, international law, and ending general litigation where common sense should prevail.

Then, in the United States of America, should she still stand, AND SHE WILL, pass a law banning lawyers from serving in Congress - either house. As Glenn Beck points out, we could use some common sense. Just a tad...

All this "new world order" rush and the pressure to forge "unions" seems like national "elected leaders" are playing high-stakes monopoly with not only our money, our futures, but also with our lives and freedoms.

Citizens of the United States and of the proud nations of Europe can stop this seemingly psychopathic lemming leaders' rush to drive us over a cliff and to bind us all with the same chains but we have to fight it one nation and one people at a time.

The French and Danes did the best they could. They rejected the EU Constitution when they were allowed to vote. EU officials won't let that happen again. The Swedes are trying.

Israel, DEFEND yourself!

I heard last night of the most recent rocket attacks on Israel. And I was screaming at my TV set: Israeli Defense Forces, defend your people!!!

Of course, I know the shallowness of my plea in that it falls on deaf ears when Americans are being killed by drunk Mexican illegals on our highways all the time and our borders are generally overrun even for all the hardwork of our border patrol. Those men and women have learned their lesson: do your job, defend Americans, and go to prison...

But to the Israeli people, I say, toss the old men out. Defend yourselves! Give up not one inch of land to the murderers who would and are killing your women and children. No 'peace' can be gained when it is at the expense of land you need from which to defend yourselves.

The UN has allowed and I would suggest enabled Hezbollah to re-arm in Lebanon. All Arab states are aligned against you or they seem to be. The American people support you...at least the Christians do.

Bring back Netanyahu! We are living in times of "wars and rumors of wars." The entire world is unsettled and the Muslim mind in the Middle East knows and respects only force.

Ireland: Irish to vote on Treaty of Lisbon

Soon the Irish will vote on The Treaty of Lisbon and here. See also The Lisbon Treaty Ratification Tango and for further removal of government from the people see Issue No. 16, February 2008. And then there is Another union says 'No' to Lisbon Treaty.

On June 12th, the Irish will vote...to be free or to become vassals of Brussels? I would say vote for the treaty and then immediately remove yourselves from the EU but I'm not in a position to know given that nations who do not belong to the EU must agree to its dictates in order to trade with EU nations.

From here, across the pond, the E.U. is like a huge Soviet-style commune - it won't work over time... And it seems to be the result of what Napoleon in his day and Hitler in his could not do by force of war - bring the independent nations of Europe, namely England along with Ireland and the resistance in France and Italy to their knees.

But at least, the Irish will be able to vote on the dissolution of their national sovereignty. We Yanks won't even have the chance to do that as the North American Union moves along with the NAFTA superhighway slicing our nation apart.

For the record, those in the EU who say the EU is modeled after the United States miss entirely the founding of the United States of America. As a nation, we were not forged from independent nations with thousands of years of history and heritage under our belts, with pomp and circumstance, with Dukes and Earls. Our nation was forged in a crucible of revolution and expansion, our bloody fingertips clinging to the eastern shores of the cold Atlantic Coast. We grew from small colonies into 13 colonies who declared our independence from a power which had abused us and our Founders hammered out a 32 page Constitution which - although assaulted from every side by lawyers sworn to uphold it - remains somewhat intact even today.

Back to the EU - empires come to mind, those of: Alexander the Great; Genghis Khan; the Roman Empire; even the British Empire.

Globalization is current man's insidious power grab, gobbling up nations but without the human intelligence or cohesiveness of thought that held some great empires together. According to Jose Manuel Durao Barroso, President of the European Commission, "Globilization is one of the defining influences of our times." Well, no doubt, globalization seemed like a good idea to the Romans until the Visigoths came along.

From a step removed, watching my own nation circle the drain under the guise of a tyranny of an "ism" we have yet to name - possibly "terrorism" or "homeland security" or "national security" - as the North American Union is being built leading to the Union of the Americas, I will tell you now these "unions" will not hold; people will be ever increasingly enslaved, and these unions such as the EU will fall. Why?

Aside from the fact that Islamic Imperialism is also making its move toward international domination and, arguably the EU is making that "conquest" easier, the EU is man's attempt to do what Hitler and Napoleon could not do before - conquer the people and bleed them dry.

People must have stability. Open borders, no effective local or national governments, with only governmental elitism from Brussels will create a "government" that is removed, cruel, inhumane, and cold. It will fall.

Who among you will rise to salute the flag of the EU and sacrifice your life for something so far removed?

Like our NAFTA, the Treaty of Lisbon - the EU - is ostensibly a trading entity that enslaves you, destroys your native culture and leaves you without a national heritage. It is an entity that turns you into mush under its grinding wheels of mediocrity. There is a book entitled, How the Irish saved Civilization.

To the Irish people - save civilization once more and vote against the steel hand of tyranny wrapped in the velvet glove of a "treaty."

In the final analysis, I have to ask what we need the UN for or all those embassies in Washington, D.C. when all we need is a few house for the EU, for the AU, for China, and for the Islamic Republics. What was it Europa, Oceania, Eurasia? Orwell didn't factor in the Islamic Empire...

But like all "empires" of the past, these too shall pass... In the meantime, we are stuck with eroding freedoms and government on steroids. Let's leave the athletes alone and take the "elected" leaders off steroids. How about that for a solution?

Well, Ireland - can you save civilization again? At least you get a vote, as meaningless as it is as was the vote against the EU Constitution cast by the French and the Danes, God bless 'em.

I would suggest that signing the Treaty of Lisbon or voting "yes" on it as did the Irish Parliament is treason just as the formation of the North American Union is treason here at home. Just as I believe that going ahead with the EU is treason when the French and Danes voted against the EU Constitution. But if you don't believe me, please read Lisbon Treaty is high treason by the Baron at the Gates of Vienna. If it is "treason" in Sweden, signing on to the Treaty of Lisbon is treason committed by any elected official sworn to uphold his own nation's laws.

Excuse me, Baron, for tagging along on your post but there seems to be a whole lot of "treason" going on by our own elected folks aiding and abetting enemies sworn to defeat us...Where do we start counting the ways?

Keep up the good fight... Western man will win; he may yield on a battle or two but he will win the war for his Civilization, his life, and his freedoms.

Republican Survey - An Immigration Question

I just received a survey questionnaire from the Natiuonal Republican Congressional Committee. Naturally, they are seeking funds for the up-coming congressional elections. When I have any money to donate to a candidate, I always contribute to the candidate directly. Why? Because the given candidate votes for me and because I will not have my hard-earned money as limited as it is for candidates go into general funds that often go to folks known as RINOs - Republicans in name only.

Now the question I thought you might like:

Do you agree with Republican leaders that tightening border security and strengthening enforcement of existing laws are necessary before we can look at what to do about the several million illegal immigrants already in our country?

That is the question. My response was YES and NO because it seems to me that we can do both: we can enforce existing laws by deporting illegal aliens now AND we can secure the border too. Can't we?

If we can't, then why do we insist on calling ourselves a "superpower" when in fact we are owned by China and God knows who else, not to mention foreign oil producing nations thanks to our Liberal Left Democrats.

Got a problem with high gas prices? Buy stock in a major oil company that you purchase gas from at the pump - not Citco...

To see how much we have been sold out, see MinutemanHQ and learn about the NAFTA superhighway...and of course, the famous North American Union - don't believe it? Don't care? Hmmm....

McCain supports racist La Raza and loss of the Southwest to Mexico

Seems John McCain supports the return of Arizona, New Mexico, Southern California, and Texas to Mexico in his faithful and un-diminished support of the racist group, La Raza: McCain supports reconquest. Courtesy of e-mail from MinutemanHQ.

There is no doubt that Senator McCain is banking on becoming the President of the United States and Senator Lindsey Graham from South Carolina, McCain's faithful poodle - for whom I once had high hopes - is banking on a job in a McCain Administration. How the folks from Arizona keep putting McCain in office in the Senate is beyond my understanding as he so clearly has kicked them to the curb and happily wants to cut Arizona loose.

As a conservative, I have told myself that I would do McCain no harm here at my blog but for goodness sake - who is going to protect him from himself? He recently said he would ensure the border was secure, probably ensuring the illegals could not get out of the United States, and then he would commence to ensure citizenship for illegal aliens here already.

He spits on the Republican conservative base and plows the voter fields for the "independents". Obama is plowing the same ground. Does Senator McCain really think the "independents" will vote for him over Obama or even Hillary?

For those of you in South Carolina, Senator Graham is up for re-election this November, in case you may have forgotten which I doubt.

Well, I'm a conservative so we'll see if there are any conservative candidates running for president in November 2008...

Thank you - they have fought the good fight...

Seems Crusader Rabbit has had a change of heart and is typing away with a right good will, back on-line and doing better than ever. Yippee!!!

Lionheart: Oh, England, where is your Good Queen Bess?

I have been clicking around the internet today checking in here and there among my friends - not reaching nearly as many as I want to reach - but I found that Lionheart, our friend in England, is posting well and I thought I'd bring a few of his recent posts to your attention. Like Mikko in Finland, Lionheart came under similar attack in England.

Stealing from Christians
Maddie slur by British Moslem
Ex-MI6 boss on 42-day detention

The term a friend of mine at the Center for Vigilant Freedom or CFV used for the "Mad Hatter world" in which we find ourselves is "cognitive dissonance" where nothing makes sense; a world in which our leaders seem mindless to the threat we face and, with the exception of President George W. Bush, are fearful to mention the threat of Islamic terrorists and thugs even if the leaders do admit to the existence of the threat behind closed doors.

It is a world where one has to wonder just how many of us have to be slaughtered before some brave soul with the brains and the power will rise up and say, "Enough is enough!" The Danes, God bless 'em, are trying.

But England, our dear England, our brothers and sisters across the pond, are under overt attack and they have no Good Queen Bess of yester-year to come to their defense and rid their land of the threat. There is no King and Queen of Spain to beat back the advancing march of Islamic Imperialism. This wave of attack encroaching upon Christendom has no leader to thwart to advance of tyranny. And even if we have military leaders who know of the threat, we have no one who will step forward and say, "Let's put an end to this threat one terrorist at a time if that's what it takes. Hunt them down and end this."

No, instead, the response is the Treaty of Lisbon and the Mediterranean Union.

My God - has greed become so debilitating that it has turned once fine minds to mush?

Can anyone say, "Neville Chamberlain?"

This is just one way the advance is taking place in America: Medical Dawa in Dayton or just zakat?. I urge you to read the posts at the Center for Vigilant Freedom blog and become informed.

Hillary and her lapel pin

Someone tell Hillary to start wearing a good looking American flag lapel pin. It'll look good and, I hate to say it, but she is looking good lately.

I know I wrote that I'd never vote for her and now I'm not saying I'm changing my mind, but I don't think I'll say "never" again anytime soon.

Hillary is looking better, isn't she? Sure she has a truck-load of negatives as pointed out by Ann Coulter, You don't need to be a weatherman to know which candidate blows, but Hillary is standing tall.

Message to Hillary: "Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT offer to debate with Obama again. You don't need to. He's fast becoming the weaker candidate no matter what the poles say and after his "guns and God" remarks, I'd bet money that there are a few folks in those earlier state primaries who would change their votes."

Did anyone notice in his remarks denouncing Jeremiah Wright yesterday that Obama did not use that condescending, slow-preacher drawn-out drawl. No, he spoke like his actually graduated from those fine universities he attended. Now, that was a change I could believe in...

Obama's neighbors and friends

I was letting my fingers do the walking through a few commentaries and found two to share with you. These are rich and they are important. And although they don't do it, I'll ask the question: should Obama get a free pass on judgments in character matters BECAUSE he has black skin? The answer is no. He who would be president of the United States must walk the gauntlet all others have walked - bloodied and unbowed - before him. Affirmative action does not reach as far as the presidency...

By Ann Coulter: You don't need to be a weatherman to know which candidate blows

By Charles Krauthammer: The Distractions of Obama's Character

Should Obama not be crowned the president, his wife will say, "The ugly white man did it." But she will be wrong; she will have no farther to look for the cause of his defeat than to herself, to Jeremiah Wright, to William Ayers, and to Tony Rezko along with Louis Farrakhan and most prominently, she must face the ugly truth that his defeat will have been brought about by Obama himself.

It is time for white Americans to get over the spoons full of "white guilt" that have been the gruel served cold to us since our infancy for acts of slavery perpetrated upon black Africans by Muslims, black African chieftains, Dutch slave traders and others. America ended slavery in the South in the 1860s. Over 500,000 of us died in a matter of States' Rights on trade couched as a "war against slavery", another lie. However, no black person in America today has been a slave and no white American has owned a black slave. More white Americans are living in poverty than black Americans and black Americans have more opportunities than any other Americans living today. Black Americans who fixate on Black Liberation Theology - racist by any standard as is Kwanzaa - simply perpetuate the ideas of separatism and entrench black racism. [No comments about the black experience in mean old America today in 2008 will be published. I'm sick of listening to that "dead horse" that is poisoning our youth.]

No, if Obama is defeated in his campaign for the presidency, he must understand that the "buck stops" with him and his words and actions. White America has bent over backwards to give him the presidency, and I mean "give." It's time for him to earn the presidency the hard way and it's time for us to clean our guns and get back to our Bible study.

If he is elected president of the United States, then the pressure will be on to see if he can stand the heat in the crucible of that office. We already know he will set out the welcome mat for the very Islamic terrorists who continue to kill across the globe today. If Dems want to get behind a cause, why not put "global warming" on the back burner, and fight Islamic terrorism instead of putting on a silk scarf as Nancy Pelosi did and sitting down to tea?

It is one thing to sit down to talk with people with whom you can reason; it is a fool's errand to sit down with folks who really, really want to kill you and say so...

Obama needs to ignore Wright; America needs gridlock

Watching Senator Obama "denounce" Jeremiah Wright, Jr. is rather painful, especially after Mr. Wright has already set the stage that politicians say whatever they have to say to be elected, thereby, implying that Senator Obama will be dishonest in whatever he says regarding Wright's recent ranting.

What a cheap shot by Wright! Setting Obama up to be telling lies before he even responds regardless of what Obama says. Wow... With friends like Wright, a most trusted spiritual advisor, Obama needs no enemies.

I don't think there is any reason to waste time trying to "understand" Jeremiah Wright. Wright makes himself perfectly clear. Senator Obama just simply needs to ignore Wright for the gnat that he is and get on with his campaign and stop letting Wright bait him. The blood-letting has been done. Senator Obama just needs to step away and get on with his campaign, not let Wright get under his skin. Obama does not need to answer, defend, or denounce Wright; Wright is a capable zealot with a following, maybe a Farrakhan-wanna-be, and let's face it, no matter what you think of Louis Farrakhan, he is a charismatic speaker and, for better or worse, there is no one else like him.

On Obama's run for the Democrat nomination and eventual presidency - who knows what will happen. I don't know; I do know that should Obama not "win" the presidency, neither he nor his wife should blame white Americans. If they want to blame anything, blame the racism preached by Wright who says his message is the message preached across America throughout black churches. I will not believe that - tell me I'm wrong. Tell me that my neighbors do not go to Christian black churches every week and hear hatred preached toward me and my family. My church is a congregation of mixed ethnicities and I refuse to believe that Jeremiah Wright speaks for all black congregations across America.

Americans of all skin colors have fought and died, bled together in defense of our people and our nation, our families. Don't tell me this loss of our blood and treasure is a sham and filled with hatred. My family has been fighting in our wars since before the American Revolution and on both sides of the "War between the States."

Mr. Wright embarrasses me but he brought interesting information to the forefront. Is he right? Of course not... Perhaps Wright is aiding and abetting our enemies, the Islamic terrorists who want all of us defeated or dead?

I am not a Liberal and do not support Socialism/Communism/Marxism. I am learning that Democrats do not understand economics and how increasing taxes stifle economic growth.

While at some level, it is interesting to watch the Democrats duking it out, at other levels there is no fun in it when, while I don't agree with Obama on much of anything, I am sorry some things are turning out as they are. I believe America has many very capable black American who could fill the office of the presidency right now but they are conservatives and do not have the backing of the press or of the black community generally.

A bit of pathos surrounds Obama's campaign beginning as it did with such lofty claims but Americans deserve leaders with more thorough vetting and with a bit more maturity. Being community organizers in the inner city in Chicago is not a place from which to launch a campaign of "experience." Being a governor of a state is more credible and seldom has a Senator become president - Kennedy, yes. But this year it seems we are left with three...

Michelle, if your man does not "win" the White House, it will be because of his exclusive Black Liberation Theology and his Socialist designs on "changing" our nation into a Marxist government. It will not be white racism that keeps Obama out of the White House. White people, generally, seem to want him in the White House to get it over with, to break that "barrier", to see how much he can screw things up, or not, just like any other president of recent decades. If he does well, good for us; if not, he'll go down like General Dinkins in New York, as an experiment that failed and real managers will have to move in and clean up the mess.

Nobody will believe this but if Obama does become the next president, I don't want him to fail in terms of really be totally incompetent. I want him to see the overwhelming responsibility and weight of the office and realize that we are living in very dangerous times. How our next president handles Islamic terrorists and terrorist supporting nations could well end Western Civilization as we have known it. But then Mrs. Obama seems to want to do that when she cautions black Americans NOT to join the middle class, etc.

If Obama should become the next president, I don't want him to fail in the larger scheme of the safety and security of our nation but I don't want us to become Marxist either - so, we have to focus on electing conservative Representatives and Senators to off-set the agenda most liberal Senator in our history.

Democrats: thank Heaven for elitist Dems!

Yes, thank Heaven for elitist Dems! Seriously, I appreciate them in that they have one thing in common with the jihadists. They have no problem letting us know how they feel about the average, hardworking American of any political persuasion - they look down upon us. In fairness, some Republican leaders feel the same way...

Obama infamously remarks that we backward folk "cling to our guns and to religion" in our frustration. Well, no. We cling to our guns for protection and to our religion because our religion is the "rock" upon which we find our way.

I want to write a post on the various examples of how the elitists among the Democrat Party as well as the Republican Party look down upon us, the little people, but alas the flu and sinus infections just won't let me get the post written.

I rather agree with Ann Coulter when she commented last night on Hannity and Colmes that we have Hillary, Obama, and McCain and she doesn't think any of them can get elected.

I haven't figured out how to bring this about yet but if you have any ideas, get the word out to the folks who can get the word out. Here's the plan: without the hassel of a third party - we have the Dems, the Republicans, the Libertarians, Nader's group - we have enough parties.

We, as a people, need to somehow decide on a person, Ron Paul, Huckabee, Thompson, Romney, Bob Barr, a conservative Democrat - someone who will not be the candidate of the Dems or Pubs and WRITE-IN that person's name on election day - all across America.

A good 50% of the base of the Democrat and Republican Parties are disenfranchized (sp) - hey, they need us but would just as soon we went away. We don't need a third-party Ross Perot split sort of thing out in the open. But somehow, osmosis, somehow, we Americans need to put our differences aside and do what is right for OUR nation and write-in ONE agreed upon candidate. Sure, we won't agree with the person on everything - I'm not for open borders but the borders are open essentially.

We all know the parties take their respective base for granted - right? Well, we need to change that without any fanfare.

Together as Americans we need to set aside our individual interests (our representatives can fight out those things in Congress) and vote for America and our nation's future. We need to write-in a candidate and tell both parties this is OUR nation, not their playground. How can we get this done? How can we Americans take our nation back? We can disagree; we can bicker; but we can also stand together for the greater good, can't we?

On 9/11, the Islamic terrorists didn't care about ethnicity, religious beliefs, or anything else about the 3,000 America citizens they murdered. But we stood together and rose from the ashes. We need to do that again this November...
