Various ramblings dealing with issues as I see them. Will touch upon everything as it comes to mind. Most issues more than likely I will have a conservative slant on. Others I will have a more or less insane take on. For me to write and you to judge. In any event enjoy it and I invite your comments and opinions. "Only the educated are free." -Epictetus

You will regulate yourselves to the ash heap of history.

The Middle East will eventually defeat itself in its jihad against the Western World and the “non-believers”.

Napoleon once said “Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.”

Let’s take a look at current events and enemy mistakes in the Middle East. The Palestinians in yet another stroke of inherent stupidity have elected a terrorist organization as their ruling political party. A group of religious zealots with the declared intention of destroying the Israeli State. They will see that the vast majority of the Western world will withhold funding to a terrorist organization freely elected or not. Without this funding the Palestinian State will wither and die. I hope they [Palestinians] don’t expect the rest of the Arab world to pick up the slack. Granted they will contribute some funds but not nearly enough to compensate for the lack of Western funding. While the Sunni Arabs like to tout a united front time and time again they end up helping no one as their petty bickering leads to nothing. While Israel has made mistakes no one with an open mind and informed opinion can say that they have not made a legitimate attempt to find a peaceful solution to the Palestinian problem. Maybe its time they decide and we allow them to roll the bulldozers unimpeded?

Wide spread riots, demonstrations, and destruction in the Middle East due to the publication of some cartoons in the Western Media. The Danes exercise their right to publish and write about whatever they want. This they can do as they enjoy a free and democratic society. In response to this the Muslim world attacks their embassies and calls for the death of Danish citizens. While at the same time Egyptian and Bahraini newspapers almost daily publish cartoons that portray the Jews in the same light as Nazi Germany once did. Have you seen any Jews or Christians burning Arab embassies or burning Egyptian flags? No you don’t.

Iran is hell bent to develop the ability to produce nuclear weapons. The free world cannot and will not allow this to happen. Iran through their inability to find a peaceful and mutually beneficial solution to this issue will back themselves into a corner where they are punished by the free world. No country no matter what their political leanings can allow a known terrorist state to obtain nuclear weapons. That would be a threat that no country would be exempt from.

OPEC consistent rising of oil prices on the world market will eventually regulate these countries to the ash heap of history. The higher they run prices up the more and more frustrated the citizens of the western world will become. As the level of frustration continues to build it will force Governments and businesses in these countries to develop alternate means of energy. As this continues to happen the need for their oil will drop. Once we get to the point where their oil is not needed what will they do then? Will they fall back on their other products to sell on the world market? Oh wait, they don’t have any. Maybe then we can charge them $60.00 a bushel for corn and grain.

While the Western World continues to become more secular the Muslim world continues to become more religiously fanatic. As time progresses and the people of the western countries become more and more aware of this, their tolerance for the double standards and the Muslim bigotry will begin to wane. Let us never forget the inherent differences of Christianity and Islam.
You have heard that it was said to the men of old, You shall not kill; and whoever kills shall be liable to judgment. But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother shall be liable to council, and whoever says ‘You fool!’ shall be liable to the hell of fire.”---Jesus (Matthew 5:21-22)

Now the world according to the Quran

Therefore, when you meet the unbelievers in fight, smite at their necks; at length, when you have thoroughly subdued them, bind a bond firmly on them: thereafter is the time for either generosity or ransom, until the war lays done its burdens. But those who are slain in the Way of Allah, He will never let their deeds be lost. Quran 47:4

Once again the Muslim world is picking a fight it cannot win. Eventually as people in the west become more aware and educated on what is going on in the Middle East and make their beliefs known to their respective governments the position in the west will harden towards the religious fanatics in the Middle East and those governments that overtly and covertly support them. 3 times the Arab world has attempted to defeat Israel with military aggression. Each time tiny little Israel has crushed them. They then embarked upon 3+ decades of terrorist attacks against them and have come off the worst for wear on that front. They [Muslims] may believe they can fare better in their war against the entire western world. Once again they will be proven wrong and ultimately crushed. Long ago the Muslim world reached its zenith. They themselves are hastening its path its nadir. I wish them God speed towards this destination. You in very large part are doing it to yourselves.

I leave you today with a very important quote. Please note who the author of it is. This alone demands that we collectively insure that we prove it wrong and rise to the challenge. The mistakes of the past especially what the author of the following quote has done can never, ever be allowed to happen again. Our way of life while not perfect cannot be allowed to vanish from the earth.

What luck for rulers that men do not think. –Adolf Hitler

In the end victory awaits.


A just fear of an imminent danger, though there be no blow given, is a lawful cause of war. -Francis Bacon

Its about time

It is about time that the Western world takes a stand. I direct your attention here: http://today.reuters.com/news/newsArticle.aspx?type=worldNews&storyID=2006-02-01T165228Z_01_L01441468_RTRUKOC_0_US-RELIGION-DENMARK-FRANCE.xml&archived=False
As I recently wrote we in the West should not compromise our values, morals, and way of life to please the over sensitive and over reactive peoples of the Middle East. Far too often parts of the Western World knuckle under to pressure form radical Muslim countries when they get their feelings hurt by an expression of opinion or the expose of a short coming in their ways. They [Muslims] say nothing when a radical member of their society wages a war of terrorism on us and kills innocent civilians. They say nothing when their own bickering and inability to act rationally causes the needless deaths of their own people. But God forbid someone publishes a CARTOON that they feel insults their oh so special Prophet who preached murder, rape and destruction. Parts of the Muslim population are hell bent on waging their jihad against the West. The more moderate and reasonable portions of the Muslim population are either too scared or too lazy to say anything against them. Maybe its time that the Western World stages a jihad of their own against the current double standard. The Muslim world has proven that they will do and say what ever they please to hurt the Western World, its beliefs and culture. Maybe we should do the same. At the very least the time of bending over backwards to maintain a Political Correctness that is sickening should be stopped. If you feel offended over the Danish cartoon don’t read it. If you want us [namely the West] to not print something like this that you reciprocate in kind in your publications and news broadcasts. If you approach the differences in our cultures in a sane and rational way I know that we will respond in kind. Failure to do so will continue to result in cartoons such as this and blogs such as mine. At least I can say that my side is not attacking your people with roadside bombs, killing those that are more moderate and progressive in my country, and we are definitely not advocating the destruction of your way of life.

In the end as Napoleon once said “Victory belongs to the most persevering”. I assure all in the radical Muslim world we will persevere and will be victorious against your jihad.

Joel Stein - LA Times columnist

I would like to take a moment to bring this idiot to your attention. Recently he wrote an article in the LA Times that he does not support American Men and Women in uniform defending our country and its interests abroad. As a recently retired member of the US Army I am quite offended to say the least. I would just like to remind that little far left S.o.B that were it not for the sacrifices made by those in our Armed Forces he wouldn't have the ability to spout such anti-American crap. I invite this piece of crap to spend a day in the shoes of an American soldier on the front lines, to see what they endure on a day to day basis to provide a free and democratic society for all in this country to enjoy. In closing this particular rant of mine I would like to leave you all with a quote that sums it up.

"It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.
It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the
flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag who allows the protesters to burn the flag."
- Father Denis O'Brien, U.S. Marine Corps
