…OF a Little Bit of This and a Little Bit of That.
Charlie Wilson’s War Was Really America’s War
By: Michael Johns
Somewhat disturbingly, this has not been a story widely told or broadly understood since the West’s victory in the Cold War. Nor, when it has been told, has it been told particularly well.
Encouragingly, such an effort partially emerges in Universal Pictures’ recently-released film, Charlie Wilson’s War, based on real events and a book of the same name by former CBS foreign correspondent George Crile. In its effort to tell a hugely serious story, it predictably includes enough comedic relief for mass appeal. But it is the thesis of this film–that there exists an undeniable correlation between the ultimate victory of the United States-supported resistance in Afghanistan, known as the mujahideen, in their war against the Soviet Union’s invasion and occupation of Afghanistan–
JEW @ RADARSITE
It seems to this particular student of Western history that the descent of decent civilized societies into chaos then anarchy or fascism is almost invariably attended by a disturbing rise in that society’s gradual but unmistakable acceptance of anti-semitism. It is an almost perfect bellwether.
Faking It @ GrEaT sAtAn’S gIrLfRiEnD
Faking it. Everyone’s done it - pretending to enjoy something not all that enjoyable. Or acting out unbearably about something really quite bearable. Faking it.
Deploying a medical brigade at the the make believe border with ex colonial Masters (who share the very same language, dialect, culture and military track record) of Egypt, the world’s very first freely and openly elected suicide regime in history attempts to overcome the worlds acute case of Palestinian Sympathy Fatigue.
A Sword For the Sacrifice of Europe? Never! @ In Russet Shadows
Yes, some of us still support Lionheart. Yes, some of us remain unchanged by two or three sentences of prose, meant to whip the faithful lizards into unthinking rapture; yes, some of us know true friends when we find them and dare to stand with them against the entire onslaught of the Muslim hordes and the equally numerous lickspittles and bootlickers who champion surrender to the “leading candidate” of the cultural wars –
Geert Wilders: Gives New Meaning to the Word: Hero @ Woman Honor Thyself
Let us pray that Geert Wilders is wearing a steel plate under his jacket.
Of course the adherents of the religion he criticizes have proven him spot on and issued Death threats to him and his girlfriend.
Didn’t take the barbarians too long now did it?
Follow the Quran... @ The Renaissance Biologist
Several non-Muslims have responded (A13, subscription required) to Tahir Q’s letter (lower half) about the article about Quranic criticism. I couldn’t have said what they say any more articulately, so here are the best excerpts from each letter. Bold text is mine.
Pay More and Play with Allah @ Flanders Fields
The congress released a letter yesterday written to CMHC chief executive officer Karen Kinsley, urging the housing authority to abandon the $100,000 study.
“Religion has no place in the banking or mortgage industry,” the letter said.”When visiting the main article, please don’t overlook the sidebar, which has a good explanation of “How an Islamic loan works”. The main article has a good description within the report:
Barack Obama and His Support for Islamic Sharia Law and al Qaeda @ AmeriCAN-DO Attitude
The man is a complete and utter fraud and a brilliant liar. He is playing the ignorant American people for fools. Absolute, complete and utter fools.
Why do I say this? Well, do any of you even know about Barack Obama’s relationship with the sharia supporting Raila Odinga in Kenya?
Your Handy Candidate Comparison Chart @ Doug Ross
Whip it out in the voting booth on Super Tuesday.
Where does Hillary, McCain, Obama, & Romney stand on these issues?
Support amnesty or rewards for illegal aliens
Oppose oil exploration in the US
Tax gas 50 cents a gallon more for global warming
Restrict freedom of speech during elections
Oppose Bush tax cuts
Close Gitmo, prosecute POWs in U.S. courts
Surrender Iraq to Iran
Click ^ and learn!!! Or you will only have your selves to blame.
Lastly (but not least!) the anti-American insolent affront of the week. Via the malicious ungrateful comrades of Berkeley.
Berkeley: “You Marines needs to get out of our town.” Sen. Jim DeMint: “Say goodbye to your federal funding.” @ All American Blogger
Sen. Jim DeMint just earned my “Coolest Senator of the Week Award” with these statements right here:
“The First Amendment gives the City of Berkeley the right to be idiotic, but from now on they should do it with their own money.”
“If the city can’t show respect for the Marines that have fought, bled and died for their freedom, Berkeley should not be receiving special taxpayer-funded handouts,”
RIGHT ON!
Have a great weekend all! I know I will. Football, Beer, Chili, Nachos and Pinwheels. It doesn’t get much better than that! All made by yours truly. Excepting for the beer & football that is. That would make me an ancient old drunk. lol
