Overnight Pick Me Up Open Thread
Wednesday, September 30th, 2009Fashion Sense You Can Believe In!
Wednesday, September 30th, 2009“Let’s see here. I need to shower, shave, eat some oatmeal (it keeps my cholesterol down), put on my new ‘Obama: Change we can believe in” T-shirt’, grab my 9 and a few rounds, hold up a convenience store, and then go buy some crack. Who knows, maybe I’ll slap the wife around a little bit too… I don’t know if I’ll have time.”
These are actual mug shots from various Police Departments in the United States.
Just think about this for a second:
Did you ever see anyone arrested wearing a Bush T-shirt, or for you older guys, an Eisenhower, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon or Bob Dole shirt?
There MUST be a message here, but I can’t quite grasp it, or maybe I am afraid to.
Nice types of people you associate with, Charles….
Hat tip to Snork. Good find!

~Open Thread: Wednesday Afternoon “LGF (No) Respect” Edition~
Wednesday, September 30th, 2009I really do not enjoy commenting about LGF, but I have just had enough of the way that site treats some of my old internet friends.
It is simply disgusting the way that they are treated by Mr. Johnson and his “monitor lizards”. LGF disrespects them daily with constant dismissal of their opinions (unless they agree with LGF of course), repeated threats of banning, expressions of annoyance of having to deal with its readers, and the newest -and lowest-of-the-low, “time outs”. This doesn’t even get into the treatment of newly ex-Lizardoids once LGF decides it has “suffered them” long enough, and then just bans them.
Yes, I know the first excuse, and defense of this treatment of its readers is going to be the programmed mantra of “he can do whatever he wants, its his blog.” You know what? I agree, but that isn’t the point. It isn’t about what he CAN do but about what he SHOULD do…and he should show some respect to his readers. There are real people behind those “nics” and they deserve better treatment. (Btw: I would defend the LGF posters on LGF…but we all know how that goes…)
My issue is not with Charles Johnson as a person. He is whatever he is, and that is his business. I hold no personal grudge. This is about the “lizardoids” and how they allow themselves to be threatened.
I am truly amazed that such intelligent, and (in my experience) usually kind people – like those at LGF – would allow a complete stranger to treat them so poorly. It might seem silly that I am concerned about what goes on at another site (and maybe it is) but many of those “lizardoids” are people I used to communicate daily with on-line, and I care. If they wish to accept this type of treatment, I guess that is their business, but it really upsets me. They deserve better than to be mocked, dismissed, threatened, humiliated, coerced, and disrespected so much that they are now put into “time out”!
The “lizardoids” (like all posters on a blog) are what make any blog great, not the Admin(s). Accordingly, they deserve to treated with, and should demand some respect!
Enjoy this open thread….
US Should Support Colombia against Venezuela
Wednesday, September 30th, 2009This is an article on a situation that is personal for me. My Step dad is Colombian, I am close with his family and I have visited Colombia many times. President Alvaro Uribe has turned that nation around, he’s reduced crime, improved the economy and has crushed the Progressive Movement in Colombia. Colombia is a staunch US ally and is allowing us to use their bases for Drug interdiction. However American Progressives despise him because he modernized his nation through Free Market means, they prefer Venezuela which is a Progressive Regime. The Tyrant of Venezuela is not an American ally and he wants to dominate our Southern Flank , it is time to confront him!
In early September, Colombia’s biggest businesses surprised everyone by declaring their wholehearted support for the country’s president, Alvaro Uribe, in his deepening conflict with Venezuela. If they lost the huge export market next door, well, that would simply be too bad.
For the first time, Colombian exporters of just about everything Venezuela buys, from toilet paper to gasoline, fruit and vegetables, and milk and meat, gave their president the green light to confront Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez, instead of continuing to turn the other cheek, as they had been pressing him to do in the eight years since Uribe took office.
Venezuela had become a magnificent business opportunity for Colombian exporters. It produces next to nothing anymore (except oil), has a highly subsidised official exchange rate, and wields huge sums of petrodollars with which it can buy up everything in sight. While Colombia’s authorities were forced to deal with Chávez’s frequent insults, interventions in Colombia’s internal affairs, massive arms purchases, and diplomatic tantrums, the business community profited and pressured the government to compromise. Until now, that is what the government did.
Read the rest.
Chavez with his Petro money is destabilizing Latin America by installing Progressive Regimes via elections. He also supports Progressive parties who are trying to seize power in the Latin countries. Hugo is a menace not just to his neighbors, but to America as well. Colombia is the only nation in South America ready to confront this Totalitarian Progressive Tyrant and we should back them. However, Obama himself is a Progressive and his allies control Congress. He will probably back-stab Colombia to please Chavez and American Progressives.
It is a sad day when America stops backing its allies to please its enemies. Colombia is a great nation with wonderful people, they deserve our support. Again, this is personal for me, and I hope America does the right thing. Sadly with Obama in charge I can’t have that hope.
Hamas, Fatah: Terrorism works!
Wednesday, September 30th, 2009Fatah, Hamas Agree: Kidnap IDF Soldiers to Free Terrorists
(IsraelNN.com) Despite the many differences between Fatah and Hamas, the two warring factions of the Palestinian Authority have found at least one point of agreement: it’s good business to kidnap IDF soldiers, and the best way to free terrorist prisoners in Israel.
Fatah leads the Palestinian Authority government in Ramallah and has been at the forefront of negotiations with the United States and Europe, presenting a “moderate” face to the international community. Hamas, which wrested total control of the Gaza region from Fatah in a bloody militia war two and a half years ago, meanwhile has maintained the fundamentalist, Islamist image to the world. But while Fatah has maintained its “moderate” stance, raking in billions of dollars in international aid, it has done little to facilitate the return of kidnapped IDF soldier Gilad Shalit.
Fatah PA Minister of Prisoners Ashraf Al-Ajrami openly advocated for the kidnapping of Israeli soldiers in a PA TV broadcast on June 5, 2008, explaining the abductions would force Israel to release terrorists.

Animations: Fatah, Hamas Encouraged by Israel’s Weakness
Splinter groups in Fatah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Hizbullah have all made it clear they have been encouraged in recent years by Israel’s willingness to buckle to their demands to release thousands of terrorists, including those with “blood on their hands,” in exchange for the freedom of Israeli captives, alive or dead. The two animations applaud the PA kidnapping-for-hostage policy, and both advocate more kidnappings of Israeli soldiers.Following are the transcripts of both. The first Hamas TV animation mocks Israeli hostage Gilad Shalit and promises more kidnappings of soldiers:
(Song) “In the prisons, our heroes cried with joy: Our day of release has come; this land is our country! You [Israelis] will all be ‘Gilads’. We’ll capture you.”
(Hamas child uses a stone to scrape away at a chain painted on a wall.)
Child [to chain]: “You don’t want to break- that’s OK. Take your time; we’re not in a hurry, we’re very patient.”
(Child drops stone, and image of Gilad Shalit appears on stone.)
Child [to stone - Shalit]: “You stay where you are; don’t move. Tomorrow we’ll be back and we’ll finish the job.”
(Song) “It is inevitable that the chains will be broken.”
(The video ends with the stone – Gilad Shalit – crying: “Mommy!” in Hebrew)
[Al-Aqsa TV (Hamas), April 21, 2009]
The second animation mocks Israeli hostage Gilad Shalit and simply promotes the kidnapping-for-hostage policy:
Gilad Shalit: “Mommy!”
Hamas child: “Who is it? Gilad [Shalit]? [Child laughs] Poor you! You’ve been rotting here for 3 years, and no one cares.”
Gilad Shalit: “Please release me!”
Hamas child: “Are you asking me to be a collaborator and a traitor, that I’ll betray my people and my homeland? Are you crazy!”
Gilad Shalit: “I have an idea: You [Hamas] go and capture more soldiers, they [Israelis] will be afraid and accept your terms to free me.”
Hamas child: “Ah, they will free you not because they love you, but to prevent anxiety among your soldiers, so they won’t be afraid, and stop their military service.”
Gilad Shalit: “True.”
Hamas child: “Gilad, stay here, and pray that [Hamas] succeeds in capturing another [soldier], so you’ll be freed. Bye.”
Gilad Shalit: “Mommy! Mommy! (in Hebrew) Free me!”
[Al-Aqsa TV (Hamas), July 6, 2009]
Wednesday Linkage
Wednesday, September 30th, 2009Israel to Free Prisoners to Obtain Video of Soldier
JERUSALEM — Israel said Wednesday it would release 20 Palestinian women from its jails in exchange for a videotape of a captured Israeli soldier that would prove that he is alive.
French Mayors Fear Burqa Ban Could Not Be Enforced
PARIS (Reuters) – Several mayors of French towns faced with growing demands from Muslim residents say they fear a proposed ban on head-to-toe burqa and niqab veils could not be enforced and might even prompt more women to cover up.
Not all the mayors at the panel opposed the ban. Renaud Gauquelin, mayor of Rillieux-La-Pape near Lyon, said failing to take a stand would mean failing to defend the separation of church and state and, above all, women’s rights.
“What sign would we give to women around the world?” he asked. “To Iranian women fighting for their freedom? To Saudi women who want to be able to drive a car?”
Kartika caning undermines ‘moderate Islam’ image: SIS
SIS board member Zainah Anwar said while the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister have always been trying to project Malaysia as a model Islamic country, such a punishment was unacceptable and could be seen as too severe.
She said Malaysia had attracted international attention because of the Kuantan Syariah High Court’s recent decision to whip the 32-year-old, along with other issues such as the fatwa (religious decree) on yoga and tomboys.
“Foreigners are interested to come to our country because of the moderate image we portray but when they come here, they are shocked to find the level of conservatism being practised.
“So where is this model Muslim country we have been trying to promote?” Zainah told a press conference at the SIS office here on Wednesday.
Jordan bans anti-Israel demo planned by Islamic groups
Jordanian authorities have refused to permit a demonstration which the country’s Islamic groups planned for Friday in reaction to the entry into the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem by Israeli police earlier this week, the Islamic Action Front (IAF) said Wednesday.
“The Amman Governor Samir Mobaydeen has rejected a request by Islamic leaders to organize the demonstration in downtown Amman after Friday prayers to condemn the desecration of al-Aqsa Mosque,” an IAF statement said.
Mobaydeen did not cite any reason for the refusal but said that his decision was based on “the authority accorded to him by the law”, it added.
Candidate wants ban on Muslim immigrants
A hopeful for a Texas congressional seat wants no more Muslim immigration to America. But candidate Canyon Clowdus doesn’t want to stop at the stance he outlined to the blog “Doctor Bulldog and Ronin,” which endorses him in the 11th Congressional District race.
“It’s not just (Muslims),” Clowdus said. “They need to check all immigrants. They used to assimilate.”
Instead, immigrants retain their beliefs, weakening America, said Clowdus, 40, a construction project manager in Marble Falls, Texas. The 11th Congressional District covers a wide swath of West Texas and stretches almost to Austin.
More of the Progressive Youth
Tuesday, September 29th, 2009This is a video from a North Carolina School where the kids are singing a song using Obama campaign themes. I really can’t comment much on this as it disturbs me. Children should not be indoctrinated and just taught facts. Progressives are evil and don’t care about the youth, they just manipulated them for political gain. This disgusts me and makes me angry, as it should any person.
Here is another disturbing video I found.
This one compares the Youth singing with another progressive regime: North Korea.
