Have you ever heard that a dog can "sense" when a tornado is stirring up, even twenty miles away?

Do you remember hearing that, before the December tsunami struck South East Asia, dogs started running frantically away from the seashore, at breakneck speed?

I'm a firm believer that animals - and especially dogs - have keen insights into the Truth.

And you can't tell me that dogs can't sense a potentially terrible disaster well in advance.
Simply said, a good ol' hound dog just KNOWS when something isn't right . . .

when impending doom is upon us . .

When reason departs, irrational thoughts and actions immediately takes its place.  I believe that is what affects the world we live in today in every aspect of our lives and actions.

I find it appalling that evidence supplied by the U.S. Military and supported by the World Tribune that Iran is supplying weapons to the Iraqi insurgents and also that agents from Iran have been directing the insurgency and we take no actions.  Evidence is a matter of reason, thus it does not matter and is prohibited from consideration in establishing our foreign policy.

A massive tsunami of reason is required to overcome the irrational thoughts of many groups in our country that is suffocating us and the West for the past one hundred years.  

In their twisted thinking, Dingy Harry, Nanny Pelosi and their cohorts continuously propagate and create an atmosphere where reason is lacking completely.   Then there is the king of the idiotic, irrational media Olber-fuhrer-mann,  suggesting that the Republican candidates during the GOP debate appeared "very belligerent and very willing to turn to military solutions, or at least keep them on the table on the subject of Iran."  

Terrorists in the Middle East are successful because of the de facto approval of so called moderate Muslims.  (Personally, I believe Muslim and moderate is a dichotomy of terms) We have not given them sufficient inducement to stop the terrorism. Their tactics are smart and with the assistance of the liberal left in America will eventually defeat us if the present trend continues.

I believe there is only one way to overcome the terrorists and that is with our own terrorism which can take one of two methods.

Massive reprisal against a large population of the enemy.  It is essentially what the Nazis did to the Czech village of Lidice in 1942.  After two of their resistance members trained in Great Britain parachuted into the country and killed Reinhard Heydrich, head of the SS in Czechoslovakia, the Nazis responded by leveling Lidice and killing its entire populace.  

Was that brutal?  Did it work?  You bet your as$ it did, the Nazis had no more trouble from that area for the remainder of the war.

The second method is to systematically identify the key terrorist leaders including their radical religious leaders calling for Jihad and kill all their relatives beginning with the first born male children.  The more innocent the victims and the more completely we apply this strategy,  the less insurgency we will have again from these enemies.

The anti-war activists always demonstrate here in America where it’s safe.  We don’t see their demonstrations in Iran, Syria, Iraq, Sudan, North Korea – the places that really need their actions the most.  Why?  They would be killed!

The liberal Democrats, formulating ideas and actions based on human rights, civil rights, diversity, multiculturalism and embracing political correctness have no clue that if Jihad wins, all of these things would immediately be thrown into the dung heap.

They have incorporated into American psyche the “big lie” to support all of this nonsense.  Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi spinmeister-in-chief, said "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.  The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State (Democratic Party) can shield the people from the political, economic or military consequences of the lie.  It thus becomes vitally important for the State (Democratic Party) to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension the truth is the greatest enemy of the State (Democratic Party).”

Today, we are witnessing the “big lie” strategy in action and sadly, it is working.  I am in no way inferring that the Democratic party is loaded with Nazis, please do not make that comparison or inference in any form.  However, they rely on truth through repetition and are never called to task to justify their lies by the mainstream media but in reality, assists them in the spreading of lies.

According to polls, the majority of Americans want nothing to do with the Iraq war and are calling for a situation of isolationism and pacifism that nearly doomed us in the beginning of World War II. Ironically, it was Russia that saved our bacon then because the rest of the world had either been occupied or on the brink of collapse.  History teaches us that if Hitler had not assumed Great Britain as a minor threat that could be dealt with later and pressed on,  instead of turning his attention to Russia, it was only a matter of very little time that he would have been poised to invade the North American continent with the assistance of Japan. 

You may be asking yourself, “why is he dredging up all this ancient history?” I bring this up to illustrate that turning points in history are often dicey things. Now, we find ourselves at another one of those key moments in history.

There is a very dangerous element of Islam that either has, or wants, and may soon have, the ability to deliver small nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons, almost anywhere in the world.

Jihadists are very akin to the Nazis in their belief that Islam, derived from the radical conservatives of the Wahhabi (by the way, centered in Saudi Arabia) sect of Muslims should spread their beliefs first to the Middle East, then Europe and eventually the world.  If you do not conform to their will, you will be killed, placed in slavery or subjugated to the payment of exorbitant taxation.  It is their goal to complete the Holocaust by the utter destruction of Israel and purging the world of Jews.

An enormous complication overlies all of this in the battle Muslims wage against themselves concerning who is the real successor to Muhammed.  Islam calls Muhammed the last prophet of Allah, why would a successor be forthcoming?  This is just another example of the imbecilic contradictions of Islam.  The killing of fellow Muslims has been going on for over 1300 years and is  continuously referred to as a civil war by Western civilization. 

If Jihadists win, the Wahhabis will control the Middle East, OPEC oil and the U.S., European and Asian economies.  I am very much a contrarian to the idea that we should ally ourselves closely to Saudi Arabia mistakenly thinking of them as educated and rational when in fact, they are the source of Wahhabi financing and support of the insurgency movement.  It is my belief that if we focused on the total destruction of the Wahhabis,  it would remove the ability of Jihadists and other terror groups to finance their operations and thus be rendered ineffective.  I believe our existence and survival depends on defeating these modern day Nazis.

We are going to have to do it somewhere and it is better to do it there, not in New York, not in London, Paris or Berlin.  We have a battle raging now at a place and time of our choosing and we need to step up and finish the job.

We created a battle with Islamic terrorism in Iraq. We have focused the battle. We are killing bad people, and the ones we get there we won't have to get here. We also have a good shot at creating a democratic, peaceful Iraq, which will be a catalyst for democratic change in the rest of the Middle East.

This is not some TV show or movie where everything comes turns out OK in the end in an hour or two.  World reality is not like that.  It presents us with uncertain outcomes, usually in a way we do not want to deal with and sometimes turns very brutal, ugly and bloody. It is reality and we have to deal with it… cut and run, surrender, ignoring it or telling lies to ourselves and others and swearing that it is the truth is not a viable option.  That option defers the problem momentarily but in the end the problem will reappear, usually in a much more dangerous and powerful form.  Now Iraq is just another battle in a very old and perpetual battle of ideas.  I believe that we have four options:

The bottom line is that we will have to deal with Islamic terrorism until we defeat it and that will not happen with a policy based on human rights, civil rights, diversity, multiculturalism and embracing political correctness.

World history is about civilization and culture clashes and all wars are about ideas of what society is about and the one most determined always wins.  Those who are willing to be the most ruthless always win. The pacifists always lose, because the anti-pacifists kill them.

Perspective is individual reality and our  schools teach too little history for perspective to be clear, especially in the young American mind.  Opposition to this war embraces an idea that our children or grandchildren may live in an American Islamic society under the Mullahs and Sharia .

The Muslim plodding, incremental aim of world domination continues unchecked. Islamization of the societies in which they live, something to which they are commanded by their religion and which, as one of them happily puts it, their host societies have given them the “margin” to pursue.  Americans pander to, pays for and thus shores up the planting of seeds for growing little pieces of Islam in the U.S.  As these little pieces grow, the Muslims consider it as their own and view them as no longer being in infidel territory.  They then pursue a “back and fill” strategy to enlarge these areas. 

Once more, as in the “Communist Manifesto”, Mein Kampf and Mao’s little Red Book, Americans fail to understand the mistakes of history and past actions.  The Qur’an quite explicitly outlines the goals of Islam and Americans ignore the actions that are done to achieve their goals.

Another glaring example of this is the establishment of Muslim prayer rooms in the Minneapolis airport.  Can you image the outraged indignation of liberals, the media or the ACLU if this were done for Christians and/or Jews?

As this process continues, with their usual anti-American viewpoint, the left blames Western anti-Muslim prejudices and places them in their victims category.  They can look at frightful, covered Muslim women and think, “poor subjugated females,” instead of thinking, “hideous aliens who are out to destroy everything we are,” and it only proves the idiocy of liberal thinking.

The American right views Muslims as pro-Western and pro-Democratic that have somehow had their beliefs usurped and terrified into silence by a very small number of extremists who aren’t real Muslims.  

Both of these viewpoints have been unrelenting and they are dead wrong!  Unfortunately, they are the only two views of Islam that are existent in the American mainstream.

Somewhere in the future, perhaps Americans and the rest of the world will recognize that Islam in not a religion but in fact, a philosophy of world domination hiding behind a veil of religion.  All terrorists are Muslims and all Muslims are terrorists.

Thus far, Hillary Clinton has attacked big oil companies wanting to take their profits to establish her ideas on establishing energy policy.  Then she attacked Pharmaceutical companies and Health Insurance providers calling them greedy and wants to use their profits for a National Health plan.  Last week, she went on the attack against Wal-Mart calling them a mixed blessing but they would be a good company  if they allowed their employees to  unionize. What's next Hillary, day care centers converted to Socialist youth camps? 

Taking a trip through this woman's mind is akin to a boat ride through a sewer in a glass-bottomed boat.

The thing I like best about being a conservative is that I don’t have to lie. I don’t have to pretend that men and women are the same. I don’t have to declare that failed or oppressive cultures are as good as mine. I don’t have to say that everyone’s a victim, or that abortion is not murder or that the rich cause poverty or that all religions are a path to God that should be opposed.

I recently read a story about a man constantly harangued by an obnoxious, little yappy dog that one of his neighbors owned.  The neighbor was unsympathetic to the fact that his dog had no respect for  property rights and thought the whole thing was funny.  The dog would follow the guy, yap at him constantly always out of foot range. Rocks were a satisfying vent but the dog was so stupid, it had no memory.  He even considered buying a silencer for his .22 pistol and sending him to doggie perdition.  However, he decided that he should be able to outsmart a dog instead of killing it.

He had recently read Farley Mowat's, Never Cry Wolf, about his life among artic wolves. The wolves never harmed him, in fact completely ignored him, but they did not respect his property.  The wolves would enter his tent, ransacking it looking for food and even peed on his tent while he was in it. 

Watching the wolves mark their boundaries by peeing, Mowat tried the same thing.  Several pots of tea later, Mowat marked a line just inside the wolves to see what they would do.  A wolf approached the line, looked shocked, peered at Mowat closely and then marked his line farther back from Mowat’s.  Subsequently, the wolves never again crossed into his territory.

Deciding that Mowat had followed the advice of Sun Tzu in the Art of War, “know your enemy,” stating that it will allow you to outsmart and defeat him…he then drank several beers and glasses of water and marked a boundary line from the street to the houses in back along his property line.  The dog never crossed the line, standing on the other side of the line giving him reproachful looks and never yapped at him again.  Problem solved.

This amusing little anecdote is use to illustrate a much more serious issue.  Americans and the West have continuously pandered to and ignored the incredible untruths and idiocy fed to us non-stop by Islamists and the warped, politically correct liberals –– preferring instead to ignore the problem in misbegotten  hopes that the problem would disappear if we just didn’t offend them.  If we would spend the time required to know our enemy, The Religion of Peace would stand exposed for what it is, The Rubbish of Imbecility ( Great stupidity or foolishness; something, such as conduct or an act, that is stupid or foolish.)  A knowledge of our enemy is sadly lacking.

The Qur'an is a concept of deity invented by Muhammed and Allah predates Islam, rooted in the pagan cult of Allah, the moon God.  The Qur'an is mainly the deranged rantings of Muhammed.  If we would take the time to know our enemy, legitimizing this imbecility would soon cease.

Imbecility: Muhammed always had to have much bigger stories and alleged miracles than those contained in the Bible. Did you know that according to Muhammed, Satan resides in the upper part of your nose at night, that dirty booger, so it's best to blow him out with some water up your nose in the morning! (Get serious! Islam’s clerics still teach this!) Hadith 516-Vol. 4.

So…do you suppose the tiny little legs are a result of not cleaning the nose properly?

H.R. 1592, the so-called “Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2007.”

“The so-called ‘hate crime’ legislation begins to lay the legal foundation and framework to investigate, prosecute and persecute pastors, business owners, and anyone else whose actions are based upon and reflect the truths found in the Bible.

“Anyone who has taken time to carefully read this bill knows that it is based upon several false premises and inaccurate statements about the extent of alleged ‘hate crimes’ against homosexuals, transsexuals and other gender confused individuals. This legislation falsely claims that:

    * There is an epidemic of hate crimes targeting homosexuals, transsexuals and gender confused individuals and that local law enforcement officials are overwhelmed in dealing with these crimes.

    * Homosexuals, transsexuals and other persecuted groups are so fearful that they must flee across state lines to seek refuge – and have trouble purchasing goods and services in their home states.

    * Hate-filled individuals are pursuing these homosexuals and transsexuals across state lines to beat them up.

This type of legislation that the Democrat controlled congress is stupefying. These faggot loving, Christian hating radicals just invent things of  out of thin air and present it as a problem and truth.  If this is such a national problem, why aren’t we hearing about  the highways clogged with fleeing homos?  Purchasing goods or services by them is a problem?  Have any of you ever been asked about your sexual preferences when you present cash or valid credit card to purchase something?  

If you want to see hatred in action, visit some of the liberal blogs such as moveon, huff & puff post, smirking chimp, daily kos etc., there you will read the most vitriolic, profane hate possible.  Keep in mind that these sites are part of Howard Dean’s strategy for the Jackass party.

Secondly, this legislation is a specific attack on Christians proselytising about their faith.   This bill is nothing more than another attempt by Democrats to change our government to Communist Marxism.  They can only retain or gain personal power by splintering our country into victims and various groups pitted against one another.   The Dims are disgusting and very real danger to our country.

Lantos explains strategy  for Kosovo independence.  Hell, let's not stop with surrendering to the scum in the Middle East...we want you to love us so much that we wlll agree to a much greater killing zone. 

Rep. Tom Lantos, D-Calif, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee is pushing hard, as he put it, to create "a predominantly Muslim country in the very heart of Europe," Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin reports.

"Just a reminder to the predominantly Muslim-led governments in this world that here is yet another example that the United States leads the way for the creation of a predominantly Muslim country in the very heart of Europe," he said April 17. "This should be noted by both responsible leaders of Islamic governments, such as Indonesia, and also for jihadists of all color and hue. The United States' principles are universal, and, in this instance, the United States stands foursquare for the creation of an overwhelmingly Muslim country in the very heart of Europe.”

 The Jihadists in the past few days have announced intentions to plan invasions of France and Spain.  Now we have this flaming idiot proposing a theocratic state in the heart of Europe.  What the hell is he thinking?  What about the Christian minority in Kosovo?  This action would be tantamount to signing their death warrants!  Could we make it easier than this for the murdering bastards to launch incursions into other European countries?  This is yet another damn liberal reaching out to “change their hearts and minds” and pandering to Islam when we should be paying more attention to exterminating  them like the vermin they are.

Whenever we have a murderer such as the Va Tech shootings, it astounds me at the enraged outcry of liberals to outlaw guns and calling for the creation of more gun-free zones.  All of the shooters committed their acts in gun-free zones,e.g. DC sniper attacks, Amish murders, Columbine massacres and all other public school shootings.

Gun-free zones are the safest place for the murdering lunatics.  Yes, they are insane but not stupid.  The liberals in cahoots with activist judges have succeeded in the creation of legislation that negates the rights of the  second amendment to the Constitution.  So innocent people die because of it since they had no way of defending themselves or others. 

In 2006, Virginia Tech spokesman Larry Hincker said he was happy that the General Assembly voted down a bill that would have given qualified college students and employees the right to carry handguns on campus, according to the Roanoke Times.  In June 2006, Virginia Tech's governing board approved a violence prevention policy that reaffirmed the school's ban of law-abiding students carrying the means to defend themselves against homicidal mass murderers. No other school policy was more responsible for the massacre than this one.

This type of violence just reaffirms my dedication to carrying my concealed hand gun wherever I go and encouraging others to do the same.

Muddying up the waters with preconceived ideas and notions, Americans are subjected to the likes of addle-brained, trash mouth moron Keith Olbermann blaming President Bush for the Va. Tech massacre.  This is  a massive quantum leap even for Olbermann.  His  thinking process must originate from smoking the drapes or peyote cactus induced dreams.

Then of course, there’s Rosie O’Blobarse…when told during one of her ranting outbursts that the right to carry arms is guaranteed in the second amendment replied; well, that is open to debate.  Duh!  Rosie, I don’t think there is any serious debate occurring about repealing the second amendment.

So, to stop the shootings, we should be involved in the creation of “gun-crime-free zones” and allow responsible, law-abiding citizens to carry concealed weapons.

(CNSNews.com) - Democracies can respond more effectively to terrorism by embracing preventive military models rather than reactive criminal justice models, American and Israeli legal experts said Thursday.

With terrorists targeting the United States and Israel and using instruments of war, policy makers must recognize the flaws and limitations of a conventional law enforcement approach, the experts said.

Addressing a seminar in Washington, D.C., former U.S. assistant attorney Andrew McBride discussed the campaign against terrorism from a U.S. perspective. Col. Daniel Reisner, an Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) legal advisor, discussed recent changes in his government's policies.

The two were participating in a panel examining whether in the fight against terror, law is an asset or a liability.

McBride argued that the Bill of Rights and U.S. Constitution are designed to protect American citizens and permanent residents, not foreign nationals. Only those who "pledge allegiance to the body politic" are entitled to receive these special protections - not foreign enemies, he said.

No, no, no, no!  Blame the country the sponge-brained liberal media types who hear this and go, "Oh... Oh! Oo oh!"  We're destroying poor peoples of color in Iraq and in the war on terror -- and we're "creating enemies" with our actions in the Middle East, when everybody with half a brain understands that we were attacked on 9/11, and for 25 years prior, without doing diddly-squat about it -- and we weren't attacked for anything that we've done to these people.  We're attacked because this is an ideological battle.  

Some people have trouble accepting it because they don't think it's possible. Militant Islamofascism, is an ideology, and they're very blunt and open, they tell us what their plans are. Wipe us out!

"Ah, come on! These guys? They're going to wipe us out?"

While it is appropriate for the courts to intervene where the rights of citizens are concerned, it is not appropriate that they interfere with the executive branch's pursuit of foreign enemies, McBride added.

Applying the criminal justice model to the "armed conflict with al Qaeda" is not a workable solution, because it would provide terrorists with too many advantages and opportunities, he said.

McBride said the Bush administration made the right call in declaring terrorists as enemy combatants. He rejected the argument that U.S. constitutional protections should apply once a foreign terrorist is on American soil.

"That's like saying the closer they get to the target, the more rights they have," McBride said. 

I lay this type of warped thinking at the feet of the Democrat Party in this country and the Drive-By Media and the entire American left.  

Well, anybody around the world who also hates us is going to find great comfort and courage in speaking out the same way.

The Democrats and MSM want  us to lose, They want this country humiliated. They want our military made a mockery of.  They are inspiring it, and they are rewarding it, by validating the authenticity and the legitimacy of a bunch of insane lunatics.  They are Anti-American to the core.  Hating the current president more than they hate our enemies?

For his part, Reisner commented on the legal challenges associated with dramatic shifts in Israel's military and law enforcement polices.

Three factors were responsible for altering Israel's approach to terrorism in recent years: the enemy's use of military technology and tactics, the scope of the attacks, and the scope of the causalities, he said.

Israel moved away from treating acts of terror inside Israel as a police matter, adopting a model that allows for a strong military response. This shift began in 2000 - when the second Palestinian violent uprising (intifada) was launched - and has accelerated since then, Reisner said.

The law did not accommodate the idea of a war between a nation-state and non-state actors, he explained. For this reason, it became necessary to set legal precedents.

This is an excellent point, the terrorists operate outside the realm of law and in doing so, forfeit any right to its protections.  The liberal left would have us believe that this is not the case.  However, this point is why I believe that all-out military force should be used against them…even to the point of destroying their Mosques that are used by their theocratic leaders to propagate terrorism.   

For the first time, the Israeli military was permitted to use its arsenal directly against terrorists and designate terrorist leaders as enemy combatants.

The Clinton administration did not approve of the approach, Reisner noted. Former Sen. George Mitchell traveled to Israel at the president's behest and after reviewing the situation advised the Israeli government to return to a law enforcement approach, he recalled.

Why am I not surprised ?

The slaughter of innocent victims at Virginia Tech has prompted a national debate in the United States. It seems to me that the challenge is to prevent the bad guys from getting guns (or nukes).

A simple truth:

But political correctness does not allow for making the distinction between the good guys and the bad guys.. . and therein lies the problem for an America trapped by its PC blinders.

Gun control advocates are missing the point that people such as the Va Tech shooter and criminals will always find a way to get guns.  No amount of liberal legislation restricting the acquiring of guns will ever change that. However, liberals never seem to get any point that involves their mindset that government can solve all problems and that they know what's best for all of us.  Their ideas always fail miserably.

* * *
Here in Israel, where nobody can walk onto a college campus without being frisked and checked by security ...and where lots of people are licensed to carry legal firearms, and do, a lone shooter isn't shooting fish in a barrel.
* * *
So now what does the West do about the whacko Iranian President, his rambling and violent threats, his receiving messages from Allah, and his vow to wipe Israel off the map, and his drive to get his hands on nukes?

Nu?
