Hamas is using Mickey Mouse to Promote Jihad
I just came across this post at Jihad Watch. It’s about how Hamas is using a Mickey Mouse lookalike to teach children about Jihad. The original post was from Palestinian Media Watch
Here is a link to the video:

It is pretty frightening stuff. How are we supposed to appease people who teach this kind of hatred to children as such a young age? We let this go on for far too long and it is now time to fight until the battle is won.
The Politics of Fear, Democrat Style
We keep hearing Democrats accusing the Bush administration, and other Republicans of using the politics of fear. Whenever someone discusses terrorism, they are accused of fear-mongering. Terrorism is an issue in today’s politics, the most important issue actually. But yet the Democrats don’t want politicians to discuss it. Is that because they know they are weak on this issue? Is it because they view 9/11 as an isolated event? Is it because they blame America for creating terrorists in the first place? Or do they just think if we ignore them they will go away? I don’t know, but I do know this is an issue that must be discussed and debated in the coming election. To try to restrict that conversation by calling it fear-mongering is doing a great disservice to our country.
But Republicans aren’t the only ones to use so called fear-mongering, here is an article that points out what I would call the fear mongering of the left.
Here is some of what Bill Clinton thinks we should be afraid of:
Bill Clinton said Friday that disasters such as worldwide famine and an obesity epidemic could destroy the U.S. health care system unless politicians begin to look ahead and cooperate.
Famine and obesity at the same time?? What?
Sounds like he might be preparing us already for Hillary care all over again. Start with the fear now and we will be ready to accept socialized medicine.
“This is coming,” Clinton said. “And I know there is no great political constituency for it, but we can avert these disasters for not very much money if they can be put into the public debate and people understand clearly what’s going to happen.”
The key word in that last statement is MONEY, where do you suppose it’s going to come from?
He said the next president should solve the “biggest, baddest problems“
So obesity and famine are two of the world’s biggest problems, we need to spend money to solve them. Terrorism is not one of the biggest, baddest problems?
Maybe if President Clinton spent more time on the big, bad problem of UBL instead of on ML we wouldn’t have had to go to war in the first place.
That’s okay, the bird flu will probably get us anyway.

Do Nothing Democrat Congress is getting Worried
The Democrats momentum is stalling according to this piece from washingtonpost.com. I contend that since the election has been over they have never even got started, so there is no momentum to have stalled. They passed a number of domestic bills that have not gotten anywhere, they were then sidetracked with losing the war, while nothing they have passed has made it to the president’s desk to be signed.
From the article:
But now that initial progress has foundered as Washington policymakers have been consumed with the debate over the Iraq war. Not a single priority on the Democrats’ agenda has been enacted, and some in the party are growing nervous that the “do nothing” tag they slapped on Republicans last year could come back to haunt them.
Let’s not forget about the culture of corruption tag the Democrats stuck on the Republicans. They were able to convince the people that only Republican senators on congressmen were corrupt. And that they were all above that kind of behavior, now we know about Harry Reid, William Jefferson, Dianne Fienstein, and others.
“We cannot be a one-trick pony,” said House Democratic Caucus Chairman Rahm Emanuel (Ill.), who helped engineer his party’s takeover of Congress as head of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. “People voted for change, but Iraq, the economy and Washington, D.C., [corruption] all tied for first place. We need to do them all.”
There you have it, I believe the culture of corruption is what was the final undoing of the Republicans, not so much the other issues. If the American people voted for change in Iraq, how come congress’ approval rating hangs around 36%? It isn’t just because the far left doesn’t think the Democrats are moving fast enough on the war, it’s mainly because the majority of Americans want to win the war. One-trick pony? They are not even a one-trick pony, I haven’t seen them offer one solution to one problem. I guess they do have one trick though, wait until George Bush takes a side on an issue and then take the other side.
“This leadership, these Democrats have shown that they can fight,” he said. “Now they have to show they can govern.”
It’s a whole different ballgame when you can’t just sit on the sidelines and complain, now they have to do something about it. And they have no ideas.
Video: United We Stand
This is a video I found on redstate and I thought I would pass it along.
I found this post on American Traditionalist and thought I would pass it along.
There is a petition you can sign here to show your support for the troops and voice your opinion that America needs to win in Iraq.
Please sign the petition and show congress you believe in an American victory in Iraq.
Manditory Seatbelts in Massachusettes…For Dogs
You read that correctly. Dogs will be required to wear seatbelts in Massachusetts. This is one of many new possible dog regulations coming to the Bay state. It’s good to know Gov. Deval Patrick has his priorities straight. He must be doing a wonderful job if this is the most pressing problem facing the state.
However some are worried that there is doggie discrimination in some of the proposed laws:
Canton animal control officer Ellen Barnett objected to the new regulation. “The problem I had with it is that it was too breed specific,”
Walsh said he and his fellow lawmakers are mindful of the pitfalls of singling out specific breeds. “Otherwise you’re penalizing an animal, in some regards, for what the owner lacked in training,” he said.
So there you have it, they will need to propose anti-dog-discrimination laws in Ma. because the legislature will be writing discrimination into law.
Let’s just hope none of these dogs are gay.
Here is an article written by Gerd Shroeder, he is a Major in the United States army. It is entitled America! Why Have you Abandoned us. It is a heartfelt letter written to the American people, and probably more close to the point America’s politicians. It is an illustration of how the words from our politicians affect negatively our troops who have their lives in danger. It also tells of how they are emboldening the enemy.
From the Major’s letter:
My fellow Americans; what have the American Fighting men and women done to cause you to abandon them in a foreign land, surrounded by sinister people that are bent on killing them and all Americans? Are we ignorant that these people, who think nothing of killing men, women, and children of their own race, culture, and religion, will hesitate a moment if given the chance to destroy us, our families, and our freedoms? And they know that the defense appropriations have ended.
That sums it up perfectly, the enemy is willing to kill their own families if necessary to continue the fight and the politicians think if we just leave them alone they will go away. Once they know the date of our surrender they can just sit back and wait.
Why have the halls of Congress and the Whitehouse not been overwhelmed by citizens outraged over the abandonment of our fighting men and women? Is the silence a sign that shock jocks, and dead playmates are more important to American than our soldiers?
I think I know the answer to this, because as I have said before, Americans have grown soft and weak. America no longer has the courage to fight for what she believes in. It’s sad, but it is definitely true.
The next statement is the one I find the most powerful and breathtakingly haunting one of all, and it reads:
The silence from the people is morale crushing, and a betrayal. For whatever purpose we believe our soldiers have gone to war, surly abandonment of a hostile, foreign land was not one of them.
That alone should be a wake up call to the people of this country and to our politicians, although it falls on deaf ears. As someone who has sent numerous letters to my Rep., Carol Shea-Porter, I know that my concerns are falling in deaf ears.
If Americans and the politicians would take the time to see how their words affect our soldiers, perhaps they would stop saying the war is lost, perhaps they wouldn’t compare our soldiers to the Soviet gulags, perhaps they wouldn’t compare our soldiers to Pol Pot, perhaps they would treat our soldiers as the heroes they are.
I doubt it though, that wouldn’t help them in their true war, the war to win the white-house.
Rep. Jim Walsh (R-NY) says PBS should show Terrorism Documentary and let the People Decide
As I have been posting, PBS has decided not to air a documentary that shows moderate Muslims speaking out about radical Islam. I believe they are afraid of offending terrorists. You should be able to read my previous posts on this by searching PBS on my blog.
Rep. Jim Walsh (R-NY) says PBS should air the documentary on terrorism that PBS decided not to air. You can read the article here.
He believes PBS should air the documentary and let the viewers decide how they feel about it for themselves. What a novel idea, letting Americans make up their own minds, what is he thinking? Liberals don’t believe Americans are smart enough to make up their own minds. Therefore they must pass regulations to protect us from our own stupidity.
Show the movie, and let the American people decide for themselves.This is the message Rep. Jim Walsh (R-N.Y.) has for officials from the Public Broadcasting Service who have decided against the airing of a documentary which, he said, answers a crucial question – where are the moderate Muslims?
That’s the big question in my mind, where are they? Are they just to scared to speak out against the radicals as I believe? Or do they secretly agree with them?
The film PBS pulled from a documentary series lineup, “Islam vs. Islamists: Voices from the Muslim Center,” highlights the work of moderate Muslims who oppose the Islamist agenda and are willing to speak out.
These are the people I want to hear from, I can’t see any reason why they would pull this documentary which depicts Muslims who are not afraid to speak out against radical Islam. It just makes no sense to me. Are they afraid of offending the radicals and inciting terrorist attacks? We don’t need to do anything to incite them to attack us, they believe they are doing God’s work.
“I thought it was an excellent film,” Walsh said. “It helped me to understand why there was such a deafening silence in response to these outrageous anti-human attacks,” he said. “The American public has paid for this film so let them make their own judgment.”
That’s the claim made by Frederick Schwarz Jr. and Aziz Huq in their new book.
They claim that by fighting back against the people who attacked us the president can be impeached. Here is the quote:
President Bush and Vice President Cheney committed impeachable offenses by “adopting the tactics of the enemy” in response to 9/11
Are they really serious here? Because the president retaliatedagainst an enemy that attacked us we should impeach him. I guess we should treat these attacks as separate, individual criminal activities and try the attackers in court when they are caught. That was our policy before Sept. 11th and it lea to Sept. 11th. We can’t afford to make these mistakes again. What is that quote about forgetting history?
Roger Pilon, director of the center for constitutional studies at the CATO Institute, said in response that the authors and others were trying to convert what should be political issues into legal ones to be ultimately decided in the courts.“The last thing we want is for foreign policy to be conducted by lawyers and courts, yet we are moving increasingly in this direction,”
I’m afraid we are moving in that direction, not only on this issue but on all issues in general. It is too dangerous to let the courts and especially lawyers get involved involved in trying to set foreign policy. It is the courts who are overstepping their bounds.
Throughout American history, presidents have “reacted in ways that do not involve all three branches,” Huq said. He acknowledged this was also true of Democrats, citing Franklin Roosevelt’s internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II.
Can you imagine the president doing something like that? How can he have all this over-reaching power if he couldn’t get away with many of the things other war time president have gotten away with?The problem with this war is we have been trying to fight it just the opposite way, by minimizing collateral damage, by not attacking the enemy when they hide in Mosques. We are trying to fight the enemy and not offend them at the same time.
