Bloggers Infiltrate A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition Meeting

Yesterday the bloggers of Vital Perspective talked their way into an Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (A.N.S.W.E.R.) meeting at the radical group's Washington DC headquarters. There Juan Jose Gutierrez told them that illegal immigrants are "slaves", and that "Abraham Lincoln was a racist."

1 I don't really have an argument against comparing illegals to slaves; there have certainly been enough cases of that. What I'd prefer to do, though, is shut down the slave trade and repatriate the victims.

6 Great point, Robert. I'm stealing that retort! Why aren't any of the moonbats or re-conquistadors angry at Spain or Portugal or France or Britain for settling North America and carving it into territories long before the US was even an idea? The US purchased these lands from the conquistadors and French and fought a few wars with the Brits and French to gain sovereignty. I refuse to forget the labors that men far greater than the ones currently in Congress undertook to create our nation. Ninety-five percent of all slaves imported to the New World were imported by Spain, Portugal, France, and to a lesser degree, Britain. We inherited their crimes and fought a civil war to correct the problem. I have never owned a slave, nor has anyone I know for a long time. I refuse to feel guilty.

March 2001 Document: Saddam Regime Recruits Suicide Terrorists to Hit US Interests (Translation)

Another great find by jveritas our friendly translation workhorse who is tirelessly deciphering the 40,000+ released govt. documents one at a time. Here we have additional evidence that Saadam was actively searching for terrorists to "strike American interests"

Page 6 from document BIAP 2003-000654 is a Top Secret letter dated March/11/2001 six months prior to 9/11/2001, proves that not only Saddam Regime supported terrorists organization like Hamas and Al Qaeda as we have learned from other documents but also they were recruiting Suicide Terrorist Bombers to hit US interests. Saddam Regime was a TERRORIST REGIME and there was no other way but to destroy it after 9/11.

NASCAR Not Pleased With NBC Dateline

Yesterday, I posted about the sleazy attempt to create news by NBC Dateline, by sending Muslim ringers to NASCAR events, hoping to provoke and secretly videotape some juicy anti-Islamic reactions from NASCAR fans (Kudos to Michelle Malkin for letting this nasty little cat out of the bag).

NASCAR officials are not pleased that the NBC News division is hoping to make buffoons out of their fans. more...

1 All NBC needs is for one bubba to do a double take, and one of the a-rabs to say it made him feel "tense", and NBC has their story.

Posted by: Jesusland Carlos at April 05, 2006 10:09 PM (8e/V4)

2 Carlos, please don't refer to Southerners as "Bubbas", it's insulting and condescending. I don't insult your people, and I ask the same of you. Now, having said that; they must think these good old boys won't go sideways on them in a hearbeat if they want to start some crap. If muslims cause us trouble, they'll get a war of extermination, because we don't like anyone causing trouble, and especially not some damn parasitic foreigners who think we should kiss their asses. If they start a war, they won't be able to live in any part of the South for too long, except maybe Florida and Atlanta. We're sick of everyone telling us how we should be and what we should do. We're generally civilized people, and most of us treat anyone as they treat us, and we're more polite than anyone else in the country on average. This is why so many people are moving to the South, and if they make good neighbors, they're welcome to live here, but if not, they're welcome to leave. The muslims are welcome to leave.

10 Actus, you need to sit this one out because you don't know what you're talking about. IM you are so right about southerners. Contrary to popular belief, there is less racism in the rural south than there is in any urban setting anywhere in the country. Far less. The people are much friendlier and neighbors help each other out with no expectations. I would ask one thing though in regards to Florida. North Florida is quite different than South Florida. So when referring to us Floridians, that distinction must be made. South Florida is a bastion of liberalism and lefties. We in North Florida are "southerners". We still know what hospitality is and what it means to have manners.

Oyster: You're right, North Florida is the home of Lynyrd Skynyrd, et al, and you just can't get more Southern than that. My apologies. And Rectus: Bubba is Southern for mensch? Wow, two complete misses with one shot!

17 What the hell, I don't mind NBC going to a NASCAR race, even if it is for baiting purposes Â— with a few conditions. First, if they're really going to "prove" something (and I use the term loosely), let's not limit it to "flag-wavin' Southern redneck" events; do the same thing at Fenway, at a West-Coast PGA tournament, at a Midwestern Six Flags amusement park, and any place else where large numbers of people gather. Then one could at least draw some slightly - and only slightly - more legit (for TV news anyway) conclusions. Seriously, wouldn't it be revealing if the "A-rabs" got their lynching at The Masters rather than The Brickyard?

Posted by: Eric at April 06, 2006 09:18 AM (UHKaK)

18 Well, I would like to see NBC go to a few mosques here in the US and see if there is any hate literature around. Or listen in to one of the imams when he thinks all the infidels are gone. Now that would be interesting, and it also might give all those NASCAR fans something to worry about, as a terrorist bombing by radical Muslims is much more likely than an attack on a Muslim by NASCAR fans. I doubt whether actus and his ilk would be very concerned about a terrorist attack at a NASCAR event anyway. They would probably say serves them right. That king of hate is what drives these NBC bigots to target NASCAR in the first place.

Posted by: jesusland joe at April 06, 2006 09:28 AM (rUyw4)

19 What would be interesting if they sent someone in the NBC news studios with a W. or Newt shirt on and see the abuse and discrimination. Or even send in someone with an american flag or a cross on their shirt. They would be treated much worse than any muslim at NASCAR.

Posted by: Mike Clement at April 06, 2006 09:44 AM (0WGup)

20 I don't know about any of these examples, they're all conjecture, but if NBC is trying to prove bigotry at the typical NASCAR event, and they show that a Muslim got his ass kicked by asking directions to the can or something, it'll mean nothing unless the same thing takes place at other events deemed less "Southern." If NBC is smart, they'll spread the experiment around.

Posted by: Eric at April 06, 2006 09:52 AM (UHKaK)

21 I was listening to Â“The HerdÂ” on ESPN this am and they were talking about this. I guess it is true. Hard to believe NBC would put their NASCAR investment in jeopardy to appease Rock Phillips and his arrogant pals in the news division. NASCAR fans are very loyal to the sponsors and go out of their way to buy the goods and services advertised on the cars. Reason enough for these companies to pay all that money to get their name on the hood. IÂ’m sure the reverse of this will be true as well. Any company dumb enough to buy airtime for Dateline will probably feel it in the pocketbook. Note to NBC: If you want to see real discrimination and intolerance, park an SUV with Â“WÂ” and Â“Abortion is MurderÂ” bumper stickers around the green lake area of Seattle and leave it for a day. Pick up the rig at 5 and see how tolerant the left really is.

23 WHAT THE F***!!! And NBC was trying to get more NASCAR coverage in recent contract talks? I guess if you can't win, just resort to tactics like the LOWLIFE SCUM at Dateline. Not to worry NBC, DISH and DIRECT TV offer so much more than you could ever hope to. As far as the races go, I'll just listen to the on MRN or PRN via local radio and not hassle with the BS provided by the hosts. By the way, that means that I won't be observing all of those high price ads from the sponsors. Sorry!! One last jab: NBC=NOTHING BUT CRAP! Fitting, don't you think?

Posted by: NASCARFAN at April 06, 2006 01:14 PM (aGfEe)

24 Oyster, the term "Florida Cracker" is in reference to the old Florida cowboys who rounded up the wild cattle left by the Spanish; apparently they used bullwhips like the Australians instead of lariats like the Western cowboys, and so were "whipcrackers". The term "cracker" applied by blacks to Southen whites in general also refers to whipcrackers, but as slave masters, not cattle drivers. I could be wrong, but what research I've done, including talking to a couple of old-timers, bears this out.

Come on NBC, have some guts for once, in your made up for news programing charade. Send some white boys to Mecca. See how far you get. Send some American servicemen into Japanese bars in Tokyo. The Japanese won't serve them, and tell them to leave. They are not welcome. "No American's," they smile, as they tell you to leave. They even kick out the blacks. They are equal oportunity rascists. There's some NBC rascist stories for you. At least we let them into the race. That's more than I can say for the Muslims with Mecca, and the Japanese with their Bars.

Illegal Gets Wrist Slap in Fatal Crash

(West Palm Beach, Florida) Some people are more equal than others.

From Miami.com:

A circuit judge accepted 21-year-old Daniel Rodriguez Mendoza's plea deal Monday morning against the wishes of the dead woman's family, who wanted him to serve as much as life in prison.
Mendoza, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, pleaded guilty to two felonies -- driving without a license and leaving the scene of an accident that resulted in a death -- and will essentially end his six-month stint at the Palm Beach County jail and stockade for the Sept. 25 accident that killed Kimberly Jo Dahmer, 42.

On four previous occasions, international trespasser Mendoza was cited for driving without a license. This time, someone died. As a result, he gets six months and deportation. The jail term is a gift and the deportation is a nothing. Even at his young age, Mendoza probably has more visits to the border than your typical Taco Bell customer.

I see it happening more and more often. Illegal aliens are either not prosecuted for crimes or they are treated leniently. Maybe it's because the number of illegal aliens in the U.S. just grows and grows. Nonetheless, it makes no sense for the justice system to view illegals differently from actual American citizens. Pretty soon, actual Americans would be well advised to just say "No speakie English" on all traffic stops. It's a free pass.

2 I just do not get the logic. Repeat offender finally kills an innocent victim -- and he gets time served? Let's take the immigration status out of the equation. That is just wrong. But to deport him so he can come back is attrocious!

Posted by: Rhymes With Right at April 05, 2006 05:53 PM (O/XaS)

3 As a conservative immigration attorney I need to weigh in on this. In this particular case the alien is guilty of what's called an "aggravated felony" under immigration law. After he is deported ("removed" is the technical term post 1996), he can NEVER come back to the USA legally. If he returns and is caught, he faces up to 20 years in federal prison. And the Feds DO prosecute these matters. I had one case where we were asked to defend a guy from Honduras who returned to see his newborn child. Only problem was he had a conviction for having sex with another, underage female, and had previously been removed for it. When he was caught, he wound up getting sentenced by a federal judge to three years. The Feds especially don't like violent criminals coming back in violation of prior removal orders.

Posted by: Redhand at April 05, 2006 06:15 PM (9HAsW)

4 Wow, three years in the slammer is REAL punishment for statutory rape. I think 30 years would have been more like it, and hard labor at that. Perhaps these illegals would decide the US was not such a gravy train after all. Wasn't there a recent case in Denver where an illegal alien murdered a police officer? And other cases in California where illegals are committing felonies that either go unpunished or they get favorable treatment.

9 Wow, three years in the slammer is REAL punishment for statutory rape. You misunderstand. He did whatever time he had for the statutory rape, then was deported. His crime was crossing the border back into the USA with a prior statutory rape conviction, and for that he got three years. I'm not saying this to elicit sympathy for the guy, just to tell you what happened.

Posted by: rob at April 06, 2006 10:42 AM (QpkBe)

15 This creation of a two tiered legal system is (among) the issues worth rising up and shuting down the system over. I sit in court repeatedly and see illegals (non English speakers) given interpreters, heard first ahead of citizens and receiving half or less fines than citizens and less time or no time served compared to us sucker tax payors. THEY SHOULD BE DEPORTED STRAIGHT OUT OF THE COURTHOUSES and any other gathering areas where they can be found. In this two tier system being shoved down our throats the people with the real drivers licenses and the permanent addresses are the ones being screwed the most. ARE YOU WILLING TO LEAVE THIS FOR YOUR CHILDREN??? Those of us that are "law abiding citizens" have become patsys to pay for the destruction of the system - we're suckers! We are funding the beaureaucraps to F**k us and we are to stupid, lazy or fearful to say anything about it. Illegals are planning to shut down the country on May day, I ask all true Americans, all lovers of the constitution to realize that the country is being lost NOW - this year. We may not have long to take it back. We have (almost) no representation - No matter your party your alleged representatives represent themselves and some apparent goal to dilute the value of your US citizenship and tax you and regulate you into serfdom. Cameras everywhere - large fines - mandatory sentences - tax increases to fund the insatiable apatite of government, but this surveilence and the loss of freedoms only applies to citizens - illegal aliens - felons by definition, get a pass. We need a wall, we need troops on the border, we need undocumented aliens deported upon discovery, we need a heavy fine for employers hiring illegals with a bounty paid for turning them in and we need to end completely moslem imigration to name some simple common sense URGENT starting points. I'm watching for suggestions for depriving the parties, the "representatives", the governments of money and cooperation in a meaningful way. Are we so apathetic that we will leave a third world service economy and a shredded constitution to our children? I spit on the "representatives". Their agenda is not in the interest of my children.

17 It's clear what's going to happen; the government is going to let things get out of control, and even contribute to the mess, until the people have had enough, and then they may pretend to act on it, but by then it will be too late. It's already too late. Pretty soon the only way to deal with this invasion will be to start killing them wherever they are found.

Iran Goes Disney With Stealth MIRV Platform, Underwater Missles, And - Now A 'Flying Boat'?

Via Captain Ed, we learn that the imagination continues to run wild in the Iranian mullahcracy - with (in addition to their religious dogma) the Iranians having announced successful tests, unverified by outside sources, of a stealth MIRV platform, a sonar-evading underwater missile that travels so fast that the cavitation alone would make it easily identified, and now a stealth 'flying boat', which they insist cannot be detected by radar.

Apparently, the Revolutionary Guards, the elite branch of Iran's military, have been holding their maneuvers -- code-named the "Great Prophet" - since Friday, touting what they call domestically built technological advances in their armed forces. If these people weren't so dangerous, they'd be nothing less than comical. It's hard to believe that these people are adults, they're more like children living in a child's world.

1 They are the hispanic equivalent of white supremacists. The difference is that the Left has convinced the country that minorities are allowed to be racist. Something about minorities being historically victimized. And as we already know and have discussed on this blog at length, the only morality the Left recognizes is the morality of weak vs strong, poor vs rich. In other words, racism is actually moral when practiced by the "weak."

2 That is a disgusting post. Of course you did not do any research into exactly how popular those racist, idiotic organizations are - or else you'd have not made the insulting claim that such is what the illegals "really want." These organizations are emancipated skeletons staffed by retards, not some big power player in the hispanic community, as you seem to wish to imply. They're practically nonexistant as a power in Texas and back in Los Angeles the only time I saw Mecha was a local campus club - which had a half dozen people in it total. Frankly its disgusting even by blogger standards to see such ignorance tossed out as fact. I know you'd like to knee-jerk against any illegal immigrant and stereotype them as some sort of evil terrorist/communist/traitor, but the facts of reality do not bear you out - at all. In the future, I would request you do not talk out of your ass and claim you know whats the illegal immigrants in America "really want." I'd expect this kind of thing from Kos, maybe, but I'm severely annoyed that Rusty has some joker on his website posting such nonsense.

6 Hey, did I miss something in history class? I thought that whole region, actually, the entire North American region, was populated prior to the Spanish conquestadors, and other motley europeans. So, wouldn't Azatlan be just as bad to the native americans as the US is to the chicana/os? I mean, it's obvious that these folks are full of shit, I just was curious how high they are planning to pile the overflow.

11 Sadly, too many high school students donÂ’t know the difference between legal and illegal immigration. But itÂ’s not surprising, because their teachers and the news media call illegal aliens Â‘immigrantsÂ’ and Â‘undocumented workersÂ’. Legal immigration means Americans are making conscious choices about who they admit for citizenship, illegal immigration is simply an invasion. The students who are walking out of school and protesting today should really be asking themselves why their cities and states encourage illegal immigration by offering benefits to illegal aliens. ThatÂ’s a slap in the face to every legal immigrant who waited in line for their chance to come to America. My name is Michael Class. I live in the Seattle area with my wife and two children. I am a retired "dot-com" executive who just couldn't sit by and let the mis-education of our youth go unchallenged anymore. I wrote, photographed, and published a book designed to set the record straight, to properly prepare our children for the future. My book is called Anthony and the Magic Picture Frame. In the book, my real-life son, twelve-year-old Anthony, time-travels to 1907 and meets his immigrant great-grandfather at Ellis Island. Anthony listens as officials question the new arrivals and document their intentions in the United States. Anthony witnesses the personal impact of immigration policy: He sees some people turned away at AmericaÂ’s door, causing families to split up. It's a harsh lesson: The purpose of immigration policy is to discriminate, to make choices about the people we want to admit to the United States. Even when admitted to the United States, Anthony learns that life in the new land is anything but certain. AnthonyÂ’s great-grandfather masters the language of America - English - and works his way through school, only to end up in the trenches of World War I, and then back in America during the Great Depression. Eventually, he starts a business, rises from poverty, and raises a family. To tell the story of America's earlier immigration experience, I used advanced digital photography to insert Anthony into historical photographs. And I didnÂ’t stop with family history: Anthony meets famous American heroes and witnesses pivotal events of the 20th century. Anthony is pictured in the cockpit of the Spirit of St. Louis with Charles Lindbergh, on the moon with Neil Armstrong, in the laboratories of Thomas Edison and Jonas Salk, and on Normandy beach on D-Day (see photos at:Ã‚Â www.MagicPictureFrame.com). Throughout the book, historical accuracy rules: Even AnthonyÂ’s conversations with AmericaÂ’s heroes are based on things they really said. While writing and photographing the book, I spoke with relatives of famous scientists and inventors, Holocaust survivors, award-winning biographers, and others who could help me ensure that the facts of the book were both accurate and vivid. The book includes more than 500 footnotes. But the book goes beyond a simple recitation of historical facts: the book presents the moral lessons of American history. The chapter about LindberghÂ’s flight is really about choosing oneÂ’s destiny. The story of Lou Gehrig is one of a virtuous life. The chapter about Thomas Edison is really about business. The story of Apollo 11 is about wonder, taking risks, and courage. The story of Dr. Jonas Salk and the cure for polio is really about dedicating oneÂ’s life to a higher purpose. AnthonyÂ’s observation of D-Day and the liberation of the death camps during the Holocaust is a testament to the reality of evil and the need to fight it. Back to the immigration issue: When Anthony meets his immigrant great-grandfather at Ellis Island, itÂ’s really a story about what it means to be an American. AnthonyÂ’s great-grandfather says: Â“I became an American because I believe in America, and itÂ’s my belief in America that makes me an American.Â” Anthony comes to realize the simple truth of the statement, and remarks: Â“America is an idea as much as it is a place. I am no different than my great-grandfather and all the immigrants who came to this land: I can only be an American by choice.Â” It's not an easy book. The book challenges the reader to see the modern world in the light of the lessons of the past. We can't afford to raise a generation of Americans who do not value their country, their heritage, and their place in the world. As Abraham Lincoln said: America is the "last best hope of earth."

12 This raises a couple of questions for me.. 1) Will they reject Spainish as their language? that was introduces by the Spainards WAYYY back in the 1500 and 1600s or so.. 2) Will they reject Christianity as well and revert back to human sacrifice like that Aztecs did? Okay, so maybe not the human sacrifice.. (insert your own virgin joke here) (copied from above) 1) We are Chicanas and Chicanos of AztlÃƒÂ¡n reclaiming the land of our birth (Chicana/Chicano Nation); 2) AztlÃƒÂ¡n belongs to indigenous people, who are sovereign and not subject to a foreign culture

13 http://www.l*times.com/news/printedition/la-na-bush2apr02,0,3846108.story?page=3 Four years later, Sosa produced a variation of that video for the 2004 campaign that was mailed to Latino voters across the country. The video includes images that would probably rile those who today are calling for the most restrictive immigration laws. At one point, Bush is shown waving a Mexican flag. The footage was shot, Sosa said, during a Mexican Independence Day parade in San Antonio in 1998, when Bush was running for reelection as governor. The five-minute video, narrated by Bush, opens with an image of him fishing on his property near Crawford, Texas, as he essentially described millions of Americans who populate his home state as the true foreigners in someone else's native land. "About 15 years before the Civil War, much of the American West was northern Mexico," Bush says in the video. "The people who lived there weren't called Latinos or Hispanics. They were Mexican citizens, until all that land became part of the United States. "After that, many of them were treated as foreigners in their own land," Bush adds. He says the "Latino spirit" was fueled by "strong conservative values" of family, a strong work ethic, faith in God, patriotism and personal responsibility. "These values are my values," Bush says. "I live by them, and I lead by them."

14 The Aztecs never ventured as far north as the Mexican border. Like Rome, in the day, they ran operations from their capital and extracted rents from tribes as many and distant as possible. Unlike the Romans, they weren't that big into road building: Cortez found nothing but trails. Not surprisingly, they didn't establish garrisons like the Romans, either. Bottom line: they didn't have that big of an empire.... It did not ever extend up into the dry deserts up north. It took the Spanish crown to provide any political linkage. It took the missionaries to provide ANY cultural linkage. Like the Aryan cultural history this one is totally fabricated. It's appeal to blood and land does come from Nazism. Reconquista needs to be slapped down all the way.

Posted by: blert at April 05, 2006 04:06 PM (MKbty)

15 >>>Reconquista needs to be slapped down all the way. The problem is that the Reconquista is not an armed movement that we can blow up with some bombs. It's a demographic explosion in slow motion that by the time we realize it's a problem it's too late. I worry that too many will come too fast for them to assimilate to OUR ways-- instead they'll just bring Mexico with them and turn us into a third world country. But I am grateful that Mexicans aren't violent religious fanatics of the variety currently overwhelming Europe from the middle east. That's the one thing we have going for us that the Euros don't. Latin Americans are not violent fanatics. They are good christians inculcated in Western values. They're a fairly passive people too, of good values and good work ethic when given the chance. So it's not all doom and gloom. It's the Leftists who want to use them that I want dead.

Posted by: Jesusland Carlos at April 05, 2006 06:45 PM (8e/V4)

16 Be careful what you ask for. What do they think southern California will turn into if they turn it into Mexico? Come to think of it, perhaps the easiest way to deport most of the illegals is to just build a new fence with them on the other side of it. In that case, everyone wins. They get 'their' land back, and we reassert our authority over our borders. Maybe not. One the US left that land, everyone would be very eager to get the hell out of there just like they are from the rest of Mexico.

23 No, Andre, we shouldn't nuke Mexico, but rather just take it. I'm sure most Mexicans wouldn't mind since they pretty much all here now anyway, and then they wouldn't have to sneak back and forth at the risk of their lives, and they would actually get a less corrupt government. Well, somewhat less corrupt.

Posted by: Improbulus Maximus at April 06, 2006 01:32 PM (0yYS2)

24 IM, I agree. We could take over Mexico, change their corrupt system, and then Mexicans would no longer have to leave their country. These Leftwing immigration activistas are actually enabling Mexican corruption and the exploitation of their "indigena" brethren south of the border.

26 Talk about racist, look at the site www.aztlan.net. It is very anti-American and anti-semitic and very racist and very evil.

Posted by: Go Home at April 09, 2006 05:07 PM (IBaij)

27 Hey guys, i found this site via google news! I actually think its great that everyone is discussing this... because the truth only comes out when enough people question what has been stated as fact right? As far as "Mexicans taking over the land" i think its a joke, it'll most likely never happen. (You can never say never and never say always). But, what has been outlined in that aztlan (where did that come from anyways?) more or less actually depicts what used to be considered "mexican territory." Someone also stated that the capital is in Mexico City, far from "the border" (with the US). That is correct, but it is a little known fact that the "Aztecs" which were the predominent society, did rule that far. It is also sad to say that they didn't treat "native americans" (those we call indians in the US) very well either. But, because of their "advanced civilization" they did pick on them. For those of you who question what an advnaced society is, compare the aztecs to the romans in that they were HUGE because of their civil engineering and agriculture areas as well as in other areas. Now, to clarify, many look at mexico like its a country on the same level as one in africa. Mexico is really a different world that is most definitly not comparable to a "real 3rd world country." If you want to play the angle of "technically, yes it is" then i can say, The united states is not one of the largest economies in the world (as a whole), that is soley the west coast of the US, and more exclusively, California (which at least a few years back it was the 3rd largest individual economy in the world). And that is fact. Treat "those people like crap" and you can only imagine what'll happen to the rest of the US. Anyhow, Everything would be so much better if people kept asking questions and actually knew their history... "history is written by those who win." Many don't know what really happened when mexico "sold their territory to the US." I don't think it matters now. But what does is this, someone said "Do they even speak aztec?" Well, maybe not the actual aztec language, but there are still MANY 'native languages' spoken in mexico. As there were many different types of peoples living in its land. So if these people causing an uproar to "take the power back" are 2nd-3rd......10th generation "mexicans" i don't think they have any basis to claim anything. I myself am 1st generation "mexican american." Once your family has been in the country more than 1 gen you intigrate much better. Almost ALL 2nd gen and down that i've come across don't even speak spanish anymore! My father was a chemicle engineer sent to new york, and then relocated to Los Angeles. We 'migrated' legally. And to be honest, i've had racist teachers who left me with physical life long disabilities. I'm not crying about it, but i do know for a FACT that this 'stuff' still exists. So i say, "don't try to take back what is lost" but do say, "we have to learn to live with eachother or else everyone loses." Its that simple! And for those who claim "what racisim? i'm white, i get discriminated more than whoever else..." All i have to say is, when did the signs come down from public businesses that said "No dogs or niggers allowed"... and these are facts backed up by PICTURES. Can't we all get a long? - Rodney king I've moved on, i'm sure these others who want to be proud of something can too. That doesn't mean shut up and sit down, like a teacher used to tell us!

Posted by: Xavier at April 09, 2006 08:47 PM (9n7+q)

28 Just so you know, Aztlan was the land the Mexica people had before they were called Aztecs and before they founded Tenochtitlan on what it is now Mexico City. Aztec means "People from Aztlan" in Nahuatl, their native language. Aztlan was located, according to their legends, somewhere at the north of what later on would be Mexico, where now is California, Arizona, Nevada, and New Mexico. They left Aztlan searching for the "promised land", which would be revealed to them by an omen from their gods. That omen turned out to be an eagle eating up a serpent standing over a nopal tree. The legend was recovered during the independence and is still on the mexican flag. So Aztlan was really on the north, just before Tenochtitlan was even there. That being said, let me say I was born in the US from mexican parents and I think this whole "chicano" thing is just bad. If "chicanos" want to have their mexican ways they can very well return to Mexico. If they want to be in the US they better start working and adapting themselves to the society they want to belong. I am no chicano, I don't undestand that word and I don't share their views. I am a Mexican-American. And I will work and obey the law wherever I am and feeling proud of what I am. I am not a land-less person, I am a child of both worlds and I feel comfortable calling both home. I've been called "gringo" by my mexican relatives and "beaner" by my american friends and it doesn't bother me. I am both. So please stop the nonsense and let's get to work together. Taking sides it's just stupid and divides us.

WTW Missed the Rig But

I promised Jesusland Joe I would get us a pic of the rig for WTW. But I missed it. This is good because first of all the hole was a hit. Second because they got the rig moved before the roads went soft and got posted. So the flare was not as good as I hoped for a new well I did get a pic of the new pump jack and tank batteries. I reckon I should have been at bit closer to the pump jack looking at the pics now.

Aztlan: What the Illegals Really Want

Wormed into the very heart of the illegal immigrant "civil rights" movement is the concept of Aztlan, and people like Hector Carreon. Carreon's La Voz de Aztlan (The Voice of Aztlan) is one of the network of subversive websites that helped organize the recent marches in several US cities.

What is Aztlan?
The dateline from this article by Carreon about an "Immigrant Sanctuary" voted in by useful idiots on the city council of Coachella, CA reads [emphasis added]: "Los Angeles, Alta California - March 24, 2006" more...

1 It's about time Jawa blogged Aztlan. Aztlanists are right up there with islamic terrorists on my shit list. What they want would lead to nothing short of bloody ethnic violence and civil war. And to them, patriotic hispanics like me are "vendidos"-- we are sold out to whitey. So I'm right up there on their shit list too if they ever take over.

2 As an 8th generation Californian(Family sailed around the horn almost 200 years ago) I think someone should give these guys a history lesson. Russia took California away from France (yes France, Mexico and its states were a French colony for several hundred years!) in the 18th century. James K Polk sent Captain Freemont to San Francisco ( The Othodox Catholic name given the city by the Russians in the 18th century, the Mexican name for SF was Yerba Buena)to tell the Russians not to interfere with our plebiscite in 1848 (We actually had an effective intelligence agency back then and Knox Polk knew about the gold 2 years before the rest of the world) The Russians and the Bolsheviks hated America for 150 years becaus of this. It is also why the French gave Jefferson the Louisiana territory for such a low price; they knew they could not defend it and something was better than nothing. Of course many of the people who believe "America" took California away from "Mexico" also believe 911 was a Mossad operation and all the Jews stayed home from work that day! They make up history to suit their agendum.

3 Can you imagine the nightmare if the Mexican-American border didn't just run along the southern states and instead ran all the way up through Arizona, Utah and north of there? By now they would be demanding Oklahoma, Kansas and Iowa. And if anyone thinks they were any kinder to native indians, they've got another thing coming.

5 Subject: What will the future "Populist Vote" be like??? The problem is that years of government inaction on enforcing our laws and of having virtually open borders, have bred a "false sense of security," and an attitude of "arrogance" in most of these illegal Mexicans and Central Americans, such as that of the man interviewed on the Spanish speaking TV network, Univision, who has already been deported "eight" times back to El Salvador, and yet says "he will keep coming back," nonchalantly with a snicker of indifference on his face; or that of Jorge Ramos the Univision TV anchor, and Jaime Rodriguez, self proclaimed "organizer" of the LA demonstrations and the forthcoming May 1st protests, who have repeatedly retorted in TV interviews to critics of the "Amnesty" Legislation so many are trying to shove down our collective throats in Washington, "defiantly" and with a smirk of "in your face" smugness on their faces: "So, we are here now America, and we are going nowhere. What are you going to do about it ???" confident in their "hubris" that we will either find it too controversial, or inhumane, or politically incorrect, won't have the rersolve, or just won't have "the balls," to simply begin to enforce our laws, actively crackdown on illegal immigrants, and systematically deport them, as well we should!!! From what we have witnessed over the last two weeks with American flags being flown upside-down beneath Mexican flags, and Mexican flags being hoisted in our schools, the "this is our land" posters, and the "Che Guevara," "It's time for revolution" T-shirts worn by all the "La Raza" and "Aztlan" sympathizers whose professed goal is to symply overrun us demographically to in effect take back the American Southwest, and indeed the rest of the US, by fiat of their sheer numbers reflected in the "populist vote"; any person not blinded by "saccharine idealism," or "political ideology" can discern that many of these people have the least desire to "integrate" and or "assimilate" into our society, which they hate in principle as having "exploited" them and robbed them (Mexico) of their land, and which in their minds many have come to equate to their former "Spanish Overlords," whom they have been taught to despise for generations, but rather on asserting their "national identities and customs," and imposing their "culture" on us!!! As I have stated before in other posts, in a chilling analogy, viruses infect a Â“hostÂ” cell, by destroying its DNA and supplanting it with their own, which then goes on to turn out more copies of the invading virus. In a similar manner, if the shade of the things to come does not change...that may very well be the fate of America, and we will become just another "Mestizo" (those of mixed indian-spanish descent comprising 98% of the population of these countries) "Banana Republic," or an "extension of Mexico" as in the "Republica del Norte" Aztlan dreams.... God only knows that even today, standing on a street corner of many of our major cities, one would think he was in "Michoacan" or "Tegucigalpa," instead of on a street in America!!! Althor

That is a disgusting post. Of course you did not do any research into exactly how popular those racist, idiotic organizations are - or else you'd have not made the insulting claim that such is what the illegals "really want." These organizations are emancipated skeletons staffed by retards, not some big power player in the hispanic community, as you seem to wish to imply. They're practically nonexistant as a power in Texas and back in Los Angeles the only time I saw Mecha was a local campus club - which had a half dozen people in it total. Frankly its disgusting even by blogger standards to see such ignorance tossed out as fact. I know you'd like to knee-jerk against any illegal immigrant and stereotype them as some sort of evil terrorist/communist/traitor, but the facts of reality do not bear you out - at all. In the future, I would request you do not talk out of your ass and claim you know whats the illegal immigrants in America "really want." I'd expect this kind of thing from Kos, maybe, but I'm severely annoyed that Rusty has some joker on his website posting such nonsense. Santiago

Posted by: The Dread Pundit Bluto at April 05, 2006 08:47 AM (RHG+K)

9 Santiago is correct. Most hispanics have probably never even heard of Aztlan or Mecha. It's the equivalent of the marxist International Answer organizing a march and 10,000 useful idiot Liberals showing up. Two separate groups, yes. But they are like two separates hands that wash each other. I think it's valid to know what role Aztlanists have in ORGANIZING these rallies. Blog that, Bluto.

10 Annexation of Mexico ItÂ’s time has come, Annexation may be to strong a word, but, as with Puerto Rico, A commonwealth may be the answer. Think of it, if Mexico were to become a commonwealth of the United States, the questions concerning our borders would be eliminated (or at least moved further south). We could then Utilize their resources creating a state that is self-sufficient and a productive partner of the United States

15 For my own part, I don't have anything against Hispanics in general; in fact I like the hell out of them, because they're generally honest, decent, hardworking people and make good friends and neighbors, but I won't have any sonofabitch from here or anywhere else telling me they're going to take part of my country. We're going to have to hang a lot of muslims and liberals pretty soon, and if there's any La Raza assholes want it too, rope is plentiful and cheap.

16 john ryan, if 500,000 illegal alien Irishmen show up waving their Irish flags, we'll have a problem with them too. Show some fucking respect in other people's country. Funny how Libtards like john ryan, who apologize for illegal alien disgustingly rude behaviour, are the first to criticize Americans overseas because they are "loud and obnoxious". John ryan, but not nearly as loud and obnoxious as people coming to our country and waving their foreign flags.

Posted by: Jesusland Carlos at April 05, 2006 10:35 AM (8e/V4)

17 Not to mention having the arrogance and audacity to take advantage of our lax enforcement of our immigration laws to go rally, half a million of them ("two million" acording to Javier Rodriguez, one of the organizers...yeah, right!), "demanding" that we naturalize them, flaunting their "illegal" status, and their Mexican flags, with impunity in our faces, chanting anti-American slogans, and basically telling us by their brazen actions, as did Jorge Ramos, the news anchor from the spanish speaking channel Univision, on the Lou Dobb interview: "They are here, they're not leaving, and what are you going to do about it?" with a cynical smirk of "hubris" on his face, confident in his view that the American people are too "politically correct," "effeminate," and "skittish," to have the "cojones" to just round them all up and send them packing back to Mexico where they belong!!! Politicians in Washington have a "vested" interest in keeping these influx of illegal aliens flowing into the country. We the People should take note of every politician, be it Senator Mc Cain (who perhaps it would have been better for us all, had he and his huge "ego" stayed back in the Hanoi Hilton,rather than all the mischief he keeps causing here in America in the Senate), or Senator Kennedy (you know if he supports something, it must be "bad" for America!), Republican, or Democrat, and "Vote Out of Office" all those who want to sell us out again, and are voting to shove down our throats this illegal invasion "AMNESTY" under whatever guise or name, such as "Guest Worker Program," they may push it or call it! It is about time in Congress, that they DO REFLECT the will of the people they "ostensibly" represent in Washington, and REALLY secure our border, enforce our Laws to begin with, and send these illegal aliens back as most Americans want. Period!!! We need more workers??? Overturn "Roe v. Wade," and start "making" Americans, here in the USA for a change, instead of "aborting them"! And in twenty years time we'll have all the workers we need!!! It is appalling that we've gotten to the point where we are even "outsourcing" that most basic function for the survival of any species or organism...."reproduction"!!!! We are getting ours from Mexico now to replenish our aging population!!! Althor

Iran Unveils Seagoing Magic Carpet

Via We report, you deride (stein hoist to LGF):

TEHRAN, Iran Â— Iran said Tuesday it had tested what it called a "super-modern flying boat" capable of evading radar. State TV showed a brief clip of the boat's launch.
"Due to its advanced design, no radar at sea or in the air can detect it. It can lift out of the water," the television said. It said the boat was "all Iranian-made and can launch missiles with precise targeting while moving."

Lessee, in the past week we've had stealth missiles, super-duper speedy torpedoes (sure, they could have bought some from the Russians, but my guess is they just bought stock footage of the Russians testing one and edited it.), and now this.

I'm almost afraid to guess what might come next. I may rupture something laughing about it.

In the interest of the hard hitting citizen journalism you've come to expect, I have actually obtained an authentic photo of the mullah's new toy: more...

9 One of the things that sucks about Vietnam is that just as we were figuring out how to effectively fight the VC and beat them at their own game Congress said it was time to turn everything over to ARVN, who screwed things up royally. I have trouble being afraid of the airboat. It looks like a kit-built personal seaplane to me. Even if it wasn't supposed to be stealth, that engine on top would still probably have a bigger radar profile than the entire rest of the aircraft. With all these Iranian weapons announcements I sense something like Saddam's 'perfect' GPS jammers that were supposed to stop us from dropping our GPS bombs...which we destroyed with GPS guided bombs

Posted by: Ranba Ral at April 05, 2006 03:23 PM (GyNTD)

21 Forget about the military effectiveness of these vengence weapons. Pay attention to the mentality of throwing money at these schemes. There are many other projects beyond these. Iran is in a hot-war spending mode. Never forget that. Their war has long been started. It's what's hanging up Baghdad politics. BTW that super-cativating torpedo is designed for a snap shot nuclear warhead. That's why a straight course is quite acceptable. It would be placed at a choke point. Upon command, it would race to target with a weapon so powerful that manuever or counter action is meaningless. Iran is not going to be able to bring it to sea, but she doesn't have to. A sea-skimming profile is in fact very hard to detect. Just because a plane is slow does not mean that it can't penetrate. During the Korean War we had to bring back a prop plane to get rid of a night raiding all-wood BIPLANE that did not ping the radar. Hiding the engines under the wing root creates a VERY stealthy machine. With a little Russian technical assistance, they could have a real 'sleeper'. Pairing up a nuclear, ultra-high speed torpedo with flying boat would create a viable threat to a carrier. Our close in defenses can't stop the torpedo once launched. Catching a blacked out stealth plane riding just above the water is quite a challenge. Even the 'crackpot' German late-war schemes had technical merit. The ME-163 did shoot down our bombers. Given just a little more time to perfect it, it would have been unstoppable. Practically a piloted bullet, it was. You have to be concerned about a fanatic fatalistic cult that so prizes martial suicide. What if the Iranians just start ramming our pilots? Ramming tactics were used in WWII by Japan, Russia and Germany against bombers. Figure F-4 Phantom II's to be a serious threat in this way. Running on after-burners that baby can really go. The mullahs have played their cards very well until now. I have to respect them. We're absolutely NOT dealing with idiot-retards. Nothing is certain in war, especially nuclear war. Let's not get overconfident. They already have the bomb. The questions are: how many and where?

The answer is, the Bush folks are so deluded that they think Bush's reelection was a vote not only for the Iraq War but for the neoconservatives who hatched it. And those neoconservatives are in a hurry to accomplish their goals before Bush's four years are up. "This is the last hurrah," , Delusion plus recklessness plus enormous power is going to equal disaster in Iran, even more so than in Iraq.

28 I am a patriotic person. If the US decides to go to Iran, we will be crippling ourselves. I served in the Armed Forces and am an ex-serviceman. IranÂ’s national capabilities in the region are up to par with ours. TYhey have the best military force in the region, are modernized, and an educated nation. They possess weapons made to take down our battle ships for which we have no defense. They have an intrnational intellegence and spy network. Military consultants and experts all over the world, including in America and NATO, predict catastrophy for the US military and economy. The world will stop for this war and both the Mid-East and the rest of the world will be destabilized and in up roar. Not only will we be demoralized by the Iranians military capabilities but we will not have enough oil because the Iranian military can close the Persian Gulf. We will lose pace throughout the world and will not have popular support. Bush and the Republicans have already helped spread anti-Americanism world wide. Our interests are facing stronger opposition and resistance worldwide from the Europeans, the Russians, the Chinese, India, Canada, and Latin America. The CIA, the Pentagon, and other dometic and international intelligence agencies have studied different war sceneros and all point to a marginial draw and the destruction of both Israel and the United StatesÂ’ superpower status. Iran is no where near Iraq and Afganistan and we can not just walk in. The have surface to air missiles, anti-aircract missiles, sub-marines, ballisitic missiles, and high tech nuclear technology and know how. If we go to war we will have to re-institute the national draft, just like Vietnam, except the fact that more Americans will die and we will be fighting a multi-theatered battle with an enemy that has the capabilities to damage us at home. For who ever reads this. Listen to me, Â“War with Iran spells doom for eveyone.Â”

29 So what's your suggestion, Robert the Iranian posing as an American, just surrender to the bastards. And who says to invade Iran? We don't need to invade Iran to snuff out its nuclear capability. I would in no way favor an invasion of Iran along the lines of Iraq. There is no reason for an invasion of Iran. We just want to knock out their nuclear capability. Do you understand now, you master of disinformation posing as an American? You know Iran's ass is grass, that's why you posted that stupid disinformation. Go stick your head in a commode, you idiot.

30 Bring it on; all the US does is bitch. Iran has repeatedly said, "BRNG IT ON" and all the US does is bitch about this and that. The fact of the matter is the US is bogged down in Iraq and has only been able to operate and facilitate it's "military operations" against these "Insurgents" (US and British employed mercenaries imported from north Africa) with the grace of Iran and its expansive Shia population in the greater Mid-East. If the US could have taken down Iran as these retards claim then it would have, why prounce around and beat around the bush? The fact of the matter is that the US will never attack Iran and or Invade it in any way. You got nukes, we got nukes, and Russia and China are our natural allies. The only way you can advance your cause in the region (ME) is through Iranian good graces. Best, The Persian

Seattle Ballot Measure Bans Military Recruiters

(Seattle, Washington) The Garfield High School PTSA (Parent Teacher Student Association) has collected enough signatures to put an anti-war measure on the city-wide November ballot. Called the College Not Combat Initiative, I-86, the initiative will decide whether military recruiters should be allowed on Seattle city property and in schools.

In the past, the Garfield PTSA has spearheaded anti-military measures with most people believing them to be symbolic. However, supporters disagree.

From Seattle Times:

Amy Hagopian, president of Garfield's PTSA, is a lead organizer of the initiative effort. She bristles at the word "symbolic" and compares the initiative to effective historical protests such as civil-rights sit-ins.

In my opinion, the comparison to civil rights protests is inappropriate. Nonetheless, although it's ostensibly symbolic, the proposal, if passed, would establish a committee to report on "whether the public schools and the city were inadvertently encouraging recruiting."

It's not clear exactly what comprises 'inadvertent encouragement.' It is clear, however, that the parent-teacher association seems to pay more attention to promoting a liberal political agenda than educating students in reading, writing, and arithmetic.

1 Do some more research on this one Jawa. Amy Hagopian use to be a member of the Garfield PTSA, but was asked to step down after the PTSA tried to pass a similar measure and the Federal Government stepped in and said "Fine, but we will take all our money away from Seattle School district" Upon which caused a minor scandal in Seattle since the board ask Mrs. Hagopian to step down and pulled back from passing the measure. It has also been reported in Seattle media that she has verbally harrassed military recuriters when they have shown up to Garfield High School. Mrs. Hagopian is primarly intrested not in the student of her school nor of Seattle, but of protesting what she calls "the illegal war in Iraq and Afghanistan" and of President Bush in general. It is a shame, going to use the kids of a city as part of a power play.

2 This quote is a chestnut for me: "She bristles at the word "symbolic" and compares the initiative to effective historical protests such as civil-rights sit-ins." It says something about this person that she resents being seen as making a symbolic statement and would rather be compared to a person who sits on the floor until she is hauled away like a stubborn child. As to the initiative, being a Seattle citizen I would vote for it so long as they made it content-neutral and charged their committee with reporting on "whether the public schools and the city were inadvertently encouraging pacifism." Amateurs. Don't these people know anything about building a coalition?

3 Gee -- didn't the Supreme Court more or less settle this issue a couple of weeks ago when it dealt with law schools refusing access to recruiters. How much more would the logic of the decision apply to public schools, which receive large amounts of government funding?

4 Hey! No problem. We need a few military re-deployments. ... If this passes, in addition to cutting off Federal Money to Seattle schools, we can close Ft. Lewis and cancel all those nasty military contracts at Boeing and Microsoft. You know, we don't want to corrupt the children of Seattle with all this militaristic jingoism.

Posted by: sandpiper at April 05, 2006 08:36 AM (O2c+K)

6 No, no, let's all agree that it's not symbolic. It's purposefully refusing to do their share to contribute to the defense of the country. The only real question is what is the rest of the country going to do about it?

Posted by: TM Lutas at April 05, 2006 04:23 PM (z/jms)

7 You can try to dismiss it by saying that it's just some wacky PTA leftists, but what about the 60% of San Francisco voters who voted yes on a similar initiative last year? Or the 24 out of 30 Wisconsin cities that just voted against the War in Iraq? Are all of these people just "PTA leftists"?

Malkin Exposes NBC Plot to Stigmatize NASCAR Fans

One of Michelle Malkin's readers has forwarded emails to her detailing an NBC Dateline scheme to provoke anti-Muslim/anti-Arab behavior at a NASCAR event. According to the email, sent out to members of a Knoxville Muslim organization in response to queries from Dateline producers, NBC wants:

...a guy with no foreign accent whatsoever, a good thick beard, an outgoing personality, and someone willing to wear a kufi/skullcap during the filming.
They also want someone who is fairly well accomplished and has contributed to American society at large in some meaningful way.
That said, I'm urgently looking for someone who can be filmed this April 1st weekend at a Nascar event (and other smaller events) in Virginia. NBC is willing to fly in someone and cover their weekend expenses. The filming would take place all day on Saturday and Sunday.

Quick, somebody set up a sting to gauge the elitist prejudices of NBC Dateline executives who think that all NASCAR fans are inbred hicks who don't vote Democrat often enough.

Note to NASCAR fans: NBC apparently wants to film their stunt at a NASCAR event this coming weekend (April - a follow-up email, also posted by Malkin notes the change in plan.

3 The fact is, if you place one or two people in a crowd and purposely make them look different to everyone else, they'll get some looks - but it doesn't necessarily mean hatred. So this'll be another lame piece of "investigative journalism" where the video shows nothing of interest happening, but the "victims" stating how tense the situation was and how uncomfortable they were. If NBC wants some really interesting footage, put two Orthodox Jews to stand outside a mosque.

9 If I'm not mistaken, NBC SPORTS presently has a contract to televise the second half of each (this) seasons NASCAR race schedule.... I would think that Bill France Jr. who runs NASCAR, and who also issued the contract, might have something to say about NBC News trying to 'sting' what is essentially a sport entirely run by the France family. If I were Bill France I would put some heat on NBC to find some other sport to trick

10 Rathergate may be gone but it is a news fabrication routine the MSM/DNC learned well the last 55 years. They will continue to do the "Ugly America" news lie because it seemd to work so well for Brinkley and Cronkite 55 years ago. Of course there was no Talk Radio then. And then they wonder why their market share has shrunk the last 26 years?!

We might even quote a few passages from th unholy qu'ran, to prove our point, if they asked nice. Quit with all the sneaking around, and act like you have caught us with our in the racist cookie jar!

There just does not seem to be any CREDIBLE tie in to NBC. Why would NBC be asking some muslim student leader in arranging help to do this ? Why would he be sending this out as part of a mass mailing ? Until someone can show me more I am putting this in with the "we never really landed on the moon" news items.

NBC is definitely working on a story that will purport to show the discrimination the poor Muslims are receiving in the US, none of it caused by the Dark Ages cult religion they profess. No, this is the playing of the race card, even though Muslims are not a race. NBC and the MSM are worthy of .........Well, you fill in the blank. I'll leave it to your imagination.

35 There is now a story on MSNBC that reports the attempted plot to create news. It happened this past weekend at Martinsville, as a Muslim man and two women dressed in Muslim garb attempted to get a negative reaction from NASCAR fans, but were unsuccessful. NASCAR has confronted NBC about this, and Dateline has admitted doing the story. They may also be at the Texas Motor Speedway this weekend to attempt another sting. The ones who should have their asses kicked are the producers of this fake news.

40 Rectus, being a typical liberal and so not quite as smart as he gives himself credit for being, has once again exposed his true thoughts on the matter. Why would someone need to go undercover to stage and provoke an incident at a public event, if not to further a secret agenda? Why not just ask people what they think?

Women Vote in Kuwait

So I spend a lot of time pointing out the not so good things. Today itÂ’s my pleasure to report that women have voted for the first time in Kuwait.

BBC : The 28,000 eligible voters, 60% of whom are women, are voting in segregated polling booths, a condition demanded by Islamist and tribal MPs.
Women were granted equal political rights last year and will vote in full legislative polls in 2007.
Kuwait's first women candidates are 32-year-old Jenan Boushehri, a chemical engineer at the Kuwait Municipality, and 48-year-old Khalida Khader, a US-educated physician and a mother of eight.
"I am so pleased that I have become one of the first Kuwaiti women candidates to run in elections," Dr Khader said in an interview with AFP news agency.
"I have broken the ice and hope this will benefit the cause of women."

You bet you have Dr. Khader and congratulations to you and to Kuwait.

1 They are voting for members of a parliment that has no real powers at all. The country is ruled by the Emir He appoints the Prime Minister. So this election is like a practice election. Which is actually probably a good thing as there are 7 times as many Islamists as liberals in the Parliment. Here is awikipedia link about Kuwait. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuwait/Government

She was trying to make a point that now finally Kuwait can embrace democracy and women's rights. Spoke with a man who was walking on the beach in KC with a gaggle of his wives. Christian was waxing poetic about how in the pre-war days the women would've been tagging along behind the man dutifully, but how now post-war they were empowered and the man had left them walk ahead of him. She was somewhat chagrined when the man pointed out that the wives were actually walking ahead of him to look for mines that might still be strewn about on the beach...

11 Islam and Muslims have long been accused of mistreating women. Whether it is by Orientalists, or the "average Joe" or Josephine relying on the media barrage of awful stereotypes to formulate his or her opinion. Muslim men are perceived as violent, cruel and barbaric towards women in general, but especially towards their own wives, daughters and sisters. The fact is that such disgusting behavior does occur in the Muslim world, for many of the same reasons it occurs in the United States: a cycle of abuse in the family, socio-economic factors and jealousy. However, what could be said to distinguish women's mistreatment in the Muslim world is the general lack of Islamic education amongst men and women about day-to-day matters, including the roles and rights of women. Mistreatment and abuse of women, and wives in particular is condemned by Islam. Consider the following Hadith narrated by Abu Huraira in Tirmidhi: the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said,"The one most perfect in his faith is he whose conduct is best and the best amongst you is he who behaves best towards his wife." Now consider the following the statistics about how many women are treated in the United States, taken from the 1995 National Crime Victimization Survey of the U.S. Department of Justice and the National Domestic Violence Hotline Fact Sheet and Statistics HOW MANY ABUSED WOMEN ARE THERE IN THE U.S.? Women age 12 or older annually sustained almost 5 million violent victimizations in 1992 and 1993. Women and girls ages 12 and up annually reported about 500,000 rapes and sexual assaults, almost 500,000 robberies, and about 3.8 million assaults. WHO ARE THE ABUSERS In 29% of all violence against women by a lone offender, the perpetrator was an intimate (husband,ex-husband, boyfriend or ex-boyfriend). Women annually reported about 500,000 rapes and sexual assaults Friends or acquaintances of the victims committed over half of these rapes or sexual assaults. Strangers were responsible for about 1 in 5. HONOR KILLINGS IN AMERICA? Of the 5328 women murdered in 1990, FBI data indicate that about half or more of them by a husband or boyfriend. VIOLENCE AMONG COUPLES A minimum of 16 % of American couples experienced an assault during the year they were asked about it, and about 40% of these involved severely violent acts, such as kicking, biting, punching, choking, and attacks with weapons. A 1993 national poll found that 34% of adults in the United States report having witnessed a man beating his wife or girlfriend and that 14% of women report that a husband or boyfriend has been violent with them. THE PHYSICAL DAMAGE CAUSED TO WOMEN AND CHILDREN BY ABUSE During the last decade, domestic violence has been identified as one of the major causes of emergency room visits by women. From 20% to 30% of the women who are seen by emergency room physicians exhibit at least one or more symptoms of physical abuse. 10% of the victims were pregnant at the time of abuse. 10% reported that their children had also been abused by the batterer. THE ECONOMIC FACTOR IN WOMEN'S ABUSE *Women aged 19 to 29 and women in families with incomes below $10,000 were more likely than other women to be victims of violence by an intimate.

13 JohnRyan The elections referred to were for seats in the Kuwait Municipality ( not Parliament ) that were vacated due to recent changes in ministerial positions ( when the new Amir took his position). These are first steps towards women entering the political arena and as a Kuwaiti, I'm pleased that this is finally happening. Oyster I would like to see a reference to that bit of news; it sounds pretty far fetched to me. Kuwait is formally a dry country, yes. But I have never heard of anyone being hung in a sports stadium for possession of alcohol. There is a fair amount of law and order in this country

RangerRuss That reference to women walking ahead of men in the aftermath of the first Gulf War was a joke that circulated here. I did not know that Christiane Amanpour was the originator of that joke. Gaggle of wives? Please people. Educate yourselves about the Middle East and read. Polygamy is allowed in Islam but not every man is married to several women in Kuwait. And they certainly don't trail behind them.

1 Sounds like a replay of the Cold War. The USSR bragged up their weapons and what was going to happen to us, so we built weapons. That scared the USSR and they blustered and bragged some more, and we built more weapons. Those ruling Iran might not think we will take them seriously. We would not have, before.

Maybe, more people should have a little of what that General is smoking, take a movie break, and be at peace with everyone. Of course, I did not write that.

3 IF ONLY they would have a bong-a-thon, they would then be too stoned to get off the couch. Somebody PLEASE pust the big red button and turn IRAN to glass, something Carter should have done in '79

4 that should have been "push" the big red button. These idiots are itching to start shit, we should finish it before it begins. Peace through superior fire power.

5 You would think that after the way you have managed to win in Iraq and crush the resistance that they would know better. Oh hold on..

6 Sonic, what's your problem, eh? You just hop around doing drive bys with your one liners? We got your message - days ago.

7 Nice to see you are getting the point!

Posted by: Sonic at April 04, 2006 06:21 PM (Gsn6c)

8 Sonic, why the drive by. Do you have anything to say about Generals, and bongs, or are you mad you have a small penis?

Posted by: Leatherneck at April 04, 2006 07:21 PM (D2g/j)

9 Sorry, I thought you were talking about Iran and the inevitable victory American arms are sure to secure there!

Posted by: Sonic at April 04, 2006 07:53 PM (Gsn6c)

10 Sonic, the Iranian army would be destroyed in a couple of weeks just like the Iraqi army was. The only reason we had to fight an insurgency in Iraq was because we didn't send all the troops we would need to occupy from the start. Also, U.S. involvement in Iraq should be done soon. Only 4 provinces are still resisting and when the Iraqi army has enough men they will take over those areas and we will leave having accomplished our mission.

11 Can I have some of what Craig has been smoking?

Posted by: Sonic at April 04, 2006 08:30 PM (Gsn6c)

12 That is a start Sonic. Just state what you think a bit more. Your reasons for not thinking a war with Iran would go as everyone thinks. You do not have to agree with Craig. I hope Craig is correct. Write why you think he is wrong.

Posted by: Leatherneck at April 04, 2006 09:11 PM (D2g/j)

13 Leatherneck, I'm not sure who this "everyone" you speak of is. Most military analysis I have read thinks a war with Iran would be a seriously tough prospect, one that with your army bogged down in Iraq the US military could not win. The Iranians are well armed, have the ability to close the gulf to oil ($200 a barrel anyone) and also allies all over the region, including Iraq. Even a conventional victory would still leave you the problem of occupying a country twice as big as Iraq and with plans in place to conduct a guerrilla war that would make Fallujah look like a cakewalk. Think it over. As for Chris and his "we are winning in Iraq" fantasy, how many times are have we seen that disproved?

Posted by: Sonic at April 04, 2006 09:43 PM (Gsn6c)

14 Yeah, Sonic, those heavy casualties of 29 a month have just about done the whole United States military in. What shall we do? What if Iran notices how weak we are and invades New Zealand. What would you do, Sonic? Heres Sonic right after the walk through by the powerful(or so Sonic says, so I know it is right) Iranian Army: "Sir, please sir, I'll suck your dick and be a good little dhimmi. Do you want me to show you where the women are hiding? Sir, yes, sir, I'm reading the koran as we speak. Look, sir, there's those female bitches just awaiting your wonderful soldiers. Do you want me to help give them clitorectomies? Because, I will, sir, I will." What a little bitch you are, Sonic. Pathetic!

15 Jesusland, funnily enough no-one has any plans to invade us, you know why? Because we dont have many ignorant f*ckers like you who think the best way to relate to the world is to stomp around pissing everyone off. Behaviour like that has consequences.

Posted by: Sonic at April 04, 2006 10:32 PM (Gsn6c)

16 Please inform me who has plans to invade the US. What a dumb ass you are!

Posted by: jesusland joe at April 04, 2006 10:40 PM (rUyw4)

17 And I wouldn't count on your country acting peacably having anything to do with someone invading you. Look what happened to that peaceful nation of Iraq. You never know, Uncle Sam might get pissed at you. Katy bar the door then, Kiwi.

Posted by: jesusland joe at April 04, 2006 10:52 PM (rUyw4)

18 Where did anyone say you were about to be invaded? Consequences is what I said, consequences.

Posted by: Sonic at April 04, 2006 11:08 PM (Gsn6c)

19 "Because we dont have many ignorant f*ckers like you who think the best way to relate to the world is to stomp around pissing everyone off." That's odd, because you appear to be the very embodiment of an "ignorant f*cker". Here we go again with how ignorant the Americans are. It's ignorant, snobby little jerks like you who think it's better if these radical Imams are just left alone to run roughshod over the Middle East people, keeping them in the dark ages, killing them with impugnity and abusing anyone who happens to get too close. You think it's okay that they willfully emigrate to other countries in droves with the purpose of taking over. You think it's okay whatever they do as long as it's against the evil USA. As long as they leave YOU alone, right? Those like you would rather stomp around blogs showing your arse and pissing everyone off with your inane little comments. You don't know anything about us over here. Nothing. All you do is read your rags over there and listen to negative news taking everything at face value because you're a hateful little twit and you need someone to project it onto rather than think for yourself. I never could understand why some people get their jollies making snide and insulting remarks to others over and over. Got nothing constructive to do with your time? Nothing constructive to say or offer? You don't have the balls to say such things to people to their faces. Isn't the keyboard a wonderful thing?

20 Privately the Iranian military is scared to death of the American military. And the have put it in writing. Sun Tzu preached that in war, the weak must appear strong and the strong ought to appear weak. That's a pretty straight assesment of Iran and America.

21 I am a patriotic person. If the US decides to go to Iran, we will be crippling ourselves. I served in the Armed Forces and am an ex-serviceman. IranÂ’s national capabilities in the region are up to par with ours. TYhey have the best military force in the region, are modernized, and an educated nation. They possess weapons made to take down our battle ships for which we have no defense. They have an intrnational intellegence and spy network. Military consultants and experts all over the world, including in America and NATO, predict catastrophy for the US military and economy. The world will stop for this war and both the Mid-East and the rest of the world will be destabilized and in up roar. Not only will we be demoralized by the Iranians military capabilities but we will not have enough oil because the Iranian military can close the Persian Gulf. We will lose pace throughout the world and will not have popular support. Bush and the Republicans have already helped spread anti-Americanism world wide. Our interests are facing stronger opposition and resistance worldwide from the Europeans, the Russians, the Chinese, India, Canada, and Latin America. The CIA, the Pentagon, and other dometic and international intelligence agencies have studied different war sceneros and all point to a marginial draw and the destruction of both Israel and the United StatesÂ’ superpower status. Iran is no where near Iraq and Afganistan and we can not just walk in. The have surface to air missiles, anti-aircract missiles, sub-marines, ballisitic missiles, and high tech nuclear technology and know how. If we go to war we will have to re-institute the national draft, just like Vietnam, except the fact that more Americans will die and we will be fighting a multi-theatered battle with an enemy that has the capabilities to damage us at home. For who ever reads this. Listen to me, Â“War with Iran spells doom for eveyone.Â”

22 Robert, you do know you're not supposed to actually take Iranian propaganda at face value, don't you? I recall hearing people say roughly the same things about Iraq when we invaded the first time.

Posted by: Improbulus Maximus at April 07, 2006 06:13 AM (0yYS2)

23 I don't understand why everyone thinks we need to hold Iran. Slash and burn, destroy what we need to and, and leave them to make mud and camel dung huts. We sustain casualties in Iraq because we've committed to make long term changes there. I don't see that we need to do the same in Iran, not at this point anyway. I'm still waiting to hear what Sonic's military creds are, he's quick to ask. I'm sure he was probably in the SAS like all the other heroes.
