Historical perspective for defeatists

Posted 29 May 2007 in war

Highly suggested reading: Dread Pundit Bluto says what I’ve been trying to say for the past year or so: basically that the casualties we are suffering in the War On Terror™ pale in comparison to the number of servicemen & servicewomen we lost in WW2 or Vietnam. And rather than simply trying to appeal to people’s waning intestinal fortitude – as I have done – he wisely put the facts into a clear chart in connection with the active-duty service members’ petition, the Appeal For Courage. Hold fast, fellow Americans. Don’t be swayed by the cowardly forces peddling retreat and defeat.

Remember the victories of America’s soldiers

Instead of focusing on all the doom and gloom body counts which you’ll no doubt be hearing in the mainstream media this weekend, Day by Day cartoonist Chris Muir brings up some very important facts to ponder this Memorial Day. And Captain Ed provides some much-needed perspective on tomorrow’s rembrance: he real story is much broader than how many American soldiers died in the line of duty over the past year (980). Those increased deaths come from a much more aggressive, and successful, strategy of clearing and holding neighborhoods in order to drive out terrorists and insurgents. We hear nothing about the deaths of these insurgents and terrorists. … conservative estimate of captured terrorists is over 1,500 in the...

Opposing amensty isn’t racism

Posted 26 May 2007 in illegal immigration, multiculturalism

Blogmeister USA has written an excellent post in response to WaPo columnist Michael Gerson’s ludicrous harangue, picking apart his allegations of racism against anyone opposing the “Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007.” Illegal aliens have not only shown disregard for our laws, but expect to be rewarded for doing so. This bill would do just that — reward lawbreakers while others who have applied for citizenship the proper way must sit back and watch while linejumpers reap rewards that legal applicants have waited years and paid plenty of money for. As it is, illegal aliens are already receiving freebies that American citizens (and other legal residents) must pay for. She not only addresses the economic issues involved with blanket...

More judicial activism in defiance of the expressed will of the people. This time, blocking the enforcement of existing law and a new ordinance aimed at illegal aliens in Farmers Branch, TX. Illegal immigrant law in Farmers Branch blocked A federal judge Monday blocked the Dallas suburb of Farmers Branch from enforcing a controversial ordinance that would bar most illegal immigrants from renting apartments. U.S. District Judge Sam Lindsay granted a request for a temporary restraining order one day before the voter-approved ordinance was to take effect. In a 20-page opinion, the judge wrote that the city’s apartment measure pre-empts the federal goverment’s power to regulate immigration. “The court recognizes that illegal immigration is a major problem in this...

What absolute gall. LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) – Former President Carter says President Bush’s administration is “the worst in history” in international relations, taking aim at the White House’s policy of pre-emptive war and its Middle East diplomacy. The criticism from Carter, which a biographer says is unprecedented for the 39th president, also took aim at Bush’s environmental policies and the administration’s “quite disturbing” faith-based initiative funding. “I think as far as the adverse impact on the nation around the world, this administration has been the worst in history,” Carter told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette in a story that appeared in the newspaper’s Saturday editions. How nice of President Carter to take time from his fundraising for Hamas to generate...

Law. an act of forgiveness for past offenses, esp. to a class of persons as a whole. a forgetting or overlooking of any past offense. See also Bush-Kennedy Are they distributing crack openly to Congress now? What in the wide, wide word of sports is a goin’ on with this Bush/Kennedy bill? How could so many supposedly American officials buy off on such a blatant amnesty plan for 20 million illegal aliens who have invaded America? It would “grant quick legal status to millions of illegal immigrants already in the U.S.”? Hrmm, sounds a hell of a lot like...
