DEMOCRATS AND WORLD WAR IV

Hillary Clinton recently said:

"If I had been president in 2002, I would not have started this war."

"If we in Congress don't end this war before January 2009, as president, I will."


The noted 19th century Arabic lexicographer E.W. Lane, who studied the etymology of the term, observed,
"Jihad came to be used by the Muslims to signify wag[ing] war, against unbelievers". The origins of the Muslim institution of jihad are found in the Qur'an. Sura (chapter) 9 is devoted in its entirety to war proclamations. There we read that the Muslim faithful are to "slay the idolaters wherever you find them. . . . Fight against such as those who have been given the scripture as believe not in Allah. . . . Go forth, light-armed and heavy armed, and strive with your wealth and your lives in the way of Allah. That is best for you, if ye but knew."

..lots more goodies...

Muslim Mau-Mauing

One Dallas journo’s experience

The downside is that people lull themselves into a false sense of security about the Muslim community. From where I sit, it looks to me as though the entire mainstream media also live in a September 10 kind of place. We—and I say “we” because I’m part of the dreaded MSM—really don’t want to know what’s happening among Muslims in Dallas, Brooklyn, or anywhere else.

Folks, I keep saying ,buy a gun and learn to use it. Between the illegals and Hugo Chavez and the Muslims in this country there's gonna be bloodshed. If you need help look at this government program that is over 100 years old.

gumshoe,
Many thanks for the compilment. I too saw the David Horowitz presentation. I thought it was great and wished like the dickens I had the production knowledge to do that stuff too...thank goodness we have him. And I'm sure you're aware that he was an avowed Marxist,editor and I believe owner of THE radical magazine of the 1960's ,Ramparts. His conversion has veritas gravitatis, truthful weight, because he's been on both sides.

I would highly recommend the posters taking the few minutes it takes to watch what Gumshoe has brought us via Frontpage. (linK above)

The price of liberty and freedom are eternal vigilance and don't get caught with your pants down ..ok it's a paraphrase.

FYI... PossumTater is fine. He spends a good deal of the winter down in the bog all cuddled up with one of his girlfriends. He was around at Christmas and we did some sweet taters together, he'd raided ole man Hornby's moonshine stash so we toasted a few and he was off. He'll be back soon I suspect since Puxatony Phil says winter won't go on forever.
All the best,
Habu and P-Tater

REAGANS DUSK AND DAWN
Ronald Wilson Reagan
February 6, 1911 - June 5, 2004

Published February 6, 2004

Today marks the 93rd birthday of Ronald Reagan. It's a bittersweet occasion. Although two years ago, Mr. Reagan became the longest-lived president in United States history, he has spent most of his last days in twilight.
To honor Mr. Reagan's memory is to see the light in that darkness. Writing his first inaugural address with the nation's misery index approaching 20 percent and 52 Americans held hostage in Iran, Mr. Reagan boldly penned the words, "We have every right to dream heroic dreams." Years later, at the Brandenburg Gate, Mr. Reagan declared, "I do not come here to lament. For I find in Berlin a message of hope, even in the shadow of this wall, a message of triumph." When announcing that he had been stricken with Alzheimer's Disease, Mr. Reagan affirmed, "I now begin the journey that will lead me into the sunset of my life. I know that for America there will always be a bright dawn ahead."
Mr. Reagan's optimism was founded in fact and sustained by faith. Mr. Reagan was well-versed in the Founding Fathers -- he recognized that their hands had crafted shining cities from a dark wilderness. He saw that Americans were among the most productive people on the earth. Mr. Reagan understood human nature well enough to see how contrary it was to communism. He was so confident of his judgement that in a 1975 radio broadcast, he called communism "a form of insanity . . . which will one day disappear from the earth."
Like the birthdays of less extraordinary individuals, this day is an occasion for both reflection and renewal. It is also a day to renew one's commitment to the ideals Mr. Reagan lived by -- a day to resolve to follow his injunction to "act worthy of ourselves." It is also a day to send Mr. and Mrs. Reagan their memories and their thanks. The Reagan Foundation has set up a Web site for that purpose. Click on www.reaganfoundation.org and follow the instructions.

I never had the honor of serving in the CIA under President Reagan. I could not suffer the administration of Mr. Carter so I left the Company. Had I known in just a short time this great man wouold spend eight years in the White House I would have endured anything Mr. Carter's embarassing presidency gave us.
We often see article about the lack of hero's. One need look no further than RWR. History will prove him a giant in that office. I wish my vision today was keen enough to spot a man or women (Mrs. Margaret Thatcher comes to mind) that has the qualities he possessed, but then few do.
It saddens me deeply to know that generation is so thin in ranks now, so feeble, and leaving us. We must not fail them or those who went before at Valley Forge,Gettysburg,and Belleau Wood.

I love that generation for those intangible possessions that cannot be
issued: pride, honor, integrity, and being able to carry on the
traditions for generations of warriors past. [Cpl. Jeff Sornij, USMC;
in Navy Times, November 1994]

Buddy,
Thank you too. You're the reason I came here to post. I often laugh at myself and think about Lincoln's Gettyburg Address.
The main speaker was Edward Everett, who had served as Secretary of State, U.S. Senator, U.S. Representative, Governor of Massachusetts, and president of Harvard University. He spoke for two hours plus.

Then Lincoln got up, gave his address, and sat down all in less than five minutes. Everette immediately recognized the brilliance of Lincoln's address (although the MSM decried it )
and told Lincoln so.

Well that's how I feel. I'll go on for a good bit. You go on a lot less and say more. Yeah sometimes you'll unfurl your insight and that's always a treat (darn if this was San Fran we'd be married by now).

By the way I think I posted this sight but I can't remember. It has a good many links on it.

Hispanic Family Values?
Heather Mac Donald

Runaway illegitimacy is creating a new U.S. underclass.
(example from the fourth paragraph)
But it’s the fertility surge among unwed Hispanics that should worry policymakers. Hispanic women have the highest unmarried birthrate in the country—over three times that of whites and Asians, and nearly one and a half times that of black women, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Every 1,000 unmarried Hispanic women bore 92 children in 2003 (the latest year for which data exist), compared with 28 children for every 1,000 unmarried white women, 22 for every 1,000 unmarried Asian women, and 66 for every 1,000 unmarried black women. Forty-five percent of all Hispanic births occur outside of marriage, compared with 24 percent of white births and 15 percent of Asian births. Only the percentage of black out-of-wedlock births—68 percent—exceeds the Hispanic rate. But the black population is not going to triple over the next few decades.

read it all..ugh

Yes, the demographics of this country will change dramatically within another 15 years. The swing vote will be Hispanic. Much of the southern tier of the US will be dominated by town and city councils with Hispanic s whose allegence is suspect. Certainly their constituents, at the present rate and proclivity will not assimilate into an Anglo culture.
What this portends given the current data and the rate at which societies change does not appear to give one confidence in maintaining, in the souther states, an Anglo culture. That means a de facto two nation country.
There is nothing on the political radar that remotely looks like having a moratorium on immigration, as we have done in the past.....prior to the PC multicultural miasma choked our brains.
