Sunday Afternoon Cold Beer Links

More on Watch what you read at work.�The Thought Police�need something to do, to justify their salaries.�It could be me, next, because I have many bad thoughts. Put that Bible way, quick.

Top CIA operatives say Al Qaida does not exist.�Don't tell New Yorkers. We already know that these Jihadists are not a well-organized military force. You can call them whatever you want, but they are still evil and dangerous creatures who require a good whuppin' to introduce them to either paradise or reality - whichever comes first. How to best administer the necessary�whuppin' is debatable.

Feelings, oh oh oh feelings....Tiger. Yale is all about feelings, isn't it? How nice for them. There was a time when they produced Army officers, long, long ago.

We're in Munster!�Dang.

Want heaven on earth? Me too, but I know I won't get it because this beautiful world is also a vale of tears. As quoted at Driscoll:

The rich, churchless, blue-state elites, by contrast, are hungry for the kind of secular nirvana Obama is serving up. Obama-mania is a political expression of the same impulse that underlies a broader movement, among the educated rich, towards a post-Christian spirituality, evident in such fetishes as yoga, feng-shui, investment-banker Buddhism, and tennis-set Sufism � the small-is-beautiful and green-is-good crazes.

Thanks to Insty for the link today to the Blackbird essay. Well, thanks to all of our linkers - Jules, Theo, Ace of Spades, Reddit, Digg,�et al. We have a banner month, thanks to Gwynnie's finger on the pulse of the world!

I think the photograph accompanying your post counts as one form of secular nirvana. ;)

Not if she forgets to bring the limes.

She looks a little like that porn actress turned televangelist. I mean, what she used to look like.

Imagine, dear friends, for a moment, the following scenario. Picture a Christian man walking into a Hindu school and opening fire on students as they were learning their holy books. Then imagine that, not only had he murdered eight young students and wounded more than 30, but just try to visualize groups of Christians breaking out in song and dance to celebrate this �brave victory.�

So let�s call a spade a spade here, folks, before this thing comes to haunt all of us across Mother Earth. Despite the calls from so-called �moderate� Muslims, Islam has proven itself to be anything but a religion of peace. One needs only to look at nearly every hot spot on the planet to see that somehow, in some way, and usually very directly, the Muslims are there making chaos, destroying, killing - all in the name of their �holy� beliefs. Whether it�s in Russia or Indonesia or Africa or the Middle East or Europe or the good ol� USA, a militant form of Islam is preparing to take over.

No argument with that. The current debate in the Western world is about what % of the threat is real, and how much is ignorant-fanatic bluster. Clearly, some is real, but some is noise/mindless bravado - like our own Moonbat Left.

Gallop Polling recently concluded the largest polling they have ever done. It was on Islam.

Part of the results were that 7% of Muslims world wide consider themselves radical and would blow themselves up to defeat infidels, i.e. anyone else other than a Muslim.

That figure comes to 97 MILLION 97 MILLION !

The article was plain enough. There is no corner of the Earth where Islam is not the major problem.

The poll by GallUp did disclose many western misconceptions about Islam also, however:

"About 93 percent of the world's 1.3 billion Muslims are moderates and only seven percent are politically radical, according to the poll, based on more than 50,000 interviews."

Correction: 7% of 1.3 billion is only 91 million who consider themselves radicals.

What other religion can count 91 million "radicals" who enjoy blowing themselves up on school buses and slaughtering people? Personall I can't think of any.

Given that Israel has been attacked by every Arab nation in the ME the question has to be asked and with great assurance affirmed.

Will Israel allow Iran to build an atomic bomb? NO, she will preemptively attack, probably with US help before W leaves office.

Alone among the states of the world, Israel is not assured of its continued existence. We do not need to discuss whether New Zealand or Ghana have a right to exist and whether they will continue to exist . Palestinians and their Arab allies have always suspected that at some point, Israelis will tire of the fight, or just as effective from their perspective, they can wean America away from its support for Israel, which will make Israelis realize the precariousness of their situation and their total international isolation. The expectation is that Israel will then, over time, make disastrous political concessions -- choosing the false hope of a Palestinian peace partner over the reality of the continuing siege, and these will lead to a weakening of Israel's strategic capability, and finally the defeat or collapse of the state. How today can Israel negotiate with the Abbas government, when the PA does not control Gaza and has no say over the 40% of the Palestinian population which lives there?

I meant to comment on that "Blackbird" essay; but, I had to call my son over to read it first. I'll comment on it, now:
