Some anonymous persons have recently challenged me to re-examine my stance on any number of issues. In the comment section of another blog where the topic was “Pentagon lawyers sought harsh interrogations” directly after 9/11, I responded:
Oooh, [blogger] is BAD, [blogger] is RACIST, BZ should disassociate from [blogger] — except, [blogger] is frequently CORRECT, such as THIS time.
The Left continuously attempts to use this country’s principles AGAINST us and itself, and this example is no exception. Do we not, I ask, hear time and again those who say “if we stoop to devices such as this, we become no better than ‘them’?”
I am all for adhering to the letter and SPIRIT of the law whenever possible. But I also posit: why do we abide the law yet provide more to those who do everything BUT adhere to any save their own? Geneva Convention? Uniforms? Clear markings? No targeting CIVILIANS?
And even so, Haditha? John Murtha and Charlie Rangel, who accused the soldiers without facts, held preconceived notions to fit an AGENDA? And the result, 8 marines charged = 7 charges dropped or acquitted or exonerated. Under the UCMJ.
And now, in consideration of the newest SCOTUS ruling: that those in custody at Guantanamo are to acquire legal benefits NOT EVEN AFFORDED TO OUR SOLDIERS who FIGHT for our country?
If you show WEAKNESS in front of a junkyard dog, the dog WILL attack — and our enemies are junkyard dogs fueled by a corrupted Islam.
So yes, I have re-examined my stances and determined that I will hold to them. I will hold to my apparently liberal comment policy. I will hold to allowing adults to make their own decisions. I will respond to those who situationally- or name-call/demean me: I shut you off. Whatever argument you chose to make becomes resultingly null to me.
I go here because I personally believe the stakes are critically high. I personally believe that we shall look back, during an Obama Administration (and further, more Left-leaning or oppressive administrations), as these current months being “The Good Old Days of Expression.”
Because I truly believe that our POLITICIANS and THOSE IN POWER in AMERICA are lagging seriously behind various Global trends. Do we not recall that Lincoln suspended habeus corpus — in nation-threatening circumstances? People have called me a NeoCon; I am, in fact, your worst O.C. — an Original Conservative.
Europeans are already discovering that unlimited immigration doesn’t work. That unified monetary systems don’t work. That socialist systems don’t work. That it’s imperative to create more and greater power systems and infrastructure to include nuclear. That cramming millions of people into centralized, concentrated and vertical housing and service systems doesn’t work. That ignoring the will of the majority in inconsideration of history doesn’t work.
Even once-liberal American authors are slowly coming around. From the 2008 Odd Thomas book, “Odd Hours” by Dean Koontz (pages 239, 240):
Those who choose to live criminal lives are not the brightest among us.
This truth inspires a question: If evil geniuses are so rare, why do so many bad people get away with so many crimes against their fellow citizens and, when they become leaders of nations, against humanity?
Edmund Burke provided the answer in 1795: The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
I would only add this: It is also essential that good men and women not be educated and propagandized into believing that real evil is a myth and that all malevolent behavior is merely the result of a broken family’s or a failed society’s shortcomings, amenable to cure by counseling and by the application of new economic theory.
I suggest you read that quote, particularly the last paragraph, at least two more times.
There shall come a time, I fervently believe, when the difference between a Serf and a Free Man in America shall be an old Ruger Mini-14 in .223 caliber filled with illegal back-taped 30-round banana magazines (and many more in your pack), clasped in the hands of a civilian fighter familiar with the adage “front sight!” So shove me into your pigeonholes as you will.
I can only hope this occurs after my death because I don’t want to see it.
Already, the person thought slotted to become Barack Hussein Obama’s National Security Advisor, Richard Danzig (formerly served as Navy Secretary under President Clinton), made statements resulting in the
United Kingdom’s Telegraph as writing:
Winnie the Pooh, Luke Skywalker and British football hooligans could shape the foreign policy of Barack Obama if he becomes US President, according to a key adviser.
You don’t treat the security of this nation with the most serious of deliberation, you guarantee a distinct future. Danzig? Germany? Nazis? Totalitarianism? Hello?
Say what you will about President Bush: this nation has NOT suffered a domestic act of terrorism for seven years.
Do the “Logical Extension” — after January of 2009.

Author, Author!! Kudos BZ…
But on the other hand, it’s NOT about YOU, Texas Fred. In my estimation, it’s about the willingness to TRULY tolerate ALL views and opinions, to actually trundle the Conservative view, to listen, to sift, to consider, and THEN to draw an opinion. Sure, you’re one racist sonofabitch. Me too. I am not only ethnocentric but nationalcentric. I fervently believe that the world wouldn’t have gotten to where it is now without ANGLO and WESTERN cultures. And that NOT ALL CULTURES ARE INHERENTLY IGNOMINIOUS.
Further: had the American Indians experienced their OWN Bronze Age and Industrial Age AHEAD of Euros, they would have KILLED ALL the intruders and moved on.
NO ONE CULTURE is “in tune” with nature. They are ALL SELF-SERVING.
Those who proclaim otherwise are BALD LIARS.

I have a different approach to why we haven’t been attacked in seven years.
People think of al-Qaeda is a bunch of rag heads sitting in a cave somewhere; I don’t think that’s the case. I think they are well informed and well financed by countries and their military that would like nothing more then to see us fall.
They knew that under Bush the attack would send him to Iraq. Let’s face it the first words after the 911 attack out of Bush, Chaney and Rumsfeld was to link the attack to Iraq. They didn’t care about going after al-Qaeda or bringing these assholes to justice. It was Iraq and has always been Iraq.
Al-Qaeda’s purpose is to bring us down by destroying our economy, well just look around. They’re here, they’re planning and when they decide, not Bush, when they decide they will attack. When everything is in place, when enough of their followers have crossed our OPEN BORDERS they will hit us and hit us hard. Probably many attacks or bombs going off at the same time in all our major cities. They are very patient as we all have seen in the past. They will wait while Bush and McCain deplete the rest of our military and our funds, they know what they’re doing and Bush has played right into their hands by going to Iraq and taking us and our military off the main objective, al-Qaeda.
We’re fucked and the Bush Administration has put us in this situation, IMO.
Two days ago Bush says he wants to go after bin-Laden. For over 7 years many of us have been telling this asshat of a President to stay on track and now he wants to make up for lost time. If we find out that Iran is behind much of al-Qaeda, which most of us already know. Guess who won’t let us use their country for an assault, yep you guessed it, Iraq.
They know that an attack under McCain will probably send our military back into Vietnam, McCain as Bush does want to get even.
Is Obama the answer, no he’s not. Like I said, we’re fucked if we don’t go after the people that want us gone.
So, has Bush kept us safe from an attack by al-Qaeda. I don’t think so, they know what they’re doing and they know exactly how to do it and they will on their time.
We should have gone after al-Qaeda, it’s supporters and wiped them out starting on September 12, 2001.
Oh ya one more thing, shoot and kill anything that crosses our borders illegally and after you shoot them, walk over and put one through their head.
It’s all too little and muchly too late. OBL, at ONE point WAS in fact the focal point — but he’s way too PASSE now.
He ain’t the point. We’ll look back, now, upon the Bush Administration and WISH we have NOW what we had THEN.
I’ll VOTE for McCain.
And then recognize that my country is, in fact, THAT SUPREMELY STUPID as to vote for OBAMA.

Liberals like anonymous do not want discussion, and they lack the noodles in the noggin for rational discussion of facts. facts are meaningless to them, as they don’t believe in right and wrong, left or right, up or down. everything’s a shade of grey, a differing, but equally valid viewpoint, etc. and so on. it’s all mindless emotionalism, that’s why Obama appeals to them.
