Purposely Bringing Terror To America

Yoni the Blogger spoke on Friday, January 23rd, from Seattle, on the Hugh Hewitt show and stated that, regarding Gitmo and its closure, bringing terrorists to America will result in new domestic terrorists being created by the terrorists brought here — by dint of the nature of their association with our incarcerated citizens.

And Hugh, unfortunately, shined Yoni on and cut him off.

Yoni Tidi needs to be taken more seriously. And so does the issue of the Guantanamo base closure.

Q: If the detainees are transferred to the U.S. mainland would they have the same rights as other Americans?
A: This was a strong argument made by the Bush administration in opposing a move to the U.S. mainland from Guantanamo. By transferring them to the U.S. mainland, more legal options could be open to detainees to challenge their imprisonment.

This is just, on so many levels, such an incredibly ridiculous move.

These are people who have no central government, who purposely wear no uniform, who purposely have no central administration, who purposely have no central unifying force, who purposely fight as insurgents and terrorists singly and in small numbers, who purposely have no unifying and recognizable flag, elements, graphics, contactable and recognizable singular authority, who purposely insert themselves into the civilian population in order to portray themselves and their surrounding civilians as victims.

Because, of course, these terrorists do nothing but hide behind the skirts of women and the cribs of infants in hopes of enabling their purposes.

They know that, in the venue of open thoughts and courage, they abominably FAIL.

These are persons with whom the Geneva Conventions should NOT even remotely apply.

And for that reason, Gitmo should remain open. Away from American soil and purposely separated from American law.

There are 245 alien combatants involved. Not thousands or even multiple hundreds. This does nothing but enable a pre-9/11 mentality.

If we are “nicer” to terrorists — of course — they’ll be “nicer” to us.

The ultimate question one must ask: Does this make America safer?

Yes?

If these assholes refuse to play by any rules . . . then why should we?

Serial Numbers For Ammunition

Civilian Taser units have very small, round markers called “anti-felon serialized ID tags” contained in each cartridge — so that when a civilian Taser is utilized and the tags are discharged as well (extremely difficult to pick them all up due to size), it can be tracked directly to its registered owner or, if misued, to a “suspect.”

Get ready.

There is a push to place serial numbers on individual live rounds of ammunition.

Tip of the Iceberg

Trust me, ladies and gentlemen: it is just beginning.

Crude oil price up, gold down
January 22, 2009 – 7:44AM
Crude oil rose the most in three weeks, following equities higher, on speculation a bank-rescue plan from President Barack Obama will boost financial companies.

March futures also advanced as traders narrowed the differential to later contracts amid rising inventories.

Crude oil for March delivery rose $2.62, or 6.4 per cent, to $43.46 a barrel at the close of floor trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Oil has fallen 2.4 per cent since the end of December and is 52 per cent lower than a year ago.

Oil prices rose $10 in one day, Wednesday, the first day of the Obama Administration — predicated upon President Obama’s proposal to close offshore drilling once again, do you suppose?

This is just the veritable “tip of the iceberg.”

It is already beginning.

Just slightly over half of the American population refused to listen and now you, those responsible for electing Mr. Obama, are about to, literally, begin paying the price.

P.S.
Caroline Kennedy just withdrew her consideration for Hillary Clinton’s former US Senate seat. She states the decision is due to Ted Kennedy’s medical condition; I suspect it’s instead her vapidity.

The Adults Leave The Table

And the children step to the table.

I feel compelled to violate my decision not to write of the inaugural, as there are some things I want to immure on my blog for this day. I’m uncertain as to how you apply your blog, but occasionally I use mine as a bit of memory-assist for what occurred at a given time.

In retrospect, my feelings are that the adults are leaving the table and the children are stepping to the table, wanting to sit squarely in Grandpa’s chair. Their aspirations are admirable but I believe they have not the background or the capability to fill the chair and the boots left behind. Though he holds himself up as the master of change and wishful thinking, Obama’s inauguration speech itself was quite singularly lacking in previously-displayed positivism. His facility for speech is and has been, unfortunately, mistaken for wisdom. And he shall likely be predominantly overwhelmed.
I have never been a one-sided cheering squadron for the GOP in the past eight years; sometimes precisely the opposite. I am of the opinion that the Republicans left a great deal of Conservatism behind and President Bush was behind a number of those charges. I’ll not entertain a list but to only write that, “when all the political prairie winds were convergent, when the stars were in alignment and the tides proper, the Bush Administration failed to take advantage of a power situation — and oh yes, Congress as well, they’ll not be excused! — and take this nation to an entirely higher level.”

On the other hand, President Bush was most always transparent, and was most always decisive. He certainly failed to base his decisions on the above-mentioned public political prairie winds. He kept this sovereign nation safe since 9/11. I personally know of “events” that could have occurred but, with “applied purpose,” did not under his watch. There were, we have to admit, good things done the past eight years. All was not doom.

I wish I could point to a clear and present track of future success for this country. However, in consideration of the history of the Demorats and that of Mr. Obama’s past, I cannot help but think this country is in for its greatest challenge. I’ll address those challenges on a case-by-case basis and never lose the right to discuss those points. Or perhaps, that in and of itself will be a massive issue of contention if the verbiage of the Demorats comes to even partial fruition.

Though many will chide me, I’ll posit this: we’ll soon even wish for the return of President Bush.

And surely the stock market would boom directly due to the Barack Hussein Obama inauguration today? Stocks are lower, down 200 points: “The sell-off accelerated after the nation’s 44th president gave his inaugural address, which provided few new details about how to tackle the growing financial crisis that has rippled through every sector of the economy.” Is this the “change” on which we can count?

Bush was mocked as he took the inaugural podium.

Former President Carter completely ignored former President Clinton, as the two men did not appear to acknowledge each others presence at all during the inauguration. Click link for video.

The swearing-in oath was rife with stumbles. Not a good portent. Video here.

I’ll wager he’s not the only one, today.

God bless America. We’ll need each and every blessing.
