I love this story from Stop the ACLU about the double-amputee Iraq War veteran whose comments were recycled and taken grossly out of context suing Moore. I LOVE IT!! I am not the lawsuit-happy kind, but things like this are legitimate. This is what the court system is for, and, frankly it’s all liberals understand. I believe more liberals should be sued so that they can grasp the reasons that conservatives are conservative. I want to sue the ACLU one day. Many practitioners of the liberal religion have no values (in any case, God isn’t one of them), and they then look to the state as their God figure. The courts set forth the state’s judgments and liberals respect it. They believe that the government is the solution to everything - even moral problems, despite their outspoken aversion to having morals pushed on them by government. When liberals have to shell out millions of dollars and endure embarassment over their mistakes, they might grow up and learn how to function in this most civilized society.
There is a highly enlightened person who manages a weblog entitled Beaming Visionary. This guy is obviously the perfect example of an elitist snob who looks down upon everyone in flyover country, and thinks everyone who doesn’t agree with him is simply stupid.
My entry Supreme Court Declares Atheism National Religion yielded a lengthy correction from Beaming Visionary along with a wonderful display of elitist condescension. BV is clearly unhappy. I don’t know what he is so ticked off about, because the world is a beautiful place, but he’s apparently taking things WAY too seriously. BV felt like he needed to inform me of why I was wrong in my passage. It’s all on the comments page to that entry, but this is truly way too good to pass up. This guy actually seems like one of those people who has spent a couple years in college “learning stuff,” and has since decided to go on a typing rampage to change the world. He seems like someone who would get into a political argument and then declare his credentials as a “political science major” as a reason you should shut up and listen to him and only him the enlightened one. He would probably send me a big correction on my joke headline, “Supreme Court Finds Constitution Unconstitutional,” telling me why that is impossible.
What’s hilarious is what he wrote on his blog about stoptheaclu.com (emphasis added) - “As I have noted, the site is operated by a bunch of profoundly uneducated, Gawd-fearing, jingoistic far-righties whose posts and personas evoke an all-too-familar mixture of horror and guffaws. As is normally the case with the lunatic fringe, these shamelessly hypocritical adult infants delete comments that render their arguments (never fact-checked and drawn from joke sources such as WorldNutDaily.com and Michelle “Every-morning-I-dig-out-my-diseased-cooze-with-an-acid-soaked-cheese-grater” Malkin. Speaking of the profoundly uneducated, I wonder what BV would have to say about Russell County, KY and Munford County, TN using the “Say No to ACLU” approach to life.
BV, I refuse to delete your comments because I want everyone to know how hateful and wrong you are. I want everyone in this country to read your posts. For that reason, I’m going to repost some of your comments on a new entry.
BV: “I know you’re at an inherent disadvatage, being from Kentucky and all . . .”
Wow. You just made yourself look stupid.
“Even though I recognize that Christianity is — along with all religions — a world-class farce . . .”
You must have watched Agnes of God one too many times. You clearly don’t know Christianity as it is supposed to be, and quite frankly, that is probably not your fault. Christians haven’t done a good enough job reaching out to you and showing you what Christianity is all about and I am sorry.
“However, there are legal precedents supporting the ACLU’s actions in San Diego . . .”
The simple presence of legal precedent does not mean that the ACLU’s actions are right. The legal precedent may actually be wrong.
If you believe that atheism is a religion, then I guess you believe that “OFF” on your remote control represents a TV channel.”
No, not exactly. Atheism is a belief system, or a disbelief system if you like. The important thing to realize here is that no matter how hard you try, there is no escape from religion or something like it. Everybody believes in something, even if they say it is nothing. Atheists want their religion to be respected in matters such as the Pledge of Allegiance and “In God We Trust,” but in order to do so they would have to force stupid, ill-informed religious people to go along with the Atheism. Of course it goes back to the Constitution and its forbiddance of establishing a religion. The U.S. is not forcing anyone to be Jewish or Christian. I would recommend to Atheists that if you want to live in a nation where you can’t speak of God in public or in public buildings on public property on public time - start your own nation and write a new Constitution specifically forbidding such reprehensible actions. The fact of the matter is, though, you’re too fat, happy, and lazy here in the good old United States and you enjoy feeling intellectually superior. Have fun with that.
“Atheism is nothing more than the refusal of reasonable people to swallow your and other backwater morons’ insistence on creating a country with rules and statutes founded on supernatural nonsense.”
I have nothing left to say except that we should all pray for this guy.
I guess he really wants to be John Kerry more.
Watch MacBeth’s testimony here. Didn’t his description of killing the youngest son remind you of that one episode of “24″ where Bauer faked the killing of the terrorist’s child? Of course, Bauer was trying to save millions of people from a nuke.
Looks to me like MacBeth and his friends got some big ideas back in the 2004 election when the videos of John Kerry’s Winter Soldier testimony were being played all the time.
If liberal democrats had all the power they want, that would be the type of headline we would wake up to every day.
The ACLU and others who practice the liberal religion want to bring down the Mt. Soledad National War Memorial because the cross shape reminds them of Christianity and, thus, offends them. They say it violates that impenetrable wall that our forefathers wrote about that separates Church and State! (Since when do liberals care about our forefathers’ opinions - those slaveowning rapists!) Educated people know that the Constitution specifically prohibits the establishment of a national religion as well as the free exercise of religion.
For San Diego to put up a cross as part of a war memorial does nothing to establish a religion. If they wanted to do that, they might try to do something like indoctrinate schoolchildren while they’re away from their parents’ protection.
The secular culture is hypocritical because in their attempts to wipe out religion from the public eye, the public ear, television, our currency, government meetings, and from all form of government expenditures they are in turn trying to institute their own religion as the national religion. They want to establish their beliefs on God and impose them on the country. That is wrong and, thankfully, unconstitutional. In the long run, their efforts will prove to be a huge waste of time. However, right now the sane people of this country have a responsibility, and a challenge, to work in our everyday communities so that people truly understand this subject. Ignorant people will get swept away in the liberal religion’s lies and the decisions made by their judges. The most difficult task is to ensure that judges cite the Constitution only, and not meaningless documents written by irrelevant people.
Please get involved in this fight to save Mt. Soledad. President Bush would be right to issue an executive order transferring the land to the National Park Service.
This is what some genius on Louisville Mojo thinks about liberals and conservatives:

People who think this will one day be extinct like dinosaurs if conservatives continue working as they have for the last thirty years or so. Part of this work includes encouraging people to read Shelby Steele’s book White Guilt.
I am so proud of the Russell County High School seniors. They decided to interrupt the principal’s opening remarks in order to stand up and recite the Lord’s Prayer. (Read more about this at Stop the ACLU.) Action like this taken by 17 and 18 year-old young adults stands in such stark contrast to the idiotic protests of the 60’s and 70’s. It shoudn’t be any surprise, though, if you look at the courageous decisions made by the USA’s young people every day in terms of voluntary military enlistment and service.
Speaking of voluntary military service, we should all thank God every day for Richard Milhous Nixon and his wise decision to end the draft. In doing so, he allowed for the development of a culture in which military service, for the most part, is greatly honored. It’s hard to be skeptical of military personnel when you consider that the nature of their service is not compulsory, but voluntary. And of course, the arguments that practitioners of the liberal religion put forth about the relative intelligence of military personnel is so tired, false, and insulting that all it really does is make themselves and their liberal religion look wrong.
To recap: 9/11 happens. Government takes unprecedented action to fight terrorists abroad. Government attempts to take unprecedented action to fight terrorists within USA. Practitioners of the liberal religion block attempts to fight terrorists within USA. Government bureaucrats introduce mediocre measures to fight terrorists within USA - including this fiasco outlined by Michelle Malkin on Hot Air.
U.S. Marshals on flights are a good idea. Air Marshals would be well-equipped and well-trained and well worth their monetary cost should terrorists ever try to hijack another plane. BUT, as with nearly every government program, idiotic bureaucrats have ruined it.
Part of the value of air marshals is their anonymity. The idea that an air marshal could be lurking on nearly any flight in the USA is a deterrant to terrorists. Yet, idiotic bureaucrats concluded that the Air Marshals needed to abide by a DRESS CODE. Yes, a dress code. Plus, they had to identify themselves to airline staff prior to boarding. Doesn’t that reduce some of their anonymity? Wouldn’t that alert terrorists waiting to hijack the plane to which passengers they needed to kill first before carrying out the rest of their jihadist mission?
It is times like this when I wish we could disband all but the most essential government offices and programs. I wish airlines who can’t make profits would go out of business. The whole point of being in business is not to provide services, but to make profits. If your company can’t make profits, your company shouldn’t be in business. I also wish airlines could hire their own private security firms. I don’t understand why airlines are different from parking lots, or any other business. They’re not owned by the government, why do government bureaucrats feel like it’s their responsibility to determine security procedures for the airlines? A competent, well-equipped security firm would know the minute a terrorist walked into an airport. Yet we sit in shock and watch day old surveillance tapes of terrorists in airports the day after the WTC is knocked down.
Would Congress feel different about this if United 93 had made it to Washington unhindered by heroic passengers? Today, they risk all of our lives while flying around the country in private jets. If we want to fly, we have to do so on airlines that are propped up by the government, and under security regulations that prevent security from being attained while they assure us that everything possible is being done to assure safety. There are indeed endless safety instructions regarding cabin doors, oxygen masks, what aisle you’re sitting in, how to buckle your seatbelt, and everything else that is irrelevant to terrorism and the destruction of the airplane.
I prefer no security over the impression of security, and I wish they would let the airlines control their own airplanes.
I just found this post on Iraq the Model very intriguing. It is such an honest look at how one guy in Baghdad feels and what he thinks. Very refreshing in this time dominated by ridiculous commercialized lying media. Omission of truth is a lie, you know.
I absolutely agree with Patterico’s take on the Gitmo detainees trying to kill themselves. All I’m saying is, in order for liberals to understand this, we should allow the detainees to be counseled by physicians in the days leading up to their suicides, and of course the physicians should also help facilitate a torture-less death for the terrorists as well.
I’d like to make their last meals kosher.
I’m sure Michelle Malkin would agree with that.
Today I’m going to play for you a recording of S.M. Lockridge giving a sermon called “My King.” It’s amazing, people. Please listen to it. It’s about five minutes long, but it’s well worth it. You’ll get into it and not want him to stop.
Here it is. “My King,” by S.M. Lockridge.
In response to Colonel Steve’s entry on wikipedia-ing your birthday, I found some disturbing news.
My birthday -11/20- (which I share with my mother-in-law), I also share with Robert Byrd, Robert F. Kennedy, Joseph Biden, and James McCarthy. That’s horrible. My dad was born on 11/21, and I only missed that day by two minutes!!
Although, Robert Byrd hasn’t been bad lately. I think he’s feeling some pressure from a strong Republican in West Virginia - or conservative West Virginians screaming at him daily. If I remember correctly, he voted for Alito, the fence/citizenship bill, and against the bill allowing illegal aliens to keep their social security benefits accrued fraudulently and while here illegally.
I wish we could just emphasize the border itself right now, and worry about these twelve million people later. Although, I do agree with emphasizing, as the Senate did today, that English is the national language. If people don’t pass the proficiency test at the citizenship hearing, though, they must not be allowed citizenship. Otherwise, what is the point of having the rules and the tests!?
Unenforced rules are something I hate more than anything.
It doesn’t surprise me that guys like Durbin and Feingold didn’t vote for the border fence bill. Hugh Hewitt was surprised that that woman from Washington voted against it. I find it much more surprising that 83 Senators voted for the bill. There was one no-vote, maybe that was Boxer or Feinstein.
Listen to my very first podcast!!
I’m giddy as a schoolgirl over this. I’ve decided to do a verse of the day. I just randomly thought of this while trying to think of something to record myself saying. This was inspired by the sick, idiotic, and insane people of the Westboro Baptist Church who have been protesting at soldiers’ funerals with signs saying things like “Thank God for IEDs” and “God Hates America.” These people are obviously nuts, but it just really bothers me that they do this in the name of God. It seems to me that they must only look at the Bible, and not actually read it.
I might change my mind on this podcast topic in the future, but I will stick to it for now.
By the way, I do not profess to be anywhere near the most righteous of Christians. However, I do think that I have an understanding of God’s love that far supercedes that of anyone at the WBC. Therefore, I think I have something to give, and so I will give freely.
Maybe eventually I’ll even pay for the podcast hosting service so as to avoid ads.
These guys are crazy. Look at Michelle Malkin’s piece on the Senators who voted against Enforcement First. I’m proud that neither Senator McConnell nor Senator Bunning, both of KY, are not on this list. I’m glad to have the RINOs in Washington at times, but I encourage challenges to the RINOs by more conservative GOPers. These Senators truly belong at the zoo. West Virginia conservatives managed to move Senator Byrd on the judicial appointments and, something else (I think). If they can move that senile old man, surely Chafee and Collins can be affected. They need to be made to understand the fact that Conservatism is the key to re-election, not pandering.
I disagree with the current system of voting for Attorney General, Treasurer, Auditor, etc. I believe we should elect a Governor and Lieutenant Governor, who would then appoint qualified people to all of those positions. That is how it’s done in D.C. I don’t see why it should be different here. It strikes me that Governor Fletcher may have not been indicted if it hadn’t been for the Democrat Attorney General. Of course, I don’t remember details of the Patton scandals, but some of those may have been thwarted as well.
What I’m saying is: it seems to me that it would be easier for the executive branch of Kentucky’s government to be effective in a different system. The current system promotes quarreling among members of the same administration who are supposed to be working together. The Attorney General should be an honest aide to the Governor - not a political opponent. I think this is probably part of the reason that Kentucky is constantly locked into political stalemates, quarrels, scandals, revenge, etc. I mean, all that will happen in politics no matter what. However, I believe we should move to a more streamlined and effective form of government. I hate having to vote on umpteen different people. I want to vote for a few people in whom I will place much trust.
Secondly, I believe that Kentucky should move its primary elections forward a month or so. In the Presidential elections, our primary is always irrelevant to the candidates and the national news because there have already been numerous primaries which have already more or less decided where the nominations are going. If Kentucky would move its primary forward, closer to Iowa and New Hampshire, it would make Kentucky more visible nationally, more important to candidates, and most importantly, it would likely encourage more political self-education by Kentucky citizens. That is absolutely crucial to the growth of this state. Kentuckians need to be confident in their knowledge and their skills, and be willing to put them on display and counter the conventional wisdom that Kentuckians are uneducated, lazy fools. Meanwhile, we need to also work to be sure that the conventional wisdom is incorrect.
I swear!! EVerybody is missing the point about Bush and his immigration policy. Nobody grasps it. I haven’t heard a single person out there with an explanation that makes sense on all fronts.
I honestly think Bush knows that the immigration problem will not be solved overnight - or within the next two years. He is taking this approach because in all truth, no matter what he wants to do or says he’s going to do, he’s not going to be able to do much more than what he’s saying he will do. Right now, he’s talking about a moderate fight in order to get done what is possible, and he’s leaving the spot open for a more conservative (and more correct) candidate to win in Congressional elections and the ‘08 Presidential election.
He could take the House Bill and run with it, but the Senate will not pass it no matter what. If the Senate would not pass Social Security reform, why would they pass the House’s immigration bill? Bush, Republicans, and hard-core Conservatives alike ALL NEED there to be a few more Republicans in Congress. Then we can pass Social Security reform and real immigration reform/enforcement. The moderate, idiotic Republicans like Lincoln Chafee would jump on the bandwagon and things would happen. Nothing will happen until 2008 or 2009, though. Bush is building credibility with people outside of his party because it’s all he can do right now. Conservatives will vote Republican. His stance will encourage moderates to vote Republican.
My message to Conservatives (myself included): BE PATIENT!! Things take time, especially in Washington D.C. Vote Republican and you will get what you want.
Because of Bush’s present stance we can say, “Bush did a lot of things right, and he did some things wrong, too. Where Bush went wrong, ::fill in Candidate’s name here:: will go right.” Republicans have to keep winning before they can continue correcting the mistakes of the past.
Is anyone taking bets on whether or not Bush will be blamed for some or all of the death toll if that volcano in Indonesia turns the island into another Pompeii? If Churchill Downs weren’t dark today, I might trek through the shady hood surrounding the track and place some bets. FOX is reporting this much so far, now you decide.
Don’t forget about the devastating environmental consequences that the world community will undoubtedly suffer as a result of Bush’s incompetence. America must bear the burden of this impending disaster, seeing as how our environmental policies will certainly prove to be the main cause of the impending disaster. Al Gore should organize his telethon now to raise money for the victims of America’s arrogance. Yeah, I’d love to see how much dough he could raise. Although, that may be one awesome solution to the how to stop Billary question.
If this report, a translation of Iraqi daily az-Zaman, is true then the United States definitely needs to take some serious military action in Iran to, at the very least, stop Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps from distributing weapons to al-Qaida in Iraq. I wonder if that sort of distraction would result in reduced explosions in Iraq. I suppose it would be difficult to conduct a small military strike in Iran, though. Oh well, I guess we’ll have to go full-scale!!
Thanks to Iraq the Model for bringing me this news.
The national debate on this topic is so elementary. I wish people on television would initiate a serious discussion of the facts, laws, and potential consequences of this situation. If only Congress would publicly grasp the facts surrounding this case. They understand it, they just act like they don’t. Senator Lindsey Graham (REPUBLICAN-SC) said, “The idea of collecting millions or thousands of phone numbers — how does that fit into following the enemy?” What an idiot!! I hope he gets voted out of office for saying something so ridiculous. You know the other guys - Durbin, Leahy. Michelle Malkin had a great “Meet the NSA” video piece on Hot Air Friday. Everyone should watch it, especially Senators.
