Terrorist caught in Miami over night...

[flew-da-coup]

The media makes me sick. They say that the terrorist busted this morning were all American citizens, but they don't tell you that they were all Muslim. I had to dig to find this out. The interviews with locals that have talked to the terrorist before they were busted say that the terrorist claimed to be "peace loving Muslims". They all claim that I I don't believe any of them. All Muslims are terrorist. A peaceful Muslim is a dead Muslim. When are we going to wake up and realize that we can't have any of them in our country. Is there anyone here who actually believes not all Muslims are terrorist? If you do you are a idiot. I call for the exportation of all Muslims and those who support them. Yes, I hate Muslims. All of them...

A GERMAN THOUGHT

If any of you still feel that this war on terror is a mistake, here is an opinion from an unexpected source.   This is not a problem that is going to be easy to solve.   It is the struggle to maintain our Western way of life and the very culture that has made it possible.   Lose this one, and our grandchildren may be speaking Arabic, those of them that survive the "conversion".

Look at what has been happening in Europe the last couple of weeks.   For all practical purposes, they won Spain without any effort on their part other than a couple of bombs in public places.   Now they are burning Paris and hitting on Holland and Belgium.

It's fascinating that this should come out of Europe.  Mathias Dapfner, Chief Executive of the huge German publisher Axel Springer AG, has written a blistering attack in DIE WELT, Germany's largest daily paper, against the timid reaction of Europe in the face of the Islamic threat.  This is a must-read by all Americans.  History will certify its correctness.
   
EUROPE - THY NAME IS COWARDICE
(Commentary by Mathias Dapfner CEO, Axel Springer, AG)

A few days ago Henry Broder wrote in Welt am Sonntag, "Europe - your family name is appeasement."   It's a phrase you can't get out of your head because it's so terribly true.

Appeasement cost millions of Jews and non-Jews their lives, as England and France, allies at the time, negotiated and hesitated too long before they noticed that Hitler had to be fought, not bound to toothless agreements.

Appeasement legitimized and stabilized Communism in the Soviet Union, then East Germany, then all the rest of Eastern Europe, where for decades, inhuman suppressive, murderous governments were glorified as the ideologically correct alternative to all other possibilities.

Appeasement crippled Europe when genocide ran rampant in Kosovo, and even though we had absolute proof of ongoing mass-murder, we Europeans debated and debated and debated, and were still debating when finally the Americans had to come from halfway around the world, into Europe yet again, and do our work for us.

Rather than protecting democracy in the Middle East, European Appeasement, camouflaged behind the fuzzy word "equidistance," now countenances suicide bombings in Israel by fundamentalist Palestinians.

Appeasement generates a mentality that allows Europe to ignore nearly 500,000 victims of Saddam's torture and murder machinery and, motivated by the self-righteousness of the peace movement, has the gall to issue bad grades to George Bush .. Even as it is uncovered that the loudest critics of the American action in Iraq made illicit billions, no, TENS of billions, in the corrupt U.N Oil-for-Food program.

And now we are faced with a particularly grotesque form of appeasement.   How is Germany reacting to the escalating violence by Islamic Fundamentalists in Holland and elsewhere?   By suggesting that we really should have a "Muslim Holiday" in Germany?

I wish I were joking, but I am not.   A substantial fraction of our (German) Government, and if the polls are to be believed, the German people, actually believe that creating an Official State "Muslim Holiday" will somehow spare us from the wrath of the fanatical Islamists.

One cannot help but recall Britain's Neville Chamberlain waving the laughable treaty signed by Adolph Hitler and declaring European "Peace in our time".

What else has to happen before the European public and its political leadership get it?   There is a sort of crusade underway, an especially perfidious crusade consisting of systematic attacks by fanatic Muslims, focused on civilians, directed against our free, open Western societies, and intent upon Western Civilization's utter destruction.

It is a conflict that will most likely last longer than any of the great military conflicts of the last century - a conflict conducted by an enemy that cannot be tamed by "tolerance" and "accommodation" but is actually spurred on by such gestures, which have proven to be, and will always be taken by the Islamists for signs of weakness.   Only two recent American Presidents had the courage needed for Anti-appeasement: Reagan and Bush.

His American critics may quibble over the details, but we Europeans know the truth   We saw it first hand: Ronald Reagan ended the Cold War, freeing half of the German people from nearly 50 years of terror and virtual slavery.   And Bush, supported only by the Social Democrat Blair, acting on moral conviction, recognized the danger in the Islamic War against Democracy.   His place in history will have to be evaluated after a number of years have passed.

In the meantime, Europe sits back with charismatic self-confidence in the multicultural corner, instead of defending liberal society's values and being an attractive center of power on the same playing field as the true great powers, America and China.

On the contrary - we Europeans present ourselves, in contrast to those "arrogant Americans", as the World Champions of "tolerance", which even (Germany's Interior Minister) Otto Schily justifiably criticizes.

Why?   Because we're so moral?   I fear it's more because we're so materialistic, so devoid of a moral compass.

For his policies, Bush risks the fall of the dollar, huge amounts of additional national debt, and a massive and persistent burden on the American economy - because unlike almost all of Europe, Bush realizes what is at stake - literally everything.

While we criticize the "capitalistic robber barons" of America because they seem too sure of their priorities, we timidly defend our Social Welfare systems.   Stay out of it!  It could get expensive!   We'd rather discuss reducing our 35-hour workweek or our dental coverage, or our 4 weeks of paid vacation ... Or listen to TV pastors preach about the need to "reach out to terrorists.   To understand and forgive".

These days, Europe reminds me of an old woman who, with shaking hands, frantically hides her last pieces of jewelry when she notices a robber breaking into a neighbor's house.

Appeasement?

Europe, thy name is Cowardice.
---God Bless America---

When Will NYT Reveal One of al Qaeda's Secret Programs?
by Ann Coulter
Posted Jun 28, 2006

When is the New York Times going to get around to uncovering an al Qaeda secret program?

In the latest of a long list of formerly top-secret government anti-terrorism operations that have been revealed by the Times, last week the paper printed the details of a government program tracking terrorists' financial transactions that has already led to the capture of major terrorists and their handmaidens in the United States.

In response, the Bush Administration is sounding very cross -- and doing nothing. Bush wouldn't want to get the press mad at him! Yeah, let's keep the media on our good side like they are now. Otherwise, they might do something crazy -- like leak a classified government program monitoring terrorist financing.

National Review has boldly called for the revocation of the Times' White House press pass! If the Times starts publishing troop movements, National Review will go whole hog and demand that the paper's water cooler privileges be revoked. Then there's always the "nuclear option": disinviting Maureen Dowd from the next White House Correspondents' Dinner.

Meanwhile, the one congressman who has called for any sort of criminal investigation is being treated like a nut. Don't get me wrong: Congressman Peter King is nuttier than squirrel droppings -- but he's right on this.

Unless, that is, the country has simply abolished the concept of treason. We've got a lot of liberals who hate the country and are itching to aid the enemy, so what are you going to do? Indict the entire editorial board of the New York Times? (Actually, that wouldn't be a bad place to start, now that I ask.)

Maybe treason ended during the Vietnam War when Jane Fonda sat laughing and clapping on a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun used to shoot down American pilots. She came home and resumed her work as a big movie star without the slightest fear of facing any sort of legal sanction.

Fast forward to today, when New York Times publisher "Pinch" Sulzberger has just been named al Qaeda's "Employee of the Month" for the 12th straight month.

Before the Vietnam War, this country took treason seriously.

But now we're told newspapers have a right to commit treason because of "freedom of the press." Liberals invoke "freedom of the press" like some talismanic formulation that requires us all to fall prostrate in religious ecstasy. On liberals' theory of the 1st Amendment, the safest place for Osama bin Laden isn't in Afghanistan or Pakistan; it's in the New York Times building.

Freedom of the press means the government generally cannot place a prior restraint on speech before publication.

But freedom of the press does not mean the government cannot prosecute reporters and editors for treason -- or for any other crime. The 1st Amendment does not mean Times editor Bill Keller could kidnap a child and issue his ransom demands from the New York Times editorial page. He could not order a contract killing on the op-ed page. Nor can he take out a contract killing on Americans with a Page 1 story on a secret government program being used to track terrorists who are trying to kill Americans.

What if, instead of passing information from the government's secret nuclear program at Los Alamos directly to Soviet agents, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg had printed those same secrets in a newsletter? Would they have skated away scot-free instead of being tried for espionage and sent to the death chamber?

Ezra Pound, Mildred Gillars ("Axis Sally") and Iva Toguri D'Aquino ("Tokyo Rose") were all charged with treason for radio broadcasts intended to demoralize the troops during World War II. Their broadcasts were sort of like Janeane Garofalo and Randi Rhodes on Air America Radio -- except Tokyo Rose was actually witty, and Axis Sally is said to have used a fact-checker.

Tokyo Rose was convicted of treason for a single remark she made on air: "Orphans of the Pacific, you really are orphans now. How will you get home now that your ships are sunk?" For that statement alone, D'Aquino spent six years in prison and was fined $10,000 (more than $80,000 in today's dollars).

Axis Sally was convicted of treason for broadcasts from Germany and sentenced to 12 years in prison. Pound avoided a treason trial for his radio broadcasts by getting himself committed to an insane asylum instead (which I take it is Randi Rhodes' "Plan B" in the event that she ever acquires enough listeners to be charged with treason).

There was no evidence that in any of these cases the treasonable broadcasts ever put a single American life in danger. The law on treason doesn't require it.

The federal statute on treason, 18 USC 2381, provides in relevant part: "Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States ... adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000."

Thanks to the New York Times, the easiest job in the world right now is: "Head of Counterintelligence -- al Qaeda." You just have to read the New York Times over morning coffee, and you're done by 10 a.m.

The greatest threat to the war on terrorism isn't the Islamic insurgency -- our military can handle the savages. It's traitorous liberals trying to lose the war at home. And the greatest threat at home isn't traitorous liberals -- it's patriotic Americans, also known as "Republicans," tut-tutting the quaint idea that we should take treason seriously.

WASHINGTON


The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that President Bush overstepped his authority in ordering military war crimes trials for Guantanamo Bay detainees.

The ruling, a rebuke to the administration and its aggressive anti- terror policies, was written by Justice John Paul Stevens, who said the proposed trials were illegal under U.S. law and Geneva conventions.



The case focused on Salim Ahmed Hamdan, a Yemeni who worked as a bodyguard and driver for Osama bin Laden. Hamdan, 36, has spent four years in the U.S. prison in Cuba. He faces a single count of conspiring against U.S. citizens from 1996 to November 2001.

Two years ago, the court rejected Bush's claim to have the authority to seize and detain terrorism suspects and indefinitely deny them access to courts or lawyers. In this followup case, the justices focused solely on the issue of trials for some of the men.

The vote was split 5-3, with moderate Justice Anthony M. Kennedy joining the court's liberal members in ruling against the Bush administration. Chief Justice John Roberts, named to the lead the court last September by Bush, was sidelined in the case because as an appeals court judge he had backed the government over Hamdan.

Thursday's ruling overturned that decision.

 AHHHHHHH!  This country's resolve has gone to hell!  I'm so frustrated I just want to go to Washington and beat some sense into these terrorist colaborators we have in office.  Blocking every effort to PROSECUTE THE GUILTY!  These are not "freedom fighters", they do not have a right to out legal system, they are criminals bent on the destruction of western civilization.  Convert or die, it's that simple.  If you can't understand just how much of a danger these people are then just wait.  There will be something else happen, probably after the dems have suceeded in convincing the pres to pull out, that will force us right back over there.  Now, I think that Bush will have the foresight not to pull out, but I think that there is going to have to be some horrible event to make these people see just how bad we need to win.  More than likely it will be something that will include family members of the House and/or Congress or the members themselves before that point is made.
    I desperately hope that this country does not kill itself because nothing could be agreed upon for the defense of this country.  The more of a divide that forms in those that are in control of this war, the less will get done.  Are we doomed to fall not to the enemy, but to our own short-sightedness?  Fighting a war on two front has never been solid strategy, but that is what we are forced to do now.  Al Queda and the rest of the Muslims on one side, and then the democrats, New York Times, "mainstream" media on the other.  Now lets tear down this "free speech" facade that the media has been using to undercut the president and our military and start handing out some ass whoopin' to those treasonous traitors.

Preach it Coby

[docbyers]

Preaching to us here on the website won't do you much good; it'll make you feel better, but that's about it.

Write to your representative in Congress and your senator, write to the President.  Tell them what you think and how you feel.  With a barrage of letters from the common folk, maybe they will get the message and do the right thing.

[flew-da-coup]

I don't think that even works anymore. Look at the public outcry over illegal immigration and the whole Senate turned and looked the other way. A bunch of them think that they know better than us common folk and forget that they are common folk too. They have become elitist and that is a dangerous mix. If they keep this path wave bye bye to representation. They have become little dictators in a way. The arrogance makes me sick to my stomach. That is why we need term limits, but that won't happen due to the amount of career politicians that won't go away ie, Ted Kennedy and the like.  They go in with good intentions and get sucked in by the power and the power begins to corrupt and then they become elitest. It's political evolution. When congress won't do anything about the illegal immigration problem then we need to take things into our own hands. Our forefathers gave us that right to protect ourselves and country when the government fails to do so. Go to the border and shoot a Mexican. You will feel better about the political garbage in Washington after blinking a few Mexicans crossing the Rio Grande. They all start out good and become bastards.

[dallanta]

  Shooting a politician would be better, at least there are a limited supply of them.
  Docbyers, EUROPE - THY NAME IS COWARDICE,  that is great, thanks for posting that.
