 OUTRAGED MUSLIMS! OH MY!
We wake up this morning to see video on CNN
showing rampaging Muslims around the world. In Europe, the Middle East,
the Pacific Rim ... Muslim Mobs spreading mayhem. It seems that
these mighty mad Muslims are rioting and
firing their ever-present AK-47s into the air because of cartoons. Yup ...
this latest epidemic of Muslim outrage comes to us because some newspapers in
Norway and Denmark published some cartoons depicting Mohammed. In fact ...
here is one of my favorites!
Admit it, this turban/bomb thing could be the
next big fashion hit on the Muslim street!
Muslim outrage huh. OK ... let's do a
little historical review. Just some lowlights:
- Muslims fly commercial airliners into
buildings in New York City. No Muslim outrage.
- Muslim officials block the exit where school
girls are trying to escape a burning building because their faces were
exposed. No Muslim outrage.
- Muslims cut off the heads of three teenaged
girls on their way to school in Indonesia. A Christian school.
No Muslim outrage.
- Muslims murder teachers trying to teach Muslim
children in Iraq. No Muslim outrage.
- Muslims murder over 80 tourists with car bombs
outside cafes and hotels in Egypt. No Muslim outrage.
- A Muslim attacks a missionary children's
school in India. Kills six. No Muslim outrage.
- Muslims slaughter hundreds of children and
teachers in Beslan, Russia. Muslims shoot children in the back.
No Muslim outrage.
- Let's go way back. Muslims kidnap and
kill athletes at the Munich Summer Olympics. No Muslim outrage.
- Muslims fire rocket-propelled grenades into
schools full of children in Israel. No Muslim outrage.
- Muslims murder more than 50 commuters in
attacks on London subways and busses. Over 700 are injured. No
Muslim outrage.
- Muslims massacre dozens of innocents at a
Passover Seder. No Muslim outrage.
- Muslims murder innocent vacationers in
Bali. No Muslim outrage.
- Muslim newspapers publish anti-Semitic
cartoons. No Muslim outrage
- Muslims are involved, on one side or the
other, in almost every one of the 125+ shooting wars around the world.
No Muslim outrage.
- Muslims beat the charred bodies of Western
civilians with their shoes, then hang them from a bridge. No Muslim
outrage.
- Newspapers in Denmark and Norway publish
cartoons depicting Mohammed. Muslims are
outraged.
Dead children. Dead tourists. Dead
teachers. Dead doctors and nurses. Death, destruction and mayhem
around the world at the hands of Muslims .. no Muslim outrage ... but publish a
cartoon depicting Mohammed with a bomb in his turban and all hell breaks loose.
Come on, is this really about cartoons?
They're rampaging and burning flags. They're looking for Europeans to
kidnap. They're threatening innkeepers and generally raising holy
Muslim hell not because of any outrage over a cartoon. They're outraged
because it is part of the Islamic jihadist culture to be outraged. You
don't really need a reason. You just need an excuse. Wandering
around, destroying property, murdering children, firing guns into the air and
feigning outrage over the slightest perceived insult is to a jihadist what
tailgating is to a Steeler's fan.
I know and understand that these bloodthirsty
murderers do not represent the majority of the world's Muslims. When,
though, do they become outraged? When do they take to the streets
to express their outrage at the radicals who are making their religion the
object of worldwide hatred and ridicule? Islamic writer Salman
Rushdie wrote of these silent Muslims in a New York Times article three
years ago. "As their ancient, deeply civilized culture of love, art and philosophical reflection is hijacked by paranoiacs, racists, liars, male supremacists, tyrants, fanatics and violence junkies, why are they not screaming?"
Indeed. Why not?
SUPER BOWL
I don't know how to break this to all of the jock
sniffers out there, but I'm no more interested in the fact that there's a
football game this weekend than I am in Barbra Streisand's latest studio
recording session. Knock yourselves out. Have fun.
PLAYING THE NAZI CARD
 Julian Bond is a fool.
The one sure sign that a liberal has run out of ideas is when they
accuse you of being a Nazi. It's a natural fall-back position...an admission of defeat. So it should come as no surprise that Julian Bond...Chairman of the NAACP....has
accused the Republican Party of being Nazis. Said Bond: "The Republican Party would have the American flag and the swastika flying side by side."
What a jerk.
But Bond didn't stop there. The idiocy continued to emanate from his podium this week in a speech at Fayetteville State University in North Carolina. He called Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice tokens.
There's nothing like an accomplished and successful black who isn't a liberal to
frighten the likes of Julian Bond.
Among some of his other declarations:
- George W. Bush is a liar. Of course, like all good leftists, he provides no proof. This is because there isn't any.
- He said George W. Bush's lies (which he can't delineate) are more serious than Bill Clinton's because Clinton's lies didn't kill people. That's an interesting position. Bill Clinton lied to a grand jury...something we're supposed to ignore...but Karl Rove should be marched out of the White House for supposedly doing just that.
- He called former Attorney General John Ashcroft "J. Edgar Ashcroft." Isn't that special. At least Ashcroft never wore a
dress. Well, at least as far as we know.
Let me tell you what's really upsetting
Bond. He foresees the end of the black culture of victimization.
Home ownership among black Americans is at an all-time high, as are
incomes. Blacks are graduating from colleges in record numbers and moving
into highly paid jobs in finance, law, medicine, business and industry.
More and more black Americans are abandoning their victimhood for the sweet life
of accomplishment brought about by full participation in our free market
economy. The less blacks see themselves as victims, the less they need
organizations like the NAACP, and the less they need old, lame war horses like
Julian Bond. In short, Julian is upset about his loss of influence and
relevancy, and is resorting to old bromides to gain the spotlight again.
Sad, really.
So the leader of the NAACP has compared the GOP to Nazis. Watch how the mainstream media
generally ignores this. Imagine if a Republican had said it about the Democrats. Welcome to media bias 101.
BOEHNER TAKES OVER DELAY POST
Republicans in the House have elected a
new Majority Leader in the person of Ohio Congressman John Boehner. This is an upset over the person who was expected to win, Tom DeLay lieutenant Roy Blunt of Missouri. So what does this mean?
Not much. Unless the Republicans get back to their roots of pushing for smaller government, lower taxes and less regulation...things
look a bit dangerous for this fall's mid-term elections. In addition, will Boehner push serious lobbying reform? Will they have learned from the Jack Abramoff scandal?
We shall see. The House Majority Leader position is not quite the job that it used to be. If the GOP isn't careful, Boehner could be the House Minority Leader come January.
Okay, this is a bit of a stretch, but we're just having fun here...
REDNECK SCRAP BOOK
Wouldn't it be fun to have
this,
this,
this and
this sitting in your
driveway? More in the Redneck Scrap Book.
READING ASSIGNMENTS
Having an office spouse can
improve your
success at work.
Here are some of the cartoons that are causing all of the outrage in the
Muslim world. Fairly tame, if you ask me.
Quick...what country has the largest inventory of ballistic missiles in the
Middle East? Israel? Nope. Egypt? Nope. Guess again.
How about Iran? That's a comforting thought...but it's true.
It would seem Alec Baldwin doesn't like Zell Miller too much. He blasted
Democratic Senators, who were unable to block Samuel Alito's nomination, and
called them names. Priceless!
Mort Kondracke says all this talk about the president and Democrats working
together is just that...talk. He says both sides are digging in for all-out
political war.
Charles Krauthammer has an interesting point of view. He says the Hamas
victory in the Palestinian territories is a good thing. It shows what the
voters who live there are thinking, so now the world can stop pretending
otherwise.
There are those who say Democracy doesn't always work wherever it's tried, but
Mona Charen points to several successes around the world in the last hundred
years. For instance, Japan. And Germany.
Larry Sabato looks at the Democrats' chances to take back the statehouses around
the country this fall. Right now the Republicans hold 28 governorships to
the Democrats' 22. But there are many unpopular Republican governors.
Now we're talking...officials at the nuclear lab in Livermore, California have a
new weapon for their guards.
A six-barrel Gatling gun that can fire 50 rounds a second. I don't think
anybody will be breaking in anytime soon.
The Senate has passed $70 billion tax cuts. Over 5 years. Big deal. The
main thing is the bill holds off the ridiculous Alternative Minimum Tax. How
about passing the FairTax instead, boys? (and girls.)
Newspapers, which are on the way to becoming completely obsolete, are looking
for a new audience. You know, different from the one currently wrapped
around dead fish and lining the bottom of bird cages.
