Hamas Uses Human Shields (Dah!)

Iraq, Islam, Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, Jihad, Left-Liberalism And Progressivisim, Propaganda, Terrorism, The West

The liberal mindset infesting the West cannot comprehend what the hopelessly left-liberal Israel is up against.

A picture paints a thousand words:

Here Gazans, acting as an Ummah, casually describe the practice of galvanizing warm bodies behind which their warriors can cower. And Terror TV reports the protocol straight faced, with embellishments. What liberals—the far left as well as the far-gone libertarian and paleo factions—don’t get, is what Hamas’s Ismail Haniya explained quite clearly.

Having figured out Israel’s Achilles Heel some time ago, Haniya once snorted to the Washington Post: “Palestinians have Israelis on the run, because they have found their weak spot: Jews love life more than other people, and they prefer not to die.”

Jews To The Ovens!

Anti-Semitism, IMMIGRATION, Islam, Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, Jihad

A pinko awakens to the reality of importing savagery by mass immigration (via VDARE.com):

The text:

“This morning I watched a frightening episode in the public life of America. It was a demonstration by, say, 200 Muslim immigrants in Fort Lauderdale against the Israeli air strikes over Gaza. Now, the first amendment protects such demos, and I would not for a moment want to curb them. But I ask each of you to pay attention to the details of what was being shouted. Especially by the young women screaming, ‘Jews to the ovens.’ No jihad in America, huh? Do we want such immigrants in our country?”

And this from a 2004 VDARE.com column of mine, “Muslim Immigration Time Bomb Ignored by American Jews”:

“A gathering danger threatens the Jews of America—to whom George Washington promised peace and goodwill in a 1790 address to a synagogue congregation in Newport, Rhode Island.” …

“In Canada, Muslims now greatly outnumber Jews. What remains of a European Jewry devastated by the Holocaust comes under daily assaults and threats, mostly from the 20-million strong Muslim community.”

“American Jewry is next. Second only to another immigrant constituency—Latinos—the relatively new (roughly 30-year-old) Muslim community is the most anti-Semitic community in the U.S.”

“But its exponential growth through immigration has failed to alarm Jewish leaders. Listening to them, you would think that the chief dangers to Jewish continuity are marauding Mormons (their sin is converting dead Jews) or Mel Gibson, whose movie The Passion of the Christ, they predicted, would unleash “pogroms in Pittsburgh.'”

America Will Soon Owe More Than Its Citizens Are Worth

Economy, Federal Reserve Bank, Inflation, Political Economy

I’ve frequently warned about America’s overall debt: “Government debt is $70 trillion: $9 trillion plus the unfunded liabilities of ‘Medicare, pension, and Social Security programs.‘”

David M. Walker, former Comptroller General of the United States, is one of the few power brokers who’s been sounding the same alarm. The Peter G. Peterson Foundation, with which Walker is now affiliated, reported:

“NEW YORK (Dec. 15, 2008) – The sum of America’s liabilities and other financial commitments now exceeds the collective net worth of its citizens, the Peter G. Peterson Foundation has calculated using the latest official data. Growth in the government’s unfunded promises for social insurance programs such as Medicare, combined with a drop in Americans’ net worth due in part by lower home equity values, is causing this unprecedented milestone.”

“The Foundation’s calculations are based primarily on the new consolidated federal financial statements as of September 30, 2008 which do not reflect the additional toll taken by more recent market declines, bailout packages, and record October and November deficits. The financial statements show approximately $56.4 trillion in debts, liabilities, and unfunded promises for Medicare and Social Security versus the Federal Reserve’s estimate a total household net worth of $56.5 trillion, both as of September 30, 2008.”

“Given more recent developments, it’s clear that America now owes more than its citizens are worth,” said Foundation President and CEO David M. Walker. ‘Passing this shocking milestone highlights the need for President-elect Obama and the next Congress not only to turn the economy around and boost consumer confidence, but to put a process in place that will lead to tough choices getting made to strengthen the government’s financial condition once the economy begins growing again.'”

The Stupid Party Needs A Bigger Tent (Or, A Bigger Tin-Foil Hat)

Intelligence, Liberty, Republicans, Ron Paul

Listen to the clowns vying for the chairmanship of the RNC, as they pule about “reaching out” to Ron Paul supporters:

Aren’t they stupid? Deeply and profoundly stupid.

One after the other, each huckster proceeds to misconstrue the Ron Paul Revolution. Each sounds off, as dumbly as any female on The View, about the passion and the personality that united Paulites.

Wrong: Ron Paul’s appeal, as he has always insisted perceptively, was in the ideas of liberty. Paul, an impish and ascetic gentleman, is hardly a larger-than-life, expansive personality.

But his ideas are.

Paul’s unequivocal commitment to these eternal verities has made him the legend he has become. His supporters, myself included, gravitated to liberty as articulated by the Thomas Jefferson of our times.

Not one of these RNC asses with ears understood, or articulated, this simple fact.
