Learning from History

Here is a great lesson in history and leadership. If this lesson is not learned, then prepare your prayer rug and slap a burka over your women. I am getting ready for us to lose, even though I am praying for the opposite.

WorldWatch - June 3, 2007 - Learning from History - The Ornery American: "So the question remains: Are we too stupid to learn from history? Must we, on the verge of victory, turn our future over to the fools and appeasers?

That's what the polls are saying right now. Those polls will change. But, as with England in 1939, the polls will change too late. Without leadership, the people do not see the danger in time.

Americans just want to be left alone. Our enemies are determined not to leave us alone. But our media, our intellectuals, and the Democratic Party are trying to soothe us and assure us that we don't actually have to fight anybody. We can win just by sitting still and ... being America.

America didn't get to be America by sitting still."

Murder rates in Britian by non-Brits

Excellent number crunching by a good mind. The full facts and figures are nice to see and it helps to make the dangerous situation easier to understand. Read this! It is key to an understanding about how the governments are selling out the people in the name of Political Correctness.

Blogger: RECONQUISTA - Post a Comment: "Murder rates Brit natives/non-Brits In Britain The idea for this talk, and the basic numbers, were given to me by a man on the internet who uses the screen-name “alanorei”. Thank you alan.

Let’s take a look at some of the murders in this country for the two and a half years from January 2005 up until two weeks ago when PC Henry was murdered in Luton (by an illegal immigrant from Nigeria). It must first be said that the majority of murders in Britain are of non-Brits by non-Brits, and of Brits by Brits. Apart from the sheer rate at which non-Brits are murdering each other compared to their overall numbers, these two sets of figures are uncontroversial."

The Docs of War

Australia/Israel Review - The Docs of War: "According to Butt, people like Brown hope the problem of Islamic extremism will disappear if they repeat the mantra that Islam is a religion of peace and refuse to confront the “difficult and often complex truth that Islam can be interpreted as condoning violence against the unbeliever.”

Wars, he points out, cannot be won through denial, the psychological defence system by which people protect themselves from individuals or groups which are perceived to threaten or discomfort them. “Yet, in ways large and small, Western leaders and institutions deliberately avert their gaze from the reality of the Islamist threat.”

Gordon Brown is going through a period of not-so-subtle disengagement from the largely unqualified support for Washington that had been the default position of Tony Blair. Bending the knee to the Muslim community might be part of that process."

European Socialists Take Aim at "Islamophobia" | The Brussels Journal

European Socialists Take Aim at "Islamophobia" | The Brussels Journal: "Socialists in the EU Parliament are pushing for a “Judeo-Christian-Islamic” Europe, whatever that is. Islam has nothing to do with European culture, regardless of what the European Union might say. Notice also that the EUrabians are very preoccupied with the “grievances” of Muslims. Nobody ever asks native Europeans about our “legitimate grievances.” Since we are Christians and – dare I say – white, we do not by definition have any.

A newspaper in my country stated that we should cooperate with the Muslim Brotherhood because they are so “moderate.” Earlier this year the current leader of the MB, Mahdi Akef, stated that the ongoing Jihad will smash Western civilization. Akef decreed that in the event that Muslims cannot achieve this goal in the near future, “Muslims are obliged to continue the jihad that will cause the collapse of Western civilization and the ascendance of the Muslim civilization on its ruins.” The spiritual leader of the Brotherhood, Yusuf al-Qaradawi, has voiced his support for suicide bombings and publicly boasted about how Muslims will conquer Europe."

Gaza 'Under Siege'?

Collactive: HonestReporting - Gaza 'Under Siege'?: "Despite Hamas's claims to have 'restored law and order' in the Gaza Strip, the terror organization has done nothing to prevent Qassam missiles from raining down on Sderot and the surrounding region. Hamas has even launched mortars at the very border crossings that serve as a lifeline to the Palestinian population. In addition, kidnapped Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit continues to be held in Gaza. Any reasonable analysis of the situation would conclude that Israel, having previously withdrawn from Gaza, would be under no obligation to aid such a hostile entity.

The New York Times / International Herald Tribune reports from the Kerem Shalom border crossing: 'between mortar attacks by Hamas and other militants, about 20 truckloads of milk products, meat, medicines and eggs passed from Israel into Gaza, part of the effort to keep basic commodities reaching the 1.5 million Palestinians of the largely isolated strip.' The article highlights mortar attacks on the crossing. Likewise, The Times of London also acknowledges the dilemma of closing the border and the need for restrictions on trade as well as the impact on the Palestinians."

The Death of Sweden

The Viking blood is so thin and full of self-disgust that they are now fighting to make themselves extinct. I am going to be sick. Fight back! Europe is not that horrible! Being white is not a crime! The world is full of interesting and wonderful things because of the Europeans. Did they do some horrible things? Sure, but not as much as it seems if one listens to the Leftists. Send the Left away and return to life!

The Death of Sweden | The Brussels Journal: "According to some observers, Islamophobic hatred is on the rise in Europe. Let's have a look at what constitutes 'racist hatred.' The following is used as an official example of what is considered an Islamophobic hate crime in Sweden: A Muslim family in a Swedish neighborhood asks whether it is possible for them to get something else to eat other than sausages made out of pork. Linda then answers: 'No, we live in Sweden.' The family asks what she means by that. Linda repeats that 'We live in Sweden, and you have to respect that.' The man of the family says that 'We respect you, why can't you respect us?' Linda then replies that 'No, unfortunately not.' She laughs and walks away.

Contrast this with an example from 2006, when Chancellor of Justice Göran Lambertz discontinued his preliminary investigation regarding anti-Semitism at the great mosque in Stockholm. He wrote that 'the lecture at hand contains statements that are strongly degrading to Jews, among other things, they are throughout called brothers of apes and pigs.' Furthermore a curse is expressed over the Jews and 'Jihad is called for, to kill the Jews, whereby suicide bombers – celebrated as martyrs – are the most effective weapon.' Lambertz thought that the "recently mentioned statements in spite of their contents are not to be considered incitement against an ethnic group according to Swedish law." His conclusions were that the preliminary investigation should be discontinued because this incitement against Jews could be said to originate from the Middle East conflict."

Keep on fighting!

"What we still don't understand is why you Americans stopped the bombing of Hanoi. You had us on the ropes. If you had pressed us a little harder, just for another day or two, we were ready to surrender! It was the same at the battles of TET. You defeated us! We knew it, and we thought you knew it. But we were elated to notice your media were definitely helping us. They were causing more disruption in America than we could in the battlefields. We were ready to surrender. You had won!"
- General Giap, North Vietnam (memoirs)

There is a lesson here for the modern Leftists who want the US to lose the current war. Think about it you Leftist losers!

Blogger News Network » CNN to Air God’s Warriors, Equating Christians to Muslim Jihadists?

CNN thinks Jerry Falwell is Osama bin Laden! This is as stupid as it gets. If this runs in its current shape, I will ban CNN and articles from CNN on this blog. Much as Kos bans Fox and sites he perceives as conservative. The Left gets so stupid that it can make an honest person sick

Blogger News Network » CNN to Air God’s Warriors, Equating Christians to Muslim Jihadists?: "With great fanfare, CNN is announcing the broadcast over three nights in August of a “Worldwide TV event” hosted by Christiane Amanpour titled “God’s Warriors.” But some fear that these three nights, each night focusing on a particular religion, will equate Christian political activists in America (the so-called “Christian Right”) to Muslim suicide bombers and radical Jihasists the world over. And after reading the CNN press release announcing the “event,” it’s hard to doubt that those fears will be accurate."

Why Military Jihad in Modern Times Is Illegal

Family Security Matters: "Jihad, like a number of other historical developments throughout the world, was a religiously-based geopolitical and military campaign that affected large parts of the world for many centuries. It involved initial theological teachings and injunctions, followed by 14 centuries of interpretations by adherents, caliphs, sultans and their armies, courts, and thinkers. The historical reality of jihad has been intertwined with the evolution of the Islamic state since the seventh century. It is emphatically not a modern, recent, and narrow creation by a small militant faction. It has to be seen in its historical context.

But on the other hand, this giant doctrine, which motivated armies and feelings for centuries, also inspired contemporary movements that shaped their ideology based on their interpretation of the historical jihad. In other words, today's jihadists are an ideological movement with several organizations and regimes who claim that they define the sole interpretation of what jihad was in history and that they are the ones to resume it and apply it in the present and future. It is equivalent to the possibility that some Christians today might claim that they were reviving the Crusades in the present. This would be only a 'claim' of course, because the majority of Christians, either convinced believers or those with a sociological Christian bent, have gone beyond the"

VA-DoD Disability Reforms

VA-DoD Disability Reforms: "The President’s Commission on Care for America’s Returning Wounded Warriors, in releasing its final report Wednesday, recommended getting “DoD completely out of the disability business” by giving VA sole responsibility for setting disability ratings and awarding compensation. Disabled service members would see the current “confusing, parallel systems of ratings and compensation” replaced by a single, simple and more generous system.

Other commission recommendations call for: a patient-centered recovery plan for each severely-injured member; aggressive prevention and treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury; strengthened support services for families of wounded members; faster transfer of patient information between DoD and VA; and shoring up staff at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center until its closing in 2011."

A Green Sings the Renewable Energy Blues - Opinion

FOXNews.com - Junk Science: A Green Sings the Renewable Energy Blues - Opinion: "Ausubel calculated the amount of energy produced by various renewable energy sources — including hydroelectric, biomass, wind and solar power — in terms of power output per square meter of land disturbed.

If you could collect the average annual rainfall of the 900,000-square-kilometer Canadian province of Ontario — about 680,000 billion liters of water — and store it behind a dam 60 meters tall, you would produce about 11,000 Megawatts of electricity — which is only about 80 percent of the output of Canada’s 25 nuclear power stations, Ausubel says.

In other words, this works out to a power production rate of 0.012 watts per square meter of land. It would take 1 square kilometer of land to provide enough electricity for about 12 Canadians, according to Ausubel, who says this inefficiency is a key reason for the reduced demand for hydroelectric power."

French, Germans and Chicagoans

I missed this one, but it is good to know that some Frenchmen have respect for the US and are glad that they do not speak German. It might be a small minority, but once we have to save them from the Muslims even more might decide we are not so bad after all. Maybe.

LEATHERNECKM31: French, Germans and Chicagoans: "The group, France Will Never Forget was formed in 2003 and honored with a rose each of the 60,522 graves of all US soldiers who fell and were buried in France in WWI and WWII. The event was made possible by the generosity of hundreds of companies, associations, and individuals.

Legion_of_honor_2 In 2004 the organization enabled 100 United States war veterans to travel to France to be awarded the Legion of Honor by the President of France. In 2005 the organization single handedly financed a commemorative trip with first-class accommodations for 10 WWII US Veterans, last members of the platoon who liberated the Eiffel Tower. Two of them were awarded the Legion of Honor by the French Defense Minister. In 2006 The French will never Forget continued its efforts by participating in person and financially to several ceremonies awarding the Legion of Honor to several US veterans, this time on American soil."

Freed Guantanamo inmates take up arms - World - theage.com.au

They are trained to lie and only the Left believes them! The military is forced to release these scum because of political pressure. I think each of the freed prisoners should have five Leftists vow to die if the terrorist kills again. This might make some of these Leftists start to really think! Besides, I am starting to see little wrong in the abuse of Leftists who abuse the legal system to free murderers.

Freed Guantanamo inmates take up arms - World - theage.com.au: "AT LEAST 30 former Guantanamo Bay detainees have been killed or recaptured after taking up arms against allied forces following their release.

They have been discovered mostly in Afghanistan and Pakistan, but not in Iraq, a US Defence Department spokesman told The Age yesterday.

Commander Jeffrey Gordon said the detainees had, while in custody, falsely claimed to be farmers, truck drivers, cooks, small-arms merchants, low-level combatants or had offered other false explanations for being in Afghanistan.

'We are aware of dozens of cases where they have returned to militant activities, participated in anti-US propaganda or engaged in other activities,' said Commander Gordon."
