Who's Your Daddy, Now? (Why Berg Got Whacked)

The Roman Emperor Domitian ruled with an iron hand. He beat down all opposition and brutalized his enemies with an 'aw shucks' grin on his face. His trademark slogan was 'Oderint dum metuent' which can be loosely translated to 'Let them hate me as long as they fear me.'

He made this statement after his son Titus put Jerusalem to the torch and a very large number of its inhabitants to the gladius. It was Domitian's way of saying that he practised terrorism for the simple reason that it worked.

It worked in the 1st Century AD and it works like a charm today. When Al Quaida told it's fixers to shorten Nicholas Berg by a head, they claimed anger as their motive. This propaganda belies the realpolitik behind this act of primevil butchery.

Al Quaida butchered Berg for the same reason that pimps slap their hookers. There were a few Americans out there that just didn't seem obsequious enough over the prison abuse scandal and it was time for Al Quaida to administer discipline.

The thugs who shot Berg wanted Edward Kennedy, John F. Kerry and every member of the appeasement establishment to see what they were capable of and take another shot of cowardice. They need to make sure Rep Murtha loadly decries the unwinnability of Iraq from the top of the towers (the one's still standing at least). This is their way of running a campaign add on behalf of Mr. Kerry.

Yes, they tell America to come home. It's time to allow our national testicles to retract back up into the abdominal cavity of out body politic. Just retreat back across the ocean because we lack the spirit to handle the likes of Al Quaida.

Terrorism, for the likes of Al Quaida, is a very straightforward form of campaign speech. it tells Howard Dean and those of his despicable ilk, the extent to which they will allow America to operate. It's the Arab method of sending a message or as Nate Dawg would say "Time to regulate."

The terrorists are no more angry at us after Abu Ghraib than they were before. The beheading of Nichalos Berg was a chess move to them. A diplomatic communique. The cowards among us heard it loud and clear.

Al Quaida has succeeded well at Mau-Mauing a gathering of weak and effeminate flak-catchers. The incident asks us all a simple and contemptuous question. "Who's your Daddy?"

Thanks, Headsonpikes!

"...primevil butchery."

The correct word is "primeval" and as you might expect in no way refers to "evil" but to things dating back to the dawn of history.

"...Zarqawi is a desperate psychopathic AQ..."

Is "AQ" another one of those cute internet slangs for "F*ckwad?"

[Goreknowshowtocheat]

Ok. You win. I don't see much Christianity around. There are are few though. They did argue, however, for all of Bork's exaggeration whether or not the national language should be English or Hebrew.

[JLAGRAYFOX]

I respect your opinion, but, you my friend, see the light, so you need no conversion! Here's my problem. After all the tell tale signs the USA has been shown, we still don't get it! First, 911 is the topping on the cake after twenty years of one murderous incident after another! Than Daniel Pearl gets beheaded, then a pregnant Israeli mom and her four children get slaughtered by Muslim pigs, our guys get burned, torn apart and hung from bridges, Mr. Berg gets beheaded, etc. What will it take to convince the majority of Americans these people will never stop until they kill every Jew, every American and every Christian in the entire world!! We will long be gone, but the Arab Muslims will not win the world. Either the Russians, Chinese or Indians will make short shrift of them. I can assure you, neither of these three peoples will make nice with the Muslim animals. They will dispatch them to hell by the billions. What I can't believe is that any American Jew in their right mind would vote for John Kerry. Why, the Muslims are going to have a ball slicing up the likes of Harvey (Blubber) Weinstein, Barbra (The Witch) Streisand, Carl (Marx) Levin and Al (Pudgy) Franken!!! My beef is that Americans should have woke up this morning calling for blood, not the blood of the murderer Muslims, but the blood of John Kerry and the Democrat Party! Too bad that is not what has happened. I wish I could side with you, but at the end of the day, we are going down by our own hand!!!! I wish for our sake and the sake of our beautiful children, we had embarked on the course of victory. This is not only a war we will lose, we are going to lose our freedom and our country! FDR and HST must be turning over in their graves!!!!

They're about to find out and I've got a feeling they're going to be real surprised at the answer.

[redhead]

"A call in to Neal Boortz radio program this morning said that the Iranian Mullahs were paying big bucks to try to ensure the election of John Kerry. Alot of 'foreign' dollars are hoping to get Kerry elected."

This reminds me... Why is the stock market taking a nosedive? Is George Soros pulling some strings?

[Scythian]

Could you, myself, or our nation be convicted of Christianity?

[Goreknowshowtocheat]

Great question...I'll let you answer it for yourself. The nation is at risk, it has butchered an entire generation 40,000,000 that is why our culture is at risk. With no birthrate, a violation of the first commandment to "multiply and replenish", we may yet reap the whirlwind. Unless you haven't noticed, those with a birthrate are taking over your nation. I notice it daily, I can no longer read the advertising.

[Cicero]

I'm not sure who said it first. But it should be "Oderint dum metuant. It was a favorite saying of Caligula.

[pankot]

As an ex-cop I used to nap in graveyards on the night shift--they are the most peaceful places. There's a lesson there for the West.

[SunStar]

This is not only a war we will lose, we are going to lose our freedom and our country! FDR and HST must be turning over in their graves!!!!

No, we won't lose. Americans have a history of waiting until the last minute to do what needs to be done. There are too many of us to fail. Stay vigilant. This is a 10-year+ war.

The United States was effectively at war with Japan long before December 7, 1941. Even the defining moments in our nation's history aren't merely "accidents of timing."

So, it wasn't just a coincidence that Roosevelt and Truman were in office when the Japs did their sneak attack on Pearl Harbor -- it was planned that way?

The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor came after the U.S. had been fighting the Japanese in Manchuria since as far back as the 1930s. So it's no "accident" that it occurred during the Roosevelt administration -- in fact, it was very much a part of what the Roosevelt administration was all about.

[JCG]

JCG, Roosevelt and Truman were RE-elected in 1940, FDR having decide to enter the War at the earliest politically-possible moment, which he did.

No he didn't. We were attacked.

Somehow, during my many rambles through WWII-era history, I missed the US-Japan Manchurian War. Could you cite some of the engagements and dates for me?

So it's no "accident" that it occurred during the Roosevelt administration -- in fact, it was very much a part of what the Roosevelt administration was all about.

I see. Well, when did that wily old FDR start planning all this? And if Landon or Willkie had won, would the attack have come anyway, or would the Japs have just called the whole thing off?

[headsonpikes]

Well, right after the US was attacked was the 'earliest politically-possible moment'.

Are you suggesting it would have been possible to declare war earlier?

[.cnI redruM]

That's about the truth. While I firmly believe our adherence to the UCMJ sets us apart from the savages, I also believe our press has all but sided with Al-Sadr in how they have covered the story.
