Did you just see it? Watch it on MSNBC? I don't care if I get booted off this forum. Too angry to even care, I will say it, type it. Maybe type it too fast to care about typos. I have just watched one of the most disgusting, shameful dialogues - if that is the word for that one-sided and traitorous diatribe - from the mouths of the enemies of Democracy, the diatribe of the left in the form of some pig named Deborah Norville (“Tonight”, MSNBC) and her despicable guests consisting of some so-called American Arab named Youssef Ibrahim,...

"With the signing of the C-2 (Chashma-2) project, PAEC has achieved yet another landmark and...

Just in case you all forgot while busy Apologizing for the "Abhorrent acts" of the troops. I'm also wondering, waiting - when will the Iraqi's apologize to me for our troops who were killed/tortured in Iraq-I to free Kuwait? When will they apologize for those abhorrent acts? Haven't heard it, yet. Jumping http://www.homestead.com/prosites-prs/wtcjumpers.html

The AP is running a photo, "Iraqis chant anti-U.S slogans outside Abu Ghraib prison today" - URL link http://www.foxnews.com/images/124509/12_2_050504_iraq.jpg This photo is making the wires, newspapers, and new web sites across the USA, etc.. In the photo, we see the angry Iraqis holding "signs", which are computer printed standard flyers on white paper and taped to card board, entitled "Iraqis chant anti-U.S slogans outside Abu Ghraib prison today - AP". The "signs" are in ENGLISH. Look at the picture of the Iraqis holding these "signs". Try to read the "signs". They are in ENGLISH. The Iraqis in the photo, do...

Whatever happened with the Save187 petition drive? I sent in three completed petitions prior to leaving for the U.K.. I went to check the www.save187.com webpage, and it no longer exists. The April 15th deadline is past. The last time the webpage was up, they had 430,000 signatures.

Origin of “Direct Action” used by Leftists comes from Politics of 20th Century Muslim Movements A terminology among the left, the communists, socialists and their fellow travelers such as “Progressives” and “Democrats”, is the use of the term “direct action”. You will often hear this term used by the left, and especially of late. These are the same Leftists who march, arms-locked, “in solidarity with the Palestinian struggle”, communists and socialists gathered at protests which feature the usual suspects of speakers who are given top billing as “progressive” but include those, whom any intelligent person would consider the antithesis of...

This is my second “report” from London, in the “tombs”. I call the London Underground the “tombs” – the underground train system which some Londoners call the “tubes”, but which I now call the “tombs” instead, because that is where I feel like I am, when I walk up and down the steps of broken escalators into the “Underground”, and ride the trains which seem of late to be very busy with new arrivals in “dirty nightshirts” lugging very large suitcases that are much more cleaner than the pajamas they are wearing, sporting their Muslim caps, beards, and angry faces...

I have been in London (U.K.) for the last six days, and I can tell you that I am very worried as to what can happen here. Each day, the headlines of the newspapers, almost to a one they are leftist, literally are sneering at our country and have no idea of the great peril their country is in. I have spent many, many hours in the "tubes" (London Underground Rail system) - there have been reports of plots of biological terror, and yet this does not make the headlines. Instead, the leftist newspapers only report propaganda against the United...

Between 1848 and 1851, four International Peace Congresses were held. The viewpoint of the American Peace Society, as published in their early 1800's pamphlet “Safety of Pacific Principles”, which was reprinted in the 1845 edition of “The Book of Peace” by George C. Beckwith (published in Boston, MA), asserted that the “peace principle” has been proven in examples of lions responding to kindness, or in examples of American Indians who respected lives and property of specific “Pacific Individuals” and groups such as the “Quakers under William Penn”. The precursors to the American Peace Society originated with the “Pacific” (as in...

Was the “Overwhelming and Decisive Response” just an April Fools Joke? The economic news is great, and I see Bush gloating, as he should. In fact, it’s such good news, and especially good news for the Bush Administration with over 300,000 jobs added last month, well I guess what happened in Fallujah is already an “old news cycle”? It doesn’t seem to me that Bush is very upset about what happened in Fallujah. Yes, he called it brutal, and all. And there was a general who told us, on April 1 st, that the response is going to be overwhelming...

Schwarzenegger (Gov, CA-R) may now reverse and come out Against new proposed Legislation providing Illegals a Drivers License REF: Oakland Tribune In an interview with reporters, as published in the (CA) Oakland Tribune newspaper today as part of an article that the Governor is polling tax payers in regards to tax hikes, Schwarzenegger now is saying the newly proposed legislation to give illegal aliens drivers licenses “may be impossible to work out”. An earlier Schwarzenegger interview with a Mexican language television station indicated he was willing to do whatever it takes to “get it done” to forward newly proposed legislation...

Pedigree of Terrorism Discovered Half of all marriages in most Middle Eastern countries are between cousins. I think the pedigree of Islamic style terrorism has been discovered. When the Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty radio hosts made mention of the statistic, I didn’t believe it. So I did some research. In Dorothy C. Wertz’s, PhD, article (from GeneLetter, March 1st, 2000) “Kissing Cousins: The Genetic Fallout of Consanquinity”, the statistic was revealed that in the Middle East, especially Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Jordan, over half of all marriages are consanguineous, the common type being that of patrilateral first-cousins. This was...

The Spanish People Imperil Entire Europe with Their Capitulation to Terrorism The Spanish people have chosen the path of capitulation to terrorism with today’s election. Their choice is shameful, if that can even be the word for it, and has now imperiled the entire of Europe as well as the rest of the world. They have chosen not to blame the criminal fanatics who have done this, but to blame their own government for this horrific terrorist act, and to blame those who resist terrorism. This is what they have proclaimed today, and this absurd and shameful proclamation while not...

One Coin, Two Sides <>P> By Greg Buete Published 01/03/2003 Deep in South America two terror fronts are colliding. While fundamentally dangerous apart together they are capable of producing terror attacks against the West in both greater magnitude and frequency than ever before. The region is called the Triple Border. It is a lawless region between Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil that supports a community of 30,000 Muslims, many of them radical expatriates of the Lebanese civil war and aligned with Hezbollah. As Jeffery Goldberg of the New Yorker discovered, Hezbollah, an Iranian backed Lebanese terrorist group responsible for over 300...

John Kerry: Blood for Ketchup I called up a fellow Nixon Republican. “It’s Kerry,” I say, “so, what’s the plan?” “We go negative” he says. Cool. So starting in a week or so, the Blood for Ketchup campaign begins. This is going to be one of the dirtiest campaigns of world history. So be it. OK, maybe that’s an exaggeration. Bush won’t go dirty, exactly. So, it us Nixon Republicans, who really don’t like Bush that much, we got to do it. Sometimes I wonder, how could this heart still be beating? I should be dead by now, along with...

Jesus of the House of David, this documentary of his last 12 hours in The Passion, a stunning, breathtaking, powerful, beautiful, movie which magically through genius of the director and the beauty of the artists in their portrayal, is, not surprisingly, shocking to deviants of family and culture – shocking because it is as much, in the classical sense of the word, a political activity as religious. And this is what the deviants fear – not just the religious impact this masterpiece will have, and it will, but also the political impact. I do not mean to demean Jesus by...

John Kerry is Soft on Sex Offenders. You can bank on it. I’m sick of these liberal judges, letting these freaks with rap sheets a mile long back on the streets again and again to rape our children and threaten our families, these sick liberal judges, Maoists in black robes, who tell us the Constitution says gay marriage is a right without asking the people’s opinion on the matter, denying the people their say through the democratic process on these matters, these liberal freak judges and lawyers, slick greedy lawyers, politicized ACLU lawyers, judges and courts like we see on...

Dean Staffer Layoffs Sign of Worst Economy since Hoover Washingmachine Post Wednesday, February 4, 2004; Page A1 www.washingmachinepost.com EDITORIAL As they await the results of the next upcoming primaries, the Democrats should take a lesson from the nation's central bankers. Out on the campaign trail, we see more signs of what the fair and balanced news networks such as ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, correctly refer to as “the jobless recovery”. “Five more layoffs”, said economist and expert from Washington D.C. University Fred Diamond. “This time it’s staffers from the Dean campaign.” Economists agree, and the news media reports. “Now it’s...
