Ogre's Politics & Views

Hizb ut-Tahrir?

This is a group of muslims who want to overthrow any non-muslim government. I think in today's world, that makes them officially "moderate" muslims -- only because they're not actively killing people at the conference. One of their current targets is the Australian government. They openly advocate the total overthrow of the Constitutional government of Australia; and a replacement of that government with a religious totalitarian society ruled by Sharia law.

Oh, and they're hosting a conference in Sydney, Australia. Isn't freedom great? The muslims are meeting in the open in a country in which they openly advocate overthrow of the government.

Gee, I wonder what would happen if they did that in the US? I bet billions of dollars of taxpayer money would be spent to protect the "rebels" from the good citizens who might actually want to NOT be overthrown by a religious law.

This will not end until people die. Perhaps lots of people. I just hope it's the radical, err... "moderate" muslims who have to die and not Australians or Americans.

Discount-Mats.com

Well, it seems that the author of Discount-Mats.com is back. Thanks to a reader, they note the Discount-Mats website has been repaired and now shows a new phone number and a new email address. Feel free to head over and contact them if you like. For details about the "company," look here and here.

On the "new" site, they have a notice:

As a company, we would like to say that it is against company policy to treat anyone disrespectfully, and we condemn any such behavior. The member who was responsible for stating their personal opinion in a disrespectful manner is no longer associated and no longer working with Discount-Mats.com

The members within our company strongly disagreed with the views and actions of this member, and once again, his personal opinion does not reflect the opinions of the company.

We, as a company, are sorry for the events that took place and we do not condone un-professional, rude behavior from any members within our company.


Interesting, no? I am still quite convinced, and will be until presented with any evidence to the contrary, that this entire "company" is one single person playing with a computer in their parent's garage. Seriously. Because of that belief, I find their repeated claims that the "employee" has been fired. I think Faisal Khetani is the only person associated with the company or the web site. But I could be wrong.

Hillary Clinton on the Constitution

Well, since algore could invent the internet and Hillary could be named after an explorer who became famous after she was born, I don't see any reason why she couldn't have written the United States Constitution, too, do you? Well, she's certainly claiming she did.

New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton blamed President Bush on Saturday for misusing authority given him by Congress to act in Iraq, but conceded "I take responsibility" for her role in allowing that to happen.

From the United States Constitution (Article II, Section 2):
The President shall be commander in chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the militia of the several states, when called into the actual service of the United States;

So, according to Democrats, Hillary Clinton wrote Article II, Section 2 of the US Constitution, giving the president power over the military.

Know what's really sad? Because so many people and Democrats were indoctrinated "educated" in the government school system, they're actually going to believe their queen.

NC Democrats Sexist

According to the Associated Press, all North Carolina Democrats are sexist. Those Democrats who voted for representatives that were female, only voted for them because they were female and not because they were Democrat, or because the people agreed with their positions.

Even worse, again, according to the Associated Press, the Democrats who were elected to the legislature are just as racist, but in the opposite direction. You see, the Democrats voted for a "leader" and they only selected their leader because he had a penis and intentionally did not select someone else who didn't have one. Again, this is according to the Associated Press.

They absolutely praised the forward-thinking and progressiveness of the voters of North Carolina for deciding who would represent them based on their lack of a penis; and yes, they derided those in the legislature who dared to vote for someone with a penis.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."

I have a dream that one day in the state of North Carolina, members of the Associated Press will be able to report facts without judging a person based on the absence or presence of a penis.

I have a dream that one day in the state of New York, members of the New York Times will be able to report the facts of something that happened without viewing everything through an anti-American and liberal prism.

But yes, it's just a dream.

New Neighbor #47

Welcome again, good readers, to this week's New Neighbor. For those who haven't seen this feature before, this is a weekly post that appears each Sunday afternoon. Each week Ogre reads through some new blogs from the massive blogroll on the right side of the main page, right now the Evangelical Blogroll, and finds a new blog to highlight and introduce to you, my kind reader. This week, it's

JivinJehoshaphat


This blog is about
Life Apologetics Sports Poker How Beautiful My Wife Is Whatever

And, well, other than telling you the author is "JivinJ," I can't tell you much more about the blog itself -- there's no typical "About" tag in the corner. And yes, I am well aware that the kettle is calling the pot black. One day I might get around to putting one up...

The latest post from Friday is one that I had considered writing last week, but I ran out of time. In that post, JivinJ asks when storing of umbilical cord cells became "controversial?" I'm not sure I've heard anyone complain about that until, well, this person started storing them and the news generated a fake controversy.

He's got another post up that shows Democrats in Iowa working on redefining the English language to fit their own usage now. Apparently now in Iowa, "stem cell" means "cloning." Yes, only in Democratic Iowa are those two things synonyms.

There's also a post that helps debunk abortion lies from the pro-death group. And he does it without even mentioning the 40 million babies that have been killed in the United States since 1973.

The blog layout is rather plain and simple, but that makes it easy to read with lots of flashy things vying for your eyeballs' attention. So, on this wonderful Sunday afternoon, why not head on over and have a read. See if you like what you see. You might find a new blog to read every day.

An AR Surgeon Joke

Three Arkansas surgeons were playing golf together And discussing surgeries they had performed. One of them said, "I'm the best Surgeon in Arkansas. In my favorite case, a concert pianist lost seven fingers in an accident, I reattached them, and 8 months later he performed a private concert for the Queen of England."

The second surgeon said. "That's Nothing. A young man lost an arm and both legs in an accident. I reattached them, and 2 years later he won a gold medal in track and field events in the Olympics."

"The third surgeon said, "You guys are amateurs. Several years ago a woman was high on cocaine and marijuana and she rode a horse head-on into a train traveling 80 miles an hour. All I had left to work with was the woman's blonde hair and the horse's rear-end. I was able to put them together and now she's a senator from New York."

A Tight Skirt Joke

One day, at a bus stop there was a girl who was wearing a skintight miniskirt. When the bus arrived and it was her turn to get on, she realized that her skirt was so tight she couldn't get her foot high enough to reach to step.

Thinking it would give her enough slack to raise her leg, she reached back and unzipped her skirt a little. She still could not reach the step. Embarrassed, she reached back once again to unzip it a little more. Still, she couldn't reach the step.

So, with her skirt zipper halfway down, she reached back and unzipped her skirt all the way. Thinking that she could get on the step now, she lifted up her leg only to realize that she still couldn't reach the step.

So, seeing how embarrassed the girl was, the man standing behind her put his hands around her waist and lifted her up on to the first step of the bus. The girl turned around furiously and said, "How dare you touch my body that way, I don't even know you!"

Shocked, the man says, "Well, ma'am, after you reached around and unzipped my fly three times, I kinda figured that we were friends."

Friday Feast

Last week, with some prodding from Raven I participated in Friday Feast. So, since it's Friday, and time for lighter fare, I'll play again this week. Here's how it works:

While our questions may sometimes be related to food, the main idea here is to feed your mind by asking thought-provoking, mind-stimulating questions.

Each Friday when you visit this meme, you will find 5 enticing courses for your mind to gobble up:

Appetizer
- a quick, tasty morsel to get you started

Soup
- smooth and warm to soothe your mind

Salad
- a nutritious blend of "veggies"

Main Course
- a hearty portion that is sure to satisfy

Dessert
- light concoction for your sweet tooth


Okie dokie. Here's This week:
Appetizer
If you could take lessons to learn any musical instrument, which would you want to learn?

The Pinto Beans.

What? You've never heard the song, "Beans, beans, the musical fruit?" I'm not quite sure HOW you make music with beans, but I am willing to learn.

Soup
Have you ever mistaken a person for someone else?

Once I thought Tammi was a llama. But that's all. Oh, and I once mistook Harvey for a monkey. But no one else. And I still have to apologize to Craig the chimp for that one.
Salad
On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being highest, how well do you keep secrets?

I can't tell. I was sworn to secrecy.

So I guess that makes me a 10, huh?

Oh crap, now I'm a 1.

Main Course
What's the closest you've ever been to a dangerous animal?

I've stood exactly 31 inches from large numbers of U.S. Marines.
Dessert
When was the last time you lost your patience?

I'm not sure. Last I checked it was locked up in that drawer right over there, but I haven't looked recently to see if it's moved.

Tom Tancredo for President

He's only formed an exploratory committee so far, but America needs Tom Tancredo. He may not even run because so far his goal seems to be to get the candidates talking about his issues; but America needs Tom Tancredo.

His #1 issue, which is one of the most important in America today, is immigration:

I am absolutely opposed to amnesty or guest worker program in any form. In addition to rewarding those who broke our laws, amnesties simply do not solve the problem of illegal immigration. The only realistic solution to the problem of illegal immigration is a strategy of attrition, which seeks to reduce the flow of the illegal alien population over time by cutting off the incentives for coming to and staying in America - most importantly by eliminating the jobs magnet.

No other current leader in Washington nor any other announced candidate has this position. If you are opposed to Spanish as a new national languge; if you believe American citizenship should have meaning; if you think laws are to be obeyed regarding immigration; and if you think there's a problem with terrorists slipping over the border; you need to support Tom Tancredo.

Mr. Tancredo OPPOSED "No child left behind." He's a former government (public) school teacher, so he knows exactly what teachers face and the state of the education system. He supports tax credits for EVERYONE who wants to send their children ANYWHERE for education. Imagine that, freedom of choice.

He wants to actually fix social security and allow people choices:

One component is individually-controlled, voluntary personal retirement accounts, which will augment the Social Security safety net. Any solution must, however, protect current retirees, and provide greater retirement security for future retirees.

He hates high taxes. He supports a flat tax.

This is not a Republican or Democrat -- this is the ONLY candidate so far that actually wants America to have borders. If you like America as a country, you need Tom Tancredo.

Ed Brown Blog

Enemy of the State Ed Brown has a blog dedicated to supporting him. I first mentioned him here, but many others are keeping much more up to date than I can. Be sure to check there for how the arrest goes and perhaps a body count, as unfortunate as that may be.

Lawsuit Lottery #1,249

Yes, we have yet another entrant into the lawsuit lottery. Jennifer Strange's family has decided they want to see if they can profit off their mother's death and they want someone else, anyone else, to give them a pile of cash because, well, because they're greedy and want money.

In case the name doesn't ring a bell, Jennifer Strange is the person who died from drinking too much water during a radio station contest in California. As far as I'm aware, there was no one there forcing her to drink the water in any way, shape, or form. In fact, it wasn't even he evil employer that threatened to fire her if she didn't drink the water. And I'm pretty sure it wasn't someone of a different skin color that threatened her if she didn't drink the water. In fact, I'm pretty darn sure that she actually voluntarily drank the water herself.

But that doesn't matter.

Instead, her family wants cash, and lots of it. They've sued FIFTY people, hoping that one of them will give in and send them buckets of money. Apparently they have set a cash value on this woman's life, and once that dollar amount is reached, then they will no longer mourn her death, but instead will celebrate that she brought them so much money.

Oh, and that wavier of liability? You know the one -- the one that everyone has to sign before, well, doing just about anything in this damn country any more -- well, the lottery entrants claim it doesn't exist. But know what? It doesn't really matter if it doesn't exist. This is California, where legal agreements have little weight in a court of law. I'm quite sure the judge in the case will determine that the legal adult who signed the legal document (if it exists) just was "too stupid" to understand what she was signing, so that it doesn't really matter.

If there were justice in this country, all the defendants instead should sue the family for causing them stress and bad public relations. At the very least, the lawyer who filed the suit and the family should be heavily fined for wasting the court's time and filing a frivolous lawsuit. But it's California. The only remaining question is will the family profit over or under a million dollars.

NC Legislature Collects More

Early reports indicate that there is yet another "surplus" for the Democrats of the North Carolina General Assembly to spend. Democrat lawmakers are licking their lips at the prospects of spending all this unexpected money -- and still are going to raise taxes.

Last year the Democrat-ruled legislature collected $1.1 BILLION more than they were supposed to get. With a budget of $18 Billion, that's a LOT of money. Know what they did? If you know Democrats, you do. They raised taxes a billion dollars and spent literally every single dime of the "extra" money. If they were honorable legislators, they'd have returned the money to the people who earned it. But they are Democrats.

This year they started the year expecting to be short a billion dollars or so. The newest figures show that they may actually have collected $285 million more than was "projected." So what do they plan? Of course. They're considering a tax increase in the range of $300 million and spending increases in the range of $1.5 billion more.

I don't know how legislative "leaders" can actually claim to be fiscally responsible with a straight face. Maybe in the la-la land of Democrats, "fiscally responsible" means "spending as much money as you can in the shortest amount of time no matter how you get the money."

What priorities are there for the Democrats who rule North Carolina with an iron fist? Well, their newly elected leader wants:

Massive spending increases for government employees for no production. In other words, those who "work" for government should be rewarded with huge cash increases for doing exactly the same job they're doing now. This will cost billions in new or increased taxes.

Socialized, state-run health care. This will crush freedom completely and cost tens of billions in expenditures and increased taxes.

Billions in environmental spending so the state can obtain more land from private people. This will cost money both to purchase the land and in the lost property tax revenue.

Freedom, you are not welcome in North Carolina. Workers, you are welcome, businesses, you are welcome; but you must spend the majority of your time working and providing for others in the state who refuse to work.

Diversity is WHAT?

There's a banner I've seen hanging on a fence in Charlotte. Usually when the socialists and leftists make up new meaning for actual words, I can understand what kind of crap they are selling. But this time I have absolutely no idea what message they're trying to get across.

Now if this were on a government school, I could understand that's part of their indoctrination process and twisting of reality. I could understand government buildings that are trying to brain wash government drones into doing what government says, no matter what is right or wrong.

But this banner? It's hanging on a DAY CARE CENTER. One of those places that has little kids that can't read. So the sign has to be aimed at either the parents of the little babies; or at the general public that drives past (it's a busy road). So does anyone here have any clue what the heck moronic liberal/socialist message this is trying to get across?

Pledge to Support the War

Now I'll be the first one to admit that Bush has problems. He's caving in to Democrats left and right. He's spending way, way, way too much money. He's approving to way too many stupid regulations. He's expanding government like never before. He has no clue about American sovereignty and couldn't find the southern border of America with a south Texas guide.

But on Iraq, he's got the right idea, almost. The ONLY way to slow terrorism in Iraq is to kill the bastards. I'm sorry, but that's the only way. If you truly want to stop terrorism, you need to drop bombs, kill people, and break things until there is no such thing as state-sponsored religion. It really is that simple.

And now the Democrats are threatening all sorts of "maneuvers" to remove funding from the troops and completely undermine the actions of the troops. The only thing Bush has actually stood firm on is his resolve to finish the battle in Iraq -- and the Congress is actively working hard against him.

Now while the Democrats continue their attack on the troops, the Republicans in Congress should stand united against them. It doesn't look like they will. So NZ Bear has put together a pledge that is gathering signatures of people who will pledge to NOT support Republicans who actively work with Democrats against the troops (Hagel). If you're interested go check it out and sign it if you like. I don't know if any Republican Senators will read it, but they might...

No Free Speech

The right to freedom of speech continues to be attacked in this country.

Now keep in mind, for those of you educated in the government schools, the first amendment applies to GOVERNMENT. These amendments DO NOT grant anything -- instead they are prohibitions on what GOVERNMENT can do. In other words, I can say whatever I want (without endangering someone else) and GOVERNMENT shall not stop me. However, I do have to live with the repercussions of what I say from other people.

But two things in the news directly conflict with that amendment, showing that government honestly does not care about this amendment.

The first one is a school banning students from chanting "U.S.A." Now the school IS government, and while the students do not have unlimited rights while at a school, these people are just morons. The school is claiming that the letters "U.S.A" don't mean United States of America, but instead mean something else. Well I'll tell you what, idiot school officials, how about you pretend they mean whatever you want them to mean, and I'll pretend they mean what I want them to mean. Freedom, it's a novel concept.

The next story is much, much worse. Mayor Ken Corley of Brazoria, Texas, has decided that HIS government wants to not only ban a certain word, but only ban it when certain people say it. He wants to ban the "evil" n-word, but only when white people say it. Yes, this is for real. He's proposed that if a white person says the verbotten word, they will be fined $500. But if a black person says it, then it's perfectly okay.

Is there really any hope for justice and freedom today? It sure doesn't look like it to me. Maybe I should go join Ed Brown.

Guilford College Hate Crime

It seems some athletes from Guilford College in North Carolina have been charged with hate crimes. In North Carolina, when you attack one of the chosen groups, specifically, specially protected by government, it's called "ethnic intimidation." And if you're white, no, you're not protected as much as anyone else.

Am I the only person that has a real problem with any "special" group of people being more protected than others? Why is the punishment more severe if you punch a black person in face than if you punch a white person in the face? If there truly were equal protection under the law, everyone would get the same punishment for committing a crime, no matter what color their skin was.

But even more importantly, in this report (and all press reports of this story), there's something that's really missing. Did you follow the link and notice it? In this case, the students were beat and claim they were called "terrorists." And yes, they were "Palestinians." But no press report actually asks if they are terrorists.

If you identify with the Palestinians, you are identifying with a group of people that has a long history of nothing but terrorism. At the same time, reports have recently been published of various different terrorist organizations that are planning on infiltrating the US with students on student visas. So were these "victims" actually terrorists? Know what? No one has asked that question. No one has asked the people who did the beating why they did it.

In fact, if these students were actually stopped in progress of committing a terrorist act, would these reports read ANY different? I don't think they would. An unbiased press might actually ask questions and seek answers. However, you won't find a reporter today in the major media that isn't trying to push their agenda on you, despite what the facts might be.

New Advertisers

This week we've got a new advertiser here at Ogre's, Arthur's Hall of Viking Manliness. Now how can you turn down a chance to visit a place with a name like that? And it just gets better!

When you visit, you'll see pictures of a Viking, Reagan, a sword, an eagle, and yes, AHnold (in his prime, not in his liberal-weenie-like self as governor).

It's got great posts about seriously manly stuff. Women, you might want to sit down before you click the link, because it's really manly over there. Men, if you're not strong in your manliness, prepare to feel weak and wimpy. Now go visit!
