Muslims act like barbarians...again.

Buddhist Thais are fleeing from attacks by Muslims in southern Thailand.

The Muslim insurgents mainly are targeting Buddhist teachers and monks in an effort to intimidate Buddhist Thais into fleeing from the region.

I'm sure none of you are surprised. This situation further exposes that the heart of our struggle is a fight against global jihad. I guarantee that these animals are receiving monetary support from the Middle East oil dictators and from western Muslims who see this as a prelude to Muslim gains in Europe and the Americas.

The Muslims in Thailand want a pure Islamic state. They do not want a place were their people can be free. They want a region where they can enforce their thuggish view of their religion on anyone who does not agree with them. They essentially seek to create a Tehran with spicier food.

Surprisingly, 25 teachers have been beheaded. Wonder where they learned that?

This situation draws parallels in my mind to that in France. Both have a Muslim population in the southern part of the nation that is agitating for Sharia and their own Islamic state.

We have already seen intimidation tactics in France, where Jews are beaten and temples torched. Soon they will turn more heavily on the few Frenchmen who have not surrendered their souls to the relativism and hedonism of modernity.

I'm surprised that this has not made international headlines. Hell, Buddhists are being attacked. Where is Richard Gere? I thought that the Hollywood people would come out to defend their second favorite religion, after Islam that is.

The global jihad marches on. I am sure soon their will be a peace deal in Thailand, brokered by Jimmy Carter, in which the Thais give the Muslims everything they want and apologize for their existence. This is the same sort of deal Carter is demanding that the Jews give the Palestinians. This will lead to a rump caliphate that will spread Islamic terror throughout the rest of south and southeast Asia.

2007, the year that will be

It is that time of year again folks. It is time for your humble Wordbearer to make his predictions for the new year. Since, with skills rivaling that of Miss Cleo, I was 100% accurate on my predictions for 2006, I will prognosticate for 2007.

In the year 2007...

Dimocrats will reach out to the Muslim world by declaring Idaho a caliphate and beheading Barney Frank on CNN. The production will earn an Emmy.

A massive gay underground will be exposed in the NFL. This will forever make the term "running the option" an occasion for ribald laughter.

Martians will continue their domiance of Mars unchallenged.

Al Gore will fall into a coma after a joke at the dentist involving an "inconvenient tooth."

In order to bring the point home to the American public, global warming will be rechristened "Sweaty Maker."

China will bow to international pressure and finally admit that Duck Sauce really is mostly turtle.

The tears of Gypsies will be found to be a powerful aphrodisiac. Consequently, Cher will be beaten to death.

Heterosexual pride will be on display that the 145th annual "Homo Beating Parade" in Atlanta Georgia.

Saying the word "Jumanji" will not only be a way to reference a delightful children's movie, but also a convenient way of expressing your hatred of the Jews.

Let's promote a dialogue

By crucifying Santa.

This guy is very very sick. Listen I understand that people dislike the consumerism surrounding Christmas. Personally I try to keep it all in perspective.

This is the wrong way to make a point. All this does is show that this guy is a jerk that misunderstands the magic that is Christmas. Children are the true lovers of Christmas. Their souls are still pure enough to see that there really are magical things that can touch the places in our hearts that we adults have forgotten.

I love the guys justification: "I was just trying to start a dialogue."

That is the most hollow excuse I have ever heard. It is the refrain of the man who has been beaten.

A similar phrase is "Well I have the right to think what I want." Normally this is said by someone who has tried to defend an untenable position and lost.

And an honest man was laid low.

John Bolton, probably this nation's greatest UN Rep, will resign.

John Bolton is an honest man. John Bolton is a decent man. John Bolton is the only one with those traits in the UN.

The Dims have gotten what they wanted. Now the US will take the route they want: appeasing totalitarian thugs and pretending that the barbarians can be turned away with pretty trinkets.

We are Rome and the barbarians are at the gates. Thanks to the Dims one of our best men has been sacrificed on the altar of political correctness and weakness.

May God have mercy on our souls and may our posterity know of the whispered land where men once were free.

Weapons that don't exist, but should

I present my Christmas list.

Other weapons that do not exist but should:

1. Chainsaw Toilet Paper - Just when you think it is safe to use the bathroom...

2. Wedding cake with a midget Ninja inside - just the way to whack a mafia Don on the day of his daughters wedding.

3. The World's Smallest Fiddle filled with the World's Smallest A-Bomb - Where is your sympathy now?

4. A Giant Projector that Projects Naked Pictures of Teddy Kennedy onto the Moon - Suicide inducing

5. The Shatner-Launcher - I...just...can't...contain...it

6. The Electric Burrito - A little death from South of the Border

7. Sushi laced with Polonium - Wait someone has already invented that.

They took something so innocent and made it dirty

Peace activists (a.k.a. pussies and cowards mostly) are promoting a "Global Orgasm for Peace Day"

Why do people on the Left think that they will achieve something with the meaningless gesture?

These people have a deep misunderstanding of the world. This situation relates to the "Make Love Not War" chants of the 60's and the sexual excess of the 70's.

These sorts of people believe that the problems of the world can be linked to people not having enough orgasms. The truth is that we are having to many. Listen people, sex is a great and enjoyable thing, but it is NOT the defining thing about man.

Always remember the intellectual is the person who has found something more interesting than sex.

I love this line from the article: (Concerning why the orgasm will succeed where soft power and appeasement have failed) "Your mind is like a blank. It's like a meditative state. And mass meditations have been shown to make a change."

My response: Where? Point to the mass mediations that have made any measurable change.

Folks there are none. These people need pick up a calendar and realize that it is no longer 1968.

The activists behind this gained notoriety earlier for getting 50 naked women to spell the word "peace". The article makes it seem like this was some sort of world changing event, but we all know better.

What possible good can come from getting 50 lesbian Marxists to cast aside their flannel and combat boots to spell peace? I could get 50 drunken frat boys to get naked and spell any damn thing I wanted. Does that mean I have changed the world or done anything besides offending good taste?

People like this are the reason we are losing the war against Islamic barbarians. They can only see their idealized vision of the world, ignoring the harsh realities.

Our great Republic is gone, all we have left are ejaculating hippies.

John Wayne is rolling in his grave.

How you going keep em down on the farm, once they have seen Tehran?

Well the Dims are going to pull the US out of Iraq.

This is expressly against the wishes of the independent voters who put them in office by razor thin numbers over a week ago.

Charles Krauthammer has a great post election wrap up.

This last election the American people asked for a new course in Iraq. The Dims want to sink the ship.

Their plan seems to be this:
1. Turn the courty over to the Iraqis, i.e. cut
and
2. "redeploy"...also known as run.

This plan should look familiar. Back in the 70's we called it Vietnamization.

Soon after we pull out the Dim Congress will pass something like the Foreign Assistance Act of 1974, which banned the US from helping the South Vietnamese defend themselves and voided our rights to assist them under the Paris Peace Accords.

The Dimocrat plan will end in the same mesh or refugees, oppression, and will embolden our enemies just as our pull out in Vietnam did.

Every American life you save by pulling out now means that you will kill 20 in the future.

Side note:

Iran is moving to distance itself from the dollar.

Cheney...We are at your mercy

Dick Cheney: man, myth, future tyrant of man.

Why do we fear him?

Because the following are true...

He once released a book on the subject of potty training. It came with an "encourament tazer."

The song "Unchained Melody" was originally called "UnCheney Melody." It was changed because people were disturbed by sound of women weeping and children being immolated.

He once stabbed a man for using the wrong fork at dinner.

His thoughts on the proper application of the death penalty were made into the movie "Flash Dance."

John Denver wrote "Rocky Mountain High" after watching Dick Cheney ingest thirty tons of opium.

Dick Cheney is in the bushes outside your house right now.

In first grade he was suspended for waterboarding his teacher. He received the Pulitzer Prize for the photos.

Every Thanksgiving he deep fries a California Condor...then just throws it out.

The entire plot for the Harry Potter series is based off of the orgasmic screams of Dick Cheney.

Dick Cheney is responsible for the fall of the Roman Empire, British Empire, and the stock market in 1929.

The Exxon Valdez did not run aground. It was dynamited by Cheney to settle his score with the Eskimos.

Every movie ever made by Stanley Kubrick was inspired by conversations with Cheney in the showers at a NY Bally's Total Fitness.

With "America can do better" failing to attract voters; Dims new slogan is "Look at all the fags"

IowaHawk is on to them

Hat Tip: Ann Coulter

How come Dims always substitute sex for real political debate? Why do they always attack their opponents in the most base and sexual manner?

They viscously degrade conservative women and harass gay Republicans with constant threats to "out" them. What happened to the party of privacy rights? Why can they not allow gay Republicans their right to keep their private life just that, private?

The point is that they want to make an example of these two groups because they consider them "off the reservation." How dare gays and women not bow to their wisdom? It is cheap intimidation equivalent to a mafia shakedown.

The libs have become the new imperialists. Their subjects are all the people they believe they have to defend against the evil conservatives with their strange notions about truth and the good.

'Baten for Freedom

Iran's Supreme Mullah Khameini has ruled that "deliberate masturbation during the month of Ramadan renders a fast invalid."


I guess now anyone who decides to scrub scooby or hold the sausage hostage during Ramadan is going to be killed because they offended Muslims.

I can't see what the this guy has against flogging the dolphin, cuffing the carrot, or clearing the snorkel.

I recommend that we all thumb our noses at Iran by going on a date with Pamela Handerson.

I call on all flag waving Americans to take a few minutes out of their day to rough up the suspect, or engage in a little hand-to-gland combat.

A question arises out of this article: What the hell is the difference between deliberate masturbation and accidental?

I did not know you could do it accidentally. I seriously doubt it is possible. Trust me if it was possible I would have found it by now.

Nobles, Knaves, and those in between

The Washington Times Nobles and Knaves column is something everyone of you should be reading by now.

This week they hail Sheriff Fred Wegener for his guts in ordering a SWAT raid during the standoff at Platte County High School. I think he made the right decision considering the guy inside was a murderous pedophile.

They also castigate the liberal bloggers who are using lies and doctored photos to besmirch Michelle Malkin.

Little question: Why do liberals always level their attacks against conservative women it the most base and sexual manner?

Are they so out of touch with reality that they can not see that not every woman thinks that the way of life endorsed by Sex and the City is good for the soul?

Now to those of us in between.

Law school is going well for me. I am really interested in criminal law and civil procedure.
I am working hard and my personal life is suffering. Still it is not like there is much there to suffer anyway.

Everyone keeps telling me the same thing: Once you get out of law school the ladies will be all over you.

I find this statement quite disheartening. Implicit in this statement is the fact that a woman is not going to love me for my winning personality or looks, but because there is a chance that I will be economically successful.

For me this is unsettling. It seems that I am condemned to a future of loveless sex, hedonism, depravity, and moral emptiness....wait a minute...now my future is starting to look pretty good.

Seriously though, I have always wanted to be appreciated for being me, but it looks like that has always been a pipe dream.

Sigh...Jack Daniels will save me.

Night everyone.

Future headline: Mutant space vegetables attack Shanghai

The Chinese are sending seeds into space to expose them to cosmic radiation.

Supposedly, past Chinese experiments of this nature have led to higher yields of both rice and wheat. Mark my words, this will go horribly ary. This reminds me of the beginning of a 1950's horror movie. All that is missing is maniacal laughter.

My question: Where are all the environmentalists?

Everytime a biologist at Harvard changes a strand of corn DNA that makes it more likely to survive a drought, all the Pinks, Reds, and Greens go ballistic with hysterical screams and issue dire warnings about "Frankenfood." I always thought that was what a cannibal in the Air America studio could expect.

This is very different from genetically altering crops in a lab. In a lab the work is more controlled and the outcomes can be reasonably anticipated.

The Chinese experiment sounds more like a random roll of the dice to me.

Of course we all know why the libs are not upset over this: The experiment is being conducted by Communists.

The whole reason they oppose ADM altering crops is because they hate business, profit, and anything that is not a collective. The whole environmental movement is just a cover for the neo-Bolsheviks.

Still the sci-fi lover in me hopes this does go badly. I have always wanted to battle mutants in an post-apocalyptic warzone .

Cheney we fear you but are not afraid

It has been three months since my last installment of Cheney lore. During that period I traveled far and wide, interviewed many frightened people, and collected many more facts that confirm my thesis that Dick Cheney is a demi-god walking among man.

Section 1498 of the Federal Civil Procedure Code outlines the process by which courts can be held "in contempt of Cheney."

Cheney named his testicles "shock and awe"

Cheney once marketed his own Dr. Pepper knockoff called "Dictator Cheney."

The most volatile and radioactive element on the periodic table is Cheneyum.

He once beat a man to death at the Icecapades.

Having a man crush on Dick Cheney in no way affects your sexuality.

He proved Chaos theory after one of his hiccups crushed the skull of the last albino roedeer in Scotland. Cheney claimed it was bound to happen eventually

He uses crystal meth instead of salt

He can start a jukebox with a kick...just like the Fonz.

He once spooned with a wolverine

Dick Cheney's tanning bed is filled with depleted uranium

He wears the tanned skin of FDR as a dinner jacket

Update: Law School report

Well as some of you know, your humble WordBearer, started law school this week. First of all, it is not as hard as I anticipated. The homework load is equivalent to what I had as an undergrad, except you actually have to do it.

Many of my classmates seem overwhelmed, but that is because they did not really have to work in their undergrad courses. Thanks to the Dumb Ox, I am used to having to read a couple hundred pages per week and then be interrogated about the material.

I really am enjoying my classes. The professors are teaching us court room strategies in addition to all the technical stuff.

In all I feel good and everything is going well. I went to law school in order to engage in the most vile and wicked form of sophistry available to modern man...besides working for the New York Times.

I'm still wallowing in the abyss of singlehood. Looks like three more years of depressing loneliness and drinking.

Israel lost

The people of Israel are upset over the conduct of the war with the Muslim barbarians on its border.

As much as I hate to admit it, Israel lost the war because they did not win.

To win a war one must: 1. Make sure the enemy is so beaten that they know that further resistance is futile.
2. Destroy the enemies ability to wage conflicts in the near future.

Neither of these have occurred. Hezbollah has not been defeated, and they have come out of this stronger than ever.

The Israeli's need to get serious and attack without mercy. They also need to ban the media from getting anywhere near the region.

Wow Republicans are jazzed too

It turns out that the Republican base is motivated.

This is what I have been saying for months. Did the Dims really think that they were going to waltz into power?

Republicans have been beaten for the last year with poll after poll supposedly showing that they are doomed.

Let me explain why the Republicans are going to win in November:

1. The election of 2004 has yet to be appreciated by the MSM and the Dims.
Remember Kerry received more votes in 2004 than Gore got in 2000. This means that the Dims got out as many voters as they could. Bush got many more votes than Kerry did and surpassed Gore's 2000 total.

The reason for this is clear. In 2004 the Republicans mounted a great ground game. They got out there and brought in people who were not regular voters, but nevertheless conservative, and got them to the polls for the first time. Republican strategists targeted churches and social groups to tap pools of voters. Additionally, this ground game was predicated on the labor of millions of unpaid volunteers. A higher portion of Dim block walkers and polls workers were paid lackeys.

These previously non-voting conservatives have no reason to revert to their old ways. Bush has come through in a big way for social conservatives. Additionally, the Republican party will aggressively pursue their votes.

2. The Dims still do not hold beliefs they can be honest about.

The Dimocratic party has been adrift since the 70s. It has to accommodate the old Vietnam era hippie wing of the party that most of America opposes. Its future is not to bright either. Till it can find a way to rebrand class warfare and surrender to totalitarian animals, they will lose a lot of elections.


This year I think the Republicans will gain seats or at least not lose Congress. I also predict that after the Dims fail to take Congress we will see Left wing bloggers spouting conspiracy theories about Republicans manipulating the polls to make Dim voters overconfident.

I also bet that after they fail yet again they will blame voter fraud, machine tampering, and Republican conspiracy.

I don't really care

Joe Lieberman faces off in his primary tomorrow with anti-war loony Ned Lamont.

The polls show that Lieberman will probably lose, but polls can be wrong.

The reason I even bother to talk about this is because conservatives are still trying to figure out who they should root for. Many see a Lieberman's defeat as catastrophic. They see a relatively pro-war and pro-GWOT Dim going down to defeat in his primary as a sign that the public is starting to sour on the whole defeat Islamic terror thing.

I tend to see it as a good thing. By all accounts this Lamont fellow is an empty suit for the kook fringe Left. I want the Dims to elect the most loony people they can. Plus I think many people are forgetting the Joe Lieberman of 2000. who jettisoned all his beliefs to play handmaiden to Al Gore.

The radicalization of the American Left will spell doom for the Dims this November. The American people are not in love with the Republican party, but they see it as the benign alternative to the crazy Left.

Lets face it, the Dimocratic party is falling apart. It has been forced to abandon the heartland of America because it can not connect with religious people. It has to cover its real goals of class warfare and socialism in the rhetoric of "social justice," and it has failed to offer a plausible counter-strategy in the GWOT.

Still the idiocy of the people knows no bounds. Americans have been raised on the feel good, peacenick, Care Bear culture of modernity that holds no Truths to be self-evident if they interfere with the get-rich, get-high, get-off ethos of contemporary pop culture.

Update: Lieberman is within six points of Lamont as the people head to the polls.

This article further proves my point about Lieberman. He is just your typical tax and spend
liberal with a good record on the GWOT.

To Hell with Fidel

Rich Lowry, one of the most underappreciated writers in the nation, explores why the Left, supposedly the keepers of human rights, are so enamored with Fidel.

When the people of Cuba are finally free, and that day will come, we will finally get to see the true horror of Castro. When the dissidents see the light of day, the jail cells pop open, and the people can talk to reporters without a government censor standing next to them then all of the Leftists will have to admit that their hero was nothing more than a genocidal madman.

Long live a free Cuban people.

Angry rant #132

Mel apologizes

Ok the topic is Mel Gibson. His little anti-Semitic rant was the stupidest thing I have ever heard. He made a bonehead move and now he is paying for it, as he should. Still we all have said stupid things or made regrettable phone calls under the influence of alcohol. Terrible terrible phone calls...full of shame.

Still the biggest crime Mel committed was not being the leader of a Muslim nation or a college professor. Just think about it. The stuff Mel screamed under the influence of the vine is tame compared to the stuff that rolls off the tongue of the most obscure Islamic despot.

If a college professor had uttered these words he would be hailed as a paragon of free speech. Every editorial page in the country would be buzzing in his defense.

There is a speech code in America, and some are exempt from it. Apparently Mel is not in that category.

So it has come to this II

Finally the Western Left has reached the point where it feels it can be honest with what it believes.

In the UK, the revised version of the core aims of the National curriculum will no longer require that schools teach children the difference between right and wrong.

Children will now be taught to reject absolute values in exchange for "secure values and beliefs."

Allso removed were sections on promoting leadership and teaching the cultural heritage of Britain.

The teachers are claiming that they have always taught right from wrong, which is a lie, and that the change is not important...again another lie.

A spokesman for the QCA also said that the wordings of the new curriculum "identifies the need for young people who challenge injustice, are committed to human rights and strive to live peaceably with others."

This goal is incompatible with the teaching of relativism. How can a young person challenge injustice if they do not possess a concept of right versus wrong? How can you have a justice system without the idea that there are some acts that are prohibited?

The pandering of relativistic garbage to children is sick. They want children to develop a sense of their place in the world. This reeks of thought control. They want to produce the socialist society with a place for everyone and everyone in their place. This is completely at odds with reality. They want to replicate the society of old with themselves as the new nobles.

It is a cliche to say that we are a "government of laws not of men." This is unfeasible if right vs. wrong is obliterated. How can you have a society of laws if every man can make his own determination of right versus wrong? Without a consensus on this issue the rule of law is untenable.

Without such consensus we descend into a Hobbiesian world in which every man is his own judge.

It has finally arrived folks. I bet we will see something like this in writing here in the US before the end of the decade.

Kalashikovs and Cupcakes

Christina Lamb's weblog over at the UK Times puts forth an interesting question:

If you can get $10 a day fighting for the Taliban and $20 a month as a policeman
what would you choose?

The answer I am sure she expects is "Hey I will fight for the Taliban." The nature of the question is idiotic and misguided. It is based on a false assumption about the nature of man. The answer she expects is posited on the assumption that people weigh allegiances on a purely economic cost/value scale. This is an unwarranted assumption.

The idea of right versus wrong or good versus evil does not play into her piece at all. Her question is similar to asking "$30,000 dollars a year as a cop or $60,000 a week as a drug smuggler, what would you choose?"

The answer is quite clear to me. She completely overlooks the fact that there is honor in one. By phrasing the question in the manner in which she did, she makes it seem as if either choice is as equally valid as the other.

Of course I am sure that is how she meant it. Modern day ethics tells us that there is not such thing as an objectively good or bad choice. All choices are inherently equal. It goes back to Weber's (may he burn in hell) fact/value distinction. The problem with this is that it ignores the fact that values can be facts and facts can be values.

People fight for reasons that are not connected to economic gain.

John Keegan, the greatest military historian of modernity, put it this way:

The graphic depiction of the reality of legionary warfare, in which the
unvarying daily order of the camp...could be suddenly interrupted by
confrontation with a yelling crowd of unshaven and unkempt strangers, reeking of
dirt and fear and sweating with the intense exertion of muscle-power warfare,
conveys withou the need for further demonstration that the Roman professional
soldier did not serve for the monetary rewards enlistment brought him. his
values were those by which his fellows in the modern age continue to live: pride
in a distinctive (and distinctly masculine) way of life, concern to enjoy the
the good opinion of comrades, satifaction in the largely symbolic tokens of
professional success, hopes of promotion, expectation of a comfortable and
honourable retirement.

The numbers do not lie

In my email today I found a pearl among the garbage.

Dan Wesson, a true friend and Dictator for Life of the Friendzone, sent me this.

It is a complete list of political contributions made by celebs.

Of course there is very little earthshatering information here. Most of the contributions went to Dims. One thing I did notice was that country music stars tended to give heavily to Republicans.

Some other interesting tidbits: Heather Locklear has only given to Republicans, as has Chuck Norris. Maury Povich gave $2,000 to President Bush in 2004. Kevin Sorbo, Hercules to you mere mortals, also gave to Republicans. Alex Trebek, with his Dago mustache and greasy hair, cut checks to Republicans as well.

This list makes you a fully informed consumer. Now you can verify what you have only suspected. Choose your movies and music well folks.

You have to admire his bravado

A Scottish man has plead guilty to living off the proceeds of prostitution.

He originally claimed his brothel was a center for disabled kids. He claimed that the poles were there for disabled people and that the mirrors on the ceilings were decorative.

I find this guys line of work exploitive and immoral, but I admire his bravado.

My YouTube addiction

Ok I admit it, I am addicted to YouTube.

Breaking up is hard to do...but fun to watch

Pet peeve: emo kids

Ok watch this video and laugh.

Emo kids get on my nerves big time. I had one in a class in college that annoyed the hell out of me. He was a total crying pussy who believed that there was no reason ever to fight for anything. His reasoning was "violence has never solved a problem." After I produced a list of problems that violence has solved he claimed that I was misinterpreting the world.

Once I overheard a group of emo kids, who all seemed to be dressed alike, talking about how everyone else was a conformist.

These people give those of us who are actually seeking introspection a bad name.

I don't like to stereotype because everyone who stereotypes is a cockface, but all emo guys are gay and all emo chicks are lesbos.

Listen and listen good: Life does suck at times, but it also great at times. You need to take the good with the bad. It is ok to discuss the bad, but if you get hung up on it you will be short changing yourself. Happiness is often found in the little things.

I will see your shame and raise you self-loathing

I can completely relate to this article on the precarious nature of the modern dating scene.

I can relate to being blown off in text messages and emails. I have had a bad internet date. I have never been the accomplice to infidelity so I have one up on this guy. He is right though. The whole scene has become predatory. Lots of women seem out for blood these days. I have hunted mountain lions that are more merciful than modern day ladies.

It seems that in the war of the sexes, women have gone nuclear.

In fact this article gives me hope. I am better looking than this guy. My problem is that I can not approach a woman. I would think I am a pretty good catch. I am in law school, can cook very well, am free of all major diseases, have a budding political career, and know how to treat women.

Every time I am out I see lots of ladies I find attractive. I am just unsure how to approach them.
Ladies riddle me this: How should I approach a woman I find attractive without looking like some sort of slimeball?

My sentiments exactly

John Derbyshire on the Middle East.

He is of course right: "We can't ignore the damn loathsome filthy accursed place."

I wish we could. That is the only reason that I support less dependence on Mid-East oil. I don't give a damn about the environment, I just hate having to depend on the Arabs for our energy. I would love to let the savages in the Middle East tear each other apart. If we did not have to worry about the hurt feelings of the Arabs we could turn the Israelis loose to purge the Middle East of the barbarians.

I am tired of being told what the Arab street thinks. They are nothing more than illiterate animals and perverts who want to kill Westerners to avenge Muslim defeats that occurred hundreds of years ago.

Chris Bell: a giant idiot

Check out this new commercial for Texas Dimocratic gubernatorial candidate Chris Bell.

Freaky huh?

The gall of this man, putting his arm around Sam Houston.

I hear the next ad will have Chris Bell battling MechaGodzilla in the middle of Houston.

I love the part of the commercial where Bell suggests that we should be "preparing our kids for college, not to take standardized tests." I seem to remember having to take a standardized test to get into college.

I hate the whole "teaching to the test" screed that teachers and administrators cry about. Isn't every teacher "teaching to the test" at some point?

The tests are not arbitrary. They are meant to ensure that kids are learning basic skills in math, reading, and science. If teachers are teaching to the test are they not just teaching basic skills?

That one line shows right where the loyalties of Chris Bell lie. He is obviously in the pocket of the socialist teacher's union.

The teachers oppose these test for two reasons. First of all they expose how incompetent they are. If they are not teaching children basic skills in math and reading the test will show it. The second reason is that the tests are objective measures. The Lefty ideology of the teacher's groups hates the idea of objective standards. They want to teach children to feel and express themselves because they can never be wrong there. They fear Truth and objectivity because both expose deficiency. To do such a thing would harm the "self esteem" of teachers and students and make them feel bad.

We need to destroy the public school system and rebuild it from the ground up. That may sound harsh but I am like the doctor who saw the disease and was brave enough to prescribe poison.

What we are fighting

Photo from Reuters

This photo was snapped outside the Israeli consulate in New York.

Notice the sign in the background. It says "Islam will Dominate" and has a picture of the White House with a Muslim flag flying over it.

Also note the swastika inside the Star of David on the poster in the foreground. These people are not in the Middle East. These are people living on the east side. These are Americans or at least immigrants.

Just think about it: Islam will dominate. Islam will dominate.

Do you want that to happen?

This war is not about Muslim poverty, Palestinian rights, or the War on Terror. It is about a bunch on 7th century perverts trying to assuage their thousand year old humiliation by the West. I await the voice of moderate Muslims to silence these people, but I am beginning to suspect that all adherents of Islam are nothing more than mindless savages.

Islam will Dominate.

The Dims might begin to "argue about whether it’s time to argue about important arguments"

Jonah Goldberg examines the motivations behind the anti-Lieberman hysteria and also touches on the general lack of ideas on the Left.

He makes some good points but nothing ground breaking. We all know that the only thing that keeps the Left/Far Left/Communist Big Tent together is a deep love of hating George W. Bush and Republicans in general.

Dim voters show up to the polls simply to prove that they are opposed to the War on Terror, hate Republicans, and are still committed to the class war. That about sums up the Dim agenda.

I have always disagreed with the assertion that the Left does not have any ideas. They have plenty of ideas. The problem is that their ideas are so unpalatable to the American people that they have to describe them in pleasant sounding euphemisms.

Let's catalogue just a small portion of their double speak:

-using the term "right to choose," "reproductive rights," or "women's rights" when they really mean abortion. If their is nothing wrong with abortion why do the Dims so rarely use the word? They like to use the word "rights" because no one wants to be seen opposing rights.

-using the term "social justice" as a catchphrase for stoking envy, playing the race card, bullying private concerns, and attacking anyone who does not subscribe to their radical ideology.

-using terms such as "opposing imperialism" to give a pass to savages around the world when they commit horrendous acts.

We all know what they want to do anyway.

The Dims want the following:

-to kill as many babies as possible through abortion. They love abortion for two reasons: 1. They see every abortion performed as a blow for women's rights, and 2. they are committed to a population phobia that manifests itself in a manner that is red in tooth and claw.

-to raise taxes in a childish attempt to get even with those they see as "rich."

-turn America's children over to the hapless bunch of incompetents called teachers because most of the people who go into teaching are too stupid to see through the liberal brainwashing they received in school. They then use the schools as houses of propaganda and brainwashing.

-use the courts to advance a social agenda that is not only unpopular but detrimental to the nation.

-turn American foreign policy over to the tin pot dictators, mullahs, communists, criminals, and fascists over at the UN.

-surrender the initiative in the War on Terror to the barbarian jihadists.

As I have said hundreds of times, the stakes are clear. Either we purge the liberals from our nation or we will witness the collapse of the United States and the West.

I defy anyone to read this without tears

George Will reflects on the dementia that stole his mothers spirit before taking her life.

It is poetic and beautiful because it is so profoundly human.

In an article full of beauty this quote stood out for me:

"The aging that conquered Louise was, like war, a mighty scourge, and, like war, elicited nobility from those near its vortex. The nearest was Fred Will, who died eight years ago, at the end of his ninth decade. "

Will finishes with the story of his father's struggle with his wife's fading memory. I guess that part effected me because you could genuinely feel the love in the poetry Fred Will wrote his wife.

I want to love and be loved like that.

Good night friends.

Update: It was raining aliens

Back in March I posted this: It's raining men...I mean aliens.

Here is an update on the story.

Well an analysis of mysterious particles found in the samples of "red rain" have revealed some interesting things. Experiments have shown that the DNA-less cell like structures can reproduce even in superheated water.

Scientists suggests that these are some form of super adapted space microbe.

See the WordBearer keeps track of even his most bizarre stories.

Angry rant #131

No links here baby.

I want to rant for a little while about the whole situation in the Middle East. Folks, I am sorry to say this, but we are seeing the beginning of World War III. The Hitler of this war is of course the lovely president of Iran. I think his name is Frank or Steve or something like that. It is obvious to anyone that he is the one provoking all this.

Of course there has been the usual chorus of libs and Dims on TV with the same talking points. They all claim that Iraq has sapped our strength and made us unable to deal with Iran and North Korea. We all know that if the US had attacked Iran rather than Iraq all the libs would be yelling" why did you go after Iran when Saddam is the bigger threat?" Same goes for if we had attacked North Korea.

The simple point is that we are faced with three dangerous foes just like in the 40's. The difference is that our allies lack the spine necessary to take on these threats. The Brits are a sad shadow of their former selves. The French have never been much use in anything more violent than an orderly surrender. The Germans have become nothing more than a loose collection of porn addicts, socialists, and nihilists.

The only way to wake up the sniffling hordes of Europe would be for a nuclear bomb to detonate in one of their cities. Most of them believe that the terrorists have a beef with the US and that they are safely under the radar. This is not true. The rage over the Danish cartoons is proof of their hatred of the West. The jihad will reach the shores of Norway, Ireland, and Brazil eventually. I know Brazil is not in Europe but I guarantee that soon you will see Islamic terror cells cropping up in South America. This war is not about Palestine, the US War on Terror, or poverty in the Middle East. This is about jihad. Our enemies want to make a world wide caliphate.

The stakes are clear people. There is no room for negotiation. The survival of the West is at stake.

The West needs to invade Muslim countries and bring order. We need to go Roman on their asses. If they resist then we destroy every bit of infrastructure, kill all who get in our way, destroy their shrines, and salt the very earth on which they stand. Either we end the war our way or it will be ended for us.

75 simple questions for liberals

Hat tip to KLo at the Corner on this one.

Greg Gutfeld over at the Huffington Post counters Lefty Ellisberg's talking points by proposing 75 of his own. I have culled the best of them and posted them below. For the full list click the link above. Print these out, put them in your pocket, and demand that every liberal you meet answer them.

- What can Democrats do other than complain (and come up with dumb questions that, in fact, are complaints)?
- Can you admit Al Franken isn't that funny?

-could you talk to a Marine without secretly knowing he or she knows you're on thin ice?
-Is Al Franken patenting the pubic hair and Elmer's glue cure for baldness, or is he just keeping the idea to himself?
- What's the official reason Cindy Sheehan doesn't HuffPost anymore?
-Is 'progressive' the best euphemism you've got?

- While we harp on the ills of Sen. Joseph McCarthy and the harm he did to America, do we practice McCarthyism on those we disagree with politically?
-How did we come to hate the President of the United States more than Saddam Hussein and bin-Laden?
- Could it be because you can't admit you're very scared about Islamic Extremism and know these guys are dead serious and don't negotiate, and framing a Republican as evil incarnate is easier to grapple with?
-How did we find it better to foment hatred for our own country instead of focusing on fanatics bent on destroying it?
-Could it be possible that your 'all Republicans are stupid or evil' schtick from bumpersticker to watercooler to cocktail chatter causes everyone else to feel very uncomfortable, but they just chalk up your rudeness to a simple mind?

-is the Sheehan-type hysteria that defines the left simply a function of Baby Boomers collectively knowing that their progeny have no intention of carrying on their philosophical and political legacy when they (soon) pass?

-what is the worst personal experience you have had in the economically depressed BushCo police state?
-It was that bad taco wasn't it?

"You going to eat Allah that omelet?"

A Kazakh chicken has laid an egg that seems to have the word "Allah" inscribed on it in Arabic.

Local villagers believe that the egg will not rot, unlike muslim civilization.

Jesus was unavailable for comment because he was busy appearing on a pancake in Oklahoma City.

Explain to me why there are no treason charges for this

I was at a Barnes & Noble today, just browsing, and I caught sight of this little tome.


10 Reasons Not to Join the Military

The contributors are people like Cindy Sheehan, or as she is also known, this generations Axis Sally. Of course I am sure that Axis Sally had a fact checker.

I skimmed the book and there were such wonderful chapters like : "You Could Die" and "You Could be Injured".

Lets put these titles under the lens of scrutiny.

First of all, you can die at any time. Not only members of the military die. You can die at home in a car crash. 40,000 Americans die in car crashes every year.

The same is true for injury. I dropped a weight on my foot last night. That could happen anywhere. The point is that these are all stupid reason for not joining the army. They are better reasons for just never leaving bed in the morning.

Why are these people not being tried for treason? Are we so stupid that we can not see the difference between criticism of the government and colluding with the enemy?

The enemies of the US do not want us to have a strong military. They would love to see us pull out of Iraq. If people had written books like this in the 40's Roosevelt would have had them rounded up.

The peace lobby either does not realize the danger posed by Islamic militants or does not care. They are either fantastically stupid or suicidally malicious.

This is not a freedom of speech issue. The Constitution is not a suicide pact. Democracy and toleration are worthless if they mean that a society has to tolerate that which rejects both democracy and toleration. Yet this is the sort of morally relativistic, non-value judgment, self hating tripe that will destroy the US in the end.

On a totally unrelated topic: Why are there so many damn books written about the Cathars and Celts? These two groups are arguably the D students of Western history. The Romans had the right idea when it came to Celts; depopulating Gaul over a ten year period.

I would suggest we adopt this policy toward the modern Gauls, but they are doing a pretty good job on their own.

Dick Cheney claims another victim

So much death, so much pain.

Let's have some fun

It has been a while since your humble WordBearer has posted any funny videos. Well I have found a few gems that all of you will enjoy.

Alec Russell: Lets get patriotic

Alec Russell over at the London Telegraph encourages his fellow Brits to take a page out of America's playbook and become more patriotic.

The problem is not just in Britain. Europe as a whole has lost a sense of its identity. The spirit of Rome and Greece has been extinguished in favor of the spirit of Marx and Nieztsche.

This is the root of the crisis of the West. Those of us who live in the Western world are supposed to feel perpetually guilty about our colonialism, supposed imperialism, and slavery. This is of course insincere. Every civilization has practiced imperialism, slavery, and colonialism.

Listen people, buck up and get some pride.

Op-eds, man I love them

Time for a round up of some of my favorite writers. Take these pieces of wisdom as a gift.

1. Walter Williams asks "Who is to blame" for the low scores of black students in the public education system.

He puts an awful of blame on teachers. I would have placed more. The vast majority of public school teachers are lazy, poorly educated, full of liberal idiocy, and frankly worthless. There are many good ones, but the system they work in confounds any attempts at greatness.

I have little more than contempt for most public educators. They are the clergy of the Church of Liberalism. They do not teach children about truth, but more often teach them about "tolerance", "open mindedness", and other stupid catchphrases that simply hide the truth behind their teachings. I'm tired of teachers being immune from criticism. All we hear about is how underpayed and underappreciated they are. Neither of those are true of course.

To all teachers out there listen up. The time has come to justify your existence. Supporting education does not mean that we have to support you without question. If you don't like the pay, get another job.

If yall are doing such a bang up job why do American children's scores decline after spending time in the public school system?

American preschoolers start school with high IQs and in the 4th grade perform better than the children of all countries except Japan and South Korea. The more time they spend in the public school system the lower their scores become.

The greatest criminals in history have been teachers.

2. Thomas Sowell meanders along a similar path.

3. Denis Boyles takes on the poll cited below.

He makes a good point. Why should we care? The Brits, along with the rest of Europe, are poorly educated and he claims Britain is on the verge of being without an educated elite.

4. Jay Nordlinger's wide ranging Impromptus column should be regularly read by all of you.

Everyone hates the good guy

A poll of Brits finds that they are tired of the cruel, vulgar, and imperilstic United States.

Why do we care? When did the US start trying to win populatrity contests? Are we supposed to change our ways because Malcolm Donner of south London thinks we need to be nicer to Arabs and meaner to Jews?

I really do not blame the Brits. To those who do not know, the alternative media has a smaller following in the UK. I read alot of British newspapers and follow both the BBC and Sky news. The information they receive is by and large anti-American.

My experience with Europeans has taught me an awful lot of things. Most of all they know many things that simply are not true. They think racism and poverty are rampant in the US. They see the US as a society of half-educated hillbillies who refuse to see their singular genius. My experiences have also shown me that Europeans tend to be greatly misinformed about the world. They buy the "Peace at any price" and "Negotiate at all cost" arguments as if they were gospel. They seem to have forgotten their former selves and turned their lives over to socialism, the most profound expression of Eastern despotism aside from Islam.

This makes me rethink my love of the British people. I am a huge Anglophile and see the UK as the best friend that America could have. Now I am not so sure.

Chistopher Hitchens wants to know why we really care what the world thinks.

Libs heading north

Turns out large numbers of libs are fleeing to Canada to avoid "that man Bush."

If they want to go hang around with a bunch of pasty, Ann-Murray loving, gay marriage accepting, Shatner-countrymen then go ahead.

Hollywood fasts, Four-Star restaurants take hit

Joining the homely matron of surrender Cindy Sheehan, several Hollywood celebs are going to go on hunger strikes to protest the war in Iraq.

How pompous can these people get? Do they really think that missing a few meals will bring the troops home? This is just an idiotic publicity stunt. Isn't a big part of the Hollywood lifestyle predicated on not eating?

All you celebs need to listen right now. We do not care how you feel about the war, environment, AIDS, gay marriage, or guns. All you are paid to do is pretend to be people who matter. You are not Gandhi, Mother Teresa, or any other sort of martyr. Just go back to your mansion and enjoy your terror free day courtesy of the Bush administration and America's fighting men and women.

My nightmares are filled with images of Dick Cheney

He is fear incarnate. Death follows with him where ever he goes. The ground he walks on cracks asunder and nature itself abhors his presence. It is all because:

Dick Cheney won an Oscar after he filmed his own circumcision

His navel doubles as a modem

He was the first person ever described as "armed and dangerous"

Only Dick Cheney knows the horrible secret behind "Sweaten to the Oldies"

Do you know why the Leaning Tower of Pisa tilts to the right? Because Dick Cheney built it

He once got a colonic of sulfuric acid and Butterscotch ice cream

His favorite cocktail is the Salty Dog...made with a real dog

His first words were "Roosevelt is a commie"

Dick Cheney invented the concept of VoiceMail when he ripped out the larynx of a communist and overnighted it to Larry King

He has a standing appointment at a Washington salon to get his nails done and his spines ground down

After meeting the Verizon spokesman Dick Cheney tore off his ears, ate them, then asked "Can you fear me now?"

The sight of his bare feet drove Hunter Thompson to end his life

"Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" was inspired by accounts of Dick Cheney's first birthday party

He had his first heart attack in Kindergarten

Dim party is just like a smoothie...

...full of fruits, but may be bad for you.

Actually the story is about the hazards of fruit smoothies, but I could not resist the joke.

Hey I am weak.

Your humble WordBearer does not go in for all this health food stuff. I know many of you, I'm looking in your direction Ox, are into that tofu, fauxfu, organic hippie crap. Give me some good old fashioned genetically altered, pesticide soaked, omnivorous corn to your fairy tomatoes that will lower your testosterone. It starts with organic strawberries and ends with you and your life partner strapping on your fanny packs and going out to buy a Chinese Crested.

Once I did go to one of those smoothie places. Here is dramatization of that event.

Cute Juice Girl: "Would you like to try our new Pina Colada flavored smoothie sir?"

WordBearer: "How much rum is in it?"

Cute Juice Girl: "None, it is healthy and will help you live longer."

WordBearer: "No thanks then, I'm going the other way on that."

Hey at least I did not ask her : "Do you come with the drink?"

Go about your day with happiness my friends.

More knife silliness in Britain

Record numbers found carrying knives in Britain.

As usual the pussy anti-weapons/masculinity/self responsibility groups are demanding mandatory minimum sentences for carrying a blade.

Perhaps the reason people feel compelled to go armed is linked to Labour's inability to combat crime?

See my previous posts here and here for further information.

The Chinese Age or China Ages?

We hear it all the time. People, especially Europeans, love to talk about the miracle of the Chinese. In high school I was told that by 2015 the Chinese would surpass us economically. None of it is true. The intention of this is to raise doubts about the power of the United States.

Your humble WordBearer has long been a naysayer on the veracity of Chinese economic prospects.

The NY Times (I know I loath them too) has an interesting story about China's aging problem.

By the year 2020, 1/3rd of the population of the city of Shanghai will be over 59. Experts say Shanghai is on the leading edge of one of the most profound demographic changes in history. There may soon be manpower shortages due to the massive amount of elderly Chinese.

Much of this problem can be laid at the feet of the disastrous one child policy of the Communist Party. It eviscerated the flower of Chinese youth and has created a top heavy population pyramid. The massive social welfare net will be strained due to the lack of young people to pay taxes. The Chinese government will collapse before they ever economically overtake us.

The population control freaks in the West will lead us down the same road if we allow it. Their constant calls for population controls through abortion will skew our demographics as well.

All I can say is this: Ladies and gentlemen, get married and have kids. Have a bunch; at least two. The future of mankind depends on what you do in your bedroom. How private can it really be?

The next lifestyle choice: Anorexia

As hard as it is to believe, many of those suffering from the eating/mental disorder known as anorexia are now catergorizing their illness as a "lifestyle choice."

Groups who support the anorexic lifestyle, known as "pro-anas", have popped up all over the internet; setting up websites to promote their affliction to others.

All I can say is that these people are sick and really need help. I know the media promotes ultra-thinness as the standard to which we should all attain, but it is simply not the truth. These people are displaying a case similar to Stockholm Sydrome. They are identifying with their mental captures in the media and the entertainment industry.

The advocates of this sickness have obviously done their homework. By couching their disease in terms like "lifestyle choice," they have appropriated the language of modern liberalism to collude in their ritualistic suicide. By defining their sickness as a choice they are asserting the idea that it must be judged by the modern ethic that holds all lifestyle choices as equally valid and denies that any choice can be judged as good or bad.

In the modern world we no longer view the promotion of virtuous behavior as the obligation of society. We instead promote "fulfillment" and "authenticity."

One example of this is the oft proffered piece of advice: "Be who you are." Implied in this is the concept that being what you are is the best course of action. This is absurd. What if who you really are is a thuggish bully? This makes no sense to me.

The point is that we must know ourselves. We must examine our characters and natures and determine what about us is bad, and should be suppressed, and what is good, which should be exalted. Self-examination is the key. The pro-anas have not examined themselves properly. They have bought into the modern lie of appearance. If they properly examined themselves, they would note this behavior as destructive and worthy of suppression.

Let me add this as well. Ladies speaking for most guys, we do not really care much about your weight...to a point. Being 300 pounds overweight is not health or attractive, it is a sign of a severe problem. What I am talking about is the girl who is 150 pounds and thinks she needs to be 100 to be desirable. It is simply not true.

Hell I just get stoked when a woman talks to me. Weight should be monitored for health reasons. Just relax about it ladies. Ignore the media because they do not have your best interests at heart. Besides curvy chicks are hot. Why someone would want a wraith is beyond me.

A Mexican man once gave me a very good piece of advice: "Bones are for the dogs, meat is for the man."

Mull that over and get back to me.

VDH, the speaker of reason

Time for a whine

Ok after spending some time on other sites, I noticed that personal ramblings tend to garner many replies. I get few on my news rants, so I thought I would get a little personal today.

Your humble WordBearer is still having trouble in the lady department.

As many of you may remember, I had spent months working up the courage to ask out a lovely young lady that I knew. When I finally did she said yes. I can not begin to describe my happiness. Dan Wesson can attest to it, he had lunch with me afterwards.

Well a few days later she sent me a text message on my phone saying she had changed her mind. My devastation equaled or surpassed the elation I felt when she agreed.

My self-worth took quite a hit. Dan Wesson and CartoonBeaver really helped me get through it. To them I am eternally grateful. Side note: I have known CartoonBeaver since we were six and was the best man at his wedding. I have not known Wesson as long, but count him, as one of the best friends a guy could have. Lots of love to a certain Wolf and Warrior as well.

I am over her maltreatment...to a degree, but still am alone each night. Any help would be useful.

I'm not a club guy. I used to go to lots of them but always lost out to better looking guys. Let's face it; those places are meat markets and I am not Grade A prime. I'm more like Grade X: Circus animal and some filler.

I consider myself a good guy. I have my glaring faults like all others. I'm not great looking in my opinion, but I am respectful and have a good sense of humor.

I know this is all mindless rambling, but I am getting tired of hanging around the same places and doing the same things. The WordBearer needs to bear his word into more diverse places.

Knife control: First a joke, now a reality

As you, my astute readers, will remember, your humble WordBearer has been cataloguing the rise in knife related crime in Britain. See this post: Knife culture overtakes Britain

Well now the family of a young man murdered by a knife wielding assailant has called for stricter laws on carrying knives.

The Brits banned guns long ago. This illustrates the simple fact that people are violent, and they will find the means to kill one another. The tool does not matter. Gun, knife, it does not matter.

People kill people, not knives and guns.

The return of the WordBearer

Your humble WordBearer has been gone for a couple of days. I was out in the Laguna Madre menacing the speckled sea trout. May post pictures later.

Back to business.

The upswing in prostitution anticipated for the World Cup has not materialized.

See below posts and the Dumb Ox for further details about the importation of Eastern European women to "service" the hordes of drunken men. The article makes it sound like all this is consensual, but you, the astute Ring of Gyges reader, know better.

Frankly the idea of thousands of men lining up to abuse (and it is abuse) a woman in this manner chills me to the bone. It also offends my sense of honor and angers me to no end. My virtue, what little I have, precludes me from sanctioning this.

I have urges like every other guy...well probably more than the normal guy, but I would rather go without than use a prostitute. It is called self-control. We are not animals people. We do not need to copulate just because we feel the need.

Enough of my pontificating. I am off to sob uncontrollably into a glass of beer. Shiner Bock to be exact.

Germany should be ashamed

All of you who read the Dumb Ox know the Ox and I have been talking alot about the importation of Eastern European women into Germany to "service" male World Cup fans.

Donna Hughes over at the National Review is on the story. She recounts the tale of two Russian women who were shipped to Germany and used as prostitutes.


She is quite right that Germany should be ashamed of what is going on. Germany legalized prostitution in 2002 at the insistence of women's groups and perverts. As many as 40,000 women will be imported for the World Cup.

The exploitation of women in this manner is something that no civilized nation should tolerate. I do not buy this "it is my body I can do what I want with it." That is a load of bogus garbage. Hughes article points out that most of the workers are controlled by pimps and mafia groups and have little choice in what they do. This is despite the fact that it is a legal career in Germany. This is not a freedom issue. What is at issue is the basic dignity of the human person.

I also do not buy the "victimless crime" mentality. There are plenty of victims to prostitution. First of all is the prostitute and customer, both their families, and the people in the neighborhoods where the acts occur who see their property values go down and have to deal with the blowback from sex workers. What about the health system that has to deal with the disease and health problems sex workers encounter?

Let me cut off a few objections. I know prostitution has been around forever and has been accepted in many other societies. That is meaningless. Cannibalism has been around forever and been accepted in many societies. Should we legalize the eating of others? Just because something has been around forever does not mean that it is right.

There is no dignity to prostitution. Would you want your daughter to choose the life spent on her back, knees, or bending over a table?

No matter how lonely I get I would not use a prostitute. I would never be able to forgive myself.

Michael Novak: The Dims are screwed

He is predicting a Dim defeat in this year's elections.

I have been saying this for a while now. The Dims are counting their chickens before they are hatched.

1. The way Republican state legislatures have drawn their districts makes it very difficult for Dims to win the 15 seats they need to take the House.

2. The Dims are placing too much faith in the polls. All the polls are showing the same thing: responders prefer generic Dims to Republicans and have a very low opinion of Congress.

To draw any significant conclusions from these polls over looks some very important facts. First of all respondents almost always say they prefer a generic Dim. It is when you get to specific Dims that they back out.

Number two, the low approval ratings of Congress are nothing new. It is Public Opinion 101. When you ask people how they feel about Congress they always disapprove. Yet when you get to their specific Congressman they tend to give positive reviews. In summation, voters tend to dislike Congress as a whole but like their Congressman.

3. Dissatisfaction with Republicans does not mean that the country is ripe for Dim leadership.

Most of the disatisfaction with Republicans comes from their voters. People want less spending and Congress to curb its appetite. These people are not going to vote for Dims. The most they are going to do is not show up. That is what the Republicans must fear.

The Dims seem to think that the country is ready for more taxes, class warfare, greater social spending, and socializing medicine. Nothing could be further from the truth.

3. If the Dims think the "Culture of Corruption" strategy is going to work they are sorely mistaken.

The corruption knife cuts both ways. If you make the accusation you open yourself up to it. Does William Jefferson ring a bell? They would do better making sure that their own house is in order.

What voters will see is a Dim party grasping at anything under the sun to try to get power. Basically they will be seeing the truth.

4. Not to sound to Kerry-like, but the Dims "Don't have a plan."

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know they stand for this and that but most of it is just worthless feel good catch phrases like "social justice." They have no Contract or Convenant with America.

That was a big part of the 1994 Republican Revolution. The Dims need a plan that people can get behind. The problem is that what they believe is so idiotic that people see right through it. Americans do not want to cut and run in Iraq, destroy the economy with attempts to redistribute wealth, and coddle terrorists.

Their desire to impeach the president is not going to help them either. People do not want to go through another impeachment in less than a decade. They only say those things to fire up their loony base and the average American finds those people contemptible.

The Dims are not going to make much headway in November in my opinion.

Just a side note: I hate the phrase "Speaking Truth to Power."

Here is what it really means: "I'm a pompous douche bag and I say shit like this because my ideas suck and no one will listen. Obviously if you don't listen to me you are a power mad animal who can not see my divine wisdom. The revolution is coming. Your head will be on a pike."

What really annoyed me was when Carl Levin said it the other day. He is power. Who the hell is he speaking truth about?

I get it, but few others do

Joel Mowbray answers the question many people are asking "Why attack Canada"?

It is a good question. Canada does not support US efforts in the Gulf, harbors radical imams, and does not adequately defend itself. Why would they attack Canada? Hey the country is basically America's weak little brother.

Of course the answer is simple and I have been harping on it for a long time: The terror leaders have no interest in the supposed abuses of Muslims world wide. Their goal is a world caliphate. All of the reasons and slights they spout are just the pretext for their desire to turn the world into their idea of paradise. To the rest of us it is known as squalor and barbarism.

Mowbray asks the question that is asked alot recently: Why don't non-radical Muslims stand up to their hate preaching imams?

I believe that while many Muslims dislike the methods of the terrorists, they secretly cheer every time they kill Westerners.

They are like all the people who were not in the Klan but were not sorry that blacks were lynched.

Their silence speaks volumes.

Roast in Hell douche bag

Since it is the hot news item of the week, perhaps month. I, your humble WordBearer, will offer an assessment of what the death of this son of a bee (yeah that is right I said it) will mean.

1. The Dims will still complain. Hell they already are.

The Dims can not benefit from this in anyway. If Zarqawi had escaped they would have had an opportunity to attack Bush for incompetence. The Dims have never supported the war in Iraq or the War on Terror itself. Sure many of them voted for the Iraq war resolution, but that was just so they would not face a voter backlash.

2. This is a good thing.

Reporters have already started asking questions about who will replace Zarqawi. They seem to insinuate that it might be someone worse. It could be that it will be someone worse, but the odds are better that it will be someone who is not. Plus killing the boss really does matter. Look what happened to the Anglo-Saxons after the death of Harold at the Battle of Hastings.

As a guy who has been in many organizations, I know from experience that any group is going to have rifts and factions. Al-Zarqawi was a terror mastermind. His replacement will not be easy. Perhaps there are multiple figures hoping to take over. Maybe they will war on one another.

I'm not sure about this article though. Too extreme for a group that murdered thousands on 9/11?


3. The war will go on.

There are still lots of thugs loose in Iraq. We will never be able to eradicate them all, but we can quell them. We did not eradicate all the Nazi's, but we did defeat them. There are still unreformed Confederate sympathizers in this country. I myself am still angry over the outcome of the the Battle of Bosworth....damn usurping Tudors. Yet I am not going to take up a sword, mount a barded steed, and fright the souls of fearful adversaries over it.

I am proud of our troops and their commanders. They are doing a difficult job and they just got rid of a serious cockface.

Kennedy swears off 'mood altering' drugs

Isn't power a mood altering drug?

Will he swear off his pompous pontificating?

This scandal is so Kennedy. All it needed was a dead chick and it would have been perfect. Well Pat Kennedy is no Teddy.

A social war is brewing in China

Yesterday the Chinese paper The People's Daily, the official Communist Party paper, ran a commentary piece that reaffirmed China's commitment to economic reforms.

The reason this is an issue is due to China's internal war between reformers and new leftists. Inside the Chinese bureaucracy a war is being waged between those who want to hold on to authoritarian rule and get rich, and those who want to hold on to authoritarian rule and be poor.

No matter who wins China is not going to change much. It will remain the belligerent wannabe hegemon that it currently is.

When nerds attack

Chaos ensued during the international Chess Olympiad after British grandmaster Danny Gormally assaulted an Armenian player at a nightclub in Turin.

The fight broke out after Levon Aronian was seen dancing with the Australian chess bombshell (there are some words you thought you would never hear) Arianne Caoili. Apparently Mr. Gormally has a crush on Ms. Caoili.

Denis Jessop, president of the Australian Chess Federation, was not surprised to hear that violence had once again tainted the world of chess.

Mr Jesso told reporters that, "I am not surprised at anything that chess players do. It is not the first time that there's been an argument at a chess tournament and people have hit each other, he said."

Authorities believe this was the worst boardgame related crime since the infamous "You sank my battleship" killing spree of 1991.

Update: Stephen Moore over at the Guardian has a blurb on the fight and what it means for chess.

He is a little over dramatic but it is still interesting.

Since I have not lightened the mood lately, I thought I would post a couple of funny videos. Have a wonderful day everyone.

Finally a defense of extremism

Jonah Goldberg puts forth an excellent defense of extremism is today's NRO.

I have always disliked the idiots who are always pushing "moderate" and "centrist" approaches to problems. It is a weak argument. The argument Goldberg makes about extreme solutions points out that at least they are feasible. Both extreme positions on the war in Iraq are feasible. Either we get tough and discard the rules of engagement, or we simply admit defeat and withdraw. Currently we are trying to fight in a "centrist" manner: kill terrorist but try to avoid any bad press or civilian casualties.

I have always distrusted people who claimed they were moderate. What that person is bascially saying is "I do not have any real core beliefs or anything that I could not compromise on." To me that is untenable. It reeks of a life lived without passions.

Whittaker Chambers once said that a man needs a reason to live and a reason to die.

Would anyone die for the moderate position on anything?

I know most people turn to the moderate position out of a belief that they are doing the right thing, that they will take the best of the extreme positions, put them together and form a workable solution. What they end up with is a hodgepodge of contradictory ideas that turn into a bureaucratic nightmare.

For those advocates of moderation I have the following questions: Am I to be moderate in my pursuit of justice? Am I to be moderate in the pursuit of the Good and Truth? Am I to be moderate in doing what is right?

Pedophiles to launch a political party

A coalition of Dutch perverts, criminals, and sickos have formed a political party.

The Charity, Freedom and Diversity party, also known as the NVD, wishes to legalize sex with children and animals, and a wants pornography on television.

Their agenda seeks to allow nudity in public, 16 year olds to prostitute themselves, and advocates for the complete legalization of drugs.

Somewhere Rousseau is standing and applauding.

This is what happens when you place unlimited freedom as the ultimate end to society. I am more a a Burkian lover of masculine liberty. There are simply somethings that are wrong.

Watch things like this will spread to all Western nations. When you abandon morality as a nation, and take up the ethic of "if it feels good do it," then you condemn your nation to death, hedonism, and weakness.

I am glad that the people of the Netherlands are mostly opposed to this party, but they are reaping what they have sown.

Chavez's “Bolivarian” revolution is faltering

Two candidates supported by the piece of human garbage that is Hugo Chavez are about to lose their elections.

It turns out his interference in local affairs is as unpopular with local electorate as the United States'.

President Uribe of Columbia, a fierce opponent of Chavez, is going to easily defeat his opponent.

Alan Garcia, the moderate leftist poised to defeat Chavez's ultranationalist Ollanta Humala, has accused Chavez of being "borderline crazy" and using "petro-imperialism...to wield undue influence over poorer countries."

This is fabulous. Chavez does not want to fight American imperialism, he wants to use the wealth and blood of the people Venezuela to fulfill his Bolshevik fantasies.

What the people of South America need is not socialism, it is the market. They need good government, not thieves who hide behind the rhetoric of "social justice".

Long live the free people of South America.

...and Dick Cheney shall lead them

It has been awhile since I, your humble WordBearer, have extolled the virtues of Dick Cheney.

Now we revisit the exploits of this demigod.

After a disasterous 2006 election, President Bush will be impeached and removed from office. Dick Cheney will become President. In a related story all newspaper reporters will commit suicide.

Dick Cheney will win the 2008 Republican primary. Pundits will attribute it to his promises to lower taxes, fight crime, and to refrain from blocking out the sun.

Knife culture overtakes Britain

Kiyan Prince, a promising young athlete, was stabbed outside of his school in northwest London school Thursday.

Why do I care? Because he is the latest victim of the "knife culture" overtaking Britain. Supposedly in 2004, 60,000 young people in Britain admitted to carrying knives.

See this is what is going to happen when you ban guns. People will just turn to other forms of weapons.

To tell you the truth there was a knife culture among the boys when I was growing up. All the young men in my small Texas town carried knives. Never in school, but in your everyday life you carried a knife. Never knew when you were going to need one. There were no stabbings that I can recall. I don't see the problem being a "knife culture" but a culture that treats life as cheap.

Here is how to solve this problem: teach children a basic respect for life and others.

X-Men 3: Brokeback Mutant

Sir Ian McKellen, star of stage, screen, and Lord of the Rings, was pushing for a gay love scene between Magneto and Professor X in the upcoming X-Men 3.

Why? What in the fantastic story between the good and evil mutants would compel someone to think "Hey you know what would go good here? Hardcore dude-on-dude action."

Any true X-Men fan would see this as blasphemy.

McKellen has been on a roll this week. On Wednesday he claimed that they Bible "should have a disclaimer in the front saying this is fiction."

He said this while on the Today Show to promote the steaming pile of week old ape droppings that is the Da Vinci Code.

I always thought the Da Vinci Code was the one that let you see all the people in Mortal Kombat naked.

McKellen is not going to win the hearts and minds of middle America with talk like this. This is just another example of Hollywood being out of touch.

The Smug cloud continues to gather.

Baseball and the Odyssey

Clark C. Griffith II's piece on the nobility of the greatest game on the planet is worth a read.


Griffith really gets the nobility of the game. I have been saying things like this for years.

Lets face it...baseball is the game of civilization. You are asking a man to defend himself with a bat by knocking a lethal projectile away from himself, then expect him to drop the bat and go out into the field without protection into the waiting arms of 9 men who are dedicated to him not making it home.

That requires a civilized man.

I hate seeing kids these days playing soccer. It is the type of game they play in Commie countries. Plus soccer makes you gay. There I said it.

How did I miss this??

A man with a fake leg and a deaf guy fighting.

How come things like this only happen when I am not around?

Bet it was a melange of incomprehensible screams and shouts about legs being in the Emperor's Pagoda.

Misery, debris, pile up in New Orleans

So apparently things are back to normal.

I'm sorry but my compassion for the victims of Katrina is nonexistent. Let me explain. I grew up in Southeast Texas. Shortly after Katrina, Hurricane Rita devastated my hometown. The people there did not complain, but went back to their homes, cleaned up, and did not scream to the media about discrimination.

The area is racially mixed, and both black and white families returned to the Golden Triangle and went on with their lives. The contrast with New Orleans is astounding.

The Dims who controlled New Orleans, and all of Louisiana, created a culture of dependency, corruption, and entitlement that is clearly on display every time a Katrina victim or Mayor Nagin gets in front of a camera.

...and then they came for the burritos

I have not idea where Drudge got this photo, but it is hilarious.

I suspect that it is photoshopped.

All I can say is that if it is real, then this is the worst argument ever made for illegal immigrants. I, the adept gringo, can make my own burritos.

I related news, the commie president of Bolivia has sent the army out to seize the nations gas fields.

He also threatened to evict six foreign companies unless they sign contracts giving the government control of the energy sector.

Under the agreement the companies will get to keep only 18% of the gas they produce, the rest going to the government oil concern.

Let me look into the future. First the companies will most likely leave. Therefore the state concern will not make the revenue it hoped, but will still become a piggy bank for Morales and his associates.

The people of Bolivia will still be as poor as they are now in ten years, maybe even poorer.

Once again socialism will destroy a nation.

Extra Extra Hell freezes over

Well Hell has frozen over. Send the devil some ice-skates and watch out for those flying pigs, the WordBearer has finally agreed with something George Clooney has said.

Clooney has called on the United States and other nations to intervene in Darfur.

I agree that the US should intervene. The only reason we are not is because the U.N. continues to drag its feet on the issue.

The government of Sudan is linked to Islamic extremist and the so called "conflict" (really nothing more than a pogrom against non-Muslims) has claimed as many as 200,000 lives and displaced over 2 million.

The nation of Sudan needs help badly. The average life expectancy is only 59 years and the infant mortality rate is high.

Darfur illustrates the ineptitude and worthlessness of the UN as an institution.

Personally I think we should close down the UN and execute those working for it, but I will accept a middle ground.

Nonetheless, the solution for Darfur can only come from outside the UN.

Infanticide still alive and well

A German women, known as Frau H, appeared in court yesterday to answer for the nine children she killed.

After giving birth she would allow the children to die, then stuffed them in flower pots. That is insane.

What is even more astounding is the fact that no one around her, even her husband, noticed.

The good part is that this has caused people to show up at the courthouse shouting "We mourn nine babies".

Even in these dark times, human life will be mourned.

Just couldn't resist...

(sorry I am weak)

Virginia has just enacted a new set of laws to keep tighter control over sexual predators.

Some of the measures include a mandatory 5 to 25 year sentence for the first offense and a possible life sentence for the second. It also allows the state to place the offender into a mental institution following the completion of their sentence.

I think this is good for the children of the state of Virginia. It is high time we stop being merciful toward those who prey on the weak.
