Angry White Man

This was emailed to me and I was asked to reply. My answer-I see where they are coming from. White Males are not the only ones getting angry at their money being carelessly given away. Like I always say-vote out the incumbents.

There is a great amount of interest in this year’s presidential elections, as everybody seems to recognize that our next president has to be a lot better than George Bush. The Democrats are riding high with two groundbreaking candidates – a woman and an African-American – while the conservative Republicans are in a quandary about their party’s nod to a quasi-liberal maverick, John McCain.

Each candidate is carefully pandering to a smorgasbord of special-interest groups, ranging from gay, lesbian and transgender people to children of illegal immigrants to working mothers to evangelical Christians.

There is one group no one has recognized, and it is the group that will decide the election: the Angry White Man. The Angry White Man comes from all economic backgrounds, from dirt-poor to filthy rich. He represents all geographic areas in America, from urban sophisticate to rural redneck, deep South to mountain West, left Coast to Eastern Seaboard.

His common traits are that he isn’t looking for anything from anyone – just the promise to be able to make his own way on a level playing field. In many cases, he is an independent businessman and employs several people. He pays more than his share of taxes and works hard.

The victimhood syndrome buzzwords – “disenfranchised,” “marginalized” and “voiceless” – don’t resonate with him. “Press ‘one’ for English” is a curse-word to him. He’s used to picking up the tab, whether it’s the company Christmas party, three sets of braces, three college educations or a beautiful wedding.

He believes the Constitution is to be interpreted literally, not as a “living document” open to the whims and vagaries of a panel of judges who have never worked an honest day in their lives.

The Angry White Man owns firearms, and he’s willing to pick up a gun to defend his home and his country. He is willing to lay down his life to defend the freedom and safety of others, and the thought of killing someone who needs killing really doesn’t bother him.

The Angry White Man is not a metrosexual, a homosexual or a victim. Nobody like him drowned in Hurricane Katrina – he got his people together and got the hell out, then went back in to rescue those too helpless and stupid to help themselves, often as a police officer, a National Guard soldier or a volunteer firefighter.

His last name and religion don’t matter. His background might be Italian, English, Polish, German, Slavic, Irish, or Russian, and he might have Cherokee, Mexican, or Puerto Rican mixed in, but he considers himself a white American.

Barack Obama’s Global Tax Proposal passed Senate Vote

I think Carl Marx and Obama would have been chums. As a rule I distrust all politicians and honestly think all three of the leading US candidates for President are incapable of running a country as complex as this one. The Office of The Presidency is not suited for on the job training. Claiming you have a plan without proof you are capable of performing it is just smoke and mirrors.

Lowering the American standard of living will not solve world poverty. It will not increase America’s image and it will be quickly sucked into the coffers of every despot on the planet. The poor will remain poor and despots will be enriched. Anyone who doesn’t understand this is not worthy of government office.

A nice-sounding bill called the “Global Poverty Act,” sponsored by Democratic presidential candidate and Senator Barack Obama, is up for a Senate vote on Thursday and could result in the imposition of a global tax on the United States. The bill, which has the support of many liberal religious groups, makes levels of U.S. foreign aid spending subservient to the dictates of the United Nations.
-It did pass.

Senator Joe Biden, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has not endorsed either Senator Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton in the presidential race. But on Thursday, February 14, he is trying to rush Obama’s “Global Poverty Act” (S.2433) through his committee. The legislation would commit the U.S. to spending 0.7 percent of gross national product on foreign aid, which amounts to a phenomenal 13-year total of $845 billion over and above what the U.S. already spends.

The bill, which is item number four on the committee’s business meeting agenda, passed the House by a voice vote last year because most members didn’t realize what was in it. Congressional sponsors have been careful not to calculate the amount of foreign aid spending that it would require. According to the website of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, no hearings have been held on the Obama bill in that body.

A release from the Obama Senate office about the bill declares, “In 2000, the U.S. joined more than 180 countries at the United Nations Millennium Summit and vowed to reduce global poverty by 2015. We are halfway towards this deadline, and it is time the United States makes it a priority of our foreign policy to meet this goal and help those who are struggling day to day.”
-Why not start with Americans-Ahole!

Muslims Attack Human rights complainant in her home

Pair used ruse to enter woman’s house. No surprises here we know how intolerant Muslims are especially to people who refuse to be silenced. A few mistakes were made, her identity and address where known. Apparently, no protection or security measures were in place. And she trusted minions.

Thankfully, she survived this and I hope she will become even a bigger voice against the evil called Islam.

Calgary police are investigating an assault on one of three women who recently launched a human rights complaint against a local Muslim leader.

Police are looking for two people who pushed their way into the Coral Spring Mews N.E. home of Robina Butt about 3 p.m. Wednesday.

Const. Paban Dhaliwal said a man and a woman knocked on the door of Butt’s home, and when questioned, identified themselves as members of the press.
-Knock on my door and Mohammed (my pit) will rip a hole through it to get at you. My surveillance system will alert authorities as to your impending demise. My cameras will show me attempting to revive you with large amounts of bacon (I heard it helps, I dunno but I’ll try and save you with it)

Beauty in a Cursed Land

By Phyllis Chesler

Afghan’s are a unique people. I met my first Afghan in the 80’s. They are just as backwards now as then and depending on what side they are on-extremely loyal or extremely intolerant and resistant to change. Take a look inside Afghanistan.

Land of the High Flags: Afghanistan When the Going Was Good, by Rosanne Klass (Odyssey, 358 pp., $19.95)

The history of Afghanistan, once known as the “crossroads of the world,” is riven with brutal invasions and world abandonment. Barbarism, slavery, ruthlessness, and disease existed side by side with the country’s enormous physical beauty and the elaborate, formalized hospitality of its people. Conquerors razed Afghanistan’s extraordinary ancient cities and exquisite court palaces—Herat, Ghazni, and Balkh. Genghis Khan, and later Tamerlane, slaughtered significant portions of the Afghan population and returned to the country to conduct raids on the survivors, leaving precious little in the way of art or architecture. Alexander the Great also conquered Afghanistan on his way to India, though his soldiers tended to leave behind descendants rather than smoldering ruins.

Most Afghan kings were brutal to their own people, who were, after all, a permanently armed male population, always ready to fight for village, tribe, or warlord against central governments, including those of native kings and would-be conquerors. Even the Victorian-era British learned that Afghanistan could not be tamed; so, too, did the Soviet Union. America’s intervention in Afghanistan, though based not on colonialism or aggression but rather on justified political goals, has failed in its own ways.

Yet despite the continued dangers of terrorism and political chaos, the land continues to attract Western traders, travelers, teachers, and do-gooders, with its real and imagined nobility, its charming hospitality, and its wondrous geographical beauty. It has also attracted its share of writers. Rudyard Kipling conveys the indigenous nature of Afghan barbarism (along with the indigenous foolishness of Westerners in search of gold and glory) in his story “The Man Who Would Be King.” In 2002, an intrepid Scotsman, Rory Stewart, published an account of his extraordinary walking trip through Afghanistan, “The Places in Between.” The next year saw the appearance of Norwegian author Asne Seierstad’s “The Bookseller of Kabul,” which describes her life with an Afghan family after the fall of the Taliban. And in 2007, Deborah Rodriguez published “Kabul Beauty School: An American Woman Goes Behind the Veil,” her memoir of teaching Afghan women the art of hairdressing.

Now comes a reissued edition of an extraordinary gem of a book: Rosanne Klass’s “Land of the High Flags: Afghanistan When the Going Was Good.” Klass first published the book in 1964, and she has added a new afterword. Hers is a world-class travel memoir that conjures all of the heart-stopping beauty that called out to me when I first traveled to Afghanistan in the early 1960s. Klass went there with her American husband in the 1950s to teach English in a school for men and boys from remote villages. It was the first school of its kind, and Klass was the first woman to teach male students in the country. As an “uncovered” woman—that is, one not wearing a burka—she handled the men’s inevitable fear and hostility with patience and grace. Ultimately, she befriended both her students and the recalcitrant mullahs who also taught at the school.

Six Muslims Murders Killed at Least 40 Hurt in Gaza Explosion at Home of Senior Jihad Activist,

Sounds like one of the minions confused the red wire with the blue one.

February 15, 2008, (AP)
AZA CITY, Gaza Strip — A blast went off in the house of a senior Islamic Jihad activist Friday, killing at least six people and wounding 40, medics and Hamas police said.
-Good help is hard to find and you get what you pay for. This could have been a better day but they had to fool around and make an unstable device. Good riddance.

Islamic Jihad said Israel targeted the house of Ayman Atallah Fayed in an airstrike, but Hamas police said the cause of the blast was not clear. Israel routinely targets top militants in airstrikes, but the Israeli military had no immediate comment.

Fayed is a senior member of the Islamic Jihad military wing, and it was not clear whether he was among the dead.

The blast went off Friday evening in Fayed’s house in the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza. The explosion badly damaged Fayed’s home and a nearby metal workshop.

Health Ministry official Moawiya Hassanain said at least three men and a woman were killed. He said 40 people were wounded, including nine who were in critical condition.
