When a MSA student is asked if they support the idea of all jews gathering to Israel so they don’t have to “hunt them down globally” the student replies “for”.
Is there any doubt that some people here in this country are supporters of terrorists?

Answer: You damn bethca they are! It has begun that “PC” or political correctness is now a death thro for Constitutional Americans. No longer are we going to sit back and be drug through the mud or made to feel guilty about something that is right and is the law.
It appears that Al Sharptounge and Jesse Jackass are fighting a “new” civil rights movement for…..NON U.S. citizens. The Arizona law to stop suspected illegals and ask for documents is being characterized as terrorism. Excuse me? San Francisco wants to break any contracts or ties with Arizona because of this law. Can you guess who is the most outspoken group againest it? That’s right-the illegals. Imagine that. Problem is, the only people listening are the liberals; who don’t want to lose what they believe to be a new voting base, and those individuals who already hate our laws and want to just give “open arms” to the world….at the cost, of course, of the American citizen.
Now people are oh so worried about violating civil rights-which our current administration gives to the world citizens. Okay. I have a solution for that. I believe that a set amount of police should set-up un-announced vehicle checkpoints every day in different areas of Arizona until further notice. Now they can check for valid liscense, stickers and green cards. This is prudent especially when the illegals usually drive around with a full car. That will decrease the number thru deportation drastically and then they can move on to hospitals and government services. Crime would abate; money would be saved thru services and English may come back as the primary language. Then when the protests ramp up, check those in the crowd yelling for their rights, for THEIR I.D.’s!
I can have loads of fun with this because it is long overdue. I don’t give a crap about WHY illegals are here and the sob stories of their plight in their own countries. Do it right or get caught and deported. I’m just glad that Cooch didn’t come up with the idea first on this one. Not that I don’t want or expect him to jump on this bandwagon. I just hope that the radicals that protest with the illegals forget THEIR I.D.’s. Then they can be deported also. You can never have enough free space in America for American citizens!
You may not agree with me but, heh, it’s a free country. All I can say is “kiss my ass and go back where you came from”. Amnesty is not an option here. “it’s my money and I want it now!”
Not officially, of course. That would be too crude. No, the TSA is going to start swabbing travellers’ hands for explosives. Will these swabbings be able to detect gunpowder residue? Will merely washing one’s hands after a session at the range be sufficient to remove that residue? What of those of us who reload?
Many years of living safely under the Bush anti-terrorism umbrella gave many the impression that anti-American terrorism had gone away. Many knew this was fallacious, as was the belief that the new U.S. president, being universally loved, would bring peace and harmony to the world.
Now, after the terrorist attack at Ft. Hood, and the failed attempt on the inbound flight to Detroit, it would appear that terrorism has returned to U.S. soil. Are they back ? Actually no, they never left. Many were in a position to receive the wake up call, particularly with regard to Northwest Flight 253 :
A young man checks in at the airport in Nigeria with a ticket to America bought with cash, and only carry-on luggage. More than a month before, his father, a wealthy banker, has visited the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria, worried that his son has gone missing and may be hanging around with Yemeni-based extremists. The National Security Agency has picked up intelligence that Al Qaeda in Yemen is planning to use an unnamed Nigerian for a terror attack on the United States. The man has been denied a visa to enter Britain, but he has a valid multiple-entry visa for the United States.
No flags popped up on anyone’s computer screen, a terrorism threat has now been missed, and is left to unfold when Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab boards flight 253. Thankfully, even though administration officials were asleep at the switch, passengers on this flight were able to do what U.S. officials could not do, prevent the deadliest terrorist attack within our borders since 9/11. The initial response from the Obama administration was to declare “the system worked”.
Next we hear from the administration that there “is no smoking gun here”, even though this event may have been foretold to the Obama administration :
John Brennan, the president’s chief counterterrorism adviser, received an alarming briefing at the White House from Muhammad bin Nayef, Brennan’s Saudi counterpart. Nayef had just survived an assassination attempt by a Qaeda operative using a novel method: the operative had flown in from the Saudi-Yemeni border region with a bomb hidden in his underwear. The Saudi was concerned because he “didn’t think [U.S. officials] were paying enough attention” to the growing threat from Al Qaeda in Yemen, said a former U.S. intelligence official familiar with the briefing….Intelligence experts now strongly suspect that Nayef’s attacker and Abdulmutallab had the same bomb maker in Yemen.
It would appear, that with respect to national security, the Obama administration is unable to add one plus one and arrive at a sum of two. At Ft. Hood, Americans were not so lucky, on flight 253 they were.
President Obama, how many more “man-caused disasters” will there be on your watch ? Your track record leaves much to be desired.
One of the most interesting articles I’ve read recently on terrorism. What is obvious is that those that rule cannot deal with the obvious, but they can put in place rules that will do nothing to prevent bad things from happening. Preventing terror would be a lot easier if precautions were clear and logical. While there are some people that are terrorists that are not part of the Muslim world, and not all Muslims are terrorists, it seems that if you were interested in truly identifying terrorists with a limited amount of expense, then you would profile the most likely candidates and use those profiles for extra scrutiny, not make travel for all individuals more difficult and more restrictive.
The same is true for dealing with gun crimes. The idea that imposing gun restrictions will reduce violent crimes just doesn’t seem to make sense. Even in England, where guns are essentially outlawed, and have been for years now, violence has not decreased but increased. In places where gun control was loosened, there was not an increase in violence and crime, but a decrease. Yet the cry for more gun control, which will be ignored by criminals, is always raised when a high-profile crime occurs.
The real problem is that the sheep have no teeth. For some reason, people think that if the sheep have no teeth, they will be safe. It just isn’t true. With real sheep, the predators know that they will be able to take at least some of the sheep, but the sheep herd in order to make it harder to single one out (like fish in schools) and so that when one falls, the rest can get away. Not unlike the two men in the woods that see a bear and it starts to charge … one stops and quickly puts on running shoes, the other says: “That’s foolish … bears can out run you even if you wear running shoes.” The first replies: “I don’t have to outrun the bear, I only have to outrun you.” We are acting like sheep. Instead of running away and hoping we can outrun the bad guy we should get some teeth.
Instead of acting like sheep, we ought to act like men. First, by acknowledging that bad people are in the world. The world is not full of wonderful people that are just turned a little wrong. The world has truly evil people in it that might not accomplish as much evil as Hitler, are the moral equal to him. And second, we need to be able to defend ourselves. That means not relying on others to defend us, but being ready to drive off those that would attack. And it even means we should expect everyone to be able to defend themselves (with perhaps the exception of the elderly and infirm). If we were a nation of warriors, we would be expected to step into the gap when someone does evil and threatens the lives of the innocent around them. Terrorists can “win” only if we allow them to instill terror instead of resolve and determination to stop them.
When evil strikes, it does not do so in front of the police officer (as fine as he might be, he cannot be everywhere). When evil strikes, we might be there, and the only way to stop evil from winning is to have those that are there stop the evil.
Janet is worried about Muslims. In her bizarre world Muslims are the targets of White, Christian oppression here in our country. Muslims are also the targets of attack by returning veterans according to dear Janet.
It requires a level of unimaginable blind hate to level such broad, vile accusations at these two groups. The first is statistically the most peaceful in the country and the least likely to carry out an attack against anyone. The veterans, are statistically more likely than some other groups to be involved in a legal incident, however, when one considers their service they are worthy of praise, to target them as potential domestic terrorists is a national betrayal.
Christian killings of abortion doctors, a liberal bugaboo, numbers 6 incidents and 9 deaths. Muslim based violence, killing in the name of Allah, in this country alone the body count is 3000+. When taken in its totality across the globe, it runs into the tens of thousands. 909 in the month of October, 2009 alone — and counting! From the attack by a Muslim on a military recruiting station, to the Muslim trying to run students over at a college campus, to 9/11 — every reason is explored, “for why they hate us?“ The better question is what will it take to make them stop, aside from a mass national conversion to Islam. But dear Janet is worried. What are returning vets, gun owners, Christians and Republican going to do to the Muslims in America?
Janet Napolitano is part of the problem. The political correctness of the DHS and the ARMY is ridiculous. This PC mentality is what allowed Nidal Malik Hasan to remain in the Army even though he espoused violence against non-believers — and the army knew about it. Hasan was in contact with an Iman with known contacts to Al Quaeda. Why? Because the policy since Napolitano has been to announce worries over Christian conservatives with known links to the NRA? Of a rise in militias? After the killing of 13 of our soldiers at Ft. Hood, Janet announces her big worry:
Janet Napolitano says her agency is working with groups across the United States to try to deflect any backlash against American Muslims following Thursday’s rampage by Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan
The woman has got it backward. Following Janet’s lead, MSM is looking for any reason for the shootings other than that Hasan was a Muslim terrorist. Only 23% of the initial coverage mentioned that Hasan was Muslim and 93% of the reports failed to call this an act of terrorism, until Obama hinted it might be. So on top of the press willful blindness, it is still the president’s lap dog. Until the fourth estate, MSM wing, stops carrying water for the Democrat party the hyper-PC foolishness will continue and Americans will continue to die.
It is that time again for the EXPO gun show in Chantilly. Anything you have forgotten earlier in the year can get purchased now. Remember that Christmas is just around the corner and you can get that red-blooded American woman or man that “special” gift they have been asking for.

This is why we are in Afghanistan. Any questions?
Could someone call Speaker Pelosi and explain this to her and the other left wing nuts.
Sally posted this recently as a comment and I feel that it is too important to be overlooked. Thank you Sally for bringing this to our attention. This was Sally’s comment:
You all have probably seen this, but stepped up Homeland Security against right wing:
“WASHINGTON – A newly unclassified Department of Homeland Security report warns against the possibility of violence by unnamed “right-wing extremists” concerned about illegal immigration, increasing federal power, restrictions on firearms, abortion and the loss of U.S. sovereignty and singles out returning war veterans as particular threats….”
http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=94803
The first line is underlined and says “A newly unclassified Document….”. You only have to click on this site and read the report. Talk about catagorizing certain Americans into a “paranoid” group! This coming from a PARANOID government. And this is what the government thinks about you if you subscribe to just one of these ideas. Why can’t they be Left-Wing Extremists?
This is what Obama considers as “uniting us”? Talk about division. I wonder if this is how King George envisioned the colonials of America? Doesn’t say much for the intelligence of our military either. This read is a total abomination!
btw Read (imagine) what is going to happen to blogging and Gore’s internet because of your discourse towards the government.
During lobbying day in
Today on the Chris Plante show I was pleasently surprised to hear a call-in from our bulldog supervisor, Eugene DelGaudio. The shows’ segment was about illegal immigrants and the recent rash of murders in Maryland-specifically Montgomery County. It seems that the “Sanctuary City” is starting to come under fire for the dismissive attitude of the city fathers. I’m sure that Casa de Maryland is very proud of Montgomery being a model city and all. What Eugene had to say was this-he has been trying to get the BOS of Loudoun County to understand that illegal immigrants are definitely an issue and to take a stance on the problem. What our board has done is virtually nothing. Well, let me be fair. What our board has done is to continually STUDY the issue. If the sun is out and you look up in the sky, you will see that the sky is blue. It doesn’t get anymore obvious than that. We have been studying this problem forever but to no avail. It is not an issue as seen by what happened to the last group of candidates campaigning on this stance-illegal aliens are criminals.
The statistics are out and can be found everywhere on the internet about crimes by illegals, prison population of illegals, glut on social services by illegals, home loans and foreclosures by illegals. There are those people that just cannot comprehend how our economic woes can be tied to illegal immigration. These people work for less but when the jobs dry up and work can’t be obtained there are those that turn to criminal behavior to make their gains. And then there are those that just make their gains on criminal behavior.
This is where we are heading. After the wonderful progress by Prince William County and the Town of Herndon, it just doesn’t seem to be enough. The liberals are winning and the citizens of the U.S., Virginia and our illustrious Loudoun County are losing big-time! A sheriff’s office in Sterling is nice but I consider this to be more reactive than proactive. It just means that they will be able to respond to the crime scene quicker….as in after-the-fact. While your taxes continue to go up to offset the drain on county services and the influx of more students to our schools, people will just sit back and complain that we need more business to offset the homeowner taxes. No one really wants to look at or address the real issue at hand-except for one Eugene DelGaudio. I am thankful for at least that much.
BTW: I wonder if Chairman York ever got around to the suggestion of getting statistics and methods from our neighbors in Prince William County as he said he would? I guess he must be “studying” it.
I heard something on the radio today that reminded me of a post I wanted to write at the beginning of the year. It seems very appropriate now.
This is a water and oil issue-the two just don’t mix and I will explain why. We elect politicians to the Congress and Presidency. These people are then priviledged to receive classified information at just about all levels without ever going thru a background check, polygraph or being cleared which entails these procedures. Some of this information is “burn-your-eyes-out” classified yet they are allowed access. Why?
There are committees, sub-committees and Congress as a whole that are briefed on a regular basis with national security information so that “intelligent” responses and actions can be made. Sometimes it goes as far as briefing staffers first. Short history. A staffer is someone appointed by an elected official who is NOT accountable to the citizens of the
We have shown over the decades how secrets have been disseminated to the news media. That’s called a leak.
Here is the issue: Who are these people that are privy to classified information and can they be trusted?
Here is the solution: We, as the American people, amend the qualifications to include “being able to pass a polygraph test and security background check and obtaining a security clearance”. It takes as long as one and one half years sometimes to gain clearance. It would keep some people out of the government who should not be there IN THE FIRST PLACE! We know that the only secrets some congressional members can keep are those about themselves or others where prosecution and imprisonment would result. Security is everyone’s business and this would be considered a gaping hole in ours. I suggest we plug it.
Today Prince Williuam county wanted an audience with Congress to pervay the fact that Illegals=Rising costs and Crime. Well it seems that the Democratic majority was out to lunch on this one. They didn’t want to have a hearing because they didn’t want to hear testimony from the VICTIMS!!!! The victims that the Democrates wanted to hear about were the illegals not getting health care or being discriminated againest or not having adequate housing. These victims/relatives that were to give testimony was about illegal crimes. Murder, rapes and robbery-those crimes. The minority Republicans allowed a meeting of which these people/families were afforded the oppotunity to speak. At the head of the list was PW BOS Chairman Cory Stewart. It was gut wrenching at least.
It appears that PW county has managed to drive out their illegals on a regular basis and push them ever northward (Fairfax county which is Casa de Virginia with Gerry Connelly and good old Loudoun county where the 3 monkeys live-deaf, dumb and blind). Since the inception of the new standards/laws from PW, crime has decreased 40% with murders down over 50%. There has been a decline of 500 uninsured births in this same time period. People; we are talking a calender year here. That is significant.
Will anything come of this testimony to the GOP side of congress? Probably not now. Will other abutting counties get the hint and start innitiating these same rules/laws? Not until it is too late. Fairfax and Loudouns’ BOS are too ignorant to see the handwriting on the wall. They feel that the county problems come from criminal sources (news flash-illegals are criminal just by being here) but they just don’t see (or want to) the illegal community because it isn’t politically correct. I would make a wager right now that Fairfax and Loudoun counties go to Osama-bama this election. Loudoun’s school enrollment is up over 3,000 kids but our housing market is one of the worst and the vacancies could house about 1,800 people (or 10,000 illegals if we cram-pack) which seems to be why enrollment is up. This was also the year that we RAISED taxes on devalued homes-so we could send anyone to school whether they are here legal or not.
This election is inportant. McCain’t might possibly take on the illegals with Gov. Palin on the ticket. We might get serious about homeland security and want to know WHO is in our country. The Democrats will NEVER get a clue and that is why they are Democrats. We need to stop this insanity like having rallies for illegals on days of rememberance because of terrorist destruction. It is time now and always to listen to logic; listen to reason; listen to the people. The eletist empire must be destroyed and the common citizen must have rule again. GOD bless America.
We have all heard the statistic from Sheriff Simpson while on the campaign stump, that “1 in 20 gang members arrested are illegal residents”. This comment was made on October 13, 2007, at the candidates debate held in Leesburg. This statistic was recently quoted by the Honorable Stevens Miller at the July 22 Public Hearing. Mr. Miller seems sold on this, but I am not.
The Center for Immigration Studies has a very detailed report available which provides some detailed estimates and statistics on Northern Virginia gangs :
A significant portion of gang members in Virginia have violated our immigration laws.
Sizable illegal alien population facilitates gang settlement and recruitment in Virginia.
15-40% of caseload is estimated to be illegal or criminal aliens
If you do not have access to Powerpoint, you may view it in html via google.
After seeing this presentation, I had some serious reservations about this 1 in 20 number. Either Loudoun is very unique among our neighboring cities and counties, or this number is simply wrong.
In August of 2007, LCSO issued a press release which discussed the relationship between ICE and LCSO :
“Our continuing working partnership with ICE through the Northern Virginia Regional Gang Task Force has led to a decrease in violent gang-related crimes in Loudoun County,” said Simpson. “It has been very successful,” he added.
Is this saying on one hand, that a partnership with ICE is a worthwhile endeavor, while on the campaign trail, two months later, a statement is made that pursuing gang members in conjunction with ICE is a waste of resources ?
This same press release also states :
In August, an operation targeting Criminal Street gangs’ in Loudoun County netted 13 arrests. Members of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Loudoun Sheriff’s Gang Intelligence Unit worked together to locate subjects who were suspected of being actively involved in firearms and narcotics trafficking, money laundering and violent criminal activities. Four of those charged in the operation were held by federal authorities based on their immigration status.
“Our continuing working partnership with ICE through the Northern Virginia Regional Gang Task Force has led to a decrease in violent gang-related crimes in Loudoun County,” said Simpson. “It has been very successful,” he added. In the first six months of 2007 there were 10 violent gang-related cases in Loudoun. There were 37 the previous year.
For the 1 in 20 statistic to be true, with these four August arrests alone, we would need to have had a minimum of 80 gang members arrested in Loudoun at the time of the October debate. To verify this would require hard data from LCSO, as searches of the local newspapers do not show anything close to 80 gang member arrests. Those repeating this statistic, should either back it up with hard facts, or write it off as campaign rhetoric spoken during the heat of debate.
More recently, Sheriff Simpson was quoted in the Washington Post about the recent LCSO partnership with ICE :
Simpson called the partnership with ICE a “big tool for us,” especially in dealing with gangs operating in Loudoun.
“I know when we work with gang members, a lot of times we got through a number of different identifications and different names and different aliases and that type of thing before you get to actually who they are,” Simpson said. “And if you don’t have a way of getting into this system to find out if they have ever been arrested in California, you may never know that information.”
It is obvious Sheriff Simpson has distanced himself from the comments he made at the October debate. One would think Stevens Miller would focus less on those comments and more on what LCSO has done since then.
Our Sheriff’s office appears to have moved on toward making some real progress, but Mr. Miller appears to be stuck in October of 2007. Where do we want Loudoun to be, focused on the future, or with Mr. Miller, stuck in the past ?
I can’t prove it. I can speculate.
As I mentioned here, I’ve suspected it since Zawahiri started doing the al Qaeda videos.
Seriously, all his audio and video releases of the past few years have been vague “Death to the Infidels!” blabbering with no reference to anything current. Something tells me we’re getting Tupac remixes.
To my knowledge, the last time he made specific reference to a current event was after we waxed Zarqawi, and it doesn’t take psychic powers from allah to know that was coming.
What’s with the jet black beard?
Listen up, al Qaeda. I don’t believe you. I want proof of life. Give me a picture of the guy holding up today’s newspaper or something. Idiots.
