If Al Qaeda called Bryan to jihad, he’d have to kill himself. Why take chances, right?

No more Muslims in the military: Al Qaeda says so
By Bryan Fischer

. . [Adam] Gadahn converted to Islam at a mosque in Orange County, of all places, which once again raises questions about the wisdom of allowing Muslims to immigrate to the United States. Are we importing the seeds of our own destruction and then growing them to evil maturity on our own soil?

Unless and until we can find some way to guarantee that Muslim immigrants will never, ever under any circumstances take their religion, their god, their prophet, and their Holy Book seriously, perhaps it’s best for our national security interests to encourage them to keep living right where they are.

In the sense of, what? Jews are uncomfortable with an angry Muslim population? What a surprising “disaster”.

Israeli ambassador Michael Oren gets shouted down at UC Irvine:

“Well, this one will get your blood going. The ultimate responsibility for this resides with the university which has done nothing to curb this already known problem.”

The problem of interrupting speechifying you don’t agree with? That problem’s been around for thousands of years. I don’t agree with the Muslim Student Union’s tactics, but I certainly understand the anger. I’d rather have heard them go after this guy in the Q and A.

“UC Irvine has been a disaster area for Jews and a seething pot of jihadism for a long time. Students should have been expelled and the Muslim Student Union de-certified (or the equivalent) long ago.“

This isn’t “jihadism”, idiot. And de-certifying the MSU won’t make them, or the yelling, disappear.

“What you see in the video is not free speech, but the signs of a growing minority who seek to drag us down to the level of the typical Middle Eastern third world hell-holes they so admire.”

Yes, you’re so much better than them. Who is this asshole?

Solomonia (”Solomon” with an “ia” at the end) is the web log of Martin ‘Solomon.’

His last name in quotes?

Thank you very much Sadly, No! Until someone tells me all these interesting wingnut bloggers are a terrific hoax, the apparent comedy continues.

Meet Cynthia Yockey, who writes the ‘A conservative lesbian’ blog. Cynthia gets special kudos not for being strange and nasty, which is commonplace, but for proudly posting an image of herself with her bassoon on the ‘About me’ page of her blog.

She recently got a link from Instapundit for claiming that the President was a kind of bad man, even though it’s clear she doesn’t know what it means:

One of the most important things to understand about Obama is that he is a sociopath, in the clinical sense.

Since the ‘clinical’ sense would be definitive, non-Psychiatrist Cynthia actually means ‘in the non-clinical sense.’ Or, ‘in the blogging sense’, or ‘how can I make this sound smart?’

People have caught on to his narcissism, but they do not understand his sociopathy. In a nutshell, he lives to control people, assert power and make people jump. All of the promises he makes are intended to get people to hand over their power and money to him voluntarily. However, the only promises he intends to keep are the ones that will result in him getting more power and ability to make people jump.

That’s a lot of power and jumping. And does anybody believe that Obama is money-hungry? An American presidency is a pretty random strategy to become a billionaire.

I think he is destroying America as a capitalistic, meritocratic and democratic republic ON PURPOSE because he loves and craves power (this is his sociopathy) and he is shamed by the achievements of genuinely talented people (this is his narcissism).

I don’t recall Obama’s ’shame’. Projection, Cynthia? Or maybe blogging just comes naturally to second bassoons from the community orchestra. Anyways, that’s mostly an old post, let’s try a new one:

Obama does not play games he hasn’t rigged. The base he will never betray — the anti-gay black religious Left, Muslims and illegal aliens — is comprised of groups that are nation-building: morality is just their cover story for destroying people who are not on board with making babies for them.

Yay! The baby-cranking nation-building anti-gay black religious left, Muslims and illegal aliens. There go a cohesive bunch. Can’t swing a dead cat around without knocking over a huddle of back-slapping BCNBAGBRLMIAs. There they go, forming human pyramids on the lawn again — shoo! Go on, go home!

Don’t you just love it when Democrats go on Fox News in order to impress them with their spunky independence, intelligence and charm?

No? Me neither.

What a fucking clown.

Raw Story repeats that he may have misspoken: ‘Joshua Holland at AlertNet gives Koch “the benefit of the doubt” and assumes Koch meant to say “hundreds of thousands” of Muslim terrorists. Even so, Holland argues, that suggests Muslim terrorists aren’t doing their job very well.’

I’m not buying it yet. He seems absolutely emphatic with that number, which is in keeping with his pale ‘vast majority’ assessment. Even if he meant hundreds of thousands, it’s still shockingly idiotic, just a thousand-fold less so.

Most Americans know a little about the big acts of the Christian right wing culture war like James Dobson and  D. James Kennedy (now doing his act as a zombie), but, unless you’re a (usually Southern) mega-churchgoer, you may not be familiar with the latest generation of traveling right wing fundagelical up-and-comers working these cloistered mini-towns like 80’s hair bands on the casino circuit — complete with CDs and souvenir tee shirts.

While normal people generally got sick of the  paranoid ignorance that propelled Cold War era preachers like Billy James Hargis to McCarthyite riches and infamy, the obedient fundamentalists had too few sin free pleasures to give up indulging their hysterical fear of demons and their pathetic narcissism that God Himself took care to arrange that this American generation has a part to play in Earth’s final act.   Televangelist patriots like John Hagee and Jack Van Impe still feed the starving and suspicious minds of their marks flock with the same old One World conspiracy theories and urgent prophecies to sell their End Time rantings, but, where the anti-communists of the 50’s and 60’s beseeched faithful patriots to save America by fending off the catastrophic return of Jesus and the curse of World Government through the accomplishment of small idiotic goals like keeping the US off the metric system, the 21st century fundamentalists are ready to get this Doomsday show on the road.  Now they’re preaching large idiotic and inhuman ideas like war with Iran, Russia, and pretty much everyone east of Jerusalem

Some, like Perry Stone, openly equate  progressives to socialists (as if Big J had a problem with that) and condemn Muslim antipathy to Israeli Jews while preaching an anti-Islamic bigotry that denies any possibility there might be two sides to the story.

He may look like a washed up 70’s beatnik actor, but Stone claims to be both a doctor and a Bible scholar, relying on a handful of cherry-picked Old and New Testament verses to spread a message of fear, suspicion and American exceptionalism — tied by God to uncritical and unquestionable support for (militaristic, aggressive, right wing) Israel.   A lifelong 2nd (maybe 3rd) generation parasite preacher, there are more than a couple of passages  he never seems to get around to explaining.

But he doesn’t have to rely just on the Bible for God’s word — from time to time he has dreams and visions, giving him insights to Jesus’ desires beyond the reach of those less in touch with how Jesus thinks.

Don’t believe me? Read the quotes below and tell me, without the topical references, could you tell whether Jesus or Dr. Stoney said it?

~A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.~

The Obama administration said we should not “Jump to conclusions,” and that we must not “Judge others by this man’s beliefs.” Really? It was this type of radical thinking that blew up two embassies in Africa …

~And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.~

Now, the generals on the ground are saying we need more troops in Afghanistan to win the resurgence that is occurring. Each day it seems more troops are dying and the president waits, and waits, and refuses to act.

~And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.~

The reason is that his liberal base wants us out of Afghanistan and Iraq and this may upset his voting block.

~But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,~

Certainly we are neither at war with Muslims at large nor any religion, but to say that we will never be at war implies that Obama will be passive and submit to whatever comes his way in the name of Islam.

~And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.~

While Iran builds a nuclear bomb, the administration sits back and says, “Let’s give them time to see what plays out.”

~And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.~

The whole episode reminds me of Former President Jimmy Carter, who sat by for 444 days while hostages were held in Iran, and allowed the interest rates to rise at 19%, and sent the economy in a tail spin …

~Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?~

Spoiler!

*sigh*

I really wish they’d get past the formality of pretending to be cool-headed and sober and get to settling in with wild-eyed hysteria. These ‘intellectuals’ are annoying.

Fort Hood: Let’s Drop the Political Correctness
By David Warren

For a person with old-fashioned values, and an old-fashioned sense of English word meanings, the reports of the Fort Hood massacre were almost as provoking as what happened there.

With Warren’s surprising post-modern sense of Aramaic word meanings, if he’d been reading those reports of the massacre, we would have been deprived of this post. Lucky us. Here’s an English word that’s old enough: provocative.

In the larger view of things, they may be more consequential.

Let me make that latter point plain. I am saying the words and attitudes conveyed in the reporting of a massacre can be, and in this case are, more consequential than the massacre itself.

Well, this is some sort of job security ploy, isn’t it? ‘Sure, a massacre is bad, but the words on the internet that follow it are what’s really dangerous. And I should know because I read, write and criticize words on the internet.’ Warren’s an idiot. You can ‘report’ whatever you like about me, but please don’t shoot me in the face and kill me. Given what a bullet ripping through my grey matter will do to my life, bloggers and their attitudes are pretty inconsequential.

Having said that, I must not leave the impression I think little of the loss of a dozen human beings, the perhaps permanent maiming of many more, and all the consequences of this horror in the lives of their families and friends. But we must not shed crocodile tears. My heart goes out to the victims, but from a great distance: I know none of them personally, I know no one who knows them.

Given that he claims to have an essential and classic grasp of the English language, you’d think he would know the origin of ‘crocodile tears’. The phrase came from witnessing crocs appear to cry as they ate their victims. So it’s a false expression of sadness by the perpetrator. Either Warren thinks that ‘we’ shot everybody or he’s not as smart as he’d like to pretend. No matter your relationship to the language, you’re not seeing any universal insincerity of sadness over the massacre, so I have no idea what he’s getting at.

…We should not allow ourselves to be moved by the cold hearts of professional tear-jerkers because when we reward that kind of thing we help perpetuate an emotional order that is dangerously false. We should instead be annoyed by attempts to manipulate us.

Falsehood has more consequences than the revelation of personal insincerity.

Err, wha? What does that even mean? If I said ‘I really think David Warren wrote a great post,’ wouldn’t that be both a falsehood and personally insincere? And what does the ‘revelation’ of insincerity have to do with anything? The distinctions are…what? The greater danger is…?

What happened at Fort Hood was no kind of “tragedy.” It was a criminal act, of the terrorist sort, performed by a man acting upon known Islamist motives.

Okay, boing, we’re done. Warren is just foisting spastic rhetoric. He’s an alien to his precious English and to rational thought, so he’s not adding anything to the discussion other than digital epilepsy. To him, 9/11 was also ‘a criminal act, of the terrorist sort, performed by [men] acting upon known Islamist motives‘, and therefore ‘no kind of “tragedy.”‘

Nidal Malik Hasan

The guy who posted this, Tunku Varadarajan, obviously thinks he’s pretty sharp for dispensing with the annoying political correctness and calling the Ft. Hood massacre for what it is. We’ve gotten unfortunately used to events where a worker ‘goes postal’, so maybe it’s time we started calling these Muslim killings ‘going Muslim.’ Except for the fact that nothing like it has ever happened before, duh.

‘Going Muslim‘
Tunku Varadarajan, 11.09.09, 12:00 AM EST

America after Fort Hood.

“Going postal” is a piquant American phrase that describes the phenomenon of violent rage in which a worker–archetypically a postal worker–”snaps” and guns down his colleagues.

As the enormity of the actions of Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan sinks in, we must ask whether we are confronting a new phenomenon of violent rage, one we might dub–disconcertingly–”Going Muslim.” This phrase would describe the turn of events where a seemingly integrated Muslim-American–a friendly donut vendor in New York, say, or an officer in the U.S. Army at Fort Hood–discards his apparent integration into American society and elects to vindicate his religion in an act of messianic violence against his fellow Americans. This would appear to be what happened in the case of Maj. Hasan.

The stupidity and laziness apparent here are obvious, but I’ll point it out anyway. There’s no reason to assign a familiar name to a ‘phenomenon’ when it’s an unprecedented event. If a little green man broke into your house and shot your dog, would you call it ‘going alien’? If he came down the chimney, would you call it ‘going Santa’?

And there’s an obvious taint of ‘Muslims are dirty foreigners’ here throughout Varadarajan’s post. When an over-wrought worker ‘goes postal’, he’s apparently not a ’seemingly integrated’ guy who ‘discards his apparent integration into American society’. That’s just what happens when Muslims do it.

Note to Tunku: Hasan was born in Arlington, Virginia.

The difference between “going postal,” in the conventional sense, and “going Muslim,” in the sense that I suggest, is that there would not necessarily be a psychological “snapping” point in the case of the imminently violent Muslim; instead, there could be a calculated discarding of camouflage–the camouflage of integration–in an act of revelatory catharsis. In spite of suggestions by some who know him that he had a history of “harassment” as a Muslim in the army, Maj. Hasan did not “snap” in the “postal” manner. He gave away his possessions on the morning of his day of murder. He even gave away–to a neighbor–a packet of frozen broccoli that he did not wish to see go to waste, even as he mapped in his mind the laying waste of lives at Fort Hood. His was a meticulous, even punctilious “departure.”

So not only was he a dirty foreigner, he was a sneaky dirty foreigner.

It’d be more accurate to say that a thinly veiled internet slur upon American Muslims is ‘going Varadarajan’, don’t you think? Incidentally, any of you seen what this guy looks like?

That’s one filthy-looking beard. And who the hell spells their name with two Us and five As? Somebody at Forbes should take a loooooong look at this guy.

DOJ issues statement “to protect American Muslims;” silent on protecting Americans from jihadists
By Michelle Malkin • June 5, 2009 11:14 AM

You will be fascinated — among other reactions — by the latest statement issued by the Obama DOJ, issued yesterday after the president’s Cairo speech.

Well that sounds ominous. In the ‘thundering crazy train’ sense.

No, it’s not a statement condemning the jihadist in Arkansas who targeted our troops or the Bronx jihadi plotters who targeted Jews, infidels, and our troops.

Well, now I’m angry-fied. Gimme a 6-pound cracked adobe batshit locomotive ticket, paid for with ‘Totally Bananastm‘ Brand red bananas. Now with angry nuts. Terrific as race bait. Where are we going?

It’s a statement “to protect American Muslims.”

NO WAY HOLY WOAH KATIE BAR THE MOORS!

Statement of Attorney General Eric Holder on Department of Justice’s Outreach and Enforcement Efforts to Protect American Muslims:

Thursday, June 4, 2009

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder released the following statement relating to President Obama’s historic speech today in Cairo, Egypt:

“The President’s pledge for a new beginning between the United States and the Muslim community takes root here in the Justice Department where we are committed to using criminal and civil rights laws to protect Muslim Americans. A top priority of this Justice Department is a return to robust civil rights enforcement and outreach in defending religious freedoms and other fundamental rights of all of our fellow citizens in the workplace, in the housing market, in our schools and in the voting booth.

“There are those who will continue to want to divide by fear – to pit our national security against our civil liberties – but that is a false choice. We have a solemn responsibility to protect our people while we also protect our principles.”

*sigh* First, Michelle, that rickety Bronx ‘terrorist group’ was tracked and caught. Not sure what else you’d want the government to do, unless scaring you with DOJ ‘messages’ is what you’re really looking for. Second, as I just wrote about, the Little Rock ‘jihadist’ attack, as horrific as it was, was an historically unprecedented thing. Third, the message was clearly meant to dovetail with Obama’s Middle East trip which reaches out to all the peoples there. That’d be a lot of Muslims, many with family here in the U.S.. Fourth, it is in the habit of the DOJ to issue statements to broadcast their work defending minority and targeted groups. Military Folks and Angry Lunatic Conservatives, though you’ve been screaming otherwise, are not those people.

The American soil ‘jihadists’ have killed a grand total of one people since 9/11, and, to a couple hundred million non-Muslims (!), you want the DOJ to issue a message reaffirming their commitment to ‘protecting’ them?

Dear foot-stomping center of the entire universe: Go To Hell.
