Imbecile President and His Administration Sell Administrative Duties of Major U.S. Ports to United Arab Emirates

The Bush Administration has decided to sell the management aspects of Major U.S. ports in Philadelphia, New York, New Jersey, Baltimore, New Orleans and Miami to the United Arab Emirates. This sale would, among other things, give workers, who are managed by executives from the UAE, access to ships as they are being loaded and unloaded in our ports. If this does not immediately ring alarm bells signaling dire idiocy you should note that the Arab Emirates:

• is one of three countries in the world that acknowledged the Taliban as the rightful regime in Afghanistan
• was a primary transfer point of smuggled nuclear materials to Iran, North Korea and Libya
• acted as an operational and finacial base for some of the terrorists and hijackers of September 11

I can not fathom the bounds of stupidity this country is forced to endure under this foolish man. The only reason this asshole was reelected was that the stupid masses were duped into believing he would prevent successful terrorist attacks; then he and his fools pull off yet another ignorant and idiotic decision.

Senators Robert Menendez (D-NJ) and Hillary Clinton (D-NY) plan to propose a law to ban foreign ownership of U.S. port operations.

It is Time to Deny Muslim Apologetics and Cast Aside Political Correctness

Muslims are truly becoming more trouble than they are worth. Too many of them are murderous, and for the safety of western citizens a moratorium should be placed on immigration and tourism from Islamic countries. Apologists will inevitably say that Muslims have the right to travel and emigrate freely. These imagined freedoms pale in comparison to the very real right of citizens to not dread public transportation, public gatherings, etc.

The myth is that Islam is a peaceul religion. What I see is a large minority of Muslims that are monsters and murderers, and the so-called moderate majority spend more time arguing with us for the well deserved fear and loathing we have towards Islam, than in trying to stop those that have supposedly hijacked their religion of peace. I see absolutely no evidence of that Islam is a peaceful religion, and I am certainly not one to accept things on faith. Especially when my life is on the line.

If Muslims want respect instead of scorn, they must stand up and protest the murders and the acts of terrorism, and do so loudly. If Muslims gathered in huge numbers, comparable to those riotting through out Europe and the Middle East, and called for peace and sanity, then perhaps they will deserve respect (there is now some Muslim action to end the riots. This is too little and far too late). Until then, as a matter of self-preservation we should not feel obligated to consider Muslim sentiments. We should be weary of Muslims. There is no need to force ourselves to feel comfortable around them or to even accept them. Political correctness is demanding that we ignore a legitimate threat, and that is utterly foolish. It seems that many Muslims and other apologists expect westerners to disregard the fear for our own lives and that of our loved ones, so that a bunch of lunatics and fanatics can express their cultural tendencies, many of which involve killing the very westerners that are expected to be tolerant.

It has been told to me, directly, that westerners are scapegoating Muslims. Stating this implies that Muslims and Islam are guiltless. This is not pre-Holocaust Germany, and rioting Muslims and terrorist are not European Jews. The real scapegoats are westerners, not Muslims. Middle Easterners see us as the root of all the world's evils, completely disregarding the fundamental flaws in their religion and culture. Many Muslims even expect us to accept the blame for all their misery. It is these very sentiments that motivate many Muslims to murder our citizens. It is these men that have decided to make life a battle between us and them, and they are fully willing and often eager to inflict the wrath of Allah onto innocent bystanders. Under these Muslim established circumstances, their is no real argument for abiding Muslim apologetics.

U.S. Government Backs Islamic Rioters, Freedom of Expression Exists Only Conditionally

In an attempt to distance America from the assumed source of Muslim anger in Europe and the Middle East, the State Department released statements that seem to side with the fundamentalist rioters.

"These cartoons are indeed offensive to the belief of Muslims," State Department spokesman Kurtis Cooper said in answer to a question.

"We all fully recognize and respect freedom of the press and expression, but it must be coupled with press responsibility. Inciting religious or ethnic hatreds in this manner is not acceptable."

Cooper said he had no comment as to why the United States chose to pass judgment in a dispute that ostensibly does not involve America. (Reuters)

The press responsibility Cooper speaks of is clearly the same responsibilty that prohibits the publishing of photographs revealing the caskets of fallen American soldiers. Or perhaps the press responsibility Cooper is demanding, relates to having American soldiers clandestinely publishing pro-American propaganda in Iraqi newspapers or the Bush Administration paying news contributors to praise the No Child Left Behind Act. They have some great balls telling others how they should handle their media.

The American government does not speak for all Americans. They ignore the obvious, underlying tensions that are not one sided, and not felt only by Muslims.

Danish Cartoons Bring to Light the Reality of World Wide Islamic Madness

Muslims through out the world are rioting today over Danish cartoons depicting their "prophet" with a time bomb above his head. Rioters have stormed the Danish embassy in Indonesia, taken to the streets in droves in Gaza & gathered en masse in England to call for the death of all who insult their prophet (Thanks to Daniel360 for this link).

I understand the anger, however all these mad Muslims are achieving is an escalation of the underlying sentiments westerners have towards Muslims. The cartoon in question (and several others) stem from a fear and loathing of Muslims. Apologist demands aside, these feelings are warranted. Islamic Fundamentalists use their outdated beliefs as excuses to murder wantonly. England, America , Spain and Russia have all felt the wrath of fanatical Islam. Westerners must now fear for their lives daily, and if the worst we will do is illustrate our resentment, then it seems these Danish artists are fully justified.

The actions of these rioters also bring attention to the myth of moderate Islam. For years Muslims have been tacitly complicit in terrorism by demanding that we stop dreading Muslims, while, rarely acting against the actions that inspire this dread. Now, however, we see British citizens, who we can assume are "moderates", calling for mass death over words and drawings. I wonder how they define moderation.

Islam is a greater hazard to us than even Christianity. Christian fundamentalists threaten to rob us of our freedom and our knowledge. Fundamental Islamists threaten to murder us and our loved ones.

State of the Union Address

I don't know why anyone would believe the words that spew from our great Ceasar's mouth, though I am certain many doting and gullible citizens ate it up with a big red spoon.

Of particular interest to me was his tirade on the evils of scientific research. Though he did not directly mention it, his allusions to stemcell research were palpable. His comments on America's oil addiction, oozed hypocracy and his assertions that this dependancy would be reduced under his administration, were laughable. Lastly, the tone he used to demand that his god bless America sounded, to me, like a battle cry for dominionists and a fervent "Fuck Off" to secularists through out America.

"Our" Government Continues to Trample Our Rights and Now Yahoo, MSN and AOL are Complicit in Privacy Violations

The "Justice" Department has subpoenaed Google, Yahoo, MSN and AOL, demanding all search query records in a specific week in the summer of '05. Ostensibly, this is to perform research on how easy it is for children to find porn. They claim that these privacy violations are needed, in order to protect children from internet pornography. Unfortunately, as is the tendency of much of the modern American public, people are misunderstanding the situation as a needed concession in order to protect children from being IN pornography.

"Red" America's penchant for misinterpretation aside (generalization), "Big Brother" works with great ease when the dumb masses express such gullibility and "faith" in our mighty dictator and his goons. In this climate, where the government is implementing illegal wire taps, rigging elections, and anything else it pleases, It is beyond comprehension how people can still believe that the government chose now to demand these records for the reasons they've stated.

This is the latest offense stacked on top of a large litany of privacy violations, reduction of personal rights, etc., that has been put into place by the US government in the last 5 years. It is frightening to witness the governments audacity as well as the complacency of American's when the very "freedom" they tout religiously, are being taken away, with out reason and with minimal resistance.

The Department of "Justice" has, likely, initiated the beginning of the decline of our free expression on the internet. Google appreciates its customer base enough to uphold our privacy rights and continues to fight against this decline. Meanwhile, Yahoo, as well as, MSN & AOL capitulated instantly (Clear Channel anyone?) As a result, these products are now worthless.

Complacent and complicit in tyranny, at "home" and abroad, The new Yahoo way.
