Taxes Upon Taxes Upon Taxes

What is with the retarded Leftinistra? And why do they want to tax the internet users? What is THAT all about, anyway?

Sign the Keep The Internet Untaxed petition!

Keep the Web Tax-Free

I support the efforts of Senator McConnell and others to pass S.156, the Permanent Internet Tax Freedom Act of 2007. Congress should encourage expanded Internet access, broadband deployment and the development of new technologies that will create jobs and economic growth. New taxes will stifle those goals. Therefore, I am joining this national movement to permanently block such a tax.

SCHIP Veto Override Debate...UPDATES(2)...REEEEEEEEEJECTED

The Leftinistra are being held to the fire in regards to House Rules and the idgit Stark from Leftifornia is angwy about it. Too damn bad!!

Anyway, Michelle and Captain Ed and Wake Up America are live blogging the event.

Captain Ed has the Stark Implosion Video up.

The Weekly Standard has a piece up.

Voting on the override now (12 minutes and counting remaining) and it looks like the override it will fall short by 15 votes. GWB needs 144 votes to sustain the veto. It is up to 119 now.

1211 and time is up...273 Yay, 156 Nay.

The veto stands.

Another anti-American assault defeated.

Catch the wave

let the whining begin
and the whiners soil themselves with stupidity
the Caliphate News Network whines in
the NYSlimes has a tizzy

[UPDATE!!#1] Swiped from Michelle Malkin for posterity. Rep Starks is a far left moonbat fruit loop brigade member. Check this out!

Like I said earlier today, the far Left fringe is the Democrat center.

Good God Almighty. No wonder the Leftinistra are so AFU!!! Soros has them by the short hairs.

Flopping Aces has a running update...

[UPDATE #2]...I wrote a letter to Fool Stark

My letter to the fool...

To: Congressman Pete Stark

Message Subject: Your immediate resignation.

I would call you "Sir" or "Honorable Congressman" but, you deserve neither.

I watched your pathetic and childish tirade yesterday on CSPAN2 and I find your actions and verbiage unbecoming to a representative of whale dung, let alone We The people.

Thank God above you do not represent me. However, you yammer as if you do.

I am one of those "get my head blown off" guys you insulted yesterday, as if you care.

I saw your verbiage at the Daily Socialist and anti-Americanist site at the KOSKids site also. Well done, fool.

If there rises a grassroots effort to remove you from office, I will join in the effort and hereby know this...we will be blogging you and now we will be following you very closely.

You, are an international embarrassment.

I am ashamed for my country because of the likes of you.

http://takeourcountryback-snooper.blogspot.com/2007/10/schip-veto-override-debate.html

You are not a representative. You ARE a mis-representative.

I hope you can sleep well at night and I do wonder what you tell the demons when they come.

If you care to write the fool, you can do so here:

Brownback Dropping Out

Let this be a lesson...the majority of Americans DEMAND that the United States enforce the on the books illegal immigration laws.

CBS News:

Republican Sam Brownback will drop out of the 2008 presidential campaign on Friday, people close to the Kansas senator said Thursday.

Trouble raising money was a main reason for his decision, said one person close to Brownback, who requested anonymity because the candidate had not yet announced his plans.

[...]

Besides money, Brownback's support for a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants hurt him in Iowa, an early-voting state that has struggled to provide education, medical care and other services as the number of immigrants has more than doubled since 1990.

[...]

If only McCain would get off that barrel...

Catch the wave...

Bob Cesca at the Soros Funded Huff and Puff Whines

Read the words of the poor slog as he whines about that Abyss of Obscurity he and his ilk are looking into:

Republican cowards who demand security at the expense of liberty/honor/law have facilitated the Bush executive branch with extraordinary power. Now we're trapped in the shadow of the White House's unprecedented strength, and there doesn't appear to be any conceivable way to stop these people. If Cheney wrangles the military hardware to attack Iran, the air strikes will commence with lightning zealotry. Bet on it. Congress can try to stop him, but they don't have the power any more. According to the Bush administration, Article II is Article II and the Commander in Chief rules.

[...]

Whiners always lose and losers are always whiners.

These pathetic anti-Americanists sure do know their key words and have the gift of gab but what they do NOT have is a positive influence on, well, no one.

The American People have awakened to the Hate America and Blame America First losers and are sick and tired of their hate mantras.

The article is pathetic because the substantiations of the lame claims are AWOL.

Republican cowards who demand security at the expense of liberty/honor/law have facilitated the Bush executive branch with extraordinary power.

Read that as follows: The Leftinistra, my fellow combatants in the attempt to rewrite the Constitution of the United States have failed in their endeavors and my panties are soiled. We know longer can claim that we represent the majority of Americans because of that damn Right Wing Awakening.

Now we're trapped in the shadow of the White House's unprecedented strength, and there doesn't appear to be any conceivable way to stop these people.

Read that as follows: We are losing because we are losers and don't have the numbers to support our claims and that Soros guy's billions isn't enough to make those Silent Majority types to go back to sleep, dammit. GWB, the dumbest and worse president ever has outsmarted us and outmaneuvered us at every turn. We cannot admit that we are losers because then everyone will know.

If Cheney wrangles the military hardware to attack Iran, the air strikes will commence with lightning zealotry.

Read that as follows: We are the true fear mongers and HATE the military because they stand in the way to let the poor terrorists, our friends, have their own way. They really are nice religious people and they have every right to be mad at us but the Republicans won't let them play.

Bet on it.

Read that as follows: WAH! (hic-hic) WAH (hic-hic) WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!

Congress can try to stop him, but they don't have the power any more.

Read that as follows: They lied to us! They played on our fears! They got elected under false pretenses and don't represent the "vast majority" as they said they did and now the world laughs at us and it cannot be our fault! It's that damn Military Industrial Complex (whatever in the hell that is) and, and, and, WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

According to the Bush administration, Article II is Article II and the Commander in Chief rules.

Read that as follows: The Constitution of the United States says something we don't like and we are powerless to change it any time soon. That damn NRA!

These whiners really do need to get a clue.

72-YEAR-OLD CONCERNED CITIZEN TAKES DOWN SUICIDE BOMBER

Why Is The United Nations Cooking The Books?

I was doing my usual "can't sleep so why not read, surf and study" gig and I ran across this post at Gateway Pundit. It is about what the Israelis hit in Syria of which, Syria ADMITTED, finally, what the Israelis said they hit...a nuclear facility of some sort. I posted two articles on the subject here and here.

Now, the record of such event has "vanished" from the records at the United Nations. And we, the United States, are to trust the United Nations (I still don't know what they are united about) with the Law of the Sea Treaty? Turn OUR homeland shores over to them? The "vanishers" of documents? Please. Spare us of the ignorance and "udder" stupidities of that!

ALAS! I digress. Here is what one will find at Gateway Pundit.

[...]

There were news reports today that Syria had admitted that Israel had bombed a nuclear facility last month in northern Syria.
YNET News reported:

[...]

This is where it gets interesting. To get the whole drift, go read the post. It seems as though, the documents clearly showed the "confirmation" and then the next set the clarity is well, gone.

[...]

Here is the original document from that meeting at the United Nations this morning:

Click to Enlarge
Here is the original text:

Moreover, Israel was the fourth largest exporter of weapons of mass destruction and a violator of other nations’ airspace, and it had taken action against nuclear facilities, including the 6 July attack in Syria. He vowed that whenever a right of reply was exercised, Syria would expose the underlying goals of the Zionist entity.

Now, take a look at the latest text of that same document:

Click to Enlarge
Here is the latest rewrite of United Nations record General Assembly GA/DIS/3345

Moreover, the entity that was the fourth largest exporter of lethal weapons in the world, that which violated the airspace of sovereign States and carried out military aggression against them, as had happened on 6 September against Syria, such an entity, with all those characteristics and more, had no right to go on lying without shame.

[...]

So, what's up with that? And, who is hiding what from whom and WHY?

Loon Dobbs of The Caliphate News Network

Just a short note to let the world know that I see the idgits from the Caliphate News Network, formerly the Communist News network, aka CNN, visit my blog 19 times today and they all went to this story here. Moron.

How's that Abyss of Obscurity looking Lou Dobbs? Or should that be Corn Cobs?

Loser.

New Spelling for "loser": Democratic Party Leadership

So, if you ever want to call someone a "loser" from now on, just call them a leader of the democratic party. That way, you are calling George Soros a loser as well, seeing that the phony patriot "owns" the democratic party and wants to rid the constitution of, well, itself. He hates the United States Constitution because he cannot get the American People to go along with his One World Socialist Agenda if 100+ million of us own and WILL use guns to ENSURE that George Soros and his ilk do NOT succeed.

I wonder how far the little billionaire would go to push the issue? He would more than likely piss himself and soil his undies.

Anyway, with the East Coast and West Coast successful Troll Trouncings, coupled with other news today, this was a GLORIOUS day for True American Patriots. Here is what I am yacking about.

Gateway Pundit:

BUSH GETS REAL WITH CONGRESS...
President Bush bashed the very unpopular "do nothing" democratic Congress on their horrible record today.

Obviously, Americans expect more from the "do-nothing" Democratic Congress besides sabotaging the troops in Iraq and bashing Four Star Generals when they come to visit.

[...] (go read the rest...OUTSTANDING! Short and sweet yet to the point.)

The Weekly Standard: (on the FISA quagmire...self-induced)

[...]

Perhaps most amusing of all, when forced to explain why they blocked a floor debate, Democrats said it was important to move swiftly to reauthorize the law. Never mind that it was they who insisted the law expire quickly; if this was really their view then they would schedule a vote to extend the measure as is--since the votes were clearly there for such a measure.

Now, after this abuse of process and national security, what does the left say when Republicans use the one procedural opportunity afforded them to force Democrats to cast a difficult vote?

'They're not playing fair.'

Read the breathless explanations on the left--from DailyKos, ThinkProgress, TalkingPointsMemo. They all say the same thing: Cantor's motion-to-recommit was unfair because it called for a vote on something already in the bill, and some Democrats would have looked bad if they voted against it. It was 'trickery.' If that's the best argument they can come up with, Soros's money is being wasted.

The Leftinistra are losers, plain and simple. When they don't get their way, they grab their ball and go home.

Morons.

Power Line:

House Democrats have been forced to pull their proposed legislation to change the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) because they couldn't round up enough support among Dems who need the votes of non-liberals to be re-elected. You probably recall that the Democratic leadership was embarrassed two months ago when these same non-leftist Dems joined with Republicans to pass a temporary FISA fix so that our intelligence agencies could monitor the overseas communications of terrorists without obtaining a warrant. Still unwilling to provide the administration with the FISA fix it needs to ensure the gathering of information vital to the national security, the Democratic leadership has been slapped down again by members of its own caucus.

[...]

Amazing. The Leftinistra are the leaders of the democratic party and, they are losers.

For GWB to be the dumbest and worse President over, he sure does Bush Slap the Leftinistra around quite a bit. What does THAT say for the idiots that walk into his traps?

Morons.

Code Pepto Dismal anti-Americanists Trounced in Berzerkely

From Move America Forward web site:

Huge, Huge Success in Berkeley!

Hundreds Turn Out to Support U.S. Troops in - yes - Berkeley, California!!!

Mark this day down folks. It was Wednesday, October 17, 2007 that hundreds of pro-troop supporters turned out for a giant pro-troop rally in Berkeley, CA (one of the most anti-military & anti-war cities in this nation). Not only did the size of the rally shock the San Francisco Bay Area news media, it surprised the anti-war activists at Code Pink who were outnumbered on their own turf!.

Move America Forward and other pro-troop organizations and leaders put on a pro-troop rally to counter the harassment of the U.S. Marine Recruiting Center by Code Pink in Berkeley.

For 3 weeks the U.S. Marine Recruiting Center has faced protests (including vandalism and defacing of their building) and taunts against the Marines that they were "traitors" and "liars" and "murderers" and guilty of "assassination."

[...]

Move America Forward will be posting more pictures from the Troll Trouncing in the next few days so check in!

The Moonbats of the anti-American Fruit Loop Brigades, financed by George Soros, were severely trounced. These idiots cannot comprehend that the men and women past and current that they are AGAINST are the VERY ones that make these idiots free to be retarded. If these ugly pukes did this over in Iran, they would be dead by dawn. George Soros should be ashamed of himself. Why did the moron come to this country, anyway?

Pipeline News has GREAT pics as well!

October 17, 2007 - Berkeley, CA - PipeLineNews.org - Sick and tired of Code Pink's constant harassment of the Marine recruiting center on Berkeley's Shattuck Avenue, today Move America Forward landed on the beaches and simply overwhelmed the Pink Panty Waists.

The "Progressives" aka Commies, are not only unaccustomed to being challenged on their home turf, they come unglued when confronted by superior numbers. We felt, and tremendously enjoyed their pain.

Yes. It must have really hurt being trounced in their own socialist back yard. So, Code Pinko Dismal Morons were trounced on their own turfs in Dc and Berzerkely.

SWEET!!

Michelle Malkin:

Reader Dr. Zoo sends photos of the Move America Forward pro-troops rally at the Marine recruiting center in Berkeley. More coming. Wonderful sight to see the Code Pinkos outnumbered and outflagged on “their” turf. Kudos to Melanie Morgan, our vets, and all the supporters who came to counter the recruiter-bashers:

AMEN!

Serious Troll Trouncing Going On

Remember Nancy's Little Snit?

It MUST hurt getting trounced in your own back yard!!

As many of us have been saying for the last 2 years or so, the anti-Americanist Leftinistra are losing their steam...what is "left" of it. They have lost their forward momentum and their full steam ahead is in reverse now, desperately trying NOT to fall off of that Soros funded Abyss of Obscurity.

The whole lot of them are dumber than a box of turtle turds. And one of the anti-Americanists dared to bring a pocket knife to a Howitzer fight.

What a bunch of losers. I have heard these jack-asses say that the military is nothing but a bunch of trained killers. If that is so, is it REALLY a goos idea to piss us off?

Just wondering.

Fighting the Dems to Keep America Safe: FISA

The post following was "lifted" from Wake Up America and cross-posted here. I am going to add a bit to the bottom of the post.

Unable to actually legislate, as we discussed this morning, the Democrats thought they would get cute and cut off debate to preserve a loophole on behalf of the terrorists around the world.

Not many people are familiar with the House Rules Committee, or why it has so much power to determine what legislation passes the House. Simply put, the Committee sets the terms for debate of all significant legislation--how long a bill is debated, who may offer amendments, what amendments may be offered, etc. Before a bill goes to the House floor, the Committee meets to review amendments, hear testimony from interested parties, and discuss how to structure the floor debate.

Rules Committee Chair Louise Slaughter did something unusual however, in the hearing on legislation to extend the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act--she announced at the start of the hearing that no amendments of any type would be allowed for debate. Committee Democrats followed Slaughter's lead and voted against amendments to: authorize surveillance of those engaged in the creation of Weapons of Mass Destruction; authorize surveillance of foreign terrorists outside the United States; extend liability protection to telecommunications companies that relied on government directives and shared information deemed necessary for protection from terrorist attack; and, allow a debate on the Bush administration's alternative.

The Republicans having but one option left to fight the Democrats in order to keep America safe, used their right under the house rules to offer one 'motion to recommit' the bill.

Nothing in this Act [H.R. 3773] or the amendments made by this Act shall be construed to prohibit the intelligence community (as defined in section 3(4) of the National Security Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C. 401a(4))) from conducting surveillance needed to prevent Osama Bin Laden, Al Qaeda, or any other foreign terrorist organization designated under section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1189) from attacking the United States or any United States person.

Pretty straight foward but it threw the Democrats into disarray.

From Red State:

[UPDATE by Jeff:] House Democrats were unable to whip enough votes to get their way. Today, they were against a simple vote on a Republican proposal to protect America's intelligence agencies ability to fight Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda. That's it - they were against that and fought desperately today to kill it.

When they failed, they pulled the entire FISA bill.

-----------------
[UPDATE by Erick:] House Democrats have fallen into disarray. They are currently holding the FISA legislation from the floor until later in the day, so they can have more time to work their voting numbers. If the vote were held right now, the Republican motion would pass. Dems are working their moderates furiously right now. Just a reminder, the proposal Democrats are working against simply protects the ability of our intelligence agencies to protect America from Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda.

From Boehner's site:

“Our proposal gives Democrats a very simple choice: They can allow our intelligence officials to conduct surveillance on likes of Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda or prohibit them from doing so and jeopardize our national security. Every member of the Majority will now have the opportunity to go on record and take a firm position for or against giving our intelligence community all the tools they need to keep America safe.”

Eric Cantor calls it drawing a line in the sand and putting everyone on public record:

The House is voting today on FISA legislation, the Democrats have played petty politics with this bill. As currently written, many of America’s national security experts are concerned that it will limit their ability to protect this country. Let’s be clear, the intelligence agencies only wish to use the same investigative tools that have been used against organized crime for decades.

Today, we will be offering an amendment to the legislation to clarify that nothing in the bill “shall be construed to prohibit the intelligence community from conducting surveillance needed to prevent Osama Bin Laden, Al Qaeda, or any other foreign terrorist organization…from attacking the United States or any United States person.”

Later today, on the House floor, let’s put all Members of Congress on the record - which do they care more about, pleasing their MoveOn.org liberal base or making sure America is safe and secure? Stay tuned for updates.

UPDATE:House Democrats are holding the FISA bill off the floor, scrambling to figure out how to respond. Why would they possibly want to avoid a vote that merely says we need to allow our intelligence agencies to keep America safe from terrorism?

UPDATE:House Democrats have pulled the FISA bill. They are so desperately against allowing our intelligence agencies to fight OBL and AQ, that they pulled the entire bill to prevent a vote.

These games the Democrats keep playing (closing off debate and not allowing amendments to come to a vote) are the reason they have been and will continue to be known as weak on National Security.

When the Republicans in the house have to fight the hardest battle against Democrats to keep America safe, that is a pretty sad day in history and yet that is where we are right now.

Once again the Democrats would rather please their far left, liberal, unhinged portion of their base than to protect our country.

The above belongs to Wake Up America.

My comments/addendum is(are) below.

I have filed this post in the category of "Enemies of The State" and "Clear and Present Danger". Why, you ask? I am glad you asked. Do, please, try to follow along. It does relate to the conclusions drawn in the above post.

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor – he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation , he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.” Marcus Tullius Cicero 42 B.C.

Quite a statesman placed the above together. What does it mean? And, more importantly, how does the statement apply to today's political climate in America today?

On 91101, the entire country rallied together because another Day Of Infamy was upon us all. Our Nation was attacked on American Soil Proper. Our Nation has been under attack since the early 1970s but the politicos did nothing because the "enemy" was but a mere pimple on the buttocks of the world's society. Through the years of the Do Nothing Policy or Policies, the pimples have grown to be infected, bleeding and ulcerous boils with no cure but to exterminate the virus. This is too much for the Bleeding Hearts to accept. This is why they cannot be trusted with National Security issues. They haven't the Warrior's Stomach for it.

The stunt they pulled today is reminiscent of the Reidco ploy after his All Night Slumber Party failed and was quite the International embarrassment.

On every turn, at every opportunity, the Leftinistra, the armies of the socialist liberal, scream and holler and call foul at every attempt to fulfill the guideline of our Constitution and that is to protect the PEOPLE of this country. They claim to represent the majority of Americans but I have yet to ascertain which Americans they represent the majority of. If they claim that the far-left Anti-Americanists are the majority of Americans, what are the rest of us? The far-leftists are NOT a majority in numbers, not by any stretch of the imagination. They are, however, financed and encouraged by George Soros. And, George Soros has said that he owns the Democratic Party. He holds the purse strings and he calls the shots as to what they say, do and vote on and how.

Orcinus

[...]

The liberals are our destruction. They want to destroy the United States and our people. This plan must be blocked.

There are no distinctions between liberals. Each liberal is a sworn enemy of the American people. If he does not make his hostility plain, it is only from cowardice and slyness, not because he loves us.

The liberals are to blame for each American soldier who falls in this war. They have him on their conscience, and must also pay for it.

If someone pulled the lever for Kerry, Pelosi, et al., he is an enemy of the people. He earns the contempt of the entire people, for he is a craven coward who leaves them in the lurch to stand by the enemy.

The liberals enjoy the approval of our enemies. That is all the proof we need to show how harmful they are for our people.

The liberals are the enemy’s agents among us. He who stands by them aids the enemy.

The liberals have no right to claim that their arguments and opinions equal ours. They should be ignored, not only because they are simply wrong, but because they are liberals who have no right to a voice in the community.

If the liberals appeal to your sentimentality, realize that they are hoping for your forgetfulness, and let them know that you see through them and hold them in contempt.

A decent enemy will deserve our generosity after we have won. The liberal however is not a decent enemy, though he tries to seem so.

The treatment liberals receive from us is hardly unjust. They have deserved it all. It is the job of the government to deal with them. No one has the right to act on his own, but each has the duty to support the state’s measures against the liberals, to defend them with others, and to avoid being misled by any liberal tricks.

The security of the state requires that of us all.

[...]

The stunt earlier today is a Clear and Present Danger to our American FREE Society.

On Colonel North and L.O.S.T.

Who supports this treaty that gives our nation's sovereignty away to the United Nations? We already know that George Soros will back anything that will destroy the United States Constitution and make way for a New World Order of Socialist Unions where everyone is on the same level(s)...except for the wealthy...like Soros.

This is an ideological Wet Dream.

President George Bush once stated...“America will never seek a permission slip to defend the security of our country.” He said that at his 2004 State Of The Union Address. Did he mean that or was he only referring to the terrorists and the Leftinistra?

Colonel North made note of this statement in his recent piece at Fox News. He then makes a statement which requires many answers to many questions:

[...]

...But if the U.S. Senate votes to ratify the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea — known as the Law of the Sea Treaty, or its appropriate acronym, LOST — he and his successors are going to need lots of permission slips.

[...]

Why is it that whenever an issue like this is tried to be shoved through on the quick and quicker before anyone finds out about it, it always turns out to be some colossal CF?

[...]

LOST also opens the door to a long-sought U.N. goal: the redistribution of wealth by taxing Americans. The International Seabed Authority (ISA), a bloated, multi-national bureaucracy headquartered in Jamaica, has the mandate to distribute revenues and “other economic benefits” on the basis of “equitable sharing criteria, taking into account the interests and needs of developing States.” In addition to acting as a global IRS, the ISA also decides which companies from what nations will develop mineral resources on the seabed.

The Devil is in the Details!

On Page 15 of the Ulama's letter to Christianity, we find this:

Finally, as Muslims, and in obedience to the Holy Qur’an, we ask Christians to come together with us on the common essentials of our two religions … that we shall worship none but God, and that we shall ascribe no partner unto Him, and that none of us shall take others for lords beside God … (Aal ‘Imran, 3:64).
Let this common ground be the basis of all future interfaith dialogue between us, for our common ground is that on which hangs all the Law and the Prophets (Matthew 22:40). God says in the Holy Qur’an:
Say (O Muslims): We believe in God and that which is revealed unto us and that which was revealed unto Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the tribes, and that which Moses and Jesus received, and that which the prophets received from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and unto Him we have surrendered. / And if they believe in the like of that which ye believe, then are they rightly guided. But if they turn away, then are they in schism, and God will suffice thee against them. He is the Hearer, the Knower. (Al-Baqarah, 2:136-137)

They preach to us about Common essentials; and immediately demand that we profane Jesus Christ. Islam denies his deity, crucifixion, death and resurrection. It is Christians who must abandon their faith; Islam does not compromise!

The next to last sentence of the quote from al-Baqarah conceals more than it reveals. "But if they turn away , then are they in schism, and God will suffice thee against them. He is the Hearer, the Knower."

1. "if they turn away" is a common expression in the Qur'an. How is it used? As a pretext for war.

   Turn now to Ibn Kathir's Tafsir. Good News for the Believers of Eternal Delight

   (73. O Prophet! Strive hard against the disbelievers and the hypocrites, and be harsh against them, their abode is Hell, -- and worst indeed is that destination.) (74. They swear by Allah that they said nothing (bad), but really they said the word of disbelief, and they disbelieved after accepting Islam, and they resolved that (plot) which they were unable to carry out, and they could not find any cause to do so except that Allah and His Messenger had enriched them of His bounty. If then they repent, it will be better for them, but if they turn away; Allah will punish them with a painful torment in this worldly life and in the Hereafter. And there is none for them on earth as a protector or a helper.)

   Threatening the Disbelievers with Torment in This Life and the Hereafter

   (And I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve till the Day of Resurrection. Then you will return to Me and I will judge between you in the matters in which you used to dispute. As to those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe torment in this world and in the Hereafter, and they will have no helpers.)

   This is what Allah did to the Jews who disbelieved in `Isa and the Christians who went to the extreme over him. Allah tormented them in this life; they were killed, captured, and lost their wealth and kingdoms. Their torment in the Hereafter is even worse and more severe, ... ) (62. Verily, this is the true narrative, and there is no god except Allah. And indeed, Allah is the Almighty, the All-Wise.) (63. And if they turn away, then surely, Allah is All-Aware of those who do mischief.)

Turn now to Ibn Kathir's Tafsir.
Encouraging Believers to fight in Jihad; the Good News that a Few Muslims can overcome a Superior Enemy Force

Allah encourages His Prophet and the believers to fight and struggle against the enemy, and wage war against their forces. Allah affirms that He will suffice, aid, support, and help the believers against their enemies, even if their enemies are numerous and have sufficient supplies, while the believers are few. Allah said,

﴿يَـأَيُّهَا النَّبِىُّ حَرِّضِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَى الْقِتَالِ﴾

(O Prophet! Urge the believers to fight), encouraged and called them to fight. The Messenger of Allah used to encourage the Companions to fight when they faced the enemy. On the day of Badr when the idolators came with their forces and supplies, he said to his Companions,

«قُومُوا إِلَى جَنَّةٍ عَرْضُهَا السَّمَوَاتُ وَالْأَرْض»

(Get ready and march forth towards a Paradise as wide as the heavens and earth.)

`Umayr bin Al-Humam said, "As wide as the heavens and earth'' The Messenger said,

«نَعَم»

(Yes) `Umayr said, "Excellent! Excellent!'' The Messenger asked him,

«مَا يَحْمِلُكَ عَلَى قَوْلِكَ: بَخٍ بَخ»

(What makes you say, `Excellent! Excellent!') He said, "The hope that I might be one of its dwellers.'' The Prophet said,

«فَإِنَّكَ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا»

(You are one of its people.) Umayr went ahead, broke the scabbard of his sword, took some dates and started eating from them. He then threw the dates from his hand, saying, "Verily, if I lived until I finished eating these dates, then it is indeed a long life.'' He went ahead, fought and was killed, may Allah be pleased with him.

Allah said next, commanding the believers and conveying good news to them,

﴿إِن يَكُن مِّنكُمْ عِشْرُونَ صَـبِرُونَ يَغْلِبُواْ مِاْئَتَيْنِ وَإِن يَكُنْ مُّنكُمْ مِّاْئَةٌ يَغْلِبُواْ أَلْفًا مِّنَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ﴾

(If there are twenty steadfast persons among you, they will overcome two hundred, and if there be a hundred steadfast persons, they will overcome a thousand of those who disbelieve.)

Allah provides, suffices, and makes a Way out of Every Hardship for Those Who have Taqwa

Far from being an offer of peace, the letter is a demand for surrender. While it is more subtle than Muhammad's extortion letters, it is no less threatening.

I Have Been Meme Tagged...Why Do I Blog?

I wonder how many words I am limited to for this answer. The reasons are many and deeply felt.


From Spree, the Tagger:

Some are not sure about participating in memes or "tagging" but I have found that the nature of this particular meme is that there is a variety of websites dealing with different topics in different areas of the blogosphere, which brings us traffic and wonderful new regulars that otherwise would never hear of us because they do not blog in the same "circles" we do.

Thanks to Mel for including political blogs in this launch and thanks to Spree for inviting me.

REMEMBER to add your blog name, URL, why you blog and your best post with its URL, to the *list*.

**Start Copy Here**

We have a voice;
We must be heard;

Now spread the word!

This meme is based on a recent post that was conducted asking the question “Why do you Blog?” and the rewrite “Why do you Blog? - Reworked.” The purpose of this meme is to tell our tales by spreading the reasons that we blog to as many sites as possible. We get to explain ourselves, direct traffic to our site and highlight our most important, most representative or most relevant post in an SEO favorable format. This will be a positive experience for everyone who wants to get involved. This will enable you to create a short advertisement for your site that will be spread across the blogesphere; a growing directory of blogs.

This is an open meme. You do not have to be tagged to join in. All you have to do is follow the rules.

Please let me know when you have added your site by leaving a comment on “Complete List” with a link to your post. This will insure an up-to-date list, giving you even greater distribution. You then have the option of copying the growing list back to your site.

Rules:

1. Create an inventive post title
2. Write a brief introduction to the meme.
3. Copy from “**Start Copy Here**” through “**End Copy Here**”
4. Paste into your post
5. At the end of the “*list*”, before “**End copy here**”, please add your name, site name (with link), a very brief description (2-3 sentences) of why you blog, and your most important, most representative, or most relevant post (with link.)
6. Tag at least 5 others to participate.

Mostly I blog because I'm firmly convinced I've figured a few things out and that the world will benefit from my experience the same way I've benefited from others' experiences. One post that I feel captures my emotional involvement and my ire (but not my humor as much) is Decision time.

People call me the Midgetmanofsteel (although I’m neither a midget, nor made of steel). I am the sole author the blog Mental Poo: a mostly true and humorous account of things that have happened to me, are happening to me, or are just filling my head and taking up valuable space where images of women should be. You can get a sneak peek into my mess of a brain by reading “Raisins are People” – a true account of my son’s first field trip.

My name is Sandee and I have a blog called Comedy Plus. My blog is just for fun, and I started it to poke fun about everyday life. My reason for blogging is to have fun and meet new friends.

One of my favorite posts is Goodnight Sweetheart! Hello Basil! Eh...Who's Basil...

Hola! This is Mariuca and I blog because writing is what makes me whole. I write about anything under the sun from life, love, friends to cats and work. I tend to write best when under pressure and my personal favourite post from Mariuca is Love in Disarray.

My name is Susan and I am the Owner of ~~Wake up America ~~, which is a political, right leaning blog.

"Here I am :-) My name is Mauro and I'm the author of 1 Million Love Messages ... maybe the biggest love challenge in the blogosphere. Why I blog ??? Because I believe that bloggers can make a difference in the world. That's my challenge! My favourite post it's (for sure) Adam Donkus & Lizzie's Love History."

Hi there World I am Aussie, the author of Little Aussie Cynic and I want to Breathe among others. I was recently asked:"Why Do you Blog?" this takes me back to the beginning... I started blogging in an attempt to get people thinking, using my cynical humour as a tool to make people laugh, think and at times get the blood pumping.... Each of my Blogs takes in a little peice of my varied personality but the one which discribes me best would have to be There is Always a Natural Way the latest edition to the Aussie Cynic Family...

I'm Holly from Mama Pajama. I am a stay-at-home mom to my two year old son, Cameron. He is such a joy in our lives. I just stumbled across blogging after watching a television show. I wish I had found it sooner, as it has been so much fun meeting people all across the globe. It's my own place to share about my family, interests, likes, dislikes, etc. I love that I've found my own little circle of blog buddies that will read the stuff I have to say....as mundane or silly as it might be! LOL It's fun leaving others comments, and knowing that something I post or comment just might make someone smile that day. I'm already having a hard time turning off my computer at night, so I'm hoping to keep this blogging addiction under control. My favorite post so far is Lucky Girl.

I'm Kathleen of Invisible Keepsakes.Well, I blog because if I don't, I'll go mad and get very hard to live with. I need a tableau for my creative endeavours. I write poetry. That is to say, I am a poet. I'm not a great poet; nor am I a deep poet, but I love wordplay and creating images and entertaining people with my ideas and interpretations of events and news and random topics. I've written quite a lot of poems, some have even been published, but I think the one I would have you read is Bad Dawg #7 because I feel so strongly about it.

I am Beth or Skipper - whoever you are most comfortable with, and I author My Life Starts at Forty Two. I am really trying to turn my life and myself around - and become the best me that I can. It is not always easy with family, illness, etc, but I refuse to give up. This is my journal of journey. One of the best posts that I can use to describe me is The Decision.

I am Delirious the creator of Lifeonalimb. I always wished I could have my own little newspaper and write all of the columns myself. But since I probably wouldn't make enough money to pay for the paper to publish it, I decided to go the "free route" instead. I don't think this is my best post, but probably one that most people would enjoy; death-defying Stop in, check it out, leave a comment, then go get therapy.

I am Bridget from "And Miles To Go Before We Sleep" I am a stay at home mom of five young children, ages 1-12, three of which have special needs. Two of my boys are afflicted with Autism so it is a very busy household. I started bogging because our family moves around a lot and we ar very far away from our families and this was a great was to stay in touch with them. I met so many great people through blogging and I enjoyed it so much that I now feel like it's another job (one that I enjoy). My favorite post so far has to be The Old Tree In The Middle Of The Dry Desert

My name is Winsome Gunning and I am an artist who started blogging about `The Creative Process’ and `The Power of Listening to Silence’ on Winsome Gunning Art Walk. From my own listening to silence came A New Green Earthmy personal voice for green change. About DioxinAbout Simple Ways and A Green Earth are also my voices for green change. On these two blogs I publish contemporary green news from around the world.

I am the wily Blogolope, and I blog for fun and to get things off my chest and hopefully be funny. I created Blogolope because I thought it would be fun, simple as that. Blogolope to Assist Santa, Elves if a funny post. is an example of the issues about which I have felt compelled to write.

Hi, My name is Janice Ng & I'm the miracle mum from "This is a miracle". I started to blog to document the foot steps of my 2 boys : Amos & Zachary. With this blog, they are able to look back what they have been through: their joy, excitement, laughter, fighting, crying, screaming... etc when they grow up. One of my favourite post is "The loving brothers" on how the 2 brothers showed they tenderly care through a piece of strawberry cake!!

Hi! My name is Crystal, my middle name actually. I am the author of Choc Mint Girl. I started to blog because I need my own space to 'just write', but what I find here is quite inspiring and I am amazed at how many different bloggers with different approach ended up as great friends and inspire each other. It doesn’t matter what I blog about as long as the two parties find the connection in one another, that will be the best reason of why do I actually blog. I guess my most relevant post is my very first innocent post, Getting Started.

My name is Michelle of Crow's Feet . I started writing because I love words and wanted to make people feel... and think, but I soon realised that writing is about connecting. Because the more we connect to others - the more we learn about ourselves. I'm picking my post Small Miracles as representing who I am, why I blog... and why I love the internet.

My name is Claire and I created the blog Bebo Author. I write because I'd go crazy otherwise and I blog to help others (especially young, unpublished writers) share their work. I want to promote writers and give people a place to share their advice and tips for others. My favourite post is a hard one to pick so I'll say Writing Tips.

My name is Stine, a Norwegian mother of 6, and I blog at Mother's Home!. I have recently created another blog/site, Mother's Got A Dot Com. Why? First, for my own enjoyment. I've gotten to "know" so many lovely people since I started, and blogging has become an addiction (Sound familiar?) Second, I'm continually amazed that I can actually earn a little extra doing what I enjoy so much... I also get to let out some steam sometimes, as in Stage Mums.

My name is c.a. Marks and I blog for many reasons. At first I started a blog for my knitting, then I moved over into the political arena, and now I'm doing a personal blog, Sex and the South, that was inspired by my all time favorite HBO original series, "Sex and the City". Yes, I want to be Carrie Bradshaw, with a twist. What kind of twist, I have no idea. I am in the blogging business for the fame and fortune....KIDDING! No, for real, I like to blog because like everyone else it gives me an outlet. There, that's it, nothing amazing and profound about it. Thanks!

My name is Misty Dawn, and I blog from the middle of nowhere, at My Dogs Keep Me Sane. I began this blog at the advice of one of my best friends. It's purpose was to give me a place to talk about the frustrations of moving to another state and moving away from my family and friends. Now, it has become so much more than that. Blogging has become an addiction for me. I now use my blog to earn income; I have met so many fabulous friends; I share my writing and my photography; I share my stories, whether they be funny, serious, or sad; I can share my frustrations and my emotions without worrying about being judged for what I say... There are no words to encompass what blogging and the people of the blogosphere mean to me... and that is why I blog. My favorite post would have to be Rough Tough Farm Gang because it is a fun post that will make people smile. I'm not saying it is my best or most thought-out post, but it is my favorite.

The internet world knows me by LadyJava. My first blog, "how to make money online" was actually the reason why I started blogging. I wanted to share to the world that I was making online share my experience about it. However I enjoyed blogging so much that the habit quickly caught on and I began writing a few other blogs as well. This blog, however, is by far my favorite blog as I've made many friends from all over the world and I continue blogging as an avenue for me to share my life with friends and would-be friends. My favorite post is "Coffee and Me" as I am officially a coffee addict..

Hi, Genny is here. I am the happymomiam in the world of blogging. I am the author of My Life's Adventure, Wonderful Things In Life, and The Beauty of Life. I blog because i like to share some of my experiences in life about my family and friends. I like to give some encouragement knowing that everybody needs people who can comfort them. My most relevant posts are all the quotes & encouraging food for thoughts.

Hello my name is Deborah author of Climate of Our Future, I also co-author She Walks in Beauty. I blog with passion for our environment. I started this blog because I believe that we as bloggers have a very loud voice in this blogosphere. that By sharing what knowledge I find about our environment would not only benefit the blogger but also our environment. I also blog about Beauty, because no matter how harmed and polluted our world has become I can still see the beauty within. My favorite post would have to be the one about plastic in the Pacific twice the size of Texas.

I am Snooper, owner and the main author of Take Our Country Back. There are several authors that post to my blog and I deeply respect their writings even when at times, I have slight disagreements with their posts. Then again, who wants automatons? I blog because those of us which think along the same lines as I do, are not offered a voice in The Main Stream Media. I blog to support The Troops and nothing but The Troops seeing that I myself and our oldest son ARE Troops. The most hated post from the far left which equates to the most powerful post is We Had A Patriotic Nation Once.
