Soldier Hard: A Voice From Iraq

~Snooper~

While America settles in for the political quagmire for the upcoming National Elections, I, Snooper, will continue blogging the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to remind everyone that passes this way how the political charlatans on both sides of the aisle have shafted our troops at every turn and every opportunity.

Their actions are unforgivable. Their actions are unforgettable. I will continue the onslaught that they so richly deserve. I don't need opinion polls to tell me how they screwed my brothers and sisters and now son, in arms.

HOOAH?

From A Soldier's Perspective, we have the following. I don't like Rap Music for the obvious reasons but I am going to have to reconsider.

As a young child, Soldier Hard knew that he would one day become a soldier in the United States Army. Coming from a military family he grew up around the American GI lifestyle. Upon graduating from Hogan High School in Vallejo, California, he enlisted with the United States Army as an Armor Crewmen (19K) on a M1A1 main battle tank. Soldier Hard served with B Co. 1/67th Armor Ft. Hood TX and A Co. 2/70th Ft. Riley KS. Soldier Hard was deployed to Kuwait in support of Operation Southern Watch with the 67th Armor Regiment and left the Army after six years of serving his country to pursue a career in music.

Three short years later, Soldier Hard enlisted again, as a result of the events of Septmeber 11, 2001. As the Battalion's Executive Officer's gunner on a M1A1 Main Battle Tank for the HHC 1/149th Armor Regiment, Soldier Hard's main objective was to deploy to Iraq and do his part in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. On August 2005, Soldier Hard was deployed to Iraq, postponing his dream of a musical career and putting his life on hold to pursue his mission of defending freedom.

While in Iraq, Soldier Hard was assigned and attached to C BTRY 1-377th FA out of Fort Bragg, North Carolina. There he served as a Lead Vehicle Truck Commander with the mission of Convoy Security. After spending one year in Iraq, providing convoy security, Soldier Hard was asked to become a Convoy Operations Instructor at Fort Bliss, Texas. Instructing soldiers, sailors, and airmen who are deploying to Iraq. It is with his new position he was able to make time for his interest in music and passion for his country.

Global Cultural Jihad

~Snooper~

Thou shalt NOT criticize Islam! Thou SHALT criticize Christianity and you WILL like it or some Islamic scum sucking sheethead is going to cut your damn head off.

HT to Yid With Lid via WND, we have a story - one of many - where Global Jihad, Global Islam, Global Cultural Jihad, Global Caliphate is coming to YOUR home neighborhood and if you DARE "whine" about it, expect law suits and other such whale dung. You, as an American, do NOT have Freedom Of Speech. You have the freedom to accept the murderous teachings of Islam or off with your head.

California Textbook: JIHAD IS GOOD

A history textbook used in Sacramento and other schools in California teaches that Jihad is a good thing, it only means doing good works for God. Gee I never thought of putting Jihad and walking an old lady across the street in the same category, unless you blew the old lady up. [...]

Where do these people of alleged Higher Learning come up with this crap? Someone help me out here...really. I am confused.

Textbook: Islamic 'jihad' means doing good works Also includes Muslims fighting 'to protect themselves from harm'

What? Read the above linked articles and let me know where I have gone wrong. K?

In other news, we have Jihadist scum sucking mutant rabid murderous thug bastards using Canadian and American "rights" issues against the very countries they wish to take over. And, Canada and America aren't the only countries this is happening to either. They claim such ignorant rants such as "hate speech" and various other means of suppressing their oppositional elements...meaning Freedom Lovers. They want the freedom to suppress YOUR freedoms so they can have free reign over YOU! Get used to it. If you are too cowardly to do anything about it, you deserve everything they have coming your way...don't come whining to me...I won't protect you the sword of allah because I will be too busy protecting those that are fighting this crap with me currently.

A Syrian Islamic diaper-wearing bastard has warned Europe to knock off the criticism of Islam or face war. Long held from the publics' eye for political correctness considerations is the link between the Islamic-Nazism connections, proving further proof of the Nazi-Islamic collaboration.

HWT is running a 12-part series on Islam v West and YOU need to go there, go through every link and read all there is, print it out and keep it handy.

For my ever growing compilation of bloggers and other writers on this subject, I have two sources for you to begin your own studies. They are in my Google Reader here and here in the shared and public areas. The entries therein will change from time to time and if you complain to me about that, too bad...it is my compilation - go start your own.

An article that needs to be read and digested in this one, written by Joe Kaufman, located at Front Page Magazine...yes, that one...that VRWC rag that drives the Leftinistra and other socialist/communist trash and other anti-Americanist scum sucking worm-dirt candidates crazy...more so than usual.

You may want to familiarize yourselves with CAIR, ICNA, AKF, MAS, NAIT, HLF and MLFA.

Personally, I say , "Screw Islam!"

Liberal Hate Mongering is essentially the same as these Jihadist hate mongers...

The Anti-Americanist Groups Have Hit The Patriot Brick Wall

~Snooper~

More of this story can be tracked at Memeorandum but we at ANO would like to expound on this subject that The Politico has published today.

When the anti-Americanist crowds within Hollyweird equate the Golden Globe collapse to the fall of Saigon; when the NY Slimes spends every waking moment trying to convince Americans that our military are murderous thugs and have not one time written of the heroic efforts of our Troops; when Presidential Aspirants who were adamantly opposed to the "Bush Troop Surge" suddenly turn around and take the credit for the successes of said "Bush Troop Surge"; when the Commanding Officer in Iraq writes a letter of thanks to Move America Forward and NOT Hillary Clinton for supporting the War Effort; when idiots and BDS infected morons like George The One World Socialist anti-Americanist Soros gets busted for financing an anti-Americanist survey of the Iraqi civilians "killed by US Troops" with massively wrong statistics and claims they are accurate; when pro-Cuban Communists get run out of town at their own anti-Americanist protest; when the truth be told of the Victory at hand comes to the publics' attention; as the fools maintain the same old tired and used up blind rhetoric of non-issue issues; as the fund-raising efforts of the anti-Americanist groups become known as to where these funds are going and why they are aiding the enemies we face as a Nation; as more and more America Haters and BDS drivelers continue in their certifiable ramblings; as more and more Patriots rise up and say, "HELL NO!"; as the rantings of the worse CONgress in history gets slammed by that mean General Petraeus; as it comes to the fore that the "Chicken Hawk" garbage was just that...garbage; as Americans see first hand how the media, namely the NY Slimes, continuously informs our enemies what the military's next move will be; when heroes such as this get national attention, sending the Leftinistra back into their slimy pools of primordial ooze; as the public comes to learn of the associations of the Kennedy Clan with communist groups...and they support that ideology; as the Silent Majority are standing up to be heard and can no longer be ignored; as The New Media continuously gets the scoop on the current events and the alleged MSM sucks our dust; as the Hate America crowds are shown to be hoping that America fails in the Mission In Iraq; as the Blame America First idiots, like this one in Vermont, are shown to be complete fools worldwide...

As General Petraeus and his staff and the men and women he commands bring about the brilliantly applied strategy in Iraq and saying and doing that which he stated he would do becomes more and more evident and impossible to "hide", is it any wonder that the moonbats and anti-Americanists are running away?

After a series of legislative defeats in 2007 that saw the year end with more U.S. troops in Iraq than when it began, a coalition of anti-war groups is backing away from its multimillion-dollar drive to cut funding for the war and force Congress to pass timelines for bringing U.S. troops home. [...]

They have also canceled several "appearances" in DC this coming March...boo-hoo.

Their next target will be a lame and losing attempt to keep Iraq from asking the United States to remain in Iraq for at least the next 1o years.

I find it comical that the Lame Duck Bush, in his last year as President, wins again and the BDS fools are powerless to stop him.

What does that say for the alleged intellectuals of the anti-Americanist leadership...namely Soros?

Ask Barack Obama

Questions for Senator Barack Obama

1. When you knelt at the altar of Trinity United Church of Christ: "I submitted myself to His will, and dedicated myself to discovering His truth." Which God was it?
   • Allah?
   • Jehovah?
   • Does it make any difference to you?
   • What must a Christian do to be saved?
   • What must a Muslim do to be saved?
2. What is the relationship between Jehovah and Jesus Christ?
   • father : son
   • master : slave
   
   
3. What is the relationship between Jesus Christ and Barack Obama? Is he your savior?
4. Was Jesus Christ crucified, dead, buried and resurrected?
5. What is the meaning of this: “I will stand with [the Muslims] should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”
6. “The person who made me proudest of all,” Obama wrote, “was Roy. Actually, now we call him Abongo, his Luo name, for two years ago he decided to reassert his African heritage. He converted to Islam, and has sworn off pork and tobacco and alcohol.”
   • Exactly how is conversion to Islam, a source of pride?
   • If your brother's conversion gives you pride, why don't you revert to Islam and take pride therein for yourself?
   • If the reference is to renunciation of pork, tobacco & alcohol, couldn't he have done that by converting to Seventh Day Adventist instead of Islam?
7. The bottom line: will you clearly, explicitly and specifically renounce and abjure the Islamic imperatives to:
   
   • conquer & subjugate the entire world?
     • 2:216
     • 8:39
     • 9:29
     • 9:33
     • Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 8, Number 387
   • terrorize disbelievers
     • 3:151
     • 8:12
     • 8:60
     • 33:26
     • 59:2
     • Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 220
   • commit genocide
     • 8:67
     • 47:4
     • Abu Dawud Book 38, Number 4390

I have propounded these critical questions because, to date, the mainstream media have not summoned up the requisite fortitude to do their job. I urge all who read this to make these critical questions echo throughout the web until the msm get a clue and summon up the fortitude to propound them where the entire nation can hear the answers.

Anti-Americanists Under Attack By Patriots

AMERICA RISING!!

Here we go folks! I keep saying this over and over that the Silent Majority is rising...America is Rising...and the libtards have had their day in the fun-filled sunny days. Their days are numbered.

Another anti-Americanist has met a challenger and it looks like the challenger has a real good shot!!

HT to Gateway Pundit...

1st Lt. Travis L. Manion was killed in action on April 27, 2007 in Iraq's Anbar Province.

Yesterday, his father Thomas Manion, a Republican who recently retired as a colonel in the Marine Reserves, entered the race against antiwar liberal Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-Pa.).

Thomas says his son's death was a wake-up call to step forward and serve.
Jules Crittenden has more on the Manion's.

Everyone in this district of Pennsylvania need to get on board here and make this happen!!

HT Breitbart: Jan 16 02:42 PM US/Eastern Ex-Lawmaker Charged in Terror Conspiracy

Via Jawa:

The former Republican congressman from Michigan, Mark Deli Siljander, was charged with money laundering, conspiracy and obstructing justice for allegedly lying about lobbying senators on behalf of an Islamic charity that authorities said was secretly sending funds to terrorists. [...]

Ain't that swell? Jawa's take below:

[...] It's important to note, though, that Siljander is alleged to have committed fraud, not that he knowingly helped support al Qaeda. Instead, the indictment alleges that Siljander helped launder money tagged for USAID operations in Africa to his own wallet and that he obstructed justice by lying to the Grand Jury looking into IARA's terror financing activities.

Siljander was hired by IARA to lobby for their removal from the specially designated terrorist list. It doesn't look like he was directly involved--or even indirectly--with terror financing. Instead, it looks like he's a crooked lobbyist.

But a crooked lobbyist willing to sell his services to terror supporters.

Vets For Freedom: EAGLES UP!

~Snooper~

I received the following via email:

Vets for Freedom members,

2008 promises to be another busy year for Vets for Freedom. We are already working hard on a laundry list of events, and you should be on the lookout for exciting announcements in the coming weeks. We plan to ensure that the incredible progress our brave troops achieved in 2007 is continued and acknowledged.

While Congress returns to business and the Presidential race heats up, Vets for Freedom continues to actively advocate on behalf of the brave men and women who are defying the critics and winning the fight in Iraq. This Monday alone, Vets for Freedom member and Marine infantry officer Erik Swabb wrote an excellent article in the Wall Street Journal entitled "The Lessons of Iraq" and I wrote an op-ed in the National Review Online entitled "Death Blow to Defeatists" that outlines the recent political progress in Iraq. I also had the opportunity to appear on The O'Reilly Factor once again to take on MoveOn.org. To view the clip, please visit our website.

On another note, Vets for Freedom is proud to welcome Founder and Medal of Honor nominee David Bellavia as the Editor-In-Chief of our Troop Blog. David Bellavia is also the author of House to House: An Epic Memoir of War, an unforgettable story of triumph, adversity, and the unending courage of a U.S. infantryman and his squad in Iraq. David-along with many other excellent writers-will be blogging daily.

Lastly, be sure to visit our new website to get the latest news articles and updates on issues important to Vets for Freedom members. I look forward to working with each of you this year as we continue to support our brave troops in Iraq and Afghanistan-and our veterans here at home.

Move Out and Draw Fire!

Suck It Up Candidates Or Bust

~Snooper~

Michelle Malkin has hit another one out of the ball park. If she keeps this up, a pro-ball team is going to pick her up.

Wanted: A Suck It Up candidate

No doubt.

I need a man. A man who can say "No." A man who rejects Big Nanny government. A man who thinks being president doesn't mean playing Santa Claus. A man who won't panic in the face of economic pain. A man who won't succumb to media-driven sob stories.

A man who can look voters, the media and the Chicken Littles in Congress in the eye and say the three words no one wants to hear in Washington: Suck. It. Up. [...]

[...] As we head toward Super Tuesday, the subprime mess and the economy will dominate -- and the Do Something Democrat candidates will turn their spigot of overextended homeowner sob stories on full blast. Do Republicans want a clear alternative to liberal-nomics? Or will you settle for a lip-service conservative who will reward fiscal recklessness with only slightly less government intervention than the Dems?

Still looking for Mr. Right. Remember: You'll have me at "Suck. It. Up."

SPOT ON! How about we have folks take responsibility for their own actions and suffer the consequences thereof?

What a NOVEL idea!!

Blackfive Says To Do It So We Are

~Snooper~

From Blackfive: A Letter And Message To The Candidates

Sgt. Hook has a Letter to the Candidates that should go to every politician, not just those running. It is well worth reading, and well worth sharing. It also echoes a message that I was asked to send by multiple enlisted soldiers this last embed. Note, enlisted: not officers, not senior NCOs, but enlisted. Grunts, line animals, the guys on the sharp end. The guys who are walking among and working with Iraqis every day and helping them not just rebuild, but build new and better lives and communities. The guys who watch Iraqis pay a price for jaws flapping here that creates violence and problems there. The guys who catch the packet as well when jaws flapping here creates violence and problems there. The summation is, Iraq and the lives involved are NOT a political football for your use, and what you say is heard and acted upon there. I like the way one of them put it: "Please tell them to just shut the f**k up!" Your words do have power, and are getting people hurt and killed, and making it harder, far harder than it should be, to get the job done so they can come home and leave something good behind.

This makes me wonder what Hillary meant when she said that she knows for a fact that they listen to every word she says. Who? The terrorists or the Iraqi government? Who in the hell is Hillary talking to, anyway?

The Flatulating KOSmonoffs Trick Didn't Work?

It seems as though the "influences" of the Leftinistra moonbats ain't quite as far reaching as they hallucinate they are, eh?

Despite urging from some activists like Daily Kos' Markos Moulitsas that Michigan Democrats vote for Mitt Romney over John McCain, CNN exit polling indicates the Arizona Republican won the liberal vote.

McCain captured 41 percent of Democrats who voted in the Republican primary, 10 points more than Romney. Mike Huckabee meanwhile, only captured 14 percent of Democrats.

Though the Democratic primary race was rendered essentially meaningless after party sanctions, few Democrats decided to vote in the Republican primary - according to the exit polling, Democrats only constituted 7 percent of the vote in that contest. [...] read the rest

The Era of Reagan Is Not Over; Conservativism Ain't Dead!

If you missed the Rush Limbaugh Show Tuesday, January 15, 2008, or if you were dozing or distracted, you need to read this transcript!

Rush was armed by an interview with Newt Gingrich and triggered by a call from a Moron. The resulting rant was one of the best ever, if not the absolute best. Here is a small sample to whet your appetite for wisdom.

You know, all this sounds like Third Way kind of talk, the triangulation of the Clinton years in the nineties. But I don’t know what the McCain era would be, and I don’t know what the Huckabee coalition is. They don’t have a coalition. They’re out trying to get votes of independents and Democrats. They’re pandering to moderates and independents. Folks, I just want you to think about this: What happens if either of these two guys happen to win, attracting the votes of independents, moderates, the Jell-Os, and Democrats? Does that not equal the demise of the Republican Party?

You feel a deep sense of common cause with oppressed groups, such as Hispanic immigrants (except for Cuban-Americans fleeing Castro).

You believe that a mother's wishes for her child, especially a mother's last, dying wish for her child, should outweigh the wishes of a father who had long before deserted his family (unless the child is named Elian Gonzalez).

You think people in south Florida, who can't figure out how to work a butterfly ballot, ought to have the final say in choosing the president of the United States.

You have no problem with Hollywood movie stars flying around in private jets to give speeches on the evils of SUVs.

You think that raising taxes will reduce the budget deficit.

You deplore prejudice and bigotry in all its forms, but think that everyone in the "red states" is an idiot.

You think that the really dangerous McCarthy was Joe, not Eugene.

You blame the Unabomber's parents.

You fail to see the connection between Lenin and Lennon.

You have ever agreed with Martin Sheen or Barbara Streisand.

You refuse to admit that you're a leftist, and accuse anyone of calling you a leftist of McCarthyism.

Tonight's Michigan Primary Predictions From The Blogosphere

~Snooper~

See Sonlit's take here:

See Michelle Malkin's take here:

Who will be correct and what surprises are in store for us all? Will the KOSmonoffs screw things up?

"The polls are open and time’s a-wastin'. If Romney can't win on his home court then he can't win anywhere, and I can't believe he can't win anywhere. Mitt in an upset, with a 50% chance of tears during the victory speech when he inevitably says something about Michigan having - oof - "brought home the gold." Chance of tears from Hugh Hewitt? 100%." -- Allahpundit, Hot Air


Republicans

John McCain - 30%
Mitt Romney - 29%
Mike Huckabee - 21%
Fred Thompson - 8%
Ron Paul - 7%
Rudy Giuliani - 4%
Duncan Hunter - 1%

Hillary Clinton - 63%
Barack Obama - 20%
John Edwards - 10%
Dennis Kucinich - 2%
Others - 5% -- Election Projection


"As polls open in Michigan, I'm going to go on and call it. I say Mitt Romney wins Michigan today, which is going to make him extremely competitive going into Super Tuesday." -- Erick Erickson, Redstate


"Final polls give a tight edge to Mitt Romney in the Michigan primary January 15th and even supporters of Sen. John McCain privately conceded to me that the former Massachusetts governor superior organization and funding gives him an advantage in the balloting.

But given the closeness of their contest and the fact that this is primary in which voters choose to participate in either the Republlican or Democratic balloting, no one will bet the farm that a Romney win--and with it, the survival of his campaign to fight another day--is fait accompli." -- John Gizzi, Human Events

Hold on folks...this is going to be a bumpy ride!

Others:

Label Free Zone Huckabee beats Romney, McCain wins

Coldheartedtruth C.H. and I are close, our predictions are running neck and neck.

NB Politico Giuliani in double-figures.

Kingdom of Chaos El Jefe says the homeboy will win.

The Political Tipster Odds favor McCain but predictions swing toward Romney.

The American Princess will be covering things live...

It seems as though there is light turn-out in Michigan

CQ just chimed in:

Romney - 30%
McCain - 28%
Huckabee - 17%
Giuliani - 12%
Thompson - 6%
Paul - 4%

Fred Is Replenished and Surging

~Snooper~

Fred Thompson's campaign last evening did the trick and gained more than their on-line goal of $1M! Now, we see Fred is surging now that the Hillaryboomers are saying that Hillary can beat Thompson.

While we wait and see what kind of damage Fred will inflict on the Hillary floundering, Fred came out today and has this to say on McCain...

The above video is located at our video site:

As Jawa says:

Should you be inclined to bump that number a little higher, you can do so here.

US Diplomats Targeted By Terrorists In Beirut [UPDATED]

~Snooper~

HT A Blog For All

Beirut bomb hits U.S. embassy car

A car bomb targeted a U.S. diplomatic vehicle in Beirut on Wednesday, killing at least three people, but the U.S. State Department said no Americans were hurt in the blast. [...]

Official: 4 Killed, U.S. Vehicle Targeted in Beirut Blast

An explosion targeted a U.S. Embassy vehicle Tuesday in northern Beirut, killing four Lebanese and injuring a local embassy employee just ahead of a farewell reception for the American ambassador, U.S. and Lebanese officials said. [...]

Could this be a distraction maneuver? Wait and see, folks.

[UPDATE]

From Counterterrorism Blog:

[...] Retired Lebanese Col. Charbel Barakat, speaking on behalf of the World Council of the Cedars Revolution, considers this terrorist act as directed by Hezbollah's war room against the United States and Lebanese citizens. "It is an act of terror ordered by Tehran's Pasdaran against a U.S. diplomatic target in Lebanon as President Bush is visiting the region. It should be investigated by both Lebanese and international authorities." Col. Barakat warns of further terrorist attacks by Hezbollah against U.S. personnel and targets in Lebanon.

Interesting, ain't it? But Iran is such a peace-loving nation, no?

The Iraq War No Longer An Issue Because...

~Snooper~

In Hillary's own words as the campaign began about 100 years ago, as it seems, was that the Troops would be in Iraq for quite some time. Then, she claimed responsibility for The "Bush" Troop Surge because the Iraqis listen to "every word I say"...such a putz this woman is.

Then, JWF comes out with this today:

In Iraq Until 2018?

[...] That's simply paying lip service to their antiwar constituents. The reality is if they were to pull our forces out quickly and it turned into a mess and an Iranian proxy, that Democrat is almost sure to be a one-termer. (read the rest)

The source for this post is here:

Iraq's defense minister said on Monday his country would need foreign military help to defend its borders for another 10 years and would not be able to maintain internal security until 2012.

Abdul Qadir's remarks, in an interview with The New York Times posted on the newspaper's Internet site, could become an issue in the U.S. presidential campaign.

"According to our calculations and our timelines, we think that from the first quarter of 2009 until 2012 we will be able to take full control of the internal affairs of the country," Qadir said.

"In regard to the borders, regarding protection from any external threats, our calculation appears that we are not going to be able to answer to any external threats until 2018 to 2020," he said.

President George W. Bush has said U.S. troops may have to stay in Iraq for years but most presidential candidates, especially Democrats, would like them to withdraw much faster.

The Drive-by media and the Socialist Democrats wanting to ruin this nation are deafly silent on this.

Bush wins again!

Troop Draw Down In Iraq Being Discussed

~Snooper~

Sec Rice is in the Big B discussing the American Troop withdrawals soon coming IAW The Plan of General Petraeus and not the idiot and liar Hillary Cinton:

[...] "Rice expressed the U.S. administration's relief over development of Iraq's political process and the parliament's efforts, particularly after the adoption of the accountability & justice draft law," Dabbagh said in statements to reporters after the Maliki-Rice meeting on Tuesday.

BREAKING: Fred Raises $1,019,593 Since The SC Debate

~Snooper~

My apologies goes out to my friend Hawk at Wake Up America blog for posting the satire piece on Fred Thompson. I hope your blood pressure is down to acceptable levels. Hawk's email to be was interesting and I enclose it below with all due anonymity before we get into the Good News from the Fred Camp...Fred ain't done yet so put those forks away...before I sick Hawk on yas...

Ok, heart attack crisis is over now that I've gotten past the reference line. Who do I shoot, now, for nearly sending me over the edge...lol

Sorry, Hawk.

Now, for the Good News! Via email earlier today, I have received the following:

Because of your generosity we are $29,711 away from reaching our $1 million goal. Some FredHeads on the blog thought of a great way to make sure we meet our mark. At 10:00 local time give $10 to Fred's campaign.

If 2971 FredHeads give only $10 we will reach this important milestone and give Fred the resources to continue spreading his consistent conservative message in South Carolina, Florida, and across the Super Tuesday states.

So when 10:00 comes around add $10 to the red truck. You will have done your part to meet our $1 million goal and help Fred win the Republican nomination.

Please help Fred out--and thank you!

Sincerely,

Bill

William B. Lacy
Campaign Manager

Blast over to the site and check the $$$$$$$ PILING in! Now sitting at $1,019,593 since the South Carolina Debate.

Keep the Little Red Truck going folks! It is the best chance we have to help our veterans and keep our nation safe. Hopefully, Fred will choose Duncan Hunter as his running mate and the libtards will move OUT if the USA like they said they were going to do if GWB got elected and then re-elected.

Let's help them leave the country that they hate so much, shall we?

$10 at 10 is going on now...DIG DEEP you country bumpkins and rebels! Take a stand! Surely you can dig that deep to keep the likes of Liberal Republicans and Socialist Democrats OUT of the White House!

BREAKING: Fred Withdraws!

~Snooper~

From Scrappleface:

(2008-01-14) - Republican Fred Thompson announced today he has pulled out of the race to set pre-primary expectations through media-driven political polling.

Former Sen. Thompson said he's committed to winning the Republican nomination for president, and then the White House, but would no longer allow his name to stand in public opinion polls funded by newspapers and cable news outlets.

"The mainstream media shape public opinion about the candidates through their decidedly-liberal news coverage," said Mr. Thompson, "and then they turn around and ask people what they think of those candidates. Well, if you feed slop to a pig, what do you think you're going to shovel up later?"

The attorney who has also starred in movies and TV's"“Law & Order", asked, "Do we really want The New York Times and the Washington Post to tell the Republican party whom we ought to pick to run against Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama?"

Mr. Thompson added, "If you polled the San Diego Chargers, before the AFC title game, do you think they'd choose Tom Brady to quarterback the Patriots?"

CLASSIC FRED!!

Canadian Inquisition

KEITH BONNELL

Alberta human rights commission

Keith Bonnell wrote an excellent article, Commentator defends publishing controversial Muslim cartoons, about the case of Ezra Levant , who, as publisher of the Western Standard magazine, made eight of the infamous Danish Cartoons available to Canadian readers.

Ezra Levant has been hauled before the Alberta Human Rights Council to give account of his offense to Islam. A second complaint has been lodged against him for republishing the cartoons on his blog in answer to the complaint.

Mr. Levant videotaped the inquisition and has posted videos on his blog. He also posted a transcript of his opening statement and a copy of the original complaint. I urge you to read those documents. His statement is one of the best and clearest expressions of the right to free speech.

In theory, it can't happen here in the U.S.A., because of first amendment protection. In reality, it can and probably will, because of the corruption of our Judicial system. We owe it to ourselves and to futurity to stand up and scream curses, disrespectfully demanding the preservation of our rights before that happens.

The chief proponent of censorship is the United Nations, which resolved to ban criticism of Islam Dec. 24 last. Now is the time to get the U.S.A. out of the U.N. and the U.N. out of the U.S.A., while we still have the right to petition for redress of grievances. If you have not yet endorsed the Quit the U.N. petition, please do so now and email it to all your friends, asking them to endorse it and pass it on. Likewise the Outlaw Islam petition. The liberty you save will be your own, passed down to your children and grandchildren.

Hillary Takes Credit For The Troop Surge [UPDATED]

~Snooper~

BITCH! BITCH! THE BITCH IS BACK! BITCH! BITCH! THE BITCH IS BACK!

OK. This is what we have been expecting for quite some time. As the Defeatocrats ignore the successes of the Troop Surge and Victory in Iraq is imminent, the Leftinistra have been consorting and their Spin Machines have come up with a plan...pretend they were for the Troop Surge and take all credit for the Victory in Iraq. I have written about this on my "old blog" Take Our Country Back and I will dig up those posts and place them here fairly soon.

HT to Gateway Pundit for the data here presented for our readers and subscribers:

It Has Begun...Hillary Takes Credit For Surge She Opposed!!

Imagine that. To set the damn record straight, please recall that the Defeatocrats INCLUDING Czarina the Budding Leninist opposed the Bush Troop Surge from the beginning. Hillary's "sudden" turn around and accepting the credit for the successes of the Bush Troop Surge requires the willful suspension of disbelief, as she herself said about General Petraeus' testimony before the CONgress way back in September of 2007. Remember that one? This is unbelievable but it has been expected.

From Gateway: (we at A Newt One concur)

Judith Apter Kliinghoffer at the History News Network posted this amazing attempt by Hillary Clinton on Meet the Press to take credit for the success in Iraq even though she opposed the Bush Surge that brought about this success:

MR. RUSSERT: If General Petraeus says, "Senator, in September you called the surge the suspension of belief. It has worked, and you know it's worked"--let me finish--"you can see on the ground. I'm saying to you, Senator, or president-elect Clinton, don't destroy Iraq. It's working, the surge is working. Keep troops there just a few more months to get this reconciliation complete."

SEN. CLINTON: ...The point of the surge was to quickly move the Iraqi government and Iraqi people. That is only now beginning to happen, and I believe in large measure because the Iraqi government, they watch us, they listen to us. I know very well that they follow everything that I say. And my commitment to begin withdrawing our troops in January of 2009 is a big factor, as it is with Senator Obama, Senator Edwards, those of us on the Democratic side. It is a big factor in pushing the Iraqi government to finally do what they should have been doing all along.

Amazing!She voted to surrender Iraq with the rest of the Democrats-- a move that would have brought total destruction to the country.
Now, she wants to take credit for its success!
Truly, amazing!

Today, Hillary Clinton also blasted antiwar Barak Obama on the War in Iraq.

And, yet here's a look at Hillary Clinton's many stands on Iraq:

video here

I, Snooper, have willfully suspended my disbelief. Simply amazing how so many will swallow this creeps' bullshit lockstep and goosestep.

Hillary Clinton on October 2, 2002:

"So it is with conviction that I support this resolution as being in the best interest of our nation. A vote for it is not a vote to rush to war. It is a vote that puts awesome responsibility in the hands of our president."

Hillary Clinton on February 7, 2007:

"Nearly four years ago our president rushed us into war in Iraq."

Yet today, this troubled and dishonest politician is bashing antiwar Barak Obama for his stand against the war we are now winning.

Hillary also attacked Barak Obama for raising the race issue!

Who wants change?

This woman is certainly NOT ready for the Big Times and is clearly unfit for command.
