McCain to Paul--"Let Us Win!" (Updated with Music)

I take back every bad thing I ever said about Senator John McCain, and if he makes it on the ticket, I will vote for him just on the merits of his nuking Ron Paul.When someone finally posts the exchange to You Tube, I will make it a permenet part of my sidebar, and will try to make it into a flash movie, or a gif with sound. I don't know how to do those things, but for this, I will.Jim has a video of it on his site, Gateway Pundit, but he uses Motion Box, which sucks because I can't embed it over here, or download it.However, I have lifted the...

Iraqi Awakening

WASHINGTON (AFIS, Nov. 26, 2007) - Determined to rise up against al Qaeda terrorists, concerned local citizens, working together with coalition forces, have started neighborhood watch programs in northern Iraq.The citizens are calling the movement "Sahwa," an Arabic term that means "awakening."The neighborhood watch programs were established Nov. 14, two weeks after local citizens approached Soldiers of the 10th Mountain Division's 1st Brigade Combat Team, 1st Battalion, 87th Infantry Regiment, with the idea. More than 1,000 citizens showed up,...

Press Release--
Illegal Aliens Should Not Be Admitted to State-Supported Community Colleges

RALEIGH --North Carolina's community college system has ordered the state's 58 campuses to admit illegal immigrants, overturning a policy of letting the heavily enrolled schools set their own rules for handling undocumented applicants.David Sullivan, the system's top lawyer, dispatched a memo this month telling the community colleges that state regulations require the schools to admit illegal immigrants who meet the schools' basic requirements of being either a high school graduate or an adult in need of skills training."That's just wrong," said...

Do Your Job Ron Moore!

Police charged Leonard Smith with first degree sexual offense and statutory rape. But family members of the alleged victims say Smith will walk into the courtroom today and plead guilty to seven counts of indecent liberties with a minor. A lesser charge.The maximum punishment for first degree sexual offense and statutory rape is life imprisonment. With the plea bargain, Smith is only likely to get less than 16 months.These family members are furious and held a protest against the plea bargain. They say Leonard Smith is politically connected with...

Third Annual French Intifada Underway in Paris

Barely three hours before Anne-Lorraine was stabbed, ten kilometres away, in Villiers-le-Bel, two joyriding immigrant youths of 15 and 16 years old, drove their stolen motorcycle at maximum speed into a passing police vehicle. They died on the spot.According to the police the teenagers ignored traffic rules and crashed into the police vehicle. The motorbike they were riding was unregistered and thus not authorized for use on French roads. Neither...

New Poll Has the HildaBeast Losing vs all GOP Candidates
Barack Obama Winning versus all GOP Candidates

For a change of pace, I'll link to the DUmmies:This is very significant if true - and this is Zogby's Interactive Poll -- but if the general forecast is true then Obama is polling about 6 points ahead of the entire GOP field while Clinton's policy and baggage are pulling her down to a 4% loss to ALL GOPers. She is now about 10 points less electable than Barack, and it is now more likely that she would lose rather than win, polling only around 40%.Clinton would be an electoral disaster for the Democratic Party is what these numbers are saying while...

Are Ron Pal Supporters Planning Bloodless Coup in North Carolina and the Nation?

Katy's Conservative Corner has obtained e-mail between Ron Paul Supporters planning to become delegates to the North Carolina GOP Convention.An excerpt:The delegates to the county conventions are chosen at the precinct level. Most precincts are not organized, and preference is given to republicans who attend who wish to be delegates. So, for example, if you were a new republican went to the precinct convention in Charles Taylor's precinct, (sic) said you wanted to to be a delegate and he did not attend, you would get the seat. The same is true...

MSNBC Lies About Papal Homily,

This is posted especially for those opposed to the Global War on Terror, to show you that you have been lied to about this war by the Media since Day One!The Pope's words according to MSNBC:Pope Benedict, elevating 23 prelates from around the world to the elite rank of cardinal, made a pressing appeal on Saturday for an end to the war in Iraq and decried the plight of the country's Christian minority...Speaking of Delly during the ceremony in St Peter's Basilica, Benedict said Christians in Iraq were "feeling with their own flesh the dramatic...

Victory in Iraq--The Real Surge

While the "surge" of five US brigades plus their accompanying support elements, about 30,000 US troops total, is the main focus of commentators when discussing the current situation in Iraq, the real surge in Iraq is happening behind the scenes. The rapidly expanding Iraqi Army is where the real surge in forces is occurring.In November 2006, Prime Minister Maliki understated the real surge when he announced the increase of the Iraqi Army beyond...

Asheville IndyMedia Call Ron Paul a Liar

You know things are looking bad for your candidate when even the Socialists and Anarchists "Pile On!"Anyway I believe my posts below from offshorebusiness.com message board this weekend explain my feelings about Ron Paul aiding James Davidson's et.al.'s 'naked short claim' penny stock frauds.Further I would remind Mr.Paul that his own state is harboring penny stock criminals making the same false claims as he and his corrupt penny stock tout 'Libertarians'.Houston attorneys John O'Quinn and James Wes Christian have dumped worthless shares of Jag...

Black News for Black Friday--The Syrian Bomb

About ten weeks ago, Israel carried out a precision bombing raid on what everyone has (publicly) presumed was a nuclear reactor under construction. One thing set my internal alarms off was the near complete absence of protest. The Syrians were quiet, even the United Nations were relatively quiet on this one.I presumed it was because of the ease with which Israel penetrated the best Missile Radar Defense Systems that Russia could provide, the same systems that Iran was boasting about that would prevent Israel or the USA from attacking Iran's own...

Americans are a grateful people, ever mindful of the many ways we have been blessed. On Thanksgiving Day, we lift our hearts in gratitude for the freedoms we enjoy, the people we love and the gifts of our prosperous land.Our country was founded by men and women who realized their dependence on God and were humbled by His providence and grace.The early explorers and settlers who arrived in this land gave thanks for God’s protection and for the extraordinary natural abundance they found.

West Carolina Report for Nov 21

I have posted the morning updates for West Carolina Report, and this post will serve as comment thread for items in the news today as well as open thread.I can't believe that Giga Tuesday is almost upon us...and I wonder why North Carolina's Primary is still stuck way out in May, when the nomination is almost always in a lock, especially in the modern era.This means, to my way of reckoning, that the Primary Season in North Carolina is about nothing...

Media Matters and Its Nanny

Ever since Hillary Clinton boasted at the Yearly Kos convention this summer that Media Matters was indeed her own brainchild, I've been subscribing to the group's daily, vital, emergency, vast-right-wing-conspiracy alerts. So for several months now, a half-dozen Media Matters email screeds have landed in my inbox every day on various topics, all claiming to have unearthed scandalous falsehoods in conservative news outlets, as well as the mainstream media. Since I've actually listened to some of the radio talk being assailed, and read much of...

From AMIA To Armageddon

According to foreign reports, Israel destroyed a nuclear weapons installation in Syria in September. Never has a larger story been pushed under the rug by so many so quickly. What are we to make of this?Over the weekend former federal prosecutor and the head of the non-governmental International Intelligence Summit, John Loftus, released a report on Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction program. His report was based on a private study of captured Iraqi documents. These were the unread Arabic language documents that US forces seized, but had not managed...

Ron Paul is a Useful Man for Democrats

The Ron Paul story never seems to end -- and yet never seems to quite make it into the mainstream media. That's because, in the political equivalent of a bank shot, Paul's fringe support helps bleach embarrassing stains from the Democrats.First there is the revelation that Jim C Perry, the "Orthodox Jewish" head of "Jews for Paul" also calls himself a gay pagan Unitarian.Now it turns out that Perry, Paul's point man in response to questions raised...

Life Returns to Normal in Baghdad

BAGHDAD—Since the last soldiers of the "surge" deployed last May, Baghdad has undergone a remarkable transformation.No longer do the streets empty at dusk. Liquor stores and cinemas have reopened for business. Some shops stay open until late into the evening. Children play in parks, young women stay out after dark, restaurants are filled with families and old men sit at sidewalk cafes playing backgammon and smoking shisha pipes.To be sure, Baghdad is still a violent and dangerous place. Pockets of territory remain under the control of the Al Qaeda...

More on the Ron Paul Messiah Complex

At first, I thought it was cute, if sad, the losers on overpasses with their mothers bedsheets flapping in the wind with their love letters to Ron Paul spray painted on them for the world to witness.The, these retards started gaming internet polls, calling for their members to go mob polls on websites to tilt the numbers in favor of their man. That is a dishonest act, sort of like ACORN or other groups who falsely register and often bus people to the polls on election day. This, I believe, reveals something about their character. That so many...

Android - An Open Handset Alliance Project

The much whispered about Google Phone is here, except it isn't a phone...it's an open-source code for use on phones that will be built by other people, sort of what Microsoft is for computers.

A Strategy For Hillary in 2008

The only way that Hillary Clinton can become the next President of the United States is if the Republican Party is divided like it was when her husband, William "BJ" Clinton was elected in 1992.Here is a little known (or acknowledged) fact about those elections...if it were not for H. Ross Perot running as a Third Party Candidate, William J. Clinton would have lost the election nearly as badly as did George McGovern in 1972.Here are the numbers from the top ten states (plus the District of Columbia) percentage wise for Clinton:Source for numbers:...
