Julia Ward Howe’s accomplishments did not end with the writing of her famous poem, “The Battle Hymn of the Republic.”

Mother’s Day Proclamation - 1870 by Julia Ward Howe

Arise then…women of this day! Arise, all women who have hearts! Whether your baptism be of water or of tears! Say firmly: “We will not have questions answered by irrelevant agencies, Our husbands will not come to us, reeking with carnage, For caresses and applause. Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn All that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy and patience. We, the women of one country, Will be too tender of those of another country To allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs.”

From the voice of a devastated Earth a voice goes up with Our own. It says: “Disarm! Disarm! The sword of murder is not the balance of justice.” Blood does not wipe our dishonor, Nor violence indicate possession. As men have often forsaken the plough and the anvil At the summons of war, Let women now leave all that may be left of home For a great and earnest day of counsel. Let them meet first, as women, to bewail and commemorate the dead. Let them solemnly take counsel with each other as to the means Whereby the great human family can live in peace… Each bearing after his own time the sacred impress, not of Caesar, But of God - In the name of womanhood and humanity, I earnestly ask That a general congress of women without limit of nationality, May be appointed and held at someplace deemed most convenient And the earliest period consistent with its objects, To promote the alliance of the different nationalities, The amicable settlement of international questions, The great and general interests of peace.

Dedicated to Roseanne, Margaret and Rose Elizabeth

It doesn’t matter if the future of the country is on the line, if our national security is in danger, no, all the sniveling Coward cartoonist^^ can think of is politics.

McCain: “I would rather lose an election than a war.”

And here I thought that was simple enough for even idiots to understand.

I guess not^^, huh?

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ®.

Um, vindication:

{{{The manufacturer of the potent painkiller OxyContin and three current and former executives at the company pleaded guilty Thursday to falsely marketing the drug in a way that played down its addictive properties and caused scores of people to become addicted, prosecutors said. The Purdue Frederick Co. and its chief executive, top lawyer and former medical chief agreed to pay a total of $635 million to resolve charges filed by the U.S. attorney in the Western District of Virginia, who called OxyContin “one of our nation’s greatest prescription-drug failures.”-Urinal}}}

Guess who’s name the sniveling Coward liberals are being real quite about. Not even a mention in their candy as-s article^^.

Limbaugh.

Gosh, I wonder why?

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ®.

{{{Mr. Sarkozy also did something with Ms. Royal that might be usefully remembered by Mrs. Clinton’s foes. Ms. Royal, when the unexpected happened—“Calm down!”—showed she wasn’t so good at improvising. She didn’t react with any tactical grace. This reminded me of Mrs. Clinton, who also seems unsure and unsteady when pushed off script or put at the mercy of happenstance. She can’t rely on her instincts, because deep down she knows her instincts are no match for her will. She’s not light on her feet. Her foes would do well to keep this in mind.}}}

This is how Hillary will exit stage left, maybe before the end of the year. Right now she hides behind the wall of propaganda from the pinko media but eventually she will have to answer questions or face a debate. That is when her true simplistic, animal like ignorance will be fully displayed and all the rest of you people will be repulsed by this pig like I am.

Gosh, this sounds so familiar.

I wonder who I’m thinking of?

{{{But Republican committee members largely supported Mr Gonzales and called for an end to the investigation, easing pressure on one of President George W. Bush’s closest political allies. “The list of accusations has mushroomed, but the evidence has not,” said Lamar Smith, the senior Republican committee member. “If there are no fish in this lake, we should reel in our lines of questions, dock our empty boat and turn to more pressing issues.”}}}

{{{The measure that was defeated was a bill sponsored by Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass., a member of the “Out of Iraq” caucus of progressive Democrats. The bill called for pulling out U.S. troops within 90 days and completing the withdrawal within six months. The measure failed by a heavily partisan vote of 255-171.” And I’m telling you that where the rubber meets the road, right now here in Washington, Republicans are united, Democrats are divided. Period.” Snow said. “If you want disunity, there’s far more disunity on the Democratic side.”}}}

No normal person wants to be known forever as a sniveling Coward.

Well I see you’re happy couple have evolved into Republicans ml. Good deal! We’ve always known it was a “real war”, the liberals are at war with America.

Oh noooooo, he didn’t, did he? Why yes…I think he did.

(((Democrats hoping to win control of the White House in 2008 must seize the “golden opportunity” presented by failures in the war in Iraq and rethink their approach to national security, according to a security analyst and former staffer for Vice President Al Gore.)))

(((If Bush’s “surge” strategy works in restoring order to Iraq, Franc said, “it’s almost in a political sense a bottomless pit for the Democratic Party because they’ve staked so much of their political future on things failing in Iraq.”)))

(((Franc also argued that embracing a more hawkish position on national security and the spreading of freedom would alienate “a very loud wing” of the Democratic Party, referring to the segment of the party represented by people like Moore, Sheehan, and the activists behind MoveOn.org.)))

O.K., so let us analyze this. The Democrats are stuck somewhere between Iraq and that bunch of liberal “Rocks” or “Rawks” in the Midori vernacular.

This is how CNN puts it online:

While Democrat leaders are working to “retain the backing of anti-war members”, Republicans have publicly stepped up the pressure on the president for progress in Iraq.

Democrats are pushing to “retain” backing (gain votes) and Republicans are pushing for “progress” in Iraq.

I’m really not that much into polls, but Democrats sure are. In a poll run on Monday, AP-Ipsos found that “Congress’ approval is the same as Bush’s”.

Thank you for mentioning Julia Ward Howe and her patriotic anthem, “The Battle Hymn of the Republic”.

This is my favorite stanza:

In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea, With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me: As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free, While God is marching on.

So many reports of what “spreading freedom throughout Iraq” really means to the Iraqis themselves, such as:

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) — Criticism mounted Saturday over a wall U.S. troops are building around a Sunni enclave surrounded by Shiite areas in Baghdad, with residents calling it “collective punishment” and the local council leader saying the community did not approve the project before construction began.

And this:

The daily life the middle class describe is an obstacle course of gasoline lines, blocked roads and late-night generator repairs. In these families’ homes, the talk is mostly about leaving. “For Sale” signs dot the gates of the houses on their block.

And the GOP cheerleaders continue their “RAH-RAH-RAH” for their visionary war-mongering leaders…

Luck,

Anyone with a brain knows that Congressional approval polls are, at a minimum, deceptive. First, everyone recognizes that if the question were asked: Do you approve of YOUR congressman? Then the results will be much much higher. On average it would likely be double the president’s. Second, if you asked Democrats to assess the performance of the Democratic majority then the numbers would be much higher. The same would be the case if you asked Republicans about the minority and very low numbers would be had if members of one party were asked to rate the other party’s performance. All of this being said, you, the pollsters and no one else really knows what that approval number means. Is it democrats and independents frustrated that Congrees won’t just cut off funding for the war? Is it democrats upset because the repubs won’t join in a bitartisan solution? Are republicans disapproving across the board because the other party is in charge? You just don’t know. What we do know is that if the voters are asked “who do you trust on the war, the president or congress?”, the numbers strongly favor congress. Almost 2 to 1.

The point is that the idiot you support is at a ridiculously low approval rating and has been for almost a full year, his own party is about to throw him off the ship, he will be judged as the worst president of all-time, he may end up prosecuted, and all you can say is that maybe someone else is almost as bad as the president, whom you support like a 4 year old defending his daddy. It is weak, pathetic and frankly ignorant.

You said above that the addictive properties of Oxycotin are “VINDICATION” for Rush breaking the law!

Ohh that’s good - I can see every Drug User in jail using that same defense tomorrow.. “Uhhh — yeah - I broke the law and stole dat’ TV because the Crack made me do it.”

What your link doesn’t say:

“Limbaugh’s doctor had prescribed the Viagra, but it was “labeled as being issued to the physician rather than Mr. Limbaugh for privacy purposes,” Roy Black, Limbaugh’s attorney, said in a statement.”

Sad that Republican support for the war in Iraq is only tied to its use as a political weapon to help win elections…

It worked in 2002 and 2004 but unraveled in 2006.

In 2008, many more Republican seats are up for election than Dem seats and that is not good for the GOP. In other words…the Congress will stay in Dem control. Count on it…

AND, the GOP’s best chance to retain the Presidency is pro-choice, pro-gun control, pro-gay marriage and thrice married.

Methinks the ‘family values’ line is going to have to be revised…

No Andy - you are not right - But your buddy Rush broke the law and on top of that is a Big Fat Talking Points Hippo-Crit.. I’m not so concerned about his Viagra, I think thats fine if thats what he needs to get it up.

But he broke the law by “Doctor Shopping”. His lawyers even used a very “Liberal” defense to get his bus out of the fire. Even more hypocrasy!

Rush has signed the agreement and his lawyer had this very liberal statement, “”This is a common sense resolution and the appropriate way the state should treat people who have admitted an addiction to prescription pain medication and voluntarily sought treatment,” Limbaugh’s attorney, Roy Black, said in a statement Monday to The Associated Press.”

Now — If your not a hipocrit too and you believe in what Rush’s Lawyers said about addiction, then I will join with you in sending this as a Bill to congress!

OK, I will qualify that a bit.

Actually, ALL gold star mothers and fathers cry for the loss of their sons and daughters, no matter their politics. Most understand the great love of country and freedom for which these volunteers gave their lives.

Ok Dusty — So Now you have sympathy for Cindy Sheehan, the Tilmans, etc?

Dusty - If you look at the Cartoon carefully you will note that “Republican Party” is listed amongst the dead of Iraq on the memorial wall. I am pretty sure that ML was saying the “Republican Party” is just another casualty of this war.

Now I ask you since you claim to be so patriotic..

What’s the difference between the deaths of 3000+ Americans in a single terrorist strike (9-11), -=versus=- the death of 3000+ Americans killed over a series of terrorist strikes (Iraq).

To me every terrorist strike in Iraq against our soldiers STILL IS a terrorist attack on the USA.

The only real difference between you and me in fighting terrorism - is you support these continuous terroristic acts by putting our soldiers in harms way and wasting national resources for no good reason other than to nation build in someone else’s country, and I support bringing our troops home and strengthening our national defenses against future attacks and other problems that affect OUR country!.

I agreed 100% with going into Afghanistan and going after Bin A’hole-laden - but not this “wag the dog” war we have “created” in Iraq.

Personally I would be happy if we pulled the troops out of Iraq, let them get rested then re-deployed them in Afghanistan, but sadly that’s not even tactically feasable as the long ocupation there has decayed our mission of success. The Taliban have re-established their clout and have many sympathizers now. Our long term stay there will be about as successful as Russia’s occupation of Afghanistan.

Iraq (and the middle-east in general) has a far different culture than us. Their concepts of freedom are no where near the same as ours. Occupation of any of their lands is definitly not considered freedom, nor is setting up a government designed by the laws of Christianity going to fit in with their culture. The Iraq you see today will be back to tribal warlords and rulers within 10 years no matter what.

Some great world we have created —

But at least Dusty I will give you credit on one thing - you and @@ do reason out things more than your fellow GOP bloggers.. And can at least debate the issues once in a while.

If the manufacturer of Oxcyontin has just admitted that they intentionally hid the addictive qualities of the drug from the public, how can Rush Limbaugh be expected to be punished for his “choices”?

I thought he took painkillers because he was in pain, and the drug he was prescribed by his doctor was Oxycontin.

Rush bought narcotics from his housekeeper (who is not a physician) in cigar boxes in a gas station parking lot…

Rush enlisted multiple doctors to prescribe the same painkillers…

It is against the law to buy prescription painkillers from your housekeeper and it is against the law to doctor shop.

Seriously, you must have never met a drug addict before - and many drug addicts aren’t scary people who live under bridges and walk around mumbling to themselves.

Rush is a drug addict and took Oxycotin because those make you feel REALLY GOOD!!!!! Doctors know the possible addictive consequences of those types of drugs, that’s why most responsible doctors are very careful when they prescribe them…it’s the drug addicts that do anything to get them.

It’s okay to defend Rush, I refuse to make fun of addicts, even Rush, but admit he’s a drug addict…it’s okay, just don’t look over the real issue.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but can’t you become addicted to a pain killer because your body requires higher and higher doses to kill the pain?

I have friends who were in really bad car accidents and I don’t think they take these drugs because “it feels really good”. I think they are in a lot of pain and the drugs are the only things that makes their pain bearable.

By ABS

May 11, 2007 12:12 PM | Link to this

TA, I don’t know, I’m not a doctor. Chances are though, your friends are addicts, and believe me, I don’t mean that as an insult. I’ve had close friends and close family members ruin their lives with drugs. Pain killers are a very powerful drug, and I’m not going to pretend that I know the chemistry behind it. But it would make sense that they would require higher doses as their bodies get used to it. Alcoholics need more and more alcohol to get drunk, drug addicts need more drugs to get high or kill pain…it’s the same thing.

Believe me, I’m not making fun of your friends, but I’ve heard many people who are addicted to one thing or another…cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, etc. blame everything and everybody but themselves, and that is the real issue at hand.

Like I said, I absolutely deplore people like Rush Limbaugh, but that is something that I would never make fun of him for…being stupid…yes, but not for being an addict. That’s going below the belt.

By I did some Oxy

May 11, 2007 12:12 PM | Link to this

I was in a wreck. I know.

When you start to take more Oxy than is prescribed you have two choices - talk to your Doctor about pain management or begin abusing.

Rush may have spoken to his Doc, but he broke the law when he began abusing and buying the narcotic outside of the legal marketplace.

I actually enjoy Rush’s show and love the ‘talent on loan from God’ line!

Haven’t tuned in for some time, though…Does he still carp on drug enforcement?

This is a beautiful quote: “Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country. And we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs, using drugs, importing drugs. … And so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up,” - Rush Limbaugh

I understand he also has three failed marriages…Does he ever rail about moral deficiencies and the sanctity of marriage?

Oh, and I heard that at one point in his life he had to collect unemployment…Does he sympathize with others that have required gov’t assistance?

He’s a great entertainer, but if I were a ‘conservative,’ I am not sure I would want this guy speaking for me.

By ABS

May 11, 2007 12:23 PM | Link to this

I guess my point of all that is that someone may be a drug addict, but it doesn’t make them a bad person…they may eventually do bad things to get the drugs, but in my opinion, they are not automatically bad people. I have know alot of “addicts” in my life. Some do okay, others don’t, but just because they are an addict, doesn’t make them bad — it just means they are sick and need some help.

I wouldn’t make fun of anyone with cancer, diabetes, or any other type of disease, and many people who don’t understand addiction think you can just get over it, but that is just really not true.

In my opinion, the whole system within our government is being controlled by greedy elite and powerful individuals and corporations among others, who are systematically exploiting and causing great harm to the American people. These elite and powerful are getting their perks and kickbacks from the ones that put them in office and that are keeping them there to the extent reminiscent of the nazi Gestapo. Americans who are disabled and on Social Security are not actually considered disabled by this government and are expected to payback loans and other bills, some with very high interest and penalty rates that keep adding up while the person is unemployed; thereby turning simple loans and other debts with high fees and other late charges etc. into a nightmare debt no one who is disabled can afford to pay back. Many of these loans and debts triple from their original amount. When will there ever be action or at least and investigation concerning these matters? When are the Courts of this land going to rein in these Federal agencies and elite, rich, and corrupt individuals and corporation among others that today are seen as “above the law”, out of control and filled with corruption. These matters should have already been brought out by the news media and others, but it seems the media and politicians of today are all in bed with these elite, rich and corrupt individuals and corporations, while our government gives billions of dollars in aid around the world to many questionable groups and activies. That aslo wage an unjust war in Iraq costing the American citizens billions and billions of taxpayers dollars that could instead be going to the millions of suffering American people. This government it seems in the area of education, the Department of Education should change its logo to state its real business: “ helping to break up American families and keep our kids in debt”.

William - The sixteenth amendment was most certainly and legally ratified. Income taxes in and of themselves are not a bad idea. However, the flaw in that amendment is that it is opened ended and allows any amount of income up to 100% to be taken. The remedy is to constitutionally limit the percentage of tax which can be extracted from individuals and corporations. Double taxation of corporate incomes and dividends paid to individuals must also end. We should have a constitutional top limit of 33.3%. End of story.

U.S. farmers’ decision to plant “corn in place of other crops to cash in on the ethanol craze” will cost the average American because it will cause the price of other crops to increase. This Congress it seems are watering down a proposed bill that would tighten fuel economy standards, and went as far as to say some changes in the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act that was proposed by the Bush administration makes sense and would refrain from any adverse reaction. Ethanol is an alcohol made from corn, sugar cane, or other plant matter. Ethanol is one method among many others of powering an engine that does not envolve a distilled petroleum product. The growing concerns about the effects of pollution from vehicle exhaust and the Greenhouse effect have greatly increased the interest in ethanol as an alternative fuel. The protroleum industries are vehemently against any source of alternative fuel such as ethanol. But, as many people that are in favor of ethanol far out number the few in the petroleum industries who are strongly against it because oil and gas is that industries life line. But, ethanol would be one alternative fuel that could and would be a reliable way of easying the U.S. dependence on foreign oil and gas supplies.

Death Penalty | Iraq by Sam Bishop, Fairbanks [Alaska] News-Miner

Feb. 16, 2007 WASHINGTON — Rep. Don Young on Thursday added his voice to the speechifying about President Bush’s Iraq policy and bolstered it with what he thought was the voice of President Abraham Lincoln.

The man who Young quoted, though, was not the nation’s 16th president but a professor at a Washington, D.C., graduate school.

“I’d like to make a quote,” Young began after being granted his five minutes on the House floor. “‘Congressmen who willfully take actions during wartime that damage morale and undermine the military are saboteurs and should be arrested, exiled or hanged.’”

The quote, Young said, came from Lincoln, “who had the same problem this president had with a very unpopular war, the same problem with people trying to redirect the commander-in-chief.”

However, the words Young attributed to Lincoln were written by J. Michael Waller, a professor at the Institute of World Politics. They metamorphosed into the illegitimate Lincoln quote on Dec. 23, 2003, in a column that Waller wrote for Insight, a conservative weekly magazine published by the owners of the Washington Times.

In my humble opinion, The Republican Party with people like George Bush are in the process of attemping to establish a Despotism or Oligarchy type of government. This calamity begin in the 1980’s with the election of Ronald Reagan to the Presidency of the United States, and was continued by the election of George Bush Sr., and the elites , rich and powerful within the Republican Party. Their efforts were slowed to some degree by the election of a Democrat William Jefferson Clinton to the President, who brought about the strongest economy this world has ever known. President Clinton greatly improved the lives of nearly all the American people. President Clinton was daily ridicule and demeaned by the Republicans who had control and was in the majority while President Clinton was in office. The Republicans refused to lend a hand at anything Clinton was promoting, and demagoged him throughout his Presidency. But notwithstanding the Republicans, President Clinton for eight tears took the United States to it’s highest plateau of excellence the world has every known.

Nuked People Amerikan (or something)@11:33

Yes, I am patriotic. Aren’t you?

In answer to your question: I sympathize with any family that has lost a child in conflict. That includes the Tillmans and Sheehans. I just disagree with the paths they took with their grief.

As to terrorists, take 9/11. There they killed innocents. In Iraq, terrorists kill our military who are fighting for our way of life.

I believe the President is correct in his view of the future. Terrorists would love to fight us on American streets. They are having to fight us in Iraq.

Saddam had terroristic ways and we were told by our Intelligence service that he had WMDs. The British agreed. Congress approved. We fight in Iraq.

Surely you know that war is not easy. Even ol’ Sherman noted that it was hell. We fight to win this war and we are making sacrifices to do it.

As to Afghanistan, I guess you know that there are almost 31,000 NATO troops there stabilizing that country. 25,000 are Americans.

We are now fighting terrorists where they are, Iraq and Afghanistan. NOT ON AMERICAN HOMELAND.

I hope that your support of American troops is evident. Otherwise you are destroying the morale of the troops and the country.

In my opinion, the whole system within our government is being controlled by greedy elite and powerful individuals and corporations among others, who are systematically exploiting and causing great harm to the American people. These elite and powerful are getting their perks and kickbacks from the ones that put them in office and that are keeping them there to the extent reminiscent of the nazi Gestapo. Americans who are disabled and on Social Security are not actually considered disabled by this government and are expected to payback loans and other bills, some with very high interest and penalty rates that keep adding up while the person is unemployed; thereby turning simple loans and other debts with high fees and other late charges etc. into a nightmare debt no one who is disabled can afford to pay back. Many of these loans and debts triple from their original amount. When will there ever be action or at least and investigation concerning these matters? When are the Courts of this land going to rein in these Federal agencies and elite, rich, and corrupt individuals and corporation among others that today are seen as “above the law”, out of control and filled with corruption. These matters should have already been brought out by the news media and others, but it seems the media and politicians of today are all in bed with these elite, rich and corrupt individuals and corporations, while our government gives billions of dollars in aid around the world to many questionable groups and activies. That aslo wage an unjust war in Iraq costing the American citizens billions and billions of taxpayers dollars that could instead be going to the millions of suffering American people. This government it seems in the area of education, the Department of Education should change its logo to state its real business: “ helping to break up American families and keep our kids in debt”.

Let’s see what Bernard Lewis,the preeminent scholar on the Middle East has to say about :

{{{We are now experiencing a third attempt to bring Islam to Europe,” Lewis pointed out. Unlike the previous attempts that were primarily military in nature, the current Muslim push is through migration and demography. Freedom of expression, economic opportunities and moderate climates encouraged Muslim migration to Western Europe. The contrast between the high birthrates of Arab-Muslims in Europe and the negative rates of native Europeans, who marry late and have fewer children, may finally provide Islam with the chance to Islamize Europe.}}}

Since were oceans away, that can’t happen here in the US can it?/SARC.

AND…

Turning to Iraq, Lewis suggests a number of views - one reflected in the media, which is of a “continuing disaster,” and another which comes to Lewis from his personal friends in Iraq who “report positive developments.” A third view, Lewis claims, is that “most of Iraq is functioning rather well.” As he ended his prepared remarks, Lewis surprised everyone by expressing “cautious optimism” regarding Iraq. >>>> Lewis credited President Bush for being “tough and consistent” in Iraq and ridiculed the attitudes of congressional Democrats who oppose the Iraq war and who are saying: “Unless we win the war by next Tuesday, we are done.”<<<<<

Dusty,

We are doing quite a bit more than “fighting them over there.” What we are asking our troops to do is create peace in a troubled land while being targeted by terrorists. That is an altogether different matter and it isn’t in our long or short term interest to do so.

We are doing nothing more than falling into the same trap that theSoviets did in Afghanistan when their economy and military (more limited in capacity than our own) died a very slow death. People say Reagan, SDI etc… stopped the cold war. The reality is that the Soviets got trapped in an unwinnable conflict at the cost of losing the entire nation. We should take lessons from history.

While there may be temptation to use “bumper sticker” logic the fact is that this is a much more complicated issue than just “fighting them over there.”

Well just to throw in a line on the brighter side of things former President Clinton has joined in on an efforts to deauthorize’ Iraq war. But, now turning back to the dark side, Bush the “Decider” wants phone firms immune to privacy suits. He is urging Congress to pass a law that would halt dozens of law suits charging phone companies with invading ordinary citizens privacy through a post-sept. 11 warrantless surveillance programs. What a draconian dream Bush is living cuddled up in the White House illegally. Bush and the despot Republicans are bullying and performing their evil deeds it seems un-checked by the Courts or Congress. He, Bush is very much out of touch with the American people. The “Decider” is now on a round up of those citizens that rat on criminals and law breakers. Yes, I believe that the 43 President is even more out of touch than the 41st President and thats a lot of out of touch. Bush needs to stop this nonsense of invading Americans private lives. I do not think it is ok to steal money or someones privacy just because a despot government tells you, you can.

It’s also a contest between Aayan Hirsi Ali and clueless idiots like Hillary Clinton.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali is arguably the bravest and most remarkable woman of our times.//To understand why this 37-year-old woman is extraordinary, she must be assessed in the context of the forces pitted against her in her twin struggles to force the Western world to take note of Islam’s divinely ordained enslavement of women, and to force the Islamic world to account for it.

Like this:

{{A series of incidents this week placed the forces she battles in stark relief. Sunday Muslims shot up the Omariyah elementary school in Gaza. One man was killed and six were wounded in the onslaught. The murderers attacked because the UN-run school in Rafah had organized a sports day for the children, in which little boys would be playing with little girls. The idea that that boys and girls might play sports together was too much for the righteous believers. It was an insult to Islam, they said. And so they decided to kill the little boys and girls.}}}

More about Ayan Hirsi Ali.

In Holland, Hirsi Ali found herself confronted by a kinder, gentler type of cultural tyranny - the moral relativism of political correctness and multiculturalism dictated by the Left. Just as she rejected Islamic oppression in Africa, so in Holland she refused to submit to the will of the majority not to notice, judge or take action against the misogynist tyranny and anti-Western culture of the Muslim minority.//In her life and work, Hirsi Ali personifies the central challenges of our times. She holds a mirror up to the Islamic world and demands that it contend with the evil it propagates in the name of divinity.

You can’t defeat an enemy in urban warfare that is not afraid to die. Just get out of there and let them continue to kill each other as they have been doing for thousands of years.

There’s angst in official circles that other members of his regiment will be put at graver risk because of his celebrity. So guess what his comrades — his fellow soldiers — are doing? Rather than petition the Queen to keep the young man home, they have gotten shirts printed up with the words across them: “I’m Harry.” Marvelous, no?

Courage that a sniveling Coward liberal could never possess:

{{{“Today, I declare war on the Republican Leadership of the United States House of Representatives. … We must scalp one member. That member’s name is Ken Calvert.” Erickson said in an e-mail to The Hill, “There were plenty of other Republicans who would have been eligible and good. Instead, they made a lateral move from [Rep. John] Doolittle (R-Calif.) to Calvert, who has not only had several questionable land deals, but also an arrest.”}}}

Bravo.

I do not want to sacrifice the decent Iraqis just to make the anti-war crowd happy or “for convenience sake” if you will.

I know how to stop suicide bombers. Invade their countries, create instability and lawlessness, make sure that he or she has several family members die in bombings or at checkpoints, spot check their homes for weapons or insurgents, preferably at night, substitute our judgement for theirs by telling them how to live or what sort of government they should have, lock people up, abuse them and photograph their family members naked, etc, etc… Then they will know that life is worth living. My guess is that they’d rather stay alive and kill more of us than die after one slaughter, so suicide bombing would drop off significantly. Problem solved, the Bush way.

Another way may be to mind our own damn business, leave those people to themselves and let them know that their terrorists better stay on that side of the ocean or they’ll be some cruise missles and bombers headed that way. If a person from Riyadh knew that the day after his suicide attack on US interests, that there would be little left of Riyadh, my guess is that he might reconsider. If not we send the message anyway. Maybe then their own countryman will deal with them before they get out of hand. If your brother, neighbor, friend etc.. was going to attack another country and the result would be you dying. My guess is that you’d take care of that situation one way or another. I’d also think you’d take care of anyone who was talking them into that kind of stuff too.

Is it just my imagination, or have the liberal “adults” in here been behaving more juvenile than usual?

It looks like most of them have left, but I don’t mind sharing my opinion on IN VITRO FERTILIZATION.

The embryos presently “on ice” most certainly can be utilized for worthwhile cause. Afterall, they’ve already been considered “waste”, why add insult to injury. Stem cell transplant? Fine, but only with the 450,000 already sacrificed. Childless couples? Fine, but only within the number set aside already.

I’m not in favor of turning embryos into a marketable commodity.

When you begin to think; it has already turned into a cottage industry of sorts. Men get paid for their sperm. Women have to pay for the sperm. I would be willing to bet that women will soon be selling their eggs if they aren’t already.

Lawyers are making “big bucks” in custody battles over frozen embryos.

All of ^^^ THAT monetary value found in a human life that everybody seems to think has none.

Having seen where abortion began and where it has ended up is of great concern to me. Pushing the envelope…it is what liberals have a tendency to do.

Childless couples? Surrogacy or adoption. What a great way to GIVE of yourself.

Abortion should be allowed only IF the life of the mother is threatened by the birth and in cases of rape and incest. NOT as a form of birth control.

Depression is NOT life threatening. They have a pill for that. They have a pill to prevent pregnancy. Other stuff too.

Gotta bounce.

No time to deal with your other ideas right now, except to say that we cannot abandon Iraq to Al Qaeda, there are terrorist cells right in this country that requires the Patriot Act to thwart, our ports are quite well protected (the evidence will have to wait until Monday), we need to drill in ANWR and offshore until we get this dreamed of technology, and we need to work so that moderate Islamic voices can be heard, while extremists are silenced - and that includes on our own shores.

As far as Iraq is concerned, I feel that no matter how long we stay there, as soon as we leave, all hell will break loose, more so than it has now…so if we stay one more day or ten more years, it’s pretty much hopeless. I do support our troops, I have many friends in the military. I love this country and hate seeing our troops killed. I know you think that you can’t hate the war and support our troops, but I truly believe that the best way to support our troops is to bring them home.

Time for a lttle Pharmacy 101, and why Rush’s abuse of OxyContin was not the result of ignorance by its makers and users, but of the exploitation of a dangerous flaw OxyContin has that Mr. Limbaugh took full adantage of.

OxyContin and hydrocodone are basically the same drugs, painkillers both available only by prescription. They’re commonly given on a short term basis to serious auto accident or industrial acccident victims. They’re various combinations of Tylenol and a morphine derivative, and most doctors take pains (heh!) to wean patients off the the stuff as the patient’s pain decreases.

Here’s the kicker. Oxycodone’s usually taken every 4-5 hours. But OxyContin’s a one-a-day drug because it’s morphine deriative is encased in tiny time release capsules, kind of like Contac cold relief pills. It didn’t take even dumb addicts to realize that smashing Oxyontin tablets destroyed it’s time release function, so they could get the same morphine punch of up to 24 oxycodone pills with just one hit of a pulverized OxyContin. Rush,who may be many things, but is not dumb, figured this out quickly and used his trusty mortar and pestle (or hammer, if he was desperate) to get that huge rush of morphine he craved. Knowing that his primary physician would not give him what he “needed”, he went doctor shopping, apparently with the help of his Latino maid (and others?), so he could get all the OxyContin he craved.

This fairy tale of Rush unwittingly stumbling into his Hillbily heroin habit is a bunch of crap. He knew EXACTLY what he was doing when he was crushing and ingesting , and only the intervention of expensive lawyers kept him from the Federal Hilton.

Rush is a liar, an addict (hopefuly a recovering one) and his fans who believe his tear-jerking tale of unwittingly sliding into addiction have the brains of a box of sheep dung. Like so many addicts (even recovering ones), Rush can’t tell the truth.

Like I said, liberals pushing the envelope on abortion have made me question the ethics.

I went the in vitro route; one egg, one sperm at a time. The process was natural. If it didn’t take, it didn’t take. Try, try again.
