'Indict Ahmadinejad for Inciting Genocide' By Patrick Goodenough

As the U.S. election campaign revisits the question of whether an American president should meet unconditionally with heads of hostile regimes, a drive to haul the Iranian leader before an international court may be picking up steam.

More than two years after Mahmoud Ahmadinejad began publicly calling for Israel's demise and questioning the veracity of the Holocaust, at least one government says it is looking seriously at the legal options that may be available.

Daily Kos Uses Racist Image of KKK Torturing Michelle Obama, Then Pulls It. We’ve Still Got It. :: The Patriot Room

As of 5/19/08 at 3:11 PM, they’ve deleted the image, which we copied earlier and remains posted below, but the diary post remains. Sorry Kos Kids, no do-overs on the internet.

Those grown-ups at Daily Kos are always willing to have a debate on the merits.

I’m from West Virginia and Senator Byrd is too.

Now that he’s endorsed Senator Obama, the right wing will once again paint Byrd as a flipflopping former klansman.

Michelle Obama is an outspoken black woman who they’re portraying an unpatriotic liberal “elitist”.

U.S. Marine Slandered by Murtha Needs Help

United States Marine Lance Corporal Justin Sharratt (center) with his buddies in Haditha, Iraq.

This post is about those who support our troops and those scurrilous reprobates who say they support the troops, and don’t mean a single word of it.

Congressman John Murtha (D-Pa) slandered several United States Marines, including Lance Corporal Justin L. Sharratt, by accusing them of executing innocent men, women, and children in cold blood in Haditha, Iraq on Nov. 19, 2005. Here is the despicable Murtha in his own words.

Pre-emptive Assassinations :: StormWarning

Is it beyond humanity or “fair play” that we consider “taking out” certain pesky gnats?

The question is whether it is better to strategically target a terrorist or national leader for assassination, rather than fight a lengthy war of armies. Of course it is argued that Presidential directives prohibit such actions. I counter by saying that this war against the jihad is different from all others, and that “Directives” (like Presidential Executive Order 12333) were for past wars.

The monster and the sausages By Spengler

Germany's President Horst Koehler has denounced the world financial market as a "monster" using "highly complex financial instruments" to make "massive leveraged investments with minimal capital". Koehler, formerly head of the International Monetary Fund, seems perplexed about the causes of the present crisis, but I can explain them in a way any German can understand. Derivatives are like sausages. You take the low-quality parts of the pig that you don't want to look at while you are eating them, and grind them up into a package that seems more appetizing.

The mythical post-American era By Ehsan Ahrari

In the context of civilizational history, the rise of the West is one of the oldest events. The old colonial powers declined; some of them slid into the category of "former great powers" (France, Germany and arguably Spain and Italy); and others, like Britain - realizing that it could never be a power of global influence again - found its niche as America's sidekick.

GOP fails to recruit minorities By JIM VANDEHEI & JOSH KRAUSHAAR

Just a few years after the Republican Party launched a highly publicized diversity effort, the GOP is heading into the 2008 election without a single minority candidate with a plausible chance of winning a campaign for the House, the Senate or governor.

At a time when Democrats are poised to knock down a historic racial barrier with their presidential nominee, the GOP is fielding only a handful of minority candidates for Congress or statehouses — none of whom seem to have a prayer of victory.

The Anti-Human Agenda By Dr. Tim Ball

A tongue-in-cheek comment from my university said if we could just get rid of the students it would be a great place to work. Some environmentalists think if we could just get rid of all the people on the planet it would be a great place to live. Generally over-population is a major part of the environmentalists’ argument that humans are causing all the problems, including climate change. Satire is a good measure of this position typified by the bumper sticker that says, “Save the Planet, Kill Yourself.”

With Politicians Like Ours, Who Needs Terrorist Enemies? By Arnold Ahlert

In case people have forgotten, the Islamo-fascists’ primary motivation for perpetrating the 9/11 attacks was to seriously damage, or destroy the economy of the United States. Why are Congress, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and John McCain helping them do it?

America may never become completely energy independent. But to hamper all efforts to move in that direction is more than just willfully stupid. It is an abdication of one of the principle reasons for government itself: to protect us from all enemies, foreign and domestic.

The Omniphobia Epidemic By James Lewis

Let us now take counsel of our fears.

We're afraid of ozone and CO2. We're afraid of smog and cigarette smoke. We're afraid of Republicans because they are warmongers, and of Democrats because they are in utter denial of the real world. We're afraid the earth is warming -- or freezing. Our bee populations are now collapsing. A new kind of voracious ant is invading. Only 20,000 polar bears are left in Alaska, way down, from, oh, about 20,000 previously. Flesh-eating bacteria are attacking people in Africa, again. According to the Daily Telegraph of London, we should be afraid of fat people because they pollute more than skinny ones -- don't ask why -- but we're also worried about millions of skinny people who are finally getting their chance to eat better.

America’s Enemies & The Role of Deception By James Morris

One of the key challenges facing the United States in its struggle against a global insurgency fueled by Islamic expansionism, Communist expansionism, the web of narcotics and criminal networks and transnational terrorism, is the role deception plays in furthering the agendas and interests of these national and non-state actors. Deception has always been difficult for Americans to come to grips with because of its appeal to the darker side of the human psyche. America has always been an open, free and prosperous nation that generally detests such behavioral practices. When it comes to deception by the enemy, the US has always been ready to fight the “last war” because of our failure to adequately prepare ourselves to the current threat environment.

Purchasing Democratic Socialism in America By JB Williams

American liberals are getting increasingly frustrated with the use of the term “democratic socialism.” But I’m getting increasingly fed up with the improper use of the term “liberal.” John McCain is a liberal. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, like all modern Democrats, are something quite different.

For the record, the term “liberal” originally referred to people like Thomas Jefferson, indicating their undying reverence for “individual liberty” and “personal freedom” above all other notions and their opposition to government power.

Unless America is supposed to unite on the far Left, Obama won't unite us. By Kathryn Jean Lopez

There’s a lot we don’t know about Democratic senator Barack Obama. But there’s also a lot we do. This presidential election swing has lasted more than a year now, and many of us have been watching him since his big speech at the 2004 Democratic convention. We have his record in the U.S. Senate and the Illinois state legislature. His political advent after the Iowa caucuses may have been announced by choirs of angels, but he has an earthly history that’s goes back further than that. In short: We ought to start paying attention to what information we have and stop projecting our hopes and dreams onto his frequent, energizing, but largely empty rhetoric at campaign rallies.

The New Appeasers by Jed Babbin

President Bush’s implied attack on Barack Obama -- comparing those who would negotiate with terrorists and radicals to pre-World War II appeasers -- is being written off as mere heated political rhetoric. That is happening because the president, as is his wont, expressed a correct judgment in incomplete and thus incorrect terms.

Speaking to the Israeli Knesset on May 15, the president said:

Or the KKK had links to the Democratic Party? Not only are these questions addressed by the National Black Republicans Association (NBRA), but also more surprising facts.

Iran: Praying for Obama By Ben Shapiro

We live in a dangerous world. According to the European Union, that world will become
exponentially more dangerous in the coming years. An internal EU document leaked to the Financial Times states that Iran will likely go nuclear in the near Future. “Attempts to engage the Iranian administration in a negotiating process have so far not succeeded,”says the document. “At some stage we must expect that Iran will acquire the capacity to enrich uranium on the scale required for a weapons
programme.” The document also suggests that economic sanctions will be useless.

"Jimmy Carter without the rabbits" :: Power Line

On May 14 Barack Obama held a private meeting at Macomb Community College with Hassan Qazwini. Qazwini is the leader of the Islamic Center of America in Dearborn. Debbie Schlussel describes Qazwini as Hezbollah's most important imam and agent in America.

Obama's meeting with Qazwini came to light because of a brief report in the Detroit Free Press (with the photo above) deriving from Qazwini and his mosque. The Obama campaign has not itself posted any news account or press release regarding the meeting on its Obama News page. A Google News search on "Obama Qazwini" shows that news of the meeting has essentially remained a closely guarded secret.

There is no jihad, there is no jihad, there … By DIANA WEST

A few years ago, Harvard psychiatric instructor Kenneth Levin wrote "The Oslo Syndrome: Delusions of a People Under Siege." In this illuminating book, Levin examines the Israeli experience of concessionary negotiations with a "peace partner" openly dedicated to Israel’s destruction. He also examines the historical Jewish Diaspora experience in which Jewish populations typically identified with their tormentors and even echoed their anti-Semitism.

Such interactions are driven by a permanent condition of siege mentality, Levin explains, and clearly manifest two kinds of delusional thinking.
