Wow!

I never realized “AP” really stood for “Armed Palestinians”!

Who would have thunk?

I’ve been thinking of that South Park episode for days. Thanks for the visual example of our so-called leaders.

“Now we learn that AP won't even show or describe a burning Koran.”

Here is the AP press release draft:

“Today in Florida absolutely nothing happened that you need to know about. And now for the weather...”

Are we all secretly slaves to the Muslims and don't even know it? Why do we care

It's the oil. Take it away from them and they'll crawl back in their tents and curl up with a good goat.

Nobody wants to be the target of a terrorist attack.

Except maybe one wacko pastor in Florida.

Observe this absolute media storm of condemnation and revulsion. Here we have a shining example of what happens when even one, lone person dares to strike out and do something outrageous and distasteful against something not on the Approved Hating List (Christians, big business, the military).

How many times from the 60s on, have we been lectured about allowing and celebrating offensive, disturbing images and words because of the right to freedom of speech?

Bill Ayers bombed the friggin' Pentagon and he's a hero to the Marxist-slanted culture. He teaches our children, sits on company boards and has the president on speed dial. Poor Terry Jones, the silly, obscure minister of a minute church, proposes to do something that will harm no one, cause no property damage and could only be considered mildly rebellious if he were burning a Bible at Berkley, and the full force of the national, political and media culture comes down on him like a skyscraper hit by a jetliner.

Suddenly, the Left has discovered a religion they can rally around and protect.

Someone somewhere really has to create a new word for what America and the World is experiencing since the election of Barak Hussein Obama. Hypocrisy just doesn't cover it.

CNN Headline News: “And now, live from Gainesville, FL.....”

LOL! I was thinking earlier today that I may just drive up there for this and get some video. It will probably be fun. I'm sure it will be one of the biggest goat ropes ever to hit Gainesville.

But they’ll show American flags and Bibles desecrated.

Yeah, I don’t like this guy. I don’t agree this was a responsible to pursue but now I want to burn the thing just to protest their sensitivity (capitulation) to Islam while the hypocrites trash our own values.

While This move may be somewhat childish and perhaps tasteless, I do think it is good in the fact that it is “in their faces”. At least they are standing up and and fighting back which is more than some of the namby-pamby people on the right are doing. Muslims are like playground bullies that just need to get the $hit kicked out of them. I hope they feel it.

... or Abu Graib whihc has even more chance of ENDANGERING troops. They cited the public’s need to know at the time.

AP = Good dhimmis.

May your chains rest heavily upon you, and may the future forget you were our kinsmen, you crapsack cowards.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

I recall the burning of the effigy of Pope Benedict XVI, but I don't recall my fellow Catholics retaliating by burning effigies of Mohammad, do you?

Associated Press says photo of Lance Cpl. Joshua Bernard shows realities of war

Associated Press
Posted: Sep 04, 2009

NEW YORK — The Associated Press is distributing a photo of a Marine fatally wounded in battle, choosing after a period of reflection to make public an image that conveys the grimness of war and the sacrifice of young men and women fighting it.
