Apparently, there is a memorial in the works on the site of the Flight 93 crash from 9-11. Unfortunately, the designers have opted to pay tribute to Islam with a crescent-shaped memorial. Such a memorial would pervert the memories of those brave men and women who fought to save other innocent lives from the murderous intentions of the Islamic jihadists who hijacked flight 93.
There is a design meeting scheduled for August 2 in Somerset which is going to be protested. Conservatives are not much for protesting, that is certain, but this is a worthy cause. These designers should be made to revere the honor and memory of those who fought to save innocent life, not those who sought death and destruction in the first place. If you are in the neighborhood or have thousands of dollars to afford the gasoline to get there, Conservative Donnybrook encourages one and all to protest this abomination.
Barack Obama has admirers throughout the world. It is instructive to examine from where his support stems.
The latest Obama devotee is none other than Fidel Castro, who finds him to be “the most progressive of all the candidates.”
Prior to Castro’s endorsement, Obama has enjoyed the support of William Ayres, an unrepentant former domestic terrorist who was a member of the Weather Underground Organization, which sought the overthrow of the United States government.
Obama is endorsed by the leaders of FARC: “In a Feb. 28 letter, FARC chieftain Raul Reyes cheerily reported to his inner circle that he met “two gringos” who assured him “the new president of their country will be Obama and that they are interested in your compatriots. Obama will not support ‘Plan Colombia’ nor will he sign the TLC (Free Trade Agreement).”
Obama is friendly with the terrorist group, HAMAS:
One of Barack Obama’s Middle East policy advisers disclosed today that he had held meetings with the militant Palestinian group Hamas - prompting the likely Democratic nominee to sever all links with him.
Robert Malley told The Times he had regularly been in contact with Hamas, which controls Gaza but is listed by the US State Department as a terrorist organisation. Such talks, he stressed, were related to his work for a conflict resolution think tank and had no connection with his position on Mr Obama’s Middle East advisory council.
“I’ve never hidden the fact that in my job with the International Crisis Group I meet all kinds of people,” he added.
But Ben LaBolt, a spokesman for Mr Obama, responded swiftly, saying: “Rob Malley has, like hundreds of other experts, provided informal advice to the campaign in the past. He has no formal role in the campaign and he will not play any role in the future.”
Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, shame on you. Or so the saying goes.
Obama slithered out of the grasp of his first spiritual advisor turning up as a confirmed racist. According to Obama, he missed every inflammatory, racist rant that the “Reverend” Wright ever delivered from the pulpit of his South Side church. Oprah didn’t miss it, but Obama did…and continued to attend. Now we hear that one of his other two spiritual advisors, Fr. Michael Pfleger, is also a confirmed reverse-racist. He’s a white guy who hates whitey.
In a recent homily, Fr. Pfleger said of Hillary Clinton, “I’m Bill’s wife. I’m white, and this is mine! I just got to get up and step into the plate. And then out of nowhere came, hey, I’m Barack Obama. She said, oh, damn! Where did you come from? I’m white! I’m entitled! There’s a black man stealing my show!” Not only did he express his own racist views, but he also attributed racism to Hillary Clinton.
This is one of the three men who Barack Obama has stated are his spiritual advisors. One might be forgiven for thinking two down, one to go, but that would be a very natural reaction. One might believe (implausibly) that Obama did not sign onto Wright’s repeated racist rants, but now there is a second person, involved with the Obama campaign and identified as a spiritual advisor to Barack, so what is one to think?
I will spell it out for one and all.
Barack Obama is a dyed-in-the-wool anti-white racist. All of his associates point to that conclusion. If I assocaited only with KKK members, it would be only nature to assume I am a racist, there should be no difference with Barack Obama. He associates and extols the virtues of anti-white racists. He is clearly racist. This is not a man who deserves the White House - it would probably be offensive for him to live in a house so named.
Without further ado…Father Phleger in his role as pulpit pounder preacher at Trinity Church:
Did he run a marathon before he preached? He seems all out of breath.
As I mentioned in a recent post, my thinking has been set in a certain direction. A new report by the CIA meshes with my latest thinking and causes me to take another look at our intelligence gathering organ. As we have, and our more paleo-inclined readers, have been especially prone to point out, the CIA blew it in their claim that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction. Whether they actually blew it, or we telegraphed our entrance into Iraq to allow the nation to hide the evidence is a question we will never have the answer to. Regardless of whether they got it right or wrong, their reputation was tarnished as a result. And, the anti-American crowd on the Left and Right have excoriated Bush for its intelligence failures.
With that in mind, one would expect the intelligence organs of America to tread lightly and make doubly sure of their facts. In light of this assumption, the latest report coming out of Iraq is encouraging. It seems that we are beating back the forces of Islamic jihad and changing the hearts and minds of those whose future are directly affected by the outcome. What is especially encouraging is the CIA’s forthrightness about the foe we are fighting. They are quite open about the idea that America’s war is against Islamic jihad - and not to encourage Democracy or any such nebulous objective.
Michael Hayden, said recently that our efforts in the Middle East had netted “[n]ear strategic defeat of Al-Qaeda in Iraq. Near strategic defeat for Al-Qaeda in Saudi Arabia. Significant setbacks for Al-Qaeda globally — and here I’m going to use the word ‘ideologically’ — as a lot of the Islamic world pushes back on their form of Islam.”
It is that last sentence which gives me hope: the fact that the CIA sees this as an ideological struggle. “Hayden said bin Laden is also losing the battle for hearts and minds in the Islamic world and has largely lost his ability to exploit the Iraq war to recruit new members.”
It is encouraging to this commentator that contrary to the administration’s protestations that Islam is a religion of peace (which is patently false), the CIA sees that Islamic jihad is the threat. The CIA views the threat as a thing which the winning of the “hearts and minds” of people will have an effect. As long as they keep that in the foremost of their minds, there is hope that our recent successes will be multiplied to eventual (and probably near) victory.
Add in the fact that stories report that the Iraqi army is increasingly capable and even the anti-American Left and Right will realize their dream of coming home soon.
According to the New York Post, Susan Sarandon says if John McCain gets elected, she will move to Italy or Canada. She adds, “It’s a critical time, but I have faith in the American people.”
