Socialism Is A Failure Part #1,297,125

France is burning to the ground. Day 12.
The grand experiment in social engineering that is Marxism is showing its cracks again. The French give their workers huge amounts of benefits, and they give their un (and under) employed even more. But all this largesse has not kept "disenfranchised" utes from torching cars and housing blocks night after night.

Why? Because. It is not disenfranchise utes, it is a well organized Intefada based on the Palestinian Authority model from the last 10 years. Make some Molotov cocktails, brake-up some more rocks, and hand them to a bunch of youths who will do what you tell them to do because you can promise them virgins (raisins) in some distant paradise.
They do it not because the French haven't given them all the choices they could need, but because the religion (NO. Death Cult!!!) gives them no hope other then the hope of old men sodimizing them and then telling them that the only truth is one where violence against the other is fine, as long as the other is not a "believer."

So the Death Cult runs rioting thru the streets of Europe, and the LSM yawns.
They have not learned that an enemy that is allowed to live and prosper inside your own borders is still and enemy. The build up to Eurabia has begun and the left is cheering it on, not understanding that they will be the first to be lined up and given the choice of "convert of die."
I know, I know the dhimitude allows for "non-believers" to live quietly as long as they pay the tax to the caliphate. The only problem with that argument is if there is no caliphate. Then the choices are narrowed down to two.

Senator Carl Levin Stooge For al-Jazeera?

There is a great piece in Todays Opinion Journal that talks about the problems with Senator Levin's objection to the appointment of Dorrance Smith to the job of assistant secretary of defense for public affairs.

The facts in this piece that Mr. Smith wrote in April, are what seems to be what is keeping the Senator up at night.
I don't know why! Here are some of the relevant quotes that have caused the Senator to hold-up the appointment.

The collaboration between the terrorists and al-Jazeera is stronger than
ever. While the precise terms of that relationship are virtually unknown, we do
know this: al-Jazeera and the terrorists have a working arrangement that extends
beyond a modus vivendi. When the terrorists want to broadcast something that
helps their cause, they have immediate and reliable access to al-Jazeera. This
relationship--in a time of war--raises some important questions:

* What does Al-Jazeera promise the terrorist organizations in order to get consistent access to their video?

* Does it pay for material?

*Is it promised safety and protection if it continues to air unedited tapes? (No Al-Jazeera employee has been killed or taken hostage by the terrorists. When I ran the Iraqi Television Network, seven employees were killed by terrorists.)

Now why would any sane person reject these questions? Well I guess the world will never know.

Read both articles and think about what is happening in the world and understand that when we give up asking tough questions about the enemy, we are then faced with the what the Danes and the French are facing now.

Night Turns Into Day (Eight)

Paris is still burning, and the press is still hiding the religion of the protestors.

After how many more days of this Intifada will the media begin to connect this to the ROP?
Or should the question be years, since the Palo's are still getting the media to blame the victim over in Israel.

Is this the bloody prebirth of the new continent of Eurabia?

Lastly, it is time to kiss what was left of France goodbye.

Big News (If You're A Moonbat)

I am SHOCKED, SHOCKED, to find that there are secret prisons in Eastern Europe!
This is the noise coming out of the LSM and various "Human Rights" groups.

Now I'm no fan of the now disgraced night shift at Abu Ghraib prison and their "fun with head panties" photos, but let us remember what that was really all about.
The Lindy Englund crew was not "torturing" prisoners to learn where the next attack was coming from.
They were doing what they did because they were sick twisted perverts, playing their own reindeer games to get their yaya's.

Now the mainstream press is using the "news" of prisons for al Qaeda killers to re-hash (hhmmm.. hash) these stories and to keep painting the Administration as EVIL. Well they are trying to paint them as more than that, but I am not a believer in the theory that you seem more passionate, the more F Bombs you drop.

So my only problem with these secret prisons, is that they are being run by the CIA. And as a piece in today's WSJ (monetary registration required) shows, the CIA is not really on the Administration's side in the WOT. The piece does a great job of tearing the CIA apart over the Wilson/Plame case, showing that the agency's own agenda against the war placed Mrs. Wilson in danger, not the offhand comments of a Vice Presidential Chief-Of-Staff.

Congratulations To My BoSox Friends

It is official, the Boston Red Sox are now as screwed-up as my New York Yankees.

Who would have guessed that come November 2, Brian Cashman would still be working for George, while Theo Epstein was "taking some time off"?

A Happy Anniversary And A Not So Happy Anniversary

One year ago today, I was standing outside of a polling place in Charlestown Rhode Island asking every 5th person to take an exit poll about the Presidential Election.
Boy were they ever wrong.

Thank God for voter fraud in Ohio.
Just kidding.

Also that day in Denmark, Theo van Gogh was murdered by Islamists who were offended by his documentaries about them.
This piece in Opinion Journal by Francis Fukuyama deals with the trouble that faces Eurabia.
Even when I disagree with him he makes some interesting points, read it.

News Views

Here is a sentence I never thought I would write.
CNN got their story right, while FOX got theirs wrong.

Yesterday a CNN reporter was talking to a couple of returning heroes from a Kentucky National Guard unit, and she asked them if the media "(is) getting it right" when it comes to coverage of the war. Read the NRO link for yourself, and be amazed.

Meanwhile this morning FOX had a story about the 6th night of, now spreading, riots in the suburbs around Paris. The piece delivered by my personal fav Lauren Green mentioned the riots and the number of days it has run, but and this is a big but, it didn't mention what religion the throwers of the Molotov cocktails are.
Now the print piece that I link to above takes 4 paragraphs before presenting the salient facts in these riots.
I am very disappointed.

Harry Reid Throws A Fit

Oh My!

Well it looks like the Senate has been called into "secret session" by Harry Reid and Tick Turbin.
Why???
Because!!!

A few days after the Fitzgerald Grand Jury fired off only one perjury indictment, the Dems are angry that America doesn't give a rat's hairy. The news cycle has moved on (pun INTENDED) even while being controlled by their minions at the Nets.

More fun things to watch as the Dems slide even further into moonbattery, and the country gives a collective yawns over the things that they are "so" interested in.
The popcorn is ready, and so am I.
