A few more postings from my blogs:

From my politics blog: Rifqa Bary is safe for now, but still may need help.

From my comics blog: Britain's dhimmis are bringing Kuwait's Islamist comic, The 99, to British television.

From my game blog: Namco publishes a new take on the late Data East's classic Burger Time.

Also, I think I'll plug a small website I built about computer puzzle games, and even games like Breakout are included. I've got a couple items up already, and hope to add more in time.

Photo Quiz: Detroit or Mogadishu? Can you distinguish the most liberal city in America, ruled by the hard-left for forty years, from a third-world hellhole devastated by two decades of civil war?

Conservigilant (et al) -

What about the fact that the GOP does indeed use the fear of 9/11 to control the masses of sheeple who allow themselves to be manipulated by such things? "Terror Alert Orange", anyone?

It is an excellent idea to motivate masses of people to make a difference in their communities on 9/11... and saying that you would rather preserve the fear-based "noun, verb, 9/11" mantra is damned unacceptable. 9/11 should be a day when we all work locally to make our communities better (remember all that 'we will totally go out and do this, or the terrorists win' that occured right afterwards?), not sitting in stilted fear of color-coded republican stupidity.

dO you really make the case that America is somehow better off cowering in ingorant fear instead of organizing around small, measurable improvements made locally? Civic pride, community cohesiveness, and all that are somehow a bad thing in the GOP mindset?

Hooray ignorance and fear...

I Can't Keep Up With All The Failures

I can't keep up with all the ways in which this administration is failing. From the health care restructuring proposals gone sour, to the slippage in Iraq and Afghanistan, to the appeasement of Hugo Chavez and Iran and the bullying of Honduras, to the end of the special relationship with Israel, to the burgeoning budget deficits, to the unraveling of our intelligence capabilities, to the likely double-dip recession, to the mounting job losses, to the stimulus boondoggle, and on and on.

I just can't keep up with all the failures. And it's getting me worried that I may have been more prescient than I had expected in my predictions of what would happen when the speculative bubble of hope and change burst. And it's more than a little scary.

Howie Kurtz Whines The Proles Aren’t Listening To The Media Anymore

You silly, stupid people. What exactly gives you the right to think for yourself and ignore what “The Deciders” have decided?

Someone comments:

The majority of these town hall "evil mongers" who felt Palin's description of "death panels" had more than a kernel of truth are, understandably, senior citizens. Now comes the announcement that there will be no cost-of-living-increases for Social Security next year, while Medicare premiums will rise. Add in the probability of inflation, and seniors are going to be hurting.

Look for record numbers of seniors to show up for the 2010 elections.

Be afraid, Lefties.

Be VERY afraid.

Yeah, I'm really impressed at the T.E.A. Partiers too! Why not show YOUR civic pride, community cohesiveness, and make small improvements by joining your local T.E.A. Party?

Glenn Beck Boycott Backfires (HAHAHAHA!)
http://www.newsmax.com/headlines/beck_boycott_fox_backlash/2009/08/23/251369.html?s=al&promo_code=85E5-1

Beck's enemies on the left, however, have awakened a sleeping giant in their campaign to destroy Beck.

Like the town hall protesters, Beck's supporters are rising up to declare they're fed up and not going to take it anymore. And joining in their counterattack are some of the most respected voices in conservative media.

"Glenn Beck is to be congratulated," New York Times best-selling author Peter Schweizer tells Newsmax. "They only go after you when you are being effective � he must really be causing them problems."

And Rich Noyes, research director for the conservative Media Research Council watchdog organization, says, "I think it tells us a lot about the style of politics coming from the organized left and this White House. They want to be so strenuous in going after their adversaries that they have a take-no-prisoners approach. I think it would be unthinkable if conservatives, particularly those affiliated with the Bush White House, had gone after a media figure associated with one of the other networks."

Swedish Newspaper publishes incendiary claim that Israelis harvest and sell organs from Phallustinian children. Then later admits they had no evidence such a thing happened. In other words,they happily regurgitated Hamas lies:

Also, read Robert Spencer's (Of the great site Jihadwatch.org), response to this outrageous lie, in which he rips the irresponsible, Anti-Semitic editors of this alleged newspaper up one side and down the other:

The MSM had a veritable orgasm over Cindy Sheehan in 2004, when she was protesting Bush. Now, she's going to Martha's Vineyard to protest Obambi. Wanna bet the MSM mostly ignores her and those MSM bozos who notice, disparage her?

http://newsbusters.org/blogs/brent-baker/2009/08/24/reality-check-will-nets-note-sheehans-anti-obama-protest


Memo to Cindy: The left never really cared about ending war when they joined you in protest prior to January, 2009. They simply wanted to engage in infantile hatred of George Bush. War is just dandy with them, as long as liberals run things.

The day September 11 does not need to be one of fear, and for almost all of us, I don't think it is. However, hijacking that day, for whatever purpose, whether "service to the community", "making a difference" or whatever, serves only to distract from our remembrance of that day, what happened, and what it should mean to us. Remembering what happened, and deciding to do what we can to prevent it happening again, does not mean cowering and fear. It means appreciating the sacrifices made by those who have since then put their lives on the line for us, and standing likewise in whatever way we can. Not some community-organizer nonsense. Don't insult my dignity.

Abortion and Obamacare

Question: Do any of the various obamacare bills floating around congress specifically state, “The government of the United States of America will fund abortions?”

The short answer is, “Obviously not!”

Obviously, because even abortion-loving, leftist Democrats know that including such language or any other language suggesting government-endorsed payments for terminating the lives of the pre-born in any obamacare package would ignite a firestorm of opposition and doom it to failure.

Failure to pass health reform legislation would also doom Obama to ignominious failure and his legacy to oblivion.

However, as usual, the devil lurks hidden in the details. After all, Democrats somehow, some way must satisfy their liberal followers by making certain the United States government preserves their gory sacrament of abortion.

The quintessentially pro-abortion Obama has said repeatedly that the deadly procedure will not be part of his version of health care and that it’s just one more “myth” that obamacare would incorporate abortion.

He and his minions say a lot of things, including contradicting themselves on the public option, insisting Americans would be free to keep their current medical insurance, swearing that illegals won’t be covered, vowing there will be no rationing, and refusing to pull the plug on grandma.

Unsaid is that after private insurers have been run out of business, there won’t be any other options available and the millions of illegals will all be declared legals. As for grandma, after getting her “end of life counseling,” she’ll be so depressed she’ll pull her own plug.

At Notre Dame last spring, . . .
