The birth of modern day Islamic terrorism and how Obama lost the Middle East

I remember November 4, 1979 and the birth of modern day Islamic terrorism.

I had made a sales call at a company in central Kentucky and had then driven 150 miles or so to Lexington. It had been a cold day with some rain making driving a real chore. I was meeting another customer for dinner and arrived at the Hyatt about 5:00.

Now I would like to impress you by noting that I had been studying the situation for over a year and was deeply concerned that Carter, who I had voted for in 1976, would fold like a cheap suit and we would suffer the consequences for the next 35 plus years. But I can't.

My wife and I was busy making a living, raising a family, redoing a house and, in general, doing what working middle class folks do.

Oh, I had kept up, more or less, with what was happening and had formed the opinion that Carter was an idiot and was doing the wrong thing by opposing the Shah, but I figured we'd muddle through and maybe I was wrong and maybe the people of Iran would have democracy.

Well, I wasn't wrong and we didn't muddle through.

So I had drinks and dinner with the customer, a nice guy even if he was a UK grad and an insufferable UK basketball fan, and we both agreed that although this was bad, the upside was that Carter would be forced to show some backbone and take whatever actions necessary to retake our embassy.

I was wrong and it was the beginning of the end of the Carter administration. It was also the birth of modern day Islamic terrorism that was, and is, state sponsored.

Think what could have happened if Carter had acted and prevented the establishment of the Islamic Theocracy that Iran became.

Iraq would have never invaded Iran and we would not supported Iraq.

How many millions would not have been killed??

Hamas and Hezbollah would have been suppressed and the destruction of Lebanon would not have happened.

Palestine would have most likely accept the peace accords brokered between Palestine and Israel by Clinton, if Arafatt was even a player.

The Soviets would not have invaded Afghanistan in 1979 because Iran would not have been seen by the Soviets as a possible partner for the establishment of a oil pipeline from the USSR to a war water port and the military consequences of a warm water port for them.

So we would not have supported the Afghanistan rebels. bin Ladin would never have went to there, the Taliban would not have existed, al Qaeda would not have existed and 9/11 would have been just another workday.

But Carter did nothing and the deadly history happened.

You would think that anyone in our State Department or educated in an Ivy League elitist coven would know that and not do it again.

You would be wrong.

The American Embassy in Cairo helped a young dissident attend a US-sponsored summit for activists in New York, while working to keep his identity secret from Egyptian state police.

On his return to Cairo in December 2008, the activist told US diplomats that an alliance of opposition groups had drawn up a plan to overthrow President Hosni Mubarak and install a democratic government in 2011.

Telegraph Link

This morning we have reports of the Muslim Brotherhood being invited into the negotiations. The MB is a terrorist organization and only fools, or worse, such as those in our own government, could have thought that supporting overthrow of the Egyptian government would do anything except open the door to the Muslim Brotherhood and the ultimate installation of an Islamic Theocracy that will foster hatred of the US and Israel and work with Iran to harm both.

Again we find that it is the Left, the leftovers from the 60's and 70's that we have allowed to again gain power, that is losing a whole region of the world and placing us and our allies in extreme danger.

Left wants Clarence Thomas lynched

Next time any Leftie starts opining about the viscious Right and how Sarah Palin is causing people to do terrible things, fling this despicable video example of the Left in action upon them.

But better do it quick. Someone will get it hid in a hurry.

Picked this up over at Velociworld

and Munch has a point.

But given that we were a British colony and given our current actions his position is in serious dispute.

The sad truth is, about 2/3 of the world's Countries would be better places if they were British Colonies. Yeah, yeah, the Brits exploited the locals. They also gave them rule of law and fair courts, private property (and there was no rule preventing a colonial from owning property), good practial education (look at how many Indians speak good English), a civil and safe society and a whole heap of freedom.

Most of the good Countries on Earth are former British colonies.

Global warming causes magnetic pole shift

Don't be confused by the claims that this happens all by itself. We have tipped the poles on their head by introducing too much carbon into the atmosphere.

Now "it" is here: an unstoppable magnetic pole shift that has sped up and is causing life-threatening havoc with the world's weather.

Forget about global warming—man-made or natural—what drives planetary weather patterns is the climate and what drives the climate is the sun's magnetosphere and its electromagnetic interaction with a planet's own magnetic field.

When the field shifts, when it fluctuates, when it goes into flux and begins to become unstable anything can happen. And what normally happens is that all hell breaks loose.

I expect the Obama Administration to demand that all compasses be issued with North shown as South and for Congres to pass a bill with an individual mandate everyone purchases hats designed to protect our precious bodily fluids.

Walmart vs. The Morons

1. Americans spend $36,000,000 at Walmart Every hour of every day.

2. This works out to $20,928 profit every minute!

3. Walmart will sell more from January 1 to St Patrick's Day (March 17th) than Target sells all year.

4. Walmart is bigger than Home Depot + Kroger + Target + Sears + Costco + K-Mart combined.

5. Walmart employs 1.6 million people, is the world's largest private employer, and most speak English.

6. Walmart is the largest company in the history of the world.

7. Walmart now sells more food than Kroger and Safeway combined, and keep in mind they did this in only fifteen years.

8. During this same period, 31 big supermarket chains sought bankruptcy.

9. Walmart now sells more food than any other store in the world.

10. Walmart has approx 3,900 stores in the USA of which 1,906 are Super Centers; this is 1,000 more than it had five years ago.

11. This year 7.2 billion different purchasing experiences will occur at Walmart stores. (Earth's population is approximately 6.5 Billion.)

12. 90% of all Americans live within fifteen miles of a Walmart.

You may think that I am complaining, but I am really laying the ground work for suggesting that MAYBE we should hire the guys who run Walmart to fix the economy.

This should be read and understood by all Americans Democrats, Republicans, EVERYONE!!

To President Obama and all 535 voting members of the Legislature:

It is now official you are ALL corrupt morons:

a. The U.S. Postal Service was established in 1775. You have had 234 years to get it right and it is broke.

b. Social Security was established in 1935. You have had 74 years to get it right and it is broke.

c. Fannie Mae was established in 1938. You have had 71 years to get it right and it is broke.

d. War on Poverty started in 1964. You have had 45 years to get it right; $1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to "the poor" and they only want more.

e. Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965. You have had 44 years to get it right and they are broke.

f. Freddie Mac was established in 1970. You have had 39 years to get it right and it is broke.

g. The Department of Energy was created in 1977 to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. It has ballooned to 16,000 employees with a budget of $24 billion a year and we import more oil than ever before. You had 32 years to get it right and it is an abysmal failure.

You have FAILED in every "government service" you have shoved down our throats while overspending our tax dollars.

AND YOU WANT AMERICANS TO BELIEVE YOU CAN BE TRUSTED WITH A GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM??


MAYBE WE OUGHT TO KICK YOUR EGG-HEAD BUDDY BUMS OUT OF OFFICE AND HIRE WALMART TO RUN THE GOVERNMENT???


WALMART SEEMS TO KNOW HOW TO RUN A BUSINESS.... WHY DON'T YOU GUYS JUST ADMIT IT'S WAY BEYOND YOUR PAY GRADE, AND QUIT?



...and Sam Walton, who started Wal-Mart in Bentonville, Ark, always drove himself to work in his own, and very well used, pick-up truck!

Hat tip to Bill T!

Obama administrattion gives British defdense info to Russia

Information about every Trident missile the US supplies to Britain will be given to Russia as part of an arms control deal signed by President Barack Obama next week.

Defence analysts claim the agreement risks undermining Britain’s policy of refusing to confirm the exact size of its nuclear arsenal.

The fact that the Americans used British nuclear secrets as a bargaining chip also sheds new light on the so-called “special relationship”, which is shown often to be a one-sided affair by US diplomatic communications obtained by the ....telegraph......

We have these things called treaties and telling your treaty partner's secrets is a definite no-no.

This is beyond outrageous. The people involved should be charged and tried for these despicable actions. And if Obama knew about it he should be impeached and removed from office.

His anger towards England, and his fellow Americans, has been shown time and again. It is time for him to start thinking about his legacy and leave.

Why the chicken crossed the road

SARAH PALIN: The chicken crossed the road because, gosh-darn it, he's a maverick!
BARACK OBAMA: The chicken crossed the road because it was time for change! The chicken wanted change!
JOHN MC CAIN: My friends, that chicken crossed the road because he recognized the need to engage in cooperation and dialogue with all the chickens on the other side of the road.
HILLARY CLINTON: When I was First Lady, I personally helped that little chicken to cross the road. This experience makes me uniquely qualified to ensure right from Day One that every chicken in this country gets the chance it deserves to cross the road. But then, this really isn't about me.
GEORGE W. BUSH: We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here.
DICK CHENEY: Where's my gun?
COLIN POWELL: Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road.
BILL CLINTON: I did not cross the road with that chicken.
AL GORE: I invented the chicken.
JOHN KERRY: Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken's intentions. I am not for it now, and will remain against it.
AL SHARPTON: Why are all the chickens white? We need some black chickens up in here.
DR. PHIL: The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realize that he must first deal with the problem on this side of the road before it goes after the problem on the other side of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he's acting by not taking on his current problems before adding new problems.
OPRAH: Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross this road so badly. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to give this chicken a NEW CAR so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens.
ANDERSON COOPER, CNN: We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed to have access to the other side of the road.
NANCY GRACE: That chicken crossed the road because he's guilty! You can see it in his eyes and the way he walks.
PAT BUCHANAN: To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.
MARTHA STEWART: No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the Farmer's Market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information.
DR. SEUSS: Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told.
ERNEST HEMINGWAY: To die in the rain, alone.
JERRY FALWELL: Because the chicken was gay! Can't you people see the plain truth? That's why they call it the 'other side.' Yes, my friends, that chicken is gay. And if you eat that chicken, you will become gay too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the Liberal media whitewashes with seemingly harmless phrases like 'the other side.' That chicken should not be crossing the road. It's as plain and as simple as that.
GRANDPA: In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.
BARBARA WALTERS: Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heart warming story of how it experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish it's lifelong dream of crossing the road.
ARISTOTLE: It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.
JOHN LENNON: Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace.
BILL GATES: I have just released eChicken2011, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook. Internet Explorer is an integral part of eChicken2011. This new platform is much more stable and will never reboot.
ALBERT EINSTEIN: Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken?
COLONEL SANDERS: Did I miss one?

Hat tip to Grace who sent it to me from an unknown source.
