And innocence is?

Those on the Left often claim that the proper response to terrorism is police action.

Is it?

The problem is that police action does not effectively deter crime, it only attempts to catch and punish the criminals for society. Hopefully the threat of capture and punishment deters crime and hopefully the criminals can be reformed and returned to society.

But police action doesn't work when the "criminals" don't care if they are captured. Indeed, these "criminals" capture themselves by committing suicide when the fly airplanes into buildings, blow up cars in crowded shopping markets and wear explosive belts into cafes and other stores.

Like it or not, the issue becomes:

Shall I wait until thousands of my innocent fellow citizens are dead from a terrorist attack,?

Or shall I try and disrupt the terrorists efforts by attacking them and those who support them?

It becomes then a terrible Hobson's choice. Innocent people, men, women and children will die either way.

The question is, innocent Americans or innocent "others?"

Most Americans would say, "Better them than me and my family." But let's take it a bit further.

Who is the least "innocent?"

Is it the citizens of the country that, though imperfect, has done more than any other country in the history of mankind to advance tolerance and human rights? And who have paid a terrible price in lives and treasure to defeat three "isms" that killed perhaps 100 million?

Or is it the citizens of the countries that are ruled by governments and a religious law that enabled the terrorists and created societies that tolerated honor killings, no rights for women, hanging of gays, etc?

Given that the citizens of America cannot change the countries creating such evil without attacking them, and given that the citizens of the countries described have not changed them, it is obvious that the citizens of those countries bear responsibility for the actions of the terrorists, although the individuals condemn the terrorists and would live in peace with the world. It is then, the lack of action that is the problem.

The bottom to all of this is that Islam must reform itself. That is up to individual Muslims. Until then we have every right to attack and kill those who would attack and kill us.

If innocents die it is the fault of the terrorists and the innocents who allow the terrorist to live in their midst.

This is unfair to the individuals. But life is not fair.

Slate play's the race card for Hussein

If the Hussein campaign isn't playing the race card, then you will find media members who are so far in the tank for Hussein that they will never see daylight again doing it for him.

This from Slate.

If you break the numbers down, the reason Obama isn't ahead right now is that he trails badly among one group, older white voters. He does so for a simple reason: the color of his skin.

Yeah. You have to watch us older white voters. We're skeptical of all politicians, but especially politicians with no experience who associate with America haters and who demonstrate their dumbness by telling us to inflate our tires to solve the energy crisis.

The rest of you dummies can get smashed on "change" and "hope" kool aid. We know that "hope" must be translated into hard work and that cancer is nothing more than uncontrolled and undefined change.

There is one issue, however, that the tanked writers never mention. That's Hussein's 90% to 95% support from blacks.

What would they call that if whites had voted that way??

a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.

You can't have it both ways, dear chums. Can you?

Fun and Games with Hussein - Is he or isn't he??

Now we have Democrats saying that Hussein should not be allowed to run.

Don't you just love it??

3. Has dual loyalties because of his citizenship with Kenya and Indonesia.

Hussein does what?

Why does a star like Obama -- who can draw 200,000 Germans to the Brandenburg gate and 73,000 wildly enthusiastic supporters who will gather at Invesco Field for his acceptance speech Thursday night -- have a problem?

.....

But Obama is a guy, wide smile and well-crafted message notwithstanding, who seems to give the electorate more of his head than of his heart.

Look. If Hussein had rather give head that's his business.

Biden's health issues

Tragically, just before the New Hampshire primary, Biden suffered a brain aneurysm. His doctors gave him a 30 percent chance to pull through – and he did. With another chance at life and some newly acquired hair plugs, he went back to work in the US Senate, where he’s been ever since.

McCain's health issues just became non-issues.

Let's speculate...

Hussein wins. Biden dies and Hussein appoints (Select One):

Rev Wright
Farrakhan
Wiliam Ayers

Vice President. President Hussein then resigns and returns to Africa...

And (from selection list) becomes President and surrenders to (Select one):

Libya
Iran
Russia

Well, it is the Internet, isn't it??

Illegal aliens and national health care

Some will see this as a reason we should shut down the borders, and I agree.

A 30-year-old Mexican man in a coma at the University of Illinois Medical Center at Chicago has ignited a dispute over a little-known practice at hospitals—sending medically needy undocumented immigrants back to their countries of origin.

The disagreement revolves around Francisco Pantaleon, who arrived in the U.S. 11 years ago and suffered a severe brain hemorrhage in mid-July, according to his sister Socorro. A father of two, Pantaleon worked at a carwash and has no health insurance, she said.

The medical center believes there is "little hope for recovery," according to a statement released Tuesday, and officials arranged for Pantaleon to be transferred to a hospital in Acapulco at UIC's expense. An official said his immediate family consented to the move.

But Pantaleon's sister and cousin are protesting that arrangement and have retained lawyers in hopes of preventing it. "This is an injustice," said his sister, who worries that Pantaleon won't survive the trip or find adequate care in Mexico.

But I will add that it is a strong reason for having National Health Care paid for by a national sales tax.

Illegal aliens are here. They are getting free care. And we are paying for it.


Also included in that group is everyone who live in the "gray market" areas and don't pay taxes on income, including the "poor" who don't have insurance yet use the emergency facilities as their "doctor."

We already have a health care delivery system, and an administrative system, Medicare, that know how to work with each other. All we need to do is fund it.

Millions of people who are now paying for their insurance can pocket that money.

Millions of people who are now getting "free" insurance through their employer can ask for raises to compensate for the new tax. Said raise to come from the money the employer is no longer having to pay for insurance.

Looks like a win win to me. Who will oppose it? Everyone who think they are now getting "free insurance." Everyone who think that the "poor" aren't supposed to pay for their health care. Everyone who think they don't need health insurance.. that would be mostly the young and dumb. Everyone who think that the current system is OK.

So it doesn't have a chance.

But at some point it is going to have to be fixed. A national sales tax is the only way to pay for it that would be acceptable. It can be made fair by exempting certain "essentials" such as unprepared food, utilities, gasoline/fuel, used cars beyond a certain age, etc.
