Traitors In Our Midst Once Again

News broke today about a classified (which is not so classified anymore) Army operation where terrorists were baited, and snipers would take them out. Basically the Army would “bait” terrorists to come pick up items such as detonation cords (or other items terrorists would use to build bombs) and then the snipers would take them out. Now it’s not just news that this operation was taking place which of course outrages the America-haters in our government, but the story tells of how three snipers are now being charged with murder. The Washington Post felt the need to explain all about this “classified” operation, which of course satisfies their agenda to see America lose this war. Supposedly, these three snipers killed innocent civilians (innocent because they hadn’t fully built the IED’s they were trying to make I’m sure) and planted these materials on them to make the killings looked justified. Yes, I’m sure three snipers have nothing better to do than to shoot a few innocent civilians and then plant materials on them because they aren’t busy enough trying to take out the enemy.

So a baiting operation was taking place. The problem with this is…? Oh wait, we may not be playing fair. After all, Iraqi civilians can’t afford bomb-making materials, so who could blame them for picking up free materials they find…because I’m quite certain every Iraqi targeted in the operation was just some poor soul out for a walk that happened to run across parts to make a bomb and figured he’d pick them up to take home and let the kids play with them. Give me a friggin’ break. And now we have three soldiers who were trying to kill those who want to destroy us being charged with murder. Oh, and you can forget about this operation taking place anymore since it’s now public knowledge as to how it’s conducted.

And I wonder why the couple of Marines I was talking to last night who were wounded in Iraq expressed a ton of frustration about being there. They said each day they felt tentative about doing their jobs because they wondered what might happen if they shot someone because of times charges have been brought against soldiers for trying to win a war. Isn’t that just sad beyond belief? And that’s our government for you…send the soldiers to war and make them fight with one hand tied behind their back. What a bunch of gutless pieces of crap we have running this country.

And considering they let the modern-day Hitler come to this country and not do something about it, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.

Cowards

Tonight was the only "real" debate thus far as Values Voter sponsored a GOP debate, and this was the first debate that none of the big 4 attended. The arrogance and cowardice of the big 4 is a HUGE slap in the face to those of us with true conservative values looking for strong leadership for this country. John McCain, Rudy Guliani, Mitt Romney, and Fred Thompson seemed to have better things to do than participate in a REAL debate where REAL issues are discussed and where the questions truly reflect what conservatives are looking for in a candidate. And after watching the debate, I can see why they were too scared to attend - the questions were not fluff and actually forced candidates to truly take a stand on what they believe and what their values are.

I never was a fan of Guliani, Romney, or McCain and felt indifferent about Fred Thompson…until tonight. Those who chose not to attend such an important debate because they were too scared to do so, and that’s exactly why they didn’t attend, have ZERO business asking for votes from conservatives. Tonight, the big 4 showed they are part of the problem, and not a solution by any means. The ones who took the stage tonight, even though I may not completely agree with all of them, at least had the guts to lay it all out there and tell us where they stand on REAL issues. This was the most informative debate I’ve watched, and I’m glad I did. If anything, it solidified the fact that I will not vote for one of the big 4. So what happens if in November of 2008 it comes down to something like Hillary Clinton versus Fred Thompson? I will not vote for either. Like Tom Tancredo stated tonight, I am so sick of trying to decide between the lesser of two evils.

Also, I was pretty happy to hear Alan Keyes tonight. I shouldn’t be surprised, but I really can’t believe how much his entering this race was ignored. Oh wait, I forgot, you can’t be black and be a conservative according to the media.

Ummm...aren't we in a war against these people?

Here as a truly disturbing article talking about how our own justice department is co-sponsoring a convention being held by the Islamic Society of North America. You can read it here

Oh sure, people can tell me "But Bo, this is just an Islamic group...we aren't in a war against Muslims, just terrorists". Well if you read the article, this group is "an unindicted co-conspirator in an ongoing federal terrorist funding case". So why in the hell would our justice department have anything to do with this??? This question gets answered by Mrs. Lorenzo-Giguere when she states "This is an important outreach opportunity, and a chance to reach a community that is at once very much discriminated against, and very wary of the national government and its willingness to protect them".

Now I feel bad. I had no idea this community lived in such fear. Maybe it would be a good idea for all of us to show support and compassion for those who want to cut the heads off infidels, blow up innocent people all because they don't believe the crap that the followers of such a "peaceful religion" do, and strive for the day when Islam rules the entire world. I can't believe how insensitive my grandparents were when they didn't offer to reach out to the Japanese and Germans during World War II. Maybe it would have put a quicker end to the war. Now we have a chance to learn from history. We can reach out to those who want to kill and oppress us, and in doing so learn to co-exist peacefully. And to think our own government is doing this just fills me with warm fuzzies. If only I wasn't such an intolerant hate-monger!

Until our government will wake up and truly understand the nature and ways of our enemy, we are in big trouble. From everything I've been learning about jihad...our enemy has no problem waiting for generations before launching an attack. So just because we haven't been hit since 9/11 doesn't mean that we are winning...it just means our government will become more complacent. This news story makes me sick and once again shows we have no leaders with a clue as to what's going on.

The Dangers of Islam

Hey everyone, I took a little bit of a hiatus from politics for a little bit because it was honestly getting me too ticked off. I found myself reading what was going on and getting so frustrated about it, I knew if I wrote anything it might be seen as some madman on a rant. Well, events in this world are just too important NOT to say something about, especially if it can shed some light on truth.

I watched one of the most informative and disturbing movies this weekend. It's a documentary called "Islam - What the West Needs To Know". If you really want to be informed about the struggle we are involved in right now, I would suggest checking it out. Now it's pretty dry as far as documentaries go...lots of clips of the same 4 or 5 guys talking and not tons of footage from mosques or protests, but the footage that was shown was pretty scary. For example, they played a video from some protest or rally or whatever it was in England from about a year ago, and there were a bunch of Muslims chanting "jihad", and then some imam (or whatever they are) got on a microphone and spoke about the need for Islam to rule the world with that Sharia law. They also showed a clip from some middle eastern TV show where viewers could call in, and one of the calls was from a 12 year old that couldn't wait to blow himself up and become a martyr for allah. The imam who responded said how proud he was of the child and all sorts of sick stuff. One of the guys featured in the movie was a former PLO terrorist that became a Christian. He spoke in great detail about the Muslim faith and how evil and violent it really is. He confirmed something I had thought for a while, and that was there are two kinds of Muslims - one is a casual Muslim that may attend a mosque every so often but doesn't really follow the faith, much like someone who says they believe in God yet doesn't live what The Bible states...the other is the true Muslim that knows that the faith is to be spread by killing people until Islam controls the world. Now, those true Muslims may appear to be peaceful and law-abiding here in America or Europe or England or wherever...but the teachings they follow tell them to act that way so no one knows what they're up to. For example, he was talking about living in Chicago and being at work when CNN was showing video from the Gulf War in 1991. People he worked with were concerned about the American soldiers and he chimed right in with them sounding like a patriot, but he said that in his head he was cheering the death of every American...as they were taught to do. Keep up appearances to fly under the radar. Makes you wonder, doesn't it? Another thing he discussed in detail was the use of blame and guilt to further their cause of domination. Now this should honestly be pretty obvious, but it amazes me how many people don't realize this. For example, there's the Muslim ACLU called CAIR, the Council on American Islamic Relations...like we really need it but whatever. If anyone in the media like a radio host or newspaper or whoever says ANYTHING bad about Muslims then CAIR comes out screaming and pointing fingers claiming that person is a bigot or intolerant or a hate-monger. A lot of people get so scared about their careers being put in jeopardy that they keep their mouths closed when CAIR threatens them. Thankfully some people have balls enough to say what needs to be said. CAIR has PROVEN terrorist funding ties, yet are treated like some mythological branch of our government...like those commie bastards in the ACLU.

Islam is spread through conquest...that's the history of it. I know, you might be wondering about The Crusades where evil European Christians killed people in the name of God, right? Well, that's not exactly how it happened. The Crusades started because Muslims were slaughtering Christians making a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, so an army was dispatched to protect them. Oh I know, a wee bit different from what we learned in the public school system. There weren't just a bunch of innocent non-Christians living their lives peacefully only to be victims of barbarian Christians...it was barbarian Muslims who were trying to kill those who didn't adhere to Islam. Yes, parts of the Crusades had rogue armies pillaging and so forth...and sadly that happens in just about any war...but overall the Crusades were fought to fight off Muslim occupation.

Do you know what the one common thing that all cults and false religions have in common? The ONE thing they all have in common is when ONE MAN claims to have received divine revelation from God. For example, look at Jim Jones. Just a quick background, he's the one who started the cult that resulted in the death of over 900 people when they drank poisoned kool-aid. He claimed God gave him specific instructions that differed from the Bible, and that only he really knew the truth. It's this way with any cult or false religion. Now look at Islam. How did it start? One man, Mohammed, claimed to have been given all these words from God. The Bible was written by many men...yet Islam all comes from one man. Early writings of the Koran are considered the "peaceful" part of the religion. This was at a time when Mohammed was living in Mecca and didn't wield much power...so basically he wrote a message about people getting along and so forth. It was once he gained a following and moved to Medina that the writings became more violent and about control and conquest. So how was this difference in the writings justified? Easily...as the Koran states:

"Whatever a Verse (revelation) do We {Allah} abrogate or cause to be forgotten, We bring a better one or similar to it. Know you not that Allah is able to do all things?"

So there you go...this god will just change his mind on a whim and tell you to do something different from what was stated previously. So earlier in the Koran where it tells you that you shouldn't lie is made ok later if the lie is told to cover your intentions in jihad. The ones who claim this religion is "peaceful" are more than happy to quote early writings, yet somehow dismiss publicly the rest of it.

Now I know that some look at Christianity as some evil, controlling, and judgmental religion. My opinion on that is that some will judge the Christian faith on the actions of the minority because the media LOVES to see some hate-monger evil Christian do something wrong. Yes, I'm all for people being called out when they screw up, but as a Christian it should never be done for selfish gain or to make myself feel better...it should only be done to actually try and help the other person. It's like when the Apostle Paul called out Peter for incorrect teachings...Paul didn't do it to show that he knew more or was more righteous, he did it because he wanted to help Peter and make sure that others were learning correctly. I hear sometimes about my faith being crammed down someone's throat...not an accusation of me...but as a general statement of Christians who try to explain to others about Jesus. I'm sure there are times someone beats them over the head to the point of pissing them off...however that's not what The Bible says to do when a believer is sharing their faith.

"If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town." - Matthew 10:14

Those are the instructions of Jesus. Basically don't beat someone over the head with it...if they want to know more then awesome...if not then it's not your fault and move on. Compare this with how the Koran teaches "peaceful" Muslims to share their religion...

"Then when the Sacred Months (the 1st, 7th, 11th, and 12th months of the Islamic calendar) have passed, then kill the Mushrikun {unbelievers} wherever you find them, and capture them and besiege them, and prepare for them each and every ambush. But if they repent and perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat {the Islamic ritual prayers}), and give Zakat {alms}, then leave their way free. Verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." - 9:5

There you go. The "peaceful" religion tells it's followers to kill those who don't believe in Islam. The only way to avoid that is to become a believer. So, my evil and judgmental faith says to shake the dust off your feet and move on, yet this religion of peace that's been hijacked by radicals tells it's followers to kill unbelievers if they won't convert. There was a part in the documentary I watched where the former terrorist who became a Christian asked "What part of the word 'kill' do people not understand?"

I truly urge everyone to watch this documentary to see the real danger we all face. It basically reinforced what I already thought. Those who think we (America) have caused terrorism, or that if we just leave Iraq they will leave us alone are EXTREMELY naive. Their behavior has gone on for centuries...spread Islam through conquest. Until this country wakes up and the supposed "leaders" truly address what we are fighting against...I honestly fear that we are in a lot of trouble. No one in Washington wants to get rid of the word "extremist" when talking about the war we are in. We are seeing the true face of Islam...research it for yourself. Look at how the middle east reacted when cartoons of Mohammed were published, listen to the chants of "god is good" on the terrorist videos while they're sawing someone's head off, and then also look at how CAIR comes to the defense of ANY Muslim who is under investigation here in America for possible terrorist activities. Those of you who think that we can reach out and just get along with them would be the first ones showing up on an internet video headless after meeting with them if you went to the middle east. Yeah, it's true, and if you don't believe me then go right ahead and travel overseas to reach out to this "peaceful" religion. Also, if you've tried to contact me via the bo@boforsenate.com email, someone really did a number on it and I get about 2,000 emails of spam a day. I entered a different email on my profile here, so if you leave me a comment then I will definitely get it without it being lost in the middle of ads for increased performance in bed or hot investment tips.

Nothing To See Here...Just Move Along...

So some news sources are saying that Al-Qaeda are alive and well and here in America ready to launch some major attacks. But we can all sleep well because President Bush and Homeland Security Director Michael Chertoff are downplaying these reports. I feel much better now. After all, this is the same Homeland Security Director who chastised the Senate for not passing the amnesty bill and the same President who would rather leave our borders WIDE open just so we can have better trade relations with Mexico. Plus, it’s not like any members of The Minutemen have ever come across OTM’s (other than Mexican…a term used by The Minutemen) when they’ve patrolled our borders. Oh no, that’s NEVER happened. We weren’t hit on 9/11 by people who were here illegally with expired visas, right? So what if some cockroach from the middle east sets off a bomb in a major city…that’s better than actually enforcing the law and possibly offending someone.

This report about Al-Qaeda gaining strength here should be nothing new to those of us with a bit of common sense. All it takes is a few of these terrorists to do MAJOR damage…and yet our borders are still wide open. I really hate to say this, but I don’t think this country will truly wake up and take back this country until we get hit again. I think the founding fathers set up a great system of government, however I have no faith in the vast majority of the people who comprise our government. And now the members of Congress approved a bill to start withdrawing from Iraq.

This is where we are - we are in a war with people worse than Nazi Germany, we have borders that are wide open our government refuses to secure, and a Congress that has no concept of the war we are in. I hate to sound like some militant nutjob…but I’ve been telling all my friends to buy a gun because sometime very soon it’s all going to hit the fan. The majority of the people in our government have failed in every aspect of what they are supposed to do to keep this country safe because they are more concerned with keeping their jobs, their contacts, and the monetary support of various special interest groups. And like I’ve asked before, what do we do? The “system” is set up to keep us regular Joe’s with common sense out of office. What do we do? All I can do is pray…I pray every day for this country and our soldiers who are doing an amazing job considering how our own government keeps one hand tied behind their backs.

Each day I think more and more that this government no longer serves the will of the people, and we are just basically told “too bad”. This is where we are…and it pisses me off.

Let's Save Some Time

I read today that the horrible torture chamber known as the prison at Guantanamo Bay may be closed (the article is here - http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070621/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/us_guantanamo_12). The plan calls for the movement of the “alleged terrorists” to places on U.S. soil which of course opens the floodgates for the ACLU and other communist lawyers to jump in to defend them. Well I have an idea on how our government can save a lot of time and money if they do plan on closing this prison.

I was thinking about last night when I was listening to Michael Savage. A caller was on who flew bombing runs over Germany in World War II. He talked about how they didn’t do precision bombing at all. They knew that military and civilian structures were mixed together, and the only way to eliminate the military targets was to level the areas. And then the guy said that this war now makes no sense…why should we bother taking prisoners…just shoot them on sight. Oh I’m sorry, I know that sounded insensitive. Also, I was listening to Savage’s show earlier this week and someone was filling in for him. I didn’t catch his name, but he said exactly what needs to be said about this war. It is such common sense yet is never addressed this way by the media and our government. He said that the “war in Iraq” is not another war we are in, it is THE major battlefield of the war we are in, much like Bastogne or Normandy was in WWII. I said this numerous times in my Senate campaign, and I know a lot of people feel the same way. He also said this isn’t a way against terrorism, it’s a jihad. It’s us against them…Muslims versus the rest of us. I was so happy to hear that on the radio, because that’s EXACTLY what it is. Our enemy calls it a jihad, so why can’t we? Oh, we have to be sensitive and not offend people who want to saw our heads off…where are my manners? The god they believe in is not the God I believe in. Their god wants that religion spread through violence and death where THE God wants us to share His word, and if someone doesn’t receive it, shake the dust off your feet and walk away. It’s a modern day crusade where “infidels” are having to defend themselves against a religion that spreads its message through the sword. Why this country’s “leaders” are too afraid to call this for what it is baffles me. The only reason I can come up with is that we have a government made up of cowards.

Anyway, back to Gitmo. I have a plan if the government does plan on closing it down that will save taxpayers a lot of money by eliminating lawyers, courts, all of it. We can find out what these guys know very easily - wrap them in bacon and have a syringe filled with pig’s blood…then threaten to inject them with the blood if they don’t confess or give the information we need. If we did that, those guys would rat out anyone if they truly knew anything. This whole process would take a couple of minutes and we could find out who was truly guilty and who isn’t.

I am so sick of our government bending over backwards to make sure we don’t offend “alleged terrorists” that are more than willing to kill me, my family, and destroy this country. But then again, this is the same government that ordered feeding tubes to be put into the “alleged terrorists” who went on hunger strikes yet just sat back while Terri Schiavo had hers removed. Yeah, makes perfect sense, doesn’t it?

More Freedom Lost...

I heard on the radio today as I was driving home from work that Governor Bredesen signed into law the ban on smoking in the workplace. Yes, I’m a smoker so of course I would be against this, but not for the reasons one might think. I have no problem not smoking in places where I’m not allowed. I don’t particulary like it, but it’s not that big of a deal. If it’s someone’s house, a store, wherever…if they have a policy of no smoking, then that’s their right and I will respect it. My problem is with government telling PRIVATELY owned businesses that they can’t allow customers to smoke. I know I wrote something on this several weeks ago, but I think it needs to be repeated.

Why is it I’ll soon be forced to stand outside of a restaurant because a wisp of smoke might bother someone when someone might leave that same establishment and kill a family of four on the way home because he’s smashed out of his mind? Sure, some say that people are dropping like flies from second-hand smoke, but we know for a fact that a lot of people are killed every year by drunk drivers. Why is alcohol not treated with this same sort of scrutiny? One thing I hear from people who are for the smoking ban is that they hope people will quit because they claim they are paying higher insurance rates to cover those who get smoking related illnesses. What I find quite amusing about this is that a lot of those people have no problem downing multiple drinks on the weekends at get-togethers, or at office parties, or watching Monday Night Football. So I guess to them, alcohol doesn’t cause any health problems that might cause a spike in insurance premiums. And I guess my car insurance rates don’t ever go up because of all the accidents caused by drunk driving.

If all this is for health reasons, then our state government needs to close down every fast-food restaurant, remove all junk food from grocery stores, ban the ice cream trucks that drive around during the summer, make concession stands at theaters serve only fresh vegetables, and remove all candy bars from gas stations. If this ban is because of the effect of second-hand smoke, then alcohol needs to be banned as well due to the deaths caused by drunk drivers. Think I’m being ridiculous? Go ahead, try to argue this with me.

If you don’t want to go to a place where smokers are, then go somewhere else. Just don’t tell me how good this ban is while downing several beers and then driving home to munch on some Twinkies. The government has ZERO right to dictate if a business can allow people to smoke…it should be up to the business. So once again, the government thinks they know better than we do. What I would love to see happen is businesses all band together and say “screw this” and allow smoking to continue if they already did. After all, if our state government refuses to enforce immigration laws, then they would need some kind of “comprehensive smoking reform” if businesses refused to abide by this new bs law.
