Funny how some people just want to blow em out of the water, and think that’s the end of the story… Just like our addiction to oil, and the war in Iraq we need to find and solve the root to a problem or it will grow back like any weed. Typical for some people to think throw endless $$$$ at it until it stops instead of figuring out the root, and stopping it there. People don’t want to risk their lives. It’s a desperate act. Find out why they’re desperate, and solve that dilemma.

but here’s one I really liked:

“The INDIAN navy is already on the job and patrolling the area. But when we sink the mother ship, the bleeding hearts label it as a “captured merchant vessel”, etc.” – venkat, chennai

looks like the disease of political correctness has gone global. The global left – from the socialist dictators to the spineless appeasers with their pie-in-the-sky theories – are the biggest threat to civilization. criminals don’t need hugs, they need a kick in the nuts and an M16 in their face.

To be fair, here is a BBC story saying the toilet paper has no special or religious meaning and does not need to be applied by an ‘elder’.

His self-stated loyalty to “Arab and Pakistani” Americans rather than the entire citizenry of the United States is not how a leader of a free country leads.

Considering that when Soertoro/Obama met the Saudi King, out of all those assembled at the G20, he chose to abase himself before that Saudi King, not the Queen of England. Were the “political winds” of the G20 conference “shifting in an ugly direction” against “Arabs and Pakistani”? Or were they shifting in an “ugly direction” against the United States of America?

Actual quote from “The Audacity of Hope” [pg. 261]: Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific assurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.
