Sr. Chinese army officer says Islamic separatists are biggest danger to the Olympics – big surprise!

Extremist groups of The Religion of Peace are taking matters into their own hands again to spread their gospel message by blowing up 32 Chinese policemen at a border post in Xinjiang, China this week. The Turkestan Islamic Party in China has release a video entitled Our Blessed Jihad in Yunnan and has threatened the Olympics.

The Washington-based IntelCenter, which monitors terrorist communications, has quoted Col Tian Yixiang of the Olympics security command centre as saying, “The Chinese have haughtily ignored our warnings [and]…the Turkestan Islamic Party volunteers…have started urgent actions.”

Wow, big surprise there.  The Chinese have ignored and denied these warnings.  I can’t believe the Olympic Committee has the balls to actually think holding the Olympics in China is a good idea.  China is the last country on Earth that is any sort of good-will standard and should be sanctioned to the gills if anything.  I’m just astounded at the arrogance and ignorance displayed by these groups and the willingness of others to put themselves in harm’s way just to execute another Olympic games.  God bless our athletes and may they be protected from this fanatacism.

How much time do we have left?

I like to keep my eye on the news, watch events unfold around the world, see the calamities pour out on unfortunate peoples around the world and stay informed about the wars being fought here, there and everywhere.

I see California burning, I see the Midwest being drowned, Asia is being rocked by earthquakes, and we had the big tsunami and then Katrina tear things up in New Orleans. I got excited just the other day when I saw gas for under $4.00/gal.

I was around for the gas rationing in the 70s and remember complaining about the price hitting $.75/gal and having the stomach to imagine a world where a gallon of gas cost a whole dollar! Good gawd, here we are at $5.00+/gal for freaking gas in the USA. I think it might be time to tap into the oil reserves. Screw the wildlife, they will figure out how to survive, I need to get to work and back without having to scrape together my life savings for a tank of gas.

Global warming is completely weird too. I mean, yeah we have had acid rain, greenhouse gas, the holes in the ozone layer, sun spots, etc. and Al Gore is telling us that we are going to kill the earth when there’s a pattern of warming and cooling according to scientists that has been going on as long as this planet has been spinning. I don’t think measly little man has the power to kill mother earth on his own.

I do, however think that man has the power to completely screw things up so bad that only the Messiah will be able to save us. I think we’re headed in that very direction and it’s coming faster and faster every day. Talk about time speeding up, it’s exponential with the way technology is going and how crazy the godless scientists are going with their theories and power mongering with all their new discoveries big and small. Space and Genetics, the infinite bigness and smallness and now man has tapped into these things so far that quantum physics and genetic engineering are playgrounds where man can play god.

I find it odd that there are so many apologists for Islam out there defending the rights of a religious movement that has done nothing for the world other than to bring terrorism front and center. There, I said it. Maybe the Quran teaches peace, I don’t know. I don’t even know if I spelled Quran right but I can tell you this. There are Christians, there are Jews and there are Muslims. The Christians have done their fair share of crusading and screwing the world up but we’re over that. The Jews have always been a peaceful people. The Muslims have always been hell bent on destruction, murder, mayhem and chaos. Hey, I call it like I see it. We can point fingers in all directions at one time or another but there’s no other world wide religion out there like Islam that is causing so much horror across the world.

Why don’t people wake up and just see things as they are? It would be nice to be able to succinctly put it all together in a little signs-of-the-times pocket reference book but that’s impossible to do. The closest thing we have is the Bible. It’s just so dang hard to understand! I just wish more people would do their own research and not think that history began at the chapter they found themselves reading in their local high school history book.

There are so many voices talking so loudly with such soothing and seductive messages and they are controlling the minds of the masses with their messages telling people what they have to believe to fit in category A, B or C and then defining the categories and telling the youth that they must choose which category to belong to if they want to prosper in today’s society.

Who should we listen to? Who is the voice of reason in today’s world? Who has the answer? Where do we turn for comfort? Where do we go for shelter when things really start crashing in?

I look forward to your comments.

Talk is cheap – The politics of appeasement

President Bush finally said something I am proud of. It seems that in his past eight years of public speaking he has done little more than build a legacy of providing material to late night talk show hosts. Well, this week he finally spoke as a true leader of nations to the Knesset concerning the appeasement of terrorists.

“Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along. We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: ‘Lord, if only I could have talked to Hitler, all of this might have been avoided.’ We have an obligation to call this what it is –- the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history.”

This really pissed off Senator Barry O’ and the democrats, who are the absolute pinnacles of talky talk, appeasement and symbolism over substance.

“It is sad that President Bush would use a speech to the Knesset on the 6Oth anniversary of Israel’s independence to launch a false political attack. It is time to turn the page on eight years of policies that have strengthened Iran and failed to secure America or our ally Israel. Instead of tough talk and no action, we need to do what Kennedy, Nixon and Reagan did and use all elements of American power — including tough, principled, and direct diplomacy – to pressure countries like Iran and Syria. George Bush knows that I have never supported engagement with terrorists, and the President’s extraordinary politicization of foreign policy and the politics of fear do nothing to secure the American people or our stalwart ally Israel.”

It really saddens me that the man who expects to be President can actually believe that fighting the greatest threat to America’s liberty has strengthened Iran and failed to secure America and Israel. The democrats are so blinded by their lust for power that they will twist the obvious truth and play partisan politics to the point where they deny that fighting terrorism is the only way to stop it.

Did Jimmy Carter’s peace efforts in the middle east do anything to stop Arafat? No, it did not. Did Bill Clinton’s finger wagging do anything to stop the escalation of terrorism against the USA around the world and within our own borders? No, it did not.  In fact, it emboldened the terrorists and brought us 9/11.

Did President Reagan’s ass whupping on Kadafi do anything to stop him? Hell yes it did. Did Reagan’s perceived development of the Star Wars initiative do anything to topple communism and the Soviet regime? Hell yes it did. Has George Bush’s proactive offenses on terrorist nations and regimes done anything to protect us within the borders of the United States and our embassies across the world? Hell yes it has.

History will tell the truth and the democrat party will fail once again this election year, then they will be sent scrambling back to the drawing board full of anger and venom against the policies that will continue to protect our freedom and liberty.
