Lives in a Shoe

9/11

I remember who did it -- and after ten years of studying and trying to understand, I know why.  If you really want to honor the brave and the innocent dead, educate yourself.  Read the Koran.  Then look up "Abrogation".  There is a lot more to know but that will give you a start.

All this self-indulgent wallowing around in "tribute" --  maybe it would be better to quietly put a plaque somewhere at the Pentagon, at the WTC site, and in Shanksville.  All this other hoopla is a bit too show-biz for my taste.  We are not that weak, that teary, that old-womanish. If this were a movie, somebody would slap us silly and order us to get a grip.   

We are Americans, strong and brave. That is what we should never forget.

Having said all that, and in a nod to inconsistency:  Here's the Budweiser 9/11 tribute -- shown once.  I remember I saw it and tried to describe it to George and could not stop crying.  Still affects me like that.

 

Well Done

ACLU gets it right.  Terry Jones cannot be denied his right to demonstrate in front of a mosque in Dearborn.  And the transit worker who burned a Quran has been reinstated after being fired for doing so.

"The fact that society may find speech offensive is not a sufficient reason for suppressing it. Indeed, if it is the speaker's opinion that gives offense, that consequence is a reason for according it constitutional protection. For it is a central tenet of the First Amendment that the government must remain neutral in the marketplace of ideas."

Chief Justice Rehnquist, HUSTLER MAGAZINE v. FALWELL, 1988

 

The Islamization of the World

Metronieuws has an interview with Afshin Ellian, a witness for the defense in the Geert Wilders trial in Amsterdam...Here's the key passage:

You said the Wilders Trial reminds you of justice in your country of origin, Iran. Is that not somewhat exaggerated?

“The Netherlands, of course, is not comparable with Iran, but it's about perception. If you cannot say that Islam is a backward religion and that Mohammed is a criminal, then you are living in an Islamic country, my friend, because there also you cannot say such things. Here I'm free to say that Christ was a faggot* and Mary was a whore, but apparently I should stay off of Mohammed.”

Heart of a Lion

Geert Wilders. His trial began yesterday in the Netherlands -- the charge: Hate Speech. Translation of his statement to the court below the break:

Let's Save the Children from this Multi-Culti Idiocy

Barbie's 50th -- a Burqa Barbie, auctioned to benefit Save the Children. 

  

Listen, Mattel.  You cannot pontificate about "choices for women" while hawking a doll wearing an article of clothing often compulsory under penalty of death.  Well, I guess you can -- but then we can refuse to give you any of our money.  And pay attention here -- ALL CULTURAL PRACTICES ARE NOT WORTHY OF THE SAME LEVEL OF ACCEPTANCE AND RESPECT.

If you think they are, then I eagerly await Suttee Barbie.  Or Ken, with four Harem Barbies.  Jihad Joe, with suicide belt.  The multi-culti marketing possibilties are endless.  See this, from The Peoples Cube.

Mattel Sponsors Genitally Mutilated Burqa Barbie Doll --

One of the world's most famous children's toys, Barbie, has been given a makeover -- wearing a burqa that fully covers an anaotomically correct body of a young genitally mutilated Muslim woman with an amputated clitoris and the labia majora stitched together with thorns and ligament of a hyena.
