It's just like the communists.... they're willing to fight for generations and centuries to achieve final victory. The rest of the world, not understanding fully that there is a war going on; try to make nice, and only see the immediate future.<br />
<br />
So lets get some perspective: According to Hindi tradition, this site is the birthplace of Rama. Given how long Hinduism has existed in India (at least 2000 years), I'd say this site was holy to the Hindus long before Islam came along, and of course archaelogy confirms this obvious fact.<br />
<br />
As always, the Muslims came along, butchering and robbing; and saw a holy site. "Aha" said they. "A holy site for us to confiscate." And they destroyed the temple, and built a mosque. Later, they lost control of the area. Eventually, radical Hindus destroyed the mosque, leading to bloodshed. But the Muslims, of course, contend that the Site is "holy" to them, and therefore it belongs to them. After all, they've been there for 400 years!<br />
<br />
Now the lawyers (this being India, likely trained in the British tradition) have agreed.<br />
<br />
Guess what? THE MUSLIMS WON'T BE SATISFIED WITH THIS DECISION!!!!<br />
<br />
They never are. It's a major part of their tradition of conquest. Cordoba, Jerusalem, Constantinople, etc. Take over an important shrine/site and build a new shrine there, in order to cement your presence and your right to be there. (In the interest of fairness, most conquerors do the same.) It's just that when the conqueror is anyone but the Muslims, it's considered wrong. When it's the Muslims.... well, just repeat the mantra: "religion of peace, religion of peace".<br />
<br />
Once again, the strategy seems to be working, and growing increasingly blatant. <br />
<br />
The Ground Zero Mosque sound familiar, anyone?History Snarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14912545029416513061noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246861.post-21437918640695931552010-09-27T19:34:00.000-04:002010-09-27T19:34:47.634-04:00AmazingJust when you think the politicians and bureaucrats that run our security industry have stooped as far as they can, t<a href="http://bigpeace.com/pspoole/2010/09/27/fbi-escorts-known-hamas-operative-through-top-secret-national-counterterrorism-center-as-outreach-to-muslim-community/">hey go a step farther. </a> Now they're running tours for people linked to terror groups. WTF is wrong with these idiots? <br />
<br />
I'm always amazed at how blatant this crap has become. Whether it's the multi-culti groups that want a world government, socialism, or the return of the Caliphate, the asshats out there trying to destroy the Western World are happy to do so openly. And the entire left just shrugs (at best) or asks how they can help (at worst). And then goes out and claims to be proud patriots and defenders of freedom.<br />
<br />
Sigh. There's no hope, I fear.<br />

And unfortunately, a disproportionate number seem to live in Illinois</a>. Reminds me of the editorial I once read when I was an undergrad at Michigan State University. The school nickname there is, of course, The Spartans. And some idiot perfesser wrote a bit about how that should be changed, since the Spartans were evil, reactionary, and blah blah blah. Rather, as intellectuals, the University Community should strive to be more like the Athenians, with their love of art, culture, etc.<br />
<br />
And their love of imperialism, slaughter, etc. But we won't talk about that, I guess.<br />

Their idea was to meet with "moderate muslims" and try to find out some options for defeating and/or preventing terrorist acts.<br />
<br />
The article spoke of what the Brits were told: If you allow us to handle matters for many questions by means of a sharia court, then we'll go back to our mosques and tell our people that we're being treated equally by the British government. If you don't... well we don't know who or exactly why, but some unknown people in the muslim community might decide to commit acts of terror.<br />
<br />
The author of this piece- probably the Baron over at Gates of Vienna- pointed out the flaws. Essentially, the Brits were told "give us preferential treatment over any other religion, and then we'll tell people we're being treated fairly".<br />
<br />
But of course, that's not true. If you are treated preferentially, then it's not "fair" by definition. Thus, they were the proverbial iron fist in the velvet glove: Give us everything the terrorists demand and they won't commit acts of terrorism. We assume, because of course we have no idea who these people are, or why they're doing such things.<br />
<br />
It's all about advancing the Cause. If you can get people to kneel before Islam peacefully, great. If not, then it's the responsibility of all good Muslims to find another way to advance their faith.<br />
<br />
One hand washes the other.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://dailycaller.com/2010/09/09/no-turning-back-imam-says-moving-911-mosque-could-spur-radicals/">All of which came to mind the other day.</a> Because, lo and behold! Our friendly neighborhood Ground Zero imam now claims that, if he were to move the mosque to another, less offensive area, then the-evil-terrorists-who-by-the-way-I-don't-know-and-who-don't-really-follow-Islam will take it badly. So darn, there's nothing we can do about it.<br />
<br />

Sadly, he's not leftist enough to satisfy the dummocrats, and he's not anywhere near conservative enough to satisfy us. People like Arnie, Bush and the like have tried to take the Republican party to the left, which is only possible because the Democrat party has shifted into socialism. But what they forget is that there aren't that many leftists in the US, and thus the farther one goes to the left, the more one alienates everybody to the right of that spot.<br />

And thus we get the Tea Party movement.<br />

Every time I think this administration has hit bottom, they dig a little deeper. Now Bambi and his Minions of Evil specifically<a href="http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/nilegardiner/100051882/barack-obama-bows-before-the-un-over-arizona-immigration-law/"> mentioned Arizona's immigration law in a report to the UN Commissioner on Human Rights.</a> In his opinion, this law shows that the US needs help from the asshats at the UN in the area of human rights.<br />
<br />
It is important to note that the Obama administration’s report to the United Nations will go before the UN Human Rights Council, which <a href="http://www2.ohchr.org/english/bodies/hrcouncil/membership.htm">includes in its current membership </a>some of the world’s worst human rights abusers. The likes of China, Cuba, Libya, Russia, and Saudi Arabia, will have a right to pass judgment over the Arizona immigration law, a humiliation for a great superpower before some of the most brutal regimes on the face of the earth. <br />
<br />
Note the kind and gentle nations that are on the Commission.<br />

This is the great Scottish duo The Corries, doing "Blue Bonnets". I found this last night, while looking for good Highland Marches in honor of Bill Millin. <br />
<br />
I knew the song before, because Natalie MacMaster, an old favorite of mine did a lovely, haunting version of it. At least I think it's the same song. I'm not sure, since I can hear no similarities between them. It might be the instruments, the tempo, etc, but to my untrained ear the two versions are completely different.<br />
<br />
I'm not sure which one I prefer. The fiddle version is, as I said, very haunting. It's got a sad tone to it, which works well for catharsis when one is feeling down. The Corries version, with pounding bodhrans, sounds more like what I guess the song is intended to be: A song to inspire a Highlander to go pummel an Englishman or twenty. So I guess that's a point in its favor. (Not encouraging any random Scot to go a-pummeling, but honestly, that's the point of much of their traditional music).<br />
<br />
Anybody got an feelings either way? <br />
<br />
Anyhow, to warm up for writing this, I watched this video twice, one after the other. Love the song, but something about the video is equally compelling. Maybe it's the internal dork in me, but even the outfits they wear seem cool. I sometimes wish I were younger, so that I would have had the internet as a teenager and young man, when I could have found these traditional or medieval type outfits and worn them as my own particular style. Don't think I could pull them off so well now. Ah well.<br />
<br />
Enjoy.<br />

The bravest of the brave, perhaps.<br />
<br />
Here's the best quote from the story. When Lord Lovat asked him to play, Millin initially refused, because regulations forbade it. Here's the terrific but brief story:<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px;">"....When Private Millin demurred, citing the regulations, he recalled later, Lord Lovat replied: “Ah, but that’s the English War Office. You and I are both Scottish, and that doesn’t apply.”</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px;">Thanks to Mr. Millin for his courage and the inspiration he provided to men who needed it that day. And I hope to someday see him in heaven. I'm pretty sure he'll be there, and I hope he pipes me ashore then.</span>History Snarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14912545029416513061noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246861.post-14345114835012898302010-08-20T10:08:00.001-04:002010-08-20T10:10:04.679-04:00Scary if trueDon't know for certain the truth of this whole affair, <a href="http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2010/08/hostage-negotiationsground-zero-mosque-developer-dictates-terms-for-jiyza.html">but this makes sense to me</a>. Even if we were to <i>assume</i> this article is wrong, the question would remain: Does the Muslim world see it the same way? After all, it's well known that Arafat, a "peace-lover" in the eyes of the Western world, would make a pro-peace statement in the West, and then run home to his cronies and tell the Islamic media that he didn't really mean it, and that the goal of destroying Israel was still there.<br />
<br />
So I don't know. But I figure the smart money is on this being a ploy to make Islam look stronger in the Mideast, and humiliate the US a bit. And if the elite and the politicians are too ignorant to know what they're doing, that's just a bonus.<br />

Not the most original idea, but here's the quote that I think makes the whole article worthwhile:<br />
<br />

<br />
Again, wow. Just wow. Of course the woman who made this comment no doubt considers herself to be waaay smarter than the rest of us, or anyone that doesn't agree with Bambi.<br />
<br />
So Margaret Carlson, here's what I think: Screw you. You're an elitist, arrogant snob who is so convinced of your own superiority that you think everyone that disagrees with you and your ilk does so from stupidity.<br />
<br />
And of course, I suspect you think that everyone who disagrees is also part of the "fringe". Of course, you are too ignorant to realize that, when 70% of the American People disagree with you, there's a good chance that you might actually be on the fringe, and not them.<br />
<br />
But you're too convinced of your own superiority. So again, Margaret Carlson, screw you.History Snarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14912545029416513061noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246861.post-45834926395126082442010-08-19T16:32:00.000-04:002010-08-19T16:32:35.740-04:00Another brilliant moveOnce upon a time, politicians here in Michigan had a brilliant idea: ban smoking in bars. All of them. Across the board. Gotta protect the health of the people, no matter what the cost.<br />
<br />
Opponents warned that it would be a disaster. After all, if people go out to bars to drink, play pool and hang out, they'll often want to smoke. If they can't smoke, then they're less likely to go out. If they don't go out, they won't spend money. Bars will suffer a downturn (possibly fatal) in business, tax revenues will drop, and the economy in the State will suffer.<br />
<br />
But no. Those people are fools. A smoking ban would have no effect. The politicians and anti-smoking people said so! And thus the ban passed....<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.freep.com/article/20100819/NEWS06/8190447/">.... And now behold! </a> 42% of respondents to a recent poll found their business has dropped since the ban went into effect. Along with loss of jobs & loss of tax revenues, the State has even found a drop in lottery revenues.<br />
<br />
Great thinking folks! <br />
<br />
At some point, I hope that politicians and bureaucrats figure out that screwing over small and medium businesses, and costing them money is somehow harmful to the economy. <br />
<br />
But I doubt it. They're all morons.History Snarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14912545029416513061noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246861.post-54144341094725977642010-08-14T15:10:00.000-04:002010-08-14T15:10:31.060-04:00Educational videoFrom grouchyoldcripple: Watch it, know it.<br />

They were talking about the fact that GM is gonna be selling stock again. (Even my mom, a retired GM employee, is uninterested BTW). But what grabbed me and almost set me off is the repeated announcement that GM is "going to go public".<div><br />WTF? I thought that the taxpayers in this country owned the Company already. So isn't that already "public"? Apparently not. They also stated that "the government owns 61% of the Company".</div><div><br />Really? Again, I thought the taxpayers owned it. The government in this country shouldn't own crap! If it's bought with my money, then don't I own it?</div><div><br /></div><div>Grrr. In most cases, the media shills for Bambi and his cronies, but in this case, while it's still the most likely excuse, it could just be that the local news people aren't professional enough to know the difference.</div><div><br /></div><div>Idiots.</div>History Snarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14912545029416513061noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246861.post-91198416912256058262010-08-13T16:00:00.002-04:002010-08-13T16:03:37.499-04:00Jukebox of the MindHere's another entry for Jukebox of the Mind. This one goes back to the fall of 1979. It was a hit then- I heard it almost every time I was allowed to use my mom's 1974 Plymouth Gold Duster to go anyplace. Ah, the joys of AM radio!<div><br /></div><div>To this day, I still don't know if I like this song. After 30 years, I don't think I like it, but I guess there's some room for question. But I know I don't <i>want</i> to like it. It just gets into my head and won't leave. Sigh.</div><div><br /></div><div>At any rate, come with me and escape, thanks to Rupert Holmes.</div><div><br /></div><div><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/BsZ5a5UQvrs?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/BsZ5a5UQvrs?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object></div>History Snarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14912545029416513061noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246861.post-26741172350272152392010-08-12T22:44:00.001-04:002010-08-12T22:53:33.049-04:00Religion of Peace.......My aunt sally!.<div><br /></div><div><a href="http://weaselzippers.us/2010/08/12/saudi-cleric-desire-to-shed-blood-smash-skulls-and-sever-limbs-for-the-sake-of-allah-is-an-honor-for-muslims/">The last paragraph really sets the tone.</a></div>History Snarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14912545029416513061noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246861.post-3556187622484875832010-08-12T21:28:00.003-04:002010-08-12T21:29:40.741-04:00Today's Jukebox HitHere's an entry for jukebox in my head: Sunny Sweeney doing "Next big Nothing".
