Threat Update What are the greatest threats we are facing as a civilization? 1.  The U.N.  2.  Cloned Pandas of Mass Destruction  (we must credit Sadly, No! for that snappy descriptor of #2).  But what are the greatest threats to AMERICA?  For that we go to Old Young Conservative Christopher Fry (and if he's the British playwright who wrote The Lady's Not for Burning, he's a WAY old young conservative.) In any case, here he is to update you on threats.  All emphesis in the original.    Islam and the ACLU In case you do not know it, the freedom Americans have long cherished and fought to protect and preserve is rapidly being taken from us; freedom assured for us in the U. S. Constitution by our nation’s founding fathers. We true Americans are being tested and challenged by certain groups and individuals, as to whether we will stand up to them or not. [snip] Islam:  President Bush and others have referred to Islam as a “peaceful religion” and say that Islam itself is not America’s enemy. And I say, “Wanna’ bet? [snip] Let’s see just how “peaceful” it is in light of some verses from the Quran, the Islamic creed:  • “Muhammad is God’s apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless to the unbelievers but merciful to one another” (Victory 48:29) • “Believers, obey God and obey the Apostle, and let not your labors come to nothing” (Muhammad 47:33) [snip] Some "peaceful religion"! Notice that the verse at the top instructs Muslims to be “ruthless” to the unbelievers (all non-Muslims). “Ruthless” is synonymous with “terror.” From Meriam-Webster Main Entry: ruth·less Date: 14th century : having no ruth : MERCILESS, CRUEL Other translations render the adjective as "harsh."  And the second verse cited instructs Muslims to obey what the first one says, as if they needed any further encouragement.  Therefore, it is plain that terrorism is a fundamental, Islamic doctrine taught to all Muslims, not just to so-called "extremists" or "radicals," and is to be carried out on all "unbelievers," meaning, all who are not of the Islamic faith. In my view, Islam operating within the United States is the greatest threat to America and American freedom this nation has ever faced. It is the equivalent of the AIDS virus living within the human body.  WHY IS THIS GRAVE THREAT TO OUR NATION AND ITS FREEDOM ALLOWED TO LIVE AND OPERATE IN OUR COUNTRY, WHEN IT'S OWN EXPRESSED "MISSION" IS TO TAKE IT OVER AND "TO CHANGE IT"!??? Surely Mr. Fry has made his point, based on these out-of-context verses from the Koran.  Why won't President Bush see the truth and jail all the Muslims??????  And those Christians too, since, as Jerry Falwell pointed out, their God was always telling them to kill Midianite, Philistines, and other groups of non-believers.  They sound pretty dangerous to me.  And ruthless too! ACLU: Everyone should read the article by Joseph Farah, of WorldNetDaily.com, entitled, ACLU – America’s Taliban. It correctly states many things about the real intent of the ACLU, which is a far cry from what American’s have been told. Listen to the following words from Farah’s article, which give evidence of the real aim and purpose of the ACLU in its early days: “It’s a hate group…founded by Soviet-loving socialist radicals like Roger Baldwin. Wow, and the ACLU is helping Rush Limbaugh!  Now it all makes sense!  Yes, Comrade Limbaugh has shown his true colors, since "birds of a commie feather flock together." So, we warn you to be on the lookout for Muslims, card-carrying members of the ACLU, the U.N., and cloned pandas.  They are all armed and dangerous.  If you see any of them, notify your nearest Young Conservative office. 6:53:19 AM

We Are So Proud While we may never win a Koufax award (thanks, BTW, to everyone who voted for us -- we'll buy you lunch once we rule the world), we DID win a coveted award in the Norbizness blogroll contest (scroll down so you can read each of the three parts of the awards ceremony).  Yes, we were voted (by Norb) "Most Likely To Secretly Desire Receiving a Late-Night Obscene Phone Call From Ben Shapiro."  And it is true that we would like to make a man of young Ben, if you know what we mean.  Yes,  by forcing him to join the Army and serve in Iraq. Since we were quite impressed with Norb's contest, maybe we'll steal it and give out our own awards too.    Verrry Interesting ... But STUPID!     A new feature in which we briefly comment on some of the ideas floating around in the blogosphere, so we can make fun of them.  (We plan to run another "You Asked For It! feature as soon as somebody asks for something, but until then make do with this homage to a '60s catch phrase.)     1.  So, Ayn Randian Princess (and Sadly, No!'s best gal pal) Amber Pawlik has written a new column  in which she exhorts us all to try to live out the drama of Atlas Shrugged in the only way practical: by reverting to primitive agrarian self-sufficiency.  This is so we won't have any income, and therefore won't have to pay taxes. The idea is this: if you can fix your own leaky faucet, heal your child’s cuts and bruises, paint your own house, perhaps even grow your own food and make your own clothes, how can they loot that? And if you conduct your own national defense (and presumably invade Iraq on your own, since Amber is very hip on that), then you don't have to fill guilty about taking without giving anything back, a thing which Ayn would have frowned upon. The main problem in what I said is that we would revert backwards – when men cannot trade, this is primitivism. Hey, if it means we don't have to pay taxes, a slight inconvenience like the end of modern civilization is nothing! So, thanks Amber, for a very interesting (but stupid) idea. 2.  In an item titled "NOW THIS IS TROUBLING," Glen Reynolds links to the story about William Krar, the guy in Texas whose storage locker was found to contain cyanide compound and other chemicals which could be used to create poisonous gas, as well as "nearly half a million rounds of ammunition; more than 60 pipe bombs, machine guns, silencers and remote-controlled bombs disguised as briefcases; plus pamphlets on how to make chemical weapons, and anti-Semitic, anti-black and anti-government books." Glen says: What's not clear from the investigation is what, exactly, they planned to do with this stuff. One thing that's troubling is the potential for cooperation between Arab terrorists and domestic extremists. Yeah, because the possibility of terrorism isn't REALLY troubling unless swarthy foreigners are involved.  Glenn updated this item a couple of times, first in response to a reader who indicated it was scary that Krar was investigated and this cache discovered only because of a fluke (a misdirected package), and then to point you to someone who went even further with Glenn's ideas: UPDATE: [snip] Though domestic extremists are a different breed, and often seem to view the accretion of huge arsenals as an end in itself -- they're waiting for some future date when war breaks out against the "Zionist Occupation Government." That provides only limited comfort, however, as one can never be sure when they'll decide that the time has arrived. ANOTHER UPDATE: Justin Katz has more worries. And what are Justin's worries?  He quotes Glenn's bit about the domestic extremists just waiting for the war against the "Zionist Occupation Goverment" to be anounced, and says The scary thought to which this led me is that these extremists will realize that the Z.O.G. has already reached the highest tiers of our government (hint: the name with which they disguise themselves starts with "neo").  When they figure that out, the right-wing nuts will find that they have common cause with the left-wing nuts, who have common cause with the "diverse" "third-world" nuts, who already have common cause with the sort of people who have maps to bomb shelters and weapons caches tattooed on the soles of their feet. Yeah, because, as we all know, "neocon" is code for "Jew," and the left-wing nuts hate the neocons.  So, as soon as the white-supremacist/militiaist nuts like Krar (who already hate the government and the non-Aryans, but never realized that Jews were running things) figure this out, they will join up with the left-wing nuts who denounce Feith, Perle, Wolfowitz, etc., for being too warlike -- and then both groups will team up with the Arabs (who also hate the Jews), and their combined forces will DESTROY AMERICA. A worrisome idea.  But STUPID! 3.  God is Pro-War.  At least, per Jerry Falwell.  Jer concedes that Jesus did preach peace, but reminds us that the Old Testament if full of stories where God called upon the Children of Israel to wipe out various groups. Throughout the book of Judges, God calls the Israelites to go to war against the Midianites and Philistines. Why? Because these nations were trying to conquer Israel, and God's people were called to defend themselves. President Bush declared war in Iraq to defend innocent people. This is a worthy pursuit.  In fact, Proverbs 21:15 tells us: "It is joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity."  One of the primary purposes of the church is to stop the spread of evil, even at the cost of human lives.  If we do not stop the spread of evil, many innocent lives will be lost and the kingdom of God suffers.   See, the Midianites and Philistines were trying to conquer Israel, and so the Israelites had to smite them in self-defense.  And while it wasn't self-defense for America to invade Iraq (now that those pesky WMDs never existed), it was WORTHY to smite Saddam (God cares not about violations of international law ), for we were helping to advance His kingdom.  Another interesting idea.  Oh, but very, very stupid. And that concludes this edition of "Verry interesting, but stupid.  Tune in tomorrow when we're sure to introduce yet another new feature.  We'll keep doing it until one of them catches on. 4:17:09 AM
