Survey of the World 27 December

Some days, I have to go over to Jerry Pournelle's site to be reminded that Despair is a sin. That inoculation works, for a while. Then I go out onto the 'Net and see
2009: A year of new lows by Frank Miele. Frank is a national treasure, though not so widely known as he should be. And he has hit quite squarely upon the matter.

Flight 253 terrorist Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab led life of luxury in London before attempted attack a report out of the NY Daily News. that would seem to refute the idiot notion that terrorists are driven by poverty and despair. An idiot notion, pretty much a lie in reality, that was once pronounced by Buraq Hussein Ubama. Odd, is it not, that the LameStream Media almost always overlook the Muslim connection in these deeds of evil?

Perhaps this will make you giggle, briefly. "Don't Say We're Violent, Or We'll Kill You" from John Hinderaker. An article worth reading, and backed up by the listing, 9-1/2 pages of single-spaced listings of MUSLIM terror attacks in just the last two months. Go look. 'Great Religion of Peace' my rump. A cult of demons, in fact. "Allah" is the name of a demon, just like Beelzebub, Asmodeus, and so forth. Islam is as much a false and evil religion as the cults of Dagon, Ba'al, and Asherah ever were, and in fact have some points of continuity. Hinderaker's story owes much to this one as well, also recommended: Headless Death Threat Sent to Leading Counter Jihad Website Just more of those fun-loving jihadists.

Changing gears a bit, how about a small issue of a state government FORCING owners of small independent businesses to 'join' (meaning pay tribute to) a union? Sound un-American? It is. Sound like something the Fascists, the Nazi's, or the Communists (and they are all pretty similar, actually) might do? Right again! Sound like, oh, Michigan? Ding ding ding! You win! Or lose. Whichever. Here it is: Michigan Forces Business Owners Into Public Sector Unions If you think that this was done with the active connivance of the organized crime mob of SEIU, a group with some very interesting ties to Ubama, you'd qualify for a bonus prize.

And some similar idiocy is going on at the national level as well. Hows that Hoax and Chains working out for you? Try this on. Obama union push stymies contractors
