The Jyllands-Posten Conundrum - where's the riot in the U.S.?

We've seen Islamo-fascists riot the Danish embassy buildings in Jakarta, Beirut, Damascus, Afghanistan and the Austrian embassy in Tehran. So far. Unless I'm missing something else. But in some places, Muslim-owned stores in Canada are doing a better way of protesting without the violence, death or intimidation, by removing Danish products.

But here's one country on it's way to Islamization. Italy negotiated a truce (Ok, I'm being snarky here) with Islamic communities in Italy regarding the depiction of Mohammed and issuing a government apology but also noted, loudly, in the truce papers that:

"the country's population cannot be held responsible or even simply accomplices for things which are instead chargeable to the individual parties to the reprehensible actions, in this case the cartoonists, the publishers and editors of the press that published the caricatures in question:Danish Islamic organizations could take legal steps according to the country's laws and could perhaps see justice done and damages paid for what was illegally published".

Illegally published? See what I mean? Italy's falling prey to Islamization (See "The Islamization of France - A Descent into Hell" - Part I and Part II). Will Denmark be forced into such a societal pressure through lawsuits, threats and intimidations? For those who don't know, the Organization of the Islamic Conference and the Arab League have demanded that the United Nations impose international sanctions upon Denmark. Next it'll be illegal in non-Muslim countries to portray pictures or caricatures of Mohammed in any shape or form. And then, soon afterwards, have blasphemy laws.

Blasphemy laws - nowadays often altered to include blasphemy regardless of religion - still exist in several countries, such as in Austria (Articles 188, 189 of the criminal code), Finland (Section 10 of chapter 17 of the penal code), Germany (Article 166 of the criminal code), Italy, Ireland (See: Irish Constitution), The Netherlands (Article 147 of the criminal code), Spain (Article 525 of the criminal code) and United Kingdom.

How come we don't see any protests around the Danish embassy in the United States? Or in Canada? Or in Australia? Could it be that these Islamo-fascists do not want to have their faces seen and get noted by undercover agents? Perhaps because those who are living in Western countries see how freedom of speech and expression works. This is probably why attacks were made on Danish embassies in areas where clueless Muslims are not used to the Western ideas of freedom of speech and expression. This is akin to experiencing "culture shock" coming from outside. Much like experiencing what the internet is like for the firest time. Shock. Anger. Denial. Acceptance...probably not.

Thousands also took to the streets elsewhere in the Muslim world and parts of Europe, including some 3,000 Afghans who burned a Danish flag and demanding that the editors at Jyllands-Posten be prosecuted for blasphemy.

Afghan President Hamid Karzai urged forgiveness.

"God instructs us to forgive. Therefore, we -- as much as we condemn it strongly -- must stay above this dispute and not bring ourselves ... to equating ourselves to those who have published the cartoons," he said on CNN's Late Edition.

At least Karzai has it down right. Learn to forgive.

Here's a list of Danish embassies worldwide. Impressive. Make a note on which embassies were attacked, too. Be sure to buy Danish products as a show of support.

Fake ID and the Gay Bar Killing Spree

A few days ago we had a deranged 18-year old kid go into a gay bar, showed the bartender his FAKE ID and was allowed in. The killer then proceded to order a drink. Finished it. He then ordered another drink and proceeded in his attempt to kill as many people as possible inside the Puzzles bar room. The actions committed by this looney was disgusting and unwarranted.

Now, having said that. Why do we have fake ID internet companies such as this one here who are out in the open and in operation whose sole job is to produce FAKE ID so underage kids can illegally get into bars when they are under 21 years of age? And help with the illegal immigration problem, too?

Including Massachussetts? Along with 49 other states?

Yet in 2004 Massachusetts came up with the first-in-the-nation-tamper-resistant driver's licenses.

Governor Mitt Romney today unveiled first-in-the-nation, tamper-resistant Massachusetts driver’s licenses that will help curb identity theft and mark the start of an effort to introduce new procedures that will make it harder for terrorists to operate.

"In Massachusetts, a license to drive shouldn’t become a license to steal or commit mayhem," Romney said. The new licenses and identification cards, which will be introduced November 1, contain a host of security features to reduce fraud. One of the most noticeable changes is a hologram-like Kinegram® security feature at the center of the license, which displays unique characteristics when it is shifted or viewed from various angles.

But the governor misses the boat when fake state ID's can be reproduced without much efforts, supposedly so, when internet fake ID companies are becoming a bit more sophisticated in the reproduction of holgraphic IDs as technology continues to improve...for the law breakers.





Being a former certified bartender of long ago, I find the actions of these fake ID internet companies highly repugnant who offer their services to people who want to break the law and put bartenders and bars in legal jeopardy for serving alcoholic drinks to minors! Not only that. Underage kids have the increased propensity to get drunk and get behind the wheel of a car where nearly a third of the 42,000 people killed annually in car accidents were related to drunk driving.

Now, suppose the Puzzles gay bar killer didn't have his FAKE ID or was turned away at the door, would he still push his way through to do the killing? Or did the alcohol take effect by embolding him to go on a killing spree? What people do not understand is that underage drinking takes time and efforts away from police officers seeking to enforce the underage drinking laws.

Underage drinking, domestic violence, unwanted guests, pedestrian accidents, car crashes and motor vehicle fatalities not only takes up our time on the street, they take us off the street as well. While the average officer may react and respond to these calls, preventing them from occurring takes a lot less time and effort.

Then why do we have these internet FAKE ID companies when the law clearly states that fake state IDs are illegal to have or make? Fake IDs also contribute to the illegal immigration problem as well. Even Minnesota isn't blind to this including how one can easily produce counterfeit military ID! When will this insanity stop?

Perhaps biometric is the answer?

Simon Jenkins Gets it Wrong

Simon Jenkins says in the Times Online that "These cartoons don't defend free speech, they threaten it" in the headline of the editorial page.

To imply that some great issue of censorship is raised by the Danish cartoons is nonsense. They were offensive and inflammatory. The best policy would have been to apologise and shut up. For Danish journalists to demand “Europe-wide solidarity” in the cause of free speech and to deride those who are offended as “fundamentalists . . . who have a problem with the entire western world” comes close to racial provocation. We do not go about punching people in the face to test their commitment to non-violence. To be a European should not involve initiation by religious insult.

Many people seem surprised that a multicultural crunch should have come over religion rather than race. Most incoming migrants from the Muslim world are in search of work and security. They have accepted racial discrimination and cultural subordination as the price of admission. Most Europeans, however surreptitiously, regard that subordination as reasonable.

What Muslims did not expect was that admission also required them to tolerate the ridicule of their faith and guilt by association with its wildest and most violent followers in the Middle East. Islam is an ancient and dignified religion. Like Christianity its teaching can be variously interpreted and used for bloodthirsty ends, but in itself Islam has purity and simplicity. Part of that purity lies in its abstraction and part of that abstraction is an aversion to icons.

Ed Morrisey makes a point about editorial cartoons.

Editorial cartoons exist to challenge political thought and expose hypocrisy. Among religions, Islam should be the least protected from this form of speech, as it insists on involving itself in temporal political matters wherever it is practiced. Indeed, it insists on dictating political and legal matters, usually in the most extreme terms, and it uses the life of Mohammed as its claim on political and legal supremacy. Christianity hasn't taken that position in centuries, focusing on the spiritual and individual rather than group diktat. Judaism hasn't had the means to develop that kind of theocratic position for over two millenia until the establishment of Israel, and even then the Chosen have chosen a liberal democracy for themselves rather than rule by the high-priest descendants of Aaron.

Indeed. And the ipso facto thing about this is that Islam want to assert their religious ideology across into the legal, political, and freedom of expression boundaries. Simon Jenkins is wrong to suggest that censorship issue wasn't the problem. It is. That's why those cartoons were printed. With the more extremist Muslim communities who want to extend their ideology deeply into the "freedom of expression" concept by limiting it severely in a country not of their own. This is not about entering blantantly into people's home and not knowing their culture or customs. Or handle or touch incorrectly their Korans. It's about the right to freedom of expression, even if it may offend some people. Just like Michelle Malkin said,

The difference between Us and Them: No one's proclaiming an International Day of Anger and issuing fatwahs over this odious piece of "art." No one's taking up arms, raiding the art museum, or kidnapping the artist. No one's going to blow himself up in protest. Yes, it's insulting. Yes, it's offensive. But it's a picture. Just a
picture.

Simon Jenkins, you are incorrect to say that cartoons threaten free speech. Rather it is that the Islamic community has threatened free speech through intimidation, coercion, force and the threatening the lives of those who have an unpopular opinion.

Copenhagen - A storm of protests and consumer boycotts in the Middle East against Denmark suggest that opponents of freedom of expression "have won", said the editor of a newspaper that published controversial caricatures of the Prophet Muhammed in a report published on Wednesday.

Jyllands-Posten chief editor Carsten Juste said: "They have won. That is the sad fact. I guess that during the next generation no one in Denmark will draw the Prophet Mohammed."

Asked if he regretted last September's publication that had angered many Muslims, Juste said: "If we had known it would have led to boycotts and that Danish lives would be threatened, as we have seen, then the answer is no.

"That would not have been responsible. The costs were simply too high."

Maybe Christians ought to do their own violent complaining over the psychedelic image of Jesus Christ in Denmark? Like here? Or elsewhere here?

Next step? Muslim's gradual control over Denmark's government. Their first step was silencing freedom of expression through fear and intimidation. A short history as reminder, even some video clips, too:

1989: Iranian spiritual leader Ayatollah Khomeini calls on Muslims to kill British author Salman Rushdie for alleged blasphemy in his book The Satanic Verses

2002: Nigerian journalist Isioma Daniel's article about Prophet and Miss World contestants sparks deadly riots

2004: Dutch film maker Theo van Gogh killed after release of his documentary about violence against Muslim women

2005: London's Tate Britain museum cancels plans to display sculpture by John Latham for fear of offending Muslims after July bombings

Which European country will go down first with Muslims taking over?

A Mixed Bag MSM on Reporting Freedom of Expression Rights

Some get it. Some don't. The MSM is usually notorious on not reporting the complete fact. With Sean McCormack speaking for the State Department regarding the latest Mohammed cartoons brouhaha by the Islamic community, many of the media failed to note to readers that the State Department also spoke about that we also "vigorously defend the right of individuals to express views" rather than to side soley to the defense of Muslim's outcry and violence.

CNN reported on the cartoon story, the State Department and Muslim's outrage 3 different times (see here, here and here) but failed to point out about the State Department's vigorous defense for the right of individuals to express their point of views. The San Fransisco Chronicle didn't get it but has a misleading headline. But a German internet newspaper Spiegel Online via the New York Times got it right. So did The Washington Times and The Washington Post.

Powerline Blog makes a note of all this.

Why do some MSM insist on not reporting the actual facts just to make it look like that the U.S. supports the Muslim's outcry and violent reactions?

Islam, a religion of peace? Video Gallery

I'm following Michelle Malkin's lead on "First, they came for..." which is a short video clip on the atrocities of Islamic extremist hate and control. Below I have a list of video links regarding Islam, Muslims and terrorists.

Submission, Part I - Film Clip from short Submission (2004). This metaphorical look at the harsh realities of the lives of Muslim women in the Netherlands got filmmaker Theo van Gogh assassinated November 2, 2004 for producing this clip.

Stones for Apostates (WARNING! VERY GRAPHIC!). Stoning to death is a cruel insane Islamic punishment given to people who are married but still voluntarily have sex outside marraige. This punishment was ordered by the "merciful" Prophet, who ofcourse was the messenger of the "merciful" Allah. Many hadith, including Sahih Bukhari give proof that Stoning was ordered and practiced by Muhammed, for example: Volume 2, Book 23, Number 413: Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar : The Jew brought to the Prophet a man and a woman from amongst them who have committed (adultery) illegal sexual intercourse. He ordered both of them to be stoned (to death), near the place of offering the funeral prayers beside the mosque." 2.2MB - 15 minutes, 30 seconds

Time to Extend Prayers and Rememberance to the victims and families of an Egyptian Ferry Disaster

In a time of vicious protests over Mohammed cartoons, it's time to extend our hands and prayers to the victims and families of the recent ferry tragedy where most of the 1400 passengers may be feared dead or missing.

SAFAGA, Egypt - An Egyptian passenger ferry carrying nearly 1,400 people sank in the Red Sea early Friday during bad weather, and rescue ships and helicopters
pulled dozens of survivors and bodies from the water. At least 263 escaped on lifeboats, the transport minister said.

Most of the passengers were Egyptian workers returning from their jobs in Saudi Arabia. At least four Saudi and four Egyptian ships were involved in the search effort, arriving about 10 hours after the 35-year-old ferry was believed to have sunk.

Just because they are Muslims, we are not and should not be in a position to gloat over the deaths of innocent Muslims of the ferry disaster because of what has happened in the past few days. We should instead offer our prayers and hopes that many will be found alive and safe from harm. Righteousness gloating over innocent deaths is a disgusting form of display. We're much better than that.

the Egyptian ferry, I just wanted to mention that on behalf of the American people, the President extends our deepest condolences to all Egyptians and citizens of other nations who -- other nations that suffered losses. We have offered assistance to help with the rescue attempts. And our thoughts and prayers are with the families of all those who lost loved ones.

Freedom of speech is one thing but it doesn't mean it is about hatred against others whenever people express their opinions even to the distaste of others on paper or voice. Freedom of speech is way where one can express his or her opinions and beliefs but nobody should get murdered over them.

Outrage of Mohammed Cartoons Exposes Islamic Extremists Into Open

Well, with the latest outrage of cartoons depicting Mohammed is certainly bringing out Islamic extremists for who and what they are. And then we have ABC's title emblazoned "US backs Muslims in cartoon dispute." The U.S. do not back Muslim's protests over cartoon caricatures. Who in the hell do you think you are by twisting words to mislead readers? The title should say " U.S. State Department backs Muslims in cartoon dispute." Now, I don't support the state's spineless assertion. Neither does Michelle Malkin. Or any of the other bloggers smart enough to know the difference on tolerance, free speech, and the ability to have thick skins than to rant and rave while frothing at the mouths demanding of those who insulted Islam (too frickin bad) be beheaded.

Now, this is the Achilles heel for those Islamic extremists and supporters of terrorists. They come out and expose themselves for who they are like a little brother crying because his younger little sister hits him in the arm. Thin skinned they are. I'm sure police, under-cover officers, FBI, CIA, NSA, the news media and so on are taking lots of pictures, videos of these people who show their faces as supporters of terrorism, while at the same time making notes, seeing where they live, and who they associate with, etc...

Probably a good thing, right? Just like in the first war in Iraq when U.S. Forces used their psyops to bring the real dumb enemies out into the open only to have their heads shot off.

One was that young Arab toughs cannot tolerate insults to their manhood. So, as American armored columns pushed down the road to Baghdad, 400-watt loudspeakers mounted on Humvees would, from time to time, blare out in Arabic that Iraqi men are impotent. The Fedayeen, the fierce but undisciplined and untrained Iraqi irregulars, could not bear to be taunted. Whether they took the bait or saw an opportunity to attack, many Iraqis stormed out of their concealed or dug-in positions, pushing aside their human shields in some cases—to be slaughtered by American tanks and Bradley fighting vehicles. “What you say is many times more important than what you do in this part of the world,” says a senior U.S. psy-warrior.

I guess it's just a fact that Islamic extremists and terrorists simply cannot handle insults, even if it's against Muhammed or about Islamic terrorists. Maybe have a cartoon about Muhammed losing his manhood? Thick skins they don't have, that's for sure. Just don't say "Your Mama wears Army boots."

Comparing Osama and a Black Christ

A New York artist painted a picture that some claim looks like Osama bin Laden in the depiction of Christ, upside down, at the National Black Fine Art Show in the Puck Building in New York.

But the writer had big problems with a painting by Harlem artist "Tafa". It depicts an upside down Christ-like figure with a face strongly resembling Osama Bin Laden. The email read in part, "This is outrageous. This is an attack against my religion. How can an artist go so low? Most people are outraged, most Christians."

After a little bit of my own artistic creativity, I put the painting rightside up and found a good mug shot of Osama just to compare the two side by side. Looking at them now, I don't think the two resembles anything like each other. Maybe Kayne? It may be offensive but it's just a picture. Not worth going Jihad over this. Remember thick skins now?

The Danish "I'm Sorry" Group Crops up to Apologize to Islamic Fanatics

Remember last year the infamous and really stupid "I'm Sorry Everybody" group? Here's a Danish group doing the same thing. Maybe a trend will start? And somebody will write a book on these "sorry" groups? Or Danish people do a similar "We're not afraid" website to bring in solidarity for those against mindless Islamic terrorist dweebs?

With all the backlash going against the Danish people of Denmark because of what Jyllands-Posten did in printing out caricatures of Mohammed, the editor said it was "worth it" even though there were a few bomb threats where employees scattered like the winds (who wouldn't?):

The call came at five o'clock in the evening. A man warned the receptionist in English: There's a bomb in the building and it's going to go off in 10 minutes. A few seconds later, more than 200 employees -- editors, secretaries and printing staff -- fled the offices of Jyllands-Posten in Denmark's second-largest city, Aarhus. The police quickly turned up on the scene, as did the journalists, photographers and satellite trucks.

Bomb-sniffing dogs sleuthed through the editorial offices and the adjacent printing plant for traces of a bomb. A short time later, the police gave the all clear signal -- no bomb had been found.

It was the second bomb threat within 24 hours, the result of a foreign policy crisis of a scale unlike any Denmark has ever seen before. "We expected these kinds of threats," said Jyllands-Posten spokesman Tage Clausen, looking calm, composed and almost peaceful given the commotion surrounding his newspaper. The bomb threat, he said, just served to show how relevant the debate that the newspaper unleashed four months ago is in contemporary society. In September, Jyllands-Posten, Denmark's highest-circulation newspaper, published 12 caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad -- one showed him wearing a bomb as a turban with the fuse already burning.

How sorry will some Danish people become knowing that the Danish embassy in Jakarta were attacked by Muslim extremists? Well, maybe until Pigs Fly? Right?

Mohammed and His Thousand Papercuts

Hmmm...for the terrorist Mohammeds of the world, worse case of papercuts over themselves over cartoon editorials of the prophet? Maybe they need to lay off the reading those paper cartoon editorials about the prophet before they lose their arms and legs.

Local Gay Bar Serves Alcohol to an Underage Drinker - Kills Gay Patrons

This 18 year old kid is certifiably nutso who went on a rampage wounding at least three supposedly gay people in what police are investigating as a hate crime. But only after being served with alcoholic drinks in a bar called Puzzles Lounge located in New Bedford, Massachussett. Now, I ask this question, what the hell was that kid thinking? Secondly, what the hell was Puzzles doing serving drinks to an underage kid? Minimum drinking age for all states in the United States is 21 years old. I'm sure the bartender/owner will get charged for serving alcoholic drinks to a minor.

Hat tip: Dale.

Until Pigs Fly - Get Your Offical Freedom of Speech Logo

Thick skins they don't have. With all the latest screeching and saber rattling over cartoons depicting Mohammed in various manners and pose, fanatical Islamic fascists are demanding that newspapers and magazines retract their cartoons and issue an apology for printing such horrible depiction of Mohammed. It's time we stand up and support America and the freedom of speech for everybody on all four corners of the earth.



The day when pigs fly is when we fire 130lb bacon grease over Islamic fanatics to ensure their hellish stay. To support the freedom of speech in all corners of the earth by supporting those such as Denmark who are threatened with death by Islamic extremists who are extremely thin skinned, I have provided an "Official Supporter of Freedom of Speech" logo that you can attach to your blogsite as a show of support.

Also, be sure to watch this fitting animated short clip called "When Pigs Fly" hosted by 3D Celebrity.

When Deaf People Go On A Killing Rampage

Yes, there are Deaf/deaf people who do murder other people. They are no different from hearing people murdering others.

Deaf man kills a hearing person - 2005
Deaf man kills his Deaf sister and Deaf brother in law - 2005
Deaf, mute and illiterate man kills hearing person - 2005
Deaf man kills a hearing person - 2005
Deaf man kills a Deaf woman - 2004
Deaf man kills two Deaf men - 2001
Deaf man kills a hearing inmate - 1994

Don't believe that Deaf people do murder other people? Better get this book then.

Is Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey's Action Unethical?

I've been noticing a few lefty deaf bloggers screeching about the old "Freedom of Speech" spiel by citing the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

That's all fine and dandy except that the House Gallery inside the Capitol have always had a law regarding decorum for visitors and how they must conduct themselves while at the Capitol.

2) Violent entry and disorderly conduct. - An individual or group of individuals may not willfully and knowingly - (A) enter or remain on the floor of either House of Congress or in any cloakroom or lobby adjacent to that floor, in the Rayburn Room of the House of Representatives, or in the Marble Room of the Senate, unless authorized to do so pursuant to rules adopted, or an authorization given, by that House; (B) enter or remain in the gallery of either House of Congress in violation of rules governing admission to the gallery adopted by that House or pursuant to an
authorization given by that House; (C) with the intent to disrupt the orderly conduct of official business, enter or remain in a room in any of the Capitol Buildings set aside or designated for the use of either House of Congress or a Member, committee, officer, or employee of Congress or either House of Congress; (D) utter loud, threatening, or abusive language, or engage in disorderly or disruptive conduct, at any place in the Grounds or in any of the Capitol Buildings with the intent to impede, disrupt, or disturb the orderly conduct of a session of Congress or either House of Congress, or the orderly conduct in that building of a hearing before, or any deliberations of, a committee of Congress or either House of Congress; (E) obstruct, or impede passage through or within, the Grounds or any of the Capitol Buildings; (F) engage in an act of physical violence in the Grounds or any of the Capitol Buildings; or (G) parade, demonstrate, or picket in any of the Capitol Buildings. (3) Exemption of government officials. - This subsection does not prohibit any act performed in the lawful discharge of official duties by - (A) a Member of Congress; (B) an employee of a Member of Congress; (C) an officer or employee of Congress or a committee of Congress; or (D) an officer or employee of either House of Congress or a committee of that House. (f) Parades, Assemblages, and Display of Flags. - Except as provided in section 5106 of this title, a person may not - (1) parade, stand, or move in processions or assemblages in the Grounds; or (2) display in the Grounds a flag, banner, or device designed or adapted to bring into public notice a party, organization, or movement.

There are a reason why decorum must take place. Now, did Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey break any ethical rules of the House by giving Cindy Sheehan a House Gallery pass at the President State of the Union Address?

Today, she made a statement using government resources in defense of Cindy Sheehan:

Woolsey Statement Regarding Cindy Sheehan
February 1, 2006
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- U.S. Representative Lynn Woolsey (D-Petaluma) today
issued the following statement regarding Cindy Sheehan’s arrest in the gallery of the House of Representatives before the State of the Union address. Mrs. Sheehan was Rep. Lynn Woolsey’s guest to the President’s State of the Union address.

“Since when is free speech conditional on whether you agree with the President? Cindy Sheehan, who gave her own flesh and blood for this disastrous war, did not violate any rules of the House of Representatives. She merely wore a shirt that highlighted the human cost of the Iraq war and expressed a view different than that of the President. Free speech and the First Amendment exist to protect dissenting statements like Ms. Sheehan’s last night.

“Stifling the truth will not blind Americans to the immorality of sending young Americans to die in an unnecessary war, against a nation that posed no threat to our security. The President's speech last night was yet another attempt to distort history, as he suggested -- once again -- that the 9/11 terrorists came from Iraq. Everyone knows this is not true. We must not be afraid to say that the emperor has no clothes. It's time to bring our troops home.”

Again, remember the rules and laws set aside to assure decorum inside the Capitol building? Seems like Congresswoman Woolsey are encouraging interruptions to occur on a daily basis inside the Capitol building. Did Woolsey committed unethical conduct when she knew the likelihood that Sheehan would purposely violate House Gallery rules that have been there even when Bill Clinton was in office.

How come Congresswoman Woolsey didn't stand up for other protesters who were arrested for "Disorderly and Disruptive Conduct on United States Capitol Grounds" in violation of Section 9-112(b) (4), District of Columbia Code, which prohibits certain conduct in the Capitol Building and on the Capitol grounds?

Two women arrested in 2000 for disorderly and disruptive conduct on Capitol Grounds.

The thing is folks, common sense dictates that a limited forum must take place inside the House Gallery or Capitol. For all visitors just to keep things in control can only watch the procedures of Congresss. If we allow one protester in, we must ALL protesters in. And in doing so will surely interrupt Congress their business on a daily basis and not get things done. It's a matter of decorum.

Pictures of Sheehan Brutal Arrest Treatments

One of the rules while inside the House chamber is there is no form visual display of protest whether it a t-shirt or banners. Cindy Sheehan broke that rule after she unfurled an anti-war banner inside the House chamber. Of course, you can't let that happen and so the Capitol police came and removed her from the crime scene....politely.

She didn't scream. She didn't resist arrest. She didn't flail her arms. She didn't faint. In fact, she expected this all along just to generate more publicity. And to create more controversy, she lies about the treatment she received when she was arrested.

Take a look at these pictures and see whether she was brutally treated as Red State pointed it out much to their chagrin by Cindy Sheehan's wild claim of mistreatment.

Let's look at some photos here from yesterday's arrest and the last arrest she experienced last year outside of the White House and how she was handled with brutal care.

Picture 1 - Cindy is led away from her chair in the House gallery with capitol police holding lightly her right arm to help her lead the way.

Picture 2 - Cindy is led away from her chair while she smiles..clearly so. And not in pain, either. This is larger photo showing the capitol police talking into his communication radio while lightly cuffing Cindy's left arm to lead her away.

Picture 3 - Police escorts Cindy up the stairs out of the House chamber.

And compare the above photos with the ones below when she was arrested outside of the White House last year, smiles and all, by those heartless and brutal police.

Picture 4 - Police hauls her off while she sits in her chair, smiling.

Picture 5 - Cindy with cuffs behind her back before stepping into the paddy wagon.

Picture 6 - Cindy inside the paddy wagon, still smiling from getting arrested.

No sign of pain. No screaming and flailing of arms. No bruises. No lawsuits for police brutality. What else would you expect when one leaves peacefully when getting arrested? But then she had to lie about the next day after getting arrested from the House gallery that she sustained bruises by the Capitol police?

Michelle Malkin has more on the story on how Cindy got a pass to the House gallery.

The Harry Reid Connection – and you thought Abramoff was bad?

Sen. Harry Reid's famous words regarding the Abramoff scandal with Jim Lehrer's Online Hour on January 18, 2006:

Think about this, the "pay and play" program. You as a lobbyist, you pay, and we Republicans will take care of you legislatively. That's why it hasn't come to the forefront. The arrogance of power, the culture of corruption has not come to the attention of the American public as it has the past several months.

And then we have this (be sure to download this, good for one day until 4pm tomorrow courtesy of Rush Limbaugh, if it disappears, go here ) that came out today produced by the Los Angeles Times. And how convenient, too, just 13 days later after Sen. Reid's appearance on Lehrer's show. Right now, for Sen. Reid, who is the minority leader of the Senate, he sits between a rock and a hard place.

The Los Angeles Times' graphical display of the four sons of Senator Harry Reid as well as his son-in-law shows how all benefited from Sen. Reid’s sponsored legislative efforts that have lined their company's pockets of at least $1.5 million dollars. Nepotism at it's best.

Howard Dean seemed to have back-tracked about the Abramoff scandal involving no Democrats just when he thought everything was solid and that the 2006 win would be locked. Things have a way of biting back when Democrats try to claim the "culture of corruption" are all entirely a Republican thing. What kind of a playbook is that?

Dean: "Yeeeeeaaarrrgggh!"

Famous last word.

This is like watching a bad football game with the Democrats making these bad moves and fumbles and their QB's football throws getting intercepted at every turn.

Oh, yeah, go Seahawks!

Alert! The Daily Kos Kids Self-Destruct on Alito's Swearing In

The Daily Kos kids seem to be sufferening a common malady called "a meltdown" in their comments once Alito was finally sworn in as U.S. Supreme Court Justice. One commenter even attempted to minimize the shock in seeing solace on the number of votes that were against Alito.

Most Supreme Court nominees are overwhelmingly confirmed. Justice Ginsburg was confirmed, 96-3. Justice Breyer was confirmed, 89-9. Justice Souter was confirmed, 90-9. Justices Kennedy and Stevens were confirmed, 98-0. Justice O'Connor was confirmed, 99-0. Justice Blackmun was confirmed, 94-0. Justice Thurgood Marshall was confirmed, 69-11. Even William Rehnquist, a polarizing figure in the Nixon Justice Department, was confirmed to be an Associate Justice, 72-26, in 1972. It's very rare that Supreme Court Justices aren't overwhelmingly confirmed. This link supports the assumption. So Democrats should take comfort that they garnered over 40 votes against this nominee.

Still, with a vote of 58 to 42 in favor of Alito still mean one thing, he's the next U.S. Supreme Court Justice. Whether it's 60 to 40, 70 to 30, or 80 to 20, the confirmation means one thing, either the guy gets to be U.S. Supreme Court Justice or not. And we had enough Democrats (19 altogether who voted against for cloture ending the chance for filibuster) to vote in favor of Alito. You might as well as blame Sen. Kennedy, Sen. Biden, Sen. Leahy and Sen. Feinstein for their antics during the Judicial committee hearing. Or else Sen. "Sheets" Byrd wouldn't have condemned the awful tirade and spectacle he had to witness from the screaming, extremist Liberals who had nothing to show for in trying to shake Mr. Samuel Alito down. This was the worse, pathetic display of dripping venom from liberal extremists I have ever seen.

30 more years! 30 more years! 30 more years! 30 more years!

Congratulations Alito. You deserve it.

Interesting little find.

Smith College scientists in Northampton, Mass., say comic books reflect how most people react to threats. Psychology Professor Bill Peterson says in times of social danger and economic turmoil, many people become more aggressive, more conventional, and less interested in feelings and emotions. Peterson's research finds comic book characters reflect the same behaviors

In short, people act out their fantasies in times of stress whenever they read these superhero comic books just to escape these "threats."

Interesting info.

More Big Brothers to Watch Mexico/US Border with Cheap Remote Video Cameras

How ironic is this? First we hear about a Mexican immigration official who got arrested yesterday in Alamogordo, New Mexico .

The U.S. Border Patrol arrested a Mexican immigration official who was allegedly trying to help a group of undocumented migrants sneak into the United States, the Mexican government said Sunday.

Immigration agent Francisco Javier Gutierrez was arrested at a checkpoint near Alamogordo, N.M., about 100 miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border, the Mexican Interior Department said in a news release.

Gutierrez had been fired on corruption allegations last year but returned to his job after winning a court case in which he claimed he had been unfairly dismissed, according to the National Immigration Institute.

A Mexican immigration official gets arrested for human smuggling? Is this a bigger sign of how rampant this problem we have with illegal crossings of undocumented trespassers coming into the United States from Mexico? But of course. This is a problem so serious, in fact, I wondered earlier about how neighborhoods or houses near the border could set up remove video cams to monitor the border is in fact coming to fruition.

A group called "Friends of the Border Control" has just begun their own Remote Video Surveillance (RVS) setups costing only several thousand dollars for each camera compared to what Dept of Homeland Security Inspector General, Richard Skinner, said in his testimony, Dec. 16, 2005 before a subcommittee of Homeland Security that their RVS system takes on average 20 months to complete. It was also previously reported by DHS that the cost is $800,000 per camera. Is this the typical mindset of government waste? How about a little creativity here, Richard?

FBP's costs are between $5,000 and $7,000 depending on terrain and specific equipment needed for both. What it costs for DHS for one camera, FBP can launch approximately 100-120 cameras systems for about the same cost (to install one DHS RVS camera).

And in doing so, FHB plan to install these remote video cameras on private properties with the owner's permission because frankly this DHS's action on this illegal immigration problem from Mexico is moving much too slow.

After the latest information, published first by the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin, FBP has seen enough inaction by the Bush Administration and hierarchy at the Department of Homeland Security. As our mission has always been to help the U.S. Border Patrol and their agents, while improving the quality of life for border community residents, we are announcing our Freedom (or Free Electronic Domestic Observation and Monitoring) System will be launching shortly.

The Freedom System is a border wide video monitoring system created to detect smugglers and terrorists crossing our border. The system consists of armored poles mounted on private property along the border - each of which contain a low light level video camera.

In July 2005, FBP applied for our 501(c)(3) tax-exempt non-profit status with the IRS and have recently gotten the approval letter from the IRS.

What's next? Call FHB's action "vigilante," too?

No guns. No clubs. No physical presence to "intimidate" U.S. trespassers. Just these remote video cameras mounted on armored poles acting as our unemotional sentinel soldiers standing guard to help protect America's security.

Maybe we ought to start setting up a fund drive to help buy night vision cameras, too? I wonder how much those things cost? Certainly many, many times cheaper than DHS RVS camera. I suppose President Bush has already consider these things? I doubt it.

UPDATE: How funny. The very first blog reader came out of Mexico. Maybe this news will serve as a warning on just how serious these U.S. citizen volunteers are on protecting America.
