Tragedy Blamed Wrongly

 

Tragedy Used For Ideological Gain

It is unfortunate the tragedy that occurred at Virginia Tech Monday was picked up by the gun control lobby as a new "war cry".
The killing of 32 people by one crazed madman is a tragic thing, but the quick knee jerk response of the left is abominable. The cry for stricter gun control and confiscation of guns will produce angst and dissension thoughout the land. But it won't stop murders caused by people who are determined to kill. In fact one well armed teacher might have save many lives monday in Virginia.
The multitude of laws and law enforcement personnel has not stopped the use of illegal drugs. It has increased and drive up the price for the product.
What this country needs if we are to avoid anarchy and totalitarian rules is a return to a national respect for life and religion. Not more laws!
The total loss of respect for human life as evidenced in laws passed and SCOTUS rulings allowing mercy killing and unfettered abortion, has led the country onto a path of destruction from within.
Unfettered exploitation of sexual activity and a movie and television industry that glorifies violence and sex has made Sodom and Gomorrah look rather benign.
The young South Korean who lived here since he was eight years old, grew up with the culture of depravity all around him. It is a wonder more teens don't go onto killing rampages after spending their formative years watching violence on TV and in movies. Video games glorifying and rewarding killing are a big part of the pre-teen and teen years entertainment.
The left has done everything it can do to remove religion from the lives of children growing up today, and the result of all the above is the violence we were horrified by on Monday. Our Country needs to return to a "virtuous society"if we want to eliminate such carnage by our youth.

Perhaps Inside The Gate?

 

The Enemy At The Gates

Not only is the mortal enemy at Our gates. They are well placed among us.
The document that is the framework of this great nation is being used to advance a threat to our way of life right under our noses with little or none mention in the MSM.
Immediately after 9/11 the threat of Muslim terrorism was on every ones minds. We even began targeting Arab looking men at check points in airports. But then the Muslim advocacy groups went to work. CAIR the organization bankrolled by Saudi Arabia, and The National Council of Arabs went on the offensive, and it became not"PC" to target all Muslims.
WE were bombarded with newspaper and TV features that told us we must distinguish between the Terrorist and the Muslim religion. It was soon considered Islamophobic to even suggest that the Muslim religion is a fanatical cult that is dedicated to the replacement of our Constitution with Sharia laws.
Some States have allowed their elementary schools to have Muslim days when the children all must dress up in Muslim garb, and observe Muslim culture for a day. In California. One school even raised a banner that read "Allah is the one and only God"!

TV shows like "24" started calling the terrorists Chinese or Chechen radicals, apparently after they were visited by CAIR leaders. The move was on to separate the "moderate" Muslim from the Terrorist Muslim. The Democrats in Congress even want to ban the words "World wide terrorism."
The problem is from the mouths of Muslims who are accepted leaders in the U.S. we hear a different story. The following is a quote from "Islam Watch". Read it and then ask yourself if there are two kinds of Muslims, and if not what shall we do?

According to Dr. Daniel Pipes, Omar Ahmad, the long-serving chairman of CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, reportedly told a crowd of California Muslims in July 1998, “Islam is not in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran ... should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth.”
So, what happened to the famous “moderate Muslims” in all this? That’s a question writer Robert Spencer asks, too. Imam Siraj Wahaj is in great demand as a speaker. In 1991, he even became the first Muslim to give an invocation to the U.S. Congress.However, he has also warned that the United States will fall unless it “accepts the Islamic agenda.” He has lamented that “if only Muslims were clever politically, they could take over the United States and replace its constitutional government with a caliphate.” In the early 1990s he sponsored talks by Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman in mosques in New York City and New Jersey; Rahman was later convicted for conspiring to blow up the World Trade Center in 1993, and Wahaj was designated a “potential unindicted co-conspirator.”Mr. Spencer notes that “The fact that someone who would like to see the [US] Constitution replaced has led a prayer for those sworn to uphold it is just a symptom a larger, ongoing problem: the government and media are avid to find moderate Muslims -- and as their desperation has increased, their standards have lowered.” The situation is complicated by many factors, including, taqiyya and kitman: “These are Islamic doctrines of religious deception. They originated in Shi’ite Islamic defenses against Sunni Islam, but have their roots in the Qur’an (3:28 and 16:106). Many radical Muslims today work hard to deceive unbelievers, in line with Muhammad’s statement, “War is deceit.”

Echos From The Past

 

If We would Only Learn From History

Unfortunately most people who have attended public schools during the past 30 years have learned very little about Western History. They have not been exposed to the great leaders who led the free world though the greatest tragedy of modern times, WWII.
One such man whom too many people know very little about except that he drank a lot of brandy and smoked cigars was Winston Churchill.
What people should know is relevant to the war we are involved in with radical Islam, and Churchill sounded the clarion alarm bells many years ago. The following is a quote from a politician who actually fought against the followers of Mohammad.



"Indeed it is evident that Christianity, however degraded and distorted by cruelty and intolerance, must always exert a modifying influence on men's passions, and protect them from the more violent forms of fanatical fever, as we are protected from smallpox by vaccination. But the Mahommedan religion increases, instead of lessening, the fury of intolerance. It was originally propagated by the sword, and ever since, its votaries have been subject, above the people of all other creeds, to this form of madness."
After 9/11, George W. Bush famously described Islam as a "religion of peace". Churchill entertained no such fancy notions. In his history of the Malakand Field Force, Churchill wrote that "civilisation is confronted with militant Mahommedanism. The forces of progress clash with those of reaction. The religion of blood and war is face to face with that of peace. Luckily the religion of peace is usually the better armed."
By the time his first book was published, Churchill had taken part in active service, fighting in Bangalore. He joined Lord Kitchener's army in the Sudan, and took part in the Battle of
Omdurman on September 2, 1898. This battle took place in what is now a suburb of Khartoum, and pitted British troops against 50,000 belonging to a local warlord, Abdullah al-Taashi. This man called himself the Khalifa or "Caliph", and was the successor of Muhammad Ahmad. Ahmad had been the self-styled "Mahdi" (Muslim Messiah) who had beheaded General Gordon at Khartoum in 1885. The war in Sudan was a religious war.
He also said Muslimism is:"A militant and proselytising faith,and fanaticism is not a cause of war, but the means which helps savage people fight, and no stronger retrograde force exists in the world today."
Propagandists for groups like CAIR and our own President would have us believe that the terrorists are a small fanatic fringe of the Muslim faith.
But as Sir Winston Churchill knew over 60 years ago. All of Islam is to be feared if they do not publicly denounce the atrocities perpetrated upon people around the world by Islams radicals.
Unfortunately in the world of semantic jingoism words like "Islamaphobic" is used to label anyone who speaks out about the threat to the Judeo-Christian world by Islam.
The Democratic controlled Congress and the MSM should take note of another quote from Sr. Winston: "Victory will never be found by taking the line of least resistance." Withdrawal from Iraq will be taking the line of least resistance, and embolden those who have sworn to destroy us.

Global Warming Scam

 

The Global Warming Scam

The man pictured to the left is James Hansen, director of NASA Goddard Institute in New York.
He spoke this past week to the media in London, England of the impending catastrophe of global warming. His background is similar to other non-scientist advocates of the "anthropogenic climate change" religion that has swept the developed nations lately. Hansen is an educated physicist and astronomer,not a climatologist. Not un- like Al Gore, with no scientific training, has taken on the mantle of the new left. The ecology movement, and it's Marxist goals to bring down the capitalistic system. Not that they are Marxists. But their "quest" is running hand in hand with those who are!
The whole movement began in the 1970's, when the coal miners struck in England during Margaret Thatchers term as prime Minister of England. Like so many other leaders of the free world she was worried about Her Country's dependence on oil and coal.
To alleviate this problem she went to the scientific community with a great deal of money and told them to find that fossil fuels producing co2 was the cause of raising temperatures. Her intent was to promote clean nuclear power supplies. Like many good ideas it ran away with itself!
Most of those who have taken up the cause of "global warming", including Presidents and Prime Ministers, have bought into the idea that the environmental movement is too strong a force to fight.
Indeed the environmental industry in the U.S. has grown from a government (aka taxpayer) investment of 170 million dollars in the early 1980's to a present 2 billion dollar taxpayers expense. There are hundreds of thousands of government and higher education people making their living off this movement. Mr. Gore even has his hands in the profit making end of environmentalism. But those that want to destroy our way of life are not all Islamists.
The founder of Green Peace, Patrick Moore, was recently quoted as saying: " Peaceniks" and Marxists have moved into the ecology movement with their anti-capitalist motives."
The National Resources Defense Council and Council on Foreign Relations are the other strong forces behind the push to make the lie of co2 and global warming a truth.
Most if not all the predictions used to support the claim for the connection between co2 and global warming come from computer models. These models are all subject to the well known acronym "GIGO". Garbage in and Garbage out! This is so, because none of the data used for their predictions, takes into account the Suns energy busts. A subject I touched on in previous blog.
Real scientists and climatologists, like Dr. Pirus Corbyn, claim that the "sun Bursts" sometimes called sun spots have more effect on global warming than co2.
All computer models used by the "gloom and doom" global warming advocates use co2 as the basis for the warming. This fact has been stated by Dr. Roy Spencer of NASA.
MIT professor R. Lindgen states that: "the green house propaganda was begun in 1988, when the IPPC predicted disaster due to global warming. This was done with no evidence to prove or support the theory that co2 causes global warming."
In fact the studies of ice core samples taken in the Arctic by Scientists from MIT and Harvard show that co2 does not cause temperature rises, but the temperature rises produce an increase in co2 over time.
Another large producer and sink of co2 are the worlds oceans. They absorb co2 when the ocean is cold and produce co2 when the ocean becomes warm.
Even the scientists who put together the Kyoto Agreement stated that if we reduce emissions of co2 drastically by 60-80 percent, as they recommended, it will only reduce global temperatures by .005 to .01 degrees by 2050!
But if we do fall into the trap of global warming and reduce co2 by the demanded amount. This Country will revert back to the bicycle days of the 1990s.
Professors of science have long been telling those who will listen that co2 is naturally produced by decaying vegetation and animal matter. Cows are a large producer of methane gas. Should we kill all the cows?
The polar bears have survived the dramatic climate changes of recorded history and they will adapt as will we to any natural change in temperature. Whats the real worry? Most of us and are relatives for the next generation won't live to see any change. Even if the "quacks" are correct. This heretic believes they are wrong and know they are!

Do Democrats Desire a Loss?

 

Wars Are Lost When Logistics Fail

The famous battle of the Bulge during World War II was nearly lost because our troops were running out of ammunition, food and medical supplies,
The Germans had launched a last desperate attack in Belgium with the full force of Panzer Tanks and thousands of troops. This offensive was to try to keep the Allies from invading Germany.
Because of overcast skies and the German troops surrounding the Americans on three sides. Our soldiers were trapped and facing possible annihilation.
Thank God, clearing skies and the race across Europe by Patton's tanks.prevented Our defeat. The battle of the Bulge was eventually won. But at a great cost of lives due to the lack of supplies.
Since wars began, the one thing that has to be maintained is the supply line if an army has any hope of winning.
Europe and all Of Asia would also have been lost, no matter how valiantly our troops fought, if their supply lines were cut off.
Today we have the Congress of the United States threatening to cut off the supplies to our men and women in Iraq!
Even though President Bush will veto this Bill as presently constituted. The Congress seems determined to inflict defeat on the U.S. even if it means they have to literally take the weapons out of the troops hands.
Not only did they pass legislation that is a betrayal of our brave volunteers in harms way. They are giving aid and comfort to the enemy by visiting them in their own"lairs".
Congressional Speaker of the House Ms. Pelosi made history by being the only Speaker to visit a leader of a country during war who is known to be an accomplice of those we fight. Her visit to Syria was infamous!
Last week Congressman and Democratic majority leader, Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) , took it upon himself to pay a visit with a known Hamas supporter.
Hoyer met with Mohammad el-Katatni in Cairo, Egypt. After the meeting el-Katatni said: "they reached agreements that would be helpful when the Democrats win in 2008!
Instead of helping to win this war against Islamists. The democrats seem to be trying to help us loose. Look at their actions and You be the Judge!

Never Ending Falsehoods

 

Media Learned From Advertisers

The Main Stream Media, including both radio and television, has been bombarding their airways with fabrications designed by slick Madison Avenue advertising firms for years. The claims the adds make are not always true or even close to the truth.
But as Joseph Stalin and Adolph Hitler learned. If you tell a lie often enough most people will believe it.
The Media news, that in my boyhood days would report the news, has adopted an advocacy presentation with the stories they send out to the unsuspecting public.
Unfortunately most of the media outlets are left wing advocates, dedicated to brain washing the American people into believing we are bad and our history is filled with atrocities for which we should fell guilty. Never mind getting the truth. Tell the story fast and repeat it until the "ignorant" masses believe it.
Two recent examples are the Duke Lacrosse team "rape case", and today's bombing of the Iraqi parliament building.
In the Duke case all the MSM outlets had tried and convicted the 3 "not guilty" young men before an indictment was handed down. They dug up every white hating black racist to have his say to the U.S. ,and never did anyone suggest these boys were innocent. Well, they are!
The bombing of the Iraqi parliament building is another example of advocacy journalism. The MSM wants the U.S. to loose this one as they did in the Vietnam War.
So when they news hit the wires the first thing broadcast was that a woman suicide bomber blew herself up inside the building. The next thing uttered was that this is a demonstration of the U.S. military lack of ability to secure the "Green Zone".
They never bothered to tell you that the bombing may have been caused by a bomb planted inside the cafeteria before today. Nor did they tell you that because of the threat of such action there were bomb sniffing dogs at the entrance to the building this morning before the blast occurred.
The latest news, still not reported by MSM, is that the bomb was set by a security guard of one of the members of the parliament.
As for the "Green Zone" being safe and secure. There are 15,000 people who live within this zone. They pass in and out off the zone daily. Anyone at anytime if they are sympathetic to the terrorist cause can bring explosive back into the zone.
But never mind the facts. Tell the story so it makes the U.S. and it's President look bad. Wake Up America!!

Making Sense of Reckless Media

 

Time to Ignore The "Fifth Column"






Today's Internet papers have two interesting and disturbing articles from Great Britain and The Middle East.
The first is the article in the net version of The London Times that reports on the front page that,"the United States is the greatest threat to world peace."
This startling conclusion comes from the left wing peace group "The Oxford Research Group", and is what you would expect from a group that believes all conflicts can be resolved with "closed door discussions between two equals."
The article in the Times was written by, Gabrielle Rifkind, a consultant to the Group for the "Human Security Forum". She also is a contributing editor to "The Peace Research Center." She would make a good speech writer for Pelosi.
The Oxford group has as the first of it's five principles that govern their activities. "The pursuit of non-military options to the resolution of conflicts (aka. war). Neither the Association of Ms. Rifkind or the principles of the two organizations she belongs to are mentioned in the Times article. It appears as an unbiased report.
Ms. Rifkind is the author of a treatise about the resolution of conflict in the Middle East between Hezbollah and Israel. Her conclusions are quoted below. Note the conclusion doesn't solve the problem. It just delays it for "future Generations"!
At the same time she advocates the resolution of the conflict between the U.S. and Iran over their nuclear enrichment program be resolved the same way. "Sitting down behind closed doors for a dialog of equals". These people must be from another planet!
The second article comes from Iraq where U.S. military generals have determined that the "EFP" explosive devices killing and maiming so many Iraqis and Americans are not only being made in Iran. The people embedding and setting the fuses for these terrorist weapons are being trained in Iran!
The following is an excerpt from a lengthy diatribe by Ms. Rifkind:
"Anti-Semitic elements are likely to be replaced by a more purely nationalist agenda. A new charter is unlikely to completely surrender the dream of a Greater Palestine; but it may place that dream on a more distant footing, and enshrine the possibility of coexistence based on 1967 armistice lines.
Hamas is now calling for a long-term reciprocal armistice, potentially for a period of 30 or more years. This initiative deserves serious consideration and examination by the international community, as it could lead to future negotiations and create space to find an accommodation based on coexistence.
As in Northern Ireland, rather than demanding that they be abandoned, it could allow for the aspirations and hopes of both sides to be separated from the practical realities, thus enabling certain thorny questions to be left to the next, less traumatized generation.
With the leftist politicians and academics advocating continued failed diplomacy. I believe it is past time to use our military might to whatever extent it takes to stop Countries like Iran from supplying instruments of death to Iraq and Hezbollah.
The only way we won the war against Germany and Japan was to bomb them to complete destruction and loss of the peoples will to fight. We will never win in the Middle East or anywhere else with limited rules of engagement.
President Bush has less than two years to ignore the peaceniks and take the gloves off!

A Few Facts About Iran

 

Time To Cut the Blabber and Read Facts

The London Times Union online edition has an article alerting it's readers to the possibility that the aggressive speech of Iran's Ahmadinjad concerning his determination to proceed with nuclear enrichment might embolden the Washington "Hawks". A name used by leftists to describe Americans who would rather attack than wait to be attacked again.
Roget's Thesaurus uses the top of it's definitions list to describe a hawk as: "war monger, war dog, a person who urges war".
It lists further down that it can mean one who: "proclaims or publicizes." This is another illustration of "PC" speak taking over our lives. I personally think of "JAXHAWK"(my handle for JaxConservative Blog) as one who publicizes facts and ideas. I do believe as all patriots do. That a Country should go to war to defend our way of life ,or after it has been attacked by hateful people, as we were on 9/11/01.
The real purpose of this blog is not to make an argument with semantics, but to explain what I believe are pertinent facts.
Despite the fact that Iran has the second largest oil and gas reserves in the world. More than enough to fuel it's energy needs for 75 million citizens. Iran seems to be determined to produce enriched nuclear energy for which it has no peaceful needs.
Iran has the largest single source of Uranium in the Middle East, and is not dependant upon imports of raw uranium. This year they have processes 37 tons of "yellow cake" uranium, and have stated plans to mine 40 tons of uranium ore every year.
 Each 30 tons can produce 220 pounds of enriched uranium! This amount used properly, can make 4-5 nuclear bombs depending upon the destructive yield desired.
Now call all of us hawks who would hate and fear for our saftey, if the "little megalomaniac" in Tehran gets his hands on multiple atomic bombs. Those who rather ignore the possibility belong in the Zoo with the Ostrich.

The Power Happy Iranian Speaks

 Today the little dictator in Iran gave a speech in which he warned that if any western country tied to interfere with his nuclear program, iran would react violently.
This appears to be a man bouyant and sanguine by the way he got away with the abduction and captivity of the British 15 royal marines and sailors. He even got an apology and promise from the British government that they would never enter Irans waters without their permission.
This from the once mighty and invincible country that has lost the will to fight.
Let there be no mistake. the Islam-fascists of the Muslim world is a force dedicated, with religious fervor, to the destruction of Israel, the United States and the rest of the western civilization or perish.
They are not to be bargained with. The diplomats be damned, as their efforts have repeatedly failed us.!
These Terrorist Muslim people are humiliated by the prosperity and freedom of western civilization and want to eradicate it.
For those that say "but it is taking too long to accomplish our goals in iraq". I must say, look to the principle of Hofstaders law: this says that,"it always takes longer than you expect. therefore , it is not difficult to estimate a project---it is infinity difficult". and Murphys law is a good reminder. "anything that can go wrong, will go wrong".
This is applicable when fighting those who will die before giving up!
Neither statement says it is better to give up and capitulate than fight for what is right!
I hope our American leaders make better decisions than the British did.

The "15" Are No Heros!

 

Won't Fight But tell Stories Well





The News from Great Britain that the 15 sailors and Royal Marines who surrender rather than attempt to defend their mission is very upsetting and revealing.
These 15 are an absolute perfect example of what happens to a "Mommy Generation" of people wearing the "jaunty" uniforms of too many Countries today. Not only did these "15" surrender but they allowed themselves to be paraded on Iranian television giving thanks for their release by the henchman of the Ayatollah, clutching "goody bags like children on an Easter egg hunt not angry captives who were abducted on the high seas illegally.
Now these "cowards" are selling their stories to the print and video networks for as much as 150,000 pounds as if they were heroes.
Regretfully, a soldier who looses an arm or leg in Iraq will only receive 57,000 lbs. from the compensation fund of the British Department of Defense.
The shameful part of this whole disgrace is the Ministry of Defense and Royal Navy have publicly agreed to allow these military "vanquised 15" to sell their stories. Their explanation is ridiculous in the use of the comparison to the unusual circumstances that they said were similar to those who are awarded the Victoria Cross for Valor. Excuse me! I don't see any comparison with a hero and a group that surrenders without firing a shot.The Heros are those that gave their lives for freedom not those that have surrendered.

Please pray for our Patriot Armed Forces standing in harm’s way around the world, and for their families, especially those of our fallen Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen, who have died in defense of American liberty while prosecuting the war with Jihadists.
And pray that we can defeat the enemy without counting on people who wear the uniform but, talk the talk, but can't walk the walk!

Words Have Meaning!

 

Political Correctness Strikes Again!

A search of today's news sources on the Internet including those from the USA, Britain and Germany failed to find any reference to the use of the word "torture"in story about the British 15 hostages.
The papers all over the world have headlines quoting Amnesty International and other U.S. hating ilk calling the conditions at Guantanamo "cruel conditions". The word torture is used frequently. But in all the stories about the 15 Britts confinement there is not one instance where the word "torture" was used.
This is despite the fact that in the post release interviews the hostages related the fact that for 13 days they had been kept in isolation, blindfolded , handcuffed, slept on the floor, and interrogated all night on many occasions.
The only time they were together, they were lined up against a wall blindfolded and subject to the sounds of cocking weapons. This caused some to fear they were about to be executed. They were threatened with seven year jail terms if they did not confess
The First Sea Lord admiral Johnathon Band in typical British understatement, was quoted in the "Times online": "it appeared the confessions made to the Iranians( that they were in Iran's sea space) have been made under a certain amount of psychological pressure".
Being handcuffed, blindfolded and kept in solitary confinement alone qualifies as mental torture. But the "PC" press has left that word out of all coverage.
Roget's Thesaurus refers to torture as repeated afflicting of suffering or annoyance. I think their treatment qualifies unless only Americans are allowed to be called torturers.
In an act of total arrogance the Iranian Ambassador in London referred to the hostage release as, "a show of good will, and now it is up to the British government to proceed in a positive way. We will welcome in general any steps that will defuse tensions in the region".
This representative of the midget megalomaniac in Tehran never considered for a second that the taking of the "15" WAS AN ACT OF WAR, and everything would "calm down" if Iran stopped the pursuit of nuclear weapons.

But this is not a remote possibility. What happens next?

My Opinion:Britts Capitulated

 
Capitulation by the British to Iran is the real explanation of the whole hostage taking fiasco.Iran showed the world and themselves that Iran stands arrogantly strong and fearless against a liberal controlled country that has weakened its military greatly over the past 40+ years, and has about bankrupted itself with other out of left field failed domestic policies such as welfare,socialized medicine,etc.
The United States negotiated sleazy deals for release of  some murderous terrorists to get the British hostages freed.Our crazed, left wing, death wish psychos are leading us in the same direction as Britain with their show of cowardice through appeasement and grandiose plans to throw taxpayers money away from a strong military to the same wasteful utopian dreams of a country run by the State..The main stream news media, with the same cowardice, has played the song of heroic diplomacy in this matter, which is so far off the page of reality thinking it should be place in a chapter of "Alice In Wonderland".We will never learn that you don't handle a fanged viper,but defang him first.Sadly, our liberals, apparently can't comprehend this simple fact of information which is necessary to continue living on this earth.Yes,all the anti-Bushies out there will keep handling the fanged vipers and they will eventually get the fatal bite they apparently are craving.

Have We allowed Free Trade to Weaken US?

 

Re-Thinking Free Trade and NAFTA

In 1994 the NAFTA agreement involving the U.S.A. Canada and Mexico was signed to the extreme displeasure of Unions and Presidential hopeful Ross Perot.
Since the agreement many automobile manufacturing jobs have been lost to Mexican cheap labor. The same thing has happened to the manufacturing of clothing and head wear, but these jobs have not been lost to Mexico.
With President Nixon's re-opening trade with China in the 1970's the steady flow of jobs manufacturing textiles and head wear has been to the sweatshops of China and third world countries.
You cannot go into a department store or sports shop without finding the majority of the caps, shirts and shoes are made in Vietnam, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Nicaragua or the Philippines.
Most of the labor is done in "sweat shop" conditions by children as young as 5 years old. These children make an average of five dollars a day for 10-12 hours work with no benefits, in cramped non-climate controlled conditions.
In Indonesia 12 year old children work 70 hours a week making shoes to be sold by American companies in the U.S.
The Nike "Air Max" shoes that sell for $140.00 and the sports shirt with the famous Nike "swirl" selling for $39.00 are both made in Pakistan.
Half the worlds soccer balls are made in Pakistan by children as young as five years old working for $5.00 a day!
In the GAP stores you can find pricey clothing that was made in Saipan by Chinese women working for a monthly salary of $60.00. The same amount of profit the Gap makes on average for every shirt sold.
The once mighty steel industry has declined to the point where exports of U.S. steel have declined from 79 million tons in 1989 to 52 million tons in 2001. At the same time our imports of steel from Taiwan has increased by 133%.
This shift from an exporting surplus to an import consumer is estimated to have cost over 500 million dollars in National income, and cost the consumer of products made of steel from 1.9 billion dollars to 4 billion dollars a year.
Much of the blame must be laid at the feet of the Unions whose contract demands exceeded that which the steel companies could absorb and still be profitable.
Not all the blame is at the unions feet. The "free Trade" policies of our government have made many countries wealthy that were previously considered "third" world countries. China is a perfect example. They now produce 418 million tons of steel even though they have scarce iron and steel resources.
Millions of skilled laborers who were part of the United States military industrial complex have lost their jobs to foreign countries. This happening is much to the delight of the leftists who hate the military and await the time when labor unrest will allow them to begin the American equivalent of the 1917 Russian revolution.
My concern is the lack of the ability to produce adequate tanks, ships, and guns in the event that we find ourselves in a full scale war in the future.
Lest you forget even the uniforms worn by many servicemen are made in foreign countries. Have we made ourselves weaker by allowing unfettered Free Trade?

Irans perfidy Up Close

 

Lets Not Extol The "15" British Release

Before we accept the inevitable liberal claptrap the Media will spoon feed the American public about the magnanimous gesture of the Ahmadinijad release of the 15 abducted "Britt's". Let us consider what actually took place before these illegally captured sailors and royal marines were "pardoned". For their capture the Commander of Irans Coast Guard was given a medal. Shown in the picture to the left.
In the first place how can you pardon people who have been illegally abducted?
It also is interesting to note that the day these military personnel were released
. The U.S. released an Iranian diplomat in Baghdad. This man was captured in February, 2007.
The U.S. announced that it is making plans to allow Iranian "diplomats" to visit the five Iranian Revolutionary Guards captured a few weeks ago near the Iraq town of Irbil.
Prior to the release of the British military personnel the British sent a message to the Iranian Foreign Minister that "it will not happen again". Meaning the British have realized that Iran has demonstrated that they can't be trifled with. They have the capacity to take action and that will undoubtedly make the British more careful that they don't "invade Iranian waters again.
This lack of action appears on the surface to be a diplomatic victory for Iran. What it really does is show how weak the British Empire has become. It also gives more courage and resolve to the Muslim Extremists to continue their terrorists activities of kidnapping and bombing all "infidels" until the whole world accepts "that there is no God but Allah".
The minute The released personnel landed in England the Prime Minister condemned the killing of four British soldiers who were victims of an IED. In his statement on the steps of Blair House he said: "Iran is guilty of backing, financing and arming Iraqi terrorists".
We have not seen the end of this type of terrorism and unless we eradicate the Islamist radicals they will be blowing up Main Street USA before long. Appeasement and "playing nice" will not deter the Terrorists!

Royal Marines Are Payback

 

Iran Laid In Wait For "Brits"

Anyone that thinks the Iranians capture of the 15 British sailors and royal marines was anything but a planned abduction is living in a world of denial.
This unprovoked seizure of these 14 men and one woman in two rigid rubber boats was a long planned for attack.
On January 11th, 2007 five Iranian "diplomats were apprehended near Najaf, Iraq by U.S. Forces. These men have been identified as members of the Iranian secret organisation "QUDS".
This group of Revolutionary Guards are the elite training and supply source for the Mahdi Army, Hezbolla, Badar Organisation and Hamas. They also are responsible for their own terrorism. An example is the bombing of Kobar Towers in Saudi Arabia.
They are also responsible for supplying the Shia terrorists in Iraq with the armour piercing IED's used to blow up Humvees with military personnel aboard.
These terrorist leaders report directly to the Ayatollah Ali Khomeini, and were assisted in their development by the current President of Iran, Ahmadinjad, while he was serving in the Revolutionary Guard.
They are located throughout the world and are believed to have covert operations here in America.
Their headquarters in Iraq is located in Najaf, but their headquarters in Iran are in the abandoned American Embassy building in Tehran.
The word "QUDS" is Arabic for Jerusalem.
U.S. General John Abizaid, before he was relieved, claimed that the Quds in Iraq, were training and providing weapons to Shia death Squads.
These are the terrorists who killed four American soldiers they captured near Karbala when they ambushed the Americans driving black SUV's and wearing American army uniforms on 1/20/07. A clear violation of the Geneva Convention the leftists in this Country claim they are entitled to.
The Iranians were lying in wait for the opportunity to capture any troops that were a supporting force to the U.S. effort in Iraq, as a retaliation for the capture of the Quds.
They want them back before they are forced to give up valuable information about their activities here in The U.S.
But don't tell the Democrats that the continuing war in Iraq is helping save lives here at home. It will fall on dead ears and closed minds!
