It Is A Religous War

Muslim extremist killing Christians. Apparently as long as Christians are the victims there are no major media willing to cover these brutal murders. But let the roles be reveresed and look out. But the interesting fact is, there are very very few incidents were "Christian Extremist" have brutaly murdered Muslims. Actually I can't recall any incidents. The larger question is "Why the free Pass?" Fear of retallation from these Muslims on the journalist? Maybe, but reporters have put themselves in danger before. Or it maybe, as predicted, there would be a time when to be a Christian would be dangerous and even deadly. But for Christians, we know the final outcome of this religous war.
Here is a line and a link to a single incident.

Speaking from its headquarters in Ermelo, the Netherlands, human rights group Open Doors said it learned from Christian sources that Pastor Mocsin Hasim, a former Muslim, was shot at least 19 times, while his daughter Mercilyn was five times hit....Local police have reportedly linked the attack to the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, described as an "extremist rebel group."

A Must Read For The Chicken Little Club, AKA Global Warming Crew

Back In July of 2000 Prof. S Fred Singer testified before the senate committee on Commerece,Science and Transportation. No matter how one feels about the subject it is a must read. Oh, and here are a few of his credentials....Singer holds a degree in engineering from Ohio State and a Ph.D. in physics from Princeton University. He received a Special Commendation from President Eisenhower for the early design of satellites. In 1962, he was selected as first director of the U.S. Weather Satellite Service and received a Gold Medal award from the Department of Commerce for this contribution. In the late 1980s, he served as Chief Scientist of the Department of Transportation and also provided expert advice to the White House on climate issues.

My name is Fred Singer. I am Professor emeritus of Environmental Sciences at the University of Virginia and the founder and president of The Science & Environmental Policy Project (SEPP) in Fairfax, Virginia, a non-partisan, non-profit research group of independent scientists. We work without salaries and are not beholden to anyone or any organization. SEPP does not solicit support from either government or industry but relies on contributions from individuals and foundations.
We hold a skeptical view on the climate science that forms the basis of the National Assessment because we see no evidence to back its findings; climate model exercises are NOT evidence. Vice President Al Gore keeps referring to scientific skeptics as a "tiny minority outside the mainstream." This position is hard to maintain when more than 17,000 scientists have signed the Oregon Petition against the Kyoto Protocol because they see "no compelling evidence that humans are causing discernible climate change."

WMD'S Found And No Media Coverage?

Straight from the DOD. But the anti war libs and Bush's haters do not care. Here is a link and line.

QuigleyAmerican Forces Press ServiceWASHINGTON, June 29, 2006 – The 500 munitions discovered throughout Iraq since 2003 and discussed in a National Ground Intelligence Center report meet the criteria of weapons of mass destruction, the center's commander said here today.
"These are chemical weapons as defined under the Chemical Weapons Convention, and yes ... they do constitute weapons of mass destruction," Army Col. John Chu told the House Armed Services Committee.
The Chemical Weapons Convention is an arms control agreement which outlaws the production, stockpiling and use of chemical weapons. It was signed in 1993 and entered into force in 1997.

Saudi's Visa To The USA Up; Sleeping Better Now?

Ran across this article this morning and still can not believe it. What disturbs me is the "students." I am sure one reason is that these student's parents give big dollars to certain colleges. But to allow a nation who overcharges for oil, who is a hot bed of anti American teachings and where 19 of the 9-11 attackers originated from to send their youth here for an education? One can call it what they want, but it is wrong. The proper way to do this would be to set a limit on how many student visas are to be given. Research the students and their family. Then issue a visa.
Same with all visas in general. There is no reason to allow this many visas to a country or countries that harbor so many Islamic extremist. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure this out. Here is a line and a link

"In an e-mail to the Post, Amanda D. Rogers-Harper, a spokeswoman for the US State Department, confirmed that as of June 10, a total of 18,683 non-immigrant US visas had been issued to Saudi citizens since the start of the current fiscal year."...US State Department, confirmed that as of June 10, a total of 18,683 non-immigrant US visas had been issued to Saudi citizens since the start of the current fiscal year.
"We are pleased to see an increase in visa applicants at posts around the world, including Saudi Arabia," Rogers-Harper said, adding that this year's increase could be attributed to "a new student scholarship program funded by the government of Saudi Arabia, which encourages students to pursue their studies in the US."

Their Problem Should Not Be Our Problem

This is an article from Southeast Missouri State University. It seems to me that we should lock up the habitual users for longer periods of time for each meth offense. It is not the goverment's role to provide free treatment to these people. It is not an illness, it is a bad life choice! "Meth, cooks, users and dealers pass on other meth-related to costs to law-abiding taxpayers. For almost forty years, states have been required to provide legal counsel to indigents charged with a felony. Many defendants charged with meth offenses do not have adequate financial resources to hire a private attorney. As a result, hundreds if not thousands of meth-related defendants utilize the services of a public defender or a court-appointed attorney. In either instance, budgets for such representation result from tax revenue and the law-abiding public bears those costs. The costs incurred by taxpayer’s increases with imprisonment. States vary in their reported annual costs of imprisonment but estimates of $30,000 to $40,000 per year are reasonable. Again, most states budget a significant portion of tax revenues to their Department of Corrections and those not related to the meth industry bear the costs of meth use. In some cases, meth users will be mandated to undergo treatment as a condition of probation, incarceration or diversion. The highly addictive nature of the drug requires long-term treatment by professional counselors. As previously mentioned, most meth criminals are legally indigent and the costs for mandated treatment is third-partied to the general public."

The Insanity Of An Unsecure Border

The Daily Bulletin.com was first to announce that the US Border Patrol was giving information to Mexican officials of the whereabouts of The Minutemen patrols. The US Border Patrol claims they do this to reassure the Mexican government that their illegally departing brothers and sisters right's are not being violated. How about American's right to spend their tax dollar on legal citizen's needs? How about our right to be protected from a foreign invasion? How about our right not to have an isalmic terrorist cross into the country? I hope there is an investagation to see who contacts the Mexican government and exactly what info is given and to whom. The Mexican government is so corrupt that the info will fall into the hands of criminals at some point.

"According to three documents on the Mexican Secretary of Foreign Relations Web site, the U.S. Border Patrol is to notify the Mexican government as to the location of Minutemen and other civilian border patrol groups when they participate in apprehending illegal immigrants -- and if and when violence is used against border crossers."...
"A U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman confirmed the notification process, describing it as a standard procedure meant to reassure the Mexican government that migrants' rights are being observed."...
"Last year an internal memo notified all agents not to give credit to Minuteman volunteers or others who call in sightings of illegal aliens," said one agent, who spoke on the condition he not be identified. "We were told to list it as a citizen call and leave it at that. Many times, we were told not to go out to Minuteman calls."

Antonin Scalia And Capital Punishment

In May 2002 Mr. Scalia wrote a wonderful article on the morality of capital punishment. In with this article he makes the point that many death penalty opponents are those who like to pick and choose the laws they obey....
http://www.firstthings.com/ftissues/ft0205/articles/scalia.html
"The mistaken tendency to believe that a democratic government, being nothing more than the composite will of its individual citizens, has no more moral power or authority than they do as individuals has adverse effects in other areas as well. It fosters civil disobedience, for example, which proceeds on the assumption that what the individual citizen considers an unjust law—even if it does not compel him to act unjustly—need not be obeyed."
A person who does not fully understand the value of life hear on Earth, but also the larger value of one's soul will take issue with capital punishment As Scalia say's
