LEAVWORLD: GRAFFITI POLITTI

Let me preface this post with this image from the Peace Moonbeam Chronicles . Howdy Doody lives! NOW, TO THE POST: Hat tip to Rush Limbaugh, for the take on Kennedy that inspired this post. Sen. Ted Kennedy wants to make illegal immigrants the subject of the Dems' next "civil rights" crusade. I say let him, if he can so easily dismiss the concern of so many millions of Americans who were repulsed by the recent protests, including most Black "African-Americans." (as opposed to some white African-Americans, like Tereza Heinz) Ms. Malkin has great a post about the protests . I should give the protesters credit for also waving US flags, though fewer than Mexican flags, but I can't. A guest on O'reilly compared it to the St. Patrick's day parade. The ugly part wasn't shown widely, to say the least. This is Kennedy playing the same note that both Hillary and Chuck (Schumer- the other NY Senator) played a few weeks ago, when they both appeared in front ...

CROSSPOSTED FROM STOP THE ACLU : I researched the Congressional Record dated Wednesday, September 20, 1961. Very important information relating to the ACLU and it's Communist/Socialist ambitions. Dr. Fredrick Schwartz, executive director of the International Christian Anticommunism Crusade, "Communist Legal Subversion," page 75, House Committee on Un-American Activities: "Any attempt to judge the influence of Communists by their numbers is like trying to determine the validity of the hull of a boat by relating the area of the holes to the area which is sound. One hole can sink a ship. Communism is the theory of the disciplined of few controlling and directing the rest. One person in a sensitive position can control and manipulate thousands of others." FBI Director, J. Edger Hoover called Communists, "Masters of Deceit". He continues, "Fronts probably represent the party's (communist) most successful tactic in capturing non-Communist support. L...

I feel it only proper to give props to Dr, Sanity's Carnival of the Insanities , which linked to LEAVWORLD in the third link of the 21st item of their most recent "carnival" post. Mostly as a tribute, but also because I'm lazy, I am pasting their whole post in an INSANE way, but please still click on all of the links. The ones I have read already all are great, or funny, or both. 1. Antiwar, but Pro-Mercedes ! Suggesting that we should make cars, not war perhaps?2. A case of identification with the aggressor ? Meanwhile real women are escaping the wreckage; while Yale rewards the wreckers . (hat tip: JAJ)3. Property of the state . Soon it will be just numbers.4. Racism may take many shapes, but appeasement requires only two letters: UN. 5. Perhaps they aren't "whiny" but they are jobless ...6. How do you say "shocked!" in French? More shocking news .7. An outbreak of discretion in the MSM? Or just trying to hide some uncomfortable facts? Thing...

From The American Thinker : J. R. Dunn’s three part series on Jihadi strategic alternatives is must reading. Part 1 , Part 2 and Part 3 provide an unequalled briefing on the future of our Long War with Jihadi terrorists. I've just finished part one, and decided to post all three links here. As with everything I've read there, it's a well thought analysis of a given situation.

It's been too long since I blogged about Social Security reform, probably because of the frustration I felt after the Blogger Alliance for Social Security Reform gave up the fight. It was pretty much a dead issue, or so I thought. That's probably why I didn't notice any mention about this amendment that would accomplish the basic elements of good reform until it had been voted down. Though frustrated again, I did find some good reporting about this amendment after it's defeat. The amendment was sponsored by Sen. DeMint (R-SC), with Sens. Crapo (R-ID) and Sununu (R-NH) co-sponsoring. It's official Statement of Purpose: To establish a reserve fund for Social Security reform. According to Sen. DeMint's press release , "the... Amendment to Stop the Raid on Social Security would allow the Senate to pass legislation with the following requirements: Social Security surpluses must be used to help pay for future benefits; That it make no changes to the benefits o...

Today the American Civil Liberties Union issued a press release which is featured on their website's " Newsroom " page that is titled, " ACLU Hails Rhode Island Department of Education Efforts to Stop the Use of Harmful "Abstinence-Only-Until-Marriage" Curriculum in Public Schools ". Only the ACLU and a liberal state like Rhode Island could find abstaining from sexual activity harmful. The fact is that abstinence is the only form of birth control and STD prevention that works 100% that it is employed. By practicing the ultimate in safe sex, NO SEX, no children are unnecessarily slaughtered in the name of choice, no drugs are being used in order to prevent pregnancy for the sake of promiscuity, and no one will need to be treated for sexually transmitted diseases. So what is the ACLU's difficulty with teaching this effective form of birth control? Homosexuals in this nation cannot be married in any other state than Massachusetts. And no other state ...

This one deserves to be more widely publicized: MOM TURNS IN SUBWAY "MUGGER." --NY POST print edition (it might be online, but they have registration, so a link would be lame here, anyway.) A teen gunman who carried out a string of brutal Bronx subway-station robberies was busted yesterday - after his mom turned him in, law-enforcement sources said. The mother acted a day after cops released a photo of Brian Ballard, 18, saying he was suspected of five robberies at three stations in the Melrose section in the last two months. Ballard was arrested at his mother's house on Evergreen Ave. in the Soundview section, the sources said. The teen, who has prior arrests for criminal trespassing, possession of marijuana and robbery, punched and mugged riders inside the stations, police said. -- Erika Martinez. Moral: In this home, mother knows best.

Amy Ridenour's National Center blog takes on the New Republic over "universal health care" here , with a follow-up post regarding the uninsured here . I've not written often about health care, mostly because it's such a complex topic. Luckily, Ms. Ridenour has some enlightening links that support my thoughts on this issue, particularly this one (PDF file). She describes it as "a brisk survey of the history and results of socialized medicine worldwide by Canadian economist Pierre Lemieux." There are some good facts in this report; things that are worth reading. Check it out. Socialized medecine, or a "one-payer system," is not the way to go. Eventually, everyone pays in some way.

AUTUM ASHANTE LAMB AND LYNX GAEDE I hate to have to write this, but it has to be written. Beautiful children's minds are being corrupted with racial hatred, and their parents are profiting from it. The Gaede twins have a pop band, and Miss Ashante is a poetic prodigy. The parents promote their children's careers. These young girls are the true victims of racism, because they are predestined to continue this cycle of hate. Autum Ashante (-or is it spelled Autumn Ashante ?) is a 7-year old child, home-schooled by her parents (according to the NY POST -free registration required- see below for more on this). I heard it reported on MSNBC that they are members of the Nation of Islam, but I can't confirm that elsewhere. This young lady gave a recital of her poem, "White Nationalism Put U in Bondage." Some excerpts: "Black lands taken from your hands, by vampires with no remorse."..."They took the gold, the wisdom and all the storytellers. They took th...

IRAQ: The Avengers I am publishing this drawing from 04/24/03 now, in conjunction with a post from a blog called Strategy Page . I don't know if his facts are correct or not, but it made me think of this drawing. The Shia are doing the work that I have the DEATH SQUAD (an anonymous fantasy group created by myself and some nameless friends) do in this cartoon. It's also interesting that I called it IRAQ WAR: Pt. II. Did LEAVWORLD see the coming insurgency? --OF COURSE I DID! I knew that the only way to end the influence of the enemy is to kill them, as well as they did! This is all old hat to me. I wrote an email around the date of this drawing, titled "Palestinian strategy in Iraq." The question is now, who will win? My money's on the Shia and Kurds, with a diplomatic settlement in the wings, once Zarqawi and his boys have been executed. Saddam's execution will help as well. Notice that we have lost less troops in Iraq than in any other engagement of this du...

This from the AP: LAHORE, Pakistan (AP) - The death of a 4-year-old boy whose throat was slit by a low-flying kite string coated with glass has prompted authorities to forbid kite-flying in eastern Pakistan. The edict came as the city prepared for the weekend festival of Basant, which features residents celebrating spring's arrival by flying thousands of colorful kites. Some reinforce the strings with wire or ground glass for dueling other kites and betting on who wins. When strings cross in the congested sky, the winner cuts loose his opponent's kite. At least 19 people died and 200 were injured before and during Basant last year. Wow. Talk about your cultural differences. I grew up flying kites in Central Park, but we never "fought" with other kites. I certainly never heard of putting ground glass on my kite string. Perhaps they could have banned that practice, instead of banning all kites.

Apologies for the one day delay, but work demands come first. I have a question for the ACLU, and for Fox News' Andrew Napolitano Are they lumping "searches that are made to look like break-ins" with covert operations to plant bugs, or computer taps? I have a problem with the former, but not with the latter. I know the ACLU to be against any searches, but Judge Napolitano's take on the Patriot Act startles me. If he is correct in his estimation of the abuses permitted under it, then I hope the re-authorization corrected the problems he cited. I don't think that the ACLU sees the deeper reasons for following up on every lead in terrorism investigations. Do they know about every threat to every citizen of the U.S? I don't mind if the government sees my computer trail, if it helps to find a potential terrorist. There have been more than a handful of "lone wolf" terrorist actions over the last 10-20 years, including the Empire State Building shooting, th...

I've been in a little blogging slump, lately. To help keep things interesting, here are selected recent posts from Bob G. over at Sweet Spirits of Ammonia . Thanks, Bob! First Amendment Rights Attacked, ACLU Where Are You? -Isn't it a "civil liberty" to advertise as an "English-speaking American" landscaper? The Sheriff And The Cardinal -re: Illegal immigrants. One wants to apprehend them, the other wants to hide them. Looks as if the Cardinal is asking to get locked up! Sunday Funny, ACLU Holiday At Hand -I might join in this celebration! Ann Coulter And Free Speech -Features a truly chilling letter to Syracuse University's newspaper, regarding Ms. Coulter speaking there. Castro's Camelot Exposed By Czech Photos -a Czech model exposes Castro's AIDS coverup. Disturbin' The Turbans -Anti-Mullah rap music in Iran! I've Looked At Life From Both Sides Now -Photo: Jean Francois Kerrie at the Waffle House. LOL!

Via STOP THE ACLU Courier Press Rep. John Hostettler, R-Ind., called veterans who belong to the American Legion to fight again, "to defend our sacred liberties." "This battle will be fought with letters, e-mails, phone calls and personal visits," he said. The enemy? The American Civil Liberties Union. Hostettler was speaking Tuesday to 700 members of the American Legion who are in Washington for an annual convention. Tuesday afternoon, many of them went to lobby their representatives, and Hostettler's bill, the Public Expression of Religion Act, was on their list of requests. Hostettler told the crowd that Gibson County's Ten Commandments display challenge began because "a local strip club owner said he was offended. If he meant it troubled his conscience, the monument is a benefit to the community." Chuckles rippled throughout the hotel ballroom, and then applause. Ultimately, the display was held to be constitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court. Bu...

What do China and Wafah Dufour have to do with Dubai? The Chinese government has a controlling interest in a large percentage of US ports, since the 1990's. Wafah Dufour is the neice of Osama Bin Laden, trying to make a career as an entertainer in the US. China's government has a 50-year plan to eliminate the US, or surpass us in geopolitical power. They want to do this covertly, in a sophisticated way. Ms. Dufour's uncle, while currently hiding in a cave, has spearheaded the pre-eminent threat to the US and worldwide security since the end of the cold war. In the face (and threat) of his power and influence, she has taken refuge in our Hollywood culture. (Yes, the same one that I disparage here so often) Dubai's situation has similarities to both; first, it's a state-owned company, like the Chinese companiies. Second, the "family member" who's a terrorist, like poor Ms. Dufour. First, in a monarchy, family members actually get political positions ou...
