    The most dangerous man in the world?

    “Sixteen U.S. intelligence agencies stated unanimously in 2007 and reaffirmed in 2011 their conviction that Iran does not have an active nuclear weapons program. In the Standard piece, John Sawyer, head of the British Intelligence Service MI-6, “flatly stated in July that we have two years left before the Iranians can build a weapon.”

    And if we should fear this most dangerous man in the world, why do not the Iraqis, Turks, Azerbaijanis and Pakistanis, his neighbors, seem to fear him? The Paks, with scores of nukes, seem less nervous about Iran than democratic India, with whom they have fought several wars.

    Before now it has been Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who was the incarnation of Hitler. But Ahmadinejad’s eight years in office are up next summer, and he…”

    Hm. Since atheists sicken me, shouldn’t they be banned from public view? Fair is fair, right? OH SHIT! I forgot – communist liberals dipshits care NOTHING about “fair”. They’re thieves who care only for themselves.

    On TV, the Colorado Springs police chief begged Obama not to come as he had no resources to protect him, And didn’t need the extra burden ….but Obama came here anyway…

    Colorado Springs ..…they had to suspend flights of the fire fighting tankers because the big O came to town. No air traffic could be in his vicinity, so the fire fighting planes had to stop. The big O (zero) spent hundreds of thousands of taxpayers money to fly across the country in Air Force One to Colorado to make a campaign stop in the middle of a tremendous fire, thereby totally disrupting all the fire fighting and police efforts, and causing millions more in fire damage to forests and homes.. and people’s lives.. all just to make himself look more prominent in the news. This is what we have for a President of our country now folks.

    He sure has the best interests of Americans at heart doesn’t he! We got “change” all right!

    At least 4 people shot at a Texas Walmart

    The shooting took place very early in the morning in Cedar Park, which is just north of Austin.
    Early indications were that a group of people met in the parking lot to fight and that at least one person then opened fire, police said.
    No Walmart employees or customers were wounded, police said.

    A suspect was arrested but, as usual, they don’t give race/ethnicity (i.e. Caucasian, Hispanic, American-African, etc.).

  8. Bob Roberts says:

    Four killed in disco fire at Phuket club, French President considers surrender as primary option.

    I threw that “surrender” bit in because some of those wounded at the club (those who died were too badly burned to determine race/ethnicity/national origin) were identified as French and surrender is what the French do best, particularly when led by socialists.

    Which side of the fence?

    If you ever wondered which side of the fence you sit on, this is a great test!

    If a Republican doesn’t like guns, he doesn’t buy one.
    If a Democrat doesn’t like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.

    If a Republican is a vegetarian, he doesn’t eat meat.
    If a Democrat is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.

    If a Republican is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
    If a Democrat is homosexual, he demands activist court ordered respect.

    If a Republican is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
    A Democrat wonders who is going to take care of him.

    If a Republican doesn’t like a talk show host, he switches channels.
    Democrats demand that those they don’t like be shut down.

    If a Republican is a non-believer, he doesn’t go to church.
    A Democrat non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.

    If a Republican decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
    A Democrat demands that the rest of us pay for his.

    If a Republican reads this, he’ll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh.
    A Democrat will delete it because he’s “offended”.

    And Republicans don’t believe global warming/climate change is caused by humans – they believe it’s the normal, overwhelming natural forces that still control weather, temperature and climate, so they ignore the false issues raised on this topic.

    Democrats demand that WE ALL be forced to move into smaller homes, drive smaller, more expensive yet less suitable cars, take public transportation, reduce our carbon footprint and buy AL Gore’s carbon offsets, making him billions, as he and the other Democrats drive their SUVs, fly in their private jets, live in their palatial homes, have ever expanding carbon footprints and laugh all the way to the bank!

  12. Bob Roberts says:

    In the following case one finds the argument used to shoot down the idea that choosing this or that religion allows one to avoid the fair and full impact of this or that law.

    I believe, using the same logic, arguments that choosing a particular gender or sexual orientation somehow creates a special, protected new class along with a whole new set of civil rights related to that class are rendered/revealed as ridiculous.

    There are differences between beliefs and actions. We are free to believe whatever we choose to believe. We are constrained in our actions by law. Actions are the result of choices we make and are subject to consequences. Just as you cannot run up to and jump off a cliff without some consequence, there are consequences to choosing an “alternate lifestyle”. And it is a choice – all behaviors are the result of choices we make and one cannot logically and honestly argue, except in very specific and exceptional cases (which is why they were included in the U.S. Constitution – these specific and exceptional cases were included in the Constitution for just that reason) that choices one makes and their resulting actions cause to be created a protected class and associated civil rights.

    Of course where I’m going with this is straight to the claim that there is any rational basis to redefine marriage to include, among other potential variants, same sex couples. Any such arguments are quickly shot down in this court decision from HI.

    But some of the underlying ideas came from the following case, which unfortunately also brought us the “Wall of Separation” argument that is abused so often to do exactly the opposite of what is commanded in the First Amendment’s second clause – that being a command for government to never, ever suppress the free and open expression of religion under any circumstances.

    U.S. Supreme Court
    Reynolds v. United States, 98 U.S. 145 (1878)
    Reynolds v. United States
    98 U.S. 145

    Marriage, while from its very nature a sacred obligation, is nevertheless, in most civilized nations, a civil contract, and usually regulated by law. Upon it society may be said to be built, and out of its fruits spring social relations and social obligations and duties with which government is necessarily required to deal. In fact, according as monogamous or polygamous marriages are allowed, do we find the principles on which the government of the people, to a greater or less extent, rests.

    An exceptional colony of polygamists under an exceptional leadership may sometimes exist for a time without appearing to disturb the social condition of the people who surround it; but there cannot be a doubt that, unless restricted by some form of constitution, it is within the legitimate scope of the power of every civil government to determine whether polygamy or monogamy shall be the law of social life under its dominion.
    In our opinion, the statute immediately under consideration is within the legislative power of Congress. It is constitutional and valid as prescribing a rule of action for all those residing in the Territories, and in places over which the United States have exclusive control. This being so, the only question which remains is whether those who make polygamy a part of their religion are excepted from the operation of the statute. If they are, then those who do not make polygamy a part of their religious belief may be found guilty and punished, while those who do, must be acquitted and go free. This would be introducing a new element into criminal law. Laws are made for the government of actions, and while they cannot interfere with mere religious belief and opinions, they may with practices. Suppose one believed that human sacrifices were a necessary part of religious worship; would it be seriously contended that the civil government under which he lived could not interfere to prevent a sacrifice? Or if a wife religiously believed it was her duty to burn herself upon the funeral pile of her dead husband; would it be beyond the power of the civil government to prevent her carrying her belief into practice?
    So here, as a law of the organization of society under the exclusive dominion of the United States, it is provided that plural marriages shall not be allowed. Can a man excuse his practices to the contrary because of his religious belief?

    To permit this would be to make the professed doctrines of religious belief superior to the law of the land, and, in effect, to permit every citizen to become a law unto himself. Government could exist only in name under such circumstances.

    You’re one sick fucking individual.

    A month ago a white guy exactly as demented as you are, walked into a theater and massacred twice as many people as this black punk.

    Did you call for less whites?

    In December 2007 19 year-old white Robert Hawkins killed 9 people, and in 1999 two white teens Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold killed 12 classmates and one teacher.

    Do you call for less teenage whites?

    Two weeks ago a guy killed six Sikhs in a temple.

    In October 2006 Charles Carl Roberts killed 5 Amish girls.

    In March 2005 Jeffrey Weise killed 9.

    In March 2009 Robert Stewart killed 8.

    Also in March 2009 Michael McLendon killed 10.

    In October 1991 George Hennard killed 23.

    They were all white men.

    In April 2007 Seung-Hui Cho killed 32.

    This obviously indicates we also need less South Koreans.

  14. MuayTyson says:

    Alphamail,

    You do realize that these isolated incidents are just another week in Detroit. The individuals involved were mentally ill and outliers of their prospective groups not the average such as black criminals.

    These people being deeply disturbed choose a course of action now known as spree killing. It is basically when someone in someway snaps and decides they will kill as many people as possible usually ending in their own death.

    Black criminals being to under IQ’ed to properly be diagnosed as mentally ill kill as a way of life very much like an animal.

    Maybe you can reference Emitt Till somewhere in your response?

    I believe that you will find that there are about qas many homicides committed by Afro-Americns as Whites. Almost all, about 96%, of the Afro-American victims have Afro-American killers. An overwhelming majority of the White victim have White killers. Serial killers are overwhelmingly White and youth gang members are mainly Black or Latino. Crazies come in all sizes and colors.
    The real problem is political correctness that prevents any sane discussion of the problem and possible solutions.

    This is not a such an outrageous statement as to react exhibiting such degree of indignation and personal attacks from Alphamail against Bo-Jangles and later in a milder manner from Adam.

    The amount of White guilt from some folks from years of media and school indoctrination is astounding.

    I bet if Alphamail were to be accused of incest, theft or any other serious crime he would shrug it off and continue his life fine and dandy like a happy camper looking for racist remarks where to show is self-righteousness and self-congratulatory position on race.

    But if ever to be accused of the dreaded “R” word he would fall apart like furniture Made in China, be completely devastated and his life will never be the same again.

    Alpha
    I used to feel a burning need to respond to posts like Jangles
    However, please note what he is actually saying
    Nothing

    The strategy seems to be to toss this stuff out there, in this case the implication that ALL BLACKS are guilty of the crimes of an individual, then wait.

    Your response is exactly what they are looking for.
    Then they attempt to bully you into silence with accusations of “white guilt”

    The implication here is that there are no solutions but that final one
    But these cowards leave that up to you

    In reality, the Democrapt party NEEDS those Jangles, Mary’s and Incitatus’s to make their race war possible.
    See, they have already created the destitute conditions (entitlements class envy mentality ect) that breeds hate,(all crime is hate) which in turn fuels these instances of crime against whites. But they need a convenient foil for these race based crimes to continue.
    Rest assured that these three, (whether real or troll) are hoisted up as the face of their white Republican opposition
    My only question is ; what if a black family man (who is NOT robbing, looting, raping ect) stumbles on MB and witnesses the results of a Mary, Jangles, and Incitatus in control ?
    What if he were Tom Sowell ?
    Would he feel welcome enough to offer his solutions here ?
    BTW he fully acknowledges the prevalence of black on white crime

    Therefore I have decided to speak up once again.
    To the bullies;
    I have just posted the root causes of these race based crimes.

    Ever hear of “the preference cascade”?
    ‘Obama Gets Left Behind:’ The Preference Cascade Begins to Build

    “A decade ago, Glenn Reynolds described a “preference cascade” as one of the reasons why “totalitarian regimes collapse so suddenly:”

    Such regimes have little legitimacy, but they spend a lot of effort making sure that citizens don’t realize the extent to which their fellow-citizens dislike the regime. If the secret police and the censors are doing their job, 99% of the populace can hate the regime and be ready to revolt against it – but no revolt will occur because no one realizes that everyone else feels the same way.

    This works until something breaks the spell, and the discontented realize that their feelings are widely shared, at which point the collapse of the regime may seem very sudden to outside observers – or even to the citizens themselves. ”

    On Friday, May 25th, after the conclusion of a bruising week for the Obama regime, John Hayward of Human Events used Glenn’s “preference cascade” terminology to describe what was happening to the president: “That’s what began happening over the past couple of weeks: a large number of people discovered it’s okay to strongly disapprove of Barack Obama:”

    You’re right.

    I just get sick of a lifetime of these two-bit inferiority-complexed white-trash loud-mouths and their sociopathic need to berate others to feel good.

    It’s like they’re a subspecies.

    You’re correct. I worked in predominately black areas and have arrested more blacks than I dare say. But I blame the deed (the behavior) not the person. Any rational person does. If its not a black today, its a Jew tomorrow, and a chink or wop the next day.

    Jangles spew is totally predicated on abused self worth.

    Black America and their opportunity to blend into our melting pot has been diminished, if not eliminated, by decades of institutionalized nanny-state freebies which have all but eliminated ambition and motivation.

    Add to this the race-baiting profiteers like Jackson, Sharpton, and Reverend Wright who damage the future of blacks for ego or cash.

    Then you get ignorant delusionals like Jangles who slobber racist venom and you get a powder keg.

    We’re gonna have enough new race riots and more black v. white crime as is, we don’t need the destruction of another Civil War, which is what his mongrel breed incites.
