Text of the page (random words):
ner you know that you are in an arab country when you see people living in the past with all the trappings of modernity do not be surprised you are in an arab country when religion has control over science you can be sure that you are in an arab country when clerics are referred to as scholars don t be astonished you are in an arab country when you see the ruler transformed into a demigod who never dies or relinquishes his power and whom nobody is permitted to criticize do not be too upset you are in an arab country when you find that the large majority of people oppose freedom and find joy in slavery do not be too distressed you are in an arab country when you hear the clerics saying that democracy is heresy but see them seizing every opportunity provided by democracy to grab high positions in the government do not be surprised you are in an arab country when monarchies turn into theocracies and republics into hybrids of monarchy and republic do not be taken aback you are in an arab country when you find that the members of parliament are nominated by the ruler or else that half of them are nominated and the other half have bought their seats through bribery you are in an arab country when you discover that a woman is worth half of what a man is worth or less do not be surprised you are in an arab country when you see that the authorities chop off a man s hand for stealing a loaf of bread or a penny but praise and glorify those who steal billions do not be too surprised you are in an arab country when you are forced to worship the creator in school and your teachers grade you for it you can be sure that you are in an arab country when young women students are publicly flogged merely for exposing their eyes you are in an arab country when land is more important than human beings you are in an arab country when covering the woman s head is more important than financial and administrative corruption embezzlement and betrayal of the homeland do not be astonished you are in an arab country when minorities are persecuted and oppressed and if they demand their rights are accused of being a fifth column or a trojan horse be upset you are in an arab country when women are seen as house ornaments which can be replaced at any time bemoan your fate you are in an arab country when birth control and family planning are perceived as a western plot place your trust in allah you are in an arab country when at any time there can be a knock on your door and you will be dragged off and buried in a dark prison you are in an arab country when fear constantly lives in the eyes of the people you can be certain that you are in an arab country let me add one when you see your partner hanging by a rope in a public square just because he is gay you can be certain you are in an arab country now to ian chet lester and the other bush as tyrant crowd can you look yourself in the mirror and honestly say that any of those things are happening in the united states or other western democracies you need to decide which side of this war you are on folks american progressives have turned into nothing more than appeasers to islamic terror these days i wonder if these same progressives in 1939 would have shown the storm troopers the way to my home bruce gaypatriot comments 61 of telemarketers political discourse posted by gaypatriotwest at 4 40 pm february 27 2007 filed under civil discourse general earlier today as i was reading for class i answered a phone call from a telemarketer normally i check my caller id before picking up the phone but this time failed to consider the 866 area code as soon as i realized she was a telemarketer i tried to end the conversation politely telling her that i did not have an account at her bank despite my statement and my expressed intent to end the conversation she continued to read from the script she mentioned something about needing my approval to send me something at this point i told her i needed to go but she kept reading about this amazing offer i realized it was impossible to be polite so finally just hung up she didn t even listen to me just kept reading from the script we see the same thing frequently in our political discourse someone will raise an objection to the argument of an ideological adversary but he won t address the objection merely continue on as if the person had said nothing or assume the objector had said what he the adversary had wanted him to say in order to make the point of his script talking points i mean just look how democrats reacted to the president s new strategy for iraq he appoints a new commanding officer against whose confirmation not a single democrat voted and outlines a new plan for dealing with the violence in baghdad and they respond with the same criticism they had been offering for some time it s nothing new some of our critics too reply to our points not as we expressed them but as they wish we had expressed them as from time to time so do some of our defenders instead of responding like a telemarketer with a set script let s respond to each other by listening to our adversaries points but i ve said this before i guess we ll just have to accept that some people are just like telemarketers not interested in the person with whom they are communicating but content to try to push their product to a generic human being comments 20 the dna of today s democrats posted by bruce carroll at 7 36 am february 27 2007 filed under liberals post 9 11 america war on terror world history world war iii well if there s a chance that al sharpton may be related to strom thurmond himself and not just the thurmond family slaves then there is probably a reasonable chance that nancy pelosi can trace her dna back to hey stranger things have happened and it is certainly logical since nancy and neville share the appeasement gene bruce gaypatriot comments 16 are the 100 hours over yet posted by bruce carroll at 6 44 am february 27 2007 filed under congress 110th liberals national politics post 9 11 america many americans who now have voter s remorse congressional approval numbers are abysmal should hope that the much ballyhooed 100 hours have expired the folks at the politico com have a story with the most obvious headline i ve read in a while pelosi falls short on election promises duh anyone with a brain knew she would house speaker nancy pelosi is discovering the cold truth about governing with a slim majority it s much easier to promise behavioral change for congress than to deliver it that isn t entirely true the house is designed for as a friend of mine describes mob rule so it is a bit disingenuous to make this statement if you are just talking about the house of representatives passing final legislation yes is harder than promising it but the truth is being in the majority is being king even with one vote in the us house but nancy isn t even living up to her most highlighted promise to be the most ethical congress in history coughs melanie sloan executive director of citizens for responsibility and ethics in washington a congressional watchdog organization said us rep william jefferson s reelection put the new speaker in a bind pelosi had to put him somewhere said sloan who has also worked as minority counsel for the house judiciary committee for then ranking member john conyers jr d mich but i am troubled by the fact that jefferson is the kind of guy who could not pass a security clearance test and yet now he has access to top secret government info some democratic lawmakers privately warn that pelosi could blow a rare opportunity to change voters perception of the party and congress if she reverts to old republican ways in a recent newspaper commentary former democratic rep lee hamilton of indiana expressed concern that the new democratic majority in the house which certainly understands the sting of unfair treatment has on occasion yielded to the temptation of its newfound power to shut down republican participation ah the 110th imperial congress with the speaker s craving of a luxury 757 and all continues the people s work bruce gaypatriot comments 14 will others respond as has obama to clintons mud slinging posted by gaypatriotwest at 8 39 pm february 26 2007 filed under 2008 presidential politics liberals there is little that i can add to the discussion last week on the tussle between the presidential campaigns of hillary rodham clinton and barack obama while most pundits thought obama came out the winner others thought hillary emerged victorious while i think obama came out slightly better than mrs clinton the real exchange really brought out the strengths and weaknesses of her candidacy jim geraghty offers thoughtful insight here peggy puts in her two cents here and bill kristol has also weighed in it showed how sensitive she is to criticize but how eager she is to attack for those who don t recall the story the whole thing got underway when one time bill clinton fundraiser and current obama supporter david geffen told maureen dowd of the new york times that while everyone in politics lies the clintons do it with such ease it s troubling and mrs clinton s team replied basically belly aching about the politics of personal destruction she seems to repeat this mantra any time anyone dares criticize her or her husband the danger in dealing with the clintons is that they re experts at what i have called the reverse offense defense attacking anyone who dares criticize them as former house speaker newt gingrich put it earlier today if a campaign is going to degenerate into a mud slinging contest the clintons will always win because they are vastly more ready to jump into the pit the recent attacks over david geffen and barack obama are just a sample of how quickly and fiercely the clintons will attack if the campaign is simply about who can out negative whom dick morris points out that hillary was among the first to hire private detectives to dig up dirt on women who had been linked to bill on linda tripp on other clinton accusers and on virtually anyone else who stood in the way of her ambitions for her husband while the clintons have long dug up dirt on their opponents they haven t been used to their opponents fighting back with the skill that senator obama s team has when team clinton attacked geffen obama s spokesman robert gibbs replied the clintons had no problem with david geffen when he was raising them 18 million and sleeping at their invitation in the lincoln bedroom nice peggy thinks this episode has made hillary for a moment at least seem less inevitable while roger simon thought it showed that geffen doesn t think hillary could win whatever the case this shows that the clintons aren t used to such deft replies to their attacks it may be a sign as james taranto speculated today about another matter related to her campaign that the junior senator from new york may find herself unprepared because she is so used to deferential treatment from the press this is a different campaign for team clinton in the past they were accustomed to rivals who did not respond well to their challenges it remains to be seen if obama s campaign can continue to so respond to the clintons attacks and in the case that she wins the democratic nomination that the republican candidate and his team will show the skill obama s team did in this recent dustup update john fund has a good column in today s wall street journal on hillary s problems noting the unwillingness of her team to address the scandals that swirled around bill clinton s eight years in office fund believes this strategy carries the danger of eroding mrs clinton s carefully cultivated image of moderation and reasonableness during a campaign that still has almost a year to run before the first primaries now that i ve whet your appetite just read the whole thing comments 29 early start to 08 campaign compromises national interest posted by gaypatriotwest at 7 16 pm february 26 2007 filed under 2008 presidential politics bush hatred civil discourse liberals national politics the democrats have already held their first candidates forum for the 2008 presidential election and ten months before the first primary one candidate former iowa governor tom vilsack has already withdrawn from the race and like peggy noonan s friend i too am wondering why everyone is obsessing on the presidential race so early for the first time in twelve years we have a democratic majority in congress shouldn t the focus be on their legislative priorities rather than speculation about who will succeed the current chief executive alas that next year s presidential campaign has alas impacted the way congress does business i highly doubt that senator joe biden d del would be working on legislation deauthorizing the war in iraq were he not trying to reach out to the left wing base of his party it s unfortunate that the presidential campaign has begun so soon it has led to an overpoliticization of the war in iraq with top democrats more concerned with criticizing the incumbent s policies than in considering the national interest and achieving victory in this conflict as senator joe lieberman wrote today in the wall street journal will we allow our actions to be driven by the changing conditions on the ground in iraq or by the unchanging political and ideological positions long ago staked out in washington what ultimately matters more to us the real fight over there or the political fight over here unlike some of his democratic colleagues he recognizes that the new security strategy differs from previous efforts and suggests we give our new commander there general david petraeus and his troops the time and support they need to succeed but with the presidential campaign having begun so soon too many democrats act as if the incumbent has already lost all authority perhaps it s because these democrats and some even in the msm so resent this man and question the legitimacy of his initial election that they have begun campaigning so soon whatever the case so early a start to the campaign threatens the system of checks and balances established by the constitution like it or not in november 2004 george w bush was elected to a four year term to serve as president until january 20 2009 the constitution makes him commander in chief of the armed forces and also grants him the power to veto any legislation the congress passes instead of posturing for their political base democrats need to confront this reality people shouldn t be focusing on next year s election particularly when our nation is at war this year we can speculate why the campaign has heated up so quickly so long before from the first caucuses but we can t lose sight of our nation s current political dynamics this does not mean democrats should refrain from criticizing the president for i do believe they should speak out when they disagree with his policies but they should do so in recognition of his constitutional responsibiliti...
