CAFTA, like NAFTA, is a political sell-out to big business

It cracks me up to hear people position these free trade agreements as beneficial to Americans:

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,163840,00.html

They clearly are not, they only serve to make it more lucrative for big business to move factories and businesses overseas. NAFTA was a travesty, and CAFTA will be as well, these agreements are how politicians pay back political donors who helped get them elected. It's a stab in the back to the American worker who only wants to make a decent wage.

I don't agree with the extortion power of unions, they're just greedy and corrupt now. But I also don't agree with trade deals like this that benefit only the richest 1% of the country. American companies should not be allowed to move overseas just because of corporate greed. And please don't try to tell me that American companies can't make a profit in this country, it's only the greed of owners, management, and stockholders that encourages companies to screw their American workers.

No-Talent Liberal Losers of the Year

The decision is in! The judges have ruled and it's a tie! Beating out liberal moonbats, socialist idiots, and traitorous, ignorant celebrities/politicians who were miles ahead, Moby and Eminem come from behind to take the gold!

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,163921,00.html

Because of the fact that niether of these ball-less wonders has any socially or physically redeeming traits or positive intellectual qualities whatsoever, in the final tally they edged out the Dixie Twists (who are at least mostly pleasant to look at), Jane Fonda-Commies (who again, looks much better than a couple of no-talent, wussy, puling, teenage-boy hacks like Moby Prick and Phleminem), and Susan Saranwrap, Martin Dweeb, Michael Moore-on, Whoopi DumbasanIceberg, Jeanine GarBuffalo, Sean Has-Penn, and Tim "The Pussy" Robbins (just barely).

Just goes to show ya; you can take the trash out of the trailer, but you can't take the trailer out of the trash.

It'll be great to see all these moonbats fade into obscurity, slowly, painfully, as Americans increasingly reject their hypocritical, ignorant, self-centered, anti-American garbage.

Before I go, I need to add more idiots to the list though: Greed Day, Bruce LoserStein, Steven Spukeberg, Hitlery Clinton, Ted "The Swimmer" Kennedy, John "Scumbag" Kerry, Nancy Spewlosi, Robert Byrd-brain, Harry "Americans are Dumbasses" Reid, Chuck "Allahu Akbar" Schumer, and so on...

Too many more to name, unfortunately.

American Muslim Group Issues Fatwa Against Terrorism

Excellent, glad to see it! We don't see enough of this yet, but every step in the right direction helps.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,163943,00.html

Now let's see muslims start turning in terrorists and those who help them. Let's see them stop giving money to terrorist groups, let's see the imams stop preaching hate and death, both towards Chistians and Jews, and in fact all others (except terrorists of course).

Sorry if I seem skeptical, but Islam has so much hate ingrained in it, directly supported by the Koran, and rulers of despotic muslim countries count on the hate to maintain their power base. When Iran, Syria, Palestine, Pakistan, Sudan, and Saudi Arabia issue their fatwas and begin jailing/executing terrorists at a brisk clip then maybe I'll believe Islam is a religion of peace, love, and justice for all, and not just for those in charge.

For now, pardon me if I continue to look at all muslims with a careful, wary eye.

In Contrast to Judge Young, Coughenour Prefers Making Law

It figures, a left coast judge is just as whacky as Judge Young (previous blog item) is pragmatic:

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,163787,00.html

I don't see what you're bragging about Judge Coughenour, it seems to me that you let this animal off easy. You wasted millions of our taxpayer dollars when the military could just as easily and much cheaper dealt with this man. The military could have gotten the information out of this scumbag faster, and no one would have been in a position to convince him to stop cooperating. Terrorists ARE NOT American citizens (if they are, they should immediately be stripped of this and turned over to the military), they DO NOT deserve due process, they DO NOT deserve civil rights protections and lawyers.

So instead of being executed or imprisoned for life in a federal prison by a military tribunal, now this terrorist can look forward to a life of leasure in some PC left coast prison (where he is free to preach hate and terror against Americans, but not to smoke cigarettes), and possibly get out while he's still young enough to try it again.

I'm sure that had this terrorist succeeded in killing a massive number of Americans he would have then be let free by the terrorist loving liberal scum on the bench in most western US Courts. Coughenour couldn't resist making an unnecessary and inane political statement, he couldn't just do the job for which Americans pay him.

This judge is exactly the opposite of fine men like Judge Young (below), and the poster child for getting rid of liberal activists in our courts.

Adios MF,

Doug

Way to go Judge Young!

Convicted shoe bomber Richard Reid was sentenced yesterday in Alexandria VA. Of course, none of the liberal media scum will report on Judge Young's sentencing, I had to get it by internet chain mail. But what a wonderful speech by Judge Young! It should be required reading for all leftist reports, politicians, and pundits.

There's at least one sitting Judge that is not a moonbat liberal whacko legislating from the bench, and my hat is off to him:


Ruling by Judge William Young, US District Court.

Prior to sentencing, the Judge asked the defendant if he had anything to say.

Reid's response: After admitting his guilt to the court for the record, Reid also admitted his "allegiance to Osama bin Laden, to Islam, and to the religion of Allah," defiantly stated "I think I will not apologize for my actions," and told the court "I am at war with your country."

Judge Young then delivered the statement quoted below:

January 30, 2003, United States vs. Reid. Judge Young: "Mr. Richard C. Reid, hearken now to the sentence the Court imposes upon you.

On counts 1, 5 and 6 the Court sentences you to life in prison in the custody of the United States Attorney General.

On counts 2, 3, 4 and 7, the Court sentences you to 20 years in prison on each count, the sentence on each count to run consecutive with the other. That's 80 years.

On count 8 the Court sentences you to the mandatory 30 years consecutive to the 80 years just imposed.

The Court imposes upon you each of the eight counts a fine of $250,000 for the aggregate fine of $2 million. The Court accepts the government's recommendation with respect to restitution and orders restitution in the amount of $298.17 to Andre Bousquet and $5,784 to American Airlines. The Court imposes upon you the $800 special assessment.

The Court imposes upon you five years supervised release simply because the law requires it. But the life sentences are real life sentences so I need go no further.

This is the sentence that is provided for by our statutes. It is a fair and just sentence. It is a righteous sentence. Let me explain this to you.

We are not afraid of you or any of your terrorist co-conspirators, Mr. Reid. We are Americans. We have been through the fire before. There is all too much war talk here and I say that to everyone with the utmost respect. Here in this court, we deal with individuals as individuals and care for individuals as individuals. As human beings, we reach out for justice.

You are not an enemy combatant. You are a terrorist. You are not a soldier in any war. You are a terrorist. To give you that reference, to call you a soldier, gives you far too much stature. Whether it is the officers of government who do it or your attorney who does it, or if you think you are a soldier. You are not----you are a terrorist. And we do not negotiate with terrorists. We do not meet with terrorists. We do not sign documents with terrorists. We hunt them down one by one and bring them to justice.

So war talk is way out of line in this court. You are a big fellow. But you are not that big. You're no warrior. I've known warriors. You are a terrorist. A species of criminal that is guilty of multiple attempted murders. In a very real sense, State Trooper Santiago had it right when you first were taken off that plane and into custody and you wondered where the press and where the TV crews were, and he said: "You're no big deal."

You ARE no big deal.

What your able counsel and what the equally able United States attorneys have grappled with and what I have as honestly as I know how tried to grapple with, is why you did something so horrific. What was it that led you here to this courtroom today?

I have listened respectfully to what you have to say. And I ask you to search your heart and ask yourself what sort of unfathomable hate led you to do what you are guilty and admit you are guilty of doing. And I have an answer for you. It may not satisfy you, but as I search this entire record, it comes as close to understanding as I know.

It seems to me you hate the one thing that to us is most precious. You hate our freedom. Our individual freedom. Our individual freedom to live as we choose, to come and go as we choose, to believe or not believe as we individually choose. Here, in this society, the very wind carries freedom. It carries it everywhere from sea to shining sea. It is because we prize individual freedom so much that you are here in this beautiful courtroom. So that everyone can see, truly see, that justice is administered fairly, individually, and discretely. It is for freedom's sake that your lawyers are striving so vigorously on your behalf and have filed appeals, and will go on in their representation of you before other judges.

We Americans are all about freedom. Because we all know that the way we treat you, Mr. Reid, is the measure of our own liberties. Make no mistake though. It is yet true that we will bare any burden; pay any price, to preserve our freedoms.

Look around this courtroom. Mark it well. The world is not going to long remember what you or I say here. Day after tomorrow, it will be forgotten, but this, however, will long endure. Here in this courtroom and courtrooms all across America, the American people will gather to see that justice, individual justice, justice, not war, individual justice is in fact being done. The very President of the United States through his officers will have to come into courtrooms and lay out evidence on which specific matters can be judged and juries of citizens will gather to sit and judge that evidence democratically, to mold and shape and refine our sense of justice.

See that flag, Mr. Reid? That's the flag of the United States of America. That flag will fly there long after this is all forgotten. That flag stands for freedom. And it always will.

Mr. Custody Officer. Stand him down.


Well done Judge Young, I'm standing up for you.

Adios MF,

Doug

Liberal Reporters Outed Plame, Not Rove

Ha! End of controversy, except the wailing of the partisan leftists in congress:

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,162583,00.html

It cracks me up that the Democrat furor over this will only serve to highlight that their liberal operatives in the leftist media are the real criminals. As if anyone need confirmation that liberals are among the biggest criminals in our country. It's a liberal standard these days that they ignore the laws they don't like.

But I'm in too big of hurry today to get into the details. Suffice to say, liberals are the biggest hindrance to progress in our nation today. Enough said.

Adios MF,

UBL and Saddam - Solidly Linked, Liberal Gainsaying Notwithstanding

Next time you hear a liberal like Martin Frost, John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, Harry Reid, or Hillary Clinton spout off that "Saddam had NOTHING to do with 911, it's a fact!", point them to this article. Brit Hume of Fox News has a great interview with Steven Hayes of The Weekly Standard:
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,162247,00.html

If a simple journalist can discover and report on the pre-9/11 links that Al Queda had with Saddam Hussein's Iraq, why can't these powerful Senators and ex-congressmen 'get' this? Possibly because they don't want it to be true? If true, and I think Saddam DID have a role in 9/11, either indirectly through funding, or directly with intelligence, equipment, or document support, then the War on Terror's foray into Iraq is not only justified, but required by our constitution. Iraq would have committed an act of war against the US, and our retaliation was justified and necessary.

Can't have that of course if you're busy undermining the US Military and the President at every turn, like most liberals. Liberal is too soft a word for these idiots, but rather than resort to profanity I'll just call them traitors and socialists, all. Those terms have the benefit of being highly accurate and still 'clean'. If Democrats (liberals by another name these days) had simply joined forces with the rest of the country Iraq would have been a much easier and less humanly expensive endeavor. I hold Democrats responsible for much of the innocent Iraqi blood spilled by Al Queda and other home grown terrorists in Iraq. Not to mention the lives of our soldiers wasted while Democrats attempt their power grab in a desparate attempt to remain relevant in modern US politics.

Democrats these days will stop at nothing, not even treason, to regain their lost power in our government. They'll let ANYONE suffer and die if it can be used to attack the Bush administration or our military's resolve. The proof is in the pudding - quod erat demonstratum - the facts speak for themselves; I'm sure that terrorists who are allowed to vote in the US (and I'm sure there are some) voted hands down for John Kerry in the last election. They want a return to the 'it's our fault' and 'what terrorism?' stance of the Clinton administration.

Fat chance. If this country has any common sense at all we'll NEVER have another liberal administration.

Democrat policy and leadership is a major reason that terrorism is so widespread and popular today. Years of weakening the CIA , FBI, and NSA, infiltrating these formerly fine institutions with liberal paper-pushers who would prefer that terrorism not be a national security issue (makes their jobs harder - gotta fix a national security threat), and decades of funding cuts have made our anti-terror efforts second-rate. What's worse is that even today after a DIRECT ASSAULT on our country by terrorists, our liberal Democrat leaders still would prefer not to protect us - additional attacks under a Republican administration (not to mention a demoralized military ala Vietnam tactics) will help them regain power.

It's probably a good idea that these ignorant liberal scumbags who somehow get elected to our country's leadership prefer to remain ensconsed in their ivory towers over off of Connecticut Avenue in DC. If I ever met Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, or Harry Reid face to face, or worse that lunatic Dean, I doubt I would be able to control myself - their betrayal of the public trust is simply too heinous to contemplate for long. To them I can only say:

"It's not YOUR government, or the Republican's. It's OURS, the American People's. You WILL do what we say, you only have power because we allow it. History will, correctly, preserve your legacy of treason and betrayal forever."

And actually, if Ted and John had to run for election ANYWHERE else besides the People's Republic of Massachusetts, their socialist, treasonous butts would be laughed off the podium. Or worse - most areas of the country does not tolerate cowards and traitors, not sure why Mass. does.

My Sincere Condolences Britain

My heart goes out to the British people, in particular those in London who are victims of today's terrorist attacks, and their families.

Damn all those who would murder in such a cowardly and evil manner. If these attacks were indeed caused by those calling themselves Muslims, as it looks to be, my anger continues to boil over at Muslim 'leaders' who remain silent about the mass murderers in their midst. These murderers are simply cowardly losers, unable to cope with a changing world and lashing out in their self-pity, they should be treated as such by moderate Muslims. Moderate silence just confirms the false opinion that all Muslims are killers.

We in the US consider an attack on our friends an attack on us all. We stand with Britain in their time of sadness and anger, trusting in the resolve and dedication of our two peoples to ultimately succeed in a truly free and democratic vision of the world. Theocratic fascism will suffer the same fate as nationalistic fascism in WWII, we will see to it personally even if the rest of the world prefers to wallow in socialist and appeasement doctrine. W said it best long ago after 9/11, "In the fight against terrorism you're either with us or against us."

"Us" includes Britain, now more then ever.

Adios MF,

African Aid - Money for Murderers

Wes Pruden hits another home run in his usual clear-headed fashion. African aid is a waste of time and money until true democracies reign across the continent:

http://www.washingtontimes.com/national/pruden.htm

The Millenium Challenge (where US aid is tied to pro-democracy, anti-corruption efforts by African countries) is a great idea from the Bush Administration, but we have to have the will to implement it properly. That means NO other aid will go to a nation that is ruled by corrupt leaders, that has no effective means for punishing crime and terrorism, who ignore human rights violations, and who refuse to care for their own people. The net effect of this implementation will be highlighting the corruption of Kenya, Nigeria, Somalia, South Africa, Zimbabwe, etc. - just about EVERY country on that continent.

Too bad the UN can't seem to bring attention to the massive corruption in Africa. That is, after all, a large part of the job they're supposed to be doing. Maybe it's because those corrupt nations take American aid and use it to bribe UN officials for committe appointments, blind eyes, and positive PR campaigns?

The very large downside to The Millenium Challenge idea is that the criminals who currently run most African nations WILL NOT be reformed, they must be removed. And consequently, the poor will continue to suffer and die. The MC can have no success if it has no teeth. It will have no teeth unless the world can agree that we need to unite against African corruption - tough love as Pruden says. The world will never agree under the current criminals at the UN. I don't see any hope for Africa until the UN is fixed or replaced.

Now if The Millenium Challenge is administered by the US, and under strict adherence, it could work. No other country in the world is as generous as the US, and none will give money or resources if the US says it will be wasted. One would hope anway. No other country can give on the scale of the US, and lesser amounts are pretty much useless.

Of course this is what the UN is supposed to do - if the US does it why do we need the UN again?

The Live 8 concerts are good for raising awareness, but Bono and the rest have no clue how to actually solve the problem. It makes the millionaire musicians and their pampered following feel good and brings attention to the problem, but it is otherwise a waste of time. Bono and his pals should try bringing attention to the corruption in Africa - THAT's the real problem, not lack of aid. Throwing good money after bad is not something Americans are willing to do anymore. Especially when Zimbabwe, Sudan, Somalia, South Africa, Uganda, Kenya, and many more African nations repeatedly show the world nothing but genocide, racism, slavery, greed, rape, murder, terrorism, and exploitation.
