DO YOU REALLY THINK THE TERRORISTS -GIVE A DAMN WHAT WE THINK?

TODAY IRAQ VOTES! Let us hope and pray that they succeed, and win their freedom. For it is through freedom that we shall prevail and find our way to lasting peace.
DID YOU KNOW that the prevailing thought among the extreme left, the George Soros types. Is that they would like us to lose the war, not only to make President Bush look bad, but the overall feeling is that we deserve this for attacking Iraq, and for what? They say for Oil….but of course, we thoughtful and intelligent people, know that we could get all the oil we ever wanted from the money grubbing Saddam and Saudi Arabia. In fact going to war for oil is probably the most unintelligent argument there is, it makes absolutely no sense. Secondly, hoping that we lose this war is tantamount to treason, Why? Because in hoping that the enemy prevails, you are praying that our Soldiers die. And that my friends is shamefully Anti-American.
SENATOR KENNEDY’S solution is to use diplomacy and appeasement. Have you ever tried talking to a terrorist? If we would have gone through the United Nations, as many suggest; that would have been a fateful mistake. Because as we know now that the oil for food scandal revealed a corruption in the United Nations that is unequaled in its history. We know that Russia, France, Germany and many other nations got huge payoffs from Saddam. They would have never relented. It is my personal belief, that had we listened to the UN, and Saddam had remained in power that the threat from Iraq, along with Syria and Iran, would threaten the very core of our existence.
Here is what it all boils down to. Many Americans do not take seriously the terrorist threat that is before us,. We need to realize that 911 changed our lives forever.. We are in a World War, it is not Vietnam, not Korea, not Germany. It is a war that was started on our soil, on American property, taking American lives. We all need to realize that the The UN will not help us, they are corrupt as hell; The terrorists do not care about red, blue, black, yellow or white; The progressive left or the conservative right, they make no distinction. If we are Americans, then in their eyes we are evil, and they want us
dead.
So when you are at home, relaxing and taking it easy. Sitting at your computer, while the sun is warm, and the sounds of children playing in the streets and schoolyards. The dogs barking, the angels praying. You, writing about how we should support the UN and Hate America and the President. That we should use diplomacy and appeasement, to end the terrorist reign……..
DON’ T BE SURPRISED in the not so distant future; you hear a small sound. A click, just behind your head….and as you abruptly turn from where you are sitting, you are staring into the eyes of terror, into the masked eyes of the terrorist, and as you face him, you raise your hand in peace, and say to him, " come let us reason together, let us sit and talk out our differences, let us appease, let us find a common ground. you continue on, after all you say, I did not support the War in Iraq, I did not support President Bush, I wanted us to lose that war…."
The terrorist after hearing you speak so eloquently and diplomatically draws a smile underneath his mask leaving a broad strikingly calm impression….then in an instant……A LOUD! BOOMING! NOISE!………..then silence……….this terrorist looking down from his weapon into the face of the lifeless American; this terrorist without blinking an eye, this terrorist simply exclaims.."Who cares? Who the hell cares?"

Stupidest comment I’ve ever read, a mere opinion from a lefty and no facts, nothing to back up the opinion. Opinons are like a@@holes–everyone has one. But if you want to give it some traction, then you’ll have to do better than that. Otherwise you just look daft, lassie.
I think it’s a great post. Good job, Gregory!

Hello. I enjoyed this post very much. You are completely nuts and very entertaining. So I’ve added a link to your blog on mine
Can we have more of these paraniod rants in the future please?
Comment by SickSad — 1/30/2005 @ 11:29 am
I enjoyed reading this very much and have put a link to you on my own humble blog.
You are completely nuts and very entertaining. I hope to see more of these paraniod rants soon.
Comment by sicksad — 1/30/2005 @ 11:37 am
And you are a little devoid of reason as you posted that response twice.
Gregory posted something fantastic–he brought us face to face with a terrorist and how they really care about the libs who are standing up for them.
The Qu’ran and the Sura don’t say that the libs will be spared, the terrorists want to kill us all. They are instructed by holy Qu’ran to kill the unbelievers and the apostates–those who help the Americans or leave the faith. It’s a pretty terrible situation.
Zarqawi recently said: “We have declared a bitter war against democracy and all those who seek to enact it,’ Zarqawi announced, adding that “democracy is based on the right to choose your religion,’ and that’s “against the rule of Allah.’
So unless you want to live your life in dhimmitude, you ought to read over what Gregory wrote up there. It’s the truth.
Comment by Cao — 1/30/2005 @ 11:52 am
Like I said, I loved the post and want to see more. I did get caught out with the double post, although that wasn’t a political statement, just a mistake.
I’m not a liberal, dunno where you got that from and I do know a little about terrorists as I wasn’t too far off getting blown up by a car bomb 5-6 years ago.
Can’t tell you their views on Islam though as they were all Catholics. Damn dem krazy kristians
Comment by sicksad — 1/30/2005 @ 2:03 pm
Thought you were a lib because of how you were laughing at the post, saying it was nuts and entertaining. That’s usually the kind of stupidity that comes out of them.
Catholics setting off car bombs? I find that kind of hard to believe.
Comment by Cao — 1/30/2005 @ 2:16 pm
Ah, the good old days. When terrorists were white, Irish, catholic and American-funded. Still, it was only us Brits who were getting bombed then and most of it was pre-cable news, so hey.
The reason I called the post nuts is that it’s world view so laughably simplistic. The real humour for me is that this is the current world view of the American goverment.
I’m not a liberal, nor do I have any alternatives to offer. That’s the good thing about being a bitter and twisted old cynic like me. I’m just hear for the beer and to make cheap jokes.
Comment by sicksad — 1/30/2005 @ 2:36 pm
Look, lass, the nationalists are the catholics, so…are you in Ireland or where is this thing you’re talkin’ about supposed to have happened?
Whatever the hell you are, you’re pretty smug, arrogant, cryptic and irritating.
Comment by Cao — 1/30/2005 @ 3:00 pm
“Catholics setting off car bombs? I find that kind of hard to believe.”
Catholics have indeed set off car bombs, in Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, and mainland Britain.
However, so have Protestants, so sicksad obviously, and casually, forgot that little part of his sob story.
Terrorism happens on both sides of a divide, but each side of the divide views their aches and pains as being the worst, while casually forgetting the pain that they have inflicted.
Comment by marie b. — 1/30/2005 @ 3:19 pm
I’m talking about in the US, lass because that’s where I am. Most of the bloggers here are in the United States, and that’s why I’m interested to hear this perspective although I think she’s calling the kettle black by calling us narrow-minded. In the United States, neither protestants nor catholics are into terrorist-type action. To me, it goes against biblical principles altogether.
To think that catholics in the United States would be setting off car bombs is beyond my imagination. That’s why I said it was hard to believe. For here, anyway.
For this woman to call us daft when she has a narrow perspective of her own area of the world and has labelled catholics as terrorists…just goes to show the European mindset, which to me, seems way off the beaten track. But that’s in this American’s mind.
So I’m interested in hearing more of the story. And if others, Marie, like you, have to tell it, then tell on.
Actually, veering away like this from Gregory’s topic/post, making fun of it like it’s crazy, ridiculing Americans for their worldview on their own turf (this blog) is very poor manners, but I’m still interesting in hearing what the hell that person is talking about.
Comment by Cao — 1/30/2005 @ 4:23 pm
I wasn’t trying to make a point about Ireland, but in your first reply to me you said I knew nothing about terrorism so I let you know my own personal brush with it, which happened to be a car bomb set by a splinter group of the IRA, funded by Noraid.
I wasn’t making any broad points about Irish/British relations or comparing it to anything happening now, I was making the point that I’ve experienced terrorism farily close up and didn’t like getting dismissed in the first post.
I brought up the catholic connection as I guessed you’d accuse me of calling all catholics terrorists when you pretty much did that for Islam.
Two final points. first of all I didn’t, and wouldn’t, label all americans simplistic in their worldview. Just the poster and the goverment. That’s not all of America.
Secondly to Marie; I don’t understand why becuause I mentioned almost getting blown up by a Republican car bomb that that means I’m pro-nationalist. I persoanlly think that Britain has no business being in Ireland at all and at the very least would like to see a federal UK goverment divolved to the four countries in the union. I just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. there was a warning given to the police, but the bomb exploded before they could defuse it. Happily they got us far enough out of the way and the only damage was to property. Still scary though.
Comment by sicksad — 1/30/2005 @ 5:16 pm
I went to your site and you’ve got a sarcastic irritating spin on things like you’re laughing all the time with a narcissistic smug quality that I find to be arrogant and unseemly. You quote the Guardian which is a socialist rag, I don’t entertain idiots or stupidity here. Maybe someone else has more patience than I.
I’m not a mind reader I don’t know who the hell you are or where you live, and if you leave cryptic comments like you did you’re going to get what you got.
Frankly at this point I’m so irritated after reading your dark blog with the light writing and the blood dripping off the letters, I’ don’t care to hear what you have to say. Maybe tomorrow I’ll read your stupid response but right now, I’m not up to it.
Perhaps Rottweiler Puppy can do some justice to this my patience runs short for idiots.
Interesting thing is–in the Qu’ran it says over 100 times to kill the infidel. In case you didn’t know it, the infidel is the unbeliever. Unbelievers are Christians and Jews, and in some cases, apostates, (people who have left the faith). To be a dhimmi in the Islamic world under the Sharia law is not very pleasant. I wrote about that here.
I’ve been studying Islam for quite a while. Doesn’t sound as though you know what the Qu’ran says or what the Sura says about this. Islam isn’t quite like Christianity. They believe that their religion should be the ruling law in their land.
They don’t allow Christians to step foot at Mecca and they’ve treated them terribly. You can see evidence of that here.
God tells us in Proverbs 31:8 that we must speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves. Tolerance toward other religions, is a part of the values foundation of the Bible. Unfortunately, this tolerance does not exist in the Muslim world, rather they are taught to kill the unbelievers, and not to befriend them.
THERE IS NOT ONE CHRISTIAN NATION ON EARTH WHERE MUSLIMS ARE PERSECUTED. Yet in 83% of nations where the majority of the population are Muslims, there is systematic government persecution of Christians and Jews.

You know everyone who visits my blog ends up atacking the colours =(
You should really read the Guardian beacuse, editorial aside, it’s the best online newpaper on the net in my opinion.
I’m Scottish but live in Birmingham in England and incdently I’m male, dunno where you got the idea I’m a woman from.
I hope my blog comes off as more cynical than smug, but I’ll take your criticism on board though. I’m writing a super bowl preview tomorrow, I’ll try to be more positive.
Comment by sicksad — 1/30/2005 @ 5:34 pm
ahhh that explains it. Your a scot. Maybe I thought you were a woman because you call yourself “sicksad”…kind of a weak female type position or name, to my way of thinking.
The Guardian called for Bush’s assassination and I don’t think that was very humorous or neighborly.
Same type of “humor” you display, I’m afraid. It’s blatantly Anti-American, just like the French le Monde.
I do read it once in a while, when someone points out something outrageous that’s been written…but generally, for news and so on, I don’t find it reliable in its approach. Other than Anti-American, that is. And I don’t need to fill my mind with that kind of hogwash.
Comment by Cao — 1/30/2005 @ 5:43 pm
that was blown so out of proportion. The actual quote was a throw away line from the TV reviewer in a seperate magazine that comes with the Guardian on Saturday’s. That was a case where blogs do more harm than good when running with a story.
But I did say look beyond the editorial content remember.
Comment by sicksad — 1/30/2005 @ 5:59 pm
and I don’t think I’m anti-american just becuase I don’t agree with this post and Bush’s politics. If you read my blog then you most of noticed I’m very pro-american when it comes to sport.
I wouldn’t expect you to like everything about my country, and I wouldn’t dismiss you as anti-british if you let me know some of the things you hated about us.
Anyway, I think this is enough spam on here. If you want to continue this, use the forums on my blog, they could do with the posts…
Comment by sicksad — 1/30/2005 @ 6:07 pm
ah sport is where it’s going to make it, there young lad. If only the world would agree with the US on sport, then–things would be all right.
The most amazing thing to me is peoples’ ignorance on Islam and what they’re trying to accomplish.
They have vowed to kill us. They have made no bones about it! So whatever –I don’t see how sport is even relevant to this post or what we’re discussing here. Actually, it’s kind of funny that you would bring that up and try to make that relevant to world events. While the Iraqis voted for the first time in 50 years, you’re encouraging me to read that socialist rag, the Guardian. Regardless of the circumstances, that guy should never have posted that call to assassinate George Bush.
Euro Socialists Say: Assassinate Bush
Charlie Brooker told the readers of the far-Left British newspaper Guardian:
It was pulled, but Brooker’s column confirms what many have long sensed: The Left’s all-consuming hatred has led it outside the bounds of rational discourse. Its love of conspiracy theories is one sign. Its avowal of brownshirt-style intimidation, whether couched in “humor” or not, is another. In recent years, the Left has wished for its opponents’ deaths with disturbing frequency.
The Guardian launched an ambitious program to swing the election for Kerry by having its readers write to “undecided” voters in Clark County, Ohio (county seat: Springfield, just west of Columbus). Clark County had narrowly voted for Al Gore in 2000, although Ohio went to George W. Bush. In this, Guardian editors saw promise. They obtained the list of supposed “undecided” voters (the voters had actually not voted in the previous two primaries; they were not “undecided”) and paired 14,000 Buckeye addresses up with 14,000 willing leftists itching to put pen to paper. (They have also seemingly failed to pay for the use of the voter list as of yet.) They intended to send 42,000 such letters to the county’s voters.
Having Euro-socialists write anti-American diatribes to heartland Midwesterners had predictable results: the county recoiled in horror.
You haven’t acknowledge how the Islamanazis have vowed to kill us, that Sharia law would put us under dhimmitude, or what that would mean to people who are not muslim.
I don’t think you have your asshat on straight there, lad.
Comment by Cao — 1/30/2005 @ 6:16 pm
I think there *are* some parallels between the way the IRA was funded and the way Islamic terrorism is funded today. Yes, some U.S. Catholics gave money that was used by Republican terrorists to kill Brits during the 70’s and 80’s, and yes, those people should be heartily ashamed of themselves for having done so.
At the time, the explanation given was that American Catholics didn’t fully understand what it was like to live under the threat of a terrorist attack, and I think this is probably true. Terrorism *is* different to conventional war, and I think it *is* probably true that up until 9/11 many Americans didn’t fully appreciate what the U.K. went through during the IRA’s campaign of violence against us. The thought that death can drop on you without warning, delivered by an enemy who won’t wear a uniform and who actually aims to kill as many civilians as he can is something that has to be lived through to be understood. Most Americans, having experienced this first hand, now do understand, and I seriously doubt the IRA would get much funding or sympathy from U.S. citizens today.
But. How quickly many British people forget.
Right now, when America is trying to make the world safer by dealing with Islamist terror, too many British people do nothing but carp about detention without trial, human rights violations, heavy-handed use of force, blah, blah, blah.
This is how terrorists have to be dealt with. In Northern Ireland, British forces were accused of exactly the same kind of things: Bloody Sunday, the shoot-to-kill fiasco, Thatcher placing a gagging order on the IRA’s political leaders so their words couldn’t be broadcast directly on British tv. Most of these measures were accepted as necessary by British citizens, yet, fifteen years on, we’re welcoming Islamic terrorists home from Gitmo and whining about U.S. ‘imperialism’.
Back in the IRA’s heyday, U.S. Catholics could be accused of ignorance about the devastating effects of terrorism — What’s our excuse?

So the IRA and Sinn Fein are catholics? I honestly didn’t know that. Well who are the protestants, then? Who are the Ulster Freedom Fighters and boy am I out of my league on this subject.
Oh and sadsack or whatever your name is, I’m sorry I thought you were a chick. Change your name to something manly, and you’ll be more recognizable as a guy.
I’d rather not go to your blog -I hate blogs that have the black background and the light lettering–it’s like being in a dungeon and I detest the blood dripping from the letters. Thank you, I prefer to pursue discussions here; for a number of reasons, the primary one being that I can comfortably read everything without hurting my eyes.
Comment by Cao — 1/30/2005 @ 6:30 pm
I think you’re miss-informed about the whole guardian thing Cao, it wasn’t pulled from the newspaper as it was never on there, it was pulled from the website after a dos attack. This isn’t the place to explain to you who Charlie Brooker is and some of the stuff he’s done in the past, but here’s some stuff to google if you’re interested
Charlie Brooker
Chris Morris
The Day Today
Blue Jam
Nathan Barely
But what I really think that whole episode came down to was a difference in senses of humour between us.
Anyway this is my last comment. I’ve linked to your blog so I can keep up to date with the right wing loonies in the US, feel free to keep up to date with what us smug lefties are planning in the UK
Comment by sicksad — 1/30/2005 @ 6:55 pm
I called the Guardian a socialist rag because it is a newspaper, but I only read what’s online. Remember, I’m in the United States. So whatever they’ve got that can be linked to is what I read. Interesting that you focus on a stupid little detail–I’m referring to a blog not a newspaper-when that’s not the issue at hand. The issue about the Guardian is that it’s notoriously leftist and anti-American, and there is plenty of evidence of that both in the link I put up there, and the narrative.
I think you’re in denial, sad sack, but whatever. And you totally ignored the Rotty which means we’re right on the money. Drop in any time, the doors are always open, and we welcome the perspective of Europeans, although I hesitate to encourage you too much.

So, next time any of us hear a liberal wailing, ‘It’s going to be another Vietnam’, we have a comeback. ‘No,’ we can tell them. ‘It’s going to be another Iraq.’

I was born in Scotland to an American serviceman and a Scottish woman. On occassion I go back to visit my grandfather, unfortunately the country is lacking in good conservative values, hopefully they will get there shit together now that they have a parliment, but that is yet tobe seen. The cost of living is outrageous, even with the pound at almost 2-1 to the dollar prices are equitable, meaning expensive (if a dollar buys “X”, a pound buys “X” too, with the exchange rate “X” is very expensive there)
