‘..They claim the system works, and they’re right. Supporters turn in the naysayers, and naysayers get turned in by the supporters. So it’s all good. Nice and symmetrical. Equal justice under the law. But fear not, the Constitution, that last refuge of free men—it used to be the first—guarantees dissenters safe haven from Wal-Mart’s part-time junior agents, and from the regime’s AFL-CIO and TSA enforcers, even shielded from the rabble as they are by the full faith and credit of their DHS minders. This assumes we can find the on-ramp to an alternative universe where the Constitution applies of course….’    HERE
It’s the best source of hell-in-a-handbasket news, odd facts, fascinating asides and interesting links out there. And wonderfully written.

‘.Following the Herald/Nielsen poll yesterday that showed Mr Rudd at the helm would restore Labor to an election-winning lead, the Deputy Opposition Leader, Julie Bishop, told a meeting of the shadow ministry that the Coalition must be ready for such a move…’
The problems Australia faces are a result of Labor -and Labor cozying up to the Green marxists. The Red Woodpecker is just one small aspect of what’s wrong.

It’s probably no exaggeration to say that 2012 may be the last chance to save the Republic from the tide of Marxist filth. 

From a fine post by Liberty Scott:
‘It had to happen.  The London Metropolitan Police has today protected about 100 protestors who in Grosvenor Square – the location of the US Embassy to the UK – held placards proclaiming “Islam will dominate the world”, calling for an Islamic Caliphate for the UK and the US and celebrating that Afghanistan is a graveyard of US soldiers.  They deliberately broke the minute of silence held to commemorate the dead and are now celebrating the same on their website.  They burnt the US flag.
…It is worth noting that two groups counter-protested.  A group of Muslims appeared holding placards saying “Muslims against Extremism”, “Keep the Silence” and “If you want Sharia, Move to Saudi”.  Good for them.
…Another group comprised the English Defence League, a group commonly described as fascist/far right, which is largely a bunch of working class men who are loudly and usually rather bluntly against Islamism.
The Police moved them so that the Islamist misogynists could have their protests…’                          (bold mine)

Major James Devereux, commander of the U.S. Marines defending Wake Island.
The small Marine detachment on Wake held out against overwhelming Japanese forces from December 8 to December 22, 1941. The last message sent out before Devereux and his men were overwhelmed was received by radio telegraphy and said simply:

Robert Spencer:
‘Ten years after 9/11, the war on terror is far from over, and we are losing it. We were attacked on Sept. 11, 2001, by Islamic jihadists who explained, in writings they left behind, that they were committing mass murder in the name of Islam, inspired by the teachings of Islam, and in defense, as they saw it, of Islam. They struck the United States in service of their hope of destroying it, and ultimately imposing upon the U.S., the West and the world an Islamic government that would rule according to Islamic law, which denies the freedom of speech, the freedom of conscience and equality of rights for all people.
Yet 10 years later, it is not only the height of political incorrectness to speak about the motives and goals of those who attacked the United States on that terrible day. It is explicitly against United States government policy..’

The ancient Greeks “got it”.   Our so-called “leaders” dare not.
Deport every muslim from the West. No more muslim immigrants. Tear down every mosque and outlaw the ideology. Begin a program of targeted assassinations of every imam, financier and islamic leader who advocates war on the West by placing a huge bounty on their heads. And remove all restrictions on domestic oil exploration and refining.

‘On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society’
Lt. Col. Dave Grossman

‘And now they wait and whiten peaceably,

Those conquerors, those poets, those so fair:

They know time comes, not only you and I,

But the whole world shall whiten, here or there;
When those long caravans that cross the plain

With dauntless feet and sound of silver bells

Put forth no more for glory or for gain,

Take no more solace from the palm-girt wells.

When the great markets by the sea shut fast

All that calm Sunday that goes on and on:

When even lovers find their peace at last,

And Earth is but a star, that once had shone..’
