Bill,

A British Airways flight was denied entry to the United States because someone with the same name as an unwanted terrorist was on it.

If said person had been an actual terrorist, you can bet we would have heard a whole lot more about the story.

On IraqiLiberal / Free Iraqi
Why America is safe now

While the American and European left are serving staring roles in their own cartoonish sick parodies of themselves, Iraqi liberals are showing themselves to be remarkably worldly and asute, remarkable for a people who could be fed feet first into a plastic shreader machine if they got cought with a TV set that could get more than the official government broadcasts.

His take on the WOT is quite worthy insight

"Bin Laden realized that his hands are cuffed now and he has lost the initiative and thus came his reactionary speech just before the elections in trying to retrieve some initiative or to excuse his cowardice for other Muslims who might still support him, saying that he's not Attacking America because now there are two Americas and one of them is friendly!"

Whole Thing

Is it not ironic that this Iraqi has the freedom to say what the left can not, lest it mar their poker face as they pretend not to know how stupid they look.

Meanwhile
New Jersey: an Islamic murder of Coptic Christians?

How could this happen ?
Communist/Democrat(same thing)NAZI Gun control laws
Man shoots would-be robber; is arrested on gun charges

"Police arrested Sean E. Roisten, 29, of 833 Jette Court, and charged him with unlawful possession of a firearm and assault and battery with a deadly weapon on a robber who was holding Roisten's wife at gunpoint."

Never mind that pesky Enumerated right to Keep(own) and Bear(carry) a gun, to the east coast left. such limits on govt power dont matter, dont exist, are ignored.

The same utterly perverse thing that is happening in Britain, the new land of the disarmed and helpless.

A Danger to Burglars

This article in the Telegraph left me absolutely speechless. As crime rates in the UK skyrocket, the government has taken the brave stand of punishing anyone who decides to defend themself. A farmer named Tony Martin made headlines when he shot a burglar who had broken into his remote farmhouse. He received a five-year sentence for manslaughter, and was recently denied parole. The reasons? He was deemed a danger to burglars. He refused to express remorse for defending himself. The board felt that he was not up to speed with the 21st century and of thinking things were better 40 years ago.

For those of us that dont live under the Commie/Democrat ruled lands of helpless sheep, things happen this way.

Tulsa Homeowner Kills Burglary Suspect

"Tulsa homeowner killed a burglar Saturday night. Tulsa Police say the homeowner was in bed about 11:30 PM when he heard someone in his house. He told police he saw two shadows, so he shot twice. The homeowner followed a trail of blood to the backyard. Police found one burglar dead the other got away."

Ahh now thats my America, blast the sucker back out the window, tell the cops what happened, let em haul the dead meat out of your yard, replace the spent cartriges in your gun, then go back to sleep in your own bed.

As much as the Jihadi neck cutters want a safe place to cut necks, me thinks they will go after the blue states of helpless sheep, neck slicing is safer there.

As I noted in my Crossroads Arabia blog last week, there's a bit more to the story about the demonstrators' being sentenced in Saudi Arabia.

First, they were taking part in an illegal demonstration. And yes, there are legal demonstrations, defined as those for which a not-very-easily obtained permit is issued. This group had none.

More to the point, though, is that this demonstration was called by Sa'ad Fagih/Faqih, whom both the US and Saudi Arabia have put on the terrorist list for his support of UBL-type terror, through his MIRA group in London. If UBL had called the demonstration himself, would the situation be as problematic?

Post a comment

Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:

*This* puts text in bold.

_This_ puts text in italics.

bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.

To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.

Finally, note that a constant onslaught of Trackback spams from auto-generated blogspot blogs has forced Winds to ban the blogspot.com domain from use in comments or trackbacks. If you host on blogspot, consider moving; otherwise, the complaints need to be directed at Google not us.
