According to the right Muslims hate women and want them to all wear bur'qahs right?

Then how would a bunch of middle aged women from America be able to influence any Muslim?

I think George Soros casts a +5 Influence spell on them, that's how.

Not a crazy e-mail, but crazy nonetheless:

A topic about the ethics of rape popped up on one of the forums I visit, and one of the members argues that rape is "okay" in cases of the woman "saying no, but meaning yes/try harder" and if she's a "dumb slut/stupid bitch". She (yes, it's a woman. One who frequently complains about sexual harassment from men because she apparently has huge knockers, no less) then posts this website: http://www.falserape.net/

I haven't really had the time to dissect the website (yet), but at first sight I can already see some things that are patently false (like false rape reports being up to 40%) but I figured some of you are much better at this than me, anyway :v:

Also, the URL looks familiar, does anyone know if it's been adressed somewhere before?

I don't remember how that debate ended up going (it was around the height of the hysteria last year, shortly before Obama destroyed America with health care reform) but I'm pretty confident that nothing I could have said would have shut her up. I wasn't even defending the health care bill in the first place - I was obviously just a convenient proxy because it's hard to yell at the president directly.

I sent out a stupid email to a state rep today, figured this would be a good enough place to share it.

Background, Feb. 8th in front of the Kansas House Federal and State Committee Rep Connie O'Brien claimed to have seen an illegal alien qualify for financial aid, while her son (whom she claims is paying for college 100% on his own) did not. The following exchange took place:

REP SEAN GATEWOOD (D-Topeka) - Can you expand on how you could tell that they were illegal?

REP CONNIE O’BRIEN (R-Tonganoxie) - Well she wasn’t black, she wasn’t Asian, and she had the olive complexion.

Full transcript here: http://www.kansasdems.org/files/OBRIENTESTIMONY.pdf

My email that will be promptly ignored by her but maybe will make one of you smile:

Dear Rep O'Brien,

Since you have recently obtained the ability to read minds, proved through your uncanny ability to tell the nationality and legal status of people with simply a glance, I would hope that you could make best use of your new found abilities by leaving your elected government office and perhaps entering into national security. Imagine the great benefits you could bring by reading the minds of detainees or terrorist suspects, you could instantly glean the necessary security information with your cold penetrating stare. You'd potentially save the lives of millions! If you join the CIA you could use this telekinesis to quickly obtain detailed classified information that would otherwise take years to gather. The United States could then use this information to protect ourselves and continue the fight for security and safety of all Americans; assisting in the upholding of the great ideals our country operates on. That people should be free of repression, hate and "...not be judged by the color of their skin, but the content of their character."

But, if you consider clandestine service too dangerous then I still encourage you to step down and use these new super powers by becoming a judge! With these abilities you could streamline the judicial system and eliminate wrongful convictions. At the very least as a local police detective you could help reduce crime and wrongful arrests. If you still want to be in the limelight we might be able to get you a show on the Discovery Channel about your exploits! It would be fun and your experience testifying before the Kansas House Federal and State Committee surely cements your solid acting credentials. In fact, I think some people might have even been fooled into believing that you knew what you were talking about!

In conclusion, I once again implore you to leave elected office quickly and use your powerful super human abilities in a more appropriate facility that brings the full benefits of your gifts to this great country. If it doesn't work out, traveling circuses are always looking for age & weight guessers.

Sincerely (moderately),
--Edited for privacy--

Welcome Home, Boys....


Thought you all might like to read this one. What is next to come???


As the Chalk Leader for my flight home from Afghanistan, I witnessed the following:

When we were on our way back from Afghanistan, we flew out of Baghram Air Field. We went through customs at BAF, full body scanners (no groping), had all of our bags searched, the whole nine yards. Our first stop was Shannon, Ireland to refuel. After that, we had to stop at Indianapolis, Indiana to drop off about 100 folks from the Indiana National Guard. That's where the stupid started.

First, everyone was forced to get off the plane-even though the plane wasn't refueling again. All 330 people got off that plane, rather than let the 100 people from the Indiana National Guard get off. We were filed from the plane to a holding area. No vending machines, no means of escape. Only a male/female latrine.

It's probably important to mention that we were ALL carrying weapons. Everyone was carrying an M4 Carbine (rifle) and some, like me, were also carrying an M9 pistol. Oh, and our gunners had M-240B machine guns. Of course, the weapons weren't loaded. And we had been cleared of all ammo well before we even got to customs at Baghram, then AGAIN at customs.

The TSA personnel at the airport seriously considered making us unload all of the baggage from the SECURE cargo hold to have it reinspected. Keep in mind, this cargo had been unpacked, inspected piece by piece by U.S. Customs officials, resealed and had bomb-sniffing dogs give it a one-hour run through. After two hours of sitting in this holding area, the TSA decided not to reinspect our Cargo-just to inspect us again: Soldiers on the way home from war, who had already been inspected, reinspected and kept in a SECURE holding area for 2 hours. Ok, whatever. So we lined up to go through security AGAIN.

This is probably another good time to remind you all that all of us were carrying actual assault rifles, and some of us were also carrying pistols.

So we're in line, going through one at a time. One of our Soldiers had his Gerber multi-tool. TSA confiscated it. Kind of ridiculous, but it gets better. A few minutes later, a guy empties his pockets and has a pair of nail clippers. Nail clippers. TSA informs the Soldier that they're going to confiscate his nail clippers. The conversation went something like this:

TSA Guy: You can't take those on the plane.

Soldier: What? I've had them since we left country.

TSA Guy: You're not suppose to have them.

Soldier: Why?

TSA Guy: They can be used as a weapon.

Soldier: [touches butt stock of the rifle] But this actually is a weapon. And I'm allowed to take it on.

TSA Guy: Yeah but you can't use it to take over the plane. You don't have bullets.

Soldier: And I can take over the plane with nail clippers?

TSA Guy: [awkward silence]

Me: Dude, just give him your drat nail clippers so we can get the hell out of here. I'll buy you a new set.

Soldier: [hands nail clippers to TSA guy, makes it through security] To top it off, the TSA demanded we all be swabbed for "explosive residue" detection. Everyone failed, [go figure, we just came home from a war zone], because we tested positive for "Gun Powder Residue". Who the hell is hiring these people?

This might be a good time to remind everyone that approximately 233 people re-boarded that plane with assault rifles, pistols, and machine guns-but nothing that could have been used as a weapon. Can someone please tell me What the hell happened to OUR country while we were gone?

Sgt. Mad Dog Tracy

PS. I can answer that; we elected someone who promised "Change"

Is this just supposed to be a 'Obama didn't change anything!" dig? Did someone just happen to forget that both the TSA and these policies were created under Bush?

Yeah I'm really confused. I had the same thing happen to me while carrying a SAW and M-16 with attached grenade launcher getting on a plane with only other soldiers onboard in 2004. Also there was no need to repurchase the nail clippers, they were tagged with my name and given back to me by one of the flight attendants when we landed.

As another poster already stated, this practice is nothing new. On my return trip from Iraq in '04 we encountered the same craziness going through customs and once again flying back to Bragg. Funny thing is, the people you can blame are dumb rear end GIs who continually try to smuggle anything from AKs to old soviet land mines to grenades back in cargo containers full of radio equipment and duffel bags.

None of this poo poo has anything to do with who is President and everything to do with dumb, excited kids trying to bring back incredibly dangerous items from a warzone. GIs shouldn't get a free pass just because people think they are HEROES™.

In my experience with the more hard core conservative soldiers their main focus is just to be anti-Democratic. Within months of Obama being elected I heard soldiers complaining that he was going to take away the new GI Bill and lamenting the fact that McCain hadn't been elected, not realizing that Obama was a strong proponent of the bill and McCain had been against it.

Anti-Gun Senator Shoots Intruder

Long time Anti-Gun Advocate State Senator R.C. Soles, 74, shot one of two intruders at his home just outside Tabor City , N.C. about 5 p.m. Sunday, the prosecutor for the politician's home county said.

The intruder, Kyle Blackburn, was taken to a South Carolina hospital, but the injuries were not reported to be life-threatening, according to Rex Gore, district attorney for Columbus, Bladen and Brunswick counties.

The State Bureau of Investigation and Columbus County Sheriff's Department are investigating the shooting, Gore said. Soles, who was not arrested, declined to discuss the incident Sunday evening.

"I am not in a position to talk to you," Soles said by telephone. "I'm right in the middle of an investigation."

The Senator, who has made a career of being against gun ownership for the general public, didn't hesitate to defend himself with his own gun when he believed he was in immediate danger and he was the victim.


In typical hypocritical liberal fashion, the "Do as i say and not as I do" Anti-Gun Activist Lawmaker picked up his gun and took action in what apparently was a self-defense shooting. Why hypocritical you may ask? It is because his long legislative record shows that the actions that he took to protect his family, his own response to a dangerous life threatening situation, are actions that he feels ordinary citizens should not have if they were faced with an identical situation.

It has prompted some to ask if the Senator believes his life and personal safety is more valuable than yours or mine.

But, this is to be expected from those who believe they can run our lives, raise our kids, and protect our families better than we can.

http://www.snopes.com/politics/guns/soles.asp

Supposedly this break in (and him shooting the intruder) did happen. But he was never anti-gun, in fact the NRA gave him consistently good scores (and they went UP as years went on)

Conservatives only now realize Fox lies?


quote:

Last week…FOX NEWS was CAUGHT IN AN ADMITTED LIE and has MANIPULATED the truth.



Below is proof that ALL TV MEDIA is owned by Power-Hungry Globalist Elite. FOX NEWS recently manipulated the CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) straw poll results in an effort to make the winner (RON PAUL) of the 2011 CPAC look as if people didn’t want him to win and didn’t approve of him.



Don’t just trust what TV is pumping into your homes…you must prove and test all information. Deception is everywhere. If you care about the 2012 elections and our country, then take the time to see how the media will continue to manipulate the facts as the election gets closer. Their goal is to keep a PUPPET in office that will do their bidding (which is stimulus after stimulus, ravishing our economy, and turning this nation into a socialist society) and discount any real candidates out there.



In regards to Ron Paul, the opposite is actually true…he won with a huge approval and people cheered for him that night. The video link below show the manipulation…it is a little hard to follow in the beginning…but hang in there and you will be BLOWN AWAY.



Ron Paul is by far the best candidate for President in 2012 (he hasn’t officially announced his run yet). He is Liberty Minded, believes in Limited Government, believes in Constitutional Authority, is Pro-Life, and is a Christian.



FOX NEWS portrays itself as a conservative news station…but in reality they only show the part of TRUTH that they want you to see. After all, it is owned by Rupert Murdoch.



The link below clearly shows FOXNEWS manipulation of the truth...this is DAMAGING!!!
