The United States Supreme Court has ruled that executing a man who rapes a child is unconstitutional. They believe that the “cruel and unusual” clause of the Constitution forbids such penalties because in relationship to the crime, the punishment would be disproportionate.
I agree that the punishment is disproportionate. Death is too lenient. Drawn and quartered comes closer to parity.

Cattle are dumb. I know this first hand having corralled more than a few in my youth. Bovine spook easily, and with little effort you can get a cow to run directly into the slaughterhouse.
Barack Obama may be part black, part white, and part cow.
While in Israel this week, President Bush was pitching to an audience of folk who have experienced terrorism firsthand, daily, for the last 50 years or so. Given the unfortunate history of Jews being sent to abattoirs at Auschwitz and other sunless spots, Bush decided to mention the failed foreign policy decisions that led to that human butchery.
Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along … We have an obligation, to call this what it is: the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history.
Without accusing anyone in particular, Bush made a statement of policy — a policy that preceded him by three other Presidents.
Obama took it personality and reacted with a level of youthful impetuousness normally reserved for a prom night grope.
Obama reacted from the gut, based on what he (and the rest of the country) know to be his major failings: a lack of foreign policy experience and immature decision skills. In a time where terrorists are willing to fly hijacked airplanes into skyscrapers, his paired weaknesses could cause voters to have second thoughts.
His reaction to Bush’s speech shows why.
If Obama had let the sleeping dog sleep, Bush’s comment might not have made the evening news. Obama instead reacted like a schoolyard boy being taunted about his ugly appearance (with those Dumbo-sized ears, I’m sure he had his share of childhood taunting). He protested that Bush was picking on him, and by proxy, all Democrats.
I invite you to reread Bush’s words. He could have be talking about pacifist leaders in Italy. He could have been talking about the soft-on-terrorism government in Spain. He could have been addressing Neville Chamberlain.
But Obama took it personally and showed himself to be an absolute knee biter in the process.
Take what you will about the wisdom (or lack thereof) of wasting breath talking to terrorists or state sponsors thereof. The lesson here is that on serious matters with geopolitical dynamics, Obama reacted. He didn’t pause to think. He didn’t evaluate his alternatives. He didn’t show maturity.
That, my friends is reason enough to vote against him.

Never trust a terrorist … especially if you are one.
Trust between violent extremist equals that between criminals, and by criminals I mean elected Republicans and Democrats. Anyone willing to kill large numbers of innocent bystanders of their own race/religion/party will undoubtedly kill anyone, including their alleged allies.
A second installment in the war between terrorists recently erupted. Ayman (rhymes with hymen) al-Zawahiri, Al Qaeda’s aging and enfeebled second banana, has once again denounced fellow Muslim terrorist. Ayman delivered an audio presentation dull enough to drive a man to suicide (perhaps this is how Al Qaeda is creating new bombers). In this presentation Ayman criticized Iran of discrediting Al Qaeda.
Isn’t that like Hillary accusing Barack of being liberal?
A rumor has spread that Israel was the mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks. It is normal for people with tightly wound turbans to accuse Israel of every atrocity, from eating small children to not recycling old copies of The Protocols. It is little wonder that someone, somewhere in the zany world of Islamofascism would yoke Israel with that particular crime. Delusional minds need to work constantly on conspiracy theories lest their tiny brains freeze-up.
This reassignment of blame for 9/11 offended Al Qaeda more than a pulled-pork sandwich, wrapped in a picture of Mohammad and served with a shot of tequila.
Seems that when is comes to mass murder, Al Qaeda doesn’t like others taking credit for their work. Ayman senses that Iran, through their efforts to stoke terrorism within Iraq, is competing for top honors in the kill-a-mom-for-Mohammad competition (the Taliban, the previous title holder, has been disqualified for lack of breathing contestants). Perhaps Ayman is feeling emasculated (which in his case is redundant) because Al Qaeda hasn’t conducted a significant strike against anyone in seven years while Iran is happily murdering thousands every week through their proxies Hezbollah and the mad-dog Mahdi Army.
Yep, jealously among genocidal maniacs. Humanity has risen to a new low.
Speaking of terrorists, Jimmy Carter was also in the news. While the Shiites were doing real damage through Hezbollah, Jimmy decided to visit the Sunni equivalent, Hamas (losers do tend to hang together). Despite requests not to interfer in foreign policy — a field for which Jimmy has proven inability — Carter traveled to meddle the Middle East. While the current administration (elected once more often than Carter was) avoids negotiating with any terrorist leaders — including Harry Reid — Carter diddled with Hamas ringleaders for photo ops and phony platitudes.
And with predictable results. Days after the visit, Hamas claimed that the post-presidential visitation was “a recognition of the legitimacy.”
This is odd use of the word ‘legitimate’. An illicit visit by an dethroned president to a terrorist organization is “a recognition of the legitimacy”? Hamas spokesman Taher Nuhu receives this years Political B.S. award, which is a major coup during an election year.
What I want to know is why Israel — who Hezbollah/Iran alleged orchestrated the 9/11 attacks and who have committed war against Hamas/Al-Qaeda — didn’t bomb Jimmy while he was sitting down with other terrorists leaders? Such a strike would have save everyone a lot of future grief.

Be wary of stupid people in large groups. They tend to be dangerous.
Just watch any session of Congress.
Today’s lunacy lesson revolves around a tiny film called Fitna. The video involves the Quran (or Koran for American journalists) and was produced by a non-Muslim. That combination alone is enough to ignite lethal agitation among zealots sans intelligence (if I may be redundant).
In this presentation, producer Geert Wilders simply shows verses from the Quran, then plays video of Islamists who obviously wound their turbans too tightly. For each of these select passages Wilders shows the verses being used as justification for abusing women, slavery and homicide. Wilders’ point appears to be that like many religions before, some people are using Islam to justify theological fascism.
You know, like the Roman church did by posting a copy of Deuteronomy in every inquisition waiting room.
Granted, Wilders put a prickly point on his presentation, using some of the more graphic (though edited) videos produced by Islamist for Fascism, Inc. (if you don’t like seeing a masked jihadist holding aloft a freshly severed caucasian head, then don’t watch Finta). Wilders’ selected footage is the best of their worst, or as I like to say “the cream of the crap.”
But at no place in the video does Wilders call Islam a bad name, defame Mohamed, or call for reverse jihad. He simply exposes people misusing religion as a means for their maniacal mission.
Tell that to the Islamist. Well try to tell them if you can get them to quit scream and burning effigies long enough to engage in thoughtful discussion (yes, I know — I’m pissin’ into the wind with that notion).
All too predictably, after the film hit the Internet violence erupted among Islamic hot heads (how can your head not be hot when you live in the desert and is wrap your head in turban — maybe they have simply baked their brains to the point of imbecility). “They call this freedom of expression, but it’s freedom of aggression,” said one over agitated ass. Failing to have watched the film or to dispassionately consider Wilders’ core message, he continued with the obligatory “God is great.”
Well, at least he got something right. I hope he joins one group that marched in protest of the film. They were wearing headbands that read “We are ready to sacrifice our lives for the sanctity of the prophet”.
That can be arranged.
What would be amusing were it not for the sadness of stupidity is that Radical Islamist have detached themselves from reality. Sane people who watch Wilders’ film will not think less of Islam. They would instead see an analysis of how dimwits with dictatorial dementia abuse the Prophet’s words to justify their temporal tantrums. Loons — like the leadership of Jamate-e-Islami — are Wilders target.
Likewise with my literary cross-hairs and Leupold scope.

Why would the Lord of all Creation advocate destruction? This is the point about Allah that Islamic suicide bombers missed.
