All That Is Necessary

Dept. Of Justice Completely Hopeless

The Department Of Justice has become a complete and utter joke.  The word "justice" should be stripped from the title because it does not exist in that department.  I found the latest hilarity by way of American Thinker. 

This is straight from the DOJ's website:

Deputy Attorney General James M. Cole Speaks at the Department’s Conference on Post 9/11 Discrimination

The speech is an amazing piece of politically correct drivel that panders to the muslim community, who have obviously been so persecuted since the 9/11 attacks.

Some highlights:

"Unfortunately, one of the many, tragic legacies of 9/11 has been an increase in prejudice, discrimination and hatred directed against persons of the Muslim and Sikh faiths and those who are, or who are mistakenly perceived to be, of Arab or South Asian descent.  Some have wrongly sought to blame the horror of 9/11 on Arab-American, Muslim American, Sikh-American and South Asian American communities.   It has led to attacks against places of worship and other hate crimes, to job discrimination, and to the tragic harassment of children in our schools."

Bull!  What has increased is the awareness of Americans that Islam is not our friend, nor is it a "religion of peace".  There has been no mass targeting of muslims in the USA, despite what CAIR says.

"In the aftermath of 9/11, the Civil Rights Division – led by then Assistant Attorney General Ralph Boyd, who will be addressing the conference shortly – established an initiative to combat discrimination occurring in misguided retaliation for the attack.  That initiative continues today."

Of course!  Instead of punishing the guilty and finding their supporters let's go after the people who think the attacks were a bad thing and prosecute them for "hate crimes".  Think I made that up?

"The Department has also taken strong action against hate crimes in the post 9/11 era.  Those crimes and the resulting prosecutions have taken place in nearly every part of the country."

Here's another:

"As just one example, to that end, I recently directed all components of the Department of Justice to re-evaluate their training efforts in a range of areas, from community outreach to national security, to make sure they reflect that sensitivity."

Care to guess what he ordered?  How about the removal of any reference to islam being connected to anything violent.

From another article in the The Daily Caller:

“I want to be perfectly clear about this: training materials that portray Islam as a religion of violence or with a tendency towards violence are wrong, they are offensive, and they are contrary to everything that this president, this attorney general and Department of Justice stands for,” Holton said Wednesday. “They will not be tolerated.”

Such training materials “pose a significant threat to national security, because they play into the false narrative propagated by terrorists that the United States is at war with Islam,” he added."

The speech was an act of dhimmitude of the highest order.  And this is our Department Of Justice.

Look at this statement again:

"training materials that portray Islam as a religion of violence or with a tendency towards violence are wrong"

How ignorant of daily events does a person have to be to make such a statement.  And these people "rule" us.

We are not allowed to see, hear or say anything that might be insulting to islam, in any way.  The terrorists win again.We ARE at war with islam.  The islamists know it, we don't.

(Of course, we haven't even touched on the DOJ's other areas of "hilarity".

Thought Experiment on Religion

Imagine one person standing on a street corner in NYC shouting out that he personally had talked to God and we must follow the following rules or we would be cursed forever:

    *His is the one true religion.  All others are false and you will be killed if you do not convert.

    *Cars are now forbidden.   Planes are forbidden.  These are the tools of the devil.

    *Medicine is now forbidden.  Do not try and delay God's judgment of death.

    *Electricity is also a tool of the devil.  It is now banned.

We would take the guy to a mental hospital and get him treatment.  He is obviously nuts.

However, a guy can receive the words of God from Gabriel in a middle-eastern cave, or hear voices from a burning bush in the desert and we call that a religion. 

No comparison you say?  Why not?  What is the difference.?  There is none.

One person spouting nonsense is a kook.  A billion people spouting the same nonsense and it is a religion.

Religion has two main purposes.  To control the population and try and explain stuff science has yet to figure out.

I am not saying there is nothing "more" out there.  There vary well might be.  I sure hope so, I don't know.  No one else knows either.  Not one person alive today, not any person who has ever lived, knows what happens after death or if there is a God.  The only people who can tell us are dead, and they ain't talking.  People who say they know for certain probably have another agenda going on behind their certainty.

OK, that should tick off some people.

I Agree - Abolish The TSA

I've seen various calls to simply get rid of the TSA.  I agree with this sentiment.  A recent article on the matter over at The American Spectator is entitled "Disband The TSA".

"In nearly a decade there is not a single report of a terrorist having been caught during the TSA screening process. No bombs have been discovered. No hijackings have been thwarted. For the TSA to claim it has made the nation's skies safer is as absurd as the rooster taking credit for the sun rising each morning. Observant passengers have caught more terrorist-wannabes than the 67,000 TSA employees."

Bad enough, but here is the nut of the problem as seen by the author:

"It is the TSA's premise that the 89-year old great-grandmother in a walker, the soccer team comprised of 11-year old girls, the two-year old toddler on the family vacation, the airline crewmember and the soldier traveling home from Iraq pose the same potential threat to airline safety as the Middle Eastern man traveling alone, without luggage, on a one-way First Class ticket that was purchased with cash. The TSA is fueled by political correctness run amuck. Its sole accomplishments to date have been establishing a sizable airport presence and humiliating passengers."

He is absolutely right.  The TSA is a joke and will remain a joke.

If I had the power the TSA would be abolished.  Airport security would be turned over the the airports and the airlines.  There would be no penalty for profiling.  I imagine good old competition would create new, effective ways to keep passengers safe without the idiocy of the TSA.

But, we all know that won't happen. 

Just as a reminder, we also ALL know who is the cause of ALL the hassles we have to endure now.  That would be muslims.  Oops, not politically correct, am I?

Janet Napolitano Is An Idiot

Read this headline:

Homeland chief warns against anti-Muslim backlash

After the horrific slaughter of unarmed soldiers BY A MUSLIM at Fort Hood what is the biggest risk according to Janet Napolitano?  Why, a backclash against all those innocent, peace-loving muslims in the U.S.

"The U.S. Homeland Security secretary says she is working to prevent a possible wave of anti-Muslim sentiment after the shootings at Fort Hood in Texas.

Janet Napolitano says her agency is working with groups across the United States to try to deflect any backlash against American Muslims following Thursday's rampage by Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, a Muslim who reportedly expressed growing dismay over the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan."

She said this while she was in Abu Dhabi.  Nice touch, that!

Hey, Janet, how about instead of worrying about some non-existent threat, you start worrying about the ACTUAL monsters in our midst?  That would be the Muslim monsters.  You know, the ones who actually kill innocent Americans here in the US!  You did such a great job on this Hasan monster.

I am sick of this coddling of the islamic community.  EVERY TIME there is an act of terror by a muslim, the first thing the government does is scream about a backlash against muslims and how all the real muslims are peaceful people.  Somehow, it is always OUR fault, not the muslims.  I DON'T BUY IT ANYMORE. 

It is their fault, not ours.  Islam is the problem, not the USA or our freedom.

How's that for politically incorrect?

UPDATE:  Thanks to the comment by "whatisleft", I found the following quote this weekend by General Casey on Meet The Press:

"Our diversity, not only in our Army, but in our country, is a strength. And as horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that’s worse."

What an asshole!!

Iran Is Terrified Of Us - Bwahahahahahahaha!

Saw this referenced over at AceOfSpades about our Iran/Nuke policy.  It appears we are going to do nothing and let them get the bomb.

Analysis: US making plans for Iran nuke strategy

"The Obama administration is quietly laying the groundwork for long-range strategy that could be used to contain a nuclear-equipped Iran and deter its leaders from using atomic weapons."

I love this next part:

"U.S. officials insist they are not resigned to a nuclear Iran and are pressing negotiations to prevent it from joining the world's nuclear club."

Right.  We have Iran running scared, don't we?  Contingency planning is one thing, but over the past year we have done nothing to dissuade Iran from getting the bomb.  Iran has done exactly what it wants, whenever it wants.  It wants the bomb, and will get it.  We won't stop them.  Once it gets the bomb, it will use it.  Or give it to a groups who will use it.

Don't waste your time reading the article.  It just repeats how the world is determined to deter Iran from building nuclear weapons, blah, blah, blah.  All words, no action.

Only one country might do something.  Israel.  And if Israel is going to do something it will have to be soon. 

How are your survival supplies coming along?
