Zombie: 9/11 Truth March at the Democratic National Convention
On the second day of the Democratic National Convention in Denver, a “truther” organization called We Are Change sponsored the “9/11 Truth March.” I didn’t expect more than a few dozen people to show up, but was surprised and a little disturbed at how large it turned out to be — the crowd numbered in the hundreds.

Zombie: The Democratic Convention Giant Puppet Parade
On Tuesday, a group called The Backbone Campaign sponsored a parade they call "Procession to the Future," but which is better known in journalistic circles as Giant Puppets!

Not everything that happens outside the Democratic National Convention fits into a “theme” of some sort. The following series of images were all taken within the space of two hours. Here's a more gut-level impression of what walking around Denver is like this week.

Zombie: Pro-Hillary March
On Tuesday, some Hillary Clinton die-hards held a march along the “designated parade route” from Denver’s Civic Center Park to the “free speech zone” at the Pepsi Center, where the convention is being held. Their goal: a last-ditch attempt to secure the nomination for Hillary.

CAIR Sabotaging Anti-Terror Training in Seattle

Sat, May 24, 2008 at 9:53:52 am PST

In Seattle, the Hamas-linked Council on American Islamic Relations is doing what it always does—sabotaging efforts to educate law enforcers about Islamic terrorism: Does course on Islam give law enforcers wrong idea?

And again, the Seattle Times quotes representatives of CAIR without a single word about their ties to terrorist groups or their status as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation Hamas funding trial.

Some local Muslim community members are upset about a training course for local law enforcement, saying it could promote stereotypes and ethnic and religious profiling.

The program, called “The Threat of Islamic Jihadists to the World” and conducted by a Miami-based company, began Thursday and continues today at the Port of Seattle. It is billed as providing insight into the formative phases of Islam, the religion’s different branches, radical Islam and how to respond to terrorist acts.

But Arsalan Bukhari, president of the Washington state chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), said the program appears to be linking an entire religion to terrorism.

“Most police officers don’t have a basic grounding in Islam, so before you teach them about Islam, how can you teach them about radical Islam?” he asked. “It just makes you nervous because when a law-enforcement person pulls someone over, when they see a Muslim person or someone who appears Muslim to them — all this information they just learned kicks in.”

Bukhari believes the need for police training on issues of profiling and bias was highlighted by an incident last summer in which the FBI launched an international search for two men who took photos below deck on a Washington state ferry. The FBI announced earlier this month that the men were tourists, not terrorists. Bukhari said law-enforcement agencies need to learn about Islam, but not just in the context of terrorism.

But Solomon Bradman, CEO of Security Solutions International, which is conducting the program, said, “I can’t take the responsibility of my course linking their religion to terrorism. I think their religion got linked to terrorism a long time ago.”

And the police chief of the Port of Seattle is embracing the terror-linked Saudi-funded front group.

Port Police Chief Colleen Wilson met with local CAIR representatives and offered to have them come in to do additional training. Bukhari said CAIR intends to do so.

How can so many law enforcement leaders be so ignorant of CAIR's true nature?

#7 zombie 5/24/08 9:57:55 am 0

OT (non-tech-heads please ignore this):

Anybody here know a thing or two about CSS styles for web pages?

I'm trying to figure out how to achieve the following effect, but have been unable to get it to work:

Within a single "link" (group of words that link to another page), I want some of the text to start as black and then change to red when "hovered" over, and ALSO some of the text to start as white yet also change to red when "hovered" over.

I can easily set it up to have a style for specifying the "active" "visited" and "hover" states of a link. That's no problem. But when I override the color of some of the words with some html code, it also overrides the "hover" state; and when I try to set up two different CSS link-styles, I can't get them to both work within the same link, no matter which way I configure it.

I can have one link be black-red and then immediately afterward another link be white-red, but the whole point is to have the effect be contained within a single link.

Is it even possible? And if so, how?

He's right you know. Cops should also be forced to do drugs, rob banks, sell drugs and be pimps. Without a basic grounding in those things, how can you teach them about arresting people who do drugs, rob banks etc etc?

Charles as someone who lives in western Washington all I can tell you is that Washington state is lawless. The cops are some of the worst and most PC cops in the country(which is a shame because my grandpa was a state patrolmen and they were once never like this). They do nothing when there are riots. Remember the riots in Seattle, the Ports in Olympia and the Evergreen State college. The anarchistic and college liberals rule this state.

Good sense dictates that I should have a companion, but most folks just talk too much, and I rather like being alone. I have my cell phone, I've left my probable route with my wife, and I carry so heavy that I'm prepared for just about anything ( an old habit). Besides, LIFE IS A RISK FACTOR.

Not all bites are dog bites, but all dog bites are dog bites. If you go to school to learn about dog bites, they are going to have to talk about the types of dogs that bite most often and bite the hardest.

So, if you are angry that they talk about your favorite type of dog so much at dog bite school, perhaps you should do something about how often your favorite type of dog bites? Perhaps you should encourage your favorite type of dog to get some better coping skills.

Don't expect dog bite school to teach too much about chihuahuas when they should be talking about pit bulls.

And don't expect the teacher to teach that we should ignore the rabid wolf growling in the corner

PC is fascism disguised as manner - said by some smart person

Actually, I was addressing the media's stunning collaboration with our enemies - islam. Their stunning silence of violent crimes committed here and abroad by these thugs and they report it once and it goes away. They also always excuse it as some mentally ill person or as la one loon. I would seriously like to see someone actually list all the attacks and thwarted attacks in this country by muslims listed somewhere where people could actually SEE the number of them. I think they would be surprised - and angry - at the number of them and how the MSM has buried them.

I am going to stick my neck out here and tentatively agree with you.
The culture has been over-feminized.
The first and most grievous error the Enlightened made was to lower physical standards in fire depts, police depts, and military academies in order to allow women to "pass" admission in significant numbers. Like any other form of affirmation action, it violates justice, but more importantly, it sends a message that the Feminine is at least as important as the Masculine in these particular jobs. This is not good.
