Happy Independence Day everyone!
Reading this reminds me of how much the Koran is truly what we are fighting against.

BREAKING NEWS: Former Sen. Jesse Helms of North Carolina died today, Independence Day. He was 86 years old. Known by the leftwing as Dr. No, his knowledge of Senate Rules was formidable and he was able to advance conservative agenda, and to obstruct liberal programs, in the hostile media environment of the 1980s. My condolences to his wife Dot, and his family and to the people of North Carolina. RIP.

Jesse Helms

All passed on the Forth.

Powerful stuff.

Rest in Glorious Peace, Senator Helm.

I think Robert's point #3 is a major one- Equality of rights before the law.

As a woman and an infidel, islam most certainly wouldn't treat me equally.

Happy Independence Day!

Spencer's is a fine reminder.

And "The Left" (including both militant feminists and trade unionists as prime examples) continue to not get it.

"I wouldn't want to create the impression that I wouldn't like the government of the United States to be Islamic sometime in the future." — CAIR's Ibrahim Hooper

Think again, Hoopie, ya' shit-slinging monkey.

Okay, you guys have been posting RIP Helms links so I'd like to be enlightened:

All I know about the guy is that he was one of those old "refuse-to-die" types with ultra-conservative views, and that he was "Senator No." That's about it.

Perhaps I posted this on the wrong thread, so I'll post it again:

What Being An American Means To Me-

When I look at the state of the world around me, I can only thank God for my American Liberties. That I can disagree with my government and not be sent to jail. That I can disagree as a woman with my father and not be murdered for dishonoring him. That I am entitled to be treated equally under the law as much as the next American. That I am guaranteed a defense in the court system with witnesses and protections. That I have as much opportunity as any other American based on my abilities and not a birth right. That I have freedom to Worship my Creator and not be forced to believe as the government would dictate to me. I am a free woman, I am an American, and I thank God for it today and every day.

Happy Independence Day!

Happy Fourth of July.
All of these freedoms some would happily turn away for tyranny. How is that progress?

After life, Liberty is the one fundamental right of man most important.

It is not equality...but liberty that must be preserved.

The Founders had it correct.

And a Happy Independence Day to you Mr. Spencer!
Thanks for writing that.

Where is the country that so scared Adm. Yamamoto? Where is the "terrible resolve"? I fear it is going to take an attack of horrific proportions to wake up the sleepers amongst us. That said we do have some people who get it. See the previous thread.

re: #18 pingjockey

In a way, I regret that we had to kill him. He was intelligent. He was a warrior.

re: #21 pre-Boomer Marine brat
Nope, he had spent time in D.C. as a Naval attache' and new that in 1939 the U.S. made something like 4 million cars, Japan made less than 400k and knew if the war dragged on Japan would lose.

OT: Is the NYT throwing Obama under the bus?

An excerpt (emphasis added):

The Barack Obama of the primary season used to brag that he would stand before interest groups and tell them tough truths. The new Mr. Obama tells evangelical Christians that he wants to expand President Bush’s policy of funneling public money for social spending to religious-based organizations — a policy that violates the separation of church and state and turns a government function into a charitable donation.

He says he would not allow those groups to discriminate in employment, as Mr. Bush did, which is nice. But the Constitution exists to protect democracy, no matter who is president and how good his intentions may be.

On top of these perplexing shifts in position, we find ourselves disagreeing powerfully with Mr. Obama on two other issues: the death penalty and gun control.

Mr. Obama endorsed the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the District of Columbia’s gun-control law. We knew he ascribed to the anti-gun-control groups’ misreading of the Constitution as implying an individual right to bear arms. But it was distressing to see him declare that the court provided a guide to “reasonable regulations enacted by local communities to keep their streets safe.”

What could be more reasonable than a city restricting handguns, or requiring that firearms be stored in ways that do not present a mortal threat to children?

Oh, I don't know. Making it legal for law-abiding citizens to carry as they would, so that criminals wouldn't know whether or not their proposed victim was a threat to them?

Go read the whole thing. It's an eye-opener.

Magnificent. An addendum:

What we must defend:

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

What we must defend it against:

We shall not mount on saddles, nor shall we gird swords nor bear any kind of arms nor carry them on our persons.

This is my feedback to them I submitted on their form.

You wouldn't have had the courage to put out a slimy attack like the obituary of Jesse Helms under the link "good-riddance" if it wasn't at the start of a 3 day holiday weekend. When the bosses get back in town hope they clean house and fire every one connected with this disgusting act. You are shameful for your treatment of the dead and for your abuse of the national holiday.

We need to make an issue of this. Even if the facts are right about his conduct this is still inexcusable to do on a day like today.

You and your assumptions can kiss my ass. Yes- I believe in God, yes I believe in evolution. They are not exclusive.

re: #28 littleO

"happy 4th"- I find this meaningless. It's a day on the calendar. Did you mean Happy Independence Day? Thanks, but you and your assumptions about my faith can still kiss my ass. Happy Independence Day to you too, though.

I love the Free American mentality. It's our greatest export, and we should keep on exporting it.

Thank you to all who made it possible. Damn you to all trying to take it down.

Unhappy it is, though, to reflect that a brother's sword has been sheathed in a brother's breast and that the once-happy and peaceful plains of America are either to be drenched with blood or inhabited by a race of slaves. Sad alternative! But can a virtuous man hesitate in his choice?

i feel this way too. i'm not going to do well in burqua. i'm not going to do well equated to 1/2 of a man.
isn't it astounding that so many leftist women refuse to see this danger.
it is almost laughable if it wasn't so ominous.

Regarding the above story, and it's four points:

Print it out. More than once. A copy to go under the refrigerator magnet. A copy to carry around in your wallet. A copy to keep in your car, for the eyes of an idle passenger. Copies to distribute, when the occasion arises. You can make that occasion arise.

-from Jihadwatch contributor Hugh Fitzgerald

Good advice I think.

Happy Independence Day everyone. Keep fighting the good fight.

re: #28 littleO

I'm not amused. Knock it off.

re: #28 littleO

What's your problem?

(Happy Fourth---and cut it out!)

Paul Green,
Excellent addendum. I hope you don't mind, but I posted this (with accreditation) on the JihadWatch site. Robert Spencer actually had a very good post on this at Human Events 2 days ago ([Link: www.humanevents.com...] so I'm a little suprised he left this one out.

Hey, Doogie, you marginally-airworthy charter flight to Riyadh is still in the hangar, waiting for you and your jackbooted goonsquad to head off into the great blue sky! I'm sure King Whatshisnuts over there has a nice, cool palace waiting for you as your reward for subverting the US Government.

Go on, the fuel is in the tanks, and your barely-capable pilot and burka-clad slave-girl attendants are waiting for you. Buh-bye, Doogie!

i gave a copy to a friend of mine. she still hasn't read it.
she doesn't want to have to re-adjust her thinking.

Never surrender.   Never submit.  Never be silenced.  Freedom and independence forever.

Long for a mantra, but still great.  Thank you Robert for reminding us today.  We live in a house strong and mighty, but wolves gather at the doors even now.

I think littleO's problem is that they somehow think that because I'm opposed to the discovery institute's agenda and support science in the science classrooms it must make me an atheist or hater of God.

I think their problem is you are very intelligent and very
knowledgeable. You've always been civil and helpful in all
our discussions.

re: #47 NonNativeTexan

Thank you- that means a lot to me. Sorry to lose my cool up thread, but I find it deeply offensive on littleO's part to feign shock I have belief in God and am thankful to Him for my blessings. In fact- I'm not sure if I've ever read a more personally offensive statement at LGF.

Wow. We may have a bus-measuring contest shortly! And I think that the NYT's is bigger--they are the arbiters of media elite respectability. It is the NYT that Justices Kennedy, Souter, Ginsburg, Stevens, and Breyer are attempting to woo, not Obama.

re: #28 littleO

Down-Ding. Wa-a-ay down. Take it from a confirmed agnostic--you don't speak for me when you mock the religion of others.

re: #24 Steffan

False alert. They jumped back on the bandwagon at the end. However, they avoided the Iraq issue where BHO is in the process of recanting and adopting McCain's position while trying to deny doing so. Maybe then they'll throw him off (but not under) the bus temporarily. Nonetheless one can be sure that they'll find some excuse to endorse him after the convention no matter what his positions happen to be at that time.

Happy Independence Day to you all!

Let the flame of Liberty never be extinguished - its the hope for the world and even if forces of darkness try their utmost to hide it, it will shine the brighter.

Don't forget - you've seen off the Soviet Union, and seen the Warsaw pact crumble into dust - you'll see the followers of the evil cult called ROP give up the fight as well.

Never doubt it!

No need to thank me, sir, though I appreciate it.  Sharmuta is a class act, smart, saavy, and not afraid to stand on her principles.  Those who snipe at her because they are not her equal are just cads, if we accept even that elevated a position.  I did nothing but stand in the line of folks who felt she was badly used, and I note you standing beside me.

Speaking of what we should be fighting for...(this is from Canada)...Ezra Levant just appeared on CTV, yes, and on the Fourth of July! (how appropriate). He was arguing against the State's recent apprehension of 2 children (the children were taken away from their parents because the parents are neo-nazis, and the neo-nazi scumbags had their seven year old wear a swastika to school...So Social Services stepped in and took the children away from the parents.) As Ezra remarked, no matter how much we may dislike neo-nazis; no matter how much we may disagree with their political opinions -- opinions which are offensive, vile and repugnant -- nevertheless, that does not warrant the State to take away the children...(again as Ezra notes, we're not living in Maoist China where parents must express the proper political opinions, or else.) Anyway, the interview was heated (there was another lawyer defending the right of the State to seize the kids.) Hope this segment will be on YouTube soon...

(the children were taken away from their parents because the parents are neo-nazis, and the neo-nazi scumbags had their seven year old wear a swastika to school...So Social Services stepped in and took the children away from the parents.)

But that's so counter-productive.  The kids can't see the ideology is wrong, they see that the state is a bully, which reinforces them then embracing the ideology!

Amen and Happy 4th to everyone! God bless America and stop those who try to divide us!
