Lenin would have been proud of this man! He is surely the most useful of all the "Useful Idiots".

TEHRAN, July 22 (UPI) — A University of Illinois law professor says he has offered to represent Iran if it decides to sue the United States over threatened nuclear program sanctions.

He thinks its some sort of second amendment issue, like a nuke equates to a handgun. People like him will always find their own facts which are conveniently in sync with their core beliefs, which arise from a perverse hatred of one's own.

One more example of a Leftard siding with forces who symbolize everything the Left purports to despise -- violence, extreme religious intolerance, homophobia, oppression of women, oppression of minorities -- as long as those forces are anti-Western, or better still, anti-American.

These people have a serious pschological defect. I honestly think it had something to do with how they were treated as children.

And even if this scum chunk were successful in suing the US, who is going to enforce the decision? The UN? LOL.

In international legal terms, the Bush Jr. administration itself should now be viewed as constituting an ongoing criminal conspiracy under international criminal law in violation of the Nuremberg Charter, the Nuremberg Judgment, and the Nuremberg Principles, due to its formulation and undertaking of aggressive war policies that are legally akin to those perpetrated by the Nazi regime. As a consequence, American citizens possess the basic right under international law and the United States domestic law, including the U.S. Constitution, to engage in acts of non-violent civil resistance in order to prevent, impede, thwart, or terminate ongoing criminal activities perpetrated by U.S. government officials in their conduct of foreign affairs policies and military operations purported to relate to defense and counter-terrorism.

Remember it is Russia that has more than anyone set up Iran's nuclear program. As I have stated in the past, Russia is developing Iran as a sort of Rocket Korp to open up a new front in its perceived war on the west. As has been often stated, the doctrine of Mutually Assured Destruction works against the Russians but it does not work against the Islamic madmen in Iran who's idea of victory is losing a nuclear war and going to heaven.

They are the perfect allies in a nuclear war. They actually want to die.

I think the most likely scenario with Iranian nukes is that they will slip one into an American port city with the connivance of Venezuela.

Many think that these moonbats work their strange, anti-American cases for free. This is untrue. Various foundations and individuals pay these proxies huge money to spread their insanity and tie up the system.

My absolute fervent hope is that McCain wins, the Cuban government collapses, and we can then declassify from both the DGI records and the FBI records all the knowledge about Soviet-era subversion in the United States. I think there will be a lot of prominent leftist names on that list having accepted beaucoup rubles from Ivan to cause trouble and infiltrate the education system.

I hope Francis Boyle is prominent on that list. I hope to see somewhere notes Boyle wrote to his KGB/DGI buddies asking them for permission to wipe his own butt, or the blackmail tapes from Cuban jinitera/os become public.

Yes, to the likes of the Iranians, every child is a soldier, friend or enemy. That is something we in the West cannot get our heads around. Some of us, anyway.

Regarding the rocket threat from the bad guys, we and the Israelis are working on so-called Kinetic Energy Interceptors as the next generation of missile protection.

The difficulty, I would think, lies not in whether or not the decision would be enforced in the U.S., but the potential for enforcement in other countries, which could restrict the travel of our elected officials needing to travel for official business (or any business).

Goddess and I have disrupted the thread enough for the moment.

Another word on Kinetic Energy Interceptors.

'Kinetic energy' means they don't have explosive warheads. They destroy incoming missile by hitting it, relying on new advances in rocketry and targeting. The concept is to hit a hostile as soon as possible after it is launched when it is still going slowly. It must be hit before final stage separation in space. Only after final stage separation can a hostile missile deploy dummy warheads which complicate everything.

The KEI is launched as near as possible to the launch site of the target missile so it can hit the target when it is still vulnerable. The absolute best case scenario is to destroy a hostile missile so fast that it falls back down into its own country with its chemical, biological or nuclear payload.

UK charities funding terrorism in India

An umbrella organisation representing over 300 Hindu outfits in the UK on Sunday appealed to the government to probe into reports about British charities suspected of sending funds to terrorist groups in Pakistan that have been launching attacks against India.
....
Indian authorities have said the Indian Mujahideen, which claimed responsibility for the attacks, seems to be a front outfit for terrorist organisations operating out of Pakistan.

"India has been suffering from terror attacks by Islamic militants for many years. The Ahmedabad blasts that killed 45 people yesterday are not isolated. There have been several other blasts that have taken place recently in Jaipur, Bangalore and other places," HFB secretary general Ramesh Kallidai said.

"But what is of great concern to British Indians is that there have been several reports of British charities sending money to Pakistan that are being diverted to terrorism against India."

This link shows the Hall of Famers who will be there. Bob Feller is on the list.

"On December 8, 1941 Feller, enlisted in the Navy, volunteering immediately for combat service becoming the first Major League Baseball player to do so following the Attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7. Feller served as Gun Captain aboard the USS Alabama and missed four seasons during his service in World War II, being decorated with five campaign ribbons and eight battle stars."

This is like the James boys suing banks because they have safes.

I'm sure if we trace back these Lawyer's associations we will find ties to Lefist groups such as the National Lawyer's Guild.

re: #164 maddogg

OT
I've got the Weather Channel on all morning. All they talk about is the "incredible heat" which is occuring across the nation.

When I was a kid, it was normal for it to get hot in the middle of summer. 100 deg.F not unusual in the south, 110 not unusual in southern Cal. I went through Needles, Cal. once at 4:00 am and it was 112 degrees F.

What bullshit.

They're as taken in about gorebull warming as NewScientist.com

re: #168 Killgore Trout

I know. Global warming not a pupular theory in Anchorage this year. The crops may not make at all, especially fruit.

Just an outstanding find/link.

All so little Barry's birth certificate wouldn't be printed in Japanese. Poor little Barry. He could have been so MUCH more multi-cultural.

re: #129 right_on_target

Maybe if Obama, if elected, appoints him AG they will have.

I was thinking the exact same thing. If Obama is JFK, does this make Boyle Bobby Kennedy?

re: #170 rwmofo Well Ted Williams (RIP) also fought in WWII - as a fighter jock; he also fought in Korea in the same way: fighter pilot.
All told I think Ted missed something like 6 seasons when he was truly in his prime.

re: #129 right_on_target

Wouldn't that require congressional approval?

re: #51 JammieWearingFool

This dude is way out there.

Darn you forgot the scac tag so I cannot ding you up.
that would be like dinging up what you quoted.

Hardcore pacifist? Thinking more like hardcore anti-American. Pacifists don't hang out with non-pacifists. All those Quakers and peaceniks are really more concerned not about violence, but who the violence is directed at. Let's not use their language. It is like the pro-choice terminology. They are pro-abortion, not pro-choice. They are for violence directed against the U.S. not pacifists.

re: #143 RememberSekhmet?

Aaaand ladies and gentlemen, why did people abandon the pre-1922 "legalist" approach Boyle seems to advocate? I think it had something to do with this big, nasty war it failed to stop. Don't you?

Ya' think?

Feller missed 4 of his prime years in the service, probably depriving him of 80 or so wins and a possible World Series (or two) for the Cleveland Indians. Can you imagine A-Rod or Roger Clemens enlisting nowadays? Not bloody likely.

I've met Rapid Robert Feller before and I don't hesitate to say at all that he'd probably wring Obama's neck, even at 80+ years of age.

Men were men back then, today they're 'community organizers' and 'multiculturalists.' Too bad for us.

re: #176 realwest

Thanks, it's the best I could find on a slow news day. The Iranians had another round of fresh executions today. They did the very slow and painful hanging by construction crane thing again. I'm not looking forward to the videos but I'll post them when they pop up.

great, let the asshole waste his time at the "international court of justice".
and let him get an unenforceable decision that we will laugh at.

re: #154 bitsy

If Obama gets his way, the International Court will have jurisdiction over the US.

Obama introduced Senate bill 2433, the Global Poverty Act of 2007 which would commit the US to the UN Millennium Development Goals (res552, UN Millennium Declaration Sept 18,2000) which includes among other yummy initiatives:

9. We resolve therefore:

To strengthen respect for the rule of law in international as in national affairs and, in particular, to ensure compliance by Member States with the decisions of the International Court of Justice, in compliance with the Charter of the United Nations, in cases to which they are parties.

I guarantee you that George Soros had a hand in that.

re: #186 JSK1121
Please see my #179; Feller wasn't the only big leaguer to fight for America.
I'm sure there are some playing now who would do the same, but I'm hard pressed to name any.

re: #179 realwest

Well Ted Williams (RIP) also fought in WWII - as a fighter jock; he also fought in Korea in the same way: fighter pilot.
All told I think Ted missed something like 6 seasons when he was truly in his prime.

Ted Williams missed three seasons during WWII and two more during the Korean War and still hit 521 home runs (second only to Ruth and Foxx when he retired).

A trivia nugget about Williams: He won the Triple Crown in '42 and '47 but was NOT voted MVP those two years. Reporters voted on the award then. A little media bias maybe?

re: #147 Spiny Norman

Well, you're not trying to deceive anyone, so SockPuppy is OK, like Rugby the Rat.

I just using http://www.bugmenot.com/ to sign in (Charles just checking) but you have that covered.

oh great so US soldiers can be tried for war crimes, wonderful

re: #187 Killgore Trout
"They did the very slow and painful hanging by construction crane thing again." Just barbaric savages. No other truly accurate way to express it.
Why did they hang the guy do you know?
And if you don't mind, I won't be viewing those videos.

Can't we take someones citizenship away and ship them to the border (either one) and say - "Good luck with your new life asshole"?

Ted Williams was apparently pretty cold to reporters. Reporters still award the MVP to players, hence Albert Belle not winning it in 1995 when he was the only player to hit 50 homeruns and 50 doubles in the same season and the Indians went 100-41. Hard to give an MVP award to an alcoholic that runs over kids with his car on Halloween though.

re: #184 ploome hineni

this fellow needs a clue, and some comments

[Link: www.stltoday.com...]

The last two sentences are interesting.

Thus, contrary to what we might assume hearing American political rhetoric and news stories, Islam is proclaimed as a religion of peace by these Roman Catholic leaders. What the world needs is for Muslims to be more faithful to their religion, not less.

If his head is somewhat in the eccumenical clouds, that last sentence becomes a shocker.

re: #191 rwmofo Ah, lemme guess - Joe Dimaggio won it?
(although in fairness to him, one of those seasons was when he set his probably never to be broken record of hitting safely in 56 consecutive games).

If Boyle keeps this up he could be BHO's favorite for Attorney General.

re: #196 JSK1121

"Ted Williams was apparently pretty cold to reporters."

So he suffered fools lightly? The man was way ahead of his time wasn't he?

One more observation. He didn't win the MVP when he hit .406 in 1941.

Just one of the many reasons to vote for Sen. John McCain.

re: #195 bellamags
Well we can "strip someone of their citizenship" but I think only AFTER that someone has been found in a court of law of treason or fighting under another nations flag as a member of that other nation's
military.
NB: Constitutional Law is something I know a fair amount about, but not in this particular area.

re: #202 MandyManners

What kind of presidental candidate wants to give up soverignty to the blue helmets?

Is Obama running to be president of the world?

Yep. I'm not a Yankees fan (or Red Sox fan), but I get a kick out of telling Yankees fans that Williams was the best hitter ever. One of my hobbies is stirring it up and Yankees fans are easy targets.

re: #208 rwmofo Well, I'm a Yankees fan so go ahead and stir!

re: #200 ploome hineni

he has no clue what being more muslim means

he thinks islam is Christianity lite, ot some arab version of love your neighbor and turn the other cheek

he has not idea that defending agains the struggle to make islam supreme (jihad) justifies slaughtering your children, and raping your wife

(Know nothing more than what his website says about himself ...) I'm inclined to agree with you. It sounds like he thinks the mere asking -- be more faithful -- will make Muslims willingly pull back from their current beliefs.

re: #201 rwmofo

"Ted Williams was apparently pretty cold to reporters."

Oh, I'm not implying that most reporters aren't morons, because they are. Even more so today, then again, that can be said about pretty much any profession.

Ultimately, Ted Williams probably didn't win MVP because he was cold to reporters and never enjoyed the same sort of team success that guys like DiMaggio did.

re: #211 buzzsawmonkey But only provided he also LEAVES the US to head that World Federation thing.
That's non-negotiable.

re: #209 realwest

Well, I'm a Yankees fan so go ahead and stir!

I'm a Braves fan (since they moved to Atlanta when I was 9) but as much as I've always been an Aaron fan, my opinion is that Ruth was the best. Ruth had almost 4000 less at bats than Aaron.

Went to the new Obamaland at Coney Island the other day. Enjoyed the Fist-Bumper Cars, the Waffle Spin ride, and the Flip-Flopper, which claims it is the fastest roller coaster with the most turns now operating in the US.

Does the Flip-Flopper throw people under the cars?

You know, religious discussions can really drive wedges into friendships, and none seem more divisive than the religion of MLB. You would think, that on a blog like LGF, where we avoid such issues as religion and politics... uh, never mind.

re: #220 JSK1121

A-Rod chasing Madonna is aiming low - for him. This is kinda like John Lennon settling for Yoko Ono. YOKO ONO? Put the bong down, man.

Back to A-Rod. If you want to be married, DON'T SCREW AROUND.

I'm just sayin'.

re: #183 federale86

Lay off the Quakers. You lump them in with some unlikely companions.
They may be pacifist's but are not

They are pro-abortion, not pro-choice

Not pro-abortion. Where did you come up with that?
You equate Quakers with pacifism which is correct but Pro-abortion is way off the mark.

re: #194 realwest

It was the usuall stuff, drug trafficking, murder, rape. I think the was one person hung for public drunkenness. Not sure how many women were executed today.

re: #225 buzzsawmonkey

Yes, and very post-modern: it was designed by Rem Koolhaus.

I would have guessed that Obama smoked American Spirits. That's about the most patriotic gesture he can muster.

No...that's a separate ride called the Bus Bump where where you pay to get thrown under the bus.

Good afternoon, Lizards.

re: #223 buzzsawmonkey

I didn't see it when I was there, but there was a sign cautioning that the management could not guarantee you would finish the ride.

Does the Obama campaign management have the same signs at their recruiting sites?

Yes, and very post-modern: it was designed by Rem Koolhaus.

And I would bet he smokes menthols because it helped him in his campaigns in Chicago.

U.S. Citizens who have suffered religious intimidation by islamic mullahs
in the mosque of the U.S. where they preach hate of the U.S. and its citizens to include the killing of islamic children who talk to we evil
U.S. citizens.

File the class action aginst, "any and all islamic institutions, schools, mosque, and or charities".

Count me in!
Needs some fine tuning however.
