Mightily busy week indeed.

For me and for most of the nation it appears.

I have not had much time to read, let alone post this past couple of weeks, but did make time to read the news and listen to the radio when I could. And, I have nothing more profound to say than what has already been said by others and myself many times over. But, I would like everyone to watch these two videos and then read the article that will be linked after.

The Revolution Was

by Garet Garrett
There are those who still think they are holding the pass against a revolution that may be coming up the road. But they are gazing in the wrong direction. The revolution is behind them. It went by in the Night of Depression, singing songs to freedom.

There are those who have never ceased to say very earnestly, "Something is going to happen to the American form of government if we don't watch out." These were the innocent disarmers. Their trust was in words. They had forgotten their Aristotle. More than 2,000 years ago he wrote of what can happen within the form, when "one thing takes the place of another, so that the ancient laws will remain, while the power will be in the hands of those who have brought about revolution in the state."

Worse outwitted were those who kept trying to make sense of the New Deal from the point of view of all that was implicit in the American scheme, charging it therefore with contradiction, fallacy, economic ignorance, and general incompetence to govern.

But it could not be so embarrassed and all that line was wasted, because, in the first place, it never intended to make that kind of sense, and secondly, it took off from nothing that was implicit in the American scheme. It took off from a revolutionary base. The design was European. Regarded from the point of view of revolutionary technic it made perfect sense. Its meaning was revolutionary and it had no other. For what it meant to do it was from the beginning consistent in principle, resourceful, intelligent, masterly in workmanship, and it made not one mistake.

The test came in the first one hundred days.

Pay close attention to exactly what is happening now and just be prepared. Yes, nearly all of us are no where near ready, but this is like telling a pregnant woman that she needs to get ready for child birth.

If you live way back in the hills, good for you- if not preparations that include water & food (cached appropriately), clothing, footwear, packs to carry your goods when needed, dry powder, lead, and the tools to hurl it. Stuffs that barter and trade well, you know shiny things, are good too.

Call me an alarmist, call me sensible, call me Whose Paranoid but you make your own mind up- I made mine a long time ago...

74% speak Spanish at home

"Spanish was my first language and it's the language that my parents speak, so I just use it when I'm there. I don't even think about it," said Mariana Solis, a registered nurse who grew up in the Lower Valley. "And although I speak English, I sometimes feel more comfortable speaking Spanish. It's like going back home."
AND
Dennis Bixler-Márquez, a University of Texas at El Paso professor of multicultural education and the director of the Chicana/o Studies Program there, said he was not surprised to hear the numbers released by the census.

"Border communities like El Paso, by virtue of their proximity to the home land, will continue to have tremendous linguistic renewal," he said. "People here, even those who have been in the country various generations, will retain their language much more than the Hispanic populations formed in the interior of the United States."
I do not care what one speaks in his home or even his business- his choice. However, the first minute he demands ANY PUBLIC or GOVERNMENT DOCUMENT be also printed in ANY other language he should be shunned and his business ruined.

Oh, and as for you traitorous-asshat Bixler-Márquez, if your HOMELAND is South of the Rio Grande- then get out of my country.

Saudi: OK to kill owners of 'immoral' TV networks

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia - Saudi Arabia's top judiciary official has issued a religious decree saying it is permissible to kill the owners of satellite TV networks that broadcast immoral content.

The 79-year-old Sheik Saleh al-Lihedan said Thursday that satellite channels cause the "deviance of thousands of people."

Many of the most popular Arab satellite networks — which include channels showing music videos often denounced as obscene by Muslim conservatives — are owned by Saudi princes and well-connected Saudi businessmen. Al-Lihedan did not specify any particular channels.
Siddiqi,

You were saying?

WP

Nope, I disagree.



The saving of NOT one fucking Iraqi life was worth it.

If they want their freedom, let them get it on their own.

What should have happened was the destruction of the House of Saud.

UK’s first official sharia courts

Revealed: UK’s first official sharia courts

Abul Taher

ISLAMIC law has been officially adopted in Britain, with sharia courts given powers to rule on Muslim civil cases.

The government has quietly sanctioned the powers for sharia judges to rule on cases ranging from divorce and financial disputes to those involving domestic violence.

Rulings issued by a network of five sharia courts are enforceable with the full power of the judicial system, through the county courts or High Court.

Previously, the rulings of sharia courts in Britain could not be enforced, and depended on voluntary compliance among Muslims.

It has now emerged that sharia courts with these powers have been set up in London, Birmingham, Bradford and Manchester with the network’s headquarters in Nuneaton, Warwickshire. Two more courts are being planned for Glasgow and Edinburgh.

Sheikh Faiz-ul-Aqtab Siddiqi, whose Muslim Arbitration Tribunal runs the courts, said he had taken advantage of a clause in the Arbitration Act 1996.

Under the act, the sharia courts are classified as arbitration tribunals. The rulings of arbitration tribunals are binding in law, provided that both parties in the dispute agree to give it the power to rule on their case.

Siddiqi said: "We realised that under the Arbitration Act we can make rulings which can be enforced by county and high courts. The act allows disputes to be resolved using alternatives like tribunals. This method is called alternative dispute resolution, which for Muslims is what the sharia courts are."

The disclosure that Muslim courts have legal powers in Britain comes seven months after Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, was pilloried for suggesting that the establishment of sharia in the future "seems unavoidable" in Britain.
No Siddiqi, sharia law is the body of Islamic religious law, not arbitration, but then agian, you followers of the pedophile have never had a problem LYING to we INFIDELS, have you?

Go here to read all of the comments and post your own, as the Time's Online does not like me calling them a bunch of Spineless, Balless, Cowardly Fucking Limeys.

Add another SS company in these united States:

Originally found via Bane but linked article is at Kim du Toit which actually takes you to the Reason Hit&Run:
The Richland County, South Carolina Sheriff's Department (that's them above) just obtained an armored personnel carrier, complete with a belt-fed, .50-cal turreted machine gun. Sheriff Leon Lott has charmingly named the vehicle "The Peacemaker," and insists that using a caliber of ammunition that even the U.S. military is reluctant to use against human targets (it's generally reserved for use against armored vehicles) will "save lives."
Now, for us who ain't the "Only Ones", you can always get yourself a bolt gun and a good scope...

A Foreigner is still a Foreigner





Mr. Foreigner, I have already stated my reasons for not wanting her on the ticket for VP, and she is now playing with the big boys so insults do come hard and heavy, but the one thing she is, is an American lady. You, on the other hand- I have to ask, as I have asked before- just what are you?

Sept. 5 Is Jury Rights Day.

Sept. 5 Is Jury Rights Day. Do You Know Yours?

by Vin Suprynowicz

To grasp why the Bill of Rights leads off by barring Congress from “establishing” any religion, "or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," you must understand that in 18th century England there was no “separation of church and state.” The English monarch to this day includes in her title "Fidele Defensor" – Defender of the Faith. Which helps explains why even our right to a jury trial stems directly from this era.

In 1670, it was declared illegal to hold a religious gathering or preach a sermon in England which was not a “Church of England” sermon. Dissident churches, including the Quaker meeting houses, were closed.

Unable to get into his London meeting house, William Penn led a Quaker meeting in the street outside. He was arrested and put on trial on Sept. 5, 1670, 338 years ago this week.

The judges explained to the jury that preaching a nonconformist sermon was illegal, and Penn had been caught doing just that. They instructed the jury to convict.

The jury asked to be read the wording of the law Penn was said to have violated. The judges told them they didn’t need to read any stinking law, they were to “take the law as we give it to you” – an insufferably aristocratic phrase that’s cropping up a lot in our own courthouses, these days.

The jury said if they couldn’t see the law, they weren’t going to convict. In fact, God bless them, they unanimously acquitted William Penn, who was thus free to emigrate to America, where he subsequently got his picture on a box of oats, and presumably did some other stuff.

The judges were not pleased. They locked the jury in an upstairs room, telling them they’d get no food or water – they couldn’t even come down to use the outhouse – till they convicted.

The jury, led by one Edward Bushel, would not relent. Friends passed them jugs of water on poles. Eventually Bushel and a few others, sticking by their guns, were thrown in prison.
Mouse-click the title to read the rest, and then everyone thank Vin for "penning" another fine bit of history and eduction!

'Black hats' keep lookout for troublemakers

Identified by their black baseball caps emblazoned with a white star, squad members keep an eye on delegates they fear might cause a scene. The squad is empowered by the convention managers to take delegates' credentials and kick them off the convention floor -- a step one convention official said would be unprecedented.

Squad members have made "their presence known, to let all people know big brother's watching them," said a Republican official familiar with the squad who has been involved in the last 10 GOP conventions.

Convention spokesmen did not respond to requests for comment.

On Sarah Palin as choice for VP.

I like Mrs. Palin, and would even cast a vote for her for Governor of Texas, but it certainly seems that everyone, in their overwhelming desire for a "Buffy the NeoCon Slayer", is that they are forgetting the one most salient thing- and that is that "the office of the vice presidency is not worth a bucket of warm piss." (John Nance Garner, thirty-second Vice President of the United States 1933-41)
