Texas Tells World Court To Piss Off

To their credit, they’re going to give that illegal alien gang rapist Jose Medellin the needle on August 5.

Mexico and the The Hague were in a snit because Medellin and about 50 other beasts were not given the chance to speak with a Mexican Consulate official, per the Vienna Convention. Whorehey Bush tried to order Texas to comply with the Hague. But Texas refused, and the case went to the Supreme Court, who luckily, ruled in favor of Texas.

But now that Medellin’s date with the needle is fast approaching, Rep. Howard Berman (D-CA) recently put forth legislation to deal with the Supreme Court’s ruling. Notice how it’s always the Democrats that want to protect vicious killers and kow tow to corrupt Third World countries? Also, do you notice how the Times is trying to generate sympathy for this Medellin beast by showing a huge picture of his elderly grandmother?

Anyway, moving along…Here’s a great bitchslapping of the World Court from an ordinary American.

July 17, 2008

The World Court, The Hague, Netherlands

Gentlemen of the Court:

We are in receipt of your ruling dated July 16, 2008, in which your deliberative body “ordered” the United States to stay the execution of five brutal killers from Mexico until their dossiers can be reviewed.

With all due respect, gentlemen, no authority on this planet is entitled to “order” the United States, or any of the several states, to do anything.

Unlike the limp-wrist wusses that have all but destroyed Europe, we Americans believe in the rule of law, the death penalty, and justice for vermin like Jose Medellin who is scheduled to vacate planet Earth on August 5, 2008.

Mr. Medellin is the sub-human thug who took part in the gang rape and murder of two teenage girls 15 years ago. Over the past fifteen years, his case has been reviewed and appealed several times.

US President George W. Bush mistakenly ordered the State of Texas to review Medellin’s case, following the World Court ruling of 2004.

This issue made it all the way to the he United States Supreme Court, where the final court of authority in these great United States overruled the president, clearing the way for the execution on August 5.

No further review, appeal, or stalling will be tolerated. Jose Medellin will be put to death by lethal injection, a procedure that involves approximately the same pain as one suffers when getting a flu shot.

Many American believe that Medellin should suffer at least slightly for the brutal disregard he had for the dignity and lives of those young girls fifteen years ago.

But, alas, liberalism has reared its ugly head stateside, and we are prohibited from allowing full justice to be exacted.

Because of humanitarian concerns, I have made a slight concession with regard to Jose Medellin.

Specifically, I have written President Bush and Texas Governor Perry and have “ordered” them to return Medellin’s remains to Mexico for further review.

There will be a nominal-handling fee collected from the authorities in Mexico before Medellin’s remains are released.

As always, we appreciate the input of the World Court on these matters. Your rulings are rich fodder for late-night comedians here.

Sincerely,

John W Lillpop

Senate Votes To Triple Spending For Africa

They’ve done this to give more money to programs for treating AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis.

The 80-16 vote committed America to spending up to $48 billion over the next five years for the most ambitious foreign public health program ever launched by the America.

The legislation would replace and expand the current $15 billion act that President Bush championed in a State of the Union address and Congress passed in 2003. That act expires at the end of September.

In a statement, Mr. Bush said that when the program was launched in 2003, about 50,000 people in sub-Saharan Africa were receiving anti-retroviral treatment for HIV/AIDS. Today, the program supports lifesaving anti-retroviral treatment for more than 1.7 million people around the world, he said. It also has supported treatment and prevention programs that have helped HIV-positive women give birth to nearly 200,000 infants who are HIV-free.

Uh, whatever happened to using good old DDT?

As for AIDS, what good will all that extra money do if those chronically tumescent men there refuse to either keep their pants zipped up, or wear condoms. Now lest you think that’s a gross generalization, keep in mind that Africa’s population has the highest growth rate in the world. What on earth is the logic of people living in awful conditions constantly having sex, passing on the AIDS virus, and then having more children when they can’t even care for the ones they already have?

Here’s one Irish writer’s very politically incorrect view of the situation in Africa.

The Blatant Lies About the Serbs

Now that Muslim Kosovo unilaterally declared its “independence” from Serbia, I think a small history lesson on what really happened is in order.

Arab Nazi Terrorist Kicks The Bucket

Arab terrorist mastermind, and founder of the Popular Liberation For Palestine George Habash recently died of a heart attack in Amman Jordan.

George Habash, founder of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a hard-line Marxist group that shocked the world with a campaign of airline hijackings and bombings in the late 1960s and early 1970s, died Saturday of a heart attack in Amman, Jordan. Although accounts varied, he was believed to be 82.

{snip}

Mr. Habash was best known as the Palestinian leader who adapted modern terrorist tactics as a weapon in the conflict with Israel. From the bombing of a Jerusalem supermarket in 1969 to the simultaneous hijacking of three Western airliners to Amman, Jordan, in September 1970, the Front stayed in the news with high-profile attacks that other Palestinian groups never seemed able to match.

“When we hijack a plane it has more effect than if we kill a hundred Israelis in battle,” he told the German magazine Der Stern in 1970. “For decades, world public opinion has been neither for nor against the Palestinians. It simply ignored us. At least the world is talking about us now.”

{snip}

Beginning with the hijacking of an Israeli El Al airliner in June 1968, the Front embarked on a series of bombings and hijackings of civilian targets. In 1969, it planted a bomb in a Jerusalem supermarket that killed two youths and wounded 20 others. Also that year, Mr. Habash took responsibility for blowing up Tapline, a pipeline owned by the Arab-American Oil Company that carried oil from Saudi Arabia to the Mediterranean.

The struggle of the Front, he said, was “not merely to free Palestine from the Zionists but also to free the Arab world from remnants” of Western colonial rule. All Arab revolutionaries, he said, “must be Marxist, because Marxism is the expression of the aspirations of the working class.”


Here’s more information
on Habash.

It’s really too bad when that he died in the comfort of his hospital bed, rather than being tortured, which would have been much more appropriate. But dead is dead, so I’m not complaining.

Mike Huckabee’s Pakistan Flub

Mike Huckabee had the following to say about the assassination of Benazir Bhutto in Pakistan:

Mike Huckabee strode out to the strains of “Right Now” by Van Halen and immediately addressed the Bhutto situation, expressing “our sincere concern and apologies for what has happened in Pakistan.”

[**UPDATE: The Huckabee campaign later clarified the last quote, telling CBS News: "Gov. Huckabee while speaking at a campaign event earlier this morning in Florida intended to extend his deepest sympathies to the people of Pakistan when he used the word 'apologies.' He is outraged and saddened by the attack and the loss of a world leader whose life he believes was a profile in courage."]

He said the assassination is a reminder that here in the US, we are lucky to vote “not with bullets but with ballots,” and said “I guess we are sometimes lulled into failing to appreciate the magnitude” of the democratic process.

Actually, I agree with the last paragraph. Most people do not possess the savagery required to have a one year old or a 15 year old blow themselves up in order to kill someone they disagree with.

But this part of his response is what bothers me:

…When asked what he thinks of the Musharraf government and how it has handled the security situation and aid from the US, he replied, “I think today is not the best day to comment on what the Musharraf government should or shouldn’t have done” though “we need a full accounting of that money.” He was also asked if today’s news highlights why the next President needs to have foreign policy, which he lacks. His reponse: “I think it’s more important to have the right principles for the American people.”

Wrong answer!

The world is a small, dangerous place. And our next President had better have foreign policy experience.

Ron Paul Blames The U.S. For Bhutto Assassinatioin

First off, anyone who blames America for the 9/11 attacks should not be occupying the White House. But Rep. Paul has not stopped with that.

He is now blaming the assassination of Benazir Bhutto on the U.S. foreign policy! (Via Little Green Footballs) Click on Rep. Paul’s picture to view the video.

Now let me get something straight here.

I don’t like the fact that Whore-hey Bushito refuses to close our borders. But does that mean I am going to blow myself up just to kill him along with other bystanders? No! And I think it’s safe to say that most people would not do so such a thing. As normal, civilized people living in a free country, we would contact our elected representatives and let them know that we want our existing immigration laws enforced. And when our elected representatives blow us of, we vote them out of office.

Unfortunately, that’s a concept that Ron Paul and the moosies can’t seem to grasp.

Opinion Journal Publishes Terrorist Taqiya

The terrorist in question is Kosovo’s “prime minister” Agim Ceku. He has declared that Kosovo will unilaterally declare it independence from Serbia.

We are taking very seriously our talks with Serbia and the “troika” of international diplomats from the U.S., Europe and Russia. But it is clear that discussion of status is a dead end: Serbia can’t accept that independence is inevitable; we know that independence is nothing but inevitable, and can’t be compromised on or delayed. Attitudes in Serbia and Kosovo are not going to change in a month or a year. We must be realistic, and we must be forward-looking.

Yeah right. And now here comes the veiled threat:

By the same token, any aggressive attempts by Serbia to hinder the current international process of resolution–say, by closing the border or imposing economic sanctions–will be damaging not just for Kosovo but also for Serbia and the region. When I met the Serbian team in Vienna last week, I said that the compromise we can make is in our attitude. Our instinct must be to talk and listen to Serbia, not to fear or criticize it. We hope that Serbia can also change its attitude.

Now just by reading this nauseating editorial, most people would never know about Ceku’s real background. For example, Ceku fought in the Croatian military in 1991, when they committed many atrocities against the Serbs.

You can read more about Ceku here and here.

Finally, Julia Gorin weighs in as well.

Whorehey Bush At It Again

President Bush has asked Congress for 500 million dollars to help Mexico fight its drug problem. This is only for the initial part of El Presidente’s program, which is expected to cost 1.4 billion dollars total.

Still one Democrat is not happy.

The anti-drug request earlier received a cautious reception from Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez of New Jersey, who chided the White House for not consulting Congress more on details of the plan.

‘DEVIL IN DETAILS’

“The devil will be in the details, and to this point, the details are scarce,” Menendez said. He said he would be concerned if there was too much of a focus on enforcement without broader measures such as economic initiatives aimed at addressing the roots of the drug trade.

What is it with the liberals and their mantra of root causes?!? Anyone who sells drugs (in essence poison) to other people deserves what he gets.

And frankly, none of this would even be our problem if we just closed our borders and enforced our existing immigration laws.

R.O.P. in India

The latest tantrum by the religion of the perpetually outraged occurred when a police officer dropped a Koran.

NEW DELHI: Two police posts were set on fire by thousands of agitated residents and students around Jamia Milia Islamia University on Saturday evening. The angry mob first set Jamia police post on fire and later targetted Sahinbagh police post in Sarita Vihar. About 40 people, including policemen, were injured in the violence.

Around two dozen police officers were injured in which four were reported to be critical. The incident happened after local residents in the area resisted police’s efforts to remove a patri market. In course of the encroachment removal drive, the Koran was reportedly dropped by a policeman, leading to tension. A local leader reportedly slapped a police officer.

Police had to use tear gas to disperse the angry mob. Around 3,000 people had collected around 6.30 pm and took out the police records from the Jamia police post and set them on fire before setting fire to the the post too. The SHO of the area Rajesh Sharma and additional SHO Akhilesh Singh were severely injured. The injured police officers were rushed to AIIMS, Holy Family and Apollo. Several vehicles including police jeeps were also set ablaze by the mob.

I’m just surprised they didn’t blame it on the EEEVIL JOOOS!

Dubai Buys A Portion of NASDAQ

At a time when we should be quarantining the Muslim world, and stopping all Muslim immigration to the U.S., and finding another source of energy to replace oil, how on earth could we allow a terror supporting country to buy a part of NASDAQ?

In a complex set of transactions, Dubai is moving to acquire 19.9 percent of the Nasdaq in New York, placing the Arab government in an ownership position of the key U.S. stock exchange and raising concerns in Congress.

As a result of the transaction, Dubai also will acquire 28 percent of the London Stock Exchange, one of the oldest and largest in the world.

The transaction is being made through Borse Dubai, a holding company 100-percent owned by the government of the Emirate of Dubai and controlled by Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, the head of the Dubai ruling family.

Naturally, the terrorist loving New York Times sees this deal as a good thing.

By buying into Nasdaq, Borse Dubai would gain expertise. For Nasdaq, the deal means that its chief executive, Robert Greifeld, can fulfill his goal of creating a more global stock market. He has failed to combine with the London exchange in the past, while the rival NYSE Group successfully merged with Euronext.

Borse Dubai’s chairman, Essa Kazim, said, “Our primary objective is to build a world class, growth-oriented exchange out of Dubai and to become the center for capital markets activities in the emerging markets.”

This needs to be stopped!
