Innocence By Virtue Of Ineptitude

Last month I posted about Samir Azzouz, the acquitted Dutch terrorist.

There's more to the story.

A Dutch appeals court said on Friday it was convinced of the terrorist intent of a teenager accused of planning to bomb government buildings, a nuclear reactor and perhaps an El Al plane, but upheld his acquittal as he had not gone far enough with his plot.I guess the police should have let him get to the point of being able to actually blow people up so they could make the charges stick!? And we have judges who like to base their decisions on other countries ' laws!?

The arrest last year of Samir Azzouz, 19, sparked a national security alert. Authorities found machine-gun ammunition, a bullet-proof vest, two mock explosive devices, a silencer, maps and sketches of potential target buildings at his home."The defendant tried to make an explosive. In that respect, there is no doubt about the full extent of the terrorist intensions of the accused," the court said in its ruling."But what he had done to prepare an attack ... was in such an early stage and so crude and primitive that it posed no real threat within the foreseeable future
Azzouz, the son of Moroccan immigrants, was acquitted in April of accusations he had planned to attack a Dutch nuclear reactor. His lawyer, Victor Koppe, has said he is also not guilty of the latest allegations reported by the television program Nova. Prosecution spokesmen could not immediately be contacted Friday to confirm the authenticity of the Nova report. Nova said it had seen a police dossier of evidence against Azzouz, including reports from intelligence agencies and a video Azzouz allegedly recorded for his family and friends before an attack in which he expected to die.

Obviously, intent counts for nothing in the Netherlands. I guess if you're too stupid or inept to carry out your crime successfully, that equates to innocence for the Dutch.This is one of the saddest decisions to ever have come out of a pathetic excuse for a court of law.

To Whom Do We Give Thanks?

Because of holiday family get togethers and the fact that I am recovering from a head cold, I will be brief today. Happy Thanksgiving to you all and remember it is the Good Lord to whom we are giving thanks. I can't believe the ACLU has not attacked this holiday. I wonder if they think they are supposed to be expressing gratitude to Roger Baldwin?

Can't you see them all sitting around the dining room table, holding hands, while one leads in giving thanks?

"In the spirit of socialism we join today in giving thanks to our founder and inspiration Roger Baldwin. Roger, thanks for all the benefits you have bestowed. Thanks for protecting child porn and no prayer in school. Thanks for destroying the pledge of allegiance and Christian symbols throughout the year but especially at Christmas. Thanks for the removal of the Ten Commandments from institutions of law and justice. Thanks for Michael Newdow and Anthony Romero. Because of you, Roger, we give thanks for the good things you have left us. Thanks, Roger, thanks for.....nothin'."

Happy Thanksgiving all, despite the ACLU we still have much to be grateful for!

Hot Strip Club Deemed Unsafe

Every so often, I think God gets exasperated with us and just wants us to be still and know that He is God. At those moments justice, is swift.

This from Ananova.

A strip club owner burned his club to the ground while trying to prove it was fire-proof to health and safety inspectors.

Benedict Frank, owner of the Cabaret Club in Kienberg, Switzerland, started the blaze to show how fire-proof it was when he was visited by safety inspectors.

They had questioned whether his decorations were in accordance with fire safety rules, and he used his lighter to set fire to the paper ornaments in a bid to prove there was nothing to worry about.

But the fire quickly took off and spread throughout the club and the neighbouring restaurant - burning both establishments to the ground.

According to local police no one was hurt in the fire, but the damage amounts to more than £300,000.

Terrorist Apprehended Near The Border

The following is from an article in NewsMax.

An al-Qaida operative who was on the FBI's terrorist watch list was recently captured near the Mexican border, housed in a Texas jail and turned over to federal agents, Rep. John Culberson, R-Texas, said on Friday.

"A confirmed al-Qaida terrorist, an Iraqi national, was held in the Brewster County jail," Rep. Culberson told ABC Radio host Sean Hannity. "He was captured in Mexico. This was within the last six weeks. He was turned over to the FBI."

Rep. Culberson said the detainee had been living in Mexico for up to a year, where the terrorist "was taking careful notes on the movement of people, police officers, wildlife, etc."

What are we waiting for? Does it require a catastrophic event to get something done? Apparently so, in fact Representative Culberson summed it up quite nicely.

Rep. Culberson said news of al-Qaida's penetration of the U.S.'s southern border has him worried that the next terrorist plot could involve setting off simultaneous truck bombs in major urban centers.

"The day they blow us up," he predicted, "the border will be sealed tighter than the Berlin Wall and you'll have armed United States military forces" enforcing immigration laws.

Why is our government failing to do its job and why are we permitting them to get away with it? I continue to ask this question as incident after incident goes unreported in most of the press, confirming a conspiracy of silence about the severity of our border problem. If the day comes that we are blown up because of our failure to secure the borders, the response of the public should be to demand punishment for those culpable from our own officials to the country through which they entered.

Sunday Funny

A surgeon, an engineer and an ACLU attorney were arguing about whose profession was the oldest. The surgeon said, "Remember how God removed a rib from Adam to create Eve? Obviously, that makes medicine the oldest profession."

The engineer shook his head, "But before that, in less than a week, God created the heavens and the earth from chaos. You have to admit that was a remarkable feat of engineering and it makes engineering an older profession than medicine."

The ACLU lawyer smirked, and said, "And, who do you think created the chaos?"

Jewish Exodus From France

French Jews are fleeing a wave of anti-Semitism and moving to Israel, the United States, and Canada.

Is it any wonder that the Jewish community in France may be feeling uncomfortable? Incidents of Anti-Semitism have been on the increase and now,with the outbreak of Muslim violence throughout the country, the handwriting is on the wall. In some cases, literally, where acts of desecration of Jewish monuments and temples have occurred.

The French have been in denial about all of this, Jacques Chirac telling a Jewish editor, "stop saying there is anti-Semitism in France. There is no anti-Semitism in France." Just as the recent riots are the result of a “profound malaise” and not the criminal mischief of Muslims, Chirac continues to play the perfect Frenchman in denial. Even the recent burning of churches during the riots has done nothing to slap Jacques back to reality.

First they came for the Jews, then the Catholics and Protestants and soon Chirac, it will be your turn. But don't worry it's only the Muslim malaise. Keep fiddling while Paris burns.

There is an interesting article at Canada.com regarding the French Jews and their latest exodus.

It's "Deppressing" In France Says Johnny

The riots in France have shocked poor Johnny Depp. "It's insane, that setting cars on fire is the new strike," says Johnny. "I went there to live because it seemed so simple. Now it's anything but. I don't know how they'll recover from this."

You are simple Depp, you and your little liberals pals who stir things up and then think because of your money, you can escape the consequences you are so willing to inflict on the rest of us.

Remember when you said the United States was a stupid, aggressive puppy and you wouldn't live here until the political climate changed. Has France become a big nasty poodle that can hurt little Johnny now also?

Don't even think about moving back here you moron. Iran might be a good spot for you and your family. Au Revoir!

Designer Sneakers For Criminal Activity

NY artist Judi Werthein has designed special high top sneakers for aiding illegal entry ino the US.

A map of the border area around Tijuana, Mexico, and the best routes to San Diego are printed on a removable insole. A compass and tiny flashlight are attached to the shoelaces.

The shoes she doesn't sell, she hands out to wannabe illegals in Tijuana as they prepare to break our nation's laws. Recently, she displayed the insole map to one group, telling them "This blue line is where you want to go. Good luck! You're all very courageous" .

Werthein came here legally from Argentina and this is how she thanks the country that welcomed her and made her successful. What a display of ingratitude by an enabler of criminal activity. There should be some way to deport her back to Argentina, then she can test her sneakers out if she wants to come back.

Christians Petition ACLU

The following is part of a release from the Christian Communication Network:

The Reverends Rob Schenck and Patrick J. Mahoney will visit ACLU headquarters tomorrow to hand-deliver more than 20,000 petitions demanding that the left-leaning liberal attack group back off of terrorizing communities and individuals who seek to affirm America's Judeo-Christian values.

Schenck, who heads up Faith and Action in the Nation's Capital, and Mahoney, director of the Christian Defense Coalition, asked their respective members to sign the statements after the ACLU sued a small rural school district in Adams County, Ohio, over four displays of the Ten Commandments in front of public schools there. The ACLU won an order for the Commandments to be removed, then demanded that the school reimburse them for legal expenses. After Christian ministers in the community stepped forward with a pledge to replace the money taken from the school budget, the ACLU settled for $80,000.

"The ACLU is this generation's Ku Klux Klan," said Rev. Rob Schenck. "They gallop into small towns with legal hoods over their heads and terrorize good people by threatening to harm children by draining the coffers of local schools if they so much as dare to recognize our nation's true heritage. These ACLU bullies are nothing more than psychological terrorists."

I wish these people well but, I don't believe the ACLU will do anything except derive devilish glee from the fact its persecution is working. They despise Judeo-Christian beliefs and values and that is partly the reason for the assault on religion.

I do, however, enjoy the analogy of the Klan and the legal hoods. What an apt portrayal of the legal intimidation used by the ACLU to get its way. No wonder they are so protective of the rights of terrorists, its professional courtesy.

It's time to rise up and strike down the American Civil Liberties Klan.

Habla Gardening?

From Bakersfield California comes this story about a man who's getting grief for running an ad advertising his gardening business. The ad says, "having problems communicating with your current gardener?--Talk to us, we're English speaking".

Some Hispanics are calling the add racist.“You know, it sounds very racist to me. It just opens up a can of worms,”said Lou Gomez, the President of the Hispanic Chamber of commerce. Now, that is an ill thought out statement in the first place. Opening a can of worms would probably be an excellent gardening tool but, let's get back to the matter at hand.

At the worst, this may not be politically correct but, it certainly isn't racist. If communicating in English is an asset to the service being sold then this man has every right to advertise it. If it isn't, then he's wasted his money which is a punishment in itself.

Every rational person knows this racial and ethnic sensitivity crap has gotten way out of hand.

Meanwhile, Up North

With the permission of Val over at Babalu Blog. I am crossposting this. It was so outrageous, I wanted to give it coverage because it needs to be read by as many people as possible. At least, all the nuts are not confined to the states.

I received the following letter from George of the Real Cuba sent to him by Canadian reader David M:

George,

This is absolutely unbelievable. The area comprising the City of Vancouver, Canada's third largest metropolitan area, is holding municipal elections on Saturday Nov 19. If you are a Canadian citizen living in Vancouver, and want to help defeat Castroists who help the tyrant humiliate and enslave our Cuban brothers and sisters, please read on.... One of the City's current council members, Tim Louis, is a staunch Castro supporter.

He has a portrait of Ernesto Guevara ("Che", who, as George has shown The Real Cuba's readers, was a mass murderer at the service of Castro) engraved on his wheelchair. He repeatedly appears at meetings in solidarity with Castro's murderous regime. You can see that for yourself by checking this link out:

http://www.workingtv.com/freethecuban5.html

Of the insane policies he's proposed, the most farfetched one must be the latest : to create a brothel, funded by the city's tax payers, to employ the city's dug addicted prostitutes. Did his friends Fidel or Hugo give him this idea? This is absolutely outrageous. More can be read by clicking on the below link:

vancouver_candidate_wants_city_owned_brothel/

Also, in the latest issue of a Vancouver newsletter called the Westender, he was asked a question, and gave the below answer:

Q: If you were all-powerful for a day and could change one thing about Vancouver, what would it be?

A: After replacing the city's current coat of arms with a portrait of Che Guevara, I would make public transit free... and build one thousand units of social housing per annum.

I don't have a link to show the above Q&A, but I will be happy to provide you with a scanned copy of the newsletter if you or your readers would like to see this.

George, PLEASE help spread the word, no Cuban-friendly Canadian living in Vancouver wants to surrender a council seat to the supporter of jailers and torturers of 11.5 million innocent Cubans living on the island.

Thanks for your help. Regards, David M.

I know Babalú has many Canadian readers that totally agree with David M. Please help spread the word to keep Tim Louis, a sorry excuse for a human being, out of Vancouver's City Council.

Thanks again to Val at Babalu Blog, a site I encourage everyone to visit often. If he's not on your blogroll, add him.

Clinton Advises Israel, Don't Worry, Be Happy

According to NewsMax, Bill Clinton urged Israelis over the weekend not to overreact to comments by newly elected Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad recommending that Israel be "wiped off the map."

What would Slick Willie consider an overreaction? He thinks we overreacted to turning the oval office into his personal intern proving grounds.

Speaking at the King David Hotel in Jerusalem on Saturday, Clinton acknowledged that the remark was "outrageous," but he cautioned that the Iranian leader was "not elected because of his hatred for Israel or the West."

"He was elected because of the economic distress of ordinary Iranians, and which he promised to relieve by giving them financial assistance," Clinton explained, according to the Jerusalem Post.

Wait a minute, wasn't economic distress and anti-Semitism what helped launch Hitler into power in Germany?

He warned Israel not to act unilaterally when reacting to terrorist threats, saying that "true peace and security can only come through principled compromise."

I hate to use the same analogy but this sounds a lot like Chamberlain's sellout of Czechoslovakia. In fact to quote Neville," I believe it is peace for our time... Go home and get a nice quiet sleep."

Sure, Bubba, that's some fine advice. Your idea of foreign affairs is committing adultery with women from other nations.

What's Up, John?

Sticks And Stones Part II

Here's an update on my post from last week regarding Hugo Chavez and Vicente Fox. Things are heating up!

On Wednesday, Chávez accused Fox of acting like a ‘‘puppy” of the United States for supporting the U.S.-backed Free Trade Area of the Americas during the Americas Summit in Argentina last week.

The Mexican government said Friday that Venezuela must give a satisfactory explanation for President Hugo Chávez’ biting criticism of his Mexican counterpart, Vicente Fox,or it will take ‘‘appropriate steps.”

“President Fox left bleeding from his wound,” Mr. Chavez said Sunday during his weekly radio and TV show, where he recalled a folk song from Venezuela's cattle-raising plains about a thorn, saying it seems appropriate for Mr. Fox since “you're a man of horses.” After reciting the lyrics, Mr. Chavez said: “Don't mess with me, sir, because you'll come out pricked.”

Mexico responded by saying a failure to apologize would force it to “ask for the immediate withdrawal of Venezuela's ambassador and a recall of the Mexican ambassador in that country.”

In God We Trust , The Battle Begins

Michael Newdow, favorite godless son of the ACLU, is making trouble again. He spoke to them on Saturday, this from the ACLU Oklahoma website:

The ACLU of Oklahoma Foundation will host its annual Bill of Rights Celebration on Saturday, November 12 at the Clarion Meridian Convention Center, 737 S. Meridian Avenue in Oklahoma City. This year’s keynote speaker will be Michael Newdow, an emergency room physician with a law degree who objected to the words “under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance and took a case against their inclusion in the Pledge to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Then, on Sunday, Newdow announced that he planned to file a federal lawsuit this week asking for the removal of the national motto, "In God We Trust," from U.S. coins and dollar bills. He claims it's an unconstitutional endorsement of religion and "excludes people who don't believe in God."

Newdow says his opponents "want to get their religious views in our government".
How, may I ask is that any different than what he is doing? He is forcing his view of religion on a majority that has a very different opinion. This country has religious roots and the majority of Americans have no problem recognizing them. Once again, tyranny by the minority is on the march.

The Crowning Insult

Al-Qaeda has called the Queen of England “one of the severest enemies of Islam” in a video message justifying the July bombings in London.

In the video, Ayman al- Zawahiri, second-in-command to Osama Bin Laden, says the Queen is ultimately responsible for Britain’s “crusader laws” and denounces her as an enemy of Muslims. They also seemed perturbed that Elizabeth is head of the Church of England.

Remember Charles, telling us how we misunderstand Muslims? He scolded the West regarding its "unthinkable prejudices" about Islam and its customs and laws. Well Charles, they want your momma's head now. This is what appeasement gets you.

Thank God for Tony Blair.

Ambulance Chasers Of The ACLU

Here is a perfect example of the ACLU trawling the seas looking for legal action fish to put in its basket. There is no plaintiff so they are chumming the waters to find one.

This whole exercise is due to a program that requires drivers, pulled over for crimes such as reckless driving or excessive speeding, to ink their thumbprint on a ticket or face jail.

Director Dawn Wyland contacted anti Sheriff Arpaio groups to find someone who’s been would make a good candidate to sue. In other words, no DUIs.

Is there a shortage of litigation? Have these legal hacks nothing better to do than further clog our courtrooms with their incessant braying about feigned rights abuse?

Obviously, they have it in for Sheriff Arpaio who said, the ACLU "sues me every time I go to the toilet." There is a positive side though. "Every time they go after me," Arpaio said Thursday, "my polls go up."

You have to wonder how many people are in favor of protecting the "right" to drive recklessly and/or at excessive speed. Of course, that is the means by which the ACLU is trying to drive this nation to ruin.

The following quote is from an article in the East Valley Tribune.

"We have drafted a memo on the points of law that show clear constitutional and statutory violations under Joe’s new fingerprint policy," wrote director Dawn Wyland in an e-mail to an anti-Arpaio group. "We are now looking for a plaintiff so we may bring a case and stop the abuse."

Stealing The Season

Graham Gets Romero's Goat

From the Detroit Free Press.

The Senate voted Thursday to bar terror suspects being held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, from challenging their captivity in federal courts, a move that seeks to reverse a landmark Supreme Court decision and heightens the debate about what to do with prisoners captured in the war on terror.

In a 49-42 vote that broke largely along party lines, the Senate adopted an amendment proposed by Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., on the defense authorization bill that would strip prisoners at Guantanamo of their right to file habeas corpus petitions in federal courts.

"We're going back to a model that's worked for over 200 years -- that prisoners in a war should not be able to go into court and sue the people that are fighting the war," said Graham, a former military judge.

Anthony Romero, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union, called the vote "disgraceful."

"The American military indefinitely detains individuals -- and tortures some of them -- and the Senate votes to strip them of their rights," Romero said.

"It's unbelievable."

The ACLU is unhappy because the legislature is making the law instead of their judicial jackals. What's "unbelievable" is the ACLU's efforts to sabotage this nation's war effort by every means they can muster.

You cannot unleash the dogs of war and still keep choke collars about their necks. The enemy needs to realize we will use any and all means to win this conflict and we will not hamstring ourselves with the pathetic protestations of the ACLU. My concerns are only for the safety and security of America, its citizens and their property and for our allies. One must assume from the actions and statements of Romero and the ACLU that their sympathies are elsewhere.

Thanks to Senator Graham and the others who voted some common sense into what often seems to be governing by the Keystone Kops. Now, let's really piss off the ACLU and make this law.
