Charles Johnson at Little Green Footballs has the new definition of terrorism, as defined by rogue nations and terrorists. Yep. You guessed it. Terrorism is what the Jews do to Palestinians. It is so frightenly predictable that I can not even laugh at their ignorance.

One reader felt the need to comment to Charles’s post.

Terror and violence are profitable business for USA. Americans own over 250 million guns in their homes, 2 million detainees in prisons in the land of the “Free”, one out of three women raped,high schoolshooting has become as popular as a football game,America is the largest exporter of arms,the Fed has toppled over 20 regimes worldwide.These are just few examples of America the leader of Democracy!

The same old litany of fuzzy logic, misapplication of statistics, misunderstanding of everything American: essentially, everything buffoons like Ted Rall and Noam Chomsky want the Arab Street to think about the United States. Congrats Noam and Ted, you have found Apt Pupils.

The most annoying part of the blather from Abdelmonem is the 2 million detainees blurb. We call them criminals, and the reason we have this many in jail is because we refuse to enforce absurd religious law. I guess if we did have the Sharia here, the number of prisoners (not detainees) would be smaller. When you are in the habit of routinely chopping off appendages (important ones, like heads) for high crimes like sexual preference, logic says that there would be fewer people in jail. Instead, they would be dead.

More bombing, less patience, and I am with Damian Penny. Saudi Arabia is the source of this problem.

One wonders if Mr. Addas would feel as free to post his banter in the Taliban controlled Afghanistan press, if it were directed against that regime. I think not.

How are we supposed to take these people seriously, other than to treat them as a serious threat?

White House Moves to Contain Political Damage From Enron Turmoil, or so says Jack Lynch, in this latest front page ‘newsitorial’ (Credit Jonah Goldberg for the term).

“President Bush directed the Treasury Department and other agencies today to study how to protect pension plans from debacles similar to the collapse of the Enron Corporation.

The move followed the Justice Department’s decision late Wednesday to form a special task force of prosecutors from across the country to conduct the inquiry into the giant energy company’s downfall. But it also appeared aimed in part at containing the political damage from the turmoil at Enron, which had strong ties to the Bush administration.”

Emphasis mine. Of course it ‘appeared’ to you that way. The same way Afghanistan ‘appeared’ to be a quagmire. The same way Bush ‘appears’ to be stupid. The same way it ‘appeared’ to you that Gore won the election.

I am too busy to comment more, but I look forward to more ‘balanced’ coverage from the NY Times on this issue.

I am currently working on a research project, and am asking for any information any of you might have. My project is examining the history of American Education in the Post WWII era, examining the impact of the GI Bill. I have a great deal of info already, but if there is one thing I have learned, it is that blog readers are an EXCEPTIONALLY powerful research asset. If anyone has anything that might appear relevant, please feel free to forward it to me via e-mail.

Damian Penny deconstructs Barry Zwicker’s assertion that the Osama video was faked.

Don’t forget, Mr. Zwicker. The Jews control the media. MORE PROOF, you noodlehead. For those who do not know, that last link is to the National Vanguard, aka the lunatic fringe.
