       A LITTLE URINE WASHES OUT

       In case you haven't heard some US soldiers might have urinated on 
dead Taliban fighters. Hopefully they did it facing in the direction away 
from Mecca, as American soldiers have been ordered to do to avoid offending 
Muslims, and that the dead Taliban didn't have Korans in their pockets at 
the time or it'll be a holy war. Oh wait it already is a holy war.
       McCain, fresh from being saddened by the Communist attacks on Bain 
Capital, announced that he was saddened by the video and wanted the marines 
punished. Because having trials and routing that sort of thing through a 
military justice system rather than through the fiat of sad senators isn't 
how we do things anymore.
       Good news though, the Taliban have announced that the video will not 
prevent them from accepting our surrender anyway.
       Noted kleptomaniac and humanitarian Hamid Karzai denounced the video 
as "completely inhumane." Speaking of "Completely inhumane", there's 
Karzai's buddy Abdul Rab Rasoul Sayyaf. Abdul is the head of the Islamic 
Union who was a pal of Osama bin Laden and a mentor to Khalid Sheikh 
Mohammed.
       Here's some of his very "humane" handiwork. During the Afshar 
massacre, Sayyaf's Wahhabis, with Saudi funding, massacred Shiite men, 
women and children. But that is humane. Unlike urinating on a dead Taliban.
       The Taliban have also denounced it as inhumane.


         The Taliban initially indicated that the video would not undermine 
the push toward talks, saying that they saw it as just more evidence of what 
they said was American brutality and arrogance.
         “We strongly condemn the inhuman act of wild American soldiers, as 
ever, and consider this act in contradiction with all human and ethical 
norms,”
       But let's hear it from the Taliban what they consider "humane" 
behavior.
       "You must become so notorious for bad things that when you come into 
an area people will tremble in their sandals. Anyone can do beatings and 
starve people. I want your unit to find new ways of torture so terrible that 
the screams will frighten even crows from their nests and if the person 
survives he will never again have a night's sleep."

         Instead of just searching for criminals, the night patrols were 
instructed to seek out people watching videos, playing cards or, bizarrely, 
keeping caged birds. Men without long enough beards were to be arrested, as 
was any woman who dared venture outside her house. Even owning a kite became 
a criminal offence.
         "Basically any form of pleasure was outlawed," Mr Hassani said, 
"and if we found people doing any of these things we would beat them with 
staves soaked in water - like a knife cutting through meat - until the room 
ran with their blood or their spines snapped. Then we would leave them with 
no food or water in rooms filled with insects until they died.
         "We always tried to do different things: we would put some of them 
standing on their heads to sleep, hang others upside down with their legs 
tied together. We would stretch the arms out of others and nail them to 
posts like crucifixions.
         "Sometimes we would throw bread to them to make them crawl. Then I 
would write the report to our commanding officer so he could see how 
innovative we had been."
        Is there anything in there to make McCain "sad"? Anything to make 
Obama question negotiating with the Taliban? Don't count on it.
        Urine washes out but there are worse stains on the soul. Like 
sitting down at a table with filth like this and accepting medals from the 
moneymen funding the murder of Americans. Urine washes out. Evil doesn't.


       GOOD NEWS FOR PETA
        Americans can no longer afford to eat meat. Many can't even afford 
chicken. Hope and Change.
       TO KILL A MILITARY

       Defense spending still represents less than 5 percent of the country’s 
Gross Domestic Product. That is about half of what it was at the height of 
the Cold War. Obama is trying to push it back down to the 3 percent that it 
was under the Clinton administration.
       To put the numbers into perspective, the fastest growing part of the 
budget isn’t defense spending, it’s interest on the national debt. And the 
interest alone is expected to pass 3 percent of GDP by 2016. If Obama is 
reelected then by the end of his term the interest on the national debt will 
cost more than national defense will. We will not have a military capable of 
reacting to any threats against the United States, but at the least the bulk 
of those threats will be coming from debt collectors.
       Even while the Obama administration is making drastic cuts to the 
military, it has plowed more money into the welfare state than ever. 
Means-tested welfare spending increased to 910 billion dollars in 2011 
amounting to a 50 percent increase over Bush administration budgets. That’s 
200 billion dollars more than the Department of Defense budget.

       RON PAUL'S RED STATE
        Want proof that Ron Paul is the true uniter? Who else can help 
bring together Marxists to help cut America's defenses.
       Trevor Loudon has followed up my piece on Ron Paul's Soros Defense 
Plan with a look of some of the players to the DSA or the Democratic 
Socialists of America, which happens to be Barry Hussein's old party.

         The Project on Defense Alternatives coordinated the work of the 
Task Force. Carl Conetta drafted the main body of the Task Force report in 
ongoing consultation with Task Force members who “developed or digested 
proposals from the diverse sources cited in the report.” A sub-committee of 
the Task Force reviewed the final draft before publication. Conetta was 
assisted in overseeing the report by his Project on Defense Alternatives 
co-director and fellow Task Force member Charles Knight – a long time member 
of Democratic Socialists of America.

       ALWAYS BELIEVE THE GOVERNMENT AND THE MEDIA
       Jew Persecution Over Says Envoy
        Washington, March 27, 1933 (INS)

       Secretary of State Hull today was "greatly relieved" at the official 
report from the American embassy in Berlin that mistreatment of Jews in 
Germany had abated and the Hitler regime was doing its best to curb further 
persecution.
       The report: received at the state department over the week-end said 
physical mistreatment of Jews "may be considered virtually terminated."
       Secretary Hull immediately sent this reassuring information to 
leading American Jews and Jewish organizations who had complained of the 
alleged persecution of their religious brethren under Hitlerism.
       In his telegraph the secretary said the "feeling had been widespread 
in Germany that following a political readjustment as has recently taken 
place some time must elapse before a state of equilibrium could be 
re-established.
       "In the opinion of the embassy," he added, "such a stabilization 
appears to have been reached in the field of personal mistreatment and there 
are indications that in other phases the situation is improving."
       Nazi Drive on Jews Under Control Now: US Investigation Shows No 
Cause for Protest (AP)
        March 26, 1933
       "A reply has now been received indicating that whereas there was for 
a short time considerable physical mistreatment of Jews, this phase may be 
considered virtually terminated. There was also some picketing of Jewish 
merchandising stores and instances of professional discrimination.
       "These manifestations were viewed with serious concern by the German 
government. Hitler in his capacity as leader of the Nazi party issued an 
order calling upon his followers to maintain law and order, to avoid 
molesting foreigners, disrupting trade and to avoid the creation of 
potentially embarrassing international incidents."
       (from the Hull telegram)
       Sec. Hull Again Apologizes to Germany for "Insults"

       Washington March 17, 1937 (AP)
        A second protest by the German government against anti-Hitler 
remarks by Mayor LaGuardia of New York drew a fresh apology today from 
Secretary Hull.
       The German ambassador, Hans Luther, delivered the protest in a 55 
minute conversation with the secretary of state. He complained that 
LaGuardia insulted Hitler by declaring at an anti-Nazi rally in New York 
that Hitler was a "man without honor".
       Exodus of German Jews can't begin before 1939:  Estimate 5 to 10 
Years before Problem can be Liquidated
        July 24, 1938 (AP) - Washington. The flow of refugees which 
President Roosevelt and Secretary of State Hull are trying to set in motion 
from Germany cannot begin before the end of the year. A vast amount of 
preparation, political and financial, must be completed before German Jews 
can begin their exodus to the United States and other countries which have 
voiced their willingness to receive them. Officials say five to ten years 
will pass before the problem can be liquidated.




       OUT OF LINE
        In one of the odder election events so far, a Republican candidate 
who for all his flaws did have a track record of implementing a conservative 
program was demonized as a Communist on behalf of a man who had nothing 
resembling that track record, in defense of a company which benefited from 
tariffs and a pension bailout.
       But the word has come down the wire. If you hate Mitt Romney then 
you're a Communist. Like those well known members of Occupy Wall Street, 
Rick Perry and Newt Gingrich. So Gingrich came down to conservative talk 
radio, portions of which are heavily syndicated by a company owned by Bain 
Capital to make his apologies. Not that it will stop the establishment from 
baying for his blood a second time around.
       Gingrich was obviously out of line here. The last thing we want is a 
candidate who takes the fight aggressively to his opponent. What we want is 
a candidate who smiles a lot at the camera and waits for the media to do his 
work for him. But that won't work so well for Romney in the actual election 
where Obama has the national media sewn up. Sneering pieces in the National 
Review are not going to win the general election. Neither will declaring 
Bain Capital off limits. That might work on Bain Capital radio, it won't 
work at all in the media.
       Romney has the Republican establishment on his side in the 
primaries, but in a national election the establishment he faces is liberal. 
Which is why liberal Republicans can sweep through primaries but have a much 
tougher time in national elections. Standing for nothing is a good way to 
win party support, but a bad way to win national support.
       In an Olympics worthy display of acrobatic prowess, no lesser 
conservative stalwart than John McCain declared that attacks on Bain Capital 
were right up there with Communism. "These attacks on, quote, Bain Capital 
is really kind of anathema to everything that we believe in. We believe in 
job creation, and the record of Bain Captial is to take companies that would 
otherwise fail and restore them to some kind of viability, and sometimes 
that doesn't work, but, you know, when it always works is a thing called 
communism, where you keep everybody in business."
       Which just goes to show you that McCain is a Communist because back 
in 2008 he was leveling withering attacks against Romney's Bain tenure. But 
the authentic conservatives like Romney and McCain have spoken. We will 
speak of Bain Capital no more, until we're all defending Romney on it in a 
few months.



       HEZBOLLAH NOW OPERATING IN THAILAND
       Thai police were on Friday questioning a Lebanese man with alleged 
links to Hezbollah militants as the U.S. Embassy warned of a “real and 
credible” threat of a terrorist attack against American citizens in Bangkok.



       FINDING MODERATE MUSLIMS
        What were viewers willing to endure rather than experience the 
Shiite version of the Jersey Shore? They tuned in to National Geographic’s 
“Alaska State Troopers,” Tru TV’s “Lizard Lick Towing” and Animal Planet’s 
“Finding Bigfoot,” but you couldn’t get them to watch “All-American Muslim.” 
Which just goes to show that we’re a nation of Islamophobes. Or that even 
people with bad taste in television have standards.
       The dirty little liberal secret is that progressives don’t watch 
“All-American Muslim” either. The show only exists as an Islamophobia 
talking point. Every time an advertiser drops it in favor of “Finding 
Bigfoot,” the progressives crow that once again they have proven that we are 
a nation that hates Muslims and loves Bigfoot.
       All-American Muslim’s hopeless ratings suggest that Americans are 
more confident of finding Bigfoot than of finding those even more imaginary 
creatures: moderate Muslims who reject terrorism of all kinds. They 
certainly aren’t to be found on “All-American Muslim” where the guest Imams 
have been far less peaceful than Bigfoot who in all his decades of appearing 
in grainy videos has not been known to curse infidels or support terrorist 
groups.
       See the rest of the article on All-America Muslim's swan song at 
Front Page Magazine.
       ARMS RACE BETWEEN EGYPTIAN ISLAMISTS AND BEAUTY SALONS CONTINUES

       Story 1: Self-proclaimed "morality police" in Egypt found themselves 
on the receiving end of a beating themselves when they threatened women at a 
beauty salon.
       Witnesses said the ultra-conservative vigilante gang, members of the 
strict Salafi sect who consider themselves "morality police" inspired by 
Saudi Arabia's "Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of 
Vice," entered the beauty salon in Benha recently and ordered the women to 
cease their beauty treatments or face punishment, bikyamasr.com reported 
Monday.
       However, the men, who claimed they were enforcing Islamic law, were 
shocked when the women attacked them with their own canes and shoved them 
out onto the street,

       Story 2: The self-proclaimed Islamist “Morality Police” announced on 
its new official Facebook page that it has acquired 1,000 tazers to be 
distributed to volunteers who will promote “virtue” and combat “vice” in the 
Egyptian street.
       So after being beaten up by women in an Egyptian beauty salon, the 
courageous Salafist lions of Cairo are smuggling in tasers.
       FREE TRADE FOR COMMUNISM


         The only thing more striking than the $32,000 diamond-encrusted 
eyeglasses on display at the Baodao Optical department store here is the 
bronze statue of Chairman Mao that greets shoppers entering what is billed 
as the world’s largest eyeglass emporium.
         A bronze statue of Chairman Mao greets shoppers at a Baodao 
Optical store in Beijing. The store's owners are from Taiwan.
         That is because Baodao Optical’s owners are from Taiwan, the 
island whose governing party, the Kuomintang, fought a fierce — and losing — 
civil war against Mao’s Communist forces before fleeing the mainland in 1949 
with more than a million refugees. The rival governments have yet to sign a 
peace accord.
         But by choosing to display Mao’s likeness and his famous credo 
“Serve the People” so prominently, Baodao Optical reveals how far some 
Taiwanese businesses will go to romance a Chinese market
       First free trade helped convince the United States and the rest of 
the world to sell out Taiwan and back China. Now hundreds of thousands of 
Taiwanese with financial interests in China will help swing the vote over to 
the pro-China candidate moving along the inevitable process of China 
swallowing Taiwan.
       The Obama Administration is naturally against Tsai Ing-wen, the 
independence candidate.

         The Obama administration has warned that a victory by Tsai 
Ing-wen, the Taiwanese opposition leader, in the island’s January 
presidential election could raise tensions with China.
         “She left us with distinct doubts about whether she is both 
willing and able to continue the stability in cross-Strait relations the 
region has enjoyed in recent years,” the official told the Financial Times 
after Ms Tsai met with administration officials.
       Which is a euphemism for the slow surrender of Taiwanese 
sovereignty. Much like the Israeli peace process is a euphemism for 
dismantling the country and turning it over to Muslim terrorists.
       But the Foxconn Apple suicide factory will be shipping workers back 
to cast their votes "the right way". Which is about right for an election 
that hinges on free trade, or rather the version that allows China's 
combination of crony capitalism and slave labor to outcompete the rest of 
the world, including the United States and Taiwan.
       Lenin's famous line about the capitalists selling us the rope with 
which we will hang them shows he was a piker. Saudi Arabia, Russia and China 
are the ones selling us the rope with which we hang ourselves.

       DEMOCRACY WINS IN EGYPT

       The Muslim Brotherhood will control close to half the seats in the 
first Egyptian parliament. The more hardline Nour Party, which advocates the 
strict application of Islamic law, has emerged with 113 seats, or 23 
percent, putting Islamists of different stripes in control of more than two 
thirds of the chamber, according to the figures.
