Words to Live By

" If someone tells you he is going to kill you, take him seriously" the words of a Holocaust survivor. Clifford May has an outstanding column comparing Hitler's "Mein Kampf" to the recent speeches by Ahmadinejad, Iran's president. This the must read so far of tonight.

Call it Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's Mein Kampf moment.

Eighty years ago, Adolf Hitler published an autobiography-cum-manifesto. Its title translates as “My Struggle.” In it, Hitler talked of his desire for revenge against France, the German nation's need to control more land, and the means by which his National Socialist Party could gain power.
It also included, of course, a clear indication of his genocidal intentions against the Jews.
Last week, Iran's president echoed those themes. He talked about his “struggle” – the word translate into both Arabic and Persian as “jihad” -- his desire for revenge against America and the West, the Islamic nation's need to control more land, and the means by which his Militant Islamist movement could gain global power.
He also included his genocidal intention to wipe Israel “off the map.”



It is a shame that I learned of a true Hollywood good guy years later from a blogger in Iraq and not just any blogger from Mike Yon . The good guy is Bruce Willis who has been over there several times with his band on USO tours and is going to be performing at the "Deuce Four" ball, a good portion of those lost in Iraq were in the "Deuce Four" and there bravery and incredible discipline led to the securing of Mosul and the surounding areas intime for the election. If you have read Yon's dispatches, you know. They are back in the States and having a party to celebrate their heros fallen and alive. A Barnyard salute to them and Bruce Willis !

When I learned Bruce Willis was a Republican I was shocked. I also like Drew Carey and what he does for the troops.

I believe that we as Americans have taken a big bite out of the Hardee's Angus 1/2 beef burger, now we're realizing that we shouldn't have gotten the XL fries. We have allocated billions of dollars into the efforts of Afghanistan and in Iraq. Now, we are seeing the true intentions of Iran.

But, I think that Iran only has a a pair Kings, not knowing that we as Americans are holding a full house. What is that full house: the American heart. Once we silence the extreme liberal lies, we'll see that we have formidable enemies on the horizon. American unity brings victory: we've seen it everytime.

Yet, we have the ACLU who is just as terroristic as Iran itself. What the ACLU doesn't realize is that literally millions of lives are at stake with what may be today's Axis Powers (China, Iran, and Venezuela). What are we going to do?

William I think China is to smart to play ball with the Mullahs, we are better business partners and that is what the Chinese are interested in is business not war. I would remove them and add Sryia and our 4th Estate.

The Chinese take the total secular look of the atheists and socialists here, they outlaw all religion and especially Islam. China will take their money for sure but they do not trust them and wouldnot in my opinion ally with them even by proxy as they did the North Vietnamese.
