Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.

MANIFESTO: Together facing the new totalitarianism Created by Mark Jefferson on March 1st, 2006 at 5:42 pm AST
After having overcome fascism, Nazism, and Stalinism, the world now faces a new totalitarian global threat: Islamism. We, writers, journalists, intellectuals, call for resistance to religious totalitarianism and for the promotion of freedom, equal opportunity and secular values for all. "
The Iranians also blundered in diplomatic talks by giving the British their own compass reference for the place where they said the 14 men and one woman had been seized. When Britain plotted these on a map and pointed out that the spot was in Iraq’s maritime area, the Iranians came up with a new set of coordinates, putting the seizure in their own waters.
Let us end with the Immortal Words of Rosie O'Donnell

Now some may think that getting the papers, rolling your own is a bit of trouble and in time I will opt to pay the State the extra money and give that up too.
Actually I am a tad bit lazier than that. I choose not to roll my own cigarettes instead I will use these.
BTW I can get loose cigarette (and it hasn't gone up) at the grocery store, 4 blocks from my house. I will have to buy the corn cob pipes on line but at a couple of bucks each when compared to $10 a carton increase guess what I am going to do when I finish this post.
More than 7,000 French Jews have signed a petition asking for political asylum in the United States because of anti-Semitism in France.
"Following the barbarous murder of a young Jew because he was Jewish, in the context of the rise in anti-Semitic acts committed by Islamic fundamentalists, numerous members of the community no longer feel safe in France," reads the petition, which was sent to the U.S. Congress. The reference was to Ilan Halimi, a 23-year-old Parisian Jew who was kidnapped and tortured to death last year by an anti-Semitic gang.
The petition asks Congress to enact a law according refugee status to French Jews. "We believe that the United States, known for its traditional welcome to those under threat in their native lands, must open its doors to us," the petition says.
French communal officials reacted with outrage. "This petition is bizarre, stupid and out of place," Haim Musicant, director of CRIF, the umbrella organization of secular French Jewish groups, told Israel's Ma'ariv newspaper. "I don't feel threatened in France, and the authorities are doing everything they can to protect the Jewish community. French Jews don't need this kind of petition."
Despite the denial of a problem by Haim Musicant, director of CRIF, other Jews do not agree as we can see in an article in the International Herald Tribune.
Mr. Barthel walks me through the school, which was built three years ago to what he calls ?new specifications for a new reality.?
?All of our windows are made with glass both bomb- and bullet-proof; there are security cameras in all the common rooms,? he says. ?You will also notice there is no sign outside of the school that could single it out as a Jewish place.?
[?] Mr. Barthel explains the buddy system instituted at the Benvenuti school for children both arriving and leaving the premises. The students must travel in a pack and are not allowed to wear visible skullcaps or Stars of David anywhere but inside the school. They are also discouraged from dressing in a manner that Mr. Barthel calls ?Shalala,? meaning that they asked to refrain from dressing in a style which in North American parlance might be termed ?Jappy.?
?The Diesel jeans, the tight bomber jackets, these things can also make them look like Jews,? he says. ?They must look more quiet now, for safety.?
Mr. Barthel is the father of two young children. Last year, his children?s school bus, belonging to a Jewish school in Epinay-sur-seine, a northern suburb of Paris, was set on fire. ?The bus was empty when it was attacked, but still,
nobody did anything about it, not the police, not the government.?
Jews are fleeing Europe in droves, in fear for their lives and property. Jews are constructing bomb-proof schools for their children, guarded by armed men. Bomb-proof schools. Bomb-proof schools
I have at time's been accused of dehumanizing terrorists. My contention is that I cannot be guilty of that, they themselves have done a far better job of that than I ever could.
I just read an email from a service I subscribe to called. IRIS Blog.
It got me thinking there are degrees of depravity, this has to an example of the very bottom, but maybe there is a level lower.
Insurgents in Iraq detonated an explosives-rigged vehicle with two children in the back seat after US soldiers let it through a Baghdad checkpoint over the weekend, a senior US military official said Tuesday.
The vehicle was stopped at the checkpoint but was allowed through when soldiers saw the children in the back, said Major General Michael Barbero of the Pentagon’s Joint Staff. "Children in the back seat lowered suspicion. We let it move through. They parked the vehicle, and the adults ran out and detonated it with the children in the back," Barbero said.
The general said it was the first time he had seen a report of insurgents using children in suicide bombings. But he said Al-Qaeda in Iraq is changing tactics in response to the tighter controls around the city. A US defense official said the incident occurred on Sunday in Baghdad’s Adhamiyah district, a mixed neighborhood adjacent to Sadr City, which is predominantly Shiite.
After going through the checkpoint, the vehicle parked next to a market across the street from a school, said the official, who asked not to be identified.
"And the two adults were seen to get out of the vehicle, and run from the vehicle, and then followed by the detonation of the vehicle," the official said. "It killed the two children inside as well as three other civilians in the vicinity. So, a total of five killed, seven injured."
Officials here said they did not know who the children were or their relationship to the two adults who fled the scene. They had no information about their ages or genders.
I remember years ago, hearing about a motorcycle theft at a local bike shop. A guy came walking up the street to Sill's Cycle shop, carrying a puppy. He started looking over some of the bikes passing the time of day with Don Sills the owner.
He acted very interested in one and asked Don if he minded holding his puppy while he took it on a test spin around the block.
He never came back.
A short time latter some neighborhood children came looking for their puppy.
At least for the kids, that story had a happy ending.
This story has no happy ending.
So my question is:
Who Do YOU Think Is The Lower Form of Life
Someone who would do something like this to innocent children?
Or someone who teaches that doing something like this to innocent children is rewarded with a Free Trip to Paradise.
Just when you think they cannot sink lower they find a new level of depravity.
No I am not the one guilty of dehumanizing their scum. Their religious leaders are.

On 23 August 1779, the USS Constitution set sail from Boston, loaded with 475 officers and men, 48,600 gallons of water, 74,000 cannon shot, 11,500 pounds of black powder and 79,400 gallons of rum. Her mission: to destroy and harass English shipping.
On 6 October, she made Jamaica, took on 826 pounds of flour and 68,300 gallons of rum. Three weeks later, Constitution reached the Azores, where she provisioned with 550 pounds of beef and 6,300 gallons of Portuguese wine.
On 18 November, she set sail for England where her crew captured and scuttled 12 English merchant vessels and took aboard their rum. By this > time, Constitution had run out of shot. Nevertheless, she made her way unarmed up the Firth of Clyde for a night raid. Here, her landing party captured a whiskey distillery, transferred 40,000 gallons aboard and headed for home.
On 20 February 1780, the Constitution arrived in Boston with no cannon shot, no food, no powder, no rum and no whiskey. She did, however, still carry her crew of 475 officers and men and 48,600 gallons of Stagnant?water.
