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.

The Guardian says "fervent rightwing Americans" participated in the buying spree and implies that the cartoonists were responsible for the deaths of 139 people.(like it was the cartoonists who killed those people instead of the ones who shed their blood, how like the Progressive TransNazi viewpoint)

"Derer et yndigt land" was first performed for a large gathering of Danes in 1844, and became popular quickly with the Danish people. It was adopted later that year by the Danish government as a national anthem, but not the sole national anthem. This anthem is on equal status with "Kong Christian",which is both the national and royal anthem.
When the Danish anthem is usually performed or sung, the first verse is played in its entirety, then it is followed by the last four lines of the last verse. (This is true whether the lyrics are sung or not

When I first started upon my journey through the blogverse I created a Statement of Purpose Now upon reading it, one can realize that I did not hold to every detail of that original statement, but from it's basic premise, I have never swayed, in my belief that the Blogs are in fact the Committees of Correspondence of the Second American Revolution.
And that it is a Revolution of Information, no longer can we afford and allow elite gateways to control what we can see, hear and discuss.
For I believe that those bloggers who find their way, here and in particular from the Blogs associated with Sam.

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. "

A few thoughts on what's Funny, what's Not and the Kaffir Underground
This is a Joke Women, know your place!
This is NOT The Twisted Nature of Women Stems from Their Very Creation
Is it in wonder that in places like Denmark we find signs of
The Kaffir Underground
From Gates of ViennaWhose motto is: At the siege of Vienna in 1683 Islam seemed poised to overrun Christian Europe. We are in a new phase of a very old war.
We declare:
Saint Hans’ Eve has always celebrated the tradition of burning away the evil, in earlier times symbolized by the witch, who was supposedly directly connected to Satan. And if the witch was not burned then the harvest could not be safely brought into the house.
Now a new evil has arrived in Europe, an evil that lies and kills in the name of their so-called God. An evil that springs from the so-called Prophet Mohammed. Therefore, in our time, it is he who symbolizes evil and it is not just one harvest that will disappear, but all of Western Europe’s future that will vanish if this evil is not dispatched to Hekkenfeldt [i.e. Hell, literally the Hekla volcano in Iceland — BB].
Therefore will we burn the so-called Prophet Mohammed, on June 23, 2007, in three nameless places.
We burned Mohammed in three different places across the country. We now release the video from the first burning. The next videos will be released on July 23 and August 23.
Massive Car Bomb Disarmed In London Topic: Islamic Jihad
Note: As you can see by this time stamp "Posted by ky/kentuckydan at 9:07 AM CDT"
I started this post just a few hours after the event, alas my blog provider improved my service and it took me all this time to find workarounds. Some features I used to use to edit no longer work and some that I am supposed to use now don't work yet
on Friday morning, Sky News reported. Sky sources said that the explosive device, which was found in a car, was potentially "massive." The area was cordoned off and anti-terrorist police were at the scene.
'Car Weaved Along Before Crashing' Updated: 10:15, Friday June 29, 2007 Witnesses at the scene of the car bomb that failed to go off in central London have told Sky News reporter Emma Birchley what they saw. One said they noticed a silver Mercedes being driven erratically close to the Tiger Tiger nightclub in the Haymarket, near Piccadilly, at around 1:30am. The scene remains cordoned off The driver skidded along the road and crashed the vehicle into rubbish bins that were standing on the pavement before getting out and running away. According to the witness, bouncers from the club then went over to the car to check it out and may have found the device. The owner of a local convenience store said: "It was at 2am that it happened. There were three of us working together. "The police came, closed the door and told us and the customers to stay inside. "They cleared all the people from the area by 2am. At that time we did not know what was going on." Birchley also spoke to a freelance photographer who passed through the area at around 4am. She explained: "The photographer stopped because the area had already been cordoned off. "He said he saw that gas canisters had been removed from the vehicle, a silver Mercedes, and unloaded onto the pavement. "He could also see something large in the back of the car." A different eyewitness has told Sky News he saw nails in the back of the car as well as the gas cannisters
For those who think this is an isolated incident? Might I point out
6/29/07 ( Khost, Afghanistan ) - Religious extremists kidnap and behead a language interpreter. 6/28/07 ( Ramban, India ) - A civilian is abducted and beheaded by the Religion of Peace. 6/28/07 ( Pulwama, India ) - Lashkar-e-Toiba militants attack a security patrol, killing one member. 6/28/07 ( Paktika, Afghanistan ) - An 18-year-old Afghan civilian is killed by a Fedayeen suicide bomber. 6/28/07 ( Songkhla, Thailand ) - A 51-year-old village guard is shot to death by Jihadis as he is returning home. 6/28/07 ( Salman Pak, Iraq ) - Twenty civilians are kidnapped and beheaded by Muslim terrorists.
I should not be surprised, but I learned this morning that machines now lie to us.
I was listening to the Kim Kommando Show on the way home from work this morning and as usual, I learned something helpful
Ink Jet Printers LIE!
If yours tells you it is running out of Ink?
Don't listen to it. They lie.
It turns out the BEST ones tell you that when there is still 20% of the ink left and the WORST ones tell you that when they have SIXTY FOUR PERCENT of their Ink left!!
You just can't trust anything.
The question now is, what other pieces of equipment do I have lurking in my house that I cannot trust?
I admit I have always been a little suspicious of my scales. ;-)
So don't turn your back on your computer peripherials or other electronic devices, they can't be trusted.

This time it was about the USS New York. Made from the World Trade Center!
It was built with 24 tons of scrap steel from the World Trade Center.
It is the fifth in a new class of warship - designed for missions that include special operations against terrorists. It will carry a crew of 360 sailors and 700 combat-ready Marines to be delivered ashore by helicopters and assault craft.
Steel from the World Trade Center was melted down in a foundry in Amite, LA to cast the ship's bow section. When it was poured into the molds on Sept 9, 2003, "those big rough steelworkers treated it with total reverence," recalled Navy Capt. Kevin Wensing, who was there. "It was a spiritual moment for everybody there."
Junior Chavers, foundry operations manager, said that when the trade center steel first arrived, he touched it with his hand and the "hair on my neck stood up." "It had a big meaning to it for all of us," he said. "They knocked us down. They can't keep us down. We're going to be back."
The ship's motto? "Never Forget"
Please keep this going so everyone can see what we are made of in this country!
I have another unofficial motto for it
Do You Feel Lucky Punk?
Later ships in the class will include USS Arlington, the location of the Pentagon, also struck by a hijacked jetliner on Sept. 11, and USS Somerset, named for the Pennsylvania county where United Flight 93 crashed after its passengers fought off hijackers apparently planning to attack another Washington target.

The New York Times — which is still capable of being a pretty good newspaper — reports:
John Edwards ended 2004 with a problem: how to keep alive his public profile without the benefit of a presidential campaign that could finance his travels and pay for his political staff.
Edwards, who reported this year that he had assets of nearly $30 million, came up with a novel solution, creating a nonprofit organization with the stated mission of fighting poverty. The organization, the Center for Promise and Opportunity, raised $1.3 million in 2005, and — unlike a sister charity he created to raise scholarship money for poor students
— the main beneficiary of the center’s fund-raising was Mr. Edwards himself, tax filings show.
A spokesman for Mr. Edwards defended the center yesterday as a legitimate tool against poverty.
The organization became a big part of a shadow political apparatus for Mr. Edwards after his defeat as the Democratic vice presidential nominee in 2004 and before the start of his presidential bid this time around.\
Its officers were members of his political staff, and it helped pay for his nearly constant travel, including to early primary states.
While Mr. Edwards said the organization’s purpose was “making the eradication of poverty the cause of this generation,” its federal filings say it financed “retreats and seminars” with foreign policy experts on Iraq and national security issues. Unlike the scholarship charity, donations to it were not tax deductible, and, significantly, it did not have to disclose its donors — as political action committees and other political fund-raising vehicles do — and there were no limits on the size of individual donations.
So John Edwards has created a Non Profit Org to fight Poverty and Create Jobs for---
Himself and his Staff?
I can just picture him feeding of the generosity of folks who think they are actually helping the poor with their donations.
Just 14% of Americans have a great deal or quite a lot of confidence in Congress. This 14% Congressional confidence rating is the all-time low for this measure,
which Gallup initiated in 1973. The previous low point for Congress was 18% at several points in the period of time 1991 to 1994.
Congress is now nestled at the bottom of the list of Gallup's annual Confidence in Institutions rankings, along with HMOs. Just 15% of Americans have a great deal or quite a lot of confidence in HMOs. (By way of contrast,
69% of Americans have a great deal or quite a lot of confidence in the military.,
which tops the list. More on this at galluppoll.com on Thursday).
It’s worth remembering that Congress is basically nothing more than a mechanism for the representation of the people’s wishes. We all can’t go to Washington. So we elect men and women and send them off in our stead. It’s not an optimal situation, it seems to me, when such a low percentage of average Americans have confidence in this system.
Generally speaking, Americans have been skeptical about Congress for decades now. But the current 14% confidence rating for Congress is down from 19% last year and is the lowest in Gallup’s history, surpassing the 18% confidence in Congress measured in 1991, 1993 and 1994.
Americans' are generally in a sour mood, as discussed here. The particularly low rating for Congress this year thus represents a continuation of the existing low esteem in which Congress is held, coupled with a strongly negative mindset on the part of the American public.
Perhaps Runaway Harry Reid should take a page from his own notebook.
He declares defeat every chance he gets.
He denounces our Military leaders as incompetents.
But it seems that the American People trust our Military, and they are losing trust in Congress and the Democratic Party more and more as time goes on and their real agenda emerges.
