Iranian president Mahmud Ahmadinejad calls President Bush and tells him, “George, I had a wonderful dream last night. I could see America, the whole beautiful country, and on each house I saw a banner.”

“What did it say on the banners?” Bush asks. Mahmud replies, “ALLAH IS GOD, GOD IS ALLAH.”

Bush says, “You know, Mahmud, I am really happy you called. Last night I had a similar dream. I could see all of Tehran, and it was more beautiful than ever. It had been rebuilt completely, and on each house flew an enormous banner.”

“What could you see on the banners?” Mahmud says. Bush replies, “I don’t know, I can’t read Hebrew.”

A few days back I touched on the “irregularities” in the finances of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps (MCDC). Well things are NOT looking any better.

In fact the the website for the official Texas Chapter of the Minutemen, which apparently broke off from the MCDC, breaks down the finances dollar for dollar and apparently the news is not good.

And I don’t think the usual excuses used by Chris Simcox is going to play this time around…considering the Texas Minutemen are doing exactly the same thing as the MCDC is….but apparently with much less financial question marks.

Ok, so initial response to the Blogosphere Battle Royale has been mixed. Despite plugs from the Fraters, Shot in the Dark and Captains Quarters, I have about a dozen people on the right that are interested. Not that that isn’t enough to form a team, just would like a larger number if possible.

The real issue is the lefties. Whom appear to be sticking to their tree-hugging ways and avoiding the challenge. As near as I can tell from Rew’s comment thread, there are a few takers and then a few “ehhhh, maybe, we’ll see….i dunno“.

I’m hoping the case is just that people aren’t willing to commit without details so I’m going to go forward with the plan and see what happens. I suppose worst case scenario, we break up the game into an inter-conservative brawl. I envision two scenarios.
A) Team Illegal Immigrants vs Team Border Control
2) Team Spend Like Drunken Kennedys vs Team Fiscal Restraint

Either way, check back for details as I pick a field that will best serve our needs.

And please let me know if you are interested by leaving a comment either on this post or the previous one.

Recently, an inventory of the weaponry of the MN Militia was done. Now most of the committees report is heavily classified, however, I can say that funds were allocated by the EckerNet division to purchase an additional firearm in order to ensure fire superiority against most any enemy.

For security reasons, some details have been deemed sensitive, but I can reveal that this weekend an AK-47 was purchased and issued to the EckerNet division of the MN Militia.

Such weaponry will help ensure that continued fire superiority the MN Militia can bring to bear on it’s enemies such as the dreaded North Dakota prairie dog.

Once again, late notice but I just recently got the email. However, if any of you live in the vicinity of Plano, TX, Selfridge, MI, Yuma, AZ or San Diego, CA there are public hearings on the immigration plans going through Congress in your area soon!

If you are a blogger that will be able to attend the events, let me know so I can post a link to your coverage.

More information on the public hearings below the fold.

For more information on immigration in general, the Federation for American Immigration Reform is an excellent source and is one I check daily.
(more…)

Ok, I hope to be putting together a Battle Royale of the Blogosphere on a field of combat. Yes, I’m trying to put together an Minnesota Blogosphere Paintball game.

The particulars are yet to be decided (or even thought about) but for now I am trying to guage interest. Preferably I would like to have the teams be the Right side of the Blogosphere vs the Left side of the Blogosphere. So hopefully we can get enough interest from both sides.

Gonna try to work in a charity in there as well. Not sure if I should just pick one or if the proceeds go to the charity of the victor’s choice.

So if you are at all interested, drop a comment below.

UPDATE : Rew is recruiting the lefty forces here.

Wow….you’ll have to watch it yourself. Don’t be drinking while watching it.

Sound included

Perhaps the most pathetic animal I’ve ever seen.

Sometimes the irony is just too great not to notice. Today Mahmoud Komati, deputy chief of Hezbollah’s political arm, unwittedly provided proof of why Israel doing what it’s doing makes sense

“The truth is _ let me say this clearly _ we didn’t even expect (this) response…. that (Israel) would exploit this operation for this big war against us,” said Komati.

He said Hezbollah had expected “the usual, limited response” from Israel to the July 12 cross-border raid, in which three Israelis were killed.

They expected the usual PROPORTIONAL response. And obviously were okay with that because they did it anyway. So as long as Israel limited to proportional responses, they were going to keep up the terrorist attacks. I mean why not, just cause your enemy restrains themselves is no reason for you to!

This is exactly the reason Israel is justified in doing what it is doing. This is how war works, you hit your enemy so hard that in their eyes they are willing to do anything, including unconditional surrender, to stop the war. No war was ever won where the victor annoyed their enemy to defeat.

Some people appear to have forgotten how wars work. Which is why it was especially nice to see The American Thinker write up A Few of the Basics of War

8. During this period there is going to be violence. That is what war means. You can photograph it from every conceivable angle, and document every casualty. That does not change the fact that there is an aggressor - Hizbullah - and a defender - Israel. The end game of war is when the defender goes on the offensive to destroy the aggressor. The final stage of a war is when the defender appears to be the aggressor as it moves into the territory of the aggressor and burns out its black heart. That will be the final stage of the war. Then there will be peace.

Lasting peace…because the aggressor has realize that to continue being the aggressor carries with it consequences so horrible that they are unwilling to endure.

And for those of you still hung up on this ridiculous peacekeeping force idea

9. All recent history shows that there is no role for a “peacekeeping” force in a situation of military antagonism. The oldest of illusions is that the “presence” of a third force will in some way provide a deterrent factor - wrong.

[...]

Why? Because the peacekeeping force is not playing for keeps while the aggressor is. So it cannot work. The only solution is the destruction of the aggressor. Otherwise the logic of the aggressor is to keep up the aggression. The aggressor doesn’t want peace, he wants victory. The only way to block that is to inflict defeat on him. There is no third way.

Forcing peace upon people will result in temporary peace only. The factions have to work it out until there is a clear victor.

Let Israel accomplish it’s mission and perhaps they can achieve peace for themselves and their neighbors. God knows they deserve it.

Well goods news for my Congressional District, apparently Kline will be basically running unopposed as it appears the Democratic party has decided to grab the last life-raft off the S.S. MinnowRowley campaign.

National and Minnesota Democrats seem about ready to walk away from Coleen Rowley’s ill-fated campaign to unseat Rep. John Kline (R-Minn.) - just as her campaign manager recently did.

Many in the party had hoped that Rowley’s national fame - Time magazine named her Person of the Year in 2002 for being a whistle-blower at the FBI - would make her an exciting, appealing candidate in an otherwise Republican-leaning district. But now some state Democrats say Rowley’s first run for political office is going so badly that they’re turning their sights on damage control.

“She’s running the single worst campaign that could be run,” said one state Democratic insider. “I’m worried that if she’s running a weak race in the 2nd it’s going to hurt the statewide candidates. What’s going to get people to turn out and vote Democratic?”

Good question.

An even better question is why someone would come out and vote Democratic to begin with.

Dear Hamas and other assorted fucktardsterrorists,

We are delighted to hear you are interested in a ceasefire. We so enjoyed the previous ceasefires that our two sides enjoyed. It enabled us to build a nice pretty wall all around us to keep out people trying to murder us all…don’t suppose you know who they were do you??

But really, we dirty jooos have no right to complain. After all suicide bombings are just a healthy way of expressing frustration with the fact that your territory is a teeming cesspool of hatred and violence. We can’t say we’d do the same thing but it’s up to all of us to be tolerant of other cultures.

Now apparently you are willing to stop the Qassam rocket fire if we stop our military moves against factions within Gaza?? Now since most of our military moves had exactly that as an objective, this sounds pretty neat. Plus it allows you to save your Qassam rockets in case you find a future use for them! I think we can both consider this a win-win solution right?

We also hear that you are willing to trade Gilad Shalit, the soldier you kidnappedborrowed, for the future release of the Palestinian terroristsprisoners we are holding. This seems acceptable. After all, while we understand the value is not mutually held, we value life and would very much like Shalit back.

Plus we understand that your terroristsmilitant ranks are growing thin from losses, so certainly you will need us to replenish those ranks by releasing more terroristsmilitants so that they may be free to pursue a life of religious suicide bombing.

Yes, we believe all these conditions are acceptable and would like to agree to the ceasefire highlighted above.

NOT!

Yours With Love,

Israel

P.S. Please know that the 2,000 lbs bomb descending upon your head at this moment is manufactured with only the highest quality materials and was lovingly crafted by our people.
