Celebration Of A Great Nation

And because a ragtag group of men, with little or no military training, were able to join together for the cause of independence, in doing so face the threat of death due to treason, and defeat the most powerful military force at the time, we have this day to celebrate.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, in GENERAL CONGRESS, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the World for the Rectitude of our Intentions, do, in the Name, and by the Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly Publish and Declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be, FREE AND INDEPENDENT STATES; that they are absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political Connection between them and the State of Great-Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as FREE AND INDEPENDENT STATES, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which INDEPENDENT STATES may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm Reliance on the Protection of the divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

This Is, As The Kids Would Say, Pimp

I love this story.

4-year-old Matthew Burgos of Paterson, California was stripped of his title, Little Mr. Apricot, because he flipped the bird to the audience. These tight-ass morons actually took his title away because he did something he didn't even understand. I love stupid people.

Well, Matthew Brurgos, I hereby award you the title of

New Look #25

Now that's better.

About To Explode

Once a terrorist group, always a terrorist group. This situation is about to reach a new level. But who didn't see something like this happening when Hamas was elected to power?

Worst...President...Ever

And this, Mr. Carter, is why you're an idiot who only served one term. Mr. Peanut wants the government to be an open book. That we should know everything they're doing. What a dumbass. Could you imagine this man running the country in today's world? Scares the shit out of me.

Also, that poll he talks about? It was conducted by a group called Sunshine Week. An organization who's mission it is to make the government on open book about everything. I wonder how "fair and balanced" the poll is?

The New Look

I felt it was time to go back to a basic look. Simple, and maybe a little boring, but the content is more important than the looks. Although I might go to blue in a week or so. The green kind of hurts my eyes. I don't know.

Supreme Court, al-Qaeda, Geneva, Oh My

The Supreme Court, with their recent ruling, has essentially given the terrorist group al-Qaeda protection under the Geneva Convention. They don't have to follow it, but they're protected by it. Question: Is This A Good Idea?

My personal view is that it's a little of both a good idea and bad. Bad because of what I said above. They my be protected by it but they don't have to follow it. They can capture an American soldier, shoot him, beat him and decapitate him because they don't have to follow the same rules. Doesn't sound too fair to me, but it's the law. But, there is some good in it as well. Convention III - Section II - Article 118 of the Geneva Convention states

Prisoners of war shall be released and repatriated without delay after the cessation of active hostilities

Which means that the people being held at Gitmo can be held indefinitely because, as some have stated on this blog, there is no end to this War On Terror. I don't think al-Qaeda will be surrendering any time soon and unless we get a spineless jellyfish like Kerry in office in '08, I don't think the U.S. will either.
