He’ll never get to see Allah as he leaves the world that way by the terms of his own twisted faith.

I have a feeling Allah will want to see him no matter what. I know I would if this guy did something this heinous and this despicable in my name. I’d want to do more than see him.

Put a pig-ear in his mouth (the kind you buy for dogs to chew) and pull the plug. He’ll never get to see Allah as he leaves the world that way by the terms of his own twisted faith. And the world will be rid of a filthy piece of shit that betrayed his country, family, and religion.

Hopefully he lives and is entirely paralyzed. Has to live the rest of his pathetic life looking out at the world and not being able to move a muscle.

All he needs is to light up a nice cancer stick to help relieve the stress.

@Ryan: The kicker is that the weather in D.C. yesterday was perfect for protesting. Nice and cool. This guy wouldn’t have had a chance in August.

@Nazgul09: She’s not 41 you idiot. She now 42. You left a comment on a post that is over a year old.

Earlier today I wrote a post about a teabagger collapsing at a health care protest. Why don’t you come back 14 months from now and leave a comment on that too.

I imagine that being assholes must be very stressful for these people, it’s a wonder more didn’t collapse.

@Lee B.: I would argue that it’s really only a few Muslim people who engage in terrorism that give Islam a bad name. With as many Muslims that are in the world (over 1 billion) if Islam sparked it’s followers into being terrorists, the world would truly bad in bad shape.

I’m not even sure Islam has anything to do with it. I wonder if it’s caused by fundamentalism. There’s parts of the Old Testament that are just as bloody and as violent as certain parts of the Quran. In fact, I’d hold up the book of Leviticus to anything mentioned in the Quran.

I’m not sure that if instead of being instructed in a madrasah on the Quran by backward religious fundamentalists were instead taught by these same people using the Old Testament, they wouldn’t end up going out and killing just as many people in the name of God.

And I don’t think the Somali pirates are terrorists. They’re just plain old pirates. Instead of a cutlas and a canon, they use an AK-47 and a RPG.

Right you are, Rick. I’m not saying all Muslims are terrorists. Lately though, it seems like many terrorists are doing their best to give Islam a bad name. The Somalian pirates may somewhat support your case, but Major Murderer certainly does not. Nor would the 9/11 plotters and doers- many were well educated and certainly could have done good for the world had their radical ideologies not taken them to the grave as they killed thousands for Allah.

Their are certainly terrorists from all religions- but the Islamic radicals seem to make a point of stressing their religion as they pull the trigger more so than any other group.

@Lee B.: I think there's a lot of contributing factors. True, these terrorists are all Muslim, but 99.99999% of the Muslims in the world don't engage in terrorism. Most Muslims are good people. I think Islam is a contributing factor, but not the only contributing factor. To me, it's AND logic, not OR logic. For instance, take a person who is Muslim AND lives in abject poverty AND under oppression AND without any hope of things ever getting better AND mental instability, a person might become a suicide terrorist.

Comment on Why Creigh Deeds lost by TKDgirl

TKDgirl — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 14:05:51 +0000

You’re absolutely right. Virginia’s “Democratic” candidate was really no different than Virginia’s Republican candidate, so therefore, Deeds didn’t mobilize the Democratic base into coming out and voting. I believe the same can be said about the race in NJ. These Democratic losses were not a referendum on Obama or his presidency, as much as they were a statement from the progressive base about not settling for a Democrat in name only (Joe Lieberman, anyone?…though I know he’s “techinically” an Independent). I think what the Congressional race in NY showed us was that people want a distinctive choice in their candidates…the Democratic candidate should espouse views and an agenda that supports the Democratic Party’s general platform, not some hybrid of the conservative Republican’s platform. And I also believe Democrats will come out in force to vote for a truly progressive Democratic candidate…i.e., Dem. Donna Edwards over Bluedog Dem. Al Wynn a couple of years ago, someone who offers something beyond the status quo. I think that’s why Obama won last year…he appeared to offer hope and change from the status quo and the progressives and liberals and independents were all on board and came out in force.

@dave: On point A, you missed the sarcasm. On point B, you even need to ask where evidence of one massacre after another is taking place in the name of Allah? Gee, Barney, I guess I must have been imagining things.

I’ve never heard of any “peace loving Muslims that have a thing for slaughtering innocents.” Is there even an ounce of evidence?
“Bud those bad apples are heinous and twisted and seem to really dig the large-scale massacre thing. And if you can desecrate the corpses, all the better.” Where are you getting this information from? Who are you quoting? What are you basing this on?

I agree that a few bad apples are giving the whole group a bad name. Bud those bad apples are heinous and twisted and seem to really dig the large-scale massacre thing. And if you can desecrate the corpses, all the better. It gets hard to look past this sort of thing to the peaceable folk wearing the same religious nametag.

He was a psychiatrist as well- there’s a bit of irony. Head doctor wigs out. Go figure.

@Lee B.: Well, I think it’s only a sliver of a fraction of the entire Muslim community that engages in stuff like terrorism. With over a billion Muslims in the world, I have to think it’s a very slight minority that engages in terrorism.

The thing that surprises me the most is that he was a field grade officer. How does something like this happen?

like it or not, we have been infiltrated. I have already made up my mind (not that my opinion matters) but this was terrorism start to finish. And we’ll see more out of the peace-loving Muslims among us.

No offense to the actual peace loving Muslims- I’m talking about the peace loving Muslims that have a thing for slaughtering innocents.

Comment on How much does an American auto worker make? by Justin Moore

Justin Moore — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 13:43:24 +0000

I can agree with you. It is about the decision you make…and the deals you find. The only problem is when housing costs start to skyrocket where one is living, and they don’t make any changes, like new city, housing, etc.

Comment on Health care reform is scarier than terrorism by Lee B.

It’ll be interesting to see how it plays out. I hope whatever the outcome, it is agreeable to your needs without requiring us to sell what’s left of our financial soul as a country to China.

@Lee B.: Well, yeah, sure because if you are 65 years old or disabled, it’s free. Personally, my first choice for creating a public option would be to allow all Americans to buy into Medicare.
