Iraq... Afghanistan... Now Libya

The UN has declared a no-fly zone. US units have launched Tomahawk missile strikes.

Great.

Peace-Prize winner O-bomb-a has gottent the US involved in a stupid war. Again. It is only a matter of time before air strikes turn into troops on the ground. Again. It's only a matter of time before we get involved in an endless war. Again. Odds are, we'll end up causing more problems than we solve. AGAIN.

I can't help but get the feeling that this has happened before. Oh, well. The President's approval ratings with the neocons should soar, and that's what really matters.

I'm sick of Obama. I'm sick of Congress. I'm sick of half-witted goons started idiotic wars that will accomplish NOTHING. I'm just plain sick of Amerika. I want America back!

Some thoughts on WikiLeaks

I cannot believe that I haven't posted on this subject yet. We all know what the statists say - "WikiLeaks is a threat to national security! Julian Assange is a traitor!"

First of all, it is NOT a threat, in any way, to national security. The only thing that MIGHT be dangerous in some vague way are the documents listing "vital" locations across the world. They consist almost entirely of mines (palladium, cobalt, etc.) and undersea cables, with a few other locations that aren't in either category. My thoughts are:

#1: Just how do you expect terrorists to get to undersea cables?
#2: If terrorists thought strategically, most of these places would have been attacked already. Listing them isn't doing any damage.
#3: Terrorists DON'T think strategically. They want to kill as many people as possible, and visibly destroy as much as possible. Attacking a mine, no matter how important or how valuable, is not going to achieve the same effect on the public as bombing buildings, turning them into very visible ruins, which causes TERROR.

I'm also still curious as to how Assange could be a "traitor," considering that he's not a citizen of the United States.

This is supposed to be a good thing...?

Oh. My. Gosh. The freaks who made this commercial are portraying "green police" as a good thing. Yes, I called them freaks. That wasn't harsh enough. Fascist, Communist loopy environmentalist maniacs! There. I feel better now.



Yes, I am aware that this is a car commercial. That doesn't take away from the fact that they're freaks. Seriously, this is disturbing even as a joke. The fact that most Americans wouldn't be infuriated by the mere suggestion of "green police" scares the living daylights out of me.

My baloney detector exploded last night

Anyone who's read Philip E. Johnson's book "Defeating Darwinism" will understand what I'm talking about in the title. As you probably know, if you know me, a NOVA program on Intelligent Design was run on PBS (Propoganda Broadcasting Service is what it REALLY stands for). I am telling you, that thing was only a little more of a documentary than Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth." The whole thing was completely biased, and was just one enormous, reeking smear on Intelligent Design. It was so thoroughly riddled with inaccuracies and thinly disguised smears that I did something I've never done before: I yelled at the TV. It constantly referred to Intelligent Design theory as "creationism," which it most certainly is NOT!!! It gave examples of Christians burning a mural showing the evolution of man and sending hate mail to the parents who filed a lawsuit against the Dover, Pensylvania high school. Yeah, and I'm quite sure that the evolutionists never did crap like that! The lawsuit was filed because the school required that a short statement be read that stated that Darwinism was just a theory and recommended students to a book about I.D. They did not cancel out Darwinism, so what was the big deal? Oh, wait, I forgot that I.D. was "religion," and therefore is unconstitutional to teach. Never mind that the First Amendment specifically states that it is limited to CONGRESS passing laws about religion! In fact, it was expected for the states to pass religious laws, and originally the states were mostly specific denominations. If a school wanted to ban Darwinism and teach Genesis instead, it's perfectly constitutional. Not necessarily right, but certainly constitutional. Then there were the arguments in the courtroom reenactment. Those from the evolution side were absolutely PATHETIC! Archeopterix (hope I spelled that right)! Wierd fish fossil! Mouse trap used as tie clip! Yes, that last one was a real argument against the mousetrap example of irreducible complexity. Those must have been the weakest arguments in favor of Darwinism I've ever seen. I've seen better from comments on Youtube for goodness' sake! Unfortunately, I didn't get to see how the trial ended, but I can probably guess. Oh yeah, and some of the ones that were against teaching "religion" and filed the freaking lawsuit supposedly lead a Bible school as well. It even showed a video of them singing hymns with some kids. Is it just me, or is that kinda contradictory? They file a lawsuit against teaching Intelligent Design, and yet lead a Bible study? That's not right.
