Egypt's freedom-loving Muslims bring tanks, armored vehicles, live ammunition, and RPGs to war against . . . monks

For more than a millennium, non-Muslims have endured the ravages of jihad as their husbands, fathers, wives, daughters, sons, and civilizations were beheaded, raped, and enslaved by Islam.

How many of them wished -- prayed -- for the military superiority that the West possesses today? Yet our leaders obfuscate, bloviate, lie, and demonize in defense of Islam, including and especially our treasonous (allegedly) former-Muslim-in-Chief, who knows better.

We are at war. To those who would argue that we cannot become like our enemies, it's not your little girls being kidnapped, raped, and forcibly converted to the religion from hell. What will you do when those malevolent fiends are at your daughters? "Please, go ahead. I don't want to be like you"? This is the time for self-defense, not craven, self-righteous stupidity.

As bad as it was for the Copts under Mubarak, it's going to be hell from here on out. Egypt's Muslim army now wages open war on monks, from here:
Monk Aksios Ava Bishoy told activist Nader Shoukry of Freecopts the armed forces stormed the main entrance gate to the monastery in the morning using five tanks, armored vehicles and a bulldozer to demolish the fence built by the monastery last month to protect themselves and the monastery from the lawlessness which prevailed in Egypt during the January 25 Uprising.

"When we tried to address them, the army fired live bullets, wounding Father Feltaows in the leg and Father Barnabas in the abdomen," said Monk Ava Bishoy. "Six Coptic workers in the monastery were also injured, some with serious injuries to the chest."

The injured were rushed to the nearby Sadat Hospital, the ones in serious condition were transferred to the Anglo-Egyptian Hospital in Cairo.

Father Hemanot Ava Bishoy said the army fired live ammunition and RPGs continuously for 30 minutes, which hit part of the ancient fence inside the monastery. "The army was shocked to see the monks standing there praying 'Lord have mercy' without running away. This is what really upset them," he said. "As the soldiers were demolishing the gate and the fence they were chanting 'Allahu Akbar' and 'Victory, Victory'."

He also added that the army prevented the monastery's car from taking the injured to hospital.

Muslims trying to prove "out-of-context" only highlight what their genocidal pedophile preached and practiced

Implying error on my part, Fazeel Gareeboo actually quotes passages from Islam's "sacred" texts requiring the enslavement and slaughter of those who refuse the "invitation" to convert.

(Unfortunately, he has yet to denounce them.)

From here:
USC's MSA (an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, whose stated purpose is to bring down Western Civilization from within), lists the hadith in question as Number 25. As of January, 2006, when I saved a copy of their site (just in case the MSA decided to hide what their genocidal pedophile Muhammad actually said and did), the hadith in question was numbered "24":
Bukhari before the MSA changed its numbering
You'll have to ask USC's MSA why they changed it.

More importantly, you've verified that I've not misrepresented the texts. You've emphasized powerfully the fact that -- according to Muhammad -- the non-Muslim must confess Muhammad and his allah to "save his life and property" from him.

Now that you've admitted that Muhammad commanded and practiced offensive warfare against non-Muslims to make the world Islam, will you denounce those commands and example, Fazeel?

Not sure whom to support in Libya? Ask the Muslim Brotherhood

And then choose the tyrant opposing them.

It's a choice between Morgoth and Sauron. The frying pan or the fire. The lesser of two evils, literally.

From here:
"'The most influential Sunni Muslim cleric in the world' misunderstands Islam, calls on the warriors of Islam to murder Gaddafi."
"most influential Sunni Muslim cleric in the world" So much for "most Muslims don't believe that."

If 9/11 weren't enough -- and tens of thousands of other atrocities since then -- that tells you all you need to know about Islam.

And Obama for demanding you respect it.

Add "hatred of Christianity" to the list of reasons "Why nobody understands Islam"

The redoubtable Ronald Craig sees fit to throw the dirty bath water on the baby with this revealing bit:
"'Abrahamic' is one of Muhammad's lies."

Really? And "Christianity" is monotheistic. Please. LOL.

"Another example of those who hate Christianity so much that they'd ignore or otherwise facilitate the jihad against them[=it?]." (I think you meant "it" there.)

Nah, I hate human stupidity in general too much to waste time specifically on "Christianity". But yes, if you little spiritual sons of Abraham want to wipe each other out and can do it without dragging down the rest of the world with you (not in your plans, I know!), sure, I'd be more than happy to look the other way while you do so.

And seriously, all the hate-mongering you're engaged in? (Yeah, I know, you're just "defending" yourself. LOL!)

WWJD?
Here's my reply:
Speaking of "human stupidity," it's clear that you've wasted no time on either Christianity or Islam.

Here are a few points to consider:
-Christianity is not polytheistic: "Let us make man in our image" ("image" not "images"). "You shall have no other gods before Me." "Hear, O Israel, the LORD our God, the LORD is one." "The Father and I are one." "baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit . . . " ("name," not "names").

Just because we can't comprehend YHWH's nature doesn't mean we can't apprehend His nature when He reveals it.

-If Muhammad had been a son of Abraham, he would have said and done what Abraham said and did. According to his own texts, Muhammad "sacralized" the violation of all Ten Commandments and the Golden Rule. Clearly, he was no son of Abraham.

-I did not mean "it." Jihad is being waged against you, but your antagonism towards Christianity blinds you to that.

-"you little spiritual sons of Abraham want to wipe each other out and can do it without dragging the rest of the world with you" indicates an utter ignorance of Islam. Even though you know nothing about Christianity, you ought to know by now that Islam is at war with the non-Muslim world, regardless of creed. You think you're safe, but Allah has special hatred for the godless like you.

-How is telling the truth about Muhammad -- whose words and deeds are actual hate; it takes a special kind of nescience (or perverseness) to confuse the two -- "hate-mongering"? No doubt, in your mind Churchill was hateful for telling the truth about Hitler before he began devouring Europe. Do you understand that, Ronald? Muhammad beheads fathers and rapes and enslaves their wives and daughters -- including prepubescent little girls -- and you're calling Christians "hate-mongers."

-We know what Jesus did. Unlike you, He never apologized for evil or conflated it with its resistance.
Deal honestly with the facts as they exist, Ronald.

"Amateurishness" or malice?

What must one conclude when every decision an allegedly-former-Muslim makes advances jihad against the non-Muslim world? When it was Presidents Clinton and Bush bombing Christians in defense of Muslims waging jihad, enshrining shari'a into the constitutions of two new "democracies" (how's that for oxymoronic?), and agitating for an Islamic Kosovo in the heart of Europe, one could reasonably conclude that they were merely clueless dhimmis either indulging their multiculturalist prejudice against the greatest civilization the world has ever known or operating on the suicidal misconception that Islam lends itself naturally to freedom. But President Obama?

How can the "smartest president ever" who:
-was Muslim,

-attended Qur'an classes as a child (was he illiterate and deaf?),

-has received and given aid to rabid Muslim anti-Semites (yes, that's doubly-redundant),

-attended a rabidly-anti-American "church" for twenty years, calling its anti-Semitic leader his "spiritual mentor,"

-expressed his determination to "stand with the Muslims" after 9/11,

-referred in an interview during his last campaign to "my Muslim faith,"

-described the Islamic call to prayer as "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset,"

-invited the Muslim Brotherhood -- whose stated purpose is to "bring down Western Civilization from within" -- to both his Cairo propaganda event and to govern Egypt,

-obfuscated and deflected when an Indian schoolgirl at another photo op in Dar al-Islam asked him about the meaning of "jihad,"

-works tirelessly to undermine the only decent nation in the Middle East, Israel, and

-is bankrupting and disarming the Republic
not know that he's aiding the advance of jihad and shari'a?

I hope that Niall Ferguson is right. Perhaps I'm giving Obama too much credit. Maybe he's only Another Liberal Fraud feigning competence while indulging a typically-leftist loathing of the West.

But if Obama really is as intelligent as his followers claim, then it's not "amateurishness" that leads him to help our enemies and abandon our friends, it's malice.

Niall Ferguson explains Obama's malfeasance alleged incompetence:

If this is what happens in a "moderate, secular" Egypt, wait 'til the Muslim Brotherhood's in power

CBS News' Lara Logan Assaulted During Egypt Protests:
"On Friday, Feb. 11, the day Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak stepped down, CBS chief foreign correspondent Lara Logan was covering the jubilation in Tahrir Square for a '60 Minutes' story when she and her team and their security were surrounded by a dangerous element amidst the celebration. It was a mob of more than 200 people whipped into frenzy.

In the crush of the mob, she was separated from her crew. She was surrounded and suffered a brutal and sustained sexual assault and beating before being saved by a group of women and an estimated 20 Egyptian soldiers."
Keep her in your prayers.

UPDATE: The Muslims were shouting, "Jew! Jew!" while they raped her for twenty to thirty minutes. How did CBS forget to print those little details? We mustn't confuse anyone with the facts, right, CBS? Can't throw a wet blanket on Obama's little rebellion, can we?

Just like Carter, who still doesn't understand that removing brutal dictators holding rabid Muslims in check only allows the rabid Muslims to take over.

Well done, CBS. Great job, Mr. President!

It's not the lack of integration that causes jihad, it's jihad that causes the lack of integration

Multiculturalism has become Islam's Trojan horse.

How can anyone expect not only the preservation and emphasis of distinctions between cultures but the degradation and denigration of our own (multiculturalism) to result in the assimilation and integration of non-Western cultures? Worse yet, what if one of those alien systems to which some are so eager to prove their tolerance actively seeks the destruction of the West?

The principle that all people deserve respect because they are created in the image of God is completely consonant with the American creed as both are founded on the Word of Christ. On the other hand, the idea that all ideologies deserve respect or possess a moral value equal to our own is discredited every day around the world by Islam. As Ibn Warraq observed:
"A culture that gave the world the novel; the music of Mozart, Beethoven, and Schubert; and the paintings of Michelangelo, da Vinci, and Rembrandt does not need lessons from societies whose idea of heaven, peopled with female virgins, resembles a cosmic brothel. Nor does the West need lectures on the superior virtue of societies in which women are kept in subjection under sharia, endure genital mutilation, are stoned to death for alleged adultery, and are married off against their will at the age of nine . . . ."
Cameron, Merkel, Howard, Aznar, and now Sarkozy --but not Obama! Why? -- Europe awakes to the challenge its forebears faced: The existential threat posed to it by Islam. Only this time, the barbarians are not at the gates; instead, they've been invited in (mass immigration), are living at taxpayers' expense (Socialism serving shari'a), and enjoy special rights under the law (hate speech laws punishing factual statements about Islam).

Note that below, "multiculturalism" now means Islam.

From here:
French President Nicolas Sarkozy declared Thursday that multiculturalism had failed, joining a growing number of world leaders or ex-leaders who have condemned it.

"My answer is clearly yes, it is a failure," he said in a television interview when asked about the policy which advocates that host societies welcome and foster distinct cultural and religious immigrant groups.

"Of course we must all respect differences, but we do not want... a society where communities coexist side by side.

"If you come to France, you accept to melt into a single community, which is the national community, and if you do not want to accept that, you cannot be welcome in France," the right-wing president said.

"The French national community cannot accept a change in its lifestyle, equality between men and women... freedom for little girls to go to school," he said.
But aren't all societies created equal? What sort of culture would endorse gender discrimination?
"We have been too concerned about the identity of the person who was arriving and not enough about the identity of the country that was receiving him," Sarkozy said in the TFI channel show.
That's because the West despises itself.
British Prime Minister David Cameron, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Australia's ex-prime minister John Howard and Spanish ex-premier Jose Maria Aznar have also recently said multicultural policies have not successfully integrated immigrants.

Merkel in October said efforts towards multiculturalism in Germany had "failed, totally."

The comment followed weeks of anguished debate sparked by the huge popularity of a book by a central banker saying that immigrants, in particular Muslims, were making Germany "more stupid."
Who is more "stupid," the "stupid," or those who invite in the "stupid," subsidize their depravity, and excuse their barbarous anti-Semitism and predatory attitudes toward non-Muslim women?
Britain's Cameron last week pronounced his country's long-standing policy of multiculturalism a failure, calling for better integration of young Muslims to combat home-grown extremism.
I can save the U.K. several billions of pounds and thousands of innocent lives: It's not the lack of integration that causes jihad, it's jihad that causes the lack of integration.
He urged a "more active, muscular liberalism" where equal rights, the rule of law, freedom of speech and democracy are actively promoted to create a stronger national identity.

The prime minister, who took power in May 2010, argued that "under the doctrine of state multiculturalism, we have encouraged different cultures to live separate lives, apart from each other and the mainstream".

He said this had resulted in a lack of national identity in Britain which had made some young Muslims turn to extremist ideology.
Here again, it's not the "lack of national identity in Britain" which makes Muslims turn to jihad; it's Britain's lack of national pride that has allowed Muslims to wage unopposed their cultural jihad.
Sarkozy said in his television interview Thursday that "our Muslim compatriots must be able to practise their religion, as any citizen can," but he noted "we in France do not want people to pray in an ostentatious way in the street."
Just like the hijab, it's not prayer that's a problem -- does anyone care if some Baptists or Buddhists were to pray publicly?  The problem is that Muslim masses overrunning public places is another slap in the face to their host society, another expression of Muslim superiority to their non-Muslim neighbors.

The problem is Islam.
French far-right leader Marine Le Pen late last year came under fire for comparing Muslims praying in the streets outside overcrowded mosques in France to the Nazi occupation.

Marine Le Pen said there were "ten to fifteen" places in France where Muslims worshipped in the streets outside mosques when these were full.
Europe has been a continent of Neville Chamberlains. It's time for some Churchills. He understood Islam:
"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.

"A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property -- either as a child, a wife, or a concubine -- must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.

"Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen; all know how to die; but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science -- the science against which it had vainly struggled -- the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome."

How can you trust the judgment of someone who's descended voluntarily from Christ (at least nominally) to Smith to Muhammad to Oblivion?

Self-described in 2005 as "an historical serial religionist - Catholic, Mormon, Muslim - and a current areligionist," Timothy Behrend demonstrates an Islamic zeal in hiding from non-Muslims until it's too late the truth about Muhammad. If he really is no longer Muslim -- someone who claims to be an expert on Islam yet calls an accurate summary of Muhammad's words and deeds a "risible, anachronistic caricature" can hardly be considered trustworthy -- then the good professor is manifesting instead the murderous ignorance and suicidal self-loathing of those non-Muslims whose hatred of Christianity leads them to defend hell rather than their own civilization.

[How can you trust the judgment of someone who's descended voluntarily from Christ (at least nominally) to Smith to Muhammad to Oblivion? (At least Oblivion doesn't necessarily behead innocents and rape little girls.) Below is my reply to another of his lies in defense of the genocidal pedophile, written when all signs pointed to his being still a slave to Allah.]

Whether Muslim, apostate, or just saboteur, Timmy Behrend works to be one reason Why nobody understands Islam:
Timmy defends the genocidal pedophile Muhammad, but attacks . . . pronouns!

Rather than condemn Muhammad's crimes against God and Man as recorded in his own "sacred" texts, he variously:
1) Errs grammatically -- if "them" is "meaningless," then Timmy would not have understood its relation to its antecedent; regardless, "them" is the objective of "they," which is the plural of several third person pronouns including "it."

2) Imputes falsely to me either racism for "inventing racist discourses" or ignorance for believing them;

3) Misrepresents America's suicidally-deranged efforts at self-defense against his braver coreligionists. Anyone paying attention would know that official American policy toward Islam is: "Great world religion of peace hijacked by extremists (if only that had been a pun!) . . . They're just like us . . . All people yearn for freedom . . . Don't jump to conclusions . . . Jihad has nothing to do with Islam . . . Let's give them a democracy!" on which we've squandered billions in treasure and priceless blood;

4) Defames Islam by calling its "beautiful pattern of conduct" a "risible . . . anachronistic caricature;"

5) Contradicts himself by claiming variously that no one can define Islam, no one knows what all Muslims believe, and "no Muslims believe it";

6) Defames Christ, Christianity, and America by confusing all three for "authentic Muslim beliefs" (which he says do not exist; see #5 above);

7) Libels Christians around the world;

8) Engages in more ridiculous tu quoque while demonstrating his utter ignorance of my religious beliefs; instead of throwing out slanderous accusations and hoping at least one will stick, why not deal with fact?

9) Calls my quoting of Muhammad's words and deeds -- which I condemn -- "dangerous for US society and the world at large," but excuses, dismisses, extenuates, and obfuscates for Muslims' quoting -- and actually practicing -- them.
Islam is an ideology, not a race. I merely quote, paraphrase, and summarize Muhammad's words and deeds -- and what his followers have done in devotion to him -- which is why no lie, no logical fallacy, no disgraceful misdirection is too base for Timmy to employ.

Timmy's a credit to his religion. Sorry, I meant "exemplar."
[And just in case Amazon deletes these:
Can't help but confuse categories, Timmy? Or is it just a pathological mendacity?

It's not "non-Christian displays of personal religiosity" that offend; it's personal displays of the most vile ideology ever sprung from hell. "Sacralized" genocide, pedophilia, rape, and slavery deserve only scorn. Derision. Obliteration.

Why don't they offend you, Timmy?
And:
Imposing special rights for Muslims -- to the detriment of non-Muslims -- is the essence of shari'a.]

If George Lucas can make Han Solo into a Boy Scout, he can make Jar Jar Binks a mime

From here:
If Lucas can change Han Solo's essence, then he can change it back. And if he can spend the time and money to redo copious special effects, then he can re-edit The Phantom Menace.

The Revenge of the Sith is closest to the originals in tone and quality; The Attack of the Clones (why that title? Why not "The Rise of the Emperor" or somesuch?) was fine as one continuous fight scene; but with Phantom, the only ones menaced were fans of the original trilogy. And anyone older than seven.

No plot development, no character development, Darth Maul squandered, and too much Jar Jar. If Alderaan had a choice between watching Phantom and a rendezvous with the Death Star, you know what they'd choose. Every time. Seriously, with every viewing of Menace, it's as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced.

If Lucas can make Han Solo into a Boy Scout, he can make Jar Jar Binks a mime. And give Phantom Menace a plot.

A glimmer of hope in Egypt?

Powerline has comments from a free Egyptian on the protests. I hope his side wins.

If it does, will the free people of Egypt be either willing or able to say, "No," to the Muslim Brotherhood and their coreligionists?
Now, just in case this isn't clear: This protest is not one made or sustained by the Muslim Brotherhood, it's one that had people from all social classes and religious background in Egypt. The Muslim Brotherhood only showed up on Tuesday, and even then they were not the majority of people there by a long shot. We tolerated them there since we won't say no to fellow Egyptians who wanted to stand with us, but neither the Muslims Brotherhood not any of the Opposition leaders have the ability to turn out one tenth of the numbers of Protesters that were in Tahrir on Tuesday. This is a revolution without leaders. Three Million individuals choosing hope instead of fear and braving death on hourly basis to keep their dream of freedom alive. Imagine that.

Senate report concludes that the sky is blue

"the FBI and DOD could have prevented the shooting if they had identified Hasan’s radical Islamist views . . . ."

No kidding.

The obvious problem with this is that the problem was always obvious. Or, it should have been to anyone with even a modicum of curiosity about the world . . . or a pulse. It takes a lot of work to ignore the hordes of data each day highlighting the infrangible link between Islam and mass slaughter, especially after 9/11 and nearly seventeen thousand jihad attacks since. Even without opening a Qur'an, a reasonable person would suspect that something isn't kosher about Islam.

Senators Lieberman and Collins reiterate the Big Lie by implying through their use of "-ists" and "-isms" that what Nidal Hasan preached and practiced that day at Ft. Hood was anything other than Islam-the-Way-Muhammad-Intended. Note their liberal use of violent puns (I guess they didn't get the memo; it's Lieberman and Collins, so yes, that's a pun of my own) and the Orwellian Islamspeak ("radical," "extremist," "Islamist") throughout:
A new Senate report on the 2009 Fort Hood shooting blames the FBI and Department of Defense for failing to recognize or act on alleged shooter Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan’s extremist views.
If Muhammad commanded, "kill the pagans wherever you find them" (Qur'an 9:5), then how are Hasan's views "extremist"?
The report, released today by Senate Homeland Security Committee chairman Joe Lieberman and ranking Republican Susan Collins, says the FBI and DOD could have prevented the shooting if they had identified Hasan’s radical Islamist views and disciplined or discharged him before the attack occurred.

Hasan’s radicalization to violent Islamist extremism but failed both to understand and to act on it,” the senators said in the report. “Our investigation found specific and systemic failures in the government’s handling of the Hasan case and raises additional concerns about what may be broader systemic issues.”
Having an allegedly-former-Muslim-in-Chief who calls the Islamic call to prayer "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset," refers to "my Muslim faith," lies at Al-Azhar about the "great world religion of peace," can't answer honestly a little girl's request for a definition of "jihad," and forces Socialism/Communism -- Islam's only secular friend -- down our throats might indicate "broader systemic issues," might it not?
"DOD possessed compelling evidence that Hasan embraced views so extreme that it should have disciplined him or discharged him from the military, but DOD failed to take action against him,” the report said.

At today’s press conference Lieberman noted that an instructor and a colleague had each referred to Hasan as “a ticking time bomb.”

“To me it’s infuriating that a member of our armed services who expressed such radical opinions to other members of our military was not discharged,” Lieberman said.
"Discharged"?  How about, "deported"? "Dispatched"?
“The Fort Hood massacre resulted because of what I would call a tragedy of errors – just one after another - by organizations that normally perform effectively. But in this case – for a host of various reasons and frankly some things that are hard to explain – just totally failed to act in a way that as you look back at the evidence with the clarity of hindsight just shouts out, ‘Stop this guy before he kills somebody!’ And he was not stopped.”

Lieberman vowed that the report would be used as a “blueprint” for reforms “so the next human ticking time bomb will be identified early and defused before the next deadly detonation.
That "blueprint" is called "Muhammad's words and deeds."

I've got a surefire, one-hundred-percent-guaranteed, take-it-to-the-bank method for identifying the "next deadly detonation": Look for the devout/orthodox/traditional Muslim. Anything less than that only ensures the attack.

Somehow, I don't think we'll be hearing that from either of the distinguished senators.

So much for clarity.

Muslims beheading the Left's fantasies about Islam, one journalist at a time

What, if anything, have our "unbiased observers," our professional opinion makers, learned from their experiences up-close-and-personal with Islam? Expecting masses grateful for Obama and the Left's shared hatred of Western Civilization enlightened multiculturalism and support for implementing shari'a their "democracy," what did they find?

Anderson Cooper punched in the head ten times. Christiane Amanpour threatened repeatedly by a man clearly barely able to restrain his rage (I've seen that face of Muslim civility before; he would have snapped if not for his friend's restraining him). Katie Couric "menaced" and shoved. An ABC News team nearly beheaded. A Fox News team "beaten severely."

Will they blame Islam, which inculcates both a deep and abiding hatred for all things non-Muslim and an autonomic resorting to threats and violence?  Or will they continue repeating the Big Lie, blaming instead Mubarak, poverty, President Bush, America, or the Jews?

And do you think that Anderson Cooper's noticed yet the stark contrast between the completely peaceful, respectful, and restrained protests of American patriots and the rage of the Muslim street? Will he apologize for his ridiculous and disgusting name-calling and begin to investigate just why the "Arab" world is on fire?

It is, by definition, treason

The Muslim Brotherhood's stated purpose in America "is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and Allah’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.”

And President Obama's helping them to take power in Egypt. 

The president of the United States is aiding those who are "eliminating and destroying Western Civilization from within."

Looks like they're off to a good start.

The balloon's on the other head now, Chris Matthews

If anyone knows balloon heads, it's Chris Matthews.

Ironically enough, the politician on Chris Matthews' show during his recent fit of name-calling attacking Michele Bachmann as a "balloon head" for rightly stressing the importance of the Founding Fathers' work toward the abolition of slavery was none other than Charles Schumer.

It turns out that the senator isn't smarter than a fifth-grader -- or even Chris Matthews -- as he misidentifies the United States' three branches of government with: "We have a House, we have a Senate, we have a president." [sic]

What are the chances of Chris Matthews calling him names?
