Obama asks U.S. voters to “turn the page”
Democrat Barack Obama on Monday called on voters to “turn the page” on the policies of the Bush administration as he emphasized his message of change in a closing argument for the presidential campaign.
If Bubba H thinks the American people will actually sit still for his kind of “change”, he seriously needs to rethink the whole thing. A few days ago, he said something to the effect of expecting blood shed. He has no idea just how right he is if he wants to impose Marxism on freedom loving people! Wake up people! He is NOT the Chosen One! He’s nothing more than a tool for evil, and you are drinking the Kool Aid!
Civilians attack UN compound in eastern Congo
Thousands of civilians threw rocks at the United Nations compound in eastern Congo on Monday, venting outrage at the organization’s inability to protect them from rebel forces advancing on the provincial capital of Goma.
The crowd shattered windows and damaged cars, U.N. spokeswoman Sylvie van den Wildenberg said. There were no immediate reports of any one injured.
People in eastern Congo are angry that a 17,000-strong U.N. peacekeeping force has been unable to protect them from a rebel attack just 25 miles north of the city. Tens of thousands of civilians have abandoned their homes.
I don’t think they are ‘unable’. I believe the UN is UNWILLING. That is the most useless organization ever created. They do the exact opposite of what they are intended. Get rid of it….NOW!
Dutch police officers swear allegiance to Allah
Dutch police in the Gouda region have sworn in police officers who swore allegiance to Allah. The small Christian party SGP has demanded an explanation from the government.
Under current arrangements, police in the Netherlands can choose between the Christian oath (’So help me God Almighty) and the neutral vow (’I declare and promise…’). But it has been revealed that n Gouda, the option has existed for years for Islamic officers to use the oath that runs: ‘In the name of Allah, the Merciful Compassionate, and he is my witness that I promise this.’ The hand must be placed on the Koran for this.
Sinking further into the abyss.
‘US strike’ kills Taleban leader
A suspected US missile strike has killed 20 people, including a top Taleban commander, in north-west Pakistan, witnesses and officials say.
Mohammad Omar was among the dead when the missile, reportedly fired by a pilotless US drone, hit a compound owned by him in South Waziristan.
Buh bye!
Iran: We arm ME ‘liberation armies’
A top Revolutionary Guards commander has said Iran is supplying weapons to “liberation armies” in the Middle East, a state-run news agency reported – the first official confirmation the country provides weapons to armed groups in the region.
Gen. Hossein Hamedani, deputy commander of a volunteer militia that is part of the elite Revolutionary Guards, did not provide specific details. But Iran is widely believed to provide weapons to Hizbullah. The US military has also accused Iran of arming Shi’ite militias in Iraq.
“Not only are our armed forces self-sufficient, liberation armies of the region get part of their weapons from us,” Borna news quoted Hamedani as saying on its Web site late Sunday.
Yeah….we know that. Now, can we wipe ‘em out? They really are a danger to the entire world. Serving tea and crumpets will not help!
Halloween Palin Prop Sparks Controversy In WeHo
Sarah Palin is not considered to be a friend of the gay community, but the Republican vice presidential candidate seems to be looming over the West Hollywood Halloween Carnival.
First, a rumor got started that city officials were going to ban Sarah Palin drag queens at its upcoming costumed street party, which draws some 500,000 people annually.
The rumor turned out to be false, but tonight comes word that a mannequin has been outfitted to look like Palin — with glasses, a beehive wig and a red business suit — and is hanging from a noose outside a WeHo residence.
Oh yeah….really classy there folks! Wonder what the reaction would be if it were an Obama mannequin? Think there would be a ho hum attitude? The outrage would be deafening.
Mayor Herenton’s side job raises questions
Real estate records show Herenton Investment Co., the mayor’s private real estate development business, has sold property to at least four Memphis city workers or officials appointed by the mayor.
As mayor, Willie Herenton has the power to appoint people to powerful boards or organizations and set the pay for employees. Herenton can also influence where large city redevelopment projects are located, and that could conflict with his private real estate interests.
At least one of Herenton’s real estate transactions — a land deal with a city contractor that netted the mayor $50,000 — has drawn the scrutiny of the FBI, but the mayor’s dealings with employees or appointees also raise questions.
Ever wonder why people believe Dhimmicrats to be corrupt? Just take a good, hard, LOOOOONG look at places like Memphis, and New Orleans. Plenty of evidence, right there in the local political machines.
