Charges Dropped, Charges Brought

Well, at least that’s what I wish the headline read in the Duke rape case. It is outrageous that this woman can change her story yet again and still remain unscathed and anonymous. Now she isn’t sure a rape even really happened.

Why in the world are accusers of rape allowed to remain anonymous and those accused have their names plastered across the papers? Where do these men seek compensation for their lives being turned into a living hell and the financial burden this caused their families?

Will the woman who accused them in this scam undergo any sort of punishment? Shouldn’t there be some sort of penalty for accusing someone of rape, while hiding in the shadows, ruining lives with impunity while the story changes so many times it is now impossible to believe? What about the press? Shouldn’t they have some restraint in publishing the accused name while allowing the accuser to fire away at will with complete anonymity?

My choice would be what I understand they have in England. No publishing of either the victim or the accused names until a guilty verdict is rendered. With a law such as this not only would people have less incentive to falsely bring a rape allegation, but politically motivated prosecutors would be restrained.

Duke should reinstate these students immediately. As far as I am concerned the remainder of the tuition due for their education should be gratis as punishment for their precipitous suspension.
As for DA Mike Nifongs decision to pursue kidnapping and sex charges, nothing needs to be said. The man is a politically motivated flatworm and that is apparent to all at this point.

The Jean and Kofi show:

It’s been a couple of weeks since Jean Kirkpatrick, former US ambassador to the UN died. She was perhaps the last of the true feminists and a woman I really admired. During her tenure at the UN, and in subsequent appearances and lectures I cant really ever think of her saying anything stunningly brilliant, or drenched in genius. No, what set her apart was the clarity with which she spoke. She had a way of riveting you to your seat because you knew she was going to say what everyone knew, but no one seemed to utter. She was “Miss No Bullshit, no I don’t want to feel your pain, no I don’t want to empathize with you”. Her coining of the phrase “blame America first” is especially apt today.

During the 1980’s the press had a cow over Regan’s statement about the Russians: “trust but verify”. When Kirkpatrick was asked about this her response perfect. She said we didn’t trust them because the Soviet government was evil and therefore would probably lie. We knew they were evil because they had a tendency to shoot people who tried to leave. I remember the open mouthed amazement anytime she would say something like this. I mean everyone knew it, but for some reason it was considered bad to say it. It might be true that no one person was responsible for the end of the Cold War. That attitude, that the Soviet government was evil and should be called such, was probably more responsible than anything else. Kirkpatrick had a major hand in fostering that way of thinking.

That said – let’s move on to Kofi and his gang at the UN, where Jean used to work. It looks as though we are pretty much done brushing the UN Oil for Food Scandal, largest financial scandal in world history, under the rug. But wait! There’s more! Now it turns out Kofi and his family have been getting subsidized housing intended for the working poor.

Is there no end? I think to truly understand the UN, you really have to live in New York for a while. Why anyone has any sort of investment in this group of thugs is beyond me. All it takes is a few one-hour walks around town in the East 50’s. All the diplomatic plate cars illegally parked make you aware of the idiocy. Only a fool would expect a body composed mostly of representatives from dictatorships to behave differently.

Kofi is merely a typical example of the corrupt UN. His presence or departure will mean nothing.

Kirkpatrick was an exceptional representative. Her departing is a loss for us all.

The Land of Discrimination

Well, with “The Flying Imams” settlement check probably already in the mail we now have another horrible, incredible, I cant believe it would happen in this country, they are firing up the gas chambers right now incident.

Apparently a Muslim woman in Dearborn Michigan had her prayers interrupted at a local gym (click for scintillating story). When she went to the gym manager she was told, “You have to respect her (the patron) but she doesn’t have to respect your God” The complainant now feels humiliated and ashamed.

I can think of no valid reason why Muslims in this country should have to endure anything like what members of other religions have to put up with. Court ordered removal of every remotely tangential reference to Christianity of course breeds infinite respect for religion in the population at large.

Is it not outrageous that the American population doesn’t seem to comprehend that disrespect and removal of every aspect of one religion does not mean it is permissible to disrespect other religions?

How could decades of religious excision bring about such low regard for other religions? Astounding!

Message to Homeland Security – Set the guilt threat level to red.

Did you hear the one about the six Imams who walk into a plane?

So much for the “poor me” routine from that road show rapidly becoming known as “The Traveling Imams”. These are the six clowns who got thrown off a US air jet a couple of weeks ago for suspicious activity.

Now everyone has been yammering about racism, and how horrible this is, and how intolerant we are as a country. What a load. From what we know, and by all reports Ive read, these guys did everything they could to try and look as suspicious as possible.

Now, I do not know if the police report of the incident is genuine, but it sure as hell looks real to me. Apparently these idiots were praying not once, but twice before boarding the plane as loudly and as conspicuously as possible. They also were together as a group before boarding, and split up as far as possible to unassigned seats upon boarding. They were also seen talking loudly about Saddam and US. When the boarding was called, they chanted Allah, Allah, Allah. In addition, the men had one bag between the six of them and half of them had one-way tickets. None were overweight, yet they asked for seat belt extensions.

Ok, got the picture? This is as textbook an example of shouting “fire” in a crowded theater as one can get.

What was the motive for these men doing this? I would say it was two fold. They wanted to play the race guilt game to get us to lower our security. We will do anything to accommodate our high population of ninnies who cower at the thought of offending any sort of victims group. They also probably wanted to set up a nice little out of court settlement. See how it works? These guys get our security dropped at the same time we are either buying them a new plasma, or funding another terror operation. Neat!
