Constitutional Rights for Our Enemies

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Monday, June 23, 2008 8:21:56 AM
I believe this is the first time in our history that foreigners in combat situations have been "awarded" constitutional rights for being caught trying to kill American soldiers on the field of battle. Yes, they don't have "prisoner-of-war" status, but this is a good thing, since that status gives them other rights. But this is the first war in my memory where the enemy didn't wear uniforms and fight for a recognizable government. This does not make them "simple criminals." They are STILL "enemy combatants," and should be detained until the end of hostilities." That's the only way we can prevent them from rejoining their units and resuming the killing of Americans, as well as innocent Islamics. Personally, I think if they are "caught in the act," they should be shot. None of this "drop your guns" crap. Just shoot them and kill them on the spot. Somebody needs to convince those ignorant justices that these people need to be dealt with in a different manner. Or maybe I should call them stupid, since stupidity is knowing something, and refusing to admit it. (Ann Coulter)

Silencing Hate Speech

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Monday, June 23, 2008 8:19:28 AM

SILENCING HATE SPEECH: More and more, all over the world except for America they are making laws to "silence" people who say things they don't like. I don't like what many "haters" say and write, but I believe they have the right to say or write those things. I also have the right to say or write what I wish ABOUT what they say or write, and neither of us should be punished in a court of law for "hate speech." Yes, if I say or write something patently racist or sexist, I should be "shunned," as should they. I think those who spout "hate speech" should be allowed to tell the world who and what they are. Who decides what constitutes "hate speech," anyway? Who gets that right? There is a movement afoot in this country to make laws against "hate speech." It is said that "hate speech" should not have the protection of the Constitution. But I say, by WHAT right do they decide what IS "hate speech?" If we let them do that to Nazis or white supremacists, or other people they deem "haters," soon they'll be saying WE are guilty of "hate speech" if they don't agree with what we say. I will NEVER alter my words because somebody else thinks what I'm saying is wrong. They don't have that right. This article was written by a man some people think has said things SOME people think is "hate speech." But here, he is "right on." (Human Events)

Second Marine to Sue Murtha

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Sunday, June 22, 2008 4:19:02 PM
Col. Jeffery Chessani is not the first Marine to sue Sen. John Murtha for his irresponsible blatherings about the battle in Iraq where Murtha claimed "the marines went on a revenge crusade" and "killed a lot of innocent people." They did not. Murtha also lied when he said there was no "battle" involved. Murtha is prone to such irresponsible meanderings, as are several other politicians. It's about time somebody sued such people for opening their mouths when they don't know what they're talking about, when they do it all the time. And when they're proven wrong, do they apologize? Not even! They just "tough it out" and hope people will forget it. Not Chressani, and neither will his soldiers. The people Murtha slandered with his false allegations. Somebody needs to "slap Murtha down." (Say Anything Blog)

Getting to Be A Habit

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Sunday, June 22, 2008 4:12:43 PM
How are we going to be able to expect our police officers to go out of their way to defend us if we put them in jail on the slightest complaint by a criminal they happened to hurt while apprehending them? Remember, "perps" are constantly falsely making such accusations against police who apprehend them. Policewoman Stephanie Mohr (mother of a small son) has been in prison for the last five years, and has another five years to serve, because the court blindly BELIEVED the word of a twice-deported illegal alien criminal who said she "let her dog go without provocation," and he bit him. Yeah, right. How many times have we heard that "without provocation" lie from a "perp?" Was there any other proof beyond his unsupported word? No. They even had to bring in yet another unsupported claim that this woman "uttered a racist epithet": during another, earlier arrest of someone else. The last I heard, such statements, that had nothing to do with the current case, were not allowed in court. But this one was, and apparently moved the jury toward conviction of this woman, who was doing her job. On this site there are numerous such cases, not even mentioning the two Border Patrol officers who were imprisoned for ten years or more for doing their jobs; an action that has the Border Patrol desperately advertising everywhere they can, including on a race car, for applicants, while getting none, or only a few from ignorant people desperate for a job, and willing to take a chance on their employer imprisoning them, rather than the criminal.

Ray's Shorts 6/22/08

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Sunday, June 22, 2008 4:09:54 PM
Copyright © 2008 By Ray Thomas. These are items of OPINION, for which I often don't have URLs to use for documentation and which are usually too short to be a headlined item. When I can, I'll include any URLs I have, or give you an idea where to look. This feature may be used freely by posting or publishing it without changes, and while retaining my copyright indicia. Please let me know when you do.   . . .   PRESS WRONG -- AS USUAL: A recent item in the newspaper, buried among the condom ads on the back pages, told of the   fact that "Floodwater's toxins (in New Orleans) not as bad as first feared," and as "trumpeted" in the mainstream media. This is just the latest thing that was "over-reported" and the press got wrong about Katrina and Rita. Yet the media continues to brag about the "fine" reporting in New Orleans and give each other0 many unearned awards.  . . .  DELAY FIGHTS BACK: Tom DeLay filed an action against the Texas prosecutor who tried to ruin him, accusing him of "jury shopping" in his efforts to destroy him. Ronnie Earle refused service of a subpoena, claiming it was not properly prepared. Should Earle now "step down" because he has been ACCUSED of wrongdoing?  . . .  A "TIME FOR KILLING": Columnist Mike Rosen in Denver, said it best: "This isn't a time for 'healing' with Islamofascists; it's a time for killing them and their leaders." I second that notion.  . . .  NOT ENOUGH "TAKERS": Nearly 24,000 residents who were eligible for food stamps somehow got along without them because they didn't know they were eligible and they didn't see the ADS the food stamp people were running trying to get more participants. More than $16.3 million dollar's worth of food stamps went begging. That's terrible! They were there to be given away at taxpayer expense, and nobody wanted them! Sheesh!  . . .  KILLING THE GOOSE: Liberals constantly talk about "improving economy," but they spend a lot of time (and money) trying to destroy the very thing that will cause a better economy. Things like Wal-Mart, who employs thousands of local people everywhere they open a store.  . . .  IT'S ALWAYS A DEMOCRAT: Have you ever noticed that when they produce a television show about the presidency (such as "West Wing") and "Commander-In-Chief," (about a female vice-president who was elevated to the presidency by the death of the president), the "good guys" are always Democrats (liberals) and the "bad guys" are always Republicans (Conservatives)? Sounds like hidden propaganda from Hollywood to me.

Typical Liberal Blog

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Saturday, June 21, 2008 2:35:21 PM
"The Raw Story" tells a tale about John McCain calling his wife a "nasty word meaning a female sex organ [A word I wouldn't use in my blog. -RT]" after she playfully twirled his hair and said "It's getting a little thin up there." Frankly, if my wife was that rich and I wasn't, and I was running for office, I wouldn't dream of saying something like that. I don't think he did, and this blog just made it up. This blog works hard to create the image that electing McCain would be like having a "third Bush term." What's wrong with that? They make a point of showing Bush and McCain in an embrace. But do they show the embrace between Bush and a former Democrat Senate Leader (since deposed)? Of course not; that would defeat their purpose, wouldn't it? I don't agree with everything Bush has done, but he's the only politician I've seen lately who isn't afraid to do what he thinks is right, and "damn the torpedos!" And he's managed to keep our shores free of Islamic terrorist murders since 2001. I also think we could do better than McCain, but not with Obama OR Hillary, socialists both. (The Raw Story)

Obama: "Same Ol' Same Ol' "

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Saturday, June 21, 2008 2:31:49 PM
Obama never stops shouting "change," just as Bill Clinton did when he was running, and which every Democrat shouts. But the only "change" he is promising is to change the "slow-down" in the "march toward socialism" we've seen since Bush was elected. I say "slow-down," not "stoppage," because no matter who is in the White House, we still move toward socialism at a pace much faster than I want to see. Frankly, Obama is just an "old-timey liberal" with a new coat of paint. He's offering the same old "take from the rich and give to the poor" (his definition of "poor") chant we've heard from the liberals (Democrats) forever. They promise us everything and deliver NOTHING. But nobody seems to notice. And most of what they pledge to give us has to be stolen from those who EARNED it. Now he's talking about "taking" the "windfall profits" the oil companies are supposedly making, forgetting that the oil companies don't make nearly as much AS A GROUP than does Microsoft and many other large companies by themselves, while paying ALMOST HALF that in taxes to the government ($30 billion in taxes on $28 billion profit).The GOVERNMENT, which wants to "take" some of this profit, when they ALREADY get more out of a gallon of gas than ANY of the oil companies, with NO investment of time OR money. It's ALL profit for them. Whenever I hear a liberal politician screaming "change," I cringe and want to throw up. (Washington Times)

Didn't Check the Facts

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Saturday, June 21, 2008 2:27:10 PM
They just "ran with it" because they're "global warming promoters." CBS News and Associated Press ran with a story about global warming "causing" increased earthquakes" story that was easily proven to be bogus with just a little effort; effort they didn't bother to expend. So again they've "got egg on their faces," which they'll probably also blame on global warming. Of course, after their perfidy was exposed, they took the story off their web sites quickly. How did they do it? They cited figures from the last 20 years, ignoring figures from longer ago that would prove them wrong. This is a common scam of liberals. Cite figures that support your position while ignoring other figures that prove you wrong. Sheesh! (American Thinker)

Chicago Alderman Wants Special Treatment

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Friday, June 20, 2008 8:53:38 AM
He helped pass an ordinance against guns, while letting his own license lapse (So he can't be "grandfathered" in). So now he wants to make another law allowing him to renew his license. He SAYS it's for ALL those whose license lapsed, but we know it's for HIM. He ought to be made to "face the music" like the rest of the Chicago residents he has helped disarm in the face of illegally-armed criminals, who never have any trouble getting their guns, and don't worry about laws that say they can't be armed. Why should they? They're CRIMINALS, aren't they? This alderman is a typical "machine politician" who makes laws for everyone else but himself. (CCRKBA)

Al-Sadr "Official" Arrested

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Friday, June 20, 2008 8:48:25 AM
That's one of the biggest problems in Iraq today. You can't tell the difference between the criminals and the politicians (is there any?) This man is a criminal. He's also the "acting Deputy Governor of Maysan Province. He was arrested in his office with another politician. Muqtada al-Sadr's people were quick to scream. But a criminal is a criminal, and al-Sadr ought to be arrested, too. Both are worse than terrorists. They're terrorists masquerading as politicians and clerics. Why don't we get RID of this jerk? We KNOW he's responsible for many terrorist acts. Why is he still allowed to "run free?" (Yahoo News)

Libs Spread False Rumor, Then Blame Rush

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Friday, June 20, 2008 8:45:17 AM
It was an ingenious idea: spread a false rumor that gives Obama a chance to "scotch" it because there is actually no evidence, then blame it on Rush Limbaugh. It gets you a lot of free press and hopefully discredits one of your enemies. This particular rumor, having to do with Michelle Obama using the "whitey" word, was started by the Associated Press, picked up by the liberal Huffington Post, aided by liberal newsman Bob Beckel on FOX, fergawd'sake. Then after Rush mentioned it AS a rumor, they took what he said AFTER he said it was a rumor and attributed the whole thing to him, saying he was "wallowing" in it. AP is a monopoly. They have no competition. People take what they say as "gospel," when they should not. This story is proof they will lie outright to discredit their critics. The "Huffington Post" takes their lead from them, but they're glad to spread false rumors and blame them on Rush. This is the kind of media we have today. So don't believe ANYTHING you can't verify yourself, from sources you trust. Make sure it's not AP. (Rush Limbaugh)

Leading Indicators Up, But...

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Thursday, June 19, 2008 4:55:00 PM
But that's not all. They’re not supposed to "editorialize" on the news pages, but Associated Press does, just by the words they choose. They can't just "report" that these "indicators" are up. They've got to use descriptive words that minimize it, such as "inch up" and "but weakness remains." So basically, they're trying to say, "Look; the indicators are up, but not by much, and the market remains weak." So "the liberals aren't wrong, after all," even if the economy IS getting better in spite of the Democrats being in the majority in Congress and business is reacting to the socialistic laws they will pass.

Press "Downplays" Armed Citizen

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Thursday, June 19, 2008 4:41:39 PM
Yitzhak Dadon, a student in Israel used his gun to shoot a terrorists who wanted to kill a lot of people, but the press in this country ignores it because it would tend to make liars out of them. Armed students are not necessarily going to "go nuts" if they are allowed to carry their guns to school, and they might even stop a criminal gunmen from killing others. But they don't want you to know that. This is a "conspiracy of silence" on the part of the press. The CCRKBA says, "Internationally published reports say Dadon studies at the yeshiva, and had his pistol when the shooting erupted. When the gunman emerged from a library, Dadon reportedly shot him twice in the head. The gunman was subsequently shot by the off-duty soldier. 'Yitzhak Dadon’s apparently well-placed bullets interrupted a rampage,' Gottlieb said. 'What a pity that someone like Mr. Dadon was not in class last April at Virginia Tech. What a tragedy that anti-gun extremism would keep him from attending class at Northern Illinois University. He would never be allowed to teach at Columbine High School, hold a job at Trolley Square in Salt Lake City, or go shopping at Omaha’s Westroads Mall.' " This just reinforces what I've been saying all along. (CCRKBA)

Bug Poop--The New Oil Source

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Wednesday, June 18, 2008 6:39:16 PM
And the government had nothing to do with it--which is why they'll probably want to ban it. They'll probably claim banning it will have something to do with an "endangered species"--one which THEY will MAKE "endangered" by declaring it so. They'll be afraid this bug will do something that they can't do with all their efforts: actually SOLVE the "domestic oil shortage" problem without THEM. These "free market scientists" are doing that now--not ten years from now. They say putting the result of these bug's excretions into a gas tank is about a month away. "What is most remarkable about what they are doing is that instead of trying to re-engineer the global economy--as is required, for example, for the use of hydrogen fuel--they are trying to make a product that is interchangeable with oil." Yes, I know it'll take a LOT of these bugs, but there are ALREADY a LOT of these bugs and what they eat to produce this lubricating poop is GARBAGE. What you and I throw away and don't want to see again (in the same form). "The company claims that this “Oil 2.0” will not only be renewable but also carbon negative--meaning that the carbon it emits will be less than that sucked from the atmosphere by the raw materials from which it is made." The best part of it is it doesn't cost much. Something you'll NEVER get from a government operation. Can you think of anything better? But watch for liberals to immediately "jump on" this development in an effort to discredit it. They HAVE to, or lose one of their biggest gambits. (Times Online)

Impeach George Bush!

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Wednesday, June 18, 2008 6:11:19 PM
I saw a bumper sticker the other day that said, "Impeach George Bush." What the hell FOR? For going to war with people who murdered 3,000 innocent Americans? For not allowing socialists to run his government? For not being quick enough in New Orleans? (That has been PROVEN to be the fault of the New Orleans mayor and the Louisiana governor (But don't expect liberals to believe that). People who think George Bush should be impeached are INSANE! It would take longer (even if there were a REAL reason) than he's got left in office. Shawn Penn predictably lied to the crowd when he gave a speech advocating the impeachment of George Bush. He said, "So look, if we attempt to impeach for lying about a (oral sex act), yet accept these almost certain abuses [WHAT "certain abuses?" -RT] without challenge, we become a (human) stain on the flag we wave." Clinton didn't "lie about an oral sex act." He lied to CONGRESS, whatever it was about. Lying to Congress is a FELONY, and he was CONVICTED. We paid his fine and took his law license away for five years (really a problem for a guy who makes a million dollars a speech). Of course, he couldn't give any other REAL reasons, but he relied on the liberal method of just "calling people names."
