…on This week is obscene. He is being compared to the worst of the Islamists, how many killings has he called for?

There are a lot of different voices being heard from, the show isn’t as bad as it could be but the idea that Franklin Graham is the equivalent to a those who call for suicide bombings is simply nonsense.

Furthermore we hear the cry of the Spanish Inquisition of many centuries ago, ignoring numbers a bit more recent.

Take a look at the numbers. They speak for themselves.

The Flemish menace strikes again!

Police have arrested five suspected Islamist terrorists, working as street cleaners in London, over an alleged plan assassinate the Pope.

I have seen plenty of action on twitter going after the pope, yet I don’t see those same people talking about stuff like this.

Update: Weasel Zippers via Michelle: “Quick somebody organize an interfaith conference!

…so lets give them a cheer for this:

Yesterday, President Obama spoke with Staff Sergeant Salvatore Giunta to inform him that he will be awarded the Medal of Honor for acts of gallantry at the risk of his life that went above and beyond the call of duty. Sergeant Giunta will be the first living service member to be awarded the Medal of Honor for service in Iraq or Afghanistan. The President thanked Sergeant Giunta for his service and extraordinary bravery in battle.

I don’t understand why the Bush administration didn’t do this.

Iran is paying Taliban fighters $1,000 for each U.S. soldier they kill in Afghanistan, according to a report in a British newspaper.

The Sunday Times described how a man it said was a “Taliban treasurer” had gone to collect $18,000 from an Iranian firm in Kabul, a reward it said was for an attack in July which killed several Afghan government troops and destroyed an American armored vehicle.

The treasurer left with the cash hidden in a sack of flour, the newspaper said, and then gave it to Taliban fighters in the province of Wardak. In the past six months, the treasurer claimed to have collected more than $77,000 from the company.

While the south was seceding and President Buchannan dithered the cry of unionists was: “Oh but for one hour of (Andrew) Jackson”. When I read this knowing my president; my cry is “Oh but for one hour of Teddy Roosevelt, Harry Truman or Ronald Reagan”!

If this isn’t a causis belli to at least take out the Iranian Nukes I’d like to know what is!
