Right Wing Nation

Since Gay Patriot posted Toby Keith’s American Soldier, I thought I’d repost my favorite, the Taliban Song.

“I’m just a middle-aged, middle-eastern camel herdin’ man
I got a 2 bedroom cave here in North Afghanistan
Things used to be real cool and they got out of hand when they moved in
They call themselves the Taliban
(ooooo yeah the taliban) (taliban baby)

Now I ain’t seen my wife’s face since they came here
They make her wear a scarf over her head that covers her from ear to ear
She loves the desert and the hot white sand
But man she’s just like me, nah she can’t stand
The Taliban (ooo taliban baby)

You know someday soon we’re both gonna saddle up and it’ll be
Ride Camel Ride
My old lady she’ll be here with me, smilin right by my side
We should do just fine down in Palestine or maybe Turkmenistan
We’ll bid a fair adieu and flip the finger to the Taliban
(oh yeah the taliban) (baby)

Now they attacked New York City cause they thought they could win
Said they would stand and fight until the very bloody end
Mr Bush got on the phone with Iraq and Iran and said “Now, you
sonsofbitches, you better not be doin any business with the taliban”
(Taliban baby)

So we prayed to Allah with all of our might
And then those big U.S. jets came flyin in the night
They dropped little bombs all over our holy land
And man you should have seen em run like rabbits, they ran
(the taliban)

You know someday soon we’re both gonna saddle up and it’ll be
Ride Camel Ride
My old lady she’ll be here with me, smilin right by my side
We should do real fine down around Palestine or maybe Turkmenistan
We’ll bid a fair adieu and flip a couple fingers to the Taliban
we’ll bid a fair adieu and flip a big boner to The Taliban”

Whatever his faults, and he does have faults (”compassionate conservatism” comes to mind), George can hit a homerun when he wants to:

The hatred of the radicals existed before Iraq was an issue. And it will exist after Iraq is no longer an excuse.

The government of Russia did not support Operation Iraqi Freedom, and yet the militants killed more than 150 Russian school children in Beslan.

Over the years, these extremists have used a litany of excuses for violence: the Israeli presence on the West Bank, the U.S. military presence in Saudi Arabia, the defeat of the Taliban, or the crusades of a thousand years ago.

In fact, we are not facing a set of grievances that can be soothed and addressed. We’re facing a radical ideology with unalterable objectives to enslave whole nations and intimidate the world.

No act of ours invited the rage of killers and no concession, bribe or act of appeasement would change or limit their plans for murder.

On the contrary, they target nations whose behavior they believe they can change through violence.

Against such an enemy, there is only one effective response: We will never back down, we will never give in, we will never accept anything less than complete victory.

John Gibson does it again:

So the Wal-Mart customer service guy was trying to calm down an irate customer by saying her Christian religious holiday was really a pagan day of psychedelic mushrooms and worship of fertility gods.

Veterans’ Day trackbacks at Stop the ACLU.

Speaking of Fox, they just posted the results of their Veterans’ Day poll (I can’t find it on their site, so I’m typing this in from the televised results. November 8-9 2005, Margin of error ±3%):

Iraq War Veterans deserve respect for having served their country:
Agree	98%
Disagree	1%

Okay, 98% said the Veterans deserve respect. You got that, right? Now, look at this one:

How most Americans treat Veterans of the Iraq War:
Warm reception	71%
Cool reception	13%
Look the other way	10%

Please explain this to me. Ninety-eight percent of respondents say the Vets deserve respect, yet 13% give them a "cool reception" and 10% "look the other way." In other words, 98% believe Vets deserve respect, but 23% don’t treat them with respect. How do you believe a Veteran deserves respect, then not treat him with respect? Is that like supporting the troops by protesting for the poor oppressed terrorists?

There are a couple of other interesting questions:

Who is winning?
United States	38%
Iraqi "insurgents"	27%
Neither	23%
Don’t know	12%

Recent news coverage of Iraq has focused:
Too much on the negative	52%
Too much on the positive	11%
Given a balanced description	23%
Depends/don’t know	15%

What do you want U.S. troops in Iraq to do?
Stay, finish the job	55%
Leave, come home now	36%

So just like I said before, all those disapproval ratings do not translate into pulling out. And note that 52% of respondents said that news coverage focuses too much on the negative. You’d think the MSM would pay attention, but you know it won’t happen.

Thank a Veteran today. In fact, every time you see one, thank him.

Veterans’ Day open trackbacks at California Conservative.

On Fox, they’re reporting that a whole bunch of frogs are going to meet at the Eiffel Tower and have a “we are the world” march to end the rioting. Oh god, stop, it hurts! It hurts! I can’t laugh this hard!

Bruce Willis rocks.

H/T to Alpha Patriot.

I wasn’t kidding. I really have had it with the bozos we elected, so here is some additional useful info about writing letters.

First, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with writing a frustrated or angry letter. That doesn’t mean it’s okay to be unnecessarily rude, or profane. Put no threats (other than that you won’t vote for them) in your letter, ever! Also, if you are nuts, you probably shouldn’t be writing letters to Congress.

I suggest you write a letter and mail it instead of sending email; many Congresscritters don’t take email as seriously, and some don’t read it at all. Also, each Congresscritter will have a DC address and an address from their home state; send it to both addresses. I also suggest that you cc it to all the following:
