The New Nazism...

Iraq: Images of Iraqi men being rounded up at gunpoint, beaten, herded into lorries and shot dead in a ditch in the desert by a row of masked ISIS fanatics sent shockwaves across the world
Radical Islamist members of ISIS slaughter bound victims in Iraq



Beginning in December of 1941, the United States found itself in World War Two, fighting Japan and Nazi Germany. It was decided to concentrate first on Germany, viewed to be the greater threat.

For over three years, American men and women risked and often sacrificed their lives to extinguish the horror of National Socialism, aka Nazism. The full extent of Nazi crimes against humanity only became apparent as concentration camps were overrun on the eastern and western fronts. 

The free world recoiled, and vowed to eliminate any and all vestiges of Nazi barbarism. By and large, they succeeded. Today, the swastika is banned in Germany. Should some ignorant teenager paint a swastika on a neighborhood stop sign almost anywhere in America, it is declared a hate crime and makes the local TV news and newspapers. It has become a Pavlov's Dog reflex.

Yet, we see the incredible scenes from the Middle East and Kenya, and no governments vow to crush the radical Islamic Nazism of organized murder and genocide. 

This is the new Nazism. Thousands of innocent men, women and children rounded up and machine-gunned simply for being Christian, Shia or members of the military or government.  

Unlike the Nazis, these murderous lunatics don't make any effort to hide their crimes. Indeed, they make a point of posting photos and videos on the internet to frighten and horrify the world.

ISIS fanatics are proud of their crimes. The above photos shows one waving their ISIS banner as they slaughter bound victims while cheering each other on.

Is this to be tolerated by the world, 70 years after Hitler's crimes were discovered, and 60 years after the equally brutal reign of Joseph Stalin ended with his death?

The people of all nations must recognize that radical Islam is at war with the rest of the world. It will commit genocide in the name of Allah, without hesitation or remorse. It will, without blinking, murder your children in their beds. It is the religion of sociopaths. Radical Islam is a horrific blight on the Islamic world. The failure of Islamic peoples to oppose it with more than words is little more than condoning the genocide. Failure to oppose this type of sick, depraved Islam is indicative of cowardliness. It will not go away by ignoring it. This collective insanity is the single greatest threat to civilization today. Does anyone believe that al-Qaida or ISIS would not use a nuclear weapon if they had one (or more than one)? If you don't believe they wouldn't hesitate to murder millions of infidels at any opportunity, I'd call you a fool.

It is time that peace loving nations of the world deal with Radical Islam exactly as was done with Nazism. Eradicate it by any means available. Bring the leaders to justice. To quote Texas style justice, "give 'em a fair trial, followed by a first class hanging". There is no room for kindness or mercy with these mad dogs. Eradication like it is a plague is the only solution left, by their making.

Someone please inform President Obama that freeing Taliban murderers under any guise is nothing less than foolish, and maybe even criminal and treason to the security of the United States. Now that we have Bergdahl back, we should immediately snatch the five Taliban from Qatar and air drop them back into their Afghan tribal area. Sans parachutes, of course....

Treat any nation who shelters or supports these murderers as a hostile nation, destined for the same fate.

The failure to do this will lead to worse crimes, and eventually, threaten the very existence of non-Islamic culture. Send every one of the bastards to their lofty reward.... In Hell.

 Being First Lady Carries Responsibility


 Various recent First Ladies on vacation


There has been a minor debate raging between friends and old acquaintances over how Michelle Obama sometimes dresses. Not that how she dresses is the central issue, but it is the catalyst for arguments for and against her vast expenditures and over-the-top lifestyle as First Lady. I find her general sense of entitlement very distasteful.

Michelle's jet setting around the earth on the public's coin only demonstrates a lack of consideration for the nation she so badly represents. Her vacation expenses to date are three times greater than the past five First Ladies combined, adjusted for inflation. Estimates (because the White House will not release exact figures) are as much as 375 million dollars for Michelle's globetrotting and "vacations". Meanwhile, as many as 100,000 military families must rely on food stamps to feed their children, and have seen what meager benefits that they do have, cut. This incredible wasteful expenditure of the "People's" money is beyond outrageous.

In 1862, Congressional Democrats berated Mary Todd Lincoln for spending $6,000 dollars over budget on decorating and much needed repairs and renovations to the White House. Portions of the family residence hadn't been painted or had carpets replaced since Andrew Jackson was in office. Yet, it is almost certain that Michelle Obama will spend more than 1/2 billion dollars on her vacations and personal entertainment during her husband's two terms. Within the context of this extreme ostentatious lifestyle, is it unreasonable to expect that Michelle properly represent the people who have to pay for her extravagance?

That outfit shown in the attached composite photo is certainly acceptable during private time, on a private beach, resort or hotel. It's fine for informal shopping with her children.

Some are making this a "woman's" (aka "feminist") issue. I don't see this as a feminist issue, but a lack of respect for the dignity and decorum of the First Lady's role, both domestically and internationally. I strongly resent the insinuation that expecting a manner of behavior and appearance commensurate with her position is unfair or the view of a some left leaning folks as misogynist thinking. Nonsense.

It is not acceptable when stepping off of Air Force One, which is universally seen as representing the prestige of the President and the nation he supposedly serves. Walking off of that great symbol of American power and prestige; dressed like a 19 year-old Phys-Ed major, stepping off of a Southwest 737 for spring break in Daytona Beach, is not conducive with the role of First Lady of the United States.
