Saturday Evening Rant: 9/11 Trials
So, once again, I'm sorry for not writing on my blog. School's just crazy as heck, no kidding.
Before I jump into this messy gack, let me say that, if Steven Crowder ever *shakes head* reads this, this is for you: YOUR TWEETS ARE HIL-AR-IOUS. (yes, I did separate them, so read it as you see it.)
Anyways...
Michael Mukasey, the attorney general at the end of President Bush's second term, ripped his successor's decision to prosecute the Sept. 11 conspirators in a federal court, saying the trial will give jihadists a forum and could compromise delicate intelligence.
Mukasey, in an interview with Fox News, called the civilian trial announced Friday by Attorney General Eric Holder "the wrong place, under the wrong circumstances, in the wrong forum."
"After 9/11, we recognized that we were at war," he said, arguing that military tribunals were created for this kind of case and noting that they have been used since the Revolutionary War and during and after World War II.
"There are forums that allow the presentation of evidence in a controlled atmosphere, where you can limit access to classified information, and where you can receive evidence gathered on the battlefield, not necessarily under the kinds of conditions in which police gather evidence in a conventional case," he said. "That's not true in federal court."
On Friday, Holder announced that the self-proclaimed Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other Guantanamo detainees will be tried in federal court in New York for their alleged role in the attacks that killed 2,976 American civilians -- saying the U.S. will seek the death penalty against the defendants.
Holder said he decided to seek justice against the suspects in federal court rather than a military tribunal because the attacks targeted civilians on U.S. soil. But Mukasey and other critics say the attack was an act of war that should be prosecuted in a military tribunal.
Mukasey said it's unlikely that Mohammed will be acquitted because of his confession and other evidence linking him to the attack. But he added that same evidence could present problems in federal court.
"The real problem is that there is other evidence that may very well come from classified sources, that would be easier to handle in a military tribunal, much harder to handle in a civilian tribunal," Mukasey said.
He added that the trial also puts the terrorists on the kind of stage they seek.
"They want to be on a big stage and there's no bigger stage than New York," he said. source
Now, I have to admit, I actually had to *gasp* think on this one. So that's what my brains for... just kidding... I'm finally on the same level as most libs. No offense ;)
I agree w/ the fact that they deserve the death sentence, I do not know how I feel about the whole "trial thing." These dudes obviously want attention, I mean, ya don't just go killing Americans so no one will ever know your name. And apparently, they have a deep, festering (that word always reminds me of Fester Addams) hate towards America. Which, fine. If you wanna hate America, sadly, I cannot stop you. And, sorry Obama, resoning with them about that hate is like resoning with a 2 year old right before bath time.
I say, which the liberals are gonna freak out about this, that we skip the whole trail and just give 'em the death sentence. We know they commited this crime, so why are we having a tea party in court? Hm? The libs seem to think resoning (ha) with mental people (seriously, these dudes aren't far from it) is gonna work. Yeah, along with giving them lollipops. Seriously, why do they think these people even wanna talk to us? Hm? You dunno, do ya? CUZ NO ONE DOES!!!!
That's just it, no one, I repeat, no one can understand the libs. Maybe themselves, but even then, they're still afraid of the big bad monster named Limbaugh/ Beck who lives in their closet. (If you wanna see something that'll give you nightmares for a month, watch this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvSytKst4ZM It probably won't scare you, but it could. :D)
I'm sorry, but, this isn't a good idea. If we know they're guilty, why put 'em on trial? It's like giving your kid a lollipop when he deserves a good spanking for biting his little sister (we'll name her Sally)
Well, then, that's enough ranting for a Saturday night. Until tomorrow, or probably next week...if I have time, so it could be a couple of weeks, maybe months...
Nah, I'll try and update this thang more.
So, uh, live long and vote Conservative!

Palin + Beck= Stalin?! Oh, Give Me a Break...
So, tonight (or whatever time of day you're reading this) I'm a-gonna be talking about The New York Times' article on Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin.
Those people actually had the nerve to compare them to Stalin?! Why aren't they being attacked, and called racist?! If we dare to compare (ha, I'm such a poet) Obama to HItler, it's all, "You're a racist hatemonger!" And they do this and they just blow raspberries in our faces like everyone is 5 years old again. "Look at what I can get away with!" It's seriously like they're being the disobedient child, and we're the good child who gets blamed for everything while they're the ones making trouble. How can that even work? I mean, excuse me for not agreeing with Obama (because his views and twisted and misguided). But I'm not really in the mood to be called a racist, hatemonger, or whatever else gets hurled this way.
Maybe it's just me, but I don't enjoy seeing reporters bowing down at his feet chanting, "Obama! Obama!" cuz everytime they do, I start "mmm-ing." just for the fun of it.
Fox News, 1# I respect them, is they are "fair and balanced," something CNN and MSNBC cannot seem to grasp how to do.
I seriously am so tired of hearing Gibbs, Emanuel, Dunn, etc. avoiding the questions about why they're attacking Fox (besides the fact that it's "not a real news source") and talking about Mother Theresa and Mao Se Tung.
Anyways, I'm getting off topic again.
Bottom line here, Beck and Palin are no where near as manic as Stalin. He killed millions of people. Now, look around, who has Beck or Palin killed? The feminists like to attack Palin cuz she wouldn't kill her baby. (Abortion is murder, ladies, which ever way you look at it. You're tunnel vision is quite problematic)
So, why aren't they getting attacked? Well, you have the Kennedy's and Obama's (and other libs) who are all chanting abortion from the sidelines cheering it on.
'scuse me, don't you have kids? Would you have killed your children? Would you have killed the innocent little warm face that as it took its first breath in this new world brought you years of memories? Does the fact that it's a human mean nothing to you? Apparently, the Kennedy's have no problem with murder, Ted Kennedy was a show of true colors, wouldn't you agree?
I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, please, but does anyone realize that no one has said anything 'bout this story? I only found this out from my parents. I'm sure if someone called Anita Dunn or one of the Kennedy's or Heaven forbid, one of the Obama's a sadistic, masochistic leader, they would be like, attacked and maybe thrown in the dungeon...jk, I wouldn't expect them to that...or should I?
Bottom line, people enjoy targeting other people without looking at the people from their own parties. Do the libs even give half a wit about the crazies Obama's put into office? Or are they to busy pointing fingers at the GOP? (which I might add, I don't always agree with meself. There's times where I wanna start my own party. The Party of Conservative Patriots...or The Party of Cool People in Peacoats...though that could require everyone to buy a peacoat, they might objec to that...)
Nice rant, huh? :)
Sad news for Steven Crowder fans, no article this week! Aah! Which probably means no vid..darn! Thursday is Crowder Day for moi. Sad, yes, but true. here's the link to his twitter page
Though I have to admit, I'm proud of him for going overseas...that's more than Obama's doing...
Luv, Palin, and Crowder..

Bahaha this hardly is news but haha
I'm sure you're wondering why I haven't updated this, it's been like 10 days. Too long...
Anyways, this morning (it's morning as I write this) I'm going to write about um, this
(source)
AMERICAN FORK, Utah — A rap by four teenagers at a McDonald's has gotten them a bad rap in one Utah city.
The teens were cited by American Fork police earlier this week for disorderly conduct after they rapped their order at a McDonald's drive-through.
The teens said they were imitating a popular video on YouTube. They rapped their order, which begins with, "I need a double cheeseburger and hold the lettuce ..." once quickly before repeating it more slowly.
Spenser Dauwalder said employees at the restaurant told him and his friends they were holding up the line and needed to order or leave.
The 18-year-old said nobody was in line. He and his three 17-year-old friends left without buying anything.
American Fork Police Sgt. Gregg Ludlow says a manager wrote down the car's license plate number and called police. The teens were later cited by officers at a high school parking lot outside a volleyball match.
"We thought, you know, just teenagers out having fun," Dauwalder told KSL Newsradio. "We didn't think it would escalate to that."
Disorderly conduct citations are issued when someone does something to cause annoyance or alarm, Ludlow said. The citation is an infraction similar to a speeding ticket, Ludlow said.
"It was not just that they were rapping, they continued to hold things up," Ludlow said.
Ludlow said the teens were asked several times to speak plainly and that ultimately the manager came outside.
The owner-operator of the American Fork McDonald's said in a statement that the issue was about employees' safety.
"The employee in question felt that her safety was at risk as a result of the alleged actions of these individuals in the drive-thru, not as a result of them rapping their order," franchisee Conny Kramer said in the statement. "As such, she contacted the local authorities."
But Sharon Dauwalder, Spenser's mother, said they will fight it nonetheless.
"We have to," she told The Associated Press on Thursday. "The citation is there."
Bahaha, I'm sorry but I find this hilarious. This hardly classifies as rant material, but haha, I can't keep a straight face reading this. Now, in my opinion, correct me if I'm wrong, this would classify as ding-dong-ish boys. Wooden spoons...anyone? :)
The video they were referencing is below, I thought you might like to see it...
I'll post a more interesting post in a few minutes, give or take, I hope.
Love, Palin, and Crowder...

His Approval Rating Dropped...Again? Gee, What a Shock.
Here's something that probably won't surprise you, people are losing faith in Obama. Hm, I wonder why? Whatever could he be doing wrong?
A new poll says that Americans, concerned over the future of health care reform and anxious about the growing federal budget deficit, are losing faith in President Obama.
The Washington Post-ABC News survey found that less that half of Americans -- 49 percent -- say they believe the president will make the right decisions for the country. That's down from 60 percent at the 100-day mark of the Obama presidency.
The poll published Friday says Obama's overall approval is 57 percent, 12 points lower than it was at its peak in April. Fifty-three percent disapprove of the way he's handling the budget deficit and his approval on health care continues to deteriorate.
The national survey was conducted Aug. 13-17 and has a sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points {source}
Maybe it's the health care reform he's shoving through faster than I can chug a gallon of water.
Or the stimulus money he was giving out as party favors?
Or that he doesn't care what America thinks, he knows everything about everything?
Or maybe everyone's racist? You know us conservatives, we're just a bunch of hypocritical, know-it-all, closet racists. yeah, of course we are... ;-) I'm surprised ABC News hasn't piped up blaming it on race yet. Wait and see...they'll say something on the matter...of course they will.
Oh, well, I'm not gonna say I told you so. Or maybe I am. I predicted this would happen eventually...hehe
Love, Palin, and Crowder...

A Killer is Released...Goody Gumdrops...Hooray...NOT!
Found this story here
The man responsible for the 1988 Lockerbie bombing returned home to Libya on Thursday to cheering crowds, and throngs of people waving posters of the convicted killer, who flew to his native country to die after Scotland released him from prison.
Scotland's decision to free Abdel Baset al-Megrahi outraged some relatives of the 270 people killed when the jetliner blew up over a Scottish town.
Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, 57, spent roughly 11 days behind bars for each victim in the bombing. President Barack Obama said the decision to free the terminally ill bomber on compassionate grounds was a mistake and warned Libya not to give him a hero's welcome.
But thousands were on hand to greet him warmly when his plane from Scotland touched down at a military airport in Tripoli. There was a festive atmosphere with some wearing t-shirts with al-Megrahi's picture. Others waved Libyan and Scottish flags while Libyan songs blared.
The White House declared it "deeply" regretted the Scottish decision as Abdel Baset al-Megrahi left prison and flew to Libya on an Airbus dispatched to Glasgow Airport.
Scotland's justice secretary said freeing the bomber was an expression of the Scottish people's humanity but U.S. family members of Lockerbie victims expressed outrage.
"I think it's appalling, disgusting and so sickening I can hardly find words to describe it," said Susan Cohen of Cape May Court House, New Jersey, whose 20-year-old daughter, Theodora, died in the attack. "This isn't about compassionate release. This is part of give-al-Qaddafi -what-he-wants-so-we-can-have-the-oil."
Some men outside the prison made obscene gestures as al-Megrahi's prison van drove by toward the airport.
Al-Megrahi, who had served only eight years of his life sentence, was recently given only months to live after being diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer.
Scottish Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill said although al-Megrahi had not shown compassion to his victims — many of whom were American college students flying home to New York for Christmas — MacAskill was motivated by Scottish values to show mercy.
"Some hurts can never heal, some scars can never fade," MacAskill said. "Those who have been bereaved cannot be expected to forget, let alone forgive ... However, Mr. al-Megrahi now faces a sentence imposed by a higher power."
Al-Megrahi was convicted in 2001 of taking part in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 on Dec. 21, 1988. He was sentenced to life in prison. The airliner exploded over Scotland and all 259 people aboard and 11 on the ground died when it crashed into the town of Lockerbie.
The former Libyan intelligence officer was sentenced to serve a minimum of 27 years in a Scottish prison for Britain's deadliest terrorist attack. But a 2007 review of his case found grounds for an appeal of his conviction, and many in Britain believe he is innocent.
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Thursday the United States disagreed with the decision to free al-Megrahi.
"We continue to believe that Megrahi should serve out his sentence in Scotland," Gibbs said. "On this day, we extend our deepest sympathies to the families who live every day with the loss of their loved ones."
"I don't understand how the Scots can show compassion. It's an utter insult and utterly disgusting," said Kara Weipz, of Mount Laurel, New Jersey, whose 20-year-old brother Richard Monetti was on board Pan Am Flight 103. "It's horrible. I don't show compassion for someone who showed no remorse."
MacAskill said he stood by al-Megrahi's conviction and the sentence for "the worst terrorist atrocity ever committed on U.K. soil."
He said he ruled out sending the bomber back to Libya under a prisoner-transfer agreement, saying the U.S. victims had been given assurances that al-Megrahi would serve out his sentence in Scotland. But he said that as a prisoner given less than three months to live by doctors, al-Megrahi was eligible for compassionate release.
Later Thursday, MacAskill released a letter from al-Megrahi, appealing for mercy.
"I am a family man: first and foremost I am a son, husband, father and grandfather," al-Megrahi wrote. "I have been separated from my family as a result of what I consider and unjust conviction. I have tried to bear that with a degree of equanimity and dignity."
Compassionate release is an established feature of the British judicial system when a prisoner is near death. According to officials, there have been 30 requests for release on compassionate grounds in Scotland over the last decade, 23 of which were approved.
Al-Megrahi's return will be a landmark event in Libya and a cause for celebration. His countrymen see him as an innocent victim scapegoated by the West in a campaign to turn their country into an international pariah. Many will also view his release as a moral victory for their country.
Yet it was not immediately clear exactly how al-Megrahi would be received Thursday night. He could be taken to meet Libyan leader Muammar Al-Qaddafi or appear at an annual rally held every year on Aug. 20 for Libyans to hear a progress report from al-Qaddafi's son, Saif al-Islam Qaddafi , on projects he is working on.
However, al-Megrahi may also go directly to a hospital if he needs immediate medical care.
Qaddafi engineered a rapprochement with his former critics following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. He renounced terrorism, dismantled Libya's secret nuclear program, accepted his government's responsibility for the Lockerbie bombing and paid compensation to the victims' families.
Western energy companies — including Britain's BP PLC — have moved into Libya in an effort to tap the country's vast oil and gas wealth.
Qaddafi lobbied hard for the return of al-Megrahi, an issue that took on added urgency when al-Megrahi was diagnosed with cancer last year.
Freeing al-Megrahi divided the Lockerbie victims' families, with many in Britain in favor and many in the U.S. adamantly opposed.
Al-Megrahi had been a known figure in the Scottish community near his prison, receiving regular treatment at the hospital. He was visited often by his wife and children, who lived in Scotland for several years.
Briton Jim Swire, whose daughter Flora died on Flight 103, welcomed the Libyan's release, saying many questions remained about what led to the bomb that exploded in the cargo hold.
"I think he should be able to go straight home to his family and spend his last days there," Swire told the BBC. "I don't believe for a moment this man was involved in the way he was found to be involved."
Among the Lockerbie victims was John Mulroy, the AP's director of international communication, who died along with five members of his family.
Ugh, this is just so maddening!
So, this dude goes around people and we just "show him mercy." The government could get a few tips from Davy Jones (POC) "spare no mercy, arg." (Alright, that's not a real quote, but it could work, right? No, maybe not)
Anyways, back to the topic, this is just so unfair I can't believe it. So, hows about we go out and shoot a bunch of people, do you think we'll recieve mercy? Uh, no! In the end, it probably just boils down to a couple of facts
A) He's not white, (I mean, Heaven forbid we show mercy to someone not brown or black.)
B) We gotta keep relations cool with other countries round ye world. Right...
More than anything, I feel for the families. How would it feel to find out that the person who killed your beloved child or wife or husband was released because people wanted him to die in peace? Not really gonna make you feel fuzzy inside, at least I hope not. The families are suffering more than anyone.
Okay, so the dude has cancer, uh, that's sad, but he's a killer. Deep down, I can't really call him a person truthfully, because like J.K Rowling wrote "killing rips apart the soul." (again, not the exact quote, I couldn't find it. She's talking about Voldemort's horcruxes, fyi) Killing really changes a person, and that's why I don't have a whole lot of sympathy. I mean, I'm sorry him or anyone has cancer, don't get me wrong. I do value human life, believe me, I do. But for someone to take away innocent people's life, well, they do lose a little (okay, more than a little) respect from me. Then again, who am I? Just a teenager...simply that.
Yeah, well, there's some happy stuff for the day...jk

Free Money? What?!
Have you heard about this?
A $200 back-to-school giveaway for needy kids sparked a mad rush for money on the streets of New York on Tuesday.
"It's free money!" said Alecia Rumph, 26, who waited in a Morris Park, Bronx, line 300 people deep for the cash to buy uniforms and book bags for her two kids.
"Thank God for Obama. He's looking out for us."
Thousands of people lined up at banks and check-cashing shops to withdraw the cash that magically appeared on their electronic benefit cards.
Some rushed out because of rumors the money would vanish by the end of the day.
"Rumors, there's always rumors," said Teresa Medina, who waited four hours at a Pay-O-Matic in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, to get $600 for her three teenagers - just in case they were true.
The no-strings-attached money went to families receiving food stamps or welfare.
Every child between 3 and 17 was eligible for $200, which worked out to 813,845 kids across the state - including 498,866 in the city. {source}
That's great! NOT! The last thing we need to be doing during these crazy times is handing out free money to lower income peeps.
Truthfully, if Obama was really "looking out for us," he'd be trying to create more jobs so these parents wouldn't be forced to stand in line like this.
Welfare, is really just an excuse not to find work. Think about it, you have money for things you want/need and you don't even have to go anything with your life. Great, right? Wrong.
Now, I'm fine with these type of people being on welfare:
A) Out of work. BUT, only for a couple of months. Anything over a year is just ridiculous.
B) Legally immigrated (emphasis of legally) and need help getting started. Only with the getting started part.
C)Ill with something that makes it impossible to work. Only for a while though.
I'm not a supporter of welfare by any means. But, those 3 are the only ones I think are acceptable. You have your views, and they probably differ from mine. ;)
Well, off to the gym...

Obama Girls Mentioned In An Ad? Oh My, They're Being Used As a Publicity Stunt? Huh?
I know everyone's talking about the health care reform and everything else, but I decided to talk about a story that kind of made me think...
This poster (below) is causing another controversy coming about.
Apparently, the people at the White House are getting gunchy because a Washington non-profit organization has been putting this poster up in the Union Station Train depot.
The ad features 8-year-old Jasmine Messiah from Florida who has been writing letters to her senators and Representatives to try and get healthier lunches in the cafeteria. She complains that there are no vegetarian or vegan lunches, as she is a vegetarian.
Their argument is that child obesity is at an "all-time high."
Well, Robert Gibbs got defensive and said this:
"Without getting into the specifics, we've been very clear, I think, from even before the administration started, that their two girls would have a very private life, and we want to protect that private life and their privacy,'' He stated, "And we hope that others will be respectful, as many in the media have been, about not using the girls as a publicity stunt.'' (quote found here)
Oh, yes, it would be very mean to be attack to the president's daughters... Since when is this a "publicity stunt"? The company didn't even mention their names! If they said, "Malia and Sasha Obama get healthy lunches why don't I?" then I could sort of understand, I suppose.
Of course the media has been respectful, the two girls aren't really old enough to be like, out there. So they can't really "do anything." How suck-up-ish would it be if the media was like, "Today the lovely Obama girls went shopping today with their marvelous mother, Michelle. The three-some had so much fun." That would sound more like a People magazine article instead of hard-hitting journalism. Just sayin'
Lastly, I 150% agree with this ad, all children deserve to have good school lunches. Not that I'm saying we all should be the same, that's like Communism. Not a believer in that. Ya think? But, I do support the ad, and the little girl, so Jasmine, rock on!
Oh, well, that's just my 2 cents on the whole matter...
Love, Palin, and Crowder...

Hillary Clinton Blows Up! Aah! Have You Noticed I Scream A LOT!
Y'all might have seen the collected (yeah right) Hillary Clinton incident in Congo?
Well, Hillary got all freaked out when her translator misunderstood a university student asking her opinion on "an international financial matter."
"You want me to tell you what my husband thinks?" she replied incredulously when the male student asked her what "Mr. Clinton" thought of World Bank concerns about a multi-billion-dollar Chinese loan offer to the Congo.
"My husband is not secretary of state, I am," an obviously annoyed Clinton said sharply. "If you want my opinion, I will tell you my opinion. I am not going to be channeling my husband." (Scroll down for video)
The question was left unanswered as the moderator of the event quickly moved on. <source>
Take a chill pill!
So, your translator misinterprets, and it's like watching the Hulk! (Not that I'm saying she's green and big or anything) Calm down, Hils, it'll be okay. Breathe in, breathe out.
He meant to say Obama not Clinton. Wow, just amazing. She and the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland have the same problem...temper!
Another thing I was thinking about, is why the heck is she in Congo? Shouldn't she be the one greeting the girls who were released, or dealing with the Middle East? Why Congo?
Some people, not shockingly, have been doubting her maturity and wondering if she was really ready to hold this position. I've found myself wondering the same thing. Hmm...
Oh, well...no use ranting too much.
