Support the 1st Amendment - Draw Mo

Due to the recent calls for violence against many artists in Europe and America because of depictions of Mohammed, any depictions, not just "offensive" ones, Dan Savage has declared May 20, 2010 as Everybody Draw Mohammed Day.

Michael C. Moynihan at Reason has taken the ball and run with it.

I will be employing my tremendous skill as an illustrator, of course, and expect that my colleagues will do the same. If they refuse, they will be declared weak-kneed, namby-pamby, quisling infidels and will be shamed on this blog (Though such idle threats rarely work these days; perhaps I could threaten them with a painful death, which seems to do the trick). If readers would like to show their solidarity, please email your Mohammad masterpieces to me here: mmoynihan at reason.com. The best ones will be published on Hit & Run, which, along with the concomitant death threat, is reward enough.

Allah Pundit at Hot Air is spreading the word.

So, all of you artists out there....heck, non-artists too, be creative. Draw Mohammad. Send it in. Show how much you respect those thugs that threaten civilized people.

I'm Going To Join The Anti-War Movement

If this so-called leader we have been saddled with will not give our Warriors what they need, when they need it, then I have no choice but to insist that all military personnel be withdrawn from Afghanistan and Iraq immediately. While The Chosen One (may peace and a prize be upon him) is wallowing in the idolatry and adulation of the Nobel Prize Committee and the worlds adoration of his less than stellar accompishments, we have men and women voluntarily putting their lives on the line every day and dying for peace.

Obama is nothing but an empty suit so far outside of his pay grade its sickening.

Alluhpundit says, "It’s one thing to lose men when you’re trying to win the war, it’s another to lose the war but save Americans’ lives in withdrawing, but it’s something else entirely to keep men in the line of fire with no hope (or even a plan) of victory".

And I have to concur. My heart goes out to the unsupported troops in harm's way today with a Commander in Chief who seems to be trying to get more Americans killed.

On July 15, 2008, Candidate Obama said:
"Our troops and our NATO allies are performing heroically in Afghanistan, but I have argued for years that we lack the resources to finish the job because of our commitment to Iraq. That's what the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said earlier this month. And that's why, as President, I will make the fight against al Qaeda and the Taliban the top priority that it should be. This is a war that we have to win."

Of course, that was before the election.

Obama lies while soldiers die.

Lets not forget that the Tallyban are the ones who kill women for being "accused" of infidelity or allowing themselves to be raped; (after all it's the womens fault, she was asking for it by being outside) they throw acid on teen-aged girls for the crime of getting an education, and will use civilians and mosques as shields.

WASHINGTON — A senior administration official says President Barack Obama is prepared to accept some Taliban involvement in Afghanistan's political future and is inclined to send only as many more U.S. troops to Afghanistan as are needed to keep al-Qaida at bay. Keep al Qaeda at bay? What the hell happened to defeating them??? What happened to being all pissed off at Pakistan for making peace treaties with the Taliban?

Mark Warner admits that government run healthcare is Un-Constitutional

but doesn't care. His excuse is basically, "Everybody else is ignoring the Constitution, so its OK for me to forswear MY oath of office to uphold it."

So to speak....
