RANT: Religion and gubamint … dangerous together
Friday, September 29, 2006The forbidden op-eds
By Michelle Malkin · September 29, 2006 01:09 PM

I asked yesterday for translations of the op-eds criticizing Islam that have been banned in Egypt and that have forced one of the authors, Robert Redeker, into hiding in France.
***End Quote***
Interesting. The texts of the three articles are here. An hard, but engrossing, read. Clearly, the lesson that was learned from the thirteen original colonies (i.e., “we don’t want those <insert religious slur> from <insert their state> imposing their religion on us good people here in <insert our state>”) demanding freedom of religion. What was “freedom of religion” has today become the religion of political correctness. It demands “freedom from Christian religions” while teaching secular humanism or, even worse, Islam under the guise of religious tolerance. The gubamint should have ZERO role in education. And, here’s the reason why! The government’s only role is to preserve the peace. Nothing more. The dead old white guys were pretty sharp. Unfortunately, they couldn’t predict how dumb we would become and give us a lifeboat. If they could see the mess we have made, they’d be very sad. But they did know what third rail religion could be.

WRITING: Blog 2 Book
Friday, September 29, 2006Since I always wanted to be a published author. (My mom will get a kick out of it.) I’m looking into the Blog 2 Book options. None of the advertised sites make it as easy as it sounds. I was really hoping for “here’s my blog. here’s my credit card” and “thank you for your order. here’s your book.” Not that I am too lazy, but who needs to add another “spinning plate” to the ones I am already trying to keep spinning? Suggestions welcome.
LIBERTY: Another achievement for women in the military

LOUISVILLE, KY. — U.S. Army officials are taking a close look at whether women in a Kentucky National Guard unit posed nude for pictures with their M-16s and other military equipment, authorities said.
A local newspaper reported that it had a disc containing 232 of the photos, which they did not publish, and do not plan to publish, E&P has learned.

Could this be another reason that woman don’t belong in the military?
I have pontificated before that women are too valuable to waste in war. It’s not that they are the “weaker sex”; I know lots of capable strong dangerous women. It’s the survival of the species. In Israel, where these is no safe “rear”, women in the military is a common sense necessity. In the USA, it makes no sense to me.
This particular incident is just embarrassing (i’m bare ass) stupidity. It exemplifies the coarsening of our civil society. And, it just takes private beauty and makes it into public porn.
Sadly shaking my head and wondering what is this world coming to?
