The terrorists have struck again. Being the craven cowards that they are, they have killed people on vacation, noncombatants all. Their hope is to sap the will Western nations to continue exterminating them. It won’t happen.

Every bomb hardens my will and resolve to assist in any way I can to exterminate these vermin. They are a disease.

The key operating phrase in this story and a worldwide theme that must be discussed: the perpetrators were Islamic militants. To defeat your enemy, you must identify him, understand him and then exterminate him.

I generally try to respect people and their belief systems, but the head choppers got exactly what they should have expected when TheAnarchAngel decided to vent his frustration on their holy book.

Now, the head choppers have issued a fatwah. They want to extinguish his life. Piss on every one of them.

Hat tip goes to the Heartless Libertarian.

Bruce Schneier comments on the dubious value of random searches. Well worth five minutes out of your day.

Keep in mind that this applies to all random searches, including the “drunk driver” checkpoints. The long-term effect is conditioning free people to lower their expectations and accept curtailment of their freedom without solving or even significantly mitigating the problem that “justified” the searches in the first place.

1. I’m a libertarian war hawk
2. I drive fast and aggressive (but still use turn signals)
3. I generally don’t care what others think of me
4. I constantly talk about the negative aspects of government
5. I own lots of guns
6. I shoot those guns all the time
7. I think our tax system is a form of economic slavery
8. I like to take surprise photos of people
9. I dance like a chicken with no head (white boy style)
10. I am neither conservative or liberal

I try to keep an open mind. Really, I do.

But the white Moslem has made me nervous today. He found out I’m going to Iraq and immediately began proselytizing and justifying the resistance to the occupation of Iraq. Yes, the man with the Scottish last name and the Arabic wife lectured me on fatwahs, when it is justified to kill soldiers (do you suppose he was including me) and why the Quran justifies killing unbelievers, among other details.

The world can be a kind of spooky place some days.

We invaded Iraq because Saddam Hussein was a destabilizing influence in the region, wont to attack his neighbors and sow seeds of discontent throughout the Arab nations. Saddam is done and Iraqis are running their own country now, for the most part. But the blind hatred that has been with us from the cave days continues mostly unabated.

I told the white Moslem that I had considered the idea of adopting an Iraqi war orphan. He said that would not be possible because unbelievers are not allowed to raise Muslim children. Intolerance. I hate it in all its manifest forms.

I want to live in a world where we all value the protection of life and the creation of choices and opportunities more than we value the spreading of our own flawed outlook. If you think you have a handle on what God wants for everyone else’s life, here’s a hint - STFU. God doesn’t need self-proclaimed enforcers of His will. I don’t care what your religion is, keep it to yourself unless you’re asked.

If I had to describe myself, I would want to do it as well as Rob. Read a post or two, blogmark him, and then check out his About Me page.

How would you characterize your political leanings: I am a Randian Libertarian in most things. I believe government should exist to provide a standing army, to protect the rights of the unpopular and to prevent anarchy. Otherwise, it should butt the hell OUT OF MY LIFE! I believe we are horribly overtaxed, over-regulated and over-nannied by a government that is bloated, incompetent and staffed largely by people who can’t find their asses with both hands. Our politicians are whores and our bureaucrats are brain-dead. I suppose I might be called a Radical Individualist. Yeah, that’s ME.

I love the unvarnished truth, even when it’s not to my advantage.

I’m usually the first one to criticize government. Ask anyone who has ever met me.

I despise the IRS. I mock the TSA. I criticize the ATF. I love to call out members of Congress by name for a verbal browbeating. I think most of the legislation coming out of Washington is bad for the country. The Republicans want to legislate too much on issues of personal morality. The Democrats want us all drooling and dumb, unable to fight our way through life ourselves.

But the Bush bashing is getting ridiculous. The anti-Bush crowd makes the anti-Clinton crowd look positively magnanimous.

Just visit whywehateBush.com.

Here’s a list of why they think people hate Bush:

1. Bush and his oligarchic companions sabotaged American democracy so they could pillage taxpayer resources.
2. Bush and his cabal of henchmen lied to the American people about Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq, and they continue to obfuscate the truth while their companies cash in, Iraqis suffer and American soldiers die.
3. Bush is bad for business and the economy. He is only interested in enriching himself and his friends.
4. Bush is bad for the future. He is compromising the prosperity of tomorrow’s America by shortchanging today’s children.
5. Bush is bad for the environment.
6. The Bush Administration has manipulated the media to the point of undermining the Constitutional guarantees of a Free Press.
7. Bush has tried to undermine the United Nations, a democratic institution created in large measure by Presidents Eisenhower and Truman. Without even understanding what the UN does, Bush has called it “irrelevant” when it fails to fall in line with his dictates.
8. Bush is inarticulate and projects a stereotype abroad of Americans being ignorant and myopic.
9. Bush torpedoes global agreements on everything from racism and global warming to biological weapons and land mines, and then expects the world to line up behind him.
10. Bush took positive patriotism and global support in the wake of 9/11 and forced it behind his own narrow self-interest in Iraq. He hijacked 9/11 for his own benefit.
11. Bush stands against everything America stands for.

That’s all fine and dandy. I’m not Bush fan No. 1, that much is certain. But people, where do you live? What are your priorities? A lot of your complaints are silly, and the vitriol you spew reminds me of myself when I was 5, except that I was more mature when I threw a tantrum. You’re all holding hands and rocking back and forth and popping Wellbutrin as quickly as you can, crying in your soup and watching that fat piece of shit Michael Moore over and over again while you rehearse your tired mantra that Bush is fighting an illegal war in Iraq, yadda yadda yadda.

Please.

The problems with American government don’t flow from Bush. He’s not the source of the river of corruption in Washington. He’s not the reason that Americans are hated in many parts of the world. George W. Bush is a man with a shitty job doing the best he knows how, as far as I can tell from the information available to me. He has at least 52 million supporters right here in the United States. Get over it.

If you want to make this country better, pick a cause worth fighting for. Bush will be gone in a few years. Why don’t you spend your time getting ready for the next leader of the free world? Your whining and self-commiseration is doing no one any good.

Michael Yon is a former American soldier and is currently serving as a freelance journalist in Iraq. Please join me in supporting him financially. I just made a Paypal donation and would encourage those of you who support what our troops are doing in Iraq to do the same.

It doesn’t sound like there’s much doubt that Spartanburg teen Cory Williamson, 17, raped a dog. The dog, Princess, later died from internal bleeding.

When I got here we were laying on the deck looking at him and he had his pants down and he was doing sexual activity with the dog like a man would do to a woman.”

–Sylvia Jones, Princess’ owner

Some people are born to serve as an example to others of what not to do. If Cory Williamson is convicted of raping a dog, he should be euthanized. This is digusting. Even worse, he has also been accused of molesting little girls in the neighborhood.

Had I come home from work to find Cory Williamson raping one of my dogs, I would probably be facing manslaughter charges at this time.

Read the whole story if you can stomach it.

BAGHDAD, Iraq — A car bomber sped up to American soldiers distributing candy to children and detonated his explosives Wednesday, killing up to 27 other people, U.S. and Iraqi officials said. One U.S. soldier and about a dozen children were among the dead.”

My enemy is pathetic, and my enemy saddens me. For my enemy is craven. I can understand being angry enough, or sick enough, or depressed enough to take one’s own life. Since a human being, in my belief system, owns his or her own life, I have no issue with you if you wish to commit suicide.

When you blow up children along with yourself you are a cretin. If Allah smiles on such human offal, then Allah is unworthy of worship. I’m starting to wonder if the Middle East is host to the world’s largest population of adult retards.

This is why I rejoined the armed forces of the United States. To wipe out these baby killing, self-loathing, hate worshipping morons and stop their pointless quest to deprive others of life.

Anyone who has read my blog more than once should have a clear idea that I have quite a number of points on which I am disatisfied with Western civilization and with the current system of American government. I do not feel represented by the current crop of elected leaders in Washington, D.C. The American political process is obviously dangerously close to be broken. I could march into a random crowd and blow myself up, sure. But I long ago learned that kicking oneself in the ass as hard as possible is counterproductive.

If you are considering becoming a human murder bomb, it would serve you well to remember that all you are doing is hardening the hearts of all those who witness your imbecilic act of meaninglessness.

Allow an infidel to quote the Quran to you. “Respect and honor all human beings irrespective of their religion, color, race, sex, language, status, property, birth, profession/job and so on [17/70]”

May Allah reject all those who spit upon the life He created and cast you into darkness.
