Islam Goes Beyond the Pale, Again!

As if anyone needed more proof of the insanity engendered by Islam -- just look to the ruckus created by the publishing of cartoons depicting the prophet Mohammed in certain satirical situations.

Christianity has managed to maintain a modicum of dignity in spite of the depiction of the Savior in a boxing ring on South Park. Islam could take note of the equanimity of a majority of Christians. We don't like it, but we don't burn down buildings and set fire to cars, etc. They're cartoons, for crying out loud. It sure isn't art!

The extremists (and there sure seem to be a lot of them) who are out to protect Islam from whatever event that gets them riled up would do well to spend as much energy venting against the brethren who give Islam an awful reputation by blowing up innocents.

Islam is not so much a dogma of peace and dignity as a canon looking for something to make them mad. "Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad."

So, could the sinking of that ferry in the Red Sea be a little message from God expressing His almighty displeasure at the methods, means and message of Islam that seems to continually function from a position of rage, resentment and antagonism?

Idiocy on the Left

Nobody has taken Maxine Waters (D-CA) seriously for a long while. Now the lead kook of the kook fringe of the Democratic party has renewed calls for impeachment of the President.

Angry since Bush "stole" the presidency from Algore in 2000, this element of the Left simply wants that election, and the re-election of 2004 undone. Their concept is to put it back the way it should have been before the Supreme Court ruled that Florida could not continue to recount endlessly until the election came out the way the Dems wanted it.

Two elements stand in the way of an impeachment and removal from office. First, the House is loaded with enough Republicans that an order of impeachment is unlikely. Second, the facts will prevent the Republican majority in the Senate from finding the President guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors necessary for removal from office.

There's another element the Kook Left hasn't considered apparently. There's one member of the Bush Administration that the Left hates more than Bush. That is, of course, the Vice President. Should Bush be removed from office by an impeachment trial, who do you suppose would succeed to the office to fill out the remainder of the term?

Of course, the kook fringe probably thinks they've already got enough dirty laundry on Cheney to impeach him, too! It just shows that the Left doesn't give a damn about the nation. Two impeachment trials within two years would tear this country apart. All the Left cares about is their own political agenda. Hating the US as they do, they are ready to fractionalize this nation until we become paralized and equivalent to Portugal, Senegal or Brazil.

So, once again, America has good reason to ignore Maxine Waters and others like her who haven't the common sense to look down the road and see the effects of their political agenda.
