civil war: A war between factions of the same country; there are five criteria for international recognition of this status: the contestants must control territory, have a functioning government, enjoy some foreign recognition, have identifiable regular armed forces, and engage in major military operations.

In other words, what's goin on in Palestine is a civil war, but in Iraq, not so much.

Secular Progressive Idiots at Wikipedia

They are still over there trashing James P. Hogan.
Man get a life, people.

Hogan logically trashes the darwinists and global-warming idiots,
so they smear his biographical entry.

Sigh.

Welcome Back Tony Snow

"Reporters inflate the importance of mediocre sources by means of grandiose titles."

Tony Snow

Ever wonder how someone makes a living as a "peace activist" ? I'm just putting up a Snow quote to celebrate his return to work. You wouldnt believe the amount of left-wing cartoonists that hate Mr. Snow for shining such harsh light on their pet causes.

Sad but True.

Well my laptop got stolen . . . Thus blogging and other related important activities have gone poo-poo. I had backups of 90% of what was on my laptop, but its that 5% left over that gets ya. Also my digi-cam was in the bag, so my photo-blogging will take a big hit also. However, since I'm getting a new laptop, I'm getting a great one.

Birthday of Mine

The Rebuilder turns 44 today.
Later today my mum will call me,
and remind me for the 43rd time how much
snow was on the ground that fateful day in the 60s.

Picture of Mrs. Rebuilder:

no better present I have.

I left my blog on auto-pilot for a few days and it generated no content whatsoever. And so my readership dropped in half. from 2 to 1.

Whenever I do get more content on my blog, I'll write more about me, and my activities, and the things I do, and the stuff I own. that will be what people want to read I feel.

Ann Coulter calls it like she sees It.

Ann Coulter did not call anyone names, per se. She implied a deserving of a moniker, and referenced a current tv show's drama, that's all. Tone back your outrage and laugh a little. please.

" We must show that inflaming prejudice to attack progressive leaders will only backfire. Can you help us raise $100,000 in “Coulter Cash” this week to keep this campaign charging ahead and fight back against the politics of bigotry? "

---

"Damn, Silky Pony, that kind of cash will buy a LOT of pedicures, full body massages and boxes of chocolate to soothe your bruised, limp-wristed ego.

---

Heck, you might even be able to get those highlights that you always wanted put in your carefully coiffed mane. (Don’t worry, I already bought “homophobe offsets” from LC Mope, so there’s no need to denounce me just yet. I’m “slur neutral.”) People who routinely refer to Bush as Hilter, Chimp or Dumbya or who routinely refer to Ann Coulter as Mann Coulter are outraged? "

Can the lead scouts see the edge of liberal hypocrisy yet ? (radio silence follows)

HOWARD DEAN, THE favorite to be the next head of the Democratic National Committee, made his case in midtown yesterday, promising to make his party operate more like the GOP - at least when it comes to elections.

"I hate the Republicans and everything they stand for, but I admire their discipline and their organization,"... "We can talk about our faith, but we cannot change our faith," he said, echoing themes he sounded in his presidential bid. "We need to be people of conviction."

---

Actually, I love Ann more every day. I recently heard someone on the Right say that sometimes we need to say some things out loud instead of just thinking them. That’s what Ann does. She effectively tells the Left, “Either you believe in free speech or your don’t!” The fact that people on the Right would freak out about calling an effete sissy like Edwards a name is simply proof that we’ve bought into their schtick.

Go Get'em Ann !

Yea! 300 posts, does that mean I get some slur credits, photo opportunities, or book deals?

My Katrina story could make a good movie of the week, I feel.
The Warhammer 40K stories, not so much.

1. Gathering of Eagles is non-partisan. While each member has his or her own political beliefs, our common love and respect for America and her heroes is what brings us together.

2. We are a non-violent, non-confrontational group. We look to defend, not attack. Our focus is guarding our memorials and their grounds.

3. We believe that the war memorials are sacred ground; as such, we will not allow them to be desecrated, used as props for political statements, or treated with anything less than the solemn and heartfelt respect they–and the heroes they honor–deserve.

4. We are wholly and forever committed to our brothers and sisters in uniform. As veterans, we understand their incredible and noble sacrifices, made of their own accord for a nation they love more than life itself. As family members, we stand by them, and as Americans, we thank God for them.

5. We believe in and would give our lives for the precious freedoms found in our Constitution. We believe that our freedom of speech is one of the greatest things our country espouses, and we absolutely hold that any American citizen has the right to express his or her approval or disapproval with any policy, law, or action of our nation and her government in a peaceful manner as afforded by the laws of our land.

6. However, we are adamantly opposed to the use of violence, vandalism, physical or verbal assaults on our veterans, and the destruction or desecration of our memorials. By defending and honoring these sacred places, we defend and honor those whose blood gave all of us the right to speak as freely as our minds think.

Meeting

Here's a pic of the speech in progress. While I read the descriptions, a slideshow had detailed pix, and then the rest of thecrew held up signs that showed the names of all the projects. It seemed the posters being carried by person who participated made much more impact than just me droning along to another power point presentation. We got several compliments on the meeting. Several of the items covered were of course Katrina Rebuilding trips.

" Pacifism is objectively pro-Fascist. This is elementary common sense. If you hamper the war effort of one side you automatically help that of the other. Nor is there any real way of remaining outside such a war as the present one. In practice, ‘he that is not with me is against me’. The idea that you can somehow remain aloof from and superior to the struggle, while living on food which British sailors have to risk their lives to bring you, is a bourgeois illusion bred of money and security…

What I object to is the intellectual cowardice of people who are objectively and to some extent emotionally pro-Fascist, but who don’t care to say so and take refuge behind the formula ‘I am just as anti-fascist as anyone, but—’. The result of this is that so-called peace propaganda is just as dishonest and intellectually disgusting as war propaganda. "
