When you bombed the Cole and flew planes into buildings, you were messing with the US government. However, now you've really fucked up. You've messed with the McDonald's Corporation.

I am constantly struck by the fact that in all of the pictures of the riots about the cartoons, hell in ANY picture of Muslims rioting, you see smiling faces mugging it up for the camera. I get the feeling this is considered one big photo op by these people.

I am also disgusted at the pictures showing the crowds carrying signs saying that free speach is Muslim oppression and it is terrorism against Muslims. Those of us who value our freedoms can't let that pass. I've sent comments to my elected officials demanding a showing of spine against this action.

I believe that if any country passes a pro-Muslim law in response to this imtimidation tactic, that country might as well live under Sharia law.

I thought I would share this with you all. It was written in December 2005 and posted on a military blog. It was written to a family member serving in Iraq.
_________________________________________________

Are we fighting a war on terror or arent we? Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on 9/11/2001?

Were people from all, over the world, mostly Americans, not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan, across the Potomac from our nations capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania?
Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didnt they?

And Im supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was desecrated when an overworked American soldier kicked it and got it wet? Well, I dont.I dont care at all.

Ill start caring when Osama Bin Laden turns himself in and repents for incinerating all the innocent people on 9/11.

Ill care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere possession of which is a crime in Saudi Arabia.

Ill care when Abu Musab al-Zarqawi tells the world he is sorry for hacking off Nick Bergs head while Berg screamed through his gurgling, slashed throat.

Ill care when the cowardly so called insurgents in Iraq come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques.

Ill care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide bombs.

Ill care when the American media stops pretending that their First Amendment liberties are somehow derived from international law instead of the United States Bill of Rights.

In the meantime, when I hear a story about a brave Marine roughing up an Iraqi terrorist to obtain information, know this: I DONT CARE.

When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked Iraqi prisoners who have been humiliated in what amounts to a college hazing incident, rest assured that I dont care.

When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank that I dont care.

When I hear that a prisoner , who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and fed special food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being mishandled you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts that I dont care.

And OH, by the way, Ive noticed that sometimes its spelled Koran and other times Quran. Well, Jimmy! Crack Corn and you guessed it—-I DONT CARE.

The Caped Crusader to take on Bin Laden

Frank Miller, who changed the way people looked at comics with his noirish 1980s Batman graphic novel "The Dark Knight Returns" and his "Sin City" series, says he's started work on a book where the caped crusader will "kick a lot of al Qaeda butt."

"Not to put too fine a point on it -- it's a piece of propaganda," Miller told a group of about a thousand fans this weekend at the WonderCon comic book convention in San Francisco. "Batman kicks al Qaeda's ass."

"I wish the entertainers of our time had the spine and the focus of the ones who faced down Hitler," Miller said. "I just think it's silly to have Batman out chasing the Riddler when you've got al Qaeda out there."

Miller's new twist in the Batman canon may revive the sentiment that surrounded Captain America during World War II. In the very first issue of that Marvel comic, published just months before the attack on Pearl Harbor, Captain America is pictured on the cover punching out Adolf Hitler with a vicious right cross.

Let us hope this is what turns the sentiment of the lazy masses. Sunday night, there was a program on our local channel, "San Francisco in the 1940's," part of a historical series for each decade of the twentieth century. This episode began with the attack on Pearl Harbor and how Americans, of evey race, nationality (including Japanese-Americans) and creed, rallied to build America's military from 16th in the world to defend this nation. An all Japanese unit of the US Army (just like it had all black units) that fought in Europe was one of the most decorated of all.

Where is that spirit today? Now its all touchy-feely, why do they hate us, let's understand them them first, blame root causes of poverty and lack of education while they continue to kill us.

A favorite, incidentally, of Irish tenor John McCormack, whom Joyce so admired, and to whom he sent "Samson the Nazarite" by Vladimir Jabotinsky. That inscribed-by-Joyce-to-McCormack book by Jabotinsky was, several decades ago, on sale at the antiquarian-books-and-print department of Altman's. Don't know who the farseeing buyer was.

John McCormack has a lot of 78s to his name.
I have "Macushla, and "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling" and "Kathleen Mavourneen" and that famous Celtic song "Funiculi Funicula" and something about a harp that hung in Tara's halls, a harp that hung on Tara's walls, a harp that sung to Tara's walls... oh, well, you get the idea.

Italian minister puts Mohammad cartoon on T-shirts

By Crispian Balmer Tue Feb 14, 10:50 AM ET

ROME (Reuters) - Italy's Reform Minister Roberto Calderoli has had T-shirts made emblazoned with cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad in a move that could embarrass Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's government.

Calderoli, a member of the anti-immigrant Northern League party, told Ansa news agency on Tuesday that the West had to stand up against Islamist extremists and offered to hand out T-shirts to anyone who wanted them.

"I have had T-shirts made with the cartoons that have upset Islam and I will start wearing them today," Ansa quoted Calderoli as saying.

He said the T-shirts were not meant to be a provocation but added that he saw no point trying to appease extremists.

"We have to put an end to this story that we can talk to these people. They only want to humiliate people. Full stop. And what are we becoming? The civilization of melted butter?" Calderoli said.

Bravo, Italiano!

What's with the Ronald McDonald animus these days? Just a couple threads down, the one about the Milan art show depicting Oriana Fallaci beheaded, there was a reference to a "lurid" portrait of Ronald at the same art show.

I find it hilarious that McDonald's is such an international symbol of everything that is wrong and dangerous about America. Certainly the American left appears to share this view. Personally, I don't care for fast food. I eat fast food maybe 2 or 3 times a year tops, usually if I'm on the road. But the hilarious thing is that it is obviously quite possible to live one's entire life in America completely ignoring McDonald's to the point that it barely registers on one's radar screen (unless one happens to be on the interstate and in dire need of a clean public restroom, in which case nothing beats MickyD's – and one HAS to admit that in this respect, McD’s provides an absolutely indispensable public service!)) - and yet this relatively innocuous enterprise makes people so darned angry, not only here at home but obviously throughout the world.

There are a great many things about American culture that I have no taste for – certain kinds of music, mall shopping, certain spectator sports, and so on – but it is equally obvious that it is quite easy to live one’s life almost totally oblivious to these things. No one is required to eat fast food, or spend time shopping at malls and buying things, let alone even own a television set or have a radio in one’s car. By choice, anyone is free to live as folks did back in the 1940’s, in small homes, with one car, boxed lunches, and so on.

So what’s the big deal? Some people act as if noone has a choice in these things – as if the lure of materialism and advertising and bright splashy things is an overwhelming force that deprives people of free will and autonomy.

No it doesn’t. ISLAM is an overwhelming force that deprives people of autonomy. I am fairly certain, though, that there are in fact a fair number of westerners especially, who are so disgusted by the likes of McD’s that they are prepared to roll over and let Islam march in because the west is “decadent” and because it has ugly, cheap things like McDonalds in every town and because they somehow don’t understand basic concepts like choice and free will. The bottom line is that this Ronald McDonald animus, while it's easy to laugh at, is actually no joke.

Actually, to me, the most fascinating thing about westerners' animus to McDonald's (which generally comes from the leftist side of the political spectrum) is that these are the very folks who ARE quite capable, in their personal lives, of living without fast food, of avoiding television sets at home and radios in their cars, of driving beat up cars or relying on public transportation, of shopping at the Goodwill or the Salvation Army for their clothes, of buying bulk beans and rice and oatmeal at the local co-op, of using public transportation and so on (I am very familiar with all these things not on the basis of any ideological grounds, but merely due to limited financial means resulting from being a student for so many years). So in their personal lives, these are the very folks who demonstrate the consummate ease of living in the west while simultaneously avoiding all the trappings of commercialism, whether due to necessity or on on the basis of voluntary ideological grounds.

YET - these are the very folks who are utterly obsessed with trying to ENFORCE upon the west a utopian world that is devoid of all these things that they manage quite easily to avoid, through their own personal choices, every single day of their lives. And in the interests of enforcing something that in the west doesn't even NEED to be enforced, but which can be quite readily adopted as a voluntarily lifestyle, these folks are willing to sell out the things which absolutely DO matter - things which once dispensed with simply CANNOT be regained voluntarily, through personal choices related to lifestyle.

What those most precious and indispensable things are is abundantly clear to anyone who has studied Islam or Communism or any totalitarian ideology.

But why don't the western McDonald's haters get that? Since they are the ones who by their own choices, demonstrate most clearly that they are ALREADY free? As free as anyone can possibly be in this world that we all actually live in, right here, right now?

From my experience these "leftists" are the ones who do NOT engage in what you've just described.

I have found that the outspoken critics of excess are the very people who engage in it. Gas guzzling SUVs, fast food and whatever else you mentioned.

These people are also the most ardent racists (although they would vehemently deny this accusation) because they assume that minorities are INCAPABLE of taking care of themselves because they are minorities.

Hypocrisy abounds.

Aiken - the people I am describing are the foot soldiers who actually show up on the street for anti-globalization rallies, the ones who plaster bumper stickers all over their cars, the folks who give what money they can to Moveon.org and so on. The people who would never in a million years drive an SUV.

The people you describe are the wealthy liberal cultural elites who suffer from the ultimate guilt complex while living the life of Reilly.

The people you describe ARE true hypocrites, there's no doubt about it. But the folks I'm describing DO live their ideals. My problem with the folks I'm describing is that they refuse to acknowledge that they live those ideals by choice and they are arrogant in not understanding that others are perfectly capable of making the same choices and that there is no need to overthrow the entire system in order to ENFORCE upon others, the same lifestyles they have voluntarily chosen (they are incredibly arrogant actually, in elevating their own chosen lifestyle as the perfect aesthetic ideal of how people OUGHT to live). Because there's simply no way of doing so without depriving people of freedoms that are far far more important.

These are the folks who appear quite willing to throw the baby out with the bathwater, the bathwater in this case being McDonald's, and the baby being all the freedoms that ultimately ground and underly and go along with the freedom to choose or not choose to eat at McDonald's. My point being that is hatred of McDonald's (as ugly and tacky as it is) actually WORTH selling out western civilization to Islam??

But by the same token, you cannot simply FORGET about McDonald's if you wish to understand why so many westerners are willing to roll over on their backs and let Islam march in to take its place. Which is why, as easy as it is to laugh about this rampant 'McDonald's animus', it's no joke! Ronald McDonald is actually very serious business indeed!

(scratching my head here. Is this what postmodernism is all about? Or have we actually entered the Twilight Zone?:-))

Ain't gonna comment on postmodernism or the Twilight Zone.

These folks are serious and they are for real.

What I will say is that I despise any folks who claim that their subjective feelings are paramount to rational thinking.

History is replete with this kind of thought and power, but it must be fought tooth and nail.

I am wondering if these people believed that buy burning this doll they could recover their oil that was used to make the plastic. But that sounds to technical and doesn’t fit with the past weeks events.

Dear Robert,

I have the (definitive) explanation of how these fanatics reason wrongly. J.D. and Ph.D. stuff. I'm going to delete a central part of the post tomorrow night because it is part of my upcoming book.

Caroline:

I take exception to your (somewhat flippant)comment that nobody needs Islam anymore than they need McDonald's! McDonald's has it all over Islam!

McDonald's whatever its virtues or lack thereof at least gainfully employs people and provides food and (usually clean) restrooms to the public. I would agree that that may not be very much.

However, to someone in need of a job especially a person without many marketable job skills, a job with McDonald's is at least SOMETHING of remote value as it enables them to provide themselves with a roof over their head, food, and a paycheck (however small that may be).

But this is to my view a far greater contribution to humanity than anything Islam has ever managed to come up with. Or ever could. Note the abject and massive poverty of the Islamic nations. And therein lies my trifling with your statement: Islam does zero for humanity's physical well-being and that is putting it NICELY! What is Islam anyway but a millstone around humanity's neck? McDonald's is no such thing. Okay?

McDonald's and Islam should NEVER EVER be put on an equal footing. Even a rhetorical one! And that goes for a lot of other western institutions and innovations.

And believe me, I am no great fan of this fast food chain.

If those guys aren't Muslim demonstrators, they might be vegetarians. Or nutritionists. Or Burger King employees. I never liked Ronald McDonald either; he just doesn't hold a candle to Bozo.

It's about time McDonald's gets some pork on that menu. Keep the undesirables away.

Posted by: Alarmed Pig Farmer at February 14, 2006 11:28 PM

A cursory glance of the picture of a burning Ronald McDonald, surrounded by dozens of angry, defiant, muslim neanderthal bozos, gives one the impression that this brave army just defeated public enemy #1. The evil Ronald has been vanquished by intrepid muslim heroes, reminiscent of the glorious battles of yesteryear between the infidel Crusaders and the holy warriors. Their bravery is so awesome and their pride in yet another example of wanton destruction is so obvious.

These guys, and millions of their clones in the desolate expanse known as the "Islamic" world, have a tough life. They either avoid gainful employment to be on call 24/7 for riot and demonstration duty, or they abandon their jobs to engage in the crucial work of wreaking havoc, death, and destruction on their own cities. And who said they were shiftless and lazy?

Posted by: Susanp at February 14, 2006 11:31 PM

Burning Ronald.

This one is hard to deal with. I've wanted to do this for several decades.

As Caroline stated, if it wasn't for the clean restrooms, there would not be a need for McD’s.

But I digress.

Just how asinine is burning a plastic mannequin. I wonder if they raped and sodomized it first?????

The Texican.

Freedom. The only choice at any price even eating at McD's.

Remember that it was the Europeans who published the pics.
and I believe that they were published, because of the undercurrent of fear associated with Islam - in the media and in politics.

What is happening is that we are being censored by people who have recently come in as migrant workers.
We have had artists and politicians killed and their lives threatened. At the moment there are several of the Dutch politicians who have to live under police protection. And now these cartoonists are in the same position.

We have Islamic people all around Europe’s borders. First they come in for a job - and now they are saying that they want to take over the place.

This whole protest thing is like nothing that any of us have ever seen before. And to back this up we got these radicals on our TV's saying openly - anyone comes against the prophet has to be killed.
If you speak out they will single you out and they may kill you.
People’s lives are too valuable.

Read this article it is called:-
Muslims are trading respect for fear

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,24391-2036215,00.html
__________

Sorry about Ronald - we like him here - too.

I was going to say that it’s a love hate relationship - I think these people love it because they want to take their children there - but it is about a day’s wage.
It is the closest most of these people will probably ever get to the America, I suppose better the Ronald Mc Donald statue in a foreign and at the moment hostile land, than any of us right now.
_________

If this continues - then we are all going to have deal with this problem - the problem of Islam.

Hugh-

There is a new turntable, just releaed this year, (for under $200) with a USB port that plays 78's (and 33 1/3rds and 45's). You put on the record, plug it into your computer, save it to an audio file and burn a CD directly from that.

It's great for old Les Paul* and Gene Krupa 78's too. (Krupa being the best drummer to ever skin a kit... although Keith Moon was a fine tom-tom heavy heir himself.)

*I think Islam tried to forbid his "How High The Moon".

Years ago, there were Hobo Joe's restaurants in Arizona, probably California, too.

I think the chain went under. However, I liked their restaurants. They had a Hobo Joe figure outside the entrance as I recall. Haven't seen one of those in real life in years. Found one via the internet. 'Hobo Joe'is hiding out somewhere in Arizona.

I think the Bob's Big Boy restaurants are still in business. Not sure...

I guess after Ronald was murdered in Pakyland, Bob's Big Boy will have to go into the federal witness protection program...

I don't care what these idiots destroy in Pakistan and other assorted hellish Islamic cesspits, provided they do not succeed in razing embassies belonging to other countries. Let them cut off their own noses to spite their faces all day, every day.

But why aren't native Europeans protesting en masse against the histrionic arrogance of unassimilated immigrants who flood the streets of European cities threatening terrorism, murder, conquest, and making aggressive demands for censorship and gratuitous respect for their vile death cult and its murderous prophet? Where is the indignation and outrage of the European people at this apocryphal affront to not only their culture, traditions, and freedoms, but to their security?!

Sometimes it is best to remain silent and ride out a storm but in this case, silence implies fear or capitulation. Capitulation or appeasement at this point will be the beginning of the end of Europe for sure.

The Nexus between the Left and Islam

In 1995, José Bové was on the Rainbow Warrior, siding with Greenpeace against nuclear trials.

In 1997, José Bové turned his attentions to GM crops. His militant credits include the destruction of a Novartis seed production facility and the hijacking of GM-grown corn.

In 1999, José Bové spent another three weeks in jail after he led activists in the destruction of -- guess what -- a branch of McDonalds [in France]. For José Bové, the golden arches represent the industrialisation of all food production, the worst of "malbouffe - bad food". For the anti-global movement, his imprisonment made him one of its first martyrs.

«...je crois que le gouvernement israélien et ses services secrets ont intérêt à créer une certaine psychose, à faire croire qu’un climat antisémite s’est installé en France, pour mieux détourner les regards »

[translation:] "I believe that the Israeli government and its secret services have an interest in creating a certain psychosis, to make [us] believe there is an anti-semitic climate in France, in order to deflect attention from it..."

-- José Bové

(le 4 janvier 2001) José Bové avait rendu visite à Salah Karker, co-fondateur du Parti Islamiste Tunisien assigné à résidence à Digne depuis 1996 et considéré comme « très dangereux » dans son pays d’origine (visite rendue au nom d’un combat commun contre la « mondialisation libérale »).

[translation:] January 4, 2001, José Bové paid a visit to Salah Karker, co-founder of the Tunisian Islamist Party... considered "very dangerous" in his country of origin (a visit made in the name of a common struggle against "liberal [i.e., right-wing Jewish-Masonic] globalization").

As Alexandre Del Valle wrote:

"The demonstrations of anti-American and anti-Israeli hate organized by the “No Global” people connect often with those of the Trotskyite movements and of the extreme left—organizations with which the anti-Globalist nebula remains structurally linked. They converge in the same Americanophobic and Israelophobic radicalism expressed in a recurrent fashion by media personalities like José Bové, the vandalizer of McDonald’s and smasher of the American “malbouffe” ["junk food"], or again the Portuguese Nobel prize-winner in literature, José Saramago, the American economist Jeremy Rifkin, the Egyptian economist Samir Amin, and the Canadian writer Naomi Klein, whose work No Logo constitutes one of the reference texts of the movement."

and:

"Recipient in 1985 of the Islamic Faycal Prize awarded by the Saudi king in gratitude for his efforts in favor of Islam, Garaudy was enthroned as the new herald of the anti-Zionist cause (44). A communist philosopher become Muslim and adulated by the extreme right, Roger Garaudy embodies the revisionist pivot around which converge the three totalitarianisms, Red, Brown and Green, in the name of identical detestations and obsessive hatreds. It is a neo-totalitarian convergence all the more disquieting because of the moral, philosophical and even ecclesiastical blessings given Garaudy by such “progressive authorities” as Noam Chomsky, the Abbot Pierre, José Bové, or Tariq Ramadan: all these personalities have defended the author of Les Mythes fondateurs, each in his fashion, in samizdats, colloquiums, Internet sites, appeals of support, defense committees, etc."

The Al-Ahram Weekly wrote:

"The reason he [Tariq Ramadan] has earned the enmity of these intellectuals is that his stands now enjoy the support of thinkers and intellectuals of the calibre of the late Edward Said, Naom Chomsky, Francois Bugart, Edgar Morin and Norman Finkelstein, some of whom are Jewish. Tariq Ramadan developed a constructive dialogue with Alain Gresh, editor-in-chief of Le Monde Diplomatique, and with Bernard Cassen, one of the leading figures of the world anti-globalisation movement. He [Ramadan] also tried to find common ground with the French peasant leader Jose Bove, famous for destroying a MacDonald's to protest France's Americanisation in the globalisation process now underway."

...France's Elle Magazine once called Bove "the man who fooled us most, who perpetuated fraud". And before he founded the Confederation Paysanne, a leftist peasant farmers' union, they ask why an authentic French farmer would really need to spend time at a Quadafi-sponsored "direct action" training camp in Libya.

McDonalds is a Franchise operation. These goons have just set fire to a plastic clown belonging to a Pakistani business.

My guess is NOT censorship of the material but that they had copyright conerns, even though I aletered the comic a bit, apparently it wasn't enough...

One can understant why leftest extremists have such an affinity for islam. If one were to entitle the photograph "no global protesters and a world trade meeting" it would be equally plausible.

Posted by: restitutor orbis at February 15, 2006 8:49 AM

This has nothing to do with the cartoons. It's about American Idol. Ali Kazaam was told that his trip to Hollywood was over and that he had to go home. His rendition of Paul McCarthy's "Live and Let Die" didn't convince Simon Cowell.
And the Islamofeces didn't have an accurate picture of Simon and just picked anything Ameriacn to burn. But rumor has it that the imans convinced the rioters that Ronald McDonald was, in fact, the split image of Simon Cowell, ommitting the fact that Simon was really British. And that the image was an undercover slap at the prophet Muhammad.
Ali Kazaam, inangered about being let go from the popular reality show, swore "Allah shall have his vengance upon the infidel Simon!" And called for jihad.
Ali Kazaam commented when asked about Paula Abdul,
"I honor nothing about this woman's vote. It only counted for half vote."
But yet Ali Kazaam did notice that the Coke-a-Cola label was on the cups that the judges were drinking from.
Could this have something to do with the burning of Ronald McDonald as well? Only Allah and the imans know for sure.
