Work comp then pays for your doctors visit and medications, lost time, mileage, vocational rehabilitation etc. If you cannot perform that job any longer, you find another job doing something that doesn’t require a bad back or missing fingers, etc and then we are required to pay the wage loss. You continue to work, your (former) employer’s work comp insurance premiums go up because of your injury and subsequent inflated settlement, and life goes on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The insurance adjusters, my take, on workers compensation:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You were at work and get injured because you’re a fucking lazy idiot and go to the ER for a smashed pinky finger or a bump on your leg. The ER Doc gives you an Rx for 40 vicodin and some ibuprofen and keeps you off work for 3 weeks. They may even prescribe zoloft because the bump on your leg has caused you to become depressed. The claimant then decides he is entitled to everything under the sun and gets a lawyer and sues his employer. The claimant then hopes for a huge settlement and that he will never have to work again. The claimant relaxes and goes on vacation and does other fun stuff with his wife and kids while receiving a fat work-comp check (and free medications). He OBVIOUSLY cannot work any longer because of the MENTAL ANGUISH of having a smashed up pinky finger. He then blows his entire Medicare set aside on a trip around the world. He finally comes to the realization that a 50k settlement doesn't get you very far in the long term and he starts to panic. He then commits suicide. His wife hires an attorney who decides to vacate the stipulation for settlement and claims ongoing dependency benefits. The insurance company is then forced to settle again for another 50-100k and the employer's premiums continue to sky rocket.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile the sheeple continue to scratch their heads as to why insurance premiums are so high.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, it is really like that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It all comes down to how well you can play up your “injury” and how good of a scumbag leech attorney you can hire, and in liberal Minnesota there are plenty to go around.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1661780681029416266-8383545537712511161?l=vintageconservatism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vintageconservatism.blogspot.com/feeds/8383545537712511161/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1661780681029416266&amp;postID=8383545537712511161' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1661780681029416266/posts/default/8383545537712511161'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1661780681029416266/posts/default/8383545537712511161'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vintageconservatism.blogspot.com/2010/02/workers-compensation-working-mans.html' title='Workers Compensation-The Working Man&apos;s Welfare'/><author><name>VintageConservative</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00660402315390901235</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pwjSeuTQTcM/SQiDuUxYROI/AAAAAAAAAA8/kCL48V6z0xA/S220/untitled.bmp'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661780681029416266.post-8327353482075094046</id><published>2010-02-11T07:51:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-11T07:59:46.470-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Alec Baldwin is Back!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.startribune.com/entertainment/tv/84107117.html?elr=KArksLckD8EQDUoaEyqyP4O:DW3ckUiD3aPc:_Yyc:aULPQL7PQLanchO7DiUsX"&gt;http://www.startribune.com/entertainment/tv/84107117.html?elr=KArksLckD8EQDUoaEyqyP4O:DW3ckUiD3aPc:_Yyc:aULPQL7PQLanchO7DiUsX&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alec Baldwin: You filthy little brat!

type='text'>You Can't Have It Both Ways</title><content type='html'>The FAR left extremists (I'm talking about the crazies, not normal, open-minded liberals) like to say that the U.S. is no longer the dominant world power because of _______insert reason. Europe likes to tell us how terrible we are and that the world no longer supports "super-powers". But what does every country in the world do when they have a problem? The good ol' USA. WW1? We weren't directly threatened, but we joined in. WWII? What would've happened to Europe if the U.S. didn't take over? Korea? "Call the U.S. will take care of it!" Vietnam? We had to go because the French screwed it up in the late 50's. Panama? " The U.S. will take care of Noriege!" Iraq (Desert Storm) "the U.S. uses a lot of fuel, let them take care of Saddam!" Bosnia/Herzegovina/Kosovo? "Send in the NATO--but make sure it is the U.S. that spends all the money and sends all the troops. Starving people in Africa?" Afghanistan? I seem to remember terrorist bombings in Europe in the last 10 years, but "the let the colonies take care of it!" The U.S. grows plenty of food, they can feed the world! Global Warming? Blame the U.S., but make sure they are growing food for the rest of us. My point is, the world likes to complain about how bad the U.S. is and that we aren't/shouldn't be the dominant country in the world, but wer'e the first ones EVERYONE calls when they need help-YOU CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS PEOPLE!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

Favor of Radical Islam</title><content type='html'>On Thursday, June 12th, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled in favor of radical Islam, 5-4.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They ruled that the rights endowed in the Constitution are also inherient in the Islamic militants and can be extended to them in a time of war.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These rights are INHERIENT in the citizens of this country, the United States of America. Hense, the constitution of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. It does not mean that we have to pass these rights on to enemey combats of a foreign country, fighthing in a WAR. What do you think is going to happen to these miltiants once they are extradited back to their home lands, i.e Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Afganistan? They will be immediately shot, be headed or actually tortured. They are much better off in Guantanamo Bay then a Islamic Gulag.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Congress cannot "suspend" habeas corpus by denying it to people who have no right to it in the first place. The right against suspension of habeas corpus is found in the Constitution (art. I, 9). Constitutional rights belong only to Americans — that is, according to the Supreme Court, U.S. citizens and those aliens who, by lawfully weaving themselves into the fabric of our society, have become part of our national community (which is to say, lawful permanent resident aliens). To the contrary, aliens with no immigration status who are captured and held outside the territorial jurisdiction of the United States, and whose only connection to our country is to wage a barbaric war against it, do not have any rights, much less "basic rights," under our Constitution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When eight Nazi saboteurs were rounded up after being dropped off on Long Island by a German submarine in 1942, after all, they were not treated like domestic criminal defendants. They were tried by a military commission; six were promptly shot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Furthermore, The Constitution mandates three co-equal branches of government. It does not mandate that the Supreme Court is the Supreme branch. That right was claimed by John Marshal in Marbury v. Madison.The Constitution clearly makes the President the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, giving Congress the power of the purse, which can serve as a check on the Executive’s power to wage war. The Supreme Court has no dog in that particular hunt.The President should, as Jackson so famously did, ignore the decision as one with no authority over the conduct of war. If we had a President whose guts matched his rhetoric and swagger, this is what would happen.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1661780681029416266-4972462805656111099?l=vintageconservatism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vintageconservatism.blogspot.com/feeds/4972462805656111099/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1661780681029416266&amp;postID=4972462805656111099' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1661780681029416266/posts/default/4972462805656111099'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1661780681029416266/posts/default/4972462805656111099'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vintageconservatism.blogspot.com/2008/06/supreme-court-rules-in-favor-of-radical.html' title='Supreme Court Rules in Favor of Radical Islam'/><author><name>VintageConservative</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00660402315390901235</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pwjSeuTQTcM/SQiDuUxYROI/AAAAAAAAAA8/kCL48V6z0xA/S220/untitled.bmp'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661780681029416266.post-8838400477688831504</id><published>2008-05-21T08:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-23T08:31:26.189-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Korea'/><title type='text'>It's been awhile.....</title><content type='html'>So it's been awhile since I posted on this blog. Since my last entry a lot has been going on in my life. I recently got back from a trip to South Korea. I was there for 15 days and spent 18 hours in a plane to get there. That amount of time in transit to another country seems unreal to most, but it actually flew by quite quickly. I had 2 full seats to my self and managed to sleep and read &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Barak&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Husseins&lt;/span&gt;', The Audacity of Hope( There is not enough time to cover what I thought of this book in this entry).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While there I spent the majority of my time in Seoul visiting some good friends from college. While there I saw so much and did so much it, it has all become somewhat of a blur now. From the time I got off the plane it was non-stop. I saw palaces, ate &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Kimchi&lt;/span&gt;(a Korean dish made of fermented cabbage and spices), went to the DMZ, ate loads of weird food, took in the crowed markets of Seoul, drank &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Sojo&lt;/span&gt; and other random assortments of liquor, met some pretty cool Koreans, took pictures with random Koreans, inhaled enough industrial chemicals in the air to kill a large horse, smoked too many &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;cigs&lt;/span&gt;, walked so much I thought my feet would fracture at times, enjoyed a pleasant Seoul cab ride,went to a Korean baseball game,  camped out on a beach, went for a bike ride around the Han,  and hung out with all my best friends from college. I also managed to make it to the port city of Pusan, which lays on the South East coast of Korea. It is the only area that was not taken by Communist forces in the Korean war. While in Pusan we went to the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;Bemosa&lt;/span&gt;, walked around the markets, ate some good food, went to the beach, and drank too much &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;Sojo&lt;/span&gt;, wicked hangover.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My trip to South Korea was as beautiful as it was eye-opening. South Korea as a country is a miracle. To think that most of Korea was completely wiped off the map 60 years ago by wars and famine, and now has become a bustling city of 25 million people (10 million in city central, 15 million in the surrounding suburbs) is astounding. South Korea lays on the peninsula in the Pacific between Japan and China and boarders its hostile brother to the North, the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;DPRK&lt;/span&gt;, The Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea, the last Stalinist regime. This geographical location has invited centuries of imperialism, subjugation, and conquest by Russia, China, Japan, and the 20&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt; century Communist movement. It's even a miracle that South Korea has survived and maintained an intact sense of national identity. It's often referred to as the "miracle on the Han River". From a third world country with people starving and living huts to a booming economic super power with the highest income growth in history, South Korea has defied all odds and is the pinnacle of what freedom and capitalism can achieve. Koreans are a very nationalistic people and this is reflected in their language, social and political structure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This trip to SK was one of the best trips I've ever made. The Koreans are some of the most welcoming and friendliest peoples I've ever met. Where else in the world can you walk in crowded subway, drop some won(Korean currency) and a Korean will run after you to give it back? Although the city of Seoul may be very polluted and densely populated it still presents a certain kind of rouged beauty. This unique beauty that SK represents is a combination of a modern drive to succeed with a reflection on what the past, both positive and negative has given them. While walking in the streets you will see men in suits rushing to the office. You will see military, both Domestic and American casually walking around. You will see men and women wearing face masks to protect themselves from the harsh pollution. All the while this all takes place with a background of blue skies and high mountains.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Getting to the point of my rant, I had a wonderful time in Korea and it made me respect a whole new culture and people that I would have otherwise never visited or come across. It also made me realize that the world DOES NOT hate America like the media elites like to tell us so. It is the LEFT that hates America.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1661780681029416266-8838400477688831504?l=vintageconservatism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vintageconservatism.blogspot.com/feeds/8838400477688831504/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1661780681029416266&amp;postID=8838400477688831504' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1661780681029416266/posts/default/8838400477688831504'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1661780681029416266/posts/default/8838400477688831504'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vintageconservatism.blogspot.com/2008/05/its-been-awhile.html' title='It&apos;s been awhile.....'/><author><name>VintageConservative</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00660402315390901235</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pwjSeuTQTcM/SQiDuUxYROI/AAAAAAAAAA8/kCL48V6z0xA/S220/untitled.bmp'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661780681029416266.post-7519037976862659182</id><published>2008-02-13T08:23:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-02-13T20:49:42.545-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Creationism'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lofty rhetoric'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Inventions'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2008 Election'/><title type='text'>The Obama Invention</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;MSM creates Messianic figure, names him Barack Hussein Obama&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal; font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know everybody is talking about Obama and it might be a little cliché for me to blog about him, but I just had to share with you my insights on the media creation of Barack Hussein Obama.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Obama has had a quite a run lately. He has completely swept Clinton since Super Tuesday and the media has now proclaimed him the front runner for the Democratic nomination.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Front runner? I think that’s a little premature. Hillary’s new campaign manager needs to remind her that she will not be running against George W. Bush. I think she needs to focus more on her Democratic opponent who has gained quite a bit of momentum since “Super Tuesday.” I think if she takes Texas, Ohio and Pennsylvania; she’ll have the edge again. But she will need a new strategy to overtake the Obama explosion.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;This strategy should be to expose Obama’s inexperience. This man has done absolutely nothing in the Senate. He’s also missed 80% of Senate votes in the past two months. All he does is preach on college campuses to young kids, yet he wishes to unite everyone? He is rated the most liberal Senator and somehow this is not viewed as the potential to be just as divisive as the Bush administration has been? How exactly will he work with the other side when his policies are further to the left than the majority of Americans? I also have not seen Obama reach out to people who challenge his beliefs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;The Obama “movement” has reached occult status. He has amassed a huge following that seems to be transcending party lines.  He has the ability to speak and instill hope and change (whatever that means) in the hearts and mind of the average American. But what the only thing the Obama campaign has become is the next American Idle series. I blame this infatuation with the MSM’s  love for brainless sound bites and fashionable new trends.  I blame this on the degenerates that our influencing our children. I blame this on the people who don't care if their society is invaded by Islamists. I blame this on the cancerous disease of political correctness.  Obama is just the next pop star in a long line of them. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;But I digress. It’s going to be very difficult for Hillary to expose Obama’s inexperience because she is indeed trying to convince a base that clearly does not understand the true roles and responsibilities of the President. When she’s tried to expose the rhetoric, it’s backfired. She really does have her work cut out for her. Even ironically so, she is up against the same type of campaign her husband ran in 1992. He promised the world to people just as Obama is doing, and the current  average American has forgotten this. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;On a more serious note, I would recommend to Obama the he start to think about facing McCain in the debates and having some substance behind his lofty rhetoric. All this change he talks about, what is he waiting for? He has a seat in the very place he calls broken. He could sponsor a bill right now (or could have in the past) that can begin the implementation process for his plans for America. Obama is so against the war in Iraq, and has repeatedly accused Hillary of “flip flopping” yet he didn’t show up to vote on a critical measure regarding a resolution that declared the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, an elite part of the Iranian military, a terrorist organization. Clinton voted for it, and he criticized her for it. He said “it would give President Bush a blank check to invade Iran.” If he felt so strongly about it, why didn’t he vote against it? The campaign does consume time, and it’s quite normal for them to miss some votes, but not 80% and not ones that are so critical to their message. The continuance of rhetoric with no substance or facts will not prevail in the end. That may inspire college kids who don’t know any better, but he has a lot of proving to do not only to his own party, but too many who continue to challenge his ideas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;The pandering by the Obama camp is relying on two things; the intellectual lowest common denominator and people’s emotions. I do realize that the vast majority of the sheeple in this country vote on emotions and what they feeeeeeel in their hearts. But if you apply Obamas socialist rhetoric to anything of economic importance, it is found to be devoid of any logic whatsoever. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;In the end, I just have to “hope” that there are enough Americans who will see through the rhetoric and realize that true freedom and prosperity for all is achieved by getting big government out of the way. Obama is the best of the least right now. McCain has the power to expose the rhetoric because his base does NOT vote with their hearts. He also does well with independents, which will help with the swing states. If by some chance Obama does win, it will really be something to see when all of his supporters are let down. It will be a hard lesson, but a memorable one. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1661780681029416266-7519037976862659182?l=vintageconservatism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vintageconservatism.blogspot.com/feeds/7519037976862659182/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1661780681029416266&amp;postID=7519037976862659182' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1661780681029416266/posts/default/7519037976862659182'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1661780681029416266/posts/default/7519037976862659182'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vintageconservatism.blogspot.com/2008/02/obama-invention.html' title='The Obama Invention'/><author><name>VintageConservative</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00660402315390901235</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pwjSeuTQTcM/SQiDuUxYROI/AAAAAAAAAA8/kCL48V6z0xA/S220/untitled.bmp'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661780681029416266.post-2015067847843529893</id><published>2008-02-07T19:19:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-02-14T08:26:07.897-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Charlatan Kerry Blames Tornados on Global Warming!</title><content type='html'>According to Kerry's brilliant deductive reasoning, cooling is now caused by warming. Huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kerry appeared on MSNBC to discuss the global warming tornados:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;“[I] don’t want to sort of leap into the larger meaning of, you know, inappropriately, but on the other hand, the weather service has told us we are going to have more and more intense storms,” Kerry said.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do not want to say Tornados are related to global warming, but tornados are related to global warming! Tornados are a natural occurrence in weather Mr. Kerry. I believe they occur when a violently rotating column of air is in contact with a cumulus cloud base and the surface of the earth. Furthermore, the weather service cannot accurately predict the weather 3 days from now. Why should we believe that they can predict global climate change?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Kerry goes on to say that,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;“And insurance companies are beginning to look at this issue and understand this is related to the intensity of storms that is related to the warming of the earth."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Insurance companies are in the business to make money and are the pinnacle of capitalism. If they see that the sheeple are buying into the global warming scare, they will tap into the green markets and their massive amount of subsides. Once this fade passes the insurance companies will move on to other money making ventures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kerry continues his environmentalist newspeak.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;"And so it goes to global warming and larger issues that we’re not paying attention to. The fact is the hurricanes are more intensive, the storms are more intensive and the rainfall is more intense at certain places at certain times and the weather patterns have changed.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moron, wake up. There is no global warming going on! It's 30 below here in MN. There have been record snow falls in Britain and China. Weather "experts" are predicting record lows this winter. There has not been one major hurricane since Katrina and rainfall is not more intense. Rainful is never measured on a consistent basis. It has always varied from year to year. What planet are you living on?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He also says, "Rainfall has been more intense at certain places at certain times and the weather patterns have changed. This makes absolutely no sense. Of course the weather is different at certain places at certain times; this is what we call the natural changing of seasons! The Earth has gone through thousands of periods of cooling and warming, but to say that this one is somehow different is a farce and a disgusting distortion of the facts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We as humans have become so narcissistic and inflated with emotions that we now think we can reverse global weather patterns. I believe part of this increased level of narcissism stems from our dramatic technogolical advancements in the past 40 years.  It is also due the do gooder mentality that has been peddled by the left for the past 60 years. We have become so conceded with our own desires and bloated with pseudo intelligence we now believe we can harness the power of mother nature! The Earth has existed for billions of years before us. It has seen periods of extreme cold and extreme warmth. If global warming really were as bad as the Leftist doomsayers insist it is, then no policy imaginable could "solve" it.  Even in accordance to the logic of the greens' own numbers, no matter how much we sacrifice there would still be more to do. That makes global warming the bottomless well of excuses for the relentless growth of big government.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1661780681029416266-2015067847843529893?l=vintageconservatism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vintageconservatism.blogspot.com/feeds/2015067847843529893/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1661780681029416266&amp;postID=2015067847843529893' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1661780681029416266/posts/default/2015067847843529893'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1661780681029416266/posts/default/2015067847843529893'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vintageconservatism.blogspot.com/2008/02/charlatan-kerry-blames-tornados-on.html' title='Charlatan Kerry Blames Tornados on Global Warming!'/><author><name>VintageConservative</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00660402315390901235</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pwjSeuTQTcM/SQiDuUxYROI/AAAAAAAAAA8/kCL48V6z0xA/S220/untitled.bmp'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661780681029416266.post-6717250282723424733</id><published>2008-02-01T14:09:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-02-04T07:23:41.324-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Islamic Foundamentalism'/><title type='text'>Barbaric Islamists Strike Again</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8UHNN081&amp;amp;show_article=1"&gt;http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8UHNN081&amp;amp;show_article=1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Medieval Islamists Strike Again-Using Mentally Retarded Woman as Homicide Bombers!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The true face of fundamentalist Islam has shown its face to the world again. On clear and crisp winter day, two mentally handicapped women were used as homicide guinea pigs in a crowded Baghdad market. They were strapped with c4 and sent into an popular pet market filed with unsuspecting Iraqis. The bombs were then remote denonoted killing and maiming some 300 people. This is not the first time these Islamic vermin have used such horrific and barbaric tactics. In January 2005 insurgents used a disabled child in a suicide attack on Election Day. Police at the scene of the bombing said the child appeared to have Down syndrome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those in the West who refuse to confront the evil that is inherent in fundamentalist Islam need to be aware of what our enemy is capable of. Using handicapped woman as a means to kill innocent civilians makes me sick, as it should any normal human being save the socialist vermin. I almost threw up reading this story. How much more proof does the international left need in order to wake up! I wish I could puke my disgust on every socialist stuge alive. Anybody that could equate the so called, "evil" of America/Israel to this needs to have their head examined and then imprisoned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is unlike any other conflict we have fought in recent history. The Nazis, Soviets, Japanese were all evil and did horrible things to their own people but unlike this Islamic trash we are up against now, they at least valued their own lives. Islam values death and destruction and will use any means to achieve their goal of a geopolitical Islamic State. Those of you who may say, "Oh he is just a crazy right winger" I will laugh in your face when you are praying to Mecca, your woman is forced into a hijab and your homosexual brother has just been stoned to death. I could care less about you. Please continue stuffing your face with fast food while your watch CNN and think you actually know what’s going on in the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This war with Islam is simply a continuation of a conflict that has been raging since Muhammad got bored and tried to conquer the world with sword and submission. Yes, submission. After all what does Islam mean, but SUBMISSION! Submission to the will of Allah. Submission to Shira Law. Submission to Islam, the True Religion. Islam is Everything.

We are told what is right from the moment we enter our public institutions of higher learning. Even those who seek out refuge in the private sector are bombarded by these cancerous affects of PC. However, PC is therefore not as strong as it may appear to be; it is merely being propped up by an elaborate structure of enforcement. So liberalism is a high-maintenance kind of system; it conflicts with what is normal in human nature. Egalitarianism, enforced altruism and coerced niceness do not come naturally to people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, one thing PC has working for it is that it appeals to the vanity of human beings; those who religiously practice liberal attitudes, towards minorities, for example, have the reward of "feeling good about themselves". Our liberal society counts racial liberalism as the highest virtue, and people who follow this mantra want to be seen as enlightened. However, what is ironic about this, is that by treating minorites with preferences and special treatments they are no less "racist" then their fore fathers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Post-modern westerners no longer value sexual virtue, for example, or religious piety, but they value racial piety as manifested in PC and multiculturalism. So there is an incentive for people who buy into the secular religion of liberalism to maintain their egalitarian, politically correct postures. Many rewards mount to those who toe the PC line and punishments and social ostracism await those who rebel against the liberal orthodoxies where political correctness is concerned. Think: Don Imus, Michael Savage, and countless others who fell outside of the PC code.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ironically, much of the enforcement of political correctness is not in the hands of the authorities, at least in America; it's democratically enforced, even sub consciously. Our fellow citizens will often react to punish offenders or to make an example of them. We censor ourselves, and if we don't, someone is ready and waiting to do it for us. Who needs the Soviet Union?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think that one of the most important things we can do is to work, first, to free ourselves from the crippling effects of PC. All of us are, by virtue of living in this society, overdosed on PC, and some of us are less aware of how much of it we accept unthinkingly. It infects our whole society, even in innocuous guises like entertainment and commercials.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's part of the air we breathe.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img

A country of communists, socialists, Muslim apologists, and other Marxist types is condemning a politician for speaking out against what he sees as a tide of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Islamization&lt;/span&gt; in Europe, anybody who disagrees with him or his party is labeled, " A Far Right-Wing extremist". This situation speaks volumes to the degree political correctness has gone. Holland, which was a model of the enlightenment era, is now to scared to speak out against a religion that seeks to destroy the West and implement an ideology that is in stark contrast to Western ideals. Sure there are "peaceful Muslims" but where are they? They blindly follow their leaders just like sheeple Germans during the short life of the Third Reich.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When will the West wake up and realize Islam is not just a religion, but a political structure and a Geo-political campaign. Have any of these socialist vermin ever read one passage of the Koran? It's full of violence and intolerance towards the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;dhemmni&lt;/span&gt;( slave class, 2&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;nd&lt;/span&gt;, 3rd class citizens) And anybody who likes to say that there are peaceful passages in the Koran needs to familiarize themselves with the law of Abrogation that Muhammad introduced. This religious decree says that's anything that is written later in the Koran abrogates or cancels anything that is previously written. So anything peaceful is abrogated by the violence preached against non-believers in the latter part of the Q'uran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wake up Western World! The Koran and the religion of Islam is a barbaric, 7&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt; century belief structure that hates homosexuals, Jews, and Christians and seeks to establish Islam at the one True Religion.

While taking in my daily dose of the liberal media last night I cam across a thought provoking news story that made me ask myself, "&lt;strong&gt;What if Martin Luther King Didn't Have a Dream?"&lt;/strong&gt; This was the brilliant question posed by &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;WCCO&lt;/span&gt; during the 10 o'clock news last night. I began to think, what if Martin Luther King didn't have a dream? Well of course black people would still be segregated into poor neighborhoods. They would still view themselves as victims. They would still be demanding reparations for their slavery days. They would still believe everybody owes them something because of the color of their skin. They would still be a counterproductive culture that praises violence, joblessness, single parent families,  a soaring drop out rate, and a redneck ideology that &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;harkens&lt;/span&gt; back to the fringe areas of the Scottish Highlands. (Read; Black Rednecks and White Liberals, by Thomas &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Sowell&lt;/span&gt; for further explanation)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;But wait! Do not get me wrong, Martin Luther King was a great man. He risked his life to speak out against injustice and racial bigotry. He opened the doors for opportunities that didn't exist. He was beacon of truth in a racially divided country. But let us face the facts, Martin Luther King did not bring racial harmony to the black community.  Martin Luther's message has been hijacked by racist demagogues i.e Jesse Jackson, Al &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Sharpton&lt;/span&gt;, Jena 6, etc. Martin Luther King preached individualism and personal strength. He would have been ashamed of people like &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Sharpton&lt;/span&gt; and his apostles.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Marxism that has penetrated the celebrations of Martin Luther King has also seen the elimination of Washington and Lincoln's holidays (now called "President's Day"). But strangely only one man's name now appears as a national holiday. How did this happen? How could the names of the man who led the continental army against the British and founded our nation and the man who freed the slaves be eliminated from national days of memory? Who did this? None other than the socialist race hustlers of America. These people are the true racists crying racism at any opportunity they can get. These are the people that say race is not an issue but bring it up time and time again. These are the people who force diversity down our throats and tell us we must act a certain way around minorities as to not offend them. After all, minorities need special treatment and we must tip toe around anything that has to do with race. These are the people that give special treatment to minorities because they cannot make it without the help of white liberals. These are the same people that say the culture in which we are brought up has nothing do with how we behave. These are the people that say blacks must vote for &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;Obama&lt;/span&gt; because he is black. These are the same people that choose to value someone on the basis of their skin and NOT on the content of their character. These are the same people that have bred a culture of brainless tolerance that is too scared to confront someone of color out because of fear and legal retribution.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1661780681029416266-738648840057581954?l=vintageconservatism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vintageconservatism.blogspot.com/feeds/738648840057581954/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1661780681029416266&amp;postID=738648840057581954' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1661780681029416266/posts/default/738648840057581954'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1661780681029416266/posts/default/738648840057581954'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vintageconservatism.blogspot.com/2008/01/what-if-martin-luther-king-didnt-have_22.html' title='&quot;What if Martin Luther King Didn&apos;t Have A Dream&quot;'/><author><name>VintageConservative</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00660402315390901235</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pwjSeuTQTcM/SQiDuUxYROI/AAAAAAAAAA8/kCL48V6z0xA/S220/untitled.bmp'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661780681029416266.post-128841914187520468</id><published>2008-01-17T12:29:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-17T12:38:34.238-08:00</updated><title type='text'>U.K chooses Appeasement over Security</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;Government renames Islamic terrorism as 'anti-Islamic activity' to woo Muslims&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;U.K to Become Islamic State&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=508901&amp;amp;in_page_id=1770&amp;amp;ct=5"&gt;http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=508901&amp;amp;in_page_id=1770&amp;amp;ct=5&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will not go into great depths in regards to this recent &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Dailymail&lt;/span&gt; article.

They will invade your private property looking for any violation of the state wide smoking ban and then proceed to indoctrinate you on the evils of smoking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Says on SS leader, "We're not out there strolling the streets looking for violations of the law. We are responding to public concerns or complaints when we do receive them," he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apparently this re-education of smokers seems to be working. The real-estate office manager is quoted as saying, "We will definitely think twice before lighting up!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just like Nazi Germany, friends are now turning their own friends in for violations against the State. Co-workers at &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Edina&lt;/span&gt; Reality did not want to do the honorable thing and tell them to smoke else where, they turned to the government for help. After all, the State knows all and we must trust them with our lives and freedoms. Never-mind that there has NEVER been any authoritative study linking second hand smoke to ANY health alignments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will not get into the specifics of the smoking bans that are popping up around the country. You all probably know where I stand on this issue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What makes me angry is that while liberals cry about "lack transportation" our tax payer dollars are now being used to watch smokers and fine them petty amounts of cash. Where is the ACLU in all of this. Answer: they would rather use their time to determine whether or not it is constitutional to have sex in a public restroom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where is the liberal cry of "big brother is watching us"? Liberals are always quick to pin the Nazi label on the right, but let us not forget it was the Nazi's who went after smokers in Germany and completely outlawed the act during the short life of the Third Reich.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This article from the Star and Sickle also mentions the fact that Casinos on Indian-owned land are exempt from the smoking ban. Well of course they are, they are one of the biggest contributors to the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;DFL&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A word of advice for smokers; dig a hole in your back yard, build a atomic bomb like structure and proceed to smoke your lungs away! This will be the only way you will be able to avoid those pesky smoking police and fellow citizens willing to sacrifice friendship for the State.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1661780681029416266-1663544061785027498?l=vintageconservatism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vintageconservatism.blogspot.com/feeds/1663544061785027498/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1661780681029416266&amp;postID=1663544061785027498' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1661780681029416266/posts/default/1663544061785027498'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1661780681029416266/posts/default/1663544061785027498'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vintageconservatism.blogspot.com/2008/01/smoking-gestapo-bust-real-estate-office.html' title='Smoking Gestapo Bust Real Estate Office!'/><author><name>VintageConservative</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00660402315390901235</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pwjSeuTQTcM/SQiDuUxYROI/AAAAAAAAAA8/kCL48V6z0xA/S220/untitled.bmp'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661780681029416266.post-2091227983803531834</id><published>2008-01-12T02:16:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-16T09:38:56.631-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Snow falls for first time in Baghdad-proof of global warming!</title><content type='html'>http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=080111120350.qe0gt6lt&amp;amp;show_article=1&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Snow has fallen in Baghdad Iraq and temps dipped below 30 for the first time in 100 years!

The media is in a frenzy and releasing poll after poll showing Clinton leading over &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Obama&lt;/span&gt;, the Republican Jimmy Carter leading Romney, and vise &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;versa&lt;/span&gt;. But will all this matter is a race that is neck and neck. Only 2 presidents in the history of the Iowa Caucus' have eventually gone on to win the presidency; Jimmy Carter, and George H.W Bush. The Iowa Caucus and all other caucus' are outdated and elitist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Caucus system represents a 18&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt; and 19&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt; century political system. Can anyone honestly believe that a bunch of overfed corn farmers in Iowa will determine the next president? Or a bunch of drunk tax evaders in New Hampshire? In this age of the Internet why do we still operate under this prehistoric system? Why do we not have an online poll for the primary elections? Or why do we not set up polling booths for an online election? Does the rest of the country not matter? Is Iowa and New Hampshire really representative of the demographic of America? I mean where is the outcry from the ACLU and the champagne Liberals? Iowa's demographic is 92% white. New Hampshire's 96%. Does this truly represent America? Come on! Where is the liberal outcry of equality and social justice?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1661780681029416266-330935879246324427?l=vintageconservatism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vintageconservatism.blogspot.com/feeds/330935879246324427/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1661780681029416266&amp;postID=330935879246324427' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1661780681029416266/posts/default/330935879246324427'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1661780681029416266/posts/default/330935879246324427'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vintageconservatism.blogspot.com/2008/01/iowa-caucus-represent-elitist-19th.html' title='Iowa Caucus&apos; Represent Elitist 19th Century Politics'/><author><name>VintageConservative</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00660402315390901235</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pwjSeuTQTcM/SQiDuUxYROI/AAAAAAAAAA8/kCL48V6z0xA/S220/untitled.bmp'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661780681029416266.post-8476785507244724928</id><published>2007-12-27T07:10:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-12-27T13:14:21.477-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bhutto'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Islamic Foundamentalism'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pakistan'/><title type='text'>Benazir Bhutto Killed in Suicide Attack in Pakistan</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;Radical &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Islamo&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Facists&lt;/span&gt; claim another victim:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/28/world/asia/28pakistan.html?_r=1&amp;amp;hp&amp;amp;oref=slogin"&gt;http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/28/world/asia/28pakistan.html?_r=1&amp;amp;hp&amp;amp;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;oref&lt;/span&gt;=&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;slogin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While I may have not agreed with the socialistic politics of Former Prime Minister of Pakistan &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Benazir&lt;/span&gt; Bhutto, I am deeply saddened and troubled by her untimely death. She was a woman ahead of her time in a barbaric Muslim world. She was the first woman leader in any Muslim country, and served as Prime Minister from1988 to 1990 and again from 1993 to 1996.  Bhutto also was the daughter of the politician &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;Zulfikar&lt;/span&gt; Ali Bhutto, who was the leader of Pakistan from 1971 until 1977. She was educated at Harvard University and also studied philosophy, political science and economics at the University of Oxford. She was a woman much ahead of her time in a world dominated by a throwback 7&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt; century sense of morality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How long before the left wing media blames Musharraf instead of the radical Islamics who committed this atrocity? General Musharraf's government junta was trying to prevent situations like this from occurring. While many were critical of Musharrafs autocratic rule he offered the best solutions for the time being. Her killing will only bring more upheaval in the Mid-East world. Pakistan is a very fragile nuclear armed country. It is a hub of  radical Islamic activity and many are intimidated by a person like Bhutto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Radical ISLAMIC terrorists can feel the noose tightening, and they strike in desperation. I am grieved by the assassination Bhutto, along with all those who lost their lives during the attack. My eye's see this grievous destruction from the other side of the world, in the safety of a home with protection taken for granted. I can only imagine the anxiety, and anger, of Pakistan's people today. The uproar that is going to occur will be exactly what the perpetrators of this action want. I can hear the left, in America, crying, "It's all our fault!", and using this as a tool to get our presence out of the Middle East. The noose that tightens around their neck, as we fight the evil they permitted to grow, safe, and secure, on the other side of the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But those that are aware of the threat of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;Islamo&lt;/span&gt; fascists will see through the coming lies of the media. Make no mistake about it, this was a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;assassination&lt;/span&gt; in the name of Islam against a woman who represented  liberal ideals of the West. Bhutto represented everything Islam is against. She was not veiled. She was secular. She was highly educated and  represented a kind of feminism that American &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;feminazis&lt;/span&gt; have forsaken in the name of political correctness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looking at this situation from a Western perspective, this assassination is equivalent to someone blowing up Hillary Clinton, or Margaret Thatcher. This is one of those days that will have a ripple effect for historical outcomes for quite a long time.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1661780681029416266-8476785507244724928?l=vintageconservatism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vintageconservatism.blogspot.com/feeds/8476785507244724928/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1661780681029416266&amp;postID=8476785507244724928' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1661780681029416266/posts/default/8476785507244724928'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1661780681029416266/posts/default/8476785507244724928'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vintageconservatism.blogspot.com/2007/12/benazir-bhutto-killed-in-suicide-attack.html' title='Benazir Bhutto Killed in Suicide Attack in Pakistan'/><author><name>VintageConservative</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00660402315390901235</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pwjSeuTQTcM/SQiDuUxYROI/AAAAAAAAAA8/kCL48V6z0xA/S220/untitled.bmp'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661780681029416266.post-1843555675436869519</id><published>2007-12-14T07:21:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-12-14T12:55:01.107-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Allan Goreleoni'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='global warming'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='icebergs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='environmentalism'/><title type='text'>Allan Goreleoni Compares Sufferings of Holocaust Jews to an Iceberg</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/latestCrisis/idUSL1323823"&gt;http://www.reuters.com/article/latestCrisis/idUSL1323823&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.thedailygreen.com/environmental-news/latest/gore-hitler-47121101"&gt;http://www.thedailygreen.com/environmental-news/latest/gore-hitler-47121101&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Goreleoni&lt;/span&gt; is in Bali, Indonesia this week promoting his doctrine of Apocalypse Now, Global Warming. While there, he stated that to deny Global Warming is akin to the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;pre&lt;/span&gt; WWII appeasement of Hitler. Last time I checked our history books, it was the liberal elites in Britain and the isolationist agenda of FDR that gave rise to Hitler, not the melting of the polar ice caps. What kind of sick twisted man has Gore become? He then went on to increase his alarmist rhetoric to a point of irrational nonsense. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Gorelenoi&lt;/span&gt; compared a global warming denier to someone who would deny the existence of the Holocaust. How could one possibly compare the rise of Hitler and the Holocaust of the Jew to an iceberg?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Goreleoni&lt;/span&gt; has presented the world with one of the the grandest lies of our time. He promulgates junk science and proclaims himself the global warming prophet. If Gore is so sure in his belief the world will reach of point of climactic cataclysm, why does he not debate this with "Global Warming Deniers"? The simple truth is that Gore does not debate. If Al is so sure of his science he should welcome debate, not try to minimize it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How can one man have such a condescending, narcissistic and nihilistic attitude towards the world? What else can you expect from a man who proclaimed himself inventor of the Internet and a victim of an "unfair" election in 2000? Even if &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Goreleoni's&lt;/span&gt; theory is correct and humans have caused global warming, his theory would follow that we can stop global warming. This is further proof of how inflated this man's ego is. To stop the earth from going through it's natural cycle's of cold and warm periods is like saying we can stop continental shifting. His ego has reached a dangerous level and his anointment by the left wing media as savior of the world has gone to his head. If Mr. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;Goreleoni&lt;/span&gt; had his way, he would probably burn Global Warming heretics at the stake, if he could find a way to lower CO2 emissions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meteorologists cannot predict the weather in Minneapolis with any degree of reasonable accuracy out 2 to 3 days, but a politician backed by socialist scientists can predict with absolute certainty what will happen to the global climate and environment twenty plus years into the future.

The Sharia Cruiser? The Gilded Cage? "Car makers target Saudi women despite driving ban," from &lt;a href="http://www.khaleejtimes.com/DisplayArticleNew.asp?xfile=data/middleeast/2007/December/middleeast_December157.xml&amp;amp;section=middleeast&amp;amp;col=" target="_blank"&gt;Reuters&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;RIYADH - If Saudi Arabia ever lets women drive, it will be a windfall for the automobile industry which has already seen sales to women rise, executives said at a motor show this week.&lt;br /&gt;Saudi Arabia, which imposes a strict version of Islamic law, is the only country in the world where women are banned from driving. Religious authorities say allowing women to drive would lead to gender-mixing and take women away from their role as child-rearers.&lt;br /&gt;But industry figures at the Riyadh Motor Show 2008 this week said they are already reaping the benefits from women owning cars, even if they need chauffeurs to drive them. The economy is booming in Saudi Arabia, the world’s top oil exporter with a population of 24 million.&lt;br /&gt;More and more Saudi women are buying cars and manufacturers are responding to the trend, said Ali Alshihri of Toyota 7203.T, citing the Camry, Aurion and Avalon as women’s favourites.&lt;br /&gt;‘Older women and single mothers are the main buyers from our showrooms,’ he said, adding manufacturers are producing colours seen as more appealing to women such as pink and purple.&lt;br /&gt;Car ownership by women rose 60 percent from 2003 to 2006, according to figures published by state oil firm Saudi Aramco this year. It said 75,522 women owned 120,334 vehicles by the end of 2006.&lt;br /&gt;Some residents believe the rising sales could create more pressure on the authorities to sanction women driving.&lt;br /&gt;King Abdullah has said such a change could happen when society is ready to accept it. The ban on women’s driving has been a hot topic of debate since the king came to power in 2005 promising reforms.&lt;br /&gt;‘If women can drive, then the car industry will be booming,’ said a sales executive with a major car manufacturer.&lt;br /&gt;‘There is increasing demand to buy cars, especially from working women. The women’s workforce in Saudi Arabia is becoming powerful and influential. You find business women everywhere and business geared towards women is growing rapidly.’&lt;br /&gt;Wednesday, the last day of the four-day show, is reserved for ‘families’, as is Saudi custom—the only day when women are allowed to visit the exhibition.&lt;br /&gt;An executive from Nissan 7201.SE said the Japanese firm would target Saudi women with its Infiniti model.&lt;br /&gt;Yann Lassade of General Motors GM.N in Dubai said its new Cadillac was being marketed in Saudi Arabia for the first time with female buyers in mind—but not those who drive.&lt;br /&gt;The Cadillac comes with special control mechanisms in the rear seat for everything but the steering wheel.&lt;br /&gt;‘The new design is perfect for a chauffeur-driven car, with all the space and controls at the back seat,’ Lassade said.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1661780681029416266-7516454059042359774?l=vintageconservatism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vintageconservatism.blogspot.com/feeds/7516454059042359774/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1661780681029416266&amp;postID=7516454059042359774' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1661780681029416266/posts/default/7516454059042359774'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1661780681029416266/posts/default/7516454059042359774'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vintageconservatism.blogspot.com/2007/12/cadillac-targets-saudi-women-with-cars.html' title='Cadillac Targets Saudi women with cars sporting rear-seat controls'/><author><name>VintageConservative</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00660402315390901235</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pwjSeuTQTcM/SQiDuUxYROI/AAAAAAAAAA8/kCL48V6z0xA/S220/untitled.bmp'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661780681029416266.post-7479581559103389842</id><published>2007-12-06T08:03:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-12-07T11:53:42.718-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='global warming'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='environmentalism'/><title type='text'>Lower Speeds=Lower CO2 emissions?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://wcco.com/local/speed.limit.green.2.602925.html"&gt;http://wcco.com/local/speed.limit.green.2.602925.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The crazed environmental left now believes lowering speed limits will somehow lower CO2 emissions.

This news provided a new lease on life for liberals and the MSM alike. They have jumped on the news with glee and a self congratulatory pat on the back. "I told you so! Iran is not developing nuclear weapons! They only seek peaceful nuclear energy!" Nevermind that they are one of the top oil producers in the world and have no need for nuclear power. Nevermind that they wish to establish the Caliph throughout the world. Nevermind that they fund terrorist activities the world around. Nevermind that they wish to push Israel into the Mediterranean. Nevermind they follow a throwback document that views the world through a 7th century lens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anybody with half a brain should be worried by the combination of elements coming together in Tehran: a radical, terror-sponsoring regime, convinced that it is operating under divine guidance, armed with nuclear weapons and equipped with a range of delivery systems including long-range missiles that can target major European cities thousands of miles away. Military experts in the west know that not only Israel would be in danger. Indeed, even from the Arab media it is evident that Iran's "nuclear programme" is perceived by the moderate Arab states as a threat to the security of the entire Middle East.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, the left is under the illusion that if Iran says it stopped its nuclear weapons program, then it must be true! Now what I find especially fascinating is that the international Bush hating left is always quick to dismiss U.S intelligence as faulty or agenda driven, but when the intelligence is in favor of their appeasement agenda then it become legitimate. Since when should U.S intelligence be the foundation for international action against Iran? Does this not go against following the doctrine of US aggression? You see by the left recognizing this report they contradict their own beliefs and go against their own doctrine of Anti U.S imperalism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But what is really new with post modern liberals? Theiraxis of evil consists of American racism, sexism and imperialism. Evil does not exist. It is all relevant in the eye of the beholder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since when is it the job of the U.S. to police the world, as the politically correct lib would say?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Defense minister, Ehud Barak rightfully has stated that, "It is possible that this is correct, but I do not think that it is our place to make assessments about US [policy]. It is our responsibility to ensure that the correct things are done. Constantly speaking about the Iranian threat, as we have done recently, is not the right thing to do… words do not stop missiles," Barak told Army Radio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He went on to say, "There are differences in the assessments of different organizations in the world about this, and only time will tell who is right."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barak is right, why the hell should Israel and the rest of the world base its own security on a U.S intelligence report?We all know how reliable these reports have been in the past.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1661780681029416266-6518507528884555707?l=vintageconservatism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vintageconservatism.blogspot.com/feeds/6518507528884555707/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1661780681029416266&amp;postID=6518507528884555707' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1661780681029416266/posts/default/6518507528884555707'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1661780681029416266/posts/default/6518507528884555707'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vintageconservatism.blogspot.com/2007/12/msm-looks-to-anything-to-appease.html' title='MSM Looks for Anything to Appease a Nuclear Iran'/><author><name>VintageConservative</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00660402315390901235</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pwjSeuTQTcM/SQiDuUxYROI/AAAAAAAAAA8/kCL48V6z0xA/S220/untitled.bmp'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661780681029416266.post-4832654266682798227</id><published>2007-11-27T10:23:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-11-27T11:44:53.434-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Palestine'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bush'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Faux Conservatism'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Olmert'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Israel'/><title type='text'>Bush and Olmert favor "Palestinian State" over Israeli Security</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=58878"&gt;http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=58878&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How many times will these self-serving, inflated politicians have to get together to finally realize Palestine does not care nor does it's cause warrant a state. Since when have Arabs ever been nationalistic? They are a conglomerate of tribes and kingdoms. The modern Middle East is a creation developed by Colonial Britain. The Palestinians are a invention, created out of Arab self loathing and a chance to bring back Arab greatness. Palestine was strategically developed in order to make the poor Arabs look like the victims of Israeli imperialist aggression. If you do not believe me, look at the willingness of other Arab nations to take in Palestinian refugees. Would you believe me when I say Israel takes in more Palestinian refugees then any other country in the world? Of course not. Because the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;MSM&lt;/span&gt; and Arab special interests suppress this truth in order to promulgate "Palestine" as the victim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palestine is an emotional dichotomy that appeals to both the ignorant liberal as well propagating Arab victim hood. As a result of being cloaked in the Marxist dialectic as well as being anti-American/Western, it has become a textbook cause worth supporting amongst liberal elites.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apparently this cancerous disease of Palestinian Statehood has grown in the mind of Bush and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Olmert&lt;/span&gt; as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These "peace summits" are nothing more then a chance for Bush to have a photo opp and to make himself look better in the public eye. If the Israelis continue on the path of appeasement and land reconciliation they will only  bring about their own destruction. When will people realize that the Arab does not want a Israeli state to exist! They could care less about Palestine and a creation of its State. They care more about implementing Sharia Law and exterminating the guilt ridden liberal Jew.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Israelis have been more the willing to work with the invention that is Palestine. They have given back settlements and tracks of land only to have them become staging grounds to launch rocket attacks back at Israel. They have freed hundreds of Palestinian militants only to be slapped in the face. They have given millions of aid to the Arabs of the pseudo nation of Palestine only to have this money used to blow up buses and kill school children in downtown Tel &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Aviv&lt;/span&gt;. Enough is enough. Israeli must begin to rid itself of this Jewish guilt and begin to build a stronger Israel. Bush, Rice, and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Olmert&lt;/span&gt; only exist to appease the Arab militants and to feed their need for approval points.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1661780681029416266-4832654266682798227?l=vintageconservatism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vintageconservatism.blogspot.com/feeds/4832654266682798227/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1661780681029416266&amp;postID=4832654266682798227' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1661780681029416266/posts/default/4832654266682798227'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1661780681029416266/posts/default/4832654266682798227'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vintageconservatism.blogspot.com/2007/11/bush-and-olmert-favor-palestinian-state.html' title='Bush and Olmert favor &quot;Palestinian State&quot; over Israeli Security'/><author><name>VintageConservative</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00660402315390901235</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pwjSeuTQTcM/SQiDuUxYROI/AAAAAAAAAA8/kCL48V6z0xA/S220/untitled.bmp'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661780681029416266.post-5879386112496556922</id><published>2007-11-21T11:24:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-11-21T11:36:41.361-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Post Modern Liberalism Clinton Islam Sharia'/><title type='text'>Clinton Urges Whitehouse to Condemn Saudi Rape Verdict?!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/meast/11/21/saudi.rape.victim/index.html"&gt;http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/meast/11/21/saudi.rape.victim/index.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So now that Ms. Hillary has spoken out against this despicable verdict handed down by the Saudi Courts, i.e Sharia Law the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;MSM&lt;/span&gt; has decided it must be a worthy news story. I suggest you read the article, but spend most of your time reading the comments left by people. Catch phrases such as, "this is just a radical sect of Islam, " that is doing this. Really? The countries of Saudi Arabia and Iran have a combined population of over 70 million people. These countries operate under a Sharia, or Islamic law court of "justice". I would not consider 70 million people as a radical sect. I would define this as a their system of justice and one that is promoted in hundreds of Koranic verses.  Another popular point is the popular various interpretations of the doctrine of multiculturalism.  "We consider the Saudi law regarding chaperoning women to be wrong. The rest of the world considers the U.S. death penalty laws to be wrong. Who are we to judge what is right for another culture or nation?" Are you serious? Since when are psychopathic killers and child molesting murders even comparable to a rape victim that gets beat and put in jail for a crime committed against HER! This is ANOTHER example of the deteriorating effects post modern liberalism has on your ability to think clearly.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1661780681029416266-5879386112496556922?l=vintageconservatism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vintageconservatism.blogspot.com/feeds/5879386112496556922/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1661780681029416266&amp;postID=5879386112496556922' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1661780681029416266/posts/default/5879386112496556922'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1661780681029416266/posts/default/5879386112496556922'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vintageconservatism.blogspot.com/2007/11/clinton-urges-whitehouse-to-condemn.html' title='Clinton Urges Whitehouse to Condemn Saudi Rape Verdict?!'/><author><name>VintageConservative</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00660402315390901235</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pwjSeuTQTcM/SQiDuUxYROI/AAAAAAAAAA8/kCL48V6z0xA/S220/untitled.bmp'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661780681029416266.post-1529674119014874074</id><published>2007-11-20T07:07:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-11-20T07:56:32.155-08:00</updated><title type='text'>SexPlay in Kindergarden-Proof Liberalism is a Mental Disorder</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.aftenposten.no/english/local/article2050710.ece"&gt;http://www.aftenposten.no/english/local/article2050710.ece&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As if any of us needed more proof liberalism is a mental disorder, the socialists in Norway now believe that sex ed as early as kindergarden may be beneficial to a childs development?!?!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1661780681029416266-1529674119014874074?l=vintageconservatism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vintageconservatism.blogspot.com/feeds/1529674119014874074/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1661780681029416266&amp;postID=1529674119014874074' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1661780681029416266/posts/default/1529674119014874074'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1661780681029416266/posts/default/1529674119014874074'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vintageconservatism.blogspot.com/2007/11/sexplay-in-kindergarden-proof.html' title='SexPlay in Kindergarden-Proof Liberalism is a Mental Disorder'/><author><name>VintageConservative</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00660402315390901235</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pwjSeuTQTcM/SQiDuUxYROI/AAAAAAAAAA8/kCL48V6z0xA/S220/untitled.bmp'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661780681029416266.post-2451046483759829076</id><published>2007-11-15T07:21:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-11-15T13:37:09.547-08:00</updated><title type='text'>A Mindnumbing, Thoughtless Society.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,311785,00.html"&gt;http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,311785,00.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; This mind numbing, pseudo intellectually stimulating waste land we have produced is appalling. After reading this article about the dangerous dependence upon &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;SMS&lt;/span&gt; I have concluded that it is the society in which me live that is dangerous not the government. People now to afraid to confront basic human emotions. We have resorted to using our mobile phones to break the bad news. We, as a society have become so dependent on artificial means of communicating that we have forsaken basic human interaction. The future of our society looks bleak. Entire relationships exist on the Internet and telephone which are void of any face-to-face interaction. People would rather type a message to someone than verbally communicate their thoughts. This is much too hard. People do not speak up for fear of rejection and verbal castigation of their person.  People are afraid of confrontation. The solution? Bypass it all with one &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;SMS&lt;/span&gt; and your problems will be resolved. The anxiety can be lifted from your mind and you can rest assured that you will not have to deal with that crazy ex-lover any longer. However, there are consequences with these actions. We as a society have become so emotional when it comes to our politics, while at the same time rejecting individual emotions for the collective good. You and me are not individuals but part of the collective society which is pushing us further towards a Orwellian induced coma. Nobody seems to realize that by adapting to these "new and exciting" technologies we loose a part of who we are as individuals. We are robots, controlled by an artificial means of communication and a rejection of all that makes us different. I am not saying we should reject technology. I am not of the type that believes in  &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;pre&lt;/span&gt;-industrial Romanticism. Technology is a good thing. It makes lives easier for some and brings industry and commerce to society. It has expanded our life &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;expectancy&lt;/span&gt; and made the world a better place to live. People can actually enjoy their lives, unlike during the medieval era when you were married by 12 and dead by 30. What I am saying is people need to embrace and confront their individual emotions. People need to experience rejection, sorrow, depression, anxiety, and anger. These are normal functions of the human spirit. To try and cloak them with an SMS will get us nowhere and will only breed emotional ignorance and a false sense of identity.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1661780681029416266-2451046483759829076?l=vintageconservatism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vintageconservatism.blogspot.com/feeds/2451046483759829076/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1661780681029416266&amp;postID=2451046483759829076' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1661780681029416266/posts/default/2451046483759829076'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1661780681029416266/posts/default/2451046483759829076'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vintageconservatism.blogspot.com/2007/11/mindnumbing-thoughtless-society.html' title='A Mindnumbing, Thoughtless Society.'/><author><name>VintageConservative</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00660402315390901235</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pwjSeuTQTcM/SQiDuUxYROI/AAAAAAAAAA8/kCL48V6z0xA/S220/untitled.bmp'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661780681029416266.post-6918162859361527252</id><published>2007-11-09T09:07:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-11-09T12:51:28.492-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Scientists point to global warming for cause of tidal wave</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.turkishpress.com/news.asp?id=201618"&gt;http://www.turkishpress.com/news.asp?id=201618&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A giant tidal wave heading for the Eastern English coast receded earlier Friday morning without much Damage.

The movie is about a ambitious senator, Tom Cruise, a politically charged professor, Robert Redford, and bleeding heart liberal journalist, Meryl &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Streep&lt;/span&gt;. The story begins after two determined students at a West Coast University, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Arian&lt;/span&gt; and Ernest follow the inspiration of their idealistic professor, Redford and attempt to do something important with their lives. But when the two make the bold decision to join the battle in Afghanistan, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Malley&lt;/span&gt; is both moved and distraught. Now, as &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;Arian&lt;/span&gt; and Ernest fight for survival in the field, they become the string that binds together two disparate stories on opposite sides of America. In California, an anguished Dr. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;Malley&lt;/span&gt; attempts to reach a privileged but disaffected student who is the very opposite of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;Arian&lt;/span&gt; and Ernest. Meanwhile, in Washington D.C. the charismatic Presidential hopeful, Senator Cruise  who plays the shady, ambitious and over dramatic senator is about to give a bombshell story to a hostile liberal journalist. As arguments, memories and bullets fly, the three stories are woven ever more tightly together, revealing how each of these Americans has a "profoundly deep" impact on each other and the world. However this movie fails horribly its noble intentions.&lt;br /&gt;The movie plays a like long version of the typical anti-war &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;moveon&lt;/span&gt;.org commercials and the same old talking points heard on AM950.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do not have a problem with a movie trying to convey a political message. I realize this movie could be considered anti-war which I really have no problem with. However what I do have a problem with is the liberal elites promulgating this movie as having some kind of deep political meaning. I have seen many anti-war movies which I enjoyed i.e Born on the forth of July, Full Metal Jacket, Hamburger Hill, Platoon, etc. All of which make US soldiers look like barbarians and the enemy, victims of the Imperialist, colonialist, Republican war machine. The Hollywood elites have every right to make as much propaganda as they want and try to force it down our throats. But this movie is simply horrible. The casting was so off it makes you feel sorry at the pathetic attempt of Redford in trying to elevate himself to a kind of deity of political correctness.  Tom Cruise is equally awful. His character comes off as this hot shot Top Gun wanna be who over exaggerates his patriotic concern for the U.S.   Robert Redford looks like he has overdosed on &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;Botox&lt;/span&gt; and reminds me of the typical anti-war idealist who thinks his two cents actually make all the difference. Meryl &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;Streep's&lt;/span&gt; character was by far the best, and this is not saying much. She plays the typical bleeding heart liberal who sick and tired of Republicans and their evil manipulative ways. However she does play her part well and it could be considered the most authentic of the movie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The simplistic message of the movie is that Democrats seem to do what is right, while Republicans are deliberately putting soldiers in harms way for political gain. This simplistic portrayal of the political landscape is obtuse and hypocritical knowing that Democrats voted along side of the Republicans for both the Iraq and Afghanistan invasions. Instead of trying to be holier then thou and overdosing themselves on political correctness,  the goal should be an united effort to confront Islamic Terror with force and an &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;unabating&lt;/span&gt; effort to crush its backwards medieval view of the world. This movie is a cliched effort by the left and what hear he from them on a daily basis. I suggest if you are interested in the leftist mindset and care to digest some anti-American rhetoric, you can browse the Internet or go talk to a political science professor on any American campus and you will get the gist of what this movie is all about.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1661780681029416266-6497719914721741190?l=vintageconservatism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vintageconservatism.blogspot.com/feeds/6497719914721741190/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1661780681029416266&amp;postID=6497719914721741190' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1661780681029416266/posts/default/6497719914721741190'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1661780681029416266/posts/default/6497719914721741190'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vintageconservatism.blogspot.com/2007/11/lions-for-lambs.html' title='Lions for Lambs'/><author><name>VintageConservative</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00660402315390901235</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pwjSeuTQTcM/SQiDuUxYROI/AAAAAAAAAA8/kCL48V6z0xA/S220/untitled.bmp'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661780681029416266.post-6546068449354907456</id><published>2007-11-02T08:38:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-11-02T09:05:06.647-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=53103"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=53103&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you think things are going bad for us in Iraq, what about on the streets of American cities?

I used &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;MySpace&lt;/span&gt; to blog every once and while about random things on my mind.  At first I was very frustrated that I could not view &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;MySpace&lt;/span&gt; or &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;FaceBook&lt;/span&gt; for that matter. How could these people ban my only way of communicating with people that otherwise would not exist!? But after a few weeks of coming down from the social networking high, I found the release of this addiction comforting and relieving. I was no longer at the mercy of who's who on &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;FaceBook&lt;/span&gt;/&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;MySpace&lt;/span&gt; or what some random kind I met at a party was up to. I could now go about my life in anonymity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways every morning on my ride to work I like catch a bit of the Stephanie Miller show on AM950 &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;AirAmerica&lt;/span&gt;. Stephine Miller is William E. Millers daughter. WM ran with Barry Goldwater in the presidential race of 1964. Her show features a segment called &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;RightWing&lt;/span&gt; World which I find amusing and childish. Basically it is collection of sound bites from your mainstream "conservative" types i.e The leprechaun(Bill &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;O'Reilly&lt;/span&gt;) Laura Ingram, Dick Morris, etc. She will play a clip and with it will follow your typical condescending liberal remarks, ad homonym attacks, and ridiculous self-congratulatory machine generated clapping. It is really quite amusing how childish and moronic this woman portrays herself as. She never attacks their ideas but rather resorts to calling them "right wing tools". She embodies everything that the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;condescending&lt;/span&gt; liberal attitude stands for. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;The mentality&lt;/span&gt; of the left is"how could you possibly not agree with me?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; The problem starts when the liberal is presented with an idea and the chance to debate the issue. They do not bother debating but rather resort to the Marxist tactic of attacking you as a person.  They laugh at you and call you names as if they were 2&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;nd&lt;/span&gt; graders. Their ability to form a rational thought has been blurred and eaten away by the cancerous disease of Marxism. The typical leftist bashes not what you are trying to discover intellectually but rather would discredit your person in order to make you an &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;un&lt;/span&gt;-person. However, the most amusing thing about Stephanie Miller is not her elite liberalism, but the fact she is running with Barry Goldwater's daughter in the 2008 presidential race. The fact that this is just a ridiculous publicity stunt is not why I find this whole thing fascinating. How could Stephannie Miller and CC Goldwater possibly think they resemble anything Goldwater? They stand in contrast to everything he fought against i.e Marxism, elitism, big government, social welfare, and the religious movement of environmentalism.  Just because Goldwater was suspicious of the Christian right-wing and believed gays had the right to fight in the military DOES NOT make you the anointed decedents of Mr. Barry Goldwater. All Ms. Miller does is perpetuate the disease of liberalism. She is a mold straight out of 1984, a walking talking contradiction to herself and what the word liberal fundamentally means.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1661780681029416266-5316880192894693965?l=vintageconservatism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vintageconservatism.blogspot.com/feeds/5316880192894693965/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1661780681029416266&amp;postID=5316880192894693965' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1661780681029416266/posts/default/5316880192894693965'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1661780681029416266/posts/default/5316880192894693965'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vintageconservatism.blogspot.com/2007/11/friday.html' title='Friday'/><author><name>VintageConservative</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00660402315390901235</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pwjSeuTQTcM/SQiDuUxYROI/AAAAAAAAAA8/kCL48V6z0xA/S220/untitled.bmp'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661780681029416266.post-7960237366293823333</id><published>2007-11-01T13:52:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-11-01T13:54:21.576-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1192380684324&amp;amp;pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1192380684324&amp;amp;pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Laura Bush embraces Islamic head dress in campaign to appease Arab world and multicultural terrorists.

I am a mid 20's white mate. Yes, that is right I am a white male and proud of it. We are a dying breed and we need to begin to speak up for our cause. Of course all you PC pied pipers out there would take offense to this. However, no more offense should be taken then a black male proclaiming that he is proud of his African heritage Many of you know how I stand politically. It has been quite a rough political ride for me these last couple of years. If you were to ask me 5 years ago where I stand in regards to politics, I would have said that I was a proud liberal. That I hate all things conservative and I loathe this United States of America in which I was brought up in. I would have spouted that same talking points heard on a daily basis from mainstream left and would have unknowingly regarded Karl Marx my god. However as time progressed and I became more disilluisioned by the state of political affairs I began to explore other channels to express where I stood in the war of Ideas. I began to read books by David Horowitz, Thomas Sowell, and other libertarian/conservative writers. I began to realize that after years of leftist indoctrination I was not a contemporary liberal by any means. I had the Iron curtain of the left unveiled from my eyes and I was no longer at the mercy of Marxism. You see this is the evil that Marxism spreads. It makes you think you are something that you are not. It herds everyone into a group mentality and anybody that may disagree with you is obviously not as intelligent as yourself. "how could that person possibly believe that" mentality is what American liberalism really amounts too. It spreads a ideology of intolerance towards other points of view, a condescending attitude towards dissenters, and a nihilistic view of human nature. First off, this blog is an attempt to convey my feelings about the current state of political warfare, both domestically and internationally. I will talk about a range of issues from the socialist despot Nancy Pelosi to the fiscal socialist himself, GW. Let me also clarify that I am NOT a Republican. Recently, I began to see how very un-conservative the Republican Party really is, and I was truly surprised to see that many Republicans are quite socially liberal, limiting their conservatism to fiscal matters. And as 9/11 occurred, and really shocked me out of a complacency about our security in our own country, I was stunned to see that our President had no intention of closing the borders, cracking down on Islamic militants in our country, or deporting anyone. At the same time it seemed that I noticed our cities filling up with third-world immigrants who displayed everything from indifference to outright hostility to all things American. And yet our administration and the Republican Party, who I naively believed to be committed to preserving America and conserving our traditions, seemed oblivious to both those things. Our President and his unquestioning followers began to show their very un-conservative principles, and the fact that the President began to aggressively push amnesty for the increasingly visible illegal alien population, really convinced me that neither this administration nor the GOP had America's safety and survival at heart.I am a conservative in the classical liberalism sense. I believe in free markets, Capitalism, individual liberty, strong security for our nations boarders, and traditional American values. I guess some of you may label me a Libertarian. I would not reject this because of then unrealistic isolationist approach to Foreign Policy. I reject what the Republicans currently stand for and I believe they are almost worse then the Democrats. You see at least with the Democrats you know what your getting; big government, organic food, carbon powered lawnmowers, and a belief that everyone and everything can be explained in class terms. But with the Republicans they are more sneaky about it. They say they are for less government but then we have a fiscal socialist for a president. He has outspent LBJ, Kennedy, Truman, and Nixon combined, and this is EXCLUDING the expenses we amassed in the "war on terror", which should be labeled what it really is, A war against radical Islam and the totalitarian elements of the religion of Islam itself. But you must see that Republicans are just as PC as the left. The cancerous disease of Political correctness spreads to many hearts and minds. It can not tell the difference between the Democrat or the Republican Take for example the term, "compassionate conservatism" what else does this imply other then conservatives were not compassionate before GW decided to coin this Orwellian PC phrase? This blog will focus discuss mainly around current events and will be a platform for my rants about whatever is on my mind. Feel free to comment on what is discussed. Attack my character like the liberal you most likely are, but if we really want to have a constructive conversation attack my idea. Any pea brained individual can make fun of another, however, it is the attempt to discredit another's idea through debate and reason that really makes all the difference.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1661780681029416266-462318812680860100?l=vintageconservatism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vintageconservatism.blogspot.com/feeds/462318812680860100/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1661780681029416266&amp;postID=462318812680860100' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1661780681029416266/posts/default/462318812680860100'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1661780681029416266/posts/default/462318812680860100'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vintageconservatism.blogspot.com/2007/11/introduction_634.html' title='Introduction'/><author><name>VintageConservative</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00660402315390901235</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pwjSeuTQTcM/SQiDuUxYROI/AAAAAAAAAA8/kCL48V6z0xA/S220/untitled.bmp'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661780681029416266.post-5935837904895172061</id><published>2007-11-01T11:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-11-01T11:31:03.084-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/people_naomi_campbell;_ylt=AknnCe43g8kV3zDMkVIer2J.KcMA"&gt;http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/people_naomi_campbell;_ylt=AknnCe43g8kV3zDMkVIer2J.KcMA&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is with all these Hollywood Communists supporting this turd world dictator?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1661780681029416266-5935837904895172061?l=vintageconservatism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vintageconservatism.blogspot.com/feeds/5935837904895172061/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1661780681029416266&amp;postID=5935837904895172061' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1661780681029416266/posts/default/5935837904895172061'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1661780681029416266/posts/default/5935837904895172061'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vintageconservatism.blogspot.com/2007/11/httpnews.html' title=''/><author><name>VintageConservative</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00660402315390901235</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pwjSeuTQTcM/SQiDuUxYROI/AAAAAAAAAA8/kCL48V6z0xA/S220/untitled.bmp'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661780681029416266.post-1710438507059701205</id><published>2007-11-01T11:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-11-01T11:27:17.330-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewCulture.asp?Page=/Culture/archive/200710/CUL20071031b.html"&gt;http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewCulture.asp?Page=/Culture/archive/200710/CUL20071031b.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;'Islamophobia' Used to Crush Muslim Dissent, Panel Says&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;These rats are using the old liberal playing card of Political correctness in order to spread their totalitarian Religious agenda on the West.
