So, what is a "dhimmi"?

Ever heard of the Mafia running "protection rackets"? If the local baker, or grocer, or florist or barber pays the mob a certain percentage of their revenue, the Mafia will "make sure nuttin' happens" to their property, thus offering "protection." Of course, what that payment "protected" them from was the Mafia they were paying to "protect" them. See also extortion.

That's what "dhimmitude" is. You pay the local mosque a certain amount of money, they'll make sure "nuttin' happens" to you. Of course, if you don't, then "sumtin' might happen." And guess who would "make it happen." That is the type of government that people like Nancy Pelosi, Jimmy Carter, Harry Reid, and the left-wing media in this country want us to live under.

For a fuller explanation, go here.

The Democratic Party: ready to lead us...

...right into oblivion. OK, they want to sit there and say that we should trust THEM on national security issues. But, showing their true colors (Red and gold, with a hammer and sickle in the upper corner. Or green and white, with a crescent moon. Take your pick.) as the dhimmis they really are, they just can't have you and me watching out for--and reporting--suspicious behavior. I guess it might hurt someone's feeeelings (via Captain's Quarters):

Democrats are trying to pull a provision from a homeland security bill that will protect the public from being sued for reporting suspicious behavior that may lead to a terrorist attack, according to House Republican leadership aides.

The legislation, which moves to a House and Senate conference committee this afternoon, will implement final recommendations from the 911 Commission.

Rep. Pete King, New York Republican and ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee, and Rep. Steve Pearce, New Mexico Republican, sponsored the bill after a group of Muslim imams filed a lawsuit against U.S. Airways and unknown or “John Doe” passengers after they were removed for suspicious behavior aboard Flight 300 from Minneapolis to Phoenix on Nov. 20 before their removal.

Oh my gosh!! This might lead to...profiling!!! Ummm, yeah. That's the point. We should be profiling people who act suspiciously, who inadvertantly (**wink wink**) leave baggagge laying around in an airport, or who chant stuff like, "Praise Osama bin Laden!!" Folks....these people SHOULD BE PROFILED!!! Their activity SHOULD BE REPORTED, and those doing the reporting SHOULD BE PROTECTED FROM LAWSUITS!!

All the Dhimmicrat party wants to do is make it easier for their pals in the jihad to carry out their attacks on us, so that they can "come to our rescue", or some other such nonsense. No wonder Congress' popularity is in the toilet (worse than even the "Worst President Ever"!!) But, hey, we should trust them to defend this country.

UPDATE: Actually, Congress' popularity is quite a bit lower than the toilet. It's sitting pretty at 14%. (h/t: IMAO)

Dictionary of Liberalism

Following are the true definitions of many words and phrases. Will be updated occasionally.

"Cold Cash" Jefferson indicted

From Stop the ACLU comes the story that we have been waiting for, and that Queen Nan from SanFran has been waiting...to cover up. Yep, she and Dingy Harry and Schmuck Chumer and all their buddies are going to deal with corrpution forcefully! They're going to get rid of the "culture of corruption", by gum! Or, maybe not.

Rep. William Jefferson, D-La., was indicted Monday on federal charges of racketeering, soliciting bribes and money-laundering in a long- running bribery investigation into business deals he tried to broker in Africa. The indictment handed up in federal court in Alexandria., Va., Monday is more than an inch thick and list 16 alleged violations of federal law that could keep Jefferson in prison for up to 200 years.

Here we go, folks! second verse (actually, I think we're up to, like, verse 10 or something), same as the first:

THIS WILL BE THE MOST ETHICAL CONGRESS EVER!!

Sure thing, Queen Nan. So, when ya gonna whip out that royal scepter and drum ol' Willy C-Note out of your "most ethical congress ever"?? Eh, you're probably right. I doubt she will either. But, that's what the American voters get for believing that Democrats would want to have anything to do with ethics. Oh, by the way...

"Most ethical congress ever"--Google it.

Today's episode is brought to you...

by the letter "D". That stands for "dishonest", "distatseful", and "Democrats". And the drumbeat continues. The question again, in case you missed it any of the other times I asked it: Isn't this supposed to be "The Most Ethical Congress Ever"? Weren't Queen Nan and Dingy Harry going to clean up Washington, and reign in the whole "Culture of Corruption" thingy? Eh, not so much. From Robert Novak's Town Hall column:

WASHINGTON -- Democrats controlling the House of Representatives demonstrated this month the hollowness of their claim that they have ended the corruption of 12 Republican years. Rep. John Murtha quietly slipped into the Intelligence authorization bill two earmarks costing taxpayers $5.5 million. The beneficiary was a contractor headquartered in Murtha's hometown of Johnstown, Pa., whose executives have been generous political contributors to the powerful 17-term congressman.

This scandalous conduct would be unknown except for reforms by the new Democratic majority. But the remodeled system is not sufficiently transparent to expose in a timely manner machinations of Murtha and fellow earmarkers to his colleagues, much less to the public. It took Republican Rep. Jeff Flake of Arizona, the leading House earmark-buster, to discover the truth.

[...]

Nor do Democrats show interest in curbing earmarks. Rep. Silvestre Reyes of Texas, Pelosi's hand-picked Intelligence Committee chairman, blamed non-disclosure of earmarks on a mistake by the Government Printing Office. House Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey first skirted the new rules by claiming no earmarks were contained in the supplemental appropriations. Last week, he decreed that henceforth, earmarks in his bills would not be revealed until a measure passes both the House and Senate. The test for Democrats is what they will do about Murtha now that it is known he rewards contributors with federal funds.

No, don't you understand, it's the REPUBLICANS that are the bad people!! The Democrats only use your money for good things! Hey, are you questioning the Democrats' patriotism?

Is there funny stuff going on on both sides of the aisle? Yes. Is it ever going to end? Who knows. But this country got bamboozled by Queen Nan from SanFran and the rest of her liberal cronies, and we're paying for it.

Keeping an open mind only allows your brains to spill out

And, most likely, at the hands of an Islamofascist.



Saw this video at Hot Air. One of the commenters there said:

How long before this is pulled from YouTube?

CookeyD on May 23, 2007 at 10:33 AM

So, before YouTube decided to pull it, I wanted to post it for you. I don't know who's narrating it, but they hit the nail right on the head. It is the attitude that more Americans ought to have when it comes to bowing down to Islamofascists. Watch, listen, and decide if you really want to let Islamofascists run this country.

Queen Nan whips out her royal scepter

What did we hear before the November '06 election? "Most ethical Congress", "work together", blah blah blah. And the American voters ate it up. Well, it's time for the American voters to grab a coffee, rub their bloodshot eyes, and shake off the hangover. Queen Nan fron SanFran ain't that girl that looked so good at closing time (via The Anchoress):

Today, however, Powerline and others tell us that Ms. Pelosi, unhappy that the minority does not simply roll over and play dead as they’re supposed to, wishes to change rules which have been in place since 1822.

You see, when the Democrats were the minority, they believed it was their jobs and their patriotic duties to follow the traditional guidelines written by Thomas Jefferson, as every congress has done, particularly if the rules helped them get heard, forced others to stand behind their votes or even if they simply justified a bit of obstruction. But when those guidelines don’t serve the purpose, or when they force Democrats to leave an inconvenient paper trail that they can’t easily erase

Seems that the Queen's royal court has turned into a royal pain. I'd hate to see her and ¡Hillary locked in a steel cage.

The Friday Fillmore Funnies for April 27, 2007

Welcome to the Friday Fillmore Funnies, brought to you weekly by The Jewish World Review.

Why, if he's not careful, Queen Nancy will give him a good finger-wagging!!

Over at the New York Post, they have an article on just how vigorously Ms. Pelosi is attacking corruption in the house. (She's not. Ms. Malkin has more here.) In fact, even the Congressional Black Caucus is lining up to support crooks like William "Cold Cash" Jefferson. I guess the Democrats are willing to investigate Republicans, but heaven forbid they should do anything about corruption in their own party.
