The New Improved Bin Laden
So, Bin Laden is back on the campaign trail. Although not exactly throwing his hat in for John Kerry, his timing seems critically beyond coincidental. His rant had a softer edge this time and will surely tug at the heat-strings of fools and the Left (who "knew we were the 'real terrorists' all along").
Some observers will be foolish enough to buy into the nonsense that Bin Laden's caste of Muslims only wish to be "free" from the "oppressive" US and its belligerent response to 9/11. Of course people with half a brain and occasional attention to the history and philosophy in the current conflict, know that Bin Laden and his followers represent the extremist sect of Wahhabi Islam. When he says he and his followers wish to be "free," he means in the style of freedom that his Taliban lap dogs imposed on Afghanistan. The freedom Bin Laden speaks of is the same kind referred to by Marxists and other collectivist authoritarians -- "freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength"
For those who are familiar with Wahhabi Islam, the Madrassas, and the goals of Jihad, its clear that Bush and American "hegemonic arrogance" are not the cause of current, or previous, threats and assaults. We tend to forget that the 1993 world Trade Center bombing was intended to take those buildings down then.
Bin Laden and company want nothing short of a Taliban style world(!) and have said so on numerous occasions. The biggest thing standing in his way is successful secular, multi-cultural, free society, and nothing embodies that more than the US. We tend to forget, when looking back at the evil ideologies of the past, that many people actually supported or sympathized with them then as they do now. There are still many today who -- 100,000,000 deaths later -- think communism is a good idea. So it is with Islamo-Fascism.
Do you think we can maybe confront this new totalitarian enemy with "dialog," multi-lateral "consultation," and self-loathing? If you do, you're a fool. Vote for Kerry, pray for peace, or just shoot yourself in the head.

No Force / No Fraud has a good post regarding the Euro-Socialist "third way" -- the incompetent path to stasis adopted by many European countries (and the approach that John Kerry will seek to implement in the US, if elected).

Some good insight from Jack Kemp regarding the Democratic party's usual campaign tactics and some of their newer tricks. Of course everyone knows that the election of a Republican will entrench the evil forces of free-market cruelty,...and Democrats will cause flowers to sprout from one's hind end.

One of the main reasons I voted for Bush (in my foreign resident absentee ballot) was the blatant excessive bias shown by the "mainstream media." It's an incredible personal insult for these clowns to think they can manipulate information regarding this election and actually get away with it. Diana West has come to the same conclusion.
Another reason that I voted for Bush and not the Libertarian candidate, as I usually do, is the pathetic excess of "The Bush-haters." The Left has been able to spout their usual nonsense from a massive sized soapbox in this election. There is no question in my mind that at least a few percentage points of Bush's tally in this election will come from people who ordinarily would not be very pro-Bush. One can only stand so much of the nonsense heard regularly in this campaign from intellectuals, "entertainers," millionaire funded "527" groups, and other professional spoiled brats, before deciding to take a stand for common sense.
A vote for Bush is a vote against every whining self-righteous middle-class Marxist and their pseudo-anarchist brethren.
