I have been using wordpress a good bit on some other projects and I think I’ve been won over by that platform. So, I’ll probably be moving this blog over to wordpress over the next few days. If you see something weird on this page, it’s just the process of migration and construction.

I saw this picture in one of the mass emails I’ve gotten over the last few days: Do you notice a country that’s not on the list? Try: “America” I guess being the world’s police is worth giving up our own freedom.

Now “South Park” can’t even say the words “Prophet Muhammad.” After last week’s episode of the Comedy Central series sparked a threat (and yes, it was certainly a threat) from a radical Islamic website, the network has cracked-down-for-their-own-good on creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone during last night’s continuation of the show’s storyline.

Now “South Park” can’t even say the words “Prophet Muhammad.”
After last week’s episode of the Comedy Central series sparked a threat (and yes, it was certainly a threat) from a radical Islamic website, the network has cracked-down-for-their-own-good on creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone during last night’s continuation of the show’s storyline.
For those who missed the drama, the show’s 200th episode last week mocked the one “celebrity” that the series has been largely unable to depict, the Prophet Muhammad, who was hidden from view in a bear costume. A U.S.-based website RevolutionMuslim.com then warned Parker and Stone they could end up like Theo Van Gogh (the Dutch filmmaker who was murdered by Muslim extremists after depicting Muhammad on his show) and even posted the address of the show’s production office. The site has since been shut down.

This is just sad. Comedy Central hasn’t felt the need to censor South Park through the years even though they’ve produced episodes dealing with:
- Who can take the largest dump
- A singing “Christmas Poo” that leaves stains on everything
- A character that gets killed every episode
- A depiction of Jesus as a talk show host
- A gay love affair between Satan and Saddam Hussein
- A “cripple fight” between handicapped children
- The children’s teacher has a sex change
- A black rapper thinks he’s a gay dolphin
- etc
I personally think that South Park is hilarious and none of these things should be censored. But now, after 13 seasons of offending just about everyone possible, Comedy Central finally decides to censor them because they dared make fun of Mohammed? WTF is going on here?
The Religion of Peace strikes again. How pathetic.

During my most recent business trip I took advantage of my flying time and read “The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Civil War.
” It was a pretty entertaining read and confirmed most of what I already knew about the War Against Southern Independence but it also offered some great insight into the individual leaders involved in the war, and the vast differences among them.
” It was a pretty entertaining read and confirmed most of what I already knew about the War Against Southern Independence but it also offered some great insight into the individual leaders involved in the war, and the vast differences among them.
One of those leaders, probably the most famous of them, was Robert E. Lee. Scholars debate his tactics to this day, and looking back it is possible to say “well if he only did this” or “if he’d only gone there” but we have to remember that hindsight is 20/20, and the man was able to protect Virginia for four years while facing drastic disadvantages. The US Empire had the advantage of an endless supply if immigrants being forced into military slavery (conscription), as well as the captured slaves forced into combat, as well as supplies and munitions that were a direct result of 30+ years of tariffs on Southern exports.Anyway, the following passage leaped out at me from the book, and it is about a correspondence between Lee and Lord Acton in 1866 (after the war):
Though a reluctant secessionist, Lee understood the cause for which he fought, and it was by no means an ignoble one, as witness a letter he wrote to Lord Acton, the great classical liberal statesman, in 1866. Acton had initiated the correspondence, writing to Lee about his admiration for the Confederacy. “I saw in State Rights,” Acton wrote, “the only availing check upon the absolutism of the sovereign will, and secession filled me with hope, not as the destruction of but as the redemption of Democracy… Therefore I deemed that you were fighting the battles of our liberty, our progress, and our civilization; and I mourn for the stake which was lost at Richmond more deeply than I rejoice over that which was saved at Waterloo.”
Lee replied, “I yet believe that the maintenance of the rights and authority reserved to the states and to the people, not only essential to the adjustment and the balance of the general system, but the safeguard to the continuance of a free government… whereas the consolidation of the states into one vast republic sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of that ruin which has overwhelmed all those that have preceded it.” He outlined his understanding of how the founders had opposed such a consolidation and how secession had been acknowledged as a presumed constitutional right in the past. But, he said, “I will not weary you with such unprofitable discussion. Unprofitable because the judgement of reason has been displaced by the arbitrament of war.” During the crisis of 1861, Lee had been on the side of judgement and reason.
Take a look at the history of the United States since the day Lee wrote those words. I’ve added the emphasis in bold because I think he basically outlined the mode of operation of the federal government for the last 150 years. Look at the point we have come to today:
- The federal reserve controls the money supply, confiscating our property at their whim
- The US foreign policy has been nothing but a trail of tears of interventions and blowback, from WW1 to the present
- The Sherman Act (fittingly) along with stacks of further regulations have destroyed any semblance of a free economy
- The government is blaming its failed social programs on us, and forcing more social programs down our throats
- Race relations are still abysmal, it having taken the federal government 100 years to grant blacks any civil rights
- The national debt is so high that we can’t mathematically ever pay it off
- Neither national party has repealed a significant law since prohibition
- The President writes laws from his desk
- The President has the power to detain US citizens indefinitely
- There are more bureaucrats than there are elected officials, and they have the power to do everything from imprisoning to wiretapping to stealing from US citizens
- The list goes on.
Calling Robert E. Lee a prophet might be a stretch, but it is clear that he was 100% accurate about the direction of the US government following their war of conquest from 1861 to 1865. The policies of the federal government are different in name and detail to the policies of the fallen empires throughout the rest of history, but conceptually they are exactly the same: finance government through debt/inflation, spend vast amounts of money on maintaining entitlements and an empire, then collapse. It’s happened time and time again, and it will happen to the USA.

So, after a month of bashing the grassroots movement known as the Tea Party, their numbers have jumped by 8 points. Keep up the good work, mainstream media!
