Kim Jong Il, North Korea’s mercurial and enigmatic leader, has died. He was 69.
Kim’s death was announced Monday by state television from the North Korean capital, Pyongyang.
Kim is believed to have suffered a stroke in 2008 but appeared relatively vigorous in photos and video from recent trips to China and Russia and in numerous trips around the country carefully documented by state media.
It is going to be a very Merry Christmas, isn’t it? Obama will take credit for the death of this tyrant in 3….2….1….
Now, in an homage to the hit movie, Team America World Police, here’s a palate cleanser for today’s news:
No words are necessary to describe this. Just watch and be repulsed. Yes, O is repetitive, but apparently so must his detractors like myself be, in order to get the message across that the Democrats and their supporters are a bunch of hypocritical fools who do NOT practice what they preach. After I saw Hoffa’s despicable performance yesterday, I had to assemble this montage for you. Watch and fume, watch-and-fumers!
What a load of horse squeeze from the lot of them! Especially from the Union Thugs at today’s Labor Day rally in Detroit, Michigan. And not only did Obama let Hoffa get away with his “take ‘em out” comment, he LAUDED him during his part of the speech, thanking him for his support. What a tool.
This video’s been pulled by YouTube many times, no matter how many times Atlas Shrugs or others re-post it. I finally got it up on LiveLeak and I hope they allow it to stay.
I ran a link to this Facebook video a few weeks back. A human rights group, Secular Democracy & Human Rights For Iran, posted the horrific video, but Facebook took it down (of course). It’s been posted to youtube (thanks to Megan). Download a copy. If they take it down, upload it again and again and again.
Is it any wonder that children raised in Muslim countries under the sharia grow up to hate, void of basic human decency? Each child is systematically hit. The adults laughing after a particularly cruel beating is as bad as the beating itself.
If this video gets pulled by LiveLeak, I’ll post it elsewhere…. otherwise, please share this with others who continue to believe Islam is a religion of “peace.”
Well, folks, it’s happened. The protesters in Egypt have worn their Dictator President down. Hosni Mubarak has now stepped down, and the military is stepping in temporarily. From The Blaze:
Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak resigned as president and handed control to the military on Friday, bowing down after a historic 18-day wave of pro-democracy demonstrations by hundreds of thousands.
A massive crowd in Cairo’s central Tahrir Square exploded into joy, waving Egyptian flags, and car horns and celebratory shots in the air were heard around the city of 18 million in joy after Vice President Omar Suleiman made the announcement on national TV just after nightfall.
“In these grave circumstances that the country is passing through, President Hosni Mubarak has decided to leave his position as president of the republic,” a grim-looking Suleiman said. “He has mandated the Armed Forces Supreme Council to run the state. God is our protector and succor.”
Nobel Peace laureate Mohammed ElBaradei, whose young suporters were among the organizers of the protest movement, told The Associated Press, “This is the greatest day of my life.”
“The country has been liberated after decades of repression,“ he said adding that he expects a ”beautiful” transition of power.
The report comes a day after an American intelligence official told Congress there was a “strong likelihood” Mubarak would step down yesterday. That report was discredited when Mubarak appeared on TV and said he would not be stepping down.
I feel something very very evil about to happen. I’m not saying Mubarak was a prince, but this is the Catch-22 in which we found ourselves. Now there’s a power vacuum, and with the dolts in the current Administration who think the Muslim Brotherhood is a “secular” organizatioin which “eschews violence,” there’s no telling what’s going to happen. This is really just a wait-and-see….but pray for the best. But most of all, pray for Israel.
Today’s Glenn Beck show was a very somber yet thought-provoking one. Living, breathing, sentient beings are turning against one another, and for stupid, idiotic reasons. Since when did we think it was good for the Republic that we be fighting amongst ourselves, instead of uniting together again like we did on 9/11 & 9/12/01?
Unfortunately, our priorities are all fouled up. The man-on-the-street interviews done by many TV hosts show the sad state of intellect and knowledge that is going to be the death of this country if we don’t wise up.
Glenn makes a great point about this very subject. Why is it that “The Jersey Shore” has record-breaking ratings for MTV, yet most of the viewers of these shows cannot name many elected officials when shown their photos? Why do we ALLOW ourselves to become so focused on the “Entertainment Tonight” shows of the world, yet refuse to pull our heads out of our asses long enough to at least pay attention to some of what’s going on in the real world?
I mean, I understand the need to escape every now and then, and then there’s the Schadenfreude of watching fools like Snooki, Paris, and the Bachelor, but sooner or later these same folks are going to wake up and be shocked into reality, asking “WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO MY COUNTRY?” Dude…you might not have been so surprised if you had been paying attention all along, and perhaps becoming involved to whatever extent for which you can find the time.
After all, if we have men and women in uniform fighting and dying on battlefields around the globe for your very FREEDOM to be so ignorant about current events, the least you can do is make yourself aware of what’s going on in the world…outside of reality TV, that is.
As I told a friend once, “You say that you are not into politics, but whether you like it or not, sooner or later politics gets into you.” It’s attitudes like these that make most Americans believe Sarah Palin said “I can see Russia from my house,” yet have never even ONCE heard/saw the video of Pelosi saying “We have to pass the bill so we can find out what’s in it” referring to Obamacare.
It is a truly sad state of affairs, and I’m afraid society will fall if we don’t get our acts together… like YESTERDAY!
