US Should be Cautious, Not Offer Blind Support

February 04, 2011  /  Barry Wood

I am not so sure we, as a nation, should be encouraging the same as militant Islamic groups... Sure the "protesters" (Muslim Brotherhood) claim to be pro-democracy, but are they? We know that the Muslim Brotherhood had a militant wing which they claim has been closed... I am just saying, the nation, should be cautious in jumping on board as supportive based solely on a "pro-democracy" claim!
Islamic militants took to the Internet to call on Muslims to unite behind Egyptian protesters and not to 'waste the chance' to topple President Hosni Mubarak

Interesting Observation....Todays Islam

January 28, 2011  /  Barry Wood

I found this an interesting way to look at the oxymoron - Peace/Violence, Love/Kill...that is todays radical Islam or that the media and left like to portray.
Some Excerpts
No matter how many times the delusional fools in the American media try to convince you otherwise, sharks are not misunderstood dolphins, and Islam is not a religion of peace.

More Whining Liberals

January 23, 2011  /  Barry Wood

These people live in "Wonderland"!

NOW we have a truly conservative corporation controlling muzzling the voices on what used to be free speech in the USA...

Can you believe they actually believe Olbermann was one of the last liberal voices - I don't, I think they are just whining trying to convince you they don't have a monopoly on the media. They can't be that stupid, can they?

interesting Read - For Vets

January 23, 2011  /  Barry Wood

I found this an interesting read, and thought you might too.

Some excerpts:
What the New York Times and Thomas Friedman think about that means less than nothing, because they are not responsible for any consequences in the real world. Presidents are. That makes all the difference. The NYT is full of cheap loudmouths, like the party it represents. It's a mendacious propaganda rag.

The Fool Removes All Doubt

January 22, 2011  /  Barry Wood

Instead of simply being thought a fool, Billy opened his mouth (AGAIN) and removed all doubt. Leave it to a liberal, and an idiot, to pull the ole "requiring health insurance is the same as states requiring auto insurance" argument... Should we bother to point out the latter is a privilege, so requiring criteria to be met is not only constitutional but expected, say maybe ensuring and individual pass a written and practical test. The former an individual responsibility and as such.....oh never mind, loud mouth fools never listen.

But we cannot forget Billy is much smarter than this redstate hick, and you too - Just ask him! Who am I to educate the foolish?
