Credo
"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones
"Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra"
"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche
"A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke
“You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier

"Blogito Ergo Sum" -- Neptunus Lex
Well, he DOES serve white people, too.
But wait a minute. Wasn’t islam the only religion to forbid racism in it’s scriptures?
OK, so Mr Qaedas are showing it’s not about religion anymore? Boys, time to use the heavy gear.
“Speaking in Arabic, al-Zawahri uses the term “abeed al-beit,” which literally translates as “house slaves.” But al-Qaida supplied English subtitles of his speech that included the translation as “house negroes.”… ”
(Writes Robert Spencer) Actually abeed means both “slave” and “black person,” so Al-Qaeda’s translation is just fine. (end Spencer)
Remember, Obama’s absent daddy was a black Muslim from Kenya. He has no “legacy of slavery” to shed. He will, however, irritate the Hell out of all those Arabs who know they are Allah’s people and that blacks and other dark-skinned peoples are, at best, sort of third-class Muslims. When they’re not infidels, of course.
Which actually gives me a reason to like Obama.

“I’m your worst nightmare; I’m a house-negro with an executive commission…”
That’s almost as rich as if Lieberman had been elected:
Cue the cacophonous sounds of sphincters snapping shut across southwest Asia… Heh…
Just who did Zawahiri expect to impress with this slander? No, really.
I’m guessing he doesn’t understand the Jacksonian tradition in American politics.
Zane: ditto.
Greetings:
I’m thinking that nobody has explained what a “sand negro” is the al-Zawahiri.
