Well the Code Pink Nuts are at it again out in Berkeley, California.  This time their attempting witchcraft to get their point across.  If you remember, they were raising hell back in February when the Berkeley City Council sent the Marines a letter saying they were not welcome.  I posted a blog entry here about it and thought these nuts were moving on, but it appears their back to cause more trouble.

What I find a little odd, is their issue of saying they want to protect the troops from dying.  Perhaps they should pull their head out of their ass along with a few other groups and go after illegal aliens in our country.  The following is quoted from an article by Scott Snyder who posted here.

• "As of April 23, 2008, 4046 Americans have given their lives in the Iraq war, that's about 809 soldiers per year. As of 2006, on average 12 people per day are murdered by illegal immigrants and 13 people a day are killed by illegal immigrants driving while drunk and uninsured. Over a one year period this amounts to 9125 Americans killed by illegal immigrants. These numbers do not also include terrorist attacks on US soil that were committed by illegal immigrants."

Now if these nuts were really concerned about the life of Americans, then I would think they would want to go after the larger killer of Americans.  But hell no, that would not be politically correct.   Feel free to discuss this topic more here.

To read the latest about these nuts, see the following article below from Fox News.

Spells to Be Cast at Anti-Marine Rally in California - Members of an anti-war group began gathering Friday with pink placards and banners outside of a controversial Marine Corps Recruiting Center in Berkeley, Calif., where Code Pink had promised to use witchcraft to rally against the Iraq war.

A while back, I ran a poll asking people if they thought America was becoming too politically correct.  Overwhelmingly, the response was Yes.  Now, I read just how crazy this PC shit is becoming.  The following is another one of those Investigative Project on Terrorism stories I just can't believe and follows on the heels of the Dangerous Words article I posted earlier.

Investigative Project Releases Gov't Memos Curtailing Speech in War on Terror - The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is refusing to identify the "influential Muslim Americans" and "leading U.S.-based scholars and commentators on Islam" who met with Secretary Michael Chertoff in helping shape a softer approach to government.

Well I finished the integration of phpBB3 forum with my blog running Drupal 6. I added this forum to explore more back and forth type discussion with regards to the items I post here and to allow others the opportunity to start their own discussion threads.  The forum does not require you to register in order to post, but does ask for the basic information, like name, email, and there is a anti-spam feature.

If your a registered user of Bob's Daily Blog, you will be automatically logged into Bob's Forum when you log-in to my blog.  In addition, if you have a signature block and avatar, they will synchronize between the two locations.  The most recent topics posted will be listed in the middle column under the Bob's Forum Topics so you can see what's going on there.  I hope you will give it a try and let me know what you think. 

The death of Sean Bell was a tragic event.  The acquittal of the officers involved is not clearly understood at this point.  However, Al Sharpton is on the war path  promising to close down New York city.

In my opinion, Sharpton is nothing more than freaking racist looking to instigate rage in an already tense situation. He plans "massive civil disobedience" like those by Rev. Martin Luther King, but what he fails to see or hear is the "Kill the Police" that was shouted by the gang participating in his march through Harlem. I don't recall the Rev Martin Luther King supporting any of that type of talk.

It's clear that more information is needed to understand the acquittals.  However, I fail to see where Sharpton's ranting will do anything, but cause further racial divides in the city.

You can read the full story from Fox News here.

After reading this, I wonder how many "Radical Islamic Fundamentalist" are jumping up and down.  Not because they are mad and ready for "Jihad", but because they are winning the Politically Correct war in American.  You see, by doing so, they make it harder to identify where the real threat is coming from.  America really needs to put an end to all of this Politically Correct nonsense.  What do you think?

Ok, I've added a few topic areas to get this started.  I know it's not much yet, but the forum has some great capabilities and right now it's open to guests who would like to start a discussion. So try out  Bob's Forum and let me know what you think.

I've dropped the SMF forum and added phpBB forum to discuss those hot topic issues.  This is only a test for now and is open to anyone who wants to post a topic they feel is important. 

The forum capability here will remain to discuss issues I post on my blog, but Bob's Forum  is available to anyone to strike up a discussion on those hot topics.   I'll add a few topics over the next few days to see how it does.  In addition, I have it set up so guests can comment and add topics without registering.  Let me know what you think.

Former President Jimmy Carter's visit to the Middle East and his meeting with Hamas leaders has set a very dangerous precedent.  The ability of our country to conduct foreign policy could be seriously impacted if we allow former political leaders to go off on their own contradicting official Government positions.  Carter needs to have his Passport revoked and all federal funding cut to his center in Atlanta.   

U.S. Rep Calls for Revocation of Carter's Passport - As former President Jimmy Carter tours the Middle East, his plans to meet terrorist leaders have met with increasing criticism from authorities within the United States, including a senior U.S. Representative requesting Carter's passport be revoked by [Investigative Project on Terrorism]

Have we allowed the immoral minority to take over our great country? We seem to have thrown out our core values and beliefs for fear of being called a bigot, racist, homophobic, liberal, conservative, or any other name used to describe someone who does not agree with the current trend.

Everyday we are hearing someone say their civil rights are being violated and they deserve the right to do whatever they please. The sad part is Americans are buying into this insanity. Our “Politically Correct” response to all of this is slowly destroying our country. Americans have taken the position of, “as long as it doesn't affect me, go for it.” In reality, this gradual chipping away of our core values has started us on a downward slide into total chaos that will affect all of us on a much larger scale.  Let me know what you think.
 

You can't turn on the TV, listen to the radio or surf the net without hearing how bad the economy is and how we're in a recession.  Sure the housing market is going through some hard times, but is it really a recession? 

Well according to a post by John Lott, Jr, I would say we're hardly in a recession.  His recent post at Fox News shows how bias the media is toward Republicans.  In my opinion, this constant bombardment of negative propaganda will only lead to our self-fulling prophecy of a recession.  Check out his post here.
