Pakistan beating down the Taliban
clipped from www.timesonline.co.uk
Jihadi literature and guerrilla training manuals, mostly in Arabic, lay scattered in a corner, along with DVDs of Osama bin Laden’s sermons and a cache of weapons hurriedly abandoned as insurgents fled from the Pakistani
Army.
There were DVDs and cassettes carrying bin Laden’s messages. Several pamphlets also quoted from the al-Qaeda leader and his deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri. “I swear by God that Americans and their allies will not get peace until we
drive them out of Afghanistan and other holy places of Islam,” read an extract from one of bin Laden’s sermons. “This literature was used tomotivate the young militants,” an army official said.

“Bloggers for Sarah Palin” blogroll links, 11/1/09
...three blog posts from different blogs TIN readers might like:
- Conservative Girl with a Voice, "Heels On, Gloves Off" - Thought this was notable because of the relation many conservatives have to our cultural environment generally. fta: While those in Hollywood will try to preach that liberal is the only way to be, don't falter and don't fall- stick to your conservative values. I know I don't have to tell many of you this twice because you don't and never have listened to those liberal freaks in Hollywood. Do they know what it's like to earn a hard-earned living? Do they know what it's a like to live on Mainstreet U.S.A? Do they know what it is to have to sacrifice on the battlefield like our soldiers do day in and day out? Do they know what it's like to have to say goodbye to a family member who's in the military knowing that it will be months before they are reunited?
- Conservative Matters, "Don't judge Obama on results only intentions" - Don't agree with everything here, but the overall assessment needs to be heard. fta: Iran has been able to accelerate its nuclear program to a point where it is now a serious threat and all Obama can do is throw away the missile defense plan for Eastern Europe. North Korea has thumbed its nose at us again... These are not paths to peace; these are paths to more severe conflicts in the future. This is a “bury your head in the sand approach to foreign policy” that will result in larger conflicts down the road. Never mind the disaster that is the Obama domestic policy, Obama hasn’t succeeded at anything other than getting elected and collecting awards based on “Hope” not results.
- Finding Myself in Alaska, "Do it again" - Does God have the same sense of wonder toward Creation as a child does? fta: [Children] always say, "Do it again"; and the grown-up person does it again until he is nearly dead. For grown-up people are not strong enough to exult in monotony. But perhaps God is.... It is possible that God says every morning, "Do it again" to the sun; and every evening, "Do it again" to the moon. - Chesterton
Hope all of you enjoy those links, and if that's not enough reading for you, I do have an analysis of Lincoln's Second Inaugural you can look at which I'm sure will be plenty of reading.
@$#% OBORTIONISM AKA Obamas Health Care Scam

From the Bobos Files
Despite what P-BO and the rest of the liberal Dems have been saying – the fact remains that taxpayer funded abortions are covered under this monstrosity.
Health Care Issues: Paying for Abortions
Before I get in to some of the details – I will put it on record that I am anti-abortion – as if some of you hadn’t already figured that out. I believe that all life is sacred – and especially the unborn that don’t have a voice.
HOWEVER – it is not my responsibility to tell another individual they can’t have an abortion. My anti-abortion position comes from my religious and moral belief. To me, abortion is outright murder. Unfortunately, the SCOTUS has legalized this form of murder. But, God is the real judge. Those who have abortions and kill their unborn children will have to confront Him one day to plea their case.
Having said that – let’s move on – from the link above:
A look at key issues in the health care debate:
THE ISSUE: Would new health care legislation allow abortions to be funded with tax money?
THE POLITICS: Abortion opponents say proposed government-sponsored health insurance plans would change federal policy by paying for abortions in many cases. For years, a restriction in the law that governs Medicaid — health insurance for the poor — has barred federal funding of abortions except in cases of rape, incest and danger to the mother’s life. The proposed legislation would permit government-sponsored health plans, open to non-Medicaid patients, to cover abortions. In seeking a political compromise, a House version would require publicly sponsored plans to pay for abortions with private funds from customers’ premiums, not tax dollars. Critics call the requirement meaningless. They say public and private sources of insurance funding would essentially go into, and come out of, one big pot.
