I’m forced off hiatus to throw in my nickel’s worth about the current “crisis” (“nightmare” is the better word) going on in Russia.
I need to post different headshots for different moods because I’m certainly not smiling right now. Today, I am dismayed that the world (or leftist journalists) is not writing about what’s occurring in Russia and that Americans are not expressing outrage. Islamofacist vermin are holding children hostage, and the world slumbers.
Is there no one even blogging about this? Look at this headline: “Russian pupils held in armed siege.” Can you spot what’s wrong with it? The word “pupils” is what’s wrong. These are children being held hostage! Can you imagine what their parents are going through? We all know which criminals are behind this. Radical Muslims!
Calling these scum “rebels” and “separatists” makes me sick! And why no mention of the “hostage takers” being Muslims? Come on, are we supposed to be stupid? Brain-dead? Why won’t the newspapers report the religion of these creeps?
You know why? Because leftists have turned the world upside down, and we’ve let them. You can’t recite a Christian prayer or sing a Christian song in the public sphere anymore, but President Bush has an Imam giving the invocation at his convention. You know, I’m trying to stay calm, but each of the sentences deserves its own exclamation point, but that would make me look like a crazy woman (!).
This is the way the BBC reports it:
Pupils have reportedly been lined up against the windows to prevent an assault by security services, says the BBC’s Moscow correspondent Damian Grammaticas.The siege comes amid heightened security across the country. A suspected suicide bombing in Moscow on Tuesday night killed 10 people, and last week the mid-air explosions of two passenger planes left 89 dead.
Suspicion for these attacks has fallen on Chechen separatists, who have been fighting for independence from Russia for the past decade.
I find at least four things utterly inane about these paragraphs: 1) The dehumanization of the children being held hostage by use of the detached word “pupil”; 2) prevent the assault by security services — Russian law enforcement, defending children, would be an assault on evil Islamofacists?; 3) Chechen separatists; 4) who are fighting for independence????
Where is the world’s outrage? What about conservatives? Are we so focused on George Bush and his convention and Arnold’s speech that we’re unconcerned about this world crisis?
I just can’t get over these deadpanned and downplayed headlines, one right after the other: Contact Made With Hostage-Takers in Russia, UN Security Council Condemns Terrorist Attacks in Russia (disband this useless, communist piece of tripe!), Gunmen take scores hostage at southern Russia school (Gunmen?). And Matt Drudge is headlining wind and rain, for crying out loud.
Do people realize what’s going on? After centuries of fighting their neighbors and cutting off heads in the name of Allah, Muslims have it made in the shade. Not only have they killed thousands of our countrymen on our own soil, but somehow, some way, this country has been hypnotized into bending over backward to be sensitive to Muslims and their “religion of peace.”
Muslims are trying to take over the world, and what’s going on in Chechnya is nothing new or unexpected. The spread of Islam, radical or otherwise, in my opinion, is the most urgent crisis facing all of us. What are we doing about it? Well, we’re currently engaged in a politically correct “war” against a bunch of rag tag misfits. Let’s see what else. We’re bowing and scraping before “peaceful” Muslims in America and being careful not to offend them (although these same Muslims are not speaking out against this scourge!).
I’ve got to go. The nausea is overpowering.
Addendum: Michelle Malkin weighs in.
Addendum II: And another thing: Remember how much coverage that bloody “holy” temple in Najaf got? Wall to wall, back to back, pundit to pundit, reporter to reporter blanket coverage! If an America solider’s bullet had so much as grazed that…and there isn’t similar or more coverage about children being terrorized? I’ve got to go.
Addendum III: All I’ve been hearing about is Zell Miller’s speech, Zell Miller’s speech, Zell Miller’s speech. What a backward people we are.
