Always Watching the All-Seeing Eye

 

The Religion of Peace (and burnin' stuff!)

Okay, so it was a case of mistaken identity. I'm sure it could happen to anyone!

Hamas gunmen killed two Palestinian policemen loyal to the rival Fatah movement early Wednesday, hours after the sides agreed to a new cease-fire meant to end more than a week of factional fighting.

And here's a little hint for Jon Carry's quest to "solve" the problems in the Middle East: The Palestinian territories are violent because Palestinian Arabs embrace violence.

The bill for my consulting services is in the mail, Jon. Be sure to continue reading for more exciting pictures of this "accidental" burning.

Update: The irony of this article is too delicious to pass over. Again, what you're seeing is the inevitable result of raising an entire generation who understand nothing but violence.

I'll close with an, "Oh, the Humanity!" for good measure.

*Hmmm... is that kid in the last photo the grandson of the wailing woman from Lebanon???? Wonder if they teach that pose in their Jihad schools.

I find it amazing, and a bit amusing, that the electric company has such nice expensive vehicles. Guess they get paid well huh?

*Cap'n! Haven't seen you here in a while! Welcome back! :-)

In most likelihood, the company is backed by millions of dollars from the European Union, in which case mere piddly things like "the price of cars," are not nearly important in the least. ;-)

Warmest Regards,
Brian

*Yep. I think It's about time for the self-loathers in Europe to send more money to these gangsters. But only to the peace-loving civilian wings of Hamas and Fatah...

From Cesar Millan "the Dog Whisperer" to Europe:

"Never reward unwanted behavior from RoP"

"RoP needs rules boundaries and limitations"

"Never submit to will of RoP"

"Discipline always comes before affection"
