Sir Winston on the Boston bombing

Sir Winston Churchill? Oh, indeed, if you accept the obvious motivation behind the mass maimings, cripplings, disfigurements and slayings:

“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries!…The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property—either as a child, a wife, or a concubine—must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men…Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities…But the influence of the religion paralyzes the social development of those who follow it.  No stronger retrograde force exists in the world.”

Now you see why Barry had Churchill’s bust removed from the Oval Office and sent off to the British embassy, though his minions later tried to deny it. It wasn’t just about colonialism. Oh no.

Via Powerline.

Cockroaches all the way down

Vanderleun’s nominee for most revolting headline of the year to date:

“Boston Bombing Suspects’ Muslim Identity Provides Few Clues To Motivation For Bombing.”

Via the Puffington Host, but it could have been The Boston Globe which is owned by the NYTimes and later published another bit of denial that was very similar.

Can they succeed in obfuscating the obvious religious motivation? Barry’s minions are certainly gonna try. And his Canadian friends, too.

When will they ever learn? The answer is blowing in the wind.

UPDATE:  The numbers speak for themselves. Five Jihadis have reached their targets under King Pinocchio, who chokes on the words terrorist and jihadi. Under Bush the younger, who nevertheless coined the ridiculous phrase “religion of peace”? None.

Rule by Cop in Obama’s America

“….the captive audience in ‘The Cradle of Liberty’ were a compliant bunch. As assault-weapon bearing bands of body-armored, black or camo-clad hulks fanned out through the neighborhoods door-to-dooring, skittish residents were systematically ordered out of or pulled out of their homes (some at gunpoint with hands raised). Some were frisked, or just interviewed and made to wait outside of their homes until authorities gave the all-clear signal.”

There’s a video here, made by a neighbor of one such home. Unbelievable.

Follow the money trail, please

Haven’t seen or heard of any snooze media story yet on where the Boston Jihadis got their cash, not to mention their explosives and detonators. Such a traditional story, too, as Peggy Noonan makes plain:

“Who or what supported them? They had cellphones, computers, stylish clothes, sunglasses, gym equipment and gym membership, enough money to go out to dinner and have parties. They had an arsenal of guns and money to make bombs. The elder brother, Tamerlan, 26, had no discernible record of employment [but a wife and a child]…The younger brother, Dzhokhar, [19] was a college student, but no word on how he came up with spending money.”

I’m sure the snoozers are feverishly trying to track down the racial/social grievances of the brothers, since they can’t do the Jihadi angle without upsetting their patron King Pinocchio. But the least they could is follow the money trail. Pretty please?

UPDATE:  Well, it seems that the Boston Herald is interested. They found that until 2012 the deceased boxer was on state welfare. Then his Islam-converted wife started working 80 hours a week as a health aide and he was no longer eligible. He stayed home, apparently taking care of their child, unless his in-laws were doing it. That seems to account for some of his money. No word yet on his baby-faced brother.

Boston Jihadi mission accomplished

There’s not much doubt, as my pal Snoopy the Goon writes in a good post with a headline similar to the above, that the Boston bombers got what they likely were after:

  1. Produce widespread fear. Accomplished.
  2. Obtain worldwide, national, or local recognition for their cause by attracting the attention of the media. Accomplished in full: worldwide, nationally and locally
  3. Harass, weaken, or embarrass government security forces so that the government overreacts and appears repressive. Accomplished with a good measure of over-achievement.

Especially the third one.

And also a fourth, which some perceive, which is for the target to quickly resume its former state of denial about what just happened. In this case, that it was not the Muslim boys’ bloodthirsty religion, oh no, but some mysterious (probably racial or social) grievance that must be rooted out with new laws, or else some malevolent foreign mastermind who turned these nice fellows bad.

Of private security and concealed carry

I don’t expect the Jihadis to show up in Texas anytime soon. I’m sure they prefer the liberal environments of New York, Massachusetts and California with wall-to-wall, unarmed sheep who will ease their planning, arming and execution of mass killings for the glory of their blood-thirsty deity.

Down here, even in liberal Austin, they’re much more likely to encounter an informed and attentive gunner. For instance, the parents of one of Mr. B.’s best friends. They both carry concealed semi-automatic pistols. He’s a diamond merchant who often has the gems on his person and she, well, I’ve never asked but I presume she just feels more secure going about with a pocket pistol similar to this Ruger LCP which is fully reviewed here.

They’re one of the few couples we know who don’t have a private security system sign in the front flower bed of their home. Obviously they don’t need one. Most of us have them, even if we also have loaded firearms in the house. We count on the fact that the average criminal is a lazy bumbler without the imagination to figure out whether the sign announces a real security system or is a sign-only one.

As Wretchard says private security will be even more of a growth industry now after the Boston massacre. If for no other reason, there are lots of refugee Chechens living in the U.S. now and who knows how many pray five times a day? Unless you see their wives covered from head to toe in black ninja suits, you wouldn’t.

Just in case, I do think I will try to find one of the signs that CNN’s resident anti-gunner Piers Morgan has on his lawn. The words “armed response security systems” are so much more threatening than what we have now.

Your Coexist sticker will not save you

Amusingly enough, one of them was on the back of the Massachusetts SUV hijacked by the baby-faced monster and his boxer brother in which they would later shoot it out with the police. Shocker. You mean the Jihadis weren’t interested in sparing an obvious person-of-appeasement?

Nope. Your Coexist sticker is not an avoid-the-Jihadi guarantee. On the contrary, I bet they picked out the vehicle when they saw the sticker. A useful idiot, they may have thought or said to themselves, one of those dupes who believes in moderate Muslims. He surely won’t be armed and he’ll surrender his car without a fuss. And sure enough.

Not that they would have minded killing him. They killed the MIT security guard, after all, apparently for his gun. Didn’t have time for a background check. Sorry, Barry. But all that blood on the driver’s side seat makes for a sticky experience. Much easier to have the keys handed to you before the leftist owner (who else would have one of those stickers?) swoons with pleasure at having been approached by an actual, you know, Muslim.

UPDATE: The Powerline bloggers think the report of the sticker on the hijacked SUV was a conservative or libertarian prank, but they like Mark Steyn’s take: “…if it weren’t for that Islamic crescent [the letter C on the sticker] you wouldn’t need a bumper sticker at all.”
