Wednesday's Hero

Wednesday Hero was started to put a spotlight on the men and women of the United States military and the bravery their show day in and day out. But on a few occasions a service members of an allied nation has been profiled. Such is the case this week.

Despite being shot twice during an ambush in Afghanistan, an SAS (Special Air Service) soldier from Australia lashed himself to the front of his patrol vehicle so he wouldn't be left behind if he passed out from loss of blood and kept on fighting.

The Digger is expected to be recommended for a high level bravery award.

Suffering from serious upper body wounds, the soldier struggled on to the front of his SAS long range patrol vehicle (LRPV) and, under heavy fire, used a rope to attach himself firmly between the vehicle's bull bar and radiator.

Once he was secured, and there was no chance that he would fall off if he fainted, he picked up his rifle and resumed firing at the enemy during a two-hour fighting withdrawal.

SAS troops and their special forces comrades from the Commando Regiment are well aware of the slow and painful death that awaits them if they are captured by the Taliban.

The Digger, who cannot be identified, faded in and out of consciousness, emptying several magazines as volleys of enemy rounds and rocket propelled grenades, rained down around him.

He was finally evacuated from the battle field at high speed still lashed to the front of the LRPV.

A source told The Courier-Mail the Digger was now "up and about" and would recover fully from his serious gunshot wounds. His heroic deeds will be recognised when he is recommended for a high level bravery award.

Several others engaged in the do-or-die battle on September 2 are also in line for top honours.


These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.
We Should Not Only Mourn These Men And Women Who Died, We Should Also Thank God That Such People Lived

Obama Supporters Racist?

Obama Would Fail Security Clearance

by Daniel Pipes
Philadelphia Bulletin
October 21, 2008

With Colin Powell now repeating the lie that Barack Obama has "always been a Christian," despite new information further confirming Obama's Muslim childhood (such as the Indonesian school registration listing him as Muslim), one watches with dismay as the Democratic candidate manages to hide the truth on this issue.

Instead, then, let us review a related subject – Obama's connections and even indebtedness, throughout his career, to extremist Islam. Specifically, he has longstanding, if indirect ties to two institutions, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), listed by the U.S. government in 2007 as an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas-funding trial; and the Nation of Islam (NoI), condemned by the Anti-Defamation League for its "consistent record of racism and anti-Semitism."

First, Obama's ties to Islamists:

The cover of one of Khalid al-Mansour's books, "The Mind and the Mindless - Will the West Rule Forever." The Khalid al-Mansour connection: According to former Manhattan Borough president Percy Sutton, Al-Mansour "was raising money for" Obama's expenses at Harvard Law School. Al-Mansour, a black American (né Don Warden), became advisor to Saudi prince Al-Walid bin Talal, CAIR's largest individual donor. Al-Mansour holds standard Islamist views: he absolves the Islamist government in Sudan of sponsoring slavery, he denies a Jewish tie to Jerusalem, and he wrote a booklet titled "Americans Beware! The Zionist Plot Against S. Arabia." (Both Obama and al-Mansour deny Sutton's account.)

The Kenny Gamble (also known as Luqman Abdul-Haqq) connection: Gamble, a once-prominent pop music producer, cut the ribbon to the Obama campaign headquarters housed in a south Philadelphia building he owns. Gamble is an Islamist who buys large swaths of real estate in Philadelphia to create a Muslim-only residential area. Also, as the self-styled "amir" of the United Muslim Movement, he has many links to Islamist organizations, including CAIR and the Muslim Alliance in North America. (MANA's "amir" is Siraj Wahhaj, an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.)

Kenny Gamble The Mazen Asbahi connection: The Obama campaign's first Muslim outreach coordinator resigned after it came to light that he had served on the board of a subsidiary of the Saudi-sponsored North American Islamic Trust, with Jamal Said, another unindicted co-conspirator in the 2007 Hamas funding trial. Asbahi has ties to CAIR's Chicago and Detroit offices, to the Islamic Society of North America, yet another unindicted co-conspirator in the Hamas funding trial, and to other Islamist organizations.

The Minha Husaini connection: The campaign's second Muslim outreach coordinator has an Islamist background, having served as an intern in the Muslim Public Service Network. Immediately upon her appointment by Obama, she met with a group of about thirty Muslims including such notorious figures as CAIR's Nihad Awad; the Muslim American Society's Mahdi Bray, who has publicly supported the Hamas and Hezbollah terrorist groups; and Johari Abdul Malik of the Dar Al-Hijrah Mosque in Falls Church, Va., who has advised American Muslims: "You can blow up bridges, but you cannot kill people who are innocent on their way to work."

Second, Obama's ties to the Nation of Islam:

Louis Farrakhan, who calls Obama "the Messiah." Obama's long-time donor and ally Antoin "Tony" Rezko partnered for nearly three decades with Jabir Herbert Muhammad, a son of NoI leader Elijah Muhammad, and says he gave Jabir and his family "millions of dollars over the years." Rezko also served as executive director of the Muhammad Ali Foundation, a rogue organization that, without Ali's permission, exploited the name of this CAIR awardee.

Jeremiah Wright, Obama's esteemed pastor for twenty years, came out of a Nation background, recently he accepted protection from an NoI security detail, and has praised Louis Farrakhan, the NoI's leader, as one of the "giants of the African American religious experience." Wright's church celebrated Farrakhan for his having "truly epitomized greatness."

Farrakhan himself endorsed Obama, calling him "the hope of the entire world," "one who can lift America from her fall," and even "the Messiah."

That Obama's biography touches so frequently on such unsavory organizations as CAIR and the Nation of Islam should give pause. How many of politicians have a single tie to either group, much less seven of them? John McCain charitably calls Obama "a person you do not have to be scared [of] as president of the United States," but Obama's multiple links to anti-Americans and subversives mean he would fail the standard security clearance process for Federal employees.
Islamic aggression represents America's strategic enemy; Obama's many insalubrious connections raise grave doubts about his fitness to serve as America's commander-in-chief.

Mad Tiger Movie Review


I went and watched Gina Prince-Bythewood’s adaptation of Sue Monk Kidd’s novel The Secret Life of Bees today starring Dakota Fanning as Lily Owens, Queen Latifah as August Boatwright, Jennifer Hudson as Rosaleen Daise, Alicia Keys as June Boatwright and Sophie Okonedo as May Boatwright.

Lily is a 14 year old growing up in a small southern town in 1964. She is haunted by memories of accidently shooting her mother when she was 4 years old. Lily lives with her emotionally distant abusive father, and her best friend is their Black housekeeper, Rosaleen. After locals beat Rosaleen for attempting to register to vote and Lily’s father goes one step too far during an argument, Lilly and Rosaleen set out to find the place where the only picture Lilly has of her mother was taken. That place turns out to be the home of the independent Black Boatwright sisters who make a very successful living producing honey. Lily and Rosaleen move in with them and soon Lily learns about both beekeeping and life.

This was a vey good movie. It is probably more of a chick flick though so guys might not like it as much. It made me cry. I give this movie 4 tiger paws.

Mad Tiger Movie Review

I went and watched W. today starring Josh Brolin as George W. Bush, Elizabeth Banks as Laura Bush and James Cromwell as George H. Walker Bush and directed by Oliver Stone.

This film is supposed to be a chronicle of George W. Bush's life. While I have not been a fan of the George W. Bush Presidency; I did vote for him twice only because I thought he was an infinitely better than the other choices we had. I also think that Gore and Kerry would have been much worse Presidents. I also freely admit that President Bush has made many mistakes while in office. But I have never seen such a character assignation in my life as this film is.

I figured this film would be unflattering since it was an Oliver Stone film. The film critics tried to portray this movie as being sympathetic to President Bush. So I figured I would give this film a shot. There absolutely nothing sympathetic in this film. They even portrayed Bush as unflattering down to every detail. Stone had Brolin eating like a pig talking with his mouth full and spitting food everywhere. Stone constantly portrayed Bush as drunk and with a drink in his hand.

I have to say at this moment I am so totally disgusted with Liberals that I want to puke. I am tired of their hypocrisy. You scrutinize and criticize every thing a Conservative or Republican does when you could never stand up to such scrutiny yourself. How often do you drink, Mr. Stone? As far as that goes how many of you Liberals partied in college? That’s right its ok with you Liberals that Obama and Clinton both used drugs during college isn’t it? But Bush partying at college is something that you all blow out of purportion.

I am tired of you Liberals trying to tear down everything that makes America great. I am tired of your Elitist attitudes towards the average American. And Christians if you are even thinking about voting for a Liberal this election, I suggest you watch this film and see how liberals really view Christians. Wake up! They view you the same as Rosie O’Donnell does that you are just the same as the 9/11 terrorists. I am tired of Liberals trying to divide this Country and turn it into a Socialist State.

Well I have something to say to you Liberals:

IF YOU DON’T LIKE AMERICA AS IT IS AND IF YOU SEE YOURSELF AS BETTER THAN THE AVERAGE WORKING CLASS AMERICAN THEN GET THE FUCK OUT OF AMERICA. WE DON’T WANT OUR COUNTRY TO CHANGE. WE LOVE AMERICA JUST LIKE IT IS AND STOP TRYING TO CHANGE IT.

You Liberals make me sick.

I give this film 0 tiger paws. And that is how I see it.

Stupid hilarious verses in the Quran and Hadiths

The Liberals Disgust Me

I have been refraining from writing about this because I have been so disgusted with this Presidential election; but I can no longer remain silent.

How low will the Democrats and their partners in crime the Main Stream Media (MSM) go to gain control of the White House again? Well evidently there is no limit to how low they will go.

They will sell out to Socialist Domestic Terrorists like Bill Ayers and his pupil Obama. They will manipulate the Stock Market with no regard of all the Americans they are ruining financially. Why should those Elitist care if the working American, the Backbone of America, lose everything? They still have their money and they want America to buy into their lies and manipulation and vote for the Socialist Obama who wants to “spread the wealth around.”

The MSM will cover up the fact that Obama contributed over $800,000 to Acorn who is being investigated for Voter Registration fraud. The Democrats are willing to use Fraud to elect this Socialist. Why should they care if the American people are really represented when they will stoop this low to gain the White House?

Liberal Democrats have used Class Warfare very successfully in the past and are using it again to try to win this election; yet vilify Joe the Plumber for asking Obama a question concerned that he will lose his small business and because Obama exposed himself as a socialist in his answer. Wake up, America! The way the Democrats has demonized this working class American is how these Elitist Socialists really view you, the working class. The Democrats will say they are for you on the campaign trail, but in reality see you as pond scum and will tax you until you lose everything you have and they can maintain their Elitism.

Then there is Sarah Palin. The Democrats claim they are for Women’s Rights yet have launched an all out offensive on Palin and constantly telling everyone that “she isn’t qualified to lead” in a desperate attempt to cover up the fact that Obama really isn’t ready to lead. They even trumped up charges in her home state accusing her of firing a State Trooper who is her ex-brother-in-law claiming that the firing was done for personal reasons. Yet they conveniently leave out that this State Trooper had tazered a child. Another shining example of how Democrats really view women and will twist facts to further their quest to gain power.

Then we come to Joe Biden’s remarks of the weekend that if Obama is elected “he will be tested by an International Crisis in the first 6 months” and that the way he deals with it will “not be apparent that he is right.” What? If the world wants to Test the new President of the United States, wouldn’t that mean that the world thinks he is not ready to lead also? And if Obama’s reaction to a World Crisis will not appear to be right, wouldn’t that be because it isn’t the right decision? It is evident that the Democrats knew Biden had made a blunder because they have now taken him off the campaign trail so he won’t say anything else to point to the fact that Obama is not qualified to be president. Obviously the MSM knew Biden had made a blunder too, because they have done their best to cover this one up too.


The MSM wants Obama to win so much that they have already declared him the winner and are picking out drapes for the White House. The MSM was shocked at how the crowds at McCain rallies recently were yelling out their anger and frustration at the Media. Well, MSM, that is because of all the Liberal biased reporting you do. MSM, you are the ones that are out of touch with Main Stream America. The American people are tired of your bias and they are angry. How about YOU start reporting “Fair and Balanced” for a change. And stop trying to skew the election, its not working for you.

And don’t even get me started on whether Obama is a closet Muslim or not or the fact that he said, “My Muslim religion.” This man is not the Messiah; he is a liar and an fraud.



And that is how I see it.

Mad Tiger Movie Review


Last weekend I went and watched Billy: The Early Years directed by Robbie Benson (a blast from the past) starring Arnie Hammer as Billy Graham, Stefanie Butler as Ruth Bell Graham and Martin Landau as Billy’s life long friend Charles Templeton.

Everyone knows who he is. Now find out how he got there. He remains one of the true icons of late 20th and early 21st century evangelism. But what of his early years - the years that led him into full-time ministry? As scripted and directed by acclaimed actor Robby Benson, this fact-based historical drama depicts Graham as an earnest young man whose life is irrevocably changed via his interaction with another up-and-coming follower of God, Charles Templeton. Though fast friends, the men reach a crossroads and fork off in opposing directions when Templeton's faith buckles beneath the weight of the scientific revolution and the evidence that he perceives as an unshakable threat to Christianity. The disbelief that Templeton demonstrates, in turn, convinces Graham to take the altar call in the Depression-Era South, in an effort to bring people to God who find themselves mired in agnosticism and atheism.

Billy Graham is about the only Tel-Evangelist that still stands as a man of integrity and who lives as he preaches. This film has too much preaching in it for my taste, but it’s a movie about a preacher so is to be expected. It is a good movie whether you are a Billy Graham fan or not. I give this movie 4 tiger paws.

Mad Tiger Movie Review



I went and watched Max Payne today starring Mark Wahlberg as Max Payne, Mila Kunis (from That 70’s Show) as Mona Sax and Beau Bridges as B.B. Hensley.

Coming together to solve a series of murders in New York City are a cop, Max Payne, whose family was slain as part of a conspiracy and an assassin, Mona Sax, out to avenge her sister's death. The duo will be hunted by the police, the mob, and a ruthless corporation.

Even though this film is advertised as a super natural film, if that is what you are expecting, you will be disappointed. This film wasn’t exactly bad, it was just ok. Maybe I am getting tired of going and watching films now. And I just got my Movie Watcher Card too. Anyway, I give this film 3 tiger paws.

Bill Cosby on Rev. Wright
Article from Wall Street Journal:

"Rev. Wright epitomizes the thoughts and actions that have prevented and continue to prevent black America from moving ahead and achieving their potential as a people. He suggests that this United States of America made up of sons and daughters of immigrants (I'm talking of the millions of 1st, 2nd, 3rd generation immigrants in this country) of every race, creed, color and religion, each and everyone of them who had nothing to do with slavery, somehow owe something to a group of people who have never been slaves?

It's amazing. It seems everyone is to blame for the shambles black society is in with its violence, drugs, high school drop out rates, misogyny, and a host of other real and virulent problems, except for the very people who engage in such behavior.

Enough. As a society, culture or people, they should look within themselves and fix their problems. When did this man become the spokesman for the black church? And of course his church is different, but that doesn't mean his message and philosophy is acceptable, or productive or non-offensive or not-racist or indicative of our greater cultural behaviors, values and norms as Americans.

And yes, the link between this man and Obama really does matter. At a very minimum, it provides insight into the political and philosophical strain that Obama adheres to.

I went and watched City of Ember starring Tim Robbins as Loris Harrow, Harry Treadaway as Doon Harrow, Saoirse Ronan as Lina Mayfleet, Billy Murray as Mayor Cole and Martin Landau as Sul.

For generations, the people of the City of Ember have flourished in an amazing world of glittering lights. But Ember's once powerful generator is failing ... and the great lamps that illuminate the city are starting to flicker.

This is a cute children’s film that adults will like too. I give it 3 and half tiger paws.

The father of Cpl. Lance Thompson said his son would be proud knowing he fought and died to help Iraqis vote in an election.

Cpl. Lance Thompson died in during fighting in Ramadi by a truck bomb. His father, Greg Thompson, said his son sent him a letter in September of '04 which said, "Freedom is not free. It requires sacrifice."

Greg Thompson said the millions turning out to vote in Iraq was "fantastic" and said it was a "momentous day in the Middle East."

"Are you asking me was it worth Lance losing his life?" he asked a reporter. "Being the gung-ho Marine that he was, he would say yes. So I'll say yes. That is a tough, bitter pill to swallow. It hurts. God, I didn't want to give up my son."

Mad Tiger Movie Review

I went and watched An American Carol today starring Kevin Farley (Chris Farley’s younger brother) as Michael Malone (the Michael Moore character) an anti-American film maker, Kelsey Grammer as the ghost of General Patton, John Voight as the ghost of President George Washington and Trace Adkins as the Angel of Death.

An anti-American filmmaker who's out to abolish the July Fourth holiday is visited by three ghosts who try to change his perception of the country.

This film is billed as a comedy and while it does have a lot of funny parts in it, it also has a lot of truth in it too. This film also tells the truth about how Muslims feel about us. This film will make you proud to be an American again. I liked this film; I give it 4 tiger paws.

This Week's Post Was Suggested And Written By Kathi

SSgt. Renee A. Deville
SSgt. Renee A. Deville
44 years old from Webster New York
401st Civil Affairs Battalion
September 1, 2008
U.S. Army

SSGT Renee A. Deville was an Army Reservist who deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom with the 401st Civil Affairs Battalion from Webster, N.Y. She arrived at Walter Reed August 10, 2006, after being injured in a mortar attack.

While at Walter Reed, Deville was assigned to Chosen Battery, Warrior Transition Brigade, and was among three graduates of the Army's first Basic Noncommissioned Officers Course Stand Alone Common Core offered to Warriors in Transition.

Deville, who successfully completed every aspect of the course from a wheelchair, was lauded by SGT Major of the Army Kenneth O. Preston as exemplifying the Army's 'Warrior Ethos', at the graduation ceremony for the course on March 28, 2008.

Deville was also the impetus for a new playground being built behind the Mologne House at Walter Reed in 2007.

An October 2007 Washington Post article about the opening of the playground says that SSGT Deville's mention of her children's limited recreational options to Col. Bruce Haselden, the garrison commander, helped set in motion the playground project.

Staff Sgt. Renee Antoinette Deville died September 1, 2008 in her room at the Mologne House at Walter Reed. She was 44.

She is survived by her husband and 4 children, her mother, a brother, and two sisters.

SSGT Deville was laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery on September 19, 2008.
