RINO Sightings

Welcome to the October 23rd, 2006 episode of RINO Sightings, wherein we deal with those most dangerous of creatures, the RINO. RINOs are severely dangerous to orthodoxy in all of its forms. A group of RINOs is known as a "crash" for good reason. Beware the horn of the individual RINO! However, an entire community of RINOs can shake your very understanding of reality!



There are inclusions here that may be a little older, and I apologize to those submitters whose submissions might have been inadvertently missed in the past few carnivals. So there are a couple of multiple submissions from the same site, being linked because they were missed in previous editions. Nor are the posts within a category in any particular order except that's how they ended up.

The Crash of Foreign Affairs and the War on Terrorism



Enrevanche discusses Islam 101: Sunni or Shi'ite?, which notes that many people in critical positions don't understand the difference.



Jane at Armies of Liberation talks about Leading al-Qaeda: Yemen will not confront the Mujahiadden, about the Yemeni regime and Al-Qaeda. I highly recommend her site, and not merely for its excellent reporting upon the situation in Yemen, but also for the window of understanding it opens on many other regimes in many other countries with similar issues.



Commissar at Politburo Diktat does some Habeus corpus blogging



Cory Herche of Legal Redux discusses North Korea's actions versus its words in Kiss and make up?, discussing several North Korean actions it would rather the rest of the world conveniently forgot.



Buckley F. Williams at the Nose on Your Face laughs at terrorist enabler Lynne Stewart in Lynne Stewart Sentenced, Superlative Futures Soar. It's more constructive than the alternative.



The Crash of Domestic Politics



Larry Bernard of Inside Larry's Head discusses our most recent ex-president in Bill Clinton: a comment so stupid its given me cancer. Hey, better cancer than Clintonitis. Doctors are successfully treating many cancers these days. There is no known cure for Clintonitis, the ability to justify anything you want in your own mind. Cody Herche of legal redux illustrates this with Aftershock: Clinton on political assassinations



Rachel Sawyer at Tinkerty Tonk talks about The Barack Obama swoon



Your host checks in with Republican or Democrat in 2006: Lazy Larcenous Slugs or Partisan, Obstructionist Civilization Hating Suicide Artists Who Are Also Lazy Larcenous Slugs?.



Jack Yoest submitted a link to a televised debate involving his wife, Charmaine, at Reasoned Audacity. 6 minutes 30 seconds.



Stephen Littau of Fearless Philosophy For Free Minds submitted Personal Attack Ad...Against Myself! on the attack ad mentality, also known as the attempt to beat something with nothing.



Tom Hanna of Tom Rants submitted Local History, Speeding and Lawbreakers, which is really about immigration and illegal immigration.



Digger's Realm presents another viewpoint with A Word From The Cousin Of Victim Amy Kortlang Who Was Killed By A Drunk Driving Illegal Alien. Victor Davis Hanson wrote an article a couple weeks age about the pro-immigrant hardliners delaying a sensible resolution to the illegal alien process, and in the process forcing more and more people further and further into the other camp, meaning that the eventual solution is likely to be less to those hardliners' liking. This is a case in point.





The Crash of Miscellany



Cody Herche of legal redux on The impact of Darwin on domestic and foreign policy.



Stephen Littau of Fearless Philosophy For Free Minds on Just Defending Marriage? Don't Believe it!



As a host's prerogative, I'm reserving the last link to a fairly lengthy article on my site's area of special emphasis: Real Estate and Mortgage information. First Time Buyer Programs: The Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC)



Next Week's RINO Sightings host will be Inside Larry's Head
