One Year Anniversary

Welcome to Freedom Now’s One Year Anniversary celebration. This long anticipated event has generated a firestorm of excitement from the community. Republicans were so enthusiastic that they forgot to vote and the Democrats were swept into power.

To commemorate this historic event I decided against hosting a grand exhibition with the President as the keynote speaker or a concert with performers like U2 and The White Stripes. Instead I will post a “Greatest Hits” with 10 of the best pictures from over the last year.

You can click on the dates to view the original article. Enjoy the show and please turn off your cell phones during the performance...

“Soundtrack for a New Generation”



My first Photoshop picture for Freedom Now! If I was smart it should have been the last. Thanks to this blog I can’t count how many work nights that I stayed up until the wee hours of the morning and suffered for it the next day.

“Congressman John Murtha surrenders to Baghdad Bob as US troops are routed by Iraqi insurgents.”

The insurgents have achieved nothing in Iraq, but the Democrats have led the battle to retreat before the Iraqi government can take complete control of the country. Al Qaeda is grateful.

“Cindy Sheehan Released From Hospital”

Cindy Sheehan held a press conference for a new book at the Providence Health Center. She was hospitalized for a severe case of writer’s cramp after an overwhelming book signing. Her recovery was astounding!

“My Enemy’s Propaganda”



This prediction was made early in the season, but the Atlanta Hawks went on to finish up with the NBA’s 4th worst record. They won 26 games and lost 56 for a miserable .317 percentage. Al Qaeda claimed a victory because they did not finish in last place.

“War of Words Escalates”



Al Qaeda’s efforts to cultivate the support of the Gay and Lesbian Community was a complete failure. In March of 2006 the organization hired an openly homosexual terrorist to handle their public relations. The new spokesperson, Abu Al-Shieki, was later captured by coalition forces after attempting to shoplift a Louis Vuitton handbag from a Baghdad shopping mall.

Please note that the Al Qaeda flag is actually black but Al-Shieki want to add a dash of color for the Queer Eye Effect. Al Qaeda was not pleased because green is the color of their hated enemies, the Shia. It was the first of many P.R. disasters for the terrorist group.

“Iraqi Insurgents More Generous Than Democrats”



A group of insurgent factions in Iraq offered a cessation of hostilities if the US was to withdraw from Iraq within two years. Here in the States Democratic Congressman Murtha demanded an immediate withdrawal, while other Democrats proposed a withdrawal within one year. These lunatics are now in charge of Congress. Yippeeee!!! Troop withdrawals from Alaska are expected within a year.

“Peace in the Middle East”



I believe peace between the Israelis and Palestinians is only possible if the Peace Movement was to actually become a Peace Movement. Sometimes they do attempt to distance themselves from Islamists at protests, but Arafat was secure in his ability to count on Western support for his Intifada.

“And Now for a Commercial Break”



Kim Jong-il, Chairman of the NDC of North Korea, would like to take this opportunity to say;

I am a proud card-carrying member of the

Enriched Uranium
Hair Club for Men

A trusted solution for dictators with thinning economies.

Inconvenient Justice

Shiite militants celebrate Saddam’s sentencing in Sadr City. You can bet that these militiamen won’t thank the US for bringing the dictator to justice. Note the obsolete rifle held aloft by the main figure. The weapon is more useful for killing unarmed civilians than fighting well-armed US troops. It’s no small wonder why the Mahdi Army got mauled in Karbala and Najaf.

When Al Qaeda leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was killed, Bush’s critics were not pleased. Democratic Congressman Pete Stark declared that the killing was performed, “just to cover Bush’s (rear)”. While another Democratic Congressman (Dennis Kucinich) contemptuously stated that the White House “can spin it all they want”. It’s as if he believed that there was no significance in the death of the leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq.

Even more bizarre was the statement of Michael Berg, the father of an American civilian (Nick Berg) who is believed to have been killed by Zarqawi. He was quoted as saying, “Zarqawi is a human being. He has a family who are reacting just as my family reacted when Nick was killed, and I feel bad for that. I feel doubly bad, though, because Zarqawi is also a political figure…”

A political figure? Was he elected to office?

Following a successful countrywide referendum on a new Constitution, a permanent National Assembly was created in Iraq’s first truly fair elections in their entire history. Now this government has finally sentenced Saddam Hussein to hang by the neck for one of his many crimes against humanity.

Even before the verdict was announced the conspiracy accusations began flying. Saddam’s defense attorney, Khalil al-Dulaimi, begged to postpone the sentence because he claimed it was timed to boost President Bush for the mid-term elections. It is not Bush’s fault that the trial is over and Saddam was found guilty for his reprisals in the wake of the Dujail assassination attempt. The crime was committed by Saddam and he should pay for it. Yet Bush critics didn’t hesitate to hop on the bandwagon and spew the typical anti-Bush fare.

The Huffington Post chimed in with an article that rehashes a tired leftwing argument based on moral relativism. Joan Shore blurted out, “How can anyone in a civilized world justify or condone what has happened? Invading (preemptively) a sovereign nation, occupying it, capturing its leader, setting up a kangaroo court, and sentencing him to hang for crimes against his own people...

Did we dare do this with Idi Amin, with Joseph Stalin, with Chou En-lai, with Pol Pot?”

First off, this sovereign country invaded another sovereign country, Kuwait.

Secondly, what is so evil about bringing a criminal to justice?

Third, today Iraq is ruled by a legitimate government while Saddam seized power in a bloody purge.

Finally, I wonder about the maturity of Bush critics. What the hell does Idi Amin, Joe Stalin or anyone else have to do with Saddam Hussein? Why must we be continually subjected to these immature arguments that claim a dictator was unfairly treated because he was made to pay for his crimes while other dictators aren’t. The only relevance that argument presents is that we aren’t bringing enough dictators to justice.

Yesterday a BBC opinion piece hopefully declared that this verdict will have little impact on the American elections. The article asks, “Was it an election ruse, bearing the mark of Karl Rove, the President’s chief strategist?”

Herein lies the rub. Even if the verdict occurred in June it would still be labeled as a cover-up or as some other injustice by Bush’s critics, just like Zarqawi’s death was. The anti-Bush crowd channels everything that happens in Iraq into any possible means that can be used against the President. In their minds the conviction and sentencing of Saddam Hussein is no cause for celebration because it will benefit President Bush. This is why they obsess so much over the verdict’s importance to the elections. They can only see boogey men at work behind the timing because it upsets their propaganda which paints President Bush as the real criminal.

Since anti-Bush activists are busy making victims out of Iraqi Baathists, Al Qaeda and the Taliban - Saddam Hussein’s guilt introduces a hefty dose of reality that disturbs their worldview. It makes them quite uncomfortable.
