Our racist rebels

Oh dear. Sure hope this isn't true. But it must be; it's on Time Magazine's website. Turns out our Libyan rebels don't have a lot of use for black folks.

This isn't exactly a new story. It's been easily accessible for months to anyone who makes the effort to go beyond Al Jazeera and the BBC for their news. But when the story hits Time, you know it ain't going away anytime soon. Not a pretty story. Our rebels have been summarily executing migrant black workers because, well, because they're black. Oh my. Wonder how our rebels really feel about the leader of the free world?

The story does make a valiant attempt to pin our rebels' atrocities on Gaddafi. Apparently he used to encourage integration. Multiculturalism. Well, no wonder. Even Angela Merkel swore off that idea a little while ago. Maybe there are some wannabe German rebels who, with the help of a six month Nato bombing campaign, could free their country from the oppressive yoke of 42 years of forced multiculturalism. Merkel could take her chess board to Gaza and join Gaddafi and Shalit in their tournament (latest score: Shalit still ahead, six matches to five, with two draws).

And if that's not enough to set our rebels on a righteous rampage, get this; Gaddafi offered immigrants a fast track to citizenship if they joined his military. Who can even imagine such a thing? He wasn't called the Tyrant of Tripoli for nothing, was he? These black guys come waltzing in to Libya from Sudan and Mali and Somalia, serve a couple years in the army, and poof, they're "Libyans" just like our rebels? No wonder our rebels are pissed off.

Oh, wait a minute... got a headline here from the Washington Times, June 18 2009; "Military service offers fast track to citizenship".

That's not Libya they're talking about. That's the USA.
