Pig Sex for Obamapalooza

A woman Muslim, a gay bishop and a Baptist preacher go to an inauguration... we are the punchline.

HBO broadcasting the coronation pre-party, DTV featuring the same broadcast on it's special channel, CNN featuring fawning specials all day... the MainStreamMedia has passed bias and embraced 'partisan'.

"So now we are in this Orwellian paradox of seeing Obama's base turn out in record numbers on the basis apparently of race, but on the other hand the implied warning that if anyone else were likewise to consider that fact, then he would be racialist. So is he an identity-politics candidate or a post racialist unifier? Or both? It all reminds me of the perennial complaints of the National Council of La Raza (the race) lecturing insensitive others about their unfair consideration of race in matters of illegal immigration. This is very disappointing, because lost in Obamania is the complete repudiation of his original promise precisely not to become a racial candidate." -- Victor Davis Hanson

All for a man who substitutes arrogance for accomplishment:

"I have become a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions." -- Barack Obama

Van Helsing has details on some of the more amusing celebrations of the Obamessiah

Homosexuals to Celebrate The One's Coronation With DC Pig Sex Orgy

A homosexual "pig sex" orgy has been planned at a Washington hotel just as the traditional inaugural party season — this year honoring President-elect Barack Obama — is beginning, according to a Christian group that ministers to homosexuals.

The invitation-only event will be held at the Doubletree Hotel at 1515 Rhode Island Avenue NW in DC, which is offering a discounted rate to those who attend. Features are to include "a bondage cross," "a flogging station," and "rimming stations." Rimming — aka "oral-anal sodomy"...

I think "Sodomy" is exactly the analogy that I was looking for to describe an Obama presidency.

Remember how Obama dramatically quit wearing a flag pin? Created his own Presidential seal? Wouldn't say the Pledge? Painted over the American flag on O-Force-One? Trashed hundreds of American flags at his nomination?

Barack Hussein Obama hates America

Well... Michelle Malkin notes Obama supporters are now defacing the flag

The official Flag of the Obama States of America

“The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.” -- US Flag Code

Well, don’t you dare question their patriotism.

Obama Supporters Desecrate US Flag

Obama also announced his permanent campaign, Organizing for America, today to push his agenda on the country. This sounds like an offshoot of his Marxist Youth Corps that he talked about back in November.

Barack Hussein Obama is back to channeling Jeremiah Wright, via Gateway Pundit

Obama Calls Out to Flawed Americans For a New Declaration of Independence

Barack Obama's mentor and spiritual teacher would regularly preach about America's Fondling Fathers. He'd preach about the rapist Thomas Jefferson. He'd talk about Israel's ethnic bombs and G-d Damn AmeriKKKa.
...
Although, those vaunted professionals in the mainstream media never reported any of this.
...
The cut-and-runner still thinks he's Lincoln. He's tracing the train route Abraham Lincoln took Washington before his inauguration.

On MLK day we should not forget SNOBama's "fathers":

"Mentor" Frank Davis
"Reverend" Al Sharpton
"Reverend" James Meeks
"Reverend" Jeremiah Wright
"Reverend" Otis Moss III
"Minister" Louis Farrakhan
"Pastor" Michael Pfleger
"Reverend" James Bevel
"Reverend" Eric Lee
"Pastor" Mack King
"Bishop" Desmond Tutu

Barack Hussein Obama plays the race card and forgets that it is his own party, the (D)emocrats, that enforce Jim Crow and fought for slavery.

"I don't believe it is possible to transcend race in this country. Race is a factor in this society. The legacy of Jim Crow and slavery has not gone away." -- Barack Obama

It was Reagan(R) who made MLK day a holiday and (D)emocrats who enforced segregation.

And no... MLK would not be impressed because his point was:

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

Patriot Post

INSIGHT: MLK

...some of King's chief lieutenants, like Jesse Jackson, tolerate no dissension from their liberal ranks now. They have abandoned King's dream, and aligned themselves with political and social agendas obsessed with color at the expense of character.

Black conservatives of national stature, such as Clarence Thomas, Condoleezza Rice, Colin Powel, Ward Connerly, Michael Steele, Jesse Lee Peterson, Alan Keyes, Don Scoggins, Alvin Williams, Ken Blackwell, Thomas Sowell, Star Parker and Walter Williams are routinely castigated by the Black Supremacists, as "Uncle Toms" and "puppets." Yet these are the men and women who really understand King's central message about character.

Today, president-elect Barack Hussein Obama will be waxing eloquently about King's legacy. But it is worth noting that prior to his murder in 1968, Martin King went to Obama's hometown of Chicago to meet with Mayor Richard Daley, father of the current Windy City Don. Chicago was a hotbed of racial hatred under Daley, and not much has changed.
...
Chicago was not only a denizen of racial hatred but the violent black supremacist movement was born there. King said,

"Those who are associated with 'Black Power' and black supremacy are wrong."

And today the Obamessiah is coronated for only his pigmentation as he drags the Clinton machine back into the Whitehouse.

"We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK. That's not leadership. That's not going to happen." -- Barack Obama

They still hate us

So the Islamo-fascists are driving cars over a poster of the Moonbat Messiah? No kidding? Who woulda thunk it?

Well, anyone with half a brain could have told you it would happen. But we lost this election. It's all sunbeams and rainbows and unicorn farts from now on, remember?

Look, I don't know who first started the meme that if we elected the Liberal Lord and Messiah, all the wars in the world would stop and everybody would love us again. But it's bullshit, it's always been bullshit, and if the dipshits on the Left had actually bothered to take a good hard look at the people this country is fighting, they would have seen that nothing we do is going to stop that hatred. But that takes too much effort for the Left. It takes thought, and serious contemplation, neither of which the Left is capable of.

The only difference now is that this country is losing the President who fights back, and installing the Great Surrenderer.

We are so fucked.

One man's journey

Blogrolling is still down. They got hacked last year around October, and they've been rebuilding things from the ground up while keeping their service going. But they should be back up soon, and when they are, there are some serious additions I need to make to the blogroll.

One of them is Big Hollywood. Because this post alone justifies reading it daily.

I have since met real people who identify as Republicans and even Christians – the religion we are constantly warned (despite plenty of evidence to the contrary) is the worst, most dangerous in the world. I have been in the dreary Catholic church of my partner’s parents. And guess what. I’ve never felt more welcome, even as an openly gay man there with my partner. I have no interest in Catholicism or going to church. And I’m sure underneath, the church folk do not fully approve of how we live. Maybe some do. But newsflash: I don’t have to approve of how they live either. And none of us is killing the other. They are not the enemy.

I have over the past eight years also observed – and experienced the lash of –
an increasing unwillingness by otherwise decent, intelligent people to tolerate points of view that do not adhere to “politically correct” guidelines. In other words, the “talking stick” schtick no longer asks that you merely listen, it demands that you shut up. And you must conform. Just days after Sarah Palin’s powerhouse speech at the Republican National Convention – before Tina Fey had even unleashed her incredible spoof – I attended a business lunch where withering remarks about the newbie candidate went down around the table like well-lined-up dominoes. Palin was already being labeled a “self-parody”; it wasn’t Tina Fey’s fault. When it came my turn to pipe in, I decided to try chivalry, and simply said I liked the lady.

Silence. Whoops. Party over. Lesson learned: don’t defend the white trash.

Everyone in LA – or NY or SF - should try saying something un-PC in “polite” company. Just to experience the sting. Talk about change: in an instant, you begin to understand how single women in Salem must have felt. Suddenly, you feel naked, exposed, wishing you had Tourette syndrome instead of common sense. After a few such experiences - and they usually involve some degree of verbal abuse - you start thinking twice about speaking your mind. Funny, I thought that was what we were all supposed to be fighting for.

You have got to read the whole thing.

Guess the anti-semite!

Who said it: Bill Moyers or David Duke?

There is a constant stream of anti-antisemitism and hatred flowing from the Left. This is nothing surprising for anyone who's been watching the past few years. There's just one big difference between the two people - David Duke has been rejected by both the Right and Left.

Bill Moyers is only rejected by the Right. The Left embraced him whole-heartedly, as he represents their values. For that matter, they should have embraced David Duke as well, since he represents much of what the Left embodies. And they certainly have no problem with KKK members, as proven by Robert Byrd (D) of West Virginia.

Corrected thanks to Prayerborn in the comments. Hey, with the massive amount of anti-antisemitism coming from the Left, I get my anti-Semites mixed up every now and then.

Holy moly

When someone is this ignorant, I don't know how they can be an expert on ANYTHING. The fact that this quote made it into print:

There are nearly 7,000 gun shops along the southern U.S. border, about three for every mile. They sell thousands of hand grenades, rocket-propelled grenade launchers, AK-47s, and "cop killer" guns and bullets that cut through Kevlar body armor. The weapons quickly flow south, again with barely a nod from U.S. Border Patrol.

Wow. Just wow. Nowhere in America is it legal to buy or sell live hand grenades. Nowhere in America is it legal to buy or sell RPG's. AK-47's? Yes, semi-auto. Ooooo, the dreaded "cop-killer" guns! That would be....... what, exactly? A deer rifle?

What a load of crap. And yet this load of crap made it into FOREIGN POLICY MAGAZINE????

Holy crap.

Regarding the plane that landed in the Hudson River this afternoon.

The Pilot of Flight 1549?

The one that just crashed landed into the Hudson?

I bow down to his greatness.

It's hard enough to land a plane when everything works. But to land a plane on an unstable medium when your engines have crapped out, and keep it in one piece? When both engines are disabled due to birds getting sucked in?

That's skill. That's one hell of a pilot. Those passengers are alive because he was able to keep that plane stable and going in the right direction.

Thank you, Mr Chesley B. “Sully” Sullenberger.

Dear Food Companies

When you put "100% pure horseradish!" on the front of a bottle in BIG FUCKING LETTERS, and my wife buys said supposed 100% pure horseradish, only to find out that you've added SOYBEAN OIL!

FUCKING!

SOYBEAN!

OIL!

IN THE FUCKING HORSERADISH!

It pisses me off. My wife is allergic to soy. We don't eat soy. I don't even like eating soy when my wife isn't around. As far as I'm concerned, all this fucking soy is part of the reason our kids are walking around pussified and going DEEDEEDEE! You know what soy has in it? ESTROGEN! Now maybe I'm off my rocker here, but force-feeding your boys a food that contains estrogen is NOT the way to raise them.

But try to find food without soy in it. Go ahead. Try it. Soy protein. Soy flour. Soybean oil SOY LECITHIN. Every fucking food out there has SOY LECITHIN in it. It's an emulsifier. It's in chocolate. It's in bread. It's in all kinds of shit. It's everywhere.

The last thing I wanted to see soybeans in was my horseradish.

Fucking make me puke.

Here they come

The gun banners, gun grabbers, etc etc etc.

Blair Holt’s Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009 would amongst other things:

1. Require licensing for anybody that owns a gun.

2. Would require photographs and a thumbprint

3. Would require passage of a test that covers:

(A) the safe storage of firearms, particularly in the vicinity of persons who have not attained 18 years of age;

(B) the safe handling of firearms;

(C) the use of firearms in the home and the risks associated with such use;

(D) the legal responsibilities of firearms owners, including Federal, State, and local laws relating to requirements for the possession and storage of firearms, and relating to reporting requirements with respect to firearms; and

(E) any other subjects, as the Attorney General determines to be appropriate;

My response?

On point 1: Fuck you

On point 2: Fuck you

On point 3: Fuck you

A: Up a tree

B: With a chainsaw

C: Without lube, using a sandpaper condom

D: Using a live scorpion as a dildo

E: Into a vat of Hydrochloric acid.

Scratch a Democrat, find a dictator. The first act of dictators world wide remains to disarm their victims, so that their victims could not fight back. Fuck Congress. Fuck Blair Holt. And fuck any government agency that tries to enforce this.

MOLON LABE, you choad-sucking pieces of shit.

Dangerous Victims

Kevin Baker has another fan, one who has linked to his Dangerous Victims essays. If you haven't read them yourself, perhaps now would be a good time to do so.

Essay One: It's most important that all potential victims be as dangerous as they can.

Essay Two: Violence and the Social Contract.

Essay Three: Governments, Criminals, and Dangerous Victims.

Read them? Back already? Right then, on to Kevin Baker's latest fan, Hecate. (Love the name!) In her post about why she linked to those three essays, she lays out a few plain truths that the anti-gun crowd would rather forget:

I recall a friend describing a brief time when he worked in a liquor store. It was the only one in the area that had never been robbed. The store owner had a policy that anyone working there had to have a gun and carry it openly.

One evening, a carful of young urban males drove past the store repeatedly. Then they stopped for a better look. What they saw was a store clerk wearing a Smith & Wesson .357 K-frame and looking them right in the eye.

They left and never came back.

What saved my friend, and his employer's profits, was that he was a dangerous victim, not a helpless one.

While that's a powerful statement, there's another truth that she writes just one paragraph above it:

The first essay applies most closely to the surface issue here. The way to keep convenience store clerks and customers safe is not to make them as helpless as possible. Robbers aren't afraid of the police. They almost never arrive in time to stop a crime in progress. Robbers aren't afraid of the courts. They have been through that system over and over, only to wind up back on the street to commit more crimes. The only thing robbers fear is somebody with the tools, skills, and will to stop them right now.

I recall reading someone, perhaps Francis Porretto, who described how the laws are a substitute for violence. We as a society follow the laws that are laid down because the alternative is violence. Let's take theft. Horse theft, in particular. You've all heard about how a horse thief ain't good fer nuthin' but hangin', right? Why do you think that was?

Because horses were required for life in many places in the West. Stealing a man's horse meant that you were stealing his way of making a living. And in the Old West, stealing a man's living meant quite literally that he might starve. Without a code of laws in place to punish those horse thieves, what recourse would a man have? If there was no way of repairing the damage that those thieves caused, then what could you do to stop the thieves before they started?

You killed them. Period. You wreaked great violence upon the criminals who would destroy you.

With a code of laws in place, you allowed justice under those laws to replace the violence that you once took into your own hands. When you agree to live under the law, you agree to let the law replace your own vengence. Instead of hanging a horse thief, you allowed the Sheriff or his deputy to arrest the horse thief and send him to jail.

So, got all this? I haven't mixed things up too badly have I? Still with me? Good

So what happens when the law, the law that we agree to live under, does NOT give us our reparation? If we agree that the law replaces our personal violence, but the law does not address the grievances we have against the criminals who have harmed us? And have no doubt, the law in this country has been getting weaker and weaker for decades. Hell, the whole reason the death penalty is still in existence is because life in prison doesn't really mean LIFE IN PRISON. It means maybe 25 years, then parole, and that's if you don't get out earlier for good behavior. Our grievances are NOT being addressed by the law. The criminals in many cities run rampant, knowing that even if they get caught they won't be punished for their crimes.

So the law which is supposed to punish the criminals is not doing what it's supposed to do. The alternative to violence isn't working. What's left? Well, it's the first solution that the law was supposed to supplant - violence.

I strongly urge my friends to be as violent as possible. Just remember the difference between violent and protective, versus violent and predatory. The former is commendable and should be encouraged. The latter will be hunted down and killed by the former.

A Target Rich Environment

I'll second Vinnie's comment - I don't know how Zombie goes and photograph's these things and still remains sane. I'd be out there with a baseball bat in one hand, and a machete in the other. It would not end nicely.

Linky Love

I'm going to be busy for the next couple of days, but I'll try to at least toss up some links that I think are worthwhile.

Cold Fury is on a roll, with posts about pro-Hamas idiots in Great Britain, and the Leftists who support them.

QandO has a video that perfectly captures a Leftist in the middle of her own personal awakening. Unfortunately, I'm of the opinion that she'll roll over and go right back to sleep. Remember Leftists, don't let reality intrude into your perfect world!

You would think that if you're famous, and you're walking on the red carpet into some event, and there are cameras all around, you would stop yourself from getting caught peeping some boobage. Well, I would think about that. I guess he didn't.

Kevin Baker recommends Gran Torino.

I. Want. One. So. Damn. Bad........ I have been wanting one ever since I borrowed my brother-in-law's. Ah well. Maybe once the finances are stable I can see if the BinL will sell it to me.

Gotta go. More later.

Blagojevich impeached

I saw the news yesterday, and I watched as the Illinois House of Representatives thundered on about how he had "BETRAYED THE PEOPLE OF ILLINOIS!"

Uh huh. I'm sure that those Illinois Democrat American Communist Party Members really give a shit about what's good for Illinois.

Here's my take, and I'm willing to put money on it - the Illinois Communists want Blagojevich gone, and they want him gone quickly. Why? Because ANY investigation into Blagojevich will uncover evidence of THEIR criminal activity as well. The longer he's out there flapping, the bigger the chance that he'll take some of them down with him.

And he's going down. Is Tony Rezko sentenced yet? No? Wasn't he set to be sentenced a long time ago? Yes, he was. The date for his sentencing keeps getting pushed back, and pushed back, because the prosecutors know that as long as they can keep making deals with him, the more he'll keep singing. And Rezko was a buddy to Blagojevich AND The Liberal Lord and Messiah, B. Hussein Obama.

It's scaring the shit out of the Democrat American Communist Party. It's not a matter of IF they are corrupt, because they've been corrupt for years. There's not a single honest politician that comes out of Chicago, period. Doesn't happen. They want to get rid of Blagojevich before the facts start to come out about THEM.

Bank on it.

Why I own guns

Because if any pro-terrorism butt-sniffers ever throw a molotov cocktail at me, I'm ventilating them.

Funny, when you watch the video of the pro-terrorist anal warts, you notice that they're screaming "ALLAHU ACKBAR!" I'm sure that's not indicative of ANYTHING at all. Nope. No sirree.

A Summation

I wish I could post it all, but that would be stealing.

I have no gripe with those who believe there are different paths to an ideal, healthy America. I'm fairly convinced that America is no Leftist's dream, however, hence the charge of dishonesty. The smallest of children can smoke out a platitude, and I take no solace in the Left's charade that they want as I do for the nation, and western civilization as a whole. It is a bald-faced lie, built upon a shifting, unstable Sargasso Sea of prevarication.

(.....)

This selfsame deceit manifests itself time and again in the Leftist philosophy. Those who cry "Peace!" the loudest are not for peace per se, they are merely the enemies of their own civilization. They cried Peace! when Reagan ousted communist thugs in Grenada, they shouted Peace! against the contras, they shouted Peace! against the Israelis in a stomach-curdling example of relativism.

One never heard, however, the cries of Peace! when the Soviets rolled into Budapest or Prague or Afghanistan, you will never hear Peace! when the Palestinians and Hezbollah reign rockets of death upon a peaceful neighbor, you will never hear Peace! when a mutant Islamist saws the head off a Daniel Pearl.

These filthy lying creatures of the darkness don't desire peace: they desire the defeat of bourgeoise western civilization, for a myriad of reasons, mostly cowardice and the economic advantage of simply being able to be a childish whiner in a society that respects and rewards the hard work and, yes, puritan ethic they are too somnambulent and lazy to aspire to. The current virulent anti-Semitism gushing through the bloodstream of the liberal establishment like a raging Marburg virus is nothing more or less than it has always been: the symptom of the craven cowardice and indolence of the pampered elite. Far easier to collaborate with the ululating Islamist decapitators than to stand tall and defend the Jews against those who brazenly boast of annihilating them. It truly takes a most rancid soul to sit in one's comfort zone and proclaim the Israelis are Nazis and SS troopers and genocidal murderers. To have descended to that level of gibberish is to have proclaimed oneself to all sane peoples that you are an insipid, unserious, dilettantish piece of human garbage, incapable of the simplest differentiation between nobility and gross savagery. I for one refuse to believe these Leftists actually believe this filth they purvey: no one in their right mind could do so. It simply must be the manifestation of the aforementioned cowardice, and the adolescent giggling of the shock-value childish.

Do yourself a favor and read all of it. The biggest problem we have in this country is that we thin Leftists can be reasoned with. They cannot. We need to stop pretending that they are anything other than the idiots who would throw open the gates of the city to the barbarians outside.

Side note - beware the Leftist linking to nude pictures of herself in the comments. No, really, she's throwing up links to her nude pictures. I have to ask, what kind of warped mental process makes people think they should share nude (albeit with naughty bits covered strategically) pictures of themselves with total strangers? That's like the flasher on the street who opens his trenchcoat to anyone who passes by.

If she's trying to prove that Leftists aren't right in the head, she's doing a good job.

Well, BOO-FREAKIN'-HOO!

One of the most liberal rags in the country is about to go under.

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, which first rolled off the presses in 1863 and has been the state's longest-publishing newspaper, is up for sale.

The newspaper's staff was called into a closed meeting today by Publisher Roger Oglesby. Present at the meeting was Hearst Newspaper President Steve Swartz, who told the newsroom that Hearst Corp. is starting a 60-day process to find a buyer.

If a buyer is not found, Swartz said, possible options include creating an all-digital operation with a greatly reduced staff, or closing its operations entirely.

In no case will Hearst continue to publish the P-I in printed form, Swartz said.

Regardless, he said, if no buyer is found, the P-I as a newspaper will not publish after the two months is up.

I know that there are people out there who say "But, if the newspapers go, it'll hurt the country!" To which I say, BULLSHIT. The Seattle P-I is one of the most biased pieces of crap I've ever had the misfortune to read. I got more information out of the Seattle Weekly when I lived in the Puget Sound area. "Oh, but we need to hear every voice!" say the fence-sitters. Again, I say BULLSHIT. The only reason to read the P-I was to find out what the enemy was planning. Period. And they do that online now, so what's the point of having to buy it in paper version?

The worthless biased media is one of the reasons this country is falling further and further into Socialism and ruin. It's the reason we have such an un-informed population. The "news"papers haven't put out NEWS in years. It's all editorials, from the front page to the Life & Entertainment section. It's not reporting, it's PROPAGANDA.

Well, you can only make so much money selling propaganda to one side of the political sphere. I hope the Seattle P-I dies a painful, horrible death, followed by the New York Times. This country would be much better off.

You know what? Let me revise my statement a little bit. The loss of an actual NEWSPAPER would be bad indeed. But the Seattle P-I isn't a newspaper any more. It's just another worthless propaganda outlet. Don't mourn it. It doesn't deserve your pity or your sympathy. It deserves to go tits-up, and disappear from the national scene. Fuck 'em and feed 'em fishheads.

plagerism

While doing research on the web today I ran across a website that sells essays.
On it I found a link for "Plagiarism". Quite honestly I knew that sites like this existed. Though I hardly believe that they actually expect people to give proper credit for these essays and term papers. I just found an ironic hypocrisy in their website.

Plagiarism is an issue of great concern to high school, college and university faculty. Plagiarism is a moral, ethical, and legal issue. Plagiarism has been around for centuries, but the Internet and the subsequent proliferation of information have made the problem rampant. Plagiarism is not limited to students. Teachers, lawyers, businessmen, school administrators, politicians, reporters and other people in all walks of life plagiarize the work of others.

Plagiarism is taking someone else's work and passing it off as one's own. If you do not wish to plagiarize then all you need to do is provide proper acknowledgment or documentation when you use the work or words of others. It is just that simple.

There are a multitude of resources available on the Internet to educate students about what plagiarism is and show them strategies to prevent them from plagiarizing. Below you will find a selection of some these sources.

We are so screwed

So now that The Liberal Lord and Messiah B. Hussein Obama has nominated someone totally and completely unqualified to be head of the CIA....

Just how long will it take for someone to hit the USA with another terrorist attack?

We know the Democrats American Communist Party won't fight back.
We know the Republican Stupid Party might, maybe, kinda sorta fight back, if the political winds are right and they can spend more government dollars.

Honestly, I think the only reason terrorists haven't hit us before now is the knowledge that President Bush would be calling in the airstrikes on any country stupid enough to do it. But know that we have a member of the defeatist surrendercrats about to take the Oval Office, that deterrent is gone.

So, how long?

The Socialist Dream, realized

Or, what a difference twenty-eight years make. Of course, the socialist indoctrination has been going on for much longer than that. The Liberal Lord and Messiah B. Hussein Obama is just the culmination of that indoctrination.

Hope and Change?

Yeah, I hope I have some change left after Congress gets done. $1.6 TRILLION in deficit spending?

You know what that is? That's who sub-human pig-fuckers firing mortars from the yard of a boy's school, so that they can use children as cover for their terrorist attacks.

The anti-Semitic cult of death needs to be extinguished. If they refuse to extinguish that death cult themselves, they they themselves will need to be extinguished.

And they haven't shown any amount of self-restraint. So guess where that leaves the actual humans in this conflict?

Anyone who sides with Hamas and the Paleswinians can just go fucking choke themselves. If you actually think that Israel is the aggressor in this conflict, YOU ARE TOO FUCKING STUPID TO BE ALLOWED TO STEAL MY PRECIOUS OXYGEN.

The Norwegian Battle Sammich

One of the military forums I frequent has a recipe called the Norwegian Battle Sammich. The Ragin' Mrs. cooked 'em up for dinner tonight.

Wow. Tasty, filling, who the hell cares if it's authentic or not, it's damned good! The wife used boneless porkchops for the filling, but we both think it would go better with ham.

So, since it was so damned good, I've decided to pass it on.

2 slices Swiss Cheese

1 slice tomato

2 leaves Romain lettuce

A1/Heinz 57 (I think we could substitute a good mustard)

1 Kaiser Roll (or one of any good sammich rolls)

Have I mentioned just how spoiled I am? Yes, I am! I admit it! And I'm rubbing it in! HAAAAA!

Dog Bites Man

Harry Reid is a lying asscannon? Say it ain't so!

Once again, the facts on the ground prove that members of the Democrat American Communist Party are nothing more than lying, traitorous, anti-american mamma-forkers who deserve to be hung.

In the public square.

Congresscritters. They're like whale shit, only lower!

And since we're visiting C&S anyways, let me say that this map is bullshit. Oh, I'm not doubting that there will be a civil war. It might come by 2010, it might take longer. But it'll be urban vs. rural. And if some other country steps in, you will have the large cities, populated mostly by worthless, spineless, gutless, corrupt fucking piece of shit Leftists, who will surrender to their new masters just as soon as they possibly can, while the rural folks start picking off the ChiComs with deer rifles.

It's really getting to the point that if I was faced with the situation of defending one of the large cities, vs. keeping the invaders out of the heartland, I'd let the cities fucking rot. Every last one of them.

And does anyone actually think that Idaho, Montana, Utah, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Texas, Oklahoma et al would actually stand to be controlled by anyone other than themselves? We have enough guns, and most likely enough ammo to last for a while, if we don't use it to slaughter the invaders and steal THEIR ammo. Which we most likely have a gun to use in.

But make no mistake, every last Democrat American Communist Party stronghold can just fuck off and die. That includes the Twin Cities, who's outright voter fraud has most likely gotten that half-pint, deranged fucking excuse of a human Stuart Smally a Congressional seat. Only MORE proof of what a fucking joke Congress has become.

Let me be clear - my oath is to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America, against all enemies, foreign AND DOMESTIC. I can't think of any greater domestic enemies of the Constitution than Leftists, their supporters, and their enablers.

Free food

This post of Og's reminds me of a story that my family tells about my father's younger days. Back when my father was in high school, (back when a high school education was actually an education instead of rote indoctrination), he took a biology class where they had to dissect a chicken.

Yes, I chicken. No, I don't know why.

Now, to add a little back story on to this - my father's family was poor. Damned poor. Thursday night was fried chicken night, and each child (I think there were six or seven at that point) got exactly two pieces of chicken, plus a baked potato. Well, for a growing boy in highschool, that just didn't cut it. But economics being what they were, Dad wasn't going to just have fried chicken fall out of the sky and on to his plate.

So when the biology class started naming all the parts of the chicken, Dad took note. Literally. He memorized the names of every muscle, every tendon, every ligament, and every bone that a chicken has. He became an expert on the various body parts of the chicken. Had it down pat.

And then came Thursday night. The fried chicken night. So dad is munching on his chicken, leans over to his sister who has quite the squig factor, and begins to explain to her the various muscles, tendons and ligaments in the piece of chicken she was eating.

My aunt, according to the reports of the family who were there at the time, turned quite the spectacular shade of green, and slowly pushed her plate away from her, at which point Dad inquired if she was feeling well, and since she wasn't, would she mind if he took her chicken? My aunt didn't even want to see any food that that point agreed. And Dad got his free chicken.

There was only the one sibling that worked with, but Dad was almost guaranteed an extra piece of chicken for a month, after which the sibling changed spots on the table.

Jew Hatred in San Francisco?

Gosh, do you mean to tell me that the festering cesspool of Leftist thought is decidedly anti-Semite?

Say it ain't so! Where's the tolerance, man? Where's the love?

More hatred in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. At this point, I'm willing to state that anyone who advocates for the destruction of Israel needs to be shipped over to Gaza to protest over THERE.

The Post about Barack Obama's smoking habit

Guys - look, I understand the need to throw crap at that rat-bastard commie asshole from Chicago.

But smoking? As far as I know that's still legal. And quite a few Americans do it. Find something else. Hammer his ass for smoking dope and doing lines of coke twenty years ago. There's already pictures of him smoking a joint floating out on the internet. Nail him for THAT.

But posting a picture of Barack the fucking commie with a cigarette in his mouth ain't cutting it.

Skating rink

We had freezing rain last night. It's being followed up by a few snow flurries today. The entire sidewalk could be used as a skating rink.

Ah, the funner side of Midwest weather.

Blah

You ever have one of those days where you're attitude is just "Meh. Whatever. Fuck it."

Yeah. I'm having one of those days.

I'm pretty sure

That when Monty Python made "Life of Bryan", they weren't out to completely stereotype the liberal mindset. But after watching the movie, the first have just about damn near pins the Leftists to a tee. Especially the scene where the crown is ascribing Bryan any miraculous motive they can think of.

I think I know where Al Gore got his ideas from. And the eco-freaks followed the script perfectly.

OK, all you muzzle loader shooters

Help out a newbie here.

I took the new boomstick out for a test run today. I've got maxiball bullets. Tried to load them with a patch, but it wouldn't go down. It was so tight that the starter was leaving an imprint on the top of the bullet as I tried to get it to go down, and the cotton was actually getting cut in a few places at the bottom of the bullet. They went in without a patch, but I had no accuracy, which I think is because I don't have the seal that a patch is supposed to give. The patches I've got are the pre-lubed cotton, .005 inch thick. I'm using .50 cal maxiball lead cast bullets. This is a brand new gun, the barrel is fine, and right now I'm assuming that any and all problems with accuracy are caused by operator headspace and timing.

Any ideas?

Going shopping today

There's a few things I need to pick up for my muzzle loader, and there's a miter saw at Sears that's calling my name.

Toodles!

So....

How was your New Year's Eve? Safe, I hope. The Ragin' Mrs. and I went over to a friend's house, and except for one quick jaunt to pick up chips and salsa, nobody left the house. Toasted at midnight, crashed into the bed provided, and woke up this morning with everything I had last night.

Not too bad, all in all.

On the violence in Israel

And yes, I'm calling the Gaza Strip Israel, because Israel owned it, built it up, and then gave it to that sickening group of terrorist, pig-fucking, sub-human scum in an attempt to live in peace.

See where that got them? Did anyone really remember that? Israel had greenhouses growing food in Gaza. The "Palestinians" turned those greenhouses into weapons smuggling centers.

As Captain Ed puts it, while answering Glenn(s) The Puppetmaster Greenwald:

That construct suffers from one problem — the lack of recognition of Israeli actions in the past. Israel has tried military action, occupation, withdrawal, a peace plan (Oslo), another peace plan (Wye River), yet another peace plan (Annapolis), blockade, ending the blockade, and a series of so-called “truces” that allowed the Palestinians to play a triangle offense and provoke Israel into action. What do all of these actions have in common? None of them worked.

Israel had tried to have peace. It didn't work. Peace is only possible when both sides want peace. Israel has shown through their words and their actions that they want peace. The palestinians have show through their words and their actions that they only want to kill Jewish civilians.

Well, they got their wish. They kept killing Jewish civilians. And now Israel is responding to protect itself. If anyone has a problem with that, I suggest they go live in Sderot, where even the bus stops have been turned into bomb shelters due to the constant rocket attacks by Hamas and Hezbullah. See how much they like it.

On houses

Found this post at Sippican Cottage via BabyTrollBlog, and I have to say I agree with this guy 100%.

Everyone looks around and sees houses like this. They pass unremarked now. After a while, if it doesn't look like this, people are going to think a house looks strange. And it's wrong, wrong, wrong. The situations where a house nailed on the ass end of a garage are appropriate are so few there's no use talking about them. Never do this.

There's Postmodern evil afoot here. Everything is boiled down to a pastiche, and you put all these disconnected totems into a blender and put the mixed up parts on a concrete rectangle. It's making us all crazy in a very subtle but profound way.

There has been a concerted effort to dismantle all standards of right and wrong and beauty and truth. If ever truthiness was put into sticks and bricks, this house is it. When you rebel against standard things, sooner or later you run out of ways to be original, and all that is left is to do the exact opposite of good. It's the only permutation of new that's left to you after a while. The American house is becoming that perfect distillation of bad ideas. Everything exactly at cross-purposes with its stated purpose.

When the Ragin' Mrs. and I were house hunting, we found several houses in the $100k price range that just made us shake our heads. You can put all kinds of fancy add-ons to a bad house, and it's still a bad house. A house has to flow. We were looking at one house for $90k where every bedroom and the master bath were up a steep set of stairs that were a pain in the ass to climb. There were other houses where rooms seem to have been added on just so that the owner could say "Look, I've got a four bedroom house!" Yes, an extra bathroom is nice, but if it's tucked into a corner that you have to crawl through a maze to get through, then people won't use it. And the garage should NEVER, EVER be the focal point of the house.

Period.

Modern houses are ugly things. The cookie-cutter syndrome has taken over in suburbia, and it makes the Ragin' Mrs. and I vomit to see these legions of soul-less houses rise up everywhere we go. There are styles of American houses that have names - Saltbox. Victorian. Arts and Craft. Back when real craftsmen build real houses out of real wood, not pressboard walls covered in tarpaper and plastic siding. What would the modern home of today be called 100 years from now?

Cardboards? Generics? Blahs? Fall-aparts? Will the homes built today even last 100 years?

Fight back! Get soul back into the house you live in. You'll be happier for it.

Supervolcano?

So Yellowstone Park is experiencing earthquakes. And everyone who's ever heard about it is thinking about the Supervolcano.

Well, if it blows it blows, and that'll be the end of that, won't it? I'm not going to worry about something I have absolutely no control over. Besides, maybe I'll live long enough to see the hippies in the liberal enclaves killing each other over a can of beans.

There's a silver lining in every cloud.

Blog surfing

OK, so Billy Beck got into a tiff with Og over at Roberta X's place, about political ideas such as anarchy, and I've mostly stayed on the sidelines watching people gabber at each other while I just read and observed and thought about what everyone had to say. But there was one comment that just made me shake my head enough to post about on this thread at Roberta's place. The comment is almost at the end, if you feel like checking it out yourself:

Mr. Nikoley would seem to fall into that category."

"Seem."

One immediate detectable difference between us is that I have no idea whether I would "wish [you] would stop claiming to be on [my] side."

Same goes for Roberta.

For one, I am an individualist, but that's a philosophical (and biological) distinction for another day, perhaps.

In any case, as I reserve judgment on such matters until such time as I've attained certainty in accordance with my own values, meaning: not the "side's" values -- whatever they are (feel free to tell me, though) -- I won't say one way or another what may or may not "seem" to me to speculatively be.

I think I learned this lesson back in around '91, in snail-mail correspondence with old friends, a year or so after concluding that rational anarchism was the only possible political position fully consistent with individualism, a principal grounded both in evolutionary biology and the rational nature of man.

Look, all of these individualists claiming to be for rational anarchy have managed to read probably a whole lot more philosophy than I have, and sat in their houses thinking and thinking and thinking until they figure that they've come up with the greatest political philosophy since man ever banged two rocks together. "Rational Anarchy"! Yay! And it totally and completely goes off the road from there.

But not in a good way.

I don't have a whole bunch of time this morning, but I can at least say this - The moment you bet your life that your fellow man will be civilized, you're going to lose your life. In anarchy, only the Strong rule. I didn't say the Just, or the Decent, only the Strong. "The rational nature of man"? Since when? SOME men are rational. Some men have so failed to rise above animal status that they don't deserve to be called human. I have dealt with both in my lifetime. And while I'm one of the most anti-government people you'll meet, I was still damned glad that there was a government around to drag the animal off to jail.

Humanity is a broad-ranging species. You've got your good ones, but you've also got the animals on two legs. Failing to take that into consideration only leads to failure. If you don't have a control for the bottom 10%, then the top 10% won't amount to a hill of beans.

And as for the proponents of Rational Anarchy, one of them has managed to get himself banned from a blog that lets just about anyone comment, and the others have managed to piss off quite a few people all on their own. If these are the people trying to convince others to give Rational Anarchy a try, they're doing a piss poor job.

9 inch nails is torture

Michael Laprarie at Wizbang reports Music no longer hath charm

"Earlier this month, Reprieve and the U.K. Musicians Union launched Zero dB, a "silent protest" over the use of music in interrogations. According to Reprieve, many of its clients have been subjected to hours of music played at deafening volume -- sometime for days or even weeks on end. And the BBC has reported on a particularly insidious practice: using the theme songs from Sesame Street and Barney to break the will of prisoners." -- Wired

What we have here is the convergence of two interesting ideas. First, the fact that groups like Nine Inch Nails are freely admitting that their music is a form of torture. Second, the fact that "torture" has been defined down to such things as forcing people to endure Nine Inch Nails songs against their will.

...does this mean that PBS is torturing our children whenever they air Sesame Street and Barney?

They would've tried breaking the terrorists at Gitmo with Barry Manilow but they knew the chances of survival were too low, and the risks of collatoral damage to the interrogators far too high, to justify using 'The' BMM.

When Democrats rule

I've said again and again, if you want to see just what the Democrat American Communist Party is proposing, and what the effects of their failed ideology brings, all you have to do is look at where they have been in control:

In a city often known as the nation's murder capital, with over 10,000 unsolved murders dating back to 1960, the police are in shambles through cutbacks and corruption trials. (They have a profitable sideline, though, as one of the nation's largest gun dealers, having sold 14 tons of used weapons out-of-state.) Their response times are legendarily slow. Their crime lab is so inept that it has been closed. One Detroit man found police so unresponsive when trying to turn himself in for murder that he hopped a bus to Toledo and confessed there instead

Detroit schools haven't ordered new textbooks in 19 years. Students have reported having to bring their own toilet paper. Teachers have reported bringing hammers to class for protection. Declining enrollment has forced 67 school closures since 2005 (more than a quarter of the city's schools). The graduation rate is 24.9 percent, the lowest of any large school district in the country. Not for nothing did one frustrated activist start pelting school board members with grapes during a meeting. She probably should've reached for something heavier.

An internal audit, which was 14 months late, estimates next year's city deficit to be as high as $200 million (helped along by $335,000 embezzled from the Department of Health and Wellness Promotion). With a dwindling tax base--even the city's three once-profitable casinos are seeing a downturn in revenues (the Greektown Casino is in bankruptcy)--the city has kicked around every money-making scheme from selling off ownership rights to the tunnel it shares with neighboring Windsor, Canada, to a fast food tax. It's perhaps unsurprising that Detroit now has the most speed traps in the nation.

It also has one of the highest property tax rates in Michigan, yet has over 60,000 vacant dwellings (a guesstimate--nobody keeps official count), meaning real estate values are in the toilet. Over the summer, the Detroit News sent a headline around the world, about a Detroit house that was for sale for $1. But it's not even that uncommon. As of this writing, there are at least five $1 homes for sale in Detroit.

(.........)

Over the last several years, it has ranked as the most murderous city, the poorest city, the most segregated city, as the city with the highest auto-insurance rates, with the bleakest outlook for workers in their 20s and 30s, and as the place with the most heart attacks, slowest income growth, and fewest sunny days. It is a city without a single national grocery store chain. It has been deemed the most stressful metropolitan area in America. Likewise, it has ranked last in numerous studies: in new employment growth, in environmental indicators, in the rate of immunization of 2-year-olds, and, among big cities, in the number of high school or college graduates.

Men's Fitness magazine christened Detroit America's fattest city, while Men's Health called it America's sexual disease capital. Should the editors of these two metrosexual magazines be concerned for their safety after slagging the citizens of a city which has won the "most dangerous" title for five of the last ten years? Probably not: 47 percent of Detroit adults are functionally illiterate.

This is just part of the article. Read it all. If I lived in Detroit, I'd be hiding in shame and denying my involvement in that city the way Elliot Spitzer denied his prostitution habit. Detroit is a shithole. Just driving through the place makes you depressed. I landed at Detroit on my way to Troy, and I couldn't leave Detroit soon enough.

It's broken down, broken apart, hell, it's just broken. And it has not had a Republican mayor since 1950.

The results of Democrat American Communist Party leadership are there for anyone to see. All people have to do is open their eyes. Everywhere the Left has had control turns into a shithole. How's that job growth and budget crunch going in California, hmmmmm?

How many mayors has Atlantic City, NJ gone through in the past year or two?

Anyone want to talk about the tax situation in Maryland?

The Leftist ideology is parasitic in nature - it can only survive while it drains the life out of it's host. But it always ends up killing it's host. America's only hope is to pry that fucking parasite off of us and throw it away.

Otherwise this country will end up just like Detroit.

Christmas in Sparta

Christmas lights in Evans Bosshard Park, Sparta, Wisconsin.

Click for the full sized photo. It's over 4MB, so there's quite a bit of detail in there.

Remember what I said about President Bush?

Just a couple of days ago?

Yeah. Don't think the military doesn't know who supports them and who doesn't.

President-elect Obama stopped by the Marine Corps base in Hawaii Kaneche Bay where servicemen and -women were eating Christmas dinner in Kailua Thursday evening.

“Just wanted to say hi, hey guys,” Obama said as he walked into the Anderson dining hall which was decked out in Christmas decorations.

The diners represented seven military units -- Marine and Navy -- some of whom were joined by their families for Christmas dinner.

As Obama entered the room, it was absent of the regular fanfare of cheering and clapping. The diners were polite, staying seated at their respective tables and waited for the president-elect to come to them to stand up.

There's a little phrase in the Army, that probably exists in the other services as well: If you have to, respect the rank. Meaning, you can find someone in your leadership chain completely repugnant, but you still have to show that person the respect due their rank.

Which is what these troops did.

We're not stupid, despite what the deranged Leftists think. We cannot and do not respect someone who has been calling our victory a failure. We cannot and do not respect someone who has slandered the troops to gain the votes of the Far Left. We cannot and do not respect someone who only cares about us when he needs a photo op.

It's going to be a long four years for us in uniform.

Bambi will be my BITCH!

Oh yeah! Uh huh! Got a muzzle loader! It's my birthday!

OK, well, maybe it's not my birthday. But still!

It's too late to go out hunting again; the season was over on the 10th of December. But that gives me time to practice, sight it in and get familiar with it. It came with the scope brand new in the box, never been fired. Unfortunately, using a scope is illegal during muzzle-loader season. But the factory put the iron sights in the case with it, so all I have to do is take the scope off, put the rear sight on, and I'm good to go.

It's a Wolf break-action in .50 caliber. It uses the 209 primers. I've got some miniballs to practice at the range with, but I'll be getting the primo bullets for actual hunting.

Yet another gun for the cabinet. And another season in which to kill Bambi.

As an aside, I had dinner tonight with the gentleman who loaned me that other, non-working muzzle loader. He actually feels quite bad about the whole situation. But the one thing that I took away from it, other than to never use that particular gun again, is that it wasn't me. That is, I was not the reason I didn't get a deer. I had been feeling pretty crappy by that last day. I mean, I hadn't seen a frikkin' thing other than a squirrel or two. Was I doing something wrong? Did I smell wrong? Was I hunting in the wrong places? Hunters, you know how it is - you don't see anything, you get to wondering just what the hell is going on.

Well, it wasn't anything I was doing. Harvest numbers all over the state were down. Lots of reasons for it - weather, date of the hunting seasons, an overly-high estimate of the deer population. But I had a deer so close I could have thrown the gun at it and hit it. So I can hunt. And now I have a gun I can hunt with for another two weeks after the regular season. Oh hell yeah. I'm taking an entire week off for hunting season next year. I'm getting that white-tailed varmint. I WILL HAVE MY VENISON!

THIS! IS! WISCONSIN!

If this rumour is true....

Would anyone really be shocked? Show of hands? Anyone? Anyone?

Didn't think so.

Goin' Shopping

Some of you might remember that little problem I had during hunting season because of a borrowed muzzle-loader. I plan on solving THAT little problem today. There's a Cabela's about two hour's drive from here. I'll make it an all day event. Drive down, take pictures (the route follows the Wisconsin border, which is the Mississippi River), stop and have lunch with the Ragin' Mrs. at some little restaurant, and get my muzzle loader.

It might just be one hell of a day.

How was your Christmas?

Christmas Eve

There's a whole lot of political bullshit out there that I could get upset about if I wanted to.

There's a whole lot I can bitch and moan about if I wanted to.

But the bottom line is this - no matter what's going on, I've got a damned good life. I've got a great woman who married me. I'm still happy to wake up and put my uniform on every day.

It's Christmas.

You folks take care. I'll see you whenever you get back online.

Merry Christmas

Not Happy Holidays, Merry X-mas or anti-Christmas Kwanzaa...

"And there were in the same country shepherds, abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them! And they were sore afraid ... And the angel said unto them, "Fear not! For, behold, I bring you tidings o great joy, which shall be to all my people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ, the Lord."

"And this shall be a sign unto you: Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger." And suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the Heavenly Host praising God, and saying, "Glory to God in the Highest, and on Earth peace, and good will toward men."

"That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown."

I hope you all find a fraction of the joy I am blessed with this day. For if you do then you will truly know happiness.

Adding to the post below

When I was transitioning to my new position, I was working with a Sergeant from Ohio. He had been on his way to Iraq with his unit a couple years ago, when his plane stopped for a scheduled re-fueling in Maine. The plane was going to be on the tarmac for about two hours while it picked up fuel and changed crew.

Turns out President Bush was in Maine at the same time, and when he found out that a plane-load of troops was going to be sitting around for a couple of hours, he decided to stop in and talk to 'em. So he did. Just walked on the plane and started talking to a bunch of Soldiers about their mission, their lives back home, what they thought about going over, what their fears and hopes were.

There was no press. There was no media coverage. There was just a man going to talk to men and women who were serving their country. And if the Sergeant I was working with had not have told me about it, I would have never known it happened.

Obama can't even visit wounded troops in Germany unless he turns it into a media circus.

To Obama, and with all Democrat American Communist Party members, the troops are there to be used for political gain, and nothing more. Judging from remarks made by John F'n Kerry, Charlie "Taxes? What taxes?" Rangel, and a host of other parasites in donkey suits, the Left doesn't even think that the military qualifies as human. Unless they can use us for their own personal gain, they don't want to deal with us at all.

Obama would not visit wounded troops in Germany unless he got a good media story out of it.

President Bush walked on to a plane of Soldiers and talked with them for two hours, and nobody outside of that plane knew about it unless the Soldiers told them. No press, no national media.

I think that speaks all that needs to be said on that score.

The untold story

Seen in quite a few places, about President Bush and Vice President Cheney.

Mr. Bush, for instance, has sent personal letters to the families of every one of the more than 4,000 troops who have died in the two wars, an enormous personal effort that consumed hours of his time and escaped public notice. The task, along with meeting family members of troops killed in action, has been so wrenching - balancing the anger, grief and pride of families coping with the loss symbolized by a flag-draped coffin - that the president often leaned on his wife, Laura, for emotional support.

"I lean on the Almighty and Laura," Mr. Bush said in the interview. "She has been very reassuring, very calming."

(.....)

Mr. Cheney similarly has hosted numerous events, even sneaked away from the White House or his Naval Observatory home to meet troops at hospitals or elsewhere without a hint to the news media.

For instance, Mr. Cheney flew to North Carolina late last month and met with 500 special-operations soldiers for three hours on a Saturday night at a golf resort. The event was so secretive that the local newspaper didn't even learn about it until three days after it happened.

Mr. Cheney and his wife, Lynne, also have hosted more than a half-dozen barbecues at their Naval Observatory home for wounded troops recovering at Bethesda Naval Hospital and Walter Reed and their spouses and children.

There's four pages to that story. Read each and every one of them. I hate Bush's domestic policy. I think that on the domestic front, President Bush is no different than any Democrat American Communist Party member chosen at random from Congress.

But when it comes to the military..........

There's President Bush, who obviously cares about the troops, who shares their pain, who understands exactly who and what is at stake, and then there's the Democrats, the troop-hating, military despising, Soldier insulting, Marine-spitting-on, Airman dismissing, Sailor-cussing Leftoids who haven't done or said a DAMN thing positive to the troops in decades. The worthless, drug-addled ex-hippies who never grew up, who remember spitting on the troops after Viet Nam, and who want to do it again.

Go read. While I wasn't a big McCain supporter, read that story and ask yourself if you could ever in your wildest dreams see that corrupt fucking commie piece of shit Obama doing what President Bush has done.

"Stop linking Islam to Terrorism!"

As Mike says, You First, assholes! Maybe when muslims stop blowing shit up all over the world, hmmmmm?

Quiz Time

Just for Gits and Shiggles.

My Conservative Identity:

You are an Anti-government Gunslinger, also known as a libertarian conservative. You believe in smaller government, states’ rights, gun rights, and that, as Reagan once said, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’”

Yep. Sounds about right.

From Frankie C

Reader Frankie C sent me this link in an email in an attempt to get my blood pressure up.

Banks that are getting taxpayer bailouts awarded their top executives nearly $1.6 billion in salaries, bonuses, and other benefits last year, an Associated Press analysis reveals.

The rewards came even at banks where poor results last year foretold the economic crisis that sent them to Washington for a government rescue. Some trimmed their executive compensation due to lagging bank performance, but still forked over multimillion-dollar executive pay packages.

Now, before I start ranting and raving, I have a serious question to ask - how much of the bank failure was caused by the Government?

Think about the mortgage crash-n-burn. We can all blame the banks, or the mortgage companies, but the fact is that it was CONGRESS who forced companies to make loans to people who should have never gotten a loan in a million years. All in the name of Diversity (ALL HAIL DIVERSITY!). That was the trigger for the problems that we're having right now. As usual, when the government gets involved, things get worse. As the mortgage crisis flamed out of control, banks were left holding mortgages that were essentially worthless.

When you go from having assets, to having no assets, that's gotta hit a bank pretty darn hard.

Now, was there some stupid financial shenannigans going on? Most certainly. But by who? Who exactly needs to be keelhauled, and who should be congratulated for their damage control?

The AP article doesn't say.

I don't trust the AP in the best of times, and these ain't the best of times. They have their agenda, and they push it at every opportunity. Remember folks, the Media is not your friend. They are the enemy. So the fact that the AP is hyperventilating over the bank CEO's salaries means nothing to me.

And I must point out again that the very same Congress who caused the Mortgage burnout, the very same Congress who has driven our economy into the dirt, the very same Congress who has killed thousands of jobs in this country.... just gave themselves a pay raise.

Which the AP is fine and dandy with. So that ought to tell you exactly what they're thinking. So while I'm upset at some greedy bastards, I can't really get angry until I know WHO screwed up, and who did their level best to save their companies.

Rather Busy again today

Going to shovel my walk, go to church, then help a buddy move some crap around.

If I'm lucky, I'll get to watch a football game somewhere in there.

See you tomorrow.

Yep, that sounds about right.

Mark Alger has a link up to The Doctor Is In, who takes on the case of assisted suicide, and "the Right to Die". And I just have to link to it, because this paragraph right here boils down so many of the "rights" being pushed by the Leftists into something comprehendable.

Many of the “rights” which are being promulgated and promoted by today’s secular culture are in reality straw men, fine-sounding proxies for demands and desires far less salutary than they sound. Thus, gay marriage is not about gays getting married (hence the lack of enthusiasm among gay rights advocates for civil unions which provide all the legal benefits of marriage), but is instead an effort to destroy traditional heterosexual marriage as normative in culture, thereby removing not merely legal but cultural restraints on all forms of sexual and relational deviancy. The high standard — heterosexual marriage, with its enormous advantages in the raising of children and establishment of societal self-restraint, morality, and relational stability — must be brought down to the lowest common denominator of any two (or more) people getting “married” — with the sole purpose of muting societal condemnation for self-gratifying, dysfunctional and heterodox partnerships. Unrestricted abortion, a.k.a. “freedom of choice”, is about the uncompromising (albeit delusional) demand for unconstrained sexual license without consequences — especially for women, but also for their sperm donors who want no responsibility for their casual hookups: dispose of the unplanned pregnancy, move on to your next “partner”, and you have achieved the perfect “zipless fuck.”

Likewise, physician-assisted suicide is not at all about “death with dignity”, but rather about actively enlisting the culture in support of radical individual autonomy. Not only must we exert full control over the time and manner of our death — which we have always been able to do, by simply killing ourselves — but we demand that society support, honor, and praise this decision, without the faintest whiff of criticism or condemnation. It is not sufficient that we be able to kill ourselves. Rather, it is necessary that we actively kill those societal sensibilities and strictures which condemn such a choice as morally misguided and potentially destructive to our human dignity and our social fabric.

Every single "right" promulgated by the Left can't be found in the US Constitution. Instead, these "rights" come from the Leftist's desire to enforce his way of life onto other people. They want to do x, y, or z, so dammit, they'll claim it's a right and force everyone to let them to it!

By all means, go read the whole thing.

After you're done, go raed Francis Porretto's post on why the Left is pushing for Embryonic Stem Cell research even though every major breakthrough in that field has come from Adult Stem Cells, not Embryonic.

And by the way

Congress just gave itself a raise. That's right, the group of idiots, thieves, corrupt canker-sores, and greedy communists have just upped their pay. After destroying our economy, causing thousands of people to lose their jobs, Congress gave themselves more money. After leading what has to be the most unethical Congress ever, they're getting paid more to be that corrupt.

Can we lynch them now?

Velociman on the Big Three

And he rips Salon to shreds, which is a bonus.

I noticed, by the by, that Mr. Lind never states the blindingly obvious: Detroit isn't bankrupt because of a few automobile plants in the South. They are insolvent because their business model is as putrid as Gacy's date in a crawlspace. The combination of managerial greed, union greed, and insufferable government mandates combined to slay an industry that has been essentially producing unwanted junk for 35 years anyway. These Yankee protectionists need to take the buggy whips out of their collective asses and throw them upon the bonfire of history. It's not broke, idiots: it's fucking dead. And unless the next CEO of General Motors is Jesus H.M.S. Christ it will stay dead. Unless the Corkers of the Senate have their way, and the industry is reborn with a foundation of economic viability, shareholder oversight, and viable product offerings.

I've said for years that I would buy a Ford Truck, because those actually have a history of, well, working. But I wouldn't touch any domestic cars if my life depended on it. And I'm not just talking about my ass - I've owned and operated both the so-called "foreign" and domestic cars, and damn near each and every time the Japanese car has out-performed and out-lasted the domestic. My Nissan truck, which has gone through several different kinds of hell that no automobile should ever be asked to do, is still running with over 220,000 miles on it. It starts up every single morning.

The last two rental cars I had were both Chevy's, and in both cases I had to get the Rental Car company to come pick them up, because they were not working. New cars. Non-functioning new cars.

How much you want to bet that if I'd gotten a Nissan or Toyota, that bugger would have worked?

Tossing money at the Big Three isn't going to do jack shit other than push that problem down the road for a couple of months. Ford, Chrysler and GM are going to collapse unless they fundamentally change the way they operate. Since they're not going to do that, they will go bankrupt.

Whew

Today is the first free day I've had in about two and a half weeks. I can actually do some Christmas shopping, and work on my truck.

I think I might have actually gotten enough sleep.

Why aren't people rioting in the streets?

That's the question asked by Roger Kimball.

When is Governor Paterson up for re-election? And what about the New York State legislators, the men and women who connive in this orgy of fiscal irresponsibility, when are they up for re-election–or, rather, when can the people get together and throw the bums out?

Throw the bums out? Yeah, right. It's the people of New Fucking York who elected the bums in there in the first place. And being the good little indoctrinated slaves that they are, they will continue to elect their masters no matter how badly their masters whip them and beat them.

They are subjects, not citizens. They won't be throwing anybody out.

Sigh...

Yeah. Still Busy.

What can I say? Life is like that sometimes. When my posts are one or two lines, you know I'm up to my ass in work.

Kathy Shaidle needs a little help

Compiling the biggest Liberal Lies of 2008.

Lord knows there's a shit-ton to choose from.

Found at KisP, who found it at Five Feet of Fury, who actually IS Kathy Shaidle. Round Robin, I guess.

HORRY CLAP!

So everyone bitched at the Auto Execs flying their jets into Washington D.C. and begging for money. Rightly bitched at them, as far as I'm concerned.

But the United Auto Workers union has their OWN FUCKING GOLF COURSE???????

Worthless, greedy, corrupt, fucking PARASITES! FUCK! THAT! SHIT!

NOT ONE DAMNED DIME!

Media whores

The New York Slimes pulls it's lips away from Obama's cock long enough to give Blago a handjob. There's no action so low, so disgusting that the MSM won't excuse it so long as it benefits the Democrat American Communist Party.

Pravda on the Hudson. They're nothing more than whores and propaganda artists. They ceased to be "reporters" a long, long time ago.

They are the enemy.

I'm not the only one

Who thinks Colin Powell needs to STFU. We listened to Colin Powell, and RINOs like Colin Powell. Guess what we got? John Fucking McCain.

How did that turn out again?

Infighting

Kevin Baker put up a post that has brought out the worst of the pro-gun camp. It got so bad that one person was banned.

The "Three Percenters" referenced by Mr. Baker haven't exactly made a good showing. One thing that really chaps my hide is how many of them have insulted Kim du Toit, but I'll get to that in a moment.

When Patrick Henry made his "Give me liberty, or give me death" speech, he was already known as a firebrand. In fact, he was known to be outspoken well before the Revolutionary War. Consider him to be the historical equivalent to the modern-day Three Percenters, those gunnies who are just as outspoken about their freedoms as Patrick Henry was in his day.

Patrick Henry set a spark to tinder, to use a metaphorical phrase. He was the blazing torch thrust into a pile of hay. But in order to have that hay set alight, someone had to pile it up first.

In order for spark to be set to tinder, someone has to gather the tinder and pile it together for it to burn.

Here's where the Three Percenters seem to miss their mark. The blogger who got banned, one Billy Beck, was vitriolic to the extreme, and not just to the anti-freedom, pro-Obama crowd. He was vitriolic to the people who are on his side, but who disagreed about the rubrics of the argument. It's like two people arguing about how to scramble eggs - one person wants to use a fork, one wants to use a whisk, and the person who advocates for using the fork starts screaming at the person who wants to use the whisk. At some point, the person who wants to use the whisk is going to say "You know what? Fuck it. I'll pass on the eggs." and walk away.

You cannot alienate your allies, unless you want to stand all by your lonesome when the enemy starts charging.

But perhaps the most important part is this: as bad as it is to alienate your allies, it's just as bad if not worse to alienate the people who you want to win to your side. Which is why the vitriol against Kim du Toit pisses me off quite a bit.

So the Three Percenters are pro-gun, pro-freedom, fine, yes, we got it. They are the firebrands, ready to set the tinder on fire. Gotcha, no problem with that. But just who the hell do they think is setting that tinder up?

Kim du Toit is responsible for getting thousands of people into shooting, some after a long absence, but most for the very first time. His essays have been used to convince recalcitrant spouses and significant others to try shooting, or to overcome the resistance to buying a gun. And the people that he influenced have in turn gone on to influence others, bringing even more people into the shooting camp. That's thousands of people who before didn't give a damn about guns, or were opposed to personal gun ownership, who have now been brought over to the pro-gun, pro-freedom side.

I don't know how many people Billy Beck has brought over to the pro-freedom side of the argument. But based on his internet writing style, I'd have to say "Not many". I could be wrong. He could be as sweet as a lamb in person. But people who savage their possible allies online probably don't change their attitude much offline. Beck would probably say some not-so-nice things to me just for challenging him on his attitude. Fine. THAT'S MY WHOLE POINT. Let's say that the Three Percenter's worst nightmare comes true, and the military is marching around trying to take people's guns. Just who the hell does he want knocking at his door? Some guy who's looking at him as the enemy, or someone like me? Because I've thought this over quite a bit given who the Media just elected as President. What happens if I get the order to confiscate guns?

I'm looking at two possibilities - the first is to tell my commander that the order is unconstitutional. But that would get me relieved rather quickly, and possibly tossed in Ft. Leavenworth, where I can't do a damn bit of good to anyone.

The second, which is what I'm leaning towards, is to walk into a house and not see a damn thing, even if they have an entire arsenal laid out on the livingroom floor. "Guns? No guns here, Sir. Next!" And make sure that my troops underneath me do the same damn thing. Can one man make a difference? Yes, especially if he has a platoon following his lead.

I'm the guy Billy Beck wants on his side, not arguing with him. I'm his ally, not his enemy. But if he's going to prosecute me for not agreeing with him on every little detail, then chances are he's not going to want me standing side by side with him either.

More to the point, if I'm going to be outcast by the Three Percenter crowd for not going along with every little damn thing they demand, then just what's going to happen to the people who can be swayed to our side but aren't there yet? Sometimes to win an argument, you need gentle nudges to get the other side to see what you're saying.

Now I'm not talking about the hard-core Lefties. As far as I'm concerned, they're a lost cause. We might be able to convert one or two here or there, but the Left as a whole has been indoctrinated to the point that they can no longer recognize what is up and what is down, and will in fact spend their entire day trying to tell you that up is in fact down, black is in fact white, and there is no absolute truth. I don't care about converting them, I care about shoving them aside and trying to make sure they can't do any more damage to my country. But there is still a huge swath in the middle who hasn't made up their minds yet. Hell, there's plenty of those folks who haven't even seen the argument from our side yet. It's not that they're anti-freedom, it's that we haven't had a chance to convince them. Lumping them in with the Left and lambasting them is NOT the way to win them to our side!

I know that someone who's nom de cyber is "Ragin' Dave" is probably the last guy you would expect to argue for moderation. Look, there's a need for H.E. rounds in this war. But you had damn well make sure those rounds aren't aimed at your own troops, otherwise you won't have anyone to fight with you against the enemy. You do not shoot at the folks who are recruiting people to your side. And to force this already-tortured analogy even further, you do NOT shoot at the people in the middle who are holding rifles and wondering which side to shoot at.

We needed Patrick Henry. We also needed Thomas Jefferson, and Samuel Adams. We need the firebrands, and we need the less abrasive recruiters. We need those people who are a driving force, but we also need those people who can convince the fence-sitters to hop down on our side.

We cannot win against the anti-freedom forces in ones and twos. And we need a hell of a lot more than three percent of the population if it comes to a shooting war. If it comes down to flying bullets, I'm going to have to choose not just where to make my stand, but who to make it with. Are my cohorts the people who say "Sure, we quibble on the details, but we're together on the big items", or the people who say "AGREE WITH EVERYTHING I SAY OR GO FUCK OFF AND DIE!".

I know where I'll make my stand. The question that remains is who I'll make my stand with. I'm hoping those three percent will break out of their shell and see that we're on their side.

Obama the Perennial Liar

When the Blagojevich flop first came out, the Obama camp was quick to claim "Oh no, we haven't met with Blago in a long time!"

Except some guy named Axelrod first stated that the Obama camp had been in contact with Blago. The Obama camp's response? "Alxelrod mis-spoke". To which the sane people in this country laughed. Yeah right. "Mis-spoke". Bite me if you expect me to believe that bullshit. I'm not some Media Whore with my lips wrapped around the Liberal Lord and Messiah's cock. I don't drink Kool-Aide.

So guess what we have here? Why, could it be Rahm Emanuel, the man that Obama picked to be his Chief of Staff, ON TAPE TALKING TO BLAGOJEVICH ABOUT OBAMA'S SENATE SEAT REPLACESMENTS?

Why yes, yes it is. And I have to ask the same question that the Real King of France is asking:

Those wiretaps prove that Rahm Emmanuel presented Gov. Blagojevich with names of four people Obama would accept to fill his Senate seat. The question now becomes, why did Obama lie about it, when he could easily have said, "yes, of course I gave my recommendations to the Gov."? Is he, like the Clintons. a pathological liar? Or is he, like the Clintons, hiding something more? He's not even sworn in yet, but Obama is, if anything, running ahead of the Clinton Scandal timeline. Kenneth Starr, in the person of Patrick Fitzgerald, already has a bead on him.
