Your government at "work"

Re-instating a woman who essentially embezzled $130k or so....

A Department of Veterans Affairs official who was demoted after allegedly stealing thousands of taxpayer dollars from the agency was quietly reinstated to her position earlier this week. 

Kimberly Graves, former head of a VA regional office in Minnesota, appeared before the Merit Systems Protection Board Wednesday to appeal the VA's decision to strip her of her title in the wake of a scathing inspector general report. That report found Graves had pressured a colleague to leave his job so she could manipulate an employee relocation program and pocket nearly $130,000.

Anybody want to hazard a guess as to what would happen to me if I jacked $130k through less than savory means?

Yeah.  I'd be in Club Fed at Fort Leavenworth, contemplating my upcoming dishonorable discharge and forfeiture of all pay and benefits.  But Kimberly Graves and her pal Diana Rubens, who between them pocketed over $400k?

Do you know how many Soldiers we could have with $400k?  Or hell, just saving the damn money, since we're trillions and trillions and trillions of dollars in debt?

But noooooooooo, these two butch-looking harridans jack the government for almost half a million dollars, and they don't even lose their jobs.

This country is toast.  We can't even fire these people.  They will still be there.  They will still be drawing a government paycheck.  Fuck them.  Fuck the whole lot of them, let them die screaming, and spend eternity choking on the barbed cock of Satan.

Hangin' with friends

"President Obama's f**king wrong!"

Yeah, I don't think too many people in Indiana like the Stuttering Clusterfuck of Miserable Failure.



I know you'll never be able to get the people who hate the 2nd Amendment to watch this, but you should, just so that you can laugh in the face of the next person who blubbers about the "gunshow loophole".

Back in my old stomping grounds

Might be light posting for a bit.  Meeting old friends.  Drinking much scotch.  Smoking many cigars. Repeat.

Ragin' Dave's Quote of the Day, Maybe YOU Won't Edition

From According to Hoyt (Don't know if Sarah wrote it or one of her people who occasionally co-blog)

In some blog, long ago, in the comments section, someone said that if the left got what it wanted, it would backfire so badly we’d be hunting them with dogs and beating them to death with their “no blood for oil” signs.  I think it’s going to be worse than that.  I think it’s going to be so bad that the rest of us are not even going to enjoy it.  Even if they brought this on themselves, by creating an enemy they thought they’re prefer to confront, an enemy that didn’t exist outside their lies.

Yes, some people won't enjoy it.  Some people will.  Those are the people who you need to keep an eye on, and make sure they're on YOUR side.

For every time the media wants to shove a muslim in our faces

to say "But what do you say to reassure us?  We're peaceful!"

The Peaceful Majority is irrelevant.

Time to re-post this.

Debate or slap-fight?

The moderators are going after the candidates.  The candidates are going after the candidates.  Kasich  (is that how it's spelled? I don't care enough to check) has floppy hands, who had a father that was a milkman, or maybe a mailman.

Rubio trying to talk tough about immigration after his Gang of 8 bullshit is like the Charlie Brown teacher going "Waah wah, waawaa WAAAH wah!"

What's Danish for "Wake the f**k UP!"

Because if this were happening in my town, either the perps or the cops who covered it up would go missing.

Denmark recorded an average of 395 rape cases every year up to 2014. But an investigation by the Ministry of Justice has revealed the actual number to be closer to 1,100 annually, Metroxpress reported on Thursday.

The police in Cologne covered up the number of sexual assaults that happened on New Year's Eve.  The police in Sweden covered up sexual assaults and rape.  And Denmark is covering up rapes.

And why?  To cower and cringe before a murdering, terrorist-filled, pedophile prophet worshipping religion.

Phaw.  Maybe some cultures need to die out.  They certainly seem more than willing to commit suicide.

Listening to talk radio on the road

And Trump is staying away from the Fox News debate.

Good.  Honestly.  I don't know if it'll help him or hurt him.  But I won't have to listen to vague statements like "I know good people, let me tell you, and my guys are gonna be the best, they're gonna be wonderful...."

I'm happy Trump is running.  He's moved entire discussions to the right, away from what the Democrats wanted to talk about.  But I don't know if I could stand to listen to him on the news for four years.

Guess what road we'll be on for a day or two?

Wheeeeeee!

Wandering

By the time you see this I'll probably be somewhere in the Grand Canyon taking a look around.  Pictures, even!

Man, that's a big hole, innit?

Gloria in Excelsis Deo

Appropriate for this Sunday, I think.  Although it's not a mass in honor of the Blessed Virgin, it's still one of the most beautiful Glorias I can remember.

FREEEEDOOOOOOOOOM!

No more Los Angeles!  No more Los Angeles!  Buh-bye, you craphole!  WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO!

Buh-bye

Ladies and Gents, after today I will never set foot in the disgusting, diseased, third-world shit-hole of Los Angeles ever.  Again.  Period.



YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Light Posting Warning

Gonna be content free for a few days.  Life will go on.  Check out the sidebar!

So now Glenn Frey is gone as well

I grew up listening to the Eagles.  But in all reality, their careers were over by the time I entered high school, if not long before.  Out of all the folks who have passed lately I think I'll miss Alan Rickman the most, because he was a delight to watch in any role.

However, I don't know if I'm really broken up about it.  I see lots of people all upset over Bowie, and Rickman, and the other folks who have died lately, while my reaction has been one more of "Oh damn, that sucks."

I think it's because A) as a Catholic, I don't believe that death is the end.  It's just a transition.

And B)  People die.  Careers die, and I think Glenn Frey's career died long before he did.  That doesn't mean I don't like his music, or that he didn't have talent; he had tons of talent, and I've spent hours singing along to a lot of his songs.  But there's new music coming out every day.  I'll be quoting Alan Rickman until the day I die (....and CALL OFF CHRISTMAS!") but there are other actors still making a name for themselves who I'll enjoy next year.

Life is a cycle.  The world keeps turning.  Nothing we can do will stop that.

Thank God

Reality prevails.

The U.S. Air Force has decided to indefinitely postpone the retirement of the legendary A-10 Thunderbolt II ground attack plane. The venerable Warthog's increased role in the air campaign against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria was the Pentagon's main reason for the postponement.

There is no other aircraft in the US inventory that can do what the A-10 does, period.  And what it does is save the ass of the US military man on the ground, time and time again, getting in low and slow before pounding the ever-loving shit out of the bad guys.

I posted a video on the A-10 back in 2008.  Seems like a good time to link to it.  I tried to repost the vid here, but that didn't work too well for me, although the video works in the original post.

"You see that blinking light in the sky?  That is the HAND OF GOD!"

Seahawks are out

You can't give up 31 points in the first half, folks.  Maybe try whatever you were doing in the second half, but in the first half?

Yeah.  Poop.  Now it's six months of no football..

The Day by Day...

I recognize a certain someone when Jan is displayed....

Yes, there is a trade war

And it's not just China doing it.  China just happens to be the most effective at it.

China is refusing to trade with Boeing if the company does not move.  Why? It’s not about putting Chinese people to work, it’s about China importing their research and development, Boeing’s production secrets, into their country so they can learn, steal and begin to manufacture their own airliners. 

This is just how China works.  In time, Comac, a state-owned, Shanghai-based aerospace company will then use the production secrets they have stolen, produce their own airliners, kick out Boeing, undercut the market, and sell cheaper manufactured airplanes to the global economy. 

Boeing, the great American company that Jeb Bush thinks they are, becomes yet another notch on the Asian market belt. 

All of those Boeing workers, those high-wage industrial skill jobs that support the American middle class, yeah – those jobs lost.   And the cycle continues.

Lemme tell you about being able to buy the movie 300 on a bootleg DVD prior to it being released in theaters.  Of course, this was in Puerto Rico, and the DVD was from the Dominican Republic.....

Got me a going away present

One of these.

Forget the gingerbread artwork on the top.  This thing has some amazing sound to it, especially considering that the plug-ins typically reduce the sound coming out of the instrument because it dampens the vibration in the wood.  But I picked this up at the shop, strummed it a few times, and was flat-out amazed at how good it sounded.

So it came home with me.

Now I just need an amp.  I'll be picking one of those up somewhere in Virginia.

Ted Cruz "apologizes"

Love it.

“I apologize to the hard working men and women of the state of  New York who’ve been denied jobs because Gov. Cuomo won’t allow fracking,” Cruz continued. “I apologize to all the pro-life and pro-marriage and pro-Second Amendment New Yorkers who were told by Gov. Cuomo that they have no place in New York because that’s not who New Yorkers are. I apologize to all of the small businesses who’ve been driven out of New York City by crushing taxes and regulations.

I wish I had been there to see that in person.

At least I don't have a car payment

Getting new shocks and struts put on the Ragin' Car.  Given the abuse that poor thing has dealt with over it's driving life, let's just say that I'm putting a pretty penny into the undercarriage.

But, that's better to me than having a car payment.  I figure that what I'm spending on repairs would be two or three months of car payments, which leaves the other nine or ten months worth of car payments in my bank account, as it were.

Advantage, my bank account.

Alan Rickman is dead too?

Dang it!

I'll always remember him as the sole reason that "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" was watchable.

The actual state of the Union

In nine charts.

Pay attention to the Labor Force Participation Rate and the Worker's Share of the Economy.

Socialism.  It's a bitch, folks.

Jogged by a post at Tam's

I've never fired a Taurus Judge.  I'm not a recoil wussy, but I just don't think I could keep the gun on target firing a 410 shotgun shell out of a revolver.  Not without an 8" barrel, anyways.  To me, the gun  just screams "show piece".  As in you can pull it out to say "Hey, look at this!" but you never actually use it very often.

Any of you out there ever fired one?  If so, is it a novelty sort of thing, or is this a gun that's actually worth buying?

This is for my wife

Who puts up with more shit than any woman has a right to deal with, and still keeps me upright and moving forward.

A rhetorical question

Do you think for one minute that this would have happened during GWB's presidency?

Iranian military forces seized two U.S. Navy boats Tuesday and are holding them in custody on Iran’s Farsi Island in the middle of the Persian Gulf, senior U.S. officials told NBC News.

We all know the answer - there's no way in hell Iran would have done this under Bush.  Hell, they wouldn't have done it under GHWB.

But everybody knows that Obama is a worthless, incompetent, spineless, gutless fucking pussy who has turned America into the laughingstock of the world stage.  And everybody knows that Obama won't do a damn thing about it, because that would take courage, conviction, and balls - three things Obama completely lacks.

Hey, who's watching the State Of The Union address tonight?

Not me.  I refuse to listen to that stuttering clusterfuck of failure.  I won't do it.  I'll read the transcript tomorrow, just to confirm what we already know; that delusional fucking waste of oxygen is nothing but a narcissistic buffoon completely detached from reality.

Lots going on

And I'm busy as all get out.  Posting is going to be light for a couple of days, m'kay?

David Bowie is dead?

Well, poop!

Now I have to watch Labyrinth again.

Peak Laziness

Saw this while coming back from grocery shopping.  Damn near lost my mind.

This is just one example of why I cannot wait to leave this place.  It's full of people who are too stupid and lazy to push the damn shopping cart an extra six feet into the cart corral.

This attitude carries over into every other aspect of their lives.  Being that fucking lazy and worthless is not the problem; it is a symptom of the problem, and the problem is that I am surrounded by selfish, lazy, stupid fucking assholes on a constant basis.

Put the cart.  Into the corral.  Six.  Fucking.  Feet.  But apparently that's too much effort for the slack-jawed, drooling, mouth breathing fuckwits who live in the San Fernando Valley.  Just like putting their plastic bags into the trash was too much effort, which caused the LA river to be festooned with trees covered in plastic bags that were just tossed into the road.  Which is why LA county banned plastic bags, by the way.  Just like throwing your trash in a TRASH CAN takes too much effort, which is why I pick up litter from the sidewalk next to my house every week.

Just like giving a fuck about your fellow man takes too much effort for these shitheads, which is why every time I turn around I'm confronted by yet another greedy, selfish asshole who can't bother to do any of the basic things that make civilization function smoothly, such as use a turn signal, share the sidewalk, stop at red lights, pick up after their dog, or any other of the myriad acts of courtesy that allow people to live in close quarters.

Soon, soon, soon I will be out of this shithole.  And then, quite frankly, the entire city of Los Angeles can sink in to the ocean and drown for all I care.

Busy today

So perhaps a selection from the sidebar over on the right?  There's a new blog in the blogrolls:  Musings Over A Pint.  He's a shooter, a beer enthusiast, and has one hell of a first name.  The name of Kings, even.

There are times

That I get a little resentful over the fact that the Catholic Church I grew up in was so divorced from what it used to be.  Reading things like this makes me wonder "Where was this when I was growing up?  Why couldn't things have been explained like this when I was a kid?"

The answer, of course, is that Fulton Sheen came from the Tridentine Rite, and therefore was considered not required by the new, "modern" Mass, and was discarded as being "old-fashioned".

What a crock.

Rage Spiral

Got into an argument with a supposed Catholic on Twitter.

I say supposed because this woman supported every Leftist meme you can think of, including abortion.  Anyone who claims to be Catholic or pro-abortion is lying about one side or the other.  You cannot be both Catholic, meaning you follow the Catechism of the Church, and pro-abortion.  They contradict each other.  They are mutually exclusive.

I have no doubt that in the Novus Ordo Catholic Church, there are many, many people who believe they can hold both views.  They are wrong, and they have never honestly looked at Church doctrine, or what they claim to profess.

In any case, I pointed out to this woman that you can be one or the other, but you cannot be both.  The result was something that I can only call a rage spiral, especially as she tried to hit me with SJW rhetoric, and I didn't back down.  I kept pointing out that claiming to be both Catholic and pro-abortion makes you a hypocrite for either one side or the other.

At that point, the woman called her friends into her little rage spiral, and they threw one massive, gigantic temper tantrum online.  However, you can look up a person's bio on Twitter, and I noticed one thing.

Not one single friend of hers joining in her rage spiral against me claimed to be Catholic.  I saw atheist, agnostic, anti-theists and one Jew.  But not one Catholic.

You surround yourself with people whom you agree with.  This woman apparently finds more agreement with people diametrically opposed to her faith, who encourage her to stray away from her faith and lead her down a path away from everything she claims to profess.

And when someone points it out, they all rage.

It's much like what drug addicts do when one of them tries to get clean.  You won't find much support for sobriety in a shooting gallery.

In any case, this is the last amount of energy I'm going to expend on her.  She's not worth anything more than that.

I have a member of my extended family going to Wheaton

And over Christmas they told us about a professor there who was causing a bit of an issue.  Turns out, Wheaton finally got tired enough to do something about it.  Bully for them!

Wheaton is a Christian university.  It's professors must be Christian themselves, as it's a requirement of their employment.  Walking into class wearing the hijab and claiming that muslims and Christians worship the same god will not fly.  Refusing to communicate with the school's leadership, and instead throwing a public temper-tantrum, will result in negative action against you.

Wheaton will be much better off once they get rid of her.

This is what they do in their own countries

This is what they will do in ours.

A mob men of reportedly North African and Arab origin assaulted women in downtown Cologne on New Year’s Eve, in attacks Mayor Henriette Reker characterized as “monstrous” and “lawlessness.” 

One of the reasons that I'm rather anti-immigration is that I've been to many of the countries that the immigrants are coming from, and I've seen what they do in their own nations.  And I don't want to bring that to my country.  We no longer force people to assimilate to America, we now coddle them along while regurgitating cheap slogans such as "Diversity!"

Well, those muslims just diversified the shit out of Cologne, didn't they?  Do you like your diversity with a side of rape?  Too bad, you're going to get it.  It always amazes me that the very same idiots and brain-dead cunt-knuckles who cry about supposed "rape culture" in the USA are the very same ones who want to import millions of people from a society that actually has a rape culture alive and thriving.

They do it in their country.  They will do it in ours.  It's that simple.

UPDATE:  Here's a bit more on the diversity of Cologne.

One of the first victim's to speak out, an 18-year-old named only as Michelle, described being surrounded by a group of 30 'angry' men who groped her and her friends then stole their belongings as they fled.  

Witnesses and police have described men working in 'coordinated' groups to grope women who were unable to escape, while two women reported they were raped.  

Michelle's shocking testimony comes as the city's own council today admitted its town centre was now a 'no-go area' for women, while it has emerged similar attacks occurred the same night across Hamburg and Stuttgart.  

And while German media and authorities stand accused of covering up previous incidents to avoid stoking tensions, there are fears the upcoming carnival celebrations in Cologne will see a repeat of the brazen attacks.  

The victims' testimonies come as protesters angered by authorities' alleged inaction held demonstrations last night.

What the hell made Germany think that their soil was so magic that they could import these muslims from the Middle East and all of the sudden they would be law-abiding Germans, anyways?

Dear Sporting Goods Salesperson

When the Ragin' Mrs. walks in to your shop and asks about a hard case for a compound bow, and you show her a $300 model, and she says "That's out of my price range", the correct response is "Well, what's your price range?".

Do not continue to show her case after case that we cannot afford, especially when she makes it known the price range she is looking for.

Bottom line - Gander Mountain had a Plano hard case for $40.  Add in $20 for two-day shipping, and we're still $100 below the lowest price case you offered.

Woke up late

Dashed out the door in time to make it to work.  Sorry 'bout the lack of free ice cream.

Got guns?

Get some.  And buy ammo.  Obama ain't just waiting around, he's going to issue some executive order or another, and let's face it - the GOP doesn't have the balls, the spine or the brain to oppose him on it.

They've already proven that in spades.

Call me Josh Turner

I'm well enough to go back to work, unfortunately.  But the cold has moved out of my head and into my chest.  I am a basso profundo for today.  Talking on the phone is going to be joyous.

New Year's Whittle

Natalie Cole, RIP

Dang it.  She was one of my favorites at singing the classics when I was growing up.  I still think her rendition of "Paper Moon" is the best out there.

Your Stupid Phrase of the Day

"Military Welfare State"

Folks, if you, like Jennifer Mittelstadt, think that military benefits are just so gosh darn overwhelming that generous, then I suggest that you go down to your nearest recruiting station and put your name on the dotted line.

The fact that we still have to go out and recruit for people to come into the military shows that we don't exactly have people banging down our doors to join.  Oh, and there's that whole "You might get shot and die because of the incompetent Community Organizer in Chief currently infecting the Oval Office" thing.

As for Jennifer Mittelstadt, I would note that she's an associate professor at a state-funded university, making her living off of tax-payer dollars in a much more comfortable way than your standard military member.

Gah.  This year ain't starting off too well.

Happy New Year, y'all

I'm spending it with NyQuil and a hot shower.  YMMV.

The Consensus that wasn't

But we already knew this, didn't we?

Don’t look now, but maybe a scientific consensus exists concerning global warming after all. Only 36 percent of geoscientists and engineers believe that humans are creating a global warming crisis, according to a survey reported in the peer-reviewed Organization Studies. By contrast, a strong majority of the 1,077 respondents believe that nature is the primary cause of recent global warming and/or that future global warming will not be a very serious problem.

Any time I hear a leftist spouting off about "SCIENCE!" I automatically assume that they're either lying, clueless, or both.

So, you know how you go visit family

And they're all sick, but they didn't tell you that before you showed up?

Yeah.  Blargle.  So much for going for a run tomorrow.  Kinda hard to do that when you can't friggin' breath through your nose, and you spend most of your very early morning hacking and coughing up chunks.

I think this was the first vacation in a long time where I couldn't wait to leave.

Been traveling

Sorry 'bout the lack of posting.

Da Tech Guy on Ted Cruz

....and Cruz's supposed immigration problem.

All the various attacks being launched at Cruz by members of the GOP on his immigration record are all attempts to deflect attention away from Rubio's Gang of 8 Amnesty bullshit.

The GOP establishment hates Ted Cruz with a passion, and they're throwing shit against a wall hoping that some of it will stick.

The Coventry Carol

To remind us that even Jesus as a baby faced death.



Christmas isn't all lights and presents and happiness.  Jesus, Mary and Joseph had to flee the country to keep away from Herod's men.

There's a lesson to be learned here....

My scheduled Christmas post

Many moon ago, when Ragin' Dave was just a wee thing, he attended Midnight Mass at a local church.  It was a Novus Ordo parish, as I didn't even know the Traditional Latin Mass was still going, but it was an old fashioned church nonetheless.  We had a full blown pipe organ; a 1920 Black organ. And we had an organist who knew how to play it.  He was, and still is, one of the true masters of the pipe organ.

Have you ever heard the phrase "Pulling out all the stops"?  That is a reference to a pipe organ.  The organist as "stops" arranged on his organ.  Pull one out, and the sound gets louder.  Push one in, and the sound gets quiet.  Pull them all out, and you have a pipe organ at full volume.

This being Midnight Mass at a semi-traditional church, many of the parishioners were someone older.  And they weren't used to being up past midnight.  Which means that by the time mass ended, many of them were half-asleep.

The last song of the night was "Joy To The World".  And the organist pulled out all the stops.  On a vintage, 1920 pipe organ, in full working order.

You could see a WAVE of sound roll over the congregation.

Woke them up properly for the drive home, it did.



Feel free to sing along.  I sure did.

Veni Veni Emmanuel

Christmas Eve - are you ready?

Ragin' Dave's Quote of the Day, The Power of Language edition

From John C Wright:

The Devil invented lies to turn the power of speech into a weapon of falsehood. And God invented the parable, the poem, the epic, the song, and the sonnet in order to turn the power of lies into fables, myths, types and shadows, to turn fiction into a weapon of truth.

I know more people who were converted by Aslan than by Aquinas. What does that tell you about the power of fiction?

I could tell my co-workers about how Satan operates, how he tries to manipulate people into damning themselves.  But they would yawn and tune me out faster than you could blink.

Put a copy of "The Screwtape Letters" into their hands, however....

Lindsey Graham is out of the race

He finally figured out what we could have told him long before he ever got into the race.

Apparently his "supporters" are switching to Jeb Bush.  So you can expect to see a 0.3% bump is Bush's poll numbers.  That should get Jeb close to 4% in the national polls, if you round up.

Too friggin' cool

Launch a rocket, dispense a few satellites, land rocket again safely.

Every time something like this happens, we get another step closer to the Moon.  Or Mars.

Two links

Because I don't have much time this morning.

Link #1 is Rule #3:  SJWs always project.

Link #2:  The Jews voted for Obama en masse.  This is what they get.  Too bad, so sad, pick a better candidate next time.

Shared this with the wife. Laughed my ass off.

And Ted Cruz is paying to have this ad play during SNL this weekend.



Friggin' awesome.

I hate Christmas Shopping

I truly do.  I suppose I should just buy things throughout the year and put them in hiding so that I never have to actually go shopping for Christmas, but that would imply being able to keep a secret from my wife for several months, and that just ain't gonna happen.  I'm not a good liar at the best of times, and I can't keep anything from the Mrs.

But that's a good thing.  I'm proud of the fact that I'm a horrible liar.  That means I don't lie enough to get any practice at it.

Anyways, I hate Christmas shopping, I truly do.

Guess what I'm doing today?

Obama's Praetorian Guard strike again

The NYT's Lord, King and God must be protected at all times.

If you read The New York Times‘ story on PresidentBarack Obama‘s private meeting with news columnists Friday morning, you may have caught one quote that made the President look particularly bad:

In his meeting with the columnists, Mr. Obama indicated that he did not see enough cable television to fully appreciate the anxiety after the attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, and made clear that he plans to step up his public arguments.

The President of the United States failed to understand that Americans were anxious after two major terrorist attacks in Western cities because he doesn’t watch TV? It’s an admission that opponents are sure to use to make the president seem out-of-touch at best, and unconcerned about a serious threat at worst.

Jammie Wearing Fool has the proof that the NYT is constantly changing it's headlines in order to protect their Communist Christ from any criticism at all.

Took a tumble

whilst on the morning run.  I think I'm mostly OK, but I'm fairly certain my shoulders are going to be sore tonight.  We'll see how I feel tomorrow morning.

So once again

Democrats get everything they want, while the Republican leadership cowers in a corner and throws poo at the Tea Party folks.

Fuck the GOP.  It needs to die.  It needs to die now.

More Here.  Paul Ryan is just a thinner, more sober John Boehner, and it's business as usual for the GOP establishment - grow the government betray the base, make excuses, repeat.  They have repeatedly shown that they cannot be trusted, they cannot learn, the refuse to actually do what their voters want them to do....  it's time for them to go the way of the Whig Party.

The flashing alarm light

But the nation has been asleep at the switch for the past seven years.

Well, at least half the nation, anyway.

I believe that most of that 53 percent of Americans who want to send our young people back to the sandbox labor under the mistaken belief that our military is a well-oiled machine that will make mincemeat out of ISIS. I would warn these people that our military is actually pretty ragged—under-funded, undertrained, and sorely lacking in the morale department. Most importantly, it’s been wussified—forced by politicians and general officers to become the “kindler gentler military” Stephanie Gutmann warned of fifteen years ago in her seminal book by the same name. If you haven’t read it, you need to. 

Slashed military budgets have shrunken our armed forces. The US Army is now the smallest it’s been since before World War II and the US Navy the smallest since before World War I. We’re still asking this skeleton crew to keep the sea lanes open and to hold down the fort in Korea, something we didn’t ask of them in our pre-superpower era.
Morale continues its descent into the abyss. In 2014, the Military Times 

commissioned a survey of 2,300 military members to gage their satisfaction with military life—with bleak results. Only 56 percent of troops agreed with the statement “Overall my quality of life is good,” compared to 91 percent who said the same thing in 2009. Seventy percent of troops agreed with the statement that “quality of life will decline in coming years.” Only 27 percent said that officers in senior leadership positions had the rank-and-file’s best interest at heart—a clear indicator that careerism is having a corrosive effect on the military. As journalist Hope Hodge Seck wrote in the Military Times: “Today’s service members say they feel underpaid, under-equipped and under-appreciated, the survey data show.”

There's more at the link.  Read the whole thing.  The author says this is not the Army they joined in 1999.  It sure as hell isn't the Army I first joined in 1995.  There will come a point where the military, having been transformed into a social justice project, will not be able to win the wars America needs it to win.

But as fewer and fewer people have any experience with the military, they don't care.  Just as long as gays and women can openly serve in the Infantry, right?  That's the REAL important measure.

Listened to the debate last night.

The CNN moderators wanted the candidates to fight.  Trump and Bush obliged them.  Trump vs Cruz not so much.  Very smart.

Bush came off looking pissy, bitchy and entitled.  I wouldn't be shocked if his numbers went down.

Rubio did OK.  Carson did better than his other debates.  Trump and Cruz mostly helped themselves. Everybody else was just eating up time.

All in all, I expect to see the top three remain the top three.  I expect to see Jeb sink even further.

Debate tonight

What are the odds that Trump tries to unload on Cruz?  And gets his ass handed to him?

What are the odds that Cruz just smiles and goes after Hillary?

Can anyone explain to me why half the field is even in the race?  Lindsey Graham is still running?  He's the more feminized John McCain, he's got no chance.  And I'm pretty sure that even he knows it.  So other than being a stalking horse for Bush, what the hell is he there for?

Trump, Cruz and Carson take up over 50% of the support right now.  The GOP is shitting kittens.  And I'm laughing my ass off.

I had seen this before

But forgot where I found it, until I found it somewhere else.



The three truths about Islam that you probably didn't know.

"Religion of Peace" my white hairy ass.

OK, was Rudyard Kipling a prophet?

Or is there any subject he did not write a poem about that cuts straight to the heart of the matter?

The Stranger within my gates,
  He may be evil or good,
But I cannot tell what powers control--
  What reasons sway his mood;
Nor when the Gods of his far-off land
   Shall repossess his blood.

-or scream "ALLAHU ACKBAR!" and blow themselves up in the children's play area of your local mall.

Well, Kipling spent a ton of time in India, which means he was spending time tromping around the area which would become Pakistan.  Yes, Pakistan was once part of the country of India.  Guess why it broke off?

I first learned this song back in the early 90's.

Choir.  Long story.  Bottom line they tried to make us just learn the melody, and we were all scratching our heads because it didn't make sense.  Madrigal.  They is fun, they is.

Because the melody doesn't make sense until you add the harmony.



I honestly thing this is one of the most beautiful carols ever written.  It's also one of the few madrigal style songs still commonly sung in the modern age.

2-9 Army plays 9-2 Navy

Yeah.  I don't think it's gonna be a good game for me today.

You knew this was happening.

You might not have had proof in your hands, but somewhere deep in your gut, you knew this was happening.



Short short version:  Programs designed to find islamic terrorists get shut down by the Obama administration because Obama cares more about his ideology than he does about keeping America safe.

Oh, and DHS says there are "many holes" in this guy's story.  Lemme ask you a question:  Do you believe a guy who's waving a flag and saying "HEY!  I COULD HAVE STOPPED THIS!", or do you believe the Administration who's first act to the San Bernardino shootings was to convene a meeting to find a way to massage PR, and who told the FBI not to call it terrorism?

Larry Kudlow says to seal the borders

He might not be completely awake, but he's partially swallowed the red pill.

I know this is not my usual position. But this is a war. Therefore I have come to believe there should be no immigration or visa waivers until the U.S. adopts a completely new system to stop radical Islamic terrorists from entering the country. A wartime lockdown. And a big change in my thinking. 

ISIS and related Islamic terrorists are already here. More are coming. We must stop them. 

Until FBI director James Comey gives us the green light, I say seal the borders.

Screw FBI directer James Comey - don't unseal the borders until the next FBI director, hopefully appointed by someone sane instead of a Marxist muslim sympathizer.

Oh, and while we're at it - stop sending billions of dollars to muslim countries who preach hatred of the Great Satan.  They already hate us.  Let them hate us for free.

Seal the f&*king border with Mexico.  If that causes Mexico's economy to collapse, so be it.  Propping it up with our dollars only last for so long anyways.  If their economy is reliant on their citizens breaking our laws, then their economy doesn't deserve to exist.

Start working on sealing our border with Canada.  I love Canadians, I really do, but they just elected a loony fucking jackass to be in charge, and they're going to let lots of muslims just come on in.  Hopefully the splody-dopes try to cross into the USA in the middle of winter.  On the border with North Dakota.  And we can lug their corpse-sicles to the ocean and drop them on in once we find them in the spring.  But until then, work on controlling that border as well.

Remember, folks:  Nobody has the right to come here.  And we have absolutely zero obligations to allow them in.  Hammer that point home when your liberal acquaintances sputter about Trump or the Constitution.

Early morning typos

Found a typo in yesterday's post.  Found others in previous posts.  I blame blogging while waking up.  But if I don't blog in the mornings, I probably won't blog at all.

So, I guess what I'm trying to say is:  Sorry 'bout the mis-spellings, but suck it up and deal with them.

Gun Control?

I think there are people out there who can be convinced that gun control is wrong.  For them, take the time to explain just why gun control is such a bad idea.

But let's face it:  There are plenty of people in American who understand just how bad an idea gun control is, and they want it anyway because they think they'll be in charge.  They'll be the ones writing the schedules for the rail cars.

And the only real thing to say to them is just what that little graphic says.  You come for our guns, we come for you.

Stole the pic from here, where Vox Day points out yet another example of people who want to ban your guns.

Woke up feeling like crap

Went outside into the haze of pollution and crud in the air, and understood exactly why I felt like crap.  I look forward to getting the hell out of here.

Why Trump is important

Vox Day nails it:

That leaves immigration. And here, Trump is the only candidate who is even beginning to address the scope of the existential problem. All the Democrats, and more than half of the Republicans, actually want to make it worse. Even if you don't support him, or trust him, the mere fact that he is in the race has changed the debate on the subject more than the combined efforts of every anti-immigrationist, every open-borders skeptic, and every anti-free trade economist. He has been a literal Godsend in this regard, no matter what happens in the end. 

In short, Donald Trump has radically changed the culture, and culture always trumps politics. And that is why petty sniping about the usual politics is not only pointless, it demonstrates that you are too stuck in an intellectual rut to even understand what the rest of us are discussing.

You don't have to support Trump to see that he has pushed the topic of conversation away from what the Democrats want, and towards what the conservative voters want.

Gutless, pathetic cretins

The White House is six different shades of butt-hurt about Trumps proposed Muslim ban.  The worst President in the history of America is saying that Trump deserves to be in the dust-bin of history for daring to suggest that we not allow Muslims into America.

Apparently, he's forgotten that one of his idols actually took American citizens and put them in internment camps.  And yet FDR is spoken of in glowing terms by the Left, which implies that they're really not opposed to draconian solutions, they just want them directed at Republicans this time around.

Love or hate Trumps proposal, here are two simple facts.

Muslims do not have any right to immigrate to America.

Americans do not have any responsibility or obligation to permit any foreigner to immigrate to America.

This is our country.  We can allow who we let in and who we don't.  We should have a say in it.  And until we don't have to worry about some muslim screaming and blowing up day-care centers or shooting up a Christmas party (an attack that was planned a year out, which means right after Mr. Jihad brought Mrs. Jihad in from the Middle East) if we want to tell the Middle East and muslims to go fuck off, then WE HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO DO SO.

The post I linked to yesterday had it exactly right:  With the exception of Ted Cruz, every other Republican nominee is now arguing the very same position as Barack Hussein Obama, the worst president in American history.  They are so hoping that maybe THIS time if they attack Trump that it'll hurt him.  Maybe THIS time Trump's statements will bring him down.

Well Jumping Jehosephat on a pogo stick, how many times is this that they've jumped on the attack-Trump bandwagon and had it bite them in the ass?  With the exception of Cruz, they have proven incapable of learning just what is driving Trump's popularity, which means they have no idea how to get around it, and are constantly fighting a rear-guard action after the fact!  And if they have no idea for the reason behind Trump's popularity, that means that don't have a single clue about what their base wants, which is just more proof of how detached from the actual population the Republican party has become.

Trump is leading because he is finding out what the Republican base wants, and is saying it on the national stage.  Immigration?  The GOP had it's ears plugged and was screaming "LALALALALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" as the voting base wanted some control put into place.  Trump came out and said "Let's stop this stupidity."  Advantage Trump.

And now on this:  The GOP establishment is so scared of being branded "racist" or "anti-whatever-ist" that they've pissed their pants pre-emptively and already curled into a surrender ball.  Trump just came out and stomped on their dicks.  "Yeah, let's stop bringing people in until we can be sure they don't want to blow us up!"  Advantage Trump.

At this point, I think the only hope the GOP has is the one person they hate more than Trump:  Ted Cruz.  I don't think Trump would make a good President.  Oh, he'd be better than Hillary, and if he gets the nomination I'd vote for him.  But I don't really trust him, I just trust him more than Hillary or that senile fuckwit from Vermont.

But Cruz?  I'd vote for him in a heartbeat.  And from the looks of things, his lead is growing, which is a good thing.

Every other GOP candidate has proven they're so far out of touch with American and the actual GOP voters that I don't know if I'd trust them to pour piss out of a boot with instructions printed on the heel.

Dog whistles and what not

So Donald Trump wants to bar muslims from coming into the USA.  He said so.  Put out a plan talking about it.

And the usual suspects went apeshit.  Ted Cruz didn't.  All he said was "That's not my plan".  Didn't attack Trump.  But that's because Ted Cruz is smart.  The rest of the field, who were so eager to attack Trump, just found themselves in a shitpile of their own making.

So, to put it another way, the day after the President failed to reassure a scared public following the second worst terrorist attack since 9/11 on domestic soil, Donald Trump not only got himself to the right of all the other candidates, but also got every single one of them save for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX to align themselves with Barack Obama.

I think that Trump has been watching the GOP establishment for some time, and he knows exactly how to push their buttons, what to do to get them to react.  And he's playing them for the fools that they are.

In other news, Ted Cruz, who has NOT attacked Trump, and who has NOT jumped when Trump whistled, is now leading Trump in Iowa and is second in other states, with his numbers steadily growing all over the nation.

Who needs oil anyways?

Nah, not those people!

December 7th

So, dear old dad was born prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor.  He was just a wee toddler when the Japanese attacked.  My Grandfather spend the next four years on a ship in the Pacific.  I have a rosary, on which hangs the crucifix my Grandfather had on his rosary that he carried with him all that time.  It's the only thing I have of him, except for the memories.

Pretty soon that's all we're going to have of the people who served in WWII.  Memories.  So if you know any WWII vets, shake their hand and thank them.

Ragin' Dave's Quote of the Day, Evil Exists Edition

It's the comment on a piece over at Instapundit, but it needs to be hammered into people's heads:

The West doesn’t want to admit the appeal of evil, because that would require admitting that evil exists. And if evil exists, then that implies a duty to be good, which they would find onerous and tediously old-fashioned.

The Left (and some of the Right) desperately want "evil" to be just a make-believe concept dreamed up by the toothless, sister-humping Jesus-freak fly-over-country Rednecks.  Because then they don't have to do anything, and they can satisfy their moral preening desire by taking your money and giving it to someone else rather than doing anything of value.

Political appointee does what political appointees do

At least, it's what they do when they're appointed by Obama, and are nothing but dumb-assed political hacks who care more about their ideology than reality.

In a historic shift in policy, the Pentagon will open all combat jobs to women, Defense Secretary Ash Carter announced Thursday. 

“Our force of the future must continue to benefit from the best America has to offer,” Carter told reporters during a Pentagon press conference. “This includes women.” 

Women will now be able to help fill some of the 220,000 roles that are currently only open to their male counterparts — positions that include some special operations units and infantry — among other roles. 

The policy change will take effect in 30 days, Carter said.

This will lead to lives being lost on the combat field.  Combat is a physical activity.  Ignoring that fact in the name of political correctness will bite us in the ass.  On average, women cannot perform the physical tasks that men can.  It's not even close.

Oh, and by the by, this is a direct affect of allowing gays to serve openly.  Once the big push for political correctness was made, it was only a matter of time before this happened.  Allowing gays to serve openly in the military does not and will not improve combat effectiveness, but once people all nodded and applauded the social justice push of gays in the military, women in combat was the next logical step.

I'm glad I'm on the downhill slope to retirement.

A little a cappella

For a Saturday.

I first heard this song in a friend's car in Seattle.  Damn near laughed myself out the window.  I was easily amused in my 20's I guess.



Still a fun song.

The Liberal's Conservative

The only reason David Brooks is still a thing is because he's the "conservative" that liberals love.  As he expounds about why Donald Trump won't win in the NYT (link goes to Vox Popoli, I refuse to link to the NYT), I think it's the responsibility of every real conservative to point and laugh at this pathetic little nebbish.

David Brooks wouldn't know what conservatism was if it jumped up and slapped him in the face.  While he was furiously masturbating over the crease in Obama's jeans in 2008, real conservatives were being shunted to the side by John McCain and the GOP establishment.  The same GOP establishment who cannot understand why Donald Trump is getting the ratings he is, and why their favorite nominee Jeb is polling in single digits.  David Brooks is the product of the GOP establishment, and it shows in how totally and utterly clueless he is about anything other than the GOP establishment's mantra.

Look, I don't know if Donald Trump will win the nomination.  At this point, my money is on Ted Cruz.  Rubio still has a shot, despite his "Gang of 8" travesty.  But what I do know is that David Brooks is so full of shit that if he told me the sky was blue I would go outside to check.  So when the Obama-voting turd starts talking about why Donald Trump won't win, you can be sure that he is absolutely wrong about it.

Scott Weiland is dead

Aged 48.  Don't do drugs, m'kay kids?



This is my favorite STP song.  They've got the bass cranked up to the same volume as the guitar, and it's a melodic bass line that pushes the song forward, not just some plodding one-note one-rythem groove.

Looks like the Jihad has come to California

Syed Farook.  And Tashfeen Malik.

This is what they do in their countries, and this is what they'll do in ours.

Oh, and I'd like to express the joy I felt as I sat a few hours away from a planned assault going down, and knowing that thanks to multiple laws created by brainless, cowardly fuckwits, I was nowhere near a gun that I could use to defend myself if my facility were attacked.

Oh, and racking up yet another "fail" for the media, can someone tell me what "assault-style clothing" is?

Sandy Berger died?

So the worthless, corrupt shitheel who helped Clinton cover up his crimes by stealing national security documents has kicked the bucket.

God only knows what other crimes he committed while he was in the government with Slick Willy and the rest of the criminals.  But I'm pretty sure he's roasting in hell right now.

I know I shouldn't celebrate anyone being sent to hell.  So I'll simply say that I'm happy he can no longer damage this country in any way.

Get off your *&^%!@$# phone!

I don't own a smart phone.  I have one from my job, and it's convinced me that I don't want one.  I still use a flip phone.  A ruggedized one, which has been dropped in the pool once and still works.

If you want to talk to me, call me.  I own an actual phone, not a computer that makes phone calls.

Yes, both the Mrs. and I have screamed at people who almost hit us on the road "GET OFF YOUR *&^%!@#$ PHONE!"  I used to assume that people driving like they'd been lobotomized were either drunk on or drugs.  Now I assume they're on their phone.  And I'm right 95% of the time.

Let's play a game

Let's assume that members of the Catholic Church decided that gays were not only sinners, but they needed to be executed.

Let's assume that these same members of the Catholic faith decreed that women who had abortions were fornicators and murderers, and needed to be stoned to death.

Let's also assume that these same members of the Catholic Church agreed that any and all countries who didn't bow to the Vatican five times a day were infidels and needed to be converted by the sword.

And now let's assume that they actually went out and started doing what they said they were going to do.

What do you assume that I would do in response?  Do you think I would shrug my shoulders, say "Welp, Deus Vult y'all!" and start throwing rocks at women who had been buried up to their shoulders after they were seized coming out of a Planned Parenthood clinic?

Or do you think that I'd be gathering up every single man-jack around me and saying to those people: "This shit ends, and it ends today!  Otherwise, you end today.  Your choice."

I know that the readership of this blog is self-selecting.  Most people who come here do so because they are in agreement with most of what I post.  We're of the same mindset.  Therefore, I can assume that most of you would be standing side by side with me, weapons in hand, telling these people bent on slaughter, subjugation and forced conversion to step the hell off, right the hell now, before we turn their heads into canoes.  And if the Pope himself came down and told me that I needed to convert people by the sword, murder homosexuals and stone women to death, I would tell him that he had perverted the scriptures for his own Earthly gain, and he was not only going to roast in Hell for all of eternity but that I was more than willing to send him there.

But then, I'm a Catholic, not a Muslim.

I know that there are moderate Muslims out there.  I've met them.  I've worked side by side with them.  But as the previous post makes clear, the "Peaceful Majority" is irrelevant.  If they want to be relevant, they need to take up arms, turn to the people of their faith who are killing, raping, and subjugating others, and say "This shit ends, and it ends today.  Or, you end today.  Your choice."  I really think we've come to that point.  If Muslims did not act the way they do, would there be any problem with bringing refugees into this country?

Let me frame it this way:  What if instead of hundreds of thousands of Muslims, it were hundreds of thousands of Copts?  Do you think the reaction would be the same?

You bet your sweet ass it wouldn't.  Because the Copts don't go around raping and murdering people. Not the Peaceful Majority, not even the disgruntled minority.  They.  Don't.  Do.  That.

If the Muslims don't clean their own house, then there will come a point where certain parts of the Middle East acquire a glow that reflects nicely over the flat pane of glass that sits where their cities used to be.  Because the multi-culturalists won't be in power forever.  Nothing lasts forever, and there will come a point where people, frightened, decent people will simply tell those in power "Make it stop!"  And then they'll elect the people who will make it stop.  This is how dictators come to power, and a dictator with a mandate causes horrible things to happen.

The Myth of the "Tiny Radical Muslim Minority"

Because that's what it is.  A myth.  They might not be attacking us, they might not be strapping bombs onto themselves and detonating, but they support those who do.



Which goes straight back to this answer:  The "Peaceful Majority" is irrelevant.

This is standard practice in Socialized health care systems.

Don't actually detect and treat the problem.  Stop testing for the problem and wait for people to die quickly.

Hey, remember when that slimy demonic shithead from Florida claimed that the Republicans just wanted people to die quickly?

If you’re at risk of prostate cancer — in other words, if you’re male — the best place to be is the United States, where survival rates are highest in the world. But not for long, if the Obama administration gets its way in curtailing a test that flags prostate cancer before it spreads. 

The administration wants to penalize doctors who routinely order the PSA blood test. Under a proposed policy, those doctors will get demerits for being considered over-spenders, while doctors who skip the test will be rewarded with a high “quality” rating from the government — and be paid more. 

The Obama administration claims less care is better. That’s double-talk. An editorial in the current issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association points to a sudden, disturbing drop in prostate-cancer detection since 2011, when the United States Preventive Services Task Force recommended against using this simple test. 

Worse, the journal predicts more prostate-cancer deaths due to the drop. 

As predicted, Obamacare and every other socialist health care system just wants older patients to die, so they don't have to spend money on them.  Anyone with half a brain could have seen this scenario coming.

But that leaves out Democrat voters, doesn't it?

And since we're talking about Black Friday

And people love to pick on Wal-Mart....

So, the people protesting Wal-Mart to pay $15 an hour don't actually work at Wal-Mart.  Instead, they're people hired by the unions to picket Wal-Mart, called OUR WalMart.  Now, OUR WalMart is a product of the unions who want to get WalMart workers to unionize, but the Wal-Mart workers have refused to unionize several times in the past, much to OUR WalMart's surprise and dismay.  This dismay is compounded by the fact that the people hired by the unions to try to unionize Wal-Mart are not themselves union workers, and when they tried to unionize....

The unions fired them.

So, to surmise:  The unions are trying to unionize a business who's workers don't want to be unionized, but when the non-union workers the big union uses to threaten the business want to unionize themselves the union fires them.

Folks, you just can't make this stuff up.

Oh, and kudos to the workers at Wal-Mart being smart enough to avoid getting sucked into a union.  This ain't the 1920s, and Wal-Mart isn't a coal mine.  The only thing the unions do in this day and age is take perfectly good money out of your paycheck and hand it off to the Democrat party.  My non-union butt made more at my place of employment in Seattle than my unionized co-workers did.  I got more vacation as well.  The unions, having negotiated my co-workers to a pay scale below mine, then took a hefty share of their paychecks as well.

The unions tried to get into my department.  We kicked them to the curb.  Anyone who understands economics in this day and age should do the same.

The best part about Black Friday

is not going to the stores.

No, really.  Everybody is at the stores.  The malls are packed.  The shopping zombies are out in full force, clogging up aisles, filling up parking lots, and generally acting like brainless spoiled dead people.

So what does this mean for your humble correspondent, and indeed for yourself?  It means that if you want to go somewhere else, such as Magic Mountain or Knott's Berry Farm, well....

The lines are short, the crowds are small, and there's no waiting at the attractions you want to see.  I speak from experience on this.

The idiots are shopping.  Avoid the shopping areas, and you'll have a grand time!

Gratitude

I'm thankful that God made a woman who can put up with me for more than five minutes, and I'm thankful that she said "Yes".

I'm thankful for the family that keeps me sane, and reminds me of what real love is.

I'm thankful for the friends who get my sense of humor.

I'm thankful that the Irish invented whiskey.

And I'm thankful that I finally got my orders out of here.

Enjoy your day, folks!

Remember this when you're told "CONSENSUS!!!!"

I mean, despite the fact that science doesn't happen by consensus at all....

A German professor has confirmed what skeptics from Britain to the US have long suspected: that NASA’s Goddard Institute of Space Studies has largely invented “global warming” by tampering with the raw temperature data records. 

Professor Dr. Friedrich Karl Ewert is a retired geologist and data computation expert. He has painstakingly examined and tabulated all NASA GISS’s temperature data series, taken from 1153 stations and going back to 1881. His conclusion: that if you look at the raw data, as opposed to NASA’s revisions, you’ll find that since 1940 the planet has been cooling, not warming.

This coincides with the fact that for the past 18 years, satellites that measure global temperature cannot find any evidence what so ever that the earth is getting warmer.  None.

The Global Cooling Global Warming Climate Change fear-mongers lied.  And lied again.  And continue to lie.

The more I hear about higher education

The less I think of it.

Why should journalists know anything about economics or history? That’s the question the journalism department at UNC–Chapel Hill couldn’t answer, and so it has eliminated these basic requirements...

We are producing a nation of imbeciles, and paying handsomely to do so via the university system.  And in the end, we will have a huge group of over-educated half-wits, drooling morons with fancy parchment on their walls, who do not and cannot understand exactly what makes the world go 'round.  Overly-coddled ignorant cry-bullies completely incapable of dealing with the real world, who make a poopy in their pants and demand that you give them a trophy for doing so, while simultaneously demanding that the US taxpayer foot the bill for the Marxist incubation hive they spent four, five, ten years infesting.

Short of a hard science, why in the name of God would I ever suggest that a young person today go to a university?

I laughed my ass off

Yeah.  I did.  I admit it.

Your government at work, Ladies and Gentlemen

 Two Veterans Administration officials bilk the government out of a million and a half dollars, and not only do they NOT get fired when they're caught, they're still reimbursed for their moves!

I don't want to reform this government.  I want to burn it to the ground, and sow the embers with salt. Then rebuild it according to the original Constitution, mayhap with a few provisions that anyone caught defrauding the taxpayers be strung up from lamp-posts in the National Mall.

The Annals of the Disgusting

Trust me, don't click on that link.  I read the crap so you don't have to.  I'm only linking to it to prove that it actually exists:  "Feminist" makes bread with yeast from her own vagina.

I can't think of words in the English language to describe how disgusting this is.  This "feminist" needs to be celibate for the rest of her life and let her genetic line die with her.  This is what modern feminism has come to - making bread from yeast that she harvested from her nasty, unwashed cooter. I wonder if the dreadlocks she makes of her pubic hair were harvested as well.

But in the end, this does highlight something important in the modern feminist movement.  The only thing that a modern feminist has of any value is her vagina.  That's it.  Once it's old, tired and worn out, a modern feminist doesn't have anything left.  They don't have any values you want to share.  They don't have anything relating to their personality you want to be around.  A modern feminist is her sexual organ, and that's it.  I won't even say her reproductive system, because I don't know of any real men that would want to reproduce with a modern feminist.  That's the territory of weak, pathetic beta and gamma males who signal their feminism like a dog at the end of the pack order showing it's belly, attempting to curry favor with the bitch/feminists.

(For all you out there shrieking about the word "bitch", it is the grammatically accurate term for a female canine.  Deal with it.)

A modern feminist is her pussy, and nothing more.

A real woman is so much more than her vagina, but a modern feminist wouldn't know what a real woman is if one slapped them across their hairy face.

A righteous bitchslap

Delivered by one John Wright in the comments at Vox Popoli.

Well, I am a freaking Constitutional lawyer with a sheepskin on my wall to prove it, catiff, and I can confirm without doubt that the First Amendment interpretation banning Congress from establishing religion or hindering its free exercise is being outrageously abused and perverted by the High Court rulings, under the doctrine of incorporation, banning prayer in school, crosses on war memorials for the dead, and displays of the Ten Commandments in courthouses. 

You can read the post that started the comments, and read down from there.  But that was a bitch-slapping that will leave marks on the face of the target for a long time.

Well, ain't that interesting?

Safari just up and quit.  Had a total and complete catastrophic failure.

I hate to say it, but that's not quite unexpected these days.

Thank God I already had Opera installed!
