Friendly fire

So Kevin Baker and Billy Beck got into an argument. Things got heated. I can understand that. But we've seen this song and dance before, and it seems that Beck is unable to deal with people in a halfway civil manner. I said so in the comments:

And I'll say it again - Mr. Beck, you might be the most brilliant man on the face of the planet, but it means nothing. Because you piss off people to the point where they ignore you rather than listen to you. You can say that you want people to think straight, but your actions say otherwise.

If you're unwilling to have patience when dealing with people who want to understand you, then quite honestly you're not worth dealing with at all. Because I refuse to deal with folks who make me wear my IBA with the SAPI plate in the rear.

Look, there's a huge difference between dropping a bomb on your enemies and deliberately dropping a bomb on your allies. Beck has repeatedly shown that he's more than willing to target people who want to agree with him over minor differences in opinion. Half the time it's not even that the various individuals disagree with Beck, it's that they don't understand his train of thought, and so he does the Internet equivalent of nuking them.

Now as I've said, Beck might be the most intelligent man on the face of the Earth, but it doesn't amount to a hill of beans because he's never, EVER going to get his message out there. And this all started because of Beck's attack on Bill Whittle:

If that guy is what passes for an intellect in these times, we are more fucked than I have previously imagined, although it doesn't surprise me.

Followed by more on Beck's website:

If you're going to take seriously someone who dresses up in a goddamned Star Trek outfit and tells you that reason and logic are impotent, in order to explain the intellectual rot in America today, then you deserve where you're going.

--

As for Whittle, he's a wanker and a creep. Sooner or later, he will expose himself to the dumbest among you, and I am content with all I have to say about him until then.

Well ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLRIGHTY THEN!

Now, the merits of their respective arguments notwithstanding, Whittle has still managed to do something that Beck hasn't done - package his message in such a way that he builds support for his side rather than attack it. And by the way Mr. Beck, if you stop on by and read this, Whittle's video was one of the best tongue-in-cheek lampooning of Star Trek geekery that I have ever seen. Because Whittle knows that when you're discussing Star Trek, as Maureen Dowd did when she compared the Liberal Lord and Messiah to Mr. Spock, you cannot take yourself seriously.

So Beck doesn't like Whittle. Fine. Beck doesn't like the way Whittle gets his message across. Fine. Maybe, just maybe, instead of attacking a man that is read and enjoyed by thousands more people than Beck could ever hope hit his blog, he should try to find a way to get Whittle on his side.

But Billy Beck just doesn't do that. Because Billy Beck is always right. And so Beck goes into attack mode.

By the way, Becks response to my comment:

Fine, then. Go deal with this socialist government.

My response back:

Unfortunately I have to do so. It would be nice if I could concentrate on dealing with this socialist government without people like you shooting my side in the back.

I'm not asking you to compromise on your beliefs, I'm asking you to check fire on friendlies until you can determine if you have the same objective. Apparently you're unable to do so, which makes you a liability.

Dealing with friendly fire is bad enough. Beck takes it to a new level, where he doesn't just attack his allies by accident, he'll target you deliberately if you don't automatically fall in line with his way of thinking. And you know what? Beck's line of thought might be the correct one. But that doesn't matter when people are under attack, all they know is that they're under attack. And so Beck's message will go unheeded.

Enjoy being "right", Mr. Beck. You'll be enjoying it with a very small group of people. It took at least ten percent of the population to rise up against King George in order to have a successful rebellion. Three percent just ain't gonna cut it.

Well, of course

Allegations of corruption arise against a Democrat American Communist Party member. What did you expect? It is who they are. It is what they do.

As U.S. stock markets plummeted last September, the Senate's No. 2 Democrat, Dick Durbin, sold more than $115,000 worth of stocks and mutual-fund shares and used much of the money to invest in Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc.

The Illinois senator's 2008 financial disclosure statement shows he sold mutual-fund shares worth $42,696 on Sept. 19, the day after then-Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke urged congressional leaders in a closed meeting to craft legislation to help financially troubled banks. The same day, he bought $43,562 worth of Berkshire Hathaway's Class B stock, the disclosure shows.

Dog bites man. I would be amazed that more stories like this aren't coming out, but then I remembered that in order for the media to do it's job they would first have to pull their lips off of Obama's cock for about five seconds, and that just ain't gonna happen.

US Army Anthem (The Caissons Go Rolling Along)
Words and Music by Major Edmund L. Gruber - 1907

Over hill, over dale
As we hit the dusty trail,
And the Caissons go rolling along.
In and out, hear them shout,
Counter march and right about,
And the Caissons go rolling along.

Then it's hi! hi! hee!
In the field artillery,
Shout out your numbers loud and strong,
For where e'er you go,
You will always know
That the Caissons go rolling along.

In the storm, in the night,
Action left or action right
See those Caissons go rolling along
Limber front, limber rear,
Prepare to mount your cannoneer
And those Caissons go rolling along.

Then it's hi! hi! hee!
In the field artillery,
Shout out your numbers loud and strong,
For where e'er you go,
You will always know
That the Caissons go rolling along.

Was it high, was it low,
Where the hell did that one go?
As those Caissons go rolling along
Was it left, was it right,
Now we won't get home tonight
And those Caissons go rolling along.

Then it's hi! hi! hee!
In the field artillery,
Shout out your numbers loud and strong,
For where e'er you go,
You will always know
That the Caissons go rolling along.
That the Caissons go rolling along.
That the Caissons go rolling along.

Happy Birthday

Putting it bluntly

...is why I like Og so much, even though I've never met the guy.

The issue of marriage, in case you’ve been living under a rock, is about this and this alone: Militant gays want to damage the church because the church will never accept their lifestyle. If you don’t get this, you probably never will.

Through history, if you see a group of people whining to be allowed to join an institution, like a country club, or an all-male military academy, or a basically religeous institution like marriage, their aim is not to be inclusive, but to destroy that institution. Plain and simple. The moment there is nationwide “Gay Marriage” there will be a call to force the churches to allow gay marriage, or be put out of business. This is that road. Want to go down it? I sure as hell don’t.

The phrase "Gentleman's Club" actually use to refer to a place where Gentlemen went to socialize. Now it's used to refer to strip clubs. Want to guess why?

Because a few women demanded entry. And now there are very few Gentleman's Clubs.

Which is just what the Gay, Lesbian, Transexual, Trianything, BDS&M, getmyfreakon community wants to happen to the various churches in America.

The Wife is Packing

God and the Army have a sense of humor. You want to know how I know this? Because I finally have a few weeks at home, and the Army sends my wife away on a mission.

Yes, you read that correctly. She's heading off to an AFAP conference for a week.

Ah, the military life. I swear, once I retire and I'm home full time, the Mrs. and I won't know what to do with each other.

Free Association FU

Every now and then someone else writes something that reminds me what a piker I am when it comes to a good rant:

Well played UAW, well played. You shit on your own plate, and rejoiced when you were served seconds. You couldn’t have fucked yourselves any better if you had handcuffed yourselves to a radiator bent over, spread, and pre-lubed in a San Fran sex offender halfway house.

Fuck you!

(.....)

Speaking of beer and (cough) “music”, I stopped after work at the pub for some fish and chips last Friday with Contagion. Beer. Fish. Friend. Malt Vinegar! Good! Band…. band BAD. Oh… oh god Band REALLY BAD! Band make Grau want to jam fists into transparent battle maces (AKA Bass pint glasses) and bludgeon the guy singing some kind of fucking dirge to accordion music and some kind of pseudo-steel guitar into paste! AIIGHHHH make it STOP make it STOP!!! Grau SMASH!

Seriously, it was like “What if we took classic rock tunes and sung them off key to someone who actually manages to play accordion like they spent their formative years huffing paint while listening to the Cure”

It’s an Oompah-GothTard tribute band.

One of the bartenders there is pregnant. I implored her to either allow me to mercy kill the band, or vacate the area before she ended up birthing a Democrat Sea Monkey Yeti ThingThatShouldNotBe. Alas, the damage may have already been done.

That part had me laughing so hard I almost fell off the couch! To the blogroll with you!

Remember, Only Whites Can Be Racist

The White House was quick to respond to the shooting at the Holocaust Museum yesterday by a deranged kook who has made his mark spouting anti-semitic remarks. In the words of Pres. Obama:

“This outrageous act reminds us that we must remain vigilant against
anti-Semitism and prejudice in all its forms.”

One must pause to wonder if the White House will be coming out with any statements condemning THIS deranged kook who has made his mark spouting anti-semitic remarks:

Them Jews aren’t going to let him talk to me. I told my baby daughter,
that he’ll talk to me in five years when he’s a lame duck, or in eight years
when he’s out of office.

Waiting…..waiting…..hmmm.

The new name for the MSM

is going to be "The Obama Propaganda Corps". One William McGurn makes the claim that "You would think that any self-respecting White House press corps would show some of the same skepticism toward President Obama's jobs claims that they did toward President Bush's tax cuts." But showing skepticism is not the MSM Obama Propaganda Corps job, Mr. McGurn. Their job is to protect their Lord and Messiah, to promote his agenda, and to attack his critics. They don't report the news any more. They haven't done any actual, simple reporting in decades.

I look forward to the MSM Obama Propaganda Corps breathless announcement of a new Five Year Plan any day now.

Brain dead

The more I see of Liberalism, the more I'm convinced that it's a mental disorder.

In November 2008 a Dutch journalist, Joanie de Rijke, was abducted by Taliban fighters in Afghanistan. She was held captive, raped repeatedly, and released after six days for a ransom of 100,000 euros ($137,000). After her ordeal, she acknowledged that her captors “did horrible things to me,” but added in several media interviews “They also respected me,” and emphasized “They are not monsters.”

So, you go to meet these guys to do a sympathetic interview, as in an interview designed to make these guys look as good as possible, and they take you hostage and repeatedly rape you.

And yet they're not monsters? You actually think they RESPECT YOU?!?!?!?!

How about this for an idea - this woman is so brain damaged that she can no longer understand such simple concepts as "Good" and "Evil". She cannot discern the difference between "Right" and "Wrong". Whether it's massive amounts of drug use in her teen-age years, or the indoctrination common among leftist conclaves, this woman is exactly why Leftists cannot be trusted with any power. They do not have the ability to use logic, rational thinking, or plain common sense.

This woman is a good example of why evil men can do so much in this world.

Guess who's back?

OG!

That's why I don't quit blogging, despite how badly I'm sucking at it these days. Because if I ever did quit, two weeks later I'd be posting again, probably in a raging, profanity-laced rant.

Just a reminder

When dealing with the IVAW, you're dealing with the scum of the earth. This Ain't Hell has one of the best run-downs I've ever seen on the IVAW assclowns, and I just thought it was so damn good that I needed to post a link to it.

Now I'm off to work.

Batten down the hatches

I know, it seems to be Dave is Depressed Day here at 4RWWS, but let me pile on a little bit.

Rivrdog:

Yep, boys and girls, the economy is getting worse. We may not have Leno around anymore to tell his daily "the economy is bad, really bad" jokes, but the recession only gets deeper, even as the Dow Jones has added 2,000 points of "irrational exuberance" since it hit "bottom" earlier in the year.

Looking for bargains in the real estate market? Have CASH to buy them? Be my guest, you probably won't lose more than 10-15% before the market REALLY bottoms out. Looking to make a killing in the stock market? Grab a mirror, my fine chump. That busted fool whose image you see is YOU.

Come out of this recession depression in Q3 or Q4 of THIS year?

Sure, we will, and this bridge-buyer's contract is just BEGGING for your signature, Mr. & Mrs. Gullible.

And just in case you weren't depressed enough! (via The Smallest Minority)

Might I suggest stocking up on non-perishable foodstuffs and survival gear? Ladies and Gentlemen, we're about to find out what happens when the Left is in control. It's going to make the Great Depression look like a small hiccup.

Quote of the Day

From David at Random Nuclear Strikes:

It’s been sad for me to realize as I’ve aged that the ideal of human universality taught in my youth was a myth. Culture matters.

He and I must have had the same teachers in school. But I had the ideal of human universality beaten out of my head at an early age.

Worthless

I used to have a bumper sticker that read "Democrats/Republicans = Same Shit, Different Piles"

Yep. That about sums it up.

If you assume that spending limits are the equivalent of cuts, which they aren't, we are talking about a $63 billion a year out of a $3,500 billion budget. I guess it's a start, but it won't get us anywhere if they don't come up with a better plan.

Are you friggin' KIDDING ME? If there was ever a sign that the Republican Stupid Party was out of touch and unable to separate itself from the Democrat American Communist Party., this is it. With a chance to oppose the Marxist take-over of our country, the GOP offers up....

Socialism.

Good bye 2010. The GOP hasn't learned a damn thing. It's full of Beltway insiders who continue to spit and shit all over the very people it needs to vote for them. The Communists have won, the GOP has sided with them, and this country is going straight to hell. I'm loading up on ammo.

Dammit, dammit, dammit, dammit, dammit.

And since I'm posting about the death of America, let's talk about Minnesota, which is about to be represented by a demented fucking retard who got elected through the votes of dead people.

Over 2,800 individuals who voted in the 2008 general election were flagged as being “deceased” prior to the election. Minnesota Majority then selected a sample of a dozen records for additional investigation. A representative drove to addresses listed on voter registration records. Interviews conducted with residents or neighbors confirmed that at least 5 individuals from the sample were deceased, the latest having died in March 2007.

And the punchline:

Deputy Secretary of State Jim Gelbmann said that the records of the 5 dead voters were erroneously updated with a vote history by election workers and were not examples of fraud.

I don't know what world you live in, but in MY world, DEAD PEOPLE VOTING IS FRAUD! Now maybe he's trying to say that the zombie voters being left on the voting roles isn't fraud. But they still voted. This, my friends, is cause enough to bring out the barrels of tar and bags of feathers. But I'm willing to bet ten dollars, right here right now, to any takers, that Franken the Demented Fucking Retard will "win" the election, get sent to D.C., and the spineless, worthless, ridiculous joke that is the Republican Stupid Party will just roll over and take it right up the tailpipe.

I did mention that I'm stockpiling ammo, didn't I? Good.

Woke up in time to go running

But we've got a thunderstorm going through right now. Ten bucks says it'll be gone by the time I head for work. Gah. No run for me this morning.

And I'm sorry about the lack of posting yesterday, but I put lighting up in my office, put the last coat of plaster on the guest room closet, and painted my filing cabinets. I had a bit to do. I've been gone so darn much lately that I have to finish all the to-do list when I have the chance. Like yesterday.

By the way, the Sand Creek Brewing Company rocks, and I strongly recommend their beers. Just so you know.

How can you tell when a liberal is lying?

Because their lips are moving. And trust me on this, their lies are for one purpose only - to garner more power for the ever growing nannystate.

Elizabeth Warren has another study out showing that medical expenses contribute to more than half of all bankruptcies–indeed, this time, it’s 70%, up from the 50% she found in 2001.

Now, it is possible that this is true. The fact that it seems to disagree with every other study I’ve ever read that is not authored by Elizabeth Warren, and also, the self-reports of the people in her study (only about a third of whom attribute their bankruptcy to a health problem) could just be a fluke. It doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s wrong.

Yet upon closer examination, it turns out that it is not just wrong, but actively, aggressively wrong. Warren and her co-authors have obscured important and obvious facts that call the integrity of the work into serious question.

This is the Left's next big project, one that they've been working on for years. Just as with the car dealerships, where GOP donors were being closed, and their dealerships given to Communist supporters, once the Left controls the country's health care they can decide who gets treatment and who does not.

And doesn't that just sound like fun? You have got to read the whole thing. And when someone blurts out that medical bills is the biggest reason for bankruptcy, shut them down.

It would be funny

If it weren't so bad for the country.

Rasmussen Reports: 36% Strongly Approve, 36% Strongly DISapprove of Obama.

Want more graphic goodness? Kevin Baker has a graph of unemployment numbers that just has to be seen. I mean, it's almost like those Washington D.C. parasites knew NOTHING about economic realities! Gosh, who woulda thunk it?

And the links to other graphs in the comments of that post are scary as hell. Get ready for the next Great Depression, folks. Money, Guns, and Lawyers? Your money will be worth half of it's value, and it's the farking lawyers who make up Congress who got us into this in the first place.

Keep the guns. Everything else is worthless.

Making a correction

So last week I posted about Obama's snub to the Queen of England.

Didn't happen. Yep, you heard me, it wasn't Obama's fault.

As much as I'm disgusted by the corrupt Chicago Communist, I can only blame the Teleprompter Jesus for things he's actually done. Unfortunately for all of us, that still leaves entire galaxies of actions the Liberal Lord and Messiah has taken, along with his whores of the press and legions of mindless, slavish minions to expound upon and reveal.

So, there you go. correction made.

Well, that was..... disgusting.

Yeah, I'm back. Yes, I haven't been blogging in a week. Look, I've been gone, so sorry, and besides, I'll refund your money if you're not satisfied, capiche?

But i get back, and what do I see? This. And this.

Newsweek editor Evan Thomas brought adulation over President Obama’s Cairo speech to a whole new level on Friday, declaring on MSNBC: "I mean in a way Obama’s standing above the country, above – above the world, he’s sort of God." ......

Thomas elaborated on Obama as God, patronizingly explaining: "He's going to bring all different sides together...Obama is trying to sort of tamper everything down. He doesn't even use the word terror. He uses extremism. He's all about let us reason together...He's the teacher. He is going to say, ‘now, children, stop fighting and quarreling with each other.’ And he has a kind of a moral authority that he – he can – he can do that." In response, Matthews wondered: "If there's a world election between him and Osama Bin Laden, he's running a good campaign." Thomas agreed: "Yes, he is."

Oh lord, help us all. This kind of worshipping is what makes me call Obama the Liberal Lord and Messiah. Don't tell me the Left doesn't worship this guy - I HAVE PROOF THAT THEY DO! And as Ace says:

I am not overstating things when I say that Obama could ask for blow-jay from pretty much any man in the media and get, at the very least, a shy apology and a raincheck.

If Obama asked for a blowjob from the MSM, they would be on their knees giving his balls a tongue-bath just as fast as they could get his fly undone.

I'm really just ready to vomit. If we had an objective media in this country, I'd bet my whole paycheck that Obama wouldn't get elected. The Drive-By Media is his propaganda corps. Rope, Tree, Journalist - Some Assembly Required.
