Look people - when I said that Obama can't stand the military, and only gives a shit about the military when he can use them for a photo op, did you think I was just being a bit..... rhetorical? Using a wee bit of hyperbole, perhaps? If you haven't seen President Bumblefuck call a Navy Corpsman a "corpse-man", go watch this.
This clueless fucking bitch can't go two feet without his precious teleprompter giving him directions, and even with his precious teleprompter he can't pronounce Corpsman right!
I'm actually pissed off right now. I'm pissed of that Obama the clueless, spineless, classless fuckhead can't be bothered to actually learn a bit about the military he leads, and I'm pissed off as all hell at the clueless, brainless, worthless fucking pieces of shit who voted for that simpering jackass. America won't die because of Obama, it'll die because all the people who VOTED for Obama are more than willing to vote for yet another empty suit.
Gah. I'm not in that good a mood right now.

Hey..... was there a game on yesterday?
There was? No way....
Aw, who am I kidding - I was watching the Super Bowl from kickoff to final whistle. I wasn't rooting for either team, so I could just sit back and enjoy some damn good football. And up until the middle of the fourth quarter it was anybody's game. Once Manning was intercepted, that was it. Lights out. Congratulations, Saints.
By the way... that anti-abortion ad by Mommy Tebow and Little Timmy? I don't know if they worked it just right or what, but THAT was what all the shrieking was about? All the shrieking harpies and eunuchs were getting their panties in a knot over that? Boy, that says way more about them than they would ever normally admit in public, doesn't it?

OUT-FRIGGIN'-STANDING!
One dipweed wearing a shit-ton of unearned medals just got arrested. Enjoy that jail cell, beeyotch.
The Great Peasant Revolt and DADT
If you haven't had a chance to read this Charles Krauthammer article yet, go thee hence and do so. If you want to see arrogance in action all you need to do is look at the Democrat American Communist Party at work. And this trickles down to their rank and file members. If I oppose repealing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" then they say it's because I'm either afraid or a bigot. If I oppose Government Health Care, then they say it's because I don't care enough about the little guy. On and on and on, and if you've been a conservative for more than a week chances are you've had people use these arguments against you.
It's a good article all on it's own. But stay with me while I make a sudden turn here.
And what's unsaid in those arguments? What's the insinuation behind those words? By stating that you are afraid of gays, or a bigot, they're stating that they themselves are NOT. They might not understand the effects of repealing Don't Ask Don't Tell, but by god they're no bigot like YOU, you knuckle-dragging homophobe!
If you're against the little guy, then that must mean that they're FOR the little guy! And they'll show just how much they're for the little guy by taking your money and giving it away! They don't need to understand the economic effects of their actions, they just get to feel better about themselves because they're for the little guy!
It's sheer arrogance. And it's undeserved arrogance. It eliminates the need to actually learn about a subject. In fact, if people were forced to take the time to actually learn about those subjects, they wouldn't be nearly as arrogant. It's a position that allows them to attack you as an individual rather than deal with the substance of the argument. And it's breathtakingly effective, based on how far they've pushed those arguments into the mainstream. Because instead of debating the actual topic, conservatives have spent far too much time proving that they're not a bigot, or they're not afraid.
Well fuck all that. Especially on the topic of Don't Ask Don't Tell, I have come to the point where I really don't give a shit what people think of me as a person. I'm tired of being insulted and called names by a bunch of pansy-assed pieces of shit who are advocating for something that they'll never have to clean up after,. It's risk-free gratification for them! "LOOK AT ME! I'M SO TOLERANT! I'M SO OPEN-MINDED! AND YOU ARE NOT!" They get to make themselves feel good and look good in public and they'll never have to deal with the consequences of what they propose. And so they use that undeserved arrogance to attack people who oppose them. Every debate boils down to "Oh, you're just scared" or "You're just a bigot!" or "You just need to get used to it!"
No, no, and no. If that's the best you've got, you need to go take a flying fuck at a rolling doughnut. Damn near every argument they bring up boils down to personal attacks, because that's all they have left. And quite frankly, I'm tired of it.
"But gays are just like you!" - No, they are not. That one is simple. I'm attracted to women. He's attracted to men. That's a pretty big difference, if you ask me.
"Gays have just as much right to serve in the military as you do!" Nobody has a "right" to serve in the military. The military discriminates for a whole host of reasons, and all of those reasons boil down to producing as effective and cohesive a military as possible. Putting gay men with straight men in the same barracks room tends to pretty much obliterate that whole "cohesive" part, just like bunking men and women together would do as well.
"I get along with my gay co-workers, why can't the military?"
Here's my response to that from three years ago. Go enjoy.
Here's what Fred wrote about the same time. If my civilian supervisor is gay, and he's coming on to me, I can go home and get away from him. In the military, if my Squad Leader is gay, and he's coming on to me, he has the ability to control my every move from sun-up to sun-down. And you think problems won't occur?
Do you honestly think that when problems crop up, they won't affect everyone? "Hey bro, you see what happened in 4th Platoon? That shit could happen HERE too!" And drip by drip, the bond is eaten away.
"But Dave, there are gays in the military already!" Really? Do I know who they are? Here's the thing - if they're keeping their homosexuality under wraps, then the negative sexual dynamic does not exist. Imagine a hypothetical situation where a woman pretends to be a man. I know that it's far out there, but just work with me. She shows up every day with short hair, boobs strapped down with an ace bandage, and manages to make people think she's a guy. She is in effect hiding her sexuality.
What sexual dynamic exists at that point?
Now one day she walks into a barracks full of men who thinks that she's a man as well. She whips off her shirt, takes the bandage off, and says "SURPRISE! I'M A CHICK!"
What sexual dynamic exists at this new point?
Yes, it's a hypothetical situation, but it can very easily be a real one if Don't Ask Don't Tell is repealed.
Let's just go with basic, normal questions: Where do you bunk gay Soldiers? In a room with a straight Soldier? That's a violation of sexual privacy. In with other gay Soldiers? You now invite the kind of sexual hijinks that you're trying to avoid by keeping men and women separate. In with a straight Soldier of the opposite gender? Again, violation of sexual privacy, both for the straight AND the gay Soldier. The people advocating for the removal of DADT haven't even bothered to come up with a serious answer to THOSE questions, and that's just the tip of the iceberg if DADT is repealed and open homosexuality is allowed in the military. Which tells me that they're not thinking about what is best for the military, they just want to push their political agenda on the military so that they can feel better about themselves. If people can't be bothered to think about what's going to happen if the action they're pushing is taken, then I question their motives. Most the people I've debated have brushed it off with "Oh, well you'll just have to deal with it." Yes, yes I will, and not in a good way. "You'll think of something." Oh god, the arrogance of that statement makes me want to howl. "I'm going to force you to undertake an action that you do not want to do, and when all hell breaks lose and you're standing neck deep in shit, you'll just have to think of a solution while I stand over here keeping my manicured toenails clean."
Fuck. You.
There's been one or two people who have managed to ask me questions without insulting my intelligence or my constitution. Sergeant Mac comes to mind. But the rest of you? You're not going to get any kind of niceties from me.
Flame on!

Dredging up an old post at Velociman's
About High Speed Rail. You know what the problem with High Speed Rail is? The problem is not the speed of the rail, nor the passengers. The problem is that High Speed Rail is nothing but another liberal pipe dream that they want to force on a population for that population's own good, and thus is driven by fucking idiots who don't have the first clue about how or where High Speed Rail (or light rail, or monorail) should run. All you have to do is mention mass public transit and all the liberals in the room will immediately begin jacking off because the thought just turns them on that damn much. But ask them the best way to implement it? Ask for a working plan, and.....
babblebabblebabbleshriekbabble
Back when I lived in Seattle (now home to the SLUT!) they wanted to build light rail. All the liberals wailed about how we needed more mass transit. Brainless liberals pontificated and pulled their beards (at least the women did, the liberal pussy men weren't allowed to grow a beard as it might offend the liberal women) and everyone muttered about how light rail just "needed to be done!" So they came up with a plan that would have run a light rail line from Seattle to....
Um..... well, kinda over here, and then it would end right there, but gosh, people would ride it! Uh huh!
The line would have gone from somewhere in Seattle to somewhere about a mile North of South Park Mall. It didn't go to the mall. It didn't go to the airport. It didn't go from one large city to another. It just meandered around without any real purpose other than to make liberals feel good about themselves, and it would have been as worthless as tits on a boar. Every mass transit plan not only ignored traffic flow, it couldn't have worked against it more if it tried! Look, have you ever looked at a map of the Puget Sound? You have Everett up North, then Seattle, then Tacoma, then Olympia, all in a straight North-South line with the suburbs and various cities in between. I-5 follows that line. All the massive traffic flow follows that line. Don't you think that if you wanted to build a successful public transit system that you MIGHT JUST WANT TO FOLLOW THAT FUCKING LINE?????????
I could have come up with a better light rail plan in half an hour. Just give me a map, some pushpins and a six pack of Guinness. "Build a station here, here, here, here, here, and over there. Connect all the stations with rail line. Build parking lots next to the stations, or better yet, build the stations as close to existing parking lots as possible. See Tacoma Dome for examples. Done. Now go get me some fucking dinner, ya fucking limp-wristed bitch!"
But that wouldn't have made the liberals FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL any better, and light rail is nothing more than a masturbatory exercise is self congratulations for liberals, so naturally they wouldn't have listened to me. Plus, by pushing forth a working plan, they couldn't suck Federal Dollars up like a crackwhore. And golly, they really wanted that money! And isn't it amazing how all that money disappeared with nothing to show for it? Hmmmmmmmmm!
Whenever you hear a liberal talking about how great light rail, or High Speed Rail is, just bitchslap them. Twice. And then don't waste another second with them.

Don't let me touch your computer
I just had to replace my work computer. So, that makes three computers around me that have died recently.
Whatever you do, don't let me touch your computer.

Secretary Gates, you are a fucking idiot.
You too, Mullen.
So, I'll ask again - who's ready to change the rules and allow me to shower with and sleep in the same barracks room as the females? Anyone? Anybody? Funny, because when I proposed that to a hard-core lesbian she flipped her lid and called me a sexist pig. And when I asked her why she had that reaction, she sputtered and squawked and called me several names, none of which were fit for polite company, and stormed off.
If you are going to demand that I live in close quarters with someone who finds me sexually attractive, I demand the same courtesy. I like buxom redheads, but a brunette will do as well.
Anyone getting that little "Uh, um, well...." voice going in their head yet? There are enough problems related to sex in the military as it is. Why in the name of god do we want to add MORE of it? The same group that says we have to allow open homosexuality in the Army can't deny that sexual problems are on the rise in the military. One woman who was shrieking about the rate of sexual assaults in the Army literally could not grasp the concept that adding yet ANOTHER sexual dynamic to the mix would result in MORE sexual assaults. In the comments to this post at KisP, TUA states:
So the cure for that is more sex? I can't buy that. Not at all. The solution is to get the barracks bunny to stop schlepping her boyfriend in the barracks. Or at least make it socially unacceptable to fuck someone while your roomie is trying to sleep. Back when I was PFC Ragin' Dave, if someone wanted to keep his roommate awake with his sexual activities, the roommate responded with cameras and flashbulbs. Unless the girl was a real freak, she normally objected to the audience and ended the fuck session. Swinging open the door and yelling down the barracks hallway "HEY EVERYBODY! SO-AND-SO IS GETTING LAID! CHECK IT OUT!" was also a good way to end the session and get some sleep.
Never once did someone say "Gosh, you know what would fix this problem? Allowing open homosexuality in the military."
Look, ever since I re-enlisted many moons ago, every time I've gone to a training, school, or deployment I've had open bay barracks or open showers. There's no privacy at all. The last thing that would make that situation better is the introduction of a sexual dynamic. Sex and the military causes problems. Adding another layer of sexual dynamics on top of it will not make those problems go away, and will make things worse. We need to go in the opposite direction if we want to improve things.
Or, let me bunk and shower with a buxom redhead. But that'll never happen, and we all know why. So why are we going to put me in the same situation as that buxom redhead, and tell me to just live with it in the name of "fairness"? Because in the end, it's not fair at all.
It's time to repeal the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy and allow gay troops to serve openly for the first time in history, the nation's top defense officials declared Tuesday, with the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff proclaiming that service members should not be forced to "lie about who they are."
However, both Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Joint Chiefs Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen asked for a year to study the impact before Congress would lift the controversial policy.
So, I'll ask again - who's ready to change the rules and allow me to shower with and sleep in the same barracks room as the females? Anyone? Anybody?

In the comments to this post at KisP, TUA states:
Our barracks were practically co-ed anyway, what with all the hetero-humping going on.
I remember I had one barracks roommate who’d boink her boyfriend while I attempted to sleep in my bunk a mere 10 feet away.
Truly unbelievably piggish behavior.

Seen this yet?
A Canadian Prime Minister is ditching the Canadian Health Care system and coming to the USA for heart surgery.
How much more needs to be said? Exactly what else needs to be said in order to prove that our health care system is quite possibly the best in the world? The system that all the pro-government-take-over folks want to emulate is being shunned in favor of our "greedy, capitalist health care system"!
Oh, and let this be a lesson for everyone out there who hasn't quite come to grips with reality yet - if the government takes over our system, and it turns into a gigantic pile of crap, our politicians will be leaving the country or getting their health care from somewhere else, leaving us the citizens with substandard care while they get whatever the hell they want. Don't think they give a shit about you. They don't. They don't care if you live or die so long as you act like a good little sheeple and do whatever the hell they tell you to do.
Gah.

Prepare for economic downturn
Because this is gonna take our economy for a good long while if it ever gets passed: $1.9 TRILLION in tax increases, and still trillion-dollar-plus deficits for upcoming budgets.
Gee, that just makes me feel warm all over. I need more ammo.
Bottom line: As bleak a picture as the administration paints, things probably aren’t even that cheerful. There is no time to waste in cutting spending and the deficit.
Gee, that just makes me feel warm all over. I need more ammo.
The Botoxed Bimbo of San Fransicko
Is at it again. I don't know how I missed this from the past few days. Oh, right, I've been busy as hell. Anyways. it seems that bitch Pelosi feels like using military flights to ferry her family around, complete with a Class Six bill that would make an infantry company blush.
For non-military folks, the Class Six is the alcohol store for the military. It gets its name from the military classification of logistical supplies. Class One is subsistence, i.e. food. Class Nine is repair parts. Class Five is ammunition. And Class Six is "Personal Demand Items", otherwise known as Morale, Welfare and Recreation.
In any case, the corrupt, plastic-faced bitch of the House has been ferrying her entire family around on a military jet. That might be completely legal, according to House rules. But since Bela Pelosi and her hubby are worth at least 92 MILLION DOLLARS would it be too much to ask that maybe their kids and grandkids and other extended family simply fly first class on a commercial airplane? Because from what I see, The Brainless Harridan is using a huge government jet to ferry her family around at taxpayer expense for non-governmental reasons, and then turning right around and lecturing us on our carbon footprint. Oh, and sucking down enough booze to light up the entire crew of an aircraft carrier.
Most. Corrupt. Congress. EVAH.
In a just world, that worthless hag would be kicked out of office as soon as possible, not just for this but for every corrupt act she's undertaken over the past three years. For her lies about the CIA. For her lies about her lies about the CIA. Hell, just search the blog for all the various posts I've done about her. She's corrupt, she's power-hungry, she's a giant hypocrite, she's clueless on the international stage, and she's a national embarrassment every time she opens her mouth.

Oh, and sucking down enough booze to light up the entire crew of an aircraft carrier.
Most. Corrupt. Congress. EVAH.
In a just world, that worthless hag would be kicked out of office as soon as possible, not just for this but for every corrupt act she's undertaken over the past three years. For her lies about the CIA. For her lies about her lies about the CIA. Hell, just search the blog for all the various posts I've done about her. She's corrupt, she's power-hungry, she's a giant hypocrite, she's clueless on the international stage, and she's a national embarrassment every time she opens her mouth.

Another Kevin Baker Uberpost
That absolutely has to be read. The one thing that amazes me is the sheer amount of people who work with the military who would be classified as falling into the "unrestrained" camp.
Anyways, set some time aside, and go read.

He's a nutcase
So, do you think this bowing thing is compulsive? Or is it just his complete and total lack of spine that forces him to fold in half?

A little smoke
The Mrs. and I wanted to do a little something different for dinner, and invite a few people over. So we got a 25 pound turkey. We brined it overnight, and it's currently sitting in the smoker with a mix of apple and black walnut wood hitting it. I figure it'll take several good hours of hot smoking to cook it through. Maybe I'll take pictures, maybe not. Depends on how creative I feel.
But I bet it's gonna taste DAMN good.
By the way, I'm enjoying the MacBook so far. Once you get the different controls figured out, it's pretty smooth. And the battery life on this bad boy is around five to seven hours depending on what you're using it for. Ohhhhh, yeah.

Changing my Religion
From being a Gatesholder to Jobsism. I have been ripping my hair out with Windows machines for years now. I use them at work. I use them at home. With Windows Vista I was yanking my hair out at record paces. It's a buggy, crappy OS that caused more problems than it solved. When my computer decided to uninstall it's wireless card, there was a little switch that flipped in my brain. And that switch plainly said "Dave, fuck this noise."
So I am now typing this from my brand new MacBook.
"But Dave, Windows 7 is gonna be so much better! They promise!" And that's what they said about Windows Vista. XP wasn't bad, but it wasn't as good as Windows 98. Actually, Windows 98 was about the pinnacle of that platform, and it's been a slow and steady decline from there. Windows ME was flat out painful to use. But Vista took the cake. "Oh, but it's a new type of OS, you need to give it time!" Horseshit. If it wasn't ready to release, then don't release it. Don't use my cash to fund your beta testing. Vista was slower than XP, took up more memory, made my hard drive run like gangbusters, and froze up on a regular basis from trying to do common average functions. I don't run massive games. I don't run ten programs at once. And I don't download gigabytes of programs and expect them all to run perfectly. I do basic wordprocessing, some photo editing, and web browsing. That's it.
And don't even get my started on my work computer. I was fed the hell up. So now I have a Mac. It's going to take some time to get used to the different commands and functions. So long as it does the basic things I want done, I'll be happy.
Anyways, I'll report on it later.

Portland Auto Show
So my 7 year-old is obsessed with cars and as a treat the Mrs & I took him to the Portland Auto Show on Thursday. It was unsurprisingly compact given the state of the economy and lacked any show-case concept cars so the show was a complete bust for me but it was still a pleasant walk-through.
I can tell you Chrysler is doomed... GM is still clueless showing up with dozens of Cameros without really featuring their offerings. Kia, Hyundai and Ford showed up to sell and drew my attention, but I have a confession about a bit of misbehavior on my part when I wandered through the Toyota section.
You know those bling wielding faux-tan stock-broker looking salesmen that seem to dominate Toyota dealerships? Well one particularly stereo-typical bombast was pontificating about how he's 'never taken a counter offer on a Toyota in all his years of sales because Toyota just doesn't have to'...
No one projects their voice like that unless they are intending to 'share' their wisdom with the rest of us.
And I couldn't help myself. I piped up, in my loudest syrupiest voice, "you don't RECALL ever taking a counter offer ever? Ever? I'm surprised you can't RECALL taking a counter as I myself can RECALL making a counter on a Toyota."
And every time I said "RECALL" I squawked it out...
My wife accelerated out of there like... well like a Toyota with a sticking gas pedal.

When it rains, it pours
I woke up Wednesday morning, set to go TDY. I logged on to my computer to check email, and discovered that my wireless card had died. Gone. Poof. I had disconnected from the web the night before, and inbetween then and eight hours later, no more wireless card. So I left without my computer. Ain't gonna take it if I can't use it.
Got home tonight, and the Ragin' Mrs. told me that her hard drive had gone kaput sometime around four this morning.
What next?

I give up
BlogSnot wins. Comments lose. I can't get this gigantic fucking piece of shit do so anything simple, like. oh, show the comments on the front page. You click the button that says "Show comments" and it's a fail. You double check everything, you make sure everything is installed correctly, you do exactly what you're supposed to do, and it's a fail. You try three different comment engines, and it's a fail. Try a different template, and it's a fail. Try going back to the old template, and it's a fail. BlogSpot is a fail. Blogger is one giant fucking fail.
Fuck this shit. I've got better things to do than fuck around with a worthless platform that doesn't do a damn thing it's supposed to do. I'm going to be looking for some other way to blog, because I am fed up with this crap.

The End Result
Of the Feminist Revolution. Enjoy!
I might expound on this tomorrow. Then again, if I can't get the comments to show up on the front page, I might just delete this fucking blog. I don't know for sure. We'll see how I feel after I shovel snow in the morning.

I think I hate Blogsnot
I have now wasted more time than I can count trying to get comments working correctly on this site, and every time I think I have it nothing happens. At this point, I'm about to just delete the entire fucking piece of shit blog and start over, preferably on a different blog engine.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..............................
Oh, and by the way, I'd like to say that the Blogsnot comments suck ten different kinds of dead donkey dick, but since I can't get THOSE to work either, I really wouldn't know. What the fuck was wrong with the original settings? No, I couldn't just keep those, this worthless fucking piece of shit demands that I change to a new fucking template, and new fucking settings, only all that spiffy new fucking shit DOES NOT FUCKING WORK! IT IS A GIANT CRAPTASTIC PIECE OF SHIT THAT DOES NOT FUCKING WORK! FUCK YOU, BLOG SPOT! FUCK YOU STRAIGHT TO HELL!

Another busy day
We had a good day yesterday. The Ragin' Mrs. and I went to a ferret rescue place near Madison (The Ferret Nook) and picked out a pair that we'll be taking home with us next Saturday. So you'll have ferret pictures in a week or so. The lady who runs the place is a person after my own heart, with all the animals she's got there. There was an old greyhound that just loved to be pet, and cats that would have lived on my shoulders if they had the chance.
I know, I know, big tough Ragin' Dave likes da widdle animals. So sue me. Some days I'd prefer the company of a dog to the company of anyone else. "If you take in a dog, feed him, and treat him well he will not bite you. That is the principal difference between a dog and a man" - Mark Twain. Given that our life makes it difficult to have a dog right now, we're getting ferrets. We've had ferrets before, and I actually love the little buggers. If you ever want to see just a pure expression of joy, watch ferrets as they're dancing around and playing. Kind of like a dog rolling in the grass on a summer day. Just simple joy.
Dinner at a Mongolian BBQ joint that we had friends recommend to us - Hu Hot. Good food, and the staff there rocks. For those who don't know, the Ragin' Mrs. has some pretty severe food allergies that make it difficult for us to go out to eat at most places. This place, when we say "Hey, she's got some food allergies, could you please make sure her food doesn't touch anyone else's?", they actually scrape the grill clean (as in down to the bare metal clean), pull out new spatulas, and cook her food as separately as they can.
Out-friggin'-standing! Needless to say, we'll be going back. Multiple times.
As for today, we're going over to a friend's place to watch some football in the company of good people. So with that, I leave you with a winter photo:
