“When I was a kid, we said that we were precluded from going to certain neighborhoods because of the color of our skin … Now the neighborhoods are the neighborhoods of ideas, you’re not supposed to be there because … of the color of your skin.” ~ Clarence Thomas
2. And speaking of higher education - - I’m a big zombie fan, but let me tell you, if I found out my sons were wasting their time, and my money, on crap like this while in college, they’d be flipping burgers for a living in a heartbeat.
3. They are calling for a draft. The left that is. Since the beginning of the Iraq War is has always been the Democrats calling for a draft. The military doesn’t want one. Nor does the GOP. Why you ask? Because you can’t have a anti-war movement of any consequence unless you are forcing people to fight it. We aren’t. Our guys and gals want to defend their country, and that pisses off those who want to retreat.
1. Michelle Unbound. Best line, “I’m constantly reminded that I will never be smart enough to be a Democrat.” I know the feeling.
2. The Ten Most Hated People on the Internet. I don’t know many of them, and it’s a shame that one is a military member (although he deserves the scorn), but I wish Rachael Ray were higher than number 10. She makes brunettes look bad. And no wonder her voice is so raspy - she is a chain-smoker.
3. The French do love their fries. Eco-friendly since you could bring it with you when you go to McDonalds.
4. General Petraeus kicked Democrat butt yesterday. Well, that’s my interpretation anyway. What he did was answer every question they had with facts and reason and watched them make fools of themselves giving speeches about surrender. If you’re interested The Global Times has lots of video. Just scroll down to see them.
Only a man who has a profound ignorance of and, dare I say it, a deep-seated contempt for our military would say something like this.
“McCain was a fighter pilot, who dropped laser-guided missiles from 35,000 feet. He was long gone when they hit. What happened when they [the missiles] get to the ground? He doesn’t know. You have to care about the lives of people. McCain never gets into those issues.”
Senator Jay Rockefeller, Democrat, West Virginia, and Barack Hussen Obama supporter, appears to be that man.
Keep it up Dems. I simply cannot see attacking McCain, a man who served his country honorably and spent five fricken years in a hell-hole of a prison camp, in this way as a winning strategy in the general election.
1) The group is called “Catholic Schoolgirls Against The War” and from what I see there were indeed six schoolgirls involved in the disruption - that includes the three wussy guys, of course.
2) Where are the short plaid skirts and white knee-socks? They are Catholic schoolgirls after all.
3) Like I said, the Catholic Church is against the war, so why interrupt a Catholic Mass? Morons.
4) Kudos to the Cardinal for asking if they were okay when that girl screamed like a whiny little bitch. At least I think it was a girl. It might have been one of the guys.
5) If they had sprayed anything on me I would have physically defended myself and my family (i.e. punched them in their respective faces). I would have claimed self-defense since I would have thought they were spraying me with something dangerous. That’s my story and I am sticking to it.
UPDATE:
These six morons have had some serious bail set - from $25,000 to $30,000 - and have been charged with felonies. Good. I just hope the Cardinal doesn’t feel sorry for them and not press charges. And even if he does I hope some hard-assed parishioners who got splattered presses charges in his stead.
Also, check out the picture of one of the protesters, Ryane Ziemba, at the link. He either got his butt kicked recently or has one hell of a nasty skin rash he got from who knows where. Eww.
UPDATE:
The video was taken down. Leftist nuts don’t like looking like, well, leftist nuts.
A Daily Showvideo skewering the anti-war nut group, Code Pink, and its moronic and pathetic attacks on Marine recruiters in Berkeley. I can’t get it to embed, but it is absolutely hilarious. Go see it, you will not be disappointed.
Best interchange between the disguised Marine Reservist/Daily Show Correspondent and a Code Pick dimwit who is spouting-off about their free speech rights:
Disguised Marine: “If only there was an organization that was sworn to protect free speech? ”
Totally Clueless Code Pink Dimwit: “Wouldn’t that be great.”
Disguised Marine: “That would be outstanding. Righttt?”
1. Welcome to the preview of a Democratic president and congress and say hello to higher taxes. But the money will be for the children, right?
2. Welcome to the world of the Pastor of Barack Hussein and Michelle Obama, a man who is Obama’s acknowledged “spiritual mentor” for 20 years, married the couple, baptized their kids and who’s sermon titled “Audacity of Hope” was the inspiration for Obama’s book of the same name:
“The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing ‘God Bless America.’ No, no, no, God damn America, that’s in the Bible for killing innocent people,” he said in a 2003 sermon. “God damn America for treating our citizens as less than human. God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme.”
“We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye,” Rev. Wright said in a sermon on Sept. 16, 2001.
“We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America’s chickens are coming home to roost,” he told his congregation.
Nope, he’s not Obama, but you know darn well that people don’t belong to churches for decades unless they believe what the pastor and the rest of the congregation believes. If they don’t, they leave for other churches. It’s science (not to get into a whole faith/science debate here). And by the way. He raised his kids in this church listening to this crap. What kind of people do that? How good is his raved-about judgement if he does that? And to make things worse - he simply will not dump the guy. He downplays it and says he doesn’t agree but then makes excuses for this racist while at the same time playing the race card on anyone who criticises him about anything. This isn’t the way a man who is supposed to be a “race healer, not a race warrior” should act.
4. Anti-war reporting is helping Iraqi insurgents. Well, duhhh. This war has without a doubt been more difficult, costly, and lasted longer due to the main stream media’s concentration on bad news and anti-war rhetoric rather than good news (of which there has been plenty), pro-American stories, and tales of our many heroes over there. There are so many people here in America who should be ashamed for supporting out enemies this way. Despite this bombardment of bad news, it appears that only 18 percent of Americans think we should withdraw immediately from Iraq. Wow. Americans really do prefer winning over losing.
5. The Tennessee flying saucer house. I’ve seen it in person. It’s pretty cool.
7. More Obama news. Seems he got $1,000,000 in earmarks for the Chicago hospital where his wife is Vice President of Community Affairs. At a sweet salary of $316,962 which is an increase from $121,910 just before her husband was elected to the Senate. Coincidence, I am sure. I’m also sure they are she is worth every penny.
8. And what about that Al Quaeda - Saddam connection? You know the one that Democrats say never existed and Republicans say did, but have been hard-pressed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt? Well, it looks like there was one after all.
Captured Iraqi documents have uncovered evidence that links the regime of Saddam Hussein to regional and global terrorism, including a variety of revolutionary, liberation, nationalist and Islamic terrorist organizations. While these documents do not reveal direct coordination and assistance between the Saddam regime and the al Qaeda network, they do indicate that Saddam was willing to use, albeit cautiously, operatives affiliated with al Qaeda as long as Saddam could have these terrorist-operatives monitored closely. Because Saddam’s security organizations and Osama bin Laden’s terrorist network operated with similar aims (at least in the short term), considerable overlap was inevitable when monitoring, contacting, financing, and training the same outside groups. This created both the appearance of and, in some way, a “de facto” link between the organizations. At times, these organizations would work together in pursuit of shared goals but still maintain their autonomy and independence because of innate caution and mutual distrust. Though the execution of Iraqi terror plots was not always successful, evidence shows that Saddam’s use of terrorist tactics and his support for terrorist groups remained strong up until the collapse of the regime.
There’s no “smoking gun” in this report, but as a criminal and counterintelligence investigator with 24 years experience I can tell you that most cases are made with circumstantial evidence not smoking guns. This is good stuff. There was a connection. Not that any Democrat is ever going to believe it, but there was a connection.
9. It keeps coming back to Obama. This time he voted against his own tax and spending bill. You know, the one he keeps campaigning on. Makes your head spin, I tell ya.
10. I don’t care who she is, no way I would pay this unless I get to play with those hooters. She would also have to promise not to talk all evening.
“Let me say at the outset that I vehemently disagree and strongly condemn the statements that have been the subject of this controversy,” he said in the statement. “I categorically denounce any statement that disparages our great country or serves to divide us from our allies. I also believe that words that degrade individuals have no place in our public dialogue, whether it’s on the campaign stump or in the pulpit. In sum, I reject outright the statements by Rev. Wright that are at issue.”
Took him long enough. And I suppose I should take him at his word, but to be truthful I don’t believe him at all. He had to do this after all the race-cards he had been throwing at Hillary or he wouldn’t be able to throw anymore. Still, politically it lets the MSM off the hook as they can now call the incident over and move on to other things. They hated covering it, the little they did, and this means they concentrate on Hillary and McCain again.
Plus, his statement isn’t all it seems to be. Okay, maybe they are over-analyzing it, but hey, it’s not like he’s the only candidate that has been subject to analyzing. Then again, his distancing himself from Wright was predicted by the parties involved.
But don’t say this judge doesn’t support the troops.
A California judge rejected a foster teen’s request for early enlistment with the Marine Corps — and a $10,000 signing bonus — reportedly on the grounds that the judge didn’t approve of the Iraq war.
Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Marilyn Mackel denied 17-year-old Shawn Sage’s request to join the military last October, according to a report in the Los Angeles Daily News.
“The judge said she didn’t support the Iraq war for any reason we’re over there,” Marine recruiter Sgt. Guillermo Medrano of the Simi Valley U.S. Marine Corps recruiting office told the paper.
“She just said all recruiters were the same — that they ‘all tap dance and tell me what I want to hear.’ She said she didn’t want him to fight in it.”
Sage, a Simi Valley, Calif., resident, begged the anti-war judge for permission to join, according to the Daily News.
“Foster children shouldn’t be denied [an] ability to enlist in the service just because they’re foster kids,” Sage told the paper. “Foster kids shouldn’t have to go to court to gain approval to serve one’s country.”
Sage plans to join the Marines when he turns 18 in June and his case has prompted a Republican lawmaker to introduce a bill that would allow foster teens to enlist in the military without the express permission of a judge.
Oh screw it, of course she doesn’t support the troops. No one in the fricken anti-war movement - Code Pink and the rest - really supports the troops.
Wanna bet the bomber was part of the peace movement? You know, the one that is anti-violence.
But remember, they support the troops.
UPDATE:
Letters sent to Congress indicate what I said, an anti-war peacenik rant. But again, they love the troops.
UPDATE:
The FBI says there is no link between the letters sent to Congress and the bombing. It was just a moronic anti-war activist with bad timing. Go figure.
