Paratroopers are needing some love

29 February 2008
Filed under: Afghanistan, Support The Troops

Paratroopers serving in Afghanistan have been smeared by the NYT’s (are you surprised?). These paratroopers are living in harsh conditions and through all this they get kicked in the teeth by Elizabeth Rubin of the NYT’s.
From Blackfive:
A recent article by Elizabeth Rubin in the New York Times painted one Platoon of […]

BM

28 February 2008
Filed under: 2008 Election, The PC or Not PC Zone, GOP

Instead of the use of Barack Hussein Obama I prefer to use his first and last initial - BM (ok, so it’s not his last initial). It’s just a more apt description. This is a candidate that is totally full of *sheit*, just listen to his speeches. I guess McCain would think […]

Reports of defective, unsafe products rise every quarter
The CPSC recalled a total of 447 products for safety concerns last year. Of those, 298 were manufactured in China. Only 62 were made […]

The Obama’s and their American Pride Dilemma

22 February 2008
Filed under: Dems/Neo-Socs/Lefties, 2008 Election

John Hawkins has an article addressing Barack and Michelle Obama’s problem with being proud to be Americans. He brings up the well known issues of Barack refusing to wear an American Flag Pin or refusing to put his hand over his heart while the National Anthem is played. The Obama’s have a reality […]

Covert Global Tax does more than tax - gun ban, Kyoto Protocol, Criminal Court…… (S.2433)

From a commenter on my last posting on the Global Poverty Act , I found out there’s even more tucked into the UN Millenium Project besides a stealth tax which is a global tax to be collected and maintained by the United Nations Useless Nitwits.
From Cliff Kincaid at AIM:
This is how the Washington game of […]

Haditha Revisted

On Tuesday night Frontline’s story was on the Marines in Haditha and the supposed “massacre” of Iraqi civilians. It was more balanced than I expected, however I noted some missing facts especially regarding the Iraqi reporter from the Human Rights group.
Newsmax has the story on the facts missing from the Frontline/PBS “Rules of […]

Top Oinker of the year goes to Rep. John Murtha (D-PA)

Image from Blue Crab Blvd
Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) named Rep. John Murtha the “Porker of the Year for 2007″. I’m sure that Murtha is very proud and in fact would look on this award as a badge of honor, considering that he’s looking for more campaign donations bribes on Feb. 27th. You […]

This is a funny story from an ER nurse on an encounter of the weird sort. Found it over at Freepers, he kept me in the story until the end. I really wanted to use the physician’s anecdote for the title but then it would have told the story………
“The strippers!” she snapped in […]

History Lesson on Presidents Day

18 February 2008
Filed under: Education, History

First I have a nit. The holiday of Presidents Day has always grated for me. I think it’s ridiculous there’s a holiday for Martin Luther King yet the first president of our country is lumped into a holiday called “Presidents Day”. It just seems to me if we’re going to honor someone […]

Anybody heard of this hobbie? I saw this on one of the forums I like to peruse.
Excerpt:
If you’ve never heard of geocaching, you can think of it as part treasure hunt, part scavenger hunt. People all over the world hide items - anywhere…in the middle of big cities, out in the countryside, on tops […]

Courage, grit and determination

Marine Eamon Kelly had to fight all over again last Tuesday in Berkeley, California. Eamon joined Move America Forward to protest Code Pink and the city of Berkeley, California just days after having back surgery.

Eamon Kelly stood, a cane holding his battered body on one side, and his mother propping up the other.
The young […]

Outcomes

I gotta hand it to “Progressives” (that’s code for Socialists). From Newsbusters we find out that Hillary’s new universal health care socialized medicine has “outcomes”.
Here let me translate progressive speake for you - “Outcome” means punishment, paying the piper for not doing what the guvmint tells you to do.  The new […]

To Dems Amnesty for illegal aliens is more important than FISA Bill Renewal

15 February 2008
Filed under: Illegal Immigration, Dems/Neo-Socs/Lefties

The Democrats apparently believe giving amnesty to illegal aliens is more important than security for Americans. Instead of working to renew the FISA Bill the Dems are working to bring back the Comprehensive Immigration Bill (comprehensive is the code word for amnesty) in backroom negociations.
In an alert from FAIR:
Backroom Negotiations in House May Bring […]

When is the hammer going to come down on China’s exports?

15 February 2008
Filed under: National Security, The Underbelly

Corporations need to step up to the plate and cure their China production maladies. I know there’s got to be a significant lag time involved in any manufacturing change but this is getting disturbing. For many food related products I can look at where the product is produced but when you are talking […]

3 Afghans Caught With Fake Mexican Passports

Yep, no need to protect the southern border with Mexico. It’s just poor, uneducated Mexicans illegally crossing the border who want to make a better life for themselves off of the back of Americans. You people who think we need to protect our borders are just racists, nativists and restrictionists. [sarcasm off]

Islamists around the world have been attacking free speech. In 2006 a Denmark newspaper published a cartoon of Mohammed and the Islamists went into a jihadist frenzy. The country of Denmark stood firm in support of the cartoonist. Denmark arrested 5 Islamists this week for plotting the murder of this cartoonist. […]

Berkeley CA’s jihad against the USMC crescendoed on Tuesday to a huge protest between Code Pink and Pro-Troop Supporters.
