Saturday breakfast

Deep in the heart of Texas:

Today at Saturday’s breakfast at the world-famous Fried Pie Company Don said he had watched an interview with some of the cops and firefighters who survived the WTC on 9/11 and loved others who had lost loved ones.

One of the firefighters wondered “when are we gonna start calling this ‘dissent’ what it really is… being a traitor who gives aid and comfort to the enemy?”

We all agreed that it had been a long time since we’d fried the Rosenbergs back in 1950 and that a resumption of higher utility costs at federal prisons was long over due.  By acclamation top on the needed hit list was Maj. Amahad Raghead who shot up Fort Bragg, killing 14 and wounding dozens more

It’s been weeks and more time is being spent on seeing to Hasan’s comfort that determining who gets immediate forced retirement for allowing such an unforgivable breech of security.

Thank God Fort Bragg was and is a “gun free zone”, like Va Tech, Columbine and other left-wing run installations. 

We also agreed that since we are a “nation of laws, not men” this zero tolerance policy applied to members of Congress and the President of the United States and every tenured teacher, instructor and professor in the country.

Major Raghead is a murdering traitor; but they put Pvt. Slovik before a firing squad in WWII on a desertion charge, but it’s clear Hasan will get three hots and cot and then some democrat will release him back to Ragheadville… after therapy, of course.

Some of us around Amanda’s crowded table observed that it was an outrage that it was going on 10 years and the communists in New York couldn’t decide on a 9/11 Memorial that wouldn’t offend the sub-human rat bastards that drove the planes into the e’ffing towers.

To which former Cheeapolee Carl got off the morning’s best line:

“Yeah, but the Navy had time to build an entire ship that can deliver an entire battalion of 800 Marines anywhere on the planet in less time.”

What’s the difference, my friends?

Exactly; it’s the plain and simple difference between left-wingers and conservatives, it’s the difference between blue and red, the difference between communists and Americans, the difference between those who believe in God and those who worship Barack Hussein Obama… mmmm, mmm, mmm.

As faithful, long-time readers may remember, I’ve often said that “We are no longer a serious nation.”

Strike that… “We have become a suicidal country.”

Bill Buckley is supposed to have said that he “… would rather live in a society governed by the first 300 names in the Boston phonebook than by the Harvard faculty."

Right sentiment… wrong city.

Should be Gainesville by Gawd Texas.

Government of Oz

Sorry for the drop off in posts; I had the every 4-5 year computer freeze up/blow down and am working on an old laptop.

Time to spend $$ I hadn't counted on.

The Mac devotees would say I have the wrong PC, but I don't want to learn an entire new system.

I had a really decent post for Dec. 7... essentially that we've gone from "Remember Pearl Harbor!" to "Prosecute Our SEALs!"

In essence that was it; when you think of it that's a lot.

The flat-earthers in Cope-N-haaggunn number as many as 20,000... and five rag-head terrorists. It occurred to me mind that if someone set off a truck load of C4 in the midst of thousands of environmental whack-jobs and a handful of poseur politicians, I wouldn't shed a tear. 

And now that the so-called "Danish text" has been leaked, exposing the entire scam as a gigantic con, and designed to undermine small countries.... the entire enviro-idiots are done; but that does not mean that your Congress and President won't sign it anyway.

When you look at the world today... especially the U.S. government, it's like touring a movie lot; intricate facades which front enormous plywood constructs. Or if you will, the "Pay no attention to the Man behind the curtain" scene from Wizard of Oz.

Problem is... 70 percent of most people don't care to step around back, being content to live lives of mindless emotion.... "can't we all just get along?"

No, Virginia... there is no Utopia.

The problem is... Utopians, if they remember, vote.

Think of it, you read, you discuss, you think and fret; you worry about the country you're leaving your children, pray... and you vote--only to have it canceled by a idiot who only needed "Hope and Change" to exercise their franchise.

Frightening, no?

Great take on the similarities between the manufactured public images of mmmm, mmmm , mmmmm Barack Hussein Obama and Tiger Woods.

Jack Shafer, the Slate media columnist, spells out how this transpired.

"The Tiger Woods that was constructed for corporate consumption was spotless and smooth, an edgeless brand easily peddled to sheikhs and shakers.

"Because Barack Obama is about as completely manufactured a political character as this nation has seen. His meteoric rise, without the inconvenience of a public record or accomplishments, and the public's willing suspension of critical evaluation of his résumé allowed his handlers and the media to project whatever they wanted to on his unfurrowed brow."

and, from Lisa Schiffern wringing in American Thinker

"Ironically, the parallels have nothing to do with race. The Obama campaign did explicitly attempt to borrow the from the then-universal Tiger Woods appeal to allay any discomfort voters might have had with a mixed-race politician. They constructed a persona that would make the American electorate comfortable with a barely-known, first-term senator with a left wing voting record, a deliberately obscured personal and professional past, and no traditional qualifications for high office.

Indoctrination… indoctrination… its makin’ me hate….

Forbes.com reports:

“In 1974, the National Science Board announced: ‘During the last 20 to 30 years, world temperature has fallen, irregularly at first but more sharply over the last decade. Judging from the record of the past interglacial ages, the present time of high temperatures should be drawing to an end…leading into the next ice age’."

Since the 1960s science charlatans have predicted the end of the world as often as people in rural Kentucky report being abducted by aliens, specifically the “small, gray” variety.  

In this time what we have seen is the transmogrification of so-called “hard science” into part religion, part “long-con”, most most of all, anyone with a science credential is trying to turn it into a personal gold mine.

And just like the old snake oil salesmen of the Old West, usually with made up titles like Professor of Doctor, would offer a solution for what ailed the rubes and bumpkins who were too gullible and downright stupid to know they were being hustled.  

Gold and silver changed hands and people like Clark Stanley left town before sundown, no doubt with a big grin on his mug and a jungle in his pocket.

But after more than four decades of making a living off idiots and teaching governments how to get in on the scam and make the populace pay for it, “Global Warming”, “Climate Change” and its progeny may be coming to an end. 

Thanks to a whistleblower, someone with a grudge or perhaps even the Russians (more here), the curtain has been pulled back on global warming, the “greatest Ponzi scheme” ever, and one that made Al Gore, a has-been politician, fabulously wealthy.   

Once again, my friends, this is an example of successfully fighting city hall; a small motivated group of people can fight hysteria, gigantic governments, and cults of personality.

The only thing that allowed global warming to threaten America’s economy and society was the “useful idiots” like your left-wing sister-in-law who gets misty-eyed over a TV commercial and send a $100 of your money to Green Peace.

Which is immediately placed in the beer fund.

If useful idiots have children then the leftists’ job is just about done, because there is no check and balance between the unprotected child in government schools and communists.

No?

Was “An Inconvenient Truth” mandatory viewing in your school district? What did you do about it? Nothing?…. exactly.

Did you allow teachers to feed your kids propaganda that was fed to her by the likes of George Soros, Planned Parenthood, the dimocrat party and activist unions like SEIU?

Yes you did, whether you know it or not.

This climate propaganda was allowed in our classrooms, unchecked for more than two generations… and that’s a major building block for undermining an entire society.

Here’s a current example:  more at CNSNews.com

A Santa Barbara California junior high school principal and a teacher are apologizing for not following school district policy relating to a pro-homosexual workshop presented 8^th grade students at the school.

The principal said she was “not aware” of the content of the workshop handouts until they were brought to her attention by parents.

Then the school board should fire her.

The district’s “coordinator of administrative services and communications” explained that “protocols” were not followed ahead of the workshop, and failed to be considered under the school board’s “controversial issues” policy and sex education policy, which requires parental notification.

Then the school board should fire her.

If you want your tax money to be used to turn your kid into a eco-whacko communist who believe that gender is just “a state of mind” and there’s nothing wrong with homosexuality or bestiality, then keep them in public school.     

The enemy here is the NEA—the National Education Association; its annual budget is well in excess of $300 million, 10 times that of the entire AFL-CIO. Its membership, roughly 3.1 million, is second only to the Teamsters.

It has:

• infiltrated the U.S. Department of Education. It runs thousands of its members through "political-action workshops," sometimes giving graduate-study credit to attendees. In one election year alone, its political-action committees threw some $250 million into Democratic campaigns.
• the NEA’s goal was not to educate the young but to give them anarchic "self-esteem" and deprive them of any sense of what's wrong or right.
• The "track" system, whereby the bright students could learn at a faster pace and the less bright at a pace of their own, was abolished, condemning the brighter students to boredom and the slower to frustration.
• The NEA preached the alienation of children from parental guidance, urging them to "inform" on their families, as in Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany.
• The NEA's openly avowed goal today: "To tap the legal, political and economic powers of the U.S. Congress. We want ... sufficient clout [to] roam the halls of Congress and collect votes to reorder the priorities of the United States of America."

If you have children in public school, you owe it to them to read the history of the NEA here.

No contest… the Medal of Honor against a craven homeowners’ association

Colonel Van Barfoot fought and helped defeat the Nazis and the communists twice, yet now, even at age 90 his enemies are still at the gate.

The retired Army officer has dug in against his home owners association in Richmond Virginia because they’ve threatened legal action for flying his US flag on a 21-foot tall pole.

He raises the American flag every morning on the pole, then lowers and folds the flag at dusk each day in a three-corner military fashion.

Van Barfoot was given until 5 p.m. today by the Richmond law firm of Coates & Davenport  to remove his flagpole or face "legal action being brought to enforce the Covenants and Restrictions against you." The letter states that Barfoot will be subject to paying all legal fees and costs in any successful legal proceeding pursued by the homeowner association's board.

Barfoot moved to the Sussex Square community in western Henrico County last July, and was ordered to remove the flagpole from his front lawn when he flew the flag on Labor Day, and again on Veterans Day.

The HOA said he could not use his flagpole "for aesthetic reasons.”

This is the respect shown to a man who was awarded the Medal of Honor for his action following the Anzio landing in early 1944.

Then a tech sergeant, Barfoot advanced alone through a Nazi minefield, following ditches and depressions, until he came within a few yards of a machine gun on the German flank. After taking out the gun with a hand grenade, he entered the German trench and advanced on a second machine gun, killing two soldiers and capturing three others. When he reached a third gun, the entire crew surrendered to him. Others also surrendered and Barfoot captured a total of seventeen German soldiers, and killed eight.

When the Germans launched an armored counterattack later in the day, Barfoot disabled one tank with a bazooka, then advanced into enemy-held territory and destroyed an abandoned German artillery piece. He returned to his own lines and helped two wounded soldiers from his squad to the rear.

Now as then, the lanky (6’5”)  Barfoot is not backing down and will fight this in court. He is said to be shocked and gratified by the outpouring of support from around the country.

There is no HOA rule expressly forbidding flagpoles, but the board ruled against Barfoot’s flag pole after the fact and ordered it removed in July. Short flag “stands” attached to porches dot the community. See video here.

We all know HOAs are populated by people who snitched on you in grade school, and they’ve never grown up.

The appropriate and proper response is to grant him an exemption, but they’re the perfect little fifth-columnists for who, “the rules” are far, far more important than respect, dignity and common sense.

He earned the exemption a very long time ago, putting his life on the line professionally for millions of people who aren’t fit to carry his canteens.

And what of those brave attorneys at Coates & Davenport P.C. who accepted this “case”?

They did so because compared to money, the Medal of Honor, the Flag and America do not mean anything to them… otherwise they would have refused the retainer.

Real America still produces men like Col. Barfoot, warriors young enough to be his great grandsons (tip of the helmet to Sailor Ron).

The morning of Nov. 16, 2005, was another day in Operation Steel Curtain to stem the flow of mercenaries entering Iraq from Syria. The end of this particular assignment was in sight as the Marines were running out of houses to check for signs of hostiles on the outskirts of New Ubaydi, near the Iraq border.

What they couldn't know was that two dozen insurgents had picked the last farmhouse on the road for a final stand.

The firefight lasted only an hour, but the heroics would produce one Navy Cross, four Silver Stars and three Bronze Stars with Valor.

The Navy Cross—America’s second-highest valor award—was earned by Cpl. Joshua Mooi, right, who entered direct line of enemy fire six times in an effort to remove badly injured Marines who had been ambushed.

Do yourself a favor and read about Mooi and his comrades in the life-changing minutes for members of 2nd Platoon, Fox Company, 2nd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment—here.

It’s an honor to have worn the same uniform as these fine young Marines

Rageaveu… it’s 1972 once more

There’s no need for me to rehash The Fifth-Columnist’s overproduced half hour of lies and distortions…. the young West Point cadets, despite orders from superiors for “enthusiasm”, sat on their hands.

Essentially Obama delivered the same old half a loaf rah-rah he always does when trying to more of less conduct a war while selling out those who fight it in order to appease the radical left.

I am beginning to view this war the same as I did the Vietnam War in 1972-73.

Johnson had wasted thousands of lives through the 1960s by “no-fire zones”, hand-picking bombing targets himself and a refusing to interdict Russian war supply ships before they reached Haiphong Harbor.

From the beginning of Rolling Thunder bombing raids over North Vietnam starting in 1965, Washington dictated which targets would be struck, the day and hour of the attack, the number and types of aircraft and the tonnages and types of ordnance utilized, and sometimes even the direction of the attack.

Repeatedly, the Air Force was ordered to conduct daylight bombing missions over the most heavily fortified city in history, following the very same routes, day in, day out.

Airstrikes were strictly forbidden within 30 nautical miles of Hanoi and within 10 nautical miles of the port of Haiphong. A 30-mile buffer zone also extended along the length of the Chinese frontier.

According to Air Force historian Earl Tilford:

Targeting bore little resemblance to reality in that the sequence of attacks was uncoordinated and the targets were approved randomly - even illogically. The North's airfields, which, according to any rational targeting policy, should have been hit first in the campaign, were also off-limits.

As a result, our losses were appalling and unnecessary.

In 1968, Richard Nixon was elected on his a “secret plan” to end the war… which turned out to be… we’ll run away, and please give us back our POWs.

Like rats on a sinking Green Peace ship, Congress was overrun with democrat anti-war, anti-military cowards and eventually voted to withhold funding from our troops in the field…. any of this sound familiar?

In response to the 1970 U.S. invasion of Cambodia Congress passed the landmark Cooper-Church Amendment which prohibited the use of any funds already appropriated for military spending on the introduction of additional U.S. troops into Cambodia.

Nixon only whined, and did not veto it. 

Following Cooper-Church, and even after the Paris cease-fire agreement, Congress literally dropped the hammer on the Vietnam War with its passage in 1973 of a joint resolution (H.J.Res. 636) prohibiting any further appropriation or expenditure of any funds for any "combat in or over or from the shores of North Vietnam, South Vietnam, Laos or Cambodia."

The South Vietnamese held on for the next two years, but without the promised and agree upon U.S. air support, the ARVN was finally crushed and Saigon fell in 1975. Millions of our allies, many who worked with and for us, were…. along with their families, imprisoned, tortured and murdered if they were unable to escape.

Cambodia was transformed into a killing field the likes of which had not been seen since the days of the Third Reich.

Their blood (and that of 58,000 Americans) remains on the hands of American politicians.

It is happening again now.

Today we also have spineless politicians in power who care far more about their government job and a license to steal, than they do about the best and brightest of this generation fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.

And last night after dithering for more than three months, at a cost of 116 U.S. troops, Obama announced that he “will” send the reinforcements so urgently requested by General McChrystal; or more, correctly, about 30-percent of the 80-90,000 wanted by CENTCOM.

And… Obama’s timeline for the “surge” will be carried out incrementally… one of the worst military mistakes.

One move on the chessboard can be met and matched… 20 cannot.

Yet, the Coward-in-Chief said his "urgent attention and swift action" resulted in him sending 17,000 U.S. troops "to stabilize a deteriorating situation" in Afghanistan."

Additional U.S. contingents, the 8,000-strong 2nd Marine Expeditionary Brigade from Camp LeJeune, N.C., will arrive in late May. The Army's 5th Stryker Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division from Fort Lewis, Wash., will arrive with 4,000 troops in late July, along with an additional 5,000 troops in still-undesignated smaller units.

And the kicker from last night’s abuse of the West Point Corps of cadets who could have been studying or sleeping, was this:

We will remove our combat brigades from Iraq by the end of next summer and all of our troops by the end of 2011.

That’s all “combat” troops out by August 2010… nine months from today. 

And we’ll be out of Afghanistan just in time for….. the presidential election!

Isn’t it ironic how that worked out? 

First, Obama cannot predict the future, despite his water-walking ability.

Secondly, our leaving Afghanistan, also brings into play the issues of Iran, Pakistan and Iraq which TOTUS failed to strategically address. Could those elements possibly impact our military decisions between now and then?

If this time table and decisions are carried out, we will soon have our backs against the wall in the United States, for we will have proven that we’re more bark than bite, and that if we have democrat-controlled government, we can be bitch-slapped at will by any raghead on the block.

This happened in Somalia in 1992, and we suffered 9/11 as a direct result.

Tell, me… how in good conscience can I urge someone to join the military now while Barack Hussein Obama is at the helm? Now that he has given our plans to the enemy, and even given them the date of our surrender?

How could I face their family if they were the last to die in a war manipulated by The Manchurian Candidate to assure his re-election?

I yearn for American of long ago:

“We call upon the Government of Japan to proclaim now the unconditional surrender of all the Japanese armed forces, and to provide proper and adequate assurances of their good faith in such action. The alternative for Japan is prompt and utter destruction."

Any questions?

Now, do the right thing and go tell your kids to forgive you because there is no such thing as global warming (sic)

As faithful readers will recall, I never argue with Holocaust deniers… it is beneath the dignity of one of the world’s greatest atrocities and beneath the intelligence of any sane person.

So it comes as no surprise that I’m not going to spend much time on the collapse of the world-wide global warming conspiracy; the leftist enviro-whacko scientists has been outed, proving once and for all that anyone who still believes in “man-made global warming” is a certifiable idiot.

Amazing, unbelievable, breaking news:

• people lied to line their own pockets… imagine.
• scientists faked, hid, altered and ignored any data that proved contrary to their pre-determined research results;
• They did so in order to fraudulently obtain grant money, cash in on the lecture circuit, books, documentaries and eventually business opportunities based on something that does not exist.

And they are no different that our scam artist president who will be traveling to Copenhagen in December to help kick off the global climate talks… about a fairy tale disaster cooked up by our enemies.

All “environmentalism” is a scam and has nothing to do with the environment; it has everything to do with the communizing of the entire world.

Should you encounter GW true believers in the future, please just laugh in their face and move on… you have more important things to do—like getting rid of any elected office-holder who carried the water for this attempt to destroy our economy and way of life.

Remember: If you believe in global warming… you just may be are a moron.

Here’s what American parents have allowed government schools to do to their children:

My daughter came home from school recently with a spring in her step and a song on her lips. With no foreshadowing -- or time to call an exorcist -- out came this chilling refrain:

" . . . You can hear the warning -- GLOBAL WARMING . . . "

By the time her father and I removed our jaws from the floor, we had learned that:

A) All the kids had been coerced into singing this catchy ditty, which we called "The Warming Song," at a concert for parents.

B) Further song lyrics scolded selfish adults (that would be us) for polluting our planet and causing a warming scourge that would, in no short order, kill all the polar bears and threaten the birds and bees.  Read more here:

Speaking of office holders

Sunday, four Lakewood Police Department officers, were conducting a routine pre-shift briefing over their laptops at coffee shop when they were ambushed and shot to death by a sub-human waste of skin, Maurice Clemmons.

The murders took place in Parkland, Wash., near McChord Air Force Base, about 35 miles south of Seattle.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee is responsible is responsible for the massacre because he commuted Clemmon’s 95-year-prison term after only 11 years.

The dead are:

(L-R): Sgt. Mark Renninger, 39, with 13 years of law-enforcement experience, is survived by his wife and three children.

Officer Greg Richards, 42, had eight years of law-enforcement experience, and is survived by his wife and three children.

Officer Tina Griswold, 40, a 14-year veteran officer, is survived by her husband and two children.

Officer Ron Owens, 37, who spent 12 years in law enforcement, is survived by a former wife and a daughter.

Additionally, Clemmons, 37, was recently charged in Pierce County, Wash., in an assault on a police officer and rape of a child, according to law enforcement reports.

Clemmons, though wounded by one of the officers, escape and still eludes authorities.

In 2000, Huckabee commuted Clemmons’ 95-year prison sentence for numerous felonies in Arkansas despite his long and violent criminal history in the state. Clemmons served only 11 years of a the 60-year sentence for burglary and theft of property and was already serving 48 years on five felony convictions and facing up to 95 more years on charges of robbery, theft of property and possessing a handgun on school property.   

The revelation marks the second time Huckabee's clemency decisions have become an issue. During the 2007-2008 presidential campaign, the story of his 1999 grant of clemency to convicted rapist Wayne Dumond, who went on to rape again, was widely reported.

News accounts say Huckabee commuted Clemmons' sentence "over the protests of prosecutors”, citing Clemmons' young age at the time the crimes were committed.

Four widowed spouses and nine children left with only one parent.

What’s Huckabee’s response to this?

The usual political coward’s way out… he wrote:

if Clemmons is found responsible for the murders, "it will be the result of a series of failures in the criminal justice system in both Arkansas and Washington State.”

But not the very man who let him out of the pen?

Huckabee says he loves doing his TV talk show… great, and there he could stay where he only contributes to boring people, not causing their deaths.

Huckabee is complicit in these murders by Clemmons and Dumond and is therefore unfit for any future public office.

Knock-knock… who’s there?

Don’t believe the “White House intruders” Michaele and Tareq Salahi spin… already in its third or fourth cycle.

In my days as a news photographer I covered two presidents—Carter and Reagan—and several candidates for president and party nominations.

In general it went like this: you contact the Secret Service advance team in the city the President will be in; social security number, DOB, press affiliation, “check back at this number in a week”.

Then on the day of the event you show up at a non-descript hotel room and check in with the agent for credentials. It should be routine unless you lied somewhere along the line, or you aren’t who you said you were. 

Press passes around the neck, you go to the press entrance at the venue where you take everything out of your camera bag for examination and you’re told to fire off a couple of frames on each camera.

Then it’s through the metal detectors and on inside.

And that’s just to get within photo range of The Man…. seldom closer than 30-40 yards.

No one is waved through the gate, let alone snags a one-on-one with POTUS by showing up without an invite or a background check (Although I’ll admit you have a better chance if you have an attractive, thin, bleach-blonde walking point.)

There are several scenarios that I don’t care much about right now, but may prove interesting:

• Gate crasher #1, Tareq Salahi, served on the board of the American Task Force for Palestine, where Columbia University Professor Rashid Khalidi served as vice president. The American Power blog noticed both Salahi’s and Khalidi’s names have been scrubbed from the Task Force website, although Salahi’s bio still comes up on a Google cache search of the site. –Via TheRealBrackOabam.com.
• We all remember that Obama was close friends with Khalidi who is a virulent anti-Semite and Israel hater.
• Desiree Rogers, the socialite (very lite) friend of Barry’s who is White House Social Secretary and therefore responsible for vetting the guest list, but is more interested in having her photo taken.

Anyway, this too—just a tiny little footnote—will settle out and more connections will be made directly to the president of the United States and the shadowy world that he was born and raised into politically and the one he’s visited on the White House… The Peoples’ House.

Iceberg…. dead ahead

Plainly stated, the Obama administration is the most corrupt, unethical, 

Strike that.

I almost fell into what I criticize others for: reporting the past.

Barack Obama’s puppet masters are succeeding beyond their wildest dreams…. in one year, a year worthy of any national socialist cabal’s efforts in history, America’s domestic enemies have crashed our economy, made tax slaves of our children and grandchildren, bowed before our sworn enemies, abandoned (and apologized for) our geo-political and military primacy, and have succeeded in shrugging off monumental evidence of sedition and fifth-column villainy.  

We are an office visit away from being sent to prison if we do not enroll in government health insurance.

The death panels absolutely do exist; and federal funding for abortions will be the ever-expanding rule of the day. 

How is that any different from the beginnings of the “Final Solution”? As America’s  first National Socialist president has said:

“Maybe you’re better off not having the surgery, but taking painkillers.“

The cult of personality:

Even the dullest of the citizenry must realize, if not understand, that since his candidacy rooted, Obama’s words, his image, his empty, sophomoric observations (“hope”, “change”) have permeated, saturated our everyday life with the full collaboration of a national news media—the propaganda arm of the Neo National Socialists.

For someone who surfs, writes and listens to the radio or TV much of the day, it is impossible for me to get away from “Dear Leader” Obama, even on Thanksgiving Day weekend.

Earlier today I saw for the umpteenth time the slo-mo NFL commercial Obama running a post pattern against 10-year-olds…. of course it a completion since no one seems to be playing defense. It’s some drivel about “United We Serve” and stars in descending order…Obama and Drew Brees, DeMarcus Ware, and Troy Polamalu and on the surface highlights the importance of fitness for America's children.

If you so believe.

Secondly, last night on my XM Radio “Book Radio” channel someone was reading “The Audacity to Win” by Obama’s 2008 campaign manager David Plouffe.

And there have been frequent re-runs of the propamentry, "By The People: The Election of Barack Obama" the unholy collaboration between Sony Pictures and HBO.

By any accounting, Obama has plugged into the matrix of the American consumer’s national consciousness (not necessarily the voter); it ranges from late night talk shows to hundreds of magazine covers to “the president is taking his wife to dinner” photo ops which are absolutely devoid of substance, but long on image repetition

Recently he was observed carrying around a copy of GQ (right) with himself on the cover; no straight man would be caught dead reading GQ, and in presidential terms this pegs BHO so far below the dignity of the office, I hate even typing this.

(Note the official hajji sandals… name me another CnC who would besmirch the office in this way.)  

But as he would explain: “I’m on the cover; and I’m cool.” 

And of course as the nation’s first Half-Black Paladin, Obama’s card reads: “Have TelePrompTer, will travel”. 

Just seven months in office,Obama gave 114 overall interviews, compared to 37 by George W. Bush and 41 for Bill Clinton at the same point in their terms.

CBS’s Mark Knoller jokes that Obama may be missing some stops on his media train and should consider other cable show options like The Food Network, Animal Planet, and “Dog the Bounty Hunter.”

Well, it’s not a joke. He has time for all this, but not to send reinforcements to our embattled troops in Afghanistan.

Soon we’ll hear more about “Obama fatigue” and some will speculate that his continued 24-7 media blitz hurts him politically in the end.

That’s all wrong. He doesn’t care about how his omnipresence plays in Peoria… it’s not about doing the “correct or savvy” thing. This is about the psychological impact of the image on the masses.

It’s pure Leni Riefenstahl who played a key role in the National Socialist Third Reich.

During the Bolshevik Revolution, the Soviet leaders recognized the power of film to influence social and political attitudes; film production was nationalized in  1917.

"Of all the arts," Vladimir Lenin said," for us, the cinema is the most important."

And later, Stalin would write:

"The cinema is the greatest medium of mass agitation. The task is to take it into our hands." He encouraged state film makers to produce epics that extolled the ‘leader of the Russian people’." 

Not the people… “the leader” of the people.

Need I remind anyone of Obama’s proclivity when on the air to use the first-personal singular far more than any other form of expression. and identification?

Frank Tomasulo, in "The Mass Psychology of Fascist Cinema: Triumph of the Will", writes:

“Leni Riefenstahl ( was coming into prominence in Germany. Her landmark propaganda film, Triumph des Willens ( Triumph of the Will , 1935), still provokes controversy. Commissioned by Chancellor Adolf Hitler, Triumph of the Will was meant to be the official documentation of the Nazi Party Congress of 1934.

“Yet the film also promulgated fascism and the National Socialist Party (NSDAP) as the bases for renewed German nationalism and patriotism. Swastikas, eagles, statuary, Sieg Heil gestures, and children predominate as national metonymies.” (Source: here.)

Children? 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mmmmmm, mmmmm. mmm… Barack… Hussein… Obama!

Within the Nazi propaganda machine, Riefenstahl insisted that Triumph of the Will was not propaganda, and claimed "it is history—pure history ."

 

Interesting how concerned the murderers of millions were about purity.

And if motion pictures are powerful propaganda images, so are the images of movie actors:

You’ll recall this video portrayed a number of empty-headed, leftists actors (pardon the redundancy) literally “pledging”, not to the Constitution, the flag, not

to America, but to “The President”.

Today’s movie/TV industry is filled to the brim with Riefenstahls…. for more than 50 years America’s film community has embrace mass-murderer Fidel Castro while it hates Real American presidents.

This is only the tip of the ice berg of the kind that crushed Europe in the ‘30s-‘40s and closed the Iron Curtain on half the continent a generation before… now it looms just off our port bow.

The question my friends, is not how did we get here, the question is what are we going to do about it, and when?

Courage, sacrifice, leadership and pur-deee American guts

Like anyone else with a brain I get highly irritated when actors and musicians and athletes and some democrat presidents are held up as “heroes”.

Playing an instrument or singing, pretending to be someone else in a movie, playing a game or holding an political office is in no possible way criteria for  heroism.

But… Detroit Lions rookie quarterback Matt Stafford showed me something a few days ago that is seldom seen in today’s society outside emergency personnel, cops, firefighters, and our military… sacrifice, guts and an absolute refusal to give up.

With eight seconds left, on Cleveland's 32, Stafford heaved the ball to the end zone. Interception, game over; Lions lose, 37-31.  

But… a defensive pass interference call in the end zone placed the ball on the 1 with 0:00 on the clock… one last shot.

Back at the line of scrimmage Stafford was on the turf, writhing in pain, downed by a ferocious, but clean hit; he’d been “mic’d” for the game as the NFL does from time to time with players and coaches. He had separated the AC ( articular-clavicular joint) in his shoulder.

Stafford lay on the turf moaning in serious pain, his left arm clutched to his body. Backup Daunte Culpepper was already was on the field when the Browns called a timeout. But as soon as Stafford heard the timeout over the P.A. system, Stafford got up and said to the clutch of coaches and teammates , “I can thrown if you want me to.”

He didn’t wait for an answer; pushing his way though the sideline chaos, he ran to the huddle and again took charge of his team.

As sometime happens in life, the impossible becomes possible.

The teams lined up, Stafford took the snap, which must have hurt like hell; he dropped back and fired a pass to tight end Brandon Pettigrew to tie the game 37-all and a Lions’ PAT moments secured a 38-37 improbable win.

"He made a great play,” said Lions Coach Jim Schwartz, chuckling, “But probably his best play was to elude four team doctors on the sideline.

"You could tell by the look in his eye, nobody was going to stop him from getting on the field. He'd come way too far in that game to not finish it."

And just for contrast:

In a complete surprise move the Lions started Stafford yesterday in the 34-12 loss to Green Bay.

Back-up QB Culpepper didn’t take it well…. in fact he took it like a little girl in the throes of terminal panty twist.

Learning he wouldn’t start, he pouted on the bench like a little bitch instead of joining the team in warm-up drills. Martin Mayhew, Detroit GM, had a “man up” chat with the boy, and he went thought the motions of being a team player.

That’s big of him.

I wudda sent Li’l Daunte home, and started the trade process; I don’t want a any punks playing on my team…  the Motor City has enough problems.

Said Stafford about the amazing win:

"It didn't feel good, but I didn't care," Stafford said afterward, his left shoulder wrapped tightly. "It was one play. I knew I didn't have to play too much. Just one snap and try to throw the touchdown."

This is a treat… have your male children/grand-children watch this and discuss it; the drama starts about 3:45:

And so what? you say.

Well, what I say is that we need to proclaim role models for our kids anywhere we find them.

Stafford just happens to play football.

But so does Culpepper.

Which one do you want your son to emulate?

 

I had a good Thanksgiving with the Sellmans… Senior and Junior. 

Senior provided two brace of pheasant and Junior put the smoker to them. Voila, a tasty and far more traditional Thanksgiving—sorta Jeremiah Johnson--than most folks have.

 

 

Plus… pheasant sandwiches!

Mickie and Karen did all the rest, and I got to play with the dogs….

Sparky, below, Sammy, next, and, Mimi, below, right, were even more thankful than we were… not many canines have pheasant for Thanksgiving dinner.

But that’s how we roll down here at the Southern Command in Texas.

Anyway, a good time was had by all… hope all you faithful readers had the same….

 

 

Again the death angel sings… we stand at 92

By modern standards the only problem with the WWII M1-Garand was its clip’s 8-round capacity… and that Ting!! sound when the bolt locked back after firing the last round, thus alerting the enemy you were outta ammo.

Army Private First Class Alejandro Ruiz knew all this as he lay pinned down by Jap automatic weapons fire coming from a network of concealed bunkers hidden on steep ridges near the village of Gasukuma, Okinawa.

Only he and his squad leader were battle effectives, the remainder of their platoon, dead or wounded.

The 22-year-old from New Mexico needed more firepower; he’d decided to attack the bunker complex. Grabbing a Browning automatic rifle (“BAR”) he calmly walked 35 yards of open ground to the first bunker. He climbed on top and was prepared to fire into it, but a ruptured cartridge jammed the Browning.

Seeing the soldier in the open and essentially unarmed, a Jap soldier charged , and Pfc. Ruiz beat him down with the jammed weapon. Now completely unarmed, he ran back through the grenade explosions and gunfire to his platoon  position, retrieved a second BAR, tested it, grabbed extra ammo and ran ran back top the enemy bunkers.

By now all the Jap gunners realized that Ruiz was the only American threat to them. Firing in unison, the enemies’ rounds found him, wounding him in the leg. Undeterred, and despite his injury, Pfc. Ruiz climb back on top of the pillboxes. spraying bursts of gunfire into the apertures, leaping fro one to the next to deliver devastating fire.

Yesterday Medal of Honor Recipient Alejandro R. Ruiz Sr. was laid to his rest in Napa California, succumbing to congestive heart failure and age, not to the enemy.  He was 85.

He passing on Nov. 23, leaves 92 surviving Medal of Honor Recipients.

He spent the next quarter century in the Army, serving in the Korean War and retiring at the rank of master sergeant in the mid-1960s. He lived for many years in Visalia, Calif., which named a park in his honor, and most recently, he resided at the Veterans Home in Yountville, Calif., near Napa.

Sgt. Ruiz (photo above, right, courtesy of Nick Del Calzo) often recounted the circumstances that led to his Army service. As a teenager working in odd jobs for a cattle farmer in Carlsbad, N.M., he had been tasked to drive a cow to another farm when he became distracted by thoughts of a girlfriend.

The Washington Post reports:

“Sgt. Ruiz often recounted the circumstances that led to his Army service. As a teenager working in odd jobs for a cattle farmer in Carlsbad, N.M., he had been tasked to drive a cow to another farm when he became distracted by thoughts of a girlfriend.

“He drove, with the cow in tow, straight to Barstow, Tex., 122 miles away, to woo the young woman into marrying him. Sgt. Ruiz was detained, and a judge told him that he would either be sent to jail for kidnapping the cow, or he could enlist in the Army to stay out of trouble. He chose the Army.”

Thank God.

My friends, Real Americans, keep the Ruiz family in your thoughts tonight and tomorrow as you give thanks for all you have… it is because of men like Pfc. Ruiz that we sleep safe in warm beds and can awake each morning to freedom.

I am not at liberty to report details, but also please extend your prayers to all our Recipients and other great heroes…. several of them need God’s help at this time.

And today’s heroes face not only a fanatical and suicidal enemy… they have to battle their own government and even their own command structure, as rear-echelon, fat-ass wastes of air add insult to injury.

DATELINE:  The E’ffing Land of E’ffing Oz 

FoxNews reports: Navy SEALs have secretly captured one of the most wanted terrorists in Iraq — the alleged mastermind of the murder and mutilation of four Blackwater USA security guards in Fallujah in 2004.

And three of the SEALs who captured him are now facing criminal charges, sources told FoxNews.com.

The three, all members of the Navy's elite commando unit, have refused non-judicial punishment — called a captain's mast — and have requested a trial by court-martial.

Ahmed Hashim Abed, whom the military code-named "Objective Amber," told investigators he was punched by his captors — and he had the bloody lip to prove it.

Petty Officer Matthew McCabe, a Special Operations Petty Officer Second Class (SO-2), is facing three charges: dereliction of performance of duty for willfully failing to safeguard a detainee, making a false official statement, and assault.

Petty Officer Jonathan Keefe, SO-2, is facing charges of dereliction of performance of duty and making a false official statement.

Petty Officer Julio Huertas, SO-1, faces those same charges and an additional charge of impediment of an investigation.

The three SEALs will be arraigned separately on Dec. 7. Another three SEALs — two officers and an enlisted sailor — have been identified by investigators as witnesses but have not been charged.

FoxNews.com obtained the official handwritten statement from one of the three witnesses given on Sept. 3, hours after Abed was captured and still being held at the SEAL base at Camp Baharia. He was later taken to a cell in the U.S.-operated Green Zone in Baghdad.

I can’t write any more about this insanity… have a good Thanksgiving and remember our veterans who made it all possible.

Southern Command… out.

What’s in a bow…..?

As we’ve noted here before at the Southern Command, a bow is just a bow… unless our Number One Fifth Columnist does it.

Latest American sub-servience seen worldwide and not reported by state-controlled media:

    Obama shows his deference and fealty to fellow communist, Chi-Com Premier Wen Jiabao which amusingly is pronounced: (win jah-bow)

This photo is everywhere, but I cannot find a state-run media story about it.

No doubt angered that Real America was outraged months ago at his groveling before Saudis: Men in Dresses, he has repeated his peasant act several more times that we know of (for all I know, he takes long, soapy showers with these bastards).

Of course it outrages Real America, but the message in this on-going, dog and pony show is to tell you, us…. “I don’t give a damn what you think… I won”.

Be outraged all you want but better yet... take that energy and do something about him, wound him in 2010 by talking to people, especially young people, encourage others to take out their anger at the ballot box, write letters to the editor, start a blog, get your veterans’ organizations off their collective fat asses and take a stand (I’ve got a whole bitch-a-thon on that, coming soon).

Does the above paragraph sound familiar?

It should… the first Americans to take these measures were named Jefferson, Adams, Paine, Washington, Franklin and dozens more whom history neglects.

This is how the Revolution began… because Real Americans don’t bow to anyone.

This is the real outrage:   4 KIAs: Who cares, I shot a 97! 

On Saturday Tigerbama notched his 25th round of golf since Jan. 20, 2009—10 months… that’s 2.5 rounds a month. Or, since Obama likes to blame George Bush for everything: Obama golfed more in nine months than his predecessor did in his last two years in office.   

Obama has double-downed on his links excursions this fall as… the latest deaths of US troops killed in Afghanistan in November rose to 15. October was the deadliest month for U.S. troops in the eight-year war, with 58 dead.

And General Dither has promised to make his Af-Pak battlefield decisions on prime-time TV soon, but not in the War Room, not without TelePrompTer and the TV cams.

What good is it if this war can’t be about him?

And they insist that Nero was insane.

 

Just in time for the holidays:

It seems there is a rag-head holiday named “Eid al-Adha”—apparently related to the holy burying of I.E.D.s by those with attention deficient disorder—and Best Buy, which refuses to use “Merry Christmas” in its advertising, happily trumpets “HAPPY EID al-ADHA” for its Muzzie customers.

When the last time you saw a burka in the Home Theater department?

My infidel friends, if you have a few dollars left now that Obama has destroyed much of our economy…. remember this while CHRISTMAS SHOPPING…

1. cross Best Buy of your list;

2. send their ads back with this: “HAPPY EID al-ADHA”  More here, thanks to WeaselZipper.com

The “useful idiots” here at home (helmet tip again to Big Zip):

The Polish community in the United States is outraged by a plan to honor Josef Stalin by placing his bust on a pedestal at the National D-Day Memorial in Bedford, Virginia.

According to William McIntosh, the director of the Bradford museum, which is coordinating the project, the Soviet dictator deserves to be acknowledged alongside Winston Churchill and Franklin Delano Roosevelt has he was an ally of the US after Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union.

Here’s my take…. Russia was a full partner in the war, tying down Hitler on the Eastern Front which helped England survive, and losing 20 million people to the National Socialists. So acknowledging that truth is appropriate.

And it is likewise appropriate that this truth is prominently displayed as well:

• Stalin's killing machine slaughtered more people than Adolf Hitler and the Nazis did. He enslaved Eastern Europe, including half of Germany and half of Berlin, enabled the eventual erection of the dark symbol of the Iron Curtain with the Berlin Wall, and was responsible for between 30 and 70 million deaths through murder, famine and repression.
• A total of 350,000 "national contingents" (144,000 of them Poles) were arrested and 247,157 (110,000 Poles) were executed.
• Many American communists who emigrated to the Soviet Union during the Great Depression were executed. (Ed. Note: that’s what traitors deserve) 
• Leon Trotsky insisted that that a "river of blood" separated Stalin's regime from that of Lenin.

America, your president is a communist.

You figure it out.
