Picking up the pieces

There may be hope for the three Israeli POWs today as Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, no doubt smarting from widespread criticism for failure to secure their release under UN Resolution 1701, has directed former Shin Bet Deputy Chief Ofer Dekel to work for their release.

Meanwhile Benjamin Netanyahu, leader of the Likud opposition, called a spade a spade during a speech last night before the Knesset, saying, "We were asleep and we received a wake-up call."

Netanyahu said that the "doctrine of unilateral withdrawals had proven to be a failure."

"In 2000, we withdrew from Lebanon without guarantees and without security agreements, and this action brought about Hizbullah's speech about spider webs, which was adopted by Hamas. The resulting Intifada made us decide, out of pain and out of good will, to withdraw unilaterally once more," Netanyahu said.

"These unilateral withdrawals deteriorate our deterrence, and lend credence to our enemies, a credence that improves their ability to bombard our cities and towns. This concept (of unilateral withdrawals) is now disappearing, and rightly so," he added.

Fifth columnist has been Mike Wallace (with an able assist by Rathergate network, CBS) has outdone himself with his fawning, ass-kissing "interview" with Iranian despot Mahmoud Ahmadinewhackjob. There are simply no depths to which this anti-American stooge will not crawl.

However, there are those of us with a very long memory who can recall Wallace's expressed willingness to coldly stand by and see American troops slaughtered.

Back in '87 on PBS (of course) Wallace and other leftist propaganda merchants like the dirt-napping Peter Jennings took part in a "townhall meeting" regarding journalism and the military.

Responding to a hypothetical situation, "Wallace proclaimed that if he were traveling with enemy soldiers he would not warn U.S. soldiers of an impending ambush. 'Don't you have a higher duty as an American citizen to do all you can to save the lives of soldiers rather than this journalistic ethic of reporting fact?', moderator Charles Ogletree Jr. suggested. Without hesitating, Wallace responded: No, you don't have higher duty...you're a reporter." Jennings had already answered, saying he would warn his countrymen, but spinelessly reversed himself after being chided by Wallace.

That's what Wallace and his ilk think of your sons and daughters, America; you just keep watching him and CBS.

That was 20 years ago and I still wouldn't have a problem putting a boot in his 88-year-old throat.

Meanwhile, President Bush, fresh off his political capitulation to Iranbollah, is drooling again. "We live in troubled times, but I'm confident in our capacity to not only protect the homeland, but I'm confident in our capacity to leave behind a better world," he said during a visit to the Pentagon.

"Troubled times"... really? Good gawd, that's worse than the average high school graduation speech. With such inspiring verbiage it's no wonder people watch American Idol instead of him. 

As history moves into its most critical phase in the last 65 years, we are a nation divided by that which would have never been an issue in earlier times. Typical anti-America rhetoric which routinely oozes out of the dem party, for example, would have been unthinkable a half century ago.

The summer soldiers and the sunshine patriots are untrustworthy and our people are lazy and fat, both physically and intellectually. Millions have allowed themselves to be lulled into a fantasy world devoid of organized psychotic murderers in which they believe, like Wallace, that their own country is at fault.

A monumental defeat

The proxy war between Iran and the United States not only didn't go the distance, it was a unanimous victory in Lebanon for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and world wide terrorism.

Tomorrow will add insult to injury as the UN Blue Helmets, fresh off a string of failures throughout the world, and the French (professional international failures) begin to take the middle position between two combatants who will continue to fight. There will be UN casualties and eventually Mr. Koffee Anan's ineptitude will surface once more and the UNIFIL troops will pull out.

Israel didn't even get eye-to-eye before Prime Minister Ehud Olmert blinked. When you say you're going to crush and opponent, you have no other choice than to do so. Olmert failed immediately by not employing the vertical envelopment along the Litani River until far too late. Ten thousand IDF troops should have been filing their canteens from the Litani in the opening minutes of hostilities.

Olmert should be and will be gone soon. The concerns about his liberal background and minimal military experience proved more than valid. Then the "slow and overcautious" leadership of MGen Udi Adam, (far right) lead to his being sacked and replaced by his deputy, MGen. Moshe Kaplinsky, (right). This is a particular embarrassment for the IDF, the fifth largest military in the world, which enjoyed a well-earned reputation with great battle tradition... until this last month.

The critical mistake may be as simple as the fact that Gen. Adam was an armored officer with no experience in the Northern Command, while his successor, MGen. Kaplinsky, comes from an infantry background and extensive combat experience in Lebanon. Tooo little, too late.

This must also be considered as yet another failure of the Bush Administration which actively worked up and signed a UN cease-fire resolution while Israel was still fighting to establish its northernmost reach as hundreds of Hezbollah rockets continued to kill Israeli civilians.

UN Security Council Resolution 1701 hands Hezbollah a political victory on top of its military win. The resolution treats both Israel and the subhuman IslamoNazis as equals by failing to condemn Hezbollah's terrorism and refusing to affirm Israel's right to its self-defense. A disturbing assessment of 1701 is provided by Caroline Glick at Townhall.com.   

The most poignant and least remembered aspect of Israel's backing down is the callous abandonment of its two captured soldiers... the very reason given for the IDF's incursion. The odds are that Ehud Goldwasser, 31, and Eldad Regev, 26, have not survived; it is more than predictable that the subhumans will shrug their shoulders and claim the two soldiers were killed by Israeli bombarbment.

Every aspect of this debacle is a clear victory for Hezbollah and Iran; it is already a rallying point for world wide jihad and will increase tremendously the UN's decades-long, kid glove treatment of terrorism.

This is bad; this is very bad. 

The following assessment by Robert Tracinski was brought to my attention by Jeff NortonDriver. It is an important and chilling preview of the next few months, perhaps a year on the outside. I agree with his estimation that the war is coming and we must heed Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest's urging to "Get there first with the most" before it is too late.

A tipping point

I try to read as much as possible about the obviously fractious decision-making at the top levels of the Israeli government, and I must admit I come away confused. Last night it appeared Prime Minister Ehud Olmert  was going to cave in to some pusillanimous "cease-fire" which to IslamoNazis means, "you cease, we fire."

Just an hour ago Olmert throws it back in gear, and the ground invasion planned for two weeks ago, is now underway. Obviously the man has no idea what it's like to be at the tip of the spear, told to prepare to go over the top, then ordered to stand down and then told to prepare to advance.

Is it any wonder why the universal soldier hates the universal politician?

The latest is from Reuters so, believe it at your own peril:

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert ordered the army to expand its ground offensive into Lebanon on Friday, asserting there was a lack of progress in U.N. talks on a truce, political sources said.

"We said two days ago that we would stop the fire, either militarily or diplomatically," an Israeli political source said. "We see that the ceasefire deal in the U.N. is not making the required progress, and therefore we have authorized the military action."

Obviously Olmert and Defense Minister Amir Peretz are infected with the Falluja Syndrome; FS is what attacked Rummy and Bush and cost the Marines needless casualties they attacked the Falluja stronghold and then within sight of victory, were ordered to pull back. And after giving the ragheads time to reinforce, rearm, resupply and rest, we attacked again, winning a Pyrrhic victory. 

Israel pays in blood daily for calling the ragheads and telling them when and where they will attack, and then for good measure, dropping leaflets telling them to get out.... then they send the IDF to attack a fully-prepared enemy. Just as the top of this page says... we live in a world gone mad.

In light of what happened in the last 48 hours in Great Britain, here is a moving and timely reminder of why we must crush the IslamoNazis. Photojournalist Bill Biggart died on Sept 11 as the second tower came down his posthumous images are a fitting epitaph, not only for him but for almost 3,000 of his fellow citizens.

Early reports about the terrorist plot involving the simultaneous destruction of 10 US-bound airliners from England would have been far worse than 9/11. Immediately the TV talking heads got out their calculators to estimate how many planes would have to go down to surpass our 3,000 killed.

But that isn't the point. Think of the ripple effect. Three planes down every hour for three straight hours... now there's some terror. All non-military aircraft world wide would have been ordered to ground. The US and Great Britain economies would have suffered immediate and initially incalculable damage.

It would have been a tremendous morale boost for every raghead terrorist in the world, and served as a great recruiting tool for every young Muslim male to the Islamic Death Cult.   

The globe would have come to a virtual standstill.

In the face of such a calamity what would have been the US reaction? That... not the terrorist attack... is what keeps me awake at night.

We must cut the head off the snake and the reptile lives in Iran.

It's the liquids! He hates the liquids; stay away from the liquids!

  How's that vote look to ya now Connecticut?

Had it not been for Britain's MI-5 and its quality intelligence work, I wonder what your fair-haired, cut-and-run socialist coward Ned Lamont's statement would this morning.

A quick Google produced absolutely nothing regarding him and the mass murder plot. In fact, I didn't come up with any comments on England's home-grown terrorist plan by Harry Reid and his antiwar fellow travelers.

Probably something like, "I am pleased that these alleged, possible students who are British subjects are to be questioned. But I am very concerned that all the rights they have under our Constitution are protected and that the ACLU will represent them."   

Faithful reader Jeff NortonRider said it pretty well just now... "Who is for aggressive and secret initiatives to monitor terrorist groups and suspects, trace their finances, interrogate captured combatants thoroughly and detain combatants as long as necessary?

"Wow, quite a lot of hands today - even in Connecticut. Thank you.

"And who is for prohibiting all the above, and revealing as much as possible about what intelligence and covert initiatives we have underway, because the public (and, oh, yes, our enemies, too) have a
right to know?

"Ned Lamont, thank you. Mr. Sulzberger and Mr. Keller, thank you, as well. The gentlemen and gentlewomen from the ACLU, Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International. Gov. Dean, Mr. Moore, Ms. Sheehan, Mr. Baldwin — loved you on Saturday Night Live! — thank you all so much."

Unfortunately for Brits (remember that England is the preferred home away from home for IslamoNazis) there's also this from the UK's highest-ranking Muslim policeman is crying racism (of course): Assistant Commissioner Tarique Ghaffur said a few days ago that Islamophobia is creating a generation of angry young people vulnerable to extremism.

He told a national Black Police Association Conference that anti-terrorist laws were "discriminating against Muslims and eroding the trust of the Asian community in British policing. He's calling for an independent judicial enquiry into the radicalisation of young British Muslims in the wake of the London bombings last year."

Did you catch the code word? Now Iranians, Pakistanis, Iraqis, and Saudis, et al, who kill babies are from the "Asian Community." Fits right nice with "undocumented workers", 'eh.

Meanwhile the FBI, the nation's most inept law enforcement agency were it not for the Alcohol, Firearms and Tobacco numbnuts, has announced that two of our 11 missing Egyptians "students" who got here on airliners with student visas and immediately hit the ground running, have turned themselves in.

Quick! what paperwork was used by the 9/11 IslamoNazis to easily enter the U.S.? 

This is the kind of solid cop work that allowed Unabomber Ted Kozinski to get away with his fun and games for 18 years. 

"We have no indication that these individuals posed a terror or criminal threat," said FBI Special Agent Richard Kolko. "In the post-9/11 world, the U.S. government works very hard to connect all the dots. There is nothing wrong with these guys. It's just an abundance of caution."

Okaaay... so where are the other eight? (A third was arrested today in Minneapolis.) So Kolko knows all of them are innocent, not a threat... despite having broken federal law the instant they arrived? All this courtesy of the same people who brought you Ruby Ridge.

This jest in: Apparently Very Special Agent Kolko just read the advisory on something happening in London....

Three more of the 11 AWOL Egyptian students are now in custody, according to Fox News. One was reportedly "lost" in Minnesota, two surrendered to authorities in New Jersey and another two were thought to have been apprehended in New York.

Now the FBI is warning that if you spot any one of the five still at large, "Approach with caution."

So, if one of them takes a box cutter for your family, please refer all media inquiries to Triple Special Agent Kolko.

And to come all the way full circle...  after the Brits foiled the terrorists' plan to blow thousands of people out of the North Atlantic skies with liquid explosives today, our Homeland Security ijits--who refuse to stop Middle Easterners from entering our country--immediately responded by banning liquids on airliners.

Well, you gotta admit that it's in keeping with our government's plan to keep dangerous things off planes, not dangerous people.

When hundreds more of us die (and it will be soon) it will be as much the fault of our own appalling lack of war preparation as it is ragheads with detonators. 

Pop! go the Weasels

This is always a great time of year for me. Sixty-one years ago... poof! and just like that the Japs were on their knees the worst war in history ended.

We ended it.

I missed the first Big Party by three years but that doesn't stop me from celebrating Fat Man today and Little Boy two days ago.

Those were the days; an era when we knew how to fight and end a war... start to finish about three and a half years.

Malone had it right: "You wanna know how you do it? Here's how, they pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. That's the Chicago way."

It used to be the American way....

As faithful reader Sgt. Deuce pointed out the other day that like our world-wide enemies today, the Japs were great ones for beheading us infidels and turning Allied POWS into living surgical lessons for their medics who practiced their rudimentary skills... often without anesthesia.

Those of our young men who survived the inhuman procedure, near death from blood loss, shock, and the unimaginable torture, were simply taken outside and executed, or worse, buried alive.

And today the Sons and Daughters of Nippon have the gall to condemn us and the audacity to insist they were victims. But... you'll notice that the bastards have been awfully polite for the last six decades.

Yeah, we bitch slapped them back to the Stone Age. I wish we hadn't run out of nukes.

Those were the days of real political leadership... Churchill and FDR; and warriors like Nimitz, Halsey, Vandegrift, LeMay and MacArthur; men--damn it, who didn't have to check with a bunch of g-damned attorneys before fighting a war for our survival.

On this day in particular we should all be ashamed that we have lost our national resolve to even protect ourselves and avenge our dead. Yes, we've stood "on the shoulders of giants"... we should be embarrassed that future generations will stand on the shoulders of midgets.

More Good News: Georgia imbecile Cynthia McKinney, an embarrassment to blacks, Congress, America and hair stylists the world over, was fired last night. Don't fret though, she'll always have a job waiting for her on cable TV as a talking head.

Perhaps someone will finally dart her and get our out of D.C.

The Joe-mentum is taking the good senator to Independence... not Missouri, but a new political path. Lieberman was ousted in his primary by a hard core left wing clone brought to us from the labs of MoveOn.org and George Soros.

In a word, he was purged...just likr the old, hard line Soviet commies did with regularity for a half century.

There's virtually no chance a Republican can take Lieberman's seat given the estimated 22 percent of registered GOP voters in Connecticut, but these big piece of the electoral pie is the independent slice... 44 percent. Lieberman will keep his seat and he'll continue to be a liberal who sold his soul to Algore for the second spot in 2000, but personally you gotta cheer for him to rub it in faces of Screamin' Howie Dean's and Hillary!.

This is another nail in the democrat party coffin. Ninety percent leftie isn't enough for the dems; all candidates are expected to hate Bush and America completely, any wavering in this and you risk sabotage of your campaign and ethic slurs... both of which were directed at Lieberman.

The dems are now officially the anti-war party, still suffering from being stuck in the Sixties. Like the ole boy said... if your opponent is committing suicide, it's best not to get in his way.

Chicks with Guns... Initially I thought that LindsayLohan was a prescription drug, but it turns out Lohan is a young, bimbo actress.

But! There may be hope...she's headed for Iraq to "entertain the troops." Now that's debatable, but good on her. More importantly, she's going strapped: 

"My security guard is going to take me to a gun range… and I'm going to start taking shooting lessons," Lohan said.

"He says if I'm going to go there (Iraq) I should really know how to shoot."

Didn't she get the Screen Actors Guild memo...: "Terrorists good. Guns bad."?

One Picture can be Worth a Thousand Weapons

If Fox New reporter Trace Gallagher's actions yesterday were not so despicable, it would be funny... sort of like some idiot city dweller who buys a antique tractor by waving to a friend during a farm auction.

While anchoring his "Studio B Weekend" program Sunday afternoon from the Israeli-Lebanese border, Gallagher was just brimming with pride that his cameraman had earlier received a tip that "Katyushas will be fired at 3:45 p.m." The tip came at 3:30 p.m.

So what does an American reporter do when he has credible information that Israel, his country's war-time ally, is about to be attacked and that attack will be directed at civilians? Does he:

1). Immediately contact the IDF and give them complete information, including the name, address, phone number and helmet size of whomever conveyed that information.

2). Immediately contact Israeli civil authorities in the target area to warn citizens to take cover.

3). Run to the roof and train his cameras on the exact spot from which the deadly rockets will be launched.

You got it... the bastard went with No. 3.

Gallagher was so proud of himself for taking video of a rocket attack on the helpless that he neglected to cover the rest of the story... the number of Israelis killed or wounded by his complete lack of compassion and patriotism.   

And these jackals cannot understand why they're hated as much as lawyers.

This just in from Reuters... your friendly leftist, anti-Semitic new agency. The faked news photo story is expanding... just lift the rock and see what scurries out. Like CBS, the NY Times, and all the rest, they've been caught faking the news to favor the terrorists. Truth is they do this all the time, but common sense citizen journalists of the blogosphere are ever vigilant in exposing their agitprop efforts.

Above is another Reuter's manipulated photo by the now fired Adnan Hajj, the photographer (and no doubt Hezbollah operative) who sent the altered image, was also the Reuters photographer behind many of the images from Qana – which have also been the subject of suspicions for being staged. The cutline for the photo claimed this is a photograph of an Israeli F-16 fighter jet firing "missiles during an air strike on Nabatiyeh."

Any idiot can immediately see that this a very crude PhotoShop forgery. First, these aren't rockets, but defensive flares to confuse heat seeking Hezbo SAMs. Secondly, the left and center "missiles" are duplicates; third, the flares are too close together... obviously these counter measures are timed to spread out behind the fighter, not ineffectively clumped together as shown. And lastly, the little "dashes" below the flares are poorly PhotoShopped attempts to convince the average reader he's looking at incoming "bombs"... again the duplications are obvious.

Caught red-handed, Reuters swelled up with faux journalistic ethics, apologies, promises and fired Hajj, who was employed for 11 years. Bull. These photos went world wide because Reuters believed we are too stupid to recognize a blatant forgery. Here's a full story on Hajj's nefarious efforts.

Here's the even more interesting story about Abdel Qader (aka) Green Helmet Guy who seemed to show up everywhere around Qana and elsewhere, carrying corpses of children as photo props... perhaps for Hajj The Photographer.

A great overall story on GHG is offered by Ace of Spades HQ and numerous incriminating pics of the omnipresent "rescue worker" Qader over at EU Referendum.com and EU's damning earlier coverage.

Great job all around by the good guys--including Little Green Footballs as usual which helped bring down CBS and Dan Rather; where are the main stream media in all this???? Complicit, that's where.

Bottom line... these bloody wogs are despicable... killing the innocent is bad enough, but parading around dead babies as corpse-props guarantees you a great little fixer-upper in the Seventh Level of Christian Hell, the rat bastard pukes.

Don't underestimate the rag's propaganda machine... not as sophisticated as the Nazis, but Welcome to Pallywood! That's the nickname given the fake video "news" produced by the Palestinian Authority; here's a damning video report proving what is so eagerly vomited back to you nightly by the MSM news is nothing more than terrorist propaganda. The link is YouTube... so you must register to see it, but it will open your eyes.

So... there you have it... like the well-know mushroom, you are kept in the dark and fed bull while your enemies, foreign and domestic, wait for the fight to go out of you as they sharpen their knives.

Death to them all.

Rapid fire....

For the better part of a month I've seen the TV news weasels report on Israeli's incursion of Lebanon in exactly the same way they cover high winds in a hurricane... like silly, myopic teenagers (pardon the redundancy).

"Over 70 rockets slam into North Israel -- in under an hour..."  Net result?... 80 injured and no one killed.

Dumbasses Shep Smith, Andy Cooper or some other bimbo in a flack jacket run excitedly to a six inch deep hole in the pavement and motion the cameraman closer.... "Here's the actual impact of the Katyusha rocket!"

The word Katyusha may itself be biggest example of poor reporting... every Tom, Dick and Harry with a press card gravely intones about the 12 mile reach of "The Katyushas."  They believe that this gives them some sort of foxhole cred. I can't wait until they discover (aned incessantly report on) the 9K111 Fagot -- the Hez anti-tank rocket.

If a reporter had asked me 40 years ago to show him an actual impact area of an actual 122mm rocket in the "Rocket Belt" area near DaNang, I'd have told him to get out of the sun and leave me alone.

Same with the 24-7 dead baby footage. That's not reporting, it's the "if it bleeds, it leads" mentality that allows some of the dumbest people on the planet to report the news to you.

Above is an actual rocket creating an actual cloud of smoke... thank you TV journo-Americans. But for us adults, the real story about the Hezbo rockets is their being fired from the relative safety of civilian housing, like the photos from that Aussie paper proved earlier this week. That story lasted about 36 hours, but "hey, did you see the latest Katyusha pothole? Follow me!"

It's the same reporting that dutifully informs us that there are military casualties in a yes, violent, war. I was told by Fox News last week that the IDF had suffered horrible casualties in a mission into Lebanon. I listen hard.... yes, eight solders were killed. The bitter battle, I was told, lasted an entire day.

Wow. And how about this... breathless lead-in: "More violence today in Lebanon (Iraq, Afghanistan, Filintheblankistan)"

Really? Violence in a war... gee, if only I'd known.

Any chance that perspective will show itself any time soon?

The leftist media slants coverage of terrorism every day... a Jew hatred story?  They overwhelmingly go for the drunken ravings of an actor and virtually ignore murder in the mass casualty shooting at the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle by Naveed Haq. Investigators report that they have no reason for the shooting, but somehow they know it isn't anti-Semitic, IslamoNazi terrorism. Only on the Left Coast.

The loss of life within the ranks of our Israeli army allies is indeed sad, but the news media's incessant micro-reporting on the irrelevant and very little else, does just what it is intended to do... it creates a false image of the war and narrows the view to little more than the breaking news that people die when in close proximity to explosives.

And gosh, it must now be what, DAY 28 !!!! in this war? Twenty babies, 120 rockets, 11 days, three soldiers... 1,857 battle dressings...and a partridge in a pear tree. Now what have you learned from this reporting?

Meanwhile where are the stories on how Hez fighters force civilians to remain in areas which serve as rocket launch sites so they will be killed in the Israeli counter-fire, and this a "massacre" has occurred.

Just who were the 25,000 "Americans" in Lebanon and what exactly what are their politics?    

Is it possible to do any stories on the Israeli civilian casualties which are virtually 100 percent attributable to intentional Hezbo rocket barrages? How about a story on the difference between those bastards and the IDF which drops leaflets and even places warning phone calls directly to Lebanese households.

How is it then that Lebanese non-combatants still die in pre-announced IDF attacks? Where's that story?

Why do reporters echo our enemies' (foreign and domestic) demand that Israel is somehow unfair... using "disproportionate" violence (there's that word again) in fighting the Hezbos.

Perspective, damn it:

Back in 1982 the IDF killed between 6,000 and 10,000 Lebanese and Palestinians in the first week! Now, after three weeks of fighting, about 700 Lebanese civilians and more than 300 Hezbollah men have been killed. In 1982 Israel almost provoked Syria into the war; obviously that's not happening this time around.

How about a story on just how much the left media is in bed with the enemy... try this flashback from Debbie Schlussel:

"As we reported here, just as "Palestine Pete" Peter Jennings "dated" (euphemism) Palestinian supermodel Hanan Ashrawi, Brown "dated" (euphemism?) slimy Saudi spokesman and Islamist apologist Adel Al-Jubeir. Reportedly, she even jaunted to Saudi Arabia with him. And, like Jennings, her "dating" situation clouded her reporting.

"Showbiz insider website TMZ.com reports that if NBC "Today" hostess Katie Couric leaves the show, Campbell Brown is the leading candidate to become new host of the "Today Show."

Didn't know this didja?

Based on nothing more than solid news judgement, I could cut 24-hour TV news down to two hours in the morning and two in the evening and I would have given you far more valuable information than these Max Factored idiots can in a month.

A mother's love... and responsibility

This is speciffically for mothers; Dads may go out on the patio and drink a beer. The smoking lamp is lit.

Now... the following is about your responsibility for your son's survival.

Mother, this is about saving your son's life... nothing else. There was a time when this admonition would have been unnecessary and superfluous... as in... "so..... ?"

Now, in this raging world, it is more than necessary, it's imperative.

Despite the fact that he is three or seven or 14, your son will soon enter military service and his life will depend on many things. His training in the marital arts will be in the hands of others... not yours. His father, I hope to God, has or will do his job. If he doesn't have a father, you find him a male influence. How to choose you ask? Easy... you find a man 27 or 60 who (not whom in this context) you trust, who makes your feel safe and is confident, strong in his convictions and someone you know in your heart would defend you if the chips were down.

That man.

First, regardless of his age, stop mollycodding you son right now. I mean it. Stop treating him like a louder version of your daughter, your niece, your neighbor’s girls… yourself. He is not a more rambunctious form of girl which you hope will settle down, damnit… he is a male, an American male. He, your little boy, will in part be the difference in whether we survive as a culture, as a nation.

g

Thirty years of feminist indoctrination damned near ruined our nation... we're now in a rebuilding program.

The barbarians are at the gate.

Next... get it out of your head that your child is "special" and therefore somehow exempt from the heavy lifting. If you really believe he's special, then start him along the road to Force Recon, Special Forces or SEALs.

The destiny of the nation will eventually rest personally on his shoulders... the least you can do is help equip him with the proper tools, and get out of his way.

Get him the g-damnedhell out of soccer with it's fake injuries and little red cards and its faggotty European influence. Your kid... YOUR Kid... needs a bloody nose. Best place to get one is the boxing ring or the gridiron. See to it.

Tell him his dumbass girl friend is an unnecessary distraction... someone who will make him weak. There's too much on the table for him to be sidetracked by the frivolous and ridiculous. There's a drill instructor out there somewhere who will thank you from the bottom of his heart. Your son will thank you for his survival.

Stop the damned TV, video games and the junk food... stop the gay text messaging crap and give him chores to do at home; he should have been doing them anyway. You don't carry a grocery bag, you don't make his rack, you don't pick up after him. He does his own damned laundry and his gets a job outside the home... tomorrow, if not tonight.

He needs to go to bed tired as hell and wake up hungry... and you need to be right there in the kitchen at 7 a.m. with six pancakes, three eggs, some sausage and a half gallon of milk... get him some damned coffee... black.

You tell him you're counting on him and the family counts on him. It's different coming from you as opposed to his Dad or his coach. Men will do whatever it takes to protect women, home and hearth, the weak. It's you job to tell him this is his legacy, his duty... it is his honor, his country.

Set him apart. Tell him he is different from his soft, weak, gender-confused friends. The last thing he needs is hair products, expensive clothes and an emphasis on some piece of crap, left-wing college where he will waste his time and your money.

What he needs is trigger time.

If there are no firearms in the house... find a house that has some and tell the man, father, fireman, cop that you want little Johnny boy to learn about target fixation, sight alignment and "double taps." Twice a week at the range... minimum. If he needs money for ammo, you give him a $20.

Too loud, too scary?.... bull; that's you talking female crap. He'll love it.

Have him start reading (at least watch the damned videos or the Military Channel) about Teddy Roosevelt, Patton, U.S. Grant, Chesty Puller, Tarawa, the Battle of the Bulge, Wake Island...yes, it was indeed a "Magnificent Fight", the Alamo... because this is his heritage... not yours. If he hasn't learned it by now, you make him.

Put him in positions that prove to him that he can do more, go farther, worker harder, be stronger than he ever thought. He would rather disappoint his father than you... use that to your advantage... and his.

Lastly, you tell him that soldiering is an honorable profession. Soldiers protect the weak and vanquish our enemies. To kill in the name of your country is honorable. And if you must die for your country... there is no higher calling; there is no better sacrifice.

Such encouragement, given lovingly with reverance and pride.... will improve his chance of survival.

So... I thank you. My Mother (May God bless her memory) thanks you.

With his help.... and yours, we will defeat our enemies.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and with your son.

Die, cabron

I'm not a physician per se, but I have watched numerous hours of emergency medicine and meatball surgery on TV... including "Dr. 90102", and it is my considered opinion that El Jefe de Cuba immediately be administered a half pint of cumidin, stat. 

Yes, Fidel is out of gut surgery and has a kneeling eight-count; so he got past the first hurdle, but look on the bright side---there's always post-op complications, uncontrolled bleeding, stroke and infection. Then during the recovery phase we can pull for pneumonia--- "the old man's friend."

You know you're headed for Hades when normal, God-fearing, Catholic Cuban exiles burst forth in spontaneous celebration and parades when news reaches them that you've got one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel.

Castro has been little more than a footnote to history since the end of the Cold War (except to Cubans both here and there), but it'll be so good to see the mass-murdering rat-bastard dead and democracy return to the island so that we regain our nifty little vacation spot only 90 miles off the FLA coast.

Plus, there's that nice little boost in sugar and cigar futures... and major league baseball.

Then... give all the entire Mexican immigration quota to Cuba; they know how to vote.

Check with fellow kafir Patrick over at Clarity & Resolve regarding a chilling story you didn't know about if you limit yourself to the dinosaur US news media... scroll down to: News From the Dark Side of the MSM Moon.

Another find by Pat: a survey of Indonesian Muslims indicates what seems to be a consistent tendency toward violence in the name of the "Religion of Peace" across national, cultural and geographic boundaries. IslamoNazi recruiters will never have difficulty meeting their goals in Indonesia, or anywhere else for that matter.

A French language Lebanese magazine, citing unnamed sources within Hezbollah claims "that the organization placed a rocket launcher on the roof of the notorious building in Qana to provoke an Israeli attack and brought invalid children inside to serve as victims and blacken Israel's name."

The resultant IAF air strike directed at the rocket launchers several days ago, allegedly killed 54, including many children.

But hide in the weeds on the Qana story... more holes continue to surface... seems the Leb Red Cross reports only 28 bodies, not 54.

The MSM talking heads routinely intone that Israel may be winning the war, but the ragheads are winning the propaganda war. This is made possible by anti-Semitism and an uncaring public (especially American) with all the savvy and attention span of an eighth grade cheerleader.

If anyone within the sound of this keyboard doubts that these subhuman wastes of skin would commit such cynical atrocities on the people of Lebanon, you better get your head in the game. Wahcha gonna do when they come for you?

Ellen W. Horowitz, on the other hand, at Israel Insider is a realist... she has to be, she lives on the Golan Heights:

"The hardest lesson for us Jews to absorb is that "those who are kind to the cruel end up being cruel to the innocent". The innocent in this case are not the residents of Qana, who proudly display the portrait of Nasrallah in their homes and allow terrorists to dwell in their midst; but rather it's the citizens of the State of Israel who may have to absorb brutal and tragic consequences resulting from their government's indecision and capitulation."

France is stomping around like some Frog version of Georgie Patton about how it will lead the peace-keeping forces in Lebanon.

But the NY Sun reports: "France, which is expected to lead the multinational force to deploy in south Lebanon once the war is over, yesterday nixed a British-American idea to convene a meeting of countries who might contribute troops to Lebanon. "It is too early, too adventurous," said one French diplomat. "It could even be counterproductive."

Besides, the Frogs are on record as wanting a Muslim country to participate... now there's an idea.

(You can't make this stuff up....)

Nothing has changed in the land of the blanc flag since 2004 when Jean-David Levitte, French ambassador to the United States, argued that there was no reason to put Hezbollah on the European Union’s terrorist list, and called it "mostly a social" organization.

Yeah, and a Napoleon is just a pastry.
