West is best… Obama brought global warming to the east coast

E’ffing rat bastards.

US Airways.

Like everyone I try to get the cheapest flights I can get… why should I pay a premium to be abused and tortured?

So I check in for the 3:15 to Phoenix en route to Portland planning to check one bag which I seldom do… but I’m carrying presents.

“That will be $26,” says Alejandero.

For one bag about 30 pounds?

It’s not his fault, I imagine he gets tired of hearing the hurrumphs about “airway robbery”…. besides, I’m on a lot of meds and I just don’t care much anymore.

Yeah, yeah, I’m sure that somewhere on their website US air proclaims its bag fee… but they sure as hell don’t mention that when you’re processing  the reservation.

If it’s oh-so necessary in these “hard times” to charge a ransom for your clothes, then how does Southwest fly bags for free?

I”d steal more miniature bags of peanuts, but I doubt US Air has any.

They didn’t…. but they had room for $7 drinks.

Valley of the Sun on time… 45 minutes till wheels up to Portland.

Lots of soldiers and Air Force… good-looking, bright young kids… love to talk with these Real Americans.

Sadly, the storm on the Eastern seaboard screwed at lot of Christmas and leave plans as many flights were CX’ed at DFW.

If Phoenix, Atlanta and DIA can have free WiFi… what can’t all airports.

Wait….. then they’d just charge more for the bags.

I don’t remember this welcome in 1969… the kid should cheer up a bit.

 

Epic fail!

The greatest speaker who ever spake sure wowed the world in “Hopenhagen” with the incredible imagery of phrases like:

• “The time for talk is over”
• "time for action, not words,"
• "we should live in the future, not the past"

And… he searched and searched until he could find someone to bow to… not his usual lick-the-shoes bow that he reserves for our greatest enemies, and not the head-bob his mouth-breathers insist was a “stumble” or perhaps a “weather balloon”—somewhere in-between.  

And there is more good news from Jake Tapper—the only reporter left in the state-run network TV news-: Oh my- White House sounding resigned to defeat in Copenhagen

Breaking: Breaking: India, China walk out of Copenhagen. A much-need wooden stake has been drive into the heart of the Enviro-idiots and their attempt to destroy America.

In honor of this moment-to-be-cherished here’s The Goracle reading his “poem” which was obviously inspired by a a 15-year-old sophomore chick.

And quote for the day goes to Ralph Nader (the 1960s hysterical liar who succeeded in destroying a perfectly reasonable and safe U.S. automobile.. the Chevy Corvair):

“This is what I meant a year ago when I said the next year will determine whether Barack Obama will be an Uncle Tom groveling before the demands of the corporations.”

My good friend from the Mystic East, Jeff The Norton Driver, said this morning, “… I have been appalled by congress for years. My disgust is plumbing new depths on so many fronts. But it has become more than disgusting. It is now dangerous. The chickens will come home to pay the piper.”

The Senate is case-in-point. This must have been what Romans thought as Nero made his horse a senator... Minnesotans made one of a ass.

The world at large has indeed become theater of the absurd.... Tony Blair ran away to join the circus in Copenhagen yesterday and promptly announced:

“It is said that the science around climate change is not as certain as its proponents allege. It doesn’t need to be.”

Saying that the global warming science (sic) “might not be certain” when it has been wholly fabricated, faked and merely a facade for the greatest Ponzi scheme in history is akin to saying that Sen. Babs Boxer is “dumber than a post.”

Yet here is Britain’s former PM saying “don’t bother me with the truth, I have my mind made up.”

And to think I once considered him sane.

ENOUGH!

Let us reflect on the best and brightest. This comes from one of the leading milblogs on the net—Blackfive—which posts a regular feature: Someone You Should Know; it contains accounts of courage and sacrifice by our troops.

Marine Lance Cpl. Richard S. Weinmaster has entered the honored realm of our greatest heroes:

In the heat of an ambush in Afghanistan's most lawless province, 19-year-old Lance Cpl. Richard S. Weinmaster threw himself in front of a grenade to shield other marines in his platoon.
Weinmaster was critically wounded by the blast.

But the bloodied Nebraska native stayed in the fight, firing his machine at the enemy position until he collapsed from his wounds.

Looking back at the July 8, 2008, engagement, Weinmaster says,"I didn't do anything special. Everyone on my left and right would have done the same thing. I was just in the right place at the right time."

For extraordinary heroism while serving as automatic rifleman, Weinmaster was awarded the Navy Cross.

For comparison, here’s another young American….

            "I Pledge to be of service to our president."

The worst of humans, the best of animals

While I’m not a fiction writer, I think I could adequately acquit myself due to a decent imagination.

However… I would never have come up with the following:

“White House officials are disputing an allegation making the rounds in conservative media outlets that a White House official threatened Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb., that if he doesn't support Democratic health care reform legislation, Nebraska's Offutt Air Force Base will end up on the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) list.

“White House communications director Dan Pfeiffer said in a statement issued Wednesday night that the ‘rumor is absolutely false, as the people spreading it well know. This is nothing but a cynical, crass political game that is designed to maintain the status quo’."

My friends, Offutt is not simply an Air Force base… it is perhaps THE military U.S. base. 

Why is it in Nebraska…. c’mon, put on yer war caps; because it’s as far as you can get from missiles fired from Russian and China.

• President Bush was taken to the Offutt Strategic Command Underground Command Center’s underground bunker designed to withstand a nuclear blast after  9/11. From this location he received the latest intel and prepared for the coming war.
• It is  headquarters to the  U.S. Strategic Command,  Air Force Weather Agency, and the 55th Wing of the Air Combat command.
• It is home to all branches—approximately 10,000 military and federal employees are assigned.
• Offutt is also home to 14,232 military dependants, 25,500 military retirees (4-state area) 3,000 civilian employees and 500 reservists.

Yes, Real Americans, the Fifth-Columnist President has threatened to close America’s most important base and crush our national defense to strong arm an elected member of Congress for not supporting ObamaCare.

And speaking of the air war… Newsweek reports that the Commander-in-Chief who finds the “victorious” attitude of our military distasteful is now highly concerned about “… firing (drone) missiles into urban areas like Quetta, where intelligence reports suggest that Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar and other high-level militants have sometimes taken shelter, would greatly increase the risk of civilian casualties.”

It’s even obvious to a third grader how stupid and suicidal this is, and he probably already knows that Obama’s ROE (rules of engagement) prevent our soldiers and Marines from engaging the sub-humans in villages and especially in mosques. ( HotAir.com reports.)

So Johnny, where might we find the aforementioned IslamoNazis? 

And speaking of where homicidal wastes-of-skin can most easily be found, there is this—a five-story building two blocks north of the World Trade Center site, now houses a Muslim prayer space. The building housed a retail business until Sept. 11, 2001, but had been vacant since, until a group of Muslims bought it in July:

“But for months now, out of the public eye, an iron gate rises every Friday afternoon, and with the outside rumblings of construction at ground zero as a backdrop, hundreds of Muslims crowd inside, facing Mecca in prayer and listening to their imam read in Arabic from the Koran.

“The building has no sign that hints at its use as a Muslim prayer space, but these modest beginnings point to a far grander vision: an Islamic center near the city’s most hallowed piece of land that would stand as one of ground zero’s more unexpected and striking neighbors.

“The location was precisely a key selling point for the group of Muslims who bought the building in July. A presence so close to the World Trade Center, “where a piece of the wreckage fell,” said Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, the cleric leading the project, “sends the opposite statement to what happened on 9/11.”

Jed Babbin of National Review online reports that one of America’s best somehow slipped past the nation’s attention for his bravery in a combat zone….  by fighting his superior officers:

While serving in Iraq in 2003 artillery commander LtCol. Allen West was in charge of interrogating and Iraqi police officer suspected of having information about planned attacks on American forces.

Local informants told West he was specifically targeted for assassination and fingered the double-agent who was uncooperative. West took a few of his men to the interrogation area to see for himself, where he found the prisoner being questioned by two female officers. They told him the man “was belligerent, and wasn't giving them any information.”

Aren’t you shocked, shocked that chicks questioning ragheads doesn’t work?

West, obviously a throw-back to WWII, sat across from the man, and after about 20 more minutes of useless questioning , West grabbed the man, held him down near a box full of sand used to discharge jammed weapons, and threatened to shoot him at the count of five.

No response.

West held the man down, counted to five, and then fired his pistol into the discharging box about a foot from the Iraqi's head.

He began talking… quickly. Over the next few minutes, the prisoner gave very specific information, he named the conspirators, gave times and dates of the assassination plan, and even described how attacks would be made. Lives were saved.

West immediately went to his commanding officer, woke him up and told him what he had done, and about the information he'd gotten from the Iraqi.

Everything went up the chain-of-command.

West, just short of 20 years’ service, was charged with violating UCMJ articles 128 (assault) and 134 (general article) and was in danger of receiving an 11 year prison sentence, dismissal, and losing his retirement benefits. West was

Processed through an Article 32 hearing, he admitted wrongdoing, was fined $5,000 over two months for misconduct and assault. He then submitted his resignation, and was allowed to retire with full benefits in the summer of 2004.

Almost 100 members of Congress signed letters urging full retirement for the career solider.

After the ordeal West said: “I stand by my actions and those of far more courageous men and women who understand the commitment to protect the American people. I made a simple statement at my Article 32 hearing when asked if I would take the same action again, ‘If it is about the safety and lives of my men, I would go through hell with a gasoline can’.

Man’s best friend

And now a great dog story… I’ve been aware of the wonderfully named Faith… a Lab-chow mix who is one of God’s greatest creatures and has done more for humans than most humans.

AP reports:

Born without front legs to a junkyard dog around Christmas 2002, Faith the puppy was rejected and abused by her mother. She was rescued by Reuben Stringfellow, now an Army E-4 specialist, who had been asked to bury other puppies in the litter.

Jude Stringfellow immediately took in the happy puppy who always wanted to play despite her initially ability to walk; she persisted until, amazingly, she simply rose on her hind legs and never looked back. 

Stringfellow will never forget a woman from New York who happened to see Faith on a street corner. The woman was depressed and had lost both legs to diabetes.

"She was in her wheelchair and saw us. She was crying. She had seen Faith on television. She just held her and said she wished she had that kind of courage." Stringfellow said. "She told us: 'I was on my way to pick up the gun.' She handed the pawn ticket to a police officer and said she didn't need it anymore."

Faith is now helping our troops. Last weekend she headed to Washington state, where she met with as many as 5,000 soldiers at McChord Air Force Base and Fort Lewis. Some of the soldiers were headed to war, some were coming back, some with disabilities.

"She just walks around barking and laughing and excited to see them all," Jude Stringfellow said. "There is a lot of crying, pointing and surprise. From those who have lost friends or limbs, there can be silence. Some will shake my hand and thank me, some will pat her on the head. There is a lot of quiet, heartfelt, really deep emotion."

But Faith's most emotional reunion — with Reuben Stringfellow, who rescued her 7 years ago this Christmas — will have to wait for January. He's already gotten Faith a birthday present: a peanut butter cookie with her name on it.

For more great pictures like these go to Faith’s website. If you are so money send a few dollars of buy a book or two to support this noble dog.

And here she is in action:

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.   

Perhaps…. your opinion about this matter may be of interest to them at:

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

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.

The reason I don’t like democrats…. they’ll get me killed

Now that the dimwit-Senate appears to lack the votes to pass Obamacare, Real America—conservative blogs and talk radio, must force our communist President, the cowed intel community and even the United States military to defend us.

As anyone with an IQ half the number of Bawney Fwank’s anonymous sex partners knew immediately when shouts ran out at Fort Hood… it was Muslim terrorism.

There is no need for further evidence regarding the waste-of-skin traitor Hasan.

He must be hanged for his crime by the military, he must not allowed access to civil courts.

In addition, I want the heads of  Fort Hood Commander LtGen. Robert W. Cone and Army Chief of Staff Gen. George Casey on stakes.

How can they fight a war when they can’t even keep terrorists out of the ranks?

And to think that a number of high ranking officers were cashiered because of some grab ass at the Tail Hook convention.

Gentlemen… if your dog tags say “Muslim”, please step over to that line.”

Next, any Muslim who tries to enlist must undergo the most stringent security check in America… and I don’t mean the “move along, nothing to see here” vetting process the Obama used to slip communists into the highest levels of government for the next phase of the coup.

All the casualties last week were aboard a military base, so most of America will just shrug it off as “another terrible tragedy” and a “gun crime”… more on that aspect below.

No…. it was the worst Muslim terrorist attack on American soil since 9/11.

Let me repeated for emphasis….. the worst murderous attack by committed Muslim jihadists in the eight years since the mass murder of 3,000 in the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and on United Flight 93 by committed Muslim suicide bombers.

My friends, clearly the CIA, the FBI, Army CID and the Army itself is part of a conspiracy to sacrifice American service members and civilians on the altar of hard-core left-wing politics.

“Political correctness”? 

No, we passed that years ago… there is something terribly, systemically wrong when our courts, our law enforcement agencies, our various levels of government, our intelligence community, our military and even the president of the United States refuse to defend America and protect her citizens.

I can cite 100 cases of traitorous, unconstitutional inaction and/or malfeasance on the part of each of the institutions I just listed.

When will the people rise up and take control of this situation… do your own children or grandchildren have to die before we take matters into our own hands?

Oh stop your squirming like a little girl with twisted panties… if we don’t do it, who will? If not now, when?

When are we going to start acting like patriots born of revolutionary forefathers instead of sheep being lead to slaughter?

This terror attack just happened to have occurred at Fort Bragg…. you convince me why the next time it won’t be at the Mall of America… or in your Wal-Mart?

I wrote extensive about the Muslim Beslan Russia school massacre, thinking the lesson was obvious about the vulnerability of our own schools… I learned quickly that no one in the massive government school, union-controlled industry cares.

Every conscientious conservative blog I’m aware of has warned of this as long as blogs have existed.

What price are we willing to pay for our inaction?

Am I advocating armed rebellion?

No… not hardly; we can’t even keep communists from indoctrinating of children in government schools. How are we going to shift into a hard-core revolutionary cadre? Get real.

What I am advocating is the following:

If a million tea-partying 9/12’ers can clog the street of D.C. for a day, five million can shut down the government for as many days as we need to… like Martin Luther… nail our demands to the doors of Congress.

Luther, a monk, was personally fed up. He had had it with Roman Catholic Church, and literally nailed a collections of indictments on the door of the  Schlosskirche (castle church) in Wittenberg

Among his rhetorical accusations was this one:

"Why does the pope, whose wealth today is greater than the wealth of the richest Crassus, build the basilica of St. Peter with the money of poor believers rather than with his own money?"

By changing only a couple of words, isn’t Martin Luther’s clarity just as apt today as it was around this time of year in 1517.

Luther, one man, one motivated individual, thus began the Protestant Reformation and changed the world.

If Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer (left) can’t get to work for a week, it will be the best thing that has happened to our republic since we bombed Japan. 

And is they were forced to resign and special elections held, the slimy politicians would quickly learn that if they want to keep their jobs for another year or so, they do what we say.

In the meantime we begin from the ground up, a take over of our government.

Only those who believe and will protect the originalist view of the Constitution need apply.

I don’t want a democrat or republic merry-go-round government changing masks every 2-4 years; I want a Constitutional Movement that will once and for all relegate the excesses of this bloated federal government and this society to the dung heap of history.

Absolute term limitations… one four-year term in the House, one six-year term in the Senate; one five-year term for president.

We simply take away the political pay offs, graft, corruption, luxuries, high pay… make being a “public servant” not so attractive.

This way, no one “runs’ for re-election as soon as they’re sworn in; they are in long enough to work effectively, but not long enough to do any great damage. Besides, in Real America, impeachment is only a Constitutional violation away… for anyone.

Further:

• Government housing for federal officials will be provided on military bases in the previous enlisted quarters; new quarters will be constructed for active duty member and families and a livable per diem will be paid to military members who must live on the local economy.
• Better yet, the military buys existing apartment buildings to house troops.

This is all stream-of consciousness, I have a million ideas,

But the question we must answer is when do we quit bleating about the systematic destruction of our great nation, get off our asses and do something?

As promised:

The spin is already grinding away to use the Fort Hood Muslim terrorism attack as “proof” we need more anti-gun laws.

And the new villain is—drum-roll, please…..

The 5.7 mm FN Herstal Five-seveN, 10-round semi-auto handgun.

It is already nick-named the “cop-killer”… as if all the other pistols used to gun down law enforcement officers weren’t “cop-killers”.

It is only a matter of time until it is also dubbed an “assault pistol”.

If it was pink, liberals wouldn’t even notice. 

The following is already included in the Wikipedia entry on the FN Herstal.

On Nov.5, 2009, the weapon was again the target of controversy when, investigators believe, the Five-Seven was used by U.S. Army psychiatrist Major Nidal Hasan in the shooting at Fort Hood military base, where 13 were killed and 30 were wounded.

Move along citizens… it wasn’t terrorism; just another terrible gun tragedy. We must have more “reasonable” gun laws… this weapon is not used for hunting, it’s just used to kill people.

If the government is really worried about Muslims, they had better keep them in line.

In the end, when all the cards are played, Americans will not go down without a fight.

Our PC Generals undermine troop morale

To our nation’s detriment the time of boot-knife carrying, profane, shaved headed, alpha male, with killing-on-their-minds generals in the U.S. military is over.

I cannot remember the last time I heard a rousing, blood-pumping comment from someone with stars on his shoulders. The more stars, the more they sound like a senior senator from Pennsylvania…. no disrespect to Pennsylvania.

Nowadays generals “in country” walk around without covers and don’t even carry sidearms, thus giving the impression of USO entertainers in borrowed military gear.

I know that such dashing command presence would just fill me great confidence as I prepares to break wire.

General McChrystal is the absolute worst about this….

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And… I don’t believe that it is appropriate or dignified for professional soldiers to mourn their dead in weepy candlelight ceremonies especially with civilians present.

 

 

 

 

 

Many years ago, as Army Chief of Staff, Gen. Douglas MacArthur chafed at the thought that FDR's socialist New Deal would be funded through cuts to the military.

He told Roosevelt:

"When we lose the next war and an American boy is writhing in pain in the mud with a Jap bayonet in his belly, I want the last words that he spits out in the form of a curse to be not against Douglas MacArthur but against Franklin Roosevelt." FDR was enraged, and he said, "Never speak to the President of the United States that way."

MacArthur immediately offered to resign, but Roosevelt brightened and said, "No, no, Douglas, we must get together on this."

The man who now holds McArthur’s job—Gen. George Casey—is typical of the politically-correct, “diversity-at-all-costs” mentality that has poisoned the upper ranks of our military; perhaps all ranks. 

As the highest commander, the blood of 40 Fort Hood soldiers is on his hands; it was on his watch that an anti-American Muslim zealot who openly praised suicide bombers was catered to, educated at tax payer expense and then murdered 13 young real Americans.

What was Casey’s response?  

• “I’m concerned that this increased speculation could cause a backlash against some of our Muslim soldiers. And I’ve asked our Army leaders to be on the lookout for that.” Casey on CNN and any other number of left-wing Sunday TV shows he could slither onto.
• "I wouldn't say I fear (a backlash against Muslims), but one of the reasons I told our leaders to keep their people informed and not rush to judgment or speculate until the investigation comes out, is I do worry slightly about a potential backlash, and we have to be concerned about that."
• “Our diversity, not only in our Army, but in our country, is a strength. And as horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that’s worse.”

Somewhere in America 40 families had to hear their son’s or daughter’s top general say that a dent in our “diversity”—whatever the goddamned hell that is—is more important that the lives and bodies of their loved ones.

Perhaps Casey is best know for using specific troop numbers in his public discussion of a possible drawdown of US Troops in Iraq in 2005. He said the then current troop level of 138,000 could be reduced by 30,000 in the early months of 2006 as Iraqi security forces took on a greater role. President Bush publicly called the talk "speculation" and rebuked the general.

Obviously an opponent of vigorous war-fighting, in January 2007, Casey implied his opposition to a troop surge in Iraq.

"The longer we in the U.S. forces continue to bear the main burden of Iraq’s security, it lengthens the time that the government of Iraq has to take the hard decisions about reconciliation and dealing with the militias. And the other thing is that they can continue to blame us for all of Iraq’s problems, which are at base their problems. It’s always been my view that a heavy and sustained American military presence was not going to solve the problems in Iraq over the long term."^[3]

Not long after, Bush kicked Casey upstairs to make way for a real general… David Petraeus, who seems to have been very very quiet since Obama bluffed his way into commanding our troops.

Over the last two hard days of photo ops Obama-appointed Secretary of the Army John McHugh could muster little more than repeating the Army’s pathetic, Madison Avenue motto when discussing the Fort Hood massacre:

"This is a time for the Army family to stand together, this is a time for 'Army Strong' to mean what it says -- and this is a time to know that we are working every moment to ensure that their safety and security is met to the highest possible degree."

At least he expressed some concern about soldiers being assassinated inside their own bases.

A career politician, McHugh, like so many of my fellow Baby-Boomers, graduated from high school in 1966… college four years later; but just couldn't find time to join us in South Vietnam.

But I know you’ll be reassured to learn that McHugh was voted one of the “50 most beautiful people on Capitol Hill” by The Hill magazine.^[10]

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the boss of the entire Army.

Is justice being pursued?

Asked whether he thought the Army “dropped the ball” in not responding to warning signs that the major was increasingly radical, General Casey replied that he was encouraging soldiers to provide information to criminal investigators.

But he added that the Army needs to be careful not to jump to conclusions based on early tidbits of information.

In other words… do not talk about ragheads…. and it’s a “criminal matter” for the FBI and the courts… not a failure of Casey and his Army.

It was left to Sen. Joe Lieberman, chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, get it right; he promised that his committee would investigate Hasan’s suspected motives and whether the Army “missed warning signs that should have led them to essentially discharge him.”

In closing…. The San Antonio Express-News has reported that fellow classmates of Hasan in a graduate military medical program heard him justify suicide bombings and make radical and anti-American statements.

But investigators have said that “Major Hasan” might have suffered from emotional problems that were aggravated by the strain of working with veterans of combat in Iraq and Afghanistan and by the knowledge that he might soon be deployed to those theaters as well.

Got that….? the spin is that Hasan who has never served outside the United States and probably fired a rifle but once, may have Pre-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

It’s all mapped out for any other sleeper jihadist in the military…. kill as many as you can and then claim to be insane based on hearing combat stories of actual heroes.

Hundreds of ACLU operators are standing by.

Greater security scrutiny needed for Muslims in US military

Hellava day… being trying to post this since 10 a.m.; some things might be dated.

With the following, I’m guilty of “burying the lead” (as it’s called in the news business) on the Fort Hood mass-casualty shooting.

I want everyone to know about their commander-in-chief and his compulsive need to make everything about him…. even the shooting of 43 people.

The world waited breathlessly yesterday waiting for the TV mutts to breathlessly report what WWOS… “What Would Obama Say?”.

Knowing he was about to speak of the execution-style, close range killings of at least 13 soldiers and civilian police at Fort Hood were slaughtered and over 30 others wounded, by U.S. Army Major Malik Nadal Hasan, a Muslim, he…:

• He spent the first two minutes of the four-and-a-half minute address in a light-hearted discussion of the “Tribal Nations Conference” on Native American rights he was attending. (I’ll pass on any speculation about how he should be using his POTUS time).

(OBAMA): “Please, everybody, have a seat. Let me first of all just thank Ken and the entire Department of the Interior staff for organizing just an extraordinary conference.”

“I want to thank my Cabinet members and senior administration officials who participated today. I hear that Dr. Joe Medicine Crow was around, and so I want to give a shout out to that Congressional Medal of Honor winner (sic). It's good to see you.”

Is there anything more dignified than the President of the United States sounding like he’s presenting the MTV award for best thug-rapper? 

• Once again you stupid son of a bitch, no one “wins” the Medal of Honor…it’s not a game;
• and, there is no such thing as the Congressional Medal of Honor;
• and, Dr. Medicine Crow has never been awarded the Medal of Honor. But he was awarded the “Presidential Medal of Freedom”… you should at least get that right… you gave him the damned thing a few months ago.
• And… since you have also had the singular honor of presenting the Medal of Honor to the grieving parents of Army Sergeant First Class Jared Monti less than three weeks ago, is it too much to act that you at least know what you’re talking about? 

Michelle Malkin reports: “When he finally got around to the purpose for his public appearance, he gave an uninspired and rambling dissertation on the (Fort Hood) tragedy. Even then, he could not keep the topic focused on sympathy for the pain of others:

“I want all of you to know that as Commander in Chief, that there’s no greater honor, but no greater responsibility for me (emphasis his) than to make sure that the extraordinary men and women in uniform are properly cared for…”

And now, back to Religion of Peace News:

Starting now there must be a complete and exhaustive investigation of the Army (and not by the Army) on one simple issue: why was Hasan allowed to remain in the Army, let alone have contact with soldiers needing competent psychological care, let alone not be charged with several violations of the Uniformed Code of Military Justice. (Hasan shown left as a young lieutenant.

We all know the reason already, and it has cost 13 lives—probably more—and the severe wounding of dozens more.

• It should outrage all Americans that almost immediately there was an obvious attempt to portray Hasan, an active-duty Army Medical Corps psychiatrist, as anything but what he is… an angry, Muslim-centric mass-killer who supported suicide bombers—equating them with Medal of Honor Recipients—and their killing of US troops.   

Further evidence of the Army’s negligence, and criminal misconduct by allowing a Muslim fifth-columnist to remain in the military in any capacity:

23 March, 2003, Camp Pennsylvania Kuwait:

Muslim Army Sgt. Hasan Karim Akbar (formerly: Mark Fidel Kools) at a rear base camp before the invasion of Iraq. In a premeditated attack, Akbar threw hand grenades into a tent before sunrise when most troops were still sleeping. He fired his rifle into the ensuing chaos. 

He was convicted of the murder of Army Capt. Christopher Seifert and Air Force Maj. Gregory Stone. His first appeal review is now in process; if he loses his faces death by lethal injection. Read more here.

Not to fear, my Muslim enemies… the military hasn’t executed anyone since 1961. It is my belief that Akbar will eventually be released, just like the POWs at Gitmo. ‘Course I know you’re pissed too, if he’s “martyred” he’s a more valuable propaganda tool.

10 September, 2003, Guantanamo Bay:

One, Army Capt. Yusuf Yee (James Yee), a chaplain who converted to Islam after he came in contact with Saudi clerics during an Army tour in that country in 1991.

“Came into contact with Saudi clerics”?

American traitor Lee, a Muslim, is shown right with his parents, insisting he was the victim of… .racial and religious discrimination.

Given his background should Lee have been assigned to work with hard-corps enemies of America imprisoned in Gitmo?

Of course, you bitter, gun and Bible-clingers…. we would rather have our soldiers and civilians die than to take the steps to prevent Muslim zealots from infiltrating of our military.

Yee was caught red-handed with secret material and charged with sedition,aiding the enemy, spying espionage, and failure to obey a general order. However, all charges were later reduced to a single charge of “mishandling classified information” by prosecutors who cited “national security concerns that would arise from the release of the evidence.”

But Yee was alone… he was the leader of a spy ring.

Air Force Senior Airman Ahmad I. Halabi (at left in photo), an Arabic translator, was arrested at Gitmo, and civilian translator Ahmed F. Mehalba, arrested at Boston's Logan International Airport as he returned from a trip to Egypt with a computer disc of classified US military information.

Read more here.

Eventually Halabi was found guilty of possessing and transporting classified information, violating a general regulation, and lying to investigators. In September 2004, he was sentenced at Travis AFB a bad conduct discharge, 295 days confinement (essentially time served), and reduction to E-1 rank.

You may ask, well, where is Ahmad I. Halabi today…. well, why don’t you check in on his Linked in Page…. in which he brazenly lists his Air Force experience, omitting just one detail. He appears to be successful “Senior Executive - Customer Business at Dubai Properties” in the U.A.E.

Click here for his profile… perhaps you can leave him a message.

Also:

• Muslim US soldier Hasan Abujihaad was convicted last year of espionage and supporting terrorism in connection with his service aboard the USS Benfold. He provided classified material with al Qaeda financiers which included movements of US ships just six months after al Qaeda operatives had killed 17 Americans aboard the USS Cole in Yemen. Helmet tip: MichelleMalkin.com
• Convicted Beltway sniper and Muslim John Muhammad is scheduled to be executed next week. He was discharged from the U.S. Army at the rank of sergeant in 1994, following the Gulf War.

At right is a frame grab from a Killeen, Texas, convenience store security video that shows Nadal Malik Hasan in early Thursday morning, Nov. 5, 2009. Hasan  shot and killed 14 people at Fort Hood in the worst mass shooting ever at a military base

Hasan’s terroristic past:

This much, beyond the state-controlled media’s attempt at white-wash, is known:

--At least six months ago Fort Hood killer Hasan came to the attention of law enforcement officials because of Internet postings about suicide bombings and other threats, including posts that equated suicide bombers to soldiers who throw themselves on a grenade to save the lives of their comrades.

--Hasan had made “outlandish comments” about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and US involvement in them and that “Muslims had a right to rise up and attack Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan.”

--His name appeared on radical Internet postings.

--A fellow officer says he fought his deployment to Iraq and argued with soldiers who supported U.S. wars. He required disciplinary counseling as a medical student because of problems he had with his patients.

(BTW: Hasan’s medical school education was paid for by you, the American taxpayer.)

But before the smoke had cleared yesterday, civilian and military authorities were in lock-step insistence that there was no terrorism involved in the mass-killings.

Did the attack create terror? Was that along with killing as many as possible, the intent?

Then what else should it be called?

One of the great weakness of our nation is the knee-jerk, bending over backwards of our political correct society (even in the military) to whitewash our enemies as just part of the rich fabric of our so-called “diversity”.

Associated Press turned in its usual hard-hitting story:

Officials at the post hospital where Hasan worked said they weren't aware of any problems with his job performance.

"Up to this point I would consider him an asset," said Col. Kimberly Kesling, deputy commander of base clinical services.

She described Hasan as "a quiet man who wouldn't seek the limelight."

An imam from a mosque Hasan regularly attended said Hasan, a lifelong Muslim, was a committed soldier, gave no sign of extremist beliefs and regularly wore his uniform at prayers.

An unnamed source… a Muslim imam… said that someone, anyone, was a committed solider and held no radical beliefs? Even in the same story, AP knew this was far from the truth.

I’ll guarantee you that this impression of Hasan will not hold up for another 24 hours as the blogosphere, Glenn Beck, Rush, and a few newspapers try to get to the truth.

The responsibility for this reaches the highest levels of the civil and military leadership of the Army.

We cannot allow it to be whitewashed…. again.

Only about half the murdered Fort Hood soldiers are shown above.

May God rest their souls.

A picture (in Washington D.C.) is worth ten-thousand words

This is the photo America should remember—that of Army Sgt. Dale R. Griffin shown with his parents, Gene and Dona Griffin.

Sadly, Sgt. Griffin, killed in action this week in Afghanistan will be remembered (or more accurately, his flag-draped casket will be remember) as a photo prop for his Marxist Commander-in-Chief.

Not since the last democrat president has there been such a disgusting display of monumental cynicism, black-hearted calculation and rage-educing bitterness. 

And this was the political/visual/media pay-off for his stomach-churning manipulation; the AP, which chose to call Griffin a “…college student who was struggling to find his way in the world when he turned to the military” reports:

“… (Griffin) came home in a line of flag-draped coffins saluted in Thursday's pre-dawn darkness by President Barack Obama at Dover Air Force Base.

(Ed. note: Obama did not salute a “line of flag-draped coffins”….. only one, Griffin’s.)

And save me the eye-rolling lecture about a “president doing what he’s supposed to do as commander-in-chief”; haven’t you been paying attention the last two-three years?

Of the 15 military troops and three DEA agents killed last week, only one family—the Griffins—gave its permission for the photo op.

But the still and video images carry a far different message, don’t they?

The assumption by most Americans is that Obama awoke in the “pre-dawn” darkness to honor all his fallen servicemen.

Absolutely not.

Did Obama’s henchmen contact all the grieving families and could only obtain permission from one?  

Did all refuse, but the Griffins gave in? Mr. Griffin is a Mormon bishop from Terre Haute … and he and his wife allowed the TelePrompTer to use their dead son as a prop?

Perhaps the Griffins were placed under a great deal of pressure, or perhaps they even thought it was a great idea; is that likely? I do not know.

And of course, the AP used the faux ceremony to bash President Bush:

“The dramatic image of Obama on the tarmac was a portrait not witnessed in years.”

Compare that with Bush—a very good war-time President, and decent man—who refused to use dead young men to further a political agenda. Without checking all eight years of his daily schedule, not one knows how many grieving families from this war he prayed with and cried with… in private. 

Bush also knew that had he done so publically, he would have been pilloried for doing exactly what Barack Hussein Obama has done and will likely continue to do when the need arises for a little distraction from the truth: that he’s leading our brave young men and women to defeat.

Finally… Obama went to Dover with his usual retinue of news media lackeys. Why? If his gesture was genuine and respectful, he would have closed his appearance to all journalists.

And no one had to teach George Bush how to render a proper salute.

The White House news bureau at MSNBC reported: “The president's trip to Dover, something he has wanted to do for months, came at a pivotal moment for the Afghanistan war.”

No argument there… he didn’t go to Dover until he needed the caskets for political cover.

Barack Hussein Obama has spent more time taking his wife to dinner, more time playing basketball and golf, more time brushing his teeth than talking to his Afghanistan commander with whom he has met once.

What enrages we Real Americans is that Obama has time to generate propaganda, but hasn’t the time to heed his theater commanders and send the 40-80,000 reinforcements which would very likely have saved Griffith’s life.

Barry is trading our sons’ and daughters’ lives to placate the radical left which wants America to surrender to its enemies, and demands that Obama surrender as he promised he would.  

Griffin (shown second from left), died along with six other soldiers and an Afghan interpreter  when their Stryker armored vehicle hit an improvised explosive device.

Griffin, 29, was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 17th Infantry Regiment, 5th Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division, Fort Lewis, Wash.

He died Oct. 27 in Arghandab Valley, Afghanistan, of wounds sustained when enemy forces attacked his vehicle with an IED. Also killed were

• Pfc. Brian Bates, 20, New Orleans.
• Staff Sgt. Luis M. Gonzalez, 27, of South Ozone Park, N.Y.
• Sgt. Fernando Delarosa, 24, of Alamo, Texas.
• Sgt. Issac B. Jackson, 27, of Plattsburg, Mo.
• Sgt. Patrick O. Williamson, 24, of Broussard, La.
• Spc. Jared D. Stanker, 22, of Evergreen Park, Ill.

KABUL - Eleven US troops and three US drug enforcement officials were killed in two helicopter crashes in Afghanistan yesterday, the heaviest one-day loss for American forces in more than four years, military officials said.

The crashes involved three copters, two of which collided midair in the south of the country and a third that went down in the wake of a firefight in Afghanistan’s west, according to NATO and US officials.

In a separate air crash in Afghanistan on Monday, seven American soldiers and three U.S. civilians died when their Chinook helicopter went down in western Afghanistan; eleven US service members and one US civilian were injured, as were 14 Afghan troops.

Seven soldiers died Monday in the crash of an MH-47 helicopter in Darreh-ye Bum, Afghanistan.

They were identified as:

• Staff Sgt. Shawn H. McNabb, 24, of Terrell, Tx.
• Chief Warrant Officer Michael P. Montgomery, 36, of Savannah, Ga.
• Chief Warrant Officer Niall Lyons, 40, of Spokane, Wash.;
• Sgt. Josue E. Hernandez Chavez, 23, of Reno, Nev.;
• Sgt. Nikolas A. Mueller, 26, of Little Chute, Wisc.;
• Sgt. 1st Class David E. Metzger, 32, of San Diego., and
• Staff Sgt. Keith R. Bishop, 28, of Medford, N.Y.

McNabb, Montgomery, Lyons, Chavez and Mueller were assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 160th Special Operations Regiment (Airborne), based at Hunter Army Airfield, Ga.: Metzger and Bishop were assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne), from Fort Bragg, N.C.

Air disaster

Capt. Kyle R. VanDeGiesen, a Marine Super Cobra pilot, was 29 years old. He was one of 14 Americans killed in Afghanistan today on two flights - the deadliest day for U.S. forces in that war since June 28, 2005, when 19 troops were lost.

Captain VanDeGiesen and his wife Megan are shown here on their wedding day.

VanDeGiesen and his widow Megan have a daughter, Avery; the couple is expecting their first son.

Survivors include his parents, Ruth Ann and Calvin VanDeGiesen, two brothers, Ryan and Christian, and a sister, Caitlin.

A UH-1N “Huey” carrying Cpl. Gregory M.W. Fleury, 23, and Capt. Eric Jones, 29, below, crashed into a the Cobra piloted by Capt. David Mitchell, 30, and Capt. Van De Giesen, in Helmand Province. 

The combined 14 deaths from the loss of the three aircraft made it the deadliest day for U.S. personnel in the Islamic republic since 2005.

These are the faces and names of our finest who have been killed as a result of 68 million voters casting a ballot for a Communist Manchurian Candidate intent on destroying this military, our society and our nation.

I wonder how they sleep?

May God comfort the families, and welcome America’s best and brightest to his embrace.

And Semper Fi.

We stand at 94; domestic communists threaten our future

Vietnam Medal of Honor Recipient Leonard “Len” Keller, 62,  died at Sunday afternoon in after being critically injured in a motorcycle accident only minutes after being honored at the U.S. Navy Fleet Reserve Association in Pensacola Florida.

Sergeant Keller was cited for heroic action in May, 1967 when his unit was assaulted by superior enemy forces near Ap Bac, South Vietnam.

Police reports indicate that Keller was thrown from his three-wheeled Harley Davidson after leaving the association’s parking lot.

A two-tour Army veteran, Keller had recently retired after a 28-year career as a civilian in the supply unit at Pensacola Naval Air Station.

Navy Captain Bill Reavey, commanding officer of Pensacola NAS, called Keller's death "a national loss."

Funeral arraignments are pending.

We stand at 94.

It’s been hard to grab traction since back from Indian Territory.

As far as I can see after a few days away is the commander-in-chief continues to dither and stall on reinforcements to Af-Pak, and I fear that a coordinated and widespread, Tet Offensive-like attack is being formulated by the Taliban.

Because we have done nothing to head the coup that will eventually destroy us, federal funding for ACORN has resumed, the “government option” is back in Obamacare (as if it was ever out), and our enemies as so brazen that another ObaMaoist has blithely and publically said:

“As we've tried to learn about this world, we have evolved some views....
”Generally speaking, we get the joke. We know that the free market is nonsense. We know that the whole point is to game the system, to beat the market or at least find someone who will pay you a lot of money, 'cause they're convinced that there is a free lunch.

“We know this is largely about power, that it's an adults only no limit game. We kind of agree with Mao that political power comes largely from the barrel of a gun.”   Video.

The latest self-proclaimed Maoist is Ron Bloom, “manufacturing czar”; he began as “car czar”, came up with “Cash for Clunkers”, and with that rousing success, he’s now in charge of all manufacturing.

… as Henry Ford revolves in his grave.

Bloom is a Harvard grad… no surprise there, considering that Harvard has produced more enemies of America than any other institution of “higher” learning in the nation world.

More importantly, he is a decades-long operative of SEIU—ACORN’s next door neighbors; he has represented the United Steel Workers (USW) before his halcyon days “under the hood.“

He also saw to it that the United Auto Workers (UAW), ended up owning most of General Motors in sweetheart deal enforced by the Obama regime.

It disgusts me to mention these scumbags in the same space as Len Keller; I agree with Zell Miller… I wished we lived in a time when things were settled with duels.

If when that happens…. I have a list; oh trust me, I have a list.

Before I turn this off for Monday Night Thug Ball, raise a glass to Len Keller’s memory and say “God speed”, I’ll just hit a few trip wires that confront us…. how many commies in the White House does it take until we remember the lessons of our Founding Fathers and overthrow our oppressors?
