OBL still dead… but don’t believe anything else coming out of the Obama regime

Okay let's get started with basic facts which are in short supply since OBL did or did not resist, use his wife, daughter, stripper, UPS driver as a human shield, was or was not anointed with Aloe vera juice in keeping with the religion that believes it has the right to hack off your children's heads.

L/M31 Rules of the road until OBL news is relegated to the second section of the NYT:

• Don't believe a word about this mission coming from the Obama regime.
• Since long before 9/11 far-left dimocrats (the entire leadership) have done nothing except sabotage the War on Terror... in fact, they even changed the name didn't they? They don't like the word "victory"; they don't like anything that American... they are fifth-columnists. And they called  Seal Team Six which cancelled OBL's ticket, Nazis... didn't they?
• Everything that that has been released from the White House since Sunday was scripted to cast Obama as a latter day George Patton... the same jackass who opposed the war in Iraq, the surge, enhanced interrogation and everything else that would guarantee victory... and he doesn't even like that word--makes him feel all tingly in his ballet panties.     
• I will not allow anyone carrying Barry Ortero's water to post on this blog insisting that Obama deserves a shred of credit for drilling OBL through the eye. He dithered for more than six months after he had conclusive proof (thanks to the waterboarding "torture" he so abhors) that OBL was in a high-priced condo under the protection of the Pock-ee-Staaan regime and had been for six years.

Facts:

Forget what you think you know about the legendary US Navy SEALS. "Seal Team Six" is a cover.... it has nothing to do with the other numbered Seal teams which are made up of only a few hundred personnel based in Dam Neck, Va.; the elite SEAL unit that double-tapped OBL is officially known as Naval Special Warfare Development Group, or "DEVGRU," is part of a special operations brotherhood that calls itself "the quiet professionals."

Of the "regular" Seals who try out... only half make it into DevGru. In others words, these are the Seals that Seals hold in great respect deference....  you don't want to know these people; they are "black ops", outside the military chain of command and answer only to the president--no matter who it may be. More, click here.

Keep in mind that killing this waste of skin and oxygen means nothing... we've been killing the "second and third highest terrorists" for years and we can continue for decades; rank means nothing when a 12-year-old can be brainwashed into murdering babies for Allah or some other Muslim pedophile.

Nits breed lice.

Is that clear? Let me expand... this is Iwo Jima writ large... like, global.

Muslims, the religion, its faithful, its leadership, its front groups and its apologists must suffer the same fate as bin Laden. This is war without quarter... savage, dehumanizing combat that cannot be trusted to most Americans, let alone any democrats... when you encounter them, tell 'em to hide under their beds and wait for the all-clear to come out.

If we win.

Is it possible to kill all the Muzzies in the world...? No. But it is possible to have a US defense policy that enforces what W said... you are either with the terrorist or with us.

Choose your side, and pick carefully, you life depends on it.

Screw your blankets and praying 12 times a day... if we have you, you can give your soul Allah, but your sorry ass is ours, you sub-human petrie dish of pond scum.

Ramadamadingdong?  Yeah, we'll see that that little celebration relegated to sewage treatment plants across the nation.... we're still a little hinkey about you vaporizing 3,000 of our countrymen, beheading our citizens and raping our women.

Certainly you must understand our upset... and if you don't, just suck on this gun barrel.

See, if most Americans--Real Americans--had their way, no one from Muslim countries would get a visitors' visa, let alone a work visa or immigrant status. We don't want your spawn in our schools and we don't want your Sharia in our communities... sort of like we don't want toxic waste, cancer and Algore. 

You see, the Seal who put two rounds through OBL's skull Sunday is a Real American; the kind of man willing to employ complete and devastating violence on behalf of the rest of us. There are not many of these men; I wish we had more.

But we don't.

Gosh GA, in this time of great danger, why not?

Well, Scout, you see the dimocrats are flooding the services will hair dressers, interior designers and the University of South Florida Women's softball team... that's what Obama wants from a killer military--you know, HIS kinda people.   

You see, the the democrats have already prosecuted Seal Team Six members (they are praising today) for protecting your children... oh, you forgot? Then let me wake your ass up...:

Navy SEALs Face Assault Charges for Capturing Most-Wanted Terrorist

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 (right).

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.

You see, America... your CnC is nothing but a Gilbert and Sullivan admiral.... he isn't a commander in chief, he just plays one between rounds of golf:  

He wore his golf shoes to the oh-so critical "real time" monitoring of the OBL mission... now that is a leader focused on the lives of his troops and the well-being of his nation..... no?

An Awestruck AP: Obama So Concerned About Bin Laden Raid He Wore His Golf Shoes to the Oval Office…

WASHINGTON (AP) — Golf shoes in the Oval Office could have been a clue.

President Barack Obama usually goes to the residence quarters of the White House after putting in a few weekend hours on the links. But he made an unusual beeline for his West Wing office last Sunday that raised eyebrows only in retrospect.

He was headed for a top-secret meeting to review final preparations for a military operation he’d approved two days earlier, the one involving a raid by Navy SEALs that would end with the death of Osama bin Laden, one of the world’s most hunted men.

White House to release OBL death pix...

But no matter what OBL's post-mortem glam shots look like... they'll be far less hideous than this:

We’re moving to new digs….

Sparta

Sometimes things just fold together nicely so, and I’m around to hear it, read it, or see it.

Yesterday three initially disparate events occurred, the lesson for us follows:

Tough Love:

Congressman Allen West, about whom I’ve written (see previous post), spoke at a Women Impacting Nation meeting; he encouraged women to stand strong because they are essential to having a country of strong American men. He used the Spartans, the most feared army in ancient times as his example:

“But when you understood what made the Spartan men strong, it was the Spartan women. Because the Spartan women gave….” their male children over at the age of nine to years of martial training.

“And when the Spartan mother gave that young Spartan warrior his shield, she gave him this basic commandment: ‘Spartan, here is your shield. Come back bearing this shield or being borne upon it!’”

Mother Superior:

In her book, “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother”, Amy Chua observes:

A lot of people wonder how Chinese parents raise such stereotypically successful kids. They wonder what these parents do to produce so many math whizzes and music prodigies, what it’s like inside the family, and whether they could do it too. Well, I can tell them, because I’ve done it. Here are some things my daughters, Sophia and Louisa, were never allowed to do:

• attend a sleepover,  have a playdate, be in a school play,  complain about not being in a school play, watch TV or play computer games, choose their own extracurricular activities,  get any grade less than an A, or not be the No. 1 student in every subject except gym and drama.

Chua writes,  “Western parents  constantly try to reassure their children about how good they are notwithstanding a mediocre performance on a test or at a recital. In other words, Western parents are concerned about their children’s psyches. Chinese parents aren’t. They assume strength, not fragility, and as a result they behave very differently.”

Chua is crystal clear on this point… humans responds to challenge, even the smallest of them; it is the nature of things. The easiest path provides nothing, and as a society we have forgotten that, or worse, against all facts to the contrary, ignored and doubted it.

From the mouths of babes:

The last of these random events was my decision, also yesterday, to watch the documentary “Babies”; it was not boredom or remote control flick; I’ve long had an interest in early childhood development which was one of the reasons I chose to become a psychotherapist in mid-life.

 

“Babies” simultaneously follows four infants– from birth to first steps. The children who live with their families, are respectively: Ponijao of Namibia; Bayarjargal, of Mongolia; Mari, of Tokyo; and Hattie, who resides with her family in San Francisco.

The film affords the viewer a front-row seat… no script, no interviews or talking heads, just the inner-workings of a family in four distinct and wildly diverse cultures as it welcomes its newest member.

You’d have to have the average IQ of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals not to draw the lesson from the child-rearing styles shown. The two boys grow up a mud hut and the traditional Mongolian yurt… life is hard, even dangerous for the unwary. Siblings take on much of the care taking as parents work through out the day. Ants bite, falls hurt, frustrations abound… and crying usually doesn’t get you anywhere.   

Both boys live literally among the cattle and goats, chickens and dogs… and dirt, drink water from puddles and seem to develop into robust, assertive, adventuresome toddlers who push all the boundaries, and take correction in stride as a matter of daily life.  Extended families are large and communal.

There is very little substantive difference between Mari’s and Hattie’s first year; both raised in apartments, without siblings, usually in the care of and often surrounded by adults. Play is organized and scheduled and always directed by parents. They are are more passive, more whiny (at least Hattie) and more confounded by life than their peers thousands of miles away.

A few moments stand out… at one point Hattie smacks her mother two of three times on the cheek, not angrily just doing what kids do; Ms. Birkenstock responds immediately: with a smile she coos, “we do not hit”, and grabs a book, titled: “No Hitting” and show it to her.

Hattie smacks it too.

Later, four moms and one metrosexual father, with babies in their laps are “exercising”, they hold the babies arms up and chant, “Mother Earth loves you, will protect you.”  Not kidding.

The girls never encounter dirt, they don’t even see dirt; they are clean and cleaned to a fault; at one point Hattie’s Metrodaddy lint-rollers her front and back after he vacuums the rug she’s sitting on. 

And the point in all this…?  

The rugged, strictly conforming, disciplined parenting of Poni and Byar, full of experiences, challenges, tasks and devoid of mollycoddling will produce leaders… strong, self-reliant individuals for whom life will be lived full-bore.

Conversely, Mari and Hattie (who does show a tough streak despite her parenting) are being groomed to be part of the next wave of Japanese/San Franciscan sheeple who will accumulate years of education and training, are pre-programmed to become Employee #16345-Q in the Japan’s massive IT hive, and the appropriately vegan socialist with a degree in Women’s Studies, respectively.

Essentially…. clones of their parents.  

Both Rep. West and Ms. Chau would embrace this observation… our children are owed the best training and advice we can give them…. how could it be otherwise?

But sadly… no, tragically, we have over the last several decades allowed childhood and adolescence to become an overwhelmingly indulgent process which considers discipline to be the loss of video games for a day or so.

Today children have no responsibilities. Why can’t a four-year-old make their bed?

Childhood used to be the period in which you came of age. Now childhood is nothing more than a familial kindergarten which teaches little and asks virtually nothing.

Generations back, once you could perform a man’s or woman’s work… you were an adult at the age of 14…. 12, even younger.

Instead, now we have “adolescence”, a relatively new invention, during which I believe children actually regress.

Do you know a mother who washes and irons their teen’s clothes? One who caters to their every whim… paying all costs and expenses, yet demanding nothing in return?

“The kids’” adolescence now extends into the mid-20s and even 30s. Then… they move back home; the big ole world was just too tough.

And whose fault is that?

Poni and Byar prove this thesis… children, even toddlers, will rise to the challenge, will seek the hard and experience-ladened path on their own, and if we are to salvage Real America it is critical that we immediately demand Tiger Moms and Spartan Mothers for the new generation.  

Otherwise, it is impossible to produce another Greatest Generation.

It’s 1861, or if you prefer, Dec. 8, 1941…

As a reporter you're tasked with moving the story from the general to the specific, at least when journalism was an honorable profession.

Example:

General: Traffic accident  Specific: DUI: More Specific:  Three DUI convictions   Very Specific: Never any jail time  Bingo: Brother-in-law is assistant DA.

You get the point.

But now for the second time in 150 years (in fact, as of this very year) we are now engaged...  "in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation, so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure."

Now, as then, the battle lines are clearly drawn, but the general-to-specific rule is of no use in this asymmetrical war against our domestic enemy; it's far too convoluted and complex.

We, I, get lost in the minutiae.

I believe that at this late moment, after decades of what Mark Levin calls "the soft tyranny", we are far better served moving from the specific, let alone the micro, to the general, and there draw our lines in the sand.

Today the election of Barack Hussein Obama--The Manchurian Candidate--stands as stark proof that the union/socialist/communist cabal successfully finally pulled the trigger on its half-century-long plan to destroy America.

There is no benefit for us to review what lead to this moment, than there was for commander of Fort Sumter, Maj. Robert Anderson to have asked"why are they shooting at us?"

Our enemies no longer just whisper revolution, they proclaim its success and rub our noses in it... and they march on, now under the guise of the federal government; we on the other hand, sit around debating the merits of someone named Huckabee and a charlatan named Trump.

If this is what we call counter-battery fire, we might as well run up the white flag and join the ranks of the mind-numbed robots who voted in the fifth-columnist and surrender our nation without firing a shot.

Our Constitution is undermined, assaulted, ignored and is in such weakened condition, that I truly fear for this nation.

We must move away from the specific... Soros, SEIU, NBCABCCNNNPR, global warming, unions.... to the general: take stock; where do we stand, now, right now?

Left:

Cradle-to-grave welfare/entitlements, ACLU, union-run propaganda mills known as public schools, murdering babies in the womb, wide open border, secular humanism, atheism, a leviathan government, a government-run news media, one-world government, half of the citizens pay for the the unemployed other half, an elite ruling class which makes millions as "public servants."

Right:

An unfettered free market, iron-clad individual rights, small/limited government, God, the strongest military in the world, respect for all life except that of our enemies, a vigorous, a non-political, agenda-driven press, a swift reduction of limitations on the Second Amendment, strong nuclear families and the sanctity of marriage, impenetrable borders and a return to American greatness.

These are just a few of the paramount differences, but they are enough; in what country do you choose to live?

Well, even that question comes too late doesn't it?  Read the two categories again and see which country you actually do live in.

Do you like that country, want to stay in that country, or do you want to fight to save this one? 

Are you prepared to start over again as did our Forefathers?

"When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them...."

It's much easier this time... it's all written down for us, and if it’s not in the Constitution and its amendments, or the bill of Rights, we don't do it; we cannot do it.

Just as importantly, we pledge we will not do it.

As far as I'm concerned, there is only one American of national prominence who is speaking plainly, in general, about core American values and how we must immediately return to Real America by defeating both our foreign and domestic enemies.

Congressman Allen West.

On Obama as a leader:

"What you continue to see is a third world dictator-like arrogance, that's what I saw in that speech [by Obama] last week. And look, Laura, to borrow a phrase from Reverend Jeremiah Wright, the chickens are coming home to roost."

"This whole talk about shared prosperity--that really gives me the goosebumps because I'm starting to believe that a community organizer is nothing but a low-level socialist agitator."

Our national defense:

"Rep. Allen West (R-FL.) became irate at a town hall meeting when Nezar Hamze, Executive Director of the Council for American Islamic Relations (CAIR) South Florida chapter, asked him to name the passage in the Quran that commands Muslims 'to carry out attacks against Americans and innocent people.'

West brushed off the criticism -- and told Hamze not to "try to blow sunshine up my butt."

West was quick to tell Hamze that the Quran was written long before America even existed and that it does indeed tell believers to kill infidels. He then proceeded to chronicle a lengthy list of historical Muslim acts of aggression.

Congressman West concluded his argument by mentioning the Fort Hood shootings and 9/11 attacks, saying "I've been on the battlefield my friend" and told Hamze to "put the microphone down and go home."

and:

“The military exists to win the nation’s wars and I think when we get to the point where we are starting to discuss about how the military conforms to accommodating individual behavior that’s what I get concerned with.”

After joining 58 other Republicans — nearly a quarter of the new majority — in rejecting House Speaker John Boehner’s budget cut proposal:

“I think my leadership needs to probably sit down and have a come-to-Jesus with themselves,” said Florida Rep. Allen West, a freshman Republican said Thursday. The Florida Republican said the latest budget was simply a “raindrop in an ocean.”

On the 2012 election:

“I say anyone who wants to step up and be a leader in this country, this is a critical time. This is not a time for any jokes, games or gimmicks, and I hope he is very serious.”

Cut the canned speeches, the concessions, the cave-ins, the hands across the aisle, the McCainRommneyHuck has-beens; stop the yesterday and the used to be.

The is war, now and full-on; there is no debate.

Victory favors the bold.... but we have yet, at this late date, to land the landing force. 

Summer soldiers, sunshine patriots….

RINO Alert:

Over the years I’ve insisted that the real political enemy Real America faces is the Republican Party leadership.

Today Rinotastic AZ  Governor Jan Brewer takes center stage with yesterday’s veto of two bills:

Senate Bill 1467:

• Would’ve allowed concealed carry on public rights of way at public university and community college campuses; not inside classrooms. University presidents opposed the bill (duh) because despite living in Arizona they are scumbag leftists just like their counterparts in Stanford, Berkeley, Boulder and New York.  

House Bill 2177:

• Would’ve required President Hussein and other presidential candidates to prove they are U.S. citizens before their names can appear on the state’s ballot 
• Arizona would’ve become the first state to require such proof 
• Thirteen other states have considered similar proposals this year. The proposals were defeated in Arkansas, Connecticut, Maine and Montana.

And here’s a bit of additional red meat out of Brewer’s office just today:

It appears that despite overwhelming passage of a bill that would create a special “Don’t Tread On Me” license plate commemorating tea party supporters.  It would require the plate to feature the rattlesnake emblem and yellow background of the historic Gadsden Flag that is a symbol of the tea party movement. ”Don’t Tread on Me” plates have also become a popular issue in Virginia and Texas.

Yet, Brewer “hasn’t made up her mind” about signing the bill. 

That’s RINO-speak for “ain’t gonna happen”; there is only one reason for all these left-friendly decisions… on Jan. 8 an obscure, female, left-wing government official was shot and wounded in Tucson.

When it comes to gut issues from Real America, the GOP hierarchy wets itself and runs for cover. That’s what we have gun control, confiscation of private property, stolen elections, a greatly fatigued military, and a near comatose economy.

Time and time again, from George H.W. Bush to George W. to McCain to a GOP House of Representatives, Republicans have caved at every turn; the House leadership shouted they would not bend on the a $60 billion cut in spending, then declared a deal for only $39 billion in spending cuts a giant victory.

Speaker ”Crying” John Boehner told his rank and file the half-a-loaf legislation marked the “largest real-dollar spending cut in American history.”

But wait there’s less.. the bill increases the annual deficit from last year’s $1.29 trillion to $1.58 trillion for fiscal 2011. And only in Mordor-on-the-Potomac would you get this explanation:

Republican and Democratic leaders touted the “cuts” in the bill because the proposed $1.58 trillion deficit in the compromise is lower than the $1.65 trillion deficit that would have resulted from passage of the White House budget proposal. – American Patriot.

It has always been true that the GOP congress members are far more comfortable remaining the minority party. They collect their checks and perks and do little more than hope for a Republican president.

In the GOP Bizarro World , House Speaker “Mr.” Sam Rayburn is John Boehner.

Former Sen. Alan Simpson joined the Brewer Parade bashing the Republicans mulling 2012 presidential campaigns on MSNBC’s “Hardball” Monday:  “Then you’ve got homosexuality,” he said. “You’ve got ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.’

“We have homophobes in our party. That’s disgusting to me. We’re all human beings. We’re all God’s children. … [Former Pennsylvania senator Rick] Santorum has said some cruel things, cruel, cruel things about homosexuals. Ask him about it. See if he attributes the cruelness of his remarks years ago. Foul.”

Just a little matter of the truth… Santorum never said anything close to that.

The RINOemeritus  continued:  ”…. I’m not sticking with people who are homophobic, anti-women, you know, moral values while you’re diddling your secretary while you’re giving a speech on moral values. Come on. Get off of it.”

And…

“Who the hell is for abortion? I don’t know anybody running around with a sign that says, have an abortion, they’re wonderful. They’re hideous.”

Apparently Simpson is deaf, dumb and blind:

Simpson added: ” (Abortion) is a deeply intimate and personal decision, and I don’t think men legislators should even vote on the issue.”

Idiot… I don’t think democrats should serve in the U.S. Congress, but that’s not the system we have, is it? Besides, if men don’t save unborn babies, no one will.

We face the most important election in our history, yet we are being sabotaged by the likes of the above who have never been conservative, Constitutionalists unwilling to back down from a fight… even when we hold the moral, political and patriotic high ground.

I fear that when it’s time for the GOP to stand up, it will vote “present”.

It is time….

We must withdraw our troops from the escalating war in Afghanistan and I don't care if the Neanderthals there hoot and holler until the next time their psychotic religion demands the sacrifice of a goat, a woman or a 12-year-old girl.

Yesterday I learned that a Texas Marine staff sergeant and his Navy corpsman were killed by one of Obama's Predator drones; there is no longer any need to support any military operation in this third-world piece of crap country unless the troops are recruited from the voter rolls of the Democrat party... and the entire Congressional membership.

And.... on the condition that Bawaney Fwank walks point.... every day.   

I've spent much of the last week around active duty military, reservists and veterans of wars spanning seven decades, and I demand more for these young men and women than this war, this president and this commander-in-chief.... and quite frankly, this society. 

"Staff Sgt. Jeremy D. Smith, of Arlington, and Navy Corpsman Benjamin Rast, both assigned to 1st Battalion, 23rd Marine Regiment, died Wednesday in combat in the Helmand province of southern Afghanistan.

On Monday, NBC learned the soldiers were killed by a Hellfire missile fired from a Predator drone."

This was Smith's fourth tour. He was studying criminal justice at UTA and was about a year away from graduating. But he ultimately wanted to return to the Marines as an officer.

Smith had completed three previous tours in Iraq before deploying to Afghanistan.

Rast, and outstanding high school athlete, is the 43rd Navy corpsman to be killed in Afghanistan and Iraq; he attended Lake Michigan College, where he majored in law enforcement and was a member of the college's National Honor Society.

Not a soul on earth could have stopped me from enlisting and going to Vietnam... I understand that some young men must ride to the sound of guns, but let us do our best to dissuade them, for we will need them at a future time when this nation is again worth dying for.

The left hates you, your family, your sons and daughters... the only reason the left pays any attention to the military is that they want it to closely resemble San Francisco's Castro District which is naturally shown here below. 

Footnote:

Taliban Whine: “The Marines Run Toward Our Bullets!”…

Since September, the Third Platoon of Kilo Company, Fifth Marine Regiment, in Sangin Province has shot somewhere between 125 and 208 Taliban — as many as one enemy killed per patrol. That rate may not seem high, but the cumulative effect has been crushing. Marine tactics, like Ohio State football, have the subtle inevitability of a steamroller.

“We got a radio intercept yesterday,” Lt. Garcia said. “Some Talib leaders in Pakistan were chewing out the local fighters for quitting. The locals yelled back, ‘Marines run toward our bullets.’”

Semper Fi, lads... Semper Fi.

It is not unusual, but ironic that both Smith and Rast were pursuing degrees in criminal justice and perhaps would have ultimately become doubly hated by your neighbors and some of your own relatives.

They wanted to be cops.

Meet Mumia Abu-Jamal whose momma not doubt called him Leonard Johnson... he is a sub-human piece of pond scum and (redundantly) a former member of the Black Panthers who was found guilty of murdering Philadelphia police officer Daniel J. Faulkner during a routine traffic stop in 1981.

Abu-Jamal was subsequently sentenced to death.

Yeah in a nation where most states consider death, life.... and for babies... life, death.

Die for this nation? this society? Not on your ass.

But wait it's worse... at the California Federation of Teachers' 2011 Convention in late March, the delegates passed resolutions largely pertaining to education and collective bargaining rights; but there was also Resolution 19 – to “Reaffirm support for death row journalist.”

“Therefore, be it resolved, that the California Federation of Teachers reaffirm its support and demand that the courts consider the evidence of innocence of Mumia Abu-Jamal,” the Committee Report reads." More here.

It would be grand if in addition to all Congressional democrats walking point.... all leftist school teachers did the same.

Do I mean I'd rather see these comm/unionists dead than our soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines....?

Absolutely.

It would help the economy, improve education, destroy unions and give our troops a chance to rest up. Besides when was the last time the left pulled it's weight in the country?

Think about it.

And let's not forget Abdulhakim Muhammad (whose momma calls him Leonard Johnson) who should be taking a dirt nap as an enemy of the United States, but of course is living life on your direct or indirect tax dollars. 

Muhammad is charged in Little Rock with capital murder in the June 2009 shooting death of Army Pvt. William Long outside a recruiting center. He has said the shooting was in retaliation for U.S. military action in the Middle East.

He's an update... he admits to murdering someone three years earlier.

And in Modor-on-the-Potomac the democrats fought for their budgeted millions to underwrite the cost of murdering babies, and at the same time refused to exempt the military from halting federal pay checks should the government "close down".

Does any of this need any further explanation?

All that’s missing is a fluffy kitten

I detest the Navy’s new ad campaign TV commercials which features a sci-fi “Transformer”-type aircraft full of nurses and doctors saving flood victims and handing out bottled water… Evian please.

All that’s missing is a fluffy kitten.

And the tag line?“America’s Navy..  A Global Force for Good.”

Puke.

But then what do you expect when the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,  “Mommy” Mike Mullen, an admiral so giddy over paving the way for openly gay sailors to help destroy the world’s premier navy, that I expect him to appear at the next Gay Rights parade in San Fran.

That is he over there, with his Cub Scout salute and his cover askew; looks gay to me.

Mullen has said “We treat each other (gays)with respect or we find another place to work. Period.”

That’s right, Gunny; you don’t like this, don’t let the door hit you in the six. We’re making room by getting rid of you for seamen recruits with the political agenda to turn then Navy into The Village People. They already have their own marketing tool.

The Navy’s new buzz phrase is just one more “chickification” of our military specifically, and our society in general.  “Global Force for Good” replaces the “Accelerate Your Life” campaign which was even more lame and could easily have been used for DeVry University… same with the Army’s “Be All You Can Be” and “Army of One.”

You get the trend here….?

The individual is stressed over the unit and the mission.

Our military is answering the question that should not be asked by recruits in the first place–”What’s in it for me?”

Our political-military is rewriting history: “Ask not what you can do for your country, ask what your country can do for you.”

But to my shipmates’ credit… the Navy Times reports that it has received 56 e-mails from readers, and all but six disliked the new slogan.

“This bumper-sticker jingle would look good on a flower-toting cart, but when an [aircraft carrier] that displaces over 100,000 tons pulls up off your coast, generally the thought is, ‘Oh crap, the U.S. Navy is here,’” said Information Specialist 1st Class Joshua Forman, 2nd Fleet Military Intelligence Operations Center.

“Some people disliked the slogan for practical reasons: “This is not ‘America’s Navy.’ It is the United States Navy … America encompasses two continents. The United States is located in just one. Tell them to get it right,” said retired Lt. Cmdr. Bill Jones.”

And what does it cost to “re-brand” the United States Navy and put it in a Volkswagen mini-bus?

“Campbell-Ewald, the Navy’s main advertising agency since 2000, was awarded its third five-year contract in May, worth as much as $800 million, partly on the strength of its “A global force for good” re-branding concept. The company and Recruiting Command have enough evidence that convinces them today’s young people will respond to an  appeal to a higher purpose.”

A “higher purpose” you latte-drinking metrosexual?

There is no higher purpose than serving your nation honorably, and hopefully getting the chance to kill some of the enemy during your career.

And yet, onboard the Navy’s website, you’ll find this…. Yea!! UPS stands on guard for you.

Hey, all hands… and let’s not forget to celebrate Women’s History Month…. which is right before Take Your Daughter to Work Day and just after Secretary’s Day.

No… not Navy Month or Military History Month or Large-caliber Weapons Month.

What about Medal of Honor Month…. National Medal of Honor Day was 25 March, but you won’t find that in the Navy budget line items.

No… for your tax dollars you get:  CHICK MONTH!! Which is just before Black History Month and just After Hispanic History Month… and I’m laying 10 to 1 that Muslim History Month is only one Obama re-election away. 

Naturally, all the colors of the rainbow (rainbow… get it?) are prominently displayed in the Navy ads… most of the females are of those carefully chosen models who appear to be a mixture of Mediterranean, Black, Oriental… somewhat exotic like the gal above.

This is what you need when build and maintain a focused, dedicated, cohesive military force?…  diversity, separate agendas, groups and sub-groups within the group? 

Can Puerto Rican lesbian defrocked nuns, and trannys be far behind?

“…The more effeminate and debauched the people are, the more they are fitted for an absolute and tyrannical government.” –Charles Thomson, Secretary to First Continental Congress

But thank God and 230 years of hard as nails Americans, there still is a Marine Corps.

The Corps has perfected the negative sell…. “… you can’t make it here, go away and don’t bother us.”

Marine Corps Medal of Honor Recipient Hershel Woodrow “Woody” Williams was rejected twice by a recruiter because he was too short. He refused to take no for an answer.

Less than two years later he helped turn the tide in one of the Corps’ most pivotal battles.

It will again my distinct privilege to break bread with Woody on Tuesday… the last survivor of 22 Marine and five Navy MOH Recipients cited for heroism on for Iwo Jima.  (I’ll post through next week on our annual Medal of Honor Weekend here in Gainesville… now in its 11th year. This year we are hosting 14 Recipients.)

Over the years the Corps has used variations of the  “you’re not good enough” theme: “First to Fight”,  ”We Didn’t Promise you a Rose Garden”, “The Few The Proud The Marines”, “Duty… Honor… Country.”

The Corps has maintained this simple recruiting (marketing) concept that has worked since Smedley Darlington Butler was a private, and before; we’re just looking for a small number of dedicated individuals who are full of testosterone, possess a clear mind, and above all, are willing to use maximum violence to kill our enemies.

Meanwhile, other branches do a disservice to their troops by painting them as Super Peace Corps Volunteers helping out natural disaster victims.

“Humanitarian missions”, “Peace keepers”. Crap.

The Corps will never run an ad that suggests someone join for college money, or to “be all you can be”.

The Corps offers one thing–you can be a Marine if you can hack it; if you doubt yourself, don’t take up the nice recruiter’s time.

Semper Fi… .

“… and with a start, the cabin boy realized there was no one at the helm.”

As the Middle East was fast becoming a cauldron of jihadist terror that will change the region forever, our Fifth-Columnist-in-Chief reviewed the Gilbert and Sullivan troops in some South American Country…

This is a leader at war:

This is a Manchurian Candidate at war: (pardon, than should have read: “This is a Manchurian Candidate at a kinetic military operation.”)

Back on home soil this waste of skin had the continued gall to blame President Bush, saying:  

“This (attacks on Libya) is how the international community should work—more nations, not just the United States, bearing the responsibility and cost of upholding peace and security…”

Facts and history are difficult to master for a left-wing community organizer in a $2,000 suit. Bush had twice the coalition partners in Iraq than signed on for this naked war for European oil.

FOX News today:

GATESGATE??

Obama on Libya: “It’s in Our National Interest to Act” — Defense Secretary Gates: “No, It’s Not a Vital Interest for the United States”…

All Americas must find this reassuring… just the same feeling you get when you hand the new Chevy keys to your ditzy 16-year-old daughter and her fellow cheerleaders: 

On NBC's "Meet the Press," Gates was asked, "Is Libya in our vital interest as a country?" He answered, "No, I don't think it's a vital interest for the U.S., but we clearly have interests there, and it's a part of the region which is a vital interest for the U.S."

But The Man with the Nuke Launch Codes:

“… when someone like Gadhafi threatens a bloodbath that could destabilize an entire region; and when the international community is prepared to come together to save many thousands of lives -- then it’s in our national interest to act,” President Obama says, “And it’s our responsibility.  This is one of those times.”

And just so you remember… this was going to take “days” not “weeks” to turn Libya over to…… rebels Al Qaeda.

Doesn’t this sound a bit familiar?

Let’s look back all the way back to two months ago:

Feb. 1 – (WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama says the passion and dignity demonstrated by the people of Egypt has been an inspiration.

He says young protesters will reach their destiny.

In brief remarks at the White House Tuesday evening, the president said, “We hear your voices.”

Feb. 7 -- (CBS News) When O’Reilly asked Mr. Obama about the presence of the Muslim Brotherhood and whether the group is a threat, Mr. Obama said, “I think they’re one faction in Egypt. They don’t have majority support in Egypt. But they’re well organized. There are strains of their ideology that are anti-U.S. There’s no doubt about it.”

Now, Cairo… 22 hours ago:

“Kamal El Helbawy, a spokesman of the Muslim Brotherhood, said “The Muslim Brotherhood are interested in the government, in the law that protects human dignity, freedom, equal opportunities, that stops corruption, and in favour of development. . . We are not rallying actively for Sharia Law, but it the majority wants it, then why not?”

As the best organized and most extensive opposition movement in Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood was expected to have an edge in the contest for influence. But what surprises many is its links to a military that vilified it. -- NY Times

Sources have found that in Egypt:

1. religion has emerged as a powerful political force; guess which religion.
2. The Brotherhood is at the forefront, and closely allied with the military government.
3. young, educated, secular activists who initially propelled the non-ideological revolution are no longer the driving political force… if they ever really were…. including that mysterious Goggle executive.

Libyan Rebel Leader Fought With Islamists Against US in Afghanistan

“Abdel-Hakim al-Hasidi, the Libyan rebel leader, has said jihadists who fought against allied troops in Iraq are on the front lines of the battle against Muammar Gaddafi's regime.”

So just to recap…. Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice, Samantha Power, haunted by the Clinton Administration’s failure to send troops to Rwanda to stop the genocidal attacks on the Hutus talked Barack Hussein Obama into aiding Al Qaeda in the overthrow of Libya.                   

See, when U.S. interests are at stake, the left, the radical left and communists (natch) are all opposed, but when we can send our military into a nightmare swamp for “humanitarian reasons”, …. then by gawd keep those body bags a comin’.

Wrong war.

Wrong time.

Wrong strategy.

Wrong president.

It’s high time you understand “who wears the pantsuit” in this operation

Germans pull forces out of NATO...
Allies in disarray...
DER SPIEGEL: Coalition of the Unwilling...
OBAMA: No ground troops, no matter what happens...
Redefines 'exit strategy'...
French PM: 'We are not at war'...
Costs, mission unclear...
Also backing the rebels -- al Qaeda...

News item:

March 20 — U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates says the Pentagon expects to turn control of the Libya military mission over to a coalition – led either by the French and British or by NATO – “in a matter of days.”

Since Jan. 20, 2009 I have strongly opposed young Americans enlisting in any of the military’s combat arms professions. I have encouraged parents of young men and women to insist that their sons and daughters wait until they can have a Commander-in-Chief worthy of their patriotism, service and their potential sacrifice.

At this very moment he’s sending our best and brightest in harm’s way, to be used by the French military which wants the Brits to take over operational control of the air strikes on Libyan strongman Gaddafi in hopes the Eurotrash will take the fall for an AWOL American president.

This is the world without the forceful, focused leadership of the United States.

This second-guessing waste of skin, this third-rate South Side Chicago political hack, this fifth-columnist, is not worthy to breathe America’s air, let alone send my young comrades to their deaths for no perceptible gains in an ill-defined mission, lead by incompetent, micro-managers placed in those roles for nothing more than political reasons.

Yet US air strikes were finally approved “only after [Secretary of State] Mrs. Clinton joined Samantha Power, a senior aide at the National Security Council, and Susan Rice, Mr. Obama’s ambassador to the United Nations, who had pressed the case for military action.”

Rush observed Tuesday that Obama’s three advisers had “talked him into  using force” against Gaddafi, while his male advisers had opposed the move: “We’re talking about male liberals! Of course they opposed it. They’re the new castrati … they’re sissies! And here’s the leader of the club, and he’s sitting in the Oval Orifice.”

The NYT’s Maureen Dowd called this Gyno-American War Department…”the Amazon Warriors, the Lady Hawks, the Valkyries.”

So, Mom, Dad, Grandpa… this limp-wristed, metro sexual punk theoretically responsible for two shooting wars has now handed over full strategic military leadership to female social workers inside Mordor-on-the-Potomac bunkers.

The commander-in-chief doesn’t want to take the heat for anything… he just wants to resume his vacation as soon as possible with liberal time off for the 2012 campaign.

Permanent Link to Navy chief- We’re not sure what the next stage is in Libya is

So… what about your young sailor, airman, soldier or Marine, Mom and Dad?

You raised them for this… the middle ring in a Chicago-styled, three-ring circus designed, organized and directed by unelected female politicians?

And to think LBJ still gets crap for personally hand-picking bombing targets in North Vietnam; at least he was the President and CnC.

So what’s the personal bottom line in all this? And by personal I mean the great young service members who will pay the price one way or another while politicians cash a hefty paycheck for sending them to their deaths, yet escape any earthly judgment.

Dodging a bullet:

Using two AV/8B Harriers, two MV-22 Ospreys and two CH-53E Super Stallions carrying a quick reaction force, Marine air crewmen rescued an F-15E Strike Eagle pilot who crashed while flying in support of Operation Odyssey.

The Harriers dropped two 500-lb bombs on a convoy of Libyan vehicles that they judged were a threat to the downed pilot, who had parachuted to safety. The Harriers also carried out strafing runs.

Our troops are in danger of capture and we’ve signed on to a horse designed by a domestic coalition of idiots.
