Obama’s purse chihuahua yaps about disastrous U.S. troop levels in Iraq.

A senior military official said by reducing the number of troops to 3,000, the White House has effectively reduced the mission to training only.

“There is almost no room for security operations in that number; it will be almost purely a training mission,” this official said. The official added that a very small number of troops within that 3,000 will be dedicated to counter-terrorism efforts, but that’s not nearly what Gen. Lloyd Austin, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, wanted.

This shift is seen by various people as a cost-saving measure and a political measure. White House spokesman Jay Carney said Tuesday that the U.S. has operated responsibly to meet the year-end deadline to remove troops from … Continue reading →

Hoffa Shoots Eight, Kills Three!

Now where is the cowardly and dishonest New York Times?  They rushed to pin the Loughner shootings on Sarah Palin, and hid behind a fusillade of excuses.  I will never forget their snivelling attempt to explain their wrongdoing, entitled Time, The Enemy.  As if those SOBs are the only people to work on a deadline.  The problem is that there is no deadline for smearing conservatives–that’s an internal goal, not a requirement of publication.

The real problem is that they focus on interpreting, rather than reporting.  Everything must go into the narrative, or it is rejected.  They felt that they could not report on the Loughner shooting without somehow pinning it on conservatives, because a prominent victim was a popular Democrat.

Notice that no matter how many … Continue reading →

The Undiscerning and Dangerous Appreciation of Ron Paul

By | | , , ,
Leave a comment

Here’s a scorching article describing why Ron Paul is a coward and a liar.  He refuses to clean out his camp, and he purports to hold  a set of views which are so miserably inconsistent that it cannot be an innocent mistake.  One cannot love liberty enough to act for it without hating tyranny enough to act against it.  Ron Paul does not actually love liberty–he merely hates an unusual grouping of people.

One can not spend thirty years connected to holocaust-deniers, anti-semites, and explicit anarchists without red flags going up.  For what it is worth, I do not believe Ron Paul is a holocast denier or an anti-semite.  I think he is worse.  I think he is a coward.  Ron Paul knows full well that his closest … Continue reading →

The Insanity of Chaz Bono and Her Mother

By | | , ,
Leave a comment

Chaz Bono is a mentally ill woman who has been mutilated by talented but twisted doctors. This process of “gender re-assignment” is a cultural phenomenon and a sign that we live in some very sick times. People become convinced of many things which are not true, but this does not obligate doctors to perform surgery in honor of such madness.

I wrote about this several years ago, in the case of a Florida city manager:

This is no simple personal elective surgery that Steve Stanton has chosen. It is not like removing an appendix before journeying to Antarctica, or having those tonsils out after a series of non-specific illnesses. Those are procedures which rational arguments can be mustered both for and against. The procedure … Continue reading →

Blaming Obama is a popular pastime around here. Around my keyboard, that is. Yes, he’s a Marxist, no he’s never accomplished anything, and maybe his anti-Americanism is manifest, but perhaps it’s merely latent. His economics are disastrous and unyielding, his foreign policy is disastrous and always yielding, and he either does not understand how to protect America or does not care to do so. His obsequious bowing and kowtowing will be remembered long after his “historic” status is forgotten.  Someday a black President who doesn’t hate blacks will be elected by Americans who don’t hate America. He is nothing.

[pullquote]America deserves Obama.[/pullquote]The real problem is America itself, and we fool ourselves by thinking that electing a majority here, taking the executive chair … Continue reading →

Fatwa Against Ron Paul

By | | , , , , ,
Leave a comment

[dc]I[/dc] direct your attention to the excellent and overlooked article  The Case Against Ron Paul by Gregory Hilton.  He goes to some length puncturing the inflated claims and exposing the outright falsehoods made by the Ron Paul crowd.

Make no mistake, among other complaints, Ron paul is:

  • a third-party spoiler
  • an isolationist
  • a protectionist
  • an open borders advocate
  • anti-Israel

Don’t take my word for it.  Read the backing facts on Hilton’s blog.

Ron Paul subscribes to a number of conspiracy theories, and has a snake-handling literalist’s view of the Constitution.  I’m a staunch originalist, but that does not mean I view the only valid means of defending our country to be the issuance of “letters of marque and reprisal”.  To Ron Paul, that’s exactly what it means.

Gibson Guitar Stamp Act

[dc]T[/dc]his is tyranny, folks. 

Federal agents swooped in on Gibson Guitar Wednesday, raiding factories and offices in Memphis and Nashville, seizing several pallets of wood, electronic files and guitars. The Feds are keeping mum, but in a statement yesterday Gibson’s chairman and CEO, Henry Juszkiewicz, defended his company’s manufacturing policies, accusing the Justice Department of bullying the company. “The wood the government seized Wednesday is from a Forest Stewardship Council certified supplier,” he said, suggesting the Feds are using the aggressive enforcement of overly broad laws to make the company cry uncle.

It’s not enough to know that the body of your old guitar is made of spruce and maple: What’s the bridge made of? If it’s ebony, do you have the paperwork to show when and … Continue reading →

On Refusing Orders

[dc]Y[/dc]ou need a lot more justification than this:

A service member who refused to report to duty earlier this month because he doubted President Barack Obama’s citizenship is to be discharged from the Air Force, the Associated Press reported Wednesday.
Staff Sgt. Daryn Moran, 41, of Omaha, Neb., an ophthalmology technician with the 86th Airlift Wing at Ramstein Air Force Base in Germany also had called for Obama’s arrest in statements on websites. He said he didn’t consider his orders valid because he doesn’t consider Obama’s presidency valid.

Frankly he should have been jailed. A simple discharge is too good for him. We cannot run a military if administrative matters are eligible for review at every level of the chain of command. If an … Continue reading →

Debt Deal: Arranged Defeat

[dc]I[/dc]t’s the grift that keeps on grifting.  They dodge responsibility and fund our destruction in the short term, while deferring even worse decisions to a “bipartisan” group.  I am proud to have opposed this arranged defeat, the debt ceiling compromise bill, here , here , here , here and here, among other posts and places.

Ann Barnhardt is quite focused on how bad this deal was:

I stand here in abject stupefaction.  The so-called “right” or “Tea Party” in this republic is being so thoroughly rolled and defeated that I am struggling to come … Continue reading →

What, No Zoroastrians?

[dc]G[/dc]et this:   The descendants of slave-holding Native American plantation owners (yes, that’s right) have ejected the descendants of the African-American slaves from the tribe.

The Cherokee nation voted after the Civil War to admit the slave descendants to the tribe.
But on Monday, the Cherokee nation Supreme Court ruled that a 2007 tribal decision to kick the so-called “Freedmen” out of the tribe was proper.

So there’s that. The problem comes in when people start calling this “21st century apartheid”, when the whole point of a federal tribal system is to protect Native Americans and not other sorts of Americans.
On the other hand, there’s a good argument that the “Freedmen” have earned a place in the tribe:

Some 4,000 Indians died during the forced march, which … Continue reading →
