Rosie (after Rosie the Riveter)

Cigars and congratulations gladly accepted!

I’m seriously jealous.

So tell us: How’d you do it?

Gunnutt’s interview with Amy, at Crawford.

Just read it.

Since I got a response to my letter to the UN from a conservative whose humor meter was offline, let me straighten this out, seriously, once and for all.

Kofi, we neither want nor need your dirty money. We don’t want money from Belgium, France, Germany, or any other of you cowardly frightened Euroweasels. Not one penny.

We don’t need it. Last year alone, Americans gave over 240 billion dollars to charity. That’s 60,000% of the total UN aid given to the tsunami countries (and we’ll ignore all the money that never got to those victims because it was pocketed by those thug governments you UN creeps are so fond of). So however appropriate it may be, we don’t want your money.

There. That should settle things.

I’m getting real sick of a lot of things these days. Anti-war crap. Bush bashing. Dhimmicrat Senators and the Seven RINOs. Lots of things. But I’m sickest of liberaltarians screeching “police state!” every time they hear the word treason or sedition (ironic, since they love to throw “treason!” and “traitor!” around when it doesn’t apply).

A Navy SEAL is also sick of it. Read his letter here. A great letter, though my favorite part is the end:

Just because this law is politically unfeasible to enforce, doesn’t mean that those of you that are engaging in this sort of activity are not seditious and traitorous slime. You are. If I happen down the street and see you mocking the sacrifices of my comrades, your’e likely to catch the beating of a lifetime.

There’s not nearly enough of that going on these days.

Thank God for John Bolton–and thank God our President appointed him over the whining anti-American Demomorons in the Senate.

You know all that screeching the MSM has been doing about Bolton not being cooperative with those criminals at the UN? Well, the Center for Security Policy, unlike the MSM, gives us details about just how and why Bolton isn’t kissing Kofi Annan’s ass.

Dear Kofi Annan, Hans Blix, and other UN bureaucrats:

I suppose you’ve been so busy counting your illegally gained bribe money and trying to cover it up, printing up pro-terrorist T-shirts and posters, and trying to push through socialist bullshit “treaties” that you haven’t heard about Katrina, the hurricane that has done so much damage here.

You know. Hurricane. Like a tsunami, sort of. You remember tsunamis, right?

I’ll spare you a list of the damage done, or the count of our dead, and just get to the point.

Where is our UN foreign aid?

Considering that we pay a third of your budget, and considering that the only times the UN has ever decided to do anything but pass pointless resolutions the United States has provided most of the firepower, and considering all the damage you have done taking bribes, diverting funds, and encouraging terrorists and ruthless dictators (how’s Syria doing on that human rights commission, Hans?), the very least you can do is get up in front of television cameras, go on about how awful the hurricane was, wring your hands, and call for aid from the thugs and dictators that make up your ranks. Especially considering the “treaty” you tried to push through that would force us to pour 0.7% of our GDP into Africa (never mind that Africa has only gotten worse the more money they’ve gotten), and especially considering the insulting remarks you made about Ambassador Bolton, UN aid to the United States is more than called for.

So where’s the bucks?

Thanks for your time. You may now get back to printing up those Hezbollah T-shirts and laundering that dirty money.

No hippies seen. No birkenstocks. No corn-rows or dreadlocks. No “Bush Lied” or other assorted leftist signs. Not even a single backwards baseball cap, or other gangster wear.

Whew!

Well, they’re back. Students, I mean. And since we moved here this summer, other than a couple of trips to Wal-Mart on the edge of town, I haven’t yet seen the local fauna in their native habitat.

Today, I have no choice but to dare the “downtown” area (this is what the part of town edging campus is called, though it’s not really the business district). I may be traumatized by neo-hippies, though I have seen little evidence of them in Wal-Mart (then, would hippies shop at Wal-Mart?)

Okay, I’m working up the courage … get up, throw something presentable on, and dare the student district …

Report to follow.

My cable connection is flaky today–it will be on for fifteen minutes or so, then no signal for another fifteen minutes. I don’t have the patience to deal with this, so if this doesn’t stop, I just won’t be online much today.

We’ll see.

Pictures and a write up of the STFU Cindy 2005 Tour are here.

Seems the Frenchies are all down in the dumps these days (and who could blame them, being the utterly ineffectual and irrelevant clowns they are?) Ankle Biting Pundits says:

Only in France would the PM’s goal to be to “restore confidence”, rather than actually doing something. Perhaps if they gave up their welfare state and actually decided to work for a living they might be more “confident”.

Read the story.

This deserves a post, and not just a link. Their mission statement:

Our mission is to create, establish, and help maintain hometown memorials in honor of the brave men and women who have lost their lives defending the United States of America in the war against terrorism.

Lest They Be Forgotten.

There’s a reason the WW2 generation, is known as the Greatest Generation. To see why, all you have to do is look at Hollywood then—and to make the point clear, compare it to Hollywood now.

When we entered WW2 in 1941, Hollywood churned out pro-American pro-war movies, even cartoons. You can easily dismiss that as making a profit, of course, but that’s not where it stops. The greatest and most powerful directors of the era, Frank Capra, John Ford and John Huston, enlisted and fought for their country, as did star after star. Other stars, as well as the women, toured with the USO, worked for the war effort at home, and did what they could to support their nation during wartime. Here are just a couple:

Clark Gable, one of Hollywood’s greatest stars, exemplified the patriotism of the era. Gable turned down the opportunity to sit here and make movies, and instead, signed up. So did Jimmy Stewart and Henry Fonda, to name two. A full quarter of the men working in Hollywood signed up to serve their country.

The incomparable Carole Lombard flew to her home state of Indiana as a volunteer for the War Bonds effort. She was killed when the plane went down in Nevada on the way back to California. And speaking of incomparable, Hedy Lamarr developed frequency-hopping, to better control torpedoes, now the essential technology behind cell phones. Marlene Dietrich was an inexhaustible force for the Allies, touring for the troops, making public statements condemning her native Germany and Hitler. The list of patriotic icons in Hollywood from that era goes on and on. Bob Hope. Susan Hayward. Fred Astaire. Ginger Rogers. In fact, if you go through the list of stars, you can’t find one who didn’t aggressively support the United States and the war effort.

Even the weasels supported their country and the war effort. As an example, Chaplin made the movie Modern Times as an anti-Hitler movie. Chapin may have been a commie, but he didn’t hate his adopted homeland enough to withdraw his support of the war effort.

Today, of course, the Hollywood list that seems equally infinite comprises the anti-American, anti-patriot goon squad. I don’t need to name names here, though I do wonder why Alec Baldwin never moved out of the US as he promised (perhaps the “stars” of today are but castrated shadows of their Hollywood betters, and don’t have the guts to do anything but make empty promises). This weasel club also embraces idiotic “causes” such as PETA. In fact, if there is a way to bash the United States, these scumbags manage to do it. Hollywood has done a 180, from the strongest and most visible supporter of patriotism to the most raucous and despicable supporter of anti-patriotism.

What happened?

There were many people against the war in the 40s. However, except for the communists, once we entered the war, people did not try to undermine their own nation’s war effort at the time (and the communists soft-pedaled their opposition). It wasn’t done. Patriotism was supporting your country, not trying to destroy it while saying that you are “the true patriot” for trying to destroy it. We didn’t get that “concept” until the Sixties.

In the Sixties, this idea that “true patriotism” was going to the enemy and expressing your support, as Jane Fonda and many others did, or protesting in the streets and siding with the enemy against your own country started to gain a foothold. It wasn’t a fully developed concept, however. Most hippies were honest enough to admit that not supporting the war meant not supporting the troops, and the openly scorned the men who served their country. As more men were drafted, however, we saw the birth of the condescending and insulting “veteran as victim of the evil American war machine” idea.

Not until this war, however, did we see this concept fully formed. Unlike the hippies in the Sixties, the equivalent weasels today know if they don’t pretend to “support the troops” they will repel most Americans. So we have the Code Pinkos protesting in front of Walter Reed, and insisting that theirs is a “pro-military” protest.

As for Hollywood, the industry took a hard turn toward communism and the American left in response to the entirely appropriate purges of the Fifties, after the Hollywood giants, such as Louis B. Mayer, were gone. It was a movement without thought or substance, as it is today, a knee-jerk reaction. Its proponents today, Sarandon, Baldwin, Goldberg, you name it, are full of meaningless liberal platitudes. They’re reactionaries. They believe that being a mindless reactionary is somehow “patriotic,” and that the United States is inherently evil. So does any leftist who will actually tell you to your face that he’s a leftist because he “loves his country.”

The younger generation of “stars” is a different case. They have so readily swallowed this bullshit from their mentors in Hollywood for the same reason they embrace PETA: they have never known evil. Unlike Sarandon or Sheen, they did not see images of bloody bodies massacred by the Khmer Rouge on television, and have spent their adult lives in a post-USSR world. To their sugary minds, stepping on a cockroach is “evil.”

They deserve a pass, or at least consideration, for this. Their mentors do not.

Hollywood today encapsulates every repugnant anti-American facet of the left—including their breathtaking oblivion to America itself. It’s well past time for another purge. Whether this is accomplished by boycott or political action is immaterial, so long as it is done.

« Close it

Liberals are astounding for the twists and turns and irrational and illogical leaps they have to take. Astounding.

Let’s take this one liberal I know. I dearly love her, but she lives in this dense surreal fog that you can’t break through. Recently, she insisted that she does not support a nanny state, but she feels strongly that we must have laws to protect the environment. Uh, okay.

The problem is, no matter what the issue, she *always* feel strongly that we need to pass a law to control what people do–you know, for the “greater good” or “the environment” or “the children” or whatever socialist excuse. Every issue, she always thinks we need laws.

Here’s a quotation worth archiving:

“The Department of Justice Civil Rights Division found that the new identification requirements had no negative purpose or effect, nor is there any evidence, for that matter, that the voter ID requirements have a negative effect on the turnout of any voters,” said Brian Roehrkasse, spokesman for the Justice Department

H/T to Redstate Dot Org.

Over at the Museum of Left Wing Lunacy, there’s news that the moveon.org idiots are soliciting questions for female leftist (as in Democrat) senators to ask Roberts.

What do they think this is, a game show?

More to the point, though, is just how are these losers so arrogant that they think they’re going to get any answers? I don’t mean the moveon.morons; they’re completely insane. I mean the idiot losers like Boxer, the cleaned-up hippies that got elected as senators.

You lost. Accept it. And you’re going to lose again if you don’t suddenly come to your senses and realize that your anti-American pro-terrorist horseshit really offends Americans.

Except for the anti-American pro-terrorist scum, of course.

But now I know this, maybe I’ll set my TiVO to record the hearings. The nutball questions should be good.

H/T to Moonbat Central, who broke the story that the neo-Nazis are going to Crawford to join Cindy’s Code Pinko protest.

Since the MSM has ignored the praise the racists have heaped on Cindy so far, I doubt they’ll cover it.

So bloggers, have you submitted your blog to the Grand Old Portal yet?

Opens Monday!

Well, So much for the “objective” 9/11 Commission. Yet another source has confirmed the Able Danger story.

And yet again, we’re right, and the liberals were wrong.

What really pisses me off about this, though, is the anti-law enforcement Gorelick/Clinton crew reason for the wall of separation. He was legally here, so we can’t investigate.

They didn’t have any trouble investigating any of the militias, and they were legally here, being American citizens. But some raghead here on a visa, no, we can’t investigate him.

And yet again, we see why we need Patriot to undo all the damage liberals have done to our law enforcement.

H/T to GOP Insight.

Kicking some major deserter ass over at Cannickistan Chronicles.

And The Gunn Nutt reports on the counter-demonstration at Walter Reed (so now we know where he’s been!)

There are a lot of great blogs. But every once in a while, you run across one that stands out in some way, a blog you can’t stop reading.

I found one of those today: Small Town Veteran. Between the conservative rants (good ones, too) are posts whose honest, straightforward humanity and humility will tear at your heart. Stop by. You owe it to yourself.

Do the right thing.

H/T to Jenner. The great thing about this one is you don’t have to answer any stupid questions.

You are elegant, withdrawn, and brilliant. Your mind is a weapon, able to solve any puzzle. You are also great at poking holes in arguments and common beliefs. For you, comfort and calm are very important. You tend to thrive on your own and shrug off most affection. You prefer to protect your emotions and stay strong.

The World’s Shortest Personality Test

If you need to take some time off and laugh, better yet, laugh at liberals, here are two books that are both hilarious:

And second:

After three weeks of being in a very red state environment here, I just ran into really annoying, not to mention expensive, blue state bullshit.

Unlike Indiana, you have to have your car inspected here. Body, engine, and emissions. So today, I took my Explorer to Midas to get it inspected.

First, let’s begin with all the alternative nolanesque charts whose questions follow the format: “Who should decide …”

This is the worst questionnaire design anybody could ever produce. Surely, there is no better way to deliberately skew answers than by asking, “Who should decide if …” on a questionnaire.

These alternative quizzes are garbage.

So how about the classic nolan quiz? Well, the biggest problem with it is that it is so simplistic (reflecting the weltanschauung of its author and proponents) that it tells you absolutely nothing.

Let’s look at it:

If you’re sick of the health police screeching about second-hand smoke, and sticking their noses where they don’t belong–or if you’re one of those sorry pathetic excuses for a thinking human being, read this.

And can you name three?

I have to have the Explorer inspected today. So I can get a plate here.

Indiana does not make you inspect your vehicles. Everybody here I’ve said that to has responded with, “Really?!” as if they had never heard of a conservative state, or couldn’t imagine the government not intruding on citizens’ private property and collecting hidden taxes (because, of course, that’s exactly what it is).

Wait. John Gibson’s doing My Word. Always a must-see.

Okay. Where was I? Oh yes. Hidden taxes. Part of my irritation here is offset by the fact that you pay a flat registration fee for your car or truck; in Indiana, you pay a property tax, not a registration fee, and how much you pay depends on the make, model, and year of your vehicle. So I’m not going to get too bent out of shape about this.

But it does burn my ass.

Hat tip to Blogmeister.

Seems ol Al is going to hop on board the Code Pink Hate America crew. That brings a few questions to mind:

• So Al, are your ratings down?
• Do you think you can find somebody to fake a “hate crime” down there?
• Do you think you can whip up a riot and maybe get somebody else murdered?

Just wondering, Al. Keep the faith!

The Quote of the Week Award goes to Dr. Phat Tony, who said the following about CAIR:

“Just because an organization supports terrorists, has had leadership amongst the group arrested for terrorism and then doesn’t condemn terrorists does not mean they’re terrorists.”

In one sentence, he has distilled the nature of CAIR, the PC mindset of ABC, and the absurdity and destructiveness of it all. Give him a hand!

Sean, you’re a great American and I love listenting to your show. But apparently today is moonbat day.

We had Medea from one of the loony leftist groups protesting outside Walter Reed. Next up is Paul Begala, the commie news network’s “voice from the left” (contemplate the perspective there), and then, that saucy Europeon queen of howling moonbats, Arianna Huffington.

Sean, I just don’t know how long I can listen to their blather–especially after hearing Medea Moonbat go on about how the protests outside Walter Reed were pro-military. Give me a break.

Let’s go with Medea. Okay, you know her parents didn’t name her that, and she’s one of the self-named TofuSpirit crowd. (Never mind that she obviously doesn’t know her mythology, or surely she would have reconsidered taking the name of a woman who murdered her children–unless, of course, it’s a pro-abortion statement). Medea from … [drum roll] … San Francisco!

Okay, Sean, we’ve had TWO major hints that she’s a loony leftist. But those aren’t the only ones. You know immediately that anybody who says she’s a “totally non-violent person” and an “activist for peace” is a wackjob. But yes, it gets better! She was also one of the WTO protest organizers, and she’s proud of it! She even called it the WTO riots. Riots. Then, when Sean confronted her about the millions of dollars of vandalism, she offered her theory that they were “infiltrators” (no doubt conservatives).

Sean, read my lips: Moonbat. Mooooooon–bat. Nutcase.

I’m still listentning. But I suspect as soon as you’re done with the callers and introduce Begala, I’ll change the channel.

But Sean. You’re a great American.

Funny as hell!

Ex-Donkey Blog is right. Everybody should watch this.

Then go read this.

And for your loony leftists, here is why we voted for George W Bush:

On September the 11th, 2001, we saw the future that the terrorists intend for our country and the lengths they’re willing to go to achieve their aims. We faced a clear choice. We could hunker down, retreating behind a false sense of security, or we could bring the war to the terrorists, striking them before they could kill more of our people.

I made a decision — America will not wait to be attacked again. Our doctrine is clear: We will confront emerging threats before they full materialize. And if you harbor a terrorist, you’re just as guilty as the terrorist.

We will stay on the offense. We’ll complete our work in Afghanistan and Iraq. An immediate withdrawal of our troops in Iraq, or the broader Middle East, as some have called for, would only embolden the terrorists and create a staging ground to launch more attacks against America and free nations. So long as I’m the President, we will stay, we will fight, and we will win the war on terror.

The full text of the speech is here.

I made a deal with Gunnnutt that we’d let each other know if there were Michael Graham updates.

Here it is.

First, there’s a Support Michael Graham site. But more to the point, Graham is going to be on Righttalk.com, a streaming right-wing radio talk show site. The headline: Rightalk welcomes MICHAEL GRAHAM on MICHAEL GRAHAM UNLEASHED Monday-Friday 12-1pm EST starting August 29th!

Cannuckistan Chronicles has an article about Sikhs suing to wear turbans instead of hardhats on the construction site.

Er, don’t they get it? Steel bars falling from above, and all that?

At any rate, can’t they wear turbans *under* their hardhats? Or would that violate some weird Marxist Canuckistani law?

H/T to the guys at Blue State Conservatives. I’m not going to go near the protestors at Walter Reed; you’ll have to read it at BSC.

Dennis Prager has written an article addressing the left’s “we don’t support the war but we support the troops” bullshit. Thank God somebody has finally said it. If you support the troops, you support the war. Period. That’s all, folks.

Yesterday, Pat Buchanan was on Hannity. The Lew Rockhead morons have made quite a big deal out of Pat’s opposition to the war. However, there is a distinction between Pat, on one hand, and Rockhead, Raimondo, and the loony leftists, on the other.

On the radio, Buchanan said this (I’m doing this from memory and don’t have the transcript): “No, I didn’t support invading Iraq. But the President took it to Congress, and Congress approved the invasion. That made it *our war*, not the President’s war. And now that we’re there, we have to win–and I want them to win, because it’s *our war*.”

Pat may be a paleocon, and he may be an isolationist, and he may have all kinds of faults. But he’s an American, he understands patriotism, duty and honor, and he doesn’t sell those principles out just to push his agenda.

After all the howling and squealing, all the crocodile tears, and all the spitting on her son’s grave Cindy Sheehan has been doing, Blackfive has published an article about Casey Sheehan that honors his memory and heroism.

Go read it. And that’s an order.

The evening I got here from Indiana, I looked for a place to fly the flag. Nothing in the front of the house. I did find a thingee (what do you call those things, anyway?) on the back porch. So that’s where the flag is.

A bit odd, but okay. Since we’re right on the main drag, it’s not like you can’t see the flag, or it’s hidden.

Well, on the way back from town this morning, I thought I’d take a drive through the neighborhood, just to see it, since I hadn’t yet. And I noticed something. Not one house has a flag in front. Not one.

I wonder if this is coincidence, or if it’s some liberal-appeasing policy by the homeowners’ association.
