War, HUH, WHAT is it good for?

Every time I hear a moonbat say that "war never solved any problems" I just turn my ears off. They are coming from a Moonbeam and Unicorn world that has little to do with reality; where holding hands and singing Kum-Ba-Yah is all that is needed for any "misunderstanding between people" to be solved.

I wish the world DID work that way, but on all too many occasions I've been faced with the grim reality that there are people that have ONLY one thing in mind; to do me and mine physical harm, and they won't let a kind heart stop them.

The next time I hear this tripe, I think I'll just refer them to this:

F.E.T.E.

A new Blog on the Roll

I found a new site that really interested me. It's run by vets of both the Afghanistan and Iraq campaighns, and their goal is to bring out the truth, both good and bad about the War on Terror.

So when you have a moment, go to Vets for Freedom at the top of my "National Stuff" blogroll, and give them all the support you can.

These men and women have EARNED the right to opine on the subject as most of the those who blather on about "massacres" and "quagmires" HAVEN'T.

H/T to Kiril over at Sneakeasy's Joint for the heads up.

Think About It !!

I got this in my e-mail from Catfish today, and while it's certainly totally un-PC, it's certainly food for thought....

You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction.

You call me "Whiteboy", "Cracker", "Honkey", "Whitey" and you think it's OK.

But when I call you, nigger, Kike, Towelhead, Sand-nigger, Camel Jockey, Beaner, Gook, or Chink you call me a racist.

You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you, so why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live?

You have the United Negro College Fund.
You have have Ma'uled Al-Nabi
You have the NAACP.
You have BET.

If we had WET(white entertainment television) we'd be racists.

If we had a White Pride Day you would call us racists.

If we had white history month, we'd be racists.

If we had an organization for only whites to "advance" our lives, we'd be racists.

If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships, you know we'd be racists.

There are over 60 openly proclaimed Black Colleges in the US, yet if there were "White colleges" that would be a racist college.

In the Million Man March, you believed that you were marching for your race and rights. If we marched for our race and rights, you would call us racists.

You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and you're not afraid to announce it. But when we announce our white pride, you call us racists.

You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us.
But, when a white police officer shoots a black gang member or beats up a black drug-dealer running from the law and posing a threat to society, you call him a racist.

I am proud.

But, you call me a racist.

Why is it that only whites can be racists?

Quagmire? HAH!

Seems if we would wish a Moonbat harm; the best place to send them is NOT Iraq, but Washington D.C. ......

2 Never, Wanda! You got just enough common sense to make it interesting, unlike the Moonbat division of your side of the aisle.

Polititians as sustenance

Two alligators were sitting in the swamp talking. The smaller one turned to the bigger one and said, "I cain't unnerstand how you kin be so much bigger 'n me. We're the same age, we was the same size as kids. I just don't get it."

"Well," said the big 'gator, What you been eatin' boy?"

"Politicians, same as you," replied the small 'gator.

"Hmm. Well, where do y'all catch 'em?"

"Down 'tother side of the swamp near the parkin' lot by the capitol."

"Same here. Hmm. How do you catch 'em?"

"Well, I crawls up under one of them Lexus and wait fer one to unlock the car door. Then I jump out, grab 'em on the leg, shake the shit out of 'em, and eat 'em!"

"Ah!" says the big alligator, "I think I see your problem. You ain't gettin' any real nourishment. See, by the time you get done shakin' the shit out of a Politician, there ain't nothin' left but an asshole and a briefcase

Modern Technology...

MODERN AGE GROCERY STORE
The new Supermarket near our house has an automatic water miser to
keep the produce fresh. Just before it goes on, you hear the sound of
a thunderstorm and the smell of fresh rain.

When you approach the milk cases, you hear cows mooing and witness
the scent of fresh butter fat.

When you approach the egg case, you hear hens cackle and the air is
filled with the pleasing aroma of eggs frying.

So far I have been too afraid to go down the toilet paper aisle.....

Media, Murtha and "war crimes"

Odysseus has an excellant post on the media's treatment of the Haditha affair.

I think he's correct, no matter WHAT the final results of the investigation, the Marine Corps, and by association, all branches of the Service lose.

WHOO HOO!

It's been said that a man that brings a knife to a gun fight is a fool, but when thats all you have, ya gotta work with what you have, and Thomas Autry proves that desperation can be the edge that wins the day, even against 4 to 1 odds.

Result? One goblin dead, one in critical condition, and two others sitting in the greybar motel awaiting charges.

They just picked the wrong Marine as a victim of their predation, and received a just result from their efforts. One thing that bothers me....seems that the survivors will be charged with aggravated assault and robbery...I believe that they should also face murder charges. In every jurisdiction I'm familiar with, when a death occurs as the direct result of the commision of a felony, those committing the crime are held responsible for that death.

The fact that they were armed with firearms, and in at least one instance, discharged their weapon, it becomes even more urgent that they face this larger charge. From my understanding of the facts so far, none of the miscreants were even legally allowed to possess a weapon in the first place, being underage.

They should just be thankful that Cpl. Autry had chosen not to carry a firearm himself, or they would not be having the luxury of a trial.

Cpl. Autry says he is not a hero, but I beg to differ.

"The heroes are those guys out there fighting for us every day and not getting respect," he said, referring to military personnel fighting in Iraq and elsewhere.

That [killing the attacker] wasn't admirable, it was fight or flight and I tried the flight."

No, Cpl., You did the prudent thing as a basicly unarmed citizen until you had no other choice. Attempting flight against 4 to 1 odds is not cowardice, and when you no longer had the option, you stepped up in the true tradition of the Corps and overcame the enemy.

The enemy isn't just on the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan, unfortunately, they also roam our own streets, and all too many citizens fear to make any effort at their own defense against these predatory animals, putting their trust in the fallacious belief that only the Police can protect them.

You stood up to the threat, and in my book, that makes you a hero.

One other point....I'm somewhat reluctant to bring up, but it's the truth as I feel it would have been.....

I'm glad that everyone involved was black, I am sure that had Cpl. Autry been white, he would have had a some press coverage painting him as an evil racist murdering a poor black girl, making what was undoubtedly a very traumatic incident for him even worse.

If that perception on my part makes me a racist, so be it. But all I can go by is past events, and it seems that every time it's a white/black situation, the white side of the equation seems to have to overcome at least a hint of presumption of guilt. I hate feeling that way, but the news as reported these days keeps reinforcing that ugly feeling.

Holland, I Cry for Thee

I cry for the country of my birth. Seems that the Moonbats have totally taken over.

Pedaphiles have banded together to form their own political party...and they just may succeed in being on the next election's slate of choices.

The goal of the new party is to reduce the age of sexual consent from 16 to 12 (with the ultimate goal of erasing any limit whatsoever), allow the private possession of child porn, legalize beastiality, and allow porn to be telecast on broadcast tv.

HOW can the Dutch people allow even the consideration of such a platform?!?!? the fact is that most Dutch DO oppose this travesty. An opinion poll published Tuesday showed that 82 percent wanted the government to do something to stop the new party, while 67 percent said promoting pedophilia should be illegal.

What really bothers me is that, if that poll is to be believed, some 18% of the people are in line with the goals of this new party, and WORSE 33% of those polled are tolerant of Pedaphilia.

That is not the Dutch people I know. We have long had a well deserved reputation of tolerance for "different" lifestyles and choices and for having a "live and let live as long as you don't harm anyone" philosophy; but NEVER in my wildest dreams would I have thought that that tolerance would extend to these depths of depravity. By it's very nature, Pedophilia and child porn harms those least able to defend themselves, and as such, should be fought with the greatest vigor possible.

But this is the only possible end result of "total acceptance of every view as valid" as is espoused by the Progressives here. NO, I don't believe that Progressives are child molesters and kiddie porn afficianados...but if you follow their "moral neutral" policies to their logical conclusion, that is what you WILL end up with. Let what is happening in Holland serve as a warning, lest we slide down the same slope.

Times Publisher comes clean

It's finally happened, folks. A major member of the LSM has come right out and admitted the agenda that most of the media follows, but denies.

In a commencment speech delivered to the State University of New York, New York Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. urged "protection for his reporters and photographers "in war-torn Iraq" so they can bring back stories about a "misbegotten war" (and thus help undermine the Bush Administration's foreign policy)".

Read the speech and read between the lines, and you can have no doubt as to the agenda being espoused. Moonbats may say that he "didn't SAY to "impeach Bush", or "show the white flag in Iraq", but as a newspaper publisher, Mr. Sulzberger should be very aware that words have meaning and the subtext of the speech is clear (thats "nuance" for you in the Progressive community).

I can wholeheartedly agree with him when he says to: "Engage. Help make decisions. Vote......Knowing what’s happening in your world, your country, your neighborhood is the critical precursor to being a citizen of a democracy. Each one of you who forsakes your role in keeping our democracy alive by either inaction or, perhaps worse, by action based on ignorance, threatens all the rest of us."

My disconnect from his statement ensues when he urges those students to "read a newspaper" (presumably the NY Times) to be sure that they are informed about what is going on.

Knowing many people serving in the war zone, and comparing their version on events to what the major news outlets put out to the public, I am confident that if I relied solely on the Media, I would have a far different opinion (about the war) than I do. I believe that "the truth" probably lies somewhere in between the two versions. And what I believe to be "the truth" more than justifies our presence on the field of battle.

These Colors don't run

While reading the comments on Misha's Memorial Day post, I came across this poem posted by MrsM of the CIA blog. It embodies the soldiers creed of Duty, Honor, and Country.

A protest raged on a courthouse lawn,
Round a makeshift stage they charged on,
Fifteen hundred or more they say,
Had come to burn a Flag that day.
A boy held up the folded Flag,
Cursed it, and called it a dirty rag.
An OLD MAN pushed through the angry crowd,
With a rusty shotgun shouldered proud.

His uniform jacket was old and tight,
He had polished each button, shiny and bright.
He crossed that stage with a soldier’s grace,
Until he and the boy stood face to face.

“FREEDOM OF SPEECH”, the OLD MAN said,
“Is worth dying for, good men are dead,
So you can stand on this courthouse lawn,
And talk us down from dusk to dawn,
But before any Flag gets burned today,
This OLD MAN IS GOING TO HAVE HIS SAY!!

My father died on a foreign shore,
In a war they said would end all war.
But Tommy and I wasn’t even full grown,
Before we fought in a war of our own.
And Tommy died on Iwo Jima’s beach,
In the shadow of a hill he couldn’t quite reach
Where five good men raised this Flag so high,
That the WHOLE WORLD COULD SEE IT FLY.

I got this bum leg that I still drag,
Fighting for this same old Flag.
Now there’s but one shot in this old gun,
So now it’s time to decide which one,
Which one of you will follow our lead,
To stand and die for what you believe?
For as sure as there is a rising sun,
You’ll burn before this Flag burns, son.

Now this riot never came to pass.
The crowd got quiet and that can of gas,
Got set aside as they walked away
To talk about what they had heard this day.
And the boy who had called it a “dirty rag”,
Handed the OLD SOLDIER the folded Flag.

So the battle of the Flag this day was won
By a tired OLD SOLDIER with a rusty gun,
Who for one last time, had to show to some,
THIS FLAG MAY FADE, YET THESE COLORS DON’T RUN

Memorial Day....one of the "overlooked" holidays. It seems these days that only those that have tasted the fire and steel of war really KNOW what this day truly means. For many these days, it seems to be just a day off; the kick-off of the Summer season, when the first picnic BBQ is fired up in the backyard with the radio blaring out the Indianapolis 500 in the background.

I regret that loss of meaning. This is supposed to be a day of reflection, a day of honoring those that died in the defense of everything we hold dear; a day to realize that freedom isn't free and that we are blessed that so many brave patriots in the past were willing to pay that ultimate price so that we may feel secure in our land.

Never forget that it was not only those men, but their families that share in that sacrifice.

Never forget that it is not only the soldier, but the Police Officer that stands between us and those that would do us harm.

Those men didn't want to pay that price, but they were willing to risk having to do so for their families, their comrads in arms, and their nation.

Marine CPL. Joshua Miles says if better than I ever could:

To all those that served, Past, Present, and Future, and pay that price with their Blood, Sweat, and Tears, I humbly thank you. May your sacrifices never be forgotten.

To those that sit here safe at home and decry that "war is never the answer"
and/or claim to "support the troops, but not the war"....may your chains lay lightly upon you, but do not claim that you are my brother; seek not to lay those chains on me.

Kids say the DARNDEST things

JACK (age 3) was watching his Mom breast-feeding his new baby sister.
After a while he asked: "Mom why have you got two? Is one for hot and one for
cold milk?"

MELANIE (age 5) asked her Granny how old she was. Granny replied she was
so old she didn't remember any more. Melanie said, "If you don't remember you
must look in the back of your panties. Mine say five to six."

STEVEN (age 3) hugged and kissed his Mom goodnight. "I love you so much,
that when you die I'm going to bury you outside my bedroom window."

BRITTANY (age 4) had an earache and wanted a painkiller. She tried in
vain to take the lid off the bottle. Seeing her frustration, her Mom explained
it was a childproof cap and she'd have to open it for her. Eyes wide with
wonder, the little girl asked: "How does it know it's me?

SUSAN (age 4) was drinking juice when she got the hiccups. "Please don't
give me this juice again," she said, "It makes my teeth cough."

DI (age 4) stepped onto the bathroom scale and asked: "How much do I
cost?"

MARC (age 4) was engrossed in a young couple that were hugging and
kissing in a restaurant. Without taking his eyes off them, he asked his dad: "Why is he whispering in her mouth?"

JAMES (age 4) was listening to a Bible story. His dad read: "The man named
Lot was warned to take his wife and flee out of the city but his wife looked
back and was turned to salt." Concerned, James asked: "What happened to the
flea?"

TAMMY (age 4) was with her mother when they met an elderly, rather wrinkled
woman her Mom knew. Tammy looked at her for awhile and then asked, "Why
doesn't your skin fit your face?

The Sermon I think this Mom will never forget.... this particular Sunday
sermon..."Dear Lord," the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. "Without you, we are but dust."
He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter (who was listening!) Leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little
girl voice, "Mom, what is butt dust?"
