Now THAT'S a Cluebatting!™

Murdock Online has a post up with the response of Steven Vincent's wife to Juan Cole's online slurring of her dead husbands reputation on August 8, 2005. (4th link down on that days postings)
Linking to merely speculative ramblings from the British press is almost excusable, we've all linked to stories that we may not agree with, just to show all sides of an issue/incident, in fact I linked to the same blather from the Brits in THIS post to make sure everyone gets the whole picture;but Mr. Cole just HAD to add his own (as usual) off the mark and inane opinion to add yet another cut on a dead mans honor.

Lisa Ramaci-Vincent's response is a prime example of how to administer a Cluebat™ to an Idiotarian's skull, and truly a wonder to behold.

No hyperboly, no rant, just a recounting of facts and a well controlled widow's rage directed at the moron that kicked her soul mate when he was no longer around to defend himself.

Ms. Ramaci-Vincent, I salute you and offer my meager condolences on your loss,nay, I grieve for the loss of us all, for we have loss a great voice of Truth.

DU Rounds

I've noticed that there have been an increasing number of those in the anti-war camp that use the canard that "we are turning Iraq into a nuclear toxic waste area" with the use of DU (depleted uranium) rounds. I was all set to try to dig up the scientific evidence pro and con on this issue when I found that Odysseus had already done the scut work, and being the lazy paleo-con I am, decided to just give a link to his excellent post on the matter. The fact that the Major has served as an artillery officer, and thus has first hand knowledge of the subject, only lends credence to his contentions.

In a nutshell,by all the data, unless you receive a significant amount of imbedded shrapnel AND allow it to remain there for an extended period of time, the arguments against DU rounds is comepletely specious.

Islam--R.o.P.?

Still believe that Islam is a "Religion of Peace", and can reform it's violent fringe? Jason Pappas has something you should read then.

He does an excellant job of demonstrating that Islam just cant reform itself, when he says in a comment subsequent to this post:

"..I’m not arguing that Christianity guarantees a peaceful society with tolerance and respect for individual rights. My argument aims at something more modest: that Christian doctrine and the example of Jesus are not great impediments to the option of such a peaceful society. Thus, the choice, which I hope Christians will take, of creating liberal democracy doesn’t require tremendous logical contortions and self-deception."

"Islam is a political ideology and Muhammad ruled oppressively. Can Islam choose individual rights and liberty with universal respect in a pluralistic society? Not without great contradiction to the ideology. It’s just not an option in Islam."

Cops Say the Darndest Things

Cops say the darndest things! The following were taken off of actual
police car videos around the country. (I can't vouch for that, but as a former LEO, I can say that they sound realistic to me -D-)

"Relax, the handcuffs are tight because they're new. They'll stretch
out after you wear them awhile."

"Take your hands off the car, or I'll make your birth certificate a
worthless document."

"If you run, you'll only go to jail tired."

"Can you run faster than 1,200 feet per second? In case you didn't
know, that is the average speed of a 9 mm bullet fired from my gun."

"So you don't know how fast you were going. I guess that means I can
write anything I want on the ticket, huh?"

"Yes, Sir, you can talk to the shift supervisor, but I don't think it
will help. Oh.... did I mention that I am the shift supervisor?"

"Warning! You want a warning? O.K., I'm warning you not to do that
again or I'll give you another ticket."

"The answer to this last question will determine whether you are
drunk or not. Was Mickey Mouse a cat or a dog?"

"Fair? You want me to be fair? Listen, fair is a place where you go
to ride on rides, eat cotton candy, and step in monkey poop."

"Yeah, we have a quota. Two more tickets and my wife gets a toaster
oven."

"In God we trust, all others we run through NCIC."

"Just how big were those two beers?"

"No sir we don't have quotas anymore. We used to have quotas but now
we're allowed to write as many tickets as we want."

"I'm glad to hear the Chief of Police is a good personal friend of
yours. At least you know someone who can post your bail."

And the best one...

"You didn't think we gave pretty women tickets? You're right, we
don't." "Sign here."

Go, Grandpa!

This is purported to be an actual job application that a 75 year old senior citizen

NAME: George Martin

SEX: Not lately, but I am looking for the right woman, (or at least,
one who'll cooperate).

DESIRED POSITION: Company President or Vice President. But seriously,
whatever's available. If I was in a position to be picky, I wouldn't
be applying here in the first place?

DO YOU HAVE ANY PHYSICAL CONDITIONS THAT WOULD PROHIBIT YOU FROM
LIFTING UP TO 50 lbs.?: Of what?

DO YOU HAVE A CAR?: I think the more appropriate question here would
be "Do you have a car that runs?"

HAVE YOU RECEIVED ANY SPECIAL AWARDS OR RECOGNITION?: I may already be a winner of the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes, so they tell me.

DO YOU SMOKE?: On the job - no, on my breaks - yes.

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE DOING IN FIVE YEARS?: Living in the Bahamas
with a fabulously wealthy dumb, sexy, blonde, supermodel who thinks

YOUR KNOWLEDGE?: Oh yes, absolutely.

F.Y.I. P.S.A.

Sounds like a good thing to know.

A 36 year old female had an accident several weeks ago and totaled
her car.

A resident of Kilgore, Texas, she was traveling between
Gladewater & Kilgore. It was raining, though not excessive, when her car
suddenly began to hydroplane and literally flew through the air. She was not
seriously injured but very stunned at the sudden occurence.

When she explained to the highway patrolman what had happened he told
her something that every driver should know. NEVER DRIVE IN THE RAIN
WITH YOUR CRUISE CONTROL ON. She had thought she was being cautious
by setting the cruise control and maintaining a safe consistent speed in
the rain.

But the highway patrolman told her that if the cruise control is on
and your car begins to hydroplane - when your tires lose contact with the
pavement your car will accelerate to a higher rate of speed and you take off like an airplane. She told the patrolman that was exactly what had occurred.

We all know you have little or no control over a car when
it begins to hydroplane. You are at the mercy of the Good Lord. The
highway patrol estimated her car was actually traveling through the
air at 10 to 15 miles per hour faster than the speed set on the cruise
control.

The patrolman said this warning should be listed, on the driver's
seat sun-visor. NEVER USE THE CRUISE CONTROL WHEN THE PAVEMENT IS WET OR ICY, along with the airbag warning.

We tell our teenagers to set the cruise control and drive a safe speed - but we don't tell them to use the cruise control only when the pavement is dry.

The only person the accident victim found, who knew this (besides the
patrolman), was a man who had a similar accident, totaled his car and
sustained severe injuries.

US Warships Attacked

I saw this article on the events in Jordan and one thing immediatly struck me.

It was this one simple line: "Both vessels left after the attack as a precaution, he said."

Just WHAT message does this send to our enemy? They don't even have to damage equipment or kill any soldiers for our army to turn tail and run, thats what. I'm sure that that is not the feeling the personnel aboard those vessels
would have preferred to bestow, but that is the propaganda that will soon be forthcoming over the Arab networks.

Remember that it is internationally recognized that an attack on any of our military assests constitutes an act of war, yes, I recognize that Jordan was not responsible for that act, and should not be held accountable as the attacker, BUT, I truly the proper response SHOULD have been an assault on those responsible. These were WAR ships with the capability of mounting a pinpoint response, not some hapless cruise ship with helpless civilians on board.
Five minutes after the rocket's exhaust was observed, there should have been a flight of helo's taking out the attackers position, and maybe a small contingent of highly armed ground troops mopping up after the helos.

Provacative? you BET! Intrusive on Jordanian sovereignty? Undoubtably!
Should we care? Not one iota!

A country is responsible for the safety of foreign vessals in their ports, whether they be military or civilian, if the host country can't do the job, then it behooves a military vessal to protect itself in the best manner possible. You may say that they did so by leaving the area, but you have to remember that actions have consequences on future events, by this action, we've declared it to be open season on all our vessels in any foreign port.

There would have been diplomatic consequences of military action taking place in a non-combatant nation, but those consequences would be less than what we're faced with now. Since the vessels were there to take part in a joint US/Jordanian military exercise, it could have been excused as part of the training in joint operations.

One can only hope is that Jordanian forces capture the terrorists and allow their extradition to the U.S. or Gitmo. By the information in the article, there seems to be quite a bit of intell on these Islamofacists, one wonders how they can know so much and yet not apprehend them....

JESSE JACKSON'S NEW STAFF MEMBER

I KNOW that this is old news and that I WAY behind the curve on it, but I just got an e-mail from a friend reminding me of it, and since it didn't make a even minor ripple in the news curve when it happened, I thought it just might be good to remind everyone of it.....

It doesn't get any better than this:

Jessie Jackson added former Chicago Democrat congressman Mel Reynolds
to Rainbow/PUSH Coalition's payroll.

Reynolds was among the 176 criminals excused in President Clinton's last-minute forgiveness spree. Reynolds received a commutation of his
six-and-a-half-year federal sentence for 15 convictions of wire fraud,
bankfraud and lies to the Federal Election Commission. He is more notorious,
however, for concurrently serving five years for sleeping with an underage
campaign volunteer.

This is a first in American politics: An ex-congressman who had sex with a
subordinate...won clemency from a president who had sex with a
subordinate...then was hired by a clergyman who had sex with a
subordinate.

His new job? Youth counselor.

IS THIS A GREAT COUNTRY OR WHAT?

Some thoughts on our whole society that occurred to me after reading this:

1. Just WHICH party do all the participants belong to? Just saying, is all, no blanket indictments of the whole party.....

2. Why did this pass under the radar of just about everyone but a few pundits; and not very vehemently even with them?

3. Considering the types of sexual PC/education being promulgated in our public schools under the ageis of the NEA, with input from such august groups such as NAMBLA and GLSEN, and considering that the NEA is one of the pet programs of a certain party....and whose national leadership, in the main, belong to that same party....

The rank and file of that party always gave President Clinton a pass during his impeachment proceedings; saying it was "private conduct" that was a matter between the parties involved (Bill, Hillery, and Monica), even though there was ample evidence that this type of behaviour was a long standing feature of President Clinton's behaviour patterns even when he was Governor of Arkansas. They didn't even seem to care too much that he committed blatent perjury in court proceedings connected to the matter. (but at least the judiciary system itself thought it serious enough to disbar him)

Put all these things together, and you start to see a pattern emerge. Seems thats one reason that attacks against so called "religious fundementalists", indeed, religion in general, all seem to arise from that same party. After all, religion is about morality, and striking it from the public domain leads to a freedom to impose a non-judgemental public morality wherein almost anything can be excused, even if not condoned.

I make no indictments of that party, but I would ask all the ordinary citizens out there, just what do you think of a group that welcomes under it's umbrella those that:
1. would expose our children to the agendas of NAMBLA and GLSEN
2. promulgate the type of PC attitude that everything that the was the accepted American attitude MUST be subjegated to the worship of every other culture imaginable in the name of "diversity".
3. attacking the public display of religious principles that our country was founded upon.
(yes, as much as the revisionists might try to deny it, that phrase "That all men are endowed by THEIR CREATOR with certain unalienable rights" DID come from deeply held religious beliefs of the Founders)
4. attack the basic freedoms of self-protection embedded in the 2nd Amendment. (just look where the strictest gun regulation laws are, and you'll see that the local and state offices are dominated by this party) Remember that an unarmed populace is a more easily controlled populace.
5. resists every tax reduction for the general population that has ever come along. (ENACT the Fair Tax NOW!) Make the populace dependant on the state largesse for the amount of earnings they keep, and you control that populace.
6. proposed/s most of the "social welfare" type programs, where the State substitutes itself for private responsibility. (again, if your beholding to the State's largess, your controlled by the state)

Put all those facts into a shaker and mix well and then ask yourself if that is truly the cocktail that you wish to drink.

The other party isn't blameless either, at the very least, they refused to block the nameless party in most of these matters, and heartily joined in with them on others.

Now for my "solution", poor as it is. (unlike the party in question, I try not to point out problems without at least trying to propose even a weak solution to them)

Disavow ties to any one party, get informed, and get involved, don't vote for the party, vote for the individual that most represents your views, and hold them accountable if they don't hold to their proclaimed course.

Become informed/involved in your childs school and hold school officials to account for what they are exposing our children to. DON'T let our schools be merely State Indoctrination Centers, but return them to places of true education, where critical thinking and logic are keystones.

As much as possible, refuse to participate in state largess, depend on yourself for your own needs. (again, the Fair Tax would be a large step in this direction)

It will take time to change the current politcal/social climate, and progress will be measured in tiny increments, but always remember that we arrived in our present climate in tiny increments, lets keep what is good and discard that which can be shown to be counterproductive/harmful in the long term.

Most importantly, to use a Biblical phrase "hate the sin, but love the sinner"; use logic to combat your idiological opposits, not hyperboly that only serves to strengthen their resolve against you. Remember always that for the most part, they are trying to do what is right by their own lights, reasoned debate can lead to a compremise that can be lived with by both sides. With the hard core radical elements of both sides, just try to show the vast majority the ultimate consequences of those idiologies, and they will fade into the obscurity they deserve.

A friend accused me yesterday of "wearing rose colored glasses" when I was trying to bounce some of these same ideas off him...and perhaps he's correct, but I still have hope that if there are more idealists and dreamers like he accused me of being and fewer "we have no power to change anything" cynics like him, there still may be time to make our country achieve the noble goals set to us by our Founders. It will NEVER be perfect, but it CAN be better than it is now.

A little Random Humor...

A lady picked up several items at a discount store. When she finally
got up to the checker, she learned that one of her items had no price
tag.

Imagine her embarrassment when the checker got on the intercom and
boomed out for all the store to hear, "PRICE CHECK ON LANE THIRTEEN,
TAMPAX SUPER SIZE." That was bad enough, but somebody at the rear of
the store apparently misunderstood the word "Tampax" for "THUMBTACKS."

In a business-like tone, a voice boomed back over the intercom. "DO YOU
WANT THE KIND YOU PUSH IN WITH YOUR THUMB OR THE KIND YOU
POUND IN WITH A HAMMER?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The train was quite crowded, so the U.S. Marine walked the entire
length looking for a seat, but the only seat left was taken by a well
dressed, middle aged French woman's poodle. The war weary Marine
asked, " Ma'am may I have that seat? "

The French woman just sniffed and said to no one in particular,
"Americans are so rude. My little Fifi is using that seat. "

The marine walked the entire train again, but the only seat left was
under that dog. " Please, ma'am may I sit down? I am very tired."

She snorted, " Not only are you Americans rude, you are also
arrogant. "

This time the Marine didn't say a word, he just picked up the little
dog, tossed it out the train window, and sat down.

The woman shrieked, " Someone must defend my honor. Put this
American in his place. "

An English gentleman sitting nearby spoke up, "Sir, you Americans
often seem to have a penchant for doing the wrong thing. You hold the fork
in the wrong hand, you drive your autos on the wrong side of the road,
and now, sir, you have thrown the wrong bitch out the window."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We all know how tenacious Pitbulls are when they are on the attack.
They don't know how or when to give up.

I think this one should have given up earlier! I think there must
be a bald porcupine somewhere!

So keep in mind sometimes it is better to give up earlier. Don't
lose your head!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Two men dressed in pilot's uniforms walk up the aisle of the airplane.
Both are wearing dark glasses, one is using a guide dog, and the other is
tapping his way along the aisle with a cane.

Nervous laughter spreads through the cabin, but the men enter the
cockpit, the door closes, and the engines start up. The passengers
begin glancing nervously around, searching for some sign that this is
just a little practical joke. None is forthcoming.

The plane moves faster and faster down the runway, and the people
sitting in the window seats realize they're headed straight for the
water at the edge of the airport territory. As it begins to look as
though the plane will plough into the water, panicked screams fill the cabin.

At that moment, the plane lifts smoothly into the air. The passengers
relax and laugh a little sheepishly, and soon all retreat into their
magazines, secure in the knowledge that the plane is in good hands

In the cockpit, one of the blind pilots turns to the other and says,
"You know, Bob, one of these days, they're gonna scream too late and we're
all gonna die."

Prime Your Arms, the Time is Soon

NOW I've heard everything! The U.S. government, through the auspices of our vaunted "Justice" system has seen fit to take property from US citizens and give it to a pair of illegal aliens...

The owner of the ranch in question did committ an arguably illegal act, but given the situation at the border, I believe that he may have been justified in his actions, the subsequent forfiture of his land to the (illegal) complainants is just about five steps too far though IMHO.

Not only is there now a yet another precedent against defending your curtelege, but now it's strengthened to the point of forfiture of said curtalege?!?! RCOB moment...

The Queering of our Schools

Go read this if you have a strong stomach...disregard that it is from a Fundementalist, Pro-Christian site, the FACTS exposed therin shows what the true results of the ACLU agenda are.

I am NOT a Fundementalist Christian, indeed, I consider myself an Agnostic with no formal religious ties, but I will take note of valid information from anyplace I find it, and the slime exposed in this article should be of concern to any citizen concerned about the direction our Republic is heading in.

Here's a taste to whet your anger:

Following the task force’s lead, the NEA will now struggle to expunge “heterosexism” from the consciousness of children in the classroom. The union has encouraged schools to integrate LGBT themes into curricula, instructional material, and programs; to emphasize the legitimacy of different “family structures,” including domestic partner arrangements; and to offer counseling services for students struggling with their “sexual/gender orientation.” Small wonder that GLSEN greeted the NEA task force’s report, and its endorsement by the union, with hosannas. “These powerful new recommendations signal that help is on the way for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students and staff who experience day-to-day abuse in America’s schools,” enthused GLSEN head Jennings.

Expunge Heterosexism?!?! In case you don't realize it, that encompasses about 90% of US folks.

And the ACLU is involved too:
"School districts that refuse to go along with the homosexual agenda now must contend with the American Civil Liberties Union, too. The ACLU’s Lesbian and Gay Rights Project has launched a national effort, called “Every Student, Every School,” that plans to sue on First Amendment grounds any school that refuses gay/straight student clubs on its premises. Already, schools in Kentucky and Texas face legal action."

WAKE UP people, learn what they are indoctrinating our children into. TAKE BACK our public schools from the NEA, ACLU, and interest groups such as NAMBLA and GLSEN.

The DE-pussification of the American Male

Kim du Toit has written a rant as only he can. Do yourself a favor and read it.
No, read it savor it, and LIVE it. Take back what is your birthright and act like a MAN, not the weepy,wimpy, Metrosexual espoused as the "ideal male" by all too many in our society today.

After having read the article linked, I found myself, even more than usual, wishing that I could join Kim at the range for a little RCOB moment relief.
I'd truly like to study range stress relief techniques at the foot of a true master.

Thanks to Liz at Explicitly Ambigious, I have added a new (to me) Milblogger under the Big Macho Types section. Welcome Odysseus !

He is currently serving as an officer in Iraq, and his insights are refreshing to read after all the tripe that the LSM keeps putting out.
