  • Obama the war monger

    Oh, how the Left fell hard for Obama – he repeated all of the anti-war slogans they wanted to hear and the protest groups generally sat quietly through the election process last year with their hands folded on their laps. But, as reality has slapped the Obama Administration, it also slaps the anti-war movement. Last year, Code Pink was relegated to DuPont Circle for their annual Mothers Day protest, nine blocks from the White House, when in previous years they’d had the free run of Lafayette Park across the street. This year they’re back in Lafayette Park promising to not raise children that are raised to not kill other mothers’ children;

    Yeah, that should be an easy promise to keep since no one wants to procreate with the hags who are all either lesbians or post-menopausal. Now if they could get the Muslim population to promise the same….

    After Downing Street, the far Left anti-Bush anti-war group founded by members of the Revolutionary Communist Party quotes the Al Jazeera article I wrote about the other day as proof that our troops are engaged in a war against Islam.

    Torture, religion, democracy, God. They’re all part of the mixed-up, horrific business that George Bush unleashed in the Middle East and Central Asia, and that Barack Obama is struggling to control and rationalize. As the words above demonstrate, the 12th century is striving mightily to join hands with the 20th in the U.S. military: Unbridled religious arrogance is forging a link with high-tech weaponry and an unlimited defense budget.

    The possibility that we are — not officially, of course, but in the minds of many American soldiers and officers — waging a religious war that parallels the secular one, an Ann Coulter war, if you will (“We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity,” Coulter wrote on Sept. 12, 2001), is both deeply disturbing and utterly appropriate. The arrogance required for both efforts is so similar, I can understand if the line blurs for many of the participants.

    The Zionist Anti-Communist notices that the anti-war barking heads are coming together against Obama;

    It seems that Infowars.com is taking a page from the hard Leftist groups such as PuppetGov.com, literally taking a page from CodePink that Obama’s the obvious warmonger and war criminal if he doesn’t not only end the war in Iraq, but also the war in Afghanistan. Apparently, it seems 9/11 “Truthers” could agree with Code Pink that the USA should have no right to be in Afghanistan to go after a certain Osama bin Laden which the Taliban failed to hand over.

    Nice Deb notices the same trend and reminds us of the Obama quote about our troops “air raiding villages” and yet he continues air raiding villages himself, according to After Downing Street;

    And indeed, U.S. airstrikes this week in a densely populated area in western Afghanistan’s Farah Province, during a battle between Afghan soldiers and the Taliban, may have killed as many as 100 civilians, according to the New York Times. The Red Cross, the United Nations and the Afghan government are all expressing shock at the death toll, but our government will only acknowledge that it is “investigating the reports of civilian deaths,” which is the standard, meaningless comment that reporters work into such stories, seemingly with no obligation to follow up. This lets us forget about it and move on.

    It must be nice to just pontificate about peace without offering real, substantial solutions – solutions other than putting daisies in rifle barrels.

  • Leftist Hyperbole

    Sometimes, I just can’t get past some of the crap I have to read. Today is one of those days. Last night, I ran across a missive in the Albany Times Union written by some guy named Matt Funiciello who has a pretty high opinion of himself for some indiscernible reason. Which is fine, in itself, but he’s unable to recognize the truth when it’s in front of his face because his big, fat ego gets in the way. But, he speaks from experience because, in the typical Leftist mold;

    …I come from a family of vets and I am very pro-soldier….

    Which means his neighbor’s nephew met a veteran once. That’s the Leftist response to every accusation that they don’tknow what they’re talking about because they don’t have the gumption to raise their hand and be part of something bigger than them. Oh, did I mention he’s also a truther?

    He’s writing about the “bravery” of “a warrior” – that brave warrior being IVAW’s Matthis Chiroux. Funiciello, reading from Matthis Chiroux’s press release, claims that Chiroux was facing a possible death penalty conviction or jail time but that the Army backed off because Chiroux faced off with them, the “military-industrial complex” – whatever that means.

    The truth is; Chiroux faced a general discharge under honorable conditions – the worst discharge that board could recommend. I knew that the day before the board when I talked to Army Public Affairs Officer LTC Maria Quon who works in St Louis. And that’s exactly what he got – the harshest penalty that particular board could issue. In fact, that’s the same discharge Chiroux would have received if he’d just sat in his plush, IVAW-subsidized apartment in New York City and not set foot in the hearing.

    But somehow, Chiroux, and therefore, Funiciello, who accepts press releases from Matthis Chiroux as gospel, claims it’s some sort of victory. In order to arrive at that conclusion, Chiroux and Funiciello ignore all of the facts, Funiciello also ignores all of the testimony I’ve recorded here from eye witnesses to the Chiroux legacy as hearsay. I guess that means everything he reads in his daily paper is hearsay, too. Or maybe it means that Funiciello is just tone deaf to everything that rattles his facade that he’s tenuously propped up to appear as some sort of journalist. In truth, Funiciello is just another of Chiroux’s tools.

    And the print media can’t understand why no one reads them anymore.

    In another glaring example of Leftist hyperbole, the blog, “History In The Making” writes a post “Big Protest Shuts Down Army Experience“. Notice the URL is hippiecommiemarine.blogspot.

    The “big protest” shut down the Army Experience in Franklin Mills Mall for nine minutes, all nine minutes are the YouTube video at my report on the event. So it wasn’t shut down for a month, a day, or even an hour. And since the reports of participation on the Left claim between 120 and 300 participants, it wasn’t even a “big” protest. Especially when you consider that participants included this clown who should be fired;

    A middle school teacher brought 4 of his students to the protest.

    I hope the parents of those middleschool students’ parents punch that stickboy in his nads.

    This isn’t hyperbole, but there’s this announcement;

    Please join your fellow Constitution Supporters on May 15th, 2009, for an up-close-and-personal evening with a charismatic, motivated candidate for Congress in New Mexico, Adam Kokesh, a former Marine whose participation with Iraq Veterans Against the War and at the RNC has landed him on numerous “lists.”

    Date: Friday, May 15, 2009
    Time: 7:00pm – 9:00pm
    Location: Home of Nick and Ericka D’Arcy
    Street: 416 Allison Drive
    City/Town: Dallas, TX

    You may donate at the event, but donations in advance are appreciated. (Simply enter 40.00 into the amount field.)

    Paid for by Texans Organized to Protect the Integrity of the Constitution Political Committee (TOPIC PAC).

    Anyone is Dallas want to pay $40 for some Saltines, orange Kool Aid and conversation with “charismatic” Adam Kokesh? Sheesh, for 2 bucks I’ll let you look at all of my videos of him, but you have to bring your own drinks.

  • More on the Kokesh for Congress run

    The other day I offered interviews to the Santa Fe media for background on their newest aspiring congressman, Adam Kokesh. They didn’t take me up on it, but they wasted no time interviewing Kokesh;

    Adam Kokesh of Santa Fe, a registered Republican who backed Libertarian candidate Ron Paul in last year’s GOP presidential primaries, said Friday that he’s not sure what party banner he might run under — Republican, Democrat, third party or independent.

    “I represent a wide range of people from parties who are clearly disappointed with the current Democratic Party line,” Kokesh said in an interview.

    While he supported Paul, Kokesh, who served in Iraq, also praised U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich, a liberal Ohio Democrat who, like Paul, was a critic of U.S. military actions during last year’s presidential campaign.

    A wide range of people, indeed. From Ron Paul to Dennis Kucinich – actually probably the same people. The people who don’t have a clue. I’m not familiar at all with the demographics of New Mexico, but I’m sure there’s a large number of sane people. But Kokesh knows how to work the media;

    Asked for comment about the potential challenge and Kokesh’s statement that Luján just wants to be “part of the club,” Mark Nicastre, a Luján spokesman said in a prepared statement, “Rep. Luján is focused on his work in Congress and throughout New Mexico’s 3rd district. Since January, Rep. Luján has worked with his congressional colleagues to pass legislation that cuts taxes for 95 percent of American workers and puts us on a path to economic recovery, provides health care for millions of children, protects valuable and treasured lands in New Mexico, and moves us toward a clean-energy economy.”

    His opponent, Lujan, appears to be a moron – why defend the charge that he’s a “part of the club” by regurgitating the Obama State of the Union Address? But, Adam has a few things to overcome, too.

    Kokesh said he doesn’t have a full-time job. Though he said he does graphic design “on the side,” he described himself as a full-time activist.

    That’s not a real relatable resume` among working Americans. But, then there’s always Daddy;

    Kokesh is the son of venture capitalist Charles Kokesh, a co-owner of the Santa Fe Horse Park southwest of the city, which earlier this year defaulted on its $2.25 million mortgage.

    Ooops. Maybe Dad can get a bailout from the feds before Adam pisses off his Congressman.

  • The anti-recruiter war

    Last year, the anti-war movement discovered that they can’t stop the war through Congress – mainly because Congress doesn’t want solutions to problems, they only want issues. So the anti-war crowd decided they would attack the troops who are detailed as recruiters. At about the same time, the Army decided to build a $12 million pilot facility called the Army Experience Center at Franklin Mills Mall near Philadelphia which has a variety of video games designed to give potential recruits a taste of the Army. I can’t wait to visit and try the shoe-shining and the latrine-scrubbing video games.

    Since it opened last year, the AEC has stuck in the anti-war crowd’s craw. They’ve protested it at least once before that I know on February 16th – it kind of fizzled out, of course. So this past Saturday, they decided to make a concerted effort towards shutting the AEC down.

    Our own Raoul was on the scene, of course, and he phoned in a report last night. He met them in the church parking lot where they assembled at St. Luke’s United Church of Christ. In short order, Raoul was able to get the church’s secretary to call him a mother f@#%er twice.

    All of the Leftist reports say they had over 300 people to protest, Raoul tells us it wasn’t even 200 – which is surprising since the Left also says that over 30 groups participated. Even if it was 300, with 30 groups, that’s piss-poor attendance.

    But the whole thing is comical. Here’s 200-300 people protesting video games. They had slogans like “If you’re not old enough to drink, you’re not old enough to kill”. So I guess, like me, they think the drinking age should be lowered, too.

    IVAW Winter Soldier, Jesse Hamilton was there. His deep intellectual contribution to the discussion was; “You can’t simulate the heat. You can’t you know the cries of people who are getting killed. You can’t simulate the noise when things are exploding around you.” Well, ya know what Jesse, they get an idea of what it’s like during training, don’t they? It’s not like they load the kids on buses outside the AEC and take them straight to Iraq, do they?

    Here’s a local TV report;

    One blogger from the Left, who certainly thought highly of himself and his actions that Saturday afternoon at the mall wrote;

    The complaint was read out loud, which had a profound effect on everyone who was there shopping, and visiting the various eateries.

    People stopped to listen, and really couldn’t believe what was happening. I myself, was part of a group of protesters who donned death masks and the names of fallen soldiers and stood directly in front of the AEC, which was at that point surrounded by police.

    But that didn’t stop us from demanding that it be closed and they should cease and desist corrupting our youth. Those of us in death masks stood silently by and watched the rest of the group shouting at the recruiters. “Stop stealing our kids” “No wars for empire”, “SHAME ON YOU!” to the endless pounding of drums.

    It seemed to me that the recruiters were becoming a bit unnerved….

    Yeah, soldiers who had faced an armed enemy on foreign soil were unnerved by a bunch of smelly geezers. I’m sure. And as far as a “profound effect” it had on shoppers, I’m pretty sure they were real impressed by loud-mouthedclowns interrupting their day of shopping to scream intellectually vacant chants like kindergartners.

    Someone should probably point out the Army isn’t stealing anyone’s kids. Everyone who joins is an adult in their own right, making their own decisions and the fact that these pathetic cowards think that kids are stupid enough to think war is a video and need rescuing says more about the fantasy land these clowns occupy than it does about America’s youth.

    ShotgunDroid sent us this video from GamePolitics;

    Seven people were arrested, one was Elaine Brower, who I mentioned in the earlier post, the others bravely wore hoods and masks. The whole confrontation lasted 9 minutes. One of the arrestees wrote;

    After only one warning, the police decided to aggressively arrest seven of the protesters who were wearing death masks, peacefully standing in front of the AEC and not blocking the entrance. Taken to a distant precinct, the civil affairs Captain vowed vengeance by trying to charge the seven with a “misdemeanor in the third degree.” After 6 hours in the most deplorable conditions, they were released to return to court in June.

    Yeah, in the video, you can see how aggressive the police were. I saw where they even refused to arrest one little old bag who was begging for it. And the captain “vowed vengeance”, huh? Or, maybe he vowed to enforce the peace.

    Raoul reported that only people who were angry were the folks trying to get in the AEC. Fox reported that the anti-war protesters have to keep their lawyers employed;

    Anti-war protesters are suing. They claim the Army Experience Center is endangering the welfare of children.

    What children, you retards?

    Most of the pictures I see say “Courtesy of Bill Perry” so I guess I fixed his camera well enough. Hey, Bill, Raoul says he saw you standing safely off to the side.

    Raoul also reports that our buddy Pinhead was there and was showing anyone who would pay attention his VFP card to prove that he really is a veteran while Raoul pestered him for the month’s pay Pinhead owes Raoul on their wager. Yeah, we never said you aren’t a veteran, Dennen, we were wondering about the World War Two medals you wore at protests.

    I’m sure Raoul will have more to add in the comments.

    Raoul adds:

    It was a failure for them.

    1. They mobilized from NYC to DC, promised 700 people, delivered 200. That’s 29%.

    2. They got just one news story. The local Fox affiliate did a 333 word article for the website, no film. Another TV station showed, no story on the news that night.

    3. They got better than they gave. Three counter-demonstatrers owned their rally at St Luke’s. Our PA was louder than their’s and they had to listen to our “Teach In”.

    4. St Luke’s Church Secretary called me a “Mother F**ker” three times.

    5. They pissed off a lot of locals stuck in traffic as the geezers walked a mile in 30 minutes.

    6. You couldn’t tell there was a demo just 40 yards down the mall.

    7. People coming and going at the mall mainly ignored them

    8. They pissed off the teens who let the geezers know it.

    9. They were in the mall for less than an hour.

    10. The AEC opened 10 minutes after they left.

  • Elaine Brower; a new standard for crackpots

    I’m working on a story about the protest that happened in Philadelphia the other day, and waiting on a report from our eye witness snoop who was there. While doing some research on it and the background of the 30 organizations who took up the protest, I bumped into Elaine Brower. I’ve seen her name before, but we’ve always been more interested in IVAW. Anyhow, meet Elaine Brower.

    Elaine Brower

    She braggs about the fact that she’s a member of World Can’t Wait. Now, WCW was founded in 2005 to drive George Bush from office. It was founded by Charles Clark Kissinger – you can google Kissinger and nearly every link refers to his affiliation with the Revolutionary Communist Party. That’s the kind of people who wanted George Bush out of office and weren’t happy with the democratic process.

    Brower is also a member of Military Families Speak Out – an affiliate of United for Peace and Justice which was founded by Leslie Cagan, a big supporter of Castro. So why does Brower belong to MFSO? Because she has a son, USMC Sergeant James Brower, who has been deployed three times to the GWOT.

    In 2005, she did an interview with Newsday about her son’s deployments;

    “Tell me, please,” his mother said, sitting across the street from her office in lower Manhattan. “What can I do to make sure he comes back alive?”

    She’s already done the practical things.

    She’s tried to talk him out of going. She bought him $2,000 worth of body armor and high-tech goggles, life-or-death gear the Marine Corps still does not provide.

    When James transferred to another Marine unit, making his war-zone call-up all but certain – “I screamed and I cried for 24 hours and beat up on him the way only a mother can.”

    None of it worked, of course. He’s shipping out five weeks from now for the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center at Twentynine Palms, Calif. From there, it’s straight to Iraq.

    His mother still remembers the 3 a.m. calls from Afghanistan. “He’d say, ‘Yeah, Mom, I was carrying ammo. I stepped into a hole and broke my ankle. But I kept running. They needed the ammo.’ Then, I’d get up in the morning and go to work, where people were talking about things like what was on TV last night.”

    Her son, she said, shares her skepticism about the war in Iraq. Lots of his fellow Marines do. Support for some broader policy is not what motivates them.

    “Really, they don’t train these guys to protect their country,” Elaine Brower said. “They train them to protect each other. I asked James, ‘Why are you going back?’ He said, ‘My buddies are over there, and I need to protect them.’”

    So, she doesn’t understand that thing that only soldiers (and Marines) understand. My mother was the same way for twenty years – but my mother wasn’t bat shit crazy. You can almost smell the crazy in Brower’s voice when she tells the Newsday reporter how great it would be to lose her son like Cindy Sheehan did so she can be an even greater activist and get her some of that absolute moral authority;

    “God forbid he goes over there and something happens to him,” she was saying yesterday as more grim news arrived from Iraq. “I’ll go off. I will. The way I’ll react, they’ll think Cindy Sheehan is a butterfly.”

    I could hear the drool on her chin.

    She’s upset that her son won’t listen to her insane rantings, so she expects the government to stop all wars because her son won’t stop going to war. Well, even though he’s survived three tours to the war, two tours of Iraq and one to Afghanistan, she’s still being a pain in the ass getting arrested at the Philly protest and still waving her LIVE son’s non-bloody shirt;

    Elaine Brower, 53, who sits on the board of Peace Action of Staten Island, was one of those taken to jail. She has been organizing against the AEC because she is the mother of a Marine who just returned from his third tour of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan.

    I’m sure her son is proud of his Mom who hangs out with communists and airs familial laundry in public.

    Bush is gone, her son is home safe, why’s she still getting arrested?

  • Front Toward Enemy

    To those who don’t know me, I’ve been messing around on political forums for the better part of 10 years now, including 5-or-so years as a moderator/admin on one very popular forum owned by some skinny blonde chick…Ann something or other, but I digress.

    During that time, I made a practice of lurking on opposing forums, mostly for material, but also for the sheer sake of trying to decipher what these people were thinking…and I use that term loosely. One of my favorite, most target rich environments for my recons was The Democratic Underground, profoundly referred to as DU, earning it’s denizens the title of DU’ers. In many cases, what was posted on DU could hardly be held out as fiction, much less categorized as an argument (last time I checked “fuck you” wasn’t exactly considered thoughtful debate), so I would package up these little nuggets and post them on Ann Whatsherface’s forum and we’d all get a pretty good chuckle out of them. Nice. Whatever.

    The bulk of these DU crossposts were harmless, amounting to a significant number of echo chamber rants, lithium fueled diatribes, endless bitching about Bush and Cheney (to which they had all manner of interesting nicknames) and some of the lamest attempts at humor seen this side of a Kathy Griffin “show”. On occasion, however, there were some rare gems, like the one from a particular DU poster named Magic Rat, who according to him, had his “girlfriend” up in his bedroom, her clothes half-off, when he suddenly decides that taking the tube-bus to Tuna Town wasn’t in the cards that evening…his bewilderment on why she suddenly left was comedy gold.

    Then there was the “guy” who got mad because all the chicks in his office would run out for lunch on Friday to his favorite pizza joint and wouldn’t invite him…or the epic “Liberal Historian & Nighttrain” hook-up, where DU’ers actually pledged gas and motel money via PayPal, only to have good ol’ Nighttrain bail when he figured out that his Dodge Omni probably couldn’t handle Jabba The Historian’s considerable girth. These were some of the better threads, chiseled into the internets for all time.

    But with the coronation of the Teleprompter-in-Chief, these outlets have changed a little…or have they? A quick DUmpster dive this morning revealed a significant number of threads dedicated to prosecution of Bush administration officials related to the “torture” memos. There were a few posts about the flu (and the magnificent way St. Barry is handling the crisis), but there was one that stood out:

    I was threatened again yesterday. They did it by threatening my 8 year old son. They’re such cowards that they sent a boy almost twice his age to do it. he’s still a minor, thus pretty much untouchable.They were sending me a message that they may not be able to get to me directly but my son is fair game.
    We’ve turned into a Third World country where the inmates are in charge of the asylum.

    I had to keep him home from school today because he’s suffering from anxiety. He’s borderline autistic and has enough trouble functioning at school as is, but this just pushes him over the edge. I complained before but nothing gets done.

    Ok…at face value, it’s a fairly reasonable response to someone having their kid bullied, but then again, this is DU…the thread continues:

    3. They won’t do anything. I even complained to the FBI a couple of years ago.

    They’re a bunch of Bush Gang connected Dominionist, Joel’s Army types. Their local gur-preacher is a State Senator who likes to push his weight around.

    Hm. Ok, so we’ve gone from our kid being bullied to the FBI and a state senator being involved. Interesting. But there’s more:

    10. It’s Bush Gang revenge. I screwed with one of Poppy’s operations when I worked at CIA. This has been going on for decades.They can’t attack me directly, so they attack my son.

    Yeah…totally worth the wait, wasn’t it? To recap for those in the cheap seats, what we have here is an anonymous poster on a leftwing whack-job forum who is complaining that their kid is being threatened by teenaged FBI agents, and their state senator (who is also a pastor…gotta get that anti-Christian bias in there too you know), due to some clandestine operation they thwarted during Bush 41’s presidency while they were working for the CIA. To their credit, some of the DUmbasses have the audacity to question our intrepid hero’s veracity, which doesn’t go over too well:

    27. It’s not paranoia. I’ve heard your meme many times. I would have taken offense to it at one time, but I’ve heard it so often, that I just write off such statements as ignorance. This has been going on for decades. It began when Poppy was VP and in charge of the Central America Program.

    I was one of the CIA Officers that worked on the mining of the harbors in Nicaragua program. In January of 1982, I notified my superiors that I felt the program was illegal. Apparently, Poppy took great offense to this.

    My quote:
    “You people are out of your fucking minds.” “When Congress finds out about this, they are going to cut our balls off.”

    This is what I said to my Division Chief, in front of his whole Division. (OTS/SAD)

    39. So…for 27 years the CIA (an organization that routinely kills people in manners that seem natural or simply disappears them) has been pissed at you for transgressions against them?

    Sorry…if this is true (and honestly I doubt it), this (Democratic Underground) is NOT the forum. You should (as another poster mentioned) contact Leon Pannetta’s office (he seems an honorable man) and some of your old CIA friends (you should still have at least one friendly contact there) to get everything on the table.

    If this is true, I apologize and wish you the best at getting out from under these assholes.

    If only Jack Bauer were here…he’d know how to handle this…or Chuck Norris, but since he’s a fundie Repuke, maybe Ward Churchill? I hear Bill Maher is pretty tough as long as he can use his mouth:

    17. I’m safest in plain sight. They have too many tentacles to hide from.

    Google ‘hentai’ for more on these wayward tentacles…on second thought, don’t do that.

    And so this is how it goes. These are the folks that can nullify your well informed vote. These are the people who parade around in pink attire demanding peace at all cost. These are the morons who think that the preamble to the Constitution says “generally promote Welfare” instead of “promote the general welfare”. These are the idiots who join the military for “college” and then shit themselves when the Army has the audacity to actually deploy them into harm’s way. They are the ones who would be more than happy to sell out your grandkid’s future as long as they can sit in a women’s studies program for 10 years on your dime…and they all think you’re the one who is the problem. And hey, thanks to Janet Napolitano they have Federal justification for that opinion.

    Which brings us to the point of this rambling mass of whatever…battlefields are no longer limited to far flung shores, or wind swept sand dunes…they’re in your face. They’re in your neighborhoods. They’re in your kid’s school, and more importantly, they’re embedded in the collective psyche of those who command the reins of power. Think of that next time you see our Fearless Leader, his flawlessly vetted speech scrolling on his best pal, the teleprompter and think of this; on a claymore mine, it has printed in large text ‘Front Toward Enemy’. The question is, who has the clacker.

  • The mild discomfort of torture

    Last night, our President let us know that the discomfort of waterboarding is now torture. And how does he know this? Because of his vast experience of being President an entire one hundred days. The Washington Times quotes;

    “I will do whatever is required to keep the American people safe, but I am absolutely convinced that the best way I can do that is to make sure we are not taking shortcuts that undermine who we are,” he said. “There have been no circumstances during the course of this first hundred days in which I have seen information that would make me second-guess the decision I have made.”

    In other words, he’s been president for a hundred days and you haven’t – so who is smarter? Certainly not you. And since you think you’re such a smarty-pants, he knows stuff you don’t;

    He said he has read the memos former Vice President Dick Cheney has asked be declassified and that the Republican says would show the tactics worked to get critical information that prevented attacks. But Mr. Obama said the memos don’t prove the information couldn’t have been gotten by other methods, and said even if America’s job is harder, it’s worth the trade-off.

    There. See? He’s read the Cheney memos and you haven’t. When you’ve read the Cheney memos, you can have an opinion – but until then, shut up. You.

    Let me show you how much torture is involved in waterboarding. The regular readers of this blog know that IVAW’s Matthis Chiroux is a big pussy, right? If waterboarding is torture, do you honestly think that Chiroux would allow World Can’t Wait to waterboard him in front of the UN? See for yourself;

    You’ll notice that Chiroux’s hands aren’t bound, yet when he is waterboarded, his hands stay behind his back, entirely voluntarily. If Chiroux truly thought he was in danger, and if waterboarding was really a fear-inducing practice, his arms would be flailing around involuntarily. besides, if it was as dangerous as the Left seems to think it is, do you honestly believe a sissy like Chiroux would allow himself to be involved in it? I mean seriously.

    Thanks for showing us that waterboarding isn’t torture, Chiroux. I owe you a cookie.

  • SGT Casey J. Porter resigns from IVAW

    Casey J. Porter has been sending video reports from Iraq for the IVAW and has drawn the attention of the left’s bigwigs like Michael Moore and Democracy Now. Today Porter picked up his stuff and left the organization. The big reason he left? The organization’s protection of Matthis Chiroux.

    As some background, the IVAW has split into two sides – 1) the “resisters” who have basically done nothing for the country, and 2) the pro-America, pro-Constitution former service members who actually served in the war.

    The split began when Kelly Dougherty, an actual Iraq War veteran, resigned and she was replaced by Alex Bacon a guy who deserted from the fricken Coast Guard (while they were still part of the Transportation Department – that’s like deserting from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration).

    So under Bacon’s leadership, the resisters, who are mostly real honest-to-goodness communists, have made it known that they don’t much like the folks who actually served in the Iraq War (ya know, like in the name of the organization) because those members still believe in the Constitution and not some radical overthrow of the US system. That became glaringly clear during last week’s comedy show put on by Matthis Chiroux.

    The part of the organization that owes allegiance to the International Socialist Organization rushed to “resister” Chiroux’s defense when actual combat veterans called him to task for his outlandish behavior over the last year. Of course, their VVAW/VFP masters, like Ward Reilly, the Vietnam Veteran Against the War who never went to Vietnam, sided with the resisters. That’s not surprising because Reilly doesn’t see the value in serving the country in time of war – just like Chiroux and Bacon.

    Well, apparently, actual war veteran Porter decided he’d had enough today. Here’s the resignation letter he posted on Facebook;
