  • John Hawkins: You might be a Liberal if…

    John Hawkins at Right Wing News and Townhall.com with part 2 of his Jeff Foxworthy impression; you might be a Liberal if…;

    * You blame the oil companies for high gas prices, but believe in doing everything humanly possible to keep them from drilling for more oil.

    * You’d have no problem with a Democratic President talking with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad or Kim Jung-Il without conditions, but would be very upset if he started seriously negotiating with Republicans over national security or energy issues.

    * You don’t see a conflict between “supporting the troops” and trying to insure that they lose the war that they’re fighting.

    * You think the solution to an underperforming economy is higher taxes, more regulations, and publicly attacking businesses, but don’t understand how that relates to the phrase, “The beatings will continue until morale improves.”

    Feel free to add your own. Oh, and there’s more at the Townhall link.

  • President Baldilocks

    Some of you might remember I wrote about Baldilocks and her efforts to form a non-profit organization to complete what Obama promised and never fulfilled towards the school in his ancestral home in Kenya. My daily read at doubleplusundead tells me she’s well on her way;

     Juliette has the site for the non-profit up and running, Obamaschool.org. I intend to promote this cause as best as I can.  The school is in poor shape, with no running water and poor electricity, they want to put in a basic science lab, a well, latrines, a lunch room, fencing for security, and additional classrooms.  We can help them out, Obama might not keep his promise, but we should try and help them where he failed to.

    So Baldilocks is President of this new organization Save Senator Obama Kogelo School, Inc. If you have a coupla bucks laying around, send it Baldilock’s way – every little bit helps.

  • August 16th is National Airborne Day

    image808.gif

    It’s fitting that I was with some young paratroopers at midnight last night with Uncle Jimbo, both of us old paratroopers. One of my co-bloggers here, COB6, is also a member of that elite club which requires that you obey the law of gravity. But here’s the history of why today is considered “our” day;

  • Friday night drunkblogging Silver Spring

    Late yesterday afternoon I got an email from Blackfive‘s Uncle Jimbo inviting me to Walter Reed for the weekly Friday night FReep and, of course, I accepted. As soon as I got there, Jimbo started getting mischievous and went down to the Code Pink/union thug area and tried to join them with the above pictured sign, explaining that he only wants peace…just like them. But Bruce Wolfe, the union thug who has responsibility for manning the space (since it’s hardly on Code Pink’s radar these days) was having none of it.

  • Left redefines adversity

    Yesterday, I read about Uncle Jimbo at Blackfive being refused service at the Hawk and Dove pub on Capitol Hill because he was wearing one of his famous Dou-Che` T-shirts

    Uncle Jimbo is a pretty big dude (he has a reputation for being somewhat unstable while imbibing in adult beverages) and I’m surprised someone named Edgar would take a chance at pissing off someone of his impressive stature and unbalanced nature.

    Barely related to Uncle Jimbo story, at Babalu Blog, Ziva points us to a story about the wonderful world of ANSWER LA where they celebrated the 55th Anniversary of Castro’s opening salvo against the Batista Administration in Cuba. I hinted at this twisted bit of propagandizing the other day when I asked where the anti-war clowns were going to protest the Russian invasion of Georgia.

    But the communists in LA are still enraptured with the Castro revolution. It seems that 300 Communists turned out for the event…and the article calls that a “huge turnout”. In Los Angeles, the largest city in the nation, if not the world, 300 is not huge, guys. There are 300 people lined up behind every urinal in LA at any given moment. Nonetheless;

    The huge turnout to celebrate Cuba’s revolution showed that the struggle for a better world is very much alive in the hearts and minds of people in Los Angeles and far beyond. We will continue undeterred to celebrate Cuba and to defend its revolutionary gains.

    Undeterred, because of unanimous and unrecorded bomb threats and threats of violence that always seem to happen when the Left has an event…but strangely enough nothing ever happens. Just like the death threats we hear about from the right-wing nuts…no one ever gets killed, but still the Left likes to pump up their self-importance with these imagined dangers.

    The success of the evening in the face of adversity was a clear victory for the pro-Cuba organizers and attendees.

    So brave these revolutionaries…just like Che and Fidel, aren’t they? No, not really. being a Communist in Los Angeles isn’t brave at all. There was no inherent adversity in 300 people going to a Castro love fest in the furthest Left (politically) part of the country. The Left has pushed the envelope so far that being a communist is passe` – even Hugo Chavez is losing his cachet.

    If you want to see brave, watch Uncle Jimbo wear his Che` shirt in DC where the people voted 90% for John Kerry in the last presidential election. Of go to a Freedom Works counterdemonstration against MoveOn in DC. That’s bravery. Not being just another communist in a city full of communists.

  • A new resource for IVAW watchers

    I know most of you readers discovered this blog during the IVAW’s Winter Soldier theater and one of the reasons that you continue to come back here is because of our IVAW coverage. Well, until recently we used a NetVibes page that the IVAW members themselves built to keep track of what was being said about them around the internet (which is how most of them found their way here). They shut it down or moved it recently because most of the blog listings were coming from this blog and The Sniper.

    Last night, TSO asked me if I could come with something similar and I fiddled with the NetVibes widgets for a few hours last night and finally came up with a fairly complete page of links to all things IVAW and VFP. I named it IVAW Watch and put it in our blogroll under Special Attention so it’s always there for those interested in what’s being said about the IVAW. I might add Code Pink to it next month or so.

    You’re all welcome to use it and if you see something interesting that one of us didn’t catch, please bring it to our attention. We depend on your participation…otherwise we’d just be emailing each other. Thanks for your continued interest and I hope this helps.

  • Iowahawk runs afoul of Accountable America

    I wrote yesterday about Accountable America, the MoveOn offshoot that is blackmailing Republican donors. Well, it seems they’ve caught up with Iowahawk. (h/t Ace of Spades)

  • West Chester, PA getting more bitter

    Some of you may remember that TSO and I ventured into the hinterlands to West Chester, PA back on Flag Day to spend the day with the Sheepdogs and Skye.

    I like this picture of Skye, so this gives me chance to post it again;

    Since they can’t stop the pro-victory movement from showing up against their “peace vigil” every Saturday, Skye writes in the Free Republic that the aged hippies are trying to use legal (or extra-legal means) to silence them. Below is the letter that  Rich Davis, the founder of the movement in West Chester, received (you can click the letter to make it larger, if you need to);
