  • I was a neglected child

    Old Trooper sent a link to The American Thinker post written by our buddy Scott Swett and Selwyn Duke which included this video;

    I don’t know how I didn’t know this cool set existed, unless it was because my parents made me go play out in the woods with the few Army toys I did have instead of laying around watching television. But, I watched every episode of Combat! and Rat Patrol (now that I’m almost grown up, I own all of CDs of all of the seasons of both of those shows).

    The scary part is that, neither my brothers nor I ever went on a bloody rampage as a result of our boyhood play. To the best of my knowledge, I was the only one from our pack of friends who joined the military, though most of our fathers had come home from the Korean War.

    Scott Swett makes the point that liberals would probably shit themselves if this commercial made it to the Cartoon Network today, or if the really cool set was available today. In fact, I suspect that my daughter would have conniptions if I bought it for my grandson, but she’d probably forget that her brother and I used to play laser tag in the house, shooting each other with realistic guns and now he’s an Air Force surgical technician – not a crazed mass murderer.

  • How the Left makes themselves feel better

    I picked up these links from some Facebook Wall Posts from TSO and Blackfive this morning. But first Matty O’Blackfive posted a link from fucktard Paul Krugman, the most intellectually dishonest economist on the planet who tells us that the last ten years have been “The Years of Shame“;

    What happened after 9/11 — and I think even people on the right know this, whether they admit it or not — was deeply shameful. Te [sic] atrocity should have been a unifying event, but instead it became a wedge issue. Fake heroes like Bernie Kerik, Rudy Giuliani, and, yes, George W. Bush raced to cash in on the horror. And then the attack was used to justify an unrelated war the neocons wanted to fight, for all the wrong reasons.

    A lot of other people behaved badly. How many of our professional pundits — people who should have understood very well what was happening — took the easy way out, turning a blind eye to the corruption and lending their support to the hijacking of the atrocity?

    The atrocity WAS a unifying event, until the Left realized that they were losing support when people began speculating how a Democrat president (namely Al Gore) would have reacted to the terrorist attack, which had been in the planning stages during the Clinton Administration. The Democrats tried everything…they even unanimously passed the PATRIOT Act in the Senate…to prove that they were good custodians of our National Security. But given their history, the American people weren’t buying it. So fucktards like the aforementioned fucktard, Paul Krugman, took up the mantle of the intellectually dishonest and did stupid shit like magnifying so-called atrocities, telling the American people that we were better than Guantanamo and taking the fight to the enemy.

    Saddam Hussein issued copies of “Black hawk Down” to his commanders as an instructional tool to show them how to resist an American attack. The left called our wars “occupations” and even they knew it was an innaccurate portrayal of our operations, since we had never really occupied a foreign country. Besides China in the 19th century.

    The link from TSO is to Truthdig’s Chris Hedges, who writes in “A Decade After 9/11: We Are What We Loathe“;

    We have still not woken up to whom we have become, to the fatal erosion of domestic and international law and the senseless waste of lives, resources and trillions of dollars to wage wars that ultimately we can never win. We do not see that our own faces have become as contorted as the faces of the demented hijackers who seized the three commercial jetliners a decade ago. We do not grasp that Osama bin Laden’s twisted vision of a world of indiscriminate violence and terror has triumphed. The attacks turned us into monsters, grotesque ghouls, sadists and killers who drop bombs on village children and waterboard those we kidnap, strip of their rights and hold for years without due process. We acted before we were able to think. And it is the satanic lust of violence that has us locked in its grip.

    Yeah, Chris, it wasn’t the Right or Osama bin Laden that made us that way, it was the Left who has perpetuated this war beyond it’s logical conclusion by giving the enemy moral support, from the moment the “human shields” were posted at Hussein’s critical war assets, from the time three congressmen stood on the roof of Hussein’s palace and declared that Hussein was more trustworthy than our own president. From the moment of the birth of the IVAW. From the first calls from the Veterans For Peace for the impeachment of President Bush. From the time James Webb, an elected Senator, snubbed President Bush in the White House.

    From the first time intellectual midgets like Chris Hedges blamed those who demanded that those attacks never occur again on American soil for the way this war was waged against 10th century throwbacks who behead innocent journalists, throw acid in the faces of preteen girls, murder their own countrymen in droves to make a political point. What we really loathe are dhimmis who are perfectly content to allow Americans to die by the thousands in unanswered attacks.

    Has anyone heard anyone from the Left present an alternative to the way we’ve waged war against Muslim extremists? Other than ending the war abruptly? It’s the left who has taken on the ugly face of revenge and bloodlust since they began calling for a declaration of victory now that bin Laden is dead. It wasn’t about revenge or pay back, the war against terror was about preventing the next attack on innocent Americans going about their daily lives, which it has so far accomplished.

    The blood that is on the Left’s collective hands is that of the American fighting men and women who died because of the Left’s protected right to be vocal retards and undermine our troops’ valiant efforts. Chris Hedges, you are what we loathe.

  • FUBAR!

    I missed this, and it’s in my old stomping grounds too?

    College Threatens to Nix 9/11 Tribute As Too American

    If you thought that something as innocuous as putting up 3,000 American flags on school grounds to pay tribute to those murdered on September 11 couldn’t be controversial, you haven’t been to Marietta College.
    Administrators at this liberal arts college in southeast Ohio are threatening to cancel a 9/11 memorial planned by their students if flags from other countries are not observed in the activities as well.

    This tribute was organized by students at the school. And it get’s worse:

    Meanwhile, Marietta officials are hosting 9/11 events on their own, but those activities pertain to how American Muslims are treated in a post-9/11 world.  On Sept. 13, for instance, the school is organizing a “Pizza & Politics” forum to discuss “how Muslims in the U.S. see/experience freedom of speech.”  The following day, there will be a faculty-led talk “on the misconception of the Arab-Muslim culture in the Western world, and the stereotypes Muslims experience in the U.S.”

     

  • Was Eugene Robinson paying attention?

    Eugene Robinson, the Washington Post columnist who won a Pulitzer prize in 2009 for cutting and pasting Obama campaign press releases, today explains why the war against terror is over in his column “Post-9/11 permanent state of war should have ended long ago“;

    There never was a “war on terrorism.” It wasn’t “terrorism” that crashed airliners into buildings on that brilliant Tuesday morning. The attacks were carried out by a 19-member assault team from al-Qaeda, a terrorist organization then being sheltered by the Taliban regime in Afghanistan. There most definitely was a war against al-Qaeda, and we won.

    Within four months, U.S. invasion forces had routed the Taliban and scattered what was left of al-Qaeda to the four winds. Maybe that was the moment we should have recognized our victory. Maybe it was March 1, 2003, when Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the man most responsible for designing and orchestrating the 9/11 attacks, was captured. Or maybe it was the moment in 2004 when Afghanistan’s fledgling democracy held its first presidential election.

    By the middle of the decade, we had accomplished every rational goal of the war that 9/11 began.

    He goes on to trot the old “Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with 9/11” excuse. According to the belly-aching left, represented by the vacuous Robinson, the war against terror was really a war for revenge…no real strategy other than getting payback for 9/11.

    So was Robinson paying attention when George W. Bush declared war against terrorists and said we wouldn’t differentiate between terrorists and the people/nations who supported them?

    It wasn’t a call to war directed at solely Americans, it was a call to war for the whole world. It was an opportunity for ALL civilized nations to eradicate the vermin who murder innocent people to make a political point. It was a chance for the Spaniards to declare all-out war on the Basques, for Colombia to wipe out FARC, for the world to battle against the Tamil Tigers, the Filipino Moros, the Partiya Karkerên Kurdistan. It was a missed opportunity for the United Nations to outlaw terrorism as a political weapon.

    The majority of the European countries instead wrung their hands and waved their crying towels in hopes that the US would once again do their heavy lifting so they could stay above the fray and pontificate about their purity.

    The left likes to say that Bush squandered the good will we’d earned from the world on 9/11, but it was the world who squandered an opportunity to stand up to the terrorists of the world. An opportunity that may not come around again. And that’s why i can’t feel sorry for the Indias, the Spains, the Indonesias who are continually plagued with terrorist attacks because they blew their chance to end terrorism.

    And linguini-spined hippies like Robinson shied away from the dirty work to be done, preferring to yap about “Bush’s War” and “chickenhawks” instead of recognizing that terrorism’s time was over. Of course, the Taliban and al Qaeda listened and fought for ten long years – ten years after they should have given up their struggle – because nimrods like Robinson gave them hope.

    Al Qaeda in Iraq finally gave up when they anticipated a victory after the 2006 elections but instead faced a “surge” of US troops in spite of the hippies and Democrats’ empty words of support for terrorism. Now al Qaeda is resurgent in Afghanistan because victory is within sight, thanks to our anticipated premature withdrawal.

    So, in reality, Robinson is correct, it’s time for his side to declare victory…for the terrorists. The European hand wringers and American intellectually vacant hippies, the gutless wonders, won it for them. When the next terrorist attack kills scores of Americans they can point with pride at that which they have wrought.

  • Fake video causes real murder.

    Everyone should know about the shooting of the two Air Force members in Germany that were going to Afghanistan. However a few days ago the shooter explained his motive.

    Uka blamed a video purporting to show American servicemen raping a young Muslim girl for prompting him to try and stop other US soldiers from getting to Afghanistan.

    Oh an to make interesting is who make the fake video.

    But the rape footage, billed as an authentic video entitled “what was done to our sisters,” turned out to be a fake using footage scene from the 2007 anti-Iraq war film “Redacted,” directed by Hollywood’s Brian de Palma.

    So here is a case where generic stereotypes if US troops has caused US service members to be seriously wounded and killed.

    The Murder says as much about the video.

    “I thought what I saw in that video, these people would do in Afghanistan,” he told the court.

    Does anything more need to be said about this?

  • Elaine Brower avoids being rational

    While the rest of us are preparing to remember the victims of the al Qaeda unprovoked attack on the United States on September 11th, 2001, Elaine Brower and World Can’t Wait are preparing to be complete assholes;

    I guess it’s too much to ask for the hag to think for a minute about her fellow New Yorkers and fellow Americans instead of her own selfish motives to give aid and comfort to the same people who attacked the country that day.

    I hope her tits fall off.

    Thanks to one of my ninjas for the link.

  • Navel gazing at hippie central

    Tom sends us an article from the New York Times written by essayist William Deresiewicz, the latest imbecile to weigh in on the subject of whether the troops qualify as heroes. He calls it the “The new cult of the uniform”;

    The term most characteristically employed, when the cult of the uniform is celebrated, is “heroes.” Perhaps no word in public life of late has been more thoroughly debased by overuse. Soldiers are “heroes”; firefighters are “heroes”; police officers are “heroes” — all of them, not the special few who undoubtedly deserve the term. So unthinking has the platitude become that someone referred to national park rangers on public radio recently as “heroes” — reflexively, in passing — presumably since they wear uniforms, as well. Stephen Colbert picked up on this phenomenon long ago, which is why he slyly refers to his viewers — and now, to the donors to his Super PAC — by the same term.

    Well, ya know what, compared to the three congressmen who stood on the roof of Saddam Hussein’s palace and declared Hussein to be more trustworthy than our own Republican president, compared to the “human shields” who went to Iraq to protect the people of Iraq from our bombs, but were instead employed willingly to protect Hussein’s war machine, compared to the Code Pink leaders who raised money for the enemy fighting against our troops in Falujah, not to mention Code Pink and union thugs protesting the war as the wounded are brought to Walter Reed on Friday nights, compared to the college students who spit on a wounded veteran outside of the National Archives back in January 2007, compared to all of those examples and countless others, the fricken forest rangers ARE heroes.

    Maybe the bar for being counted among “heroes” is so low because the anti-war left have debased themselves so much and disparaged the words “heroes” and “patriotism” to the point that anyone can be a hero or patriot compared to them.

    Deresiewicz might have a point if he had examined the entire issue instead of just trying to trivialize the views of one side of the spectrum. Have I mentioned that I hate hippies?

  • Blasphemy at HuffPost

    I guess even the folks at Huffington Post have their limits tolerating this shit from the Obama Administration;

    I know Ken Blackwell is a staunch conservative who ran for governor of Ohio in 2006, but still, the hippies at HuffPost must be freaking out at this in their reading material. Evidence of that is a comment which claims that Blackwell is an “intolerant bigot” because he’s attacking the President. I may be wrong, but if I remember correctly, Mr. Blackwell is an African-American, so the commenter must think that Blackwell is bigoted against the white half of Obama.

    Thanks to ROS for the link.
