  • Update on Middlebury flag incident

    The other day, TSO wrote about Anna Shireman-Grabowski who tore up nearly 3000 flags which were meant as a 9-11 memorial and put them in a trash bag at Middlebury College in Vermont. She said she was destroying the memorial because (in her own stupid inability to capitalize and punctuate) “i knew in my core that thousands of american flags should not penetrate the earth where my abenaki brothers and sisters sleep.”

    Well, the chief of the Abenaki tribe of Vermont weighs in, by way of the Addison Independent;

    Don Stevens, chief of the Nulhegan Abenaki Tribe, called the vandalism “disgusting,” and believes the protesters were acting to promote their own political beliefs.

    “We didn’t know anything about this and if we had we certainly wouldn’t have sanctioned it,” Stevens said.

    He said that Abenakis do not publicize the locations of their burial sites in order to protect them, and that he has no knowledge of any such sites on the Middlebury campus. Stevens said that even if the site of the memorial had been a burial site, the American flags placed in the earth would not have been a desecration.

    “Our burial sites honor our warriors and their bravery,” Stevens said. “Putting flags in the earth to honor bravery would not be disrespectful.”

    According to the article, Chief Stevens is a veteran, his father served in the Korean War and his son served in Iraq. So the stinking hippies at Middlebury can put that in their pipe and smoke it.

  • DC “Peace vigil” found abandoned

    If you’ve been to Lafayette Park, across Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House in the last thirty years, you’ve seen the garbage heap that is known as the “Peace Vigil” usually occupied by human refuse. It has been allowed to remain in place without a permit because it’s been continuously occupied by someone for more than three decades. But that all changed the other night when it was left to one of those “Occupy veterans” to maintain the vigil, and probably like his less-than honorable service, he got tired of doing what he was supposed to do and wandered off into the night without telling anyone. According to the Washington Post, an alert Park Police Officer found the trash heap abandoned and picked it up;

    Park Police spokesman Paul Brooks confirmed that the vigil was taken down by police in the early morning hours after it was left unattended — a violation of National Park Service rules.

    The resulting outcry was immediate. Residents of Peace House, a home in Northwest Washington where Picciotto and the other activists who tend the vigil reside, spread the word among supporters and contacted local social service organizations for help.

    […]

    Picciotto said that the man who was covering the vigil overnight left sometime during the early morning and returned to the Peace House. Feriha Kaya, who manages Peace House, said the man is a veteran who suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder.

    Yeah, all veterans have PTSD, or didn’t you know that. Well, thankfully, the trash heap has been returned to the filthy hippies and they’ve piled it back up in front of the White House. Whew. We almost had a nuclear war there for a minute without the “peace vigil” to remind us of peace.

  • No eighteen cents for the troops

    ROS sends us a link to a Salon article in which some dainty-smelling fellow, Steven Salaita, pontificates about why we shouldn’t say we “support the troops”, all because the stingy little shit didn’t want to donate the 18 cents left over from his purchase to “the troops”. Obviously, the gentleman is too young to remember the years after the Vietnam War, when supporting the troops that returned from that war opened people up to ridicule. Somehow Salaita conflates supporting the troops to supporting corporate glut.

    In recent years I’ve grown fatigued of appeals on behalf of the troops, which intensify in proportion to the belligerence or potential unpopularity of the imperial adventure du jour.

    In addition to donating change to the troops, we are repeatedly impelled to “support our troops” or to “thank our troops.” God constantly blesses them. Politicians exalt them. We are warned, “If you can’t stand behind our troops, feel free to stand in front of them.” One wonders if our troops are the ass-kicking force of P.R. lore or an agglomeration of oversensitive duds and beggars.

    Such troop worship is trite and tiresome, but that’s not its primary danger. A nation that continuously publicizes appeals to “support our troops” is explicitly asking its citizens not to think. It is the ideal slogan for suppressing the practice of democracy, presented to us in the guise of democratic preservation.

    I wonder if he’d feel the same way if the store clerk had asked him to donate his change to support lesbian witches for abortion. I wonder if he’d just as proudly told the store clerk “No, thank you” if asked to support the homeless fish mongers of the Sahara and then yak about it incessantly in the pages of Salon mostly trying to justify his niggardly denial of eighteen friggin’ cents to himself.

    Ya know what? I don’t even want little Stevie, anti-corporation, anti-troops, anti-whatever to support the troops or anyone else he doesn’t want to support. I could give a tiny rats ass and the troops are probably better off without his whopping eighteen cents. I just want him to shut up about it, because he comes across as less than a man and it makes me feel sorry for his son who won’t grow up with a male role model. I hope his son rebels against his effeminate father, joins the Rangers and excels at kicking ass on some foreign enemy and then comes home safely. Then we’ll see how much Stevie “supports the troops”. Because it has to come from somewhere and right now Stevie is empty.

  • Doctors Without Borders making a run for the border.

    Well any border that takes them out of Somalia. It seems that the violence there has reached a point that they cannot operate due to the violence directed at them. It seems that according to the group that it is not just a few random attacks that are a issue but the environment that promotes theses attacks.

    It (Doctors Without Borders) said civilian leaders tolerate or “condone the killing, assaulting and abducting ” of aid workers.

    “The same actors with whom MSF must negotiate minimum guarantees to respect its medical humanitarian mission have in some cases played a role in the abuses against MSF staff, either through direct involvement or tacit approval, particularly but not exclusively in south-central Somalia,” it said.

    So this will course have a very negative effects for war torn places like Somalia and any area that is next to it. It is a sober reminder that noble ideals often falter in the face of harsh realities.

    But were is the stupid you ask? That is coming up next. While I do think that the risks that they do take is crazy I can at least sympathies with wanting to go out and try to bring relief to troubled areas. I mean I can relate to throwing caution and reason into the wind if it means helping someone.

    I thought that about a similar group called. “Our Journey to Smiles“. In the past few years they have gone down the path from naive idealism to shameless political talking points. Even when the reality of what type of violence awaits them after we leave they are still continue on with the absurdity.

    Which comes down to this video from them dreaming about “A world without borders” . Some noticeable points in the video.

    I feel that I need to do everything I can to stop climate change & to stop the environmental damage in general. We need to transform society so that it’s actually sustainable.

    With everything that is going on right now in Afghanistan, your worried about climate change? Tell me those are really “your” words there.

    All human beings live under the same blue sky.
    The sky has no borders! It has no borders..

    Yea, that is adorable.

    But here is the big one.

    My mother is sick & I need to take her to Pakistan.I’m worried about encountering problems at the border.How I wish for a world without borders!

    So all of this to do over worrying about not being able to cross into Pakistan from Afghanistan? But because it has ‘meaning” somehow it is getting people to post comments like this one.

    THIS IS BREATHTAKING!!!! SO POWERFUL!!! It MUST go Viral!! TASHAKOR & MOHABAT, from? the bottom of my Heart!

    Yea, good luck with that.

  • Conservatives are strong; hippies are weak

    Yeah, I know, Hondo wrote about it yesterday, but he didn’t use any good examples about the differences between strong conservatives and weak-ass hippies (yes, if you’re a liberal, you’re a stinkin’ hippie) like our buddy ROS did at Victory Girls;

    Take my beloved Jonn over at thisainthell.us for example- HOT-ness…….and so very a conservative veteran. Or THE hottest man I know- also a veteran, an MBA, an addiction to knowledge, and an abundance of other attributes too numerous for me to list………and conservative. LTC Allen West, Todd Palin, Dr. Ben Carson, Paul Ryan, Kevin Jackson of The Black Sphere, and Neil Cavuto (don’t judge me) are all conservatives, and just gaze upon that pile of smoldering intellectual GQ material. And then there’s Dwayne – Johnson, that is. Yeah, don’t even try to argue that one.

    Well, that’s only the important part (to me), so you should click over and read the rest. So I don’t get accused of Stolen Smarts, I don’t remember getting an MBA.

  • Ethan McCord: Karma’s a Bitch

    Define a hero.  Is it someone that stands up to the enemy?  Someone that saves a life?  Someone that’s caught on camera at just the right moment?  A lot of things could be considered heroic that the military does, but for the most part “doing your job” is still just doing your job.  Doing the bare minimum while in the military is not looked well upon within the community will often earn you open scorn.  If you were to use said minimum as a stump, and go on about how hard your life is for some drooling hippie, you’ll pretty much be black balled for life.  We all know people like that.  The guy that tells a sob story, to make the ladies all love his “heroism.”  Even “speaking truth to power” is somehow heroic if you’re on the right side of the issue (but if you’re, say telling the truth about Benghazi you’re a liar).

    2nd Battalion 16th Infantry is a unit like any other.  It’s ordered to do pretty much the same things every other light infantry battalion is ordered to do.  For some reason however 2/16 has more than it’s fair share of people trying to cash in on the unit’s illustrious, and sometime infamous history.  We all know about Ward Reilly, a faker that has gone around wearing a Ranger tab, he didn’t earn and saying he was a Ranger that refused service in Vietnam (which would have been hard seeing as the unit pulled out in 1970).  He tried to cash in on 2/16’s name, as an anti-war douche first for VVAW and now for IVAW.  Then there’s Ethan McCord.  Now he’s said a lot of things, which have been proven to be flat out untrue (rotational fire for instance) and taken videos from soldiers that were misbehaving to blow incidents way out of proportion.

    But the Anti-war crowd’s darling hero has a bit of a shady side.  For one, according to a source, [TSO: Deleted.  We don’t have a second source on this, and we’ll await more info.  What remains is as attributed, and is what we believe to be true.]  His first wife told me how he got the boot from the Navy Reserve, so in desperation he joined the Army.  The only problem is apparently Army basic was too tough for him so he called back to see if his soon to be ex-wife he was in the process of divorcing would fake a red cross message that his son was deathly ill so he could go home.  She hung up on him.  Continuing his shady streak after Basic, he married his second wife the same month he divorced his first.  Just to mess with her he, apparently, at one point he faked a PTSD episode while he was at the Ft Riley Warrior Transition Battalion.  The “episode” was so bad that his wife was in a near panic calling the command, asking what she should do.  The “episode” was resolved when he snapped out of it and said “just kidding.”  His Med Board process was something of a joke, but the Army went through it anyway.

    As for his life as a soldier, well its already been said by several of his former comrades that he sought to do the minimum.  You really can’t blame a guy for being scared, but when you get to Iraq as an infantryman, it’s too late for second thoughts.  The malingering and constant attempts to get out of going on patrol did not make him popular.  His NCOs refused to send him to the board, and there was some butt hurt about that because he had assured his wife (at the time) that he’d soon be E-5.  To my knowledge his only combat experience just so happened to be the same day some Apaches from 1/227 Aviation responded to Bravo 2/16’s troops in contact during Operation Ilaaj.  It was a hot long day, that had Bravo in contact nearly all day.  When all was said and done two Reuters photographers were dead, as well as the insurgents they were with, and a family that was on the battlefield for no apparent reason.  McCord very shortly after went home on mid-tour leave and refused to come back.  He probably would have been forgotten if not for a hissy fit thrown by Brianna Manning, and a man I like to call Ass-hat decided to release a video that was then two years old and call it “collateral murder.”

    In an instant he became a media darling.  He was all over RT, and Susan Sarandon called him up urging him to stay strong (whatever that means).  He joined “Not your soldiers” a truly hideous group of douchebags who lie to school children, then got married again and had more kids (last count is at least five by three women).  Then a documentary came out where he was the only featured speaker, and that documentary got nominated for an academy award.  It got the 2/16 veterans royally pissed and they all called him out on it.  I’m not sure if it was getting a tattoo of one of the company’s KIA’s that wasn’t even in his platoon (and who personally despised him) or that he said “collateral murder” happened every day in Iraq but the level of anger he incurred can not be understated.  He then got delirious over how his former comrades were issuing “death threats” (really just angry veterans hoping Karma struck and he got hit by a bus) and the hippies just gobbled that up.  He got WAY more attention than he should have, but thankfully his 15 minutes ended, and the veterans of 2/16, as well as 1/227 who’d had their names dragged through the mud went on to be the outstanding individuals they were.

    Now apparently we’re not taking care of him.  Apparently he can’t pay his bills and someone slashed the tires on his car.  Apparently life sucks for him, and he’s a victim.  Apparently Karma is a bitch.  I really have no doubt that he pissed off one of his neighbors, or said something next level stupid that went too far.  Hell I wouldn’t be surprised if he did it himself to further his “victim” status.  I also have no doubt that this “victim” will find some sucker to bail him out.  If you’re honestly thinking of loaning him a couple of bucks, here’s my advise: Don’t.  He’s a manipulative little [expletive deleted] that you should not waste the time of day on.  Also doubtless some [expletive deleted] will get it in his/her/it’s head that this “poor baby” really needs help that the cruel evil military wouldn’t give him.

    In the end, I have no doubt that the children he fathered from previous marriages will be stiffed his time, effort, or finances.  He never seems to have grasped the very basic concepts of Duty or Honor.  He never made a plan for what he’d do once “his” war ended or once the spotlight on the video faded.  He used everyone that ever gave a crap about him, and abandoned those that he didn’t consider useful.  All that artful shucking and jiving, and where has he gotten?  Nowhere.  If he stays at the ass end of Kansas, friendless, and barely able to make ends meet, then he brought that on himself.  All his manipulations, all his lies, and all the crocodile tears all the mud slinging he did to his former comrades all for what?  15 minutes in the spotlight.  Pah-Thetic!

  • Bill Ayers: hippie bombs are cool

    So, Bill Ayers, the friend of the President whose Weather underground terrorists of the late 60s and early 70s bombed the Pentagon, a statue in Chicago, bombed several Chicago police cars, bombed an ROTC building in Washington state, bombed a San Francisco police station, killing one officer, firebombed the house of a judge in New York City, bombed the offices of the National Guard Association in Washington, DC, tried to bomb the San Francisco Hall of Justice, bombed the new York City Police Headquarters, bombed the US Army base, The Presidio, bombed a Bank of America in New York City, bombed the Marin County Courthouse, bombed a Queens courtroom and a Long Island courthouse, bombed the Harvard Center for International Affairs, firebombed the Royal National Bank in NYC. Ayers defended the Weather Underground’s actions today at Kent State University saying that they’d never killed anyone, so their bombs were cool;

    There is no relationship at all between what Weather Underground members did and the bombings that two brothers allegedly committed on April 15 in Massachusetts, Ayers said in response to a reporter’s question. No one died in the Weather Underground bombings.

    “How different is the shooting in Connecticut from shooting at a hunting range?” Ayers said. “Just because they use the same thing, there’s no relationship at all.”

    Ayers, a retired professor of education at the University of Illinois-Chicago, co-founded the anti-Vietnam War Weather Underground group that bombed the U. S. Capitol, the Pentagon and other buildings in the late 1960s and into the early 1970s. The radical Weather Underground took its name from lyrics in a Bob Dylan song.

    The United States is the most violent country that has ever been created, Ayers said.

    Well, except for that policeman in San Francisco, and, oh yeah, there was Theodore Gold, Diana Oughton, and Terry Robbins, Weather Underground terrorists who accidentally blew themselves up while they were building a nail bomb in Greenwich Village. That bomb was intended for the Fort Dix NCO Club. Luckily those terrorists were incompetent boobs. And, oh, yeah, nail bombs are anti-personnel bombs, so those hippie terrorists didn’t kill too many people, but not from a lack of trying.

    So actually, Ayers buddies killed more people than those terrorists in Boston killed. And terror is terror – just because they didn’t kill all that many people, they did terrorize the nation just like the terrorists in Boston, and that was the whole intent – to scare people into listening to a political viewpoint they might otherwise ignore.

    U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., committed daily war crimes in Vietnam “and I get asked about violence when what I did was some destruction of property to issue a scream and cry against an illegal war in which 6,000 people a week are being killed,” Ayers said. “Six thousand a week being killed and I destroyed some property. Show me the equivalence. You should ask John McCain that question … I’m against violence.”

    Eat shit Ayers, if you don’t see the “equivalence” you need to go to jail until you’re rehabilitated, fucknugget.

    ADDED:     Chief Tango sends us a link to the FBI records on the Weather Underground.

  • Allen West threatens scumbags

    Apparently, Allen West’s wife is suffering stalkers and harassment at her work place and LTC West is drawing a line in the sand according to The Blaze;

    “This is not a threat, it is a promise that if Angela calls and tells me of one more incident, you will face me, the side of me you do not want to see.”

    Yeah, I might have admitted that is indeed a threat, but good on him. A husband is supposed to stick up for his wife (is that sexist, Insipid?). But, the filthy little hippie scum are trying a new tactic;

    In response, a student filed a complaint with FAU police against West, claiming his online warnings made her feel “in danger.” Stephanie Rosendorf of the Florida College Democrats wrote the complaint, according to Raw Story. In it she stated:

    As students, we deserve to feel safe exercising our First Amendment rights to peacefully assemble and express our grievances with the University. These days you never know if a threat on social media is to be taken lightly, and in this case it certainly should not be. Allen West is making me feel in danger at school.

    Well, there is a reasonable solution, you petty, immature little turd, stop harassing people. And your First Amendment rights don’t extend to making a woman afraid to come to work.

    Thanks to Chief Tango for the link.
