  • New Oxford High School: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Krasny Oktyabr

    I thought I was pretty much inured to “teh stoopid” from the left and from academia.  Then this morning, I read this article.

    My jaw dropped.  Talk about yer “WTF?” moments.

    Yes, we in America must celebrate “glorious October Bolshevik Revolution”.  After all, it only lead – directly and through follow-on revolutions elsewhere it inspired or supported – to the murder by communist governments/movements of an estimated nearly 149,000,000 human beings for political reasons between 1917 and 1987.

    If you’d like to contact the school district involved and tell them what you thnk, their contact information can be found here – along with that of the high school itself.  I didn’t see any e-mail address info, but the pages seem have fax/phone/mailing contact info for each.

  • Slate: That useless 1st Amendment needs to change

    Mr Wolf sends us a link to Ace of Spades who links to Slate, whose Eric Posner who belittles Americans for clinging bitterly to that pesky 1st Amendment thingie;

    Americans need to learn that the rest of the world—and not just Muslims—see no sense in the First Amendment. Even other Western nations take a more circumspect position on freedom of expression than we do, realizing that often free speech must yield to other values and the need for order.

    Unlike Mr Posner, I’ve lived in parts of the world where the freedom to speak one’s mind isn’t as protected as it is in this country, and it’s not so pleasant. But, then, I was in those places to defend Mr Posner’s right to have an idiot opinion in the safety of his home, so maybe I’m a little more sensitive to idiot opinions like Mr Posner’s.

    Funny how the Left is always the first to complain about the their perceived loss of their free speech rights, until now when it’s inconvenient and makes us look foolish to the rest of the world. I don’t know about Mr Posner’s antecedents, but mine came here to enjoy the freedoms from the very same countries that Posner claims are ridiculing us for our freedoms.

    Remember Mark Steyn’s problems in Canada when he crossed the government’s sensibilities by criticizing islam? Or Bridgette Bardot’s 30,000 franc fines by the French government when she criticized the ritual slaughter of sheep by Muslims in France in her book “Le Carré de Pluton”? Are we willing to surrender our freedoms in the same manner just because the rest of the world doesn’t like it or thinks it’s silly?

  • That tolerant Left

    Now, the only reason I know who Nicki Minaj is because once in awhile they sneak in one of her videos while I keep MunDos latin music on in the background while I’m working and she has huge breasteses and mighty booty to hold them up, so, she’s hard to miss. But apparently, according to Michelle Malkin’s Twitchy, which monitors Twitter action, certain Leftist tweeters are calling for her head because her lyrics in one rap with Lil Wayne (I know…who?) went like this; “I’m a Republican voting for Mitt Romney/You lazy bitches is fucking up the economy”.

    So apparently for that, aside from the regular “Uncle Tom” chants, she also deserves to die.

    The bloodthirsty lynch mob didn’t care whether Minaj was baring her political soul, rapping in character or just searching for a word that sort of rhymed with “economy.” Twitter death wishes continued throughout the night.

    I’m not even sure Nicki even meant it (and I’m pretty sure she didn’t), but I guess we can’t wait for all of the facts before we start looking for rope and light the torches. But, you should click over to Twitchy and read the vile comments.

  • Yes, PC Has Reached the Point of Blithering Idiocy

    Remember, folks: according to our very own State Department the expression “hold down the fort” – as well as many others – is now to be considered offensive.

    For instance, Robinson warned, “hold down the fort” is a potentially insulting reference to American Indian stereotypes.

    “How many times have you or a colleague asked if someone could ‘hold down the fort?’” he wrote. “You were likely asking someone to watch the office while you go and do something else, but the phrase’s historical connotation to some is negative and racially offensive.”

    Read the rest of the article for some more real “winners” in terms of absolutely inane thinking.

    Yes, many common terms have different meanings today than they did years ago.  For example:  the term “slave” was derived from the generic term for the Slavic peoples of eastern Europe – Slavs.  So . . .  is saying I’m “slaving away” cutting the grass or at work now offensive to eastern Europeans?

    This is sheer idiocy.  And someone got paid to come up with it.

  • Finally a vet connection to the Empire State shooting

    Biermann sends us a link to CNN who finally was able to connect the gunman outside of the Empire State Building to the military. Yup, he was in the Coast Guard in the 1970s. I know there were Coast Guard in Vietnam, but Jeffrey Johnson, 58 turned 18 in 1972 after all US combat troops were withdrawn, so it’s not likely that Johnson served in combat, so it may be difficult for them to blame his actions on PTSD or other war-time trauma.

    The shooting might dissuade the New York police Department from continuing their use of the 9mm, though;

    Johnson died from nine gunshot wounds in his chest, the medical examiner’s office said. Three bullets were recovered from his body, while another four bullets exited his body, the medical examiner said. No explanation was given for two apparently unaccounted for bullets.

    When it takes nine hits to kill someone who is shooting at you, time to change guns. However, if they’re going to be such poor marksmen, maybe the public is safer with the cops using 9mm;

    Nine pedestrians suffered bullet or fragment wounds in the hail of gunfire, all from shots fired by police, Kelly said. Three passers-by sustained direct gunshot wounds, while the remaining six were hit by fragments, Kelly said.

    I erroneously, in my original post, linking to Fox, said Johnson had been fired the day before from his job where the shooting took place. I seems he’d been stewing in his apartment over the firing for a year. And, oh, yeah the CNN article mentioned that the victim, Steven Ercolino, 41, had filed a complaint with the local courts about Johnson in which he said he anticipated his fate. So, not only did government fail to protect bystanders in the incident, by training their officers to look beyond the target when firing in a crowd, they also failed to protect the intended victim by disregarding his complaint.

    So let’s write some more gun laws, shall we?

  • That racist military line again

    Reuters is dredging up the skinhead military boogeyman again…in the wake of the gay shooter, Floyd Corkins, at the Family Research Council last week. I guess they’re trying to wave off speculation about his motivation by bringing up Wade Page and the shooting at the Sikh Temple a few weeks ago. Page has become the latest Timothy McVeigh – the crazy vet bent on destroying the world. Of course, they lean heavily on “research” by the Southern Poverty Law Center – you know, those guys who probably influenced Corkins to start his thwarted rampage at the Family Research Council by calling the FRC a hate group. Like they called the American Legion a hate group a few years back.

    But anyway, Reuters and SPLC are trying to scare the crap out of the country;

    If this scenario [a race war] seems like fantasy or bluster, civil rights organizations take it as deadly serious, especially given recent events. Former U.S. Army soldier Wade Page opened fire with a 9mm handgun at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin on August 5, murdering six people and critically wounding three before killing himself during a shootout with police.

    Yeah, the only “civil rights organization” they quote in the whole piece is the SPLC who sees hate behind every blade of grass. And you’d think that an article like that would have some facts about someone who has been in the military in recent years, but no, the whole article is about people who left the military in the 90s, about incidences of so-called hate crimes that happened in more than a decade ago. ANd they still blame Bush;

    [Matt Kennard] argues the U.S. military was so desperate for troops while fighting simultaneous wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that it allowed extremists, felons and gang members into the armed forces.

    The military can grant a “moral waiver” to allow a convicted criminal or otherwise ineligible person into the armed forces, and the percentage of recruits granted such waivers grew from 16.7 percent in 2003 to 19.6 percent in 2006, according to Pentagon data obtained by the Palm Center in a 2007 Freedom of Information Act request. But the Pentagon says no waiver exists for participation in extremist organizations.

    Kennard just wrote a book called “Irregular Army: How the U.S. Military Recruited Neo-Nazis, Gang Members and Criminals to Fight the War on Terror”. An entire book about recruiting criminals during the war on terror and still no examples in the article about these skinheads that supposedly populate the military in the here and now. How can that be? Maybe because “the Pentagon says no waiver exists for participation in extremist organizations.”

    “This is the best we’ve ever seen,” said Heidi Beirich, leader of the Southern Poverty Law Center’s intelligence project, referring to the Pentagon’s attitude. “It was really disheartening under the Bush administration how lightly they took it, so this is a major advance.”

    Yeah, it was Bush. It couldn’t have been that there was no real problem, could it?

    Ya know, if I worked for the SPLC, I’d do some real research about militant gays who shoot unarmed black security guards in the middle of downtown DC and find out what motivates them. Or what makes college professors shoot up their colleagues, something useful besides looking for boogeymen in the military.

    It’s almost as if there’s a concerted effort to write off the military in an election year. But, I guess I’m just being silly.

  • Eric Boehlert, the partisan flack

    For those of you who missed Sparky’s link in the comments, here’s the Twitter shot of Eric Boehlert’s remark about the folks of Special Operations OPSEC Education Fund’s video they sent us yesterday;

    Get that? They don’t have the “guts”.

    Well, here are the tweets dear Eric has sent today;

    See anything critical of the Obama Administration there? No, me either. Looking at Boehlert’s Wiki page;

    Eric Boehlert is an American writer at Media Matters for America. Prior to this he was a senior writer for Salon for five years, and before that a contributing editor to Rolling Stone.

    See anything that might indicate Boehlert ever said anything good about any Conservative? Me neither.

    The folks at OPSEC respond;

    “We’re clearly not gutless. We’re in the public right now, completely out there,” [SEAL Scott] Taylor said.

    “Everything’s out there. It’s interesting how the [L]eft is trying to frame this as a partisan issue. I don’t care what party people are from within our group,” Taylor said. “This issue is about national security leaks.”

    “I wonder how many of this guy’s close friends he’s buried,” he added, referring to Boehlert.

    Since Boehlert’s bio at Wiki doesn’t include any military service, I’d have to guess “none” due to operational security violations.

    And I’d have to add that Boehlert doesn’t have the guts to admit that he’s a Soros/Obama flack.

  • Bernie Sanders’ blind spot

    This is a headline at Huffington Post today;

    While Social Security may be the “most successful” government program, I don’t think Sanders should be bragging about it since the news last month that the program pays out more than it takes in.

    To keep Social Security’s finances sound in the future I have introduced legislation — identical to a proposal that Obama advocated in 2008 — to apply the payroll tax on incomes above $250,000 a year. Under current law, only earnings up to $110,100 are taxed. The Center for Economic Policy and Research has estimated that applying the Social Security payroll tax on income above $250,000 would only impact the wealthiest 1.4 percent of wage earners.

    That makes complete sense, Bernie, you old commie, tax the people who will never collect a penny of Social Security. That’s not a transfer of wealth or class warfare at all, is it?

    I’ve been haunted by Sanders since I taught ROTC at UVM in Burlington, VT when Sanders was just the funny little carpetbagger communist mayor of Burlington. Who would have guessed that Vermonters would have inflicted him on the rest of us?

    There’s a guy back home who was fired from his job for smoking pot in the parking lot. Now no one will hire him, so he went on welfare, went through the dry out program, still can’t find a job, so he’s on SSI and started before he turned 50. I can’t imagine that he’s the only one like that, but it’s easier to keep people like that on the program and raise taxes on the rich than to make him get a job filling the ketchup baskets at McDs.

    While I’ll admit that, yeah, there’s a need for Social Security, there doesn’t need to be one that takes my money to pay a living wage to people who made bad choices.
