  • “Veterans” to march against White House for Peace

    A group of anti-war veterans have signed on to march against the White House to demand peace on Thursday, December 16th, probably hoping to avoid counterprotesters who have jobs and can’t show up on a Thursday. They compare themselves to the Bonus Marchers of the last century who marched after World War One for their benefits;

    In the early thirties, WW1 vets descended on Washington, D.C., to demand their promised bonuses, it being the depths of the Depression. General Douglas MacArthur and his sidekick Dwight Eisenhower disregarded President Herbert Hoover’s order and burned their encampment down and drove the vets out of town at bayonet point.

    We are today’s bonus marchers, and we’ve coming to claim our bonus-PEACE.

    Well, here are some of the people who’ve signed on to the above statement and whom we’ve discussed over the past few years.

    Brian Becker, National Coordinator, ANSWER Coalition; as you can imagine, Brian isn’t a veteran, just a Maoist bomb thrower. He runs ANSWER along with his brother also not a veteran.

    Medea Benjamin, Co-Founder, CODEPINK for Peace; yeah, she’s not a veteran either – yet there she is listed with veterans.

    Elaine Brower, Anti-war Military Mom and World Can’t Wait; She’s not a veteran, but her son was deployed to the GWOT three times – voluntarily. She’s fond of calling soldiers “baby killers” and “murderers” but exempts her son from such caricaturization and throws her son’s service in the face of her detractors at every opportunity.

    Scott Camil, Veterans For Peace; Camil was known as Scott the Assassin during the Vietnam War days because it was his idea to assassinate politicians who didn’t oppose that war. He was also one of the Gainesville Eight who plotted to disrupt the 1972 Republican National Convention in Miami by attacking the police, disrupting utilities and firebombing stores. The plot was foiled by the FBI. He was also shot once while trying to sell drugs to the DEA.

    Matthis Chiroux, Iraq War Resister Veteran; What can I say about Matthis you don’t already know. He’s not a veteran of GWOT.

    Bill Perry, Vietnam Veterans Against the War; Bill Perry was one of the original VVAW members who testified at the first Winter Soldier hearings. He admitted to me last year that his testimony at those hearings was “bullshit” to please the hippie chicks and John Kerry.

    Mike Prysner, Co-Founder, March Forward; Mike ran for office in the Party for Socialism and Justice. He ran for the Board of IVAW even though he’d left the organization to form March Forward because IVAW wasn’t radical enough for him.

    Ward Reilly, Veterans For Peace; Ward is a big fake. he walks around in boonie caps and tiger stripe uniforms to give the impression that he’s a Vietnam veteran, but his entire tour in the military was spent in Germany during Vietnam. He wears a Ranger tab on his boonie cap to give the impression that he’s a Ranger even though he’s never been to the school and wouldn’tmake a pimple on a real Ranger’s ass.

    He once questioned me on how I could justify my CIB since I earned it in Desert Storm. He was wearing a Ranger tab at the time. Hypocite.

    Cindy Sheehan, Founder, Peace of the Action; Not a veteran, just an old hag in the final throes of her fame.

    David Swanson, author; Swanson is professional crybaby. He founded AfterDowningStreet which has morphed into an Arrest Bush and Cheney organization. Mostly he whines that the Left isn’t Left enough. He’s not a veteran.

    Debra Sweet, National Director, World Can’t Wait; Sweet is everywhere a lame protest erupts. Lately, she’s taken to following Matthis around NYC-area schools. She’s not a veteran.

    Col. Ann Wright, Veterans For Peace; she famously resigned from the Bush State Department to protest the invasion of Iraq. She’s a liar, when it suits “the cause” and she alternates between Code Pink and Vets For Peace. You can see her service record at the link.

    Doug Zachary, Veterans For Peace; Zachary was booted from the USMC before he could be deployed to Vietnam, but, like Reilly, he plays the part of a Vietnam veteran. Imagine how screwed up you have to be to kicked out of the Marines in 1968. Zachary loots every anti-war cause he can get his grubby paws near.

    There are more signatories, most of whom I don’t recognize by name. I only saw a few IVAW members on the list, but I’m sure they’ll be there.

  • Can TSA get more creepy? Yes they can.

    The Transportation Safety Administration, three words that have nothing to do with TSA’s actual work, has begun to “pat down” passengers who don’t want nude photos of themselves taken for the entertainment of some invisible TSA agents in a remote booth. Their “pat down” can go inside your clothes…but you knew all of that.

    So the pervs at TSA have offered to take their “pat down” on the road according to The Hill;

    The head of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) offered on Wednesday to have airport screeners come to Capitol Hill to give senators a pat-down so they could fully understand the mechanics of the newly deployed, controversial technique.

    John Pistole told senators on the Senate Science, Commerce and Transportation Committee that he “insisted” on receiving the pat-down to “experience what that involves so that we would know before we rolled it out,” and added that Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has gotten a pat-down as well.

    “Honestly, any member who has not experienced that pat-down [and] who would like to do that — I would not offer it — but an experienced qualified security officer would be glad to do that,” Pistole said.

    I’ll bet they’d be “glad” to do it.

    On election day, 2004, I flew through Reagan National and Miami International on my way to Panama to sit out the ballot count away from television sets. Of course, I wore my “Vets4Bush” polo shirt and endured more pat downs than a stripper on Victory Drive on payday night.

  • TSA jumps shark

    I guess I should have said something before about these body scanners that some have called intrusive. Personally, I have nothing against them…but then I’ve become a bit of an exhibitionist since all of that weight fell off of me this year. In fact, I make trips to the airport just to go through the scanners. Throw in someone to squeeze my nether regions and have a Sbarro’s Pizza within walking distance and I’ve got me a weekend getaway.

    But then the Transportation Security Agency just ruined it. Ya know, I’m out there at the airport beggin’ for it, but folks like John Tyner, who refused the body scan and filmed his body search, aren’t into it like me. Well, and it probably violates rights like unreasonable search and seizure.

    So how does the TSA compound treating airline passengers like they’re on their way to Treblinka? They announce that they’re going to do an investigation on Mr. Tyner. Oh, they announced an investigation at a press conference called specifically to announce the investigation.

    Michael J. Aguilar, chief of the TSA office in San Diego, called a news conference at the airport Monday afternoon to announce the probe. He said the investigation could lead to prosecution and civil penalties of up to $11,000.

    TSA agents had told Tyner on Saturday that he could be fined up to $10,000.

    “That’s the old fine,” Aguilar said. “It has been increased.”

    Yeah, that’s too far. That’s flat out intimidation. It’s an investigation just for the purpose of intimidating the rest of us. Who do these ham-handed troglodytes think they are? Yeah, I understand airline security. If someone bombed my plane, I’d curse the TSA all the way to the ground. But there are alternatives to groping nuts…and corresponding lady parts.

    And all of the attempted bombings have been directed AT the US from outside the country – from places that hand out bombs to passengers at the jet way. The TSA can’t possibly think that intimidation will work on Americans. I think they’ve overplayed their hand on this one.

    We patiently tolerated the two hour lines at the airport at 6 in the morning. We tolerated the rules about lap tops in separate little plastic boxes. We put up with showing the world our smelly, holey socks. We tolerated not carrying $1 bottles of water through the scanners so we could buy the $4 bottles from the scalpers on the other side. We tolerated losing our hand creams and after shave lotions. We even put up with the little notes in our luggage about our toiletries needing little plastic baggies to serve national security. But this time I think they pushed a little too far.

    Well, I’m off to pack for my weekend.

  • Zombie presents Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco

  • Britain’s got tale….er, problems

    The UK may have talent but they have bigger problems. Veterans Day(or still known as Armistice Day) in Britain gets some terrorist lovin’ from the religion of peace *cough*.

    It starts off as you might imagine

    Jonny Osborne, seven, symbolised the face of a new generation yesterday as he marched shoulder to shoulder with servicemen and women to honour those killed by war.

    Johnny Osbourne

    Those are his Great Uncle’s medals he wears with pride.

    His great-uncle, Sapper Lawrence Burton, was killed in fierce fighting on the beaches of Greece in 1941 while serving with the Royal Engineers….

    Jonny wore three of his medals yesterday as a guest of the Association of Veterans of Foreign wars, of which his U.S.-resident grandfather Terry Burton is president.
    His other great-uncle, Len Burton, was shot by a German sniper in Italy in 1945.
    So yesterday the great-nephew they never met added a few medals of his own to his blazer, among them a Spitfire emblem alongside Union Flag and Stars and Stripes badges.

    But the relion of peace??

    But three miles across London from the Armistice Day ceremony at the Cenotaph, another face of Britain was on display. It was contorted with hatred, poisoned by politics, and fuelled by flames from a giant, burning poppy.

    ROP

    Ya…..you stay classy guys…

    Let me show you what honor and respect look like…

    Armistice day

    Poppy

    Poppy2

    Now what did their service buy???? Oh ya, freedom of speech…and the freedom to be assmunching jackwagons…

    dickheads

    That Bobby looks like he’d love to shove that bullhorn where he wipes…I can empathize…I hope Jonn doesn’t mind that I added a new tag, I just didn’t see one for shitbags…
