Ye of little faith?

"We seek military action and democratic reform hand-in-glove to end Islamic rogue states and terrorist enclaves -- not because such audacious measures are our first option (appeasement, neglect, and complicity in the past were preferable), but because they are the last." - Davis Hansen /hat tip Buck Sargeant In an effort, yet again, to debunk the idea that appeasement to Islam will bring forth world peace I have to mention a blog entry by a mutual blogger friend of mine who lives in NYC. Andy is permanently chained to the liberal ideology and he and I have had many an argument, albeit respectful and engaging, over the last 3 years or so we’ve known each other. A comment he made on a recent post, however, has reminded me that that there is a prevailant attitude of appeasement with regard to Islamo facists, jihadists, terrorists, or whatever fashionable word the media is using these days- an attitude that is unrealistic and amounts to nothing more than suicide for the America...

Why We Win: Reason #547364859

/hat tip to LindaSog.com for this glorious example why the US Military** will prevail and why America is the best damn place on the planet. ** For the military enthusiasts- Yes, this is not a Navy aircraft despite the Village People song. Stop whacking off to Janes and just enjoy the freakin video.

Nerves of steel

Image
My father, retired USN after 27 years, used to tell me that a helo is nothing more than 30,000 parts flying in close formation. This photo shows the limits our military men and women will go through to save their own. This photo was taken by a soldier in Afghanistan of a helo rescue mission. The pilot is a PA Guard guy who flies EMS choppers in civilian life. How many people on the planet could set the back end of a chopper down on the roof top of a shack on a steep mountain cliff and hold it there while soldiers load wounded men in the rear? Stay safe, fellas.

Revenge of Marxism

It was busy last week and I did not have the time to devote to making any meaningful posts; work and school have taken their lion’s share of my waking hours. As fate would have it I did have an interesting class session yesterday as I gave a group presentation in my Communication and Change ,a graduate level class. This class is offered through Central Michigan University and taught on an Army Base here in Hawaii. Because of the location a lot of soldiers take classes there on base. My group came up with a change plan for a fictitious company, Penetrobe Inc., which was experiencing a severe decline in revenues. Our team traced the decline to a problem in Customer Service. As I was explaining the options to fix the problem I used the word expatriate and from the quizzical looks of some of my classmates I realized I was going to have to define the term. It wasn’t until the very end of my group presentation that someone mentioned my use of a stereotype in my description of expatriates an...

Small Miracles

Via Yahoo News: UNION, Mo. - Dorothy Torrez became suspicious when she noticed makeup on the forehead of the newborn baby her sister-in-law was claiming to have delivered a few days earlier. She rubbed the makeup off and found a strawberry-red birthmark that matched the description provided by investigators who had been combing the Franklin County countryside for a baby abducted on Friday. I think the first order of business is to give the kidnapper, Shannon Beck, a good old-fashioned horsewhipping followed by a traditional Singaporean caning. Oh, I almost forgot, then death by hanging. Or keelhauling. Whichever the bleeding heart liberals will protest against the most.

The Dog: A&E Special

Image
I watched an A&E special called Dog: the Family Speaks Out tonight and I was inspired by a comment on my previous post about Dog to write this one. The comment was made by Anonymous, go figure, and as I started tying out a response the response morphed into this new entry. Anonymous, I can understand why you would not use your real name after a ridiculous post like yours. To someone who reads about this on the news it probably comes off as a bounty hunter getting a taste of his own medicine. Dog is intimidating to look at and most people probably don’t get a warm fuzzy from a first impression. For those of us who live here in Hawaii and have seen this patriot fight for justice, his arrest for a 3 year old charge is highly suspicious at best or, at worst, a new low for the US Marshals and the US Judicial system. "Americans are apparently supposed to happily accept presence the roughly 100,000 criminal aliens inside our borders – a number that is growing every year – while the M...

Islam FAQ

FAQ - Islam Edition! Posted by Dean Barnett | 4:46 PM 1) Is Islam a Religion of Peace? Well, um…No, not really. 2) So all Muslims are violent and bent on war. That’s a hateful and bigoted thing to say. You sicken me. And you’ll never carry Michigan. That’s not what I said. You asked about Islam - I answered. You then erroneously inferred that I was speaking about all Muslims. I wasn’t. You misunderstood. 3) I don’t understand. I know you don’t, and it’s not your fault. You’ve been poisoned by the forces of political correctness. You’re the product of a school system that valued sensitivity and self-esteem more than it valued truth and rational inquiry. As a consequence, truths which may be hurtful and disquieting will often flummox you. But you, and the legions of those like you, have to grow up. 4) So what about Islam is not peaceful? Oh, where to begin. Actually, let’s just limit ourselves to the Koran, which is the revealed word of God and thus not to be trifled with. A few releva...

Islamic lunacy know no bounds

Danish cartoons depicting Muhammed, Bush's use of the word "Islamofacists" (which teh blogosphere has been using for ages), and now the Pope quoting a 700 year-old quote have all resulted in an uproar in the Muslim community leading to murders, threats to Western civilization, and rioting in the streets. That's some religion you got there. I can't believe the islamo-jackholes have now taken on 'da freakin Pope'. Actually, this might work in our favor. When word of this gets out the Mob, devout Catholics, will take care of business. You won't hear aobut it in the news but all over the world terrorists will come up missing, camel heads will end up in Al-Qaeda operative's beds and mahimahi, wrapped in a suicide bomber's vest, will end on the doorsteps of deranged clerics. I was disappointed when I heard the Pope was going to apologize, especially after I read that he had delayed his response to the response by the Islamo-tards over the Pope's...

Dog in Jail

Image
Duane "Dog" Chapman is a celebrity icon here in Hawaii. He doesn't sing in Waikiki, he isn't a politician and he doesn't give surfing lessons on North Shore. He brings in bad guys- he is a bounty hunter. Dog is a bail bondsman and his business Da Kine Bailbonds is featured on A&E. Dog and his family are on the constant search for bail jumpers and continually clean up the streets in Hawaii by bringing in ice heads, crack heads, rapists, and thugs. Although he is surrounded by a bad element, he treats his prisoners fairly, after eveyone has cooled down, and then he dispenses his Chicken Soup for the Soul Dog Style. My 3 year old loves Dog and sings the song that opens the show. He recognizes not only Dog but also his family. At a recent autograph session at a Pearl Harbor Naval Base block party my son pointed Dog out and almost crapped his pull-up as he shouted his name. Occasionally, Dog travels to the mainland to get bail jumpers who haul ass out of Honolulu I...

Zut Alores!

France was in for a revelation today when a video from Al-Queda's Ayman al-Zawahiri urged fellow Islamofacist assholes to to sow fear "in the hearts of the traitors and the apostate sons of France" and to crush the "pillars of the Crusader alliance." This came as quite a shocker to the people who thought that by turning against the United States on our War on Terror, distancing themselves from anything that might upset the insane Islamic leaders, and, basically, just being French would be enough to protect them from the brutality and backward thinking 100 million Muslims that want to kill infidels. Whoops! Listen up, and this goes for all you EU pansies and ultra-pathetic liberals who think you can reason with the sons of Allah- YOU CAN'T DO IT . For example, take this comment by Rosie O'donnell: ...radical Christianity is just as threatening as radical Islam in a country like America Really? Let's take a look at how awesome it would be for you, a ...

Howard Dean's nosedive

Everytime I see Dean I can't help but to remember his nosedive into psychpathic trauma when he gave his speech in Iowa a few years ago. Dave Chappelle captured the moment with tear jerking impunity. Howard Dean's 'I have a Scream' Speech

Never Forget

I thought about what I was going to write about for a long time today. Today is a significant day of remembrance marking a 5 year path from an event that is so ingrained into our everyday lives that it seems impossible that any of us could ever forget what happened. As I browsed the internet I saw many sites with memorials, some with movies outlining the events as they unfolded and still other sites clinging to the fanciful notion that Bush staged the whole thing to plunge us into a war with Iraq. I still get chocked up when I see videos and images of that date that will truly live in infamy, but I chose not to talk about any of that today. I don’t need a reminder of the pain, confusion, anger and awe I felt on that morning and I doubt anyone else does either. I will read about the good, the bad, and the retarded in the news outlets but only by accident. I think most patriots feel this way. I did hang a flag on my lanai, to hell with the house rules. I also printed out a memorial and t...

Hilton makes an ass out of herself- again.

It was all the buzz today when Beverly Hills police arrested Paris Hilton on DUI charges. For the life of me I will never understand why this stupid, spoiled whore makes the news. She has inherited millions as the heiress to the Hilton hotel chain and it is obvious she enjoys a life of luxury as she parades around the world making headlines wherever she goes. But is a vast inheritance just cause to make an ass out of yourself at every opportunity? My amateur psychology opinion draws the conclusion that although she had lots of money and never had to do any real work, despite what the pathetic show "The Simple Life" tries to convey, I suspect that she was probably raised by a nanny or molested by one of her many coaches, instructors, or trainers. She jockeys for attention amidst the "entertainment" industry because she never got any real attention at home. Now, for some reason, she is trying to get into the music business. Her first album, produced by her own (Daddy...
