A Militia of One

In a five to four ruling (guess what ideology the "four" give their allegiance to) the US Supreme Court has overturned a controversial Washington, DC gun ban and upheld the individual right to bear arms:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Thursday, for the first time in the nation's history, that individual Americans have the right to own guns for personal use, and struck down a strict gun control law in the nation's capital.

This should have been a unanimous decision.

Pelosi Supports Law to Suppress Conservative Speech

Which goes by its Orwellian title, the "Fairness Doctrine":

Experts say that the “Fairness Doctrine,” which was ended under the Reagan Administration, would put a major burden on small radio stations in providing equal time to Rush Limbaugh and other conservative broadcasters, who are a potent political force. Rather than engage in the costly practice of providing that time, the experts conclude, many stations would simply not carry Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and other talk show hosts who are likely to generate demands for equal time...

...“Do you personally support revival of the ‘Fairness Doctrine?’” I asked.

“Yes,” the speaker replied, without hesitation.

Some animals really are more equal than other animals.

Despicable

The piece of trash in this video is well known for being a professional assmaggot and media whore, so we won't mention its name here, or post the vile video in which it seeks to justify spitting on the graves of veterans at the Atlantic County Veterans Cemetery in Estell Manor, New Jersey.

What we'd like to know from our readers is this: does anyone know what constitutes "desecration" of graves in New Jersey. If spitting fills the bill, then the aforementioned piece of trash has provided video evidence of the offense. We'd also suggest that you flag the video as "hate speech."

Periorbital melanosis, or dark circles under the eyes can be a sign of untreated viral hepatitis. Perhaps the creature in the video has been sticking dirty things in its mouth.

Haditha Marine May Sue Murtha, Time Reporter

Charges against Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani, for allegedly failing to investigate the Haditha "massacre," have been dismissed. The government can, though, appeal the dismissal to get charges reinstated. Colonel Chessani's lawyer is waiting for that shoe to drop or not before moving forward with a suit against Murtha and the Time reporter who wrote up what now appears to be a story wholly created by enemy insurgents for propaganda purposes:

In an interview with nationally syndicated radio talk host Michael Savage, the lead attorney for Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani said he and his client will look into suing Murtha and the Time magazine reporter, Tim McGuirk, who first published the accusations by Iraqi insurgents.

Attorney Brian Rooney believes that Murtha made his "cold blood" statement for political gain:

"In my opinion, it's clear it was done during the election cycle, it was done to bolster himself in the party," the attorney said. "He was vying for a leadership position, and if he had to throw some Marines under the bus to do so, that was the cost of power for him."

Sounds spot on. This may explain why Murtha has so far failed to make an apology for his vicious smear campaign against the accused Marines. An apology would be an admission of culpability.

Anti-Tobacco Nazi Goes After Employees' Spouses

The spirit of Adolf Hitler lives on* [emphasis added]:

Weyers, owner of a health care benefits administrator in Lansing, Mich., gave his 200 employees an ultimatum in 2004: Quit smoking in 15 months or lose your job. He refused to hire smokers. Ultimately, he extended his smoking ban to employees' spouses and monitored compliance through mandatory random blood testing.

Why stop with cigarettes? Maybe Weyers could test his employees and their families for consumption of alcohol and unhealthy food. Since he's using his insurance costs to justify running their lives anyway, why not make them wear those "Special Ed" helmets whenever they leave the house, just in case?

Let's hope someone in Howard Weyers family can get him to seek psychiatric treatment.

*Adolf Hitler was the most famous anti-smoker in history.

For Father's Day

Once, when I was small, my father taught me something useless. I had seen the old photographs and held the medals in my hand. Purple Heart and Bronze Star. I had been clamoring for stories of what he did in that war. What kind of guns did he shoot? Did he get to use his bayonet? How many Japs did he kill?

But he taught me something useless instead. He taught me how to figure out the firing order for an 18 cylinder aircraft engine. I had a pretty dim understanding of what cylinders did in an engine (I was only seven years old, after all), but I listened and I learned. Somehow I forgot about the war while we talked.

Sometimes he would tell me about his buddies from boot camp – the slim, smiling young men in the old photographs. I especially loved the story of the brawl they started one night in a bar, and how he escaped the Shore Patrol by slipping out through a bathroom window. And his friend who took him for a ride in a Corsair, a single seat fighter. They took out the radio gear to make room for my dad behind the pilot’s seat. The Corsair went into a dive so steep and fast that my father blacked out for a few seconds.

As I grew older my dad did share some of his darker memories with me. It was very different from what I had read in books and seen in movies. I began to catch a glimpse of the pride and terror of combat Marines, how they clung to each other as brothers, facing unimaginable horrors in a violent and pitiless crucible.

He described the queer, queasy feeling he got in the pit of his stomach, diving “ass over teakettle” into war as a tailgunner in a Dauntless Divebomber. And the queer, queasy feeling he got piloting a slow, ungainly Catalina PBY flying boat in a combat zone full of Japanese fighters. And the tight, heavy feeling in his stomach when he returned from a foot patrol near Yontan airfield on Okinawa, with only one other man of the ten who had left with him, and that man wounded and soon to die. He was seventeen when he enlisted. By the time he was nineteen he was a sergeant of Marines, and marked for life.

He was never strident. He didn’t raise his voice. He didn’t preach. He spoke of awful things in a flat voice and I knew the terrible price that had been paid by men like him in that struggle.

Many stories are told of the bond between father and son. Dramatic stories of courage, sacrifice, and impossible odds overcome by the power of a father’s love. But I think that bond shows its power most often in quiet, mundane ways. Like this:

1-8-15-4-11-18-7-14-3-10-17-6-13-2-9-16-5-12-1

That’s the firing order of a World War II vintage 18 cylinder aircraft engine - a bit of useless lore carried for decades as a token of love by the son, a symbol of that enduring bond, and a talisman for me to cling to and celebrate a life that ended years ago.

Happy Father's Day, Dad. I remember.

Taliban Drag Queen Shot Before It Could Detonate

This little piggy gets no virgins:

The suicide bomb belt lies beside the body of the man shot in Lashkar Gar in Southern Helmand today.

Among the trail of clothes around him is the women's burqa with which he had disguised himself as he set out, explosives strapped to his chest, towards the police compound that was his target.

Afghan police shot the transvestite terrorist in the forehead before he could detonate his suicide vest.

As It Turns Out, ROCKEFELLER Lied

Update: The New York Sun's editorial board notes that Rockefeller deliberately manipulated data for his committee's report to support the "Bush Lied" meme:

Mr. Rockefeller decided to exclude a handwritten note from the CIA's terrorism analyst of the Mr. Bush's 2002 speech in Cincinnati on the eve of the Congressional vote authorizing the war saying the paragraphs about Iraq and terrorism were "all-Okay." Wrote Senators Bond, Chambliss, Hatch, and Burr in an addendum to the report: "Apparently the majority did not think this was something the public needed to know since they denied our request to include it and did not allow a vote on the amendment offered to fix this shortcoming."

*****

Fred Hiatt in the Washington Post, of all places:

But dive into Rockefeller's report, in search of where exactly President Bush lied about what his intelligence agencies were telling him about the threat posed by Saddam Hussein, and you may be surprised by what you find.

On Iraq's nuclear weapons program? The president's statements "were generally substantiated by intelligence community estimates."

On biological weapons, production capability and those infamous mobile laboratories? The president's statements "were substantiated by intelligence information."

On chemical weapons, then? "Substantiated by intelligence information."

On weapons of mass destruction overall (a separate section of the intelligence committee report)? "Generally substantiated by intelligence information." Delivery vehicles such as ballistic missiles? "Generally substantiated by available intelligence." Unmanned aerial vehicles that could be used to deliver WMDs? "Generally substantiated by intelligence information."

Hiatt also brings up Rockefeller's own inconvenient quote from October 2002:

"There has been some debate over how 'imminent' a threat Iraq poses. I do believe Iraq poses an imminent threat. I also believe after September 11, that question is increasingly outdated. . . . To insist on further evidence could put some of our fellow Americans at risk. Can we afford to take that chance? I do not think we can."

Verdict: Jay Rockefeller is a hyper-partisan weasel trying to project his own lack of character on others.

Mincing Metrosexual Milquetoasts

Why do Democrat men insist on being such prissy little bitches?

Gagdad Bob explains it all:

At the foundation of the State, writes LaBarre, “is our struggle to find both paternal power [an aspect of the vertical] and brotherly justice [the vertical prolonged into the horizontal] in the governing of men.” This is why something very psychologically noxious happens when government becomes mother. A similar thing happens when God becomes mother or mother becomes God. It interferes with the primordial basis of culture qua culture, which is to convert boys to men. If that fails to happen -- as with the left -- then civilization either cannot form or will not be able to sustain and defend itself, since there will be no men or manhood, only Democrats, or women and children.

Vermin Suppression Via Hellfire and 30mm

6 June, 1944: D-Day

The largest invasion in human history still came down to small groups of men - ultimately to the individuals - making heroic choices that collectively marked a turning point in history. The liberation of France and western Europe exacted a monstrous toll of blood.

The American media of the day could have made the argument that the huge invasion, with its massive casualty list, was a concession to Stalin, who was demanding another front to relieve pressure on the Red Army, advancing on Germany from the east.

Many of the French had collaborated with their Nazi conquerors, even to the point of participating in a puppet government, Vichy France. French had even fought alongside the Nazis in North Africa, scuttling their Mediterranean fleet rather than letting it fall into Allied hands. What point in liberating such a people?

After all, the British wanted to simply continue the Italian campaign and come in through Hitler's back door, seeing the Normandy invasion as perhaps unnecessary.

But the investigative reports and editorials went unwritten and the war was won.

Fox and Friends Interviews Jane Novak

A Great Way to Show Them You Care

Okay, so a Seabee, a Marine, and a Soldier walk into an airport and what do they see?

Well, when they're my friends Cookie, Loren, and Leroy they see that Syracuse's Hancock International Airport is a busy transit area for servicepeople from several different area outfits, and they also see that this rather small airport's services close up around 2100 hours. That means troops in transit, who sometimes have long, even overnight, layovers don't have anywhere to get a cuppa or a donut.

That's where Cookie, Loren, and Leroy want to come in. They're asking for donations to open a serviceperson's hospitality room at Hancock. You can make a tax-deductible donation, under the auspices of the Marine Corps League, and keep these guys stocked up so they can take care of our guys and gals on their way to and from duty stations all over the world.

Here's the link to Cookie's post, with all the info you need to help brighten the journey for America's heroes.

I've worked with all three of them. They're standup guys and you can be sure your donation will be put to good use.

Saddam Kicking Down Towers

The cartoon below was sent to me by an Army major who discovered it in a copy of Al-Qadissia*, the official Saddam-era Iraqi newspaper, when the major's unit staged at the Iraqi war college in Baghdad.

The cartoon shows a giant figure identified as Saddam, kicking over skyscrapers while a soldier with "USA" on his helmet scurries away, and the world looks on with approval.


The Al-Qadissia issue with the cartoon was dated June, 2000.

*Al-Qadissia is named for the decisive 636 AD battle that brought Islam to Persia on the tips of Arab swords. Saddam called the Iran-Iraq War "Saddam's Qadissia" and commemorated it with the famous giant crossed swords sculpture.

Sixth Haditha Marine Exonerated

From Agence France Presse:

A court martial on Wednesday acquitted a US Marine for his role in the deaths of 24 civilians in Haditha in Iraq in 2005, the sixth man to be exonerated in the affair, a military official said.
Lieutenant Andrew Grayson, 27, was declared "not guilty on all charges" by a jury, said a spokesman for the Camp Pendleton military base in southern California where the hearing started on May 28.

Another big FAIL for Time Magazine's "investigation," done without the aid of any American employees of Time, relying instead upon native "fixers" and "translators."

AFP can't quite bring itself to disown Time [emphasis added]:

A subsequent investigation by Time magazine showed that most of the dead were killed as Marines swept through three houses near the bombing, prompting a wide-ranging internal investigation.

Really? The "evidence" Time gathered from what were most likely terrorist/insurgent propagandists "showed that?" And yet there isn't enough credible evidence to support charges against the Marines Time (and Jack Murtha) insisted were guilty?

Haditha Conviction Scorecard
Truth, Justice, and the American way: 6
Time, Murtha, and other associated forces of evil: 0

Unfortunately, it's likely that military bureaucracy will ensure that, despite their exonerations, these Marines' careers will be permanently blighted.

Obama Campaign Uses Fallen Officers' Memorial as Public Toilet Site

So, where do you want the porta-potties for this here rally, sir?

Set them up over there, on that memorial, yeah, that one, with the flag at half-staff:

PORTLAND, OR – Police officers in Portland, Oregon, are still waiting for an apology from Barack Obama after campaign staffers of his recent rally in Portland, Oregon, setup porta potties directly on top of the Portland Police Memorial, which honors the agency’s 25 fallen police officers.

Obama staffers said that only that one particular open area, out of many, was suitable for wheelchair access.

One-Upping Anonymous Sourcing

Larry Johnson's opening paragraph regarding the alleged existence of a "bombshell" Michelle Obama video:

I learned over the weekend why the Republicans who have seen the tape of Michelle Obama ranting about “whitey” describe it as “STUNNING.” I have not seen it but I have heard from five separate sources who have spoken directly with people who have seen the tape. It features Michelle Obama and Louis Farrakhan. They are sitting on a panel at Jeremiah Wright’s Church when Michelle makes her intemperate remarks. Whoops!! When that image comes out it will enter the politcal ads hall of fame. It will be right up there with the little girl plucking daisy petals in the famous 1964 ad LBJ used against Barry Goldwater.

Johnson has spoken to people who have spoken to people who say they saw the tape? His anonymous sources have consulted their own anonymous sources for their anonymous opinions about a video that may or may not exist, or may exist in a radically different form than what Johnson has been advertising. LJ claims that Republican operatives are trying to prevent release of the video until October (and you thought the October Surprise was a Democrat spécialité de la maison).

I'm certainly no Obama fan, but let's keep the gloves above the belt, gentlemen, please. Nobody wants to see a testicle explosion.
