War of Wits

“Now, the implications from the outside are obvious. If I see God as male, if I see God as white male, if I see God as superior, as God over us and not Immanuel, which means “God with us,” if I see God as mean, vengeful, authoritarian, sexist, or misogynist, then I see humans through that lens. My theological lens shapes my anthropological lens. And as a result, white males are superior; all others are inferior. And I order my society where I can worship God on Sunday morning wearing a black clergy robe and kill others on Sunday evening wearing a white Klan robe. I can have laws which favor whites over blacks in America or South Africa. I can construct a theology of apartheid in the Africana church (ph) and a theology of white supremacy in the North American or Germanic church. “  - Rev. Jeremiah Wright at the National Press Club 4/28/08

In case you missed the first round of endless excerpts from “The Best of Rev. Jeremiah Wright”, we were blessed again last week with the inspirational and uplifting rhetoric of Barack Obama’s former pastor. Having finally emerged from the sewer, Wright confirmed his depravity in front of the National Press Club by essentially restating his cockamamie theories about government culpability for AIDS and alleged US terrorism.

While the screws are put to average American in the form of taxpayer bailouts of self-serving, greedy financial interests the government deems too important to let collapse or soaring fuel and food costs, both the Bush Administration and the 110th Congress continue to fiddle while Rome burns.

They pass everything from token measures such as Bush’s economic stimulus package to Congress’ pet mortgage reform, to Nancy Pelosi’s behemoth “comprehensive” energy bill - using economic, environmental and cultural socialism to deal with America’s ills. But the reality is that these measures taken by our leadership on both sides of the aisle are anything but helpful. In fact they are quite damaging.

“You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them… It’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.” - Barack Obama

Barack Obama was a virtual unknown until he gave a keynote speech at the Democratic National Convention in 2004. Since then, he has made much of the power of words. He He has made millions writing books. He has hypnotized millions of people on the campaign trail with his speeches about hope and change. 

But the words he used weren’t always his own. When attacked by the Clintons as being all talk, his response included plagiarized lines because he felt they were so pivotal to the idea that he was qualified to be president. “Just Words?”, I recall he rhetorically asked.  Yes indeed, this is a man who is very familiar with the power of words.

You’ve got to hand it to Al Gore…

This shyster has managed to make a fortune convincing 3/4 of the population of the entire world that we’re all going to die in less than 100 years because of human-induced global warming while simultaneously managing to consume 10 times the energy of the average human.

Even though science is still debating such lofty theories as Einstein’s General Relativity and the exact details and catalysts of Darwin’s Evolution, Gore and his disciples have closed the book on global warming. According to them, global warming is the one theory that is no longer subject to debate and if you question it, you’re just simply wrong or an imbecile.

USMC Lance Corporal Stephen Tatum has finally been exonerated of the bogus charges leveled against him. Perhaps now he can begin to rebuild his life in the peace and prosperity he has fought so hard to secure for so many of us.

While I celebrate the decision to drop all charges against this Marine Rifleman, I also view the circumstances that surround that decision with much trepidation. When combined with the history of prosecutorial misconduct in these cases, it is a clear indication of how desperate the government is to nail the 3 remaining Marines, particularly Staff Sergeant Frank Wuterich.

“I would rather be tried by a jury of my peers than be carried by six of my friends in a casket.”  - Justin Sharratt  

Michelle Obama recently said that for the first time in her adult life, she was proud of her country. While I unequivocally disagree;  while I have found many occasions in my adult life to be proud of my country, I can emphatically say that this is not one of them. As a matter of fact; for the first time in my adult life, I am unabashedly ashamed of my country. Ashamed that our Commander-In-Chief would order Marines from Lt. Col Jeffrey Chessani’s 3rd Battalion to battle terrorists in Iraq only to turn his back and hold his nose while these brave men, who should be held aloft on our shoulders and celebrated, are viciously and selectively prosecuted. It is nauseating, this wretched betrayal. (more…)

“The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a 3 strikes law and then wants us to sing God Bless America… No, no, no! Not God Bless America, God Damn America! That’s in the Bible.” - Barack Obama’s former Pastor and long-time spiritual advisor, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright on white oppression in America.

There’s an old saying: “If you lie down with dogs, you’re gonna get fleas.” 

And presidential hopeful Barack Obama is evidently beginning to scratch. The mainstream media is finally beginning to do their job, subjecting his background to a minimum level of scrutiny. What was uncovered last week was ugly. It raises serious questions about Obama’s beliefs, his judgment, his background and his ability to unite a polarized country to bring about the change he so vigorously champions.

“The magnitude of a lie always contains a certain factor of credibility.” - Adolph Hitler - Mein Kampf

The vicious slander against the Marines of 3/1 Kilo Co. brought forth by Pennsylvania Democrat John Murtha continues to receive the blessing of  the US Marine Corps leadership who seem quite content sacrificing these 4 men atop the altar of political correctness.

For over two years, the dubious allegations that 4 US Marines massacred 24 civilians “in cold blood” and 4 others helped them cover it up have been stinking up this country somethin’ fierce.  Completely unsupported by the facts, undenounced by President Bush, ignored by Congress and aided-and-abetted by a violence-obsessed media that is itself (ironically) vehemently anti-military, the myth has survived.

There was a time not very long ago that most Americans had never even heard of Barack Obama. I unabashedly admit that I was ignorant of his very existence until he delivered the keynote speech at the Democratic National Convention in 2004. Obama’s oratory captivated Democrats and he became an overnight sensation. Next thing you know, he’s occupying a Senate seat from Illinois –and after merely a year– vying to be Commander-In-Chief of the world’s mightiest military.

It’s quite obvious that Obama saw the US Senate as the quickest route to Pennsylvania Avenue even though he hasn’t really done anything substantive there. Hillary Clinton has criticized his record as a state legislator due to his penchant for voting “Present”, but I am more concerned over his record (or lack thereof) in the US Senate. He has missed nearly 40 percent of all Senate votes during the 110th Congress (190 out of 477) going back to early 2007. He has avoided rather than confronted controversial issues. Despite claiming unmatched opposition to the Iraq war, he has passed up various opportunities to cast his vote against it. (more…)

The New York Times; The Paper of Record; The home of all the news that’s fit to print has finally executed the ambush of John McCain that they have been planning for months.

Last Thursday’s hit piece, entitled “For McCain, Self-Confidence on Ethics Poses Its Own Risk” was long on rehashing decades-old charges of corruption and ties to Charles Keating, while devoid of all but insinuation and innuendo when it comes to the article’s substantive charge of a McCain affair with 40 year-old telecommunications lobbyist Linda Iseman.

“This fight is about war” - Bay Area Code Pink

The Berkeley, California City Council has declared war on the US Marine Corps.

On January 29, 2007, the Peace and Justice Commission of the Berkeley City Council recommended that the City Manager study the city’s options for running the US Marine Corps out of Berkeley. The recommendation referred to the Marines as a “violent influence”, directed the City Manager to send letters to the Shattuck Avenue Marine Corps recruiting station and the Commandant of the Corps telling them that the recruiting office was not welcome in their city and threatening the Marines that if they chose to stay in Berkeley, that they did so as uninvited and unwelcome intruders.

“I think I can, I think I can, I think I can…”

Americans know that without the sacrifices of our military, we’d soon bow to Mecca.We send phone cards and care packages to soldiers overseas. We focus vast resources on rehabilitating our combat wounded and employing our returning vets.

But while America opens its wallet to these men and pours out its heart for the wounded and the fallen, lost in the chatter are the political casualties of the Iraq war; brave men such as USMC 1st Lieutenant Andrew Grayson.

Grayson - 26,  is charged with obstruction of justice and making false official statements surrounding his alleged destruction of some 70 photographs the military contends were proof of the Little Massacre That Could in Haditha, Iraq in November of 2005. He is also charged with attempted fraudulent separation from the Marine Corps. Grayson’s trial is scheduled for May 2008. (more…)

“Until they come to grips with how long and frequent deployments are straining soldiers and shattering lives we will continue to see this frightening trend” - Lie of the week from Senator Patty Murray (D-WA)

The mainstream media’s propaganda war against the US military continues…

For years, the alphabet news networks, the New York Times, the AP and Reuters have been steadily beating the drum of defeat - spewing enemy propaganda and generally doing everything in their power to sap support at home for our military efforts abroad.

A few weeks ago, I published a piece on the New York Times’ fascination with military murders. Last week an AP writer had a fetish with military suicides. At some point, one has to ask why they’re so agog over the deaths of US military members? (more…)

Politicians always subscribe to the theory that throwing money at a problem, regardless of whether the money is ever even used to fix it, is always the solution to said problem. They never concern themselves with the actual implementation of their “fixes”. They simply allocate our money to federal agencies tasked with carrying out their wishes and their job is done. Yet another problem solved.

The economic stimulus package being jointly crafted by the President and the House is not the answer to our problems. It may not help. In fact, it may exacerbate our economic woes. It is by no means a done deal and must pass in the Senate, which signalled that they wanted it expanded.

In its current form, this socialist tripe; this stimulus package consists of tax rebates to 117 million Americans; Six hundred dollars to individuals who earn up to $75,000.00 and $1,200.00 + $300.00 per child for families who earn up to $150,000.00. People or families with incomes above those thresholds (who ironically pay the vast majority of income taxes) will see their rebates shrink as their income rises. Families with incomes above $200,000.00 don’t get squat.

With success taking shape in Iraq,  liberal journalists don’t have much to talk about. Unable to impugn the reputation of the military on the battlefield, the New York Times has again resorted to the character assassination of our armed forces here at home.

Both Iraq and Afghanistan have seen Americans awarded the Medal of Honor. There have been stories of selfless sacrifice; of Navy SEaLs exposing themselves to direct enemy fire to radio help for their team or Marines who instinctively hurl themselves on enemy grenades without hesitation. There have been missions where US Army soldiers were compromised by civilians, their missions ending with dead teammates because rather than neutralizing these threats, which would  both assure mission secrecy and be well within their rules of engagement, these gallant US soldiers chose to let them live.

But if you believe The New York Times’ Deborah Sontag and Lizette Alvarez,  the US military is nothing more than a ragtag collection of drunkards, wife beaters, drug abusers, criminals and murderers. (more…)
