New Computer

Me old laptop went dark,
on Christmas Day,
such a lousy present,
forced me to buy a new 'puter,
worse it forced me onto Vista.

But I will survive

12/16/1944

64 years ago

The Germans launched the 'Battle of the Bulge'.

They tried to retake Antwerp, and divide the Allies.

They ran into the 'Battling Bastards of Bastogne' aka the 101st Airborne.

The Germans had the 101st surrounded in Bastogne.
The Germans asked the 101st to surrender.

General McAuliffe reply was:

"Nuts"

AG Idea

Eric Holder is a corrupt seller of pardons, unsuitable as the nation's top law enforcement officer.

Patrick Fitzgerald has done an excellent job of weeding out corruption in Chicago.

I say promote Fitzgerald to AG.

Stealing the Election

Here we go again, 171 "miracle" ballots were found today by the Minnesota recount officials. Just like the 100 "miracle" ballots that were found during the initial count, these ballots were found in a heavily Democratic County. Ramsey county where the ballots were found went 52% For Franken (vs 34% Coleman) and 54% Obama. I don't know if the miracle is that they find the ballots, or that they ONLY find the ballots in Democratic Party counties.

****
Bull.
These are fraudulent ballots prepared after election day.

Democrats want a dictatorship, not democracy.

Help for the Major Media

NYPost THE international media have already morphed the horrific slaughter in Mumbai into the murky realm of euphemism and apologetics. Al Jazeera and The Guardian label the terrorists "gunmen"; CNN calls them "militants."

*****
MOSLEM TERRORISTS
MURDERED INNOCENT PEOPLE
IN MUMBAI.

That is the plain truth of what happened in Mumbai (Bombay) India.

Moslem Infestation

From Focusing on Islam com.

He outlines what he calls the “Islamic Invasion of America” which he says Americans are blind to, and that there are a number of things in which Islamists are doing to assimilate and eventually dominate, similar to what is happening in Europe today. Take a look at some of the points he makes.

20 tactics used by Islamists to invade America:

1. Terminate America’s freedom of speech by replacing it with hate crime bills statewide and nation-wide.

2. Wage a war of words using black leaders like Louis Farrakhan, Rev. Jesse Jackson and other visible religious personalities to promote Islam as the original African-American’ s religion while Christianity is for the whites! Strange enough, no one tells the African-Americans that it was the Arab Muslims who captured them and sold them as slaves, neither the fact that in Arabic the word for black and slave is the same, “Abed.”

3. Engage the American public in dialogues, discussions, debates in colleges, universities, public libraries, radio, TV, churches and mosques on the virtues of Islam. Proclaim how it is historically another religion like Judaism and Christianity with the same monotheistic faith.

4. Nominate Muslim sympathizers to political office for favorable legislation to Islam and support potential sympathizers by block voting.

5. Take control of as much of Hollywood, the press, TV, radio and the Internet by buying the corporations or a controlling stock.

6. Yield to the fear of imminent shut-off of the lifeblood of America: the black gold. America’s economy depends on oil, (1000 products are derived from oil), so does its personal and industrial transportation and manufacturing -41% comes from the Middle East.

7. Yell, “foul, out-of-context, personal interpretation, hate crime,
Zionist, un- American, inaccurate interpretation of the Quran” anytime Islam is criticized or the Quran is analyzed in the public arena.

...

9. Accelerate Islamic demographic growth via:

* Massive immigration (100,000 annually since 1961).

* No birth control whatsoever - every baby of Muslim parents is automatically a Muslim and cannot choose another religion later.

* Muslim men must marry American women and Islamize them (10,000 annually). Then divorce them and remarry every five years - since one cannot have the Muslim legal permission to marry four at one time. This is a legal solution in America.

...

11. Provide very sizable monetary Muslim grants to colleges and universities in America to establish “Centers for Islamic studies” with Muslim directors to promote Islam in higher education institutions.

...

15. Form riots and demonstrations in the prison system demanding Islamic Sharia as the way of life, not American’s justice system.

16. Open numerous charities throughout the U.S. but use the funds to support Islamic terrorism with American dollars.

17. Raise interest in Islam on America’s campuses by insisting that freshman take at least one course on Islam. Be sure that the writer is a bonafide American, Christian, scholarly and able to cover up the violence in the Quran and express the peaceful, spiritual and religious aspect only.

...

19. Send intimidating messages and messengers to the outspoken individuals who are critical of Islam and seek to eliminate them by hook or crook.

20. Applaud Muslims as loyal citizens of the US by spotlighting their voting record as the highest percentage of all minority and ethic groups in America".

Moslems Support Mass Murder

Moslems support mass murder even when they are the victims.
(from online.wsj.com)

Moslems do not protest murders committed by Moslems, they quietly support the slaughter of innocent men. women, and children.

Moslems seek to destroy civilization,
Moslems are barbaric animals,
Moslems need to be ruthlessly culled from society.

Yes, the civilize world needs to eliminate Moslems.
Moslems have no mercy, and should be shown no mercy.
This is a war to defend civilization from the barbarians.

Islam: Sick and Ignorant

Many Muslims said they are worried such carnage is besmirching their religion.

“The occupation of the synagogue and killing people in hotels tarnishes the Muslim faith,” said Kazim al-Muqdadi, a political science lecturer at Baghdad University. “Anyone who slaughters people and screams `Allahu Akbar’ (God is Great) is sick and ignorant.”

Moslems routinely commit mass murder in the name of Allah (Satan).
It happens daily.
This slaughter of non-Moslems is supported and encouraged by numerous fatwas issued by clerics.

The goal is the destruction of civilization.

Islam is a Death Cult

Moslems:
the followers of Allah (Satan),
who worship Death,
who celebrate the murder of innocent men, women, and children,
Have struck again,
In India, killing over 100 innocent people.

Only Satan (Allah) can encourage such barbaric acts of slaughter.

Islam is a Death Cult.
It is not a religion of peace,
it is a mob of murderers.
Islam worships bloodshed.
Islam encourages lies,
Moslems lie about Islam,
but the act of Moslems murdering innocent people speaks louder than their lies.

The civilized world must find the strength to utterly and completely destroy Islam and it religion of death, or civilization will perish from the earth.

Democrats Are Crybabies

By James Richardson at RedState.com

After being dealt a serious blow today by the Minnesota state Canvassing board, who, much to the ire of Team Franken, refused to re-examine rejected absentee ballots, Al Franken’s band of merry men were forced to regroup, but vowed to continue their fight in a press conference.

According to Marc Elias, Franken’s lead recount attorney, the protracted legal battle for Norm Coleman’s senate seat will indefinitely continue. Elias, whose comments were first reported by Talking Points Memo’s Eric Kleefeld, signaled their readiness to take their fight to, of all places, the United States Senate:

There are a number of ways this can happen, whether it is at the county level, before the state canvassing board, before the courts of Minnesota, or before the United States Senate, we do not know," said Elias -- but they will see to it that every vote is counted.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid echoed Elias’ sentiments – a stark reversal of opinion from his own 1988 recount – in a statement today from his US Senate office, saying “Today's decision by the Minnesota Canvassing Board not to count certain absentee ballots is cause for great concern.”

Reid’s politically motivated endorsement of Franken’s intentions point to the possibility that senior Democrats, if called upon, would support the Franken campaign’s move to hijack the recount process and move for Senate intervention.

Of course, Reid knows a thing or two about recounts and possible senate intervention, though he opposed both in 1988 after being declared the winner in Nevada’s 2^nd closest election to date. Reid characterized recounts as both a waste of time and money. "If they [now-Senator John Ensign] want a recount, more power to them. It won't change the vote,” he said in an interview with the AP. Adding, “It's a big waste of money.” Isn’t it amazing what 20 years can do?

Despite Reid’s flawed (and ever-changing) interpretation, recounts are not partisan tools to bolster majorities. If the Democratic leadership holds dear the sanctity of the electoral process, they would do well to not inject partisanship in a non-partisan process.

"The recount process in Minnesota is being handled by Minnesotans, not D.C. politicians," said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. “Neutrality and distance from the Minnesota recount is particularly important for Senators on the Senate Rules Committee who would need to remain neutral if the election results are considered by the committee.”

*****

Al Franken: A LOSER

Mr Franken, you lost the election, but it was close.

Mr Franken, you are losing the recount, but the recount is not finished.

Mr Franken, you lost your attempt to change the election law, after the election - the rejected absentee ballots.

Mr Franken, a word of advice, quit being a CRYBABY. 

Senator Reid, you need to stay out of this election, which is being fairly and legally counted. Your threat to have the US Senate overturn the will of the people and the legal process, if carried out, will cause numerous Democrats to lose in 2010, because 'we the people' will have our way.

Gettysburg Address

Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
November 19, 1863

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

11:11 11/11

The eleventh minute of the eleventh hour
of the eleventh day of the eleventh month,
the Great War  ended.

In American, we call it 'Veterans Day' to honor all who have worn the uniform, whether it was Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine or Coast Guard. 

I am honored and humbled to be counted as a Navy veteran.
I served in Reagan's '600 ship Navy'.
I am not a combat veteran, nary a day of combat for me.

I have met many a WWII veteran, survivors of Pearl Harbor, Bataan Death March, Normandy, USS Franklin - Men who just did what had to be done.

I have met several Korean War veterans, one who was awarded the MOH for his actions, he was my barber in Concord, Ca. in the mid-1980's.

I have served with and met numerous Vietnam veterans.

My NROTC classmates fought the 1st Gulf War. I resigned my commision in April of 1990, received my discharge orders on Aug 2, 1990 (the very day Iraq invaded Kuwait.)

The children of my peers are fighting in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other places today.

President-elect Obama's blunders

This post will be a running tally of our 44th President's errors.

1) His total lack of class -
BO's tasteless remark about Nancy Reagan. 11/07/08.

President-elect Barack Obama called Nancy Reagan this afternoon to apologize for a joke about her having held "séances" in the White House, an Obama aide said.

Obama was asked at his press conference today if he'd spoken to all the "living" presidents.

"I have spoken to all of them who are living," he responded. "I didn’t want to get into a Nancy Reagan thing about doing any séances."

BONUS: It was First Lady Hillary Clinton and Presdient Bill Clinton who held séances at the White House.

2) 11/08/08 - Obama Offends Ally.

Obama Bellweather Item Alert - no committment to Poland over Missile Shield Villagers with Torches

Barack Obama has made no commitment that a missile defense shield in eastern Europe will go ahead, an advisor to the president-elect said Saturday, in apparent contradiction of statements by Poland

Earlier, a statement from Polish President Lech Kaczynski after the two men spoke by telephone said Obama had said he would go ahead with plans to build a missile defense shield in eastern Europe despite threats from Russia.

The USA has signed an agreement with Poland to base these missiles there, this agreement has been approved by NATO.
This missile defense shield is a proven weapon system.


3) Ready to rule on Day 1.

The co-chair of Barack Obama’s Transition Team, Valerie Jarrett, appeared on Meet the Press this weekend and used, shall we say, an interesting word to described what she thinks Barack Obama will be doing in January when he’s officially sworn into office. She told Tom Brokaw that Obama will be ready to “rule” on day one. It’s a word that reflects the worst fears that people have for Obama the “arrogant,” the “messiah,” that imagines he’s here to “rule” instead of govern.

We have a wannabe dictator on our hands.

BO's Life Insurance Policies

Now various folks are worrying about BO's life, just fueling the fires for the gun grabbers.

BO has life insurance in depth.
1) VP Biden
2) Speaker Pelosi
3) Senator Byrd
4) Sec. of State JF Kerry (rumored)

Now, VP-elect Biden is an idiot, and some people would prefer the idiot over BO, but it would be pure chaos with Biden as President.

Thank You - Senator McCain

Senator McCain

Thank You.

You maintained dignity and honor in the campaign.

Thank you, for introducing Governor Palin to the nation. She is the hope for the future of this country.

Thank you for your 22 years as a Naval Officer (yep, I honor the service of 'brownshoes'.)
Thank you for your 26 years and counting - of service on Capital Hill.

Please work with your fellow Senator Republicans and the House Republicans to blunt the radical plans of the Democrats.
 
Stop being the nice guy, attack their plans, use every House and Senate rule against them, force the Democrats to own every new law passed.

Attack each and every cabinet appointee. (drag out their confirmations, force the President-elect to defend each selection.)

Their planned tax increases will kill the economy, (try to modify each and every bill to cut taxes, cut spending, filibuster, force the President to openly support the tax and spending increases.)

Block the socialist judges President Obama will nominate, (filibuster them, don't cave in, force him to withdraw the radicals and nominate moderate judges, filibuster them, force the President to personally and openly to support each and every judge before allowing a confirmation vote.)

Support the troops.
Support our allies, including Israel. 

Senator McCain, the country needs you to obstruct the socialist plans of the new administration.
We no longer need Senator 'Nice Guy' McCain, bipartisan should not mean surrender.
We need Senator 'Maverick' McCain, a warrior fighting for our Constitution.

Senator - remember your oath - "I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies, foriegn and domestic."

Again, THANK YOU for your years of service.
