Dish'n out, but can't take it

Interesting supporters you have there in your Houston field office, Senator. Capt. Ed started it all, with these pictures coming from LGF.

I am getting a kick how some Obama supporters just don't see it (it being that Che was a Communist mass murderer and those who support him are no better than neo-Nazi idiots) - and are getting all snippy about the fact that the useful-idiot Left is moving to others are pointing it out. Classic messenger shooting.

Funny, if a Republican field office had a big Odin's Cross on the wall - for some reason I don't think they would feel the same.

The Obama supporters are mad simply because the reality isn't meeting their fantasy.

Papa Salamander always told me; "You can judge a man by the friends he keeps."


Wise man.

Islam (Hechem, one issue) on the way out?

Remember him? Hmmmmmmm....

In a stunning turn of events, a high-level Muslim military aide blamed for costing an intelligence contractor his job will step down from his own Pentagon post, WND has learned.

Meanwhile, his rival, Maj. Stephen Coughlin, a leading authority on Islamic war doctrine, may stay in the Pentagon, moving from the office of the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to the office of the secretary of defense. However, sources say a former U.S. ambassador to Turkey is trying to block his new contract.
...
But as a result of the ensuing firestorm that played out in the conservative press – led by Washington Times Pentagon reporter Bill Gertz – Islam was put under a microscope, and questions were raised regarding his background.

For example, Claudia Rosett of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies wrote a column challenging key claims in Islam's official biography. Within days, a Defense Department profile of Islam was removed from the department's website.

A Pentagon spokesman said it was "taken down in an attempt to reduce the rhetoric and the emotion surrounding this issue while we try to determine the facts."

A senior U.S. official says the life story Islam presented now appears sketchy.

"His resume didn't add up, and he knows it," the official said. "He's voluntarily leaving the government in March."

More to follow, I'm sure.

Shift your flag and raise it high

As you know, I went from Romney to Rudy to Romney. With both of them giving the nod to McCain as they left the field; I am going to join them; and put my money where my mouth is as well.

I am an American before I am a Southerner, Republican, (l)ibertarian, or (c)onservative. I do not expect perfection and clear alignment - and with Sen. McCain (R-AZ) I sure don't get it.

What I do get however, is a man who I can go to sleep at night knowing he will get the job done close to the way I believe it needs to get done.

I will not sleep well at night with the far-Left, fuzzy utopia thinking of a nice law professor who needs significant OJT and clue-batting. I also will not sleep at night at all knowing that Hillary is trying all she can do to find as many ways as possible to run my life, take my money, warp my freedoms, and generally feed her hunger for power.

True, on immigration all the way to freedom of speech I am not aligned with McCain - but on most things I feel fine with him.

Though I like them in general, I am not like Limbaugh, Malkin, and Coulter. They seem to be in a place where they are willing to let ideological purity get in the way of what is the best imperfect choice. I will part ways with them here. I will take the good now, and worry about the perfect the next time around.

There is one area where Limbaugh is right; regardless if you support McCain or not, if you dislike Pelosi and Reed and what they represent - if you can't invest in McCain then think about the House and Senate races in your area and put your efforts there. The Dems have a big advantage in '08 for mostly technical reasons - don't give them more votes than they already have.

One way or another, this is no time for a free people to pout or sit out. As much as an Active Duty Officer can, I am now engaging. My time, effort, vote and money is going McCain.

Join up, explain yourself, or shut up.

How are your buddies doing Joe?

You know, the ones in the German American Bund ... errrrr .... sorry Rep. Sestak (D-PA) ... I meant CAIR. From PowerLine;

Now Investor's Business Daily draws attention to a prosectution of a senior CAIR official who trained to wage jihad against American soldiers. IBD reports that the government has shed a little more light on CAIR in papers filed with the court:

"From its founding by Muslim Brotherhood leaders," the filing states, "CAIR conspired with other affiliates of the Muslim Brotherhood to support terrorists." The government also cited evidence "the conspirators used deception to conceal from the American public their connections to terrorists."

IBD notes the senators and representatives who have spoken up for CAIR. IBD doesn't mention CAIR's close connections to MInnesota's own Fifth District Rep. Keith Ellison.

Nice supporters you have there RADM (Ret.) Sestak.

Nancy didn't get the memo

As we all read things such as this from Al Qaeda,

In the Name of Allah the Most Merciful the Most Compassionate
Date: Third of Shawaal of 1428 Hijri(H)[Gregorian: 15 Oct 2007]
Islamic Greetings
This is My Will:
I am Abu-Tariq, Emir [leader] of Al-Layin and al-Mashahdah Sector.
There were almost 600 fighters in our Sector before the Tribes changed course 360 degrees under the influence of the so-called Islamic Army (Deserter of Jihad) and other known believer groups. Many of our fighters quit and some of them joined the deserters, and later on I will mention the names of Fighters who stood by us (faithful fighters), but things started getting worse ever since, and as a result of that the number of fighters dropped down to 20 or less which led us to move some of our vehicles to another location (Al-Muthanna Establishment Area) for security reason where our brother (redacted) is stationed at(I will also mention the type vehicles at the end.)

The Speaker of the House, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), said this.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said twice Sunday that Iraq “is a failure,” adding that President Bush’s troop surge has “not produced the desired effect.”

People. Let the Dems get the White House and the House AND the Senate and then .... something tells me that, Kosovo and Clinton like, you can rest assured that things coming out of Pelosi and Reed's mouth will change...

Chap finds the snatchers

I think my first two posts today were a bit too grumpy - so let me take a different tac.

Chap, nice innocent fella that he is - finds that the open minded, progressive, chilly-foodie Boomers are, well, what Jonah says they are.

I received a Nazi salute as I walked out, and the aging boomer eating his ice cream with his date near the door fluffed up and started telling me how he wasn’t going to talk to me as I was going out the door. I guess he didn’t like it when I stopped and asked him why he was talking to me if he didn’t want to talk to me…the gears didn’t move too quick on the guy.

Chap; aren't you glad they are on the other side? Trying to talk to them kind of reminds me of this.

Ball-less Boomer Navy

SJS has the whole message, you should read it. Piss-poor excuse; I don't buy it.

GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. OPNAV N88 APPROVED THE NAVAL AVIATION ENTERPRISE (NAE) CARRIER READINESS TEAM (CRT) REQUEST TO REMOVE THE CAPTAIN’S GIG FROM ALL CV/CVNS. REMOVAL OF THE CAPTAIN’S GIG WILL REDUCE MAINTENANCE COSTS AND FREE UP VALUABLE HANGAR BAY SPACE.

Hey, we are having BDU to hide from paint chips and those trying to find us overboard - we have E-6 and below wearing khaki - why not have the CO of a CVN wait in the liberty line like everyone else?

Pathetic. I weep for our Navy. "Enterprise" should only be used with USS in front of it. When do we start calling everyone "Comrade Captain?"
