Civil War if Obama Loses

According to dried up old feminists like Erica Jong, if "The One" loses the election, civil war will break out and "blood will run in the streets". Let's see now, hippies, homies, and faggy actors VS real Americans. If it's true it would be the shortest war in history because the good guys have the hardware.

While some faggy actors own guns they usually hire regular people to carry them, so they are screwed. Note to hippies, BODY ODOR WON'T STOP BULLETS! While the homies do have "they nines" it's hard to be very effective when your only tactic is to run away holding your pants up with one hand and firing wildly behind you with a cheap pistol.

Even if Ms. Jong is right I predict that we decent Americans will be home from the "second civil war" in time for supper.

Liberalism Kills

The best thing about blogging is that if you wait long enough someone will come along and do your work for you. For a while now I've been thinking about doing a post on the harm caused by liberal policies. Not only has someone done the work for me, they came up with a cool name-Democide.

It's Not About Race, Really It's Not

Up until "THE ONE" arrived on the scene, Colin Powell was a self proclaimed Republican, and it's not hard to see why. He was moved up through the ranks of the Army on his own merits AND the recommendations of many Conservative Republican superiors. He was made a National Security Advisor by the most Conservative Republican President since Theodore Roosevelt. He was appointed the first black Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff with the full blessing of another Conservative Republican President and finally appointed as the first black Secretary of State by yet another Conservative Republican President. In spite of the love, respect, and historic success he has recieved from the Republican party he now chooses to betray them by supporting socialist Barack Obama for President. But it's okay, because he says, "It's not about race." Right. Mr Powell's willingness to turn his back on the party that made him and the men who served with and under him is sickening. There is a lesson in all this for Conservatives but I doubt they'll learn it. This type of overnight 180 degree philosophical turn around is beyond my ability to comprehend. It must be a black thang.

Friends and Associates

Colonel George Day is a Medal of Honor recipient for his actions while a prisoner of war in Vietnam. He is also a friend and supporter of John McCain. William Ayers is a domestic terrorist and admitted bomber of several federal buildings. He is also a friend and supporter of Barack Obama. John McCain is not a hero, but Colonel Day is, and they are friends. Barack Obama is not a terrorist, but William Ayers is, and they are friends. There is no middle ground here folks, you either love the America that you grew up in or you don't. Colonel Day does, and he wants President McCain, William Ayers doesn't, and he wants President Obama. The choice is black and white. What is there to be undecided about?

The Left doesn't like you if you don't like communists

If you've ever wondered why few people seem concerned about Obama's communist connections, this man's take might interest you.

Food

I'm not saying that Wright's bacon is the best bacon ever, I'm just saying I can't think of any that's better. You can get yours at the Wal-Mart or at the Albertson's deli. And probably other places too. You need it.

Bailout Confusion

Loathe as I am to admit that there is a subject that I don't fully understand, this bailout thing has me somewhat confused. If, as some people say, the credit crisis is the result of the Clinton administration forcing banks to make bad loans just so more minorities and other non-bill payers can "own" a home, then the banks deserve to be bailed out. If, as others say, the credit crisis is caused by greedy bankers taking advantage of a government backed program, the banks should be allowed to fail and those in charge should be prosecuted. Either way, morons who purchased more house than they could afford should be out on their asses. Wal-Mart sells tents. Goverment intervention in private business is something to be avoided in all but the direst of circumstances and the following quote points to the reason why.

"The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of "Liberalism" they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened." - Norman Thomas, six time presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America.

Note: Brigid, over at Home on the Range has an excellent quote from Andrew Jackson concerning crooked bankers.

Honor, Courage, Commitment

There are a few things in life that live up to the hype that surrounds them: Guiness stout, Michelin tires, Surefire lights and the United States Marine Corps. On Father's Day of this year, a mere nine days after graduating high school, The Final Son left a family he was close to and a fiancee he adores to fly 1400 miles and undergo the most rigorous basic military training in the world. On September 12, after 91 days of carefully orchestrated physical and mental abuse, he came out the other end, leaner, tougher and better.

As I stood in the stands and watched the ceremony I remembered back to the previous September when I stood on similar bleachers and watched him play linebacker for his high school team. I'm pretty sure my face turned red when it dawned on me that back then I just THOUGHT I knew what proud was.

If you ever find yourself doubting America's ability to produce high quality, serious minded young men, just go watch 599 new Marines march out onto the parade deck at MCRD in San Diego, trust me it's a sight that will put you at ease. As long as America can continue to find dedicated young men and women to populate ALL the branches of our armed forces we will be fine. And as long as the United States Marine Corps can continue to attract young men the caliber of the one pictured above we can all rest easy in the knowledge that the Corps will remain Semper Fidelis.

Note: For those of you thinking/hoping that this is the end of me bragging about my chidren/grandchildren, no such luck. Periodically I will continue to regale you with examples of what a great job I have done as a father beause you deserve to know. And yes, whatever great things my offspring achieve, is all me, because I'm just that good. Don't hate me because I'm perfect.

Undecided Voters Are Idiots

If undecided voters really exist, they must be on the same intellectual level as this guy. Let me make it easy for them. Barack Obama is wrong on every issue. John McCain is wrong on half the issues. There you go, half right versus all wrong, pretty easy really.

What's that? It's not about the issues, it's about personality? Okay, Barack Obama is charming but vacuous. John McCain is sarcastic but deliberate. There you go, deliberate versus vacuous, still pretty easy. Remember folks, we're picking someone to run the country not host the academy awards.

Number 6

On September 17th, 2008 Sergeant W. of the U. S Army and his lovely wife, "The Middle Daughter", welcomed my sixth Grandchild into the world. Contrary to a previous post, he is a fine looking lad and in no way resembles "ManBearPig". Congratulations to them and all that, but mainly, congratulations to me.

The boy's name is Angus, yes I am aware that it is the coolest name EVER. Eighteen years ago I wanted to name my youngest son (who you will be reading more about in a few days) Angus, but the pissing and moaning and wailing and crying that issued forth from my extended family members caused me to weaken and I am still somewhat ashamed to this day. On 09-17-08 when the nurse officially put pen to paper I was vindicated. Victory is Mine Sayeth the Archduke.

Note: While it may appear that I, The Archduke and my family are perfect, such is not the case. Little Angus and his three oldest cousins are the product of mixed marraiges. My first three grandkids, Madison, Alex, and Emma, who belong to PFC M. of the U.S Army and his lovely wife, The Original Daughter, ( AKA Armywife) along with Angus, have mothers that are UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA SOONER fans and fathers who are university of texas longhorn fans. Thank God my two middle grandchildren Aidyn and Penelope who belong to The Original Son, (AKA Vulcandeathgrip) and his lovely wife, shewhoasyethasnonickname, are the product of a marraige between two UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA SOONER fans. Try not to hold this serious character flaw against the two soldiers, after all they did both travel to the" Land of Sand and Stink" and put their lives on the line to defend us from the murderous muslims, and when it comes to these children, the UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA SOONER fans in the family will win in the end anyway.

17 year old Muslim girl granted annulment

How about this feisty Pakistani girl. (Not the one in the photo, but similar.) When she was 9 her parents married her off to a smelly 45 year Muslim pedophile. Convinced that there must be more to life than being raped on a daily basis, she began seeking a way out of her enslavement marriage. She found a sympathetic judge and was granted an annulment a few days ago. She was finally happy, then her parents murdered her.

I choose to disagree

I was watching some leftie on some talk show talk about Obama being "pro choice." Well hell who isn't? I like to choose the food I eat, the TV shows I watch, the uh friends I associate with, the color of my undies, my radio stations etc. etc... Of course as everyone knows I am easily confused and it took me a while to actually understand he was talking about abortion? Now look I am no fanatical anti baby killing kind of guy. I think there is a time and a term to do it if it is done. I do think R VS W should be overturned and the states should CHOOSE but other than that I am a little apathetic. That being said, why is it called pro choice? Why not pro baby killing, or infant murder is grand, or who needs condoms we have vacuums! Or simply "PRO ABORTION" Why is abortion a bad word? Why do the people who fight so strongly for it omit the mention of the act in their slogan? If it is ok it is ok right? Does it make them feel better to not mention the actual possible murderous act? I mean if I drunkenly crash my car into a pregnant woman then I can be charged for killing 2 people? That has always confused me. Ok lefties, repeat after me - "we believe a woman has the right to an ABORTION at any time. That is our choice." That needs to be on the t shirts and signs. I choose to quit writing now.

Geraldo Rivera likes to refer to himself as a "Warrior Journalist", I prefer the term "Hysterical Ninny".

Liberal Choice

While reading the linked article in the post below, I began to wonder, again; Where is the liberal outrage? Why aren't the feminists and all the other leftist screaming for something to be done to stop the murder of women and children by fundamentalist muslims? There is no shortage of righteous indignation every time some white, male executive calls his female secretary "darlin", or every time some woman who makes $150,000 a year fails to get a promotion. So why the silence when countless women and girls, worldwide, are being tortured, mutilated and murdered by muslim men, in the name of "honor"? It appears, for all the world, that the only people moved to action on this front are Conservative Americans.

The only possible explanation I have been able to come up with is this. Since it was President George W. Bush, a Semi-Conservative White American Male, who gave the order to bring the iron fist of America down on the crazy muslims, the good leftist MUST conclude that the crazy muslim is in the right because the alternative is unthinkable. The America hating left was faced with this question. Whom do we despise more, an archaic religion that insist on the murder of it's own women and children AND everyone else on the planet who is not a member, or George W. Bush? Their answer is clear, and sickening.

Freedom is overrated

The Redemptive Power of Hurricane Gustav

Once upon a time President George W. Bush was bored so he prayed real hard that death and destruction would visit some African-Americans. The Lord heard his prayers and was pleased so He sent hurricane Katrina to kill many ebony persons. President Bush rejoiced.

But all was not well.

Blacks and other liberals cried that George Bush was a meanie. President Bush pondered this in his heart but could not understand why drowning a bunch of African-Americans was a bad thing. Even so, the President wished to seek favor with those who hated him. He prayed to God once again, this time that he may be given an opportunity to save Blacks from peril and be praised for his benevolence.

God felt pity for the President and said unto Himself, "I will send hurricane Gustav so that George may show the liberals that he is ready, willing and able to protect blacks from harm." And the blacks and other liberals loved George Bush.

Election '08

Great News!

My sources in Denver have confirmed that massive amounts of Botox have so deadened the brain of Nasty Pelosi (D-umb) that she has accepted Ted Kennedy's(D-runk) offer to drive her home after the convention. If this is true, then Teddy is being afforded one last opportunity to finally do something right.

Changing the subject: Is it just my conspiritorial mind, or was Hillary sending a coded message to her supporters when she quoted Harriet Tubman's advice to "keep going"?

And ye shall be saved

“Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your division. That you come out of your isolation. That you move out of your comfort zones. That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage. Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual.” Michelle Obama

Billy Jack Lives

Remember this guy? For those of you under 40, this is Tom Laughlin playing Billy Jack in the movie he wrote and directed with his hippiechick wife Dolores, who played his love interest. The movie came out in 1971 when I was 10yrs old and to a 5th grader it was great, but by the time I reached the 6th grade even I could smell the stink of rancid cheese that permeated every scene. For those who have not seen it, here is a quick synopsis.

Billy Jack is a half Cherokee, ex-special forces, Hapkido trained badass, who lives on a reservation in Arizona,(Why a Cherokee would be living on a reservation in Arizona is beyond me but what do I know?) who always appears in the nick of time to save the members of the "Freedom School" from the evil businessmen and law enforcement officers of the local town. The "Freedom School" is populated by runaways and operated by a dried up female flower child with a face like a long neglected piece of leather. It's kind of like Steven Seagal as the Lone Ranger meets the Manson Family.

Anyway, the reason I brought this up is to say that not only is Billy Jack still alive, he is still saving hippies, pacifist and America haters from "The Man". His Presidential campaigns have mostly failed but have no fear, his blog has all the answers. He has a plan to stop all school shootings by installing tornado sirens that warn people so they can lock themselves in a closet. Why didn't I think of that? He exposes the evil Bush/Cheney " top secret" Pentagon plan to invade Iran. It's called "Operation Darius" but don't tell anyone I told you. He also lays out a peaceful exit strategy for Iraq that involves replacing American troops with Russian, Chinese, and French troops because those countries are the ones who REALLY own the Iraqi oil, and after all, the murderous muslims only hate American infidels.

His blog also promises to delve into spirituality, dreams, and " healing solutions", I can hardly wait. Don't let his rambling, repetitive, almost incoherent writing style fool you, Billy Jack is a hero for the ages. In order to start the healing, I think we should all stop what we're doing, take the hand of anyone near us, form a circle and sing "One Tin Soldier". Everybody now! Louder! That's it.

Someboby help, the Polar Bears are freezing!

Al Gore forgot to tell you that there is 30% more Arctic ice than at this time last year. He's probably too busy making millions on some kind of scam, so I'll tell you. The purple and red in these satellite photos illustrate the expanding ice in question. On the left, one year ago, less ice. On the right, now, more ice. Global warming works in mysterious ways. If you wish to know the details, go here.

Melting pot my eye!

Has anybody seen the commercial for the preservation of Ellis island? (I think that's what it is for but Richard Belzer gives me terminal remote control finger) This is to help commemorate the melting pot that America was. Immigration has always been a huge part of our country's heritage and population. All of us but the pure blood native Americans can trace their blood line to people from across an ocean. This country assimilated people from all over the world (mainly Europe) to form a great country. What in the world is this rant about? It is about the new concept of immigration. Instead of a melting pot we now are a nation which is a density tube. A density tube is simply a container where liquids of different densities are poured and they naturally separate as the picture illustrates. That is what our immigrants are doing now. They leave their countries physically but then try to recreate their homeland here. Our society is becoming more fragmented. America does have a culture and I believe that any immigrant should try to become part of that culture. Am I saying forget the good of their former homeland? Of course not. I am saying become an American. I fear this problem will only get worse until our country is one giant density tube of peoples who reform the countries they were so eager to leave. But HEY I COULD BE WRONG!

Komrade Kalashnikov's Krappy Karbine

Nothing says "shoot me, I'm a bad guy" like an AK. For over 60 years now, whenever some bug eater decides to try and kill American servicemen, they almost always do so with a Kalashnikov in one of it's many forms. For the last six decades no firearm has lain next to more bullet riddled bodies of the enemies of America, than this tin and plywood turd. At least in that respect it's #1. If any smallarm was going to stand as a symbol of evil this would be the one.

Note to readers: Occasionally, and for no apparent reason, I am compelled by forces that I don't understand, to show my contempt for the AK 47 and all of it's offspring. It's usually only a passing compulsion. Even now, as I type, the voices in my head are starting to quiet down. There, I'm feeling much better now.

That's going to leave a mark

If you're going to lose your head, try to be like this guy and at least be creative about it.

Hard Knocks

1/3 of us won't really be interested in the post but 1/3 of us rarely are. Watched a little of the HBO Hard Knocks and came to a conclusion that I concluded a long time ago. Jerry Jones thinks he is a coach. The owner does not belong in coaches meetings. He should have no say in who is playing and should sip martinis in the background. Yes the Cowboys may win this year, but mark my words, Al Davis junior will mke our beloved boys the Raider's junior. Buy players, hire coaches but quit trying to coach. Just my humble opinion.

Where is Blackjack Pershing When We need Him

I don't understand how any American can read this entire article and not be enraged, humiliated, and disgusted, all at the same time. As backward and corrupt as Mexico is, the "septic tank of North America" still manages to be violently arrogant. It is long past time to start teaching some old time Texas Ranger lessons on the border. When the trees down there are so thick with hanged Mexican drug dealers, soldiers, child molesters, and murderers that you can't swing a dead cat without hitting one, I'll bet our border problems go away.

Taylor KO Factor

John "Pondoro" Taylor was an adventurer and big game hunter in Africa during the early part of the 20th century. I don't know a great deal about him except that he wrote several books, was considered by some to be a bit of an exaggerator, and that he came up with his own formula for comparing the effectiveness of cartridges. While I don't put a great deal of stock in mathematical
formulas, they are fun to play with if you don't have any thing else to do. I personally like this one because it takes bullet diameter into consideration, as well as weight and velocity. It was designed for large caliber rifles but it works for handgun cartridges too. Like most of this stuff if it favors the cartridges that you already like, you will think it's a good formula and if it doesn't you'll think it's BS. At least that's how I do it. Here it is for a .45 ACP load, .4515(diameter in inches) X 230(weight in grains) X 850(velocity in feet per second) = 88268.25 divided by 7000= 12.60975, the higher the final number is, the more effective the load. Or so John "Pondoro" Taylor would have us believe.

In Praise of Precise Speech

I've always been a little fascinated by language. It's interesting, to me, that groups of people got together and agreed on what to call things, everything from a solid object to a transient feeling has a name. To my thinking, the mutually agreed on definitions of words is one of the cornerstones of civilization and therefore relatively important. Because of my interest in this subject, I am bothered by sloppy word usage, when I recognize it. When I recognize it, is the key phrase here. Not being the sharpest tool in the shed, or an English teacher, I am confident that I miss almost as much sloppy word usage as I commit. In spite of these shortcomings, I slog on, determined to better myself in this area.
Therein lies the subject of this post. Bettering ones self in this area is not a team activity. No matter how long you have known, been married to, been friends with, or been the father of someone, when you explain to them that decimate means to reduce by EXACTLY one tenth and what they meant was devastate, they're apt to take offense. No matter how well meaning your intentions or how noble your cause, to the people who don't care about such things, you are just an ass.
As a self acknowledged redneck and rube, there aren't all that many examples of this that drive me crazy, but there are a few. Obviously the decimate/devastate thing and also the usage of the word sociopath when psychopath is what is meant. I have a friend who will correct you every time you say theory when you should have said hypothesis, since he is right, I will accept his correction with gratitude until I learn. There are several more, but this is starting to bore even me.
The people who place little or no importance on precise speech will say "What's the big deal, as long as you know what I mean?" Maybe they are right maybe it's not a big deal. Except that people like Mario Coumo will try to redefine body armor as a firearm so that it will fall under the same restrictive laws that guns do. And don't forget the fine folks out in D.C. who decide it's ok to call Mr. Heller's pistol a "machinegun". Pistol, machine gun, it's all the same. What's the big deal?

Rig Count Update

Back in December of 07, I put up a post called "Energy Incongruity" where I talked about the number and distribution of drilling rigs in the U.S. Here is a quick update for anybody who is interested.

There are, currently 1957 drilling rigs working in the U.S., 1864 land based and 67 in the western Gulf of Mexico. Here they are, by state, in descending order for the major producing states. Texas-926, Oklahoma-207, Louisiana-187, Colorado-110, New Mexico-84, Wyoming-76, North Dakota-70, Arkansas-57, California-44, Alaska-7. (these numbers represent land based rigs only)

Keeping in mind that oil and gas are not evenly distributed, it is still somewhat striking that the largest state, Alaska(over twice as big as Texas), has only 7 rigs drilling. There is a LOT of oil and gas in Alaska but only 7 rigs. Hmmmm. Dare I say that the record oil prices have more to do with the liberal congress and the environazis than with a big oil/speculator conspiracy?

How about California, an historically productive area and the third largest state(over twice as big as Oklahoma), but only 44 rigs drilling. Could it be that the tender sensibilities of the beautiful people are offended by the sight of derricks and roughnecks? Could it be that they prefer that the oil that makes the fuel to power their jets and limos be extracted from flyover states where the hicks don't know any better?

I won't even go into how ALL of the offshore rigs are crammed into the western half of the Gulf of Mexico, leaving the eastern half and both coasts unexplored. Maybe we should install some type of identification machine at the pumps so that liberal democrat nutjobs have to pay $10 per gallon for their gas and sensible Conservatives pay $2 per gallon. I say let the people who are doing the crying do the paying.

Nasty Pelosi: Super Hero

" I'm trying to save the planet; I'm trying to save the planet."- Nancy Pelosi (D-ranged old whore) This woman seems to think that she is the star in her very own science fiction movie.

The arrogance required to believe that humans, i.e. ants in the afterbirth, are capable of destroying the planet is beyond that which even I possess. But even that arrogance pales by comparison to what is needed for a Botox filled old bimbo to think that she is the savior of Earth.
She is obviously planning on succeeding, otherwise she wouldn't bother pimping her new book, "Know Your Power", it's all about getting more women into leadership positions. I must admit, I don't fully understand the logic behind choosing leaders based solely on their plumbing, but it's probably okay since it appears we have decided to to pick one based solely on his pigmentation.
