Vile, Putrid Nonsense! US Military Equal’s Terrorist Mercenaries

If you are sick and tired of the Leftist agenda on the campuses of Academia in the US, then you will really want to grab something to chew on whilst you read the following. I ran across this at the Little Green Footballs site and my blood pressure spiked!

If you are a red-blooded American, you’d better sit down before you read this!

If you dare… go to:

Reading such claptrap makes me wonder if it isn’t about time we pressed the federal government to cut off funds to academia. I mean… they can go on teaching their unadulterated crap… but not on our dime! If a student opts to attend such a university, he, or she can do it without federally backed scholarships and without grants of money from the federal coffers.

I, for one, am so incredibly fed-up with the “hate America crowd”, including the Democrat Party and their support of such bovine scatology, that I want to puke!

If there was even the tiniest bit of doubt in your mind that America is on the decline, then this should give you pause and… cause you to rethink your position.

It is reports of this type which make me yearn for judges such as that depicted in Edward Hale’s 1863 novel” Man without a Country”. If you recall the story, Philip Nolan is on trial for treason. During the proceedings, a flustered Nolan exclaims, "Damn the United States! I wish I may never hear of the United States again!" The judge solemnly grants Nolan his "wish," sentencing him to spend the rest of his life on a Navy vessel, where no one will ever be permitted to mention the United States in his presence, and from which he will never be allowed to return to his native soil. Thus is Nolan's fate sealed for the next 60 years. He dies aboard a US ship out of site of the US mainland.

Where is that judge when we need a slew of them??? Heck, I’d even vote to raise taxes… if the money was ear-marked to build ships to hold these “Hate America people” in international waters for the remainder of their lives.

This is NOT the America so many young Americans gave their lives defending. This is NOT the America our forefathers founded and this is NOTthe America the Greatest Generation risked everything to defend and secure. I don’t recognize what America has become. We have gone from being a glittering jewel of freedom and liberty to a glittering jewel of ignorance, self-indulgence, and pathos.

Pitiful! Just pitiful!

Global Warming? Journalism? Don’t Make Me Laugh! ... by Alan Caruba

Global Warming? Journalism? Don’t Make Me Laugh!
By Alan Caruba

_____________________

As a very young man, fresh out of college and the army in the mid-1960’s, I found myself employed as a rookie reporter on a weekly newspaper in New Jersey. I had never taken a course in journalism in my life, but I could write. The managing editor of the newspaper group that serviced a number of communities taught me all I ever needed to know about journalism. He taught me to be skeptical of everything and everyone.

Not distrustful. Skeptical. People will tell you the truth they believe or want you to believe. They may be wrong. Or they may be deceitful. There’s a difference. However, when error and deceit combine, there is a purpose, an agenda, and it exists, as often as not, to acquire wealth and power despite the harm it will leave in its wake.

At the heart of what is wrong with journalism today is that legions of journalists will stand shoulder to shoulder for the sole purpose of deriding any “global warming skeptic” rather than wonder for a second how the “news” of a coming Ice Age in the 1970s became the “news” of Global Warming in the 1980s.

I am reminded of this daily as I read newspapers and news magazines in which various reporters blithely and deliberately inform the reader that all questions regarding the existence of global warming have been answered, that the science is beyond doubt, and that the cause is the production of greenhouse gases, largely from industry, transportation, and other human activities.

This is not merely an error. It is a complete deception the journalists have joined. They have ceased to be skeptical. They want you to stop being skeptical despite all evidence to the contrary.

“Global Warming, as we think we know it, doesn’t exist,” says Dr. Timothy Ball. He has Ph.D. in climatology, having earned his degree from the University of London, England, and taught for many years at the University of Winnipeg. A Google search of his name turns up a plethora of posts attacking him, always a sure sign that the Greens feel threatened by an outspoken scientist. The quote below explains why:

“Believe it or not, Global Warming is not due to human contribution of Carbon Dioxide (CO2). This in fact is the greatest deception in the history of science.”

Dr. Ball is hardly alone in his views. Dr. Richard Lindzen, an atmospheric physicist and a professor of meteorology at MIT, as well as a member of the National Academy of Science, has said of Global Warming that, “the consensus was reached before the research had even begun.”

Increasingly, not just climate scientists, but people in leadership positions around the world have joined in rebuking the Global Warming hoax. Czech President Vaclav Klaus is only the most recent, joining Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper who, in 2006, received a letter from sixty prominent scientists expressing opposition to the theory of Global Warming. The list is growing as other scientists in France, Denmark and around the world speak up.

There is something quite horrible about the complete failure of America’s journalists to even acknowledge there might be something terribly wrong about the theory of Global Warming. So far the published science that purports to support the theory has been severely challenged and even disproved to the point of having deliberately falsified data.

Too many journalists have remained steadfast to this greatest hoax of our times, publishing the most astonishing nonsense about the North Pole melting or all the polar bears disappearing. Anything can be attributed to Global Warming, but the premise of a rapidly warming Earth is baseless. The Earth warmed barely one degree Fahrenheit from 1850 to 1950 and there is no evidence of further warming.

Anyone who challenges the “truth” of the global warming charlatans is demonized and compared to Holocaust deniers. Others are routinely accused of being in the pay of corporate interests. My own background as a public relations counselor has been cited as “proof” that I cannot be trusted. However, in nine years of writing a weekly commentary, my credibility would be in shreds if my facts were wrong.

Is this new generation of journalists indifferent to the truth? Do they arrive at their job imbued with a mission to save the world? Do they believe that inconvenient facts can and should be ignored? This is not journalism. It is advocacy. The former belongs in the news columns, the latter on the editorial and opinion pages.

For the week leading up to and following the recent release of the United Nations climate report summary, the front pages of America’s newspapers proclaimed that Global Warming was real, millions would die from starvation, and the fresh water resources of the world would go dry by 2080.

The final report is not due out for months and, like previous reports, what “science” is cited to support this balderdash will be thoroughly encumbered with words like “could”, “may”, “might”, “is believed”, or “is predicted.” These are mushy words that scientists abhor. They want proof.

The final report will actually be altered to reflect the initial summary. That is not science. It is propaganda.

We look to journalists to present facts as accurately and dispassionately as possible. When they tell you the Earth is doomed, look for an alternative source of information.

MORE USless Dollar Coins!

Back on December the 14th of 2005, I posted the article below. Today the US Government released those dreaded new presidential dollar coins on the US Public. I truly hope the budget at Treasury has enough residual to lease more warehouses to store those uncirculated coins along side the Susan B, Anthony and Sacagawea duds! By the way, the new coins released today are the same size and color as the Sacagawea coins. Longstreet

***************************************
Oh, No! More Dollar Coins!

The US Treasury is about to find themselves in need of more storage space for dollar coins. Most of the Susan B. Anthony dollar coins, and the Sacagawea dollar coins, are stacked up in warehouses the Treasury Department leases for that purpose.

The US public has told the US government, flat out, twice now, that we do not want, nor will we accept a dollar coin for any purpose other than as a collector’s item. But, the airheads in Congress and the Treasury Department still foist the cussed things on us.

Now comes word that in 2007 the Treasury Department will release a whole new set of dollar coins. These coins will have the images of the 37 dead Presidents of the United States on them.

Reports say that Treasury plans to release the dollar coins much as they did the 50 state quarters, four at a time, until all the Presidents are used up. Again, collectors will snap them up and citizens will get them to give as gifts to grand children, and such, and that will be it. As soon as that particular market is flooded with dollar coins the remainder will need space for storage alongside the other dumb ideas to come out of Treasury and the Congress.

Look, men carry coins in their pockets. It is not uncommon for a man to get almost a pound of coins in his pocket in a matter of a few days. It’s heavy. It’s a pain to carry that extra weight around. Does the government really think men are going to add to the pocket burden with a dollar coin? Its nuts!

I’ll be returning those coins back to checkout clerks, and banks, as soon as I come into possession of them. I’d rather have quarters than a single dollar coin in my pockets. When possible, I’ll ask for a dollar bill in return.

These new dollar coins signals an attempt, in the not too distant future, to retire the one-dollar bill. I sincerely hope that retirement of the one-dollar bill will be vigorously protested by the American public.

Conservatives Have No Candidate as America Continues her Decline!

Conservatives Have No Candidate as America continues her Decline!

_______________________
I’m a conservative. That comes first BEFORE my political party.

Having said that… I ask myself… why is Rudy Giuliani running for President? Now, lets be crystal clear about this… Rudy has about as much chance of winning the Presidency as I do of rolling a snowball clear across hell in the middle of August! The same thing goes for Romney and McCain.

The thing is… I like Rudy… but… I won’t vote for him! I can’t. Look, Rudy has way too many millstones hanging around his neck for Southerners to support him. He’s pro-choice, pro-gay, pro-gun control, married three times, he’s from the northeast, and NOBODY down here has a name like Giuliani! We’re Scot-Irish and German. Well, the bulk of us are, anyway.

Looking at Romney, he hasn’t a prayer of getting the Southern vote. He’s Mormon. The fundamentalists still think of the Mormon Church as a cult. Some suggest it is not even a Christian cult. I have a Mormon temple some 1/2-mile from where I am sitting as I write this. Then… there is the fact that he is a northeastern conservative, which equates with a Southern liberal! What you folks in the northeastern part of US think of as a conservative, down here, they are a flat-out liberal. That’s where Romney is pigeonholed. And, then he is from the Northeast. There is still a lot of bitter feelings toward the northeastern states, down south, over the recent unpleasantness called the Civil War. Some of the worst atrocities committed upon the people of the South were from northeasterners. I mean… it’s only been 143 years! That’s not nearly enough time for Southerners to get over their dislike of northeasterners.

Now McCain: What’s left to say. He’s unelectable. Period! His birthday is August 29th, 1936. (I looked it up.) Should he win the election, he would be 72 years old on Inauguration Day. 4 years later he’d be 76 years old. Add another 4 years and … well… you can do the math. Add to that the fact that many conservatives have not forgotten the rumors from 2000 that intimated McCain might be mentally unstable. That is a HUGE no-no! And then there is his remark about the Confederate Battle Flag and my native state of South Carolina. He would not have angered southerners as much had he spat in our faces!

I have to assume you can see the problem the GOP is going to have getting a candidate to first base in the South. It makes no difference if the GOP candidate wins the primaries, he will lose in the General Election without the support of the Southern states. Don’t think so? Ask John Kerry!

And then there is Newt! If Newt wants to be President, he’d better say so. This pussyfooting around about announcing, or NOT announcing, as a candidate for the Presidency, has gotten old, quickly! We want to know, and we want to know NOW. Newt can carry the South. The North, northeast, and the West will certainly NOT vote for him, so it would be a near thing. But the fact of the matter is… Newt will make a better showing, even if he loses, than will any of the other announced GOP candidates.

It has become apparent, since last November, that the GOP, and the RNC, have learned nothing from the old fashioned “ass-whooping” they took. Those who voted did so not so much FOR the Democrats as AGAINST Republicans. Conservatives on the Internet had been telling the GOP that Conservatives were not going to support them in November of 2006. They failed to listen… and it cost them their majority in Congress. Now, I’m here to tell you that unless the GOP listens now, about the presidential candidates, the GOP is going to LOSE the office of President to the Democrats next year! Probably to the Hillary/Obama ticket.

As eventually happens to all great Republics, America has reached her Zenith and is today in a state of decline. Our best days are behind us. Diversity, Tolerance, Multiculturalism, Political Correctness, and the Feminization of the country, acted together to assassinate the once great, and once powerful, United States of America. You may disagree. It doesn’t matter. It remains the truth whether you choose to believe it or not. In fact America’s loss of the ability to look at itself in the mirror and make the necessary corrections for fear of offending some other country, some other race, some other religion, etc, was, and is, the decay which ate away the county’s spine. It neutered America.

Our two major political parties have offered us nothing to choose from but mediocre candidates for so long we have come to accept mediocrity as the norm. But then our political parties have grown so close that it is difficult to tell one from the other, anymore.

Not to worry! We’ll have a new government before too long. Mosques on every corner, Minarets gracing the skyline of our towns and cities will soon be the New Muslim America.

When history is re-written this time, no vestiges of what was once the “shining city on a hill” will remain. America will not even be a memory.

Americans no longer care. Since the 1960’s it has just gotten to be too difficult to maintain Freedom. We have two generations now who have little or no knowledge of who they, as Americans, are. They have lost their identity. They don’t know they owe allegiance to America and, as a result, they show none. The only state supported church in the country, The Public Schools, has taught a couple of generatrions of Americans that America is just another country and has very little value. It's ONLY value is as a member of the globalist community. The US Constitution is now second to the UN.

If you have ever seen a once powerful, muscular, man eaten away by cancer, that is the America of today.

Conservatives in America offer the only hope of a recovery. And those same conservatives have been marginalized by the America’s lack of will power. The political party, which was home to those who could save America, no longer wants them... or their council.

Our enemies gather and wait. It has become a deathwatch and they know it. America herself is in deep denial.

Subconsciously, Americans have decided that slavery is much preferable to freedom. Slavery requires nothing, much. The slavemaster takes care of everything.

Move over Rome. America is joining you on the Ash Heap of History!

The Trouble with Peace... by Alan Caruba

The Trouble with Peace
By Alan Caruba

____________________

A lot of people, attributing the current conflicts in the Middle East to either religion or oil, believe they don’t really have a dog in the fight. What cannot be ignored however is that a paroxysm of religious strife has broken out in the Middle East and it is exporting death and terror in the name of Allah.

Still angry over the defeat in 732 A.D. at Poitiers, France that stopped their northward conquest of Europe and the Crusades that followed from 1095 to 1291, the Arabs of the Middle East have taken the temperature of the West today and concluded that it’s time for a big comeback. Either through birthrates in Europe or the use of terror from Bali to Manhattan, they have concluded it’s time to try once again to be the ones who run the world.

Considering how little previous generations of these Arabs or Islam have contributed to modern civilization this seems astonishingly arrogant. The modern world is entirely the creation of the West.

The West of today, wanting only to purchase the latest ingenious new gadget and wishing to avoid warfare at all costs, cannot ignore a declared war even if it wants to.

The “neocons” have been disgraced and some have been driven from office. The President has been chastised by the loss of his party’s power in Congress and the Democrat leadership is in full cry to abandon the war in Iraq.

In blunt terms, it cannot be done. We live our lives forward, not retreating into the past. As such, men who we entrust with power have no choice but to exercise it today with the hope it will work out tomorrow.

Tomorrow, in the case of the Middle East, is going to be a very long time. It operates out of a medieval mentality, a tribal allegiance, and a religion that has not changed since its inception in the seventh century. We are not dealing with modern men even if they employ modern technology.

America wants to rest from a war it did not start and wants to end. We have discovered that we need to build up our troop strength. The reluctance of several previous presidents to engage the enemy has cost us 3,000 American lives on 9-11 and quite a few in the years leading up to it.

We have reached a point where we continue to ignore the millions of Mexicans and others from south of the border who have literally been invading our nation for years. We’re Americans. We want to buy a new car, a flat-screen television, a worldwide warehouse of stuff! Why won't they leave us alone?

We are tired of hearing and reading bad news out of Iraq because our news media will not give us any good news. We’re Americans. We want and expect a happy ending. Just like in the movies, but this isn’t the movies. It’s realtime, real people, it’s real life and death.

Iraq, like the whole of the Middle East is just one giant sinkhole of all our expectations. So we want to leave, but we can’t because, if we do, some astonishingly evil people might end up in charge. They cut off people’s heads. They have been doing this since the days of Mohammed, the self-proclaimed final prophet of God.

The Jews of Israel understand this like no other people on Earth and, yes, they too are weary of the Arabs who surround them, howling for their blood just as they howl for ours every time they shout “Death to America! Death to Israel!

It was only the decisive victories in war that protected Israel, the lone Western outpost in the Middle East. The last big one was the 1967 Six-Day War against Egypt. Since then, guerrilla wars of attrition have been the choice of battle by the Palestinians. The peace accord that returned the Sinai to Egypt is seen as a great “victory” by that nation and it occasioned the “Intifada” by Arafat’s Palestinians.

After a sixteen-year occupation of southern Lebanon to deter the rockets of Hezbollah, the Israeli withdrawal in 2000 led directly to the war of 2006. The withdrawal from Gaza in 2005 has seen an increase of rocketing from that territory and a civil war between Fatah and Hamas to determine which group leads the destruction of Israel.

Any withdrawal from combat will be hailed as yet another “victory” for our enemies. Realistically, we are likely to move troops to safer ground, which means the Kurdish region and border nations such as Kuwait.

That move is likely to be followed by a bloodbath between the Shiites, the majority sect in Iraq and Iran, and the Sunnis, the majority sect in the rest of the billion-plus world of Islam. It doesn’t matter whose side we take or if we take no side. Humanitarian behavior is not high on the list of priorities for Arabs, whether they are Islamists or not.

The difficulty of achieving peace is that it requires everyone to agree to it. Wars, whether initiated by a religion or the naked desire to acquire land, resources, and power are still wars. Winners are determined by who is willing to resist and, beyond that, to destroy the will of the enemy to continue.

Failure, for America, Israel, and the West is literally not an option. Like the canary in the coalmine, what happens to Israel will happen to us.

The great empire of Rome discovered what happens when citizens do not want to defend what they have. They began to rely on armies made up increasingly of people they called barbarians. Tired of endless conquest and occupation, the citizens of Rome discovered one day those barbarians were at their gates. They sacked Rome. The Dark Ages followed.

I do not know what the President will do in these final two years of office, but if George W. Bush decides to reduce large portions of Baghdad to rubble or obliterate big chunks of Iran, history will likely say he was right to do so.
