Army officers brought down a hailstorm of political correctness by asking this question: “What does the west do if the current strategy of deterring terrorism fails? Their chilling, but logical conclusion: before Islam jihad destroys us, destroy the Islamic world. Read the rest of this entry »

Brainwashed young minds–”rights education” |
05/11/2012 @ 9:08am No Comments » |
I am sure these kids suing the federal government to stop “global warming” are sincere. These days, being sincere replaces being wise. ”Rights education” replaced civics. Instead of learning American history, they learned America’s “abuses.” Instead of learning business, they learned the evils of “corporatism.” Instead of honing reasoning and oratory skill in debate classes, they stage mock trials—as a warmup to exactly these kinds of ridiculous lawsuits.
And these kids think they know something.
The rights education movement always intended to raise a generation of community organizers.

506th Infantry Reunion |
05/9/2012 @ 6:24pm No Comments » |
It’s hard to convey how good it was to:
–see many of the battalion officers whom I had not seen in 40 years, including our battalion commander, Colonel John Sobraske;
–spend time with active duty troops from today’s 506th Infantry Regiment, once again part of the 101st Airborne Division, including the current brigade commander and command sergeant major who generously traveled from Fort Campbell to Fort Benning to celebrate with us;
–check old sites at Fort Benning where I sweated, ran, did push-ups, and otherwise trained in 1972, and 1973;
–just spend some time in the company of fine soldiers, young and used-to-be young.
One keynote speaker was a 6-tour Vietnam veteran and retired major, captured on his last tour. After a couple of escape attempts, he got re-captured, but was released in 1973. Veterans ranged from World War II to Afghanistan.
Almost a spiritual experience, to rally there at Fort Beginning School for Boys: Fort Benning, Georgia, the home of the US Army Infantry.
Citizens: You have a fine army out there. I pray we merit them.

Grim Reminder of Their Intentions |

On this day, May 8, in 2004, a US Army patrol found Nick Berg’s beheaded body in Baghdad.
And, they intend the same for you and yours.

Another gun-ban zone falls: Virginia parks |
05/2/2012 @ 2:54pm 2 Comments » |
Turns out Virginia has allowed guns in parks for a long time. How about that? Who would have known? I never heard massive gunfire from our neighbor to the north. There is no stream of ambulances pouring across the border with the shot-up Virginians being evacuated for treatment. Now, to those others who think gun-ban zones keep them safe….

Islamic terrorists discuss “the future” |
05/1/2012 @ 4:21pm No Comments » |
I wrote two books about what I would do, if I were them. The worst and most plausible I could think of, I would not write about. As few as three could put it together in a few days; total cost under $1,000, maybe as low as $100. No real weapons required. Mass video-shock value. Easily repeatable. Works in low-security locations just as well as in places where security is hot. No suicide required. Biggest threat: the armed citizen, so just pick a demographic not well-armed.
As the cover of Arcturus warns, “Terrorists are here.” They stay up late at night, dreaming up new ways to slaughter western infidels. They seem fixated on New York, London, and “the big hit.”
But, it looks like the value of the low-cost, low-tech strike is not lost on them. I think the “hijack a cruise ship” idea suffers too many intricacies, but they are getting there.
One thing for sure: they can count on European cruise ships and sea-going ferries being full of unarmed passengers (That is in Amazon Avenger).
Boatloads of unarmed victim-passengers here? Not so much. Unless touring New York or Chicago.

EPA Administrator Sacrificed Over “Crucify” Comment |
05/1/2012 @ 3:57pm No Comments » |
I should create a new blog-post category: “Marxists Among Us.” Despite all of their back-tracking, and insistence that what he said did not really mean what he said, Al Armendariz revealed exactly that Marxist philosophy that so drives this administration’s time at the executive desk of our government.
His timing was bad: election year, price of gas up, economy down. In his anti-business fervor, he believed his administration’s “hate Exxon” propaganda. The rest of us out here appreciate the automobile. We are not prone to shuffle obediently onto government trains to go live in high-rise apartments in government-planned, massive urban enclaves and take trains and buses everywhere.
What irony about who got made into an example! You may see yourself as the all-powerful Romans taking no prisoners, but we barbarians are at your gates, fool.
Al: You made the “Idiocracy Report.” The crucifixion backfired.

Susie’s Lemonade: What Really Happened |
04/30/2012 @ 10:45am 3 Comments » |
I got a laugh this morning out of a comment by “mikee” to a Say Uncle post captioned “Kids love capitalism.” Uncle’s wine-making and his daughter’s free-enterprise inquiry reminded me of the original “Susie’s Lemonade Stand” Verizon commercial.
That is one of marketing’s truly great ads. Verizon capitalized on the ad’s success, and we all delight to watch Susie build her business, provide jobs to her friends, and startle her dad with her success. But, what really happened there on Susie’s street? Read the rest of this entry »

Gun-carrying hero arrested! |
04/27/2012 @ 5:23pm No Comments » |
Oh, wait. Stop. Strike that. This armed citizen who drew his firearm to stop a crazy slasher from knifing other shoppers, saved people in Salt Lake City—not in Chicago or New York where he would have been arrested.
Thanks, Instapundit, for the heads up.
