General Petraeus Draws Moonbats to DC

Sep 10, 2007 Military

In watching the report of General Petraeus one things strikes me about the two sides with regard to this war. The people who oppose this war were at the hearing and they stood up screaming and interrupting the process. All those who were disruptive were removed and those who remained were told they would be prosecuted if they disrupted the proceedings.

Congressman Ike Skelton, a Democrat, has been fair with regard to his treatment of the General and the Ambassador and he has been no nonsense with regard to handling those who oppose the war by disrupting this hearing. I appreciate this guy and the way he has approached this process.

I also note that those who disrupted the process were all anti war people like the two nut jobs who represented Code Pink. The gathering of Eagles has thousands of people in DC for this hearing and none of them have been escorted from the building and none would have even if the General stated that we needed to come home yesterday. That is the difference between those who have served or have family members and friends who serve. We respect the process and we act like professionals.

This is not to say that we cannot mix it up with the anti war crowd if needed but there is a time and place for everything. Many, many more of us will be in DC on the 15th for Operation Eagle Justice. We will counter the moonbats who show up with their Communist propaganda and expect the world to listen to them without question.

The silent majority is silent no longer.

Eagles Up!

Senators Want Taxpayers to Bail Out Mortgage Problems

Sep 9, 2007 Uncategorized

Christopher Dodd and Charles Schumer want the White House to take action in regards to the sinking sub-prime mortgage market. Sub-prime mortgages are ones that people who do not qualify for regular mortgages get. These mortgages are risky (as we are seeing now) and in some cases they involve people who are not very good at handling their finances and businesses that have deceptive practices. Senators Dodd and Schumer seem to think that because people did not have sense in their finances they should be bailed out.

I think it is wrong and a gross misuse of taxpayer money to bail out people or businesses (Chrysler should have been allowed to sink). The Congress has no authority to spend our money fixing the personal financial mistakes that people have made. If these folks are unable to pay their loans then they should sell their houses or they should take one of the jobs Americans are not willing to do as a second or third job to pay their bills. It is not the responsibility of the taxpayer to bail out people who cannot take care of their finances just as it is not the responsibility of the taxpayer to pay for the health care for others or to provide just about anything that people are responsible for providing for themselves.

It is a matter of personal responsibility but Dodd and Schumer are showing us once again that the Democratic Party believes it is its job to be a nanny to everyone and that people should not be held accountable for their decisions. It is indeed unfortunate that these two moronic Senators feel that the government is supposed to care for us all.

We need fewer people in government and we need 535 new ones in Congress. As for the folks who are having problems with their mortgages, take a little responsibility and work it out.

CIA Held Key; Bush Told Truth, Wilson Lied

Sep 8, 2007 Uncategorized

During a State of the Union Address President Bush uttered the now famous sixteen words that critics have insisted showed he exaggerated his case for going to war with Iraq. Those words; “The British Government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa” have been a focal point for those on the left who claim that Bush lied us into war. The fact is, President Bush did not say that Iraq actually had uranium, he only stated that they tried to obtain it. This information came from several intelligence agencies but it seems that in this matter only one source was considered reliable and that source was Joe Wilson.

Joe Wilson, a deeply partisan man, was recommended by his CIA agent wife for a trip to Niger to investigate the claims. Joe Wilson went to Niger, sipped some Mint Julep tea and then wrote a report stating that Iraq did not try to get uranium and that the administration lied about it. This led to a firestorm when the administration investigated Wilson after he lied by stating that the Vice President had sent him on the trip. In the process it was learned that his wife sent him and that she was an employee of the CIA. Wilson and his wife, Plame cried foul and said her supposedly covert status had been compromised, a “crime” for which no one has ever been convicted (Libby was found guilty of perjury, not outing Plame). The Washington Post had this to say about Wilson’s report:

Wilson’s central assertion — disputing President Bush’s 2003 State of the Union claim that Iraq was seeking nuclear material in Niger — has been validated by postwar weapons inspections. And his charge that the administration exaggerated the threat posed by Iraq has proved potent.

Democrats are in Attack Mode

Sep 6, 2007 Uncategorized

It was obvious from the moment that word started spreading that the troop surge was working that Democrats needed a way to defeat and lessen any good news that might come from Iraq. They have spent a lot of energy in helping the enemy and in trying to paint all things Iraq as bad. They put a lot of stake in the idea that the surge would not work and that they could then get what they wanted with regard to de-funding our troops and bringing them home. They lack the testicular fortitude to just come out and do it without a reason because then they would look weaker on national security than they already do.

Democrats agreed to the surge and agreed to let General Petraeus give a report on the effort before they took up the issue again. When the news from Iraq began to get better and it looked like the surge was working Democrats began to insist that it was not working and that they needed to do something right now, rather than wait to the agreed upon time. Since they got nowhere with that (and since they did not want to interrupt their month long vacation) they shelved it. During the time they have been out of session they, and their minions in the media, have been finding other ways to discredit the effort. They have all begun dissing the report before it has even been given. Idiots like Stolz have declared it a failure and John Kerry (he served in Vietnam) chimed in with his assertion that the surge had failed. The Democrats are in full attack mode and they need desperately to make this look like a failure no matter what because a success would be a bad thing for them. They have already publicly admitted that if the surge is a success it will be a bad thing for their party. As Rush says, if it is good for America, it is bad for the Democrats.

The Democrats have now resorted to calling the report the “Bush Report” in an effort to get their drones, like the boot lickers at the Daily Kos, chiming in unison in hopes that if it is repeated enough people will believe it. The Democrats are basically calling into question the integrity of a four star general officer in the Army, a man who knows better than any of the cut and run Democrats, how to fight an insurgency. The Democrats know no honor and when it comes to their quest for power and their desire for America to lose they will tarnish the good name of anyone, including highly decorated officers, in order to achieve their goals.

They agreed to a time line for the surge and the report and they tried to break it. They declared the surge a failure very early on in order to diminish the positive outcomes we have experienced and now they are questioning the integrity of the military officer who will deliver the report. They have no shame and they need to know our displeasure.

I will be in DC next week with the Gathering of Eagles for Operation Eagle Justice where tens of thousands of us will make our feelings known about the war and the cut and run Democrats who are determined to give our enemies a victory. We will be heard and there will be no doubt in the minds of the people in Congress that we are there and what we expect. There will also be no doubt in the minds of the anti war crowd that they no longer speak without opposition. We told them we were coming in March and then we showed them and they cowered. We showed them time and again and watched as Sheehan ran for cover and we will show them next week that we are here to stay and that they are no longer the voice of America.

I always like these events. It is fun to watch the anti war zealots walk around with their tails between their legs when they realize that they no longer have the market on demonstrations. They seem to lose their toughness when the people they deride are there face to face.

Helping Larry Craig Stay in Office Without Hurting Republicans

Sep 5, 2007 Uncategorized

I piped in on the Larry Craig issue when the story broke and I indicated that the people of his state should have the say in whether he stays or goes. This was all before he made the announcement that he would resign so it appeared to be a moot point. Now there is word that he might stay in the Senate and run for reelection next year. This is causing a lot of grief among Republicans who do not need any more scandals to hurt them. It seems that someone forgot to tell these guys that they are viewed under a different microscope than their comrades on the left side of the aisle.

In any event, I have decided that I want to help Larry Craig stay in office but I want to do so without hurting the Republican Party so I have come up with an idea that will allow him to stay in and cause little damage to the right. Larry Craig should just change his party affiliation to Democrat. The Democrats are the so called party of tolerance and they would be happy to have him. As a matter of fact, as soon as he changes parties his behavior will no longer be suspect. He can hang out in some of the grandest toilets in the world tapping his toes and humming…

This is a win, win situation. Republicans can get rid of him and Democrats can increase their majority a little. They need the help because they are all getting old and dying off and since so many of them abort their kids there will not be enough left to run for anything in the future. Republicans can use the time to regroup and get their acts together. Senator David Vitter can rescue his political career by doing the same thing. His number will be found in the phone book of a prostitute so what a better time than now to join the Democrats. When Dick Morris was working with the Clintons, he had a prostitute and it did him no harm. Clinton had a tart and it did him little harm. In fact, the party loves him even more for being so modern (if that had been my daughter I’d have kicked his bumpkin ass). Hell, Ted Kennedy was trying to have sex with a woman who was not his wife and ended up killing her and he has been in office for 45 years!!. Moving to the Democratic Party will be a great career move for these two and it will immediately absolve them of their sins.

Now I realize that Craig and Vitter might have some apprehensions about joining the left but they should just let go. They already did stupid things and got caught so it is not like they can run around and tout family values and expect people to believe them. If they become Democrats, on the other hand, they can claim to be for family values and people will accept that faster than an ILLEGAL forges documents. They can do anything they want and it will be accepted and in the unlikely event it is not, they can claim it is for the children and get a pass.

Since Democrats applaud their members who have homosexual sex with underage pages Mark Foley could have saved his career and received a standing ovation just by switching to the Democratic Party. He could have openly expressed his gayness, French kissed Barney Frank and then romped through the dorm with male pages. He should have asked me for advice before he resigned so quickly.

I realize there are other opinions on this and there are some concerns as well. First of all, these guys moving to the left will give that side a larger majority. It really does not matter because they are all basically the same and, as I mentioned earlier, the left is killing itself off. My friends over at Webloggin think we do not need the distraction and that Craig should go. My plan will solve this quickly. Kathryn Jean Lopez of NRO says Larry Craig can stay if Arlen Specter resigns. This is an interesting prospect and one that sounds good. I wanted that cretin Specter out of office the last time he was up for reelection but the President backed him instead of a true Conservative (another point of contention I have with the President). This however, will not solve the Craig issue. Specter will be gone but Craig will still be a black mark to the right. No, I am firmly convinced that Craig needs to change his party affiliation for the good of the party and to save his career.

Of course, Craig could just resign and do as I heard someone on the radio suggest. Get his own reality show and call it “Stall Tactics.”
