Does John Edwards Wear a Skirt?
Oct 5, 2007 Political
Elizabeth Edwards has made her views known regarding Rush Limbaugh only she took a different approach than attacking him for what he did not say about our soldiers. Instead, she attacked Limbaugh’s draft status, which was 1-Y (changed to 4-F when 1-Y was done away with) in order to indirectly say that Limbaugh should not call anyone a phony soldier when he had what Edwards views as a phony deferment. I will not discuss what Limbaugh said because everyone with a brain knows exactly what he said and what was meant by it. The Democrats are using this non issue to make something out of nothing. The old saying goes that if you tell a lie long enough it is accepted as true. That is why Global Warming is a “settled” issue.
Rush Limbaugh had a legitimate deferment from military service. Regardless of what people think about it or what he could have done to make himself eligible, he was legitimately deferred by the military for a legitimate medical problem. It is amazing to me that Edwards would take issue with Limbaugh’s words considering the phony soldier her husband teamed up with during the last Presidential election. Let us look at her husband, who has been less than honest about his draft status. From what I can tell he registered and had a draft number but according to one site he should have been drafted and was not. I have to wonder why that is and why Ms. Edwards would bring up something that could end up in a backlash. The last thing Edwards needs is a group of people discussing his military record…
What I really don’t understand is why Elizabeth Edwards keeps injecting herself into issues. She is not running for office and her constant babble is not helpful. John Edwards already has a reputation as a girly man and having his wife speak out, many times to defend him, does not help with that image. Edwards gives the impression that he is a pampered little wuss who cannot fight his own battles. While I realize that in the Limbaugh remarks Elizabeth was not taking up for John I also realize that real men do not send their wives out to take up for them. I can just imagine John Edwards getting into an argument that leads to fisticuffs and before the first punch is thrown he runs in to get Elizabeth to fight for him.
This is America and the Edwards are free to say what they want but before they attack Limbaugh for what he said and before they twist his words, they should be prepared to demonstrate how much they have done for the troops. How much money has John Edwards raised for the military? What veteran organizations or causes has he helped out? I am willing to bet that Limbaugh has raised more money for the military than Edwards has raised for his campaign.
After watching this iteration of the John Edwards ego stroking campaign, I am convinced that he wears skirts at home while Elizabeth wears the pants.

Jesse Jackson Uses Racist Language – Again
Sep 19, 2007 Political
Jesse Jackson, the race baiting poverty pimp, accused Barack Obama of acting like he is white. Of course, as is always the case with this nimrod or Al Sharpton, Jackson claims not to remember saying that. I imagine if a white person, let’s call him Don Imus, was on the radio and said “you know, that Bill Clinton, he acted like a black person.” there would be cries all over as to what that meant. Are blacks somehow bad? Is it a bad thing to be acting black? How dare Imus, fire him.
Jackson gets away with this kind of crap all the time and he has taken B. Hussein Obama to task because of Jena LA where 6 black kids are in big trouble for beating the hell out of a white kid who had the audacity to hang a noose from a tree. The student was punished for hanging the noose and the black kids beat the hell out of him and now they face a long time in jail. Jackson, and other idiots like to equate the two offenses. All that white kid got was a suspension but those black kids might go to jail. Well, not to be the bearer of bad news, the white kid did not hang the black kid from the noose. If he had, then he would be in big trouble. If the black kids had not assaulted him, they would not be in trouble. This has nothing to do with the color of their skin.
Now, I happen to believe that it is a person’s right to hang a noose. If the school had a rule about that it is one thing but barring that rule, it is a person’s right to hang a noose. It is not a hate crime, it is freedom of speech. If a group of people, of any color, want to burn an American Flag, that act is considered protected speech, unless of course they burn someone else’s Flag or burn it where you are not allowed to burn things. If either of these two acts is some kind of hate crime it is burning the American Flag.
As for this kid and his noose, it is obvious that he was no threat to the black kids because they beat the hell out of him. Maybe we need some celebrities there to help everyone get along. We could send Eminem. No, he acts black. How about Kevin Federline? No, he acts black too. Just what is acting black Big Dog?
I don’t know, but according to Jesse Jackson it is the opposite of what Obama is doing because he acts white. Maybe Jesse means he acts white because he is married and has children, has stayed in his relationship, takes care of his kids, and has a well paying job, no arrest record and has not fathered children out of wedlock.
I don’t know but that might be something to look into. As for Jackson, I don’t want him to act black or white. I want him to act gold and be silent.

Gathering of Eagles Update
Sep 16, 2007 Military, Political
The Gathering of Eagles rally was held in DC yesterday to counter the Communists of the various anti-war groups who vowed to create civil disturbances in order to get their points across. The were able to do just that because more than 160 of them were arrested for disobeying the law, as if this is a surprise.
First things first. I arrived on Friday and met up with Kat from Cathouse Chat and Wild Bill from Passionate America. We enjoyed a good talk and I felt as if I had known them forever. Kat is absolutely lovely and quite charming. Bill is as humorous in person as on his blog and is a very pleasant person. I met Justin from Right on the Right on Saturday and I also spoke with Kit Lange from GOE and Euphoric Reality. I was fortunate enough to meet Michelle Malkin and Congressman Duncan Hunter. I also got to spend the weekend with my brother. We don’t get to spend a lot of time together so it was good to be able to do so.
The Eagles arrived and had a huge rally. I do not know ho many were present but we were a sea of American Flags and the patriotism was thick in the air. After our rally we lined the protest route of the bad guys and were able to exercise our free speech rights when they passed. They were misbehaved and had vile signs that insulted the armed forces and the President. There were a lot of them and I noticed that more than half looked like 14 or 15 year old kids. Some of them tried to reach across the barriers and act tough but the police, who did a stellar job, removed them and made them get back in the march.
After they went by we met up at the Capitol where the bad guys got unruly. The police had a huge presence and they did not want anyone crossing the barriers. The GOE folks were well behaved and did not cross the barriers. The bad guys, on the other hand, began crossing and were arrested. They kept up the pressure until more police arrived and things got uglier.
I heard that one of our guys got into some altercation with one of theirs and the bad guy jumped on the GOE member and bit him. Then, the bad guy was beaten pretty good. The GOE members present restored order by breaking them apart and getting them away from each other. Not long after that the police arrived and the bad guy jumped his target again and received another beating until the police pulled them apart. Names were taken but no one was arrested. I was not present but I received this story from several folks who were there.
The bad guys vowed to stay there all night and taunted the police by asking if they would be able to stick it out. Seems like the police were unaffected as they kept taking more of the moonbats into custody. I am not aware of any of our folks being arrested, unlike the folks who want the President arrested and impeached because they say he broke the law.
During their assault on the Capitol I walked through the crowd listening to them and watching them. It was interesting to see all the signs with slogans from the 60s (drop acid not bombs) and to realize that many aged hippies were living vicariously through their children. The smell of marijuana in their crowd gave credence to the idea that the apple does not fall far from the tree. I also noticed that those who had been so tough when they were protected by barricades and the police became timid and displayed no such toughness even though I was vastly outnumbered. It as interesting to speak with some of them as two humans without the animosity. A few of us have more in common than we do not and people can be civil when removed from the mentality of the mob which makes me wonder why they run with a group that hates America so much. I wonder if some even know how vile the groups are, especially the one young man who thanked me for my service. He would do much better to find a way to voice his opposition without hanging with people who are dedicated to our defeat.
I also spoke with the police and thanked them for their work. All of them appreciated that and indicated that they never have problems with our group but that the other folks (the bad guys) were vile and always caused problems. It was obvious that the police respect us.
The day was good and we accomplished our mission. I am sad to see that the other side cannot conduct itself in accordance with the law but I am not surprised.
UPDATE: This post includes a link to a story that has been updated and now indicates there were more than 180 arrests.
Update 2: I committed a terrible error and did not mention that I also ran into Skye at the Gathering. I do not know how I could forget to mention such a charming and beautiful young lady. Sorry love!.

Democrats and Their Words
Sep 14, 2007 Political
The anti war Hillary (as opposed to pro war Hillary) showed up to speak at General Petraeus (none of them speak to him) and she said that it would take “a willing suspension of disbelief†to accept the General’s assessment of the situation in Iraq. The General has been on the ground in Iraq for a bit longer than a photo op or two with the troops and he is a leader, unlike Hillary who people follow out of morbid curiosity. It is interesting that Rodham would question the veracity of the statements made by a hero while ignoring those things that really take “a willing suspension of disbelief” such as:
- “I did not have sex with that woman”
- that Hillary was unaware of Bill’s many affairs
- That hubby worked harder than anyone to get bin Laden (BTW Dems, where is the criticism in this regard?)
- That Hillary did not know where her billing records were
- That Hillary and Bill were victims in Whitewater
- That Hillary was not involved in illegal fund raising
This is just a small list of items that take “a willing suspension of disbelief.†The clincher is that Hillary has Sandy “Hot Pants” Berger as one of her foreign policy advisers. Now it takes a suspension of a lot of things to think that Berger, who pleaded guilty to taking classified material without authorization, would be a top adviser to anyone but another criminal, but I digress…
Bill Richardson participated in a debate in Florida hosted by a Spanish network. I wrote a post about what he said to the people at the debate , which was conducted in Spanish (Spanish questions were translated to English and the answers back to Spanish). In case you missed it, Richardson said:
“I’m disappointed today that 43 million Latinos in this country — for them not to hear one of their own speak Spanish, is unfortunate,†Richardson said. “In other words, Univision is promoting English-only in this debate.â€
However, in July he said this:
Speaking to a group of about 100 supporters before the forum, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson promoted his status as the first Hispanic to run for president.
“I’m not running as a Latino candidate. I’m running as an American governor who is enormously proud to be Latino,” he said to cheers. Fox News
If he is running as an American governor who is proud to be Latino then why was he disappointed that the Latinos would not get to hear “one of their own” speak Spanish. It sure seems that when he spoke to the Latino crowd he was running as a Latino.
These are just two that happened to pop up while I was searching for something so I figured I would show them in the appropriate light. Now it is your turn. Use the comments section to write about the Democrats you know who talk out of both sides of their face in short periods of time. Don’t give me some guy who was pro life 20 years ago and changed to pro abortion last year, people can change over time. Give me the ones who change back and forth depending upon where they are and to whom they are speaking.
Have at it.
A reminder that I will be in DC for the Operation Eagle Justice this weekend. I plan on taking a lot of pictures.

Review of the News
Sep 11, 2007 Political
This “man” wants to be President?
Cleveland Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich was the only member of Congress on Monday night to vote against a symbolic resolution to recognize September 11 as a day of remembrance, extend sympathies to those who lost their lives and their families and honor emergency workers and the U.S. armed forces. Cleveland.com
This is a member of the same Congress that votes on the symbolic naming of Post Offices and other buildings in honor of people who managed not to get hit crossing the street. He linked this symbolic vote to political crap dealing with the war. If this man cannot put politics aside for this kind of vote then he should not be elected dog catcher much less President of the United States. Couple this with his assertion, on Syrian TV, that the US was engaged in an illegal occupation and it is not hard to see why we question patriotism. Talk about helping the enemy. I guess he needed to shake things up because this little gnome looking cretin will never be elected President.
What will she do for money without any donors?
“To help ensure agsint(sic) this type of situation [illegal donations from Hsu] in the future, our campaign will also institute vigorous additional vetting procedures on our bundlers, including criminal background checks,” Wolfson added. “In any instances where a source of a bundler’s income is in question, the campaign will take affirmative steps to verify its origin.” Washington Post
The Clintons have always had criminals raising money for them. Hillary was involved in raising illegal campaign donations and will likely testify in the case against her. If they start doing background checks on the people who donate to her and they exclude the money from such people she will not have much cash coming in. Where will it come from now that Bill cannot sell secrets to China? Isn’t it amazing that the Hillary campaign would institute a background check on donors when she and her hubby could not pass one themselves? I notice that she is returning the money now that the illegality was made very public…
Does Israel lack testicular fortitude?
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert continues to oppose mounting a major IDF operation in the Gaza Strip or cutting off Israeli-supplied utilities to the region, despite Tuesday’s Kassam attack on the Zikim army base[that injured 69 Israeli soldiers], The Jerusalem Post has learned. Jerusalem Post
Olmert indicates that attacking Hamas in Gaza will be playing into its hands. I guess sitting around and letting them lob rockets into Israel is not playing into their desire to kill Jews. Perhaps the 69 soldiers injured will receive sympathy from the Islamic animals who attacked them. Perhaps if Israel ignored the whining of the UN and those who complain about disproportional responses and just leveled the area where Hamas is located then there would be no problem. Perhaps Israel could just tell Hamas and the UN that if one more rocket comes across the border then Israel will attack with everything it has and will not stop until every living thing ceases to be there will be a cessation of hostility by the Islamic terrorists. If not Israel can carry out its promise and then dare anyone else to screw with them.
Then again…
The Israel Air Force jets that allegedly infiltrated Syrian airspace early last Thursday apparently bombed an Iranian arms shipment that was being transferred to Hizbullah, CNN reported Tuesday.
A ground operation may also have been part of the foray, according to the network. Neither Jerusalem nor Damascus have confirmed the report. But Damascus has denied the presence of any Israeli ground forces on its territory.Jerusalem Post
Iran and Syria have been supplying the terrorists with arms despite their denials. They arm these filthy animal brothers and then when Israel bombs the hell out of them they cry like a sissy. Israel has had about enough especially when the UN sides with the terrorists and opposes anything Israel does. The UN has done nothing about the arms shipments so Israel took matters into its own hands. They bombed a shipment of arms and, of course, the first thing that Syria does is cry that their airspace was violated. I think Israel should go in there more often to ensure the arms are not getting into the hands of those who would use them against that country.
Perhaps there is hope after all…
