"Let's Roll"

David beamer has already seen the new movie, "United 93", about the attacks of September 11, 2001. Mr. Beamer is the father of Todd Beamer, a passenger on United Airlines Flight 93. He wrote an opinion piece about the movie in the Wall Street Journal. "The passengers and crew of United 93 had the blessed opportunity to understand the nature of the attack and to launch a counterattack against the enemy. This was our first successful counterattack in our homeland in this new global war--World War III." Mr. Beamer thinks we should all go and see this movie. "I encourage my fellow Americans and free people everywhere to see "United 93." Be reminded of our very real enemy. Be inspired by a true story of heroic actions taken by ordinary people with victorious consequences. Be thankful for each precious day of life with a loved one and make the most of it. Resolve to take the right action in the situations of life, whatever they may be. Resolve to give thanks and support to those men, women, leaders and commanders who to this day (1,687 days since Sept. 11, 2001) continue the counterattacks on our enemy and in so doing keep us safe and our freedoms intact." Amen to that!

All They Need Is Love

Why Are Hippies Always So Angry? Maybe because the soldiers get all the hot chicks. The University of North Carolina ROTC Armory was vandalized. They wrote that they won't fight our wars. Hmmm? Maybe they're just upset that NOBODY HAS ASKED FOR THEIR HELP. The Military is kind of picky about who they allow to join their ranks. And if you can't even carry a can of paint without dropping it, you aren't good enough for the ARMY, NAVY, AIR FORCE, MARINES or GUARD.

A Simple Plan

Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld is being sued because the Pentagon has a list of potential military recruits. Nevermind that nobody is being forced to join the all volunteer military. I have an idea! Let's all us conservatives just stay home on election day 2008. Let's also encourage our brave sons and daughters to NOT re-enlist in the Military. The Democrats will win the Presidency, as well as every seat in both the House and Senate. And the next day we can all start bitching about Global Warming, Free Medical Care, and the price of gas. The liberals will have to get off their fat asses and figure out how to solve the problems of the world all by themselves. But we won't go to work so we won't make any money, and they can't tax what we don't have. The defense of the country and the rest of the world will be their problem now, and with all our kids having done their time already, there will be no choice but to draft all the hippy's kids. I'll be safe at home with my son, the Iraq War Veteran, watching Bruce Willis movies and drinking beer.

Thank You Tennessee

Up to 20,000 people turned out Saturday for a parade to welcome the 278th Regimental Combat Team of the Tennessee National Guard home from Iraq. Officials said the 4,000 soldiers of the 278th stationed along the dangerous northeast border of Iraq captured or killed 550 insurgents. The soldiers encountered 288 improvised explosive devices, with 64 percent located before the objects could deliver fatal blows to soldiers or civilians. The soldiers built or repaired schools, government buildings, wells and mosques during their deployment. click here for the full story

Your Move

Massachusetts Democrat Senator John Kerry is getting ready to run for President again in 2008. He says he's only thinking about it, but his puppet master has been setting the stage and says he would support him if he decides to run. It's a done deal. Personally, I'm looking forward to it. And part of me hopes he wins this time. The Democrats have been taking pot shots at President Bush for the last several years. And I want to be on the other side of the fence, where I really don't have to do anything, and I'll get to bitch and moan and blame everything on the next administration. Hell, I can do that with a beer in one hand and scratching my ass with the other. The Democrats have changed the rules since Bush has been President, and now it's fair to call on other countries and enemies of the United States to stand with you when you want to protest our government. It's now fair game to call for overthrowing the government, and even assasination to get what you want. The days of trying to come up with a better plan or idea are long gone. All you have to do these days is chant catchy phrases, print lies and slander and be hateful and stupid. I'll make a fortune selling "FUCK KERRY" t-shirts! Link

If It Walks Like A Duck...

Just so you know... There are people calling themselves the 'Islamic Thinkers Society' (ITS), and yesterday they held a rally outside of the Israeli Consulate in Manhattan, in New York City. Remember New York City?... that's the same place where other members of this "religion of peace" flew planes into the World Trade Center and killed thousands of innocent people. The Islamic Thinkers Society is thinking of things like "Another mushroom cloud, right in the midst of Israel!" And yet, people who look 'middle eastern' still don't understand why they get 'profiled'. Michelle Malkin Counter Terrorism Blog LGF

'Freedom Of Speech' to another big hit yesterday. A Secret Service officer covers the mouth of Wenyi Wang in this AP Photo, as she was dragged from the camera stand after shouting a protest to President Bush and visiting Chinese President Hu Jintao. Apparently, it's OK to bitch at Bush, if you're a member of the White House press corps, but trying to bring attention to the fact that Communist China really does torture and kill people for their beliefs, is a bad, m-kay?

They're Heeeeeeeere!

Why is Communism considered to be so cool today? There are people protesting against President Bush and the War in Iraq wearing 'Che' t-shirts, Celebrities are sucking up to Hugu Chavez, the Communist President of Venezuela, and now Hollywood reporters are doing their shows sporting clothing with the Hammer and Sickle, symbols of the former Soviet Union. Today, Chinese President Hu Jintao, is in the USA meeting with President Bush and Microsoft's Bill Gates. With so much "commie love" going on these days, the 1984 movie 'Red Dawn' doesn't seem all that "paranoid" anymore. Just as the illegal aliens made it clear in the last few weeks, that they're already here and it's too late to do anything to stop their invasion, the Communists are also coming out of the closets across America. It's becoming apparent to people who don't already have their heads stuck in the sand, that we've been invaded, and we've probably already lost this war. Next stop... the gulag? Link

You Want Blood?.. You Got It!

Just as I predicted back in March, the protesters are now going so far as to attack our troops directly, just like they used to do back in the 60's during Vietnam. "As recruiters drove off, a rock was allegedly thrown at their SUV. An officer began to persue the alleged rock-thrower, and a legal observer with a camera also took chase. Kot Hordinski, the legal observer, was then arrested for "obstruction." He was released after about fifteen minutes." full story So what about all this bullshit about how "we support the troops" ??? Are any of you old Hippy / Vietnam vets going to speak out against this? Or do we true patriots need to declare open season on these so-called Peacenicks? Your call.

You Say You Want A Revolution?

It looks like the Democrats have finally figured out how to win the next election. Let 11 million plus illegals aliens stay in the US, give them free medical care and then let them vote... Democrat! If by chance, the Democrats somehow lost the election again, they can scream 'racism' and overthrow the government just like they do in those central American countries and in Cuba.

Who's The Best? Anyone?.. Anyone?..

Ben Stein wants the troops to know he appreciates them. "Look, soldiers and Marines and sailors and airmen and Coast Guardsmen, there are eight billion people in this world. The whole fate of this world turns on what you people, 1.4 million, more or less, do every day. The fate of mankind depends on what about 2/100 of one percent of the people in this world do every day -- and you are those people. And joining you is every policeman, fireman, and EMT in the country, also holding back the tide of chaos." I'm with Ben on this one.

Watch Closely Now..

I find it interesting the way the news media continues to try and make it up as they go along rather than go out and cover actual news that happens to regular everyday people. Earlier I mentioned how NBC was trying to provoke NASCAR fans to do something they could 'report' about to show how rednecks are racists. Then there was the story of CBS 60 Minutes Mike Wallace, and how he would rather watch and 'report' on American soldiers being killed, before he would warn them of an ambush. Today the headlines are all about how the 'White House refuses to discuss Bush role in Iraq war leaks', or 'White House Sidesteps Questions On Leaks'. As if the act of NOT saying anything about a very old, non-story is an admission of guilt. If you follow that line of thinking, then what about my email to Jimmy Carter, where I called him a dried up old fart and a traitor to his country? I haven't received a reply from him yet, so he must agree with me, right? And how about when I said John Kerry was a flip-flopping, liberal weenie? I got no answer from him either, so it MUST be true. But hey!... They've been on this Bush hating rampage for six years now, and they've been so consumed by it, that they forget he'll be gone in two years and we'll have another guy just like him in the White House before they figure out they should be trying to find a reasonable candidate of their own. It's all just Smoke and Mirrors, Baby!

Our Two Bit Choices

Washington State is finally getting a new quarter of our own, and we all get to help decide which design we want. Yeah, right! You have to pick one of these three designs. Any designs depicting logging, mining or other eastern Washington activities are strictly forbidden. A public opinion poll is now available at www.governor.wa.gov/quarter. The deadline for participation is April 30, 2006. Anyone without a computer may mail a vote to Washington State Quarter Poll, PO Box 42675, Olympia, WA, 98504-2675. But if you don't have a computer, then you probably arn't reading this and can't see the quarters, so you're pretty much screwed. Story Link

Technology Sucks

I've been a bit of a slacker when it comes to posting lately. Sorry. This blog began as an excuse for me to learn and practice my computer skills, or lack thereof. Recently I've been made more aware that the computer and software industry has a long way to go until it is really user friendly. Lots of software only works with certain computers or web browsers. And when you try to figure it all out or ask for help from a so-called 'support' site, you're basically pissing into the wind. As an example; I'm trying to switch over from using Microsoft Internet Explorer to Mozilla Firefox as my default browser. I discovered that Firefox does not always display my website the way it should look. If you view The Bodie Specter in IE, you will see there is a link in the upper left side column that reads, "Blogroll The Specter!". But when viewed in Firefox, this link does not appear at all. In searching for help and answers as to how I can fix this, I found there is a group of Firefox snobs out there who belittle and scold anyone who asks for help along these lines. "It's not Firefox, it's your website or your sloppy code" is the standard line of 'help' they offer. I'm willing to fix the code, but they don't offer any suggestions about how I should do this. This suspect code was provided to me by Blogrolling... I didn't write it myself. So you stuck-up geeks can just kiss my ass. Another thing I've noticed is that you don't want to be hanging by your sack waiting for these 'support' sites to respond to your questions. Blogger, which is the software I use to publish this blog, never writes me back. I've asked for help a dozen times for various problems I've had, and they never answered me once. Several people have said I should be using Wordpress, but I tried them and they lost my account and my password didn't work on the second day. They never got back to me either, so I went back to Blogger. There is something comforting about things you are familiar with, even when it's a familiar screwing. As I am writing this, Blogger is coming in and out of service, and I keep getting a pop-up (there it is again) error message that my 'Blogger connection has failed' and that 'saving or publishing may fail.' I should probably try to contact Blogger support... but I'm going to go bang my head against the wall instead.

Stay Tuned For 'Punked' News

Michelle Malkin has a story about how NBC is doing a bit of racial profiling of their own in order to fake another 'news' story. According to an intercepted email, the NBC show 'Dateline' is soliciting Muslim looking men for a hidden-camera sting operation. They are looking for some Muslim male candidates for their show who would be willing to go to non-Muslim gatherings and see if they attract any discriminatory comments or actions while being filmed.... They are looking for men who actually "look Muslim". They want a guy with no foreign accent whatsoever, a good thick beard, an outgoing personality, and someone willing to wear a kufi/skullcap during the filming. Hey! This has all the makings of a hit series. Maybe they could do an episode where they send a couple Jews to infiltrate a neo-nazi training camp. They would need to ask for guys with big hooked noses and wearing yarmulkas. Or they could send a scantily dressed babe with a huge rack, wearing a wet t-shirt with a cartoon of Muhommad on it, into a mosque full of muslim men. Now THAT would be NEWS!

The Coming Holocaust?

It's probably not a big deal... But there are some people in this country, Scientists actually, who are planning to kill off 90% of the earth's population just to save their planet. You're not going to believe this! Pianka then began laying out his concerns about how human overpopulation is ruining the Earth He presented a doomsday scenario in which he claimed that the sharp increase in human population since the beginning of the industrial age is devastating the planet. He warned that quick steps must be taken to restore the planet before it's too late. Professor Pianka said the Earth as we know it will not survive without drastic measures. Then, and without presenting any data to justify this number, he asserted that the only feasible solution to saving the Earth is to reduce the population to 10 percent of the present number.. War and famine would not do, he explained. Instead, disease offered the most efficient and fastest way to kill the billions that must soon die if the population crisis is to be solved.

The Tim Hortons Terrorist?

A mysterious man and a small can of gasoline are behind an explosion that rocked a downtown Toronto Tim Hortons, killing him and causing a city block's evacuation. Investigators do not know what ignited the gasoline or what the deceased man's motives were. Suspicion is focusing on either suicide or arson. They say he was definitely not a terrorist. "He's not a strap-on, al Qaeda bomber guy," Toronto Police Staff Sgt. Don Cole said Sunday evening. "It sounds to me like a guy who either wanted to do a torch job or commit suicide." Several hours after the explosion, Tim Hortons District Manager Amin Islam escorted the employees away. ...District Manager Amin Islam?...

The Wallace Wiggle

This Jill Carroll story raises some interesting questions about the role of reporters in a war zone. It used to be that you could count on American war correspondents to be Americans first, and reporters second. SGT. Hook made this point in his blog today. "Since the days of Ernie Pyle sending dispatches from the front during WWII, journalists have been covering combat operations with a sense of duty rivaling a soldier's sense of duty in prosecuting said combat operations." It must be remembered that back in 1987, former 60 Minutes correspondent Mike Wallace said that he would not warn U.S. soldiers of an impending ambush. "Don't you have a higher duty as an American citizen to do all you can to save the lives of soldiers rather than this journalistic ethic of reporting fact?", moderator Charles Ogletree Jr. suggested. Without hesitating, Wallace responded: "No, you don't have higher duty...you're a reporter." But let's compare that line of thinking with the trial of confessed Al-Qaida conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui who is facing the death penalty for doing pretty much the same thing. "To find Moussaoui eligible for execution under the federal death penalty law, jurors must conclude that the government would have been able to save at least one life if Moussaoui had disclosed what he knew about the Sept. 11, 2001 plot when he was arrested weeks earlier." So, if Moussaoui can only produce a press pass from Al Jazeera, he'll be able to walk, using the 'Mike Wallace defense strategy'. Hat Tip: Sgt. Hook Newsbusters

House Bill 2381, The Beaver Relocation Bill was the project of freshman Rep. Joel Kretz, R-Wauconda.

"Currently, they live-trap them and knock them in the head and toss them in a ditch somewhere," Kretz said Wednesday. "And I thought, there's a better way of dealing with the resource. Who could be against beavers?" Now we know who. "One thing you can't get too much of in life's... more beaver." Cledus T. Judd Hat Tip: Bob

Jill Carroll Rejects Statements

Jill Carroll has recanted her earlier statements and 'propaganda video'. "During my last night in captivity, my captors forced me to participate in a propaganda video. They told me I would be released if I cooperated. I was living in a threatening environment, under their control, and wanted to go home alive. So I agreed," she said in a statement read by her editor in Boston. "...But let me be clear: I abhor all who kidnap and murder civilians, and my captors are clearly guilty of both crimes." I suspected as much. But it's still nice when one of these former hostages comes clean and tells it like it was. But it also makes you wonder why those other freed Christian Peace Team members are NOT admitting that their former captors are the bad guys in this conflict. Unless of course, they were willing participants in their ordeal. Which, in turn, raises more questions about the torture and murder of their only American member Tom Fox. I think somebody should dig a little deeper into that story. Read Jill Carroll's full statement

Biting The Hand...

As a follow up to my conspiracy theory, a Canadian newspaper editorial today agrees that we need to reassess our practice of saving the asses of people who are allegedly taken 'hostage' while trying to undermine our mission of freedom, and says "peacemaker rescue should be optional" "Not only do some CPT activists still refuse to show any gratitude toward the coalition soldiers and spies who helped rescue three of their members in Iraq last week, one of the hostages -- Canadian Harmeet Sooden -- is now even insisting the entire rescue mission was "contrived," presumably to give the coalition a public relations boost amid continued bad news about the insurgency in that country." The next time I see some anti-American crybaby pleading for their life on the news, I'm cracking open another beer and saying "It sucks to be you." Hat Tip: LGF National Post Pajamas Media
