*** begin quote ***

Most students followed protocol and said they learned more than in a regular classroom assignment. Ninth-grader Joe Polarr was arrested several times for walking on the grass, wearing a hat and not pulling back his long hair — basically just being Joe Polarr on a normal school day.

*** end quote ***

Left out the killing. Socialists, Communists, and Fascists kill people. So “old” Joe would be dead for not following the rules. The gooferment skool left out that little lesson. But, we, The People, can’t ever forget that gooferments, for all their usual ineptitude, are really good at mass murder! Look at the body counts. All gooferments, even ours, kills innocent people at home and abroad. Aren’t we ashamed of that? Aren’t we afraid of that? Aren’t we personally at risk?

POLITICAL: Marines on Okinawa, why stay?

Bring our Marines home
Pat Buchanan

*** begin quote ***

Indeed, why are we still defending Japan? She is no longer the ruined nation of 1945, but the second-largest economy on earth and among the most technologically advanced.

*** end quote ***

Seems like a good place to start!

POLITICAL: China dictates American policy

China PLA officers urge economic punch against U.S.
Chris Buckley
BEIJING
Tue Feb 9, 2010 12:00pm EST

*** begin quote ***

BEIJING (Reuters) – Senior Chinese military officers have proposed that their country boost defense spending, adjust PLA deployments, and possibly sell some U.S. bonds to punish Washington for its latest round of arms sales to Taiwan.

*** end quote ***

Doesn’t anyone find this dangerous?

(1) Immediately balance the budget. Nuke functions. Lower taxes (i.e., the Laffer curve will increase revenue).

(2) Create a debt-reduction plan (i.e., whatever reasonable interval to pay it off — fifty years? a hundred years?).

(3) Adopt something with teeth that can keep this from happening again!

Argh!

Your gooferment at work!

POLITICAL: Who’s “manning the walls” in the Obama administration?

American Rhetoric: Movie Speech
“A Few Good Men” (1992)
written by Aaron Sorkin

Colonel Nathan R. Jessep Addresses the Court on “Code Red”

*** begin quote ***

You can’t handle the truth! Son, we live in a world that has walls. And those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who’s gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Santiago’s death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives…You don’t want the truth. Because deep down, in places you don’t talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. You need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty…we use these words as the backbone to a life spent defending something. You use ’em as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it! I’d rather you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don’t give a damn what you think you’re entitled to!

*** end quote ***

This rings true more today that ever.

Who’s “manning the walls” in the Obama administration?

Sorry, but the Department of Defense and the National Guard should be deployed here at home. Like the Coast Guard should NOT be off gallivanting.

We have bases in reportedly 170 countries. Time for a base closing commission of taxpayers.

Did you know that the Constitution only authorizes a permanent Navy. The Army is only allowed for two years. Guess the Dead Old White guys understood about the dangers of a permanent army. What do you think they’d have thought about the alphabet agencies: FBI, DEA, BATF, CIA, NSA, yada, yada, and yada?

Argh!

POLITICAL: Sarah Palin’s Bill O’Reilly debut

Sarah Palin shoots straight in Bill O’Reilly debut on Fox News
Wednesday, January 13, 2010, 4:00 AM

*** begin quote ***

Patrick Roberts: Sarah Palin came out swinging on Bill O’Reilly last night – and for the first time I could see what this woman has that voters find so attractive.She swore, she let loose , she nailed some enemies. She came across as a real person, not a polished politician, but a person who, until very recently, was skinning polar bears or whatever it is they do in the wilds of Alaska.

*** end quote ***

I saw the segment, but the follow up analysis was nuked by Haiti “coverage” (i.e., a talking female head repeating that they knew nothing, dermatologist describing how poor they were on her medical relief missions, and professional fundraiser asking for donations while patting themselves on the back for just delivering two containers of stuff that very day due to lucky timing; in other words, fluff!).

The ex-Guv dodged Bo’R’s attempts to get her to say something bad about the various folks attacking her. She deflected by reporting that the attackers weren’t there and were just passing along third had gossip.

The ex-Guv also dodged the “bomb Iran” question. She called for sanctions. (How does starving little kids bring about peace?) So, she needs to be carefully examined to see if she’s a Libertarian or a neo-Conservative?

This observer is still on the fence. Leaning her way, but on the fence.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: The USA always betrays its “friends”

The American way of abandonment
Posted: November 02, 2009
Pat Buchanan

*** begin quote ***

But what does it avail us to insult these people who have cast their lot with us, many of whom will, with families and friends, pay a far more terrible price than we if we lose these wars?

And if we are going to abandon these people, as we have so many others in the past, let us at least tell them, and ourselves, the truth. We didn’t know what we were getting into. We don’t have the stomach for a long war. We’re sorry we got you into this. Your big mistake was in trusting us. You folks should have known better.

*** end quote ***

Washington was right. Trade with all; alliances with none.

That would have been more honest. I remember that we screwed the Hungarians in their 1956 revolt against the Russians. Voice of America incited them and the gooferment left them hanging out to dry.

Argh!

Imagine a world without America
Barry Farber

*** begin quote ***

America took the lead and founded the United Nations, fully allowing for America to be out-voted as that great “Parliament of Man” became a VIP lounge for dictators, aggressors, oppressors, thugs, thieves, sexual predators and other varieties of truly awful people.

*** end quote ***

No good deed goes unpunished.

Time to send that packing! We should get out now.

POLITICAL: Afgan, the graveyard of empires?

Thursday, October 22, 2009

The Real Reason for More Troops in Afghanistan by Michael Gaddy

*** begin quote ***

Financially crippled due to our continued wars for empire and the printing of billions of new dollars to repay political cronies in the financial world has left us in a precarious position in Afghanistan. We will try to counter the financial prowess of China, to whom we owe billions and their military ties to Russia with the blood and lives of tens of thousands of new US military forces. When China calls in our financial markers, and they will if challenged, what will become of our country? We are about to escalate a war we cannot win. How long will it be before Americans care more for the lives of their children than they do for the state and refuse to participate in the madness?

*** end quote ***

Maybe I do have a permanent “tin foil hat”, but when politicians talk I look for the lies. There are always some: commission, omission, obfuscation, spin, what’s in it for me, how can I punish my enemies, and on and on.

Maybe more troops would protect “our” troops that are already there, but do you think these politicians worry about that?

Maybe more troops would allow “victory”, but that’s never been defined. So how would we know?

If the Soviets fought and lost in Afghanistan for a decade, what make us think that Iraq-style surge would work?

No, like Viet Nam, Republic of, we’ve been beaten again, by an enemy playing of a different “field”. In Viet Nam, it was our “Third Generation” military facing off against a “Fourth Generation” guerilla army. In Afghanistan, it was our “Third Generation” military facing off against a “Fifth Generation” stateless individual insurgency.

(I have a theory of what the Sixth Generation conflict will look like. Citizens against their own “government” like 1957 Hungry.)

Whatever the case, we can be sure we are not getting anything near the “truth” from our politicians.

GLOBAL: End of the American empire?

Going bust: The end of an age
By Bernie Quigley – 10/14/09 09:50 AM ET

*** begin quote ***

We might consider thinking about the benefits of regionalization, because if the U.S. economy is to contract and consolidate, it might contract within a matrix that makes for better packaging than the internal world-without-walls we have now. Does northern New England really need four farm colleges? One might work better. We might begin to think about tax spending and tax breaks to encourage naturally occurring regional cultures and regional community tier economies. We might feature farming where there are farms and factories where there are or have been factories. Because life in the city is different than the hills and prairies and one size does not fit all in temperament, personality, culture and economics.

And we might begin to ask ourselves, How did we get to where we are? What do we want to be? What have we become?

*** end quote ***

Would seem that we have to hunker down. Get “small”. And, maybe secession is a good idea to do that?

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Terps get screwed!

Military’s Forgotten ‘Terps’ Get Some Love
    * By Nathan Hodge Email Author
    * September 22, 2009

*** begin quote ***

Foust and Hsia aren’t the first ones to take up the cause of the interpreters. Many Iraq and Afghanistan veterans have tried to help their interpreters — many of whom face death threats — get special immigrant visas. Writing last year in the New York Post, Marine Corps vet Owen West expressed his frustration with the maddening bureaucratic process. “As a Marine, I was taught never to leave a comrade-in-arms behind on the battlefield,” he wrote. “But that’s exactly what the State Department is doing to men and women who’ve sacrificed everything to help our troops – our Iraqi interpreters.”

*** end quote ***

As usual, the gooferment figures out a way for is to screw some of our few friends.

I bet these “Terps” would be as good a citizen as any U of Maryland grad.
