Free world, you’re on your own

Posted on March 26, 2013 | Comments Off on Free world, you’re on your own

Mark Steyn has it pretty succinct, the reason why I will try to discourage Mr. B. from following his father, grandfathers, and other ancestors in joining the American military. It lately seems more interested in slotting women into the infantry and decrying the dangers of global warming than training and fighting to win wars.

“But there are ever fewer takers for a money-no-object global hegemon that spends 46 percent of the world’s military budget and can’t impress its will on a bunch of inbred goatherds.”

That would be a reference to Afghanistan, I presume. Fits Iraq as well and, if you go back far enough, those little Asian guys who regularly kicked our asses in Vietnam. Despite what you may have heard about the politicians losing it.

We do have a lot of generals and admirals, however, and their spiffy uniforms have chest candy that runs up and almost over their shoulders. With all sorts of other shiny doodads on their chests, and pockets, etc.

Other than that, we have a lot of crippled or dead men (including suicides) who believed Washington truly wanted to win this Global War on Terror thing. Only to find out W. wouldn’t fight it as hard as he could have and Barry wouldn’t fight it at all and not only withdrew (or is in process of retreating) but even sanitized the name. And will certainly leave Israel to its fate, along with the rest of the “free world.” Nope, not a good time to volunteer.

The Democrats’ true intention

Posted on March 24, 2013 | Comments Off on The Democrats’ true intention

Maxine Waters has brain farts all the time, whenever she tries to put more than three or four words together in one sentence. But this one was priceless (in a manner of speaking) because she was left trying so hard to backpedal after inadvertently revealing her party’s true intentions.

Happy little liberal that she is (she even brags about it) she just couldn’t pass up a chance to threaten an oil industry executive with nationalizing his job right out from under him.

But the result of federal management would not be priceless. Five dollar gasoline? Shoot. Try $20 and rationing as all the petit bureaucrats line up for their new jobs “managing” the industry. Think of the towering piles of shuffled paper, reams of ever-new forms to fill out, and the contradictory decisions.

Think the TSA. Think FEMA. Think about taking the bus.

No mo cheese in Cheese Whiz

Posted on March 23, 2013 | Comments Off on No mo cheese in Cheese Whiz

Charles at Dustbury has discovered that the makers of Cheese Whiz have figured out a way to make the stuff without cheese. Whoop-de-do.

Back off, I say, those folks down in Port Arthur have to do something with all that petro waste they produce while filling your cars with gasoline. They can’t dump it ALL in the Gulf.

Besides, I do assure you from my very own personal experience, there’s not a 13-year-old boy on the planet who could tell the difference.

Yipes: Fossil fuels are greening the planet

Posted on March 22, 2013 | Comments Off on Yipes: Fossil fuels are greening the planet

Hey, wait a minute. Aren’t fossil fuels and the Greens quite distinct? Isn’t the former the nemesis of the other? Isn’t the so-called runaway greenhouse effect and, uh, its attendant global warming, supposed to create deserts at least as far north as Minneapolis-St. Paul?

Hmm. Instead, it seems, vegetation up there (and even farther north) is growing like mad. More plants, more trees, more grass. Well, these things do take in CO2 in order to grow, and so, taking in the CO2, they are, indeed, growing. Duh.

UPDATE:  The Gorebot didn’t get the memo, or, more likely, he got it but didn’t want to read it as it conflicts with his plan to raise taxes. And, naturally, Obutthead is still leading with his behind. As what they’ve left of our economy dies, get ready for the new Ice Age.

The looter’s economy: The greedy pols are the real 1 percent

Posted on March 20, 2013 | Comments Off on The looter’s economy: The greedy pols are the real 1 percent

Forget the private 1 percent. It’s the government 1 percent we should be worried about.

“The big government left keeps playing the class warfare card, but for all their murmuring, it is not the top 1 percent that robs the middle-class blind and then sends them the bill.

“Even the worst company in the world isn’t as larcenously extortionate as the politicians who spend and kick back, and then cry poverty and raise taxes. They shout that we need to raise taxes on the rich, and supposing that we do, where will that money go?

“Even if we strip that 1 percent of all their wealth and dress them up in barrels, is there anyone who does not believe that those in power will still contrive to spend it all and run up huge deficits anyway?”

The Cyprus deal stealing from private savings accounts to pay off a government deficit should scare you. If there’s an honest person left in the Congress s/he’ll introduce a bill tomorrow making that sort of thing criminal here. Ah, but is there an honest person left in the Congress? Is there really? You have to wonder.

Kiss California goodbye

Posted on March 18, 2013 | Comments Off on Kiss California goodbye

Our ever-dawdling president is intensifying his campaign to take small arms away from Americans while he allows the bad guys to threaten us with nukes.

Finally starting to get the idea that North Korea just might really take an ICBM potshot at our West Coast, Barry’s fervent brain hatches an idea. When he and his family aren’t busy vacationing, or his tee time doesn’t interfere, why he’s moving heaven and earth… Uh, not exactly. He’s leading with his behind as usual. He’s planning a West Coast missile defense system at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.

That’s after the, uh, environmental impact study is completed, of course. Gee, those things can take a lot of time. I wouldn’t want my butt dependent on the Pentagon getting it done any time this decade. Or wait for Barry to figure out that he could base the systems on warships offshore without playing the Green game on land. Might even move those warships a lot closer to North Korea. Let the debris (and the nuke) fall on the Norks, eh?

Naw. That wouldn’t fit in with Barry’s favorite bit of babble these days: peace lectures. Might be a good idea to start packing and reserve a U-Haul before they’re all booked up.

UPDATE:  Well, now, this is good news.
