If you think my logic or facts are faulty, lets discuss it. When your findings disagree with my findings, that is dialogue. But using rhetoric to disagree with science is demogoguery. No demogoguery! I usually refrain from insults, but occasionally, ignorance and liberal hypocrisy bring out the worst in me.ironcross11http://www.blogger.com/profile/03671825867284428231noreply@blogger.comBlogger4061100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9057917.post-78731826550542986372010-10-17T17:35:00.002-05:002010-10-17T17:51:29.947-05:00

With an absolute lack of enmity for the Democrats, I suggest the following course of action for Republican leaders on the 3rd of November. Publish a manifesto such as this:Today, unemployment begins to drop. Not because government is going to hire more people, but because government is going to get smaller. This message is for stockholders and business owners; managers and executives; and

Michael Jackson is dead. A great artist has died. A tortured soul has passed from this world. A spoiled, skinny, man-child who earned roughly a billion dollars in his life, spent nearly a half-billion more dollars than he made. Where's the liberal outrage? The ACORN thugs that rail against the bonuses on Wall Street should be rioting in the streets. This man consumed a half-billion more

"Not My President", "Not My President's Cabinet" and "Not My Congress" are stealing us all blind. In case you are not paying attention, they just made a deal that clips the taxpayer out of any possibility of repayment of the TARP money by Chrysler. The primary debtholders got screwed too.

I postulate that in the future "to Hansen" will be synonymous with "to run around in a panic waving one's arms in the air and shouting "we're all gonna die.""Just as it seems the rest of the world is coming to the realization that climate cycles are normal, Hansen now suggests that we scrap democracy since we haven't put a bunch of socialist looters in charge of the world economy fast enough.

Do you know what a teleprompter is? It's a tool used by people that want to deliver finely crafted speeches that don't deviate from the official doctrine. They give the speaker the exact word for word delivery, sometimes with pauses and emphasis marks even displayed.But a truly quick mind will realize when the teleprompter is screwed up.

Barney Frank, Barack Obama, Chris Dodd, John McCain and a host of others all got their share of money from AIG last year. But now they want to make sure that the people that run the company don't get the money that they have been contracted to.The White House criticizes banking execs for luxury spending while dishing up weekly buffets with $100 per pound Wagyu Beef.I'm a little confused.

The S.S. Obama agenda is heading for the Reef of Reality. The vacuous double speak that he used during the campaign didn't mean the things the voters thought they meant.As Obama tries the failed politics of FDR, LBJ and Jimmah Cahteh, his poll numbers are plummeting and the public has lost that cultlike confidence that he has the solution to anything. Supply-side economics is the only thing that

Obama turned to a new source of hope this week. He's begun to suggest that the American people will be the key to ending the current crisis. This is a new tack for the S.S. Obama. I thought government was his solution to every problem. Government stealing from the producers to give to the parasites.

A woman in Florida called 911 three times to report a shortage of Chicken McNuggets at her local McDonalds. When cited with abuse of the 911 system, she insisted that her order of Chicken McNuggets constituted an emergency.

Went to Belize for 12 days. Went to Ambergris Key and San Ignacio in Belize and Flores and Tikal in Guatemala. Here's what you need to know.Ambergris Key is relatively expensive for Central America but bargains can be had. You can rent a bike for $5US/day or a golf cart for $45US/day. You do that math. Best food was at Wild Mangos. Always booked for dinner and not cheap but not pricey either.

Prime Minister Maliki says that after being wrong for more than 3 years, Barack Obama may finally be right. It may finally be time to talk about a timetable for US troop withdrawals.

Dear Mr. Obama, You remind me of President Lincoln, but I’ll get to that part later.That recent sound bite about energy policy was really frightening. Are you really so ignorant of economics as to think that increasing oil supply will not bring down prices? You said we can not drill our way out of this shortage. Are you really that stupid?

Watching the Clinton Regime deconstruct is like a rerun of the wheels coming off the Marcos regime in the Phillipines. After years of brutally suppressing dissent within the machine, the power behind the threats are wearing thin as the promise of future power slips through her fingers. They ain't going back to the White House. Their cronies are deserting and looking for new benefactors.

Why are the Clintonista's so outraged by the jab at them for pimping out Chelsea? Because anytime someone tells the truth about them it is a vicious attack.

Hillary claims to support Affirmative Action to right the wrongs of the past. But when a black man wants the same job she wants, I don't see her making a fast move to step aside and let him have it even though she says he's less qualified.

There's a must see film that portrays in detail the world that Mrs. Clinton wants to create for us. It's a film about life under an all powerful socialist government and the kind of abuses that take place when government officials have unchecked power over peoples lives. I took the opportunity to go to East Germany in the early 80's and the film had a crystalline authenticity to the feel of the

Read this!Quotes from the article:"Only an insignificant fraction of scientists deny the global warming crisis. The time for debate is over. The science is settled."So said Al Gore ... in 1992.

The massacre in Virginia was senseless and preventable. I heard part of the convocation ceremony on the radio and one of the speakers lamented that they never imagined that such a horror could befall their campus. If that's the case, they need to be fired. If they could not have imagined it, they haven't been listening. Law enforcement and counter-terror experts have been shouting the alarm

Today is the 30 anniversary of the day I first took the Oath of Enlistment. It seems like a blur. All of the 50 States and a number of territories. Too many countries to list. Moonless night missions and bawdy escapades with trusted comrades. It was 30 years ago yesterday that my dad expressed his concern that I wasn't cut out for the conformity of a military life. He was right. I conformed

We live in a hydrocarbon fueled civilization. Its the fuel that runs the machines, powers the cars, spins the alternators that push electrons down the power lines. Gas makes things get done. It allows each person to be more productive.Recently while discussing performance appraisals on some troops with a colleague, I commented that the particular troop was short on Give-A-Sh*t, AKA GAS.

I teach against blind obedience. I don't believe in it. I teach the following:If you don't know why you do something, you can be tricked into doing anything.If you know why I want things the way I want them, you'll be the agent that I can trust when I'm not there.When you lead, tell your people to ask when they don't understand.

This is the text of a speech I gave at a Junior High School Veterans Day Assembly last year.There are many ways to classify people but today I’m going to borrow something from a Psychologist named Dave Grossman and put them in three classifications. About 1 percent of people are Sheepdogs. 1 percent are Jackals. The rest are sheep, cattle, horses and oxen. You heard me, the majority of people are

If your friend is self-destructing, intercede. If your automobile engine is self-destructing turn it off. But what do you do when your nation is self-destructing? Or perhaps more accurately, what do politicians and judges do when the ignorant masses are demanding the destruction of the system that is the basis of all prosperity in the country and most of the prosperity in the world.

There's an effort underway to end the war in Iraq before attaining the strategic goal of a stable and democratic Iraq. The Middle East will continue to be a cesspool of international unrest until the rule of law and the basis for prosperity can be established. Failure to extend the effort through to victory will only mean more bloodshed and terror.If we incrementally remove our direct

There's a timid little guy that comes into my office a couple of times a week wearing a vacuum cleaner backpack. He empties the trash from my trash can and runs the vacuum around the office. He won't even knock if the door is closed and he works alongside the woman that scrubs the bathrooms. The troops out on the floor also carry backpacks. They carry rucksacks full of targeting equipment to

There will be no terror attacks in the next 2 years. At least, none that Al Qaeda will organize and take credit for. They know it won't be tolerated. They know that the only chance they have of getting a wussie leftist President is to lie low. If they were to pull off something spectacular, they know the heartland will coalesce around the President and America would elect a stony man with

There are liberals suggesting stripping the accreditation of weathermen and Nuremburg-type trials for vocal skeptics of Global Warming.

I hate to harp on it, but the subject just doesn't seem to get covered anywhere else. At a football game, they call the fans the 12th man. The fans make noise to suppress the opposing team's communication. The cheer and drink and covort in the stands. They spend their money and and that money helps pay salaries. They may be overweight and out of shape, but the fans are a critical part of the

It took 400,000 American deaths to end World War II and bring stability to the world. Almost all of the areas that were the bloodbaths of WWII have been relatively peaceful and prosperous since. China and Russia took awhile to abandon the ignorance of communist socialism, but they are healing. Western Europe and Japan have been peaceful and prospering since 1945.It was painful, it was bloody and

62 years ago, the battle for Bastogne raged. The German counter-offensive was launched on the 16th of December, in the following 3 days, the Americans took nearly 10,000 casualties. By the morning of 19 December, the 101st Airborne had been thrown in to block the advance. They were lightly-clothed, lightly-armed and under-fed. They were light infantry underdogs up against heavy armor and

In my private musings recently, there's been a subtle theme that keeps surfacing. I can't really define it except as American Imperialism. American Imperialism is not like Roman Imperialism or British Imperialism or any of the expansionist tendencies of so many empires of the past. America does not want to control more real estate. America just wants more America. While on the surface that
