And bitterly clinging to your Bible and guns.

DrewM,

Thanks so much for posting this!

Excellent speech.

I can't view the video at work but I do have some thoughts on the 'dark side of Diversity'. First of all, diversity is a GIVEN - in this country more than anywhere else on earth. Just go to any mall or Costco or Wal-Mart and look at the sea of faces -  from all corners of the world  -  and  all Americans. Then try doing the same anywhere else - China, Germany, India, Arabia, Japan...anywhere in the world. And then come back and lecture me...NO... SCOLD  me, about Diversity. I am sick and tired of preachy, leftist nuttards acting as if we were some Aryan stronghold with nothing but white people allowed.

Then look at the word itself - DIVERSITY - the very root of which is "different  from  one another"; "composed of distinct or unlike elements or qualities". The very word focuses on highlighting our differences and fixating on them rather than what we should be highlighting - which is that which UNIFIES us. And while this is the real truth behind the United States, it is even truer in the military - where the only color that matters is green, and every soldier is your brother. And what really frosted me was when GEN Casey, in the aftermath of the FT Hood massacre - couldn't find anything more soldierly to say than 'it would be a tragedy if diversity was a casualty of this event' - or words to that effect. WHO IN THE FUCK GAVE THIS MAN A COMMISSION? And if his virtues - whatever they may have been to get him to his rank and position - are anything more than a shadow, he would have had the honor to resign, rather than to make a pussified, weasely, ass-sucking statement like that. He should be ashamed of himself. Moral courage my ass. This country's soldiers deserve better. A lot better. LTG Kelly sounds like what they deserve.

 "The most moving part of the GeneralÂ’s talk was when he addressed the disparity in the burdens born by the 1% who volunteer to serve (and their families) and the vast majority who have no direct contact with anyone in the military. An even smaller subset have paid the most frightful price imaginable."

**

This is part of the reason I did not like the Part of Christies speech last night when he spoke of "shared sacrifiice" We as Conservatives, Republicans and Service men and woman have sacrficed enough.  The takers in this society have had a free ride on the backs of the willing and working for far too long. I'm not looking for reparations, just a break from the heavy burdens of the vulture segment of society.

Soona - You all sweat  napalm right?  It oozes from your pores...   /sarc

Thank you for your service.

Tell us the truth.  How many others did you invite before you settled for Drew?

The best thing we could do for our troops right now is bring them home. Obama is wasting their lives for noting more than political cover. He has no intent of completing any mission there. Hell, he doesn't even know what a freakin mission is.

That was my thought the day after he was elected. The military contract should have an escape clause in the event that an incomptent POS like him ever gets elected again.

Even the stories of returning soldiers being spit on and called baby killers were myths. There's no way to prove it never happened, but every high profile example could never be proved by people who tried to investigate these stories.

Really?   I guess my lying eyes have decieved me.

Countrysquire NB post - Yes, I'd say that's something.

Will it get legs?  One can  ONLY HOPE.

To all at the HQ who have served, or have loved ones who have served, thank you.  

 Even the stories of returning soldiers being spit on and called baby killers were myths.

Oh, really.   When I seperated from the service the first time when I got back from Vietnam, the NCO's at Ft.  Ord told us that in order to leave the post we had to be in full military uniform, but  strongly suggested that  we keep a change of civilian clothes at the top of our duffel bag so that we could immediately change once we got to the SF airport. 

He said we'd be asking for trouble there if we stayed in uniform.  And after we got there, we realized he was telling the truth.  There were people there just waiting for the next batch of soldiers from Ord to arrive.

I'm getting the general sense that the Moron Horde believes that the men in uniform have done more for the country than the dancing vaginas. 

I do remember many the year ago that antiwar activist and radical (and Jane Fonda's former main squeeze) Tom Hayden was demanding memorials to the war protesters just like the veterans got.  I don't know if he ever got any or not.

Rush isn't his usual self today.  I guess  that is alright, you are going to have some off-days every  now and then.  I just think that the convention so far has been just ok.  There were some good speeches and good moments, but no knock your socks off moments just yet.  Neither were there any really bad speeches.  There really isn't much interesting to say about the convention so far.

It's because you fought against a Communist country.  My old man was  a  Sea-Bee officer attached to the 3rd Marine Amphibious Force.  He was wounded during Tet.  His brother was one of the hippie protesters and they never spoke to each other again.  When my Uncle Joe died, dad refused to go to the funeral.  Having family rooting for the guys trying to kill you tends to piss you off.

"As our son was walking through an airport (I believe Chicago) two years ago, someone muttered, "Murderer" to him. He was stunned."

If I'd been in earshot of that exchange, I would have made a scene.  A scene of alexic proportions.

Me, not so much.  Pretty boring, really.  Training, cleaning, maintenance, repeat.  If it ever got exciting, we all would have been having pretty bad hair days. But that was the mission.

RE: Rush's take on the RNC.   I think the reason he's disappointed in Christie's speech is precisely BECAUSE it's Christie.  In the party Christie is a rock star precisely because he's blunt and harsh and isn't afraid to call an idiot an idiot.  He's unique in the RNC on that count; Allen West is the only other "firebrand" of that sort who comes to mind.  So Rush would doubtless view a less-than-firebrandish speech by Christie as a missed opportunity; nobody else currently on the ticket to speak is going to have that same expectation. 

But I also think, if you look at the themes of each day of the convention, it makes sense.

TUESDAY:  We Built It

WEDNESDAY: We Can Change It

THURSDAY: We Believe In America

On the "We Built It" day, you don't want to go talking about the idiot who's currently destroying everything that's been built.     It's implied in the name anyway; "We Built It, Mr. President.  The government didn't build it for us."  

But we'll see.   It's the GOP, so milquetoast is always at the top of the menu.

That  episode I related upthread had a happy ending too.  When we boarded our flight to Dallas on a 747 (the first 747 I had ever seen.  I mean that sucker looked huge) we took off and got to cruise,  one of the AA stewardesses came back and told all of the Vietnam  vets that the back bar was open and it was all ours.  The airline people always treated us soldiers well.

But it did take an effort to stumble out of that plane once we did get to Dallas.

I wouldn't say they're tailoring it to SATISIFY the narrative, since the media narrative is "Republicans Are Evil Racists Who Hate Women And Kill People."   Rather, the RNC is trying to actively REFUTE that narrative; something that is completely futile.   The media doesnt' care what the RNC does; it will squash everything into its narrative, even if what's said and done is in complete contradiction to what the narrative would dictate.     The RNC attendees could sit in a big circle, holding hands and singing "Kumbaya," and the media would call it a "cult-like atmosphere of evangelical dog whistles."

That's why I'd have preferred the RNC went balls-to-the-wall and called it the "Anti-Obama, Pro-America, Red Meat and Potatoes with Salt and a Big Gulp    Convention of     Greatness."  

I'm anxious to hear what Ryan says tonight.  I am not expecting the red meat, but want someone who can intelligentyly contrast the pro-market viewpoint of the GOP (some in the GOP)  against  the pro-government viewpoint of the Dems (all Dems). 

About the only time I've been rendered speechless on a job interview was in the summer of 2006.  I was about 3 months out of the Marines and interviewing for a sales job with the Manheim auto auction in Pensacola.  I had done two interviews with the sales manager and another manager, and apparently done well because they brought me in for an interview with the general manager of the place. 

He asks me a bit about my background, I answer, and I notice he's not really looking at me but just kind of staring out of the window behind me.  After I finish telling him about what my job was in the Marines, he asks me if I've been deployed.  I tell him I just got back from Iraq in February.  He then says something like, "How does it feel knowing you've killed people?"  I was taken aback, but I tell him that I've never actually been in combat because my job was to maintain and repair radar systems.  He keeps it up - "But the planes and helicopters that flew out of your base were killing people, and since they needed your radar to operate, you're killing people just as much as if you were pulling the trigger yourself!"  He still won't look me in the eye.

At this point, I'm speechless.  I wanted to jump across the desk and smack him in the mouth, but I want the job, so I sat there for what seemed like an hour trying to think of something to say.  I finally just said that he was free to draw whatever conclusions he wanted, and if people were dying because of my work then I must have been doing a good job.

Boom, interview over.  He mumbled "Thanks for your time" and I left.  The sales manager, who I could tell was anxious to hire me, came over and asked me how it went.  I told him that I didn't think his boss liked veterans much.  Needless to say, I didn't get the job, or even so much as a call back to let me know that I was no longer a candidate.

"This Issac sure was a dissapointment for the MSM."

They've still made the most of it.  Local news spent 75% of their time on it this morning, including side-stories about pet shelters taking in strays from LA.

They  also ran "highlights" reels of the good stuff they've accrued so far.  Reporters standing out there soaking wet complaining about how  the rain  stings even through their clothes.  Apparently, the on-site reporters now also wear protective  shop-glasses.  Dweebs.

The problem with Afghanistan is the only mission they have is covering Obama's ass.

I think some people believe we are in Korea because of Korea. 

A  good argument can be made for continuing are presence in Germany  and  Nato.  If they aren't willing to defend themselves, why should we.   Having said that, when you get down to  it, Germany will defend themselves.  So,  there.  We don't need to be in Afghanistan, but we should have remained in Iraq.  Not because of Iraq.

::::::::

Military missions are not about "doing the best thing for our troops."

And Obama will use any necessary military operation for political advantage too, so that criticism is not applicable.

I'm sure I could have come up with a snappier comeback if I had more time to think about it, but I was just stunned.  It was the first time I had ever experienced an asshole like that.  In five years of active duty (April 2001-April 2006), I'd had so many people shake my hand, buy me a drink, say "thank you", etc.  Either that, or people just said nothing - never had some shitbird started to live out his 1968 protestor fantasy with me. It was just weird, like an out of body experience.

radar - I'm aware that it's all far too late now, but you do realize that you could have probably found a veteran-friendly lawyer and sued the ever-loving shit out of that manager, the company,  and everyone in between at your discretion, right?

That place could be currently named "RADAR AUTO AUCTION."

""It's gone! Everything...gone!""

What ABC  edited out:  she was talking about all the  downtown  rush-hour traffic.

OK, in all seriousness, there are some homes that are getting flooded.  I believe up to two feet of floodwaters?  Which is enough to ruin a house.  Not literally wash it all away, but ruin pretty much the whole thing, and most everything inside it.  But, someone in the throes of  despair, using hyperbole, will absolutely give the  MFM all it needs to take her statement and present it as literal fact.

I meant a  good argument can be made for DIS-continuing OUR presence.

Need typing skills.

I  think that would be  a  good line to use when criticizing Obama on foreign policy:

"Any person who has played Risk understands global politics better than Obama."

Or something like that.

And just for the record - I DON'T expect anyone to make a big deal about military service.  A simple "thanks" is nice, but I never cared or thought less of anyone that didn't do that, and quite frankly I was embarrassed when anyone called me a "hero".  Hero is a word that should be reserved for those who are truly heroic in combat, not for every wrench-turner in uniform on Al-Asad.  Saying thanks is nice, saying nothing is fine, but anyone denigrating military service is just begging to be kicked in the balls.

In any case, by the time someone first mentioned it to me, it had been three or four years so I figured it was a dead issue by then.

Ab-so-lutely! This times 1000. I saw a man in a jacket with a Vietnam service patch on the back in 7-11 last year. I asked him if he served in Vietnam, and he said yes. I shook his hand and said "I just want to thank you for your service", then I went and got my coffee. I happened to get in line behind him and he turned and said "You know, you made my day". I nodded at him and said "And you just made mine, sir.". A service man or woman in line behind me at Chic-Fil-e is going to find that their money is no good when they gets to the register. Anyone who doesn't realize - and honor! - what these folks give up for us is an ungrateful fool.

I've said  it before, but Bush had the right stratgey regarding Afganistan and Iraq.  Afganistan is  a  tribal country living in the stone-age.  Iraq was always going to be more strategically important.  Obama  could not possibly understand that.  Because the liberal mindset is incapable of seeing  it.

Damn straight.

I actually had a Vietnam Vet buy my beer one night. Party at a buddy's house bout a year ago. I stayed sober so they sent me on a beer run. I'm standing in line juggling a CRAP LOAD of beer. Guy turns around and says "Damn. I'm partying with this guy tonight. I didn't drink that much when I got back from Nam." So I start talking to him, thank him for his service. He tells me about how basically his entire family served. I thank him again. He puts his stuff on the counter and it comes up to $9 and change. He slaps a twenty down and goes "The change is for this good guy behind me." Then grabs his stuff and walks out. I was so stunned I could barely get out a thank you.

Don't make the same mistake I did.

Not only is there no way to "Win" in Afghanistan,  there is no reason to?

But   what constitutes winning in Afganistan  is not the same as it was in Germany, Japan, and even Iraq.  The  three latter were all industrious countries.  The former is a tribal wasteland.  The goal with the latter was to turn them into productive industrious countries who did not have the power to wage war, but while also acting as a check on the Russians, Chinese, and  Iran.

For Afghanistan, we can  go in there when needed, take out certain targets, and just keep it as a tribal wasteland.

It can't be.  Sheppy hasn't discovered any dead people yet.

Again?!  Wasn't she just on (scolding Gabby Douglas)?

I think it's time to move   beyond merely     poking the head Ewok with a stick, and move on to actively beating him with the stick and howling, "BREATHE, DAMMIT, BREATHE!"

@366 - fun fact, Speedo makes regular swimwear,  not just 'nanner hammocks.

I know this because I have one.  Mrs. Reason bought it for me a couple years ago.  She was out buying bathing suits for herself and the kids, and felt that I needed a new one as well.  She called me when she got home, "Hey, just got home from Academy.  Got the kids new suits.  Got one for you too.  It's nice.  It's a Speedo."

"....uh....that's great dear.  I'm simultaneously  flattered and embarassed."

It's like a normal pair of trunks.  And if I must say, I look smashing in them.

No, I think it's just our fingers that don't work.

is cunsplay some type of word play on another term?

It's a play on the    Japanese     term "cosplay," or "costume play," which is when someone dresses up like a character from a comic book or TV show, or like a more generic character (princess, knight, astronaut).      Think Comic Con.

OK I'll throw my guess out there -

Mark Levin

Where is he at this moment?

Over/under on Meggie Mac appearing on MSDNC and CNN to complain about Republicans.

She'd    curse Republicans to hell and sing a hymn to Obama    if MSDNC offered her a     bowl of Cheetos and a Fresca.

"It's a play off cosplay which is short for costume play. "

Yes.  Like when a bunch of  anime-fans all get together at a convention and all dress up like their favorite  characters.

Male dorks in suits made out of cardboard.  And girls in incredible cheesecake.  And sometimes, less-credible cheesecake.

But instead of a bunch of people dressed up like Bubblegum Crisis, I'm instead making fun of all the Code Pink harridans dressing up like vjj's.

TANGENTAL - I know already I am not the only Moron familiar with  Cowboy Bebop.  However, am I the only one that knows of the Hideous Cosplay Abberation known as Man-Faye?

CUT/PASTE

works for me

"My brain, it burns!!!"

DO NOT IMAGE SEARCH MANFAYE.  NSFHumanity.

Have to admit I needed to look that one up.  Now I wish I hadn't.

My biggest fear is that if I die suddenly, someone will be searching my hard drive and find this.

Now what would be great is if it got heated and it ended up with a bunch of costumed protesters chasing each other around the park.

"Oh gawd--with the Ewok beside him!"

AP:  *yawn*  Wha...what time  is it?  Oh shit.  I need to get on the computer..."

ace:  Shut up.  You aren't done spooning me.

AP:  You don't understand!  If I don't get up, Ed's gonna  take over the blog. 

ace:  Nope.  Get back here.  I'm cold.

AP:  *whispers to himself*  Forgive me, Megan...

Oh, WTF?   According to The Hollywood Reporter (via Drudge), MICHAEL DOUGLAS is going to play Ronald Reagan an an indie film     called Reykjavik, about the meeting between Reagan and     Gorbachev in 1986.   As if it's not bad enough that MICHAEL DOUGLAS is going to play Ronnie, here's     a little background on the production company:

Participant Media, whose mandate is to create awareness of the issues that shape lives, will finance the $10 million film, which is scheduled to begin shooting in March in Germany. Participant is no stranger to hot-button political topics, having backed the Oscar-winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth as well as upcoming films whose subjects range from Abraham Lincoln to Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet.

Their mission statement, btw, is,    "Entertainment that inspires and compels social change. "

This spoon.   Gag me with it.

Sacrifical Lamb bro...to run cover for them so they can claim to be impartial while carrying Obama's water "unexpectedly"

Watching Obama now at some school in Virginia trying to speak without a teleprompter. 

He's fucking it up.  Lots of stuttering and he's got the crowd confused. 

I made zero (0) new friends in this thread.

Obama is a ManFaye of a Miserable Failure.
