While our president continues to completely ignore N. Korea’s saber rattling, and all you pacifists have been proven wrong about how effective talking with them could be, our military is ready to kick some ass.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates is playing down the tensions stemming from North Korea’s nuclear and missile tests this week, but the Army’s top officer says the U.S. could fight an old-fashioned war against the communist regime if necessary.
Asked whether the American forces would be prepared to fight if war broke out between South Korea and North Korea, Gen. George Casey replied, “The short answer is yes.” But he added that it would probably take a little bit longer to “shift gears” away from the type of counterinsurgency fighting that now occupies the Army.
Casey said his usual rule for how long it would take the Army to gear up for a new “conventional” war is about 90 days. But he says that doesn’t mean it would take 90 days for the U.S. to effectively fight the North’s million-man army.
AMERICA … F**K YEAH! COMIN AGAIN TO SAVE THE MOTHERF**KING DAY YEAH!
A letter posted by the Taliban threatening violence on girls who attend school.
They aren’t even trying to hide the fact that they murder children anymore. The Taliban used to blame us for any youth deaths, but we all knew (well, the sane among us knew) that it was the Taliban murdering children.
Responding to threats from the Taliban, at least 10 girls’ schools have shut down near Kunduz in northern Afghanistan. Visiting the schools is a dangerous proposition — a trip leading directly into the heart of Islamist territory.
When the deputy director of Aqtash High School talks of the government, he isn’t referring to Hamid Karzai’s central government in Kabul. Nor does he refer to the provincial administration in Kunduz. “The Taliban are our government,” Bashir says. “They have taken over our region, their commanders give the orders here.”
Bashir is standing in a dusty classroom on the ground floor of his modern school, roughly half an hour from Kunduz by car. As recently as just one month ago, he says, some 400 girls were still coming to the school in three daily shifts to learn reading, writing and arithmetic. Figures and formula are still scrawled across the blackboard.
But now, the girls’ classrooms have been left to deteriorate. The desks and chairs are still laid out in neat rows, but a film of dust has collected, and Bashir stands helplessly in the middle of the room. “Parents in Aqtash are afraid to send their girls to school anymore, after the death threats,” he explains.
Still waiting for the feminist movement to get behind our efforts in Afghanistan. Yep … still waiting.
Earlier I posted about the Texas woman who was forced to take down her “offensive” American flag she displayed for Memorial Day. She is also a blue star mother.
Today I noticed a story in my local news about a veteran who woke up on Memorial Day to find that his flag had been burned by a vandal.
It’s one Las Vegas man’s yearly Memorial Day tradition: flying his American flag. But what Charles Husband discovered early Sunday morning shocked and saddened him. The flag he so proudly displayed had been burned.
Since we brought you this story Sunday, several veterans came forward to donate their flags.
“I didn’t see it waving,” Husband explains. “I looked and it was burnt.”
It was a bad case of vandalism which turned into patriotism. “It symbolizes America – how beautiful it is,” said Husband.
When word got out that Charles Husband’s flag had been burned, veterans like Jeff Durbin were watching and took action. “I went on the website. I started looking for companies (that would) deliver (to him) rapidly… good quality.”
There is a lot of misinformation out there about card check. The one question I would ask union supporters is why would the union not support showing your ID for political elections, but want you to show your ID during union elections? There is clear hypocrisy there.
NPRI has a great post on their new blog about it with a few videos explaining exactly what card check means, and what will happen if passed.
NPRI’s post has a couple more videos that are shorter, and more humor based. Including a video from a former union organizer explaining exactly why unions want this passed. Check it out here.
A Texas woman put up an American flag for Memorial Day, and was told to remove it because it was offensive to a coworker.
Debbie McLucas is one of four hospital supervisors at Kindred Hospital in Mansfield. Last week, she hung a three-by-five foot American flag in the office she shares with the other supervisors.
When McLucas came to work Friday, her boss told her another supervisor had found her flag offensive. “I was just totally speechless. I was like, ‘You’re kidding me,’” McLucas said.
McLucas’ husband and sons are former military men. Her daughter is currently serving in Iraq as a combat medic.
Stifling a cry, McLucas said, “I just wonder if all those young men and women over there are really doing this for nothing.”
McLucas said the supervisor who complained has been in the United States for 14 years and is formerly from Africa. McLucas said the supervisor took down Debbie’s flag herself.
“The flag and the pole had been placed on the floor,” McLucas said. But McLucas also said hospital higher ups had told her some patients’ families and visitors had also complained.
“I was told it wouldn’t matter if it was only one person,” she said. “It would have to come down.”
Sooner or later, former professional sports athletes are going to have to realize that they are not the athletes MMA fighters are. This includes boxers by the way. Unless they’ve been involved in martial arts for a good portion of their life, they step in with MMA fighters and lose … quickly.
I don’t know, I guess they thought Obama was just kidding or something.
Wealthy Wall Street financiers and other business figures provided crucial support for Mr Obama during the election, backing him over the Republican candidate John McCain as the right leader to rescue the collapsing US economy.
But it is now dawning on many among them that Mr Obama was serious about his campaign trail promises to bring root and branch reform to corporate America – and that they were more than just election rhetoric.
A top Obama fundraiser and hedge fund manager said: “I’m appalled at the anti-Wall Street rhetoric. It was OK on the campaign but now it’s the real world. I’m surprised that Obama is turning out to be so left-wing. He’s a real class warrior.”
The best part of the article is when they start talking about congressional Democrats getting very nervous about his anti-charity stance. Give it a read.
I’ve had a ton of requests for more global warming information. I don’t focus on it as much as I did at the previous site, but I’ve started a link list to help you find global warming info quickly. I’m avoiding blog posts in the links wherever possible to maintain its integrity, but many blogs have helped in my research … especially GatewayPundit.
While I know man-made global warming to be a myth, Earth was warming for nearly a century due to natural cycles. That warming trend has ended for now, and we are currently cooling. Cooling, by the way is far more dire.
This information is not intended to be an attack on clean technology, or anti-pollution measures. We’ll take those issues on an individual basis, because some are good suggestions while others are asinine.
Please enjoy, and feel free to contribute to the list in the comments.
UPDATE ADDED December 2009
– Rather than post all links associated with Climategate, do a simple search for Climategate via your preferred search engine. Some of the links associated with Hadley falsifying global warming data will be contained within this list. However, the scandal is so massive it deserves it’s own list.
This list is ever growing, and changing. There is too much to put into one page, but we’ll try to get the most concise links to provide evidence to argue against man-made global warming.
If you have a suggestion to add to the site, please feel free to let me know.
I’ve been negligent in my updating of this site due to other obligations. Below are several links that should have been added to this list a long time ago. Thanks for your continued support.
