Our CIC

"BHO (Obama) wouldn't authorize
the DEVGRU/NSWC SEAL teams ..."


This was sent to me by agent rahouey for verification.  It smells like Clinton in Somalia, but I'll wait for verification before going nuts.

Having spoken to some SEALs here in Virginia Beach yesterday and asking why this thing dragged out for 4 days, the following info emerged.

1.  BHO (Obama) wouldn't authorize the DEVGRU/NSWC SEAL teams to the scene for 36 hours going against OSC (on scene commander) recommendation.
2.  Once they arrived, BHO imposed restrictions on their ROE that they couldn't do anything unless the hostage's life was in "imminent" danger.
3.  The first time the hostage jumped, the SEALS had the raggies all sighted in, but could not fire due to ROE restriction.
4.  When the na vy RIB came under fire as it approached with supplies, no fire was returned due to ROE restrictions.  As the raggies were shooting at the RIB, they were exposed and the SEALS had them all dialed in.
5.  BHO specifically denied two rescue plans developed by the Bainbridge CPN and SEAL teams.
6.  Bainbridge CPN and SEAL team CDR finally decide they have the OpArea and OSC authority to solely determine risk to hostage.  4 hours later, 3 dead raggies
7.  BHO immediately claims credit for his "daring and decisive" behaviour.  As usual with him, it's BS.

So per our last email thread, I'm downgrading Oohbaby's performace to D-.  Only reason it's not an F is that the hostage survived.

Read the following accurate account.

Philips’ first leap into the warm, dark water of the Indian Ocean hadn’t worked out as20well. With the Bainbridge in range and a rescue by his country’s Navy possible, Philips threw himself off of his lifeboat prison, enabling Navy shooters onboard the destroyer a clear shot at his captors — and none was taken.

 The guidance from National Command Authority — the president of the United States, Barack Obama — had been clear: a peaceful solution was the only acceptable outcome to this standoff unless the hostage’s life w as in clear, extreme danger.

The next day, a small Navy boat approaching the floating raft was fired on by the Somali pirates — and again no fire was returned and no pirates killed. This was again due to the cautious stance assumed by Navy personnel thanks to the combination of a lack of clear guidance from Washington and a mandate from the commander in chief’s staff not to act until Obama, a man with no background of dealing with such issues and no track record of decisiveness, decided that any outcome other than a “peaceful solution” would be acceptable.

After taking fire from the Somali kidnappers again Saturday night, the on scene commander decided he’d had enough.

 Keeping his authority to act in the case of a clear and present danger to the hostage’s life and having heard nothing from Washington since yet another request to mount a rescue operation had been denied the day before, the Navy officer — unnamed in all media reports to date — deci ded the AK47 one captor had leveled at Philips’ back was a threat to the hostage’s life and ordered the NSWC team to take their shots.

Three rounds downrange later, all three brigands became enemy KIA and Philips was safe.

There is upside, downside, and spinside to the series of events over the last week that culminated in yesterday’s dramatic rescue of an American hostage.

Almost immediately following word of the rescue, the Obama administration and its supporters claimed victory against pirates in the Indian Ocean and [1] declared that the dramatic end to the standoff put paid to questions of the inexperienced president’s toughness and decisiveness.

Despite the Obama administration’s (and its sycophants’) attempt to spin yesterday’s success as a result of bold, decisive leadership by the inexperienced president, the reality is nothing of the sort.

What should have been a standoff lasting only hours — as long as it took the USS Bainbridge and its team of NSWC operators to steam to the location — became an embarrassing four day and counting standoff between a ragtag handful of criminals with rifles and a U.S. Navy warship.

Interrogation

We HAVE a POW!
Let's waterboard him!
Oh, so Scott thinks the people took to the streets to "air respectable views in a most civil fashion," does he? Like the posters with the signs calling President Obama "Chairman Maobama" and labeling him as Hitler, or making pointed references to his race? If that's "respectable," then why are they getting all upset about sly references to teabagging? Oh.... because it's gay. - "Nameless Cynic "

Filthy al-Qaeda fascists

Filthy al-Qaeda fascists
We're all excited here at the Barn Army, because we captured an enemy operative!  Well, okay, nameless cynic [hereafter NC] just walked in the door, but we ain't letting him go until after some water boarding forces him to give up his secrets.  The interrogation so far has been conducted in a cellar way down here, but I'm moving it into the open hall so nobody can accuse Samurai AG of riding him naked, and forcing him to wear funny hats. One of the secrets he knows is what hospital Obama was born in!

Rodger - Kapi'olani Medical Center for Women & Children in Honolulu, Hawaii. Which, incidentally, is in the United States of America (just so you know). [NC]

This is important, because so far nobody I've found can  identify a written statement or interview or recorded statement wherein Obama, himself, identifies which hospital he was born in?    In Dreams Obama said he found his original birth certificate while he was in high school, but has refused to produce it, or even state whether he was born in Queens or Kapi'olani.   NC is about to clear that up, it would appear by the strength of his bluster. Then we can put to rest that and other nagging questions about The Him's legal eligibility, if not his cognitive capabilities.  . Like:

Many reference materials say Obama was born at Kapiolani, including Wikipedia English version under the subject “Barack Obama."
But under the subject “Queens Hospital,” Wikipedia says Obama was born there. And Wikipedia Italian says this:

Barack Obama nacque al Queen’s Medical Center di Honolulu da Barack Hussein Obama Sr….

Wikipedia Geneology says Queens too.

And there’s this reference on Yahoo Answers:

Apparently, examination of the hospitals’ records in Hawaii have shown no birthing records for Ann Dunham Obama even though there is a registry of the birth in the public records office a week after his date of birth it does not show his place of birth.

BTW NC, I am relying extensively on the work of erstwhile rabid democrats like TD's blog, and even lunatics like  democraticunderground.com below.I suggest spending time at Texas Darlin's, because you've obviously got the DU script pretty much memorized. 


 Moving on.  You'll understand our reluctance about recognizing any claims made by lefty activists claiming to have had extensive military service, and inside knowledge -- what with the extensive record of phony soldiers you guys have foisted upon us. Anyway, true or no, your supposed service doesn't mean crap in the battle. I do find it disingenuous at best, and cold hearted otherwise, that a husband and father of three would see them murdered by Islamo fascists before using comparatively benign methods like water boarding to make high ranking al Qaeda scum bags reveal details that would forestall that attack. I'm going with disingenuous.

Your angst over Tax Party participants "calling President Obama 'Chairman Maobama' and labeling him as Hitler,"  confirm it.

Finally, this.   "Evading" was what Bush did. (I'm not sure what to call it when you claim an ass-pimple, like Rush did."   You know, it's crap like this that's caused me to despair of making the effort of debating  programmed knuckleheads like you.  "Avoidance," as in avoiding the draft and taxes, is as all-American as apple-pie.  Staying in college and getting deferred is not against the law.  Taking legitimate income tax deductions is not against the law.  Evasion, in both cases, is a felony.  George W. Bush served honorably in the Texas Air National Guard.  Bill Clinton evaded the draft, and is still, apparently, evading paying income tax.   Of course there's that Unprecedented Level of Tax Evasion Among Obama Appointees

Return with us to the thrilling days of yesteryear ..
when pinko democrats screwed the pooch
This 1934 Chicago Tribune political cartoon Merrily laid on me is just precious.  I don't need to add much.  Eight years after FDR took office, the depression was as bad, or worse than when he arrived. But in the process Roosevelt, using a solid Democrat congressional majority, and a less than heroic Supreme Court, had irrevocably put the nation on the road to serfdom.  World War II ended the depression. 

Henry Wallace, shown shoveling OPM into the street, was an ardent communist who would become Roosevelt's VP in 1936. At the end of World War II, as historian Allen Weinstein has revealed, Wallace even arranged a secret meeting with the NKVD's Washington station chief, offering him access to American scientists working on the atomic bomb.  

By a stroke of luck, FDR dumped him in Favor of Truman in 1944, or we'd have had our first communist president 54 years before Obama.

Ickes is the father of Hillary guru Harold Ickes, and all we need  say about that is --  acorn.

Obama Sluts - The Series

Meet Randi Rhodes Rosa Brooks
Obama administration's new adviser to Michelle Fluornoy, the undersecretary of
defense for policy, a position described as one of the most influential in the Pentagon.

Rosa Brooks Auditions
Sorry, it's so easy to confuse Rhodes, the foul-mouthed Air-America nut job with this one. Matter of fact, nobody has ever seen them together in the same room.
Pentagon official blames U.S. for al-Qaida attacks
Worked for George Soros, argued for government control of media


She believes al-Qaida was an "obscure group" turned into a massive threat due to U.S. policies.

She's referred to former President Bush as "our torturer in chief" and a "psychotic who need(s) treatment" while comparing Bush's arguments for waging a war on terrorism to Adolf Hitler's use of political propaganda.

She's worked on behalf of George Soros' philanthropic foundation.

Meet Rosa Brooks, the Obama administration's new adviser to Michelle Fluornoy, the undersecretary of defense for policy, a position described as one of the most influential in the Pentagon.

"I prefer to think of (my new position) as my personal government bailout," Brooks wrote in a departing piece at the Los Angeles Times, where she served as a regular columnist.

These fuckers are a thrill a minute, ain't they? 

Where I explain everything

It is told ... 
Unlike my worthy political opposites, a.k.a. leftwing-arseholes, I have an open mind on any, and every subject.  One of them is space foreigners (CNN tweak).  Habitués know that I've considered the possibility.  That any explanation for what's happened to the United States in the past 50 years must always come down to them.  Space invaders. Yes, evil forces began infiltrating c. 1948, and all of them wear the mark of the beast. (D) This of course corresponds with the Apocalypse, as foretold in the Book of Revelation. 

But wait.  Okay, you're not into religion.  Don't matter.  The same prophecies have been substantively a part of every culture known to man.  As a child I was a follower of a native American,  Chief Thunderthud, and his daughter Princess Summerfall Winterspring.  I quote the Chief from memory:
And then a heap dark evil will descend from the sky, and many of the peanuts (youngsters in Injun lingo) will welcome them because they will promise heap big free wampum and honey.  But soon will begin the killing, and the gnashing, and the noshing, and a great terror will permeate the land.  But then, as if the sun fell  from the sky, the light of 10 mickwmhahas (approx. 3 billion) flaming torches, reflecting from silver swords carried by the avengers will appear.  A  great battle will ensue, and the light shall prevail over the dark, and all who resisted the dark-one will live 10 feet of toes mickwmhaha harvests, swimming in milk and buffalo meat, and have all the nookahommy they desire, and never have a fallen staff. The others; they will burn.  
So, there you have it.  If you travel the fringe radio airwaves in the middle of the night, as I do, you'll have heard a good deal about this.  What's fascinating is that all of them say it will happen this year. The full invasion force of the evil ones. I'm just saying. Kowa-freaking-bonga! How long must I wait for my milk and nookahommy?

Sean Hannity interviews Dick Cheney on the subject




In an interview with FOX News' Sean Hannity aired on "Hannity" Monday night, Cheney questioned the point of releasing the legal decisions behind the interrogations but not the outcome of them. 

"One of the things that I find a little bit disturbing about this recent disclosure is they put out the legal memos, the memos that the CIA got from the Office of Legal Counsel, but they didn't put out the memos that showed the success of the effort," Cheney said. 

Cheney said he's asked that the documents be declassified because he has remained silent on the confidential information, but he knows how successful the interrogation process was and wants the rest of the country to understand. 

"I haven't talked about it, but I know specifically of reports that I read, that I saw, that lay out what we learned through the interrogation process and what the consequences were for the country," Cheney said. "I've now formally asked the CIA to take steps to declassify those memos so we can lay them out there and the American people have a chance to see what we obtained and what we learned and how good the intelligence was."




   The former vice president says the biggest task he had was to protect the nation's security following 9/11 and to ensure such devastation would never happen again.  He says many of the policies he set up are currently being dismantled by the Obama administration.

"There's a great temptation for a new administration to find a problem and blame it on the predecessor.  We did it.  The Obama administration is not the first one to do that," said Cheney.

Since his departure from the White House, Cheney says he's been concerned over the way the U.S. has been presented overseas and finds Obama's apologies to various countries "disturbing." He also feels Obama's "coziness" with America's opponents like Daniel Ortega and Hugo Chavez is not "helpful."

"Since the U.S. provides most leadership in the world,  I don't think we have much to apologize for," said Cheney.

While he feels that a president needs to interact with adversaries, Cheney says it's important to distinguish between the good guys and bad guys.  He says that the world will be quick to take advantage of a situation if they feel like they're dealing with a weak president.

"It's important the U.S. that we don't come off as arrogant -- but also important to not come across as weak, indecisive and apologetic," said Cheney.

Getting Hired Here Boss
A guy went to the Post Office to apply for a job.

The interviewer asked him, 'Are you allergic to anything?
He replied, 'Yes - caffeine.'

'Have you ever been in the military service?'
'Yes,' he replied. 'I was in Iraq for two years.'
The interviewer said, 'That will give you 5 extra points toward employment.

Then he asked,'Are you disabled in any way?'
The guy said, Yes....an IED exploded near me and I lost both of my testicles.
The interviewer grimaced and then said,'O.K. You've got enough points for me to hire you right now.
Our normal hours are from 8:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. You can start tomorrow at 10:00 - and plan on starting at 10:00 A.M. . .every day.

The guy was puzzled and asks, 'If the work hours are from 8:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. , why don't you want me to be here until 10:00 A.M. ?

'This is a union job', the interviewer said.

'For the first two hours, we just stand around drinking coffee and scratching our balls. No point in you coming in for that'.

Why do you call them "filthy" Rodge?

Just unbelievable ... 
.. from a state that's mostly unbelievable to begin with.
I'd been at Coalinga a couple of days when Mr Rigby showed me his dormitory. He'd been a high school sports coach before being convicted of molesting some of his students.

He told me he was a great appreciator of the male physical form.

Above his bed were photos of classical statues of male nudes. These gave me pause, since I knew some paedophiles like to justify their proclivities by citing the ancient Greeks' famous enthusiasm for pederasty.

There was also a reproduction of a painting of young male ballet dancers, which had a definite erotic overtone. I asked one of Mr Rigby's social workers, who was standing by, if it was okay for patients to have mildly sexual imagery on their walls, especially since it seemed to me it was in the area of the patient's offences. He said it was - "as long as they're of age". (Cont)


What can I say, except the obvious.  Our House of Representatives is currently controlled by the same people who come up with this crap.  What's our self defense?  The ballot?  Don't make me laugh harder than I already am.  Elections mean nothing anymore.  Okay, maybe I'm wrong.  Raise your hand if you trust voting integrity in the state you live in.  See? But if you raised your hand, and live in one of these states +MN, then ...  well, I have to think you're daft or terminally ignorant.

Thanks to L. O'Grady for the tip.

Who Captured the Beauty?

Stuck on Stupid Eligibility Questions

Clueless in  Seattle  - YIKES!!!
In a  Seattle   Washington  college classroom, they were discussing the qualifications to be President of the  United States . It was pretty simple the candidate must be a natural born citizen of at least 35 years of age.

However, one girl in the class immediately started in on how unfair was the requirement to be a natural born citizen. In short, her opinion was that this requirement prevented many capable individuals from becoming president. The class was taking it in and letting her rant, but everyone's jaw hit the floor when she wrapped up her argument by stating, 'What makes a natural born citizen any more qualified to lead this country than one born by C-section?'

Yep, these are the 18 year olds.  I think we are in deep trouble.
That sent by my son and protégé, which I'll use as a segue into you-know-what.   That's right, Obammy's eligibility.  I've been wondering why Obama would proffer a forged document when it's so easy to get a "legitimate" false COLB from Hawaii?  It only takes an affidavit.

As a prime example “The Father of Modern China” Dr. Sun Yat-Sen was issued a Hawaiian Certificate of Live Birth, by giving false information to the State of Hawaii.

http://sites.google.com/site/obamabirth/Home/obama-short-form-birth-certificate

In this Typewritten Certificate of Hawaiian Birth dated March 14, 1904, Dr. Sun Yat-Sen signed an affidavit that he was born in Hawaii on Nov. 24, 1870 (in reality he was born in China in 1866).

Here's a site where I felt I could get some answers.  It led to this summary, which is interesting because it contains documents I hadn't seen before.  Like those John McCain was forced to present to a senate committee inquiring into his eligibility, but never asked of Obama. There is NOT a chance in hell that Obama isn't hiding something, and I will bet money that he is holding his current office illegally. At this point he certainly appears to be "The Father of The United Socialist States."

'Exercising Right' Called 'Unreasonable' by Some

Guns Worn In Open Legal, But Alarm Va.
'Exercising Right' Called 'Unreasonable' by Some

By Tom Jackman
Washington Post Staff Writer
Thursday, July 15, 2004; Page A01

On July 2, Fairfax County police received a 911 call from a Champps restaurant in Reston. Six men are seated at a table, the caller said. They're all armed.

Dispatchers quickly sent four officers to the scene. The officers were "extremely polite" and were hoping that some of the men were in law enforcement, said Sgt. Richard Perez, a spokesman for the police department. None was.

The men told the officers "they were just exercising their rights as citizens of the commonwealth," Perez said.

Turns out, packing a pistol in public is perfectly legal in Virginia. And three times in the last month, including at Champps on Sunset Hills Road, residents have been spotted out and about in the county, with guns strapped to their hips, exercising that right.

In the first episode, at a Starbucks, Fairfax police wrongly confiscated weapons from two college students and charged them with a misdemeanor. Police realized their mistake, returned the guns and tore up the charges the next day. Police commanders have since issued a reminder to officers that "open carry" is the law of the land in the Old Dominion.

Forty-four states have a provision in their state constitutions similar to the Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights (the exceptions are California, Iowa, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, and New York)

The following states have no stated restrictions, or specifically allow Open Carry without a permit, some with provisions similar to Arizona.  Corrections will be appreciated.
Concealed carry requires a permit. Open carry is legal without a permit in most places where it is legal for permit holders to carry concealed and law enforcement is well-versed as to its legality. With holsters the gun can be partly covered; if no holster is present the firearm needs to be completely revealed. - AZ

That's Tea Bagging .. or teahagging in this instance
Here's  a slew of pictures from the Tea Party ..

This morning around 4 AM I was surfing XM radio, in bed, with earphones on, and "clicker" in hand.  I landed on two talk show guys, and I wasn't about to open my eyes to look at the ID screen, I was trying to sleep afterall. .  A quick look at the XM's  line-up this morning suggests it may have been Covino & Rich, because they're the only talk show listed in the vicinity at that time. Anyway, here were two guys, which conversation sounded like this:
GUY#1
So wow, did you watch any of the Tea Party news?

What a joke.  They  really outdid themselves in stupidity with this, and that's saying something.


GUY#1 Who's "they?"

GUY#1 Is that who was doing  this?  I think there were a lot of Libertarians  there too.


Jerk I don't care, this was rght-wing financed and they made fools of themselves, and don't even know it.

Frankenstein

 greGoire Frankenstine
FWIW, check this fool's selfserving logic - "we cheated but where's the proof?"

This is how I blogged the Coleman-Franken race on November 8th ..
Why is Norm Coleman the luckiest guy in the country right now?  Because he has a 438 vote lead over Al Franken for Minnesota's U.S. Senate seat.

I know what you're saying, "But Rodge, why would he be that happy?  There's going to be a recount?

That's right.  And that's why I ran out and checked whether ACORN had a presence in Minnesota. And, yes they did.  Oh yes.  That means there is not a chance in hell that Sen. Coleman cannot find as many fraudulent votes as might be necessary so shove Franken out of our lives.  Not only that, ACORN's fraudulent activity has been so well documented and publicized, that the Minnesota media will hardly be able to spin out  of any such discoveries.

PS. I see that North Carolina has just gone to Obama. Everything I said about ACORN in Minnesota goes quadruple for NC. If he GOP doesn't fight this tooth and nail, then shame on them. (They didn't - so they're dead to me)
So, was I wrong?  Yes - because a  three-judge panel reviewing the race has declared Democrat Al Franken the winner. And no, because my reasoning was spot-on.  I foolishly underestimated how brazenly corrupt the democrats are become.  Which is why I'm firmly in the secessionist camp.   Not only was an obvious fraud perpetrated, but ACORN is rewarded with $5.2 Billion Dollars to carry on the tradition.  As we are discovering with each new day, the old United States is dead in all but an ideal to be rekindled. ASAP.

Cesspool of the Americas
Obama  finds his comfort zone
Gateway Pundit notes that Latin American leaders continued to pile on the US at the Summit of the Americas on Saturday.  And what of President Zero?  Obama defends himself, but not his country. 
Barack Obama defended himself from attacks aimed at America today- but would not defend the United States.
And, he was wrong on his history.
FOX News reported:

    In his 17-minute address to the summit, Obama departed from his prepared remarks to mildly rebuke Ortega.

    "To move forward, we cannot let ourselves be prisoners of past disagreements. I'm grateful that President Ortega did not blame me for things that happened when I was three months old. Too often, an opportunity to build a fresh partnership of the Americas has been undermined by stale debates. We've all heard these arguments before."

    Actually, the president misspoke on the sequence of events in Cuba. The invasion of CIA-trained rebels at the Bay of Pigs in Cuba occurred in April 1961. Obama was born August 4, 1961.

So, wanna do it again?

Say three Hail Mary's and make a good act of contrition.

Keystone Cop Security

Officials claim no risk, unless it " lands in the wrong hands."

Federal authorities are accusing a former engineer at Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station of illegally taking software codes to Iran and downloading details of control rooms, reactors and designs of the nation's largest nuclear plant.

Officers arrested Mohammad "Mo" Alavi, 49, in Los Angeles this month and charged him with one count of violating a trade embargo, which prohibits Americans from exporting goods and services to Iran.

Hmmm.  Muslim infiltrates Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, and sends software to Iran.  I know what you're thinking, but you're wrong.  There is absolutely nothing to be worried about.

Authorities say there is no evidence to suggest the use of the software was linked to terrorists or the Iranian government, which has clashed with the U.S. over attempts to develop a nuclear program.

Officials with Arizona Public Service Co., which operates Palo Verde, said the software does not pose a security risk because it doesn't control any of the nuclear plant's operating systems and is mostly used to train employees.

But they acknowledged that they changed procedures after the incident to prohibit former employees from accessing software when they leave the company. No such procedure was in place when Alavi quit APS in August after working there for 16 years.

A Nuclear Regulatory Commission official said Friday that "this incident has not compromised plant security."

Who was the Arizona Gov. that put this process in place?  That's right, Janet Napolitano, now the head of  the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.  The same "diligent" watchdog whose first act was compile a report on the dangers posed by "right wing extremists" who believe in the 10th Amendment. "Has not compromised plant security," indeed.  That's why a federal judge refused bail, noting that he was too great a risk to flee.

Alavi's most important associations - family, home, business investment, intended employment and future plans - are all with Iran, not the United States.

Here's the real kicker ...

Alavi faces up to 21 months in prison if convicted of the charge. One factor in determining any sentence could be whether the software and schematics of Palo Verde landed in the wrong hands

Wow - a whole 21 months! Mohammad Alavi had already returned to Iran, where he invested in a company, and owns a home.  He only returned to the United States to " join his wife, who arrived in the United States two weeks earlier to give birth to their child."  How nice.  Now this future "Barry Alavi" won't have to bother with an ersatz Hawaiian certificate of American birth. Oh yeah. Alavi has a $200,000 retirement fund waiting for him in the U.S.

Throw a brick when you've heard enough. 

UPDATE
 The CBC News reported last night (4-17-09) a Toronto man (an Iranian immigrant and Canadian citizen for ten years) was arrested for attempting to export high tech pressure transducers (used in the refining of uranium) through Dubai into Iran. The devices were purchased from a manufacturer in Boston.  Thought you should know.  I'm becoming more Islamophobic every day.   ---Tim DB

Hot Fuzz the Movie

HOT FUZZ

I would not in a hundred years rent a flick titled Hot Fuzz.  I'm still not sure how I came sit long enough to watch the beginning, but once started I couldn't stop.  Then, I watched it again the next day, because it made me feel good to do so.  That's how it's supposed to work.  In case you're interested.

State of the Nation


The economy is so bad:

CEO's are now playing miniature golf.

Even people who have nothing to do with the Obama administration aren't paying their taxes.

Hotwheels and Matchbox stocks are trading higher than GM.

McDonalds is selling the 1/4 Ouncer

People in Beverly Hills fired their nannies and learned their children's names.

A truck of Americans got caught sneaking into Mexico .

The most highly-paid job is now jury duty.

People in Africa are donating money to Americans.

Motel Six won’t leave the light on.

The Mafia is laying off judges.

Congress says they are looking into the Bernard Madoff scandal. So, let’s see if I understand this correctly, the guy that made $50 billion disappear is being investigated by the people who made $750 billion disappear.

Secession session

1. Across
Six Letter Word for Impeach


In the spirit of academic debate ...

Is there a dumber proposition than "Does Texas Have the Right to Secede?"  Secede meaning, "we ain't playing that no more." Secede meaning "adios muthafarkers."   You may as well ask whether a prisoner has a right to break out of jail?  If the con evades recapture,  it's a  fait accompli.

If you're still worried about the constitutionality of it, there is no restriction mentioned.  In 1861 eleven states declared their secession from the U.S., and that was that. They then lost a war to invading Union armies, and were forced back.  That's the law known as  "Might makes Right." The only law that matters in such circumstaces.  Same stakes today. 

If Texas, or any number of other states want out of this, excuse me for being blunt, gulag waiting to happen, all it takes is agreement by a state legislature, and a governor's signature.  It's understood that no elected body makes that move without overwhelming support from the constituency, so there's your army.

There's also a fundamental difference by comparison to the ill-fated Confederacy.  Nukes.  All it takes is one, and you hold the trump card.  Especially if the other side are mainly comprised  of pasty face liberal canker-blossoms, whose major concern, after their own precious hides of course, is the ecology.  It seems to me then, the question to be answered is this.  Is our present government legitimately elected, and operating constitutionally?  Everyone has to answer that question for themselves., and live or die with the consequences.  Freedom ain't cheap.  If it was, everyone would have some.

Poor babies ...

Excuse Moi?
In light of the furor displayed by memory challenged media over The Great American Tea Party, this blast from the recent past is in order.
