Thai Civil War?

If this is civil war, it IS being televised AND being Tweeted and blogged…

A brief recap: the people of Thailand elected their (parliamentary) government, but then people controlling the military seized control while the elected prime minister was out-of-country on official business.

The people of Thailand elected ANOTHER government, which was declared unusable by the Thai courts. So the people of Thailand elected ANOTHER government, but THAT was crippled and disallowed by some OTHER machinations and manipulations, so the people of Thailand took their grievance to the streets.

In December of 2008 there were demonstrations by a tiny, splinter group of Yellow-Shirted people supported by a powerful clique of moneyed backers. The demonstrators occupied the Thai national airports and ruined the Thai economy for most Thais for most of 2009.

Now the Red Shirt Ruckus is in its 9th week of active demonstration, seeking truth in government, honesty and trustworthiness in government and a meritocracy based on ability, not networks… much like Americans hunger for truth in government, honesty and trustworthiness in government, that cannot be found in Demoblicans OR Republicrats or Independents today…

And TODAY (May 19th, 167BE/2010 Common Era) Thailand awoke to televised images of armed troops being deployed around the encampments of the Red Shirts, with armored personnel carriers in the street in support of the troops moving against unarmed civilians.

Yes, the civilians have some molotov cocktails, and a weapon or two, and rocks… they also have children and women inside, despite ‘government’ warnings… this cuts to the very crux of the Thai problem: the ‘government’ is NOT one representing the will of the people of Thailand, but is a minority elite, forcing its will on Thailand by use of the Thai military against Thai citizens.

0800… the troops haven’t been unleashed yet… I’ll report more as it happens, IF it happens… else see you in an hour… http://www.icallbs.net/blog/

Greg Knox: Reality David VS Bailout Goliath

Republished in full, from our email Inbox this morning. (All emphasis added, formatting for clarity only)

`````````````````````````
Abridged letter from Troy Clarke, President of General Motors - followed by a response from our son, Gregory Knox:


Dear Employee,

Next week, Congress and the current Administration will determine whether to provide immediate support to the domestic auto industry to help it through one of the most difficult economic times in our nation's history. Your elected officials must hear from all of us now on why this support is critical to our continuing the progress we began prior to the global financial crisis...................

As an employee, you have a lot at stake and continue to be one of our most effective and passionate voices. I know GM can count on you to have your voice heard.

Thank you for your urgent action and ongoing support.

Troy Clarke President General Motors North America


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From Gregory Knox,

In response to your request to call legislators and ask for a bailout for the United States automakers please consider the following, and please also pass this onto Troy Clark, the president of General Motors North America for me.

You are both infected with the same entitlement mentality that has bred like cancerous germs in UAW halls for the last countless decades, and whose plague is now sweeping the nation, awaiting our new "messiah" to wave his magical wand and make all our problems go away, while at the same time allowing our once great nation to keep "living the dream".

The dream is over!

The dream that we can ignore the consumer for years while management myopically focuses on its personal rewards packages, at the same time that our factories have been filled with the worlds most overpaid, arrogant, ignorant and laziest entitlement minded "laborers", without paying the price for these atrocities and dreaming that still the masses will line up to buy our products

Don't tell me I'm wrong. Don't accuse me of not knowing of what I speak. I have called on Ford, GM, Chrysler, TRW, Delphi, Kelsey Hayes, American Axle and countless other automotive OEM's and Tier ones for 3 decades now throughout the Midwest and what I've seen over the years in these union shops can only be described as disgusting.

Mr Clark, the president of General Motors, states:

"There is widespread sentiment in this country, in our government, and especially in the media that the current crisis is completely the result of bad management. It is not."


You're right - it's not JUST management. How about the electricians who walk around the plants like lords in feudal times, making people wait on them for countless hours while they drag ass so they can come in on the weekend and make double and triple time for a job they easily could have done within their normal 40-hour week?

How about the line workers who threaten newbies with all kinds of scare tactics for putting out too many parts on a shift and for being too productive (mustn't expose the lazy bums who have been getting overpaid for decades for their horrific underproduction, must we)? Do you really not know about this stuff?

How about this great sentiment abridged from Mr. Clarke's sad plea:
"Over the last few years, we have closed the quality and efficiency gaps with our competitors."

What the hell has Detroit been doing for the last 40 years?!?

Did we really JUST wake up to the gaps in quality and efficiency between us and them?

The K car vs. the Accord?

The Pinto vs. the Civic?

Do I need to go on?

We are living through the inevitable outcome of the actions of the United States auto industry for decades.

Time to pay for your sins, Detroit ...

I attended an economic summit last week where a brilliant economist, Alan Beaulieu surprised the crowd when he said he would not have given the banks a penny of "bailout money". Yes, he said, this would cause short term problems, but despite what people like George Bush and Troy Clark would have us believe, the sun would in fact rise the next day. And something else would happen. Where there had been greedy and sloppy banks new efficient ones would pop up. That is how a free market system works. It does work . . . .if we would let it work.
But for some reason we are now deciding that the rest of the world is right and that capitalism doesn't work - that we need the government to step in and "save us". Save us? Hell, we're nationalizing. And unfortunately, too many of this once fine nation's citizens don't even have a clue that this is what's really happening. But they sure can tell you the stats on their favorite sports teams. Yeah - THAT'S important.

Does it occur to ANYONE that the "competition" has been producing vehicles, EXTREMELY PROFITABLY, for decades now in this country?....

How can that be???

Let's see:

* Fuel efficient

* Listening to customers

* Investing in the proper tooling and automation for the long haul

* Not being too complacent or arrogant to listen to Dr W Edwards Deming four decades ago

* Ever-increasing productivity through quality, learning and six-sigma plans

* Treating vendors like strategic partners, rather than like "the enemy"

* Efficient front and back offices

* Non-union environment.

Again, I could go on and on but I really wouldn't be telling anyone anything they really don't already know in their hearts. I have six children, so I am not unfamiliar with the concept of wanting someone to bail you out of a mess that you have gotten yourself into - my children do this on a weekly, if not daily basis, as I did at their age. I do for them what my parents did for me (one of their greatest gifts, by the way) - I make them stand on their own two feet and accept the consequences of their actions and work them through. Radical concept, huh.

Am I there for them in the wings? Of course - but only until such time as they can be fully on their own as adults. I don't want to oversimplify a complex situation, but there certainly are unmistakable parallels here between the proper role of parenting and government.

Detroit and the United States need to pay for their sins. Bad news people - it's coming whether we like it or not

The newly elected Messiah really doesn't have a magic wand big enough to "make it all go away". I laughed as I heard Obama "reeling it back in" almost immediately after the vote count was tallied. "We might not do it in a year.or in four." Where was that kind of talk when he was RUNNING for the office.

Stop trying to put off the inevitable. That house in Florida isn't worth $750,000.

People who jump across a border really don't deserve free health care and welfare benefits.

That job driving a forklift for the big 3 really isn't worth $85,000 a year.

We really shouldn't allow Wal-Mart to stock their shelves with products acquired from a country that unfairly manipulates their currency and has the most atrocious human rights infractions on the face of the globe.

That couple whose combined annual income is less than $50,000 really shouldn't be living in that $485,000 home.

Let the market correct itself people - it will. Yes it will be painful, but it's gonna be painful either way. And the bright side of my proposal is that on the other side of the pain is a nation that appreciates what it has, doesn't live beyond its means, gets back to basics, and redevelops the work ethic that made it the greatest nation in the history of the world, and probably turns back to God.

Sorry - don't cut my head off. I'm just the messenger sharing with you the "bad news".

The Ragged, Rising Storm



We here have no special divinely-guided foresight or unique forewarning… we just scrape our brains every now and then when we need it.

And this presidential election cycle has been most needful of it! Replete, over-flowing, rampant, stuffed to the gills… all across America… left, right and center…brain-scraping gurf, and we only have Citizen-Issue Spoons!

But the two lawsuits coming to critical junctures on or before December 2 of this year, in time to CHANGE the outcome of the Electoral College, deal with much more than simply whether or not Hussein Obama has sold Ice Cream to 40 Million Americans, or set up a minimally-expensive ‘Gotcha!’ to burn a small group of his detractors, who wanted him to show citizenship in America, as required by the United States Constitution.

No, these lawsuits (Keyes’ in California and Justice David Souter’s for the US Supreme Court) are about something much deeper, more profoundly disturbing and central to the lives of rational Americans, namely: whether America will continue to be a nation based on law, respect for the law, equal rights and equal responsibilities before the law?

Or will America choose (is America CHOOSING, right now?) to drift into rule by trickery, subterfuge, spin, hype, bloviation and coordinated lies and half-truths propagated by a wide range of entrenched orthodoxies calling themselves News Media?

For with any law-oriented outcome in either of the lawsuits demanding Mr Obama show documentary proof not only that he was BORN HERE, in America, but that Mr Obama did not acquire Indonesian citizenship as a minor, and hence lose his American citizenship at that time- Mr Obama (and his visible and less-visible supporters and sponsors) would be rather greatly inconvenienced by any ruling that does not allow him, under American law, to serve as president.

Greatly inconvenienced is hardly the word… and the Ice-Cream Third-Graders, all over 21, who voted him in would feel greatly embarrassed, frustrated, angry and victimized. They would feel deprived of their Ice Cream.

Because of these foreseeable outcomes, it is easy to surmise that much pressure is being brought to bear on the court justices hearing these arguments and making decisions, ostensibly in accord with Constitutional law, by December 2nd, that their decisions might somehow gloss over Mr Obama’s Kenyan birth, or his underage mother’s lack of sufficient time in America to bestow upon him legal citizenship, or his stepfather’s loving efforts to get Obama-the-Youth into a Jakarta school and therefore Obama’s acquired Indonesian citizenship.

Maybe the courts will find that, sure enough, Mr Obama has failed to demonstrate his American citizenship, and one or the other of the courts will rule that Mr Obama is ineligible to serve as president… only to have that ruling NOT publicized in ANY American newsprint paper and NOT ONCE spoken of on Mainstream (legacy) Media or Cable TV or any medium except the Internet and the blogosphere…

Then what? It’s Friday, December 5th, and Mr Obama has been found ineligible to serve as president, but nobody can be found to serve papers on him to step aside, and nobody outside of a tiny portion of the blogosphere knows of the ruling… what can be done?

Are YOU going to hand out copies of the District Court ruling, stuff them into the hands of laughing delegates to the Electoral College as they convene to vote? Will YOU raise your voice to go against the speeding train of ‘America’s First Black President’? Will YOU risk everything in order to re-establish government of the people, by the people and for the people BY LAW?

Because if you DON’T, if you are willing to go along with non-Americans ‘ruling’ America… If you are willing to let US troops (NOT the National Guard) be stationed INSIDE America… if you’re willing to work 10 hours a day for 5.2 hours’ pay so that your earnings can be ‘redistributed’ to people unwilling to WORK for their OWN wealth…

If you are willing to accept these and other indignities, then you will get the tyranny you so richly deserve, and will learn to lickspittle from the boots of your masters, marching off to Sensitivity Training to learn how to criticize yourself before a tribunal of your betters, your peers, your comrades… and it still will not save you.

Mr Obama’s friend William Ayers agrees that Obama’s government may have to eliminate (kill) upward of 25 MILLION PEOPLE in America, to get rid of the obstructionists and anti-government racists and other intelligentsia and ne’er-do-wells and holdouts and rednecks and homos and Jews and Bible-thumpers and Pope-lovers and Polacks and Baha’is and all the other ignorant, racist jerks who just don’t want to cooperate with America’s new masters!

Leave a comment or better yet, take the time to LEARN of Justice Souter’s decision and the outcome of the Keyes lawsuit and take them to your local newspaper and a television station near you and courteously DEMAND that they take this news to the citizens of a law-abiding America!

Thanks to the folks at http://www.ICallBS.net

Iran Considers Murdering Nobel Prize-Winner!

An Asia News report indicates that Iran is considering murdering Nobel Prize winner Shirin Ebadi.

Because she believes Jesus IS the Christ, come in Sonship and Divinity; and believes Christ has returned in the Glory of God!

Iran can't have any of THAT nonsense! The Qaim has come? The al-Mahdi has come in the Glory of God? And He forbids the power-hungry, racist elitism so favored by Muslim clerics?

Oh, no! We'll have none of THAT in Iran!

Defending Obama


I have a friend, executive type, VERY capable, and she's a native Kenyan, now back living in Nairobi sparkplugging an air-charter company for cargo and clients. She's very enthusiastic about Obama, and her enthusiasm was catching, so I set out to argue Obama's case, promote him, speak well of him, and started a list of good things about Obama.

First of all, there's the abundance of Dark Cloud Dispersion that follows Obama everywhere, and the leveling of seas and the cooling of the polar ice-caps when he needs it. Or their warming, as need be. Obama's rainbows make it easy for me to practice the Om Mane Padme Hum of Obama-Life and chant quietly, "See, Say Pwethay!"

Above that, there is the rational feminine pulchritude and the response of women at Obama's rallies and speeches, who logically insist that their hearts go pitty-pat and their thighs tingle. Its a level-headed, passionate and unrehearsed reaction to Obama's Plans for Hopeful Change. Hopeful women hear his plans and then realize they must change, their knickers and all, twisted or knot!

Better than that is Obama's effect on the sharp, hard-boiled reporters of our nations media. They grin and blush and ask Obama questions that Obama can answer without taking his eyes from the teleprompter! This is amazing! These brave, level-headed men and women KNOW HOW TO ASK the tough questions Americans need to make an informed decision, and by golly, those journalists and reporters KNOW the questions that need asking! And if they ask, Obama shifts gears and reminds them that 'we can CHANGE!' The reporters KNOW to avoid asking questions that might reflect poorly on Obama's principles, his vision or his cognitive ability. We must be Perfectly Clear, hey?

Further up the list is Obama's outreach to America in words such as 'never', 'the worst' and 'the most'... He has a knack for verbal spin, each little phrase a gyroscope toddling along a thread of not-really-Marxist better-than-Marxist social justice, which Obama and Michelle will impose on us for our own good, all ten years of his presidency. Or nine, whatever, but I never need to doubt that Obama is the one to 'fix' these 'worst' problems, Obama is the one Hillary's waiting for in Denver.

Just below middle on this list of attributes and characteristics that make Obama a force to be reckoned with is his ability to spend 20 years in a racist, 'black' theology church with an obviously hateful, bitter white man pretending to be black while he shouts 'God DAMN America!' and yet Obama WAS NOT INFLUENCED even a little bit. Honest. And Obama's life-long, unreconstructed bomb-using anti-American friends? Wow, what a guy! He supports ACORN without being a nut!

Just above middle in my list of things I'm trying to support in Obama is Michelle, his wife. Golly, she is a real piece of stuff, isn't she?

“Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zones. That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage. Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed.”
I mean, there it is, right? Michelle has figured it all out, seen that all of us are 'uninformed, uninvolved'; she saw right through 280 million American adults' hypocritical denial and phony productivity and self-reliant personal responsibility and she's going to be sure Obama DEMANDS and REQUIRES us to get with his program! Or else!

A few positions from the GREATEST THING about Obama on my list, is Obama's assurance and virtual assumption of the American presidency already! Holy mackerel, Obama is practicing positive imaging, and he uses that fake 'presidential seal' and Obama's dismissive non-pledge of allegiance and revisionist change of American protocol even BEFORE being elected, that lets him NOT place his hand on his heart and NOT recite the Pledge, because 'everyone KNOWS' Obama is a good citizen, and can change America hopefully, even when lesser creatures sneer that 'Change and Hope is NOT a plan!'

Near the top of this list is Obama's removal of the American flag, Old Glory, from the tail of his campaign airplane! Hey, that is DECISIVE, and classy! Better than Old Glory is the Big Red O, now on the tail. Let the 'Story of O' begin! Obama is bigger and MUCH MORE IMPORTANT than America, can't you SEE?

Just below the number one position on this list of Obama's good points is his refusal to waste time visiting American troops in Germany. That is just, well, words fail me when I try to find descriptions of how much this should rock America's complacency! Obama didn't want to frustrate or upset those wounded troops by telling them of his "End the War in Iraq No Matter What!" plan to withdraw troops on a timetable known to all the world. Obama knows that some of those small-minded losers who enlisted because they had no other options would probably have knee-jerk reactions against such a bold appeasement, so he decisively avoided the whole problem. Obama will continue in this strong, bold manner in his role as Commander-in-Chief-Executive.

And the number one positive attribute is Obama's ability to speak the foreign language of the Muslims, taqqiyeh, the forked-tongue language noted by Native Americans as 'politician-speak'. Other politicians speak evasively on things like national security, top secrets and critical national defense, but Obama has the demonstrated ability to lie convincingly about, well, nearly everything.

These are Obama's good points. I'm studying ways to let everyone I know hear of these. America should KNOW before making that November Decision, eh?

More Courageous Than the New York Times!

The full text of McCain's opinion piece rebutting Obama's New York Times op-ed:
In January 2007, when General David Petraeus took command in Iraq, he called the situation “hard” but not “hopeless.” Today, 18 months later, violence has fallen by up to 80% to the lowest levels in four years, and Sunni and Shiite terrorists are reeling from a string of defeats. The situation now is full of hope, but considerable hard work remains to consolidate our fragile gains.

Progress has been due primarily to an increase in the number of troops and a change in their strategy. I was an early advocate of the surge at a time when it had few supporters in Washington. Senator Barack Obama was an equally vocal opponent. "I am not persuaded that 20,000 additional troops in Iraq is going to solve the sectarian violence there,” he said on January 10, 2007. “In fact, I think it will do the reverse."

Now Senator Obama has been forced to acknowledge that “our troops have performed brilliantly in lowering the level of violence.” But he still denies that any political progress has resulted.

Perhaps he is unaware that the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad has recently certified that, as one news article put it, “Iraq has met all but three of 18 original benchmarks set by Congress last year to measure security, political and economic progress.” Even more heartening has been progress that’s not measured by the benchmarks. More than 90,000 Iraqis, many of them Sunnis who once fought against the government, have signed up as Sons of Iraq to fight against the terrorists. Nor do they measure Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki’s new-found willingness to crack down on Shiite extremists in Basra and Sadr City—actions that have done much to dispel suspicions of sectarianism.

The success of the surge has not changed Senator Obama’s determination to pull out all of our combat troops. All that has changed is his rationale. In a New York Times op-ed and a speech this week, he offered his “plan for Iraq” in advance of his first “fact finding” trip to that country in more than three years. It consisted of the same old proposal to pull all of our troops out within 16 months. In 2007 he wanted to withdraw because he thought the war was lost. If we had taken his advice, it would have been. Now he wants to withdraw because he thinks Iraqis no longer need our assistance.

To make this point, he mangles the evidence. He makes it sound as if Prime Minister Maliki has endorsed the Obama timetable, when all he has said is that he would like a plan for the eventual withdrawal of U.S. troops at some unspecified point in the future.

Senator Obama is also misleading on the Iraqi military's readiness. The Iraqi Army will be equipped and trained by the middle of next year, but this does not, as Senator Obama suggests, mean that they will then be ready to secure their country without a good deal of help. The Iraqi Air Force, for one, still lags behind, and no modern army can operate without air cover. The Iraqis are also still learning how to conduct planning, logistics, command and control, communications, and other complicated functions needed to support frontline troops.

No one favors a permanent U.S. presence, as Senator Obama charges. A partial withdrawal has already occurred with the departure of five “surge” brigades, and more withdrawals can take place as the security situation improves. As we draw down in Iraq, we can beef up our presence on other battlefields, such as Afghanistan, without fear of leaving a failed state behind. I have said that I expect to welcome home most of our troops from Iraq by the end of my first term in office, in 2013.

But I have also said that any draw-downs must be based on a realistic assessment of conditions on the ground, not on an artificial timetable crafted for domestic political reasons. This is the crux of my disagreement with Senator Obama.

Senator Obama has said that he would consult our commanders on the ground and Iraqi leaders, but he did no such thing before releasing his “plan for Iraq.” Perhaps that’s because he doesn’t want to hear what they have to say. During the course of eight visits to Iraq, I have heard many times from our troops what Major General Jeffrey Hammond, commander of coalition forces in Baghdad, recently said: that leaving based on a timetable would be “very dangerous.”

The danger is that extremists supported by Al Qaeda and Iran could stage a comeback, as they have in the past when we’ve had too few troops in Iraq. Senator Obama seems to have learned nothing from recent history. I find it ironic that he is emulating the worst mistake of the Bush administration by waving the “Mission Accomplished” banner prematurely.

I am also dismayed that he never talks about winning the war—only of ending it. But if we don’t win the war, our enemies will. A triumph for the terrorists would be a disaster for us. That is something I will not allow to happen as president. Instead I will continue implementing a proven counterinsurgency strategy not only in Iraq but also in Afghanistan with the goal of creating stable, secure, self-sustaining democratic allies.

Hussein, Can You See?

Hussein, Can You See?

Hussein, can you see, to the media's delight
o'er the rambling bad talk
they're so callously skimming?

Missing swipes and light scars,
pitching softly-sweet lobs
Seeing nothing but good
in your um, ah, ad libbing?

And deep pockets drained bare
Jesse cutting your pair
Give proof through the fog
that you're simply NOT THERE!

Oy vey! Does your star-strangled
rhetoric yet stave
off the criticisms of the right
and the moans of the brave?

If Obama Were Messiah

How to Lead, Obama!

If you were a Messiah, Obama, you could lead with your words, your deeds and your actions.

You, Obama, would have an example promised to humankind in the Holy Bible, in the person of One, like unto the Son of Man. His coming May 22, 1844 was marked by the advent of the electronic age, yes, but the telegraph was yet too young to carry word of His glorious, meteor-like rise, His self-abnegation, His purity, His teachings and even too young to carry word of His mock trial and His execution before a hostile crowd of 10,000 on this date, July 9th, in the year 1850.

You, Obama, could show Americans the purity of heart, chaste virtue of character and complete humility that marked Him in His ministry, couldn't you?

And you, Obama, by the dynamic force of example, could release into the world a healing force so powerful, so unifying and so transforming that you, too, would calmly await being shot to death by 750 Armenian Christian riflemen, as He did, wouldn't you?

Because you, Obama, godlike in your wisdom, would recognize the transient, fleeting nature of this world and its riches, the cheap and worthless reality of worldly power and human vanity, and you could demonstrate publicly your disdain for these things, couldn't you?

Because if you were to do these actions, if you were to offer up your life for all humankind, then you, too, could withstand the first volley of 750 musket rounds at pointblank range, and have the rifle rounds cut the ropes restraining you, as the rifles did July 9th, 1850, wouldn't you?

And then, when the Muslim government called in a Muslim rifle regiment to do the dirty work that the Christian Armenian regiment had prayed fervently to be relieved of doing, God might answer YOUR prayers too, and when the guards came to your cell once again to bring you out before the gaze of 10,000 jeering onlookers, now grown silent from the miraculous nature of your first 'execution', why YOU would willingly let the Muslims hang you up to be shot to death yet another time...

As He was, there in Tabriz, Iran, July 9th, 1850.

And maybe your remains would have armed guards placed over them, to keep YOUR followers from retrieving them, at great personal risk, before dawn on the third day after your martyrdom, Obama...

But would YOUR mortal remains be taken to their final resting place and interred on God's holy mountain, Mount Carmel, in Haifa in the Holy Land?

Would YOU, Barack Obama, have the courage to even carry His message to Americans thirsty for the water of truth and hungry for REAL sustenance?

Would YOU, Barack Obama, have the personal integrity and authenticity to die for YOUR beliefs, as
The Bab did, July 9th 1850?

Obama, Remember Their Efforts!

The South was attacking from the north, and the North was defending from the South, and the battle was in its third day when General Lee ordered Longstreet to send General Pettigrew's, General Trimble's and General Pickett's brigades into the Union center.

Approximately 12,500 men in nine infantry brigades advanced over open fields for three quarters of a mile under heavy Union artillery and rifle fire. Although some Confederates were able to breach the low stone wall that shielded many of the Union defenders, they could not maintain their hold and were repulsed with over 50% casualties, a decisive defeat that ended the three-day battle and Lee's campaign into Pennsylvania.[1] When asked, years afterward, why his charge at Gettysburg failed, General Pickett said: "I've always thought the Yankees had something to do with it


You DO recall reading of this, don't you Mr Obama? 12,500 men waiting out their own artillery barrage against the Union lines, then bravely marching out over the more than a mile of flat land leading up to the Union's lines... These were Americans -Confederate Americans, granted- who were fighting with all they could bring to bear, in order to win the right to have THEIR States be left alone to carry on enslaving other humans, mostly blacks, for commercial and racist purposes.

Before the nine brigades neared the Union lines, more than 20 Union batteries -unharmed by the Rebel barrage- opened fire at 400 yards range, with explosive shot and shell, ripping holes in the lines of advancing white men. At about 300 meters, the left of the line was getting hit with canister, cannon shot that sent out a 1-meter cloud of lead marbles, Obama, so that when that fast-moving cloud hit the Rebels, 3 or 4 men disappeared completely in a blast of bloody mist, and several more were injured.

Over 1,600 artillery shells were fired into the Confederate brigades that day, this day, years ago... the left of the line never got much closer to victory than several hundred meters (the strong fence at the Emmitsburg road) but the center of the line made it to The Angle (in the Union's defensive position) and there engaged the Union in ferocious, hand-to-hand, bayonet-in-the-gut, muzzle in the face fighting...

Until it became apparent to the Rebels that the Boys in Blue HAD been reinforced (8th Ohio and 72 Pennsylvania) and apparent that the Rebels had lost half their number AND there would be NO reinforcements coming...

Why is this important, you ask? Well, Mr Obama, those fierce, determined, brave and courageous white men REALLY WANTED TO WIN, for "States' Rights" and for slavery and for their own regimental colors and for honor...

But the Union ALSO wanted to win, and despite losses and despite the courage of the men attacking, the white men DEFENDING the Union WON the field, and history later marked July 3, 1863 as the high-water mark of the Confederacy.

The Union HAD to defeat the Confederacy in order to restore the Union, and the Confederacy had only to NOT LOSE in order to win, but the forces fighting for the principles of unity, harmony and the oneness of humankind WON the day. Slavery in America was defeated, although some Arabs around the world would continue it legally until the late 20th century and illicitly to this day.

That war, Mr Obama, was a defining moment in America's life. The grand American experiment stumbled through the horror and pain of fighting itself, 3 million 5 hundred thousand uniformed combatants, and 600,000 deaths, Obama.

Like Jesus, they died for YOUR freedom. Honor them, and honor America in your efforts to lead America now, in THIS time of war.

Sing a New Song, Mr Obama!

Dear Hussein Obama,
In America, the one nation in the world welded into unity by its bloody march through the hell-fire of the American Civil War, there is widespread knowledge of and respect for America's unity in diversity. Its a wonder, a miracle, an oddity that catches attention in all other nations: no matter WHO you are, no matter WHAT race you are, when you walk down off the airplane or ship or bus that brought you to America, YOU ARE American... unless and until YOU declare yourself otherwise, right Mr Obama?

So HOW can it be of benefit to anyone, black or white or brown or green, to sing a 'Black National Anthem' after agreeing to use the time and microphone and audience to sing "The National Anthem"?

Do YOU, Mr Obama, encourage or allow or tacitly agree with this? How can it possibly help anyone, black OR white?

What next, Mr Obama? Singing the Vietnamese-American's "National" anthem? How about the Moldavian Midgets' Metropolitan Anthem? You want to stand not-saluting the American flag while someone sings the Internationale Communist Workers' song?

Because once we pretend that its somehow all right to lift up this race or that race above AMERICA, we're all singing the "Let's Spit on the Sacrifices of Our Forebears" Blues, aren't we, Mr Obama?

And THAT SONG is in the key of dis-harmony, a slow dirge of pain and degradation!

Cross-Posted at I Call BS!

Obama, We Hope for Change!

Dear Hussein Obama,
As you know from your studies of America and American history, the Democratic Party and American Democrats during the Civil War were calling for 'peace at any price', and were acting generally discourteously and often treasonously.

The American Civil War may have begun over 'States' Rights' (a state's right to continue ENSLAVING humans, mostly black humans), but it developed into a war ON slavery, institutional, theoretical and practical. Democrats demanding 'peace' at any price were pressing for debasement, defeat and continued slavery.

You are in a position today to take a principled stand FOR freedom, FOR responsible enlightenment and FOR personal rights here in America and for men and women enslaved by religious zealots in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere.

You can lead great numbers of American Democrats to support continued victories and continued positive developments in Iraq. You can build on the sacrifices and achievements that have come from America's efforts in the Middle East.

You can lead Democrats to change from self-victimizing, negative racists to America-loving, freedom-supporting rationalists, intent on securing for others the freedoms which we in America enjoy daily.

Surely THIS would be worthy of you, and worthy of the Americans who hope for such change? Don't repeat the scurrilous, treasonous efforts of Democrats in that earlier conflict... help Americans change to courageous, socialism-rejecting and cooperative individuals, confident in our ability to meet the challenges facing us, with strength, wisdom and courtesy.

You can change, hopefully, Mr Obama.

Will Smith Did NOT Diss America

Will Smith says it here, but we've got the quote below.
WILL SMITH: You know I just, I just came back from Moscow, Berlin, London and Paris and it's the first, I've been there quite a few times in the past five to 10 years. And it just hasn't been a good thing to be American. And this is the first time, since Barack has gotten the nomination, that it, it was a good thing.


Granted, its clumsy, and CAN be interpreted as HE FEELS GOOD for the first time in 5-10 years...

But a closer look at the Movie Wunderkind's statement, while promoting Hancock, notices all the 'it's...

Will noticed that receptions for him in Moscow, Berlin, London and Paris were WARM AND POSITIVE... because of THEIR infatuation with Obama, not Smith's.

No BS here... watch Hancock, for fun.

At Yale, I Are a Art Stoont


Thanks to IowaHawk, here's the MP3 of "You CAN be an Art Student, at Yale!"

You close cover before striking,
Your father had the ship-fitter blues and
Loving you has made me bananas!

View from Above


"But what has Barack Obama accomplished that entitles him to look down on his fellow Americans?"


Some cogent analysis by Kristol, in (of all places!) the New York Times...

It is very easy for persons of good will to 'give Obama the benefit of the doubt', and that IS a reasonable choice.

For ONE or, over a few months, TWO, mistrakes or mis-speaks or Hoofin-Mowf Disease symptoms...

With this San Francisco-billionaires revelation, however, persons of good will now have a PATTERN of racist, elitist disclosures indicating a deep, chronic and seriously infected human in Obama's case. One slip can be rationalized, but three or more ("typical white persons", "racist grandmother", "Reverend Wright is just fine" and now "bitter hillbillies") is prima facie evidence of SOME UNDERLYING PROBLEM which will NOT YIELD to rationalization.

These 'mis-speaks' are NOT 'mistakes', but THE HONEST REALITY of Obama. It is the feel-good 'hope' and 'change' and 'we can work together' that are false, obfuscating, MASKING and DIVERTING statements designed to cover up Obama's racist, Marxist agenda.

What's Wrong with This Picture?

Great Leader Comrade Obama

Another great image from Urban Infidel, and a hearty Hat-Tip here!

This Obama reminds me of a Post Turtle.

Post Turtle.

You know, when you're driving along a country road? And see a turtle up on top of one of the fence-posts?

Its clear that he didn't get up there by himself, and
now he's up there, ain't much he can do, and
all you really want to do is help the dumbass down!

Not a Pretty Picture

Obama... Above Americans in '08

Hat tip Urban Infidel for this one.

We were going to post the recording of Obama's most recent revelation, his revealing gaffe about those jobless, bitter whites of Ohio and Pennsylvania who cling to their religion, guns and racism...

Want catsup with that foot-in-mouth sandwich, Obama?

Using a Subpoena to Bully and Club Different Opinions

We watch the law around here, and I want to be among the first to Call BS! on this obvious bullying tactic!

Zogby, Hillary's Dead Unless...

John Zogby, respected scientific pollster, discusses Hussein Obama and Hillary Clinton.

With little change of tone, however, and in only a few carefully-chosen words, he describes the gaping wound now bleeding the Democrat Party, when he notes that, in order to win, it 'will have to heal some serious differences...'

And therein lieth the rub...

Squidoo Lens for Nutty Squirrely Teacups!

Here's a Squidoo lens for info on Teacup Chihuahuas and Bushy-tailed Nut-Busters!

Leave a comment there, if you please!

Teacups & Sables??

A brief word from my sponsor...

A friend wants me to post about Teacups and Sables, whatever those are...

He says they're chihuahuas (of the REALLY TINY variety, small enough to fit into a teacup!) and Sables (or Tri-Colors) are squirrels which -in this case- have been raised human-friendly and quite tame.

Wright Is Wrong, Again!

Jeremiah Was a Pastor!
(Right-Click and "Save File as..." to share with friends & foes, OR click link and listen now!)

Hat Tip to Buzzsawmonkey!

Jeremiah was a pastor
Had a church that was black
He preached fire and brimstone from his pulpit
And white folks are what he'd attack
And he always had a mighty fine attack

Singin'
Damn the USA
It should pass away
America's mired in original sin
The lack of melanin

He traveled out to Libya
He went with Farrakhan
He's glad to forgive anybody his sins
As long as they're African
As long as they're African

Singin'
Damn the USA
It should pass away
America's mired in original sin
The lack of melanin

He'll discount individual achievement
His world's bounded by race
He doesn't judge people by their character
But by the color of their face
By the color of their face

Singin'
Damn America!
It should pass away
America's mired in original sin
The lack of melanin

/more coming! Its gonna be a LONG election cycle!

Jeremiah!

Jeremiah Wrong!
(Right-Click and "Save File as..." to share with friends & foes, OR click link and listen now!)

Hat Tip Terp Mole

Jeremiah was a Reverend,
“God-damn” was his favorite line.
They’ll never print a single word of what he said
Unless it sells Obama whine.
‘cause liberals love a mighty fine whine.

Sing it:
Bombed Hiroshima!
Bombed Nagasaki!
God-damn American indignity,
Hope Audacity!

If Obama were the king of the world,
I tell you what he'd boost.
He'd throw away the tax cuts and the wars overseas
and bring chickens home to roost.

Sing it now:
Bombed Hiroshima!
Bombed Nagasaki!
God-damn American indignity,
Hope Audacity!
Thin Audacity!
Mighty thin Audacity!

/tell me again this Jeremiah Wright is a 'reverend'...

Obama, Obama, OH!

Obama, Obama OH!
(Right-Click and "Save File as..." to share with friends & foes, OR click link and listen now!)

Obama, Obama
How you can sell!
Obama, Obama
You and Michelle

You sell us softest,
blackest soap
And if we tire
of that you sell us change
and hope and then you

Obama, Obama
Please tell me do
What makes you stutter so?

You don't speak well its true
When hard questions hit you,
you just Obama, Obama, oh!

Obama, Obama, Heaven's above
In this hot-contested election
where push comes to shove
You say its not so very strange
Elect you and we get real social change
and that means

Obama, Obama please tell me true
why we suspect you so?
I bend down for the soap
and you sell me more hope
and I Obama, Obama oh!

I Wanna Go Home



This is a video done by my friend Karridine. It made me cry when I first heard it. Hope you like it.

Here is a little about him and why he did the video.
Karridine enlisted at age 17 to follow his father's example and serve in Korea. After a year's study at the DLI in Monterey, CA, learning Korean language, Karridine served in the Army Security Agency, working atop a mountain on an island on the Korean DMZ. When the USS Pueblo was captured, Karridine was one of three people handpicked by NSA to fly back to Korea and guide the follow-up there. He got his Honorable Discharge after 4 years service in late1968.

Karridine wrote "Wanna Go Home" as his supportive contribution during the Battle of Baghdad, long after he was refused further service. Knowing how lonely it can get on the front lines, or just far from home, Karridine wove this story of the normal American GI's desire to go home, AFTER completing the mission, AFTER making a positive difference in the field.
The full song is for sale at I Wanna Go Home for $3.50. The author has given permission to those currently serving in the military to share it with nine of their best buddies, wives, husbands, parents, or children.

Osama Has Problems, Supporters, Too

Osama, if he's not pushing up daisy-cutters in outer Waziristan, has some serious problems with al-Qaeda in Iraq, now that al-Zarkawi looked into the eyes of the US Marines tasked with pulling his still-breathing body out of the rubble of a once-safe house in Iraq.

But never fear, Osama has supporters and well-wishers in America, including Nance and Katy and Harry and Hillary... The 'Lets negotiate everything' while ignoring the reality that we Americans, AS AMERICANS, have NOTHING of enticement to offer the Islamists and NOTHING with which to threaten the Death-Eaters of Islamistan!

Like the Fifth Columnists of an earlier era, these supporters carefully disguise their admiration for Osama & Friends as 'Bush Derangement Syndrome', so that rational people will just laugh at them.

But 'they're serial about this!'
