Hanoi Jane on Yahoo! Answers

Friday, May 11th, 2007

Jane Fonda has a question on Yahoo! Answers:

What were your household rules when you were growing up and what have those rules taught you?

Here’s my answer:

My parents taught me to never give aid and comfort to the enemy, never be a traitor to my country, and never ever commit treason.

Head on over to Yahoo! Answers and give some advice to HJ.

Thank you Tony Blair!

Thursday, May 10th, 2007

Thank you for being a friend!

When you step down on June 27, we will miss having you at our side; but know that you have a special place in the heart of Americans and we are blessed to have had an ally who was willing to stand up to both the terrorists and immense political pressure to be our friend.

Thank you Tony Blair… thank you.

Bush responsible for everything!

Tuesday, May 8th, 2007

Is there anything the loons won’t blame President Bush for?

therawstory: Kansas’ Democratic Governor Kathleen Sebelius said Monday that the effort to recover from the damage caused by tornadoes that hit six Kansas counties over the weekend is being hampered by the war in Iraq.

According to Sebelius there is a shortage of trucks, helicopters and other equipment necessary for the disaster clean up effort due to the Iraq war.

“There is no doubt at all that this will slow down and hamper the recovery,” she told Reuters.

Sebelius’ concerns highlight a wider issue of National Guard readiness, according to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) who said in email today that the “war in Iraq has had a serious impact on the National Guard and its ability to protect and assist Americans in times of disaster here at home.”

“The warnings about National Guard readiness have been clear,” wrote Pelosi. “States are not as ready as they should be to respond to natural disasters and other emergencies.”

Is nothing off limits from the opportunistic Left? House Speaker Nancy Pelosis and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid have become, in tandem, the single most destructive force in America, sparing no lie to squelch the last remaining pulse of unity that beat strong in the heart of America after 9/11, threatening their existence that was so dependent upon division and hatred.

Don’t believe they will lie and spin anything to paint a negative picture to further their cause? Here’s the reality of the situation:

US DOD: WASHINGTON, May 7, 2007 – More than 300 members of the Kansas National Guard have been activated in response to a powerful tornado that almost destroyed the town of Greensburg, Kan., May 4.

Guard members are assisting in search-and-rescue efforts in the wake of the tornado, which was classified as an F-5, the highest rating given by the National Weather Service.

The tornado wiped out much of the small town, knocking out power, water, natural gas and communications. To date, 10 deaths and more than 100 injuries have been reported.

The Kansas National Guard’s 278th Sustainment Brigade has established a joint task force near the incident site. In addition to search-and-rescue efforts, the troops are working on power generation, logistical support, debris clearing, support to law enforcement, supporting establishment of shelters and distribution of food and water.

Currently, the Kansas National Guard has 88 percent of its forces available, 60 percent of its Army Guard dual-use equipment on hand, and more than 85 percent of its Air Guard equipment on hand, said Randal Noller, public affairs officer for the National Guard Bureau. Under the Emergency Management Assistance Compact, which is a national partnership agreement that allows state-to-state assistance during governor or federally declared emergencies, Kansas has more than 400,000 Guardsmen available to it, he pointed out. However, Kansas has not yet requested assistance from other states.

The National Guard Bureau has offered liaison, operational, communications, contracting, search-and-rescue, public affairs and community relations support, and is prepared to support the governor in any way possible, Noller said.

The National Guard also has been activated in response to other severe weather in the Midwest. In South Dakota, 27 Guardsmen were activated in response to severe storms that moved through the region yesterday, destroying high voltage transmission lines and power poles and leaving several thousand customers without electricity. The Guard troops are transporting water pumps and generators and providing sandbags to prevent flooding.

In response to heavy rainfall last night and today, the Iowa National Guard deployed 47 troops in support of local authorities to assist in sandbagging operations in the city of Red Oak, Iowa. Iowa National Guard troops worked with civilian first responders moving sand, filling sand bags and building temporary dams to mitigate the effects of the rising waters.

Bottom line… Sebelius, Reid and Pelosi are lying to further their left-wing agenda.

Even though everyone in Kansas has said they have all the help and equipment they need, that the response was swift and couldn’t have been better (including Governor Sebelius who has been forced to backpedal), Reid took to the floor of the Senate today, ignored the reality, and blamed the war in Iraq for the imaginary shortage of equipment and resources in Kansas.

And the scariest part is… there are people who actually believe this tripe.

Yes Rosie… terrorists are real

Tuesday, May 8th, 2007

About a week ago, Rosie O’Donnell told the world (or at least those who watch The View) that there are no terrorists, these people are just like you and me. Anyone who tries to scare you into believing terrorists will come to the US and attack us are lying to you (I guess 9/11 was just a misunderstanding).

Well… looks like the terrorists didn’t get the message:

WFMZ-TV & AP: Six Islamic militants from Yugoslavia and the Middle East were arrested on charges of plotting to attack the Fort Dix Army post and “kill as many soldiers as possible,” authorities said Tuesday.

Wait… what’s that? Islamic militants? Did the AP just say Islamic militants?

Yes Rosie, although you and your wacked out friends choose to believe the only evil in this world resides in the White House, terrorists do exist… reminds me of an editorial written in a much simpler time. With sincere apologies to Francis Pharcellus Church:

Rosie, your wacko friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe even what they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds.

Yes, Rosie, there are terrorists. They exist as certainly as suicide bombers and WMDs exist, and you should know that believing they don’t exist will not make them go away. Alas! how wonderful would be the world if there were no terrorists. It would be as wonderful as if there were no wacko leftists spewing lies on television or violent Socialists trying to steal elections all over the world.

No terrorists! Pray to God someday this may be true! But they live and die for their cause, Rosie, and no lie spoken by you or your friends can change the reality we live with every single day.

Anyone else noticing a trend, perhaps a pattern?

Tuesday, May 8th, 2007

2000: Bush wins…  Gore tries to steal the election in the Florida courts

2004: Libs talk about taking back “our” country (Thinkin’bout Stuff wonders from whom?); Bush wins again and the libs cry foul

2006: Conservative Felipe Calderon and leftist Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador plans to deny him Mexico’s presidency and called for nationwide protests against the election results. (USA Today)

2007: Socialist Ségolène Royal predicts (perhaps threatens) there will be riots if Conservative Nicolas Sarkozy is elected president of France:

The Sunday Times: She said she was “issuing an alert” that his victory could “trigger violence and brutality across the country. His candidacy is dangerous. That is why I am asking voters to think twice”.

And surprise, surprise.. her prediction came true as violence has erupted in France and lasted three days so far.

Liberals, Socialists, pretty much the entire Radical Left has adopted a pervasive group-think-driven belief that they are right, everyone else is wrong, there is no room for debate let alone dissension, and all opposing positions, along with the purveyors of said positions, must be squelched or eliminated at all costs… the end justifies the means… elections are only valid if they validate the Left… if the conservatives win, the election must have been fixed because “they” are out to get “us” and “we” must stop “them” … because only “we” can save the world:

THE victims of Soviet communism would find it hard to understand, but a giant yellow banner was unfurled in the centre of Paris last week, bearing portraits of Lenin and Stalin. “Only socialism can save the world” it proclaimed in black ink.

Folks.. the threat is on the extreme right (radical Islam) and the extreme left (Socialists and Neo-Socs). They will use any means possible to impose their dogma on the rest of us including lies, threats, coercion, violence, terrorism… because they are right, we are wrong, and nothing else matters.

Due to circumstances beyond our control…

Monday, May 7th, 2007

… OK.. maybe somewhat within our control…

Thinkin’bout Stuff was down due to a PHP script that was somehow added to the site that caused it to misbehave.

Although it is back up now, I apparently need to do some work to improve the security.

So… all I need to do now is figure out how to do that :-)

Movie Night

Saturday, May 5th, 2007

RedState has a YouTube video that asks some important questions about the direction of the Dem party.  Although it does also push the usual political line one would expect from an ad produced by either party, the points raised are ones that have troubled many of us for a while now.. all wrapped up in a nice little package in this video.
