Think About It

VDH does it again.  I fear that he is correct on the wavering of will in the west, however.  It is too easy to turn the blind eye.  This will continue until the bad guys decide it is in their best interests to attack us again at home.  Then there will be the inevitable finger pointing and blame game.  Nothing will happen because we, as a people, are too selfish to even bother to protect ourselves.  Long live liberalism!

From Iraq The Model


Saturday, April 21, 2007
 
End the war: Right message sent to the wrong address.
What did the last wave of terror attacks and the many crimes committed against our people all this time reveal?

If we look at how the media handles the situation we'll find something like this almost everywhere;

Dozens killed, scores wounded in attacks suggest failure of security measures…

It's as if the speaker here wants to only emphasize the defect in security measures in a way that honestly angers and disgusts me.
When shall they realize, if ever, that we are dealing with brutal crimes against humanity, a genocide against the people of Iraq? Why don't people talk about the cruelty of the crimes and expose the obvious goals of the terrorists behind the crimes?

Isn't it everyone's duty to expose the criminals, describe their sick ways and purposes and alert the world about the danger?

Where are the media when terrorists use chlorine poisonous gas, acids, and ball bearings to kill and hurt more and more civilians in utter disregard to all written and unwritten laws, ethics and values?
I understand it's the duty of the media to practice scrutiny over the work of governments but isn't it equally their duty to expose criminals and their evil deeds?

It's frustrating to see the media turn a blind eye to the nature of the crimes and open fire on an honest endeavor to restore peace to a bleeding nation. I'm sure the terrorists are pleased by the coverage. Why not, when their crimes are being portrayed as successful breakthroughs against the efforts of Iraq and America it's likely motivating them to keep up the killing.

Would it be "hate speech" to expose the terrorists for what they are?
I think our hate for their crimes must not be hidden; there is no shame in hating those blood-thirsty monsters.
Even more appalling I see and hear some people who think the solution is to end the war from our end and I can't find an argument more naïve than this—I've seen enough wars in my life that I can't remember a day when there was peace and I hate wars more than they can imagine. But we didn't start his war; it's the terrorists who started this war against life.

Instead of telling us to stop fighting back, I'd like to see some people stand up and protest the crimes of the terrorists and tell them to stop the killing and destruction…turn the stop-the-war campaign against the terrorists, is that too much to ask for?
Tell the criminals to stop killing us and stop attacking the people who are risking their lives fighting for liberty and equality.
We're not asking the media and the stop-the-war crowd to carry arms and shoot the terrorists; we just want them to stop shooting at us.

America's Future?

Substitute Clinton/Obama/Pelosi/Reid etc for Zapatero and you get potential America 2009, kowtowing to the islamists for the false hope of being left alone.

How sad they are, those who place self preservation above courage and duty.

Sunday Musings

Posted by TommyO on Sunday, April 15, 2007 10:33:30 AM
 http://www.redstate.com/blogs/heavym/2007/apr/13/what_reagan_taught_us_about_being_conservatives

Another must read on conservatism.

Another storm coming.  Maybe snow, maybe rain and wind, no sunshine till Friday.  No golf again.

BNAS P-3 doing touch and goes at PWM this morning.  Flight path takes her over my house at low altiitude.  Love the roar of the unmuffled military engines.  Was in VA Beach last summer on the day they retired the F-14 at Oceana.  The wind was such that the take off flight path was to the east right over my hotel.  The Navy flew a lot of nostalgic flights that day.  Talk about a front row seat from my balcony.

Could the Imus thing be more boring.  All kinds of rightous folks on all sides of the argument calling for the scalps of lefty and righty broadcasters.  Enough already.  The utter hypocrisy of it all is overwhelming.  We ain't got better things to do?

The war drags on.  AQ feeling the pressure. but you won't hear that from the MSM or the dhimmis.  Too much power involved to tell the truth.  As we rachet up the action in Bagdhad and Anbar, the resulting atrocities by the AQ on the Iraqi people seemingly do not register on the left in this country.  It's OK if it produces additional BDS. Whatever will the dhimmis do if conditions continue to improve?
And what will the dhimmis do about Iran?  Maybe the speakerette will go there, and the mullahs will hold her hostage. 

What's the over/under on Willey MO replacing the cisco Kid in center field permamently?  I say 25 games.

till next time.

Algor Reigns

Posted by TommyO on Friday, April 13, 2007 10:28:32 AM
 
I just put the shovels back in the garage.............................again.
I sold a bunch of old clubs, bag, etc for $200 which will be the down payment on a new Cobra whatever it is but it hits it forever with no effort and even old farts can feel like tiger, driver. At least that is what David Feherty tells me.
Anyway, I got the fever and there ain't no cure but get on the first tee. I will never forgive algor for the tease of two weekends ago when I was on the range sending missiles everywhere like a drunk admiral on a boomer sub, happy as hell in my delirium that the courses would open no later than Tuesday.
FOOLISH MAN! Did you not know we were about to embark on the year with no summer? Have you not listened to algor, who warned you and warned you, but you paid him no heed.
So it snowed on April 13th, and it is scheduled to snow again on April15th. If I convert to the religion of ECO, will algor stop the snow?
Condemned to watch golf on the telly. Relived my game at Harbour Town. Right Ernie, I was stymied behind the tree on 16 too, and that water in front of the par three, and that horrible trap at nine, ad infinitum.
Have a great weekend. Sox will come back. Party for number two son at 40 tomorrow. In spite of algor, I will fire up the grill!

Small Town Hood Makes It Big

Posted by TommyO on Wednesday, April 11, 2007 10:54:35 AM
So Da Speakerette, elected to office as a representative of one of 435 congressional districts [500,000 souls or less] is ready to go off to iran to make nice nice with the mad mullahs and the reincarnated mahdi in the name of the United States Government [and we the people].  Has this dingbat forgotten the Constitution, or perhaps never learned anything about it?

The dhimmi left is drunk on power and salivating at the thought, and perhaps wet dreams, of defeating the imperial Bush presidency by any means possible, subversive or not.

The past few weeks have given the Republicans a golden opportunity to demonstrate the complete loss of sanity by the dhimmis, starting with the various surrender tactics and culminating with the 'diplomacy' of da speakerette.  I am rather disappointed in the response, or lack of, from the right [although the Mittster did land some heavy body blows yesterday].  The 'W' tried, but nobody is listening to him anymore ..................  his time has passed.

So it is really up to the candidates for the White House [and possibly some senators and reps with some standing among the electorate {do we have any of these?}, and finally, the blogs, still way too polite to the dhimmis, and whatever segment of the MSM we still have.

The attack should be of the flavor of Sherman and Patton ..... severe and unrelenting ......... utilizing wherever possible the segments of the MSM that are showing cracks in the dam (WP?).  Interesting, I only found one place, I forget where, that linked to the letter from the Republican leadership to da speakerette imploring her to call the house back into session to deal with the Iraq funding bill.  Why have the famous blogs not been on that one on a daily basis [too busy hyping their favorite candidate and expressing outrage at religous bigotry by the MSM or wasting my time with unending stories on Don Imus finally getting brought up for unparralled stupidity.  [I really needed an interview with Howard Stern to illuminate the absolute loss of integrity by the MSM.  Last night, simultaneously, MSNBC, CNN, CNN Headline, and Fox were head to head with every inane talking head in captivity]

Anyway, where are our leaders in time of peril?  As I said, the 'W' speaks, but no one listens [sorta like my blog].

It is so very easy to see why the lefty loonies and the dhimmis triumph.  They get  their distorted word out with no fear of retribution or contradiction while the right wallows in self rightous indignation and writes meaningless, high minded story after story reflecting their own self importance, while the orchestra plays "Hail To the Chief' ,or perhaps the theme song from Caddyshack, on the poop deck. 

Time to re-evaluate our strategery boys and girls?

How About That

Posted by TommyO on Tuesday, April 03, 2007 11:09:52 AM
 

And Churchill’s advice:

“If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival. There may even be a worse case: You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.”

What A Country!

Posted by TommyO on Sunday, April 01, 2007 12:45:49 PM
A tough week to be a conservative.  The dhimmis are parading around claiming to have just won WWIV by crippling the CIC and the troops in the field. The speakerette follows up her hollow victory with a mid-east tour to include Basher ASSad from where she will no doubt return with 'peace in our time'.  Not a good time to be a Jew, I think.

Isn't it ironic that the sorry spectacle of the Brits being played for the fool by the mullahs is the result of the very same attitude brought by the brit lefties [with the help of the so called conservative centrists]

Interestingly enough, the 'Sisters Of Mercy' hung with the party even though sister Snowe was wavering big time early on. I can only believe that McConnel took everyone to the woodshed and only lost the two copperheads from Oregon and Nebraska.

Anyway, all the talk should not be about the narrow victories by the dhimmis, but what the 'W' will do after this thing comes out of conference.  There are some deadlines looming that will force a scale back in funding if the dhimmis do not get off their collective butts fairly soon.  'W' may have the upper political hand by accusing the dhimmis of failing the troops in the field with 'political points and pork'
especially if we have kicked enough AQ split cheeks and upped the ante for them in Baghdad and Anbar.

I find it amazing that so little is written of the AQ strategy to push the sectarian conflict by indiscriminately killing more and more Iraqis, and how long it is taking for the regular populace to turn against all three sets of killers, the AQ, Sunnis, and Shia bad guys.  How about a little chlorine gas, anyone?  I am reading that the turnaround is slowly evolving, however.  Needs to accelerate, eh?

If you do nothing elese today, read this in full, plus the links.

Have the mullahs finally miscalculated or have they got us by the short hair, again?

Dis & Dat 3/23

Posted by TommyO on Friday, March 23, 2007 11:32:17 AM

 OK, so I got cocky and took the snow shovel in last week just before we got 8 or ten inches.  Temp is now 58 and I took it in again.  It never snows in late march or April in Maine, eh?

Big doins in DC.  The dhimmis are mending fences with the Iraq Out crew with billions, yes that's billions, in pork to sway them to vote for the phony we support the troops bill.  It will now pass narrowly and we get on to the Senate for more big doins.  Then 'W' vetos the whole bill anf the dhimmis scream, but are faced with passing a clean bill providing funds or holding out and not funding the troops in battle with the enemy!  What do we do now folks?

It seems to me that the dhimmis were elected not only on the Iraq situation, but on the penultimate failures of the republican congress to address the problems of the nation, e.g. Social Security, Immigration, and taxes.  The dhimmis can't even get the minimum wage into effect.
 All they want to do is screw around with BDS with more hearings on U S attorneys, and the incredible plame game.  They are so arrogant that they really believe that no one out here is aware of their complete incompetence.

Bad news for the dhimmis.  Iraq situation showing improvement.

Can't get moist over March madness.  Have yet to watch a complete game.  Bruins are pathetic.  Celtics are pathetic.  Pats making good moves.  Sox send Paps back to the closer role.  There is a God.

Continuing to gauge the melt.  Over under on course openings is 4/13 unless Nonsuch opens with snow on the back nine.  Not beyond the realm of thought.

If anybody reads this, look to Michael Yon.  He has pi**ed off the Army REMF big shots and may get kicked out of Iraq.  Go Mike, Go!

What To Do

Posted by TommyO on Friday, March 16, 2007 12:21:53 PM
 
Besides going back to the garage to find the snow shovel I so gleefully put away during the fifty degree day on Tuesday, I am trying to figure out what I should be paying attention to for the rest of Friday.

Am I to spend my day breathlessly glued to CNN or whatever to watch Henry Waxman buy into the Plamegate bulls**t and exercise a full blown case of BDS?

Am I to search all blogs, left and right, to determine what really happened in the Senate yesterday? [Whatever prompted the Copperhead Sisters of Mercy to vote with the repubs yesterday?  Did Big Mitch call them and others to the woodshed? Meanwhile, the speakerette and friends are continuing to disappoint OBL and the looney left by failing to end the war in Iraq.  Just how long will it be before OBL decides to send his minions in the congress a message. ]

Am I to spend endless hours reading the thousands of words currently being written about the AG crisis? [The 'W' administration will truly go down in history as the gang that couldn't shoot straight. I can not understand the total incompetence displayed on a daily basis whether it be the war or just trying to run the government.  For the dhimmis, it is like shooting fish in a barrel. I am always tempted to ask, who the hell is in charge here? Karl Rove is a political genius?  Not in my book]

Maybe I will say the hell with politics and just try to do a moviemaker for the wife's birthday on Sunday.  That's the ticket!

Green Grass

Posted by TommyO on Wednesday, March 14, 2007 2:57:35 PM
     
58 degrees and counting.  Snow is melting; grass is showing.  Great Stuff!  [snow this weekend predicted, but it has no staying power - golf is in the offing]

Too much going on in DC to comment on.  Phony US Attorney scandal coupled with anti-war move 18.3.6.12 is making the dhimmis a continueing farce.  I guess they are capable of the same mistakes the repubs made with Bubba.  Blood in the water and an uncontrolled frenzy results.  I am predicting impeachment, as I do not believe that 'W' will pay any attention to the unconstitutionl provisions of the latest nonsensical move from the speakerette and friends.

Perhaps 'W' will make a move to SCOTUS for a decision on the constitutionality of the bill's provisions.  This is dangerous ground for the constitution, as the speakerette is pushing for congressional power not remitted to them by the constitution.  Love 'W' or hate 'W', this is not the time to be screwing with the basic tenets of our system, especially with TLW looming large.  I also read that the same morons trying to take over the war are trying to legislate closing Gitmo and bringing all the terorist prisoners to US soil and providing them with a criminal defense.  They still do not understand that we are at war with the islamofascists and this is not gang war in LA.

so much ventinbg makes an old guy tired.

Next time.

See Lance Duston and comments on Maine's shortfalls and idiotic legislators twiddling their thumbs with assinine proposals.

I wonder how long it will be before Baldacci chases my health insurer out of town with all the rest.

Weekly Roundup

Posted by TommyO on Friday, March 09, 2007 8:10:32 AM
 
I have temporarily run out of gas.  As I watch the events in DC and around the world, it is easy to become depressed.  Let's look:

Weather - Things are warming up.  In the last half hour it went from 0 to 5.  Forties are coming tomorrow and the reat of the week.  Good stuff.  Waiting for the snow to melt and courses to open.

Libby Trial - What a waste.  Politics is surely a deadly game if you mess up and get caught in the crosshairs of the dhimis.  Tough luck, Scooter. The dhimmis are going to have hearings on the plame game.  They apparently do not realize that they are playing in a minefield, especially with Saint Joseph Wilson.

TLW - It seems that Gen Prateus has stripped the outlying areas of troops to start the 'surge' a little quicker than planned for.  That part is going well, but the bad guys are very much aware of the soft spots and are targeting them to good advantage.  The dhimmis have another 'plan' [number 18?] and will try to enact the legislation next week with the help of the copperheads.  No go sez the repubs.  Bush is hiding in the white house as usual.  Don't understand why he is afraid to take these people on. The dhimmis continue to be a public embarassment. 

Iran - Oooops!  The bad guys have misplaced one of their leaders.  As a matter of fact, he might have misplaced himself right into the hanbds of friendly intelligence agents [intelligence agent, is that a misnomer?].  Tough luck there Ahmed.

Da Sox - Like the starting pitching; hate the bullpen; like the starting lineup for offense.  Should battle for the pennant if the bullpen gets straight, especially a closer!  Hello Theo.......................
Look for Willey Mo to get traded for a closer.  David Murphy or I can't remember the guy's name, the centerfielder who is hitting the cover off the ball can be the fourth outfielder.  Willey Mo can't hit a breaking ball.  Schilling all p**sed off aver his contract.  therefore he will work harder than ever to show management they made a mistake.  Onwards and upwards, as they say.

Maybe I will start writing next week.  Maybe not.
