…well, we’re not even sure how to describe the loathsome beast you’re going to find anymore.
Want to hear one of the arguments from the kamikaze wing of the National Socialist Democrat Workers’ Party in favor of keeping abortion funding in ObamaCare?
“If you pass the Stupak amendment, more children will be born, and therefore it will cost us millions more. That’s one of the arguments I’ve been hearing,” Stupak says. “Money is their hang-up. Is this how we now value life in America? If money is the issue — come on, we can find room in the budget. This is life we’re talking about.”
Yeah, you read that right. “Chilluns are damn expensive for the Nanny State. What, with their schooling needs, health care needs etc. Much cheaper to just kill ‘em off in the womb.”
To bend the cost curve and all that. It’s for the Childr… Wait… Guess not this time.
Just in case you’re wondering just what life is worth in a National Socialist Democrat country. Next, it’s denying care to the elderly and unproductive members of society. Provided that they weren’t chopped up in the womb. On your dime. To save money.
It’s Utopia, we tell you!
Useless, socialist, genocidal, eugenicist swine.
But hey, two can play that game. If it’s all about saving money, then we can easily demonstrate that socialism is the single most efficient wealth-reducing factor. Every single country who’s tried it has gone down the drain, no exceptions to the rule.
So, logically, if we really want to “bend the cost curve”, all we have to do is to get rid of socialists.
How do you like them apples, you totalitarian freaks?
Best start looking over your shoulders and sleeping with one eye open.
Thatisall.

Hanks’ asinine statements notwithstanding, HBO’s “The Pacific” is vitally important for no other reason that to tell the story of what the Marines did, and went through, in the PTO during WWII.
The old saying is that “hindsight is 2/20″, and viewing WWII through the prism of history, it is easy to see the monumental struggle between good and evil that the ETO represented. As such, the war against Hitler has come to dominate the resurgence of interest in WWII. Led by cinematic powerhouses such as “Band of Brothers” and “Saving Private Ryan”, the average American has become familiar with what the Allies accomplished in Europe. Battles such as Normandy and the Bulge, while hugely important, have in most peoples minds become the only titanic struggles of WWII worth telling. The Pacific has been forgotten, except by those who were there, and by students of history.

Of quite epic proportions, shamelessly lifted from DPUD.
There’s a saying by a wise man of my native country which, translated into English, goes something like this: “Predictions are notoriously difficult to make. Particularly about the future.”
And so we take you back to 1995, when one of Newsweeks 1337 G33Kz, Clifford Stoll, riding the very front of the Intertubewaves, hip to all that was cool, living the future today and, of course, predicting with the infallible air of certitude that only somebody entirely too full of himself possesses, that those Internets weren’t ever going to really take off.
Seriously, it’s hilarious.
After two decades online, I’m perplexed.
We have to admit. If Clifford had spent two decades online already in 1995, then he surely was on the forefront of things, but we digress… Teh funnay follows:
It’s not that I haven’t had a gas of a good time on the Internet. I’ve met great people and even caught a hacker or two. But today, I’m uneasy about this most trendy and oversold community. Visionaries see a future of telecommuting workers, interactive libraries and multimedia classrooms. They speak of electronic town meetings and virtual communities. Commerce and business will shift from offices and malls to networks and modems. And the freedom of digital networks will make government more democratic.
Baloney. Do our computer pundits lack all common sense? The truth in no online database will replace your daily newspaper, no CD-ROM can take the place of a competent teacher and no computer network will change the way government works.
Chuckling already? Oh, but it gets better. Strap yourselves in…

OK, our schools are combat zones. Students assault each other and teachers with impunity. We have had to station police officers in elementary schools, for pity’s sake. High schools are free fire zones; and if it is not gang-bangers, it is Columbine wanna-be’s. Something has to be done.
It seems that our Federal government is taking steps …. of some sort. Specifically the Department of Education.

When we first learned that Tom Hanks was going to make The Pacific we were almost beside ourself with joy. What could possibly be cooler than doing for our heroes of the Pacific what had already been done for our ETO heroes in Band of Brothers?
Not a whole lot of things, we would have said back then.
But we may have to reassess.
The Pacific, his new 10-hour epic about the Pacific theater in World War II, plays out against a very different backdrop, when the country is weary of war and American exceptionalism is a much tougher sell.
Oh dear, why do we have this sinking feeling that we know where this is going already?
World War II in the European theater was a case of massive armies arrayed against an unambiguous evil.
As opposed to the much more “ambiguous” evil of the Rape of Nanking, the Bataan Death March etc?
The Pacific war was mainly fought by isolated groups of men and was overlaid by a sense that our foes were fundamentally different from us.
Yep. That’s exactly it. Forget about Pearl Harbor, forget about the threat to our allies and ourselves in the PTO, this was all about how much FDR hated little yellow people. If only the Japanese had been blond, blue-eyed Aryan über-Menschen, then none of this would have happened!
“Certainly, we wanted to honor U.S. bravery in The Pacific,” Hanks says. “But we also wanted to have people say, ‘We didn’t know our troops did that to Japanese people.’”…
Speaking of the Bataan Death March… Well, we guess we’re not going to hear much about that in your epic about American racism and orgies of brutality are we, Tommy-boy?
Back in World War II, we viewed the Japanese as ‘yellow, slant-eyed dogs’ that believed in different gods. They were out to kill us because our way of living was different. We, in turn, wanted to annihilate them because they were different.
And that was all it was really about, according to noted military history scholar Tom Hanks who, apparently, needs to be re-acquainted with an actual history book, preferably by encasing it in concrete and banging him upside the head with it for a few hours.
Does that sound familiar, by any chance, to what’s going on today?”
The only thing we’re hearing is yet another assclown who managed to utterly miss the true implications of 9/11 and instead turned into a howling moonbat unable to see any event in history except through the distorted, neurotic glasses of “BushHitler, Illegal War, Raaaaacism!”
Thank G-d he managed to make Band of Brothers before his brain turned to mush.
Thatisall.

LC & IB Alexthechick isn’t in the least bit equivocating on the issue of whether or not it is “unconstitutional” that the Westboro Phaggot Phelpses are being brought before the Supreme Court in the case of them harassing and disrupting a hero’s funeral in the name of their “faith.”
The Westboro freaks can go fuck themselves.
…and she’s absolutely right in stating that nobody’s “rights” are being violated by those swine being held accountable for their actions, and makes an excellent and entirely accurate case for it.
You have a right to hold any opinion you bloody well want to, and you have a right to express it.
What you do NOT have a right to is to deliberately hurt anybody with your opinions and to be held blameless for the consequences of your actions. You have a right to call somebody an asslicking goatfucker to his face, but you do NOT have a right to not get punched in the face immediately thereafter.
Also, we might add, the 1st Amendment only protects you from Congress making it illegal for you to have an opinion. It does not protect you from being legally liable for intentional inflictions of emotional distress.
Take the “shouting FIRE in a crowded theatre” scenario, which is being misunderstood every time it’s being mentioned. No, Congress can NOT make it illegal for you to do so, the fact that you get punished afterwards isn’t some “exception” to Freedom of Speech. You certainly have the freedom to do so.
What you will be punished for is the damages and possible deaths and injuries happening as a direct and foreseeable result of your shouts.
Actions, consequences, liability for those consequences. It really is quite simple and it has nothing whatsoever to do with Freedom of Speech.
As is the case with the Phelps Phaggots. They most assuredly do have a right to be as obnoxious as they like in public. What they do not have a right to is to escape liability when the exercise of said rights lead to entirely foreseeable, indeed inevitable consequences in the shape of emotional distress, and the fact that they do so with malice aforethought, knowing exactly the kind of hurt they’re inflicting (and if you don’t agree with that, consider how likely it would be that they’d be standing around bellowing and hollering if nobody cared) only closes the case as far as we’re concerned. That the 4th Circuit of Morons don’t understand that basic premise only proves what a bunch of illiterate clowns they are, and that’s why we have a Supreme Court.
Thatisall.

Thanks to Sir Christopher, who lets us know that Sean Penn has done it again. He has once again out-stupided himself.
Penn, appearing on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher” on Friday, defended Chavez during a segment in which he detailed his work with the JP Haitian Relief Organization, which he co-founded.
“Every day, this elected leader is called a dictator here, and we just accept it, and accept it” said Penn, winner of two Best Actor Academy Awards. “And this is mainstream media, who should — truly, there should be a bar by which one goes to prison for these kinds of lies.”
…at which point we could go on to say something about how there ought to be a bar for how stupid you could be and still be allowed to speak in public, how Hollyweirdos are a bunch of Stalinist freaks who’d like nothing more than to send everybody else to the Gulags while, simultaneously, whining about “fascism” and “censorship” whenever their tired, Marxist bromides don’t sell in the public marketplace, or how Sean Penn ought to be prison-raped with a 2×4 wrapped in razor wire.
Instead, we’ll just thank him for, once again, demonstrating just WHY nobody should pay any attention whatsoever to what Hollyweird airheads say, do or “think.”

A seventeen-year-old kid, the son of a friend of LC Krondax’s, who was brutally murdered recently. A suspect has been arrested.
If that suspect turns out to be the murderer, or when somebody else is determined to be the murderer, the entire focus will then be, as we all know, on how to be “humane” and “reasonable” when it comes to determining his punishment. Not a single moment of thought will be spent on considering that that animal isn’t even human, that he brutally murdered an innocent and not only took him out of the lives of those who knew and loved him, but destroyed everything that Jason could ever have been.
It will be all about the murderer, and nobody will give a damn about the murdered.
But we can find comfort in the fact that, even though earthly justice has been rendered worthless thanks to our own spinelessness and cowardly failure to do what has to be done, heavenly justice is unaltered. Animals in human guise walk among us and we have chosen, due to our own cowardice, to ignore that fact. Fortunately, our failings, our worthlessness, our unwillingness to face the wolves among us doesn’t change eternal justice. But it does say a great deal about us, and none of it good.
But that doesn’t bring Jason back to us. So we offer our prayers, our condolences for what pitifully little they’re worth, to the friends and loved ones of Jason Grau. May G-d give them strength and the knowledge that justice will be done and that they will all meet again.
We cannot imagine the pain they’re in now, but we can pray that Almighty G-d will lessen the load.
And we will.
Thatisall.

Both to start of the celebrations and to give you a thread to talk about it in.
Adam Gadahn, the goat farmer and traitor to his own country, has been nabbed.
No, the “goat farmer” isn’t just a random insult, that’s actually what he used to be. No wonder he ended up with — those people.
Our celebrations are tempered by the fact that he was captured, however, as opposed to “scraped out of a hole in the ground.” Because now we’ll be treated to yet another miscarriage of justice where “compassion” supersedes the Rule of Law. See “Johnny Walker Lindh, traitor who dodged proper punishment for his crimes because ‘law’ doesn’t mean anything anymore.”
There is only one proper punishment for treason, and that is hanging by the neck until dead. Our forefathers knew it, as a matter of fact it the crime of treason is specifically mentioned in the Constitution, but he won’t ever face that punishment. A horde of liberal lawyers, friends of Ogabe, will stampede to defend that vermin and he will be granted a lifetime of being taken care of, on the taxpayers’ dime.
Which serves no purpose other than to declare to the world that we are a nation who has lost its direction, a nation that will suffer any insult, any crime, as long as we’re not seen to be “mean.”
A nation that no longer deserves to exist.
There is no higher crime than to betray your own, and those who do so must be eliminated. Mercilessly and publicly. Not out of a sense of revenge, but to establish an example, an example so horrible, horrifying, as to discourage anybody on the fence from doing the unspeakable. And to declare to the world that those who violate that most sacred concord, the concord of brotherhood, the concord of honoring your oath, removes you from humanity.
You are no longer human if you cross that line.
Without that rule, no society of man can long survive.
And we don’t have that anymore.
We have become too weak, and our decline is as just as it is inevitable.
Unless we find our way again.
Thatisall.

We keep insisting on hearing this sort of thing if we’re ever to even consider the “muslims are against terrorism too” claim, so when we do find an example, it’s incumbent upon us to cheer it on. A “duty” that we find not hard at all. (h/t DPUD)
:British imams must do more to condemn terrorism without any “ifs or buts” and should pronounce suicide bombers as “unbelievers” who are destined for hell, a leading Islamic scholar declared yesterday.
…
The 59-year-old scholar, who has written more than 400 books on Islamic jurisprudence, told fellow Muslims: “Terrorism is terrorism, violence is violence and it has no place in Islamic teaching and no justification can be provided for it, or any kind of excuses of ifs and buts. The world needs an absolute, unconditional, unqualified and total condemnation of terrorism”.
That’s what we’re talking about. No wishy-washy half condemnations diluted by excuses, “legitimate” grievances etc. etc. etc.
As far as the 72 virgins go? Watch him crank it up to 11:
He also denounced those who try to justify suicide bombings by claiming Muslims who carry out such operations are martyrs destined for paradise. “They can’t claim that their suicide bombings are martyrdom operations and that they become the heroes of the Muslim umma [Islamic community],” he said. “No, they become the heroes of hellfire and they are leading towards hellfire. There is no place for any martyrdom and their act is never, ever to be considered jihad [holy struggle].”Emphasis ours — Emp. M.]
…
Dr Qadri’s ruling also goes further than most previous edicts by describing terror acts as so morally unjustifiable that they represent acts of “kufr” (disbelief). Most previous rulings only go as far as calling terrorism “haram” (forbidden). Kufr acts are so serious that those committing them essentially forfeit their right to call themselves Muslims.
To sum up: “Terrorists are infidels, cannot call themselves Muslims and will burn in Hell for their actions.”
You don’t get much clearer than that, and we salute Dr Qadri, sheikh ul-Islam, for standing up and stating, unequivocally, that which needs to be stated, not by “infidels” like us because our words don’t matter to wannabe extremists, but by people with authority within their own religion.
They are the only hope that we will ever be able to co-exist, and we wish them all the best. Because whereas we surely can eradicate a threat and thus solve the problem once and for all, that doesn’t mean that we want to or that it’s even remotely desirable.
This planet has a dog’s breakfast of various beliefs and non-beliefs and, in general, even though we’ll never agree completely, we’ve all managed to live and let live and agree to disagree. The only exception, the only creed that has so far refused to even consider playing nice with others, is Islam.
Islamic authorities speaking up, clearly and unequivocally, against this mindset are the ones we need to back, because they represent a chance for us to avoid something horrible. Necessary, but horrible nonetheless.
Thatisall.
