Okay, now THIS is funny. Yeah, I know it is put out by Moveon yadda yadda yadda. But try to ignore that for a moment and laugh at the humor in it, won’t you?

Now that was funny, wasn’t it? I don’t give a rat’s ass who put it together. It was just clever, that’s all.
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.
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 Brothersbefore his brain turned to mush.
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.”
…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.
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.
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.
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.
Phil “Delete The Data!” Jones has been called out by the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute for his bald-faced lies in front of the British Parliament last week.
Here’s the Swedes response, with some of the really good stuff highlighted.
It has come to our attention, that last Monday (March 1), Dr. Phil Jones, head of the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia (CRU), in a hearing with the House of Commons Science and Technology Committee made a statement in regards to the alleged non-availability for disclosure of Swedish climate data.
Dr. Jones asserted that the weather services of several countries, including Sweden, Canada and Poland, had refused to allow their data to be released, to explain his reluctance to comply with Freedom of Information requests.
This statement is false and misleading in regards to the Swedish data.
All Swedish climate data are available in the public domain. As is demonstrated in the attached correspondence between SMHI (Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute), the UK Met Office and Dr. Jones (the last correspondence dated yesterday March 4), this has been clearly explained to Dr. Jones. What is also clear is that SMHI is reluctant to be connected to data that has undergone “processing” by the East Anglia research unit.
Ouch! That’s gonna leave a mark and hurt like a royal bitch when Phil wakes up in the morning!
F.E.T.E.
PS: If you haven’t got WUWT bookmarked and on your daily “Must Read” list, consider yourself on the “No Wait” list for re-education quality time in the ImperialDungeonGame Room™. We just received a brand-new shipment of DVD’s o’ Doom™ and, without a doubt, these are some of the best to come down the turnpike in quite some time. Let’s just say that Helen Thomas, Nancy Puglosi, The First Yeti, Shillary and Rosie O’Donuts put on a riveting performance that will leave you reaching for rusty spoons to gouge your eyes out with breathless and wanting more.
PPS: Remember, if you comment over at Rev. Anthony’s, please remain civil and leave the “colorful invective” back over here.
No, not really. Having read your response to Teh Won’s announcement that it’s time to subvert the democratic process and ram his HellCare Takeover through by “reconciliation”… By all means, stay on our turf. We’re moved, touched, need-a-smoke now after having read that broadside:
Reconcile this, you distasteful, malevolent little quisling punk – a timely reminder of some words I never thought would have such import during my lifetime.
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
The cause is well known and it is just. When the alleged leader of a democratic republic places his own wishes so above those of the complete body politic, he is no longer worthy of the title, leader, no matter what office he might occupy.
Only a fool with no clear appreciation of, or for, America past and present, would dare undertake what this pustule in the White House is attempting to do. It is contingent upon the Republican Party to undertake every step, every maneuver it can to bring this government to a halt.
…and, believe it or not, it gets even better after that. Read the whole damn thing.
Mark our words, Ogabe: When a government has lost the consent of the governed, and every single damn poll regarding whether or not the governed want your shit sandwich shows that you’ve lost it, in spades, then that government is no longer legitimate. It is a regime, and it is not merely the right, it is the duty of all free men and women to remove said regime, by any means necessary.
The ball is now in DC’s court, which doesn’t exactly give us a lot of hope, considering the track record of those corrupt, self-serving, parasitical vermin, but you, Congress, are the last hope for all of us to get this fixed without it getting really, truly ugly.
We remind you of the oath you swore upon taking office. It is still binding, even though G-d knows that you probably don’t even remember it anymore. You are bound by that oath now to take Hussein the Narcissist and his cronies’ bill, wrap it around a baseball bat, wrap that in barbed wire and shove it down their throats so far it will take surgery to even find it again.
Because if you don’t, then we’ll have to remind you that there are a lot, millions of us out here, who DO take that oath seriously and you DON’T want to be on our shit list if you fail to honor it. You, and you alone at this point, can save our nation from a fate that none of us want, and you WILL be graded on your actions from hereon out, you WILL be held responsible for every ounce of pain our nation will go through if you fail to act and somebody else will have to act for you, and the consequences for you WILL be quite unpleasant.
We urge you to choose wisely.
For your own, and for all of our sakes.
Remember your oath. Because if you don’t, then we will HAVE to remind you.
…if ever you get in a discussion with a damn furriner about whether or not we are a nation of dour, humorless wankers, better hope and pray that they don’t remember this story.
What. The. Fuck. OVER?
So let us see if we get this right: This guy takes his boy to Take Your Child to Work Day, presumably because you tend to, we don’t know, take your child to work on such days, right? THEN he sits the kid down after giving him time to ooooh and aaaah at all the kewl gadgetry that daddy handles on a daily basis, hands him a spare headset and mic and, all the while monitoring the kid closely, tells him to clear a plane sitting on the runway for takeoff.
Which is a really complicated procedure consisting of saying, and we quote: “[insert airline and flight no here], you are cleared for takeoff”, after which the pilot of said plane, sitting out there ready to take off, repeats the instruction to make sure no misunderstanding is involved.
Big. Fucking. Deal. But to listen to about half a million hyperventilating fuckheads screeching, you would think he’d just vectored in a plane to final on a day with zero visibility and heavy crosswinds. “OHNOES. Teh HuMANITY!”
We don’t know much about ATC, just enough to be dangerous, but we DO know that giving a plane clearance to takeoff is about one of the LEAST fraught-with-peril, high-risk situations you’ll ever encounter. The plane has already filed its flight plan and had it approved, it’s already been assigned a slot and a runway, it’s even been taxied to the runway and is basically just sitting there, runway ahead of it, engines ready to spool up, waiting for the “go” word.
But oh dearie ME, this dad actually let his KID issue those edge-of-your-seat, world-in-the-balance, civilization-in-the-palm-of-your-hands words after having carefully coached him and while monitoring him closely just to make abundantly sure that he doesn’t hiccup.
THE WORLD IS GOING TO END! REPENT!!!!ELEVENTY!!!1!!
