When Men Were…..Men

When Men Were…..Men

I don’t want to go back in time, but I sure wish that our current batch of snowflakes had the moral compass of the old days. How do you think a militant mexican transgendered bi-lesbian curious whatever, which the military is now accepting in their ranks, would hold up around the men of “The Greatest Generation”?

“Called “The Greatest Generation” and for good reason.

“What all these fellas had in common was morals, sense of community, honor, strength, the good old virtues. They vibed calm, deadly if necessary; do the right thing always, no speaking falsely, word is my bond. No showboating or colorful language tossed around just to hear themselves talk, no hey look at me how important I am sort of conduct.

“These guys were by no means exceptional or heavy-duty. They were just regular fellas, living life and doing things the right way, same as all over the country, men of that generation, Americans to their last breath. What they didn’t do was talk like some kinda punks that had paper assholes. They didn’t have to. They knew their strength and were secure with it.tumblr_n9gk9rtlLv1tipu2so1_500

“If you didn’t work you didn’t eat. That’s pretty basic. Didn’t have to think about injustices to migrant workers or whether women were getting paid the same or whether queers could get married. They weren’t reluctant about calling some folks deadbeats, moochers, parasites, like, gee, it’s gonna hurt their feelings. People back then (including the women folk who were a hell of a lot stronger than the men sometimes) people had some clear understanding of morals, civic duty, work together-ness.” Here

I think men like the late Chris Kyle remind us of what American men should be. I hope and pray that there are more just like him still in military service.

Man Down

They Are What They Have Always Been

They Are What They Have Always Been

I’ll give you a real world example. Morocco is presently very politely Westernized, insofar as any Muslim country can be. The hip young king even married a red-headed Berber wife who looks like Maureen O’Sullivan, God help me. She appears with him in Western dresses with flowing tresses. He is making a point. One wife, hair out, shoulders in dress like Paris. It is a signal, one of many. Surfers from Europe flock to Moroccan waves, tourists flock along the promenades. European bathing suits and customs are tolerated along the beach strips. You can buy wine and beer at shops run by Christians, near the beaches.

But brother, it could turn on a dime, and the enlightened king can be beheaded and replaced by a spiritual brother of Bagdadi, swearing allegiance to the new IS caliphate. Don’t rule it out, ever. Every century or two there is a new self-proclaimed Mahdi. Bagdadi is calling himself the Caliph, and all must swear loyalty to him. The black flag with the white ball logo is his personal mark, to distinguish it from generic Al Queda or Hamas black flag with the shahada all on one line.

Islam is unreformable. Its unchangeable blueprint–the Koran–always gives a handle to maniacs who can recruit armies of brainwashed killer zombie mutant humanoids. keep reading

Speak Softly But……

Speak Softly But……

You get the reference if your over fifty, and the Obama regime could learn a few things.

Imagine a general from August 2013 being sent back in time to take over the war in August 1945 and then watch as American soldiers are given handbooks on Japanese culture, forced to attend Shinto ceremonies and sent out without artillery and air support to avoid alienating the local population. The command dedicates much of its time to emphasizing that its war is not with Japan or the Japanese people, but a tiny minority of fanatical extremists.

And then watch as the war goes on for two decades.

Such a course might seem more merciful or moral, but it’s neither. It prolongs the pain and suffering for both sides.

The failure by the stronger side to conclude a war when it has the upper hand is not kindness; it’s cruelty. It perpetuates the conflict endlessly, dragging it out and opening the door for a prolonged civilian resistance with all the horrors that terrorism and guerrilla warfare can inflict on both sides.

So quit the token political strike bullshit with ISIS, get it done with every force imaginable. It’s time for a strong message. If Obama doesn’t have the balls, it’s time for a military leader to step up.

There’s some old advice about not drawing a gun unless you intend to use it. It’s true for individuals and for nations. If you go to war, then you had better mean it. Wars are bloody and messy. They’re not for the sort of people who think that putting “Smart” ahead of something automatically makes it better. And “meaning it” means being committed to crushing the enemy. keep reading

Now America faces an enemy whose chief power is hate. The Islamic terrorist has no other real asset except his hate. Unfortunately hate is our weakness. We are an empire terrified of being hated, a world power that shrivels at the thought that someone might not like us. And so the nation that dropped two atomic bombs in August 1945 wilts before the hatred of the Kamikazes of the Koran.

The Obama Regime has zero idea what it’s doing.

The fall of Iraq and our equipment now in the hands of ISIS (Al Qaida).

The equipment is reportedly being taken to Syria to fight Assad’s forces.

I guess this generation now knows how it felt for Vietnam vets as they watched Saigon fall. History is repeating itself.

Answer The Question

Answer The Question

Did Bergdahl desert his post or not? Susan Rice said he served honorably, Sean Smith, a soldier who was in his outfit said he deserted. So what is it? Rumor has it his disappearance was under investigation as a deserter, well you can’t have it both ways.

If he deserted he should have been left to the Taliban. If it was a misunderstanding and he was captured against his will then I’m glad he is back. Either way somebody has some ‘splainin to do.

His Dad certainly does not promote a lot of faith in the latter.

At the end of the brief event, the soldier’s father, Bob Bergdahl, recited the most frequent phrase in the Koran — “Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim” —which means “In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Compassionate.”

After Bergdahl finished his statement and his praise for Allah, Obama hugged him.

Obamas Got 99 Problems…

Obamas Got 99 Problems…

…but the Ukraine ain’t one of ’em. Not that he does not want to fix, it’s the how that has him and his minions stymied.

The other bias is against raw IQ. Mass media is most likely the fault here. Using the Big Five personality types, our politicians will all score high on extroversion and agreeableness. These are not the traits common with deep thinkers or people challenging convention. The vast layer just below the waterline, made up of aides, appointed managers and consultants are primarly spear catchers and bomb throwers. These people got to where they are by displaying fierce loyalty and shrewd timing. They knew when to back the winners and when to avoid the losers. None of them are there to rethink anything.

A stable of yes men may make you feel good about yourself, but does little to solve problems.

I’d add that meddling by careerist barnacles like Victoria Nuland is the real problem. The semi-permanent foreign policy bureaucracy has purged itself of anyone not fully in support of empire. That means anyone bright enough to challenge the prevailing policies is hustled out and replaced with a spear catcher. The result is an army of credentialed nitwits backed by the worlds biggest economy and the world’s baddest military. America in the realm of foreign policy is Justin Bierber with a shotgun. read more

Patriotism Is Never Corny – Means More Today

Patriotism Is Never Corny – Means More Today

I’ve lived the literal meaning of the ‘land of the free’ and ‘home of the brave.’ It’s not corny for me. I feel it in my heart. I feel it in my chest. Even at a ball game, when someone talks during the anthem or doesn’t take off his hat, it pisses me off. I’m not one to be quiet about it, either. – Chris Kyle
