Day: December 6, 2005

Just yesterday, I saw an article over at Michelle Malkin’s place which sent me into a complete rage:

According to Kilmeade, who visited Walter Reed on Friday, a US Army soldier named Joshua Sparling received the death wish while recovering from a gunshot wound he received in Ramadi, Iraq. It’s the only Christmas card he received.

I don’t think that David would mind me saying that this is an absolute, obscene atrocity!The story was originally reported by Two Babes and a Brain –

During our visit to Walter Reed, we all piled into a room of a young soldier who had just come out of surgery. His parents were there to take care of him. His room was decorated with autographed photos…one from Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac who had visited the previous day…others of professional football players. There was also a card from a child…a get well card…

..or so one would think.

FoxNews has carried the story, and has put out a call for people to send cards, notes, encouragement, and support to Joshua Sparling, who recieved that hateful letter, as well as his comrades-in-arms who are recuperating at Walter Reed Army Medical Center:

Capt. James Ollinger
Sgt. Zavian Simspon
Specialist Brian Radke
Specialist Jason Braase
Sgt. David Nevins
Sgt. Jose Ramos
Cpl. Todd Bishop
Sgt. Ryan Donnelly
Sgt. Eva Diane Cochran

Please address your cards to the servicemember at this address:

C/O Walter Reed Army Medical Center
6900 Georgia Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20307-5001

Thank you so much for your support of our brave and honorable troops; let us all make sure that they know we are greatful for their service, and greatly honor their courage and sacrifice!

In a weird flashback to 1971 (when he testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and uttered his now infamous slander of soldiers serving in Vietnam), Jean Fraud sKerry utteres these words on national television (Face the Nation), Sunday, December 5, 2005:

JOHN KERRY: I don’t agree with that. But I think what we need to do is recognize what we all agree on, which is, you’ve got to begin to set benchmarks for accomplishment; you’ve got to begin to transfer authority to the Iraqis, and there is no reason, Bob, that young American soldiers need to be going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children, uh-uh-uh, you know, women, breaking sort of the customs of the — of — of — of — historical customs, religious customs, whether you like it or not. Iraqis should be doing that. And after all of these two and a half years, with all of the talk of 210,000 people trained, there just is no excuse for not transferring more of that authority.

That’s right, Jean Fraud sKerry said American soldiers are terrorists. What other construction can one put on it? “…there is no reason, Bob, that young American soldiers need to be going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children…”

What is even more bizarre is that he then goes on to say that Iraqi soldiers should be the ones “terrorizing” Iraqi citizens. Parse the sentence. it’s what he actually said.

And this idiotic, traitorous, slanderous son of a bitch wanted to be President? Why is he still a Senator and not impoverished for his slander and executed for his treason?

There’s a very special place in hell for you Jean Fraud. May nature and nature’s God escort you there with all due haste.

This has been a bonus “Jean Fraud sKerry where’s your damned 180?” post. toodle on over to Cao’s for less virulent fare.

[This post has been redacted to remove my true feelings as unfit for public view.]

BTW, I’d give a hat tip to someone on this but I had a RCOB descend when I saw this during a rare visit to Rush Limbaugh’s site. I guess it goes to Rush. Don’t know exactly what led me there. Whatever.

Around and about for the last coupla days (so far)

Texas politics with national repercussions from freedom folks: Artfully Drawn Districts Tom DeLay has been in the news again recently regarding the redrawing of political districts in Texas. I’ll be honest — I haven’t been following that closely, so I’m not up on all the facts…

[Well, you just knew I’d have a perspective… My take? Republicans took advantage of their first chance to correct Democratic gerrymandering and other abuses of the past 30+ years in Texas. But that’s just me… one man, one vote, and all that.]

IRIS Blog notes more political correctness over-riding free (and honest) speech on campus: Princeton Censors Ex-PLO Speakers; Likely to Hire PLO Professor Princeton U. Says Campus Event Against Terrorism is “Too Inflammatory” Princeton University has cancelled a speaking event by three former Middle East terrorists because it says that the use of the word “terrorist” in the promotion for the event …
 
[yep. Can’t have people calling a spade a spade, even if their first name is Sam or David… Academis Nuts strike again: “Oooo! ‘Terrorist’ is such a loaded term. let’s call them ‘poor, misunderstood members of the [*spit* *gag*] religion of peace”]

The Florida Masochist offers a lesson in semantics and common sense: Bogus Excuse #2 That the person means something entirely different. Case in point here. Judith Miller is no longer working for the NY Times, Scooter Libby is under indictment and now Valerie Plame is leaving the CIA. My view on this entire story remains unchanged.
 
[Can’t have people say what they mean and mean what they say, now! No! Politicians, Mass Media Podpeople and Academia Nuts would all be out of work and loony Left Moonbats would all be in therapy (well those that aren’t already)!]

The Florida Masochist asks a question that’s been keeping folks awake nights (or not): Are Howard Dean and Frank Rich the same person? So its been done before. The Democrats claim Republicans live in the past, when it so often is them in reality. I wouldn’t give much credence to anything Governor Dean says, he is either small minded or don’t know what he is saying more often than no…

[OK, I have to know. Are they? ;-)]

And again, from The Florida Masochist (who’s leaving no electrons for the WindowsXP fish): The Palm Beach Post is going to the dogs For the second time in a month, The Post is featuring people fighting over a pet dog. As amusing or dumb these stories are, the paper is still delinquent on covering the missing Food stamp card story. The real priorities of my hometown newspaper are …
 
[But the pressing question is: did anyone BITE the dog?]

DL, posting at TMH’s Bacon Bits, celebrates the lack of tree-abortion clinics 2,000 years ago: Thank God Its Mother Didn’t Practice “Choice” Cut down a tree, and get howling from the eco-worshiping left. Yet, a daily occurrence of cutting down future gems is exactly the madness of our abortion industry.
 
[heh. Droll, DL… hit ’em again, harder]

And, again at TMH’s Bacon Bits,  DL rolls right on with what might appear to be a rhetorical question… but with DL’s substantive answer, isn’t: Why Do Liberals Hate Bush? Yes, the party of deceit hates Bush, because they hate truth – and Bush is a refreshingly truthful man. They fear his truth, because they know it can defeat their lies.

[Uhm, DL, I think you got almost all the reasons but one: faux liberals (the ones who hate Bush) are just stuck in a retarded emotional development phase… at about 2 years of age. Crybabies.]

Is It Just Me? notes another “reality-based” fantasist: Impudence To The End
Excerpt: Defiantly, Saddam Hussein and his half-brother Barzan Ibrahim al-Tikriti are pictured shouting down the court disrupting what little control the judge has over the proceedings. The outbursts have continued throughout the proceedings so far, riddling …

[Yeh, well I still say Saddam had better hope my Baptist preacher grandfather was wrong in his belief in a literal hell. But in his case, I’d say that’s a slim hope indeed.]

More Israeli news from Tel-Chai Nation: Suicide bomber attacks Netanya mall In another blow to Ariel Sharon’s credibility, a sucide bomber attacked a shopping mall in Netanya today. The Islamic Jihad and Al-Aksa Martyr’s Brigade, the latter which is affiliated with Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah gang, both claimed responsibility

[Appeasement never works… ]

This news from The Land of Ozz reminds me of that old saying about gun control being hitting the target… Merry, Happy, Season’s Greetings from Target
Excerpt: The fight by some to take Christ our of Christmas is running hot. The American Family Association (AFA) is taking a stand against Target for its policy of not using the term “Merry Christmas”. Focus on the Family reports AFA Founder and …
 
[Ready… Aim… ]

The Real Ugly American asks, McCain in 08? Major Garret of Fox news was just on the Bill Bennet Show and stated “many many things are moving in John McCain’s direction for 2008”. He cited as evidence this exchange between McCain and Tim Russert on Meet the Press yesterday…

[And my answer is a prayer: Dear God, I hope not! I can see it now: Snake McCain for President. Gag a maggot.]

Now this post from Stuck On Stupid is what I call an “RCOB”* piece of news: A Disgusting Death Wish To A Soldier Joshua Sparling6900 Georgia Ave NWBldg. 2 Ward 57Washington, DC 20307-5001 That is the address of a soldier that received one card. That Card written in a child’s hand wished him death. That card was the only one that he received in the week that he h…

More later… or not. We’ll see.

Once again, Romeocat has yet another beautiful Advent post. Here’s a musical intro for you. Just play the following as an accompaniment to her citation of the lyrics to “O Come Little Children”.

I recieved some disturbing, but not altogether unexpected, news from an aquaintance in email the other day. It seems the Loony Left Moonbats/Mass Media Podpeople/Hate America First crowd are setting up a straw man argument against immigration control via an ad hominem attack on Colorado Congressman Tom Tancredo.

As I said, it’s not unexpected. The Loony Left Moonbats/Mass Media Podpeople/Hate America First crowd have no real arguments to counter genuine legal, security, economic and even moral arguments in favor of genuine immigration control and cultural assimilation, so they have now begun attempting to tar the Congressman who is most visible and vocal in his attempts to Guard the Borders with the “racist” slur.

Here’s Glenn Greenwald’s take on the matter (a TWCâ„¢ Recommended Read). A sample:

“All in a single one-line post, Oliver Willis manages to perfectly illustrate the cheapest, most intellectually dishonest — and, for those who wield it in the immigration debate, the most self-destructive — form of argumentation.”

Read the whole thing.

What ought we to do? I’m all for a combination of efforts: Jerry Pournelle’s suggestion that we institute a bounty for illegals (with appropriate controls to curb abuses); Dafydd ab Hugh’s “Walls and Gates” (my paraphrase-scroll way down on the linked article) idea-create strong, well-policed, barriers to further illegal immigration and means for those who want to visit/live here legally to do so as well as for those who want to become AMERICAN citizens to do so.

But those who want to circumvent our laws, form their own little enclaves of non-American mini-states (like France has allowed Muslims to do) must be brought to heel.

UPDATE: Fixed the link to the Greenwald article]

The amazing thing is this thing still shows signs of pseudo-life! But the “Grows new feet and tail”? Not so amazing… What great feat is it for Jean Fraud sKerry to grow a new tale? His life is a string one unbelieveable tale after another. From “immaculate conception” (of at least one Purple Heart), through consorting with, giving aid and comfort to the enemy in time of war (while still officially an officer in the Navy), slandering ALL those who served in Vietnam, and flip-flopping his way through a Senate career and Presidential race. Why should every new tale about releasing his records be considered anything new?

What is amazing is that he gets a bye on every lie from a media that will have a feeding frenzy whenever President Bush does not lie (calling honest statements lies when they are not–hmm, sounds familiar. In another context such behavior was attributed to satanic influence… )

A simple question for Senator Jean Fraud sKerry: where are the records you promised 310 days ago, on national television, to release? Still tied up and held “in confidence” at the Boston Glob (not a misspelling), the LA Slimes and with your biographer, all of whom say they do not have release from you to reveal their entire contents? Indeed, none of them indicate that they yet have the entire contents of the records you said you released 200 days ago.

General aside: will someone please set this liar’s [figurative] pants on fire? heh. Maybe then he’d be moved to actually-gasp!-keep his word.

Nah. Then besides a feet and tail he’d also have to grow some integrity. And that’s much harder for something like Jean Fraud sKerry to do. Something on the order of a camel passing through the eye of the needle.
