Reports - Embassy Marines Not Permitted Live Ammo

I'm just gonna link to Ace for this, as I'm slowly but surely losing my composure.

I'd rather not post something for which I'll be sorry later.

I'm sure all fourteen of you understand my frustration.

And I hope you share it too.

"Dishonorable Disclosures" - the Video

By now, you've probably heard about the group called the Special Operations OPSEC Education Fund. They're a group of current and former military intelligence folk who are rightly concerned with the high-level leaks coming from the Obama administration.

Here's a link to TheBlaze on this group's efforts to contain Obama and his cronies disgraceful and dangerous leaks of information.

And here's their video, Dishonorable Disclosures. Enjoy.


Send them some money if you can.

Why All the Ammo Purchases, Barry?

First we discover that the Department of Education has a SWAT team. (Their motto: Thinking of skipping school? Think Again.)

Yesterday, we found out that the National Weather Service has purchased 46,000 rounds of hollow-point ammunition and a few paper targets. There must be some really, really nasty storms coming.

Today, the Social Security Administration purchased 174,000 hollow-point rounds.

I assume they're expecting seniors to try something soon?

Why would they think that?

Russian Sub Patrols Gulf of Mexico Undetected

Still think we don't have enemies? Then 'splain it to me Lucy how a Russian nuclear sub managed to patrol our Gulf of Mexico for weeks without being detected?

And this isn't just any Russian nuclear-powered sub. It has a full complement of long-range, nuclear cruise missiles.

“Sending a nuclear-propelled submarine into the Gulf of Mexico-Caribbean region is another manifestation of President Putin demonstrating that Russia is still a player on the world’s political-military stage,” said naval analyst and submarine warfare specialist Norman Polmar.

And Obama wants to cut our sub defense, along with everything else in our military?

Sleep well tonight...

Memorial Day 2011

This will be a short post, because I know all seven of you have things to do today, like cooking out, ot going to the beach if you have one handy, or maybe attending a Memorial Day parade.

Whatever you do today, please keep in mind your fellow Americans who are currently serving and especially remember those who have paid the ultimate price for your freedom. Keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

I'll post a few links that I found this morning in my travels. These were stolen from contributed by the sites in the sidebar. I hope you enjoy them.

Honor the Fallen.

As you may know, Memorial Day was started shortly after the Civil War. Here's a link to the recounting of a battle from that war, The Bloody Angle at Spotsylvania.

Happy Memorial Day, y'all.

False Christians - The Westboro Baptist Church

Fox News.com has this headline “Supreme Court Sides with Westboro Baptist Church on Marine Funeral Protest.”

I can understand the Court’s ruling. I wholeheartedly support the effort to protect everyone’s right to free speech and assembly. But protesting at military funerals because you don’t agree with government policy is misguided at best. At worst, and this is what we’re seeing and hearing from this group, it amounts to harassment of innocent families of the fallen. Common sense should tell the people that directing their ire at a soldier’s funeral instead of the government is the wrong thing to do. If it’s Pentagon policies you disagree with, why not protest there? Somebody needs to tell these folk a thing or two about the Bible and the teachings of Jesus.

They are wrong.

They maintain they don’t like homosexuality or homosexuals. That’s fine. You’re free to believe anything you wish. But heckling, shouting, and carrying signs at what should be a somber event just shows how depraved these people really are.

They are not Christians

What’s even worse, their actions are giving Christianity a bad name, and leading the uninformed to think that all Christians think as they do. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Yet, the media is more than happy to give them publicity in order to smear the faith by association with this fringe group. And make no mistake, this group is about as far out on the edges of religion as you can get. I can call myself a brain surgeon, but that doesn’t make me one.

As a short review of history will confirm, Christianity, like America, has always had an image problem. Those on the outside tend to view it through a distorted lens. Those on the inside know differently, but often find it difficult to project the proper understanding of it due to the preconceived notions that all Christians are alike, which this “church” seems more than happy to promote.

Thankfully, the Bible gives us a yardstick with which to measure folks: Matthew 7:16 “By their fruit, you will recognize them.” Note a subtle distinction: it’s the actions, not the words, you should watch. You can also apply this to politics. I sure do. All the flowery prose in the world can’t disguise a corrupt soul.

So, using God’s Gage, these despicable acts show us who these people really are. They could just as easily show compassion for the families of these fallen soldiers and attend the funerals quietly in a silent show of support for their sacrifice. The fact that they don’t should tell you all you need to know about them. They are in no way Christian. Their protests make a mockery of a solemn ceremony. There is no love in their hearts, nor forgiveness, nor compassion. In fact, everything I’ve seen and heard from them tells me that they worship themselves and their ego, not God or Jesus.

And this Christian denounces them.

While Obama Dismisses War on Terror, Muslim Brotherhood Declares War on US

There is a disturbing trend among many in Washington to dismiss the War on Terror as a fabrication of knuckle-dragging right-wing-nuts who drool at the prospect of creating some non-existent boogieman to skewer. This trend reaches to the top of the Obama administration who has famously renamed the War on Terror with the vapid term “Overseas Contingency Operations.” Acts of terror are now referred to as “Man-caused disasters.” Even our military forces must contend with the lack of seriousness emanating from the poison of political correctness in the Pentagon in the form of rules of engagement that make no sense and seem designed specifically to place our fighting forces in a position of weakness.

This trend is a disturbing one because it ignores a very fundamental truth: We have enemies.

Part of this dangerous psychology is denial. Some folks just cannot accept the fact that others don’t like them. The false ideas contained in the concepts of political correctness are also to blame. There is a catch-phrase the ignorant left loves to use to disregard any warning concerning the real intentions of radical islam – when faced with actual arguments, they invariably start screeching “islamophobia” with all the idiocy they can muster. Even after the massacre of 9/11, there are those who deny what is right before their eyes.

However, all of the arguments and all of the new-age pop psychology that is employed by the leftist have just been tossed out the window.

The Muslim Brotherhood has officially declared war on America.

That means you and me.

The history of islam is one of a constant effort to conquer the world through any means available. By the sword. By the word. By the courts. By patience. By cunning. By using our assets against us.

Every day, there is some example of the oppression of islam somewhere in the world. Whether it be “morality police” forcing men to cut their hair a certain way, forced clitorectomies, honor killings, brainwashing children and teaching them to hate others, the list of barbarities is long. How long must the world tolerate these things? What will it take before we awaken from our national slumber to the realization that there were many in the Arab world who danced in the streets upon learning that Moslems plowed two American airplanes into the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001?

Maybe this will do it.

Some of us are starting to fight back. A group vowing to fight "Islamofascism" has launched a media blitz in Oklahoma supporting a state constitutional amendment that would prohibit the courts from considering Islamic or other international law when ruling on cases in Sooner State courtrooms. Naturally, the muslim superiority group CAIR rose up out of their slime to denounce the initiative as, you guessed it, “islamophobia” and another example of muslims being unfairly targeted.

I ran across this little piece over at National Review Online that is worth your time, especially if you have yet to decide if the Ground Zero mosque is a good idea. Here’s the intro,

Imagine that there really were these fundamentalist Christian terror cells all over the United States, as the Department of Homeland Security imagines. Let’s say a group of five of these terrorists hijacked a plane, flew it to Mecca, and plowed it into the Kaaba.

Now let’s say a group of well-meaning, well-funded Christians — Christians whose full-time job was missionary work — decided that the best way to promote healing would be to pressure the Saudi government to drop its prohibition against permitting non-Muslims into Mecca so that these well-meaning, well-funded Christian missionaries could build a $100 million dollar church and community center a stone’s throw from where the Kaaba used to be — you know, as a bridge-building gesture of interfaith understanding.


What do you suppose President Obama, Mayor Bloomberg, the New York Times, and other Ground Zero mosque proponents would say about the insensitive, provocative nature of the proposal?

Indeed.

This is a war the Obama administration clearly does not know how to fight. Or does it? In his book The Audacity of Hope, Obama clearly states that he will “side with muslims should the political winds of war shift in an ugly direction.”

Is there any other way for the wind to shift during the hell of war, Mr. President?

What then are we to expect of you, Mr. President, given your published intention to side with our enemies? Should we really expect anything except rules of engagement that favor the enemy? Should we expect anything except mislabeling what is clearly a war? Should we expect that you would want to give our enemies the hard-won rights and liberties that our forebears died for inside our very own courts?

What should we expect from you?

ABC News Discovers "Secret Jesus Bible Codes" on Military Equipment!

In a daring expose, ABC News has discovered the shocking revelation that a supplier of gun sights has been putting “Secret Jesus Bible Code” on their products. These codes are so super-duper secret that nobody is able to decipher their obviously nefarious meaning. It’s blatantly Christian, so there has to be some vast, right wing cabal of shadowy figures, known only to a privileged few, guiding this plot to undermine Western civilization.

The finest minds in academia coupled with the awe-inspiring power of many university supercomputers are currently working overtime on this mystery. These codes are so secret, no one has ever seen them before.

The reporters at ABC are dumbstruck. What could they mean? What is their meaning? What could they possibly refer to? How could they mean what they possibly refer to, and what, then, does that mean? Film at 11.
