Now that's class ...

Mac was touring Columbia, the center piece of the Western Hemisphere's war with narco-terrorism and certainly a nation wrapped up in the more "controversial" aspects of free trade (at least in certain battleground states come this fall). And of course, during a "presser" (press conference lingo) he was asked of Obama's more protectionist attitudes (a result of union influence within the Democrat Party) and he refused to discuss Obama whatsoever noting that it is inappropriate to criticize a member of the United States Senate, especially one that's a presidential candidate, while on foreign soil. He unloaded on him once they got in the air of course, but the "not on foreign soil" got my attention. Especially when contrasted with Wes Clark's performance the other day. The former NATO commander, retired general, former Democrat presidential candidate and an all around SCHMUCK went on television and stated that "Riding around in a fighter jet doesn't qualify you to be president...", referring to McCain. Riding around? RIDING AROUND? Is that what he did? Went on a joy ride with his pop's car? What an ass-wipe. To denigrate not his political stances but his 5 years as a POW in the Hanoi Hilton is ... well... like I said, he's an ass-wipe. It is little wonder that while at NATO Command he earned the nick name "blow-dried Napoleon." Somebody bitch slap this guy please..... ugh.

I'M SO BACK!!!

Just got the computer hooked up. This is so sweet, just clicking onto the login and actually being able to post without fifteen different tries and the loss of countless pages of priceless contributions.

I'll post more about the current debate in a bit. Just had to share this moment. Now the kids are going to bogart my machine.

"Operation Moyle"

That's my suggestion to the Israeli Air Force as to naming their mission into Iran. If you know what a Moyle is (or does, concerning young men) then you should be chuckling by now.

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - An Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear sites looks "unavoidable" given the apparent failure of sanctions to deny Tehran technology with bomb-making potential, one of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's deputies said on Friday.

"If Iran continues with its program for developing nuclear weapons, we will attack it. The sanctions are ineffective," Transport Minister Shaul Mofaz told the mass-circulation Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper.

"Attacking Iran, in order to stop its nuclear plans, will be unavoidable," said the former army chief who has also been defense minister.

It was the most explicit threat yet against Iran from a member of Olmert's government, which, like the Bush administration, has preferred to hint at force as a last resort should U.N. Security Council sanctions be deemed a dead end.

Iran has defied Western pressure to abandon its uranium enrichment projects, which it says are for peaceful electricity generation rather than bomb-building. The leadership in Tehran has also threatened to retaliate against Israel -- believed to have the Middle East's only atomic arsenal -- and U.S. targets in the Gulf for any attack on Iran.

Mofaz also said in the interview that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has called for Israel to be wiped off the map, "would disappear before Israel does."


Subsequent to each of these statements, made near the end of June, Israel has conducted war game maneuvers. More than 100 Israeli warplanes, including F-15s and F-16s, refueling tankers and helicopters for pilot rescue, were involved in the military exercise, and flew as much as 900 miles across the Mediterranean and back. Anyone want to guess what the distance is from the primary Israeli Air base to Tehran? Ya, 900 miles. We're going to wake up in a few weeks to smoldering Iranian facilities.

****

And this falls under the heading of GUARANTEED to make Titus PUKE! The one the only, that colossal of media purveyors, my friend, he's like an uncle to me (and we actually spoke once) ... Rush Limbaugh has shattered all media records by inking a deal with Clear Channel to extend his broadcast through 2016 for a whopping .... drum roll ...... $400,000,000.00. That's right, 400 mil over 8 years raises his current earnings from 38 mil a year to 50. This outpaces all network anchor salaries, combined. He says he's buying a G550 private jet.... sounds cool.

On 'Frisco...

I think it's all about "over-compensation".

In Jan of 1942, the US Naval Commander of West Coast Forces began working closely with the city fathers of San Francisco, CA. Their purpose? To stop suspected spies and sabatoge attempts on US defense and naval facilities.

For the next 6 months, the pace at which San Francisco worked to remove ALL ethnically Japanese people from its limits is staggering. The ONLY reason the then Governor didn't enthusiastically support the measure was because it would necessitate the importing of "troublesome" Negros and Mexican laborer to replace the "Nips".

Doubt me? Look HERE! It's all there, in their own words!

All this "pc" crap is San Francisco's way of "making up" for old sins. Perhaps they should look a little further back and see just who it was that did the bulk of the work digging survivors out of the wreckage that was San Francisco in 1906. That same link shows that it was the US Army and Navy that supplied the bulk of the food, water, and medical supplies that kept the city going in the initial months after the quake.

But they won't allow the very distinguished (damn near sacred!) USS Iowa (BB61) to take her rightful place as a museum ship in their harbor?

I say let 'em sink into the Pacific when the next one hits...

City by the Bay

Badboy queried, "Have those freaks (San Fransisco) lost their mind?"

I'll start ... Jambo & Titus you jump in when I get hoarse.

In a word, yes. They have shed all pretenses of lucidity and did so some time ago. One could write a non-fiction work rivaling in length that of War and Peace on nothing but the counter intuitive policies, politics and people this city has produced. This is after all the same demon womb that spawned the likes of Nancy Pelosi. Seriously, they looked around and said this is the best we've got, and with a straight face (although "straight" figures little into the San Fransisco psyche). Not to mention the current mayor, Gavine Neusome, whom is by all accounts militantly pro-gay while clinging to the claim of heterosexuality. Forget the fact that he rides (no pun intended) prominently in the gay pride parade each year, Swarzchenegger nearly had to send state troopers to confront Nuesome some 12 months ago. Why? Long before the CA Supreme Court ruling he was issuing illegal marriage licenses to homosexual couples and marrying them - HIMSELF - on the steps of the city courthouse.

Add to this that a town famously associated with the US Navy now is infamously hostile towards all things military. Besides backing campus initiatives to eject military recruiters from every and all institute of higher learning within their municipality, the city council has prohibited allowing mothballed carriers and other vessels from becoming harbored as a museum in their ports - under the claim they choose not to honor war making nor those things that enable it.

Illegals? They've been a sanctuary city for decades, but other big cities claiming that policy should blush when compared with the SF record. This policy forbade city law enforcement from in any way shape or form attempting to ascertain a suspects legal status. You realize we're not talking about a cop walking up to a group of Hispanics and asking if they're here legally, rather we're talking about having a suspect already in custody, under arrest for a separate crime - not even then may law enforcement question nor research his or her legal status in this country. In addition they are prohibited by law from "dropping a dime" to ICE on any suspected illegal (even if he is already in custody for a nonrelated offense, including violent offenders), nor are they allowed to work in conjunction with INS in any coordinated way. This new policy you wrote of Badboy, I'll agree, has pushed their madness to a whole new level. From what I gather the city will even fly juvenile illegals accused of drug dealing back to their South of the border country of origin in order to avoid prosecution should a rouge DA actually try and do his job. Now think about that. The tax payer in the city of San Fransisco is paying the salary of the entire city DA's office so that he may punish criminal offenders. That same tax payer is funding flights for the escape of the criminally accused. And the city council is orchestrating both simultaneously. Their madness seems to know no end.

I have long been of the opinion that if Western Civilization as we know it is truly being pushed over the proverbial cliff, then San Fran is doing an awful lot of the shoving.

WTF!!!!!!! over

This was the headline from foxnews.com.

"A sanctuary ordinance in San Francisco is protecting young drug dealers from federal deportation in what a U.S. prosecutor is calling a "gaming of the system" for illegal immigrants."

How in the hell does a city get an ordinance put in place that young criminals and in this case crack dealers that are illegal aliens get put in a group home instead of jail? Then they just leave the group home and go back to dealing drugs. The ordinance makes it illegal for a city employee to inform ICE that they have an illegal alien in custody.

THESE ARE CRIMINALS!!!!!!!

Why in the good lords name would you not want them deported, my guess is that most of them are members of a MS13 clique and on top of dealing drugs they are dangerously violent too. Have these freaks lost their minds?

Baddboy
