Checking in...instead of checking out.

One of the interesting things about blogging is that when you start and have absolutely NO audience, you have no expectations and no sense of obligation. You can talk crap, make up stupid stuff, ramble, rant and generally carry on all by yourself. Then people find you and it is thrilling! You exchange comments, you are childishly tickled to death that they would take the time from their day to read your shit, and you think of them as friends. But friends that you must perform for. I know that sounds weird, but there always is this underlying obligation that I must write something WORTHY. This is difficult for me as I have never written anything that is WORTHY in my life, and now that I have developed this sense of responsibility to do so, I've become a recluse...waiting for the WORTHY to kick in.

It hasn't.

So, since I miss my internet friends, I'm going to just write to say hello, I miss meeting you all here, and DOES ANYONE ELSE THINK THE WORLD IS GOING NUTS???

And by nuts, I don't mean the Islamic shootings in Paris and San Bernardino. That is completely rational on their part, given their beliefs, and only to be expected. The insanity is in the West's utter inability to understand and respond appropriately to the threat we face. People are being butchered, crucified, burned alive, raped, shot, and beheaded in the name of a brutal god, and our political betters rush to the microphones to tell us low grade, bare-foot bigots to just hold onto our reactionary, uneducated hatred and settle down.

Hundreds shot dead in Paris and our Beloved President lectures us FROM PARIS about the San Bernardino shooting, saying that this simply doesn't happen anywhere else. While I love irony as much as anyone, this borders on the creepy. And the primary thing our DOJ is worried about is anti-Muslim backlash. You remember how Muslims were being dragged out into the street and set on fire by the hundreds after 9/11, don't you? It was awful. Wouldn't want THAT to happen again.

Hundreds dead in Paris and Obama tells us from Paris that it never happened. Fourteen dead, and Loretta Lynch is more worried about what has never happened than what has just happened.

The world is going nuts!!

The worst thing is that history shows us that when the world starts going nuts, there is no stopping the plunge. We don't come out of the grand mal seizure until it exhausts itself in its own time and millions are dead. I think we are going to see some Very Bad Things very soon.

But one of the things I know for certain about such insanity -- there is nothing any of us can do about it. Not a damn thing. Given that reality, and the fact that I am sitting here alone, having eaten the last of three teeny little chocolate peppermint candies, I am pissed.

But I have a little Cognac left, so I have the proper libation for pondering.

Why are we so stupid?

We refuse to admit there's a connection between the fact that every time a Muslim becomes MORE religious, innocent people end up dead. When Catholics become more religious, they become Mother Theresa. Major difference.

Why are we so scared?

The main argument against recognizing Islam for what it actually is seems to be that there are so many of them that we can't admit the truth. People look at me and gasp, "But there are over a billion of them!" My answer, "So fucking what? That just means we've got some work to do, and we'd better get started."

Why is the West so willing to commit cultural suicide?

Knowing what we do about Islam, why are we letting in hundreds of thousands of unvetted Syrian refugees? Our leaders are either retarded or dangerously treacherous.

And why is SCIENCE! the god of the liberal until it smacks their precious tolerant ideology around? Then you're a religious bigot for using SCIENCE!

Studies prove it.

I get the feeling this administration just isn't on our side. Or on the side of the Constitution. But Joe Walsh is on our side. And on the side of our Constitution. Go, Joe!

There is just so much craziness, and there simply isn't enough Cognac.

Heroes come in all shapes and sizes.

Yesterday was Veteran's Day and many of us around the country were celebrating and remembering loved ones who fought, some who died, in our nation's wars. All were heroes.

But there were other heroes that we should remember. The animals who go into war alongside our soldiers are heroes, too.

There was Judy, the pointer in World War II.

Judy, the prisoner of war.

Judy was the mascot of several ships in the Pacific, was captured by the Japanese in 1942 and taken to a prison camp, there she met Leading Aircraftsman Frank Williams who shared his small portion of rice with her.Judy raised morale in the POW camp giving alarm when poisonous snakes, crocodiles and even tigers approached. She was smuggled out in a rice sack when the prisoners were shipped back to Singapore, she never whimper or betrayed her presence to the guards.

The next day the ship was torpedoed.Williams pushed Judy out of a porthole in an attempt to save her life, even though there was a 15 feet drop to the sea. He made his own escape from the ship, not knowing if Judy had survived. Frank Williams was recaptured and was sent to a new camp without news of Judy's survival. However, stories began being told of a dog helping drowning men reach pieces of debris on which to hold.Williams was giving up hope of finding Judy when she arrived in his new camp. "I couldn’t believe my eyes. As I entered the camp, a scraggy dog hit me square between the shoulders and knocked me over! I’d never been so glad to see the old girl. They spent a year in Sumatra.

"She saved my life in so many ways. The greatest way of all was giving me a reason to live. All I had to do was look at her and into those weary, bloodshot eyes and I would ask myself: What would happen to her if I died? I had to keep going. Even if it meant waiting for a miracle.

Once hostilities ceased, Judy was smuggled aboard a troopship heading to Liverpool.She was awarded the Dickin Medal, "the animals' VC", in May 1946. Her citation reads: "For magnificent courage and endurance in Japanese prison camps, which helped to maintain morale among her fellow prisoners and also for saving many lives through her intelligence and watchfulness". At the same time, Frank Williams was awarded the PDSA's White Cross of St. Giles, the highest award possible, for his devotion to Judy.

Frank and Judy spent the year after the war visiting the relatives of PoWs who hadn't survived; Frank remarked that Judy always seemed to give a comforting presence.Judy died at the age of 13. Frank spent two months building a granite and marble memorial in her memory, which included a plaque which told of her life story.


And Sgt Reckless during the Korean War.





There is even a statue commemorating the horses and mules lost during the Civil War. One and one half MILLION.

Statue stands in the garden of the Library of Revolutionary Times

The plaque at the base of the statue.

Never forget.

Men. Women. Animals.

Heroes all.

It's all about to hit the fan.

There have been a couple of stories that crossed my computer over the last two days that I did not want to write about as they seemed too explosive and, therefore, hopefully not credible.

But the pieces are beginning to fall into place. And not a good place. In fact, it sort of looks like hell.

First, over at Gateway Pundit, there was this post about Jeremiah "God Damn America" Wright admitting that he had made it easy for Obama to practice Christianity without having to renounce Islam.

WTF?

Syria-usly!!!

WTF? If Reverend Wright is to be believed, this is a major, game-changing, "Awwww shit"! moment.

I have always believed that Obama was sympathetic to the Muslim religion, having been born to a Muslim father and raised in a Muslim country, but the idea that he might still consider himself a Muslim is disquieting, to say the least.

Then there was the story, which we've all seen by now of Obama's brother, Malik Obama who is the "bagman" for the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. Of course, we also know that Malik's fund-raising organization was granted non-profit status retroactively to cover his illegal ass by none other than Lois "I didn't do anything wrong so I'll take the Fifth" Lerner, the IRS official accused of holding up the non-profit status of Tea Party applicants for years.

Now we have a chemical weapon attack in Syria carried out by the Assad regime, even though Obama had already opened his big mouth about a red line and how he'd be really pissed if Assad did anything like that and Assad was WINNING and didn't need to piss off Obama or anyone else; he needed only to press on to finish off the rebels. Assad had no reason whatsoever to use chemical weapons and potentially bring the international community down on his head, led by Righteous President Peace Prize. Of course, with Obama leading the charge for military action, the international community said, "You have at it, buckwheat. We'll take a pass on this one. That's your fucking red line." Assad had no way of knowing that the ENTIRE WORLD would abandon Obama. Usually, when you piss off America, you piss off a lot of other powerful countries. Not this time though...but still...Assad would never have taken that chance. He didn't need to. He was winning.

It also seems highly unusual, to say the least, that the Obama administration could know within days who carried out the attack and all the details surrounding the use of sarin gas in a foreign country torn apart by civil war, yet they still haven't been able to piece together what happened in Benghazi where we had numerous diplomatic and covert assets on the ground...or right here in America with Fast and Furious for that matter. "But what difference, at this point, does it make?"

Plenty.

Now we are learning that the attack may well have been carried out by rebel forces intent on provoking an American response from a president seemingly more than eager to "help" and just waiting for an excuse to do so openly.

Belgian Journalist overheard Free Syrian Army members admitting Assad NOT to blame for chemical attack

 

...and from World Net Daily, which I don't normally link to but God Damn IT...this is horrifying!

U.S. military confirms rebels had sarin

 

Yesterday President Peace Prize went on TV to lie through his teeth about God Damn EVERYTHING and now we learn that soldiers are being deployed to Egypt and SYRIA!!!

Obama wants this war. He believes in it. This is not about America or our interests or our safety. This is about establishing the final Caliphate. The Sunnis want the Shiites, politically powerful in Iran and Syria, to get taken out because only one faction of Islam can rule in their world.

Obama is going to do just that for his Sunni homeboys. With our military. With our sons and daughters. With our husbands and wives. With our sisters and brothers.

They are going to be forced to fight for Al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood.

This is monstrous.

You can find me in my closet.
