Philly phans may (or may not) have booed Sarah Palin and Piper. See JammieWearingFool.
If they did boo, this is also the city that booed Santa Claus, throws "D" batteries at opposing baseball outfielders, iceballs at football refs, and, I believe, a fetal pig in a jar once. She's in good company.

Below are some assembled facts most readers will find interesting. It isn't a long read, but it will...I guarantee...teach you some things you did not know about the Vietnam War and those who served, fought, or died there. Please share it with those with whom you communicate.
Vietnam War Facts: Facts, Statistics, Fake Warrior Numbers, and Myths Dispelled
9,087,000 military personnel served on active duty during the official Vietnam era from August 5, 1964 to May 7, 1975.
2,709,918 Americans served in uniform in Vietnam Vietnam Veterans represented 9.7% of their generation.
240 men were awarded the Medal of Honor during the Vietnam War The first man to die in Vietnam was James Davis, in 1958. He was with the 509th Radio Research Station. Davis Station in Saigon was named for him.
58,148 were killed in Vietnam
75,000 were severely disabled
23,214 were 100% disabled
5,283 lost limbs
1,081 sustained multiple amputations Of those killed, 61% were younger than 21
11,465 of those killed were younger than 20 years old Of those killed, 17,539 were married Average age of men killed: 23.1 years Five men killed in Vietnam were only 16 years old. The oldest man killed was 62 years old. As of January 15, 2 004, there are 1,875 Americans still unaccounted for from the Vietnam War
97% of Vietnam Veterans were honorably discharged
91% of Vietnam Veterans say they are glad they served
74% say they would serve again, even knowing the outcome Vietnam veterans have a lower unemployment rate than the same non-vet age groups. Vietnam veterans' personal income exceeds that of our non-veteran age group by more than 18 percent.
87% of Americans hold Vietnam Veterans in high esteem. There is no difference in drug usage between Vietnam Veterans and non-Vietnam Veterans of the same age group (Source: Veterans Administration Study) Vietnam Veterans are less likely to be in prison - only one-half of one percent of Vietnam Veterans have been jailed for crimes.
85% of Vietnam Veterans made successful transitions to civilian life. Interesting Census Stats and "Been There" Wanabees:
1,713,823 of those who served in Vietnam were still alive as of August,
1995 (census figures). ~ During that same Census count, the number of Americans falsely claiming to have served in-country was: 9,492,958. ~ As of the current Census taken during August, 2000, the surviving U.S. Vietnam Veteran population estimate is: 1,002,511. This is hard to believe, losing nearly 711,000 between '95 and '00. That's 390 per day. During this Census count, the number of Americans falsely claiming to have served in-country is: 13,853,027. By this census, FOUR OUT OF FIVE WHO CLAIM TO BE Vietnam vets are not.

re: #157 JeremyR
The Department of Defense Vietnam War Service Index officially provided by The War Library originally reported with errors that 2,709,918 U.S. military personnel as having served in-country. Corrections and confirmations to this errored index resulted in the addition of 358 U.S. military personnel confirmed to have served in Vietnam but not originally listed by the Department of Defense. (All names are currently on file and accessible 24/7/365).
Isolated atrocities committed by American Soldiers produced torrents of outrage from anti-war critics and the news media while Communist atrocities were so common that they received hardly any media mention at all. The United States sought to minimize and prevent attacks on civilians while North Vietnam made attacks on civilians a centerpiece of its strategy. Americans who deliberately killed civilians received prison sentences while Communists who did so received commendations. From 1957 to 1973, the National Liberation Front assassinated 36,725 Vietnamese and abducted another 58,499. The death squads focused on leaders at the village level and on anyone who improved the lives of the peasants such as medical personnel, social workers, and school teachers. - Nixon Presidential Papers
Common Myths Dispelled:
Myth: Common Belief is that most Vietnam veterans were drafted. Fact: 2/3 of the men who served in Vietnam were volunteers. 2/3 of the men who served in World War II were drafted. Approximately 70% of those killed in Vietnam were volunteers.
Myth: The media have reported that suicides among Vietnam veterans range from 50,000 to 100,000 - 6 to 11 times the non-Vietnam veteran population. Fact: Mortality studies show that 9,000 is a better estimate. "The CDC Vietnam Experience Study Mortality Assessment showed that during the first 5 years after discharge, deaths from suicide were 1.7 times more likely among Vietnam veterans than non-Vietnam veterans. After that initial post-service period, Vietnam veterans were no more likely to die from suicide than non-Vietnam veterans. In fact, after the 5-year post-service period, the rate of suicides is less in the Vietnam veterans' group.
Myth: Common belief is that a disproportionate number of blacks were killed in the Vietnam War. Fact: 86% of the men who died in Vietnam were Caucasians, 12.5% were black, 1.2% were other races. Sociologists Charles C. Moskos and John Sibley Butler, in their recently published book "All That We Can Be," said they analyzed the claim that blacks were used like cannon fodder during Vietnam "and can report definitely that this charge is untrue. Black fatalities amounted to 12 percent of all Americans killed in Southeast Asia, a figure proportional to the number of blacks in the U.S. population at the time and slightly lower than the proportion of blacks in the Army at the close of the war."
Casualty File (CACF) as of November 1993. The CACF is the basis for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial
(The Wall): Average age of 58,148 killed in Vietnam was 23.11 years.
(Although 58,169 names are in the Nov. 93 database, only 58,148 have both event date and birth date. Event date is used instead of declared dead date for some of those who were listed as missing in action) Deaths Average Age Total: 58,148, 23.11 years Enlisted: 50,274, 22.37 years Officers: 6,598, 28.43 years Warrants: 1,276, 24.73 years E1 525, 20.34 years
11B MOS: 18,465, 22.55 years
Myth: The common belief is the average age of an infantryman fighting in Vietnam was 19. Fact:: Assuming KIAs accurately represented age groups serving in Vietnam, the average age of an infantryman (MOS 11B) serving in Vietnam to be 19 years old is a myth, it is actually 22. None of the enlisted grades have an average age of less than 20. The average man who fought in World War II was 26 years of age.

re: #177 JeremyR
Myth: The Common belief is that the domino theory was proved false. Fact: The domino theory was accurate. The ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) countries, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand stayed free of Communism because of the U.S. commitment to Vietnam. The Indonesians threw the Soviets out in 1966 because of America's commitment in Vietnam. Without that commitment, Communism would have swept all the way to the Malacca Straits that is south of Singapore and of great strategic importance to the free world. If you ask people who live in these countries that won the war in Vietnam, they have a different opinion from the American news media. The Vietnam War was the turning point for Communism.
Myth: The common belief is that the fighting in Vietnam was not as intense as in World War II. Fact: The average infantryman in the South Pacific during World War II saw about 40 days of combat in four years. The average infantryman in Vietnam saw about 240 days of combat in one year thanks to the mobility of the helicopter. One out of every 10 Americans who served in Vietnam was a casualty. 58,148 were killed and 304,000 wounded out of 2.7 million who served. Although the percent that died is similar to other wars, amputations or crippling wounds were 300 percent higher than in World War II ...75,000 Vietnam veterans are severely disabled. MEDEVAC helicopters flew nearly 500,000 missions. Over 900,000 patients were airlifted (nearly half were American). The average time lapse between wounding to hospitalization was less than one hour. As a result, less than one percent of all Americans wounded, who survived the first 24 hours, died. The helicopter provided unprecedented mobility. Without the helicopter it would have taken three times as many troops to secure the 800 mile border with Cambodia and Laos (the politicians thought the Geneva Conventions of 1954 and the Geneva Accords or 1962 would secure the border).
Myth: Kim Phuc, the little nine year old Vietnamese girl running naked from the napalm strike near Trang Bang on 8 June 1972...shown a million times on American television...was burned by Americans bombing Trang Bang. Fact: No American had involvement in this incident near Trang Bang that burned Phan Thi Kim Phuc. The planes doing the bombing near the village were VNAF (Vietnam Air Force) and were being flown by Vietnamese pilots in support of South Vietnamese troops on the ground. The Vietnamese pilot who dropped the napalm in error is currently living in the United States. Even the AP photographer, Nick Ut, who took the picture, was Vietnamese. The incident in the photo took place on the second day of a three day battle between the North Vietnamese Army (NVA) who occupied the village of Trang Bang and the ARVN (Army of the Republic of Vietnam) who were trying to force the NVA out of the village.
Recent reports in the news media that an American commander ordered the air strike that burned Kim Phuc are incorrect. There were no Americans involved in any capacity. "We (Americans) had nothing to do with controlling VNAF," according to Lieutenant General (Ret) James F. Hollingsworth, the Commanding General of TRAC at that time. Also, it has been incorrectly reported that two of Kim Phuc's brothers were killed in this incident. They were Kim's cousins not her brothers.
Myth: The United States lost the war in Vietnam. Fact: The American military was not defeated in Vietnam. The American military did not lose a battle of any consequence. From a military standpoint, it was almost an unprecedented performance. General Westmoreland quoting Douglas Pike, a professor at the University of California, Berkley a major military defeat for the VC and NVA.

re: #189 JeremyR
THE UNITED STATES DID NOT LOSE THE WAR IN VIETNAM, THE SOUTH VIETNAMESE DID. Read on...
The fall of Saigon happened 30 April 1975, two years AFTER the American military left Vietnam. The last American troops departed in their entirety 29 March 1973.
How could we lose a war we had already stopped fighting? We fought to an agreed stalemate. The peace settlement was signed in Paris on 27 January 1973. It called for release of all U.S. prisoners, withdrawal of US. forces, limitation of both sides' forces inside South Vietnam and a commitment to peaceful reunification. The 140,000 evacuees in April 1975 during the fall of Saigon consisted almost entirely of civilians and Vietnamese military, NOT American military running for their lives. There were almost twice as many casualties in Southeast Asia (primarily Cambodia) the first two years after the fall of Saigon in 1975 then there were during the ten years the U.S. was involved in Vietnam. Thanks for the perceived loss and the countless assassinations and torture visited upon Vietnamese, Laotians, and Cambodians goes mainly to the American media and their undying support-by-misrepresentation of the anti-War movement in the United States.
As with much of the Vietnam War, the news media misreported and misinterpreted the 1968 Tet Offensive. It was reported as an overwhelming success for the Communist forces and a decided defeat for the U.S. forces. Nothing could be further from the truth. Despite initial victories by the Communists forces, the Tet Offensive resulted in a major defeat of those forces. General Vo Nguyen Giap, the designer of the Tet Offensive, is considered by some as ranking with Wellington, Grant, Lee and MacArthur as a great commander. Still, militarily, the Tet Offensive was a total defeat of the Communist forces on all fronts. It resulted in the death of some 45,000 NVA troops and the complete, if not total destruction of the Viet Cong elements in South Vietnam. The Organization of the Viet Cong Units in the South never recovered. The Tet Offensive succeeded on only one front and that was the News front and the political arena. This was another example in the Vietnam War of an inaccuracy becoming the perceived truth.

Nicaragua's Ortega says crisis is God punishing U.S.
MANAGUA (Reuters) - Nicaragua's leftist President Daniel Ortega, a U.S. foe since the Cold War, said God was punishing the United States with the financial crisis for trying to impose its economic principles on poor countries."It's incredible that in the most powerful country in the world, which spends billions of dollars on brutal wars ... people do not have enough money to stay in their homes," former Marxist guerrilla Ortega said in a speech late on Thursday.
"God is punishing the United States," for imposing flawed economic policies on developing countries around the world, said Ortega, who first governed Nicaragua in the 1980s when his Sandinista government was locked in a war with U.S.-backed Contra rebels

Malnutrition? Starvation? Stunted growth? Rampant crime? Mile-long unemployment lines? Well shit, at least we're living granola!
They're trying to create the conditions that would create a permanent Democratic majority. A depression might help. A wide-open illegal immigrant amnesty with citizenship granted might mean Democratic rule for a generation.

Now look, boys, I ain't much of a hand at makin' speeches, but I got a pretty fair idea that something doggone important is goin' on back there. And I got a fair idea the kinda personal emotions that some of you fellas may be thinkin'. Heck, I reckon you wouldn't even be human bein's if you didn't have some pretty strong personal feelin's about nuclear combat. I want you to remember one thing, the folks back home is a-countin' on you and by golly, we ain't about to let 'em down. I tell you something else, if this thing turns out to be half as important as I figure it just might be, I'd say that you're all in line for some important promotions and personal citations when this thing's over with. That goes for ever' last one of you regardless of your race, color or your creed. Now let's get this thing on the hump - we got some flyin' to do.

I figure that survival skills will be important. After Obamanation gets done not raising our taxes, just like worthlessWillie did, we will all be in dire straits.
That's because 0bama wants to give "the poor" money for nothing.

More scintillant economic thought from that Kos link:
"The upside of everything being more expensive is that it makes alternative energy sources more affordable and cost effective."shaking head
That thought has been circulated before, in the mid-90's. Tom Daschle, if I'm not mistaken, said we should tax gas up to $3.50 - $4.00 per gallon, to encourage alternative energy. And he had a big following too. The name is off the top of my head; I can look it up if necessary.
This is the same price, I might add, that had democracts drolling on and on about the failures of the Bush administration a decade later..

Actually, it is a mohel who performs circumcisions. (Pronounced "moyel")
I heard a joke a long time ago from a girl who was in a course I was teaching assistant for. (I don't believe she was Jewish)
A mohel retired, and wanted to have something to remember his work.
He went to a leather worker, and said
"I collected all the foreskins from all the circumcisions I performed. Can you make something good from them?"
The leather worker assured him that he'd make something nice.
When the mohel came back, the leather worker handed him a wallet.
"This is all you made with the foreskins?"
"Yes, but it is a very special wallet. If you stroke it, it turns into a briefcase."

This is Charles house; his rules.
Read the LGF Dictionary.

Ask questions if your not sure of proper etiquette.

It was an attempt by the Ace blog, to find out what McCains team needed to address for them to feel encouraged to join US. It was quite lovely even though strange, Ace seems to have a rough and tough room and many of the Pumas are possibly not quite used to the roughness of the comments (slightly sexual) but all -n- all i think common goals were found.

If that's what I think it is, my dad applied for that job after he got out of the air force. They told him in the interview that he couldn't be armed while on duty (he asked). He told them "no thanks", and as he tells it, he wasn't a bit surprised to hear later on that the occupants of some of those outposts were killed.
I don't know he was going for. The Air Force has their own.
We were always armed in field environments, although because we were operating in small teams, camouflage and site selection were more valuable.
At all strategic sites we had Military Police guarding the sites.

9. You own a $1,500 machine gun and a $5,000 rocket launcher, but you can't afford shoes.
8. You have more wives than teeth.
7. You think vests come in two styles: bullet-proof and suicide.
6. You can't think of anyone you HAVEN'T declared Jihad against.
5. You consider television dangerous, but routinely carry ammunition in your clothes.
4. You've never been asked, 'Does this burka make my ass look big?'
3. You're amazed to discover that mobile phones have uses other than setting off roadside bombs.
2. A common compliment is, 'I love what you've done with your cave.'
And, the NUMBER ONE SIGN you might be a member of the Taliban:
1. You wipe your ass with your bare hand, but consider bacon unclean!

What kind of education reform did Ayers & Obama have in mind? [Andy McCarthy]
You can draw plenty of rational inferences from Stanley's rich work. But for a clear statement of Ayers's frightening vision, I submit that his November 2006 speech at the World Education Forum should be required reading.As Cornerites know, I've been arguing that our emphasis on Ayers's prior terrorism, while highly relevant, is not the essential point. The real issue is Ayers's revolutionary leftism (at around the time Ayers and Obama began working on the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, by the way, Ayers described himself as "a radical, Leftist, small ‘c’ communist”).
Obama is clearly lying when he claims ignorance about Ayers's terrorism, but even if you wanted to pretend otherwise, it is impossible that he was in the dark about Ayers's revolutionary leftism: Ayers has never made a secret of it and can't seem to help himself from mentioning it about every 30 seconds. Obama not only knew about Ayers's views in this regard; he obviously subscribed to them: was a member of the Chicago New Party begun by the Democratic Socialists of America; he worked closely with Ayers on "education reform" for years, he approved of Ayers's similarly fringe-Left views of the criminal justice system's treatment of juvenile crime, and, we are learning; and he was tightly aligned with ACORN, which he and Ayers funded and whose practices fit comfortably with the Ayers view of "participatory democracy").
In any event, here are excerpts of Ayers's 2006 speech before Hugo Chavez and other assembled "comrades":
President Hugo Chavez, … invited guests, comrades. I’m honored and humbled to be here with you this morning. I bring greetings and support from your brothers and sisters throughout Northamerica [sic]! Welcome to the World Education Forum. Amamos la revolucion Bolivariana! ...
[M]y comrade and friend Luis Bonilla, a brilliant educator and inspiring fighter for justice … has taught me a great deal about the Bolivarian Revolution [i.e., Chavez's movement] and about the profound educational reforms underway here in Venezuela under the leadership of President Chavez. We share the belief that education is the motor-force of revolution, and I’ve come to appreciate Luis as a major asset in both the Venezuelan and the international struggle—I look forward to seeing how he and all of you continue to overcome the failings of capitalist education as you seek to create something truly new and deeply humane…. [For more information on the Venezuelan socialist Luis Bonilla-Montoya, see here.]
I began teaching when I was 20 yeas old in a small freedom school affiliated with the Civil Rights Movement in the United States. The year was 1965, and I’d been arrested in a demonstration. Jailed for ten days, I met several activists who were finding ways to link teaching and education with deep and fundamental social change. They were following Dewey and DuBois, King and Helen Keller who wrote: “We can’t have education without revolution. We have tried peace education for 1,900 years and it has failed. Let us try revolution and see what it will do now.”..
There's more...not good...at all...

yup, Obama will be hated within his first week of office, when the oceans do not begin to recede and communism does not immediately come into effect.
Actually, McCain pointed out in the first debate that in stubborness Obama wasa lot like Bush, and did we really want another 4 years of a man unwilling to change his mind about a bad policy? I thought it was a good point, but no one else seems to have picked up on it.

At least it's on a national site. I read that on a Puma blog - it included the favors, the connections, and the payoffs. Somewhat speculative, but the dots are there.
The Giannoulias family was involved with Obama as far back as his first state senate campaign in 1996. It has been long rumored here in Chicago that Obama obtained a sweetheart deal on his first town home here in Chicago - which he could not have afforded otherwise - and guess who the financing came from for that house? We've been told it was Broadway Bank, the Giannoulias bank. Now, this sets up a scenario where the Giannoulias family helps Obama with his campaign finances and gets him deeper in their pocket with his sweetheart mortgage deal (for the first home he owned that he could not afford) - all in exchange for quid pro quo to be determined later.

The Coming Obama Thugocracy
Attempts to shut down political speech have become routine for liberals.
...Obama fans jammed WGN’s phone lines and sent in hundreds of protest emails. The message was clear to anyone who would follow Rosenberg’s example. We will make trouble for you if you let anyone make the case against The One.Other Obama supporters have threatened critics with criminal prosecution. In September, St. Louis County Circuit Attorney Bob McCulloch and St. Louis City Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce warned citizens that they would bring criminal libel prosecutions against anyone who made statements against Obama that were “false.” I had been under the impression that the Alien and Sedition Acts had gone out of existence in 1801-02. Not so, apparently, in metropolitan St. Louis. Similarly, the Obama campaign called for a criminal investigation of the American Issues Project when it ran ads highlighting Obama's ties to Ayers.
These attempts to shut down political speech have become routine for liberals. Congressional Democrats sought to reimpose the “fairness doctrine” on broadcasters, which until it was repealed in the 1980s required equal time for different points of view. The motive was plain: to shut down the one conservative-leaning communications medium, talk radio. Liberal talk-show hosts have mostly failed to draw audiences, and many liberals can’t abide having citizens hear contrary views. ...
Once upon a time, liberals prided themselves, with considerable reason, as the staunchest defenders of free speech. Union organizers in the 1930s and 1940s made the case that they should have access to employees to speak freely to them, and union leaders like George Meany and Walter Reuther were ardent defenders of the First Amendment.
Today’s liberals seem to be taking their marching orders from other quarters. Specifically, from the college and university campuses where administrators, armed with speech codes, have for years been disciplining and subjecting to sensitivity training any students who dare to utter thoughts that liberals find offensive. The campuses that used to pride themselves as zones of free expression are now the least free part of our society.
Obama supporters who found the campuses congenial and Obama himself, who has chosen to live all his adult life in university communities, seem to find it entirely natural to suppress speech that they don't like and seem utterly oblivious to claims that this violates the letter and spirit of the First Amendment. In this campaign, we have seen the coming of the Obama thugocracy, suppressing free speech, and we may see its flourishing in the four or eight years ahead.

Old friends say drugs played bit part in Obama’s young life
Mr. Obama’s account of his younger self and drugs, though, significantly differs from the recollections of others who do not recall his drug use. That could suggest he was so private about his usage that few people were aware of it, that the memories of those who knew him decades ago are fuzzy or rosier out of a desire to protect him, or that he added some writerly touches in his memoir to make the challenges he overcame seem more dramatic.
Because, like most drug users, he hides it. I still want a hair sample.

re: #643 cliffster
Why is that? Why are liberals so loud-mouthed, and conservatives so content in their own beliefs?
My theory on politics in academia is that conservative academics have applied the same principles of their scholarship to their political beliefs, i.e., logic, which usually leads to conservatism. So, they're secure in those beliefs and feel little need to proselytize. Liberal academics, however, remember their nerdy, unpopular days in high school and simply jump on the prevailing liberal bandwagon in academia so they can be popular, too. This means advertisement. And the same liberals will not espouse unpopular causes (like the preservation of Israel) because that's like the nerdy friends they had in high school who helped keep them unpopular.

In fact, we have long-standing laws in-place FORBIDDING security clearance to ANYONE who has used or abused drugs...
And for a good reason!
Now, would all those carefully considered restrictions and prohibitions be swept away in order to let a drug-twisted Obama work as president? Would he then be able to acquire and use 'the BEST cocaine ever', all day long, to help him in his deliberations of whether or not he's PRESENT today?

re: #181 Killgore Trout
You go to the store and buy a sack of potatoes for a few bucks. You peel them, boil, drain and mash them. You add a little cream and seasoning, steam a vegetable and you have the start of an inexpensive, healthy, filling meal.
Corrected version:
You go to the store and find it is out of business. You go to another store, and another, and another, until you find one that is still open.You look for a sack of potatoes. There are no potatoes: the farmers couldn't afford to bring them to market at current prices, so they plowed them back under. You go to another store, and another, and another.
You find a store that is open and has some potatoes in stock. They're large and of fine quality. You fill a sack with ten pounds of them and take them to the checkout.
"How much," you ask.
"Ten pounds, ten dollars," the clerk says.
"Gee," you say, "I'd have thought they'd be cheaper nowadays."
"If you can find them at some other place for less, be my guest," sneers the clerk.
"No, no," you say, "I'll take these. Ten bucks?" And you reach for your wallet.
And then you remember that you haven't worked in six months, and you don't have ten bucks in your wallet -- hell, you don't have ten bucks to your name.
You leave the potatoes on the checkout counter and run out of the store, ashamed that you can't provide even plain starch for your family's dinner table. But you stop just outside the door of the store and think of something.
You go around the back of the store to the alley where the dumpsters are. There you find some potatoes, and other vegetables. Sure, they're shriveled, mushy, rotten -- but you take them anyway.
You get home and wash and pare away the most rotten parts, being careful not to throw out any bits that are still at all edible. You cut up the usable pieces and put them in a pot, add some water, and set them on the stove.
That's when you discover that your power and gas have been cut off. Seems they ran out of patience at the gas and electric company, what with you not having paid the bill in months.
You take some scrap wood in the backyard and make a fire to cook your vegetables. Cream? Butter? Luxuries distantly remembered from... from before all this. You're thankful to have a little salt.
Best not to mash the vegetables -- that would mean throwing out the cooking water. And you need that liquid to fill your family's bellies.
You resolve that, since you ate today, tomorrow would be better spent in trying to find work. Maybe, if you're lucky, you'll eat again in a couple of days.
And those dollar-a-pound potatoes: who buys those? The people who were fully liquid when the crash occurred, the people who run essential businesses, the lucky few who remain employed. They can afford the best, and settle for nothing less. No one can afford second-best or middling quality, and so no one produces it anymore.
Man, sounds like a socialist utopia to me!

Parts of it. ACORN is Obama's Achillies heel. They have a reputation, even amongst progressives, for being dirty. Even if Obama gets elected, he may be in trouble before innaguration day due to ACORN and related investigations.
Now THERE'S a scenario that could trigger Civil War: Obama is 'elected' on questionable votes, arraigned on reasonable suspicion, and BLAMMO! Ship hits the sand...

BREAKING: Word in Chicago: Patrick Fitzgerald heading RICO investigation of ACORN and BHO campaignPosted on Thursday, October 09, 2008 1:40:53 AM by Anti-Hillary
Tonight we talked to someone who works in the federal courts here in Chicago.
The buzz in those corridors is that federal prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald has been leading a team of FBI investigators in 10 states working on a RICO case.
Today, it was announced that ACORN is being investigated in 10 states.
That’s one heck of a coincidence.
We asked why Fitzgerald would be involved in this, because he’s the prosecutor on the Tony Rezko case and we aren’t aware of ACORN being investigated in Illinois.
We were told that ACORN was investigated in Illinois years ago, and it was a Fitzgerald case then. This means ACORN’s activities today, involving a conspiracy to commit multi-state voter fraud on SoetorObama’s behalf, are an extension of that previous ACORN case.
Our source in federal courts said, “Any crime that involves more than two people and is carried out across state lines qualifies as a corrupt organization. The fact that those “Goodwill” donations were made in Texas and received at Obama headquarters in Chicago or Washington means it qualifies for RICO.”
The “Goodwill donations” referred to above are the $228 million in undocumented, unverified campaign contributions the Obama camp has received — which the McCain campaigned filed a complaint to the FEC on this past Monday.
We’ve also heard that the Clinton campaign filed complaints to the FBI and other federal agencies over Obama’s fraud in the Iowa, Texas and other caucuses: voter intimidation, registration fraud, and other illegal activities.
The last thing we were told tonight in regards to all of this was that “the memo here is a tying together of all these various threads. That’s what you will see in the last weeks of the campaign: all things being tied together”.
If everything rumored here is true, it looks like David Axelrod, Howard Dean, Donna Brazile, Obama himself, and possibly even Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid were all involved, together, in massive RICO violations, and thus federal fraud, if the DNC and party leadership knew what the Obama campaign and ACORN were up to and allowed it to proceed. Knowledge of federal crimes being committed makes all parties accessories to those crimes — and part of the conspiracy to defraud the public.
So what do you guys think? True or not? You think Hill will come back in and sweep it all up?

A SILENCE ON TERROR
CANDIDATES WON'T NAME ENEMY
HERE'S a wake-up call for a nation at war: We've had all but one of the presidential debates, plus the veep debate - without once hearing the words "Islamic terrorism."Seven years after 9/11, we still seem to be debating whether it's polite to name our enemy directly. Worse, the emerging consensus seems to be "no."
That is not a good sign. How is the next leader of the free world going to solve a problem he can't even name?
Yes, the economy is by far the most urgent issue - but that doesn't make the war any less serious.
In their first debate, meant to center on foreign policy, John McCain and Barack Obama focused on the tactical fronts (Iraq, Afghanistan and the cold war with Iran) or specific enemies (al Qaeda, the Taliban, Hezbollah). But neither mentioned the underlying geo-strategic conflict between Western civilization and jihadism.
As dissident and exile Ayaan Hirsi Ali told me, "The presidential candidates are focused on military and intelligence positions, but I patiently wait for them to define the ideology they are going up against - because it's also a war of ideas. . . The collectivist Islamist system is not just wrong, but opposed to the American way of life."
This skittishness about naming our enemy directly is consistent with the 20-plus debates of the Democratic primaries, where discomfort with saying "Islamic terrorism" led to its absence from the dialogue.
Which raises the question: Who are we afraid of offending?
For clarity's sake, consider the term coined by former New York Sun reporter Eli Lake: "Islamic supremacists." It fairly describes the enemy's violent intolerance of difference and absolutist worldview - and shouldn't offend mainstream Muslims any more than "white supremacists" offends white people.
Since the opening hours of this war, US officials have strenuously emphasized that our enemy is not Islam, but Islamist terrorists. America's millions of Muslim citizens are vital allies in this effort - evidence of freedom's opportunities for equality and success.
And we've formed (sometimes uneasy) coalitions with Arab countries that face a similar existential threat from fundamentalists who want to restore the caliphate. The Anbar Awakening of Sunni tribal leaders in Iraq against al Qaeda was evidence of this approach's success.
But the next president has far more work to do before we can begin to declare victory.
Yet, as we've made some progress in finding common cause abroad, we've splintered at home. The Bush administration squandered the spirit of unity after 9/11 through the invasion of Iraq, making the wider War on Terror a source of partisan polarization in the 2004 campaign. And Democrats had an equal and opposite reaction - demagoguing the issue, demonizing the administration and dooming the prospect of bipartisan cooperation.
Now "9/11 Democrats" have been forced underground. Joe Lieberman's support for the war triggered an outright rebellion in his own party; he lost a primary as a result. He won re-election as an independent because party activists don't speak for most citizens. But now he's supporting McCain - and his fellow Democratic senators threaten to strip him of his committee chairmanship when Congress reconvenes.
Reuniting the country to win the wider war against Islamic terrorism is one of the great challenges facing the next president. And it's got to happen - because this challenge won't go away if we ignore it.
The seven years since 9/11 have seen no less than 14 attempted terrorist attacks in America. Our success in stopping them has lulled us into a false comfort, but we can't wait for an attack to succeed to remind us of the threat we face. Our domestic political differences are absurd in our enemies' eyes.

I have so missed Mark Steyn...
...Traditionally, when an unknown politician emerges on the national scene, it's a race to define him. Gov. Palin is a good example: within days, the coastal sophisticates were mocking her as a chillbilly ditz with a womb that spits out inbred kids faster than the First National Bank of Welfare Swamp issues subprime mortgages. That's politics as usual: Define your opponent.But Obama is defined by his indefinability. When I pointed out to my Vermont gals that he lives in a swank pad that was part of some shady real estate deal with a convicted fraudster (Tony Rezko), that he entrusted his daughters' entire religious education to a neo-segregationist anti-American nut who preaches that the government created the AIDS virus to kill black people (Jeremiah Wright), that he attended fundraisers with a political patron who's an unrepentant terrorist proud of plotting to blow up young ladies just like them at a dance at the Fort Dix military base (William Ayers), when I pointed all this out, they looked at me as if I'd brought a baseball bat to a croquet match. Mere earthbound politicians are defined by their real estate deals and sleazy buddies, but Obama is defined only by his vibe. As his many admirers in France would say, he has a certain je ne sais quoi. And, if you try to pin down quoprecisely, then they don't want to sais.
Besides, said one of the cuties, it's racist to try to link him to unsavory white men (Ayers). And black men (Wright). And Arabs (Rezko). And, just to be on the safe side, any dodgy Uzbeks or Papuans who might have been lurking around the greater Chicago area for the past quarter-century.
The ladies weren't exactly covering their eyes and going, "Neee-neee-na-na, can't hear you," but the other cutie did begin waving at me her Obama sticker – the one with the giant blue-frosted O embedded in a manicured candy-striped upland – like the villain in the movie trying to hypnotize you with his pocketwatch. I began frantically looking around in hopes that a passing Hare Krishna or Scientologist type could get me out of there. But, no: Gaze into the giant zero of the Obama logo, the hole in the star-spangled doughnut, the vast fathomless nullity that is the gaping keyhole to the door of utopia. To a sad shriveled Republican cynic, there's nothing there but the wide open spaces of Obama's blank resume. But believers will see therein the healing of the planet and the receding of the oceans. The black hole of Obama will suck you in through the awesome power of its totally cool suckiness. ...

Thank you all for the kind welcome. And thank you Charles for letting in us newbies.
I really wanted to say to my conservative colleagues in America:
STOP BEING SO PESSIMISTIC ABOUT THE ELECTION!
Sure, the polls have Obama in front. Sure, the financial crisis hasn't helped (although it can be turned into a positive for the Republicans). But it's not over until the fat lady sings and she hasn't even walked in the building yet. The old saying "a week is a long time in politics" is very true, and here there are three weeks to go.
Yes, the Ayers/ACORN issues are big concerns. In ordinary times, the Ayers issue in particular should be a game-changer. But these aren't ordinary times - there's a major financial crisis happening. People vote first and foremost with their wallet in mind, especially if tough times approach.
Republican party members and supporters need to push the McCain/Palin campaign to focus on what's important, i.e. "It's the economy, stupid". Two themes ought to be pushed:
(1) The current mess is the fault of Obama and the Democratic Party and their cronies - they pushed lenders to make all the sub-prime home loans while blocking Republican attempts to ensure greater oversight of these practices.
(2) McCain/Palin/the Republicans are the ones better equipped to protect the economy (and people's livelihoods), not Obama/Biden/the Democrats.
These two points need to be hammered home every day until November 4.

I was even an interviewee during the background investigation for one of them. I was honest with the investigator and told her what I knew. My friend was also honest on the application and during his interview, and he did receive the clearance. I don't recall what clearance level he acquired, but it was higher than SECRET. I think they look for character and honesty, trying to detect potential for blackmail or bribery.

IS Goddess here?
One for her:
A college teacher reminds her class of tomorrow's final exam. 'Now class , I won't tolerate any excuses for you not being here tomorrow. I might consider a nuclear attack or a serious personal injury, illness, or a death in your immediate family, but that's it, no other excuses whatsoever!' A smart-ass guy in the back of the room raised his hand and asked, 'What would you say if tomorrow I said I was suffering from complete and utter sexual exhaustion?' The entire class is reduced to laughter and snickering. When silence is restored, the teacher smiles knowingly at the student, shakes her head and sweetly says, 'Well, I guess you'd have to write the exam with your other hand.'

If Obama wins, the MSM will soon grow tired of attacking Republicans because they won't be able to sell ads with old boring storylines like that. But they will find lots of fertile ground digging into Obama's legal shenanigans and associations with disgusting characters, and will have to turn their sights on him for no other reason than to stay afloat. Then we can all watch him demonize the media and try to censor their investigations, drawing on his Alinskyite upbringing.
In the next, we may just find the MSM as an ally.

A Trib analysis of campaign finance reports showed Obama paid CSI [the purported "subsidiary"] for services that stood out as unusual. For example, CSI received payments of $63,000 and $75,000 for advance work. Excluding the large payments to CSI, the average amount the Obama campaign spent with other organizations was $558.82 per check on more than 1,200 entries classified as advance work.Citizens Services Inc. is headquartered at the same address as ACORN's national headquarters in New Orleans.

ACORN’s Nutty Regime for Cities
If you thought the New Left was dead in America, think again. Walk through just about any of the nation’s inner cities, and you’re likely to find an office of ACORN, bustling with young people working 12-hour days to “organize the poor” and bring about “social change.” The largest radical group in the country, ACORN has 120,000 dues-paying members, chapters in 700 poor neighborhoods in 50 cities, and 30 years’ experience. It boasts two radio stations, a housing corporation, a law office, and affiliate relationships with a host of trade-union locals. Not only big, it is effective, with some remarkable successes in getting municipalities and state legislatures to enact its radical policy goals into law.Community organizing among the urban poor has been an honorable American tradition since Jane Addams’s famous Hull House dramatically uplifted the late-nineteenth-century Chicago slums, but ACORN and Addams are on different planets philosophically. Hull House and its many successors emphasized self-empowerment: the poor, they thought, could take control of their lives and communities through education, hard work, and personal responsibility. Not ACORN. It promotes a 1960s-bred agenda of anti-capitalism, central planning, victimology, and government handouts to the poor. As a result, not only does it harm the poor it claims to serve; it is also a serious threat to the urban future.
It is no surprise that ACORN preaches a New Left–inspired gospel, since it grew out of one of the New Left’s silliest and most destructive groups, the National Welfare Rights Organization. In the mid-sixties, founder George Wiley forged an army of tens of thousands of single minority mothers, whom he sent out to disrupt welfare offices through sit-ins and demonstrations demanding an end to the “oppressive” eligibility restrictions that kept down the welfare rolls. His aim: to flood the welfare system with so many clients that it would burst, creating a crisis that, he believed, would force a radical restructuring of America’s unjust capitalist economy.
The flooding succeeded beyond Wiley’s wildest dreams. From 1965 to 1974, the number of single-parent households on welfare soared from 4.3 million to 10.8 million, despite mostly flush economic times. By the early 1970s, one person was on the welfare rolls in New York City for every two working in the city’s private economy. Yet far from sparking a restructuring of American capitalism, this explosion of the welfare rolls only helped to create a culture of family disintegration and dependency in inner-city neighborhoods, with rampant illegitimacy, crime, school failure, drug abuse, non-work, and poverty among a fast-growing underclass.Even Wiley came to see that cramming millions more single mothers and their kids onto the welfare rolls would not produce the desired socialist utopia. Seeking new worlds to conquer, he sent one of his young lieutenants, Wade Rathke, to Little Rock, Arkansas, to launch a new community-organizing group: ACORN. The new group was to build a broad constituency of low-income and working-class people to agitate for social change. ...

That's why some states have gone to having it on a card, and do the transaction electronically. No change is given that they can use for cigs or booze.
And, WIC checks must only be used for what is listed on the check (usually baby formula, eggs, cereal, and milk).

Communities Voting Together contributed $60,000 to Citizens Services Inc., for example, in November 2005, according to a posting on CampaignMoney.com. Project Vote has hired ACORN and CSI as its highest paid contractors, paying ACORN $4,649,037 in 2006 and CSI $779,016 in 2006, according to Terry of the Consumers Rights League.
Don't let anyone tell you ACORN and CSI are "totally different." They're married.

The students either agree or clam up if they disagree with the prof. And if anyone really questions a lib prof's expressions of his views, the tenured prof starts screaming something about tenure guarantees his freedom of speech. It has to be really bad, and obviously against the idea of learning, like the attack-Palin essay in CO, to be stopped. Most profs are more insidious. So long as they don't appear to let their disagreements with students affect the grades, they're home free. Sad.

Up here in Michigan, we have deposits on pop cans & bottles. "Poor" people will buy pop with food stamps, dump the stuff most ricky tic and return the empties for more meth or crack money.

re: #411 Hapster
some food for thought fellow lizards ... What would you do if B. Hussein obama wins? I have my answer ready but I wanna see some good thoughts. lets go ..
A successful democracy relies on at least 2 things a) a majority faction to govern with a modicum of wisdom and b) a minority faction to consent to be governed by the former.
This concept has been getting frayed around the edges somewhat of late.

re: #820 realwest
Hi O.R. - I won't discuss .40 caliber since you've decided on the .45 - is this a strictly at home gun or one you might get a carry permit for?
I ask because the Kimber looks as if it would have less chance to "hang up" on hammer or rear site. It is also mucho expensive - don't know price on the Sig Sauer, but do note that the Sig Sauer has amidextrious safety, which could come in really handy if - like me - you shoot left handed.
As mentioned, no carry permit on the horizon here in DC.
Sig is about $200 cheaper. I can afford either one.
Another DC limitation; 10 round magazine max. So to me that argues for the stopping power end of that bargain, since I'm legally limited on firepower.
And I just LIKE the 1911. I love shooting the durn thing.

Well, a pack of cigarettes is about $5 and that seems to be the going rate to buy a vote based on what ACORN volunteers are offering folks to register again and again.
Gee, can the recipients of the cigs sue ACORN and Obama for giving them lung cancer?

Yep, I agree, R-Dubs. Can't go wrong with a SG, but I'd recommend to anyone to give it a good test run before making the decision. You still have to be somewhat on the mark for a SG to be effective.

re: #839 Palandine
Oh, I used to get that a lot. Little children coming in with a $1 stamp (this was before they went to debit cards) to buy a $.25 pack of gum. Parent standing outside, waiting for the change. I'd have the kids go get their parents. They could pull their scam, but they'd have to look me in the eye, not send their children.
I'm a huge fan of WIC--healthy, nutritious food, absolutely free. Some people do need food stamps for a while. But the creation of a dependent underclass is a national tragedy.
I'm glad you made the cowards come and do their own dirty work. But I can't agree with you about WIC. Once upon a time, if folks needed food, they'd go to the local church. Or to a food bank. Private charities have only so much money, they cherish every dollar, and they make sure it goes to good. You won't find people getting booze through local charities' loopholes.

At the gun show today, where I picked up my new lil friend, the guy who collected the money up front had a bumper sticker on the cash box: "I'm a bitter clinger, and I VOTE"
It'd get my car keyed for sure, but it made me grin.

Sorry, Dad, I'm Voting for Obama
Amazing how some people will rationalize away rational thoughts:
But having a first-class temperament and a first-class intellect, President Obama will (I pray, secularly) surely understand that traditional left-politics aren’t going to get us out of this pit we’ve dug for ourselves. If he raises taxes and throws up tariff walls and opens the coffers of the DNC to bribe-money from the special interest groups against whom he has (somewhat disingenuously) railed during the campaign trail, then he will almost certainly reap a whirlwind that will make Katrina look like a balmy summer zephyr.
Sometimes the apple does fall far away from the tree.

Almost-boutique 1911s huh? Cool. I'd get the Kimber because it's kin to the USMC MEUSOC. I'm pretty sure they've been in the 1911 business longer than SIG, too, though I've heard they can be hit-or-miss.

That spinoff has it's own comments section- works just like a thread here. Just link the articles in that thread and then they'd all be in one spot. Or- you can just put all the ACORN links in this thread in your favorites and tag them as ACORN.

Hey Realwest, I sure didn't mean to not answer you last night, but I left without seeing that question. As for speed or power, I'd say neither. The kid is more of a juke artist that makes the linebacker miss and then runs for his life daylight. Next year as a 10th grader he'll be faster and stronger. The 148 yards was on about 15 carries. One was for 60 and a TD. The rest were grind it out carries.
Worst part was I forgot the cowbell. Could have used it.

When John Murtagh was 9 years old, Bill Ayers' friends tried to kill him."I remember my mother's pulling me from the tangle of sheets and running to the kitchen where my father stood. Through the large windows overlooking the yard, all we could see was the bright glow of flames below. We didn't leave our burning house for fear of who might be waiting outside," wrote Mr. Murtagh in the April 2008 issue of the City Journal.
It wasn't personal. John's dad was a judge presiding over a trial of the Black Panthers. The next morning, after the bombs exploded, John still remembers the red graffiti on the sidewalk: "FREE THE PANTHER 21; THE VIET CONG HAVE WON; KILL THE PIGS."
To the best of John's recollection, Bernardine Dohrn, who is now Bill Ayers' wife, first claimed credit for bombing John's home - along with other targets - in November 1970.
Today John Murtagh is a lawyer and Yonkers' city councilman who is running for the New York state Senate on the Republican ticket this November. I reached him this week through his state Senate campaign. It wasn't hard. Has Barack Obama ever tried?
Barack Obama was only 8 years old when Mr. Murtagh's house was bombed. Mr. Obama has nothing to do wi
