LOL!

And then PEACE will reign over the earth, and the fields will be filled with chocolate waves of grass, and trees that grow candy canes, and cotton candy flowers, all under a purple sky with faeries flying around! WOOOT!

Yes, when you submit and resign yourself to your fate as a victim and cease fighting, that is peace-that is what they mean by peace, that is why they call Islam a religion of peace.

Time to get in touch with your inner victim, says the Messiah.

I think we should create a Department of "Getting These Motherfuckers Out Of Our Country".

LOLOLOLOL!

I haven't seen this one yet:

She relayed a story, apparently an Internet story going around about a bum on the street holding a sign that says "Vote For Obama, I Need The Money." A businessman walks by the bum and enters a restaurant where he meets a waiter wearing a tie that says "Vote for Obama." The businessman is served his lunch with perfect service. The businessman is demanding, taking up an extra ordinary amount of the waiter's time. In the end the waiter did a fantastic job. He worked hard to keep his customer happy. But to no avail. The businessman left no tip. Confused and angered he asked the businessman why no tip was left. The patron stated that the gentleman outside sitting on his ass asking for money would get his tip, just as his tie requested.

And with that, the waiter understood exactly how it felt to work hard and sacrifice, only to have others who sit on their ass and do nothing enjoy the fruits of his labor, risk and sacrifice.

A man traveling across a field encountered a tiger. He fled, the tiger after him. Coming to a precipice, he caught hold of the root of a wild vine and swung himself down over the edge. The tiger sniffed at him from above. Trembling, the man looked down to where, far below, another tiger was waiting to eat him. Only the vine sustained him. Two mice, one white and one black, little by little started to gnaw away the vine. The man saw a luscious strawberry near him. Grasping the vine with one hand, he plucked the strawberry with the other. How sweet it tasted!

No people in history have ever survived who thought they could protect their freedom by making themselves inoffensive to their enemies. Dean Acheson

I seem to smell the stench of appeasement in the air. Margaret Thatcher

An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last. Winston Churchill

No man can tame a tiger into a kitten by stroking it. There can be no appeasement with ruthlessness. There can be no reasoning with an incendiary bomb. Franklin D Roosevelt

Appeasers believe that if you keep on throwing steaks to a tiger, the tiger will become a vegetarian. Heywood Broun

The one sure way to conciliate a tiger is to allow oneself to be devoured. Konrad Adenauer

You may gain temporary appeasement by a policy of concession to violence, but you do not gain lasting peace that way. Anthony Eden

Of course the Atlanta city council is like 100 percent black and 98 percent Democrat. And Atlanta has been doing a lousy job of protecting it citizens culminating in a botched drug raid killing an innocent 92 year old grand mother who's only mistake was to install suveillance camera to keep the crooks out, The Narcs decided she was a dealer and pulled a no knock drug raid she defended her-self and died for it. The narcs performed a lousy cover-up and three of them are in jail serving some serious time. Atlanta, where the police kill the innocent and ignore real crime and corruption.

McCain, for the very reason the republican base isn't thrilled with him, can draw just enough of those disaffected folks to win.

Americans don't elect liberals who run as liberals. Obama's going to lose.

If Obama is so much for surrender and peace, then why is he suggesting he wants to draft my daughters? Somehow draft and peace do not conjure up the same picture in my mind. Draft to my mind equaled WWII and Vietnam. Peace was when we nuked Japan, and pushed for the Surge in Iraq. When will the pansies ever understand you only have peace when someone is stronger, has the most guns, biggest army, best missile defense, etc.? Do they ever read a history book? Oh, I forgot, they read Marx instead. And man that was a real peaceful ideology was it not? Right!

Cross hairs don't seem peaceful to me.

And now for the one hundred millionth rendition of "Give Peace a Chance"

re: #55 neocon hippie

I'd say there's a decent chance, say 20% or so, that Obama will so compromise the security of this nation that our military will have no choice but to munity and/or take him out in a coup.

You give our military no credit. Our soldiers have served Clinton and Carter. They will not refuse to serve Obama, although many will resign or ETS rather then be jester to the clown.
Military have faith in the ultimate good of the voters, and will trust that 2010 will abate Obama by electing a conservative congress that is veto proof.
I some how expect war will come, but it will be the lef who strikes first.

Whois shows that The Peace Alliance is a part of Global Renaissance Alliance.

I think that keeping oil prices down by expanding supplies, increasing efficiency, ect, ect. would go a long way to formenting revolution in Iran as well as stopping their nuclear program.

However, there's a potential problem - the mad mullahs may feel the need to do something drastic (in a hands-off way, of course) to spike those prices back up.

re: #137 godfrey

The US Military has been keeping the peace in Iraq and helping them rebuild their country to the point where even Democrats acknowledge its success.

I'd like the Kroc Institute, or any institute of "Peace Studies," to match that.

re: #134 Palandine

The Messiah doesn't bring anyone to the table who wouldn't already vote Dem, and he's pissed off a huge number of Dem voters--gun owners, people who work with their hands (Joe the plumber), people of faith, women (due to his shabby treatment of Hillary and now Governor Palin). McCain, for the very reason the republican base isn't thrilled with him, can draw just enough of those disaffected folks to win.

Americans don't elect liberals who run as liberals. Obama's going to lose.

Besides, a draft would work ONLY if men and women were BOTH draftable (you can thank the NOW crowd for that, BTW!) with absolutely NO educational or other deferments, other than a proven mental or physical limitation that would prevent one from going to battle. EVERYONE, regardless of financial status, would be eligible from 18 - 45 years of age. Are YOU prepared for that kind of draft? I didn't think so.

re: #116 StudSupreme

Though I have the highest respect for the US Military and have a bunch of friends who have served, I must disagree with the Pentagon on this one.
It is DANGEROUS to have a purely professional military. Ask the Athenians and the Romans.
We need a very large contingent of citizen soldiers. They will always have the guts to call 'bullshit' or 'chickenshit' on anything the military does that is stupid, counterproductive, or in any way dumb. The folks who join voluntarily will always be less inclined to do so, since they will feel duty bound to put up with it.

Wow. I am so positive that any 18 year old would know better than a General and could call "bullshit".
What a STUPID thing to say.

Great ad.

It makes me sick the way Michelle O used the grandmother on the campaign today in Ohio. She spoke oh so sweetly and said Barack told her that he gets his strength from his grandmother and "We call her Toots." Not to her face, apparently. Since Michelle and the girls didn't go to see her when on vacation in Hawaii a few months ago, and, now that she's dying, well, that doesn't warrant a visit from the grandkids to their beloved Toots either. Yesterday, radio news said B Hussein spent one hour with her. He spent more time on the airplane getting over there. Before she became gravely ill, anybody know of a time when she praised her grandson during this campaign? Why not?

I think it's an excellent idea. We can draft platoons of moonbats and send them into war zones to promote peace.

If they're sucessful, great...if not, well that's not so bad either!

I applied for a "permit to purchase firearms" today.

re: #140 6pat6

We HAVE citizen soldiers - they are Guardsmen and Reservists! I do NOT want a bunch of draftees calling "bullshit" and "chickenshit" when push comes to shove! They are in the military, drafted or not, to BE in the military and follow the lawful orders of those above them! Drafted or not, every service member IS already duty-bound to serve, period! Why do you think a "questioning" force is a good thing, somehow? Were YOU ever in? What good comes from a military where the junior members get to pick and choose the fight? You sound like an Obamaton, pal.

Stop frothing, honey.
It's a healthy thing to have questions in the Army. The Armed Forces of the USA have trained draftees in the past to obey orders and win wars, and they can do it again.
But honestly - doesn't it worry you that one day, a professional military might become disconnected in thought and feeling from the civilian population, and begin to decide for itself what is important and right? It's happened before.
Also, think about this:
Lots of Libs like to call for intervention in Darfur.

In actuality, I think the electoral race is very close.

Like it or not, the “Bradley Effect” will be much higher than expected.

[Zombie explains the Bradley Effect]:

“Despite being a well-known phrase, the Bradley Effect is quite often misreported by the media and misunderstood by the public to mean that whites who are racist will refuse to vote for any black candidate yet will lie to pollsters about their intentions for fear of having their racist attitudes exposed. As a result, polls sometimes over-report support for black candidates in elections when they are running against white candidates. But this is a gross misapprehension of what the term means. First of all, the phrase "Bradley Effect" originally only referred to a bare-bones description of what actually happens in such races: White voters tell pollsters they intend to vote for the black candidate, but on election day they either vote for the white candidate or don't vote at all…”

Screaming libs all

What does ... mean? (Just askin')

re: #229 6pat6

OK, asshole. You really are an ignorant, condecending prick. But, that's why we in the military fight for, is for ungrateful, ignorant fucks like you to spout off stupid shit like you do. Have a day.

Are you crying now?
Honestly, what's wrong with you? You sound shrill and hysterical.

re: #203 Charles

Here we go again.

Ironically, the fraudulent episode in Pa. may serve as an innoculation to prevent against unecessary emotionalism over a potential contrivance of a story. On the other hand, it may be legit. But this story may well be swallowed up by the shadow of the great state of Texas where stories like this do not get the play they might in the East or West. One thing we hope for is that it obviously is that it not unfairly tilt the election, tragic as it might be. That said, to the extent that there is a tragedy, our hearts go out nonetheless.

re: #211 JeremyR

I guess this is wrong blog to get into a discussion of AR versus Springfield actions. There about the same price.

re: #230 Killgore Trout

The Koans don't have much appeal to me. I'm more of a Shikantaza kinda guy.

/you get the difference between a cow and a cow with no nostrils though, right?

re: #199 de La Valette

Where do you live?

In the shadow of Diamond Head.

I'm partial to a "Department of Whup-Ass."

re: #231 JSK1121

I sympathize with you, JSK. I traverse thehallowed halls of academia from time to time and have heard of The One such as: "He just wants to be a hero" and "He doesn't care about money" from some people that I considered very intellegent. It's like when the O craze settles upon a person, all rational thought concerning Obama immediately shuts down.

It's maddening yes, but the fight cannot be given up!

re: #192 freedomplow
Thanks for this!
Makes 'me all choked up! I miss this PATRIOT.

re: #186 Iron Fist
