Crazy Mocha!

All are welcome ... excellent!

Insanity reaches new hights! Even their meeting places are tainted.

Charles,
I was just going to ask if you were sure it wasn't a parody.
And you didn't say first.

Wanna see my "Crazy Mocha"?

How can anyone with a lick of sense take these people seriously?

Sic some Steeler fans on 'em.

Crazy Mocha - is that like Central Perk on the TV show "Friends"?

#1 Charles:

Crazy Mocha!

You should have added "First!" to the end there.

Ah the Crazy Mocha.

That esteemed gathering place of mental incompetents, fools, ignoramuses, junkies, and the unwashed masses of goofy kids who were picked on in high school and now project their anger against the US and their mommies and daddies (who pay their rent anyway)!

#1 Charles:

I realize that you're new here but it's customary to write "FIRST!" When one is (or thinks one is) the first poster on any thread. Just for future reference.

There's one huge difference the Vietnam tactics won't work--BLOGS. The American people have more outlets to get news than they did in the sixties and seventies. As an ex-liberal/socialist, I'm astounded as how these so-called peace activists claim to support the troops when they in fact want them to lose.

I just did a little calculation.

If the US had killed 100,000 Iraqis that would average to 166/ day in the months from the invasion to the Lancet article. That is like a major airline crash every day. Does anyone doubt that every news organization would have bathed every camera they had in blood every day had that happened? Just sayin'.

Click on the "Calendar" to see that there's also a "Genocide in Sudan" lecture at the Church of the Redeemer in Squirrel Hill, a historically (currently?) Jewish section of town. So there's hope for Pittsburgh.

are what can stop the U.S. slaughter in Iraq today

Huh? You'd think if our goal were to slaughter Iraqis, we'd be done by now.

Now Saddam who was ethnically cleansing portions of Iraq and filling mass graves with hundreds of thousands of innocents... Kerry voters never found the desire or energy to want that stopped. And the Muslim "freedom fighters" who have been slaughtering Iraqis for many months? Our liberals couldn't care less.

I know, I know, it makes it look like the largest motivator to these people is that the USA is the greatest evil and threat in the world, even in the face of documented monsters. Just don't question their patriotism, ok? And don't forget to send your contribution to the DNC.

Can I question their patriotism NOW?

Crazy Mocha!

At least their hangout name matches there mental state.

Crazy Mocha's Website uses a goat for a mascot. I'm not kidd-ing. Nyuck nyuck nyuck.

If you click "next week" on the calendar, you get to see a graphically sophisticated advertisement by the Green Party at Westminster College for the

I think a kindergartner could make a better poster also.

What a bunch of seriously mentally incapacitated people.

Strange doings at the Crazy Mocha.

It would be a fun place to visit if the moonbats weren't having a meeting and stinking up the place.

I suspect they cannot even comprehend a win-win situation --for the US/Allies AND the Iraqis.

That would mean everything they believed in was wrong.

Pathetic.

Some web foraging on Merton:

Born in France as World War I was getting under way, he died 54 years later at a conference center in Thailand, just one border removed from the Indochina War. His body was flown back home in a U.S. Air Force plane bringing back soldiers killed in Vietnam-just the right company for Merton.

Merton as monk had the right address not to notice that the world was in crisis. His thoughts on entering the Abbey of Gethsemani (just three days after the attack on Pearl Harbor) suggest he had no intention of keeping up with events beyond the monastic enclosure.

Dammit, _Seven Storey Mountain_ was a good read.

Looks like a very contented goat.

It is a cheerful-looking goat.

The goat must be drinking de-caf.

Mass protests, GI refusals and a powerful “insurgent” movement - the same things that led to the end of the war in Vietnam are what can stop the U.S. slaughter in Iraq today

Hey, Screw Democracy... Yeah... forget we have Voluntary Army...

That Crazy Mocha Crowd... just like my crazy moonbat Coffee house crowd...

can stop the U.S. slaughter in Iraq today

As I always say when debatign a wacky lefty..."Can you give me a specific example of that?"

A regional radio talkshow host: Jim Quinn ([Link: warroom.com...] often refers to the Thomas Merton Center as a socialist organization. Garfield was formerly predominately black, but the business area now experiencing a bohemian renaissance.

Elcid!

I found your friend last Monday. Nice guy. If you didn't get this message on an earlier thread, I will tell you about it. Let me know...

Why does no one in the anti-war group ever suggest protesting the other side before the US goes to war?

Why are none of them out in front of North Korean Embassies around the world protesting the goverments horrible human rights abuses, state sponsored Drug smuggling, nuclear weapons development, and for threatening their southern neighbor, and oh yes, starting the Korean War...

Why are none of them out front of Iran's Embassy, Zimbabwe's Embassy, China's Embassy, etc...

Good or not, the US goes to war with a reason. How about protesting the country providing the reason...

The raod home from Iraq leads through Iran and North Korea!

"Send more Human Shields!"

Seven Story Mountain is good, what I have read of it. I read a book of correspondence between him and the Polish poet Milosz (who just dies a coupel of years ago). I was interesting to see their views on war start to diverge, being that Milosz had a first-hand view of living under Communist rule.

Look, it says it's two hours... does this count toward my degree at CU in Liberalismistic Dogmanism Bi-Sexuality Shamanism?

You know... I've never understood that state. I hear so many odd things from there. I mean, how can you live in someplace as famous as PA and NOT have reverence for the creation and support of the US? are they still bitter that the capital was moved to DC?

#31

And don't for get:

16 upper middle class white kids whose parents supplied them with everything.

Mass protests, GI refusals and a powerful “insurgent” movement - the same things that led to the end of the war in Vietnam are what can stop the U.S. slaughter in Iraq today.

"the U.S. slaughter in Iraq" I believe the only real people being slaughered are Iraqi killing insurrgents.

Hmm, these are the lessons they are foccusing to try and "stop" the us. I wonder which of these three, if not all, these idiots will try to push.

So Far mass protests have fizzled and doughtful that they will be effective as they were in Vietnam.The goverment learns lessons also.

GI refusals, this again is a minority because unlike vietnam most GI's know and believe in what they are doing there in Iraq. Though MTV liberal reality TV are making headway in countering Army recruiting efforts and numbers are dropping.

Now we have the "insurgency" which is a fancy media word thugs, murderers, and foriegn interlopers. If they plan on backing them then they are in for one big let down. Their cause is done. Put a fork in it.

I wish I could find this funnier than I do. What's most annoying/disquieting is the affected horror at "the U.S. slaughter in Iraq" on the part of people who are usually the first to say that you can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs, and that suicide bombing of restaurants and markets is the action of brave freedom fighters. It's the reduction of human beings as means to political ends that frightens me...

You see, we're still carpet-bombing BOTH Afghanistan and Iraq, absolutely smashing both countries to smithereens, over and over and over and over and over. It hasn't stopped yet. We're also lining Iraqis up in front of trenches we forced them to dig, then machine-gunning them. Don't forget the gassings of whole villages, and the long lines of trucks going into the extermination camps.

Oh, the elections in those countries? Big farces. American troops either paid people to vote or held their children at gunpoint to force them to go to the polls.

You know, I bet that smug look on the goat's face would change if the Moonbats invited a Jordanian UN Peacekeeper to be their guest speaker one night.

Yes, stop the "slaughter" in Iraq by supporting the insurgents.

This goes beyond treason. That anyone other than a Baathist or jihadi would in any way support the murderous thugs currently wreaking havoc in Iraq is on par morally with supporting Final Solution. Its one thing to oppose the war as a matter of politics its another to support this enemy.

FredFry @ 41

Why? Are you getting all existentialist on us? Let me know if you find out "why." I still am stuck on the "how?"

What do you think the chances are that CAIR is involved in this, but at a distance?

#44 lancekates, this link helps to understand Pa. Most of us would like to sell Pittsburgh and Philly to New Jersey and New York. (Ohio doesn't want Pittsburgh) Then learn how the local taxes flow; where all the money goes.

Thank GOD that the U.S. miltary has learned some lessons since Vietnam!

the U.S. slaughter in Iraq

Actually, statistically, the vast number of innocent Iraqis killed in this war have been killed by the "insurgents".

If you google "homicide bombings Iraq" you'll come up with about 100000 hits, representing literally 100s of bombings which have resulted in the deaths of 1000s of civilians.

They have bombed markets. They have bombed mosques. They have bombed government buildings. THey have bombed police stations. They have bombed hotels. THey have bombed restaraunts.

The bombers?

Iraqis.

Lets get our facts straight, 'tards. THere's a slaughter going on in Iraq alright. Just ask the terrorists.

Too bad me and Babbazee can't attend, we could pass out panties... and packets of KoolAid...

#46 Egfrow

IF

murderous thugs who kill women and children = insurgents

THEN:
People who want to stop the 'us slaughter' = inane idiots.

now... as it turns out, the murderous thugs who kill women and children ARE the insurgents... THEREFORE the people who want to stop the 'slaughter' ARE idiots.

But... silly Saddam isn't in power, so let those idiots sit and spin.

lancekates

Pennsylvania is Pittsburgh to the west and Philadelphia to the east -- and a whole lot of deer hunting in between. Unfortunately, the unions have eaten and digested the two big cities, solving some problems, creating many others. The effects are still felt.

I am dismayed to see Thomas Merton's name here, even in a very tenuous way. He would have seen the necessity of stopping radical islam and its head chopping, IMHO.

#49 mich-again
Sshhh...they heard you.

After the Vietnam War, Arafat went to the North Vietnamese to ask them how they could possibly have defeated a nation as powerful as the United States.

They told him that the secret is to get half the U.S. to work on the nation's defeat from inside. You get half the people inside to question the powerful nation's actions, and they defeat the powerful country FOR you.

Arafat worked this strategy to his advantage for the rest of his life.

The extreme left in the U.S. are our mortal enemies.

They seek to weaken us to the point of destruction.

They are trying to self-hate us out of existence.

Ohio doesn't want Pitt because the steelers keep beating the browns. of course, I think the steelers cheerleaders could beat the browns... but still.

Anyone see the Congressional Medal of Honor winner's wife Birgit Smith calmly talking about how her husband wanted to be in Iraq with his "boys" just doing their (military) jobs? She was so committed to his will and proud of his sacrifice to save his troops. (On Fox this morning with E.D. Hill.)

And unlike the exhibitionist LLL freak fringe, Smith's widow said her military husband would not have wanted us to make a big fuss about his heroism. What a great mensch.

Well, why we are all laughing the Indymedia crowd has been rather successful in running military recruiters off of campuses and out of job fairs all over the country. I'm not trying to be contrary here, but they ARE ratcheting this up. Of course it is coordinated by some group or groups. I know we all think most of these fools are idiots, but at the same time I am beginning to worry a bit that the "resistance" movement could get quite nasty. And given the way these moonbats are always planning "direct actions", I wonder how long before it gets ugly? I'd like to see some people defend the recruiters. I'm getting tired of seeing them forced to leave public places and public job fairs. What can we do, if anything?

LOL

I'm off to play ball.

OK, had to search around the Pitt Aidemydni site to see how far my beloved down has gone - and I realized that they are a powerful force to be reckoned with.

Oh No ! The 'burgh has pink tanks also !

It's been a long time since I read "The Seven-Storey Mountain." I definitely need to pick it up again. I do recall that Merton carried on a correspondence with Flannery O'Connor. I doubt either one of them would have had any use for Islamobots or the unwashed intellectual frauds who defend them.

Hey, you didn't mention the extensive gulag system that John Ashcroft built in Montana. Thousands of liberals are being arrested and shipped up there every day.

Also, Rumsfeld is forcing a whole bunch of kidnapped French scientists to develop a fleet of sharks with frickin' lasers on them.

Don't even get me started on what Dick Cheney is up to. I'll give you a hint: it starts with an H, and ends with -burton.

Been wondering why the Bush family is so friendly with Bill Clinton lately? Well, that's not really Bill Clinton, that's really an actor that has been surgically altered to look and sound like Bill. The real Bill Clinton was placed into cryogenic deep freeze, and is being stored in a secret laboratory built by Diebold that is located 2000 feet below Crawford, Texas.

Behind it all, pulling the strings, is Karl Rove, the Republicans' dark lord and master.

Nope, still not understanding you. Try another language maybe?

Leftist filth.

I asked a question on my blog a while back

There's a saying that goes, "Don't bite the hand that feeds you." There's also a quote attributed to Voltaire that says, "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

I sometimes wonder what would happen if those two ideas came into conflict with each other. Can the radical fringe of the Left bite off a chunk so big that their defense is no longer guaranteed? Should I be willing to defend you after you spit on me, berate me, make false accusations against me, and treat me with disdain?

I'm a former Marine, and I'm finding it difficult to say that I would be willing to defend these cretins. Is there a point where we can just say screw 'em? What are your thoughts on this?

Legal shocker of the day:

Court says there's no constitutional right to a lap dance

(via Taranto)

Mass protests, GI refusals and a powerful “insurgent” movement - the same things that led to the end of the war in Vietnam are what can stop the U.S. slaughter in Iraq today.

The so-called "peace" movement is not what ended the Vietnam War. What really ended the war in Vietnam was Watergate. It ain't the hippies who invented that, it was the professionals in the Democratic Party. The difference between then and now is us. The citizen blogger, representing the free access to information, is the primary the reason why the Democrats cannot get us to lose this war in my humble opinion. This time, we are the hippies. George Bush is the hippie; Ted Kennedy is the establishment.

1st Amendment? Who invoked that? In my first comment on this thread, I said Charles could do as he pleased, as it is his blog. Hell, he could even ban me, and it wouldn't violate the first amendment. He's not Congress (thank God).

And cherry-picking? Go down to the thread about the hospital in KY's Muslim accomodation features, and see Roger using the word that starts in moo and ends in slime. Then, go try to find me sliming Charles for what his commenters say. Others do it; I don't.

They need to have the protest on Carson Street on a Saturday night while wearing Flyers jerseys, so a bunch of angry drunks can kick their ass.

#148:

Equally OT, but on a similar note, a court in Israel recently ordered an insurance company to pay for some guy having sex with prostitues.

He'd been in an accident and had his shrink's work that he needed sex from prossies in addition to the $$$ the insurance had to pay out under the policy in any case.

Unbelievable.

Their mascot is a goat. Maybe they are closet Mussies. You know how those Arab men love their goats.

Dave the... San Francisco is hopeless. I work here, er, there. I have actually gone onto Indymedia here and tried to argue a point with various people. They instantly trash your comment. Stalinists to the core. No one really pays any attention to them, anyway. If you really want a laugh, you should go to one of the "organizing meetings" they do before a "mass mobilization". You see the same 12 people at all of them. They all look anemic (vegans). They are utterly without humor. They always make me think of those poor, tired souls who sat through millions of such meetings back in the 50s, waiting for communism to come to the working class.

Okay, Dave takes a breather. The protest is in Chicago (a similiar address is in downtown Minneapolis).

So it's up to Chicago patriots to take action.

What did Former SSG do again, not neo? I saw him insisting that I take his word as good enough evidence of his claims. Shit, if that worked, I could just claim that I'm right about everything and you should all just believe me because I said so, and that'd be that. Alas, higher standards of evidence and argument are needed.

I wish Charles didn't censor the comments, or edit them or whatever term you prefer. It's revealing when that word with the cows and the goo comes out, or when [bigoted word]s appears.

I think its a wonderful idea to transform racial epithets to equivalences, if that's the thrust of the discussion. Anyone who uses racial epithets does not deserve better than that, and the honored participants in this blog do not deserve to be exposed to such demeaning language which, it goes without saying, cheapens the points they labor to make. Many of us research for quite some time some of the things we post here, and we don't want to be measured with the same stick that just plumbed the cesspool. If you want racial epithets just access some of the rap and hiphop lyrics that the Left uses to keep their plantation pumping out Democratic votes.

She's a she.

Check my post on the 'muttering moonbat' thread. Basically, I said that you should believe her, because I have been to SERE school and she knows what she's talking about. Then I said that, by your standards, you shouldn't believe me, since I am an unverifiable poster on LGF. I then mentioned that you have to take some things on faith. I then said that I believed that you were a barking moonbat.

Heh.

the same things that led to victory for North Vietnam and subsequent deaths and suffering of millions in reeducation camps. What’s different today is no unchecked agenda driven MSM that can convince America to abandon it’s allies and cut and run in the face of victory, as after the Tet Offensive.

How can the U.S. be stopped?

...lessons from the VietNam War?

We lost about three hundred soldiers (that means dead) per week in that damn war, two of which were close to me. Any lessons we may have learned from that war should include making sure that people like this (PA) group get largely ignored; their efforts caused the casualty numbers more than they curtailed them.
Today, this is just noise from the next two generations of the same shit-heels who spit on our troops, then.

Charles are you here? I checked my local IMC site, and they have some interesting plans to protest Catipiller on April 13th.

I was watching American Chopper on Monday night, and they're building a bike for Caterpillar over these next two shows.

As the episode begins, Sr., Jr. and the crew go to the Cat plant to visit, see how the vehicles are built, etc. As I was watching, I was expecting a bunch of lefties to burst into the place and start protesting about Rachel Corrie again.

It would have been funny to see Sr. kick a few hippies in the ass with his size 12s.

Canada --- thunder bay

T'under Bay has an IMC feed? That town is such a shithole that when Terry Fox got there, he just gave up and died, fer Pete's sake! Thunder Bay killed the Marathon of Hope!

It is obvious that the left wing nut jobs are drawing the wrong conclusions from the Vietnam War. While it was American Seniment that brought the troops home, there is greater resistance to it this time because the monopoly on the news has been broken.

Now these same people must compete with the rest of us to get their message out and it isn't playing very well to the rest of us. The other lesson is that those that went to Vietnam and saw the reality of that war vice the reporting and antiwar sentiment are more than willing to stand up and say those that were against the war were full of crap.

These days you get invited to live somewhere else if you think we need to stick our heads in the sand. That all by itself tends to make people STFU.

The 'sensless slaughter' is mostly a load of crap too. With so many spouting the bull, it is no wonder they are squealing 'kick it up a notch!'

I have a single wish. That would be for each and every one of these people to stick their head under the boot of the nearest tyrant for awhile. Make sure it's good and painful too. Once the tyrant has had enough fun he can return what's left and see what the opinion is then.

I'd like to see some people defend the recruiters. I'm getting tired of seeing them forced to leave public places and public job fairs.

The Universities are bastions of LLL’s, and have banned ROTC and military recruiters for quite some time. What’s just as bad is the Defense Department set up funds for a lot of Universities to open up Middle Eastern studies departments in order to have a pool of qualified applicants for intelligence jobs. But the Universities also won’t let the CIA or other Department of Defense intelligence agencies recruit.

Guys, I'm a PA resident, and I'm confident that the only reason Kerry won the state in the last election was massive voting fraud in Philadelphia. Bush won the state outside of Pitt and Philly with roughly 70% of the vote.

Please don't judge us all based on kooks like this. It's already sad enough that our state is bleeding citizens like a sieve.

What pathetic people. Lost souls. So self hating that they actually wish death and hope for an Islamist victory in Iraq. How can the US be stopped in Iraq? That's a ridiculous premise at this point. Now the question they need to ask themselves is "How can we stop an emerging democracy?" Actually the answers to both questions are strikingly similar anyway
