1) A filmmaker, his face covered, his name and address released by our press after being singled out as (falsely) by the President, the State Department, and the DOJ as the spark that led to the recent 911 wildings by adherents to the Religion of Peace who quite naturally reacted to the hateful hateyness of infidel blasphemers by raping and killing and burning shit down, is now in hiding along with his family. Here. In America.
2) The Pakistan doctor who tipped the US off to Bin Laden’s whereabouts, essentially forcing Obama’s hand in authorizing the mission that killed Osama, is in a prison in Pakistan, having been tortured and charged with treason. He’s noted that Pakistan’s ISI considers the US its greatest enemy; and yet we continue to send it billions because we like to pretend it is an ally of a type. No public efforts have been made to secure his release from our well-funded ally, Pakistan.
3) Though our embassies burn, and the Muslim Brotherhood — a terrorist organization whose STATED GOAL is to bring down the west, from without and from within — is now in control of Egypt, we have recommitted to financing their military build up, in a move I can only describe as akin to offering up Jeffrey Dahmer a pair of your fingers as a snack in a prelude to his cutting you up, making you into grill meats and soup stock, and storing you in his chest freezer.
4) The irate Navy SEAL from Team 6 is being threatened with prosecution for writing a book revealing what he claims were the actual events surrounding Bin Laden’s death, so sick was he of this Administration’s repugnant desire to “spike the football” in general — and the grandiose tales of Obama’s bravery and heroism in making the call that have become the focus of the narrative. Meanwhile, the Administration did give the director of Point Break (Keanu Reeves, Patrick Swayze) unprecedented access to information and operations techniques of our elite forces so that they could have a movie out about Obama’s Cuban Missile Crisis moment of deep reflection and human drama in time for his re-election campaign.
5) As Israel struggles with the very real possibility of going to war with Iran to prevent their obtaining nuclear weapons — which, through Iran’s terror funding network would almost certainly make their way to terrorist — our own President was busy holding Muslim celebrations at the DNC convention, removing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel from the platform, removing God from that same platform, and has since refused to meet with Netanyahu. He did, however, find time for Pimp with a Limp and Letterman, as well as trips to Vegas and Colorado.
6) As the bodies of our slain diplomats were being unloaded from the transport planes in a staged maudlin public spectacle, Obama’s Twitter account was pimping sweatshirts; and the Obama election team was preparing a National Yard Sale Day for Obama.
7) While all of this was happening — the State Department has declared further questions about anything concerning the Benghazi rape and murder and ransacking off limits — the press colluded to make the story about the Republican nominee’s for President presumptuousness in reacting to a Tweet sent out from one of our embassies essentially turning the idea of free speech on its head; that Tweet (and some follow-up comments) in a backdoor way, and following this Administration’s own dictate that we respect Islamic sharia blasphemy laws (a position they took in a UN vote that, again, our media, who lives under the protection of the First Amendment, didn’t seem at all concerned about) represents a progressive re-imagining of first amendment protections, which must now first be socially approved and deemed unhateful lest the very government it was protect us from is able to use it to put us in danger or even prosecute us.
8) Republican establishment leaders, while mouthing a few outraged platitudes, has as of yet done nothing. Don’t want to make waves, maybe have the media call you Islamaphobes, cause you to lose the moderates. There is no principle worth fighting for if fighting for it denies you the ultimate prize of power.
9) On the domestic front, we all can see and feel and know what’s happening: horrible unemployment, a dramatically weakened dollar, artificial controls over inflation, a collapse in housing, and receding “growth”. But the media spins, the Democrats lie, and the whole game — including QE3, Labor Dept directives not to issue pink slips, and a worthless stock market spike — is rigged to keep the false narrative alive just a few months more, until Obama is re-elected and then, in a post-constitutional ethos and as a lame duck, he can get to work with all that “flexibility” he wanted “Vlad” assured he’d have.
10) Our entire culture is hopelessly PC, unless what is being put on ostentatious display is considered transgressive, in which case it becomes a civil right to promote it, and a sign of intolerance and hatred to refuse having it thrust upon you in every aspect of your life. NBC’s new awful, awful sit-com, “The New Normal,” will soon be required viewing. And just to get the point across, we’ll be forced, while watching it, to eat a plate of peas.
11) Changing Presidents won’t change the trajectory of tyranny. Only we can. We can do that by removing the current GOP leadership and then insisting a President Romney excise, slash, burn, laser out, or uproot vast cancerous portions of our government and administrative state; or we can do it after the collapse, when we regroup into separate nations, the first committed to constitutional first principles and natural rights, as laid out by the founders and framers, with an eye toward protecting and securing the individual liberty that is a birthright, while the second is a state where politicians pander and redistribute wealth they haven’t created or earned, get rich and powerful doing so, and leave the masses behind to argue among themselves for the leftovers.
12) I realize this list is not any where near exhaustive. But I’m stressed. So Ima go watch Valley Girl or Fast Times. I need a good laugh. Hug your loved ones. Because you never know when they may say something wrong, and then get carted off for their own protection by the benevolent face of some government functionary only there to help protect you from you.
Valley Girl
Is is wrong that I really like that movie?
The movie is also the cause of months and months of green on blue attacks in the Afghan war we just surrendered.
Watch “Heathers” and laugh at all the 80s fashion and Christian Slater’s bad Jack Nicholson impression. Plus, black humor. It’s what’s for dinner.
Romney is looking like a mensch. He’s sticking up for his *gasp* accurate remarks about the perpetually agrieved.
That’s a pretty comprehensive list. I won’t quibble.
Oddly enough, I’m not stressed at all, and I’ve been just as gloomy and pessimistic as any Mark Steyn or Glenn Beck or Jeff Goldstein.
Why? Prolly in part because I don’t have a family to take care of.
That, plus the food supply I’ve been laying up since at least 2000. It’s not huge, but it will be enough for a few months, provided someone doesn’t come take it first. Which I can’t guarantee, on account of I don’t have a gun or a dog. (My neighbors have both.)
Not one of the recent events has surprised me in the least, nor do I feel that I need to Do Something to stop us going over the cliff.
Nothing will stop it. This juggernaut has enough momentum behind it that the Zombie Founders themselves couldn’t stop it. Ima sit tight and ride it out, wait until it all falls apart enough that my company closes down and I got nothing to do but read all them books (de Toqueville, Hayeck, etc.) that I’ve got stocked up against the econopalypse.
(BTW, when my company goes under, that will signal the veritable end of the economy. We’re currently on a huge upward trajectory: just got a massive contract with the USAF for our network forensics software, and we’ve got other DoD and federal contracts [not to mention plenty of big private firms] to live from for now. When they can’t buy our stuff anymore, and we can’t get new customers because they’re all gone under, then that will mean there’s nothing left but food & shelter. That, or the EMP came and all computer equipment is fried.)
On your way out, make sure you laugh at Glenn Beck one last time, or give him a bit of grudging credit, after making it clear that you have some problems with him.
Meanwhile, back in bizarro world, AKA MBM, Romney’s bad three weeks. I guess the last three weeks for the Won don’t count.
The whole megillah, taken in toto and combined with the rapid escalation in the South China Sea which the idiot media has no clue about, certainly has a sort of August 1914 feel to it.
The fact that our current self-appointed “elite” is every bit as corrupt and incompetent as the Edwardian nincompoops who ginned up disasters like the Somme offensive is just another data point in confirmation. This won’t end any better for them, either, but we’re all going to wind up paying the price.
I’m pleased to say that my friend that I try to tip over into Conservative or at least Classical Liberal territory has now shifted to “Shut up, I just don’t want to hear any of it. It’s too depressing.”
Man, if my company was in charge of digging holes to stick your head in, I’d be making a fortune right now.
I had another in a recurring series of dreams about people trying to kill me. I’ve been having these dreams for thirty years or more, so no biggie.
The change-up this time was that I had a 9mm pistol and ammunition and managed to shoot most of them and get away on a motorcycle. It was pretty cool and also unlikely. Not the shooting part, but the escaping on a motorcycle since it was a big hog and I know for a fact that if I dropped it, I’d be on foot since I’d never be able to lift it.
It was empowering, though.
Also, this. Ace is correct that we need to get out of Afghanistan now. Actually, I would have pulled them out starting the day after the election in 2008; Obama would like nothing more, deep in his treasonous Third-World Marxist heart, than to see the best of the American military cut off and decimated in the literal meaning of the word. Kill two birds with one stone – deliver a huge and humiliating blow to American power abroad and eliminate a highly competent and capable domestic political threat. If he manages to get the Brits, Aussies, and a few unlucky Poles wiped out in the bargain, why that’s what the Cajun folks call lagniappe.
see if you can edit the dream motorcycle and make it a dirt bike. Lighter, faster for short bursts, more mobile and you get a wolverine patch.
Good idea, BT. I can handle a 125 like nobodies business. I’ll have to work on the active dreaming mode.
Hello, it’s a dream. Go for the rocket skates.
That’s actually really cool, Leigh. Who says our side of the political spectrum doesn’t empower people?
Idiots do. Sorry, I know that question was supposed to be rhetorical, but with America burning I’m not in the mood.
I had another in a recurring series of dreams about people trying to kill me.
I dreamed that I dreamed that a little piglet told me to go find him, so I wandered around for days without having the slightest idea of where to find it.
And I never did.
you know that Du-par’s where they hang out in Valley Girl is just down the street and they really for reals do have the best pancakes I ever had my whole life almost
I only go there when people come from out of town is how good they are
Romney needs to use these stupid attacks against him as the opportunity they are to define Obama.
and we also need to tell the Egyptians to pound sand.
Happy Birthday. It was fun while it lasted.
…..since I’d never be able to lift it.
– You don’t have to ‘lift it’ Leigh. You juts tip it a bit and ‘power up’.
JHoward, Insty just linked to a Zero Hedge article talking about China’s use of ghost steel as assets.
I’m no economist, but using nothing as an asset and calling it something tends to screw up the books, don’t it?

– Not at all. We’ve had a Fed thats been doing it for 4 years straight. WTF could go wrong?
A hundred years straight come December 23rd, ’13, BBH. FTFY.
Anniversary! Merry Effing Christmas!
Kinda makes you afeared to audit the Fed, Darth.
.
Then I hope you’ve laid up enough to share.
It’s time to trade in a Squid™ brand pitchfork on a new Cranky Cudgel I think.
No Paulite I, but the Fed has been doing it for the last 60 years, give or take. They just decided to stop trying to pretend that they were under any sort of constraints in the last four years.
If you’re going to go bankrupt, might as well buy a couple of Jaguars on credit first, eh Solyndra?
Been watching the MLS listings every day for the past couple months.
All the sudden this morning a bunch of new foreclosures hit the market. the property I’d been eyeballing is now foreclosed on too.
It’s getting to the point where I’m going to pick out the acreage I want, and then wait for it to foreclose and swoop in. You can bet on it now. Everything for sale is basically on the verge of foreclosure.
This is a good time to get what you want, if you’ve got some cash.
Like the new Avatar, BBH.
I’ve known of a couple of different instances where the banks have sat on the foreclosed property for multiple years before finally writing off the loss on the original mortgage.
Maybe reality is finally hitting the banks too.
– Tanks Willum, kind of thought it was more in the Outlaw image.
– feets, if you’re ever down in the Florida Keys you might want to try dining at this establishment. They say the food and dinner show are to die for.
yup. This area never had the runup in prices from the housing boom either — up until the past year we had been pretty fireproof from the foreclosures, I couldn’t find a single bank-owned property in this zip code.
Now? All hell is breaking loose.
– Darleen….are you following the latest PC dustup in Cranston R.I. school system?

– Heres LeDonna’s show on radio.

*rim shot*
I’ve known of a couple of different instances where the banks have sat on the foreclosed property for multiple years before finally writing off the loss on the original mortgage.
They were hoping for a recovery of some sort. Now that its obvious that’s not going to happen, they realize they gotta take the haircut and get what they can.
Towns are getting very aggressive about tax collection, and code violation fines with bank owned properties. Declining/flat property values and taxes have obsoleted the notion of “investment property” that you sit on for 10 or 20 years. If you’re not living in it or renting it out, its a liability, not an asset.
Cranston is learning to do as it’s told.
“….and because we’re just so damned civic minded and all inclusive we can’t help giving money to underprivaleged minority sidekicks of black presidents.”
BigBangHunter,
I think you stumbled onto Obama’s next fundraising idea: Send the Obama campaign $50, and they promise to not send you pictures of Michelle in the nude.
Romney is doomed.
the school and city agreed to pay the ACLU $150,000 in legal fees
This is the key thing about the Cranston decision. This is how the ACLU funds itself — extortion.
The ‘original’ Valley Girl, wasn’t.
Oh, check out Super 8 if you haven’t. Not a comedy, just a decent, innocent sort of movie with, to me, a haunting ’70’s feel. Good times, mostly.

Right. And the alternative was to appeal and spend more money they don’t have while boosting that figure.

Yup. Thank goodness many of the antiquities are in GB being restored or plain old strorage, after the earthquake nearly destroyed the Cairo Museum a couple of years ago.
OT kinda: I was fixing dinner and listening to the news about how outraged! the Ds are at Romney. Then how outraged! the Arabs are at the US. It struck me that we’re never going to make any headway with either group since they are always outraged! at us about something.
So, fuck ’em.
how outraged! the Ds are at Romney. Then how outraged! the Arabs are at the US.

Muslim Cleric Rips Up Bible at US Embassy Protest – Says Next Time His Grandson Will Pi$$ On It (Video)
Not much hope for Little Rhody. State is in thrall to the public unions, ACLU is the active PC police and we have a maroon for a Governor. Good thing I sold my house this summer. Might have to change my handle to “Free Bird Red”.
Just heard Sec. of State Hillary Clinton say on the radio “There is nothing more important to us than insuring the safety of our representatives abroad.”
That doesn’t seem to go well with the fact that she sent an Ambassador into a war zone to be killed by a small handful of Islamist murderers. But maybe she has a different view of the meaning of “nothing more important” after the fact of “nothing so terribly important as to have required a better decision”. I mean, sure, Now it’s of the highest importance to her, if only we’ll be kind enough to forget that it wasn’t thus two weeks ago.
Ah, if only Obama would radically transform Mrs. Secretary Clinton to wormfood, we’d all have something to applaud.
OT: Iowahawk paraody’s Julia’s Circle of Life.
“The White House moon walk, part 86”
– Maybe he can have Carney hold the bible while his grandson takes a whiz. That way Carney can get some up close and personal idea of what the fuck he’s talking about:
– Well the attacks weren’t premeditated, but that was before they were premeditated, and they were definately caused by the movie, but that was before they were caused by violent groups…..These guys must go to weasle word college.
– Are you saying it wasn’t the movie?
“This is a matter that’s under investigation in terms of what precipitated the attacks, what the motivations of the attackers were, what role the video played in that,” Carney continued. “I am not, unlike some others, going to prejudge the outcome of an investigation and categorically assert one way or the other what the motivations are or what happened exactly until that investigation is complete.”
(By “some others” would you be possibly referring to your consulate official Rice who spent the entire weejkend making the rounds of talking head political shows adimently insisting it was the movie?)
– So is the WH ruling out premeditation?
“Based on the information we initially had available, and have available, we do not have any indication at this point of premeditation, or preplanned attacks—but it is under investigation.”
– So once again the Obama-lama White house has no fucking clue whats going on, much less what to do about it, but who cares as long as the press makes Jug ears look good and he can keep campaigning right along.
Proof that Hillary is an incompetent idiot who hates our troops and diplomats and ought to be fired.
– I thouht Julia’s life in Utopia was so controlled, contrived, and boringly underachieved she commits suicide.
– I’ll tell you Leigh. I would guess thats not Hillery’s. That sort of stupid has bummblefucks fingerprints all over it, or more likely his White House staff since he wasn’t doing intel meets at the time.
Probably. It’s handy for him to have her to blame, though, isn’t it?
What a crapweasel that man is. I really, really hate him and everything he stands for.
Well there’s certainly nothing wrong with your spleen, it’s venting perfectly!

Heh. I was scrolling through the channel guide tonight trying to find something to watch and saw a movie on AMC about a president who has an epiphany, fires his crooked staff and works for JUSTICE!
It was made in 1933. Some things never change.
Unlikely, but it’s interesting to see this kind of argumentation, usually reserved for “the historical Jesus” and Christianity applied to “the historical Muhammad” and Islam.

“A Time for Choosing” by Ronald Reagan
We cannot buy our security, our freedom from the threat of the bomb by committing an immorality so great as saying to a billion human beings now enslaved behind the Iron Curtain, “Give up your dreams of freedom because to save our own skins, we’re willing to make a deal with your slave masters.” Alexander Hamilton said, “A nation which can prefer disgrace to danger is prepared for a master, and deserves one.” Now let’s set the record straight. There’s no argument over the choice between peace and war, but there’s only one guaranteed way you can have peace—and you can have it in the next second—surrender.
Admittedly, there’s a risk in any course we follow other than this, but every lesson of history tells us that the greater risk lies in appeasement, and this is the specter our well-meaning liberal friends refuse to face—that their policy of accommodation is appeasement, and it gives no choice between peace and war, only between fight or surrender. If we continue to accommodate, continue to back and retreat, eventually we have to face the final demand—the ultimatum. And what then—when Nikita Khrushchev has told his people he knows what our answer will be? He has told them that we’re retreating under the pressure of the Cold War, and someday when the time comes to deliver the final ultimatum, our surrender will be voluntary, because by that time we will have been weakened from within spiritually, morally, and economically. He believes this because from our side he’s heard voices pleading for “peace at any price” or “better Red than dead,” or as one commentator put it, he’d rather “live on his knees than die on his feet.” And therein lies the road to war, because those voices don’t speak for the rest of us.
You and I know and do not believe that life is so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery. If nothing in life is worth dying for, when did this begin—just in the face of this enemy? Or should Moses have told the children of Israel to live in slavery under the pharaohs? Should Christ have refused the cross? Should the patriots at Concord Bridge have thrown down their guns and refused to fire the shot heard ’round the world? The martyrs of history were not fools, and our honored dead who gave their lives to stop the advance of the Nazis didn’t die in vain. Where, then, is the road to peace? Well it’s a simple answer after all.
You and I have the courage to say to our enemies, “There is a price we will not pay.” “There is a point beyond which they must not advance.” And this—this is the meaning in the phrase of Barry Goldwater’s “peace through strength.” Winston Churchill said, “The destiny of man is not measured by material computations. When great forces are on the move in the world, we learn we’re spirits—not animals.” And he said, “There’s something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty.”
You and I have a rendezvous with destiny.
We’ll preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we’ll sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness.
A video program, 1 hour 11 min. [scroll down] and a researched, footnoted book.
Just because it’s footnoted doesn’t mean it’s correct. Frauds (and I’m not implying that Spencer is one, because I don’t believe that) are punctilious about their footnotes
What I’m saying is that the fact that the earliest sources are late (but not unreasonably so) and external (which is to be expected when your dealing with the transition from an oral culture to literate one) isn’t sufficient to prove that Muhammed didn’t exist or didn’t found a religious movement.
Also I’m perfectly comfortable with the idea that Islam began as a hodge-podge of Christian Jewish and pagan beliefs and practices.
But then I consider Muhammed to be the original anti-christ.
Revisiting an earlier theme: I don’t want to destroy the Pyramids, which are, after all, a great wonder of the world. But just imagine how much more awesomer they’d look if they glowed in the dark!
If we were to destroy the pyramids, all we would be doing is finishing the job the Muslims began back in the ninth century.
I’m not sure I want to be on their team, Ernst.
