update: put another way:
The woman is right. If America elects a self-confessed war criminal, a communist sympathizer, a proven liar about matters of war and peace, a man who even the people he served with in war won’t support, a liberal with absolutely no record of accomplishment– even for liberal causes, an appeaser, a man who sees terror as a nuisance and the UN as a body that solves problems, a Saddam apologist, an advocate for higher taxes, an advocate for a healthcare system that has already been rejected under Clinton and would never pass the Republican House, a flipflopper who didn’t make up his mind about Iraq until a week before the debates, a Senator who voted against funding troops in battle because he had issues with some clauses in the bill, an ideologue who– as I just demonstrated– has never compromised for the benefit of his country, a dove who never met a weapons system he didn’t want to cut, a fake Catholic who says faith without deeds are meaningless but refuses to even consider appointing a judge who will modify our abortion laws, a morose and pompous accidental nominee who people vote for only because of who he is not (Dean and Bush), a supposed coalition builder who time and again insults the allies we do have (Poland and Alawi) and praises those who actively campaign against the United States (France and Germany), a man completely incapable of inspiring a person to get out of his chair let alone serve his country in a time of war, if America elects this jerk, this farce of the real JFK, because he won one debate by lying through his teeth and because the president was beat from helping hurricane victims, we’ll deserve what we get.
But our children sure won’t.
…Looking at the polls today, I’d say we’re already about half-way toward embracing whiny European defeatism.
Question: anybody know of any militia that accepts Jews?

update: the always witty and erudite Charles Austin offers his thoughts on what’s at stake in November.
Whoa, that’s one angry woman. Someone needs a metal-studded tongue up her ass!
stagolee obvioulsy doesn’t remember the days when Rachel was even a bigger ranter than, say, Michele after reading Ted Rall on a PMS day.
jfh – we’re gonna need a bigger tongue stud…
I love Rachel. Platonically, and from afar, but I dearly love the woman.
I was literally JUST wondering what happened to Rachel (haven’t been to her site in weeks, as it has been exceedingly lame by pre-retired Rachel standards). Glad to see she’s still in there, even if she doesn’t always post it.
I am so glad I don’t live in Ohio. Here in NYC, people just ask for money. And even then, they know better than to ask people on the streets in a hurry. It is really tempting to go off on somebody about how I would rather not live in a city that’s a smoking nuclear crater, but… you know… blood pressure and stuff.
Anyway, how bout them Yankees?

I have an idea. How about if GWB announces that, if elected, he will appoint John F*ing Kerry as our ambassador to the U.N. That’ll make EVERYONE happy, cuz ‘Pubbies don’t care what the UN thinks, Dems think the UN actually has power, so they’ll be happy, and France will have their own man back in their pocket.
We are not in a militia, but we do have enough guns that we’d be happy to share with you, Jeff!
Hell Jeff, you already belong to at least one militia. Two, if you count the pajamahadeen.
“Question: anybody know of any militias that accepts Jews?”
Mine does. So far it’s just me and a pissed-off housecat. We could use a 50% increase in membership.
It depends. Are you a bagel Jew, or a Uzi Jew?
Damn that was a good rant, Jim
I don’t know if there are any militias that accept Jews (other than Russ, who posted above, and his pissed-off housecat) but if there aren’t any, we can always start one. Necessity is, after all, the mother of invention. (I’m not Jewish, so I hope the proposed militia will accept Catholics too.) How about it, Russ? Jeff? Pissed-off housecat?
Are you a bagel Jew, or a Uzi Jew?
I’m only a bagel Jew after I put a hole through an English muffin from 100 yards without a scope.
From Joanofarrgghh!,
“..and France will have their own man back in their pocket.”
I really wonder if the French didn’t grab the bastard when he was gabbing with the N Vietnamese, and turn him.
In re polls, I have hopes we will get a surprise. The Aussie MSM’s polls showed a dead-even heat or slight Latham edge: Howard not only won – by a lot – but picked up a number of seats for his party.
I wanna join that militia, too. Two of my grandparents were Polish, and I’m Catholic. Maybe we can call it the non-Aryan Brotherhood. We can modify the “Brotherhood” part of the name if any chicks join; we’ll let ‘em join if they’re hot.
How about ‘The Non-Aryan Fellowship’?
Right. You’re in. Someone get this man a rifle and an English muffin. Make it two English muffins, I’m peckish.
Parker –
If that’ll get us some hot chicks, it works for me.
How about ‘The Non-Aryan Fellowship’?
But doesn’t that exclude blue-eyed, blond-haired persons-of-high-cheekbones?
How about ‘The Not-Necessarily-Aryan Fellowship’?
“Aryans And Friends”
the Judean People’s Front, or maybe the People’s Judean Front—I think you’re their man. just don’t get lost in the sewers, and always look on the bright side of life. and dang, Jim and Rachel were on fire.
Be of good cheer, Jeff, a Kerry Presidency just isn’t going to happen.
BUT even if it did it would make no difference in historic terms to the fate of Islamic Radicals and several mid-eastern states. It would just cost us a few thousand to a few million more dead here at home before their obliteration.
And with the Kerry enhancement of the death tax we’d ‘grow’ our way out of deficit overnight. What’s not to like about that?
Plus New York, DC, Atlanta, Chicago and Southern California real estate would become much more affordable.
Commuting time would be lessened since there would be millions with no place to commute to. This would also be a blessing to cash-flow since gas would be $15.00 a gallon when available.
What’s not to like about that?
Actually, most of you probably are already militia members without realizing it:

I’m not that hot any more, at 42. But I once out-shot the then-editor of a sidearm-oriented gun magazine. (Granted, he was shooting offhand and I was using the Weaver stance. But I was still pretty happy with myself.)
Longarms: I do okay with our mini-30. A 12-gauge is a bit much for me, so I’ll be practicing with my Franchi 20.
But, yeah–I do like handguns best of all. Maybe I’ll do daycare for the kids while the rest of you are on the range. Or teach me to handload, and I’ll take care of that.
I can also teach jujitsu to the kids, if you like.
Hey Jeff, you should check out Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership, http://www.jpfo.org. It is run by a rabbi from Milwaukee, some great stories and info there. I myself prefer the Glock 23 in .40S&W for a handgun, and the good ole AK-47 for a SHTF rifle.
sure, the glock is kosher, but the AK-47?!? is the rabbi down with that?
I don’t know what jpfo.org thinks about the AK, but I think it is tops for a SHTF piece. Decent round out to 150 yards or so, tolerable recoil, ammo cheap as hell and widely available, very tolerant of mud and snow, easy to work with gloves at -20, what’s not to like? Accuracy is OK. The Russkies build primo guns. 75 million of them have been built worldwide since 1947. Of course the SKS, using the same 7.62×39 round, is a gas to fire also, I have a couple of them too.
