On leadership

Daddybear links to a story on a Marine accused of hazing a slacker who he found asleep on watch- in the 'Stan.
He tells one of those stories that anyone should recognize if they had a good upbringing somewhere along the line.

Here's my story.

I was a booter, just out of CE A-school and the battalion was getting ready to leave Camp Covington in Guam.
The Butler huts we were living in were going to get rehabbed for the next battalion as our Advanced party left and we consolidated quarters.

SO---there being empty barracks and brand new melamine walls (Drywall doesn't last very long @ 100% humidity) and some free spray paint...and cheep beer some of us went to town on the hallway walls.
We didn't think anything of it 'till morning quarters were over and the guilty were called into Chief Hogans office.
He didn't use one foul word, but that lecture on being an adult and self control has lasted me until now.
CE-C Hogan, I thank you.

...And we had to paint the walls as extra duty that night.

Not to get all Godwins on you, but

You know who was the first to make a policy of using abortions and sterilizations on the unfit, right?

Fun with cameras

and guns:

Yeah, that should help

I don't have the stats to prove it, but I seem to be hearing a lot more about people going the wrong way on divided highways lately. Lately as like the last two or three years.

Which kind of co-insides with the increase of traffic and the accidents that increase when you mix all the different crappy driving styles from all the blue states mixing where the economy is still working.

Now TxDOT is going to fix the problem.
They're going to instal flashing lights at every off ramp in the city and radar ...somewhere.

Maybe they could stop more by writing those "exit only" signs in Spanish.

It took a Democrat schemer to make me see the truth

This guy is the Washington Insider that Ulsterman interviews for insight into the behind the scenes political machinations and what we can expect.

He knows what's behind the scene behind the curtain, and he's convinced me that, yeah- I'll vote for whoever the Machine puts up.

He also explains why each Republican candidate has taken the lead to be hammered in turn...ecxept for Rick Perry.
UM:  The RedState story?  On Santorum’s big government – his less than conservative record?
Insider:  Yeah – that stupid sh-t your put up on the blog. Knock that sh-t off.  Like right now.  No more of it.  I don’t wanna see no more of it.  Obama is the target.  Go after Obama and stay the f-ck outta messin’ with the other…the primary stories.  At least don’t go pittin’ one candidate against the others – media doin’ enough of that.  Don’t need you and everyone else like you falling right in line and doin’ the same like a bunch a braindead liberal bloggin’ fool soldiers.  Focus everything – and I mean everything, on messin’ with Obama.  The other stuff…the Republican primary…they are running a classic pump and dump. Been doin’ it against them for months.  I warned you about it – sh-t…how long ago now?  Were you not listening to me?
UM:  Pump and dump?  I don’t recall hearing that term.
Insider:  I told you about that…pretty sure I did.  Maybe it was someone else?  Don’t matter…so long as you don’t keep fallin’ for it.  You and everyone else who pretends they are paying attention to this stuff.
UM:  What is…what is a “pump and dump”?
Insider:  It’s old school politics.  A political tactic.  Been around since Jesus was a kid.  It’s – now you remember the “McCain the Campaign” thing, right?  How he was done then shot up in the polls outta nowhere.  Money started pouring in.  I know you gotta remember that.  A political pump and dump is a version of that…it’s the version.  The McCain thing was a bit of a variation but the principle is exactly the same.
UM:  And what is the principle?  The purpose?
Insider:  Chaos.  Uncertainty.  Infighting.  Repress the vote.  You notice the stories about low voter turnout?  You see that happening?  That’s gotta be makin’ the Obama people very-very happy.  Godd–mn Republicans are losing this thing.  Idiots gonna lose this if they don’t get their sh-t together right quick now.

~snip~

I’ve read the comments by people sayin’ they are conservative.  If Romney gets the nomination…or if Gingrich gets the nomination…or if Santorum gets the nomination…whoever gets the f-cking nomination – they are sayin’ they won’t voter for them because “they’re just like Obama.”  Really?  Is that right?  BULLSH-T.  There ain’t nobody “just like Obama” people.  Believe me.  You ain’t got a f-cking clue if that’s what you really think.  This country ain’t seen anybody reach the White House like Obama.  Or more importantly – the people around Obama.  The ones supporting and pushing Obama.  Giving him the agenda, the words, the whole f-cking plan.  So shut the hell up about not voting for the Republican because they are “just like Obama.”  That kind of talk is comin’ from somebody who either is dumb as f-ck or is working for the campaign.  The Obama campaign.  And they are crawling all over your stupid Facebook thing.  And leaving comments on your stories.  I warned you about that.  There’s gonna be more of it.  A lot more.  You hear somebody saying they won’t support the Republican because they are ”just like Obama” – you ignore that sh-t.  It  ain’t worth your time.
Any of these Republicans – ANY OF THEM, are a hell of an improvement over Barack Obama.  If it’s Santorum, or Romney, or Gingrich, or Paul…you fall in line and you support that candidate and you vote Obama the f-ck out.  That’s the goal.  That’s your motivation.  PERIOD.  Because if you don’t do that…if you give this administration four more years…I’ve already said enough on that, right?  It’s never going back…the country…this version of America is finished and I got no real idea as to how different it’s gonna be.  We won’t recognize it – I know that.  I was talking to a fella last week about the Senate…plans to take the Senate.  Republicans.  As a stop-gap, right?  You know what he told me?  Looked me straight in the eye and said – “It won’t matter.  He has pushed executive authority so far already…it won’t matter.  Give him a couple more Supreme Court nominees…it won’t matter.  If he gets the White House again…IT WON’T MATTER.”
Gave me chills to hear that.  This guy don’t talk like that.  He’s seen and done more than me with this stuff…and he sounded downright defeated.  And we’re not even in March yet.  So yeah - you Republicans better fall in line when that nominee is chosen.  No more of this political purity I want the perfect candidate nonsense. Grow the f-ck up and vote out Obama.

I'm not sure if this is the same WH insider as I've been reading because his language isn't as refined/educated as it usually is. So that tells me that he's really trying to get things done to oust Obama, or he's a different insider- but I doubt it.

RTWT and lets fight that socialist.

The new Obama election slogan

There, I fixed it!

Sounds like some Private is in deep sh1t

There's riots over at Bagram right now because somehow some fairy tails Korans ended up either getting burned, or almost getting burned. Because they ended up in the trash that was going to get burned.
You know who takes out the garbage in the military, right?

OR  they were going to be ceremoniously destroyed for having extremist inscriptions in them.
Of COURSE they did- it the Islamic Holy book. It tells them how to act.

But, hey. At least the entire hierarchy of the entire Obama administration is kicking ass to apologize to islam.

Hey, has anyone told Barry about all those Christians being killed and beaten over in Muzzi-land?

People are acting like this is surprising news

That a Liberal with an agenda would lie.

I mean ...if you knew someone was a Liberal would you expect anything but twisting thing so that it comes out 180 off of what is meant?
Or to LIE about yourself, your credentials or your identity.

(In his blog on the HuffPo) Gleick publicly confessed to deceitful tactics that he described as a serious ethical slip.
 “In a serious lapse of my own and professional judgment and ethics, I solicited and received additional materials directly from the Heartland Institute under someone else’s name,” Gleick wrote.

Dude, you're a LIBERAL- you don't have any ethics.
BUT- understand that I *HAD* to do it because of those Climate Heretics...
“My judgment was blinded by my frustration with the ongoing efforts — often anonymous, well-funded, and coordinated — to attack climate science and scientists and prevent this debate … nevertheless I deeply regret my own actions in this case.


Al Bore seen off to the side looking confused at the kerfluffle about lies and disinformation...

Situational awareness

I don't even have to say what's going to happen the first time a Republican mentions the girls

According to the WaPo, the first slimebag is going to be using his two tween girls in his next scorched earth campaign.

“The value of the family is enormous,” said Democratic pollster Celinda Lake. “The more you know this family and the more you think of Barack Obama in these terms, the harder it is to vilify him.”
During his presidency, Obama’s children have rarely been featured in such an overtly political way. He has been pointed about leaving family members, especially his children, out of politics. But with the first lady enjoying high popularity, his family may become an important factor this year.
Really? Maybe where you are, but not with the people who actually have to work for the things they buy, and can't afford to jet off to Aspen with her 1% pals.

Michelle Obama has said she is “all in” for her husband’s reelection and plans to campaign about three days a week once the general election starts.
Oh, great- even MORE Air Force Two expenses we'll have to pick up.

She recently indicated that her daughters are up to the rigors of the campaign too, telling reporters who traveled with her last week that Malia and Sasha enjoy campaigning.
“When they were younger, when we were first running, what was campaigning? Campaigning was you fly into a city with a bunch of young campaign workers who love kids, and they took them for ice cream,” she said. “I mean, one day I counted it — this was before ‘Let’s Move!’ We were back on the plane and I found out exactly what they were doing when I was on the stage. They had had ice cream four times that day. So Sasha is like, ‘I love campaigning!’ They’re ready to go.”
So, the First Scold is going to let them eat all that unhealthy crap she's telling the commoners not to eat?
--------->this is my shocked face. <------

Obama has from time to time used selective stories about his daughters to illustrate how they keep him in the real world. The first lady mentioned recently that the president has been coaching Sasha’s basketball team.
“He hasn’t missed a game,” she said.
So- no matter where in the world he is, he jets back to watch the sprogs play ball?
Good thing they don't play on a golf week-end...

Anyway, the first time anyone says anything not praiseworthy about about the newest campaign candy, you know the MSM will be allover them worse than they were about Nixon.

I'm glad to see them dropping the charges

Against Trey Attwater who was arrested for bringing explosives on board a domestic commercial flight.
... for the second time

...Because the TSA experts at the N.C. airport where he left from didn't find them in his carry-on when he went through them the FIRST TIME.

Democrats on the march

How many future Democrat congressmen do you see?

Superhuman strength

Lori just getting out of a rollover and braining a zombie with a lightweight plastic hubcap?
Srsly?

Rick yanking the kids leg off a broadhead shaped fence picket? That's a good three inches in width?
Yea, ok.

A jealous friend?
Looking at you Shane.


Unimaginable marksmanship from a .357 - one handed, but that's how Rick rolls.

In the catagory if misleading headlines...

Swedish supermodel sheds clothes for naked....

You already clicked didn't you?
Well, there's no good nekkie pics of him.

Texting, if it doesn't kill you...

It'll make you look like a fool.

The guys left shoulder about halfway through-

Looking out for the 99%

The super rich 1%-er Bruce Springsteeen is dedicating his next tour to the #OWS tards.

Speaking to a group of journalists at the Theatre Marigny in Paris, Springsteen described how the financial crisis, income inequality, and other hot-button political issues informed Wrecking Ball, which paints a picture of an America that has failed the working class.
"My work has always been about judging the distance between American reality and the American Dream--how far is that at any given moment," Springsteen said. Judging by the album's tenor, he believes the gap has only become wider in recent years.
You too can help support the ones being used by the 1% by attending his concerts this summer.
Tickets start at $135 for the cheap seats and skyrocket from there.

Now, you all go out and buy his tickets and albums so he can maybe buy a mansion next to the other hero of the 99%- the wealthy Micheal Moore.

So, who is ESPN going to fire for this?

Because we all know ESPN makes a habit of firing people who make un-PC statements at the drop of a hat.

But- since it was about a race that's not a PC protected class and he's one of 'those' fundi Christians, we'll let it slide with just a halfhearted apology.
It's not like they made fun of the thinnest skinned president America has ever had, is it?


It's not that I really give a sh1t about millionaires playing a kids game, but just wanted to point out (again) the hypocrisy of the Left.

UPDATE -
An un-named employee of the very PC  ESPN did get themselves fired from the stern believers of diversity and zero tolerance.

Good morning

Like an old boss used to say..

It ain't no fun to be one if you don't act like one.

Right Bobby Brown?

That's all I have to say about Whitney's funeral.

This is my stepdaughters cat

He's in Camp Pendelton right now.

Just STFU and siddown- Cooter

As an ex-Representative from Georgia, and a Democrat- you don't have any say in the way YOU people were busy censoring free speech.
No matter how much you want to dig on that old "it's history" line, YOU people are the ones responsible for the "General Lee" not being a NASCAR pace car.

Because YOU made it wrong, you and your fellow Liberals in the NAACP are the ones that tied it directly to the clan and slavery. And all this Barbara Streisand you're spouting now about the glorious history and proud Red-necks.

While it is true that the Confederate Battle Flag has been used by extremist groups like the KKK, these groups also display the American Flag and the Christian cross in their rituals. However, the vast majority of the display of the St. Andrews Cross Flag is in a benign spirit of remembrance and reverence.
I am a veteran of the Civil Rights Movement, a Life Member of the NAACP, and a proud member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans.  As a cast member of "The Dukes of Hazzard" and the owner of several "General Lees", I can attest that the car and our show reflect the very best of American values, and that Hazzard County was a place where racism was not tolerated.

And you don't see any hypocrisy between your banning something you don't want anfd now wanting the same thing given to you...because you want it.

Found on my facebook page

An intraservice language translator.

The only thing I'm going to say about that last column is this-
When I was in, we couldn't wear our greens (BDU'S) off base unless we were heading straight home, but we'd see the Air Force pukes members walking around the malls in their greens with unbloused pants and untucked shits and scuffed boots.

The newest meme about the elections is SCOTUS

Or I've been seeing it a little more anyway.
I saw it on a blog that I can't remember the other day where he quoted someone as saying we *HAVE* to support Willard because otherwise Obama will fill the Supreme Court with Liberal Judges.

I mentioned in my comments that I doubted he would do much better than Himself that way, but we need to check his record.
I just did after something else nudged me.

When Mittens was the Governor of Mass., he appointed Liberals and Democrats to the Bench.

Legal analysts say candidate Romney is different from Gov. Romney.
Liberty Counsel Action Vice President Matt Barber said Romney’s appointments were constitutional “living document” poster children.
“Many of Romney’s appointments were not only liberal, not only Democrats, but were radical counter-constitutionalists. How on earth can we expect that, as president, he would be any different?” Barber asked rhetorically.
“Actions speak louder than words, and Mitt Romney’s actions as governor scream from the rooftops that he cannot be trusted with this most important of presidential responsibilities.”
Barber cites two specific examples of Romney’s radical appointments.
“As governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney not only failed in this regard, he appointed a number of very liberal, if not radical, ‘living, breathing’-minded judges to the bench,” Barber said.
“Two that come to mind were extreme homosexualists Marianne C. Hinkle and Stephen Abany,” he said. “They both had a long history of pro-gay activism, yet Romney didn’t hesitate to put them on the bench.”
“These are people who outrageously believe the postmodern notion that newfangled ‘gay rights’ trump our constitutionally guaranteed First Amendment rights,” he said.

~But I'm sure he's had time to flop~

“Romney did focus on two criteria: their legal experience and whether they would be tough on crime. In other words, the nominee could be a gay activist or a pro-big government, pro-quota, pro-gun control Democrat Party hack who detests every judicial principle treasured by our founding fathers,” Baldwin said. “But if he happens to be tough on crime and have prosecutorial experience, he gets past the Romney filter. Many of Romney’s nominees fit that description.”
Baldwin added that Romney did have some ideological criteria for many of his nominees:
“It was criteria commonly used by the left. For starters, his nominees were mostly pro-abortion. Indeed, while campaigning for governor in 2002, Romney told the National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL) that his judicial nominees would more likely protect abortion rights than would those of a Democrat Governor, according to notes from a person attending this meeting.”
Another Romney criteria, Baldwin explained, was “diversity.”
“The other criteria consistently emphasized by Gov. Romney in deciding judicial selections was ‘diversity.’ This is the silly notion that judgeships should reflect the population in terms of race and gender and even sexual orientation, regardless of a person’s judicial philosophy,” he said. “Clearly, the use of diversity quotas demonstrates Romney’s lack of a coherent conservative worldview.”


So, tell me again how we just HAVE to vote for the lesser of two evils again?
...And when this country goes Greece - I want it to happen under a Democrat. This Democrat.
That way we can get it over with and restart the whole thing.
And we can use the Democrat Party as examples of why we're getting back to basics and dumping their PC bullshit.

Why am I getting mail spam from blogger now?

I keep getting mail from some Republican Biatch (no, you keep filling my mailbox with unwanted mail- you're NOT a woman) no matter how many times I mark her mail as spam.

Now I'm getting mail from some blog that I never heard of, and have no interest in reading.

My new phone is beeping again

It's a Blackberry flip that I got on E-bay for $125 unlocked so I can use my own prepaid card.

It's the third one I got.
The first one said it was unlocked, but wasn't- I guess that is just an advertising thing anymore.

The second one I got wouldn't charge for sh1it.
This one either has a battery that lasts for three days or the battery decides it only want to work for four hours.

I got this because on two user review sites it got 4 1/2 stars and very few complaints, and the ones it got -I don't care about.

I can't use it anywhere out of line-of-site to a cell tower (I live in the sticks), the 2.0MPEG camera is foggy (one of the reasons I got it), and it can't hold a charge longer than two hours off a USB charger (because the wall charger broke when I unplugged it for another outlet).

I will never get another Research In Motion product. -Unless someone else is paying for it.

When I start the new job, Ill be going to Verizon and their gzOne phones.
It worked well after they worked out their software problems, so I guess I have to bite the bullet for a good phone...

Hey Granpaw! What's fer supper?

Since I didn't get a chance to swing by Chesters Chicken, I'm making my own deep fried Gizzards.
And since the shortenings hot, I'll probably make some onion rings, too.

Are you better off than you were three years ago?

Are you one of the the 3.5 million new jobs that got created by the Stimulus Bill?

“What makes this recovery plan so important is not just that it will create or save three-and-a-half million jobs over the next two years. … It’s that we’re putting Americans to work doing the work that America needs done, work that will bring real and lasting change for generations to come.” – President Obama on Feb. 17, 2009

Yeah, well Happy Birthday there to the results of the Unicorn rider.

Because of you, all our roads got fixed and our bridges aren't falling do.....  OH WAIT.

That's what this NEW Stimulus bill will do, won't it?

In other news that's not

The Very Wealthy actor Skussoli is visiting his best friend in South America and dissing on Republicans.

"That would be the least amongst their weaknesses," Penn said. "It's never predictable what can happen in an American election, but we certainly believe at this point that it's becoming increasingly clear to the American people that the policies of the far right are the policies of the rich, and that they are to the exclusion of the middle class and the poor, and that no society has a future on that basis. "

Said the One Percenter who, along with his filthy rich buddies think nothing of shelling out more than the average American makes in a year for a plate of chicken at an Obama fundraiser.

So this means one of two things-

Either they have never seen RHPS-

or they have and want to scare the girls..who don't like blonde hunchbacks.


Ohhh,,,,,that kind of Riff Raff,  girls- the original Riff was better...as usual.

Congrats to G.M. for your last quarter

Record profits huh?

Great!

When can we taxpayers see some kind of repayment?
We got stock?
Ok buy the f*ckers back at what you say they're worth.
