Narrow Escape

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

I’m ready to begin the Bacchanalian celebration of feasting and firearms alongside every other red-blooded American who understands the nature of our freedoms and the ease with which they can be taken away. That being said, I can’t help but feel like this decision was more of an escape than a victory. In a case about whether or not the state can impose virtually limitless restrictions on the Second Amendment protections of the American people, four of nine justices think that they can. I can’t count the number of times I’ve heard someone ask in a frustrated tone, “how can liberals place such high value on First Amendment protections and then advocate violation of the Second Amendment in the next breath?” I think the answer to that question can be summed up best by this foul piece of logic by Justice Stevens in the dissent:

In a dissent he summarized from the bench, Justice John Paul Stevens wrote that the majority “would have us believe that over 200 years ago, the Framers made a choice to limit the tools available to elected officials wishing to regulate civilian uses of weapons.”

Read that steaming pile of excrement again and substitute the phrase “political dissent” for “uses of weapons” and you get an idea for just how insane the statement is. Yes, you doddering old fool, that’s exactly the choice they made. And with every reaking, half-assed justification for “common-sense gun control” that emanates from the festering gobs of wannabe tyrants on the left, the timeless wisdom of that choice becomes more clear.

The struggle over the gun issue, in which we have no doubt won an important victory today, is a small, but significant, battle in a war we are losing badly. At the risk of pissing all over an otherwise happy occasion, if we lose on issues like nationalized health-care, government takeover of industry, suicidal foreign policy, and, God help us, climate change, the joy of this victory will vanish like an illegal immigrant with a deportation hearing.

The goal of all of this is, of course, dependency. Cradle to grave, suckling at the public teat, helpless as a baby chick dependency. The more dependent you are, the more control they have, and the more control they have, the better able they will be to usher in their utopian vision of perfected humanity. Sure, they may be taking away a little freedom now and then, but it’s for your own good, you see. One day, when their vision comes to pass, it will all be worth it.

Still, today feels pretty damn good, and I, for one, intend to celebrate by adding something black and scary-looking to the Army of Dog arsenal. Or perhaps, in honor of the long-overdue demise of the DC ban, another 1911. Hell, maybe both, you see I’m just whimsical that way.

Senator HopeChange’s Staff Screws the Proverbial Pooch

Wednesday, June 18th, 2008

The Obamessiah comes to you with a message of hope, inclusion, international harmony, and racial unity … unless of course your a muslim chick in a headscarf.  In that case, you’d best scoot to the end of the stage where we can make sure you don’t wind up in the photos.

Two Muslim women at Barack Obama’s rally in Detroit Monday were barred from sitting behind the podium by campaign volunteers seeking to prevent the women’s headscarves from appearing in photographs or on television with the candidate.
The campaign has apologized to the women, all Obama supporters who said they felt betrayed by their treatment at the rally.

Cue the jokes about “These aren’t the volunteers I knew.”  Actually, the campaign spokesman was very careful to make sure that his statement included the idea that these were volunteers.

“This is of course not the policy of the campaign. It is offensive and counter to Obama’s commitment to bring Americans together and simply not the kind of campaign we run,” said Obama spokesman Bill Burton. “We sincerely apologize for the behavior of these volunteers.”

My question is this:  Were these volunteers just random bigots who did all of this on their own?  I find it hard to believe that two separate campaign volunteers in two separate incidents managed to both have the same idea about women in headscarves?  Sounds a little thin to me.  I wouldn’t go so far as to say that this is campaign policy, but I would give excellent odds that these two got the idea to exclude hijabs from someone higher on the food chain.

Help Stop Dog Abuse

Friday, June 13th, 2008

Humans have the right to be stupid enough to fall for the Obamessiah’s bullshit, but that doesn’t really entitle you to drag your dog into it.  That’s exactly what the cruel bastards who submitted photos to Puppies4Obama have done.  The site is full of Obamaniacs sending in photos and claiming that their dogs are just licking themselves with anticipation at the idea of an Obama presidency. 

Of course, you can’t just submit a picture, mind you.  First you have to donate money to the Obama campaign, then you can send in your photo.  Even better, you might win their contest for Obama Dog of the Year.  Here are last year’s winners:

obamadog

Now,I see a lot of dogs on a day-to-day basis, so I like to think that I can read canine body language better than most.  I’m pretty sure that these facial expressions don’t say “Obama in 08!!”  More like “You have to fucking sleep sometime, human.” 

If You’re a Pervert, It’s Nice to Have a Job Where You Wear a Robe All Day

Ira Isaacs is being prosecuted in federal court for violating obscenity laws.  He apparently likes to make porn that deals with urine, feces, violence against women, and bestiality.  So, we’ve established that Isaacs is a complete douchebag.  That’s not really the interesting part.  The interesting part is that the judge presiding over the case has decided to initiate an ethics investigation against himself for posting porn on his own website.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - The criminal prosecution of a hard-core pornographer turned into a personal trial for the presiding judge, who called for an investigation Thursday into his own conduct over lewd photos and videos stored on his family’s publicly accessible Web site.

Alex Kozinski, chief judge of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, asked an ethics panel of the court to initiate proceedings after the disclosure about his trove of sexually explicit material.

What kind of material, you ask?

The computerized cache included a picture of two nude women on all fours painted to look like Holstein dairy cows, images of masturbation, a video of a man being pursued by a sexually aroused donkey and a slide show featuring a striptease with a transsexual.

If you’re going to preside over an obscenity case, it’s probably not wise to let the world know that you’re into chicks with dicks and men being molested by donkeys.  At the very least, not the donkey part.

It has been long established that the 9th Circuit is completely batshit on most things, so that makes this more funny than sad.  The best part is that this case initially gained attention because of a report by the AP that potential jurors were “nauseated” by the idea that sitting on this trial would require them to actually watch Isaacs’ material.  When one potential juror asked the obvious question about how long they would have to watch video of animal fucking and fun with bodily fluids, the judge reassured them thus:

… Kozinski told them it would be about five hours and “I will be there watching with you. This is part of the job we’re doing.”

Uh-huh, it’s just the kind of sacrifice Judge Happy-Pants is willing to make in the name of truth, justice, and the American way.

I Think They’ve Underestimated the Supply

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

Michelle Malkin has a story about a new campaign designed to make young men believe that if they vote for Republicans, the supply of bitter, partisan skanks with little or no self respect will suddenly dry up like a water hole in the Serengeti. Yeah, I’m thinking not. My guess is that horny people will continue to drink themselves into a stupor and bump uglies with strangers regardless of political affiliation. I’m not knocking it, mind you.

Here’s their retarded edgy and hip video designed to go viral and rally the always reliable “youth vote.”

Ever Wonder Who They Write Those Ridiculous Safety Warnings For?

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

This guy:

All the medical technology in the world, and we remove a nail from a guy’s head with a claw hammer? I have my suspicions about that aspect, but it’s damn funny. Unless you’re the one with the nail.

Seven Dead Because None of Them Had a Gun

Sunday, June 8th, 2008

Japan, the favorite model for gun-grabbers, experienced an event whose very title belies the criminal nature of disarming private citizens, a “mass stabbing.”  Seven people, six men and a young woman, were killed and another dozen were injured when a “suicidal” nutbag ran his truck into a crowd and started stabbing people at random.

A man went on a stabbing spree Sunday in a Tokyo neighbourhood famed for comic-book subculture, killing at least seven people and leaving around a dozen injured in Japan’s deadliest crime in years.

The assailant, who later told police he was “tired of living,” drove a truck into a crowd of pedestrians shortly after noon in Tokyo’s bustling Akihabara area before jumping out and stabbing strangers while screaming.

The assailant was identified as Tomohiro Kato, 25, from central Shizuoka prefecture. He first said he was a gangster before retracting his story.

“I came to Akihabara to kill people. It didn’t matter whom I’d kill,” he was quoted by Jiji Press as telling police.

Did you ever think that you’d long for the good old days, when anti-social losers would just kill themselves with a shotgun and blame hidden messages in heavy metal records?

By the time Kato finally dropped his knife with an officer’s gun pointed at him, 17 people lay bloodied on the street of the crowded district, according to fire department and police officials.

Kato had blood running down the side of his face as he was taken into custody.

Jiji Press and other Japanese media said seven people were dead — six men aged 19, 20, 29, 33, 47 and 74, and a 21-year-old woman.

The attack fell on the anniversary of the last incident of similar magnitude — a stabbing frenzy that left eight children dead at a Japanese elementary school in 2001.

Well, what do ya know?  It turns out that having a gun does in fact put a damper on the melee habits of knife-wielding psychopaths.  Who’d a thunk it?  And this has happened twice for Christ’s sake?  It’s bad enough that people die in this country when some asshole takes a gun into a crowd of forcibly-disarmed citizens and does this kind of damage, but a fucking knife?!  If you need an example of just how fucking defenseless the castrated douchebags at Handgun Control and their ilk want you to be, just imagine 17 injured in a public place by a loser with a survival knife.

The elementary school attack stunned Japan, which prides itself on its safety, and authorities moved to step up security at schools.

In another knifing spree, a man in 1999 drove into the main train station in the southwestern city of Shimonoseki and stabbed to death five people.

Japan tightly restricts guns. But in December last year, a licensed hunter with a vendetta barged into a private gym in the western town of Sasebo and shot dead two people.

This is happening in a racially homogenous, ancient society that views conformity as an extreme social virtue (all of which is ignored completely by the self-righteous Brady assholes when their beating us over the head with Japan’s crime statistics).  I wish to whatever god is out there that we could all just learn one simple fucking lesson:  You cannot keep the wolves from attacking the sheep, all you can do is arm the sheep and try to give them the advantage.  Of course this idea will never be accepted by the twerps that campaign for “sensible” gun control because it’s not an idea that makes them feel all warm and fuzzy.  And God knows, in the world of liberal self-gratification, dead, defenseless citizens are a small matter.

Of course, this whole incident is probably just a result of Japan’s “sword-obsessed culture” anyway, so, never mind.

They Chose … Poorly

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

So Senator Lord & Savior is now the Democratic Party nominee.  In other news, he’s still a fucking disaster as well.  Despite an entire political career of sympathy for Palestinian terrorists, he felt the need to go before AIPAC and tell them how committed he is to making sure that Iran doesn’t nuke 6 million Jews … sort of.

Calling for “aggressive, principled diplomacy” to tackle the problem of the Islamic regime in Tehran, he also warned he would never take the military option off the table in guaranteeing US and Israeli security.

“As president of the United States, I would be willing to lead tough and principled diplomacy with the appropriate Iranian leader at a time and place of my choosing — if, and only if — it can advance the interests of the United States.”

“Never take the military option off the table?”  How much of a leftist douchebag do you have to be before the idea of taking the military option “off the table” even occurs to you?  Under what set of circumstances do you promise your enemy that you will absolutely not take military action?  Here’s a hard and fast international diplomacy rule: other hostile countries are more likely to do what we want when they think there’s at least a possibility that we might shove a few hundred JDAMs up their collective ass. 

The second sentence in that quote sums up everything you need to know about the man.  Even with all of the shortcomings of the current President, would you really need him to assure you of his commitment to advancing “the interests of the United States?”  Of course not, because you can comfortably assume that whatever he does, he believes that to be the best course of action for the country.  Obama?  Not so much.

Dog Days

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

I’m in Texas, where we have Spring for about four days in early April, and it’s already hotter than alien balls.  Luckily I’m in an air conditioned store all day, but the heat seems to cause the new canine acquisition to sleep roughly 28 hours per day.  Not that I’m complaining, because he’s pretty cute doing it.  Here are some quick snapshots of his favorite activity.

Okay, so he’s not technically sleeping in this one, but the chin-on-the-floor thing is his other primary position.

I’m not going to get into Rachel Lucas territory or anything, but I’ll put up some better shots when life slows down a little.  Probably some time in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

Get the Cuffs Ready

A French court convicted Brigitte Bardot of “provoking discrimination and racial hatred.”

PARIS - A Paris court on Tuesday convicted Brigitte Bardot of provoking discrimination and racial hatred for writing that Muslims are destroying France.

The court also handed down a $23,325 fine against the former screen siren and animal rights campaigner.

A leading French anti-racism group known as MRAP filed a lawsuit last year over a letter she sent to then-Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy. The remarks were published in her foundation’s quarterly journal.

In the December 2006 letter to Sarkozy, now the president, Bardot said France is “tired of being led by the nose by this population that is destroying us, destroying our country by imposing its acts.”

She was referring to the Muslim feast of Aid el-Kebir, celebrated by slaughtering sheep.

French anti-racism laws prevent inciting hatred and discrimination on racial or religious or racial grounds. Bardot, 73, had been convicted four times previously for inciting racial hatred.

Bardot is an animal rights nutbag, but if that’s the only type of person left in Europe that will oppose the Islamization of the entire continent, I’ll take it.  As many have said before, Europe is lost.  When you get tired of fighting the fight, when you wonder why hundreds of thousands of our bravest souls must travel half the world away to face the enemy, when you want to give up and just let the whole thing fall down, remember this article.  It should remind us that there truly is no place else to go.

For those of you who don’t know or can’t remember, this is what Brigitte Bardot used to look like.  It’s not relevant, but I like the pictures of hot, scantily-clad women.  Sue me.
