Army of Dog

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.”

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.

what “Deréon” means, but I’m pretty sure that it translates roughly as “whore training.” 

The Spartans used to train their boys to be warriors from birth, this is like that except it’s little girls and we’re training them to be hookers.  On the plus side, at least we know the downfall of Western Civilization won’t be slow and drawn out.

A local girl wants to dress like a cheap call girl and attend her prom.  An adult sponsor of the event sees her dressed like something off of Cathouse: Season Two and denies her entry.  Long story short, she gets belligerent and the cops get called.  No prom for her. 

I can’t decide what the most disturbing aspect of this incident is, that a 17 year-old feels the need to dress like a hooker at her own prom, or the fact that the local television news coverage sounds so damn sympathetic.

As it becomes more and more apparent that John McCain will try to paint himself as the truly “bipartisan” candidate, I begin to ask myself “Is it possible that the Democrats’ attempt to paint McCain as ‘too conservative’ may actually help him?”  I ask that because reading this breathless Huffington Post article about McCain’s tax plan actually made me feel good about his candidacy for the first time since I last muttered the words “First Lady of the United States Michelle Obama” quietly to myself.  Whoever Jared Bernstein is, he’s apparently shitting himself over the prospect of a McCain victory in November, in no small part because of the Republican’s evil secret plan to actually cut back the growth of government.

I hold in my hand one of the most important pieces of paper in America: Table T08-0071, an analysis of candidate John McCain’s tax plan.

OK, it’s not really in my hand because I’m typing, but I’m looking at it carefully, and you should too. It is a table constructed by the Tax Policy Center’s steely-eyed tax analysts, and it reveals nothing less than McCain’s secret plan to diminish the US government beyond recognition. If he gets his way, conservatives will finally be able to say they’ve achieved the goal set out by Grover Norquist: to get government “down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub.”

 

Don’t fucking tease me Jared.  So help me, if you’re getting me all excited with Norquist quotes and the threat of unemployed federal bureaucrats just to let me down, I’ll go out and shoot an endangered species, I swear to God.

No wait, it gets better:

Plus, he can’t fill the hole he’s dug with cuts in these programs either, which leads you to the inevitable punch line of all this: his target is the entitlements, Social Security and Medicare. Those programs have always been the big enchiladas for the Norquist shock troops and they’ve never recovered from their Social Security privatization defeat. Well, they’re back, incognito.

Again, I don’t know or care who the fuck Jared Bernstein is, but evidently he failed Political Science 101.  You know, the part about “when your opponent is busy pissing off his base, don’t fucking help him by talking about his plan to carve up government programs they hate.”  But what do you expect from a guy whose biography tells us the he has a PhD in “social welfare.”  No shit, they’re giving out doctoral degrees in social welfare now.

The Code Pink gals are still maintaining their ever-weakening siege on the Marine Corps Recruiting Center in Berkeley, and now their going with a Mother’s Day theme-week that ends today.  To bring this wildly successful campaign to a close, they’ve decided to forego costumes and just come to the protest as witches and crones.  They’re claiming to also have “sirens,” but we have photos of these women and they just aren’t going to be able to pull that bullshit off.

Code Pink and their pathetic protest have been boring as hell for months now, but there was one really interesting quote in the article.  The quote comes from Zanne Sam Joi, Code Pink truck driver and certified fucking nutjob.

“Women are coming to cast spells and do rituals and to impart wisdom to figure out how we’re going to end war,” Zanne Sam Joi of Bay Area Code Pink told FOXNews.com.

Click the link, I’m not making that shit up.  Hell, I couldn’t make it up if I wanted to.  Before we examine that inane contribution to the issue of war and peace, let’s get a little background, shall we.  Zanne Joi has her own blog here, where she describes herself thus:

i’m a 57 yr old jewish lesbian anti-racist mother striving radical womonist/feminist; daughter & granddaughter of survivors of the holocaust, mother of a young amazon healer & amazing human being, lover of wimmin & student of consicous living…………even tho i am the one actually driving the truck, i could not even head out from home if it were not for the support of many, many, many wimmin (and several men as well). If you want to help support my trip across the country, spreading codepink, registering voters, working to DEFEAT BUSH, please click the “Make a Donation” link below- it’s secure!

For those of you who only speak Literate, let me translate.  “I hate men, and America, and I’ll use my parents suffering to try to add legitimacy to my batshit political views.  I drive a truck, Bushhitler sucks, now send me money.”

Zanne and her Code Pink friends like to travel around trying to bring “peace” by protesting anything that even looks like it might be able to protect American interests in a time of crisis.  Their success, to be kind, has been limited.  I have a humble suggestion for the crones of Code Pink.  Why don’t you pack up your shit and go cast spells and do rituals to end war in the front yards of the people who actually start this shit?  Seriously, get the kids, tell your life partner to take off a few weeks from work, get in the truck, and head on over to Gaza, Mosul, Tehran, or Beirut and cast spells on the jihadi assholes who are, as we speak, training kids to hate Jews and kill Americans.  Maybe then your dumb, shriveled ass could have some chance of ending the need for the best and brightest of American society to travel over there and get shot at.

I’ll tell you why they don’t do that.  Because standing around a Marine Corps Recruiting Center and doing this crap is easy, and it has the added benefit of not being particularly dangerous.  You see, when a publicity-seeking group of desperate attention-whores needs a way to make spectacles of themselves, not being killed in the process is of paramount concern.  And make no mistake, if they pulled this witchcraft shit in any of the places I just mentioned and confronted the Bronze Age assholes who make all of this war and conflict necessary, even as a joke, they would be kidnapped, tied up in a burqa, and stoned to fucking death.  But it’s the Marines who are the killers, right?

And let me not end this tirade without bringing a little attention to another vapid piece of verbal spittle:

“The grandmothers were here and tried to get recruited,” Joi said. “They tried to have conversations with the Marines, but the Marines were too scared to talk.”

Let’s get one thing fucking straight, you crusty nutjob, if the goddamn Japanese Army couldn’t run the Marines off of Iwo-fucking-Jima, your gang of shriveled shrews not going to run them out of Berkely-goddamn-California.  I can’t speak for the mental state of every Marine in that office obviously, but I will bet every damn dime I have to my name that not one of them is fucking scared of you.

this idiot would be in the middle of childbirth. 

Re: “Speak English around children,” by John B. Dodson, Tuesday Letters.

Let’s be honest, don’t most of us wish we were fluent in at least one more language? A parent giving his or her child the gift of a foreign language can only be an asset on this planet.

As for culture, if these thousands of beautiful Hispanic children were taught the richness of their culture, it could only help them to become successful. The Mayan and Aztec civilizations were far more advanced than those of the ancestors of the pilgrims.

Maybe one reason these children begin to fail in middle school is because the only place they read about themselves is when studying the Alamo, which doesn’t do much for a child’s self-esteem.

Andrew Goldsmith, Irving

The original letter in the reference line was arguing that new immigrants whose children were learning English should speak English in the home instead of their native language as a means of immersion to speed up fluency.  Dickhead here is taking that solid piece of advice and whining about bilingual children, the Mayan civilization, and the fucking Alamo.  I know that white lefties are supposed to be intensely self-loathing.  It’s in the manual between driving a hybrid and overusing the word “ironic.”  However, this screed seems to distinguish the writer even among the usual “white people are evil” mantra.

Let’s take the first point.  It is obvious that being bilingual is beneficial.  And if the original point had been that children should only learn one language, it would be a valid and well-thought-out retort.  If, however, the original point was that too many children of Hispanic immigrants are falling behind in school because they can’t speak English, then going on about the benefits of being a polyglot makes you sound like an enormous retard.  Guess which category Mr. Goldsmith falls into.

We then take a complete fucking left turn into a diatribe about Latin American culture.  Putting aside the fact that it doesn’t have thing one to do with the issue at hand, let’s examine the contention.  The Mayans and the Aztecs certainly had advanced civilizations at various points throughout their history.  Keep in mind, however, that the heyday of the  Mayan civilization began about a hundred years after Alexander the Great died.  That means that while the Mayans were using hieroglyphs, the Greeks were building massive libraries.  So the idea that Meso-American cultures were even comparable to, much less “far more advanced than,” the European and Asian cultures of the same time period is utter bullshit.

The last point can only truly be appreciated if you live in California, Texas, New Mexico, or Arizona and study your state’s history in school as a child.  The idea that Texas History classes don’t start mentioning Mexicans until the Alamo is so laughable that it makes me think this asshole is really an imposter.  Texas History lasts an entire year, usually the seventh grade, in public schools (at least it did when I was in school in the late 80’s).  You start hearing non-Spanish surnames somewhere around Spring fucking Break.

Hollywood hates Arabs. At the least Hollywood uncritically reflects the fact that Americans hate Arabs. That’s why we make them the bad guys in all of our movies. How else would you explain the fact that Arabs keep showing up as the bad guys in movies about terrorism? I could understand the meme if most of the people out doing crazy shit like flying airplanes into buildings and blowing up schoolchildren were Arab Muslims, but most of that stuff is being done by little old Irish ladies from what I can tell.

Luckily, Jack Shaheen agrees with me about the whole “Hollywood unfairly portrays Arabs” thing, so he wrote a book called Guilty — Hollywood’s Verdict on Arabs after 9/11. In the book he apparently singles out movies that he thinks are the worst offenders. Films like The Kingdom and television shows like 24 have unfairly created an “Arab-American bogeyman.” If Hollywood were responsible when they make terrorism films, they would have the villain be Italian or maybe a militant Native Hawaiian separatist. Anything but an Arab Muslim.

Here’s a comparison list of Jack’s good films vs. bad films in terms of Arab Muslim portrayal:

I know what you’re thinking, “Brett, all of those films in the ‘good’ column seem to be virulently anti-American, anti-military, and anti-Bush Administration films. Is it possible that a man who describes himself as ‘a committed internationalist and a devoted humanist‘ might, perhaps, be making this ridiculous contention in an attempt to equate narratives that don’t fit a left-wing view of terrorism with ethnic bigotry?” To which I say “RACIST!!!”

When Seung-Hui Cho went into that building and began shooting, he opened what may well be one of the darkest chapters in modern American collegiate history. The one-year anniversary of the event is being used by gun-control advocates to try to make us all defenseless, per their usual position. According to the Dallas Morning News, they are using a bunch of useful idiot college students to protest a proposed law that would allow students and faculty who hold concealed carry permits to carry their guns on campus.

Students gathered Wednesday in front of Dallas City Hall on the anniversary of the Virginia Tech shootings to remember those who died and to protest legislation that would allow guns in schools.

For each one of the students and teachers who died in the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history, 32 students remembered the victims by lying on the ground. As the name of each victim was read, a bell tolled.

A total of about 100 elementary, high school and college students gathered for the event.

The event was echoed in other cities as more than 80 communities and colleges planned similar protests about guns on campus, said the North Texas Brady Campaign, which describes itself as a group that works to prevent gun violence.

Let’s see, meaningless gesture designed to gain attention? Check. Blatant exploitation of children far too young to understand the issue they’re being asked to protest? Check. Dishonest attempt to connect a policy position with a monopoly on the desire to stop something that everyone agrees is bad? Check. Looks like we have all of the core ingredients of a leftist exercise in ghoulish self-aggrandizement.

We are, of course, treated to the usual breathtaking logic of gun-control advocates.

“We at El Centro (College) say it’s time to do more to stop gun violence, especially in our schools,” said student president Ashley Holmes in a news release. “School is not a place for guns. We have campus police and Dallas police available for our protection,” she later said at the event.

That must have been the problem at Virginia Tech, they didn’t have campus or local police available to intervene. What’s that? They did have campus police and it was thirty minutes into the shootings before they showed up and another five minutes before they made their way in the building and up to the floor where they found the gunman dead?

The stupidity continues.

Some Spruce High School student council members from Dallas who joined the crowd said they were worried that states were considering laws that would allow weapons at schools.

“It’s important that we are here together to stop the law from passing,” said Sanjuanita Hernandez, 18. “There is already enough violence happening, we don’t need more.”

And there we have the crux of the issue. The point upon which leftist gun-control advocates and sane people will never seem to find common ground. In the world of lefties taking guns away from law-abiding citizens who carry them for self defense will keep criminals and psychopaths from using guns to kill innocent people. Just how in the hell that happens no one seems to know. They just believe it and it doesn’t matter if banning guns makes you more, less, or equally safe, because as long as they can feel better about the situation, actual results are meaningless.

In the hopes that some of the people who hold these types of positions on the gun issue are actually open to logic, let me say this. When a criminal decides to attack you, whether it’s with a gun, a knife, or their bare hands, the only way a police officer will be able to help you is if he happens to be standing nearby when the attack happens. Otherwise, the only real chance that most people have to avoid serious harm is dumb luck.

There are a number of people who are not willing to place their own fate or that of their loved ones in the hands of fortune. Those people will choose to be armed with a gun. Most of them will choose to learn everything they can to use that gun safely and effectively in a life-or-death situation. Many of them will be willing to put themselves in harm’s way to protect you in the event of an attack. In short, they are ready, willing, and able to meet the kind of threats we hear about on the news every day. Instead of attempting to deny them their choice, why not be thankful for them and pray that one of them is nearby if, God forbid, the day ever comes that you need them.

I’m quickly coming to the conclusion that I should just become a shut-in. The behavior of ordinary people is changing in ways that are likely to send me to prison for battery. I don’t know when it happened exactly, but at some point in the last few years, everyone in America under the age of 25 turned into a fucking zombie. I see them everywhere I go, the grocery store, restaurants, retail stores, driving in the car. They stare blankly at a small screen and type furiously with one hand as they make a half-assed attempt to negotiate the world around them. Like an army of retarded techno-savants they masterfully type 40 words per minute with their left thumb while completely fucking up the simplest of tasks, like walking and standing in public.

I should say that I am not one of those Luddites who believe that cell phones are evil. In fact, I think they should be standard equipment for any teenager that is allowed to leave the house by themselves. That’s probably an opinion that many will disagree with, but it’s a topic for another time.

The impetus for this particular post was an incident that occurred yesterday while I was out running a few simple errands. The kind of tasks that shouldn’t require a three hundred percent rise in blood pressure. At some point along my journey I became thirsty and decided to stop by the nearest convenience store for a drink. As I walked into the store and past the counter there was a line of about five people waiting to check out. This was the middle of the day so I can only assume that a line that long has something to do with lottery tickets and cigarettes. This particular store has only three aisles leading back to the refrigerated case stocked with liquid refreshment, so my options for navigating to the back of the store were limited. The closest aisle was blocked by the line of people waiting to check out, and the far aisle was blocked by an employee stocking the shelves with a half-dozen or so boxes strewn all over the floor. At this point, the middle aisle is my only option. The problem is that three teenagers, probably about seventeen or eighteen, were standing in the smack-dab center of the middle aisle. All three, one guy and two girls, were standing in the aisle with heads hung low typing furiously on their mobile devices. They paid no attention whatsoever to the merchandise on the shelves around them, indeed they seemed to have already selected their purchases. They simply stood there like zombies texting away. This is a pretty normal issue in public spaces in the modern age, so I thought nothing of heading down the aisle to politely excuse myself past the three truants and be on my way.

In virtually any civilization throughout human history, the act of navigating past others in a public area is not generally a complicated one. It involves, at most, the exchange of a few pleasantries and a polite request for pardon as you make your way through. This particular case was, of course, very different. I made my way down the aisle until I came to the first teenage-mutant-ninja texter and politely said “pardon me.” The girl glanced up briefly with a slightly annoyed look and silently moved a couple of steps to one side to let me through. The second girl was at least paying enough attention to her surroundings to notice my presence and join her friend to one side. Then I came to the third little bastard and, since he had not even looked up yet and remained in my way, said “pardon me” yet again. What happened next exceeded my already low expectations of modern teenage behavior. The shithead, without looking up from his phone, said “yea man, just a sec.” I shit you not, you could have knocked me over with a whisper. It took him about five more seconds to finish his text message, during which time I tried my best to remember exactly how long the minimum sentence for battery of a minor is in the State of Texas. By the time I had decided that whatever the sentence, it was worth it, the little turd shuffled off to one side and began another frantic message.

My mind was racing the entire way to the cooler and back to the checkout counter. After I paid for my drink, I turned around and the three teenage speedbumps were still standing in the aisle texting their little thumbs off. Thirty years ago, especially in Texas, this same scenario would have ended with the little shit being dragged out of the way by his ear and subjected to a thorough lecture on public courtesy. Today, the same thing would get you sent to prison, and the kid would be interviewed by the local news weasels with his mother crying about how horrible the experience was for the little choir boy.

The bottom line is that the tide has turned, and those of us who value politeness and consideration for others are, by far, the minority. I was taught by my parents at a very early age that other people were not paying for the privilege of hearing my conversation in a restaurant. Go to any eatery today, and the chance of you being seated next to some loud-mouthed ass who insists on subjecting you to his constant stream of bullshit approaches one. Try driving on a freeway in any major metropolitan area in this country without being cut off, tailgated, or nearly run off the road. You can’t, because the assholes have been given the protection of law and any decent person who stands up for themselves is likely to have the police called on them. In this climate, if I make it to forty without being arrested for assault it will be a miracle.

And while we’re on the subject of assholes and freeways, in the state of Texas, “Yield” is not a fucking suggestion. It is not my job to exit a freeway and come to a complete goddamn stop before changing lanes. If you don’t like having to stop for other traffic, buy the fucking tolltag like the rest of us. Now I need a drink of a different sort.
