What is it with the Army Quartermaster Corps. First, Jessica Lynch was awarded a medal after he superior got lost, crashed, and she was captured, and rescued.

Now, it is a group of cowardly idiots who decided on the knowledge available to them that their route was too dangerous, the vehicles were not mechanically sound, and the fuel they were carrying was " Contaminated". That is, it had a little other fuel gasoline, or diesel mixed in.

These self-absorbed, self-important jerks never thought: What about who was getting the rest of the load? They were carrying WATER to Marines outside of Fallujah. It is still 90+ degrees in the daytime.

Oh, and yeah--I guess they would have to go without their MP3's.
They had as part of the load THREE SEMI TRAILERS of mail for the Marines.

These people should be led out and shot! They Volunteered for the Army. They got an assignment. When your are in the military and law enforcement, YOU DO NOT GET TO DEBATE THE ORDER. You may express and file a dissenting sentiment, but you complete the Mission.

Kerry' latest tongue footprint

2004-10-16T08:48:00.000-07:00

Kerry was asked a simple question in the debate: Are Gay people born that way, or is it their choice?

As an attorney ( He said" I know something about enforcing the law. I was a prosecutor"), he should know that you keep your answer as short and as simple as possible. Bush beat him hands down here, saying " I do not know". I really think the final verdict on the inception of a gay preference begins.
But, Kerry had display his ignorance and disrespect someone. His target was Mary Cheney.

On September 30, 2001, I was retired from the California Highway Patrol by a rule that tyou must retire at age 60.
I have kept in contact with my former fellow officers.
When Jerry Brown was Governor, he pushed through a measure making it a punishable offense to "discriminate" against Gays. The old view in law enforcement did not tolerate Gays. Now, there are several Gays in law enforcement, and like any other group, 99 percent are doing a great job, are valued employees, and have close friends with most other members of the force, both Gay and Straight.

However, we have that old bugaboo, Sexual Discrimination and Sexual Harrassment. It applies to gays too.

Right now, there is one Gay man who is suing another for sexual harassment. It appears that they had a " thing" going, then had a falling out. Upon the break up, the one was widely known to be Gay ( he had sued the State, alleging that some of the old timers made his life miserable when they discovered he was Gay) put photos of them on the email system, effectively "outing" the other Gay guy.

The "outed" Gay is suing and WILL collect.

Kerry stepped on his tongue in a hateful fashion.

The Bigger Threat

2004-10-10T06:48:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, the writing stated that I had encountered someone who should be thoroughly for Bush, as their religion makes them a target for Islamo-Fascists.
Her declaration to me is that George Bush is the bigger threat.
This article explains that logic:

Why the World Hates George W. BushThe Secular Drive to Marginalize Faith
By Allan Dobras
October 4, 2004
“For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. To the one [the perishing] we are the smell of death; to the other [God], the fragrance of life.” St. Paul’s second letter to the Corinthians (II Cor. 3:6)
The scorn and vitriol heaped upon President Bush by his detractors during the three years plus of his presidency go far beyond political disagreements over how to best answer the pressing needs of the nation. There is little doubt that the president elicits a genuine and personal hatred from his critics, not only in this country but abroad as well. The question is, why?
In a strange dichotomy, President Bush is arguably one of the most decent men to have ever occupied the White House. He rarely has an unkind word to say about his critics even when they go after him with swords drawn. Insiders in the White House have nothing but good things to say about him and he comes from a respected, religious family that has endured decades of public life with nary a hint of scandal.
President Bush lifted himself up from an impetuous youth to the highest office in the land in no small part due to the mentoring of evangelist Billy Graham—one of the most admired men in the world—and his personal faith is a cornerstone in his life. This story alone should be the source of great praise and admiration, not derision. So why then is there so much hatred for George Bush?
Although some may say the hatred stems from the controversy over the Florida vote during the 2000 election, the reality is that the final analysis of the vote shows that George Bush won the election under any conceivable recount circumstance. Actually, the Gore campaign can be more faulted for its attempt to manipulate the Florida vote by insisting on a recount limited to three heavily Democrat counties.
Whether it is opposition toward some domestic political issue, his handling of the war on terror, or the war in Iraq, none can rationally account for the intensity of personal hatred leveled at President Bush as he seeks reelection. The answer to the “why,” is really part of an issue that simmers just below the surface but nonetheless evokes a level of hatred—and fear—that can only be understood in the context of the conflict between enduring truth and spiritless relativism. That is, a clash between two mutually exclusive worldviews—one driven by religious faith and the other driven by secular humanism.
Former Clinton labor secretary, Robert Reich, put this clash of worldviews in clear perspective in his July 1, 2004article entitled “Bush’s God,” which was published in The American Prospect. The article complains about a Bush campaign strategy that is designed to reach out to persons of faith. Mr. Reich says in part:
In its eagerness to promote the teaching of creationism in public schools, encourage school prayer, support anti-sodomy statutes, ban abortions, bar gay marriage, limit the use of stem cells, reduce access to contraceptives, and advance the idea of America as a "Christian nation," the Bush administration has done more to politicize religion than any administration in recent American history…
The great conflict of the 21st century may be between the West and terrorism. But terrorism is a tactic, not a belief. The underlying battle will be between modern civilization and anti-modernist fanatics; between those who believe in the primacy of the individual and those who believe that human beings owe blind allegiance to a higher authority; between those who give priority to life in this world and those who believe that human life is no more than preparation for an existence beyond life; between those who believe that truth is revealed solely through scripture and religious dogma, and those who rely primarily on science, reason, and logic. Terrorism will disrupt and destroy lives. But terrorism is not the only danger we face.
In essence, Mr. Reich is saying that “Bush’s God” is more of a threat to modern civilization than fanatical terrorism. His description of the issues at risk because of the president’s faith—sodomy, abortion, gay marriage, embryonic stem cell research, and contraceptives—reveals that little imagination is needed to see that sexual liberation is at the heart of the clash between the opposing worldviews.
With sexual liberation as the goal, there is no doubt that homosexual affirmation is the instrument being used to undermine the values associated with “Bush’s God.” Hedonistic secularists realize that the legitimization of homosexuality—particularly legalization of gay marriage—is a dagger into the heart of the Christian faith and the institutions that shelter its values.
President Bush’s adherence to the principles of his faith represents a formidable obstacle to victory. That is the reason why he is at once hated and also feared, for as St. Paul said, the believer has “the aroma of death,” to the perishing. Therefore, his removal from the presidency must be accomplished at all costs. To accomplish this goal, the president’s detractors have mounted a fierce, personal attack on him through dozens of recently published books, several movies, numerous commentaries, and by a heavily imbalanced popular media.
Additionally, Mr. Reich suggests that the president is an “anti-modernist fanatic” and his religious views place him far out of the mainstream, but recent Gallup polls show the opposite: 68 percent of Americans favor teaching both creationism and evolution in the public schools; 78% of the American people favor a constitutional amendment to allow voluntary prayer in public schools; 68 % of the American people agree that partial-birth abortion should be banned; thirty-nine states have so far passed defense of marriage acts prohibiting gay marriage; and since the June 2003 decision by the Supreme Court that declared the Texas sodomy law unconstitutional, opposition to legalization of same-sex relations has increased to 49% compared to 43% who favor legalization.
One may debate Reich’s view that America should not be regarded as a “Christian nation,” but it should be pointed out that over 80 percent of the American people identify themselves as Christian; most of the founding fathers of our republic considered themselves Christians; and Christian-Judean values had a tremendous influence in the nation’s founding documents, laws, and rules of government. Although it is clear that the founding fathers avoided the establishment of a religious theocracy, it is equally clear there was no intent to insulate government from religious influence—and therein lies the rub.
Quite clearly, it has been the strategy of hedonic secularists to use homosexuality as a spearhead in its drive to marginalize the faith and infuse sexual freedom. To great extent, they have successfully invaded almost every institution in America with a message of acceptance toward sodomy as a lifestyle preference. Much of industry, government, media, and academia celebrate “gay pride,” require “gay” sensitivity training, offer domestic partner benefits, and prohibit contrary points of view.
It is readily apparent how important the infusion of unmitigated sexual “freedom” into the church and the culture is to the secularists, and why they are working so hard to defeat President Bush. A leader who believes in the existence of absolute truth, a president who seeks to apply his faith to his life, is a threat to a post-modern secularist in principle. In an age when the most grievous of sins is to interject your religious beliefs into the public debate, those in leadership positions who profess to know Truth set themselves up for fierce opposition.

Another Reason to vote Kerry.

2004-10-09T16:48:00.000-07:00

A person I know is Jewish. She is a long distance runner, and we once did long runs together.
She was a complete flaming Liberal under Clinton's reign.

It became apparent to her that the only one who tried to stick up for Israel against Islamo-Fascists is G W Bush. All her fellow Libs could not care less if Israel is decimated or "driven into the Sea" as the Palestine Liberation Front's Manifest declares.

Islamo-Fascists are today's Nazi s. See
Islam’s Nazi Connections,http://www.frontpagemag.com/articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=4934

So it totally stunned me to hear this person declare that BUSH was a danger!
How so?

He is AGAINST Same Sex Marraige, Abortion, and he is an EVANGELICAL CHRISTIAN.
Soon, he will be forcing us all to Protestant Christianity!

My friend forgets that the Islamo-Fascists have a list of priority targets:
#1--JEWS

# 2. Those with Decadent Lifestyles-which result in Abortion.

#3. GAYS. Declaring one's self a Gay in an Islamic Theocracy carries a DEATH SENTENCE.

John Kerry would "RESPOND" to any attack. He has declared himself against "pre-emptive strikes". If I were Jewish, he would not my choice to defend me.

Debate?

2004-10-01T19:53:00.000-07:00

I missed " the Debate". But, I knew folks like Laura Ingraham, Rush, and Michael Savage would give an uncolored report.
It really wasn't a Debate. The people firmly behind Kerry are still there. This from listening to some major idiots who called Talk Shows, babbling the Mantras of " Kerry's got a plan for Iraq" ( NO-He doesn't- All he's ever proposed is to do like he did in Vietnam: Haul ass, and leave our military holding the bag.)

Damned if you do, Damned if you don't

We are faced with a situation as regards to horses. The previous scare was the West Nile Virus.This is a form of encephalitis, and is fatal to about 50% of horses. You can inoculate against it. It is carried by mosquitos, like malaria. Mosquitos are where it is wet, or there is standing water.
But now, it has been dry for so long. Most mosquitos do not have a chance. The dryness though releases what is known as " Dryland Distemper". It i carried by flies, and exists in soil. The flies carry it, and if the horse has a scratch, they will become infected. They will then be sluggish, fatigued, and have pus pockets that break open.
This is similar to the fire situation. Firemen have job security. If it doesn't rain, they say things are so dry that we are indanger of wildfires.
If it rains a lot, they say that due to the grass and brush that grew from the rains, we are in danger of fire.
Which reminds one of the ignition source of some wildland fires: LIghtning. It is somewhat silly for weather forecasters to warn of " Dangerous Lightning". Is there any other kind?

Perception of Bush haters.

2004-09-26T11:50:00.000-07:00

From experience and reading, the people who hate George W. Bush have different reasons to do so. In reality, if they were able to sanely have a discussion with him, it is doubtful that about half of them could cling to their hatred. The haters fall into these types:

College Students:
These people have never had a brush with reality. They went to grade school and high school from home. The teachers in High School are just a time-developed version of High Schoolers. They infect students with a belief that Socialism and a lack of standards and responsibility are the channel to Utopia. Bush asks that people who work hard be rewarded. Socialism says that if you sit on your ass, think good thoughts, and wait--it will come to you. If it doesn't it was stolen by some greedy, evil entrepreneur.

True Believers:These people grew up indocrinated with Socialism, as did the last Class, but went into fields where being a " do-gooder" counts for them. In this group, we have the Social Workers, the shelter operators, and the psychologists. They have heard that Bush wants to phase out people whosiphon off our resources in favor of those who produce. Think about a minute. If their Clients were suddenly gainfully employed, they would have to get a real job.

Those who benefit monetarily from " Victims". Here we have your Race Pimps and your trial lawyers. For these to succeed, you must have a "victim" and the idea that the rest of us owe them something for their alleged "pain and suffering". Most people are stupid and greedy enough to not want to have these people become extinct. They are like the ignorant folks who drive up narrow highways to get to casinos, believing that this might be their "lucky Day". They do not want personal injury lawsuits to be limited, because their chance at a huge reward would go with that.
The Trial Lawyers, of which John Edwards is a member, does not want their income to be limited. They want to be able to extort from corporations and insurance companies.
