Show your true colors

My good friend
  • Laurence Simon
  • made is opinion known on Operation Iron Fist, and now I am making mine known.

    Unles some of you don't know, I'm in the Army Reserve. There's a certain pride that comes with being in the service. Pride in your unit, pride in your battle buddies, pride in your branch of service (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard), and pride in your country. These subhuman pieces of dirt show nothing but shame an cowardice when they have these masks on. Soldiers are supposed to show pride in the above and courage in the face of danger. These guys don't.

    A Song for You

    How's everybody's day been going? Hope everyone had a good weekend.

    Here's one of my favorite songs of the new U2 album, How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

    "Miracle Drug"

    I want to trip inside your head
    Spend the day there
    To hear the things you haven’t said
    And see what you might see

    I want to hear you when you call
    Do you feel anything at all
    I want to see your thoughts take shape
    And walk right out

    Freedom has a scent
    Like the top of a new born baby’s head

    The songs are in your eyes
    I see them when you smile
    I’ve seen enough, I’m not giving up
    On a miracle drug

    Of science and the human heart
    There is no limit
    There is no failure here sweetheart
    Just when you quit

    I am you and you are mine
    Love makes nonsense of space
    And time will disappear
    Love and logic keep us clear
    Reason is on our side, love

    The songs are in your eyes
    I see them when you smile
    I’ve had enough of romantic love
    I’d give it up, yeah, I’d give it up
    For a miracle drug, a miracle drug
    A miracle drug

    Oh God, I need your help tonight

    Beneath the noise
    Below the din
    I hear a voice
    It’s whispering
    In science and in medicine
    I was a stranger
    You took me in

    The songs are in your eyes
    I see them when you smile
    I’ve had enough of romantic love
    I’d give it up, yeah, I’d give it up
    For a miracle drug, for a miracle drug

    Miracle, miracle drug

    Here's what's up...

    All right it's been about five years since I posted (not quite, but close), so I am going to update you on what's been going on...

    I got a C on that blasted paper on The Shawnee Prophet and got an A n a more recent history test.

    I am looking for a new job since my boss seems to think that I'm a 90-pound weakling that is only good for toting smalls and working the rerun belt.

    I finally decided on the subject taht I'm going to teach- HISTORY!!!

    Terry Shiavo passed away after being starved to death. Her body was cremated and her ashes were buried in Philly.

    Pope John Paul II died. His successor is Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, who's papal name is Pope Benedict XVI.

    The Cubs are 8-8, and Nomar Garciaparra is out with a pulled groin muscle. I'll update you on when he'll be back.

    The Master Has Sold Out

    It looks as though Frank J. is going on hiatus from blogging. He sold the URL to a Korean company, and I guess they gave him a very good deal for it.

  • Sarah K
  • has the details.

    In other news, Terri Shiavo has passed away, after 13 days of being without food and water. She was 41. Her body is going to be cremated and buried in Philadelphia. However, her "husband" did grant an autopsy to be done. Maybe we will now see how badly he abused her.

    Update: APRIL FOOLS!!!! He didn't sell out after all.

    Monday, March 28, 2005

    It happened

    I knew it was going to happen!!!!
  • Frank J
  • proposed to Sarah K and she said yes!!!! A date hasn't been set yet, as it just happened two days ago. God bless and good luck to the happy couple.

    I hope everyone had a happy Easter. It was kind of weird this year as We didn't get up long before dawn to go to church for sunrise service and have Easter breakfast like we did at Gloria Dei. Oh, did I mention that while I was gone, Gloria Dei imploded? Yeah, while i was in basic training, there was a falling out among a lot of the members involving my friend Victoria's wedding due to the fact that it was perfomed at a different church by a different pastor (big no-no) and that Victoria told our pastor that she would go wherever her husband did (another big no-no). I didn't find out all the details, however, until my aprents came down to South Carolina for my graduation. As a result of all this, my parents were among the many who made the exodus from Gloria Dei to the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer (a small congregation that my parents and I belonged to at one time and that my pastor, who resigned from Gloria Dei, is a vaccancy pastor at). We had church at ten and that was it pretty much. Really weird.

    Sorry I'm so behind....

    Hey, I've been busy for the last month or so. I have school, work, drill (moments of sheer boredom accentuated by more moments of sheer boredom), and other concerns. I have a paper on The Shawnee Prophet to work on for my history class, been suffering from a crush from hell on same professor, and a project for psychology among other things.
    On March 19, the Chicago chapter of Protest Warrior will be hitting the streets of Chicago to show moonbats how wrong they are. We will also be welcoming radio talk show host Michael Medved (known to me and the Twerp as simply "The Medved" *bows*). He will be making an appearence at a local college to sign copies of his book , Right Turns, among other things. So yeah, I'm gonna be busy for a while.

    You guys have to check this out

    I got this in an e-mail from Right March. It's a video from a band called The Right Brothers. It is absolutely wonderful.

  • I Want to Live


  • I'm thinking of buying this CD, if only I had the money, but things are a little tight right now as I have just gotten a new car.

    I'm back for good this time

    Well, guess what? I'm back-for good now. I graduated from Advanced Individual Training (AIT) on January 21st and arrived back in Chicago that day. I attended my first drill Feb 05 and 06th at Parkhurst Reserve Center in Darien,Illinois. All we did was give classes and got shown around the place. The most exciting thing that happened to me that weekend was that I fell asleep at the wheel on my way home from drill Saturday night (I'm okay, I swear to God). I start classes on February 14th, and I went back to work at UPS.

    Now on to some news. This Ward Churchill guy is starting to piss me off. First he says that the people who died in the WTC, Pentagon,and Shanksville,Pennsylvania are not "innocent" and that we need more 9-11's, then he continually lies about being an Indian (YOU'RE NOT AN INDIAN, GET OVER IT!!!), thenhe says that he wants America off the planet!!!

    You know what? THis guy is just asking for me to demonstrate some unarmed combatives on him. Not only for that, but also for desecrating the name of one of the best statesman the world has ever known- the late British Prime Minister Winston Churchill.

    I"ve Returned (briefly)

    Hey, remember me? I'm back, for a while (on leave for Christmas). I arrived in O'Hare International Airport in Chicago on Monday morning. I've just enjoyed the past few days with my family (mom, dad, sister, and the best of all MY GRANDPA!!!!). I am also reveling at home about the re-election of George Walker Bush, the gaining of four more seats in the Senate and four more in the House of Reps, the fact that Tom Daschle is gone (na na na na na, na na na na na, hey hey hey, good-bye), and enjoying the new U2 album (listening to it right now). Anyway, a Merry Christmas to everyone and a Happy New Year as well (or Hanukkah, Kwanza, or whatever you all celebrate). I will be back after January 21st, which is when I'm supposed to graduate AIT.

    Okay, not quite...

    I just found something on Barking Moonbat that John O'Neill, author of the book Unfit for Command, has told John Kerry and his people to put up or shut up. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=40096

    If you ask me, it's high time that the Bush campaign stands up for these guys. I'm not saying they're doing his "dirty work"; they're not. I'm merely saying that these fine men could be instrumental in getting him elected, as well as the former POWs who are now speaking out against him, as well as the Catholics against Kerry.

    Another bit of good news about this is that it is number one on the New York Times best-seller's list (it debuted at number three last week, surrounding Klintoon's book with the help of General Tommy Franks(ret.))

    Just a Post Before I Go...

    Apologies to Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young for the above title. Anyway, I'm going to be leaving in about an hour for the recruiter's station, from which they will take to a hotel near O'Hare International Airport. I will be reporting to MEPS (Military Entrance Processing Station) very early the next morning, where they will be doing a quick once-over just to make sure I'm still okay, and then I will be off to Fort Jackson, South Carolina, where I will be in Basic Combat Training for the next nine weeks. After graduation (if I make it that far), I will be going through AIT (Advanced Individual Training), after which I will finally be a soldier in the United States Army Reserve.

    I am not going to be able to post here for a long while, so until I come back, behave, and, in the words of Gen. Douglas McArthur, "I shall return".

    Time to set the record straight

    I got a link from my friend Barb to
  • Sworn Enemy
  • . On there is a link to an aviation web site that sets the record straight about Junior's (Dubya's getting way too redundant for me) time in the Texas and Alabama Air National Guard.

    All I have to say about this is if you think anything other than "he didn't take the easy way oyut after all", then you are a bigger goober (thanks Frank J.) than the Poodle.

    Tuesday, August 10, 2004

    I've been recognized by the Master!!!

    I submitted something to be posted under Our Military on
  • IMAO
  • , and he put it up!!!

    Also, in case you haven't noticed, I've gone from Insignificant Microbe to Crawly Amphibian in the Ecosystem since signing up with Truth Laid Bear!!! I'm moving up in the blogging world!!!

    Another thing I wanted to tell you about is that my friend Barb got me an early birthday present (I'm going to be in BCT over my birthday), and i absolutely love it!!! It's a teddy bear from the Build A Bear Workshop. Her name is Maggie (after former British PM Margaret Thatcher), she has tie-dye fur, wears Army fatigues and Converse sneakers, and holds an American flag. I'll put up a picture of the beautiful Maggie when the film is developed (if it is the case before I leave).

    Yippee!!! The original Annoying Twerp Has a Blog!

    My best friend Barb (a.k.a Mako on Protest Warrior, a.k.a Annoying Little Twerp on Barking Moonbat Early Warning System) has a
  • blog
  • of her own now. Go there, and enjoy.

    In other news, I went to my first Cubs game today (I've been to three White Sox games, a Cook County Cheetahs game (indy-league) and a Joliet Jackhammers game), and they WON, 6-3. Greg Maddux was going for his 300th, but he didn't get it :-( But I enjoyed it despite that and the CTA's Orange Line got fucked up (I'll explain later) and we didn't get to the game till the third inning :-*(

    This is Just Insane

    I got the following from the Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiller, who got it from Swiftboat Veterans for Truth.  Apparently, the people who the Poodle worked with while in the Navy didn't like him all that much, and from what they said, he is unfit to be Commander-in-Chief (tell me something I don't know).

    These quotes below are from men who served with Kerry in Vietnam, and who knew him best. If his own buddies despise him, how can any right-thinking American vote for this man for president?
    Swift Boat Quotes about John Kerry
    "We resent very deeply the false war crimes charges he made coming back from Vietnam in 1971 and repeated in the book "Tour of Duty." We think those cast an aspersion on all those living and dead, from our unit and other units in Vietnam. We think that he knew he was lying when he made the charges, and we think that they're unsupportable. We intend to bring the truth about that to the American people.
    We believe, based on our experience with him, that he is totally unfit to be the Commander-in-Chief."
    -- John O'Neill, spokesman, Swift Boat Veterans for Truth __________________________________________________________
    "I do not believe John Kerry is fit to be Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces of the United States. This is not a political issue. It is a matter of his judgment, truthfulness, reliability, loyalty and trust -- all absolute tenets of command. His biography, 'Tour of Duty,' by Douglas Brinkley, is replete with gross exaggerations, distortions of fact, contradictions and slanderous lies. His contempt for the military and authority is evident by even a most casual review of this biography. He arrived in-country with a strong anti-Vietnam War bias and a self-serving determination to build a foundation for his political future. He was aggressive, but vain and prone to impulsive judgment, often with disregard for specific tactical assignments. He was a 'loose cannon.' In an abbreviated tour of four months and 12 days, and with his specious medals secure, Lt.(jg) Kerry bugged out and began his infamous betrayal of all United States forces in the Vietnam War. That included our soldiers, our marines, our sailors, our coast guardsmen, our airmen, and our POWs. His leadership within the so-called Vietnam Veterans Against the War and testimony before Congress in 1971 charging us with unspeakable atrocities remain an undocumented but nevertheless meticulous stain on the men and women who honorably stayed the course. Senator Kerry is not fit for command."
    -- Rear Admiral Roy Hoffman, USN (retired), chairman, Swift Boat Veterans for Truth __________________________________________________________
    "During Lt.(jg) Kerry's tour, he was under my command for two or three specific operations, before his rapid exit. Trust, loyalty and judgment are the key, operative words. His turncoat performance in 1971 in his grubby shirt and his medal-tossing escapade, coupled with his slanderous lines in the recent book portraying us that served, including all POWs and MIAs, as murderous war criminals, I believe, will have a lasting effect on all military veterans and their families.
    Kerry would be described as devious, self-absorbing, manipulative, disdain for authority, disruptive, but the most common phrase that you'd hear is 'requires constant supervision.'"
    -- Captain Charles Plumly, USN (retired) __________________________________________________________
    "Thirty-five years ago, many of us fell silent when we came back to the stain of sewage that Mr. Kerry had thrown on us, and all of our colleagues who served over there. I don't intend to be silent today or ever again. Our young men and women who are serving deserve no less."
    -- Andrew Horne __________________________________________________________

    "In my specific, personal experience in both coastal and river patrols over a 12-month period, I never once saw or heard anything remotely resembling the atrocities described by Senator Kerry. If I had, it would have been my obligation to report them in writing to a higher authority, and I would certainly have done that. If Senator Kerry actually witnessed or participated in these atrocities or, as he described them, 'war crimes,' he was obligated to report them. That he did not until later when it suited his political purposes strikes me as opportunism of the worst kind. That he would malign my service and that of his fellow sailors with no regard for the truth makes him totally unqualified to serve as Commander-in-Chief."
    -- Jeffrey Wainscott __________________________________________________________
    "I signed that letter because I, too felt a deep sense of betrayal that someone who took the same oath of loyalty as I did as an officer in the United States Navy would abandon his group here (points to group photo) to join this group here (points to VVAW protest photo), and come home and attempt to rally the American public against the effort that this group was so valiantly pursuing.
    It is a fact that in the entire Vietnam War we did not lose one major battle. We lost the war at home ... and at home, John Kerry was the Field General."
    -- Robert Elder __________________________________________________________
    "My daughters and my wife have read portions of the book 'Tour of Duty.' They wanted to know if I took part in the atrocities described. I do not believe the things that are described happened.
    Let me give you an example. In Brinkley's book, on pages 170 to 171, about something called the 'Bo De massacre' on November 24th of 1968... In Kerry's description of the engagement, first he claimed there were 17 servicemen that were wounded. Three of us were wounded. I was the first..."
    -- Joseph Ponder __________________________________________________________
    "While in Cam Rahn Bay, he trained on several 24-hour indoctrination missions, and one special skimmer operation with my most senior and trusted Lieutenant. The briefing from some members of that crew the morning after revealed that they had not received any enemy fire, and yet Lt.(jg) Kerry informed me of a wound -- he showed me a scratch on his arm and a piece of shrapnel in his hand that appeared to be from one of our own M-79s. It was later reported to me that Lt.(jg) Kerry had fired an M-79, and it had exploded off the adjacent shoreline. I do not recall being advised of any medical treatment, and probably said something like 'Forget it.' He later received a Purple Heart for that scratch, and I have no information as to how or whom.
    Lt.(jg) Kerry was allowed to return to the good old USA after 4 months and a few days in-country, and then he proceeded to betray his former shipmates, calling them criminals who were committing atrocities. Today we are here to tell you that just the opposite is true. Our rules of engagement were quite strict, and the officers and men of Swift often did not even return fire when they were under fire if there was a possibility that innocent people -- fishermen, in a lot of cases -- might be hurt or injured. The rules and the good intentions of the men increased the possibility that we might take friendly casualties."
    -- Commander Grant Hibbard, USN (retired) __________________________________________________________
    "Lt. Kerry returned home from the war to make some outrageous statements and allegations... of numerous criminal acts in violation of the law of war were cited by Kerry, disparaging those who had fought with honor in that conflict. Had war crimes been committed by US forces in Vietnam? Yes, but such acts were few and far between. Yet Lt. Kerry have numerous speeches and testimony before Congress inappropriately leading his audiences to believe that what was only an anomaly in the conduct of America's fighting men was an epidemic. Furthermore, he suggested that they were being encouraged to violated the law of war by those within the chain of command.
    Very specific orders, on file at the Vietnam archives at Texas Tech University, were issued by my father [Admiral Elmo Zumwalt] and others in his chain of command instructing subordinates to act responsibly in preserving the life and property of Vietnamese civilians."
    -- Lt. Col. James Zumwalt, USMC (retired) __________________________________________________________
    "We look at Vietnam... after all these years it is still languishing in isolated poverty and helplessness and tyranny. This is John Kerry's legacy. I deeply resent John Kerry's using his Swift boat experience, and his betrayal of those who fought there as a stepping-stone to his political ambitions."
    -- Barnard Wolff __________________________________________________________
    "In a whole year that I spent patrolling, I didn't see anything like a war crime, an atrocity, anything like that. Time and again I saw American fighting men put themselves in graver danger trying to avoid... collateral damage.
    When John Kerry returned to the country, he was sworn in front of Congress. And then he told my family -- my parents, my sister, my brother, my neighbors -- he told everyone I knew and everyone I'd ever know that I and my comrades had committed unspeakable atrocities."
    -- David Wallace __________________________________________________________
    "I served with these guys. I went on missions with them, and these men served honorably. Up and down the chain of command there was no acquiescence to atrocities. It was not condoned, it did not happen, and it was not reported to me verbally or in writing by any of these men including Lt.(jg) Kerry.
    In 1971, '72, for almost 18 months, he stood before the television audiences and claimed that the 500,000 men and women in Vietnam, and in combat, were all villains -- there were no heroes. In 2004, one hero from the Vietnam War has appeared, running for President of the United States and Commander-in-Chief. It just galls one to think about it."
    -- Captain George Elliott, USN (retired) __________________________________________________________
    "During the Vietnam War I was Task Force Commander at An Thoi, and my tour of duty was 13 months, from the end of Tet to the beginning of the Vietnamization of the Navy units.
    Now when I went there right after Tet, I was restricted in my movements. I couldn't go much of anyplace because the Vietcong controlled most of the area. When I left, I could go anywhere I wanted, just about. Commerce was booming, the buses were running, trucks were going, the waterways were filled with sampans with goods going to market, but yet in Kerry's biography he says that our operations were a complete failure. He also mentions a formal conference with me, to try to get more air cover and so on. That conference never happened..."
    -- Captain Adrian Lonsdale, USCG (retired) __________________________________________________________
    "I was in An Thoi from June of '68 to June of '69, covering the whole period that John Kerry was there. I operated in every river, in every canal, and every off-shore patrol area in the 4th Corps area, from Cambodia all the way around to the Bo De River. I never saw, even heard of all of these so-called atrocities and things that we were supposed to have done.
    This is not true. We're not standing for it. We want to set the record straight."
    -- William Shumadine __________________________________________________________
    "In 1971, when John Kerry spoke out to America, labeling all Vietnam veterans as thugs and murderers, I was shocked and almost brought to my knees, because even though I had served at the same time and same unit, I had never witnessed or participated in any of the events that the Senator had accused us of. I strongly believe that the statements made by the Senator were not only false and inaccurate, but extremely harmful to the United States' efforts in Southeast Asia and the rest of the world. Tragically, some veterans, scorned by the antiwar movement and their allies, retreated to a life of despair and suicide. Two of my crewmates were among them. For that there is no forgiveness. "
    -- Richard O'Meara __________________________________________________________
    "My name is Steve Gardner. I served in 1966 and 1967 on my first tour of duty in Vietnam on Swift boats, and I did my second tour in '68 and '69, involved with John Kerry in the last 2 1/2 months of my tour. The John Kerry that I know is not the John Kerry that everybody else is portraying. I served alongside him and behind him, five feet away from him in a gun tub, and watched as he made indecisive moves with our boat, put our boats in jeopardy, put our crews in jeopardy... if a man like that can't handle that 6-man crew boat, how can you expect him to be our Commander-in-Chief?"
    -- Steven Gardner __________________________________________________________
    "I served in Vietnam as a boat officer from June of 1968 to July of 1969. My service was three months in Coastal Division 13 out of Cat Lo, and nine months with Coastal Division 11 based in An Thoi. John Kerry was in An Thoi the same time I was. I'm here today to express the anger I have harbored for over 33 years, about being accused with my fellow shipmates of war atrocities.
    All I can say is when I leave here today, I'm going down to the Wall to tell my two crew members it's not true, and that they and the other 49 Swiftees who are on the Wall were then and are still now the best."
    -- Robert Brant __________________________________________________________
    "I never saw, heard of, or participated in any Swift boat crews killing cattle, poisoning crops, or raping and killing civilians as charged by John Kerry, both in his book and in public statements. Since we both operated at the same time, in the same general area, and on the same missions under the same commanders, it is hard to believe his claims of atrocities and poor planning of Sea Lord missions.
    I signed this letter because I feel that he used Swift boat sailors to proclaim his antiwar statements after the war, and now he uses the same Swift boat sailors to support his claims of being a war hero. He cannot have it both ways, and we are here to ask for full disclosure of the proof of his claims

    Surprise, surprise

    I have wanted to say something about this for a while, but now I'm going to it.

    It looks as though Sandy Berger got caught sticking a few things where they don't belong. The "few things" being classified documents, and "where they don't belong means stuck in his shirt, socks, and worst of all, DOWN HIS PANTS!!!!! ICK!!!!!!

    For this, he got awarded Barking Moonbat of the Week by
  • Vilmar
  • (Allan's gone for now, but don't worry, he'll be back).

    You know, this is exactly the sort of thing I've come to expect from the press. If Condi Rice did something like this, they would be screaming for her head on a platter. However, since this is a Klintoonista (thanks, Misha), you don't hear a damn thing. Anyone? Bueller? I hope they throw his ass into jail. Goddamn.

    What A BITCH!!!!

    ...and I don't use that term lightly, either.
  • Allah
  • tells us of the most selfish person ever, Amy Richards, who had selective infanticide because she didn't want to give up her job, even though her OB/GYN assured her that her pregnancy was low risk.

    It's people like her that makes me grateful for my parents. Heck, my dad had to have an operation just to have me (he was 38 by the time he and my mom got married, and 41 by the time I was born) and my sister.

    I think she and her husband should be sterilised if they are this selfish and have such a low regard for human life. We certainly don't need them procreating if this is the case.

    Monday, July 19, 2004

    That's It!!!

    I knew people like this were retards from the word go that were in cahoots with the Dummycraps, and now all doubt has been removed. I got the scoop from
  • Allan
  • about darlings like these trying to disrupt things in New York this August.

    That's real nice. If you can't win because your guy's the right man for the job, disrupt the other side. How immature is that. I hope every single one of these motherfuckers get arrested for holding up traffic.

    That Does It

    I received word from
  • Emperor Misha
  • that the World Court in the Hack found the wall separating our ally Israel from her enemies "illegal". Theres also a link to E-mail them to tell you exactly what you tink about it.

    To be honest with you, I think they should add to it, like Misha suggested.

    For the Love of God...

    Will those two keep their hands to themselves? My God!!!

  • EEEWWW


  • I'm glad our current President and VP aren't like that. FI they were, I would be blowing chunks all over the place all the bloody time.
