Al-Qaeda Seven Ain't John Adams

John Adams, American Founder and talented lawyer, represented the British soldiers prosecuted for the “Boston Massacre”. There has been a move — successfully — to get the Obama DOJ to release the names of seven political appointees in the Attorney General’s office who voluntarily represented Gitmo detainees — aka captured member of al-Qaeda.

It is accomplished

Potential Tea Party anthem? Perhaps. I also prefer to look at this song as a thumb in the eye of any politician who wishes to be our overlord instead of serving WE THE PEOPLE.

Game Over Man, Game Over!

Wow, this sounds really, really bad.

From Kyle Smith via ACEof Spades

After all of Hollywood’s Iraq movies have flopped (even the Oscar-garlanded “The Hurt Locker” earned only $15 million at the box office), one studio thinks it has the following secret to success: The previous films didn’t insult the United States enough.
“Green Zone,” opening Friday, is [...]

Attention: Tea Party organizers

Your potential theme song?

Channeling the great Bobby Subgum, a teasah, a rittle ti’bit of the great Gary Eaton somehow making me sound not-too-shabby in the vocals department (and really pushing me — no baseball bats necessary — to hit the right word emphases throughout the song), while also supplying the guitars, bass and drums [...]

No Quarter Given!

In today’s Texas history class students we find that on this date in 1836 the Alamo fell to the Mexican Army. For 13 days between 100-150 Texicans held out against the onslaught of over 1500 Mexican soldiers under the command of General Santa Anna. The battle became a rallying point for the Texas [...]

Defending Lincoln

Nothing like arguing about Lincoln, so I’ll extend it to a new post here. In open thread, Floyd – quite correctly – said that if the South hadn’t been so stubbornly boneheaded about slavery, the American Civil War (or the War of Northern Aggression, if you prefer) would not have occurred. New commenter Jeff Stone [...]

Thursday Open Thread

149 years ago today — Lincoln’s First Inauguration:

This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing Government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it or their revolutionary right to dismember or overthrow it. I can not be ignorant of the fact that [...]

Patriotic in Pittsburgh

The Buffalo Sabres (for whom Ryan Miller is goalie) played the Pittsburgh Penguins in Pitsburgh in the first NHL game back from the Olympic break. Sidney Crosby — game-winning goal scorer for Team Canada plays for the Penguins. The fans give Ryan Miller a great standing O for his great work for Team [...]

Happy Independence Day!

Since none of you heathens mentioned it, allow me to remember that TODAY is TEXAS INDEPENDENCE DAY!

To be honest if I wasn’t reminded by 67 Cougar I would have forgotten. Not much of an excuse I know but I was supervising 3 attack weapons teams flight operations over Iraq, so I nearly jacked it [...]

Radio Free Threedonia 2.8 -- Christian Toto and irregular cast of characters

Powered by Podbean.com

While Floyd tended to a gout-stricken foot — get well soon, Mr. Turbo — the RF3D team soldiered on, welcoming guest Christian Toto to the fun. Naturally, he shares his Oscars picks and since he was kind enough to stick around for a few extra minutes, we ragged on Hollywood’s obsession with re-makes, [...]

Flyover Too Good for Flyover Country

This is not a new story, but it’s new on Snopes, where I saw it.  (It took them over six months to check this out.)

It appears some bitter clingers—you know, typical white people—in Idaho requested a military flyover at their “God & Country” festival, at which “new military recruits [are] inducted and all military [are] [...]

More People You've Probably Never Heard Of

David Bellavia visits a theme I have discussed here once or twice. The real heroes this nation produces and how we never hear of them or celebrate their stories.

This is the story of Melvin Brown

…PFC Brown was nineteen-years old in 1950. Rosy cheeks and bright eyes. From my assessment of his pictures he barely [...]

Fifth Column?

From Iowahawk, this is absolutely hill-fing-larious.

That’s right, mister!

The Axis automotive powers have declared war on American motorists and our cherished union-made way of life. They’ve established secret assembly beach heads in so-called “right-to-work” occupied Vichy states like Alabama and Tennessee, manufacturing six sigma deathtrap jalopies with hillbilly slave dupes paid less than prevailing wages!

And now [...]

Obsession: The Left’s Contempt Boils Over

According to Hannity, the left – led by James Carville (yikes!) – is initiating an “investigation” into the tea party movement. Good luck with that Jimmy. Sure, he might turn up a couple of photos of Porvaznik in compromising positions, but who hasn’t?

The left, as it so often does, is engaged in mirror thinking here. [...]

Burning of the frigate USS Philadelphia in Tripoli Harbor, Feb. 16, 1804 by Edward Moran

A Comic Cunundrum…

First… kudos to Marvel for setting the upcoming Captain America movie back in the 1940s so they could make him more patriotic. Jeers for thinking that only the 1940s would support a flag-waving (and wearing) patriot without any risk of eye-rolling. I’ve always thought Cap would be difficult to film — I mean [...]

Fighter Pilot, Robin Olds

If you have ever been curious about what a real no-shit fighter pilot is like, that was Robin Olds.

02/02/2007 RIP Keith and Jason

Three years ago today, two members of my unit were lost while flying a combat mission in Iraq. Caught in an ADA ambush with an aircraft so damaged that by “the book” they should have landed right there, they chose to fight their attackers. Ultimately Keith and Jason’s aircraft finally succumbed to its [...]

We often complain loud and long about how “the media” never gets it right. About how they are willing to be toadies for things most of us don’t believe in.
