Read and Ponder

I keep hearing the jugheads in government denying that we are a nation at war with radical Islam. While reading today, I found a little something that disputes that pretty clearly. Well, perhaps we are not a nation at war with radical Islam, but they are sure as hell at war with us and have been for 35 years or so. READ.

Love This

I spotted this over at Tam's and I liked it so much, I decided to post it here.

Veteran's Day

I wish a happy Veteran's Day to all of my brothers and sisters Past, Present and Future.

I like This

I also think it serves as a warning to those who are abusing their power right now.

Everyone who reads this knows that I'm a Sci-Fi buff and I've been watching Babylon 5 again. There is a statement that is uttered by Narn Ambassador G'Kar after the Narn surrender to the Centauri. I think it's a perfect message to send to Washington right now.

No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever. There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom. Against that power, governments and tyrants and armies can not stand.

Ft Hood

I have no words to express my feelings. Fortunately, Mike Vanderboegh over at Sipsey Street doesn't have that problem.

What I've Learned

Today being my birthday, no, I'm not gonna tell you how old I am, unless you're a gorgeous single redhead with 2 doctorate level degrees, I thought I might want to share some of what I've learned over the years. This idea was made a lot easier thanks to my having shamelessly stolen this from Theo Spark.

WOOOHOOOO Go Ford

Just spotted this and thought you'd be interested.

Ford, the only Detroit automaker to dodge direct government aid and bankruptcy court, surprised investors with net income of nearly $1 billion in the third quarter and forecast a "solidly profitable" 2011.

The automaker said Monday earnings were fueled by U.S. market share gains, cost cuts and the Cash for Clunkers program, which drew flocks of buyers to showrooms this summer. Ford's shares rose 68 cents, or 9.8 percent, to $7.68 in morning trading.

That's why I only buy Ford.

Halloween Classic

If you have some time tonight and feel like some classic "scare". Follow this link to a recording of the original 1938 radio broadcast of HG Welles War of the Worlds featuring Orson Welles and the Mercury Radio Theater. Happy Halloween.

Only Things Missing Are Tam And Brigid

I stole this shamelessly from Theo Spark. The video says 44....if we add the 2 mentioned in the title, I think we can say 46...47 if ya count Breda.

Frightning

I received an e mail this morning from Jim (Uncle Jimbo) Hanson who is the communications director for the Warrior Legacy Foundation. It pointed me to a clip for a film called 33 Minutes. The experts say, that a land based ballistic missile, launched at the United States, will take about 30-33 minutes to reach it's target unless intercepted.

I think we all know that one of the things that pResident JugEars has accomplished during his term in office thus far, has been to effectively neuter the ballistic missile defense capability of the United States. I urge you to watch this trailer and then write the letters and make the phone calls because more and more nations on this earth are developing and testing ballistic missile platforms and some of them wouldn't mind using them to blow up a large chunk of our Republic.

Perfect
