Oh, Where is the Courage?

"I ask them, where is the, where is the, where is the courage? Where has the senners (sic) got courage on that side of the aisle, to stand up and work together, on bipartisan basis, to get healthcare reform passed? Where?" ~Senator Max Baucus


I don't know, Senator, but I know you keep your courage close to your heart... in a flask.

Happy New Year, America and friends. Tell me, what more are we going to put up with this year?

On Underwear Bombs and Airport Security: Cui Bono?

No mention of this little dandy in the media (emphasis added to quotations):

"A passenger who boarded Northwest Airlines Flight 253 in Amsterdam with attempted plane bomber Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab says the would-be terrorist had no passport and was aided by a sharp-dressed man who claimed Mutallab was a Sudanese refugee, just one of a plethora of startling inconsistencies surrounding an incident that has led to ramped up security and increased levels of harassment in airports." ~Infowars.com

Yes, I'm ready to call this one an inside job. By whom? I don't know, you take a wild guess.

"I am grateful to the passengers and crew aboard Northwest Flight 253 who reacted quickly and heroically to an incident that could have had tragic results. The Department of Homeland Security immediately put additional screening measures into place- for all domestic and international flights- to ensure the continued safety of the traveling public. We are also working closely with federal, state and local law enforcement on additional security measures, as well as our international partners on enhanced security at airports and on flights." ~Janet Napolitano

Since Richard "the Shoe-Bomber" Reid brought us "sockfeet security" at airports, what will Umar "Flammable Underwear" Mutallab add to the TSA's constantly updated repertoire of screening devices? I'm sure it will involve those highly controversial yet oh-so necessary x-ray machines which allow airport security to view your naked body, thus violating your 4th Amendment right to be secure in your persons. No, nothing is sacred in the post-9/11 world, or had you forgotten?

Cui bono? Who stands to gain from this? You're all smart, every one of you; who do you think stands to gain from underwear attacks?

A hint: it's not Umar.

Knucklehead Recognition Award: Hugo Chavez

“Our revolution seeks to help all people… Socialism, the other ghost that is probably wandering around this room, that’s the way to save the planet, Capitalism is the road to hell....let’s fight against Capitalism and make it obey us.” ~ Hugo Chavez

Hugo Chavez, in recognition of showing yourself for what you are, that being a Socialist, idiotic, dehumanizing, tyrannical, politically challenged quasi-statesman, I now pronounce you "Knucklehead".

Answers to Tag Questions

Rebecca

1. Do you think feminism is part of the socialist agenda to destroy America?
2. What is your view on abortion in the case of a tubal pregnancy?
3. Do you prefer girls with long hair or short hair?
4. We know a family who is very Vision Forum and Confederate, and they don't like college for either boys or girls. Is that something you would hold to as well, or would you go to college?
5. What do you think about girls going to college?

1. Yes, I know it is part of a rather revolting plan on the part of many important and influential people to break up families, specifically to separate children from parents, for the express purpose of raising the child, and the child's generation, creating their perfect citizen.
2. Difficult question, depends on the individual case's circumstances (impossibility/possibility of the baby's survival), but the only answer I can safely give is, "Do no harm."
   
3. My preference is that everyone goes by Biblical standards, "... If a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him, But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering."
4. I ain't fancy educated with all that there book learning, and I ain't going to college, neither; but, if one is so inclined, who am I to judge? I would warn against indoctrination, and the general atmosphere of revelry and worldliness, but if one wishes to brave it, knock yourself out.
5. Again I say, "Knock yourself out."

1. Would you rather see a return to the original U.S.A. or a secession of one or several different Confederations of States from the former u.S.?

1. Very, very, very long answer short, I would like to see the system of government, as set out by the Constitution, implemented throughout the entire continent once again. If the several states of the American section of North America were so determined, I would love for all 50 states to be within the same union. If individual states were determined to remain independent, or to ally themselves with other independent states, it would be an interesting experiment in political science, and would probably benefit both the hypothetical confederation and the federation. I would be very satisfied with either of those two scenarios, and I think results would be favorable for both, as well.
   

Warrior

1. How many guns do you have?
2. What kind of guns have you used?
3. How many knives do you have?
4. Any other kind of weapons?
5. What are your favorite books, nonfiction? Fiction?
6. What's your favorite movie?
7. If you are comfortable with this question in a public forum, are you a prepared survivalist?
8. Familiar with Rawles?
   
9. What one movie made you think the most?
10. What do you think about Bigfoot?
11. Sea monsters, or like Nessie?
12. Aliens?
13. Ghosts?
14. Do you like any military vehicles, be it aircraft, tanks, or ships?
15. Can you pick a favorite?
16. Favorite historical subject?
17. Now, person?
18. Do you like martial arts at all?
19. How many people, if any, have been punched by you?
20. Do you like science at all?
21. Favorite kind of science?
22. What do you think about dinosaurs?

1. I can't tell you, it's a state secret, I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you, you can't handle the truth, etc. Sorry. Would you like to come over for a barbecue, though?
   
2. I've used everything from can-plinkers to ship-sinkers. I like cap and ball firearms, but centerfires are so fun. I've used all kinds except autos. For obvious reasons.
   
3. I honestly don't know, but I think I have maybe four or five fixed-blades worth mentioning, of varying purposes and dimensions, and more than twenty-five folded-blades.
4. Oh, not really. Unless you count the PO-36 Explosive Space Modulator.
5. I like non-fiction, mostly. Fiction often seems too fictitious. Thomas Paine is a favorite author, with Common Sense and Rights of Man. Honestly, I am more inclined to read a collection of articles than a book; though, those articles may be in a book. I think that is due to my wandering mind/short attention span. (I'm sure if a doctor knew of this, I'd be pumped full of drugs to make me "normal".)
6. Oh, I don't know. One I know I'd watch if it was playing would be The Longest Day.
7. I am comfortable, and I am Survivalman.
8. Doesn't ring a bell.
9. Difficult to say (hard to tell with this wandering mind), but the answer lies somewhere betwixt Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and 2001: A Space Odyssey.
10. Well, here goes all possibility of a serious political life... I am convinced that there exists a large, undocumented primate in the North American continent. Gigantopithecus blacki proves it.
11. My email address prefix is "nessiechaser", so I've obviously looked into that subject before. I don't, however, hold any hope that whatever Nessie is or was will ever be truly known, and that it is just going to be a quirky, little blip on human culture.
12. I believe God created Earth and all life in them specially. Any "other worldy" beings are more than likely to be angels... fallen ones.
13. Ghosts, or spirits, dwell either within mortal bodies, or in the Heavenly realms, no where else.
14. I am particularly fascinated with military aircraft, not so much with vehicles or ships.
15. I like the P-47, as it was a fine example of sturdy, American work in air superiority - a flying tank, really.
16. Oh, early American history, I'd say.
17. Thomas Jefferson, by far; not for his spiritual beliefs, but for his politics and outlook on the workings of society. He was brilliant.
18. Not really. A strong trigger finger and a wicked upper-cut is as "martial" as my art gets.
19. A serious, threatening punch? None. Lucky them. :)
20. Love it!
21. Hm, Astronomy is interesting. I like pretty much everything but clouds, which are boring and confusing. You may quote me.
22. They're mighty big, aren't they? Mighty big, mostly dead, and one is featured on the Welsh flag.

1. Hey, I want your full and complete opinion of the Iraq/Afghanistan War on Terror "Conflict".

1. Nonsense, a distraction, a diversion, a decoy, deceitful, unnecessary, illegitimate, staged, false-flagged, engineered, and wholly ridiculous.

Tagged by a Warrior

I'm fine though. Really.

It was quite some time ago that I was tagged by the man, but I've been a bad blogger, and I haven't paid one mite's worth of attention to my blog for quite some time. Shameful.

Anyway, here's the deal... I have to answer whatever questions my readers ask, however many questions you ask, all in one sitting. So, comment your questions on this post, and I'll be sure to answer them all before January in another post.

Ask anything, and I'll try to answer. Remember, this all ends when everyone's had an adequate chance to comment their questions (all of this is at my discretion, by the way).

Let'r rip.
