The White Feathered Quill

One of the caveats of military service is you must have the integrity to do what’s right, no matter the circumstances. It’s one of the rigid, unwavering and most basic of tenets of the Military Academies and specifically West Point. Today, that integrity may not be so evident. A decorated combat veteran (and now former instructor at the Joint Forces Staff College at the National Defense University) has effectively had his recognizably stellar career destroyed by Beaurat Obama’s apologist-in-command of the Army: Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Martin Dempsey.

Modern Math/Magic Math

I recently passed a milestone by living 60 years. As a kid I thought this was when mental paralysis would engage. I’d start drooling, become forgetful and suffer the challenges of loose bowels, restricted urethral issues and in general answer all questions with the question: “Ehhhh”? Turns out I wasn’t too far off of the mark.

Integrity, Honor, Valor

Here we sit, stuck in mire. Obama’s in the White House. Islamists are in the cabinetry skulking about and fouling the resources we need to remain controlled and untouched. The American people believe pestilence is something only people in third world countries need fear. One must remember; where these roaches walked they leave a trail of diseased bacteria and viral; degradation to infect our young and endanger their future.

Value

Value (noun): the regard that something is held to deserve; the importance or preciousness of something 2.) Utility worth implied intrinsic excellence or desirability: worth implies especially qualities of mind, character or moral excellence. Dictionary.com Unabridged
Occasionally we must look at what we have before us and determine its value. We look at our environment, we assess our standing in society we measure the standards we live by and then extend that value outward to encompass and enclose our elected representatives. As citizens the valuation of any politician stands in contrast, or agreement with our personal appraisal of how things should be.

Watch the snake

Jihad (n) (1.) Islam: holy war ordained by Allah, against infidels undertaken by Muslims in defense of the Islamic faith (2) Islam: the personal struggle of the individual believer against evil and persecution The Koran teaches soldiers who die in jihad go to heaven immediately. World English Dictionary Kitman (Arabic-"secrecy, concealment"): the act of paying lip service to authority while holding personal opposition. It is a sort of political camouflage, for the purpose of survival, in circumstances where open opposition would result in persecution. Wikipedia 2012 Okay. So let’s see if I have this correct. Barack Obama was the step-son of an Indonesian Muslim in the 1960s and early '70s. He was instructed in the Muslim faith in Indonesian schools and at home. He was accepted as (at least) an apt student of this religion. He is believe to be of above average intelligence and is a graduate of Columbia and Harvard. He was (in campaign literature) a successful lawyer and community organizer.

Taqiyya

A point of view characterized by a return and adherence to fundamental principles, strict maintenance of ancient doctrines of any religion or ideology, notably Islam. (2.) A central or primary rule or principle on which something is based There’s no discussing anything with Islamists when they start their diatribe. There’s no reasoning when you deal with an Islamist because the writings, the very specific doctrine spelled out in the scriptures of Islam allows for what we don’t accept: lying to win.

The station’s on fire

Obama shows such disdain for the conduct of good government and intelligent foreign policy. It’s getting a lot of play these days. He’s got a disturbing set of priorities. The Ambassador he chose for Benghazi, Libya, was killed and all Obama did was start up his wimp engine and proclaim the act wasn’t a planned attack by terrorists. For over a week he sang this aria and his chorus repeated it so often it sounded like the Top 20 track at an AM Radio station.

Muffled oars

Those “muffled oars”, For however quiet they may be, All readers understand, That strange and fearsome doings are afoot, That treachery lurks just beyond our ken, That safety may lie straight ahead, but Courageous acts might still fall short, while grunting evil seeks to waste the love, Of self, of family, of country, or only of that one quiet fearful girl Fog condensing like rain upon her face, who worries over what waits for her Upon a dark and shrouded shore.

The Canvas

Appeasement is the act of giving something to an aggressive power to keep the peace; like giving a dog food from your plate to keep it from biting you and taking it.

Once more into the breach

The election looms before us. Will we go maintain a government stalled by the inertia of egoists’ personal weaknesses, or will we gather ourselves together as men and women with integrity? Will we accept our circumstances as being “as good as it gets” or will we take this sullen, surly mare’s reins and move our nation back onto the path of greatness we once travelled?

Anthem

The Star Spangled Banner’s been around a long time. Francis Scott Key laid down the verse in 1814 and the music was taken from John Stafford Smith’s original music dating back to 1780. Congress declared the song America’s National Anthem on March 3, 1931.

Photo Ops as PsyOps

The drama descended like a wet blanket on Plaquemines Parish as Obama and Romney slipped in for photo opportunities (photo ops). In reality it’s no more than a matter of PsyOps (Psychological Operations) designed to make people feel they’re; a.) Concerned for their safety and situation and, b.) that they alone can get something accomplished.

He made my day

Am I the only one really understood what Clint Eastwood was doing and said at the Republican National Convention (RNC)? I know Obama and his wing-nuts couldn’t get a clue if Sherlock Holmes sat in their laps and spoon fed them the information. But really; must every pundit website ask dumb questions like: “Eastwood, rambling or on point?”

The Crystal Set

1958. I started grade school in 1958. It was a simpler time. It was a special time. Americanism and its exceptionality was recognized, respected, sought and in many cases feared. It commanded acknowledgment and respect for the majesty of its goals and the surety it offered to the world it once led against the powers of despotism seeking the enslavement of the free world.

A Broken Record

I was listening to a broken record the other day and found out where I’d gotten it from. It was the old stand-by tune I remember so well from the sixties. It’s sung to the tune of” I’m a Pepper” ©:
You’re a racist, he’s a racist, they’re some racist, and they’re racists I’m pretty sure that you’re a racist too! They’re all racist, they be racists, they’re all racists, we see racists. It’s a shame that you’re a racist too! You’re a racist. A lousy rotten racist. You’re a racist. You know I hate you racists.
