I am printing once again a poem written by an Army Air Corp. member in Honor of his fallen comrade in WWII.
I am choosing to highlight the Greatest Generation again, as everyday too many of them pass from this world, and with each one a wealth of knowledge is lost. Tlalk to these guys when you meet them. I promise you will learn so much, and all you have to do is sit down and say "Hi, what did you do in the war?"
The original post about it can be found here. (Also linked in title)
In Honor of Charles S. Seaman
He flew and He fought
In the clear blue skies
His face to the burning sun
He died up there with
A smile and a sigh
His hands on a flaming gun
Many a Zero
Will pay for his death
In those same blue skies above
Many a Jap
Will draw his last breath
Revenge for
The boy we loved
High in the sky
A crew says a prayer
As they fly through flame and lead
Never for them
Will there be any rest
'Til the last damned Jap is dead.

From Atlanta comes the story of a man wanted for murder in, of all places, Pinellas County Fl.
Wanted in the death of his ex-girlfriend Jennifer L. Gonzalez, 36, whose body was found in a pond behind the apartment complex where she lived, the suspect, Carl Edward Roland, 41, climbed atop the crane on wednesday.
Refusing food and water, Roland is staying atop the crane and has refused a plea from his sister, offers of food and an alternative to climbing down by jumping into airbags deployed by the fire department.
When asked why he was refusing to come down from the crane, he yelled back that if he was going to die a peaceful death by starvation it was going to be at his own choosing at not at the choosing of the Pinellas County judiciary.
Readers may remember that the Pinellas County Sherriff's Dept. laid siege to a hospice in Pinellas Park earlier this year at the order of a judge to stop all attempts at saving Terri Schindler-Schiavo, who was starved to death by the order of Judge George Greer.
Right to die advocates, backed by the ACLU, are gathering to protest against the police attempting to end Rolands attempt to die peacefully, while anti-death penalty forces, backed by the ACLU, have filed suit in Federal Court to end the siege on African-Americans, who are on death row in disproportionate numbers.
When asked about this case, the Spokesman for Gaawwd and the Religious Right, Jerry Falwell said Roland should be stopped from starving himself to death, as suicide is a sin, and instead he should be arrested, charged, and, if found guilty, put to death.
In a parting comment to reporters Falwell said, "Gawwd hates sinners, and among the worst of these are murderers, pedophiles and democrats, so no leniency should be shown to these people for their crimes against man nor their sins against Gawwd, and they should all be put to death as soon as possible. God Bless you all and may his peace be upon you."

POS really is a big piece of shit....a seriously hateful anti American little piece of fuck.....let's extradite him to france.
This post will highlight one of the inherent evils' of socialism, and it's penchant for deciding what is best for YOUR CHILDREN.
When the state thinks it can raise your child better than you, and when the state tells you what you MUST do with your own child, then you can be sure that Major Indoctrination is occuring....take a look here at the inside lining of that great socialist success story Germany.
It seems in Germany the march towards a completely socialist society, where parents have no rights regarding their own children and the state has the ability to take your kids from you is, well, marching along. Seems those germans are always marching towards one thing or another doesn't it?
The first things that catches one's attention is the fact that three year olds are possibly going to be REQUIRED to attend pre-school. You will take special note of this phrase in the article; "Children would not only become smarter but also healthier because the state would separate pre-school children from their mothers.
Does this surprise you? Are you shocked that in a socialist society the government believes it can do a better job of raising your children that you could? Are you absolutely flabbergasted that in essence, a socialist society only wishes you to have children as a way of giving the state workers to mold to its' ideal?
Other "benefits" of this system are that
and
Damn those useless baby machines. If only they knew HOW to raise a strong healthy worker then the government wouldn't have to separate mothers and their children so young and make the mom go back to work.
O.K., that was sarcastic. But it dooes show that in a socialist country the government doesn't trust you to feed your children correctly, much less raise them well. Is the stench of this article burning your nostrils too? I am posting this in a bio-hazard suit...it makes it harder to type, but easier to breathe.
Now here is a great quote:
Does anyone else out there think that this may be because people in a socialist country tend to get UNMOTIVATED rather quickly?
NaAAaaAAhHHHhh....it could never be that!!!!
You see this?:
No problem say the powers that be:
That's OK though, because at least they realize this:
They already have this on the table you know, under "Homeschooling Illegal" Declares German School Official.
Want to be deviant and fight for your right to raise your own child?

"More mothers can go to work"
and
"the average child will eat healthier food, learn correct eating behaviour and suffer less chronic sicknesses later on"

NaAAaaAAhHHHhh....it could never be that!!!!
You see this?:
"The experts predict the costs for this reform to be about 12 billion euros per year alone for children under ten years of age."
No problem say the powers that be:
"But part of this financial effort will be compensated: More working mothers mean more taxes and social security contributions and fewer expenses for social help."
That's OK though, because at least they realize this:
"But we are not fooling ourselves: First we need to invest billions of tax money,"
They already have this on the table you know, under "Homeschooling Illegal" Declares German School Official.
Want to be deviant and fight for your right to raise your own child?
"Any resistance by the parents will result in the removal of these thirteen elementary age children from their homes and into state custody!
Yeppers...this sounds like a free country to me.
You know, I spend a lot of my time telling people that in a socialist country the reason religion is played down and pushed behind closed doors is because the only moral or ethical question in a socialist country is: "Is this action good for the state?"
Don't believe me?
Then don't look at this.
Here is just one little quote from the above linked article:public schools undermine Biblical educational ideals like purity and obedience to parents.
And of course this gem here.According to the Hessian school law, parents who "continually or obstinately prevent their children from fulfilling the compulsory school attendance" face up to 6 months in prison or a stiff fine.
Wow, you can't get a much harsher sentence for robbing a gas station.
Yet another quote.As it now stands, the Goldermann's have been heavily fined and the state has placed a lien against their home. If they do not pay the fines, their home can be taken away from them.
Nice....
Does ANY of this surprise you, dear reader??
Me either.
To any that still think that socialism is a great thing just feel free to call and defend this point.

Two of the names of Americana just about every person in America that isn't living a cloistered life knows are Paul Harvey and Walter Cronkite, or as I like to call them, America's Grandpa's.
Venerable old newscasters that have been around since the early days of broadcasting, these two men have left an indelible mark on journalism and touched countless lives and continue to do so.
If you haven't heard of them then get out more.
You know what I mean when I say America's Grandpa's right? Those fellows that we can picture spinning tales and teaching us about life while we sit at their knee and soak it up. They remind everyone I talk to of their grandpa, or in the least I hear "That is the kind of grandpa I would want."
A man of wisdom, wit and charm, infinitly patient with a quiet dignity and a sparkle in his eye.
You know; Grandpa.
First up is Walter Cronkite, since I wish to save my personal favorite for last. Cronkite's place in the Deck Of Weasels notwithstanding he IS an Icon of America.
Now usually I wouldn't write about someone that made the Deck, at least not in a complimentary way, however Cronkite did something that most on the left never do, and that is tell them that the public has no idea what their platform is, exactly. It isn't anything that a lot of us don't tell them everyday that we sit at a keyboard, but it came from someone IN their camp and with the massive cred's that, frankly, most will never have.
Walter Cronkitehas lived a great life, entertaining us and bringing the world into our living rooms back in those days when the only way to know what was going on in the world was to read the paper, listen to the radio or watch the network news, and political views notwithstanding, he is a great American that has the backbone to stand up for what he believes in and isn't afraid to tell those in his party what they are doing wrong, and for these reasons I consider him one of America's Grandpa's.
My personal favorite is Paul Harvey. I was introduced to Paul Harvey when I was very young by my grandpa. I was so young that I don't even remember it. It seems as if I have always listened to Grandpa Harvey regaling us with the news and humorous stories from around the world.
In 1976 he started "The Rest Of The Story", (available in book form) explaining the little known history behind famous people and events, and if you haven't heard Paul tell TROTS in his engaging midwestern accent, then you have missed some of the best recorded tales ever heard.
If you can listen to Paul Harvey and not be absolutely enthralled by his voice, his style and his obvious class and superb wit and humor, if you can hear his broadcast and not feel both a sense of satisfaction and a longing for more at the end of his news stories then you are simply out of your head.
Paul Harvey has given us some great quotes and if you haven't heard Paul's newsbits go listen right now.
After you listen don't forget to come back here and tell me thank you for turning onto a bit of living history and one of America's Grandpa's.

This is a story written by one Keith Thompson writingin the Sand Francisco Chronicle and picked up by SFGate.com.
I seem to remember another story by another writer in teh bay area not all that long ago. Major Tip o' me lucky green Tam to Jeffrey at IBC.
Excerpts:
We will call this an awakening. Here is a man that for more than 30 years was in teh grip of leftist ideaologies and once freedom began to break out in Iraq he realized what a waste of time the left truly is these days.
Yes, yes and YEESS....AMEN and Preach it Brother Keith. This has been nailed on the head. He has it so right here and it is so refreshing to see a liberal not only see his mistake but to actually write about it. I only wish he had come to his epiphany sooner.
I love this next quote:
Shall I continue on with this sermon that rings as true as The gospel of St James?
This is the TRUTH good people. The Truth as it was, is and always will be. The Truth that the left has no idea what they are saying.....have no idea what they are standing for other than "They are evil, and everything THEY believe is evil, vote for us."
Now, my Brothers and Sisters on, in and of the RIGHT, does any of this sound familiar? Have you heard these words of wisdom before? Of course you have. You, yourselves, have preached this gospel from the highest mount to the lowliest slum, always believing that the Truth will be percieved by those that see neither Truth nor Goodness in the world.
We have sermonized, (Amen), We have Prosyletized, (Hallelujah) and We have chastized, aggrandized and carmelized those on the left with this very speech, (Preach it To the Highest), and now, one of the misguided souls among the black sheep that have strove for the destruction of a great country from within has shown that the left CAN be SAVED!!!
BROTHERS AND SISTERS....Go READ this tale of a man that has strayed from the path of common sense and logical thought....a tale as sordid in the beginning as the latest Hollywood film, and a tale that, like most hollywood tripe that comes spewing forth as so much venom against common decency, has an ending that makes you FEEL GOOD!!!!
A tale of triumph against great odds.
A tale that needs to be oft repeated and more often duplicated.
Go!!!!
Read!!!!

Excerpts:
Nightfall, Jan. 30. Eight-million Iraqi voters have finished risking their lives to endorse freedom and defy fascism. Three things happen in rapid succession. The right cheers. The left demurs. I walk away from a long-term intimate relationship. I'm separating not from a person but a cause: the political philosophy that for more than three decades has shaped my character and consciousness, my sense of self and community, even my sense of cosmos.
We will call this an awakening. Here is a man that for more than 30 years was in teh grip of leftist ideaologies and once freedom began to break out in Iraq he realized what a waste of time the left truly is these days.
I choose this day for my departure because I can no longer abide the simpering voices of self-styled progressives -- people who once championed solidarity with oppressed populations everywhere -- reciting all the ways Iraq's democratic experiment might yet implode.
Yes, yes and YEESS....AMEN and Preach it Brother Keith. This has been nailed on the head. He has it so right here and it is so refreshing to see a liberal not only see his mistake but to actually write about it. I only wish he had come to his epiphany sooner.
I love this next quote:
Leading voices in America's "peace" movement are actually cheering against self-determination for a long-suffering Third World country because they hate George W. Bush more than they love freedom.
Shall I continue on with this sermon that rings as true as The gospel of St James?
These days the postmodern left demands that government and private institutions guarantee equality of outcomes. Any racial or gender "disparities" are to be considered evidence of culpable bias, regardless of factors such as personal motivation, training, and skill.
This is the TRUTH good people. The Truth as it was, is and always will be. The Truth that the left has no idea what they are saying.....have no idea what they are standing for other than "They are evil, and everything THEY believe is evil, vote for us."
Now, my Brothers and Sisters on, in and of the RIGHT, does any of this sound familiar? Have you heard these words of wisdom before? Of course you have.

Two boys involved in a fight with a school bus driver in FL. have been charged with a FELONY!!!
It is the law in FL. that assault on a school official is a felony involving up to five years in juvy, but a security camera on the bus shows the bus driver telling a student to put on his seat belt, (in FL seatbelts are required on busses but wearing them is not mandatory), and when the student refused he told the student to sit in the front of the bus.
When he refused to sit in the front, the bus driver, a substitute BTW, moved to the back of the bus, where he was intercepted by the students older step brother. At this point the driver grabbed the older brother's throat and slapped him, at which point the boy that the bus driver assaulted and his younger brother assaulted him. (legal concerns cause me to use the word assault, but I would have preferred to say they whupped his ass).
Now the seatbelt was not mandatory, and the brothers should not have beaten on the driver, but that driver had no right to touch that student.
Usually I am firmly on the side of discipline, but if my brother was grabbed by the throat by a bus driver I would have taken exception to that and whupped on him also. I had an irate parent grab my throat in front of a school once, and it was only quick intervention by the principal that stopped me from breaking that fat broads nose. In that case I was defending my little brother AND my little sister from her kids.
The kids should be punished, not five years in juvy though.
And the driver?
Considering he is charged with the safe passage of kids to and from school, and grabbing a kid by the throat is nowhere near conducive to safe passage, he should be charged with aggravated assualt on a minor and the book tossed at him.

Seeing how those "end-times" I have heard about since bible school as a kid seem to stick with me like a scene from a movie that burns itself onto your retina and won't let go, awakening you in the middle of the night in a cold sweat I feel I must point this out.
Linked in the title is a blurb about the Real ID Act.
If this phrase from it is true:
Then that pesky part regarding the last days and something about the mark of the beast and not being able to do anything without it seems to haunt me.
Would someone with a better knowledge of Revelations PLEASE set my mind at ease?

A big tip o' me tam to The List Administrator for this tale of sordidness.
All of you arabs living in NY better watch out for these two butt bandits...they are out for your ass in a misguided quest for world peace....or is that piece?
Don Carol, the director of Jack the Pelican Presents, a gallery in Williamsburg says "This isn't a seedy gay thing. It's about falling in love."
Uh-huh.
I wish I had thought of telling girls that I wanted to sleep with them as an art project in pursuit of peace. Man what a great line.
Here's a bit from the article that caught my attention:
So apparently they are looking for lonely GAY arab men. I wonder what the Koran teaches about homosexuality?
FOUR HUNDRED?????
Damn...these are two very successful gay "artists" if this idea has allowed them to bed 400 desperate gay arab men.
So now this begs the question, if they have bedded 400 guys in the quest for "love" to bring peace to the middle east why hasn't it worked after 400 times?
Do they actually think that just because they nail some GaRab that peace will suddenly break out?
As if the leaders in the ME are going to say "Hey, we can't fight you anymore, there are gay isrealis and gay arabs having sex with each other."
Gimme a break.
These guys are just two of the craftiest fags to ever come down the road with a "sex for art" scheme.
At least straight artists that try to nail rich socialites through their "art" are after money too.
Two gay Israeli artists have set up shop in a Brooklyn art gallery with the intention of seducing an Arab man living in New York.

Here's a bit from the article that caught my attention:
Here's the duo's seduction plan: After word of the plan gets out, lonely Arab men will send the artists photos and exchange e-mail. Then Gil, 37, and Moti, 33, will paint watercolors of the photos to seduce the Arab men.
So apparently they are looking for lonely GAY arab men. I wonder what the Koran teaches about homosexuality?
In the Brooklyn show, 400 watercolor portraits — painted during previous performances — will be displayed beside a bed for three. There are also gay porn photos of the couple and a Lebanese Christian boyfriend.
FOUR HUNDRED?????

Giving the radical muslims a reason to hate us these days doesn't seem very hard. In fact it gets easier and easier for those in the "Hate America, Hate the West, Kill All Infidels" camp to most days look no further than the American MSM for all the fuel they need to stoke the fires of war.
We all saw the story about Newsweek fomenting chaos and hatred of America with their utterly irresponsible story about alleged abuse of the Koran at Gitmo.
After riots broke out in Afghanistan and other places they retracted the story, admitting that that they used a "knowledgeable government source", who later said that "he could not be certain he had seen the account in the military report and that it might have been in other investigative documents".
The reason I am bringing up what amounts to old news in the "Shadow Media" is this story here from Reuters. It seems the Red Cross has sent reports to the Pentagon about this very thing as early as 2002.
I want to point out some key phrases in that article for those on the other side of the street that have claimed, to me personally, that the source of the Newsweek article was the ICRC and not, as Newsweek acknowledged, a "knowledgeable government source".
And this:
And this next bit,
keeping in mind that these are people that are suing the U.S. I want you to think about something here....if you were locked up would you sue? Sure you would. Even if you had to lie about circumstances to do so? Yes you would, so don't even try to lie about it.
If you were captured by our military and held for interrogation and exonerated you would be looking for revenge and a slimy lawyer.
Was this alleged abuse occuring? Maybe, maybe not, and we may never know for sure.
As you can see from the above guidelines were issued, but the U.S. military doesn't issue guidelines only on a reactive basis, as I have been told, otherwise new guidelines would constantly be issued in rapid fire succession just to keep up with an ever changing world.
Newsweek has now changed it's sourcing policy and has set up this guideline:
Seems a lot of guidelines are being created after this story, and I need to point out that the U.S. military isn't doing any of it at this time. They set out the new guidleines regarding this issue in Jan. 2003.
Now in Saudi Arabia we have a call from an islamic court for those that have been accused of this crime to be turned over to be tried by them for their crimes against Islam. (Tip o' me tam to our very own Mustang for that link, and Welcome to the Mustang, another great addition to TWA)
Now, maybe I am just not seeing the news on this but I have yet to see one name tossed out anywhere regarding flushing Koran's. Add in the fact that an Islamic Court is making DEMANDS of the U.S. Government as if they actually had any power aside from threatening Jihad on us and it becomes increasing laughable.
The muslim world rarely has a week go by anymore where one Jihad or another is not called for against us, and in fact it is starting to become a Point of Honor amongst some, a bragging right if you will, almost as if having jihad called for against you is a credential of the power of your words and thoughts.
And no, I haven't had a jihad called for against me, but one has hope.
Anyway.
What's the point to this rant?
Just this: The ICRC was NOT the source for the Newsweek crime, (and it is a crime, their irresponsible reporting has caused almost 20 deaths around the globe) and at the end of the day, Newsweek was wrong and if one credible source comes out that proves the Koran was flushed down a toilet at Gitmo not only will I retract this article here, but I will demand a toilet from Gitmo.....I mean really people, any toilet that can handle having a book flushed down it and survive would make a follower of The Rev. Al Bundy like myself drool in anticipation of that kind of Throneal Power.

We all saw the story about Newsweek fomenting chaos and hatred of America with their utterly irresponsible story about alleged abuse of the Koran at Gitmo.
After riots broke out in Afghanistan and other places they retracted the story, admitting that that they used a "knowledgeable government source", who later said that "he could not be certain he had seen the account in the military report and that it might have been in other investigative documents".
The reason I am bringing up what amounts to old news in the "Shadow Media" is this story here from Reuters. It seems the Red Cross has sent reports to the Pentagon about this very thing as early as 2002.
I want to point out some key phrases in that article for those on the other side of the street that have claimed, to me personally, that the source of the Newsweek article was the ICRC and not, as Newsweek acknowledged, a "knowledgeable government source".
"The U.S. government took corrective measures and those allegations have not resurfaced," Schorno said
And this:
Members of the humanitarian organization, which is given access to the prison, did not witness any mishandling of the Koran.
And this next bit,
Former Guantanamo prisoners and lawyers for detainees have for months accused U.S. personnel at Guantanamo of putting the Koran into toilets.
keeping in mind that these are people that are suing the U.S. I want you to think about something here....if you were locked up would you sue? Sure you would. Even if you had to lie about circumstances to do so? Yes you would, so don't even try to lie about it.
If you were captured by our military and held for interrogation and exonerated you would be looking for revenge and a slimy lawyer.
Was this alleged abuse occuring? Maybe, maybe not, and we may never know for sure.
In January 2003, the U.S. military issued guidelines to personnel at the base that included the order: "Ensure that the Koran is not placed in offensive areas such as the floor, near the toilet or sink, near the feet or dirty/wet areas."
As you can see from the above guidelines were issued, but the U.S. military doesn't issue guidelines only on a reactive basis, as I have been told, otherwise new guidelines would constantly be issued in rapid fire succession just to keep up with an ever changing world.
Newsweek has now changed it's sourcing policy and has set up this guideline:
"From now on, only the editor or the managing editor, or other top editors they specifically appoint, will have the authority to sign off on the use of an anonymous source,"
Seems a lot of guidelines are being created after this story, and I need to point out that the U.S. military isn't doing any of it at this time. They set out the new guidleines regarding this issue in Jan. 2003.
Now in Saudi Arabia we have a call from an islamic court for those that have been accused of this crime to be turned over to be tried by them for their crimes against Islam. (Tip o' me tam to our very own Mustang for that link, and Welcome to the Mustang, another great addition to TWA)

In an amazing development reversing long standing U.S. government policy an illegal alien, and a criminal at that, ahs been arrested and faces deportation.
Luis Posada Carriles, a Cuban national wanted in Venezuela in connection with the 1976 bombing of a Cuban airliner was taken into custody taken into custody by U.S. immigration officers in Miami on tuesday in Miami.
He admitted to entering the U.S. illegally through Mexico in mid-March and is being held in El Paso TX. until a hearing to determine his fate.
He claims U.S. residency status received during the Cuban Missile Crises in Oct. 1962 was never revoked, therefore he will "vigorously" fight extradition.
An alleged former CIA agent, Carriles claims to be in the country legally and will attempt to seek asylum.
Let me tell you something. This has opened a can of worms for the U.S., as Castro has labelled Carilles a terrorist, and says that Venezuela, or an international tribunal, has jurisdiction to prosecute him.
Granting him asylum would only cause an international furor, as the U.S. government is the first to point out to other countries when they are harboring terrorists.
There will be much more on this story, as I am sure the ACLU will, once again, take up on the side of a terrorist and stand against the values of America.
I don't think we should ship him out. Venezuela is closely allied with Castro, and most of South America has lax border controls and supposedly terrorists are using it as a possible staging area.
Turn him lose in a different third world country and telll the commies south of the border to bugger off.

It's a good one, and I am certain I cannot write a post on prostitution that can be read in a (somewhat) family friendly blog.
Go...what're ya' waitin' for?

We are headed to a pitched battle in this country; one that will become even more divisive than slavery was in the mid 19th century.
Now, we are already in the middle of a war, and I am not disparaging the seriousness of slavery, or the evilness of it, but the issue that is going to tear this country in two is Gay Marriage.
I need to clarify what I just wrote. We are in the middle of two wars, the War on Terror, and a culture war. So far the culture war has been somewhat peaceful, especially compared to how ugly it could have gotten without "hate crime legislation".
The added teeth in those laws make it much worse on people that have that nasty proclivity of assaulting other people based on their differences.
A bit from the story linked in the title:
If this keeps up a constitutional amendment IS going to be proposed. Whether it would actually be ratified is another story altogether.
But given the left's love of losing and their apparent march into the sunset of history as a viable political party in this country I can see it happening.
As things stand, with the seeming march of the Hildebeast into the front-running candidacy in '08, the left's continued stubbornness to see what they are doing wrong despite their shortcomings being pointed out EVERY SINGLE DAY by countless pundits and pontificators both online and off, and their continued insistence that, regardless of the thrashing they get constantly, they are IN TOUCH with the "average American", they are barreling down the road to extinction.
If they lose anymore power they won't be able to stop the GOP from running roughshod over anything. And that’s just at the federal level.
Imagine if, in a majority of states, the GOP held absolute political power, leaving the Dems swinging in the wind, completely at the whim of the right in this country, having no clout, no say and no power.
That thought alone should make the dems wake up and listen to their harshest critics and change their strategy at this very moment.
For better or worse they aren't likely to do that, and mark these words, in '06 they will lose more power, in '08 even more, and that is when the Gay Marriage Amendment will come to a head (NPI) and this country will divide in a way not seen since the Civil War.

In the first ruling of its kind, a federal judge May 12 struck down Nebraska's constitutional marriage amendment, issuing a decision that is certain to intensify calls for an amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

She passed of natural causes. That is better than her being starved to death, which some of you may remember almost happened just a few short weeks ago.
I know some of you are going to say "See? Why did you get up in arms about her before, she just died anyway." and to you I say F**K OFF!!!
By that logic we should just destroy the human race and all of creation since we are all gonna die anyway.
Some people on the left are probably feeling a bit smug about this story today, much like they felt when Terri finally died.
That's fine.
Those same people are probably wringing their hands that people on the other side of the globe are dying in places that our military is stationed and wondering what they can do to stop the Big Bad Evil Bush War Machine.
Those people have very misplaced priorities.
