John Kerry Slams America's Finest

Whether we're razing villages like Genghis Khan in Vietnam, or terrorizing Iraqi women and children, John Kerry "thinks" highly of the troops.

So "highly," in fact, that he had this to say about us troops:

You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq.

Well, at least we know what Kerry means when he suggests that he supports the troops.

Kerry, the self-admitted war criminal (Meet the Press, April 18, 1971), later claimed his comments were part of a mis-spoken joke regarding the brand of decisions that the "un-educated" (implying President Bush) make - which get us into predicaments like Iraq. I remind you that President Bush not only received higher marks than Hanoi John Kerry and graduated from Yale and Harvard Universities.

I, for one, didn't enlist in the United States Army because I didn't study hard and make the most of my education. If that was Kerry's excuse for joining, then that's his problem. I certainly didn't re-enlist at the beginning of this year because I thought I might get "stuck" in Iraq.

John Kerry, YOU owe every single service member and our families a very public apology. Do NOT expect a single one of us to accept it, however. Your lame-ass attempt to divert attention to the Republican party was NOT missed. YOU made the statement. YOU own it. Stand up, show some integrity - for once - and do the right thing. The alternative is to continue being an utter shitbag.

Kerry supporters, this is the guy you take seriously?! Let's talk about your education...

What the fuck?

Defend Christmas

Liberty Counsel is circulating a petition to help protect the rights of citizens to celebrate Christmas.

Last year, Liberty Counsel handled over 200 anti-Christian hostility cases like: defending Wisconsin and New Jersey schoolchildren who were told they couldn't sing "Silent Night" and other Christmas carols unless Christian references were removed; Boston trying to rename its Christmas tree to "Holiday tree"; and defending city bus drivers in Boise, ID who were ordered not to display "Merry Christmas" on city buses to avoid lawsuits. You can find out about dozens more cases just like these - here.

Do your part to help Liberty Counsel (who even the L.A. Times acknowledged as leading the fight to help save Christmas). Click here to sign the petition.

A True Sign of Desperation

Democrat Harold Ford Jr. recently showed up, uninvited, at a campaign event for his rival Republican Bob Corker. Ford suggested he wanted to talk about "the Iraq thing." Corker, who had actually scheduled a press conference, didn't take the bait, but handled and dismissed Ford.

Ambush politics just wont work. When will Dems learn?

Perhaps Ford will change his campaign slogan to "No integrity. No character. No class. No clue. No plan. No hope. And no future."

Maybe losing the election will give Ford time to go back and study for the bar. Maybe he'll actually pass this time so he doesn't have to repeatedly lie about being a lawyer.

Global Warming

Plucking a feather from the cap of Global Warming alarmists and "the sky is falling" enthusiasts, Detroit and Chicago have set records for their earliest annual snow fall, beating previous records from 1909 and 1972, respectively.

Yeah, I know the daily weather isn't "climate change," but this is the same kind of anecdote the alarmists are using when they gripe about the hot weather on any given day. Turnabout is a bitch.

Show me a credible scientific report with a methodology that isn't so utterly bollixed that it reeks of John Heinz-Kerry and Chappaquiddick Ted's ultra-partisan politics, and on top of record-early snowfall I'll show you reports of growing glaciers resulting from increased snowfall and lower average summer temperatures as the result of this "global warming" - soon to be published by the American Meteorological Society's Journal of Climate.

I have more to write, but I've gotta go warm up my SUV...

North Korea Tests Nuclear Weapon

North Korea has conducted an underground nuclear test despite international and UN Security Council warnings.

The US Geological Survey detected a 4.2 magnitude tremor at 10:35 local time. China, Japan and South Korea confirm the test; however, Tony Snow has yet to confirm the test.

As Drudge would say, developing...

Escondido: "Red, White, Black, Brown, You're Illegal, Outta Town"

Three of the five on Escondido's city council have balls. Big balls.

Under a proposed ordinance, landlords will be required to submit documentation of their tenants' immigration status to the city, which would then verify the information with the Federal government. Escondido's city council voted in favor of the ordinance last night, 3-2.

Landlords whose tenants are illegal immigrants would have 10 days to remove the renters, or face penalties - including the suspension of their business licenses and misdemeanor charges for repeat offenders.

Escondido Mayor Lori Holt and Councilman Ron Newman voted against the proposal. A second vote is required before the ordinance can be adopted. The vote occurs October 18 and, if approved, the ordinance will take effect 30 days later.

A representative of the San Diego ACLU supposes this is unconstitutional and an "open violation of fair housing laws."

Councilwoman Marie Waldron said she introduced the proposal "to do what we can on a local level" to combat illegal immigration. "The Federal government has let us down by not enforcing our borders," she said, "We should not be ashamed of standing up for our nations and our laws." Ms. Waldron's got balls!

Another councilman, Sam Abed - an immigrant from Lebanon, argued that the ordinance was necessary to relieve overcrowding and eliminate slumlords.

Protestors on both sides gathered outside City Hall during the vote. Some supporters carried signs reading "Red White Black Brown... You're Illegal... Outta Town." Some opponents resorted to extreme hyperbole (thus diminishing their position) and carried signs reading "USA Not Nazi Germany."

It's good to see that when the Federal Government chooses to not adequately address the problem of illegal immigrants, that cities like Escondido will not sit idly by watching as the parade of illegal immigrants continues into their city.

Story completely snagged... er - "re-written" - from a piece appearing on 10news.com.

Lee Giles - Child Rapist

August 2006 - Retired Tacoma Police Officer and former Crimestoppers Spokesman Lee Giles and his girlfriend Maureen Wear are accused of creating more than 20 videotapes of themselves sexually abusing children, to include Wear's son who claims "he was made to perform sex acts with his mother." Giles is charged with repeatedly raping the boy over close to 9 years.

September 2006 - Prosecutors have searched Giles' home and found videotapes from a child molestation case Giles had investigated in 1991. The perpetrator in that crime, Robert Miller, pleaded guilty to child molestation and videotaping the crimes. Prosecutors say there are 21 new tapes that will be used to file new charges against Giles.

October 2006 - Giles' tally of charges includes: 26 counts of child rape, molestation, voyeurism, child pornography, and possession of stolen property. These charges include the sexual abuse of two young girls entrusted to Giles' care, who were only 3 and 7 years old at the time.

Police say Giles video taped everything. Court documents also state "there are also multiple videotaped incidents of Giles assisting and filming (his girlfriend) molesting (the two young girls)." ... "(The 3-year old girl) cries through portions of the molestation that follows."

Unfortunately, the child rapist and former police officer is being kept away from the general population in the Pierce County jail. That's too bad... it's about time someone like that becomes someone's bitch.

Writhe in hell, Giles. I hope one of your many new boyfriends rips your junk off, then shoves it down your throat and suffocates you with it - you piece of shit!

NFL: Inexcusable

On Sunday, the Tennessee Titans' Defensive Tackle Albert Haynesworth committed a criminal act against a fellow player when he brought thug-life to the field and stomped - twice - on the face of a helmet-less Andre Gurode of the Dallas Cowboys.

Haynesworth, by the way, has a history of on-field incidents to include: kicking his own teammate, Justin Hartwig, in the chest during a team practice in 2003; getting into a fight with another teammate later that year - and being suspended for the final game of the season; and while in college, leaving the field after getting into it with team mate Will Ofenheusle, then returning to the field with a long pole resulting in a half-game suspension by the University of Tennessee.

Haynesworth was ejected from the game and the NFL informed the Titans of the "penalty" on Monday afternoon.

The NFL is immediately suspending Haynesworth for 5 games without pay. That's it. As far as the NFL is concerned, Haynesworth is eligible to return to the field on November 19th.

Titans' coach Jeff Fisher had said that if the NFL's punishment were insufficient, the Titans would take the matter into their own hands. Unfortunately, Fisher says he believes "what the league has done right now is adequate."

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell understands "There is absolutely no place in the game, or anywhere else, for the inexcusable action that occurred in (Sunday's) Titans-Cowboys game;" however, Goodell saw clear to punish Haynesworth only 5 games.

Financially, Haynesworth will lose a mere $190,070. Apparently, Haynesworth is actually deliberating whether or not he will appeal the suspension.

Great!

Here's the plan.

Professional sports ought to immediately implement a plan whereby players who disgrace themselves and the game (drugs, alcohol, assault and other crimes) are presented with their penalties by the League. The player should then have the option of immediately accepting their routine pittance of a punishment, or the player can appeal... to a panel of fans.

Sure, I know fans are not "peers" (if we want to stay in line with the American jury system), but the NFL, MLB and other professional sporting organizations consistently demonstrate their inability to effectively deal with their rule and law-breaking athletes.

I want to be first on Haynesworth's panel. I'd give him nothing less than a lifetime suspension from the NFL, all of its facilities, and revoke any privileges he may have had in using the NFL (and associated teams) name - meaning he may not profit from activities where he is billed as a former NFL player a la OJ Simpson. On his way out the door, he would have to apologize to his victim in front of a full stadium on Gurode's home field.

Perhaps I'm a dreamer... suggesting that the NFL, MLB, etc.. grow a sac and actually punish their players who, like Haynesworth, repeatedly demonstrate their disregard for the law, the rules, and the safety of their fellow players.

In this case, the only thing more disgraceful than Haynesworth's inexcusable attack - is the NFL'S even more-inexcusable "punishment."
