From the Weekly Standard:
Allen West on the Marines Incident: 'Shut Your Mouth, War Is Hell'
1:37 PM, Jan 13, 2012 • By DANIEL HALPER
Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.), a former Army lieutenant colonel, sends THE WEEKLY STANDARD an email commenting on the Marines' video, and has given us permission to publish it.
“I have sat back and assessed the incident with the video of our Marines urinating on Taliban corpses. I do not recall any self-righteous indignation when our Delta snipers Shugart and Gordon had their bodies dragged through Mogadishu. Neither do I recall media outrage and condemnation of our Blackwater security contractors being killed, their bodies burned, and hung from a bridge in Fallujah.
“All these over-emotional pundits and armchair quarterbacks need to chill. Does anyone remember the two Soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division who were beheaded and gutted in Iraq?
“The Marines were wrong. Give them a maximum punishment under field grade level Article 15 (non-judicial punishment), place a General Officer level letter of reprimand in their personnel file, and have them in full dress uniform stand before their Battalion, each personally apologize to God, Country, and Corps videotaped and conclude by singing the full US Marine Corps Hymn without a teleprompter.
“As for everyone else, unless you have been shot at by the Taliban, shut your mouth, war is hell.”

Misguided student with no class skip class
Tucson, AZ
100 misguided high school students walk out of class in Tucson
Approximately 100 Cholla High Magnet School students walked out of class and walked about 4 miles to TUSD (Tucson Unified School District) headquarters to protest the elimination of Mexican American Studies course there.
‘Mexican American Studies’ is code for, anti-American rhetoric and racism studies for the young skulls full of mush. TUSD was ordered to eliminate the course when it was found to violate state laws that prohibits overthrow of the government (ours), racism (the course pushed an agenda that suggested America stole Arizona from Mexico – untrue and solidarity for a particular race. As a matter of fact La Raza means, the race.
Photos of protesting students showed one young Latino with a red bandana over his face, pumping his fist in the air, ala Che Guevara, that fine individual so popular with revolutionaries and the Hollywood left. You know, the one responsible for raping and murdering his own people.
We heard quotes from protestors saying, despite a court order to eliminate or lose about $15 million in state funding, this was not going to stop them. They promised something ‘big’ is going to happen on the 15th. When asked if that was a threat the response was, “Yes!”
TUSD assistant superintendent Lupita Cavazos-Garcia is quoted as saying, “We wanted to let the students know that we care about them and their education, and we’re trying to make sound decision.”
Here’s a news flash for you, Ms. Cavazos-Garcia – you can start by giving them what us taxpayers are paying for – a REAL education and not a radical indoctrination. The Mexican American Studies course had nothing to do with helping kids prepare themselves for going out into the job market. What it did was teach them the same basic principles that our current ‘blamer-in-chief’ exposes, that they can’t make it because Americans are giving them a raw deal. The only thing the classes taught them was hatred, how to wear a red bandana with your fist pumped in the air, how to skip class without consequences and how to take part in mob mentality in the face of a court order (again, without consequences. We wouldn’t want to appear to be racist for enforcing the same rules that would be enforced if it were Asian, Indian, black or white students doing the same).
Let’s be clear… They had no class to begin with. These kids have been coached by adult teachers and La Raza leaders and would be more than happy to protest the closing of a buggy whip factory if it would get them out of class and in front of TV cameras.
The Arizona Daily Star article said it was not clear if the students would face consequences or not. Let me help you out – NO, they won’t. They have learned from past experience that they won’t. There are too many prominent leaders in the Mexican-heritage community who would bring even more charges of racism if that were to happen. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
This has nothing to do with racism and it’s time we start holding people accountable. The race card is always played when folks find out we know the facts. Suddenly those who bring up legitimate questions and concerns are faced with defending themselves against charges of racism instead of dealing with the facts. I, for one am unwilling to get pulled into that ploy.
The facts are what they are and it’s time we start holding people accountable – including teachers who coach these kids to engage in these acts.

Don't know if this letter is ligit, but I like it.
Darn good ideas!
This was written by a 21 yr old female who gets it. It's her future shes
worried about and this is how she feels about the social welfare big
government state that shes being forced to live in! These solutions are
just common sense in her opinion.
This was in the Waco Tribune Herald, Waco , TX Nov 18, 2010
Put me in charge . . .
Put me in charge of food stamps. I'd get rid of Lone
Star cards; no cash for Ding Dongs or Ho Ho's, just money for 50-pound
bags of rice and beans, blocks of cheese and all the powdered milk you
can haul away. If you want steak and frozen pizza, then get a job.
Put me in charge of Medicaid. The first thing I'd do
is to get women Norplant birth control implants or tubal ligations.
Then, we'll test recipients for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine and
document all tattoos and piercings. If you want to reproduce or use
drugs, alcohol, smoke or get tats and piercings, then get a job.
Put me in charge of government housing. Ever live in a military barracks?
You will maintain our property in a clean and good
state of repair. Your "home" will be subject to inspections anytime and
possessions will be inventoried. If you want a plasma TV or Xbox 360,
then get a job and your own place.
In addition, you will either present a check stub from
a job each week or you will report to a "government" job. It may be
cleaning the roadways of trash, painting and repairing public housing,
whatever we find for you. We will sell your 22 inch rims and low profile
tires and your blasting stereo and speakers and put that money toward
the common good..
Before you write that I've violated someone's rights,
realize that all of the above is voluntary. If you want our money,
accept our rules.. Before you say that this would be "demeaning" and
ruin their "self esteem," consider that it wasn't that long ago that
taking someone else's money for doing absolutely nothing was demeaning
and lowered self esteem.
If we are expected to pay for other people's mistakes
we should at least attempt to make them learn from their bad choices.
The current system rewards them for continuing to make bad choices.
AND While you are on Govt subsistence, you no longer
can VOTE! Yes that is correct. For you to vote would be a conflict of
interest. You will voluntarily remove yourself from voting while you are
receiving a Govt welfare check. If you want to vote, then get a job.

Calls For Tougher Gun Laws Following Killing Of Park Ranger
The suspect in the killing of a Mount Rainier National Park Ranger has been found dead, face-down in the snow, according to an Associated Press story.
Although identification of the body has yet to be confirmed, it is believed that the body is that of 24-year-old Benjamin Colton Barnes.
Much has been made of Barnes being an Iraq veteran, supposedly suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD), after deploying to Iraq from 2007-2008. The mother of his child said in a signed affidavit that Barnes got easily irritated, angry and depressed and kept an arsenal of weapons in his home. Hopefully, Pima County Sheriff, Clarence Dupnik doesn’t come out claiming ‘Right-wing’ radio, Rush Limbaugh and the Tea Party forced him to do it.
Let’s be clear – PTSD is a very real thing. It was generally associated with returning Viet Nam vets but we’re hearing more and more reports of returning Iraq vets suffering from the disorder. It is my hope that these men and women, as well as those Viet Nam vets who preceded them, be given REAL help from the Veterans Administration and not JUST drugs to make them go away.
My problem with this story, aside from the obvious, that innocent people died is how the loons want to spin the story. I can see it already – ‘Returning Iraq vet goes on shooting rampage.’ The inference being all returning combat vets should be suspect and considered ‘ticking time-bombs’, just waiting to go off.
There are many thousands of combat vets in our midst who are very well adjusted and not a threat to society. The fact that something like this is a big news story when it happens is a testament to how rare these instances are.
While we’re on the subject of ‘spin’… Bill Wade, the outgoing chair of the Coalition of National Park Service Retirees, is quoted in the AP article as saying Congress should be regretting its decision to allow loaded weapons in national parks. It is his hope that Congress will reconsider the law that took effect in early 2010.
Illogical, reactionary claims, like that of Wades aren’t exactly new. As a matter-of-fact we can count on hearing more of them, ala: Gabby Giffords syndrome. There are those, like Wade who probably believe the nonsense they’re asserting. There are others who subscribe to the Rahm Emanuel school of thought that claims, “Never let crisis go to waste.” They will claim this tragedy as a nexus for tougher gun laws.
Who in their right mind believes Barnes was anything BUT in his right mind? Is there anyone but these anti-gun fanatics who believes this whack-job really gave whether it was illegal to carry a loaded firearm into Mount Rainier?
The park gets estimated 1.5 million and 2 million visitors to the park each year, according to the article. Let’s do the math on that one, shall we? That computes out to 3 million to 4 million people since the law permitted carrying of loaded firearms in the park 2 years ago. One nut job out of 3 million to 4 million visitors who certainly didn’t put whether it was or wasn’t legal to carry a loaded or not in the park. Let me see if I have this correct, Bill – Barnes had no qualms about wounding four people earlier in the day and murdering a National Park Ranger but you believe a law prohibiting him from carrying a loaded firearm into the park would have prevented this tragedy. Do I have that about right? Do you have any idea how illogical that sounds?
There will always be people who either honestly erroneously believe that a gun law will prevent tragedies like this from happening or others who will use them to exploit in an effort to get stricter gun laws. Both factions must be seen for what they are and challenged.
There are those who actually believe we can simply pass gun laws, ban firearms and the world will become a utopian world where no one will ever have to fear violence of any form. I have one thing to say to those folks – you’re stupid! If you think cops carry a firearm to protect you, you’re equally stupid. Cops carry a firearm to protect themselves; not YOU. Does that tell you anything? Probably not.
My suggestion is to take a course in, LOGIC 101 and see if your statements make any sense at all before your blurt them out.

Was Fraud Used In Indiana County To Get Obama On The Ballot?
There are some folks in a Indiana county that are more than a bit peeved to find out their signatures were forged on a petition to get Obama on the ballot.
Seems St. Joseph County Board of Voter Registration worker Dustin Blythe has been identified as having identical handwriting to the forged signatures.
When asked about the fact the signatures were forged and the handwriting matched his, Blythe said, "No comment."
There is no doubt in my mind that the 2008 Presidential election was the most corrupt in American history.

Quote Of The Day
Dennis Miller clearly gets my vote for quote of the day.
While on Fox's O'Reilly Factor, Miller quipped, "Rod Blagojevich got 14 years in the big house for doing the same thing that Obama got 4 years in the White House for doing."

NAACP Claims Minority Vote Is Being Suppressed
NAACP Claims Minority Vote Is Being Suppressed In Upcoming Election
The nation’s largest civil rights organization is claiming foul and it’s taking its case to the United Nations. I guess “There ain’t no cure for the summertime blues” when it comes to the NAACP.
As Rush Limbaugh says, “It should be called the NAALCP – The National Association of LIBERAL colored people.” Why is that, you ask? Because they only defend LIBERAL black – not Conservative blacks. We saw how the NAACP took Conservative blacks like Clearance Thomas and Herman Cain to task. They were accused of being sellouts and “Uncle Toms”.
The NAACP claims individual states in the U.S. are making a concerted effort to prevent the black vote from getting out in the upcoming 2012 Presidential election, citing a whole plethora of new voting laws at the state level. They say 14 states passed 25 measures “designed to restrict or limit the ballot access of voters of color.”
So, what are these new proposed draconian laws and how will they prevent ‘voters of color’ from voting? The proposed laws, largely passed by Republican-dominated legislatures include such egregious things as requirement to present photo ID at the polls, voting restrictions of felons and limitations on registration and early voting periods.
Why, those are the same regulations that the rest of us are subjected to! That’s not fair! Those bastards!
Does anyone remember how Al Franken was elected? I’ll refresh your memory. Ultra Liberal Al Franken demanded a recount of the votes. The recount went on for months. Every time they would recount the votes, Franken would amazingly get more votes and his opponent, Coleman, wouldn’t. Statistically realistic? Not so much.
Anyway, Franken eeked ahead of Coleman and was declared the winner and sworn in just prior to a critical vote needed by the Democrats. Oh, by-the-way, it was later determined that Franken really wasn’t the winner because he was pushed over by a number of felon voters who weren’t eligible to vote. They said it was tough, though because he’d already been sworn in.
How ‘bout the shenanigans of ACORN? Voter fraud, you ask? Just a LOT! How about voter intimidation at polling places by members of the New Black Panther movement? Well, sure, but it was important to make sure America’s ‘first black President’ was elected. BTW, his mother is white. Like, OMG!, as they say in texting vernacular.
Of course our U.S. Attorney General, Eric Holder refuses to prosecute those members of the New Black Panther Movement for standing outside a polling place, openly holding night sticks in their hands, intimidating voters going into the poling place. Eric Holder has a track record of not prosecuting a number of folks that he believes to be for the betterment of our current administration. He allegedly claims that he is black, first and U.S. Attorney General, second. If he believes that way, he’s certainly convinced me.
Well the NAACP is certainly not going to stand for such measures. They intend on arguing their case before the UN. Guys, I have a news flash for you… The UN has no authority over individual states in the U.S.; at least not yet. Obama and the Dems would like to change that, however. You see they want to change any and all rules to keep them in power, without regard to consequences.
I liken them to a collaborator in war. They think they will be looked upon favorably if anything bad happens. Of course nothing bad could happen as long as they keep those dumb ol’ Republicans out of office. And Obama will be re-elected because he has his record to run on. Wait, maybe the Dems do have a problem, after all.
