Ugly Gun Sunday

Let's just say that the taste that went into the adornment was equal to the morals of the previous owner. Tip of the hat to (and more info at) Unblinkingeye.

Oooooh, the Irony

We recently had a PC ruckus. One of our members, an Idealistic Young Man, thought he would help break the monotony of our daily routine by posting a "this day in history" in our e-mail during the working week. So, he suscribed to an internet service to get his daily information from. Which worked nicely for the past month. Until July 13th. Apparently not much has happened on the 13th, historically speaking. So there was a lot of filler. Including the birthday of Nathan Bedford Forrest. Which IYM didn't give much thought to. A lot of other people did. For noting the birthday of Gen. Forrest, IYM got a visit from the equal opportunity NCO, since she received many visits shortly after the post went up. Now, from a personal perspective, I don't see much point in getting riled on noting the birthday of someone who, from my point, isn't particulary admirable. There's a difference between noting an event, and approving of something the event led to later. Shall we airbrush all the picture of NBF out of textbooks next? How about R.E. Lee? Or the founding fathers, since many of them participated in a system the civil war ended? (disclaimer at end of post, in case you're one of those people just looking to be offended)

But this is the military. So after a long lecture on sensitivity, IYM was allowed to go on his way, suitably chastened.

But why is the ironic? IYM spent a week of his personal leave time campaigning for Obama. He can't tolerate any display of racism. And he's a hard-core leftwinger.

I wonder if he's learned anything about the price PC costs all of us. I doubt it.

(For the record, as we've come to this these days: I'm neither a racist nor a bigot. I DO NOT believe in inherent superiority/inferiority due to melanin content, continent of origin, or cultural background. I'm in favor of judging (yes, judging) individuals on the merits I find of value, such as honesty, fair play, integrity, and the desire to better one's self. And if you think that's wrong, I don't much give a damn about your opinion)

So That's Their Idea of a Hero

On April 22, 1979, Kuntar's terror cell reached the shore of Nahariya in a rubber dinghy; they shot at a police car and killed an Israeli police officer. At midnight they broke into the Haran family home, and abducted the father, Danny, and his four-year-old daughter, Einat. The mother, Smadar, the two-year-old daughter Yael, and a neighbor hid in a bedroom crawlspace.

The terrorists took the hostages towards the shore and, when they encountered law enforcement officers and IDF soldiers, Samir Kuntar shot Danny Haran at close range and cold-bloodedly slaughtered Einat by bashing her skull against a rock with the butt of his rifle. In the hiding place at the Haran home, baby Yael suffocated to death from her mother’s attempts to keep her quiet so the terrorists would not find them.

The local CNN channel is showing live feeds from the big Hezbollah celebration in Lebanon. Celebrating men who's highest achievement was murdering unarmed civilians, including a four year old girl. How many generations of inbreeding does it take to sink to this level of degeneration?

Samir Kuntar, Child Murderer and Hero of Hezbollah

ApparentlyIsrael tortured the hell out this bastard by overfeeding him on high cholesterol foods, by looking at him on the stage. He still has the glazed sociopath/zealot look of his image above, but with extra chins. Very sharp in his brand-new Hezbollah fatigues, taking in the cheering masses in Beirut.

Now we have the head of of Hezbollah ranting on TV about their victory over Zionism, the new strategy they'll be pursuing, and the return of the moldering corpses of their 199 "martyrs" to the cause of slaughtering Jews over the years. The crowd is ecstatic. I'm wishing there was a way to drop a daisy-cutter in the middle of the square.

Hezbollah head sociopath Nasrallah & anonymous friend

I sincerely look forward to reading about these two having an explosive accident in the future. Hopefully it will be an extended, painful experience for them both.

Horribly Cheesy, Yet Shamefully Enjoyable...

GORBACHEV: THE MUSIC VIDEO - BIGGER AND RUSSIANER from Tom Stern on Vimeo.

..like an enchilada from Taco John's at 2 AM in the morning after an Ouzo binge.

Boobs, zombies, and commies. Sounds like the short definition of the DNC, but it's some kind of god-awful video I watched over at Ace of Spades. It's like MST 3000 crossed with MTV.

Ugly Gun Sunday

Nothing say quality like grips full of steel #6 shot!

Oops.

I actually forgot today was Sunday. Here in Sandystan, Sunday is Monday. And in my defense, I got into an online grad school that I'm desperately trying to keep current in. So, I will find a visual atrocity tomorrow, in between black funks and panic attacks........
