Dishonoring the Oath

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAfzUOx53Rg

Beyond belief.

Police officers masquerading as protestors, trying to start a riot.

It’s dishonoring their oath and oathbreakers should not be allowed to wear the uniform. Period.

It’s one thing to be undercover, I certainly get the need for that - but inciting riots? The commanding officer that either ordered this or ‘winked at it’ should be arrested and tried for conspiracy. 

The worst terrorists in the world are those that believe any means to an end is justified.

The Surrete is flirting with disaster here. The could easily lose the trust of the people and come to be considered a threat by the population - losing their active support. Any good police officer will tell you that having the support of the people you’re policing is crucial to performing the job.

Doddering

Time to Go

Watching  John Warner speaking to the press today, all I could think was ‘doddering, senile fool.’ He maundered and wandered and pretty much underlined why he desperately needs to step aside - his brain is (and has been) gone for quite some time.

Gunny’s Sacks

How to put Gunny Bob’s head on a pike

Great post over at Square State

Check it out.

Part 2 of a series on Denver talk show host “Gunny” Bob Newman. For part 1, go here: I want Gunny Bob’s head on a pike!

To recap, these would be the headlines Gunny Bob would expect me to write were his rantings actually true. Following in Bill O’Reilly’s footsteps Gunny attacked attendees of the YearlyKos Convention weeks ago here and here comparing us to Nazis, the KKK, and Muslim terrorists.

“Gunny” Bob Newman on his August 2 broadcast called the 2007 YearlyKos Convention a “convention of hatred and intolerance,” adding, “If you want to see hate, urged violence, bigotry, racism, and intolerance in general, and anti-American speech, this is the event.” Newman then called the convention, organized by the Daily Kos blog, “bigger than any KKK, Nazi, or Muslim terrorist gathering … that has ever occurred”

Later in Gunny’s August 6th show he claimed DailyKos founder Markos Moulistas “lamented” on the front page of his site about the hate speech there. It’s actually quite easy check that. Here’s everything Markos posted during that week and I found nothing of the sort. In case Gunny got a little confused, I also looked through the diaries of the other front pagers and found no mention.

Hypocrisy Defined

Bush invokes ‘tragedy of Vietnam’ against Iraq pullout.

KANSAS CITY, Missouri (CNN) — President Bush drew parallels between the aftermath of the Vietnam War and the potential costs of pulling out of Iraq in a speech Wednesday.

“Three decades later, there is a legitimate debate about how we got into the Vietnam War and how we left,” Bush told members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, at their convention in Kansas City, Missouri.

“Whatever your position in that debate, one unmistakable legacy of Vietnam is that the price of America’s withdrawal was paid by millions of innocent citizens, whose agonies would add to our vocabulary new terms like ‘boat people,’ ‘re-education camps’ and ‘killing fields,’ “ the president said.

I simply cannot believe this man. He ducked his own National Guard service which he used to duck out of his own Vietnam service, now he’s ducking responsibility for the carnage in Iraq by comparing it to Vietnam.

I don’t know about you, but to me, that is the definition of rank hypocrisy.

Gun Crazy

Good grief.

Colorado’s damn near still in Wild West days. The gun laws in this state are a joke.

If Columbine didn’t prove that, nothing ever will.

Presidents Should not be Cowards

From the Presidential Advance Manual of the Bush Administration:

“As a last resort, security should remove the demonstrators from the event,” the manual instructs. The government turned over a heavily redacted version of the manual to the ACLU in the course of the lawsuit. Read the rest of this entry »

Cultural Warfare

From AmericaBlog:

God’s Warriors and the homegrown ‘Battle Cry’
by Pam Spaulding · 8/18/2007 01:30:00 AM ET

CNN’s upcoming Christiane Amanpour documentary on religious extremism in Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, “God’s Warriors,” airs starting on Tuesday. Right here in the U.S. we have an example of one of those warriors, Ron Luce, whose call to action to retake America from the “virtue terrorists” (gays, pro-choice supporters, etc.) is “Battle Cry,” a youth crusade that Amanpour visits at its stop in San Francisco.
