Another one of my personal heroes surfaces here. The intrepid Colonel Shoup. A cussing, stogie-chomping hard-charging leader of Marines. He was an old China hand and one tough Leatherneck. He's buried in Arlington, For a great book on the seizure of Tarawa, give USMC Colonel Alexander's book, "Utmost Savagery" a read.

                
               Colonel David M. Shoup USMC

 The President of the United States takes pride in presenting the MEDAL OF HONOR to:

for service as set forth in the following

CITATION:

For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his own life above and beyond the call of duty as Commanding Officer of all Marine Corps Troops in action against enemy Japanese forces on Betio Island, Tarawa Atoll, Gilbert Islands, from November 20 to 22, 1943. Although severely shocked by an exploding enemy shell soon after landing at the pier, and suffering from a serious, painful leg wound which had become infected, Colonel Shoup fearlessly exposed himself to the terrific, relentless artillery, machine-gun and rifle fire from hostile shore emplacements and, rallying his hesitant troops by his own inspiring herosim, gallantly led them across the fringing reefs to charge the heavily fortified island and reinforce our hard-pressed, thinly held lines. Upon arrival on shore, he assumed command of all landed troops and, working without rest under constant, withering enemy fire during the next two days, conducted smashing attacks against unbeliveable strong and fanatically defended Japanese positions despite innumerable obstacles and heavy casualties. By his brilliant leadership, daring tactics and selfless devotion to duty, Colonel Shoup was largely responsible for the final, decisive defeat of the enemy, and his indomitable fighting spirit reflects great credit upon the United States Naval Service.


The future 22d Commandant of the
United States Marine Corps
 
Col Shoup's famous message from Tarawa.

  A killer storm hit the midwest and left thousands of people hunkered down in emergency shelters and thousands stuck it out in darkened homes after a winter storm that left 54 dead in nine states. About 320,000 homes and businesses in several states were still without electricity late Tuesday after a storm that brought ice, snow, flooding and high winds to a swath of the country from Washington to Maine.

  Proponents of Global Warmings have now changed their tunes.

  "We're gonna be seeing more cold weather now that winter is here." Noted Global Warming advocate Ima Idjit said. She added, "our predictions of an impending Ice Age back in the 70's, which switched to Global Warming in the 90's and early 21st Century, have now switched back to the old Ice Age theory."

  Subfreezing temperatures were expected to continue in the Midwest for another several years or so, said Global Warming advocate and noted Meteorologist Harry Numbnuts. "Get used to it," he stated, "We're going to have to move underground in order to escape Gaia's wrath for being evil human beings."

"There are no services," one resident said. "I've talked to poeple who have lived here 50 years and nobody can remember it ever being this bad. I'm digging my home right now," he pointed to a huge hole in the ground.

   Lincoln DID have to deal with the Civil War and bungled the first several YEARS by putting in one incompetent idiot after another to lead the Army of the Potomac. Maybe his LACK of military experience played a part here, just like Barack Obama's LACK OF MILITARY EXPERIENCE will.

   We've already had a draft-dodger who gave us YEARS of military meals-on-wheels feel good programs as a foreign policy as well as a busted military machine. Do we REALLY want another idiot like The Impeached One in the White House?

   Lincoln was a great President for keeping the Union together and ending the evil of slavery. He kept to the Constitution and had the balls to banish Habeas Corpus during the Civil War. Idiots like Obama and the rest of the Dhimmicrats can only be counted on for one thing, limited OUR war effort, not the Islamofascists. 


Oh, I'm sooooo Pretty. An
empty-headed Socialist
but pretty nonetheless.

   The Dhimmicrats and the Lame Stream Media are all agog at this latest empty suit, flash-in-the-pan coming from the Left. They say that he is clean politically, has a clean slate, etc, etc, ad barfdom. Well guess what?

Obama was one of the weasels that voted FOR the Senate Amnesty Bill which passed in May 2006. (It's up to the House to kill this trash.)

Here is what Obama voted for:  

1. The LARGEST amnesty in our history. ILLEGAL aliens who have been in the U.S. for more than 5 years would be given citizenship and those who have been here between 2 and 5 years would receive foreign worker cards with a path to citizenship. Any illegals here LESS THAN two years would just pack up and go home. (Yeah right!) In addition, this bill ALLOWS THE USE OF PAY STUBS AND UTILITY BILLS to prove how long illegal aliens have been in the U.S.. CAN YOU SPELL S*C*A*M!?
2. Amnesty now, enforcement...NEVER. The Senate abandons the House's enforcement-first approach in favor of granting massive amnesty now and phasing in security and enforcement provisions over time. The same chronology was used in 1986. Twenty years later, more than 10 million illegal aliens have entered the U.S. and law enforcement has been negligible.
3. THE FLOOD CONTINUES! The Heritage Foundation estimated last week that the Senate plan would result in 66 million additional legal immigrants into the U.S. over the next 20 years.
4. Minimal interior enforcement. The Senate bill does not overturn so-called sanctuary city policies that purposefully violate federal law by refusing to assist law enforcement on immigration matters. It allows unscrupulous employers to pay no back taxes and no fines or penalties for hiring illegal aliens (even though the illegal aliens are forced to pay their own back taxes). And the bill provides numerous new benefits for illegal aliens including the right to Social Security benefits and taxpayer-subsidized tuition rates at colleges and universities.

Bottom Line: Renounce your citizenship and become an illegal. You'll be better off.

Dana Rohrbacher's analysis of this BULLSH*T! 

• In-state tuition for illegal aliens. Your kid has to pay full freight if they cross state lines, but the illegal alien who broke into the country doesn't.
• All temporary guest workers have to be paid the prevailing wage. American citizens do not have to be paid prevailing wage.
• All agricultural guest workers under this bill cannot be fired by their employers except for what the bill calls "just cause." However, American agricultural workers can be fired for any reason.
• Illegal aliens are made eligible for Social Security. Not only will they receive retirement benefits, but their children will receive survivor benefits should the parents pass away. This is at a time when we are trying to keep Social Security solvent for the next generation.
• Expands the visa lottery program, which is itself a questionable way to make visa distribution decisions.
• Employers of illegal aliens get amnesty, too. Employers would be exempt from civil and criminal tax and criminal liability under immigration law. God forbid we hold employers accountable for helping illegal aliens break the law and being the magnet that has drawn them here for years.
• Taxpayer dollars to radical immigrant-rights groups so they can help illegal aliens adjust their status. Millions of your tax dollars will go to the same groups that organized those rallies where people who came here illegally waved foreign flags and thumbed their noses at our laws.

 Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) lists his top ten reasons for voting against it (see his website (http://demint.senate.gov/index.cfm?FuseAction=PressReleases.Detail&PressRelease_id=380) for supporting details):

1. Rewards Illegal Behavior
2. Creates Temporary Worker Program That is Neither Temporary Nor Work-Based
3. Unprecedented Wave of Immigrants — 66 Million Over 20 Years
4. Insufficient Border Security
5. Terrorist Loophole Disarms Law Enforcement
6. Social Security Benefits, Tax Credits for Illegal Work
7. Costs Over $50 Billion A Year to Federal Government; States Foot The Bill for Immigrant Health Care
8. Hurts Small Businesses
9. Gives Some Immigrant Workers Greater Job Protection Than American Workers
10. Weak Assimilation/English Requirements (BIG BIG PROBLEM)

What the human locust leave behind for US to
clean up!

   I have received several emails and comments on various other articles and decided to do a little research on where we went wrong in the fight against treason and outright scumbaggery. Guess what I found? Part One.

   "If you understood what communism was, you would hope, you would pray on your knees that we would some day become communist... I, a socialist, think that we should strive toward a socialist society, all the way to communism."

   Wonder who said that? No other than Hanoi Jane Fonda herself. Yep, the Tokyo Rose of the Left. 

   It was not enough that Hanoi Jane traveled around the country with other Hollywood elites, spitting on the troops and working 24/7 to crush their morale. Nope, Hanoi Jane took that extra step.

   Review:

1.  1970. Fonda and nutjob leftist Canuckistani Donald Sutherland, join forces to form a sort of anti-USO called FTA (F**K the Army). Their mission? Touring military towns along the then-West (now Left) Coast and throughout the Pacific, doing whatever it took to demoralize the troops.

2.  1972. Hanoi Jane earns her nickname when she traveled to North Vietnam and posed for photos on an anti-aircraft gun used to shoot down American planes.

3.  1972. Hanoi Jane also made radio broadcasts from Hanoi, (reminicent of Tokyo Rose) and her mission was to destroy the morale of American soldiers. She COMPARED the USA to fascist Germany, ACCUSED the USA of war crimes, and CALLED the President a "new-type of Hitler!

4.  1972. She also urged South Vietnamese soldiers to desert. Those soldiers fighting against communist oppression, that would kill 100 million people in the 20th Century. (AND SHE DID IT ALL FROM BEHIND ENEMY LINES DURING A WAR!)

5.  2003-Present. The Queen of Scumbags continues to plague America by protesting the Iraqi War and championing the Palestinian vermin.

   Libcommies like Kucinich really are a walking joke. He wants to reform the media! Great. There is only one problem however, The Commie piece of camel dung wants to go after talk radio, the one area that the libdolts can't win over to their side like yammering bobbleheads like Couric, and memo-forgers like Dan Blather.  

   The Presidential candidate said that the committee would be holding "hearings to push media reform right at the center of Washington.” The Domestic Policy Subcommittee of the House Government Reform Committee was to be officially announced this week in Washington, D.C., but Kucinich opted to make the news public early.

   In addition to media ownership, the committee is expected to focus its attention on issues such as net neutrality and major telecommunications mergers. Also in consideration is the "Fairness Doctrine," which required broadcasters to present controversial topics in a fair and honest manner. It was enforced until it was eliminated in 1987.

   What that REALLY means is that guys like Rush Limbaugh, Neal Boortz, Mancow, Savage, Laura Ingrham, and many others are literally kicking the stuffings out of the libcommie agenda and they don't like it. And since they cannot COMPETE, ala Air America, they have to legislate what they want. Just like their agenda can only get the low IQ Americans to buy into their "gimme-gimme for free" doctrine, they use activist judges to legislate from the bench. America's libcommies are a stench in the nostrils of this nation and Kucinich smells like a week-old corpse rotting in the sun. 

   Kucinich said in his speech that: "We know the media has become the servant of a very narrow corporate agenda," and added, "we are now in a position to move a PROGRESSIVE agenda to where it is visible."

   PROGRESSIVE = COMMUNISM

   Doctor Curly Howard states that Dennis Kucinich has his head so far up his a** that the lump in his throat is his HEAD!

   The new scumbag running the ITU at the UN is calling for MORE UN control of the Internet and LESS by the country who invented it. Yep, socialist pigs at the corrupt and irrelevant UN want to control our invention. In their words, they want to narrow the divide between the rich and the poor as it pertains to Internet usage.

Spell that: GLOBAL TAX ON OUR INTERNET.

   Why the H*LL we have not kicked these scumbags out of the USA and dropped out of this bloated bureaucracy is beyond me.

 
LET'S TAX THE USA, I NEED
A NEW MERCEDES!

   The Internet should continue to be overseen by major agencies including ICANN and the ITU, rather than any new "superstructure", the new head of the International Telecommunications Union said on Friday. Hamadoun Toure, who took up the reins of the United Nations agency this month, said the ITU would focus on tackling cyber-security and in narrowing the "digital divide" between rich and poor countries.

• Wednesday, the House voted to raise the minimum wage from $5.15 to $7.25 per hour.
• The bill extends the federal minimum wage to the U.S. territory of the Northern Mariana Islands. However, it exempts American Samoa, another Pacific island territory that would become the only U.S. territory not subject to federal minimum-wage laws.
• One of the biggest opponents of the federal minimum wage in Samoa is StarKist Tuna, which owns one of the two packing plants that together employ more than 5,000 Samoans, or nearly 75 percent of the island's work force. StarKist's parent company, Del Monte Corp.
• Del Monte has headquarters in San Francisco, which is represented by Mrs. Pelosi.

  "There's something fishy going on here," said Rep. Patrick T. McHenry, North Carolina Republican. 
   
   Some Republicans who voted in favor of the minimum-wage bill were particularly irritated to learn yesterday -- after their vote -- that the legislation did not include American Samoa. 
   
   "I was troubled to learn of this exemption," said Rep. Mark Steven Kirk, Illinois Republican. "My intention was to raise the minimum wage for everyone. We shouldn't permit any special favors or exemptions that are not widely discussed in Congress. This is the problem with rushing legislation through without full debate." 

  
 OOPS! DID I DO THAAAAAAAAAT?

Hey Red Nancy, two plus two still equals four.

   There are no bigger set of balls than those on a Navy Corpsman, in combat, attending to wounded Marines, usually under heavy and intensive enemy fire. The Japanese especially targeted Corpsman knowing that if they managed to wound or kill a Corpsman, wounded Marines would end up dying due to lack of medical care. Thus our next profile in courage.

for service as set forth in the following

CITATION:

For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while serving with the 2d Battalion, 26th Marines, 5th Marine Division, during action against enemy Japanese forces on Iwo Jima in the Volcano group on 3 March 1945. Painfully wounded in the bitter action on 26 February, Petty Officer Wahlen remained on the battlefield, advancing well forward of the frontlines to aid a wounded Marine and carrying him back to safety despite a terrific concentration of fire. Tireless in his ministrations, he consistently disregarded all danger to attend his fighting comrades as they fell under the devastating rain of shrapnel and bullets, and rendered prompt assistance to various elements of his combat group as required. When an adjacent platoon suffered heavy casualties, Petty officer Wahlen defied the continuous pounding of heavy mortars and deadly fire of enemy rifles to care for the wounded, working rapidly in an area swept by constant fire and treating 14 casualties before returning to his own platoon. Wounded again on 2 March, he gallantly refused evacuation, moving out with his company the following day in furious assault across 600 yards of open terrain and repeatedly rendering medical aid while exposed to the blasting fury of powerful Japanese guns. Stouthearted and indomitable, he persevered in his determined efforts as his unit waged fierce battle and, unable to walk after sustaining a third agonizing wound, resolutely crawled 50 yards to administer first aid to still another fallen fighter. By his dauntless fortitude and valor, Petty Officer Wahlen served as a constant inspiration and contributed vitally to the high morale of his company during critical phases of this strategically important engagement. By his heroic spirit, self-sacrificing efforts, and loyal devotion to duty, Petty Officer Wahlen reflected great credit upon himself and upheld the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.

   Chinese Leaders today thanked former President Bill Clinton as they unveiled their sleek new jet fighter, the Jian-10. One Chinese official stated: "without the help of Bill Clinton, there is no way that we could have created such a weapon of war, oops, for peace. Everyone knows that we Communists LOVE peace."
 
   Another Chinese celebrant had this to say: "It really helped that Bill Clinton's Administration cleared the way for the Cincinnati Corporation to sell us those 5-axis milling machines...then on the State Department's DO NOT EXPORT list. I know that we said we'd only use them to make commercial AIRLINERS but we did not think that Bill would believe that. We laughed when he did. He's such a good liar, we thought that he'd see through that one! haha. Thanks again Bill and Hill."

   The Jian-10 is powered by Chinese engines and firing Chinese precision-guided missiles, the locally built fighter has allowed China to become the fourth country in the world to have developed such a capability and has such as narrowed the gap with our enemies, oops, trading partners." This came from Geng Ruguang, the deputy general manager of the Jian-10's manufacturer, Avic-I. "Also, our cruise missile bodies are far more aerodynamically correct thanks to those 5-axis milling machines that we were given, er, sold. We simply can't thank you enough Bill."

   The plane is also a new symbol of China's role-reversal in the global arms industry. "Most technology analysts have been surprised by the speed with which China has gone from being an arms-buying country to one with real promise of being a producer of front-edge military technology," says one senior researcher at a Security Studies think-tank. "I mean if we get another Democrat in the White House, I'm sure that China will be able to surpass us with either stolen (Los Alamos) data or simply bought and paid for with campaign contributions to the DNC."

   Another Chinese General interviewed gave Bill Clinton kudos for the allowing Hutchinson-Whampoa Ltd to take charge of the Panama Canal. This front company for the Chinese Communists can now shut down the locks at will, thus forcing ships to sail around South America, like they had to before AMERICA dug the Canal. "If it wasn't for Bill Clinton," General Ho said, "we'd never have been able to shut America and her allies out of the Pacific so easily."

   Noted Chinese scientist and former Los Alamos spy, One Ho Lee, now back in Bejing laughed and said, "under Bill, is was too easy to steal secrets. Just copy them to a CD or heck, just lose the classified hard drive and say sorry. With Janet Reno running the FBI, we were covered six ways from Sunday! Now our missiles fly straighter and are more harder to trick with countermeasures thanks to the efforts of our friend, Bill Clinton."

   Chinese General Li also had this to say, "thanks to the Clinton Administration selling us those forty-seven high-speed computers, we can more easily target US cities with the nuclear-tipped missiles he gave us the plans to. Nothing like having a traitor working for you!" He laughed and turned to watch the new supersonic Jian-10 take off.
