Remote control murder

Paid for with your tax dollars:

Obama recently defended his controversial “drone campaign” in Pakistan as a “targeted, focused effort at people who are on a list of active terrorists,” adding that it “has not caused a huge number of civilian casualties.” Now, a shocking new report not only disputes that claim, but also reveals that the CIA has been using drones to deliberately target civilians, including rescuers and mourners at funerals.

Since Obama took office in 2009, “between 282 and 535 civilians have been credibly reported as killed, including more than 60 children,” writes Chris Woods of the London-based Bureau of Investigative Journalism.

And people wonder why we call DC a bloody empire.

Why is the cost of gas skyrocketing?

Because Obama, all the Republican candidates for president (except Ron Paul!), and Israel keep threatening war with Iran.

Yes, DC's insane foreign policy DOES affect our lives.

Mick Jagger sings "Commit a Crime" to Obama

C'mon, Mick! Obama has already signed the repeal of the Fifth and Sixth amendments. Don't give him any more ideas!

Man screaming "Allah is great!" on flight arrested

Sadly, bigoted Islamophobic passengers tackled him before seeing what he would do next. You know how xenophobes are - they just don't embrace "different" types of cultural expressions.

My favorite quote from a passenger: "He was screaming 'Allah is great! Allah is great!' you know, and it kinda worries you when that happens."

It would worry me, too.

Immigration enforcement program to be shut down

The Obama administration plans to smother the 287(g) program to death by de-funding it.

This action will not only set out the welcome mat to whoever and whatever wants to illegally enter this country, but will directly affect the crime rate in our communities:

Defenders of the program, such as Jessica Vaughan of the Center for Immigration Studies, say Homeland Security is "putting politics ahead of public safety" by cutting back the 287(g) program. She said Secure Communities is helpful but that local officers working in the field are better able to identify illegal immigrants who may not have their fingerprints in federal databases, making it harder to identify them.

She said some agencies such as the Colorado Department of Public Safety have used their 287(g) officers to suppress drug and human smuggling, gang activity and identity theft and said many sheriffs and police chiefs prefer the program to Secure Communities.

If we, the people, had a say in this, border security would be increased, rather than neutered. A vast majority of Americans realize the border is broken:

67% of U.S. voters say that military troops should be deployed to the Mexican border to prevent illegal immigration (Rasmussen, May 2010).
88% of Americans say more federal law enforcement officials are needed along Mexican border (CNN, May 2010).

Problem is, DC is controlled by big business, which can never get enough cheap and exploitable labor. That's why the only effective measures to stop illegal immigration are at the State and local level.

So - on one side is DC, which has sided with the invading army of illegals, and on the other side, us. Think the people of the States can win this battle without asserting State sovereignty? Better think again.

Tito Perdue's The Node at Intellectual Conservative

If you missed my review of The Node the other day, here it is at Intellectual Conservative.

Confederate Independence Day – 150 Years

From Confederate Colonel:

Today, February 22, 2012, marks 150 years since the beginning of the Confederate States of America. On February 22, 1862, Jefferson Finis Davis was inaugurated as President of the Confederate States of America, having been elected to that office on November 6, 1861.

Today, of all days, is when the Confederate flag should be proudly on display.

Former Congressman and Dukes of Hazzard Star Ben Jones Blasts Nascar Decision

Click image to Texas-size!
NASCAR has banned the "General Lee" Dodge Charger from the Phoenix Sprint Cup. It has the Confederate Battleflag on its roof, and therefore makes white liberals cry out of concern for blacks who may be frightened by the big, bad symbol.

Hypocritical nonsense, of course. So you have to admire the motives of former Georgia Congressman Ben Jones, who played "Cooter" in "The Dukes of Hazzard," which featured the "General Lee." And bless his heart, he does his level best to defend the South's most famous symbol:

"At a time when tens of millions of Americans are honoring their Union and Confederate ancestors during this Sesquicentennial of the Civil War, NASCAR has chosen to dishonor those Southerners who fought and died in that terrible conflict by caving to "political correctness" and the uninformed concerns of corporate sponsors.

This is also an extraordinary insult to rural Southerners, who are NASCAR's oldest and most fervent fan base, and it sends a message against inclusion and against the need for diversity. Many of us who are descended from ancestors who fought for the South see this as a crude dishonoring of our kinfolks and our heritage. Our ancestors were proud Americans who had fought for our Nation before the Civil War and have served honorably in every conflict since then."

Inclusion? Diversity?

As I've argued about "racism," "diversity" is a booby-trap. Using the term as a social ideal endorses the left/globalist agenda. "Racism" DOES NOT mean "attacking a person because of their race." In fact, many liberals and race racketeers argue that blacks cannot be racist since they don't have power over whites. (They don't?) Instead, the term smuggles certain leftist articles of faith into the conversation, including, "Expressions of white self-esteem harm blacks," and "White success is due to white privilege." Implicit in these assumptions is the idea that government must take action against whites in the name of social justice.

Similarly, "diversity" is a code word for "There's too many damn white people around here!" When you use the term, you rubber-stamp the evil ideology that invented it.

Mitt Romney Loves Cars, Lakes, & Trees...

THIS is the Republicans' last, best hope for the 2012 presidential election? Wow. Romney is the human equivalent of Gertrude Stein's epitaph of Oakland, California: "There is no there, there." He'll mouth whatever words, and gladly mutate into whatever it takes to win votes. Sad.

Violent crime in D.C. surges in 2012

This isn't surprising:

Violent crime so far this year in the District has spiked sharply — a 40 percent increase that includes twice as many robberies at gunpoint than at this time last year.

Across the city, all police districts are reporting increases in violent crime, and all but one have had double-digit percentage increases, according to internal Metropolitan Police Department documents. The documents contained preliminary crime data for the city as of Thursday.

Crime and DC go together like a hand in a glove. But the crime in DC is supposed to be committed inside the Capitol, not outside, where everyone can see it.

Democratic Civility in the news

First, Maxine Waters announces that Republicans are really "demons."

Now we hear that a pastor is convinced that Satan is behind opposition against Representative Jesse Jackson, Jr.

Here's a little background on JJJ. I think the pastor's got it backwards.

Megacities are good for the environment

Sure they are - read this report on how the grotesque concrete hell-hole called Los Angeles is sucking the California countryside dry:

Los Angeles' water wars continue, with the city suing the state in Superior Court, claiming that the state's demand for dust abatement at Owens Lake could cost taxpayers $1.5 billion.

The City of Los Angeles challenges the validity of Great Basin Unified Air Pollution Control District's dust pollution control program, under a section of the Health and Safety Code.

Los Angeles claims the program could cost $1.5 billion - "the most expensive dust control program in the entire nation, and likely the world."

Face it Buchanan, America is Changing

That's the title of a snippy retort to Pat Buchanan's Suicide of a Superpower. Specifically, it's a "Nyah-nyah!" to Buchanan's warning that white America is imperiled. Not only does the writer scoff at the consequences Buchanan foresees from demographic revolution, but even asserts the end of European America will be a good thing:

In other words, we can be confident that this ending will be yet another in a jarring series of gateways to an ever freer, richer, and more powerful future. Such optimism may be out of step with the spirit of the moment, but it is still the most reasonable and sober expectation of what’s in store for us.

We are too independent to tolerate the claustrophobic, manufactured unity of a top-down cultural mandate. Conservatives may score a few short term points selling Buchanan’s white Tribalism, but in America the “culture warriors” of each new generation always lose. In the long run his vision is a blueprint for little more or less than Republican political failure.

The nation, if necessary, will simply go on without us.

Typical liberal fluff? The kind of pathological altruism you'd expect from a hard-left Democrat? Maybe - but the writer, Chris Ladd, is the Republican Precinct Committeeman in DuPage County, Illinois. The site he's writing at is Frum Forum, a Neocon echo chamber.

Still think either of the major parties represents our best interests? Is it possible we need to start thinking and acting outside the box?

The box they want us in is a coffin. Pardon me if I resist.

Secede from Charlotte!

Finally - a living, breathing secession movement I can join! And right in my own back yard! Yes, there's a movement to secede from Charlotte:

The residents in South Charlotte should be represented by local governments that are responsive and accountable to their needs. Reverse annexation currently happens in North Carolina without widespread public attention. Separation from Charlotte can be done! It’s a matter of getting the General Assembly to take action. Many actions are ongoing. The final result could take several forms.

An unincorporated community in South Mecklenburg
A new incorporated town in South Mecklenburg
Separated areas merged with towns already in South Mecklenburg Such as Pineville, Matthews or Mint Hill
A mixture of the above

Just in time for the Democratic National Convention! Ha!

Insanity as the New Norm: A Review of Tito Perdue’s The Node

My review of Tito Perdue's latest novel, The Node, is now available at Conservative Heritage Times.

Paul: U.S. "slipping into a fascist system"

CBS News reports that Ron Paul is once again crying about the sky falling:

Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul warned the U.S. is "slipping into a fascist system" dominated by government and businesses as he held a fiery rally Saturday night upstaging established Republican Party banquets a short distance away.

The Texas congressman drew a couple thousand standing and chanting people to Kansas City's Union Station as the party's establishment dined on steak across the street at the Missouri GOP's annual conference. Kansas Republicans were holding a similar convention in a suburb across the state line. ...

"We've slipped away from a true Republic," Paul said. "Now we're slipping into a fascist system where it's a combination of government and big business and authoritarian rule and the suppression of the individual rights of each and every American citizen."

That Ron Paul. What a worry wart! Just because the federal government can now order the indefinite detention of its subjects, and pursues a militaristic foreign policy doesn't make DC a fascist government.

However, if Obama started wearing uniforms and a funny hat, we should worry.

Ed Sebesta watch

Whenever I get a case of the lazies, I go to Ed Sebesta's blog for easy targets. Once again, he has provided for me generously.

Here are some of his signature misspellings that jumped out from the screen:

- More an more people are beginning to grasp what a neo-Confederate historical consciousness is about.

- From Forum understands what neo-Confederacy is all about. [It's the Frum Forum.]

- I had this blog posting when the Council of Conservative Citizens were calling the Carthaginians Greeks in some pompos historical exposition.

- Or they searched the Internet to find some confused website which misrepresented Jackson's accomplishment and siezed upon it to be aggrevied.

- Did the Wright brothers invent the airplane or were they the first ones to figure out that you needed a gasoline engin to supply the power without excessive weight?

One of his blog entries questions a Council of Conservative Citizens' post which argues that, contrary to Black History Month hype, a black man did not invent ice cream. Sebesta counters that innovations are often the result of numerous improvements made by several people, and a process for manufacturing an invention is as significant as inventing it. That's a valid point. But look how he makes it:

I am focusing on this posting since as an engineer and a person who reads about the history of technological innovation I am better qualified to comment [on] it.

Wait - we're supposed to accept technological advice from a man who can't even figure out how to use spell check?

But then he offers this killer:

Well modern ice cream is a frozen desert so it doesn't match. Many things are chilled, but that is very different than frozen.

True. And a frozen dessert is very different from a frozen desert.


It's also true that Ed Sebesta is very different from an eloquent pundit.

This day in history

In 1942, President Franklin Roosevelt signed an executive order that resulted in the internment of thousands of Japanese-Americans living on the West Coast.

But remember, the federal government is the best protector of liberty.

Suicide bomber arrested near Capitol

A Muslim who thought he was working with al-Qaeda was stopped in his tracks yesterday before he reached his target. He was wearing an inoperative suicide vest provided to him by undercover FBI agents.

Okay, we could dismiss this as just another feeble-minded loser manipulated by a sting. The fact remains that the intention was there, and that he was apparently on his way to commit mass murder. Another disturbing fact about this case is that the suspect, Amine El Khalifi, had been in the US for ten years as an illegal alien. Ten years?

Does this say something about the wisdom of allowing Muslims into this country? And does it suggest possible problems with DC's lax enforcement of immigration law?

The next homicidal fanatic might meet up with real al-Qaeda agents. So doesn't it make sense to keep these people from coming here? Just asking.

You're illegal? Here's $350,000 and amnesty!

This is so outrageous I won't even try to comment on it. Just try and make sense of this latest insanity:

The inmates are running the asylum. This Administration has served notice on every illegal alien invader across America: do not be afraid – you are above the law.

Eleven illegal aliens who claimed ICE agents “violated their rights” in 2007 raids on their New Haven neighborhood have won a $350,000 settlement from the U.S. government, which also agreed to halt deportation proceedings against the plaintiffs, their attorneys said Tuesday.

I wonder if the Roman Empire tried this brilliant tactic against invading Goths?

Should California secede?

Richard Green, a professor of public policy at the University of Southern California, believes secession makes perfect sense for California. The Golden State, he argues, does not get its fair share of the federal gasoline tax, and in effect subsidizes most of the red states by paying more to DC than it receives.

We need more studies like this. Slogans, rousing songs, and flags waved in defiance rouse us to band together and fight, but movements cannot ignore the economic implications of what they're fighting for.

Great moments in diversity

I couldn't make up stuff like this:

In another instance of harmony in post-racial America, a white Aryan Nations member joined forces with a black gang member to distribute methamphetamine in Missouri, according to federal investigators.

The partnership between white supremacist Richard Treis, 38, and Robert “Biz” Swinney, 22, was torn asunder by an undercover Drug Enforcement Administration probe that resulted in this month’s indictment of Treis, Swinney, and five codefendants on a variety of drug distribution and conspiracy charges.

According to investigators, Swinney allegedly marshaled a network of friends, relatives, and fellow gang members in St. Louis to purchase decongestants containing pseudoephedrine from various stores. Swinney then allegedly sold the pseudoephedrine to Treis, who cooked it down into meth.

But be warned: if you are subject to nightmares, you might not want to click on the link. These are two uuuuuuugly dudes.

Colorado and Rhode Island Counties Reject NDAA

What can I do to advance the Cause?

Here's a worthwhile project: Petition your city council representative, county commissioner, or state legislator to pass this resolution nullifying the unconstitutional NDAA:

“the Legislature finds that the enactment into law by the United States Congress of Sections 1021 and 1022 of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012, Public Law Number 112-81, is inimical to the liberty, security and well-being of the people of (STATE), and was adopted by the United States Congress in violation of the limits of federal power in United States Constitution”

State nullification is the first step toward secession. Click here to see the latest news in this effort.

The New Blacklist

In case you haven't heard, Pat Buchanan has been fired from MSNBC. Unable to debate his arguments, the leftist goons have worked behind the scenes to silence him.

They have won. For now.

Buchanan, however, is unbowed:

Without a hearing, they smear and stigmatize as racist, homophobic or anti-Semitic any who contradict what George Orwell once called their “smelly little orthodoxies.” They then demand that the heretic recant, grovel, apologize, and pledge to go forth and sin no more.

Defy them, and they will go after the network where you work, the newspapers that carry your column, the conventions that invite you to speak. If all else fails, they go after the advertisers.

I know these blacklisters. They operate behind closed doors, with phone calls, mailed threats and off-the-record meetings. They work in the dark because, as Al Smith said, nothing un-American can live in the sunlight.

Those of us in the League of the South know what Pat's talking about. For our opposition to the murderous, increasingly authoritarian regime in DC, we are stigmatized as "racist" by the sneaking lackeys who profit from discrediting dissent against the empire.

Like Pat, we will fight on.

This day in history

A sailboat waits for the CSS Hunley to rise.
In 1864, the Confederate submarine Hunley, equipped with an explosive at the end of a protruding spar, rammed and sank the Union's ship Housatonic off the coast of Charleston, S.C.

The Hunley's mission was to end the terrorist Federal bombardment of downtown Charleston, which had begun August 22, 1863, and would continue for 587 days.

Is that supposed to save the Union, Dave?

Tory David Cameron trekked up to Scotland to coax and threaten Scots to stay in their union with England. He used worn symbols of Scottish heritage to appeal to growing Scottish pride, as well as promises of greater autonomy to urge Scots to reject independence.

But Scottish National Party leader Alex Salmond wasn't convinced:

"If the Prime Minister has an offer to make to the people of Scotland, then he should make it now … so that we can have a clear debate and a clear decision on the alternative futures for Scotland," Mr Salmond told the BBC. "This idea of saying 'well, vote no and we'll give you something later' I don't think is going to convince anyone in Scotland."

Good for Scotland! So when do we get OUR vote?
