Because it was just an perfectly understandable gush of outrage...

...spontaneously combusting because of a crappy video that offended their tender sensibilities, right? Wrong.

Meanwhile, over in Afghanistan, they're after Captain Wales...

Artfully understated press release . And what isn't stated is significant, in terms of aircraft losses. If it wasn't, there wouldn't have been any reassurance that air operations would be unaffected. Because people who know people at Camp Bastion have already heard about the aircraft losses from email, etc. And I love the way battle reports have become police reports. Everything is an "incident under investigation..."

I like this approach...

Kevin Williamson, writing at National Review Online : How to respond to the attacks on U.S. diplomatic interests in the Muslim world? One especially appropriate tool we have at hand involves the State Department itself: the issuance of visas. If the Egyptians cannot bring themselves to behave like civilized human beings, then there is no reason to extend to them the benefits of international norms that they have no intention of respecting. It would therefore be appropriate for the United States to...

So, whattaya think of this approach?

And consider it from multiple perspectives, not just the easy one. Sent to me by a Coffman staffer.Bill to Give VA Jobs to Veterans (Washington, D.C.)- Today, U.S. Representative Mike Coffman, R-CO, introduced legislation to increase the responsiveness of the federal government to the needs of veterans while simultaneously increasing the rate of veteran employment. The Veterans Employment Act of 2012 will expand employment opportunities for veterans in the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) by requiring...

Hat tip to Patterico for this . Words matter. And elections have consequences.

Face Palm

In a half-hearted attempt to show the world that The Democrat Party is all for the troops and our military, their convention featured a tribute to our US Navy. Small detail though, their backdrop graphics featured: a) Turkish Fighters Flying In Formation, b) A Column Of Ruskie Ships. We appreciate your sincerity. Article HERE BOQ

These people are kicking up my tribal instincts.

We extend our condolences to the family and friends of Ambassador John Christopher Stevens and Sean Smith - as well as those of the as yet un-named citizens murdered in Benghazi yesterday. H/t, RangerUp for the message .

Nimrods, they do vex me!

Oh, and thank you, you fricking nimrods , for making sure Morris Dees and the SPLC can continue citing veterans in general as a threat. Meh. Like most of the militia groups I had contact with (not many, to be sure, and never from a "I wanna join" perspective) there's a huge element of Keystone Kops to this band of hosers. Only these twits took it to the next level - Keystone Kriminals. Doesn't make them less dangerous on an individual level, but they're certainly not an existential...

Mr Toad's Wild Ride...

So, in response to rumors about a film being made in the US, Islamists representing the footsoldiers of the religion of peace trash two embassies and kill an ambassador. "If your freedom of speech has no limits, may you accept our freedom of action." Thanks for the warning. Meh. A religion of peace only after you've accepted our religion as the only religion, and trashed that silly constitution of yours and obey our religious book. If I were Europe, I'd be very nervous. If I were...

Patriot's Day 2012

I originally had my 9/11 story up here, which has a little twist of irony in it that would be funny, were it possible to be funny. But that makes it about me. Which it isn't. It's about them . And more specifically, we remember DIA Budget Analyst Karl W. Teepe . This post is pinned to the top. New content will come in below it.

Shameless pandering works...

So, yesterday, there was this discussion on a Facebook post (where I posted the "Keep Calm and Fix Bayonets" picture)... Leslie Applegate ‎"Fix" bayonets???? Were they broken?.... 16 hours ago · Like John Donovan Comedy Central on line two. "Fix bayonets" is shorthand for "Affix Bayonets." We're into brevity. 16 hours ago · Like · 1 Leslie Applegate Sorry, my shotgun doesn't have a lug to attach anything except a flashlight...

Cue the patchouli-smelling musicians...

...and strike up "kumbaya" as we sit around the campfire... Now then. Let's take our country back from the people who would use our fear to bind us and take our freedom to enhance their power. Both foreign *and* domestic. It won't take a bullet or a bomb. We won't have to hurt anyone or get hurt. We just have to quit buying their bullshit, and ignore them. If we withdraw our consent, it falls apart. It takes forever, but it works. I know. I'm such a dreamer.
