Typical -- just typical.

Washington Times EDITORIAL: Guns on a plane

Obama secretly ends program that let pilots carry guns


Tuesday, March 17, 2009

After the September 11 attacks, commercial airline pilots were allowed to carry guns if they completed a federal-safety program. No longer would unarmed pilots be defenseless as remorseless hijackers seized control of aircraft and rammed them into buildings.

Now President Obama is quietly ending the federal firearms program, risking public safety on airlines in the name of an anti-gun ideology.

Best Conservative Movies

A pretty-good list of excellent flix that supposedly promote morality and freedom.

Here, I've only listed those that I've personally viewed:

2.
The Incredibles (2004) -- good family flick.
4. Forrest Gump (1994)
5. 300 (2007) -- I actually preferred The 300 Spartans.

Sony Pictures


6. Groundhog Day (1993)
9. Blast from the Past (1999) -- Awesome. Waay underrated.
10. Ghostbusters (1984)
11. The Lord of the Rings (2001, 2002, 2003) -- this scene makes the trilogy worthwhile all by itself:

13. Braveheart (1995)
15. Red Dawn (1984)

20th Century Fox


16. Master and Commander (2003)
17. The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe (2005)
19. We Were Soldiers (2002)
21. Heartbreak Ridge (1986)
22. Brazil (1985)
23. United 93 (2006) -- I'm still awaiting the DVD release of "The Path to 9-11".
24. Team America: World Police (2004) -- Just awesomely politically incorrect.
25. Gran Torino (2008) -- Not classic Clint -- BETTER!

The runners-up are listed here -- a lot more great flix:
Air Force One, Amazing Grace, An American Carol, Barcelona, Bella, Cinderella Man, The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Hamburger Hill, The Hanoi Hilton, The Hunt for Red October, The Island, Knocked Up, The Last Days of Disco, The Lost City, Miracle, The Patriot, Rocky Balboa, Serenity, Stand and Deliver, Tears of the Sun, Thank You for Smoking, Three Kings, Tin Men, The Truman Show, Witness





The Arrogance of Obama Versus the Arrogance of the MSM

Orson Scott Card's WorldWatch column has a good spin on this topic:

"...it was a delicious moment when President Obama made his condescending handshaking visit to the press room and got testy when the reporters insisted on asking him questions. "If you keep asking questions I won't be able to do this any more," he says, sternly, like a father saying, "Do I have to turn this car around?"



He was so arrogant that I laughed out loud.
And also unbelievably dumb about the press. This guy, who got the gentlest treatment by the press in any political campaign ever (while they made grossly unfair attacks on Palin), clearly despises them as a nuisance.

Maybe the fact that the press threw away their souls and their integrity during the Bush administration means that they have nothing left -- no personal, inner resources that will allow them to stand up to a president who despises them."


So far, the MSM is still assiduously applying several atmospheres of suction to the Anointed One's loins. A few cracks are starting to appear here and there, but it's still early yet.



I'm not a subscriber, but...

Kudos to MAD magazine for
scooping Time, Newsweek,
and the NY Times.

This is actually a flattering
impression of his intellectual,
political, and organizational
ability:


Last I heard, Alfred E. Neumann
is filing suit for defamation of
character.

Explanation of Previous Post


That is rock-salt and bacon-bits loaded into a 12 gauge shotgun shell as a non-lethal anti-terrorist munition.

Now, that wasn't so hard to figure-out, was it?

How General Pershing dealt with Islamic Terrorists

THE WISDOM OF KNOWING YOUR ENEMY

"In the years preceding World War I, General Pershing was commander of the American forces in the Philippines. The small Moslem community on the island nation began to wreak havoc against the Philippine government and American forces. The American troops captured a large group of these terrorists. During the interrogation by the Military Court, the fanatics were heard to repeatedly shout, 'Allah Achbar! Allah Achbar! Jihad! The Philippines are the lands of Islam!'

"Pershing ordered the Amalekites executed one by one in the presence of the whole group. (The author is referring to the prophecy in the Bible that the Amalekites would be a very vicious and war‑like people down through history.) Moslems will not eat pork believing that no one could enter Paradise if there is even the smallest amount of swine flesh in their bodies. Knowing this, the General first ordered the firing squad to shoot large hogs. After they skinned the swine, the executioners rolled their bullets in pork fat and passed fat through the barrels of their rifles while the condemned watched. As each condemned terrorist was executed, his corpse was wrapped in hog's skin and buried on the spot. The entrails of the swine were dumped over the corpse before the grave was covered. Three of the convicted Amalekites were released to take the news back to their Islamic Communities. That ended the Islamic Jihad in the Philippines. Terrorist incidents from Islamic Fundamentalists were unheard of until a decade ago when the U.S. State Department recognized the PLO as legitimate 'Freedom Fighters' " (Vendyl Jones, RESEARCHER [Arlington, Texas: Vendyl Jones Research Institutes, January 2001]: 20).
