Kill Whitey: Queen Oprah calls us all Racists

Seriously, Oprah. You need to knock this crap off. No one is taking you seriously anymore. You play the Race Card now worse than Jesse Jackson, worse than Al Sharpton, worse than Jim Clyburn, and you're farther up Obama's ass than Empress Michelle Antoinette or the White House proctologist ever could hope to be. The only reason you're still on TV is you own your own network, and your boundless narcissism has you on the cover of your own magazine every month as if you've accomplished something worthy of a magazine cover every 30 days.

In the interview you just gave the BBC, you spoke of all this racism against blacks by whites (of course, because in your eyes there's no racism towards whites whatsoever) and said,  'There are still generations of people, older people, who were born and bred and marinated in it, in that prejudice and racism, and they just have to die.'


Nice. That's a beautiful sentiment. Right up there with the Kill Whitey rhetoric from the New Black Panther Party.

They hate every iota of a cracka.

You then went on to keep on parroting the Leftist Party line that all of Lord Obama's problems are because white people hate him because he's black.

Obviously. That HAS to be it. It can't have anything to do with oppressive laws, higher taxes, czars without oversight, no budgets in years, trillions in debt, a drop in our credit rating, millions out of work and on welfare & food stamps, the IRS and ACORN scandals, free phones and other gimmicks to his leech supporters, giving guns to Mexican drug cartels to kill Americans, drones over our cities, NSA spying, Americans left to die in Benghazi, a healthcare scam, or lie upon lie upon lie. It's gotta be racism.

Hope. Change. Blame Whitey.

The BBC interviewer handed her the perfect set up to blame Whitey for all of Barack's failures:

BBC: Do you think, has it ever crossed your mind that some of the treatment of Obama and the challenges he’s faced and some of the reporting he’s received is because he’s an African-American, and if he wasn’t an African-American, if he was a white guy, those wouldn’t have happened, he wouldn’t have been treated in quite the same way, he wouldn’t have to deal with quite the same confrontations?

WINFREY: Has it ever crossed my mind? It’s crossed my mind probably as many times as it’s crossed your mind. Probably it’s crossed my mind more times than it’s crossed your mind. Just the level of disrespect. When the Senator yelled out, “You’re a liar.” Remember that? Yeah, I think that there is a level of disrespect for the office that occurs, and that occurs in some cases and maybe even many cases because he’s African-American.

*sigh*

Again, the Honorable Representative Joe Wilson of the Great State of South Carolina (NOT a Senator, get it right) said "You lie" out of frustrated and incredulous anger, it was because the President is a liar, was lying, has always lied, and will continue to lie until they shovel dirt on his mouldering corpse. It had nothing to do with his color, you buffoon.

Holy Crap. Buckingham Palace looks like Motel 6 compared to your crib. And only a narcissist like you would use Trayvon Martin and Emmet Till to promote your own legacy.

As you sit in your Ivory Tower mansion, a black woman from some crappy Mississippi backwater village who has attained a level of fame of filthy lucre wealth greater than is attainable by 99.999% of the humans that will ever inhabit this rock, instead of using your show or your magazine or your billions to be a positive role model for race relations, you instead just play Race Pimp and promote yourself for personal gain.

Instead, people like you will continue to cry "victim" and blame white people for why blacks kill each other at a frightening rate, have kids out of wedlock at a frightening rate, populate jails at a frightening rate, mooch of the government tit at a frightening rate, instead of taking responsibility for your own actions and stopping the cycle. Maybe try voting for something other than a corrupt Chicago Democrat once in a while.

You know, the party whose members founded the KKK after they lost the Civil War?

Amazing how knowledge is power against the low-information voter base you pander to with your race-baiting. And this is why I'll never watch your lame-assed show on your lame-assed network, and why I wouldn't line a litter box with your monthly rag. For all your money and power, you're beneath me by virtue of your racism.

Happy 238th Birthday, Devil Dogs

Today marks the 238th birthday of the United States Marine Corps, founded and formed at Tun Tavern in Philadelphia by Captain Samuel Nicholas by a resolution of the Second Continental Congress on 10 November 1775, to raise 2 battalions of Marines to serve as naval infantry.


Classmates like Chris Cunningham and Mike Dunham. Friends like Chris Hembree and Mark Heinemann and Grey Garland who call me "brother" despite being Army and not a Marine like them. Old salts like Don Ares and Mike Dunleavey who always had a ready story to share with me. Mentors like Pat Curley who always had the time for us before we signed on the dotted lines, and role models like Jeff Bohr who led from the front and gave his life for freedom thousands of miles from home.

I've had the honor of knowing many, many Marines in my lifetime and today I raise my glass to you and salute your heritage.

Marines are like the slightly crazy relative you know that will get drunk and make a scene at the family reunion, but also the one that will stand with you shoulder to shoulder in a fight no matter what.

Happy 238th Birthday, Marines! I proudly call you all Brothers. For he today that sheds his blood with me, shall always be my Brother.

The Joy of Being an Enemy of the State

I used to joke about being on Obama's infamous "enemies list" and I even have a graphic naming me as such right here on my blog's front page. I've also said for a few years now that if you're not on some government watch list you're not trying hard enough. I'm pretty sure they think I'm seditious and a threat to be monitored.

I mean, I meet so much of their criteria for being an enemy of the state that I may as well embrace it. I'm a middle-aged white male with a job who has never been on welfare or food stamps. I own firearms. I'm a military veteran. I believe in lower taxes and a small, unobstructive and unobtrusive central government that promotes business and the entrepreneurial spirit of capitalism instead of an oppressive, overbearing nanny state that tells me what to eat and changes history books in schools to suit their agenda. Therefore I am virtually a terrorist in their eyes, which is ironic as all hell when they actively support actual terrorists.

Their most frightening weapon against us at the moment, of course, is the Unavailable Healthcare Scam. Oh, wait, they prefer to call it the Affordable Healthcare Act, Three Lies In One. There's no Act; it's the Law now and there's no action per se because after SIX HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS and three years of "work" the website is a JOKE. It's sure as hell NOT affordable, since the promised $2500 savings in insurance premiums were 100% fallacy and fantasy and most people will be paying two to three times what they were paying before and getting FAR less. And it's not Healthcare, merely forced purchase of THEIR mandated insurances.

See, everyone in the Low Information Sheeple crowd thinks that Americans have no healthcare. This isn't the case; America has the best healthcare on the planet. That's why people from all over the world come here for treatments. From Third World slumdogs who honestly have no access to care, to First World citizens who pay taxes upwards of 80% of their income for "free" nationalized healthcare, they find a way here for the best doctors and best care in the world. I've got relatives in Canada who have hopped across the border to Buffalo rather than wait months for slipshod care from disinterested medical personnel.

That's the joke on you, Sheeple; Obamacare was never about healthcare. It doesn't provide healthcare. None whatsoever at all. It just forces you to buy insurance of their choosing or steals your paycheck as a tax/fine if you don't. It's not about healthcare; it's about REVENUE. The Democrats could care less if you die. You'll still get to vote Democrat after you're dead anyways. When you die they'll tax away your estate that you willed to family so they make money off your death. They force you to buy their insurance and make money. They fine you with taxes if you don't. They added all sorts of taxes on medical devices and then refer to toothbrushes and tampons as medical devices to take more of your money.

If this was about healthcare why weren't thousands of doctors and nurses and medical personnel hired? No, instead it was thousands of IRS agents to fine and tax you in the implementation of Total Control.

Good luck figuring THIS one out. Blow it up and embiggen it.

Supreme Leader Hussein Obama (Blessed Be His Name) point-blank lied to all of you when he said that if you like your insurance plan you could keep it and if you like your doctor you can keep him. Complete and utter lies. He said insurance premiums would drop $2500. Another lie. Instead, rates are tripling, people are getting their plans cancelled and doctors are retiring and ceasing to practice their sworn profession rather than work under Obamacare.

Of course, there's also the lie about transparency. Lord Obama stated that his would be the most transparent administration ever and that bills requiring his signature would be aired publicly for five days before becoming law, and yet we had to pass Obamacare to fine out what was in it and it grew from a ponderous and bloated 906 pages to the ungodly 10,000 page behemoth standing on our necks and crushing the life from us. The website that doesn't work cost more on a dollar per capita basis than the entire population of the United States, so with 314 million people you could have handed each of us a million dollars and had change left over, you dolts, and we could have just paid CASH for our own medical care.

 I have no children. Yet I am being forced to buy insurance with pediatric care.

I had a vasectomy six years ago. Yet I am being forced to buy insurance with maternity care.

I have never done drugs of any sort, have never smoked, and have maybe 2 beers a month. Yet I am being forced to buy insurance with substance abuse care.

Seems to me the only choice I have is how I am going to pay for other peoples' abortions and birth control and free phones and food stamps and other handouts.

But I'm an Enemy of the State. I deserve nothing but a re-education camp for my unwillingness to swear fealty to my government masters.

A Six Hundred Million Dollar 404 Message

How can The Supreme Leader B-Hussein claim to have a "laser-like focus" on jobs when he farmed out the 600 million dollar boondoggle website for Obamacare to a Canadian company? Not just any Canadian company, but the Montreal-based company that had already screwed up websites for the healthcare in a couple of Canadian provinces.

Bear in mind, if any one of us in the private sector spent three years on a project that was an abject failure, we'd be fired.

Three years and it barely works, if at all.

This website cost more than it did to start Facebook. More than it took to start Twitter. More than Spotify or Linkdin or Instagram. More than eBay or Amazon. And these websites routinely handle millions of users daily.

You mean to tell me we couldn't find someone here in the US of A to build a functioning website?

Hope & Change, my ass.

Beirut 30 years later

I was only 14 in October of 1983. I'd recently started high school and had just seen my entire life uprooted & moved from the DC suburbs to coastal Maine when my mom got married a few days previously. But I also wasn't the typical teenager...

I was a news junkie and a military & history buff from a young age. While my peers were watching MTV I was intently watching events unfold in Beirut. Our peacekeeping force was attacked by a terrorist car bomb that killed 241 American servicemen; 220 Marines, 18 Navy sailors and 3 Army soldiers. It was my first, and sadly not last, lesson in Islamic terrorism and Jihadi insanity.

Today is the thirtieth anniversary of the Beirut bombing. Never Forget.

From September 1982, when we first got involved in Lebanon,  through the withdrawal in February of 1984,a total of 267 American servicemen lost their lives in Lebanon: 240 from the Marine Corps, 7 from the US Army, 19 from the US Navy, and 1 from the US Air Force. The names of all of them are below.

Chicken Soup for the Patriot's Soul: The Power of Youth

I'm talking to you, Young Conservatives, those under 40 and especially those under 30.

Some people have been Conservatives their whole lives, many without even realizing it. Some start off as Liberals and become disillusioned with the sheer lunacy of the Left and convert to Conservatism. Libs love to sink their claws into the young and indoctrinate them, but most of them come around by the time they grow up, take on responsibilities like a mortgage and car payments and raising kids. Many, however, never take on any responsibilities, and expect the government to raise their kids while they keep breeding more welfare recipients and voting for corrupt Democrats who keep them in poverty.

The Republican Party as we know it is a dying dinosaur and going extinct. Establishment Republicans have lost sight of true Conservatism and are selling out to the Left. I'm talking about the John McCain and Mitch McConnell and Dick Lugar and Lyndsey Graham types. The so-called Old Guard. Yes, there are a good number of solid Conservatives who are older than I am, like my fellow blogger John Coffey, a Navy veteran and a wonderfully funny story teller and a guy I respectfully look up to. But if we're gonna take our country back, I think it's the younger Tea Party types who need to take the lead, and the younger Conservatives out there really need to step up to the plate and become the new face of the Right and save this nation from the Leftist Scourge.

Looking at some of the New Breed Conservatives that I stand with and who I think are going to shift the paradigm of the Right they're all pretty close in age to me. Here in South Carolina, Representative Jeff Duncan is 47 and fiery Representative Trey Gowdy is 49. Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina is 48. Two of the most vociferous and outspoken Conservatives on the scene right now are Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, or "elder statesman" of sorts at 50, and Texas Senator Ted Cruz , two years younger than me at 42.

The time for action is NOW, young America. You're already tens of thousands of dollars in debt due to the 17 TRILLION dollar federal defecit and the Left is looking to take more from you, not just in money but in freedoms.

Don't think you can make a difference? You think you're too young? You think no one will follow you?

Audie Murphy, the most highly decorated soldier in American history, was 19 when he earned his Medal of Honor.

How about our founding fathers? How old were they when we declared our independence on July 4th, 1776?

Additionally, naval hero John Paul Jones was 2 days shy of his 29th birthday. Ethan Allen was 38. John Hancock was 39. Patrick Henry, who said "Give me liberty or give me death!"  had recently turned 40. While Arthur Middleton was 34, his fellow delegate to the Continental Congress from South Carolina, Charles Pinckney, was a mere 18 when independence was declared. John Jay was 31. The man who regretted he had but one life to give for his country, Nathan Hale, was 21. James Monroe was 18. Polish Colonel Tadeusz Kosciuszko was 30. Thomas Paine was 39.

Neil Armstrong was 38 when he stepped onto the surface of the moon.

Charles Lindbergh became the first person to fly solo across the Atlantic at the age of 25.

And I'm pretty sure we've all seen the movie Braveheart. The real William Wallace was 26 when he started his war to gain Scotland's independence from England. He was just 33 when he was executed.




So, Young Conservatives...still think you're too young to lead, to make a difference? Like the old saying goes: LEAD, FOLLOW, OR GET OUT OF THE|WAY.

I repeat, the time for action is now, friends. 

The Million Veteran March in Pictures

Y'know, it's a sad state of affairs when our government, which is allegedly shut down, allows thousands of illegal aliens to gather on the closed Mall in Washington DC to bitch & whine for rights that are for citizens, but when our veterans, my brethren who have served this nation, fought & bled for it, have RIOT SQUADS with billy clubs and fists full of zip ties called out against them...

A picture is worth a thousand words, so here are some images of our veterans gathering peacefully in protest, and then picking up the barricades at the memorials and dropping them off at the White House.

Gas masks for tear gas, and lead-filled gloves to crack jaws.

I'm only following Herr Reischsfeuhrer's orders

The look of panic is kinda pathetic. Bike helmets and ASP batons, just looking for an excuse to swing.

This dude was NOT gonna be deterred or stopped

That cop so wants to steal that phone & smash it
