As expected, one of my liberal pains in my butt sent me a video from youtube that accuses Rush Limbaugh of considering any military troop that disagrees with the war a phony soldier. You can view it here if you like.



So I sent her back an e-mail that said the following (and mind you, I usually try to ignore this individual so as to not feed her because reaction is exactly what she is vying for, and because the stuff she spews makes most of the trolls out there seem harmless. Her crap is usually pretty over the top).

Anyway, here's the e-mail I sent.

Interesting how ill-informed you are

You sent me a video about Rush's Phony Soldier statement. However, as usual, the liberal press you find so dear lied to you, and took the entire thing out of context. If you had listened to Rush's entire show you would have known that the phony soldier comment came from the before talked about Jessie MacBeth. Jessie was at one time the Left's media darling, because he claimed to be an Army Ranger that saw the horror of war, and was willing to talk about how horrible it was in Iraq. He smeared the military, and the Leftwing Media ate it up. Thing is, he was a liar. Oh, he'd been in the Army, but was let go after 44 days of bootcamp - basically he couldn't hack it and was lashing out at the military as a result. He, my dear, is a phony soldier. But you see, your little video, and that leftwing site, Media Matters for America, toyed with the story, and kind of left out that part in which indicated that he was referring to soldiers that are like Jessie MacBeth - phony soldiers that make claims they are real soldiers, and then tell horrific tales that are nothing more than horrific lies. But you see, if you were well informed, you would have known that.

RushLimbaugh.com and
The Free Republic and
Hot Air Anti-War video is bogus and

But that's not how the left works, is it. Since the battle of ideas is a losing battle, you and your liberal friends spend all your time smearing the right, and looking for incriminating tidbits (true or not) to smear all over the place. Then, you find more lies, and call it truth. It's a real shame. And yes, despite your accusations, I am much more well informed than you. You think you are informed because you listen to a media that provides nothing but lies. I pay attention to that media as well, but then counter it with the truth, and recognize the lies. I thought you were smarter than that, than to fall for the bogus crap the media sends your way. You are like a sheep being herded in the direction the socialistic Democratic Liberal Party is leading you.


And on a lighter note, Saturday, 29th (that would be today) is the day that Dr. Blogstein visits Political Pistachio Radio. His comedy mixed with my political prowess will be interesting to listen to indeed. Tune in at 7pm Eastern Time/4pm Pacific for the fun at Political Pistachio Radio on Blog Talk Radio.


And finally, do you know who Mike Gray is? Mike Gray is that lawn care worker that got in trouble for his sign last year. The Border Patrol hat wearing business owner advertised that his business was "Done with Pride by an English Speaking American!" However, his other job, Arapahoe County in Colorado, didn't like the sign, nor did the local bureaucrats, who, fearing someone might be offended, ordered Mike to can the sign (and the hat). Mike Gray decided to go get a lawyer instead. Well, guess what? Mike is my guest this Wednesday night on Political Pistachio Radio! And, as an added treat, Terry Funderburk, the South Carolina Roofer that claims his competitors are putting him out of business by hiring illegals, and was arrested for protesting at a job site where illegals were working, has indicated that he plans to chime in as well. Wednesday at 10 pm Eastern, 7 pm Pacific, will be a good night for Political Pistachio Radio, and a bad night for the illegal aliens.

When a Muslim recently called me a pig because of my 9/11 Memorial hat and pro-American shirt, I was offended. Was what he said to me a hate crime? Of course not. However, for my own safety against the Political Correctness of society, I kept my own mouth shut. Had I have called him a pig back, I would have probably been in for some serious legal problems.

However, everyone else, these days is also offended, but when that happens, it's a big deal. You know, Muslims, Atheists, members of non-caucasian races, gays, and so forth.

If I say anything against the gay population it is considered to be "gay-bashing."

If I say anything deemed inappropriate about the Muslims, I must have Islamophobia.

How about whistling a Christmas tune near a Jew, Atheist, or Muslim? Offensive!

A Muslim woman sued Orange County in California over the right to wear a head scarf. A college student of Pace University was arrested for dropping the Koran in the toilet (which was tasteless, but not a hate crime). A student was disciplined for using the term "that's so gay" (after being asked if as a Mormon she has 10 moms) because it was considered to be an anti-homosexual putdown, and after it went to court, she lost! A four year old kid was accused of improperly touching a teacher. To try to not be offensive in textbooks "Newspeak" has been ripped right out of George Orwell's novel 1984 and applied to university handbooks, using non-sexist language. The emphasis in our universities has shifted from free debate to the compulsory adoption of a dogma called multiculturalism, which includes non-sexist speech and behavior, along with a whole slew of other politically correct beliefs, which uses intimidation to enforce, and will undoubtedly continue to lead our academic system to a certain failure.

And last Christmas a group of carolers were asked to stop singing a Christmas Carol in Riverside, California because it would offend the Jewish skater, Sasha Cohen. Sasha, by the way, not only didn't mind, but stated later she welcomed the Christmas Carols.

However, if an icon of Christ is dipped into a jar of urine, according to our current society, that is nothing less than art.

And more recently, if homosexuals mock the "Last Supper" with Sex-Toys, that is not only acceptable, but it is considered to be a courageous ad.

Liberal Readers, is that funny to you?

It's not to me. In fact, it's downright offensive. Where's the ACLU when the offense is against Christianity?

My guest on the Wednesday Night addition of Political Pistachio Radio was offered to me with the explanation that he was an expert on security on our nation's college campuses and that he was available to discuss the recent shooting at Delaware State University. Great, I thought, I've been wanting to learn more about what is going on with what I perceive as an increase of violence on the college campuses of America.

When I asked John Zmirak, the editor-in-chief of "Choosing the Right College", about the shooting in Delaware, he did not have a clue about what I was saying.

Buzzzzz. Strike One.

When I brought up the stories in the news today about the gunman scare on a Wisconsin University campus, New York's St. Johns rifle toting Bush mask wearing gunman, and a slightly more obscure story in New Hampshire about a deer hunter wandering on to the campus (still unconfirmed with an Internet story), he knew nothing about them either. (as far as links go, I suppose 2 out of 3 ain't so bad!)

Buzzzzz. Strike Two.

When I asked him about security on the college campuses and how it affected violence on the campuses, he knew a little.

Foul tip.

When we began talking about gun control issues, though we didn't see eye to eye completely, he understood the importance of the Second Amendment.

Hit down the line, just foul.

Then the current situation in Iraq was brought up and all heck broke loose.

Buzzzzzz. Strike Three, you're outta there!

Don't get me wrong. I believe that everybody is entitled to their opinion, and not everyone agrees with me completely. The far left will even lie and say that the majority of America is against our presence in Iraq. That must be why Congress's approval rating according to a recent Reuters/Zogby Index is at a paltry 11% (the libs run to the Gallup Poll every time - not that the polls are ever very accurate - I am sure the real number is even lower).

In fact, the man acted as if he had been ganged up on and beaten, hanging up with a shaken voice after Iraq War Veteran Paul Couturier, Phil (the ever present Night Rider), and MDConservative of Conservative Intelligence Report Blog(his blog has some fascinating posts about the rebirth of the USSR, by the way), called in and confronted John regarding his position on Iraq. The guest was visibly (okay, sorry, audibly) shaken, and I regret that it came to that. I tend to be diplomatic and fair, most often in my dealings with people, but I did warn him before the beginning of the show that Political Pistachio Radio is a very conservative show with a very conservative audience. And when the conversation turned to the War on Terror, if he felt uncomfortable talking about it he should have said so, but instead, he decided to essentially quote the Daily KOS talking points, and so the wolves devoured him.

Thank you for joining us tonight, John. No hard feelings, I hope.

John?

John?

[sigh]

Confrontation with the truth will do that to you, I suppose.

Today, while arriving to pick up the Los Angeles Times newspaper (I only subscribe to the Press Enterprise, but every once in a while I pick up the LA Times too) a Muslim man in his full regalia took one glance at the hat I was wearing (which reads: FDNY, NYPD, 343, 23, We Salute Our Fallen Heroes, Ground Zero, 9-11-01) and the Political Pistachio Shirt (which has an American Flag in the logo) I was wearing, while in the parking lot, and called me a pig. He then walked away, only to step into his vehicle and drive away. Had I have turned and called him a pig, I would probably have been arrested for committing a hate crime. This comes a few days after someone handed my son a Koran at work and told him to read it, it would change his life for the good. In my opinion, that would be like someone handing my son a copy of "Mein Kampf" during the late 1930's or early 1940's.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad paid a visit to Columbia University in New York yesterday to speak. I used Yahoo and Google in a mad search to find articles about the speech, but couldn't find any in the top ten. Perhaps it was the search words I used. Perhaps it's a Vast Leftwing Conspiracy. When I saw a piece of video on television (KCAL 9 in Los Angeles) regarding the speech, the people listening were applauding him like he was Mother Teresa. I couldn't believe it. I wonder if they would have been applauding if Hitler had been invited to speak at an American University near Pearl Harbor after December 7th, 1941. Oh, wait, that generation wouldn't have been stupid enough to invite the enemy to further poison the minds of Americans in such a way, or even allow the enemy to step foot on our soil.

When I retrieved my morning newspapers, one of them, the Riverside Press Enterprise, accused Columbia University President Lee Bollinger of "set[ting] the combative tone in his introduction," and that Bollinger's introduction introduced Ahmadinejad as a "petty and cruel dictator" was an "introduction that upstage[d] Iran president [Ahmadinejad]." The Los Angeles Times, unlike the Press Enterprise, was willing to splash the top of the front page with a story about Ahmadinejad's visit to Columbia University. Their headline ran "Iranian leader receives rough reception in N.Y.", a surprisingly more objective headline. The article tried to keep to the facts, but incorporated a little bit of liberal bias. The New York Daily News had the most truthful headline I located, in my opinion, reading "The Evil Has Landed." The Liberals may call that Rightwing bias. I call it being honest.

Did you watch the beginning of the speech at Columbia? I watched a video of it today. After the introduction by Columbia University's President Lee Bollinger during which he called Ahmadinejad a cruel dictator, the Iranian President came off with the sweetest dog and pony act I've ever seen, and the people fell for it, cheering in response. The Sun Times had this to say: Un-forum-givable: Don't help propagandist.

Today, Ahmadinejad addressed the United Nations General Assembly about sanctions imposed against his government regarding its nuclear program. After watching Ahmadinejad address the United Nations, and his continual attack against the United States (while not actually naming America, it was obvious who he meant), I noticed that his rhetoric sounded exactly like the talking points of just about any liberal member of the Democratic Party (Reid, Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, Chuck Schumer to name a few). Then, Ahmadinejad proclaimed he wished to begin a movement for peace, as he prepares for war.

The Iranian President, during his speech to the United Nations General Assembly, also indicated he is offended by those nations showing through their actions that they are against Iran (once again meaning us and any of our allies), claiming we have badly mistreated his nation with unlawful activities fueled by unlawful wishes. Nations are inherently good, he said (Some members of Iranian society may be, but he sure isn't), and asked for the United States to leave the arrogance of Satan, and have compassion for others. Remember, this is the man that denies the existence of the Holocaust, and proclaims that Israel should be wiped off the face of the Earth, and that the United States is the Great Satan and that he can imagine a world without America.

Listening to Ahmadinejad in both speeches brought to mind Biblical text regarding Satan. Whoa, hold on, I am not trying to proselytize you, here. Whether or not you believe in Christianity or Satan is not the point, and I am in no way asking you to believe anything that I do, but I do wish to relay a point regarding biblical text regarding who most would call The Devil. Biblical text paints Satan out to be a counterfeiter that cannot be trusted. One who is evil, but disguises his evil with good intentions, and sweet and colorful packaging. He is the Prince of Lies, and the harbinger of war. He calls for peace and safety as he prepares for war. He promises closeness to God as he separates you from Him. He calls you to come together with all faiths and peoples so that you may be destroyed in one fell swoop. Ahmadinejad sounded a lot like the Biblical description of Satan.

Of course, at the end of his speech, the members of the United Nations General Assembly clapped and smiled.

And Ahmadinejad lied through the entire speech.

We want nukes, but we don't plan to use them. However, those imperialists won't let us. It's us against them. [part of what Ahmadinejad said in a nutshell] He also called for us all to believe in one God, monotheism, but don't believe that he means the same God that Jews and Christians believe in - Muslims believe in the moon god and then named it allah. Explains all the moons on Islamic Flags, don't it? So while you (the Liberal Atheists) proclaim that the Christian Right is trying to create a theocracy (which is, of course, false), how about you take your fangs out of Christians and turn your attention to the ideology that truly wishes to create a theocracy, and is willing to remove your head to accomplish it.

Other breaking news is that the Memphis Airport had a communication outage that grounded flights today for a 250 mile radius. Now, in response to those that say "Do you really believe that Islam can easily just destroy parts of the United States with attacks?" understand that just a small glitch in the communications system through Southern Bell grounded a great many flights. How much more would it take to shut down the entire Communications Network in the U.S., crippling us, and making us vulnerable?

Just a point to ponder.

Thank you to MDConservative for reminding me that today is National POW/MIA Recognition Day.

Last Saturday on Blog Talk Radio was my second of three special Gathering of Eagles episodes on Political Pistachio Radio. Coming up this Wednesday night at 10pm Eastern/7pm Pacific I will be joined by Justin from Right on the Right, Crawfish from Crawfish's Swamp, a Navy man that not only attended GOE III, but also has served aboard the USS Ronald Reagan, and hopefully Kit Lange from Euphoric Reality. Tune in for more interesting experiences by Eagles on Political Pistachio Radio.

Andrea Shea King has asked me to participate on her Monday night Blog Talk Radio show, which airs at 9pm Eastern/6pm Pacific. Tune in because also her guest will be Chuck Muth from the Conservative Leadership Conference.

I've said before, and I will say it again, we, as a species, should be good stewards of our planet. If there is gunk in the air and water, we should ensure we be careful, and clean what we have damaged. But today's environmentalists are extreme activists that cause more harm than good, sometimes. The money grubbing religion of Global Warming, and the great lies it is spreading regarding "carbon footprints" when the warming and cooling cycles have been proven to be natural occurrences, is a good example. Now, another example of environmentalism not being able to do anything right comes in the form of an attempt to save an endangered species of fish in Colorado. Scientists, in an effort to save the endangered greenback cutthroat trout erroneously stocked the rivers with the wrong fish (the more common Colorado River Cutthroat). This gives them more than a black eye, since it is just another mistake of many committed by those claiming to be there to do the right thing. Ooooops.

I am a partially disabled Veteran, for those that don't know. I have been receiving care from the Veteran's Administration since 1988. I have seen the VA go up and down in care, capabilities, manpower, and overall quality. Today, I read an article in my local paper that indicated that Veterans Affairs falls short, failing to even meet its own standards. From personal experience, the care was adequate until about 1994, at which time the care became shoddy, and manpower low. During the current administration the care at VA has improved drastically, and the manpower appears to be at levels at, or above, the level in the late 80's when I began being treated by VA. According to my experience, the agency maintains a high level of quality treatment when compared to the past. Unfortunately, the press is determined to claim the system falls short, and to somehow place blame on the current administration. Don't get me wrong, mistakes are sometimes made, and sometimes facilities are neglected when they shouldn't be, like in the case of Walter Reed Medical Center. Honestly, Walter Reed was downright despicable. But isolated incidents of poor management of a facility is hardly an indication that the entire VA system is in shambles. Honestly, it is not a perfect world. There is still room for improvement. Like anything, improvement is possible. But when compared to the care I received during the Clinton Administration (coupled with his massive cuts in VA and military funding), what I receive now is awesome. The overall system is not like Walter Reed, thank God. However, the Liberal Left will claim that it is, and that it is all Bush's fault. Granted, I do not agree with everything Bush has done, but under his watch, I have to admit, VA has improved drastically.

And for those of you that missed last Saturday's Political Pistachio Radio, check it out because we also had a surprise caller, John. John is a Cuban Exile. Watch for him to return on a future broadcast to tell his story about living under Castro, and escaping Communism.

Oh, and back to Global Warming, GM Roper has a great post on that.
