That’s right — Chuck Devore.
Sarah Palin last week made the bone-headed move to endorse RINO Carly “Demon Sheep” Fiorina in the GOP primary race to replace Barbara “Don’t Call Me Ma’am” Boxer’s California seat in the U.S. Senate. Thankfully Chuck is making ground. And 24 fans can proudly unite behind him.
Note that the military experience discussed in this video is actually real, unlike some people’s…
According to Fieldstone Secondary School in Rockland County, New York, it is.
Ninth-grader Jason Laguna, a former altar-boy, was suspended for daring to show the Rosary that he wears to school on a regular basis, generally under his clothes. He said that he received it as a gift and liked it so much that he wears it under his shirt, presumably to remind him throughout the day of his faith. Sounds reasonable right? Apparently not to his teacher who ordered him to put it away (despite the bell having rung and him being on his way out the door) and to the principal who upheld the teacher’s ruling.
The reason?
Beads are generally indicative of being in a gang. And moreover, wearing of the Rosary “endanger[s] the safety, health, morals or welfare of himself or others.”
Laguna, a straight-A’s student who is also a member of student government is nevertheless seeking assistance with his mother from the ACLU who has yet to comment. The superintendent put the suspension on hold pending an investigation. It’s unclear at this time if the school district is investigating whether or not the Roman Catholic Church is, in fact, a gang or something else.
Ugh.

So I asked [Chicago Mayor Richard Daley]: since guns are readily available in Chicago even with a ban in place, do you really think it’s been effective?
[...]
“Oh!” Daley said. “It’s been very effective!”
He grabbed a rifle, held it up, and looked right at me. He was chuckling but there was no smile.
“If I put this up your—ha!—your butt—ha ha!—you’ll find out how effective this is!”
For a moment the room was very, very quiet. I took a good look at the weapon. It had a long bayonet. (Was it seized during the Civil War?)
“If I put a round up your—ha ha!”
It’s nice to see that the musket is bring brought back into style at least.

Just when you think teachers can’t do anything stupider…
A math teacher at Corner High School in Jefferson County, Ala., decided the best way to teach his students about “parallel lines and angles” would be to have them calculate the best angle to use when firing a gun at President Barack Obama
An Alabama newspaper cited the teacher saying, “If you’re in this building, you would need to take this angle to shoot the president” among other legally murky things in his high school math class. Secret Service investigated it and of course found no issues. I was surprised, rumor has it that this teacher was a member of the al-Gebra sect, and in possession of weapons of math instruction. (Don’t hurt me.)
Barack Obama has been gallivanting around the world, apologizing for the horrible, horrible country that elected him. He has apologized to Europe, the ‘Muslim world,’ China and I think Swaziland is next week. Now foreign leaders feel emboldened. They know that they can come to the United States and criticize the country.
Mexican President Filipe Calderon and Chairman O held a joint press conference at the White House today. At the event, President Calderon said, “such laws as the Arizona law, which is forcing our people to face discrimination.” The President of a foreign nation felt comfortable trashing the United States in front of the President of the United States, at the White House. Not to worry, surely Obama stood up for his country, right? Wrong. Instead, O piled on, saying “We’re examining any implications especially for civil rights because in the United States of America, no law abiding person — be they an American citizen, illegal immigrant, or a visitor or tourist from Mexico — should ever be subject to suspicion simply because of what they look like.”
There are so many things wrong with what Obama said it is difficult to know where to start. First, Barack Obama is the President of the United States of America. It is unprecedented and unacceptable for a sitting President to join a foreign leader in trashing the United States. Second, based on Obama’s comments I’d ask if he has even bothered to read the Arizona law, but I know the answer to that question. For the 1000th time, the law forbids “suspicion simply because of what [someone] looks like.” Third, by definition no ILLEGAL immigrant can be a “law abiding person,” hence the prefix “illegal.” There can be no doubt – President Obama hates America. Can you imagine any other president criticizing the United States and American citizens like Obama does on a regular basis?
…….besides Jimmy Carter.
Will they ever learn? In 2004 they nominated ‘war hero’ John Kerry. How did that go again? Did he throw away the medals, or the ribbons symbolizing what they meant? 6 years later, the Democrats have found a new ‘war hero’ to tout – Connecticut Attorney General and Senate candidate, Richard Blumenthal. Turns out Richard’s got some some splanin to do. Blumentahl received 5 deferments during the war and eventually joined the Washington based Marine Reserves, said things like:
(H/T HA)
“We have learned something important since the days that I served in Vietnam,” Mr. Blumenthal said to the group gathered in Norwalk in March 2008. “And you exemplify it. Whatever we think about the war, whatever we call it — Afghanistan or Iraq — we owe our military men and women unconditional support.”…
In 2003, he addressed a rally in Bridgeport, where about 100 military families gathered to express support for American troops overseas. “When we returned, we saw nothing like this,” Mr. Blumenthal said. “Let us do better by this generation of men and women.”…
The New Haven Register on July 20, 2006, described him as “a veteran of the Vietnam War,” and on April 6, 2007, said that the attorney general had “served in the Marines in Vietnam.” On May 26, 2009, The Connecticut Post, a Bridgeport newspaper that is the state’s third-largest daily, described Mr. Blumenthal as “a Vietnam veteran.” And The Shelton Weekly reported on May 23, 2008, that Mr. Blumenthal “was met with applause when he spoke about his experience as a Marine sergeant in Vietnam.”…
It does not appear that Mr. Blumenthal ever sought to correct those mistakes…
Mr. Blumenthal has made veterans’ issues a centerpiece of his public life and his Senate campaign, but even those who have worked closely with him have gotten the misimpression that he served in Vietnam. In an interview, Jean Risley, the chairwoman of the Connecticut Vietnam Veterans Memorial Inc., recalled listening to an emotional Mr. Blumenthal offering remarks at the dedication of the memorial. She remembered him describing the indignities that he and other veterans faced when they returned from Vietnam.
Small problem – Blumenthal never set foot in Vietnam.
Blumenthal has described his lie as “a few misplaced words.” When he said he served “in Vietnam,” what he really meant was that he served “during Vietnam.” Further, Blumenthal claims that any misconstruing of his war record was “totally unintentional.” He did say “when we returned from Vietnam, I remember the taunts, the verbal and even physical abuse we encountered.” I’m sure he remembers that – he was probably the one doing the taunting and abusing! Richard Blumenthal is just another Democrat phony soldier.
P.S. I couldn’t resist:
Ted Nugent’s new book, Ted, White, and Blue was just released, and in my quest for information on the Nuge I came across this op-ed he wrote for the Washington Times last week. Pure awesomeness.
Water, water, everywhere water. Know it, embrace it, manage it or drown. Same goes for cars, trucks, chain saws, knives, crowbars, blowtorches, teakettles and guns. I will not be denied the pragmatic, functional utility of anything based on the inept, clumsy, irresponsible failure of brain-dead, uncoordinated numskulls.
I will not drown; drink and drive; chain-saw massacre anyone; stumble; slice, burn or shoot myself, nor will I ever hold up a bank. So the best advice would be to think, improvise, adapt and overcome, man up, but by all means, leave me alone. You don’t ban electric guitars just because someone may have a lapse in logic, goodwill and decency and spontaneously break out into country and Western music. The vast majority of sensible people will use electric guitars as God intended and whip out good, sexy rock ‘n’ roll licks.
I need my cars, trucks, chain saws, knives, crowbars, blowtorches, scalding-hot water, guitars and guns, thank you. Amazingly, I have mastered them all, and they are all wonderful ingredients for my American dream of rugged individualism, declared independence and self-sufficiency. They all serve me well, and I am not giving up any of them. Ever.

So why in God’s good name would any human being wish to force unarmed helplessness on another? That level of cruel indecency and forced victimization is incomprehensible to me and about 100 million Americans who own guns and believe in self-defense. The lunatic-fringe left won’t dare touch the issue of gun control. Self-defense is the most powerful, driving instinct in good people everywhere. To deny this is evil personified.
Write this down: Gun-free zones are a felon’s playground. Ban gun-free zones now. Join the NRA.
Good people don’t want the rapist to succeed. We want him dead. We don’t want our homes invaded. We want invaders dead. We don’t like carjackers. We like them dead. We don’t like armed robbers. We like them dead.
We have examined all the evidence we could possibly need to know that calling 911 is a joke unless, of course, the cops bring a dustpan and a mop to clean up the dead monster we just shot while protecting our families.

Looks like Bristol has found a pretty good career path. I wish I were making $30,000 per speaking engagement when I was 19!
