Polecat-Americans

Sunday, March 25th, 2007

J. D. Pendry

Polecat…any of several carnivorous mammals of the weasel family… any of various common omnivorous black-and-white New World mammals of the weasel family that have a pair of perineal glands from which a secretion of pungent and offensive odor is ejected… an obnoxious or disliked person – Merriam-Webster OnLine

How’s your morning commute? Mine is mostly pleasant. By choice, half of it is on a winding two-lane blacktop through the countryside. US Route 60 if you’re curious. It doesn’t have the maniacs one encounters on the DC Beltway (did that commute too), but it does have its adventures. It is a slalom of dead possums, raccoons, combative whistle pigs and deer. Nothing I encounter along the way, however, quite comes up to what a polecat recently converted to pavement pizza can do to an otherwise pleasant Spring morning. The lingering stench from exploded perineal glands overwhelms your olfactory senses and permeates your vehicle. It easily surpasses the gag factor and linger of pinto bean generated methane.

I was at work the other morning after a polecat encounter brooding over the mounds of paper that are constant no matter what I do and enjoying my morning snack of pork rinds and coffee. The polecat’s stink was still fresh in my irritated nostrils and mind when I thought I’d check the news headlines on the Internet. That’s when I decided I needed to add obnoxious and pungent Polecat-American weasels to my growing list of Hybrid-Americans.

How does one get the distinction of having a Polecat hyphenation added to his or her American-hood you might wonder?

One way is to abandon the people whose sacrifices throughout our Nation’s brief history have enabled you to sit fat and happy in an elected seat of a free representative republic. There are more, I’m sure, but at least 218 members of Congress earned that distinction this past week. They did it by turning their backs on our Soldiers in order to play at the rich kid sport of politics. Not only did they turn their backs on what our Soldiers and their Commanders need to survive in combat with our enemies, they seem rather proud of themselves for having done it. They also sent a message to our enemies by providing them with our run-away date. All the beheaders need to do now is to wait for the outcome they prophesied. America will run away. Polecat-Americans must be impervious to their own retched stench.

The United States has the military might to defend itself and defeat any enemy, whether terrorist or nation on this planet, but lacks the political will and courage in Congress to punch its way out of a wet paper bag. Instead of confronting the threat, they’d rather pass legislation that slow-bleeds our Military and country to death while it gives away millions of your dollars, and mine, for spinach, milk money, peanuts, shrimp…. If I were an enemy of the United States, I would know that my greatest ally is a U.S. Congress with a majority of Polecat-Americans in it who are always more inclined to engage in domestic political combat than they are to engage in combat with me.

The skunks in Congress have a constituency. Many of them, like Bill Maher, were publicly distraught when an assassination attempt on Vice President Chaney failed. In Milwaukee, part of the polecat constituency vandalized an Army Recruiting Office by smearing human feces around it. In Portland, Oregon, protestors burned an American Soldier in effigy. Let that sink in for a minute before you ponder this excerpted below:

“Perhaps the most disturbing scene of the afternoon, however, involved the man who pulled down his pants in front of women and children and defecated on a burning U.S. flag. This disgusting act actually elicited cheers from some members of the crowd, but we hope that the emotion it produces in the community is one of revulsion.”

When it comes right down to it, these animals are merely parroting and acting out the rhetoric of the Polecat-Americans sitting on their fat butts in Congress. How else should we expect an ill-parented kid brainwashed in the public education system to treat what Congress labels as cold-blooded murders (John Murtha), Nazis, gulag tenders and Pol Pot-like (Dick Durbin), uneducated and terrorists (this time around John Kerry), torturer chamber operators (Ted Kennedy) too dumb to do anything else (Charley Rangel)…. What’s interesting is that to a Man and Woman, the members of the United States Armed Forces will tell you that the reason they lay it on the line everyday is so that Polecat-Americans can act like the idiots they are.

Freedom is a wonderful thing and we have more of it here than anywhere else I can think of. As dangerous to our country as are those who wish our destruction are the people who exercise their freedoms irresponsibly. They have the right, preserved by the sacrifices of many good Men, Women and their families, to act out as they do.

I enjoy those same rights. I have the right to say that these people are neither Patriots nor good Americans. They’ve never sacrificed a thing or made one single commitment to preserve the freedoms they enjoy in our country. Most, I’d wager, have never worked, had any responsibility or made a decision other than who gets to carry the bag of crap to the recruiting office. A Patriot and a good American exercises his freedoms responsibly and expresses his or her grievances with the government, the war or any thing else on his mind in a civil manner. Americans should speak out when they disagree, but they should also have the gumption to face our Country’s real enemies when it’s called for.

When you choose to burn an American Soldier in effigy or deficate on an American flag or, in the case of Congress, abandon our Soldiers in the field I have, but one small request. When the danger comes back to our shores, and it will, go find another Polecat-American to protect your rancid existence. Our Soldiers will be too busy.

Stand Up, Speak Up

Sunday, March 18th, 2007

“Say what you have to say. Not what you ought.” – Henry David Thoreau

Candor and Courage are necessary, highly held military values. Without them, honest assessments and valuable insight are lost. Missions fail. People die. Leaders have to say and stand up for what they believe. They can never cower when challenged for what they hold dear and for what they are willing to and have sacrificed to defend.

Do you like it when people speak their minds? When they have the courage to say what they believe and refuse to stand down after they’ve said it? You should, because it gives insight to the person. In our country, it’s hard to do that when what you believe contradicts liberal led political and mainstream media groupthink. Political correctness is America’s suicide pact.

Liberal media and politicians attacked General Pace for expressing his personal conviction that homosexuality is immoral. The don’t ask, don’t tell policy is not about morality. It’s about discipline. But, does that prohibit the General from expressing his honest held belief? The question is, would you prefer that the General publicly support homosexuality to placate those who label as phobic anyone who shares their true feelings or, would you prefer that he say something politically correct while continuing to act according to his true beliefs? That is what politicians do. Washington’s politicians and their liberal media sponsors despise General Pace because of his honesty. Men like the General are able to tell you what they believe and then stand by it. If there is one thing that double-dealing Washington knot heads cannot handle it’s straight forward honesty.

Radical lesbian Rosie speaks her mind as well. I appreciate that. Each time she opens her mouth she proves that she’s nuttier than squirrel turds, but as deranged as it sounds I think she believes what she says. This past week, she said we’d stripped all humanity from Khalid Sheikh Mohammed because we used aggressive interrogation techniques on him. Validating Rosie, Senators Levin and Graham are asking for an investigation into his treatment by the CIA. The liberal media didn’t seem to mind that Rosie condemned America while assigning measurable humanity to a man personally responsible for thousands of murders. Frankly, Rosie, I’m disappointed the man still has eyelids and fingernails, but I’m inhumane when it comes to dealing with ruthless, murdering scum. Almost as inhumane, as Khalid Sheikh Mohammed would be to a radical lesbian as he removed her head with his “blessed right hand” as he claims to have done for Daniel Pearl. As for the Senators, they live up to expectations of mindless, directionless men who are leading us into dhimmitude.

On March 17, 2007, according to National Park Service estimates 30,000 Americans, defenders of freedom past and present, decided it was time to break silence, stand up and speak up in defense of our troops and our country. What 30,000 Eagles proved is that when you stand up, the jihad sympathizers back down. Like the Phoenix rising from the ashes, this group consisting of many Vietnam veterans, outnumbered the anarchists 3 to 1. As always, throughout the history of our nation, men and women such as this step forward to lead when others are reluctant. They sent a strong message to the America haters and the political establishment in Washington. Emphatically they said no more!

Mr. President, Americans hunger for the type of candid and courageous leadership shown to us this weekend by the Gathering of Eagles. They have now passed the baton to you, our leader. You have choices to make. You can either spend the next two years parrying nonsensical attacks from liberals while they decimate your administration or you can put your finger in the collective chest of America’s axis of idiots and call BS on them. You can be like the Eagles and Stand Up. Forget about uniting the political establishment in Washington. It has but a single goal of rendering you and by extension our country helpless. In six years, even while at war, you’ve been unable to move them in unison. Abandon them and lead the Americans that are starving for your leadership. Americans are looking for the man that stood atop the rubble in New York with a bullhorn and spoke to a shocked nation and the world. The Eagles, as they’ve always done, cleared the way for you to retake that high ground.

Forget about Washington’s politicians and the media Mr. President. They didn’t elect you, we did. Serve us. Serve the Troops you sent into combat. It’s time for you to use the pulpit Americans gave you and to get past caring about the feelings of people bent on your destruction. You cannot deal with people more concerned about the humanity of a murderer than they are the lives of Americans.

Everyday until you leave the office of Commander in Chief, America needs to hear you Stand up and Speak up. Every single day Sir! This is the campaign to save our country. This is the campaign of your life. Throw away the scripts and politically correct words and forget about what you ought to say. Instead, say what you have to say and must say to lead America to a victory at home and in this War. It was you Mr. President, who said, “We will never back down, and we will never give in, and we’ll never accept anything less than complete victory.” Stand up for what you believe if you believe it. If you lead, Americans will follow. You have two years left to save our country.

If you can’t Eagle Up and be the leader we need, then you should leave office today. Take the Vice President with you and let Pelosi assume the role. At least if we are going to hell it may as well be on the express train instead of slow bleeding ride of one heart beat at a time.

America is standing by.

Name Calling, Freedom of Speech, and other Stuff

Sunday, March 11th, 2007

 


March 17, 2007, 1000 hours, Vietnam Memorial, Washington, DC

I was under the weather for a while and with too much time on my hands. Should I be concerned when many of the visits to my obscure webpage come via search engines? I feel stalked. I followed the trail of some search links just to see what turned up. Whoo boy, I sure get a good cussing out in some forums. I’m learning that it doesn’t matter what’s said as much as it does who says it or why they said it.

 

We’ve heard our military described as Nazis, gulag proprietors, Pol Pot killers, torturers, cold-blooded murders, terrorists and uneducated reluctant warriors who would choose to be elsewhere given a choice. All of it coming from the mouths of Congress. The same Congress that now pretends to care that those Soldiers in outpatient status at Walter Reed Army Medical Center are living in a dilapidated barracks. How does a mind move from calling Soldiers Nazis and cold-blooded murderers to caring about how the Nazis and cold-blooded murderers are treated? Easy, politics. The sad part is that if it weren’t for the politics on both sides of this issue, the living conditions and treatment of Soldiers would not garner a second thought – except by the people who were fired from their jobs for political cover. One side points fingers and blames while the other side lays waste to an entire command, both trying to prove how much they care. The question is about what do they care?

 

When a group of Veterans and supporters decide to gather to protect our war memorials and show support for our Troops the name-calling and threats from “peace” activists is astounding. The expression that Hugo Chavez’s girl Cindy Sheehan and her jihad sympathizing compatriots like to use is Reich-wing. If you served your country, support it and support the troops, you’re a Nazi. Sounds too much like Congress doesn’t it?

 

Everyone gasped the other day when Ann Coulter characterized Johnny Edwards as a faggot. Frankly, I wouldn’t have insulted homosexuals by comparing them to Edwards. I think Howdy Doody is a more apt comparison, although it might offend Howdy. But, I don’t want too many brain cells firing, and thereby contributing to global warming, by worrying about someone that doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in Death Valley of ever living at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. There is something interesting here though. Conservatives and liberals beat up Ann Coulter for her comment, but who challenged Howdy Doody when he hired two profane, anti-Christian bigots to Blog for his campaign? Instead of firing them, Johnny defended their freedom of speech. Odd how he didn’t defend Ann’s. As the Democrats in Nevada have shown us, liberals are only interested in free speech when it’s theirs and they control it.

 

Democrats can make political speeches in Churches and it’s OK. They can pander with southern accents like Miss. Hillary did or they can find the black accent that wasn’t there befo’, as Obama did. If a Republican gets within a half-mile of a Christian, however, liberals go berserk calling theocracy in progress.

 

Then there’s Nancy logic. Republicans are unethical, but we won’t talk about the ninety thousand dollars hidden in Congressman William Jefferson’s freezer or Abscam Jack’s past. We will call the President and Vice President incompetent liars and warmongers at every opportunity and then demand from them an immediate apology when our own judgment is questioned.

 

If you’re alGore, you can use more energy than it takes to power up and sustain my neighborhood while blaming global warming on someone else. You can make it better, however, if you buy carbon offsets from your own company. That is perfect liberal logic. If I use too much carbon-based energy, I can fix it by giving myself money while demanding that everyone else park their pick-up trucks. By the size of Al, I expect he contributes more methane to the environment than the average community does too. The only global warming Al or any of us needs to worry with is that which comes from a nuclear detonation. Millions of degrees at ground zero I hear.

 

Oh, just in case you missed it. Anna’s buried and Britney is still stupid.

 

If I were the leader of a terrorist organization with a goal of destroying the United States, I would never look for a direct confrontation like Afghanistan or Iraq. I’d keep the pressure up from the outside. A bomb here, a bomb there. Blow up a Church or two, a mall, a crowded theater, a sporting event. Then I would sit back and watch the country eat itself. Like it’s doing now.

 

I’ll be in the back yard working on the bunker.
