We’re not doomed, hardly. The fedgoons are still outguned 100-1. Read “What I saw at the coup.”

I haven’t met too many 23 year olds that consider anything past perhaps planning for the weekend. Consequences are not an immediate consideration. Thirst for “action” will be their motivation. Well, if GenX/Y is any indication, thirst for praise and a pat on the head as well.

I wish I still had a copy of the “Leatherneck” magazine with the full-page back cover ad from the San Diego PD, touting their “direct military to SWAT” program.

It showed a SWAT cop in black from helemet to boot, with a black MP-5.

“Getting out? Still want the ACTION?”

Etc.

Yawohl, mein herr.

The “ice berg theory” is a PC way of saying, “Since we can’t find the few lone nuts in time, we’ll just have to attack the entire larger group.”

An easy visual lesson is posted at #103.

National Socialists and International Socialists.
And as far as the “racist” thing goes the most openly racist guxy I have ever known was a union loving Democrat from Detroit.

Saw a police department recruiting billboard in Albuquerque a few years ago that looked like it could have been the “Blackhawk Down” guys inserting into Mogadishu.

It’s lots of fun, especially when the taxpayers are paying for your unlimited ammo, demo, and pyro.

Reminds me of “Orville Crocker and Curt Behnke’s Excellent Adventure”.

More in a long line of offenses from West Point.. Delta Force Hero Can't Speak at West Point Because of his Christian Beliefs A three-star Army general and war hero cannot speak at West Point because he’s an outspoken Christian. So the Obama administration’s hostility toward religion—and especially Christians—continues even to the detriment of our men and women in uniform. Lieutenant General William G. (“Jerry”) Boykin is like an action-movie hero. When the super-elite Delta Force was formed in late 1970s—our top counter-insurgent military unit that the Pentagon still does not officially discuss—this ranger in the 101st Airborne unit was tapped to be part of it. In 1983 he was in Grenada, where Boykin survived being hit by a round from a .50-caliber gun. (Many anti-aircraft guns are “.50-cal,” and a single round can split a human body in two.) In 1992 and 93, he was part of the Delta Force team hunting (and unofficially killing) drug lord Pablo Escobar. Then in 1993, Boykin was the commanding officer of the mission in the Battle of Mogadishu in Somalia forever memorialized in the movie “Black Hawk Down.” After these heroics, General Boykin he served as the commanding general of U.S. Army Special Forces Command, then commanding general of U.S. Army Special Warfare Center. He also served at the CIA and as Deputy Undersecretary of Intelligence at the Department of Defense. Jerry Boykin has done it all. He’s been in battle as part of America’s most elite fighting force, then rose to command those troops as a general, and also served in the CIA and Pentagon on the strategic planning and management side of this equation. He is also a Christian evangelist who speaks at churches nationwide. As a private citizen retired from the Army, General Boykin was invited to speak at a prayer breakfast at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. He seems like an ideal choice, as someone who has served as the tip of the spear at the highest ranks, who is also a man of profoundly deep faith. But the Far Left exploded. Boykin has cast America’s war against radical Islamic terrorists as fighting Satan. So his religious language has made strange bedfellows of various Islamic groups joining with atheists to call on West Point to disinvite this American hero who risked and achieved so much for this country. Evidently it’s not politically correct to suggest that blowing up children is the devil’s work. After heavy pressure, General Boykin chose to withdraw. This soldier fears no foe, but the situation evolved in a direction where his message of faith and courage would be overshadowed by controversy to the possible detriment of the West Point cadets. This sad episode is yet another example of the Obama administration’s ongoing hostility to people of faith, especially Christians. President Obama’s pick to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is a lesbian activist who says that homosexual rights should always trump religious liberty. This is the same EEOC that argued it had the power to order a church to reinstate as a minister a person the church had fired for violating church teaching, a position the Supreme Court unanimously rejected. And the administration has enacted regulations under Obamacare forcing Evangelical and Catholic universities and hospitals to provide contraceptives against the religious beliefs of those church-affiliated institutions. Now this hostility is doing a disservice to our military. People of deep faith are opposed and marginalized by the Obama administration’s civilian political appointees. Weeks ago, they were caught banning Bible reading at Walter Reed hospital, a policy they immediately reversed when the media picked it up and House Republicans demanded answers. All this paints a picture of radical secularism. Many of the greatest heroes our military has ever seen were people of fervent prayer and deep faith. Many find their battlefield courage in their unshakeable belief that their sins are forgiven, their lives are in God’s hands, and that when they die they would go to an eternal reward. Sounds like the kind of people you want at a prayer breakfast for those who may soon land on one of those battlefields.

It appears this Arie Perliger fellow is a ‘77 grad of West Point.

“Mikey Weinstein”, who makes a pain-in-the-backside of himself trying to prevent religious expression at the Air Force Academy, is also a ‘77 grad of that (Blue Zoo) institution.

I wonder if the classes of ‘77 have any other surprises for us, or is it just an unfortunate coincidence?

“Read “What I saw at the coup.”

Already did. I don’t really believe we are doomed. :)

This is old news. The son of one of my dearest friends is a USMA graduate from about 2005 or 2006. This kid was fed the same garbage and bought it hook line and sinker. He's in the tank for Obama completely and he's not only former infantry -- airborne ranger -- (now he's out and in law school) but he got himself a bronze star with "V-Device" while in Afghanistan (two tours and Iraq one tour). He's an atheist (his dad, my friend, is a born again Christian who taught for 40 years in the public schools and now has a ministry in D.C. associated with Congress). I feel so sad for the kid and more so for the dad.

How difficult is it going to be in Heaven when you know that one or more of your kids is burning in Hell because they weren't saved by the blood of Christ? Because they refused to accept that free gift? I have a sister in the same boat along with her kids and husband. It's beyond me how I can be in Heaven and be free of all pain and sorrow with that knowledge, even though I have done my best to bring them around. My mom even gave it a shot from her deathbed.

Hard times ahead, that’s for sure. Trials and etc.
