It took some real arrogance to get that epically stuck.

Knowing your limits is your friend in four wheeling.

Making the AC-130J

Wow

How it works

Seems there is a little trouble on the ground there.

Get a load of this. RFK jr. wants to put you in jail if you don't believe there is global warming

Why is it always this way with leftists?  The difference between this and what Pol Pot did in Cambodia is only one of degree.  Force those that disagree with your precious thoughts to either self censor or suffer imprisonment.  Or a bullet to the back of the head.



This attitude from none other than RFK jr. is deeply un-American, and the fact that it exists in someone of his political stature is truly frightening.  How different is he than any number of Democrats in government?  How far away is his position from Obama's penchant to use presidential orders to legislate, or to trick the government into behaving directly contrary to clear and existing law, as it has been passed by the people's representatives in Congress?  In other words, if they want it bad enough, what's to stop the left from seriously harassing those who disagree with them, or even jailing their political opponents, as RFK jr. so emphatically wants to do?  Oh wait, already happened through the misuse of the IRS!

Dark people indeed, and we Americans should be vigilant, as much worse crimes than even this foul Kennedy wants could very easily happen here.

Sometimes the force is with you...

This was entertaining

Celebrities and their historical doppelgangers.  There are 34 of them, but my favorites are these three.

The winner is Alec Baldwin and Millard Fillmore. This is good because I'm sure Alec would hate the comparison.  His massive, planetary sized ego needs puncturing as often as possible.

Sylvester Stallone and some guy standing behind Pope Gregory the IX.

The Pope is the guy with the fancy hat, Stallone's distant relative is perhaps just a cardinal, but I'm sure he could yell, "Adrian!" just as loudly.

This is just creepy.  Caligula and actor Jack Gleeson, a freaky resemblance many centuries apart.

It was that close...

I like how the gif stops just before impact.

Seems appropriate to post this today

Watch out ISIS, this man is going to get you!

Freckles, they are good

As are smiles

The New York Times has a strange idea about Christian theology

Via Ed Driscoll, a shining example of the value of multiple layers of fact checkers and editors.

Naturally, they mean was buried, before that thing happened for which we celebrate Easter.

Obama disses the Marines. The Marines remember to respect the office, not necessarily the man.

The White House supposedly released this.  If so, they are completely ok with the disrespect, or they are as clueless on proper protocol as they are on seemingly all other subjects.

Events overtake cheap political rhetoric

How many of these ideas, meant purely to damage western nations and their culture, can you hear spouted by your news casters, your school board, or your neighbors?

Eric Raymond over at Armed and Dangerous has put up this interesting perspective:

  "On a different level, in the 1930s members of CPUSA (the Communist Party of the USA) got instructions from Moscow to promote non-representational art so that the US’s public spaces would become arid and ugly.

Americans hearing that last one tend to laugh. But the Soviets, following the lead of Marxist theoreticians like Antonio Gramsci, took very seriously the idea that by blighting the U.S.’s intellectual and esthetic life, they could sap Americans’ will to resist Communist ideology and an eventual Communist takeover. The explicit goal was to erode the confidence of America’s ruling class and create an ideological vacuum to be filled by Marxism-Leninism.

Accordingly, the Soviet espionage apparat actually ran two different kinds of network: one of spies, and one of agents of influence. The agents of influence had the minor function of recruiting spies (as, for example, when Kim Philby was brought in by one of his tutors at Cambridge), but their major function was to spread dezinformatsiya, to launch memetic weapons that would damage and weaken the West.

In a previous post on Suicidalism, I identified some of the most important of the Soviet Union’s memetic weapons. Here is that list again:

• There is no truth, only competing agendas.
• All Western (and especially American) claims to moral superiority over Communism/Fascism/Islam are vitiated by the West’s history of racism and colonialism.
• There are no objective standards by which we may judge one culture to be better than another. Anyone who claims that there are such standards is an evil oppressor.
• The prosperity of the West is built on ruthless exploitation of the Third World; therefore Westerners actually deserve to be impoverished and miserable.
• Crime is the fault of society, not the individual criminal. Poor criminals are entitled to what they take. Submitting to criminal predation is more virtuous than resisting it.
• The poor are victims. Criminals are victims. And only victims are virtuous. Therefore only the poor and criminals are virtuous. (Rich people can borrow some virtue by identifying with poor people and criminals.)
• For a virtuous person, violence and war are never justified. It is always better to be a victim than to fight, or even to defend oneself. But ‘oppressed’ people are allowed to use violence anyway; they are merely reflecting the evil of their oppressors.
• When confronted with terror, the only moral course for a Westerner is to apologize for past sins, understand the terrorist’s point of view, and make concessions.

As I previously observed, if you trace any of these back far enough, you’ll find a Stalinist intellectual at the bottom."

I doubt that the vast majority of people who believe in these ideas would associate them with a Marxist plan that had at it's core a purpose to destroy our society, but that is exactly what it is.  Chew on that the next time someone gets all warm and fuzzy over multi culturalism or moral relativism.
