IS AMERICA HEADED FOR A SECOND CIVIL WAR OR REVOLUTION?

If the hateful divide between the left and right continues to widen, and if the vitriol continues to fly like tracers in a midnight firefight, then another civil war or revolution could be a logical outcome.

Is the government really attempting to usurp the Constitution as far as they must in order to place American citizens firmly under their control, or UN control?

Of course they are.

Why wouldn’t they? It’s not like those who oppose this outcome are really doing anything to prevent it. We’ve been turned into so many sheep. Instead of We The People, we’re now We The Sheeple. Why? Because we went to sleep on guard duty and shirked our duty to keep our politicians on OUR course, not theirs.

To borrow phrases: I was a soldier once… and young, but old soldiers never die. I continue to be prepared and loyal, and will remain at the ready until my final breath.

However this trend plays out, those of you out there who would rise up against our government’s tyranny might crystallize your mindsets by reading and remembering the dialogue below.

As Shakespeare’s protagonist King Henry V put it:

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead.
In peace there’s nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour’d rage;
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;
Let pry through the portage of the head
Like the brass cannon; let the brow o’erwhelm it
As fearfully as doth a galled rock
O’erhang and jutty his confounded base,
Swill’d with the wild and wasteful ocean.
Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide,
Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit
To his full height. On, on, you noblest English.
Whose blood is fet from fathers of war-proof!
Fathers that, like so many Alexanders,
Have in these parts from morn till even fought
And sheathed their swords for lack of argument:
Dishonour not your mothers; now attest
That those whom you call’d fathers did beget you.
Be copy now to men of grosser blood,
And teach them how to war. And you, good yeoman,
Whose limbs were made in England, show us here
The mettle of your pasture; let us swear
That you are worth your breeding; which I doubt not;
For there is none of you so mean and base,
That hath not noble lustre in your eyes.
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start. The game’s afoot:
Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
Cry ‘God for Harry, England, and Saint George!’

From Godfather Politics:

Even More Warning Signs: Obama Poised for Hostile Military Takeover of U.S. – Part 2

Read Part 1 here.

A week ago, I laid out a list of things President Obama has put in place to set the nation up for his hostile military takeover.

After my first post about Obama’s hostile military takeover, I received an  email from a reader that offered an explanation to my pondering of why NOAA  (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) would also be ordering millions of rounds of ammunition and assault rifles. He offered the idea that it is an ironic twist to Obama’s relationship with terrorist Bill Ayers.

Ayers was a wanted domestic terrorist back in the 1960s and 1970s. Ayers was a co-founder of the terrorist group known as the Weather Underground. Now, Obama is using NOAA, a federal weather agency to  stockpile weapons and ammunition for his terrorist assault on the American  people.

Today, I would like to add a few more items to that list that makes the case for his hostile military takeover even more compelling.

It has now been confirmed that the goal of the Department of Homeland Security is to purchase a total of 1.6  billion rounds of ammunition. A portion of that ammunition is hollow point bullets, which have been banned from use in war by international law. Another portion is specialized sniper ammunition.

In case you have a difficult time comprehending the significance of 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition, allow me to give you a couple of  comparisons.  During the height of the war in Iraq, the US  Army fired less than 6 million rounds per month. That means DHS has  enough ammunition to supply the US Army for 266.67 months (22.22 years) of  intense war.

Currently, the DHS uses approximately 15  million rounds of ammunition every year at their various training  facilities. At that rate, they have enough ammunition for 106.67 years of training.

So ask yourself, what is the justification for the purchase of 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition by the Department of Homeland Security, especially when some of it is illegal to use in war?  Now ask yourself why Sen. Dianne Feinstein is so concerned about private citizens stockpiling ammunition, weapons and using high capacity magazines when the federal government is doing the same time only a thousand times more?

Perhaps the abundance of ammunition goes along with the purchase of ‘Mine Resistant Protected’ MaxxPro MRAP vehicles that are scheduled to be deployed on the streets of America. The number of vehicles they are purchasing has not been released, but they are part of the 2,717 that have been recently retrofitted by the manufacturer. The DHS appears to be taking delivery of  the armored vehicles through the Marine Corps Systems Command located in Quantico, Virginia.

The scary part of the DHS acquiring MRAP vehicles is that they have been already been spotted in a number of cities throughout the country. DHS cannot deny their existence since a number of them have been photographed and videoed by citizen observers. Why would DHS need so many, assuming they are purchasing over a thousand, MRAP vehicles deployed throughout the US, unless they are preparing for a war of some kind. Now add to that question the  fact that the MRAP vehicles are equipped with gun ports.

There can be no doubt that Barack Hussein Obama is preparing for the bloodiest war in American history and it’s going to take place here on American soil.  When?  It has to be prior to the 2016 election, unless he  manages to force a constitutional amendment allowing himself to run for a third term. However, I truly don’t think the amendment will be necessary, because he plans to forcibly take control of the country prior to the election. Everything points to the conclusion that this is all in  preparation for a hostile military takeover.

A former US Marine and fellow veteran is joining the TMQ2 blog team. We won’t reveal his avatar or moniker at this point, but rest assured he shares our irreverent brew of wit, humor and satire with a big splash of Jarhead tossed in for good measure.

The following was part of his response to a question I asked about our chronic problem with Islamofascism.

“As far as the enemy—aka Islamic fascist cocksuckers—I’m done talking. I have nothing more to say. As far as I am concerned there is no place in western society that they should be allowed to live and coexist with sane and sensible human beings. And I’m just laying low—in the bush—waiting for the bitches to come full step into my kill zone.”

Stay tuned for more. He’ll be posting here soon!

Sun Tzu, Iran and Israel

Sun Tzu and The Art of War

When a country is faced with an outside threat like Israel is now facing with Iran, it forces the threatened to make a decision as to when and how to reduce that threat rather than waiting to be attacked. Adding politics to the mix generally derails the optimum solution. Unfortunately, politics and war, although strange bedfellows, can always be found under the same quilt. War is the bastard child of failed diplomacy.

Maybe Iran needs to be attacked before she can attack Israel. Maybe not. Meanwhile, Iran is hoping for Israel to do a preemptive strike. Why? Because then Iran can go balls to the wall with Israel and justify any moves claiming Israel struck first and Iran had no real intention of attacking Israel in the first place. They can do what Muslims do well, lie and play victim. And the other Muslims in the neighborhood would likely join in for a gang fight. Iran has played this out well. However, there is still wiggle room for Israel.

Israel is facing a classic Catch-22 and it appears as though she has only a two-choice scenario. If she sits idle, she risks obliteration. If she does a preemptive strike, she will be perceived as a bully on the world stage. One good thing about this Catch-22 is this: If you’re expecting a negative outcome no matter what you do, then by all means lop off your enemy’s head rather than his big toe.

Sun Tzu‘s war prescriptions apply well here. He wrote (I paraphrase, obviously): If your enemy is bigger and stronger, attack. If your enemy is smaller and weaker, surround them.

Q: So, I ask you, who’s following Sun Tzu’s tactics, Israel or Iran?

A: Probably both. Since Israel is already surrounded (by Muslim states), if they strike Iran first, then both sides would clearly be following the Sun Tzu war recipe.

As a result, there is at least a third choice here for Israel and perhaps it’s the best one. Call Iran’s bluff. Let them blink first. Muslims have a weak point. They always bring knives to gunfights. This is why they always get their asses kicked in the end and bring more shame upon themselves.

It might be wiser for Israel to take the third choice unless they receive an iron clad guarantee of US involvement (backing) from Obama’s administration prior to a preemptive strike. If US backing is not forthcoming, then Israel could wait for Iran to make the first move, thereby outmaneuvering Iran politically and derailing Obama’s chances at a second shot as POTUS, all in one fell swoop. If Obama then loses the election, Israel could bomb Iran unabated like LSD at a 1960s love-in. The Republicans would likely look the other way just as Obama is really looking the other way where Iran is concerned regardless of his tantalizing saber-rattling of late.

It requires huge cojones to stand your ground, look your enemy in the eye and wait for him to make the first move. You have to be prepared to react swiftly, decisively, and with lethal force. I know this from first hand experience.

Israel has always had a huge pair.

Since this whole bin Laddin extravaganza came about some things have come to my attention, which we don’t want to overlook.

Here they are in no specific order of relevance.

For starters, I’ve noticed that American officials i.e. Obama and Clinton have been pronouncing Muslim as ‘moose-sleem’ as opposed to ‘muzz-lum’

1.Is that some kind of politically correct accommodation in further deference to making us good dhimmis?

2.Being drunk feels good.

3.Before Obama has more time to make political capital from this event let’s remember that this is a guy who felt that we weren’t being nice enough to captured enemy combatants, i.e. terrorists.
How much intel would we have had if these assholes had been Miranda-ized and represented by ACLU lawyers?

Answer, zero. It was by keeping GITMO in operation and waterboarding these goats that enabled a carriage of justice. In other words you can thank Bush/Cheney.

4.And lastly, what may be truly amazing is that a team of special ops commandos was able to penetrate deep into unfriendly territory,take out a murderous terrorist, protect their country and make the world a better place and nobody is mad at the Jews.

GOD BLESS AMERICA

Joe Biden's zipper is open

Instead of calling it a war, which is precisely what bombing military assets of some other nation is, the loony left regime has chosen to tone down Obama’s illegal and impeachable (according to Joe Biden’s definition) actions taken against Libya by labeling it a ”Kinetic Military Action.”

I’m a scuffed-in Cavalry veteran. Excuse me while I laugh here. Ha ha ha.

Given the left’s obvious denial and subsequent rally to protect Obama “The Anointed One,” why not instead call the action against Libya a pillow fight? If one is aimimg for the absurd, why not go all the way?

Moreover, Obama has now yielded complete control of military action against Libya to the United Nations. Why? Perhaps to undo his mistake of sending military assets to Libya in the first place, again something Biden views as illegal (and the UN is as worthless as teats on a boar hog).

No matter how you slice it, we were at war with Libya for at least a handful of days. Yet Biden is eerily quiet on this subject he so energetically and angrily deployed against Dick Cheney and G.W. Bush when they contemplated using US troops to ”launch an attack on a foreign country without congressional authorization.” In that case it would have been Iran.

The tables have now turned. Obama-Biden is the new Bush-Cheney team and Libya is the foreign country in queston. They had no congressional authorization to attack. Oops!

Don’t get me wrong. I believe we should have gone in sooner and stayed the course until Wacky Qackdaffy was ousted. But fair is fair and somebody needs to press hypocritical Biden on this issue and sound off now just as he did in the article below.

Biden’s words about Bush:

Biden: Impeach President for Unauthorized Attack

Vice President Joe Biden has a very clear idea of what should happen to a president who orders U.S. military forces to launch an attack on a foreign country without congressional authorization: impeachment.

With some voices saying President Barack Obama should face impeachment for attacking Moammar Gadhafi’s forces in Libya, a videotape has surfaced from the 2007 campaign trail showing Biden threatening to impeach President George W. Bush if he attacked Iran without the approval of Congress.

“I have written an extensive legal memorandum with the help of a group of legal scholars who are sort of a stable of people, the best-known constitutional scholars in America, because for 17 years I was chairman of the Judiciary Committee,” Biden said in an interview with MSNBC’s Chris Matthews on “Hardball.”

“I asked them to put together [for] me a draft, which I’m now literally riding between towns editing, that I want to make clear and submit to the United States Senate pointing out the president has no authority to unilaterally attack Iran.

“And I want to make it clear, I want it on the record … if he does, as chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee and former chair of the Judiciary Committee, I will move to impeach him.”

He went on to say: “I think the best deterrent is for the president to know, even at the end of his term, we would move and move to follow through with that so his legacy would be marred for all time if he acted in what was clearly, clearly an impeachable offense.

“In the absence of that, what happens is, and you’re going to think I’m joking about this — I’m not. If you’re going to impeach George Bush you better impeach Cheney first. Not a joke.” src

So, if they’re going to impeach Obama, should they impeach Biden first? According to Biden, the answer is yes and “not a joke.” This could explain Biden’s silence on this subject.

The hypocritical double standard is obviously still alive and thriving inside the DC beltway.

Little Nicky

This post takes its title from a year 2000 Adam Sander movie in which his character’s mother is an angel and his father is Satan.

The post itself however is inspired by Thursday’s NY Times op-ed by Nicholas Kristof which shares the same level of dichotomy.

Little Nicky, the movie, I never saw.

Little Nicky, the op-ed piece brought a tear to my eye and warmed the cockles of my heart.

And believe me, my cockles need all the warmth they can get.

Kristof was effervescent, effusive and all a titter over American military action in Libya.

He was against the Iraq war because he knew that the Iraqi people really didn’t want us there.

But this time it’s different because the Libyans are thrilled to have us save them from a psychotic tyrant.

And what’s a little collateral damage in the course of saving lives?

My spider sense tells me that this little Nicky is bitch-yapping for his mack daddy in the White House.

All of a sudden a pointless war of choice on a sovereign nation is for duty and humanity. (This is not a defense of Quackdaffy)

This is the Little Nicky who drumbeats for every Islamist front group, who stated that the Egyptian protesters were no different from the Minutemen of 1776, and condemns Israel for any action it takes to save the humanity of its own citizens from death and destruction.

Unlike Adam Sandler’s character, this Little Nicky has no angel parentage, but was sired and borne by some old-fashioned czarist Antisemitism.

If we haven’t done so already Mr. Kristof, the editors at TMQ2 hereby invite you to:

SHUT THE FUCK UP

It’s Pearl Harbor Day!

December 7th, 1941: Unprovoked, the Japanese navy mercilessly attacked our navy at Pearl Harbor.

If you know any WWII veterans, give them a hug or shake their hand and thank them for their service to our country. The WWII vets are dying off rapidly and there are fewer and fewer each day. Thank them while you can. If it weren’t for them, we’d all be speaking Japanese, German, or both!

Minorities

We need to show more sympathy for these people.

  • They travel miles in the heat.
  • They risk their lives crossing a border.
  • They don’t get paid enough wages.
  • They do jobs that others won’t do or are afraid to do.
  • They live in crowded conditions among a people who speak a
    different language.
  •  They rarely see their families, and they face adversity all day ~ every day.

I’m not talking about illegal Mexicans. I’m talking about our troops! Doesn’t it seem strange that many Democrats and Republicans are willing to lavish all kinds of social benefits on illegal’s, but don’t support our troops, and are even threatening to defund them? If you wish, pass this on. It is worth the short time it takes to read it.

On June 14, 1775, Congress in Philadelphia authorized a new Continental Army to prosecute what had just become a shooting war with British regulars around Boston — dispatching Gen. George Washington to organize a siege of the city.

The army’s first major victory came only months later, as a daring nighttime expedition to install artillery at Dorchester Heights forced the British evacuation of the city.

Today, the United States Army celebrates its 234th birthday — marking a proud history in which it has triumphed everywhere from the breastworks of New Orleans to the beaches of Normandy and New Guinea to the streets of Baghdad.

Indeed, the ragtag force that nearly froze at Valley Forge has long since evolved into the most effective defender of human freedom in world history.

Not a bad record, that.

To be sure, today’s Army faces daunting challenges: After nearly eight years of war — most spent fighting a pair of grueling counterinsurgencies — it still must be prepared to defend America’s security from threats all over the world.

Yet the men and women who wear the uniform — some of their generation’s best and brightest — have never shrunk from the task.

Clearly, the country’s freedom remains in good hands.

Happy birthday.

And…

HAPPY FLAG DAY!

by Jonah Goldberg

IN his press conference Wednesday night, President Obama offered a nice little sermonette on “shortcuts.”

Asked about his decision to release the “torture memos” and ban waterboarding, Obama said: “I was struck by an article that I was reading the other day talking about the fact that the British during World War II, when London was being bombed to smithereens, had 200 or so detainees. And Churchill said, ‘We don’t torture,’ when . . . all of the British people were being subjected to unimaginable risk and threat . . . Churchill understood, you start taking shortcuts, over time, that corrodes what’s best in a people. It corrodes the character of a country.”

It’s a nice, honorable statement. But there’s not much evidence it’s true. (more…)

Time to Disambiguate Misunderstandings Surrounding U.S. Military Veteran Holidays

Today we honor our veterans, those who have served bravely and courageously to keep America safe, secure and free. Happy Veterans Day to those who are military veterans.

How is one classified a U.S. veteran?

From Wiki:

“The most common usage is for former armed services personnel. Veteran is one who has served in the armed forces, but usually not someone who had a dishonorable discharge. It is especially applied to those who served for an entire career, usually of 20 years or more, but may be applied for someone who has only served one tour of duty. A common misconception is that one had to have either been in combat and/or has retired from active duty to be called a military veteran. Because of this widely held misconception, women have sometime excluded themselves from veterans groups or benefits, despite military service.”

Also, I would love it if somebody would please “splain” to TV networks, Obama and the Democratic party, liberals, and anyone else who does not realize that Veterans Day is not the same as Memorial Day, and vice versa.

For their edification:

  • VETERANS DAY is for honoring LIVING veterans, observed each November 11th.
  • MEMORIAL DAY is for honoring DEAD veterans who were killed during wars/conflicts, observed the last Monday of each May.

Q: How do I know this?

A: I’m a DAV.

And…

Happy Birthday to the United States Marine Corp

To all Jarheads out there, especially to my best friend TB who is a Vietnam Veteran, we offer a hearty and belated Happy Birthday to the United States Marine Corp, which is observed each November 10th — the day before Veterans Day.

From Wiki:

“The United States Marine Corps traces its institutional roots to the Continental Marines of the American Revolutionary War, formed at Tun Tavern [gotta love that!] in Philadelphia, by a resolution of the Second Continental Congress on November 10, 1775, to raise 2 battalions of Marines. That date is regarded and celebrated as the date of the Marine Corps’ ‘birthday’.”

Got it now?

You’re welcome.

To my good friends and family: L’shonah tovah tikotavu. May you have a happy, healthy, useful, productive and if you’re so inclined, also a prosperous year. While we’re looking ahead to the next Jewish lunar calendar years, let’s look with all the useful insight one gets from an abundance of hindsight.

We’re in the thick of a presidential election season, and that season is further thickening a frantic financial brew that’s boiling, seemingly out-of-control. The outcomes of each will most certainly be affected by the condiments at hand. This is why, and even if it isn’t why, we still must adroitly manage several oil rich Muslim states (real or otherwise) and other rogue states and factions actively working against us and against Israel. All this while it’s not clear whose side the Democrats are on.

When you do vote on November 4, 2008, it’s best to choose someone who didn’t help get us in our current financial crisis. And it’s best to vote for someone who’s assimilated the lessons learned after mismanaging foreign affairs 70 years ago leading up to and then on September 29, 1938 when leaders of Germany, Italy, France and Great Britain: (more…)

Wall sign outside Marine HQ in Iraq

Iraq: Door sign on Marine Combat Operations Center

FALLUJAH, Iraq — Michael J. Totten is an independent journalist reporting on the war in Iraq. Here is a portion of his latest journal entry provided exclusively for FOXNews.com.

A sign on the door leading out of India Company’s Combat Operations Center says “Have a Plan to Kill Everyone You Meet.” For a fraction of second I thought it might be some kind of joke. But I was with the Marine Corps in Fallujah, and it wasn’t a joke.

I asked Captain Stewart Glenn if he could explain and perhaps elaborate a bit on what, exactly, that sign is about. “It’s pretty straightforward,” he said rather bluntly. “It means exactly what it says.”

I’ve been told by a friend who is personally involved in work at GITMO, that the Muslim fundamentalists there can’t get enough anal sex and pruno. In case you don’t know what pruno is:

Pruno or prison wine is an alcoholic liquid variously made from apples, oranges, fruit cocktail, ketchup, sugar, and possibly other ingredients — including bread. It originated in (and remains largely confined to) prisons, where it can be produced cheaply, easily, and discreetly. The concoction can be made using only a plastic bag, hot running water, and a towel or sock to conceal the pulp during fermentation. The end result has been colorfully described as a “vomit-flavored wine-cooler”, although it should be noted that flavor is not the primary objective. Depending on the time spent fermenting, the sugar content, and the quality of the ingredients and preparation, pruno’s alcohol content by volume can range from as low as 2% (equivalent to a weak beer) to as high as 14% (equivalent to a strong wine).
