Thursday Big Honking Brass “Giblets” Open Comments

There are people who, in the spur of the moment, perform almost inhuman acts of bravery and courage. People at whom the events of the moment are thrust in such a way that the person either overcomes them or is utterly destroyed.
Then there are those who willingly enter into events of great peril after a great deal of prior thought and consideration, yet go anyway.
Witold Pilecki is one such person.

“I think he knew, he realized what he was getting himself into,” said Jacek Pawlowicz, a historian at Poland’s Institute of National Remembrance. “But even so, he was not prepared for the things he was actually able to witness.”

You see, Mr. Pilecki, after hearing of the horrors going on in a nearby prison camp decided to get arrested and be brought to that camp to investigate further. The prison camp was not just any prison camp, hellish as they might have been.
The prison camp Mr. Pilecki volunteered to enter was likely the most infamous of all. A camp where up to 1,500,000 prisoners were executed, or better said, exterminated.

Auschwitz.

    I never made it to Poland but did visit Dachau, the first camp, opened 51 days after the Nazis assumed power. According to Wiki, at least 3000 Catholic priests, deacons and bishops ended up there.
    Members of the American 42nd and 45th Infantry Divisions liberated 32,000 prisoners at Dachau on April 29. 1945.

    I don’t drink soft drinks and never liked Pepsi when I did.
    However, I think it’s noteworthy to bring attention to this.
    Pepsi sponsoring Hamas soccer stadium and teams in the Gaza Strip.
    According to Elder of Ziyon, each time someone posts a comment about it on Pepsi USA’s Facebook page the comment is removed without explanation.
    A little curious, wouldn’t you say ?

    I loved this one. Anybody remember New York book review editor Sam Tanenhaus’ obituary for conservatism, Conservatism Is Dead: An intellectual autopsy of the movement, published shortly after Obama’s inauguration ?
    The leftish literati went wild, but where is Sammy now ?

    HAS ANYONE HEARD from Sam Tanenhaus lately? Many weeks have elapsed since his byline has appeared in print, no one can remember the last time Tanenhaus appeared on TV, and certainly his friends must be deeply worried about him by now. Has Tanenhaus succumbed to chronic depression? Has he gone off on a binge in Las Vegas? Has he met with foul play? The thought of filing a missing person’s report has crossed my mind.

    oh, and this,

    When last I checked, The Death of Conservatism could be purchased for one cent from Amazon.com, and the sales ranking for Tanenhaus’s formerly acclaimed volume was 585,392—not even among the top half-million most popular books.

    If it wasn’t for bad luck, Barry wouldn’t have any luck at all.
    Bill Gertz breaks this news.

    Russia’s government announced on Wednesday it is pulling out of the multi-billion dollar Cooperative Threat Reduction program that since the early 1990s helped Moscow dismantle nuclear weapons and missiles, United States officials said.
    Russia’s Foreign Ministry announced that it does not plan to extend the agreement with the U.S. when it expires next year.
    The program, funded by legislation sponsored by Sen. Richard Lugar (R., Ind.) and former Sen. Sam Nunn (D., Ga.), became known as the Nunn-Lugar program and was used to help secure Soviet-era nuclear stockpiles and prevent the scientists and technicians in the Russian nuclear program from selling their expertise abroad.

    Early in this century, Liberals dominated the blogosphere. Conservatives, through the power of thier ideas and logic, had come to dominate other forms of media, FOX News pre-eminent among them, and we were slow to see the potential of this new media. As “regular” folks started getting on to the internet for thier information and conversation, they entered an arena in which Liberals had a headstart in gaining control of their hearts and minds. Blogs like Democratic Underground and Daily Kos and magazines like Slate were already in full swing and were gaining gravitas (however undeserved), thier arguments went largely unchallenged and what few techo-savvy Conservatives were shouted down with invective and snark.
    As Conservatives began entering the blogoshpere, therefore, we were inundated with commenters who had already been used to getting thier information from online sources, and had honed thier commenting technique in the Liberal sites. A few days ago the names Wil Barnes, Feagan, and Anti Fascist were mentioned and serve as examples of the type.
    Quite Frankly, Liberals had won the online information war of the first ten years of this century. One saving grace, however, was the fact that as more Conservatives began entering this arena with cogent ideas and an ability to argue them logically, more Liberals also began coming in to participate.
    The Obama campaign has noticed, and commented.

    The event, described in the Kirkland House Wikipedia entry, is an annual “debaucherous dance open only to [male and female] members of the house.”
    Harvard’s official student newspaper, The Crimson, also mentions the event in it campus life guide.

    Is Harvard still considered a top tier institution of higher learning or izzit merely another liberal indoctrination zone for the top 1%?

    From Dennis Prager – as found through Facebook:

    To the students and faculty of our high school:
    I am your new principal, and honored to be so. There is no greater calling than to teach young people.
    I would like to apprise you of some important changes coming to our school. I am making these changes because I am convinced that most of the ideas that have dominated public education in America have worked against you, against your teachers and against our country.
    First, this school will no longer honor race or ethnicity. I could not care less if your racial makeup is black, brown, red, yellow or white. I could not care less if your origins are African, Latin American, Asian or European, or if your ancestors arrived here on the Mayflower or on slave ships.
    The only identity I care about, the only one this school will recognize, is your individual identity — your character, your scholarship, your humanity. And the only national identity this school will care about is American. This is an American public school, and American public schools were created to make better Americans.
    If you wish to affirm an ethnic, racial or religious identity through school, you will have to go elsewhere. We will end all ethnicity-, race- and non-American nationality-based celebrations. They undermine the motto of America, one of its three central values — e pluribus unum, “from many, one.” And this school will be guided by America’s values.
    This includes all after-school clubs. I will not authorize clubs that divide students based on any identities. This includes race, language, religion, sexual orientation or whatever else may become in vogue in a society divided by political correctness.
    Your clubs will be based on interests and passions, not blood, ethnic, racial or other physically defined ties. Those clubs just cultivate narcissism — an unhealthy preoccupation with the self — while the purpose of education is to get you to think beyond yourself. So we will have clubs that transport you to the wonders and glories of art, music, astronomy, languages you do not already speak, carpentry and more. If the only extracurricular activities you can imagine being interesting in are those based on ethnic, racial or sexual identity, that means that little outside of yourself really interests you.
    Second, I am uninterested in whether English is your native language. My only interest in terms of language is that you leave this school speaking and writing English as fluently as possible. The English language has united America’s citizens for over 200 years, and it will unite us at this school. It is one of the indispensable reasons this country of immigrants has always come to be one country. And if you leave this school without excellent English language skills, I would be remiss in my duty to ensure that you will be prepared to successfully compete in the American job market. We will learn other languages here — it is deplorable that most Americans only speak English — but if you want classes taught in your native language rather than in English, this is not your school.
    Third, because I regard learning as a sacred endeavor, everything in this school will reflect learning’s elevated status. This means, among other things, that you and your teachers will dress accordingly. Many people in our society dress more formally for Hollywood events than for church or school. These people have their priorities backward. Therefore, there will be a formal dress code at this school.
    Fourth, no obscene language will be tolerated anywhere on this school’s property — whether in class, in the hallways or at athletic events. If you can’t speak without using the f-word, you can’t speak. By obscene language I mean the words banned by the Federal Communications Commission, plus epithets such as “Nigger,” even when used by one black student to address another black, or “bitch,” even when addressed by a girl to a girlfriend. It is my intent that by the time you leave this school, you will be among the few your age to instinctively distinguish between the elevated and the degraded, the holy and the obscene.
    Fifth, we will end all self-esteem programs. In this school, self-esteem will be attained in only one way — the way people attained it until decided otherwise a generation ago — by earning it. One immediate consequence is that there will be one valedictorian, not eight.
    Sixth, and last, I am reorienting the school toward academics and away from politics and propaganda. No more time will devoted to scaring you about smoking and caffeine, or terrifying you about sexual harassment or global warming. No more semesters will be devoted to condom wearing and teaching you to regard sexual relations as only or primarily a health issue. There will be no more attempts to convince you that you are a victim because you are not white, or not male, or not heterosexual or not Christian. We will have failed if any one of you graduates this school and does not consider him or herself inordinately lucky — to be alive and to be an American.
    Now, please stand and join me in the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of our country. As many of you do not know the words, your teachers will hand them out to you.

    Biden prepares for the debate:

    “I don’t want to say anything in the debate that’s not completely accurate,” he told reporters late last week.

    Given Biden’s propensity to say – and then believe – whatever happens to pop out of his mouth, I hope that Ryan is well-versed on Biden’s biography and calls him on whatever lies Biden manages to slip in.

    #17 Sarge: From your linkie:

    1) Shifts in wind patterns and the 2) giant ozone hole over the Antarctic this time of year — both related to human activity — are probably behind the increase in ice, experts say. This subtle growth in winter sea ice since scientists began measuring it in 1979 was initially surprising, they say, but makes sense the more it is studied.

    1) Tell me please Mr. oh so smart Scientist: How can man change wind patterns?
    2) Isn’t the ozone hole over the Antarctic always biggest at this time of the year because the Antarctic has been dark for several months? Doesn’t THE SUN cause ozone to form?
    Further, how do you explain the temperature shifts from hot to cold to bring on the Dark Ages, then from cold to hot to bring on the Renaissance, then the mini ice age that occurred at the time of the American Revolution? How is it that the Vikings could settle Iceland and grow crops at one time and now it is too cold for agriculture in Iceland? Wouldn’t that imply that the globe is cooling instead of warming and how is mankind responsible for any of the recorded temperature changes prior to the industrial revolution?
    What about all the indicated temperature/climate changes in the geologic record prior to the arrival of mankind on the planet; how are those explained and are the same processes at play now, could they be employed to explain our current supposed temperature changes?
    How does the variable output from the sun affect us here on earth? Why is the temperature on Mars increasing, what does mankind have to do with that?
    One would think that if even half of the questions raised above could not be reasonably answered, then any drastic actions that will almost certainly cause economic hardship would be unreasonable wouldn’t they?

    *WHOOPS* – did we miss another “hateful” movie being posted on youtube?
    Methinks NOT……………….

    On the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington DC, our consulate in Benghazi was sacked, and four Americans murdered, including our Ambassador, J. Christopher Stevens. The Obama administration considered that just a coincidence in its public statements on the attack for several days, insisting that the attack was a “spontaneous demonstration” that just “spun out of control.” Later, we discovered that there was no protest at the time, and the Obama administration had designated this a terrorist attack within the first 24 hours.

    AND

    Tomorrow, as the Boss Emeritus points out, is the 12th anniversary of the bombing of the USS Cole in Aden, Yemen. Is this just another coincidence, too?

    Given Biden’s propensity to say – and then believe – whatever happens to pop out of his mouth, I hope that Ryan is well-versed on Biden’s biography and calls him on whatever lies Biden manages to slip in.

    Here’s Joe’s problem:
    One of the big reasons the poll numbers for Romney have improved since the first debate is that Barry and Co. had spent half a billion dollars painting him as a bad person (in other words, the usual Modus Operandi when facts work against them) and a realtively nice guy showed up for the People to see.
    Ryan has been painted as being actually evil. His main task is not be the person the Democrats say he is, which will be easy because he’s not. If he doesn’t eat a baby or toss an old person out of thier wheel chair while on stage, he’ll be 10 points ahead.
    Biden’s challenge is a bit harder. He has to show the People that he’s not a total dunce. Not that he’s a stupid man, but if he makes one mistake he will confirm the impression a lot of people have of him.

    Well, that’s one way to lower unemployment.

    Initial jobless claims–a measure of layoffs–were down by 30,000 to a seasonally adjusted 339,000 in the week ended Oct. 6, the Labor Department said Thursday. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires had forecast 365,000 new applications for jobless benefits last week.
    However, the report may not be as positive as the sharp drop indicates. A Labor Department economist said one large state didn’t report additional quarterly figures as expected, accounting for a substantial part of the decrease.

    The moderator is horrible–Joe got off easy on Libya.
    Total cover up. A man is in jail for making a video and Obumma trashed the individual.

    The moderator is letting Biteme get away with too much.

    biden is stuck on a false premise, he knows it, therefore he is a lying sack of crap.

    Biteme has no clue that telling the enemy when you are going to leave is not good policy.

    I don’t think there’s a person in the entire world, including the Obama regime, that doesn’t know what an epic failure that was. They can keep on spouting the lies but no one believes them.

    Biden is doing better than I thought he would. Ryan’s getting run over. Biden is bugging me by interrupting Ryan all the time, but he’s getting more talk time. I’d be interested to see what the minutes add up to at the end.

    Ryan needs to butch up and be more aggressive with Biteme.

    Has anybody noticed the ties? Ryan’s tie is red with blue stripes – an indication of bipartisanship? Biden’s blue striped alone.

    How SAD and pathetic is it that Biden has availed himself immensely more effectively (as replete with LIES as it has been) than his own BOSS?
    I may be more sad about the ongoing demise of this nation now than I ever have been – HOW did these losers ever get there to begin with?

    Ryan had a good line – “at a time when we have a jobs crisis, wouldn’t it be good to have a job creator?”

    Wuss Blister is drooling on himself and calling the debate a draw. He’s happy that Biteme did better than his own HNP.

    Without any external input – and IMHO………………this evening did NOT help – at best we ‘trod water’……………it will take Romney spankin TOTUS the next ’round to truly make the positive difference…………

    I am disappointed with Ryan, he was not nearly tough enough and he did not call out the lies of Biteme. I call the debate a draw.

    #110 Whiskers: I am looking forward to Rmoney putting it to 0 again, but this time even harder. If he does it is all over but the crying.
    Biden put on a better performance but he lied his arse off which is why I called it a draw.

    OK, I have a question, WTF was Biteme doing grinning like a possum eating saw briars? Did he or his handlers think that, that would be effective?!?! Or, or was he just drunk?! He looked like an IDIOT!

    #116: I think he was trying to put on the Mr. Cool look to fool the low info voters. If one did not know any of the facts associated, one would conclude Biteme gave the stronger performance. The laughing and schizzle eating grin makes it seem that he did not take this debate seriously which is a big misjudgement as it is very serious.

    The debate was pretty much a draw, mainly because Ryan didn’t stand his ground when the village idiot kept interupting him. I’m guessing that Ryan didn’t want to seem rude, everyone knows that the village idiot is rude.

    I’m glad I saw that with S.O. If ever a Low Information Voter existed, it is she, and she is the type of voter who is in play—-everybody else has made up their mind.
    She wanted to watch because of what she heard about the first debate. She nodded off after Libya and the economy. She said two things of note. One during the debate where she said “Biden sure knows where the camera is.” and the other after the debate when I asked her how she thought he had done. “He looked like an azzhole.”
    If here experience is repeated many times over, and soties like one state not being counter to calculate the unemployment figure and mothers of men who died in Libya saying that the Administration is covering up the way thier sons died, things will go well in November.

    I flipped over to the Communist News Network early on and wound up staying there because they had a chart/graph running along the bottom showing what the independant/undecided folks were thinking and what struck me was that Ryan was almost always above 50% and Biteme was NEVER over 50%. The other thing is that the wimmin’s were always higher than the men when Ryan spoke!? So is he sexy?!?! I know that he’s a great guy but I’d have never figured that he’d appeal to the females that much. Shows what I know….sigh

    Speaking as a woman:
    1) Ryan appears youthful and energetic. Besides the obvious physical attractiveness – which appeals to a certain set of voters – it also makes me want him as president. Most women like strong, virile men as leaders. Ryan looked like that. Biden appeared strong in some respects, but i also see those dentures and gray hair and wonder – senility?
    2) Biden’s constant interrupting of Ryan was annoying as heck. It also reminds women of those men in their lives who’ve treated them the same way. I wanted to slap the crap out of the old man. I marveled at Ryan’s patience in dealing what seems like an old fart.
    3) The demeaning smile also affected me the same way as #2. Every woman (and maybe a few men) have had some incident where some man treated her like a child. It may have been at age 10, or age 40, but those things stick with us. When I saw that smirk on Biden’s face, I took it as an attempt to demean Ryan’s eligibility for the office. Again, I wanted to slap the ever-lovin’ crap outta the man.
    4) His constant laughter, even during serious moments, made me wonder again – senility?
    5) What I saw in Ryan was patience and respect for “an elder”. I wish he’d been more aggressive, but Biden’s constant whining about time when he kept interrupting Ryan during his time made me want to, well, slap the ever-lovin’ crap outta him.
    Overall, I’d say the debate was a draw, but mostly because Ryan was debating the moderator as well as Biden. She also seemed sincere in her efforts to keep Ryan from making his points.

    Biden is being taken to the woodshed by a lot of the media for his laughing. Not as bad as they ripped Obammy, but I am so glad to hear it!

    Sweetie is not political, although more right wing than me by nature. The smirking and laughing had her POed big time all the while I’m figuring the old man is scoring points. Seems most agree with her, shows what I know.

    That’s on account of you ain’t a handsome debbil like me & Ryan. You just aren’t pretty.
    You wouldn’t understand what a burden that can be.

    Joe reminds me of one of my uncles. He’s a lefty who’s lived off the gumbint for most of my life. Always had a get-rich-quick scheme that always ended in failure, usually taking someone else down with him. He literally “lives in a van down by the river”. Now he’s a grouchy old man that blames Republicans for his sorry lot in life.

  120. Hamous Avatar

    I used to try and argue with him but it was…well…like arguing with Bobo. Now I have fun. At fambly gatherings I walk up to whatever crowd he’s in and throw out some partisan political talking point to get things going then walk away and watch the melee begin.
