[ ]today, it would be difficult to argue that there is not such a thing as American irrelevance. Favoring the Muslim Brotherhood and speaking in patently naïve and platitudinous rhetoric calling for reconciliation between the Egyptian military and the Brotherhood, the Obama administration suspended aid to the military regime in Egypt. Within hours, the Saudis stepped in to replace the suspended aid and showed that the administration’s threats were as meaningless as they were stupid.
In the meantime, Russian President Vladimir Putin has slid into the great-power vacuum to call an extraordinary meeting of the Kremlin and announce that Russia is putting all her military facilities at Egypt’s disposal. Putin also announced Russia’s willingness to replace America in the joint military exercises the Obama administration cancelled as part of its escalating sanctions against the Egyptian military. Igor Morozov, chairman of the foreign affairs committee in the upper house of Russia’s parliament, chastised the American administration for not understanding the threat the Muslim Brotherhood was to the entire region.http://pjmedia.com/blog/putin-is-the-victor-in-egypt-as-obama-stumbles/?singlepage=true

Good morning Hamsters. Coolish 74 at 6 as we wait for those showers at the coast to wander this way. Yesterday’s brief afternoon shower deposited a trace in the rain gauge, if you looked at just the correct angle. Sigh. Today is another day, another chance.
IMHO Vladimir is not a nut by any stretch; it is the occupant of the White House, a self-absorbed, fixated-socialist adolescent, who makes Neville Chamberlain and Jimmah Cawter look like genius material. Putin is a patriot to his country and well aware of the Muslim Brotherhood influence and danger to it. The Russians also keep track of who enters and remains in their country. The royal crest of the Romanovs again adorns official places after the fall of the USSR. It’s said that Putin despises traitors regardless of which country they dishonor. He has taken advantage of The Enemy of My Enemy Is My Friend scenario that Obama helped to create by voting Present so often as President. It’s been easy pickings. -
#2 – What the writer fails to point out is that Zero is, if not the leader, at least a high ranking officer in the Muslum Brotherhood. The author claims that the administration did not recognize the threat the MB posed to the entire region, yet I claim once again that he not only recognizes the threat, he supports it as a member of the group. How else can you explain his behavior in this matter, and particularly if you look at all his other decisions. He is determined to destroy this nation at all costs, he is not a fool as some would claim. If he were just poorly informed or ignorant of world affairs, just by accident he would occasionally get something right – just like the blind hog finding an acorn occasionally. Sorry, he’s still batting 1000 at this time. If you are looking for someone who is just an idiot, look at McCain or Grahamnesty.

Morning! I had forgotten about that half-cat I sent Pyro. 🙂
I got just 0.1″ yesterday but was glad to have that evenly distributed over the grass I had brutally mown down on Saturday. Job 1 this morning was to jump start husband’s car and follow him to the shop to have a new battery put in. We got rained on in fits and starts, but more is predicted for later in the day. First time I’ve seen “80%” for my zip code in a long time. -

11 Hamous,
First, I am totally ignorant of any general education (or instructions) given to our officers and enlisted men that the founding fathers were radicals, but as purely academic exercise…….
The founding fathers were indeed radicals if you compare them to the royalists. The latter would have been regarded as the “conservatives” of the day. When Ben Franklin spoke of “Hanging Together or surely Hanging Separately”, I am sure he was not talking about double parking the carriage outside the Customs House.
A lot has been blown out of proportion about the “Sons of Liberty” and the infamous “Boston Tea Party” of late. Could they be considered terrorists? I am not sure terrorist applies, but at the time what would you call someone who destroyed another person or company’s private property. Indeed, the “party” was not known as such for nearly a half century because the people of the time regarded the act as a out and out theft of private property. Ironically, most of the elements of the Townsend Acts were repealed in 1770 with one exception. You guessed it; the tax on tea remained in place.
Remember Patrick Henry [“Give me Liberty or Give me Death”]? Although a signer of the Declaration of Independence he was no fan of the Constitution and actually favored a loose confederation of the states. He finally fell into line with the Federalists after witnessing the anarchy of the French Revolution.
As for soldiers/sailors/Marines/ or airmen not being able to posess Bibles….This really runs counter to everything that I have read. There are regulations against proselytizing, but the same can be said for most businesses.
I have a lot more faith in our country than it appears you do. Will it all end some day? Probably, but not until there is no longer a middle class and no man or woman can HOPE to make a better life for their children. Today is not as rosy as it was for me growing up, but that is a blessing in disguise. Tougher times make tougher people.

Well then, educate yourself. That’s why I provided a link. Let me make it … simpler. Here’s a link to the actual document obtain by Judicial Watch via FOIA.
The founding fathers were indeed radicals if you compare them to the royalists. The latter would have been regarded as the “conservatives” of the day.
With all due respect, that’s jabberwockey. The founding fathers were the founding fathers. This country exists because of them and the men and women who supported them. They were only radical if one looks at the American Revolution from the British perspective.
As for soldiers/sailors/Marines/ or airmen not being able to posess Bibles….This really runs counter to everything that I have read.
Perhaps you should read more. The Pentagon banned Bibles and other religious artifacts from military hospitals until a few congressmen raised so much hell they had to reverse their decision. The VA banned prayer at national cemeteries until a judge forced them to drop it.
You seem to be suffering from some bizarre form of moral relativism. -
There is no shortage of evidence that political correctness is the order of the day in the military.

You have a winning ticket in the rain lottery. So did we this morning for about 15 minutes of slow rain trailing off to mist and then occasional drops early in the afternoon. Since then, nada.
The Forbes article is interesting and–to me anyway–realistic. Was intrigued by the 1936 picture of a nurse instilling drops in a newborn’s eyes, but nowhere in the article was it referenced. What I conclude is it was a picture found in an archive to illustrate the historic role of nurses in this country. The caption could have been more informative.
My Mom was a 1933 graduate of the Madison General Hospital School of Nursing (Madison, WI) and was a Registered Nurse. In that era RNs always wore their caps on duty, identifying them as RNs. Each nursing school had its distinctive style of cap, and the capping ceremony was quite an event. I have a cap from Mom’s school that I ordered for her a few years before she passed away at age 90.
The nurse in the picture is not wearing a cap, though that might be because she has come directly from the delivery room where one would of course not be wearing one. The drops are most likely silver nitrate (a potent germicide) to prevent eye disease/damage (end stage blindness) from venereal disease. The law required medical staff to instill these drops in newborn eyes to prevent such. This is the era before antibiotics, and there wasn’t much in the drug arsenal to combat VD then. Culturing for VD could not be done soon enough to prevent infection and subsequent damage to the baby’s eyes if contracted in passage through the birth canal should the mother happen to be infected. So all newborns received the silver nitrate drops. As I recall, sulfa drugs were the biggest guns available then. -
It’s not even political correctness any more. They are becoming openly hostile to Christians.

30 Hamous,
I used your link and viewed the 133 page document. I did a search for “Bibles” OR “Bible” and could not find a single reference to said book within the confines of the 133 pages.
I did find this reference to the founding fathers in the section of Extremist Ideologies.As noted, an ideology is a set of political beliefs about the nature of people and society. People who are committed to an ideology seek not only to persuade but to recruit others to their belief. In U.S. history, there are many examples of extremist ideologies and movements. The colonists who sought to free themselves from British rule and the Confederate states who sought to secede from the Northern states are just two examples.
I have no issue with that paragraph. What appears to be extremism yesterday often becomes the accepted mainline belief today. Only a third of the colonial population was solidly behind the revolution. Another third were loyalists to the crown and viewed the first third as rebels and criminals. The remaining third of the population was too involved with day to day survival to care about the other two-thirds. The History Channel has been running an advertisement highlighting the “Ride of Paul Revere”. He didn’t yell, “The British are coming!”. Paul Revere and a good many of his neighbors had regarded themselves as British and loyal subjects to the Crown. He probably yelled, “The Redcoats are Coming”.
Were the politicians in the Southern States extremists? I am not so sure about that one myself, but I would hardly call them principled patriots. I “believe” they were self-serving monied con-men who fooled a large segment of the population into following them down a path of self-destruction.

Apparently you’re having a difficult time following the logical order of my post. The link was not related to the banning of Bibles, it was to a document from DoD used to instruct new recruits.

If you think the founding fathers were extremist I think you have a warped definition of “extremist”.
I didn’t provide references to DoD banning Bibles and prayers at national cemeteries because I didn’t think it was needed since it was all over the news when it happened. -

Now there’s a reliable source. The History Channel uses reputable historians such as anti-American communist Howard Zinn and Nostradamus. Then we have “historical” educational programs such as Ice Road Truckers, Ax Men, Ancient Aliens, and Monster Quest.

We’re getting a full blown rain here east of Bellville. It looks like close to a half inch so in the gauge, which I can see from her dry recliner.
Max the Beagle doesn’t like to get rained on, so we had an abreviated walk. I told him, “We’re already soaking wet, just go ahead and go!”
He gave me the “Are you out of your freaking mind??!!” look and promptly led me back to the house.
What a wuss. -
And on top of all that, the History Channel never fails to have classic Greek and/or Roman generals and cavalry riding with stirrups, which they did not have until the Steppe nomads–probably the Huns–introduced them a few centuries later. Definitely much much longer after Alexander (gad). The likely cause was lack of actors who could ride without stirrups and stay on in battle scenes. 🙂 Though to be fair some programs about Alexander manage to get it right.

Sarge and Hamous,
We’re all the folks you mentioned considered extremists by others during that point in history?
Why heck yes!
I remember billboards showing MLK in a classroom setting with the caption loosely stating that it was a Communist Indoctrination Class.
Susan B. Anthony was active in the Abolitionist movement long before her name became associated with the Women’s Suffrage Movement. Her father’s farmhouse was a meeting place for all the movers and shakers of the Abolitionists. I suspect many in the South viewed her as an extremist.
Funny thing about History. It really is His Story! The story told is a matter of perspective and one man’s Freedom Fighter is another’s terrorist.
I remember when the Reagan Administration was parading around Joseph Savimba of UNITA (Angola) as a freedom fighter, who opposed the evil Jose Dos Santos of the MPLA. One was a Maoist getting most Ohio support from the Chinese and us. The other was a Marxist-Leninist getting support from the Russians. IMHO, both were thugs.

I think that the first stirrups were used in China around 350 AD, they came to Europe around 700-800 AD, I think,… I’ve tried to Google it but I get 15 different stories.

Glad some are getting a good rain. The 80% chance for my zip code resulted in 0.2″. Not complaining, we’ll take it! We also had a 2 hour power outage this afternoon, but as it was only 80 degrees during that time, wasn’t bad at all. It was nice enough outside that it was hard to believe it’s still August. But reminds me, we had to disengage the garage door opener, so I’d better go put it back right before it gets forgotten.

From the perspective of a United States citizen, which I assume you are, the founding fathers should NOT be considered terrorists. YMMV.

Richard Feynman was an extremely awesome dude.
Richard Feynman was one of the 20th century’s most influential physicists and one of its most colourful personalities. Recruited to the Manhattan project in his early 20s, he helped calculate the magnitude of the expected blast of the first atomic bomb. In his spare time, he cracked the safes of senior army staff at the project’s site in New Mexico, leaving notes behind to record his successes. The habit went down badly with the top brass.
He could get away with lots of fun stuff because he was brilliant. He won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1965 for his work on Quantum Electrodynamics.

Hamous,
Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and Ben Franklin are personal heroes to me, but I have never lost sight of the fact that they were MEN and not SAINTS.
I think we were lucky to have this collection of men in this land at such a crucial time. Lesser men would have made a mess of things.
But consider this: Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin’s sexual practices would have made JFK and Bill Clinton look like choir boys. George Washington was a regular consumer of laudanum (liquid opium) to sooth the pain from the two teeth and dentures in his mouth when he was President.

The Chinese might well have gotten stirrups from the same source, just from the west instead of from the east. Just guessing that the Mongols had them before the Chinese. Who knows, maybe the Mongols invented them.
Interesting to view the riders on the Parthenon frieze and see their dress, position on the horse (heels up, toes down, pelvis forward and back leaning back slightly, arms bent 90 degrees at the elbows, hands grasping the reins on either side of the horse’s neck. A wonderful book is The Art of Horsemanship by the Athenian general Xenophon, translated from the Greek by Morris H. Morgan. London, J. A. Allen & Company, Ltd., 1962, reprinted 1993. Complete with footnotes and illustrations. Xenophon’s is the first known written treatise on horsemanship, specifically dealing with the warhorse. I got it through Barnes & Noble years ago, and on Amazon one can likely find several translations or editions of it. It is remarkable in that with few exceptions his views are still current today among horsemen and women. -

Sarge and Hamous,
We’re all the folks you mentioned considered extremists by others during that point in history?
Why heck yes!Well, then. You answer begs this question:
Why did the DoD contain its references to extremists as being the Founding Fathers and Confederates? One would think that if their true meaning was to illustrate what you claim they are illustrating, they would have provided examples such as Susan B. Anthony or Frederick Douglas side by side with the Confederacy rather than the Founding Fathers, or left out the Confederacy and used Martin Luther King as examples.
Its the equation of the Founding Fathers with the Confederacy that’s the real problem here. Had the DoD used the examples of the Confederacy but inserting Martin Luther King rather than the Founding Fathers, it would have been a much fairer comparison of the extremes represented, but then we’d all know the names of the guy who wrote the piece and those who approved it because they would be all over TV news 24/7 until they had all lost their jobs and been indicted for Hate Crimes. -
Heh.
I’m still imagining what Simple would be saying had the DoD said:As noted, an ideology is a set of political beliefs about the nature of people and society. People who are committed to an ideology seek not only to persuade but to recruit others to their belief. In U.S. history, there are many examples of extremist ideologies and movements. Martin Luther King and the Freedom Riders who fought for Racial Equality and the Confederate states who sought to secede from the Northern states are just two examples.

Meanwhile as Rome burns Simple argues who is an extremist.
LOOK AROUND YOU SIMON. TELL ME WTF YOU SEE. WE GOT A PRESIDENT THAT HAS ALL BUT GOTTEN THE CONSTITUTION OUT AND BURNED IT.
Forget it you ain’t worth my time. -
So let us review:
Its OK to equate the Founding Fathers with the Confederacy, because both were Extremists.
And we all know that, even though both were considered Extremists in their time, we cannot equate Martin Luther King with Robert E. Lee.
See, simple, we’ve got “approved speech” and we’ve got “unapproved speech”.
But today, even thinking that will get you branded as an Extremist.
But advocating abortion after a fetus has been in utero for five months is “Main Stream”.

Point in fact the kindling that burned Rome was lit when Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon and destroyed what was left of the Roman Republic.

Old friend. The paragraph actually stated that depending upon viewpoint (rebel versus loyalist) the Fathers could be viewed as terrorists or heroes.
Do you know what the principal differences between the Founding Fathers and Confederates are?
1. The Founding Fathers actually had the moral high ground. The confederates did not.
2. The Founding Fathers won. The Confederates did not.

I think more of our country…
And yet you think those that founded it were terrorists.

IF it was just the president I would back wayyyyy off. But it is not. And you are not playing with Daniel James here, So your little smug replies mean nothing to me.
Since just before 911 2001 I have seen more crap happen in this country that i thought…… NAW NOT HERE, this is the good ol USA, not here. Yet here we are. I thought no way Obama gets elected the first time. Okay the American folks will wake up. surely not the second time. OOPS guess what we got him again.
i have argued with you and enumerable other people that there ain’t but a hairs breadth difference between the “R”s and “D”s. Not you or anyone else has proven me wrong.
We live in a nation that is all willing to give up freedom for security. We have a government that has killed off all the lawyers (read Shakespeare) in all levels of the government and installed there own. AND if you think for one moment that our military will not come against her own citizens you are truly asleep.
We have cities and towns and states damn near on the verge of financial collapse
We are on the brink of race wars
We are long past the moral decline that destroyed Rome
We have a government that is inept and untrustworthy at all levels
We have an electorate that is willing to elect the dregs of the political barrel and re-elect them for political expediency
We have kids joining the military that have not been taught what you and i were taught about civics, government and history of our nation
We have leadership in the military that IS TAKING RELIGION OUT

Old friend. The paragraph actually stated that depending upon viewpoint (rebel versus loyalist) the Fathers could be viewed as terrorists or heroes.It says nothing of the sort. You are reading into it what you want it to say to defend your position. Here is what it says:
As noted, an ideology is a set of political beliefs about the nature of people and society. People who are committed to an ideology seek not only to persuade but to recruit others to their belief.
Nothing in those sentences about dependence on viewpoint.

Nothing in that one either.

Still nothing.
It says, pure and simple that the Founding Fathers can be considered as Extremists on par with the Confederates because:As noted, an ideology is a set of political beliefs about the nature of people and society. People who are committed to an ideology seek not only to persuade but to recruit others to their belief.
and
In U.S. history, there are many examples of extremist ideologies and movements.
There was no language of equivocation. There we declarative statements that made an apples to apples comparison of the Founding Fathers with Confederates, and had that apples to apples comparison been made between the Civil Rights movement and the Confederacy, there would be Hell to pay.

Even the Marines require a High School Diploma these days. I think it is the same for the Doggies and Squids. I am not sure about the Zoomies.
I had several platoons when I was a D.I. at P.I. with not a single high school graduate in the mix. One…there was not a single recruit with more than a sixth grade education. It was one of the best platoons that I ever had and I would have invaded Hell with them.
We were training Marines and not legal scholars, pastors, or dental hygenists.
