The Right Way, the Wrong Way and the Army Way

I see where LTC Terry Lakin (I don't care what the Army says, he earned the rank and has done nothing to deserve losing it) is home from his stint at Leavenworth.  As a combat vet and former non-commissioned officer I am personally and professionally outraged at his sacrifice on the alter of political expediency.  Or more correctly, political chicanery.  From all available information his "trial" at court martial was a mockery.  The trial judge (I wonder what colour HER skin is) hamstrung his defense, ignoring the requirement that orders be lawful to be legitimate.   The question was not even allowed to be raised.

There can be no doubt that the present occupant of the White House National Park is an illegitimate poser.  Article II Paragraph 1 of the Constitution plainly states that the holder of the office of Commander in Chief be a natural born citizen of the United States.  Barack Hussein Obama is not so qualified, regardless of the existence of, or validity of, birth certificates, long or short.  No import exists for the location of his birth, the fact remains that his father was not a citizen of this country but rather of Kenya (note to the adolescent hacker who built his "birth certificate" Africa is not a nation) hence Barry baby is not "a natural born citizen" of the US whether born in Mombasa, Honolulu or even Chicago, the ghetto of gutter politics and ward heeling from which he emanated .  Even the Botoxed Bolshevik Bimbo from the Cereal State knew enough to certify him as "the official candidate of the Democratic Party" rather than as a qualified candidate as she did John McCain.  (That says a lot for Nancy the Nut Job if she would consider HIM qualified either.  But I digress.)  The only question remaining is how long this charade can continue.  The harm to the republic already is dangerously close to irreparable.

So the Army court, suckling on the public teat, refuses to address the issue, the civilian courts, suckling on the public teat, refuse to allow private citizens the "standing" to address the issue and the lamestream media, suckling on the Obama penis denigrate the efforts of anyone attempting to address the issue (and concomitantly shed light on their fellatio) with derision, distortion and disinformation.  "Public be dissed" and "all the propaganda we feel to print".


Only in the US Army could Mrs Calley's little boy Billy wind up in Leavenworth for following an unlawful order, and LTC Lakin attend the same alma mater for NOT doing so.

Reflections on Public Education and Other Forms of Incarceration

Couple of years back the first and third prize winners of the National Spelling Bee were home schooled.  One has to wonder if public education is living up to its potential or merely spending up to its budget.

It is important to note that the primary purpose of an educational system is to prepare children to be productive citizens by equipping them with the skills necessary to hold a job.  Stand in a checkout line at your local super market and you can see exactly how efficient public education is at accomplishing that mission.

There are scanners to input the prices (complete with an annoying beep reminiscent of a Mickey D's fry-o-lator on Quaaludes), a loudspeaker  to announce these prices, (with no requirement that the drone behind the cash register even verify its rectitude and precluding the necessity that he or she knows how to read) and a connection to the cash register that allows the self same loudspeaker to announce to all and sundry exactly how much you are in the habit of spending on your weekly Wheaties or non-essential Chinese junk.   (The detritus kind, not the floating kind.)  Then the self same brainless voice announces to the equivalently brainless clone exactly how much change to tender you, leaving this victim of public education quivering in confusion as to how many dollars, dimes and pennies make up, "Change due, three dollars seventy-three cents."

(If you really want to set the cat amongst the pigeons offer the odd quarter and pennies and say, "Just give me the even five."  Any shopper who can't clear at least a thousand dollars a year in un-reported income with this trick just isn't living up to his potential.)

While never having learned to add, subtract, multiply or divide without electronic assistance, and barely having a clue which button to do when, you may rest assured that thirteen years of exposure to the public school system will have our hapless adolescent firm in the "knowledge" that:
          a) Heather's two mommies are indicative of a normal alternative life style
          b) The warming pattern of the globe can only be changed if he buys an electric hybrid from Government Motors
          c) The rapacious appetite for energy of profit driven industry is responsible for all the ills of the world, to include the common cold and ragweed (but not of course the energy overhead of his own 42" plasma TV and attached DVD, TiVo and Gameboy)

Next stop will be an "institute of higher learning" where his lack of mathematical expertise will serve him in good stead as the prospect of assuming student loan debt equivalent to a mortgage on seven bedrooms, 3-1/2 baths, complete with debit card, strikes him as  sound fiduciary policy.   Baying socialist jackasses will inculcate him with propaganda proclaiming  that the only cure for government instigated disaster is more of the same and our now thoroughly brainwashed clone will buy into it to the tune of ignoring the Constitution as the congresscritters do.  For the same reason; they've never read it, neither has he.

Meanwhile, guess to whom, or what, our "educated" fool is indebted.  Why the same government that's been hosing him all his life!  First the involuntary servitude of the brainwashing "educational experience", then the involuntary servitude of inescapable debt to the federal government (by Obobocare law, the sole source of student loans) that with a little luck will be paid off just in time for him to co-sign for his own kids' slavery.
