Sharing something I did today

By Chrissy the Hyphenated

Office of George W. Bush
P.O. Box 259000
Dallas, TX 75225-9000

Dear Sir,                                                                                  May 22, 2011

I am enjoying reading your wonderful book.

Today, I read “The region is more hopeful” on p. 267 and felt I needed to send you the enclosed “Hope and Pride in Iraq: August 8, 2007” written by our daughter, while she was serving in The Surge in Iraq.

… [personal info] …

Oddly enough, my husband and I were born and raised in very liberal areas of deep blue states and come from totally civilian families. We’re not sure quite what we did right to have been blessed with our brood of heroes, but we Thank God for whatever it was, as we also Thank God for having had your leadership in the years post-9/11.

We miss that, but are delighted that you and yours are enjoying a well-earned and peaceful retirement out of the limelight and away from the Left’s ire. Please give our best to the lovely Laura and tell her we very much miss her too.

Sincerely in the love of Jesus Our Lord,

… [Chrissy the Hyphenated and SalTEADog]…

Hope and Pride in Iraq: August 8, 2007

By an American Soldier who had been living in Iraq for twelve months

I think it is hard to understand the people here unless you live among them as I have done. Many times, I have been frustrated at how they never seem to stand up for themselves and try to make things better. But with all that has happened in this country, things like hope and pride have been notably absent.

In areas that do not have a steady-state presence of Coalition Forces, daily life is mostly about keeping loved ones safe. But where Coalition Forces are in control, the locals can think beyond mere survival. Because they turn to us for security and medical help, there is no doubt in my mind that they are happy we are here.

For more than 25 years, Iraqis have had little or no say in local government and their young people know nothing about law enforcement, except that it is wise to avoid whichever people with guns are control at the moment.

But the people here are tired of the insurgency and tired of not being allowed to govern themselves and yesterday I saw seedlings of change. Yesterday, I saw Iraqis who were feeling both pride in their own country and hope that they can fix the things that are wrong and turn their homeland into a great nation.

Yesterday, I sat in on a meeting with the leaders of a newly formed, local security force.  Dressed in their finest clothes, armed with notebooks and pens, representatives from each tribe talked with great excitement, because for the first time in a quarter of a century, they were being given a chance to govern their own villages. The list of volunteers willing to provide twenty-four-hour protection on the roads and in the villages contained more than 2,000 names!

Then last night, I watched the locals bubbling over with excitement and pride when their national soccer team won the prestigious Asia Cup tournament. And there it all was: what we have been waiting for since the fall of Saddam. Iraqis with pride in their country, hope for the future, and the willingness to stand up and fight for change.

I know the fanatics who choose to kill innocent bystanders with their suicide bombs will not disappear over night. But the change has started. And watching this exciting change in these people among whom I have lived and worked for the past twelve months, I think I finally understand what our founding fathers must have felt.

These three graphics are about stories the big media has messed up badly. I did them in part because I have a commitment to the truth, but also because they demonstrate that the MSM griping about some alleged need for government to control misinformation on the internet is a question of the pot calling the kettle black.

The following is based on

Herman Cain serves up Red-Meat-Lover’s Special, hold the identity politics By Jim Treacher | May 16, 2011

http://dailycaller.com/2011/05/06/herman-cain-serves-up-red-meat-lovers-special-hold-the-identity-politics/

and the article Treacher links to:

Black History Month is Herman Cain Playing the Race Minstrel for CPAC By Chauncey DeVega – February 12, 2011

http://blogs.alternet.org/speakeasy/2011/02/12/black-history-month-is-herman-cain-playing-the-race-minstrel-for-cpac/

You can just go read them for yourselves, though I would suggest you don HazMat before getting near the DeVega article. Brrr.

Treacher says:

The more I listen to Herman Cain, the more I like him. Which I guess only counts if you think likability is a factor in electing a president. And, being of a mischievous mind, I can just imagine how he’d confound the race-obsessed left as an opponent. “Holy crap, what do we do? This guy is so black, he makes Obama look like Edgar Winter’s bloodless corpse half-buried in a snowbank. Begin Operation: Clarence Thomas!”

Chrissy’s Site Bites: http://news.webshots.com/photo/2652055660056011884cYkyMP

I love this bit by Treacher:

[The race-obsessed left] can’t fathom that people could actually be drawn to Cain by who he is and what he says, not which box he checks under “Race.” It might actually be about… oh, what was that thing called? Oh yeah: the content of his character.

Treacher then links to the puke-making “Black History Month is Herman Cain Playing the Race Minstrel for CPAC” which he cites as “an example of the sort of thing we can expect” will be thrown at Cain in coming months.

The author is described as the “editor and founder of the blog We Are Respectable Negroes.” Given the way he talks, I have to rather resent his usurpation of the term “respectable”, especially since I’m related to a black man who really is.

Among other things, Mr. I’m A Racist Black Man refers to black conservatives as “black garbage pail kids … because of how they entertain and perform for their White Conservative masters.” He also goes on equating Cain speaking at CPAC with “a carnival and a roadshow for reactionary Conservatives.” He really lays it on thick … “freak show, the human zoo, the boardwalk, and the great midway world’s fairs of the 19th and 20th centuries [where] Herman Cain and his black and brown kin are that featured attraction.”

Anyone know the best way to get that puke in the back of your mouth taste to go away?

Then he gets really ugly and drags in Catholics to boot. (He also, by the way, gets the theology wrong, the ignorant schmuck.)

Herman Cain’s shtick is a version of race minstrelsy where he performs “authentic negritude” as wish fulfillment for White Conservative fantasies. Like the fountain at Lourdes, Cain in his designated role as black Conservative mascot, absolves the White racial reactionaries at CPAC of their sins. This is a refined performance that Black Conservatives have perfected over many decades and centuries of practice.

I wonder if, in his summary paragraph, we don’t get to that nugget of Coulter Truth — i.e., that we can see what Leftists are thinking and doing by listening to what they accuse us of.  (Sorry for using a preposition to end a sentence with.)

We always need a monkey in the window, for he/she reminds us of our humanity while simultaneously reinforcing a sense of our own superiority. Sadly, there are always folks who are willing to play that role because it pays so well.

Is that what makes you A Respectable Negro, Mr. Pseudonymous Vega?  That you are a tolerant and open-minded liberal Democrat? Just like the piece of toe jam that published this?

Chrissy’s Site Bites: http://news.webshots.com/photo/2546064640056011884KQMjoq

I’ve been giving this thing a lot of thought and it seems to me that when Leftists say they are open-minded and tolerant, what they really mean is that they are civil toward everybody who thinks exactly the way they do … and they hate everybody else.

This basically boils down to them being just like every other human being who has ever trod the planet.  My tribe vs your tribe. Nyah nyah, I won’t pick you for my team. Who was it who said … so what if you love the people who love you? Even gentiles do that!

It’s not my imagination that the Left actually revels in their hate, is it? I mean … they BRAG about having shouted down or spit on or thrown tomatoes at conservative speakers and they publish and broadcast the most racist and misogynistic trash in the same venues where they flay conservatives for IMPLIED sins against Political Correctness and Civility. It’s like they’re really PROUD of being foul-mouthed and narrow-minded.

IMHO, this is one of the key issues that makes real Christians DIFFERENT. Jesus told us to love our enemies and do good to those who persecute us. I try. I struggle against the angry feelings and dark thoughts I have about the Left, especially when it touches on Obama’s misuse of the military. Nothing makes my Mama Grizzly rise up with blood in her eye more than something that threatens my kids and I pray often to have the grace to hate the sin and love the sinner.

I guess being hated is part of the deal, though, right? Jesus told us it was. ::sigh::

Anyway, when I was googling for graphics material, I found this site. Great lot of book titles here!

http://www.nbra.info/index.cfm?fuseaction=pages.bookreviews

These two caught my eye in particular:

Blacks, Whites & Racist Democrats: The Untold History of Race and Politics within the Democratic Party from 1792-2009

Why are most blacks in America Democrats? You will have to answer that question yourself. After reading this book, you will understand that:

  • for over 150 years, blacks were victims of terrorist attacks by the Democrats and their Klan supporters, including lynching, beating, rapes and mutilations
  • On the issue of slavery, the Democrats literally gave their lives to expand it; the Republicans gave their lives to ban it.
  • Many believed the Democrats had a change of heart and fell in love with blacks. To the contrary, history reveals the democrats didn’t fall in love with black folks, they fell in love with the black vote knowing this would be their ticket into the white house.

Unveiling the Whole Truth: What the media failed to tell American voters

In this new and exciting fact-finding book, Perrryman re-examines the coverage of major news stories and through a series of editorials he reveals important information the media should have included – but chose to exclude.

After completing his research, Perryman is convinced that the mainstream media is not very fond of Blacks, Christians and those who called themselves “Conservative.” he proves his point by Unveiling the Whole Truth. Based on the research contained in this book, he believes the media’s headlines should have read:

  • Democrats convinced Bush & others that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.
  • The Katrina disaster: it started before Bush took office.
  • Bringing the troops home: a fatal mistake according to history.
  • The war over oil? More important than a war over weapons of mass destruction.
  • The so-called separation of Church & State: Never happened.
  • The race card: The liberals played it to launch the abortion movement in America.
  • Bush: a true friend of blacks and the poor.

More Leftist hypocrisy

I wonder how many Leftist protesters would agree to THIS:

So I’m back from SERE school…

http://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=549642

I spent Thursday through Thursday in the field, during which time they gave us half an apple. Total. I personally killed a lizard (fast little buggers), cut its head and legs off, and ate it. Tasted like shrimp tails. I lost 17 lbs over the course of the adventure.

Then there was the sleep. We had no blankets/sleeping bags/etc. so we were sleeping in the open in ~20-30 weather, when it was a soaring 95-105 during the day. Meaning very little sleep took place.

And that’s the first few days when we were allowed to sleep. After that we were running from the “bad guys” so we didn’t sleep much because it was easiest to move from point to point at night.

I made it to the siren when everyone has to come out, so I wasn’t caught by the bad guys at all. At one point I was hiding in tall grass and a bad guy stepped over me – saw the bottoms of his feet. Pretty slick, I’d say.

The POW camp part is all classified, and I don’t know how I could ever put it into words. The most dehumanizing, mentally and physically difficult experience of my life, especially after 5 days of no sleep and no food. Except my buddy the lizard.

One thing I can say… my home was a 2.5’x3’x4′ box. You don’t know back pain till you live in one of those, I tell you what.

Altogether I’m extremely glad I went. It was VERY rewarding, and I’m very proud of myself for pulling it off, with honors.

Luke 14: Jesus at a Pharisee’s House

1 One Sabbath, when Jesus went to eat in the house of a prominent Pharisee, … 7 he noticed how the guests picked the places of honor at the table, he told them this parable: 8 “When someone invites you to a wedding feast, do not take the place of honor, for a person more distinguished than you may have been invited. 9 If so, the host who invited both of you will come and say to you, ‘Give this person your seat.’ Then, humiliated, you will have to take the least important place. 10 But when you are invited, take the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he will say to you, ‘Friend, move up to a better place.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all the other guests. 11 For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”

Let me do the math here. They killed more than 3,000 unarmed civilians and Barack Obama’s pastor of 20 years, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright announced from the pulpit that Amerikkka is evil and had had it coming. So, ten years later, President Obama sends off a hit squad to kill the 1 guy who ordered the attack, which they do at great personal risk inside his heavily fortified compound. Two weeks later, they retaliate by killing 80 Pakistanis and promising more deaths to come. Pop Quiz: Did the Pakis have it coming or are these people just really evil? Be careful how you answer. You might end up admitting that Bushitler and his sidekick Darth Cheney were right all along.
