Are there any grown-ups left in Seattle?
Anti-war students shut down school board meeting. Adults cower. The cycle begins.
Battle over the Blue Angels update
The moonbats continue to bash the Blue Angels in San Francisco. Here’s video of one of the leaders trying to kick the Blue Angels out of the city for Fleet Week. The Examiner’s letters page shows that there are a few sane people left there. A sampling: I find it interesting and somewhat amusing that [...]
Attack on the Blue Angels
Anti-military loons in the Bay Area are working together to drive the Blue Angels out of San Francisco for Fleet Week: The annual aerial show by the U.S. Navy’s Blue Angels — a San Francisco tradition dating back to 1981 that pumps millions into the local economy — is running into opposition from three local [...]
Anti-war educators exploit The Children in the name of peace
Ready to gag? Check out this nursery school video from NYC, in which three-year-old toddlers are used as props for an anti-war protest at a local politician’s office. The video is at NYPress politics blog: That green construction-paper thingie that looks like it’s about to devour the two little boys is a “Tree of Peace.” [...]
A US soldier burned in effigy
In Portland, Oregon. Yes, question their patriotism. Speaking of which, the “patriotism” of the moonbats and the Gathering of Eagles were topics briefly discussed tonight on our O’Reilly Factor segment tonight. Fox aired a bit of our Hot Air video report. If you’re just checking in for the first time tonight and haven’t seen it, [...]

“Diversity” on campus doesn’t include military
Columbia University junior and Marine corporal Matt Sanchez has a must-read in today’s NYPost: DiD you hear the one about the Marines that Columbia University invited to campus for Fleet Week? Not any time in the last few decades, you didn’t. But you might have heard the one about the Marine who was told by [...]
Another outbreak of Democrat anti-troop hatred
I wrote last week that we’d see more outbreaks of anti-military vandalism leading up to Election Day. In upstate New York on Halloween eve, “(expletive) Bush” and a depiction of a penis were scrawled on the 20-by-40-foot flag and similar pictures in the same shade of green were painted on the American Legion Mohawk Post. [...]
They don’t support our troops
***scroll for updates*** Dan Riehl notes that libs are rallying behind Kerry because he was just speaking “the truth.” Via the SFChronicle website: (Note: Images removed 06/07/2007 to facilitate web site re-design. As of June 2007, the SF Chronicle link still works.) Chickenhawk invocation? Check. Absolute moral authority card? Check. Unapologetic elitism? Check. Check. Check. [...]
ARMY BANNED IN BOSTON
***update: the school backs down! Michael Graham reports: “As I’m about to report exclusively on my show in 20 minutes, King Philip High has backed down under pressure from angry supporters of the US military. They’re going to allow representatives of West Point and the ROTC at graduation on Sunday (not tonight’s awards event, alas) [...]
VETERANS DAY IS EXPENDABLE
In the Stamford, Conn., school district. Why? Mostly, it seems, because school officials and parents didn’t want the inconvenience of an extra school day in June. I’m not so crazy about all the days kids get off from school anyway, but the veterans have a good point in response to school officials who disingenuously argue [...]
MORE RECRUITERS UNDER ATTACK
First, the UC Santa Cruz thugs drive recruiters off their campus. Then, anti-war nuts target ROTC facilities in North Carolina. Now this via the Minneapolis Star Tribune (hat tip: reader David): S-T caption: Three people were apprehended this afternoon by police after pouring paint on an Army recruiting station near the University of Minnesota during [...]
UC Santa Cruz hates our troops
Here’s how they show support for the military at UC Santa Cruz (hat tip: Brian Maloney and reader Allen) – via the Santa Cruz News Sentinel: Military recruiters packed up their displays and left a UC Santa Cruz job fair Tuesday after several protesters attempted to force themselves inside the fair while others blocked the [...]
The Joint Chiefs of Staff speak
***scroll down for update*** In civilized societies, if you are offended by a cartoon, you do not burn flags, take up guns and raid buildings, chant death to your opponents, or threaten suicide bombings. You write a letter to the editor. Here’s a Tom Toles cartoon that our military leaders did not appreciate: Here’s a [...]
The most loathesome people in America
***update: Hugh Hewitt interviewed Joel Stein today and posts his thoughts…transcript and audio at Radioblogger…*** Some website has named me the 49th most loathsome person in America. (I’m just ahead of Geraldo. Others on the list: 30) Hillary Clinton; 29) Terri Schiavo; 19) James Sensenbrenner; 13) God; 4) You.) You want loathsome? I nominate LA [...]
THEY DON’T SUPPORT OUR TROOPS
***updated here.*** Lots of blog buzz over MoveOn.org’s latest, noxious anti-war propaganda. First, check out the video here (in Quicktime). Notice this? Best of the Web reported yesterday on a sharp-eyed Army captain’s reaction to that scene in MoveOn’s fund-raising ploy: I just got back from my third deployment from Iraq on Friday, and I [...]
Ted Rall’s idea of patriotism
From the unhinged cartoonist/columnist who sneers at our volunteer troops as murderers for Halliburton and derided Army Ranger Pat Tillman as an “idiot” and a “sap,” comes this new slander of the troops: Conservative Dialysis takes aim at Rall’s odious moral equivalence. But we mustn’t question the Left’s patriotism, right?
BLOODY, ANTI-WAR LIBERALS
From the “We support the troops by smearing blood all over their offices” file: The infamous “St Patrick’s Four” anti-war zealots who “poured their blood” all over a military recruiting center in Ithaca, N.Y.–on the walls, windows, doors, and smeared on an America flag–are back in court today for a re-trial: Four anti-war protesters who [...]
IDIOTARIANS SHUN USS IOWA
I know, I know, we’re not supposed to question any leftist’s patriotism. So how then should we make sense of this? The USS Iowa joined in battles from World War II to Korea to the Persian Gulf. It carried President Franklin Roosevelt home from the Teheran conference of allied leaders, and four decades later, suffered [...]
