Drop Zone - 26 Aug 08

August 26, 2008

Longtime readers remember when we used to have the Drop Zone here.  I missed it, so I’m bringing it back like sexy.  Read it and weep.

The "nurturing" baby-parents responsible for emasculating and pussifying our nation strike again and tell a 9-year-old pitcher he is disqualified because…get this…he’s too good, and he makes other kids feel bad.

Planned Parenthood targeting blacks?  The Washington Times says yes .  Never mind that Margaret Sanger really was trying to wipe out "black people."  I’m going to burn in hell for even saying that.  I’m such a racist.  /sarcasm

Man, this story is so crazy , I’d trade a fattening hog for it.

Still mad at the Silky Pony for not keeping his little pony in the stable?  You’re not alone .  His own supporters aren’t happy either.

The Chinese still think we’re stupid.  But our hackerz are teh best .  FOR TEH WIN!

Drop Zone: Open Trackbacks and Lots of Fun Tidbits

June 9, 2006

It’s Friday, Heidi’s getting ready to leave for Branson this weekend (I’m sticking around to man the fort for a few more day before I head up there), and I’m in a great mood due to great exam scores and a boost in my class ranking from #3 to #2. Hey - every little bit helps. At any rate, I’m having fun with this Zarqawi thing, and therefore you should too.

Scott Ott has a great article about Dems’ reaction to the news that one of the most evil men alive ate a bomb courtesy of the United States Air Force. (GO BLUE!…ahem.)

(2006-06-09) — As Blackberry devices and cell phones on Capitol Hill hummed with news of the death of terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi yesterday, Congressional Democrats vowed that despite the loss they would fight on in “the war on the war on terror.”

“Zarqawi will be missed because he put a human face on the futility of the illegal U.S. occupation of Iraq,” said one unnamed lawmaker, who assured a reporter that “Democrats are still optimistic. We’re still looking for the silver lining.”

Doesn’t satire just make you chuckle?

Ott also mentions that Gore and Zarkman had something in common: they’re both “Internet pioneers.”

Also, if you’d like some more comedy at the expense of the DailyKOS idiots, check out this quote from KOS himself in a new interview:

”I was in England recently, where they don’t allow political ads on TV. It was a fantastic experience. It was so beautiful that I cried.”

Stephen Spruiell says, “I especially like that…one, in which Kos tells us that the suppression of political speech in England literally brought tears of joy to his eyes.”

If you’ve got something you’d like us to see, leave a trackback to this post and I’ll make sure you get credit for it. have a great weekend, be safe, and remember why you’re free.

The Chocolate Mayor Is Back: A source of civic pride for New Orleanians - they re-elected Mayor Nagin to be their chocolate mayor. They say the vote was split along racial lines. Hmmm.. ya think?! Wow. How smart are they? They really know what they’re doing down there in NOLA. A bunch of genuises, they are.

Powerline via MM:

Having witnessed Marion Barry repeatedly elected mayor of Washington, D.C., I can’t say I’m surprised at Nagin’s success. Re-electing an unsuccessful or disgraced mayor apparently can become a source of civic pride, particularly when the racial politics are right.

Iranians are outraged at other Iranians for stating that Iran had passed a new dress code that would require religious minorities to wear a color-coded badge. The resident dhimmis (religious minority) are denying it as well. I don’t blame ‘em. You’d have to be hopelessly buried in denial to be a Jew or Christian still living in Iran. Unfortunately, there’s a word for those same ever-hopeful, deep in denial Jews in Nazi Germany: ashes.

On the bright side, Iran’s new dress code is full of sweetness and light for women: “the draft law, which has received preliminary approval, would discourage women from wearing Western clothing, increase taxes on imported clothes and fund an advertising campaign to encourage citizens to wear Islamic-style garments.” See? It’s all good.

More cheery news from the Land of Light: Iran is mere months - NOT years - away from achieving the technological know-how to build nuclear bombs. I said that a month ago, and certain delusional morons screeched that I was wrong (see in comments). I’m always amazed that limited brain activity organisms like that manage to turn on a computer, much less use it!

Iraqis are obsessed with Lionel Richie. Say you…say what???

I saved the best for last. The Sandbox has started a new series called “Why I Fight.” Here’s an excerpt from the first entry:

I fight because I believe the United States to be a beacon of freedom in the world, and I am willing to give my life in it’s defense. I make no distinction between those who threaten us with an imminent attack and those who seek to subvert our freedoms over time by organizing groups of terror. Terrorism will always be an enemy of what the United States stands for, whether they have their hand on the button of a nuke pointed at us or not.

Drop Zone: Friday Edition

May 5, 2006

It’s Friday! I’ve got some quick things for you before you head out for the weekend, and as always, open trackbacks are allowed, so if you’ve got something to share, let’s see it!

Let’s get started!

Bloggers as Propagandists? Hell, yes! John over at OpFor says “I propagate because I believe in America and I believe in winning this fight. If that makes me a propagandist, then it’s a title I’ll wear with pride.”

The 20th hijacker is in for “hard time,” says the AP. Of course, my idea of a fitting punishment for him is execution. I believe in a heaven and hell, and I guarantee that whatever Supermax prison is like, it can’t hold a candle to what’s waiting for him. And yes, please excuse the pun.

In yet another episode of “Atheists and Liberals Are Running the Show,” a federal excuse for a judge gave the city of San Diego 90 days to remove the cross that stands as a memorial of war. An atheist whined about it and took it to court, and so here we are, once again being told that “all religion is okay,” as long as it has nothing to with Jesus Christ.

If you’ve got something for us to see, let’s see it! Trackback to this post and we’ll make sure your links get pulled up for TTLB credit.

Have a great weekend!!

Drop Zone: Sunday Night Special

April 9, 2006

Just a few things for your supper…

A bunch of Islamic women stampeded out of a mosque and killed a number of women and children after services earlier today. I know, you’re shocked and appalled, because Muslims never, ever stampede.

Islamic religious events are often marred by stampedes, particularly during the hajj pilgrimage to the cities of Medina and Mecca in Saudi Arabia. More than 360 people died in Mina, outside Mecca, in January, while a 1990 hajj stampede killed 1,426 pilgrims.

TIME magazine has a piece regarding the immigration bill that wasn’t passed by the Senate last week, and predictably, they make sure to paint the issue over with clever phrases intended to make you forget that by their very presence here, illegal aliens are criminals.

Senators forged a bipartisan immigration-reform deal last week, only to see it fall apart, scuttling plans, for now, for worker visas and possible citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants. Here’s what happened:

What had the Senate agreed on? A supermajority of 65 Senators had come to terms on a bill that included stronger border security as well as a chance to earn citizenship for illegal immigrants who have been in the U.S. for at least two years.

I’m yawning right now. It’s the same old crap with thicker frosting. “A chance to earn citizenship?” Who are these people kidding? And since when does sneaking across the border and stealing from the citizens of this country entitle you to citizenship? I know, you’ve heard it all before. Believe me, I get sick of saying it.

Meanwhile, House Majority Leader John Boehner stood up to the President, saying flat out that “You can’t begin to talk about a guest worker bill until you secure the borders…[Otherwise] We’re going to have an endless parade of illegal immigrants here in our country.”

Rep. Tom Tancredo, on Face the Nation, said that “any bill involving an amnesty would not pass the House.”

Awesome, I say. Hold the line, men.

Some piece of trash in Maryland murdered an elderly couple and their grandchildren, ages 14 and 2. here’s hoping he gets the death penalty. Of course, with the way our justice system works, he’ll be out in 60 days.

Leave a link to a good post, and make sure to check out Heidi tomorrow as she’ll (hopefully!) be blogging live from a pro-illegal rally in Houston. Knowing Heidi, it’ll be an interesting and amusing time. (Of course, it’ll probably also be quite maddening, but let’s be positive for the moment.)

Drop Zone - The Death Penalty Edition

March 27, 2006

Here are some people who deserve some state-sanctioned bullets to the face.

“The 20th Hijacker,” Zacarias Moussaoui, testified today to a few tidbits he conveniently left out of his accounts until now, such as:

  • That he and “shoe bomber” Richard Reid were supposed to hijack a fifth airplane on Sept. 11 and fly it into the White House.
  • That he “lied to investigators when arrested in August 2001 because he wanted to let the attacks of Sept. 11 go forward.”
  • That he “declined to become a suicide pilot in some future attack when asked by a senior al-Qaida official in 1999.”
  • That he “signed his guilty plea in April as ‘the 20th hijacker,’…’Because everybody used to refer to me as the 20th hijacker and it was a bit of fun.’”
  • Moussaoui needs to be sent to visit his virgins. Don’t you agree? Let’s move on.

    This story is, to me, even more outrageous. See, I expect Islamics to want Americans dead. I don’t get surprised when they say things like “Death to the Infidels.” I expect them to bomb things, behead people, sexually abuse animals, and generally act like beasts. In fact, I get surprised when they don’t do those things. [And don't even bother with the "intolerant racist" comments, because I am NOT tolerant of those who actively participate in a totalitarian regime that seeks the obliteration of my family and me.] However, one thing you don’t expect to see (or at least, pray to God you never see) is when a mother stands by and lets someone kill their child in front of them. We heard of a mother the other day who neglected her 5-year-old until he weighed 15 pounds. Today I bring you the story of a mother in South Africa who watched as her lesbian lover beat her 4-year-old to death, and then helped her lie about it, claiming the little boy fell.

    Why was he beat to death? Because he wouldn’t call Ms. Lesbian Lover “Daddy.”

    Evidence showed he had sustained horrific injuries, including a fractured skull and brain damage, as well as broken legs, collarbone, hands and pelvis.

    Thank the Lord that child is in a better place. Those two women don’t deserve a child.

    Lastly, but not least, is this Fantastic Form Letter(tm) that Gribbit’s Word received from an Ohio Senator regarding the immigration issue. Why is he in the “Death Penalty” version of the Drop Zone? Well, he isn’t the problem. Illegal immigrants are. Considering the fact that in 2004 a full quarter of the federal prison population was illegally in this country, I think we’ve just stumbled onto the best way to clean out the prisons: start administering the death penalty to illegal immigrants in prison.

    Before you go crazy, let’s look at the facts. Illegal immigrants are here—wait for it—illegally. This means, they don’t care about our laws, our way of life, and they have no understanding or care about what it really means to be an American. So, they get here, and what do they do but break more laws by raping, murdering, robbing, and trafficking drugs?

    I guarantee you that if you start applying the death penalty to those illegals in our prisons, and then you post snipers every mile on the border, you’d pretty much stop illegal immigration. However, that’s just a pipe dream to people who think our borders should be….secure.

Drop Zone: Islam and Idiots Edition

March 22, 2006

It’s time for a quick rundown! We’ve got, as always, good stuff for you today.

On the Islam side, we’ve got this fantastic, permanent link-worthy, educational article by Daniel Pipes about CAIR, the terrorist group that somehow still gets to meet with the President. It’s long, but it’s got all the info you need to know: dates, times, places, people. Go read it, and consider yourself educated (if you’re not already). The money quote is this:

CAIR encourages law enforcement in its work—so long as it does not involve counterterrorism. Wissam Nasr, the head of CAIR’s New York office, explains: “The Muslim community in New York wants to play a positive role in protecting our nation’s security, but that role is made more difficult if the FBI is perceived as pursuing suspects much more actively than it is searching for community partners.” Nasr would have the FBI get out of the unpleasant business of “pursuing suspects” and instead devote itself to building social good will—through CAIR, naturally. [emphasis mine]

Excuse me? last I checked, the FBI’s Jay Oh Bee was pursuing suspects. Then again, what do I know? I’m just an “Islamophobe,” according to the moonbats.

Moving on to our next (related) story is another article by Daniel Pipes, this time about When “Good” Muslims Go Bad. Basically, some Muslim in North Carolina who everyone liked and respected, some guy who EVERYONE thought was a kind, gentle, quiet, “moderate” type of Muslim—you know, that elusive type we keep saying is a lot rarer than the moonbats think—decided to go on a jihad by driving his SUV into a crowd of people. (Aside: It should be noted that Mr. “Religion of Peace” failed to injure anyone severely, even though he hit 9 people.)

Thank you, Mr. Iranian immigrant-student-who-everyone-liked, for proving yet again that Islam is anything but a Religion of Peace. (By the way, don’t miss the reasons he gives for running into people. Classic Islamotard.) Pipes says, “Individual Islamists may appear law-abiding and reasonable, but they are part of a totalitarian movement, and as such, all must be considered potential killers.” Yes.

Now for the “Idiots” part of the Drop Zone. The award goes to: Sen. John McCain, who while losing a straw poll at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference for 2008 Prez picks, told conference attendees to write in George Bush’s name.

I’ll just pause so you can think about that for a second. I can see you muttering now. “Wait…straw poll…2008…write in Bush?” Yes, I know. His stunt, of course, was meant to discredit the poll and not let everyone know that the Right side of the blogosphere can’t stand McCain because he’s a lying, selfish, dishonorable schmuck who’s spending so much time giving Teddy Kennedy reacharounds he doesn’t realize he has a snowball’s chance in hell of getting voted into the Oval Office.

Facing a loss at a 2008 straw poll event this weekend, Senator John McCain of Arizona told his supporters to write in President Bush [?] as a sign of support, leaving many sputtering.

“For the next three years, with our country at war, he’s our president and the only one who needs our support,” McCain told nearly 2,000 party activists from 26 states gathered in Memphis.

McCain, realizing the national political media had descended on the Southern Republican Leadership Conference, moved to discredit the straw poll by asking delegates to vote for Bush, insiders claim.

Instead of stopping the momentum of Majority Leader Bill Frist - widely anticipated to win the straw poll - the move seemed to expose the McCain camp’s insincerity about its position with the base.

One activist said, “McCain voted against all the Bush tax cuts… maybe he should have voted for the president then, instead of waiting for a political stunt to try and distract.”

By the way…President Bush says read more blogs.

Drop Zone - Crazy, Crazy Edition

March 18, 2006

It’s that time again. Here are a few headlines that you should go enjoy/curse. I’ve got spring cleaning to do.

Also, this is an open post for the weekend. Leave your trackback (and link to us), and we’ll move your link up to the post so you get TTLB credit.

Now on to the show!

In a perfect example of “bashing every religion but mine is okay,” longtime South Park Chef Isaac Hayes suddenly resigned from the show, months after an episode aired making fun of Scientology, that crazy alien-loving piece of stale and unbelievable tripe that made Tom Cruise crazy and which Isaac Hayes just happens to ascribe to. You’ll note that since 1997, when the show first aired, it’s made fun of Christians, Muslims, Jews, Germans, and just about everything else you can possibly think of. What makes this situation nausea-worthy is the fact that limp-dicked Comedy Central pulled the Scientology episode, which was supposed to re-air, and in its place put in “Chef’s Chocolate Salty Balls” (admittedly a classic if you’re a SP fan). Matt Stone and Trey Parker, the show’s creator’s, had this to say:

“So, Scientology, you may have won THIS battle, but the million-year war for earth has just begun!” the two said in a statement sent to trade paper Variety.

“Temporarily anozinizing our episode will NOT stop us from keeping Thetans forever trapped in your pitiful man-bodies. Curses and drat! You have obstructed us for now, but your feeble bid to save humanity will fail! Hail Xenu!!!”

They signed the statement, “Trey Parker and Matt Stone, servants of the dark lord Xenu.”

Now that makes me laugh. Let’s move on.

Ever have a bad day? No, you haven’t, and you’ll realize that after reading this article, entitled “Flying Cow Leaves Two Police Cars in Flames.” Seriously.

…it started out with a truck towing cattle, and ended in fire.

Watson told News 4 WOAI, “We believe the gate of the cattle trailer came open, and the cow, for lack of a better phrase spilled out onto the Interstate. It was pretty chaotic for a while.”

Several cars hit some of the cows. One cow died. DPS troopers called for backup.

That’s when one officer was nearly run down by a speeding truck, carrying two illegal immigrants inside.

Seguin Police were out looking for those illegal immigrants. They parked their cars in the hot grass, burning two of them including that brand new 2006 Crown Victoria. Watson said, “Well, all of a sudden, another officer who’d arrived on the scene, alerted the sergeant that there was a fire.”

Everything inside was destroyed, including tens of thousands of dollars worth of equipment designed for the patrol cars.

Go read the whole thing. There’s no way I can do it justice.

There may be only two stories, but come on. That’s good caliber stuff. Got something you want us to read? Link it here!

Drop Zone: The WTF? Edition

March 8, 2006

I’ve been reading the news today and have come across quite a few “wtf?” stories. Maybe you’ve seen a few, maybe not. Either way, here’s some madness for your Hump Day.

Random Thoughts had this story about a SrA in the Air Force who was shot by police on video.

A San Bernardino County sheriff’s deputy who shot a suspect three times as a citizen videotaped the incident was charged with attempted voluntary manslaughter, authorities said today.

San Bernardino County Dist. Atty. Michael A. Ramos announced that charges have been filed against sheriff’s Deputy Ivory Webb.

Webb shot Elio Carrion, an Air Force police officer who had served in Iraq, after a high-speed chase that ended in Chino. Carrion was a passenger in the vehicle.

In the videotape, Carrion, 21, appears to be obeying Webb’s commands to get up from the ground when the deputy opens fire.

Carrion, a senior airman who had recently returned from a tour of duty in Iraq, continues to recover from his wounds.

Five points to you if you can think of the question people should be asking. Here’s a hint: Why was SrA Carrion in a police chase reaching over 100 miles per hour? Worst case scenario is he was doing something wrong. Best case is, he needs new friends. The cop was still wrong if the videotape is correct. However, consider this:

Webb, an eight-year veteran of the department who was based at the Chino Hills station, is the son of a former Compton police chief. The deputy, who was placed on paid administrative leave after the shooting, also is a former University of Iowa wide receiver who played in the 1982 Rose Bowl.

The cop’s not a rookie. He’s a former football star. He’s the son of a former police chief. Maybe he knew something we didn’t. To be honest, I’m not too concerned because the investigation will continue. However, I am pretty interested in why Carrion was involved in a police chase. But let’s move on to more madness - and believe me, there’s plenty more.

Iowahawk brings us the shocking news: Seething Midwest Explodes Over Lombardi Cartoons

Green Bay, WI - Like a pot of bratwurst left unattended at a Lambeau Field pregame party, simmering tensions in the strife-torn Midwest boiled over once again today as rioting mobs of green-and-gold clad youth and plump farm wives rampaged through Wisconsin Denny’s and IHOPs, burning Texas toast and demanding apologies and extra half-and-half.

Drop Zone - WTF Edition

January 25, 2006

Time for another Drop Zone. I could rant for days about the articles below, but I’m nursing a back injury and so this will be brief. They’re important to see, though, so let’s get started.

The French are “cracking down” on racist soup. I realize that is the most ridiculous thing you’ll hear all day, but sadly it’s true. Apparently the pork soup that charity groups serve to the homeless is racial, because as we all know, Jews and Muslims don’t eat pork. So, of course, these charity groups must be racially motivated, right? Then again, this is the French we’re talking about. I mean, the French are so freaking stupid, they think even soup can be racist. How asinine is that? Wait…that’s what we’re just…right. Moving on.

The ACLU, friend to terrorists worldwide, is suing to force the government to allow an Islamic “scholar” to enter the U.S. as a college professor. The Communists claim it’s because the U.S. government is…you guessed it…censoring and racially motivated, as well as “ideologically exclusive” or something. Gee, maybe it wasn’t the jackbooted Gestapo of the Bush administration. Maybe it was the list of known terror suspects and familial ties this guy associates with. “NO,” scream the moonbats. “LET HIM TEACH OUR CHILDREN!” God forbid that the government do what it’s supposed to and actually deny entry to someone who shares the same ideology as the scum that crashed planes into the WTC. That would be…making Americans safe. We can’t have that.

Finally, we have this ass-chapping brilliance that’s sure to leave you feeling a little sore. A Mexican government-funded commission is going to “distribute at least 70,000 maps showing highways, rescue beacons and water tanks in the Arizona desert to curb the death toll among illegal border crossers.”

The best part is, the head of the commission had the balls to say:

…migration “is a human right” and that “the United States should be grateful” the commission is doing something to curb the death toll, because “hundreds of thousands of Mexicans help maintain their economy.”

Let me know when you’re done throwing things, and please don’t hit your monitor.

Drop Zone

January 11, 2006

It’s been awhile since we’ve done an ER round-up of must-read information. I’ve been skipping through my bloglines and more than a dozen links are screaming for attention. So here’s the first edition of Drop Zone for 2006.

Andi has quite a few posts that deserve attention. First of all, she’s got an article that has numerous links about the thousands of orphans in Afghanistan who will never - EVER - belong to a family. The compassionate cult of Islam does not allow adoptions, so these children are forced to spend their childhoods inside the overcrowded and understaffed orphanages of Kabul. Most of the children never receive a visitor nor leave the walls of the orphanage - ever. You need to read her post for some terrible statistics and more links - there’s info on how to help, too. Here are my favorite two: Mission Afghanistan and Soldiers for Children.

Murtha, the *spit* former Marine, has allied himself with the vile Code Pink. Yes, Code Frickin’ Pink - the same shitpiles that demonstrate outside of Walter Reed piously carrying signs calling our wounded soldiers “killers”. Andi’s got Murtha’s contact information, all nice and neat, in case you feel the need to let Murtha know what you think of him and his buddies.

Speaking of Pink, check out Code Red *Women For The Troops, whose motto is “Real women don’t wear Code Pink.” Heh heh. Clever.

Need a little more to help shake those winter doldrums? This will get your blood raging. Andi says, “The collective anti-war movement often screams and yells about others who dare “question” their patriotism. There’s really no need, they often take the question right off the table for us.”

Alright, moving along [thanks, Andi for all that great info!]…

The boys at the O Club report that Sam Alito has an Army record. I honestly did not know that! AND, if you’re intrigued with weaponry technology, as we redheads always are, then check out their post debunking the MSNBC report on the “American Death Star“. [Sheesh - so would that make "W" Darth Bush?]

Speaking of technology, those O Club hunks need to brush up on Haloscan… [hint, hint boys]

Michelle has got a great round-up of the Alito nomination hearings. It will alternately crack you up and piss you off. Fortunately, I think Kennedy has made the biggest ass of himself EVER - and his past antics are hard to top, so he’s a veritable train wreck of Senatorial dignity. Biden’s no peach, either.

On the down side, Senator Graham had to apologize to Alito and his family for the shameful smear campaign that they had to sit through for the past few days. Mrs. Alito broke into tears as Graham apologized. Political Teen has the video. G-d damn, but I’d like to punch a few pulpy, distended Congressional noses. I can’t imagine what it was like for Mrs. Alito to sit by while her husband’s life and career were dragged through all kinds of trumped up lies and allegations! Those old, squatty, balding, doughy, farty old men made a grown woman cry for the hurt they’d caused her family. They have no shame!

Michael Yon has insider information on the family of Robert Stethem, the young American sailor who was savagely tortured and killed by terrorists in 1985. One of his murderers was slyly released from prison by the German government instead of remanded to U.S. authorities. Yon relates the 20 year struggle of Stethem’s family for justice.

Russell Tice, the NSA in-house traitor, has been so busy patting himself on his big fat back for being a courageous “whistleblower” that he completely forgot to cover his big fat ass. Whoops. Froggy cries BULLSHIT!

Generation Why says “Welcome to the Big Easy 2006.” Fer pete’s sake. More NOLA crapola. Hey - that rhymed.

We can never get enough about Saddam’s ties to terrorists. It’s nothing we didn’t already know and post on, being the prudent redheads we obviously are, but we do get the occasional moonbat lurkers that need the proverbial 2X4 upside their empty heads. Hey - we’re all about community service here at ER!!

Speaking of loony terrorists, Chad’s got news on the dude who tried to assassinate Bush. BKP has more.

Ace has got news of a verrrrrry interesting Afghani poll. The dhimmis would do well to sit up and take notice - their ship has long since sailed! Bye. Buh-bye.

My sister sent me this link about the Mexican government DEMANDING more immigration concessions from us. Yes, they DEMAND. I was working up a red rage when I found this post by Rottweiler, who beat me to the punch. As ever, he says it most profoundly. Now I ask you, what cuss word could I add to that pile that would make it more profound?

And here’s a bonus: the bald chick at Freedom Folks fiercely fisks the same article Rottie ripped up.

Alright…I’m off to watch Lost. Two new episodes tonight. Enjoy reading those links, y’all - they’re worth it!
