The Brokeback Post
03.29.2006Okay… I’m sick of hearing about how “fabulous” brokeback mountain was. I didn’t want to even recognize it as post worthy.
Why is this movie getting awards? Obviously because the acting was superb, the effects and cinematography were outstanding… no wait. That can’t be right.
First off, I haven’t seen the movie. And I never will. That said, lets pretend that this movie wasn’t freakin gay. Some cowboy guy… falls in love with some other cowboys wife. They both abandon their current families and responsibilities, and run off together. Would that be a good movie? No.
That would be horrible. They just abondoned everyone who cares about them, for their own selfish lust or whatever you want to call it. Thats a party foul. If I had a friend who did that to his family… I’d bust his jaw.
“Okay Chad, I get what yer saying… it wasn’t actually a good movie… then why is it winning all these marvelous awards? Answer me that, smarty pants.”
I thought you’d never ask. And the answer:
Because it’s gay.
So this is what we’ve come to, And it brings my mind to that first chapter of Romans.
21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened…
24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen….
26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion…
28 Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
A War Hero
03.28.2006American Soldier has returned to his blog, after he chewed up and spat out a dirty roadside bomb. Go over and drop him a line. This guy is a regular badass. No doubt about it.
Abdul Rahman
03.28.2006KABUL, Afghanistan - An Afghan man who had faced the death penalty for abandoning Islam for Christianity was freed from prison and went into hiding Tuesday in Kabul after Muslim clerics threatened his life. Italy said it may grant him asylum. (link)
I think we should all get together, and try to understand the muslim government. Why would they want to kill Abdul?
I mean… we all know that they aren’t fascists at all. Cos the Media tells me that US Soldiers are the fascists. And the media never lies.
Ah, who am I kiddin. We all know that most liberals could care less if this guys “basic human rights” were violated. All they want to do is point out everything wrong with our side. Because the rest of the world is freakin perfect… and big bad America is the evil, oil-loving (who isnt’?), monster. And we don’t care who dies, as long as we get enough oil to run my 7.3 liter diesel rig.
Funny how you never hear them crying about Germany, France and Russia with the oil for food scandel. The only signs you see at these moronic protests, are no blood for oil, bush = hitler, America is fascist, and other inane dribble.
When will the common sense class get a break? I’m tired of this leftist nay-say, and pessimism. When will they ever look at the bright side of the thousands of dead terrorists, and the birth of democracy in that blasted desert-wasteland of a country?
Murphy’s Laws Of Combat Operations
03.18.2006I found this floating around the net. And it is so true.
Friendly fire - isn’t.
Recoilless rifles - aren’t.
Suppressive fires - won’t.
You are not Superman; Marines and fighter pilots take note.
A sucking chest wound is Nature’s way of telling you to slow down.
If it’s stupid but it works, it isn’t stupid.
Try to look unimportant; the enemy may be low on ammo and not want to waste a bullet on you.
If at first you don’t succeed, call in an airstrike.
If you are forward of your position, your artillery will fall short.
Never share a foxhole with anyone braver than yourself.
Never go to bed with anyone crazier than yourself.
Never forget that your weapon was made by the lowest bidder.
If your attack is going really well, it’s an ambush.
The enemy diversion you’re ignoring is their main attack.
The enemy invariably attacks on two occasions: when they’re ready. & when you’re not.
There is no such thing as a perfect plan.
Five second fuzes always burn three seconds.
There is no such thing as an atheist in a foxhole.
A retreating enemy is probably just falling back and regrouping.
The important things are always simple; the simple are always hard.
The easy way is always mined.
Teamwork is essential; it gives the enemy other people to shoot at.
Don’t look conspicuous; it draws fire. For this reason, it is not at all uncommon for aircraft carriers to be known as bomb magnets.
Never draw fire; it irritates everyone around you.
If you are short of everything but the enemy, you are in the combat zone.
When you have secured the area, make sure the enemy knows it too.
Incoming fire has the right of way.
No combat ready unit has ever passed inspection. No inspection ready unit has ever passed combat.
If the enemy is within range, so are you.
The only thing more accurate than incoming enemy fire is incoming friendly fire.
Things which must be shipped together as a set, aren’t.
Things that must work together, can’t be carried to the field that way.
Radios will fail as soon as you need fire support.
Radar tends to fail at night and in bad weather, and especially during both.
Anything you do can get you killed, including nothing.
Make it too tough for the enemy to get in, and you won’t be able to get out.
Tracers work both ways.
If you take more than your fair share of objectives, you will get more than your fair share of objectives to take.
When both sides are convinced they’re about to lose, they’re both right.
Professional soldiers are predictable; the world is full of dangerous amateurs.
Military Intelligence is a contradiction.
Fortify your front; you’ll get your rear shot up.
Weather ain’t neutral.
If you can’t remember, the Claymore is pointed towards you.
Air defense motto: shoot ‘em down; sort ‘em out on the ground.’Flies high, it dies; low and slow, it’ll go.
The Cavalry doesn’t always come to the rescue.
Napalm is an area support weapon.
Mines are equal opportunity weapons.
B-52s are the ultimate close support weapon.
Sniper’s motto: reach out and touch someone.
The one item you need is always in short supply.
Interchangeable parts aren’t.
It’s not the one with your name on it; it’s the one addressed “to whom it may concern” you’ve got to think about.
When in doubt, empty your magazine.
The side with the simplest uniforms wins.
Combat will occur on the ground between two adjoining maps.
If you can keep your head while those around you are losing theirs, you may have misjudged the situation.
If two things are required to make something work, they will never be shipped together.
Whenever you lose contact with the enemy, look behind you.
The most dangerous thing in the combat zone is an officer with a map.
The quartermaster has only two sizes, too large and too small.
If you really need an officer in a hurry, take a nap.
There is nothing more satisfying than having someone take a shot at you, and miss.
If your sergeant can see you, so can the enemy.
You’ll only remember your hand grenades when the sound is too close to use them.
Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.
The ping you heard was the antenna snapping off at 6 inches above the flexmount, while a fire mission was being called in on a battalion of hostiles who know your position.
Why is it the CO sticks his head in your radio hooch to see if anything has come down from DIV when you are listening to the VOA broadcasting the baseball games?
How come you are on one frequency when everyone else is on another?
Why does your 500-watt VRC-26 (real old) not make it across 200 miles while a ham with 50 watts on the same MARS frequency can be heard from Stateside?
Know why short RTOs have long whips on their radios? So someone can find them when they step in deep water.
The enemy “Alway’s” times his attack, to the second you drop your pant’s in the Latrine!!
The ammo you need “NOW”!! is on the “Next” airdrop!!
The Peoples Cube
03.14.2006If you guys haven’t been to The Peoples Cube before… You really need to.
Good clean mockery of liberals and commies.
He’d Rather Not Answer
03.14.2006Opinion Journal pointed out this interesting article about the liberal media. Silly liberals… they’re too easy except for one thing. It’s like arguing with a child. You can never win with logic.
Here’s the scene: Former CBS anchorman Dan Rather is in Cherry Hill, giving a speech about the need for journalists to do better.
“What’s gone out of fashion is the tough question and the follow-up,” he tells an admiring audience of about 600 people at Cherry Hill’s Star Forum.
So how can I, the guy covering Rather’s remarks, just sit there?
When he finishes, I hurry to a floor mike to ask Rather about an issue that will be part of my story.
“Mr. Rather,” I say. “Great suggestions. But you left the anchor desk last year after your report questioning President Bush’s military service was discredited. Key memos could not be authenticated. Do you think the failure to ask questions then affects your credibility now?”
Rather responds with civility — if not clarity. He notes, in part, that an independent review “couldn’t determine whether the documents were authentic or not.”
Eager to please, I follow up: “The Courier-Post won’t run something if we’re not sure it’s authentic. Are you saying it’s OK . . .”
But my microphone goes dead — and the audience stirs to life.
Some people jeer. Others glare and scowl (I can now distinguish between the two). This continues outside as I call in my story.
9 Things I Hate About Everyone
03.14.2006My friend Angela sent me this. I laughed out loud on a couple. A few of em are stupid. Anyways, they’re fun.
1. People who point at their wrist while asking for the time…. I know where my watch is pal, where the hell is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?
2. People who are willing to get off their ass to search the entire room for the T.V. remote because they refuse to walk to the T.V. and change the channel manually.
3. When people say “Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too”. Damn right! What good is cake if you can’t eat it?
4. When people say “it’s always the last place you look”. Of course it is. Why the hell would you keep looking after you’ve found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they? Gonna Kick their asses!
5. When people say while watching a film “did you see that?”. No Loser, I paid $12 to come to the cinema and stare at the damn floor.
6. People who ask “Can I ask you a question?”…. Didn’t really give me a choice there, did ya sunshine?
7. When something is ‘new and improved!’. Which is it? If it’s new, then there has never been anything before it. If it’s an improvement, then there must have been something before it, couldn’t be new.
8. When people say “life is short”. What the hell?? Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that’s longer?
9. When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks “Has the bus come yet?”. If the bus came would I be standing here, dumbass?

American Soldier: Injured
03.10.2006AS was just injured by an IED. This time it’s a bit more serious then the last. His wife told me
He is pretty much fine. He is able to walk away from this, thankfully, with loss of hearing in one ear, a concussion, and some minor shrapnal wounds. The other guys were fine. He is back to his unit, but in the wire.
So, thank God for him being able to walk away from it.
Walk The Line Censored
03.08.2006As a huge John Cash fan, I knew that he was a Christian. And as much as I’d have liked to see his Christianity show up in the movie, I pretty much knew that it woulden’t.
I watched “the making of” and found out that the movie had been in production for the last ten years. And that Johnny Cash had been in on it in the beginning. But when he died in 2003, I guess thats when they figgered they woulden’t have to show his faith in this movie.
Just got this, courtesy of Newsmax.
Johnny Cash’s Faith Censored
“Walk the Line,” the Johnny Cash biopic that landed Reese Witherspoon a Best Actress trophy, curiously left out a gigantic aspect of the legendary singer’s life, that being Cash’s Christian faith.Cash himself actually claimed that it was his faith that saved his life. He even took the stage at many of Rev. Billy Graham’s crusades.
Although the flick did show Cash auditioning by playing a gospel song for Sam Phillips at Sun Records, even here it omitted a momentous detail.
Cash split from Sun Records in the 1950s because he was not allowed to record a gospel album.
Also left out of the film was the dramatic moment when Cash entered a cave in Tennessee to die because of his drug addiction. According to the singer’s autobiography, God stopped him from killing himself.
The Left Coast Report points out that an Oscar can go to a song about a pimp but a faith scene cannot be tolerated.
