Feds ask court to dismiss ’don’t ask’ lawsuit:
Even as federal officials laud the end of the U.S. military’s ban on openly gay troops, Justice Department lawyers are trying to dissuade a federal appeals court from deciding if the "don’t ask, don’t tell" policy was unconstitutional.
They filed a motion Tuesday asking the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco to vacate a lower court ruling last September that found the ban violated the civil rights of gay service members.
The gay political group Log Cabin Republicans, which brought the case, wants the appeals court to address the ban’s constitutional implications.

M/GySgt Leland "Lou" Diamond USMC
M/GySgt Leland "Lou" Diamond USMC:
It has been a long time in coming, but recently, I did meet a WW II Marine who both knew and served with Lou Diamond.
That Marine is Fred Hyden of the American Legion, Post #69 in Avon Park, Florida. Fred was a Pfc in the same battalion as Lou, at New River, N.C. in 1941, and at Guadalcanal in 1942, and Australia, etc. Lou Diamond was the mortar chief of H-2-5, and Fred was a mortarman in G-2-5.
Fred says that, in those days, the mortars (60mm and 81mm) were frequently employed together with the mortars from several, or all, companies within the battalion, under one command; thus, Fred was often in contact with Diamond on a daily basis, both in training and combat. Fred was present during the ocassion from which the legend arose regarding Diamond having lobbed a mortar down the smokestack of a Japanese ship off Guadalcanal.............................

GUNNY G: DO YOU REMEMBER "CAN YOU TOP THIS?"
READER REMARKS.....
Reminds me of the old CYTT? radio show...
CAN YOU TOP THIS?
Ref
CYTT? was an early 1940s radio show where a group of comedians started off with one of them telling a joke (sent in by the radio audience).
The other members of the group then each tried to “top” the joke with their own telling of a joke.
It was one of my favorite shows when I was a kid during the pre-wartime ‘40s, when I could stay up late enough to listen in.
Things,needless to say, were a lot simpler then....

It is no longer any secret that Barack Hussein Obama II is not a Natural Born Citizen, which means it is common knowledge that he currently holds the office illegally and without constitutional authority.
Simply defeating him in 2012 will not bring justice or proper resolution to this matter of utmost importance to millions of Americans, especially all who have and currently served in the military, in the defense of the Constitutional Republic, freedom, liberty and equal justice under the rule of law.
Only if a candidate can pass this test should there be any other questions concerning their candidacy. If they do not stand for Article II, then they cannot stand for the Constitution.

Most Alaska residents will soon be getting a check for $1,174 simply because they live there.
Each person's share of the state's vast oil wealth was announced with much fanfare in Anchorage Tuesday, with Gov. Sean Parnell ripping open a gold-colored envelope to reveal the number. This day is so widely anticipated in Alaska that the announcement of the Permanent Fund Dividend amount was carried live on television statewide, and dozens tuned in to watch a live webcast by the governor's office.

The Economic Theory of the Firm - 'What is a firm?; ' So could there be firms without corporate law?"Per Bylund - Mises Daily
What is a firm?
This may not seem like a question in lack of an answer. In the United States, as in most other countries, it is a registered, regulated entity acting legally as a person. But economically, the legal definition is irrelevant: the economic function of the "firm" is not its legal status — if it were, then the law rather than the organization would provide the market with that function.
So could there be firms without corporate law?
The answer is obvious: firms exist and are an important part of modern markets today just as they existed and provided a vital function before the law defined and certified such organizations.
Indeed, one can easily argue that corporate law is primarily about government taxation and regulation of the market — and defines the firm only as a means toward these ends.
Consequently, the..............................

Tony Bennett says US 'caused' 9/11 attacks
Tony Bennett says US 'caused' 9/11 attacks: Legendary singer Tony Bennett has waded into a new controversy by saying America "caused" the attacks on the Twin Towers.
The 85-year-old Grammy-winning crooner, famed for the 1960s hit single "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" appeared on the "Howard Stern Show" on Sirius XM Radio yesterday to discuss his latest album "Duets II."
But he also ended up talking about his antipathy to war, borne out of his experience serving as an infantryman in Europe in the last two years of World War II.
"But who are the terrorists? Are we the terrorists or are they the terrorists? Two wrongs don't make a right," Bennett said talking about the aftermath of the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center.

“Yes, we can!”
Picture the Tea Party running the government, that is
- Judi McLeod Tuesday, September 20, 2011 (0) Comments | Print friendly | Email Us |
“Can you picture the Tea Party RUNNING THE GOVERNMENT?” JB Poersch, Executive Director or of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC), asks pointblank in an email this morning.
To borrow from an oft astroturfed, Teleprompter mantra: YES, WE CAN!
“This is not class warfare, it’s math,” President Barack Obama said yesterday,” Poersch wrote in his never ending plea for more money from the working poor.
“Exactly. Fair is fair. But Republicans don’t care about fair. They only care about winning.
“If our economy is destroyed, so be it. If the middle class withers, tough. If seniors are worried about their Social Security and Medicare, too bad. As long as Republicans control the White House and Congress, they couldn’t care less.”

He said that while global powers cannot and should not intervene every time there is an injustice in the world, there are occasions when nations must join forces to prevent the killing of innocent civilians.
"Our international coalition stopped the regime in its tracks and saved countless lives, and gave the Libyan people the time and space to prevail," Obama said.
Obama was joined .. by several other world leaders and representatives of Libya's National Transitional Council. Prior to the gathering, Obama met one-on-one with the NTC's chairman, Mustafa Abdel Jalil.

Obama’s ineligibility: Marco Rubio can’t be President or Vice President
Obama’s ineligibility: Marco Rubio can’t be President or Vice President:
The critical issue for the 2012 election is whether or not a government of the people, by the people and for the people, shall perish from the earth.
The US Government has been hijacked by a self-serving, permanent political class, which considers itself above the law and elections as bothersome formalities temporarily interrupting their plundering of the nation’s wealth.
Having become comfortable with ignoring the will of the people, American politicians have created a culture of corruption in Washington, D.C., while they steadily whittle away at the Constitution to remove any remaining obstacles in their pursuit of personal power and affluence.
The rule of law has deteriorated to such an extent that it is now possible for Barack Hussein Obama to present a forged Certificate of Live Birth on national television, to use a stolen Social Security Number and forge his Selective Service registration without a single member of Congress raising an objection.
In 2012, these same politicians will ask voters to ignore Obama’s crimes like they have and endorse their endemic corruption.

US House speaker: giving government more tax money like 'giving a cocaine addict more cocaine'
CINCINNATI — U.S. House Speaker John Boehner said Monday he agrees with President Barack Obama that everyone should pay their fair share of taxes, but that "class warfare" and higher taxes won't solve the nation's economic problems.
The Ohio Republican spoke to a business group luncheon at the University of Cincinnati less than two hours after Obama detailed a deficit reduction plan that includes higher taxes for wealthy Americans.
"I understand that it's easy to go out there and talk about taxing billionaires," Boehner said, but he said "class warfare isn't leadership" and the big need is to get people back to work amid a 9.1 percent unemployment rate.......................

"At a time when spending is out of control, giving the federal government more money would be like giving a cocaine addict more cocaine," he said.
Boehner said he supports a "fairer and flatter" tax code that eliminates loopholes.

Obama Rips Up the Constitution
Obama Rips Up the Constitution:
The Constitution of the United States, whose adoption we celebrate every Sept. 17, clearly lists the powers of each branch of the national government.
Let’s take a look at what Barack Obama, like any president, is empowered to do and see if it squares with his actions. In Article II, Section 1, he is sworn to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
Section 2 names the president as commander in chief of the armed forces, grants him the power to make treaties with the advice and consent of the Senate and to appoint ambassadors, federal judges, cabinet officials and other federal officers. In Section 3, the president “shall take care that the Laws be faithfully executed.”.........

Enough mister-nice-President! Obama should 'go negative' on GOP to win 2012 election:
Forget the utterly predictable spin from the White House - Barack Obama is in serious peril of being a one-term President.
That's why Democratic Party elders know he has to hit the road - the low road.
"No hope, no change," a prominent Democratic strategist with close ties to the White House told the Daily News, referring to the uplifting message that won the day in 2008.
"Time to make the other side the issue."
If the 2012 election is a referendum on Obama, which is usually the case for incumbents running for reelection, he will almost certainly lose.

A future for drones: Automated killing
A future for drones: Automated killing:
One afternoon last fall at Fort Benning, Ga., two model-size planes took off, climbed to 800 and 1,000 feet, and began criss-crossing the military base in search of an orange, green and blue tarp.
The automated, unpiloted planes worked on their own, with no human guidance, no hand on any control.
After 20 minutes, one of the aircraft, carrying a computer that processed images from an onboard camera, zeroed in on the tarp and contacted the second plane, which flew nearby and used its own sensors to examine the colorful object. Then one of the aircraft signaled to an unmanned car on the ground so it could take a final, close-up look.
Target confirmed.

A History Lesson for the Racist Bob Beckel
A History Lesson for the Racist Bob Beckel:
“I still have my Che Guevara poster. Che Guevara was a freedom fighter.” (Bob Beckel on FoxNews’ “The Five” Sept. 5th)
If Bob Beckel’s “freedom-fighter” had been allowed his fondest bit of “freedom-fighting” Bob Beckel’s incinerated remains would fit in a gin bottle today. “America is the great enemy of mankind! Against those hyenas there is no option but extermination!...If the missiles had remained, we would have fired them against the very heart of the U.S., including New York City.”
For the record: Ernesto “Che” Guevara was second in command, chief executioner, and chief KGB liaison for a regime that jailed more political prisoners per capita than did Stalin’s during the Great Terror and murdered more people (out of a population of 6.4 million) in its first three years in power than Hitler’s murdered (out of a population of 70 million) in it’s in its first six
Many, perhaps most, of those murdered and jailed by the regime Che Guevara co-founded were Batista opponents

FORMER AIR FORCE STAFF SERGEANT SEEKS LAW ENFORCER WHO WILL “DO HIS DUTY”
September 19, 2011
The town of Gretna, NE is the fastest-growing county in Nebraska since 2000. Its estimated population is between 6,500 and 7,000 residents.
Everyone,
Today I went to the Gretna library, used Microsoft Word, and created a basic flyer. I gave one to the librarian, a police deputy parked outside, my son’s elementary school, my daughter’s middle school, a representative from HearthStone Homes, and my CPA. I haven’t scanned it to my computer so I’ll just retype it here for your viewing:
(in large 72 font and centered): WANTED
“ “ B. OBAMA
“ “ REWARD
(then the following text):
See Daryn J. Moran
402 709 3889 or guadalupesanc59@hotmail.com
This flyer is for public notification that the birth certificate issued by B. Obama on April 27, 2011 is a proven forgery. This is a crime..................

Prison Planet.com � Whistleblowers Allege Drug Cartels Throw Parties For U.S. Officials:
Two former law enforcement officers allege that they cannot get anyone to investigate allegations that the Mexican drug cartels have corrupted U.S. law officers and politicians in the El Paso border region.
Greg Gonzales, a retired Do�a Ana County sheriff’s deputy, and Wesley Dutton, a rancher and former New Mexico state livestock investigator, said that instead of arrests and prosecutions of suspects, their whistle-blowing activities have resulted only in threats and retaliation against themselves.
“I lost my job for a security company at the federal courthouse in Las Cruces because I would not keep my mouth shut, and someone threatened me by holding a knife to my throat,” Gonzales said.
Dutton, a rancher in Southern New Mexico, said an election official stopped by his ranch to ask him what was it going to take for him to retract his allegations concerning the official.

Prison Planet.com � The Obama Tax Plan:
Is Barack Obama Plotting To Use Class Warfare As A Tool To Win The 2012 Election?: Barack Obama has revealed his tax plan and it is a doozy. It would raise taxes by 1.5 trillion dollars over the next decade. Most of these tax increases would hit the wealthy, and Obama keeps insisting that it is time for them “to pay their fair share”. Of course Obama knows that the Republicans will never go for this. You see, what is going on is that Obama is laying a trap.
First, he laid out a 447 billion dollar “jobs plan” that contained all kinds of goodies for the poor and the middle class. Now he has introduced a massive tax plan which specifically targets millionaires in order to pay for it......................

When Karl Marx Worked For Horace Greeley (JFK mentoned this in 1961)
When Karl Marx Worked For Horace Greeley (JFK mentoned this in 1961):
“The first act of the revolutionary drama on the Continent of Europe has closed,” it began upon a somber organ tone; ”“The ‘powers that were’ before the hurricane of 1848, are again the ‘powers that be.’ ”
But, contributor Marx went on, swelling to his theme, the second act of the movement was soon to come, and the interval before the storm was a good time to study the “general social state … of the convulsed nations” that led inevitably to such upheavals.............

President Barack Obama is campaigning, not leading, with his no-pain debt reduction plan
President Barack Obama is campaigning, not leading, with his no-pain debt reduction plan:
Judging by his combativeness Monday, President Obama has gotten the rhetoric of debt reduction down. As for the actual debt, not so much.
Obama's much-awaited plan for achieving long-term U.S. solvency proved to be less than met the ear. He followed what's becoming a depressingly familiar pattern of trumpeting supposedly hard choices while leaving the politically difficult measures to others.
Raise the Medicare retirement age? Not him.
Obama appears to believe that calling for higher taxes on the wealthy and on upper-income earners while claiming undeservedly to be an aggressive budget cutter will make for good campaigning. That it may, but there is far more for a President to be concerned about than the polls.

Bill O’Reilly’s Civil War ~ ~ "O’Reilly remains intensely driven by ratings, and he pores over the numbers when they arrive each day at 4"
Bill O’Reilly’s Civil War:
Some would call that journalistic thuggery. “I don’t care; I couldn’t care less,” O’Reilly says. “My job is to bring information to the people. If they wanna think I’m a thug—they’re probably right.”
O’Reilly remains intensely driven by ratings, and he pores over the numbers when they arrive each day at 4. The debut of Beck’s premium Internet enterprise, GBTV—a daily two-hour webcast—provides a new data point, with about 250,000 subscribers so far. By comparison, O’Reilly’s show after the president’s speech—which was rebroadcast, as always, later in the night—reached 5 million viewers.............

Whose Country Is It, Anyway?:
EXCERPT...
" Is it xenophobic to say our own citizens should come first, that the importation of foreign workers must halt until our own unemployed have found jobs?"
A huge share of our immigrant population is Hispanic. And Rubenstein finds that for every 100 Hispanics employed in the United States in year 2001, 126 are employed today. But for every 100 non-Hispanics employed in 2001, only 98 are working today.
What prevents our politicians from putting Americans first, deporting illegal aliens and suspending the importation of foreign labor until our own workers are back on the job?......
