Saluting The Vets

A hail and hearty "Thank You!" to all those who have served and continue to do so. I cannot remember an era in which your service has been so impuned by an administration at a time when it is needed so dearly. Your sacrifice will be recognized and rewarded, and this country will be set upon its rightful course once again, and soon.

The Turret would also like to extend sincere sympathies to the families of the Ft Hood atrocity.

The Turret Has Not Forgotten

Nor will I ever forget, as our Coward in Chief currently occupying the White House would like us to.

I've been quite busy, tending to the cause that is ridding us of the Obama scourge. It's been a difficult absence but mind you - according to Dear Leader, we are no longer engaged in a global war on terror. No, now we're engaged in "overseas contigency operations". We're not even supposed to use the term "jihadist". So apparently we're involved in combat against Catholic schoolgirls? Who knows. It's hard to carry on a fight that your own Commander in Chief does not believe in or refuses to engage in. By all accounts, he'd be just as happy to surrender just so long as he could blame it on someone else. What a scumbag.

But, today does not belong to the Scumbag in Chief. It belongs to the memories of those slain on 9/11/01...and to those who have given their lives in the great struggle against ISLAMIC FASCISM. Today belongs to them. Tomorrow begins again the struggle to rid ourselves of the Obama scourge.

California Tax Revolt Day!

Tuesday, May 19th. California taxpayers go to the polls to deliver what should be a stinging rebuke to the tax and spend policies of Sacramento. I want to be crystal clear on this as the almost the entire universe of the blogosphere and national punditry of this situation wrong. The Governator is doing what he sees as the last resort before he is required to make "draconian" cuts to the state's budget. This is where most of the arguments end. Some continue on to scratch at the surface of the real problem but never dig deep into the issue: it is the fault of an entrenched and politically corrupt Democrat legislature that is 95% responsible for getting California into this mess. 5% goes to Arnie for 4 years of week leadership, but it is due to decades of Democratic fiduciary malfeasance that we find ourselves at this sorry state. Today, we will send a clear message to not just the state but to the Obama administration as well that we are going to fight and fight hard against the rampant power grab of the statists.

Obama Administration Steals Private Property for Crescent of Shame Memorial

Followers of The Turret will know this subject well, as I have posted on it exhaustively. We, and many others have fought a good and effective fight and have held up development to date. However today we find that the Obama administration is launching a fresh attack, and is using Imminent Domain to seize private property in order to build this disgrace.

Atlas Shrugged blog is all over this, having posted on this story yesterday. And, whereas I tend to be lazy, and Ms Geller is oh so intelligent and attractive, I'll just link to her site and let you all have at it. You'll thank me, I know.

UPDATE! The Ongoing Fight Against ACORN

When I'm on the money, I am dead on! To follow up my post from yesterday regarding ACORN thuggery, it has just come across the wire that Glenn Beck has tossed ACORN spokestool who accused him of "being afraid of black people" which of course is accusing him of being racist. That's how these asshats work. Any disagreement is immediately met with the race card.

Big time cudos to Glenn Beck for not putting up with this and dealing with it in a quick and decisive manner.

I'm sure we're gonna be hearing much more of this. In the meantime, here's the video.



And here's the whole thing. Watch this cockroach squirm as Beck basically reads out the convictions as highlighted in the Fraud Map in yesterday's post. This is soooooooo sweet!

The Ongoing Fight Against ACORN

Despite a near complete media blackout, news of the ongoing battles against ACORN continues to leat out, and the news is good.

First up, in Nevada we have fresh indictments of voter fraud involving ACORN ...indicted on 26 counts of voter fraud involving 19,000 fraudulent registrations.

As usual, ACORN blames "rogue elements" within their organization. And of course, it's a blatant lie. As this Fraud Map clearly shows, ACORN is involved in widespread and systematic voter fraud all in the name of their Fuhrer and the Democrat party.

100 Days of Banana Boat Socialism

A hail and hearty "bite my aspic" to Chicago Street Thug President on this his 100th day of dictatorial rule in the US.

I just needed to get something in for now, my full post is a work in progress and will appear this evening. Suffice to say, that the Anointed One chose today to take a personal swipe at the Tea Party protesters for doing nothing more than exercising their 1at Amendment rights. This punk is so egomaniacal that any criticism is personal and therefore he responds in kind. What. A. Tool. But that's where we stand folks.

And one last note before I log off for now... how ironic that so many New Yorkers were driven to stark raving terror by the very president they voted for in overwhelming numbers. Obama has never believed in a War on Terror. New Yorkers voted him in, and their reward? A slap in the face and feigned ignorance. Sadly, I doubt New Yorkers have learned anything from this. The Cult of Obama goosesteps onward.

So let's review where we are:

He's gonna close Gitmo with no follow up plan other than to release terrorists into the US where they will then live off the taxpayer dime.

He's quadrupled the national debt but still complains about the debt he inherited.

His administration is chock full of tax cheats, lobbyists and tax cheating lobbyists.

His repeated campaign claims of "transparency" and "bipartisanship" have been exposed as utter lies.

He is utterly clueless without his teleprompter.

The Media is now an adjunct arm of the White House. We no longer have a free press.

He has personally attacked private citizens - most notably the Tea Party protesters - who have done nothing else but exercise their 1st Amendment rights

Has crippled our intelligence gathering capabilities.

Has identified conservatives as a national threat and will use DHS to gather information on anyone suspected of being a conservative critic of this administration.

....and folks that's just for starters. Gear up - it's gonna be a tough 4 years.
