Please Tell Me

Who is Anna Nicole Smith? Why is her passing, while sad, worth wall to wall 24/7 news coverage? Is she royalty, a world leader, an accomplished anything? What was she besides an over madeup, blond bimbo with an over achieving decolletage that snookered an old man out of his money and parlayed that into tabloid fame. So whose life will the paparrazi destroy next? As the solo post on the passing of a fellow American, I would suspect the harsh dieting technigues used to control her voluptuous figure played a major role and should be used to inform the young ladies of the dangers of this wierd wild persona of purely tabloid fame. Our major news outlets fascination with this Hollywood whore is shameful and beyond the Barnyard to understand. Please tell me why this of any importance at all if it can't be used as a teaching moment for parents wth young ladies dreaming of Hollywood? Sad, so sad...

Now a brief tribute to a real American Lady, Captain Molly Corbin, she fought alongside her husband manning a cannon in our Revolution, continuing the firing regimine after her husband fell and untill she herself was wounded and captured. The first woman to receive full honors and pensions in the US Military history and among the very few interred at West Point. While the Barnyard does not support women in combat, they can be fierce and able warriors and were very instrumental in our founding and very much so on the frontlines. They knew how to shoot and were as hardened as their husbands and with their farms destroyed, they joined the fight, salute!

Now to the real and very modern war, despite what the naybobs and lunatics that want us to lose and now have that stake in the great gamble in the form of the MSM and the politicos in the Dem leadership. We are making real progress with thousands of jihadis killed in Iraq and Afganistan and many thousands more captured, as long as the citizens know we are there to kill the brutal thugs they will side with us and provide invaluable information. The opposite is also true, if we show weakness the average Iraqi will hedge his stance towards the strongest clan or sect is his area and clam up.
Bill Roggio of The Fourth Rail and Mike Yon, "Gates of Fire" fame, both former Special Forces and now independant journalists, are both embedded deep in Iraq with our troops, "Walking the Line" and providing real time unabrogated news and stories. Who can forget these dispatches from Mike Yon.?

Iran is on the verge of cracking under its own retoric, Amir Taheri explains it very well here, here and here. We have an historic chance in the middle East even though it appears fully ablaze, as we are the "strongman" right now and all we have to do is put our foot down once and for all. The only thing keeping the Arabs and Persians from all out war is Israel and the US. The moderate Arab states appear to be waking up as does Pakistan but what that means is yet to be seen in what America does. Are we cowards or leaders of the free world?
Strange, the left here derides the right as Nazi for not approving of homosexual marriage while wanting the US to lose to those that not only would not allow them to marry but would instead remove their heads with a rusty blade. It shows the absolute and blatant divergence from reality and the truth the Hollywood elite and our MSM have acheived. In their warped little minds it is Vietnam all over again and in the case of the press, it is, and by golly it will fit that parameter no matter what. Our MSM has a horse in the race and they bet on the loser being the US and they'll be damned to be proven wrong even at the sacrafice of America. The Third Reich is not in this administration it walks the halls of the nations news rooms and editorial boards, comparing them to Hitler's reign is harsh but stifling opposing views is what they do as well as repeating false propoganda. Why do they want us to lose?
The Socialists have based their final stance in a couple popular issues, global warming and healthcare, and hope to hijack those issues for their political power, not that they care about those people affected, or their stated goals. It is about power and once you can control the people by fiat and demand, freedom is lost and liberty but a fleeting memory. One of the major reasons we have withstood the onslaught of Socialism is that we are NOT a pure democracy but a Federalist Republic with a Representantive gov't of the People by the People,and for the People. Those of us that actually study what our founders had to say are amazed everyday at the depth of wisdom that is brought forth in our Federalist Papers as written by Jay, Hamilton and Madison or the sheer brilliance of the documents they were justifying, The Constitution and Declaration of Independence. The Constitutution and later the Bill of Rights resemble nothing of the modern American leftist view of America. ***

Sen. Mitch McConnell, may just be the man the GOP needs in the hotseat, he knows what those documents mentioned say and mean and has been mentioned for SCOTUS.
The Barnyard is watching.

*** hmmm, don't know what to say to that just yet, it speaks so well for itself.
