The Morning Rant: J.V. Edition

September 11th 2001 was a singular event in American history, and one that should be respected, not used as a facile and inflammatory analogy for other events. "This silly and culturally unimportant event is like 9/11" should be stricken from the style guides of every columnist and pundit and assorted ass-hat who chooses to trivialize the murder of 3,000 Americans. And part of me suspects that the construction is purposeful, to shrink the attacks down to a forgettable size, to make them just another bump in the road to the new world order that so many enemies of America desire.

Too much of our current recognition of the attacks are a maudlin paean to loss, rather than a cold and brutal reminder that we are in a war for our very existence. Perhaps "9/11" should be more closely aligned with "Remember Pearl Harbor," with its martial connotations and call to arms.

This date evokes in me a cold fury, that we were attacked, that we have not yet brought the full weight of our culture and might to bear on those who would destroy us.

One important aspect of 9/11 is how we ruthlessly killed thousands upon thousands of Islamic radical savages in righteous vengeance.

And we're still killing them today. The West is not beaten.

Yes Mr. Schlichter, we are still killing them, and we are not beaten. But a renewed attention to our martial spirit is in order. I am confident that our armed forces are up to the task, especially with the cataclysmic shift in the oval office, but the focus is still on surgical strikes and guarding the delicate sensibilities of the soft and effeminate West, at the expense of American blood. Too many Americans have died because of this attitude, and it is long past the time at which we move to a real war footing. The lives of Americans must be considered more valuable, and must be preserved. If that means that more civilians in far-off lands are killed as a result of actions against our enemies, then so be it. It is time to take to heart the phrase, "America First," not as the isolationist organization that collapsed just days after Pearl Harbor, or as a KKK slogan (which is just what the media wants), but as a reminder that we have the right and obligation to defend our national interests against all attacks, and to place the well-being of Americans above all others.

I agree that sexism was a factor in the Serena incident. Clearly, she attacked the umpire because he is a man who doesn't put up with her crap. Feminists only give a pass to men (males, that is) who are pansies.

If you aren't reading Mike Adams you need to start. He and Kurt Schlichter are, along with Ace, the three most refreshing conservative voices on the intertubes.
