Terrorist Stronghold Retaken

Those terrorist-loving, John Murtha-hugging, communist-supporting twits at Code Pink have been protesting outside Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. for quite some time now. (They have also been doing the same thing outside the Balboa Naval Hospital in San Diego, California).

Fortunately, the cadre running the operation at Walter Reed took too many hits of the wacky weed, and failed to renew the protest permits for "their corners."

The Good Guys were vigilant.

The Good Guys attacked.

To make the point to Code Pink and the general public, some of The Good Guys advertised that things had changed:

Beautiful.

Good to have ya back Ace.

Thanks for the compliment, but check the byline.

Posted by: Harry Callahan on January 23, 2006 10:26 PM

Goddamnit. Sorry about that. Fuckin byline. Are you sure your not Ace?

Posted by: Amish on January 23, 2006 10:41 PM

Thanks for the link, Harry, and for stopping by. Pathetic that these Pinkos hold their anti-war protests, disguised as "vigils", outside of military hospitals. And that's why we're there, so the troops don't have just them to see.

Stay tuned for next week....

Is it just me or does our side have a lot more fun than theirs?

Posted by: Sortelli on January 23, 2006 11:23 PM

I make a point of 'visiting' the hippies in my town each Thursday night, to remind them who provides them the freedom to exercise their rights of assembly and free speech.
And to tell them that they are shit-for-brains hippies.
But I'm grateful to those that keep vigil for the Troops, especially in front of our hospitals.
The last thing they need is to see those anti-American sons-of-bitches 'supporting' them, after losing a limb or worse.
What callous, selfish pigs.
Useful idiots.

Good job outta these guys. Now I hope they've learned the lesson of the First Battle of Fallujah: Never pay for the same ground twice.

Their permit renewal committee should have more redundancy than the safety systems on a nuclear reactor.

Not to mention "imagining a sign that isn't in the picture." The only signs I see say "This corner under new non-commie management," "support our troops," and "U tha ou mil" -- which probably in its entirety reads "US (something?) thanks our military."

Glad to help.

I wonder where Code Pink gets their money from. Someone is giving Medea Benjamin $$ to fly all over the place to be obnoxious.

It would be interesting to do an actual auditing of the protest industry, to see who pays for how much of what.
And to see what hotels the big names get to stay in (my bet it isn't the airport Days Inn).

This might be a good place to start.

My husband did two tours in Vietnam and when he came home he joined up with a number of these "pinko" organizations as you people call them, protesting outside hospitals and government buildings.

Why?

Because, after seeing and experiencing what he had in the war zone, losing many friends and being wounded himself, came to realize the American people were being led astray by the likes of Johnson and Nixon, all in the name of the political downside of "America losing a war."

Someday, many of you people, who my husband referred to as, "talkers, but not walkers" (not that some of you haven't served) will see the light and understand that Iraq is proving to be just as big a mistake as Vietnam ever was.

What's most disheartening, is that right now, it appears that anyone who doesn't agree with the current policies is considered unpatriotic, and treasonous, and I think that is not only unfair, it is un-American.

Maybe, instead of taking over the sidewalks outside the hospitals, the pro-war protesters could step inside and see what this fiasco has wrought.

Posted by: Martha on January 24, 2006 12:01 PM

Martha:

We don't really mind if protests are held outside government buildings. We do think it's heinous and despicable when protests are held outside a medical facility. The "pro-war" protestors are not "taking over the sidewalks" to send a message, but to stop the liberal hyenas from demoralizing patients and their loved ones during their recuperation.

Posted by: geoff on January 24, 2006 12:12 PM

geoff:
Have you ever visited any of the wounded?

I spend 20 hours a week doing so, and believe me, if you think the anti-war protesters are "demoralizing" these people, you are dreaming.

There are certainly some who are still as gung-ho as ever, but at least 90% of those who are free to voice their concerns and opinions say that it's the actual war itself, the rationale behind the initial invasion, and the realization that their wounds will forever effect their lives, that has them wondering why they were there in the first place and if and when their fellow soldiers will ever return.

Posted by: Martha on January 24, 2006 12:27 PM

That "at least 90%" sounds kinda like Kerry's claim that 3/4 of the military planned to vote for him 2004.

Posted by: RDub on January 24, 2006 12:45 PM

Someday, many of you people...will see the light and understand that Iraq is proving to be just as big a mistake as Vietnam ever was.
That'll happen only if we (again) turn our backs on the aspirations of a people seeking to live with a government of their own choosing.

Cordially...

Posted by: on January 24, 2006 12:46 PM

Have you ever visited any of the wounded?

No I haven't (they closed the military hospital here years ago). I make it a point to donate, though, and I religiously read the BlackFive site to hear the stories of the wounded, dead, and active military personnel in Afghanistan and Iraq. None of them sound anything like what you describe - most are trying to get back to their units as soon as they can, and most believe that they're doing a tremendous amount of good for the Iraqi people.

So I'm sorry, but your account sounds a lot like projection and selective filtering to me. But I think we'd all agree that peace, quiet, and a non-political atmosphere would be the best environment for the patients.

Martha. Is. Full. Of. Shit.

She thinks that if the soldiers she supposedly visits do not tell her what whe wants to hear then they are simply not free to speak out. Bullshit.

I'm sure she goes down like a turd in a punchbowl in a military hospital.

Not that I believe she actually visits. She's like PLV or Micah Wright: a shameless liar.

Now--wait for it--

Totally predictable and pathetic.

Martha,

I'll have to take your claim that your husband served in Vietnam. While his alleged service carries a demand for some well-deserved respect, it's not about to convince me to toe some ridiculous lefty line.

As for the comment about not 'Walking the Walk', I guess you mean serving in the military. I don't know who on this page has actually served in the military, but let me clear something up for you: The military serves the civilians. I pay for it every day. For that support, and for that money, I expect the military to protect me and my interests AGAINST ALL THREATS, FOREIGN. Are they braver than me? After watching Band of Brothers, and reading the book, I have to reply with an unqualified 'Yes'. But nobody, NOBODY, is going to tell me to stop operating in the interest of my own preservation, or the preservation of my way of life, just because I don't "Walk the Walk."

You see, we're different from the banana republics that the libs love so much, like Cuba, in that CIVILIANS call the shots, not the military. Imagine that.

Finally, you're right: This is in many ways just like Vietnam, in that we are operating in the interests in our country, and there are idiots out there who would like to see America back down again, to prove that we can be pushed around, so another 15 years of terrorist pinpricks can be endured, until they set us up for the knockout punch.

In short, nothing you've said so far matters. Murtha served in the military and he can sit and spin on it too. Your comment about military kids losing their support for the mission is a load of bull in any event.

Over and out.

Elric the Blade says he's no longer sure that Trump will have the right to appeal in the NY fraud case:
Yesterday, I thought that Trump had an appeal as of right on the fraud liability, based upon news reports that cited the second opinion as declining to find in favor of liability. That would give Trump at least 2 dissenting judges for an appeal as of right.
But now, after seeing the actual decisions, I'm not so sure. Sorry, guys. I've never seen or heard of what the second opinion did. They dissented, but ... decided not to dissent? I'm not sure what the effect is in terms of whether Trump has a right to appeal. I doubt anyone does.
I think even if Trump doesn't have a right of appeal, the Court of Appeals (NY's highest court) will take the case. But ... it's a liberal court so who knows how they'll rule. I have the docket number so I can track what gets appealed to the Court of Appeals. If Trump wants to appeal, I think he might file an appeal as of right and a petition for permission to appeal. His lawyers know this case much better than I, but even they might know what the effect of all the opinions are.
I don't think they'll take the appeal. Judges are lazy and cowardly and will duck any hot potato case they can. These judges are also liberal hacks, and do not want to deliver Trump a full victory.
