Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †
(Via SBPDL) The Warriors is movie in dire need of a re-make. Made in 1979, the movie is a tale of rival gangs in New York City and, well, isn’t a good movie.
Based on a book by Sol Yurick, the director and casting agents of The Warriors was forced to add white characters to the eponymous gang because Paramount (which would be distributing the film) didn’t think an all-Black cast would have any “commercial appeal.”
Yurick’s book doesn’t have a white character, and the re-make of The Warriors should try and be as true to the source material as possible.
With one exception: move the location of the gang-war to Chicago, a city already besieged by the type of violence Yurick wrote about. More to the point, the participants are already the correct racial hue.
The violence in Chicago has been documented here – and here, here, and here – on many occasions (and at VDare), but the night of August 23 and the morning of August 24 broke new ground. (more…)
R. Lee Ermey, the actor best known for his role as the drill sergeant in Stanley Kubrick’s “Full Metal Jacket,” claims he was fired by GEICO for criticizing President Obama.
During an impromptu interview with TMZ, Ermey also said, “If you’re a conservative in this town, you better watch out” (videos follow with transcribed highlights and commentary):
After being asked about his GEICO commercial wherein he played a psychiatrist calling his patient a “jackwagon,” Ermey said, “GEICO fired me because I had, I wasn’t too kind about speaking with the, about the administration, so the present administration. So they fired me.” (more…)
UPDATED Aug. 26, 4:50 p.m.: Gov. Bobby Jindal declares a state of emergency for the entire state of Louisiana, while New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu declares a state of emergency in New Orleans in advance of Isaac. Orleans, Plaquemines, Jefferson and St. Charles parishes all have declared a state of emergency.
Seven years later, those caught in the destructive path of Hurricane Katrina are being urged once again to prepare for the worst, as the threat of Tropical Storm Isaac grows by the minute.
As the large and strengthening system crossed waters with temperatures of more than 80 degrees Sunday, forecasts called for the storm to make landfall along the Gulf coast late Tuesday or early Wednesday as a powerful Category 2 storm. (more…)
There is something going on, something odd, with returning combat military soldiers. They are closely tracked, there is a concerted and coordinated following of their activity, and, in many cases, odd interventionist steps by the federal government via law enforcement to remove/restrict their assimilation into mainstream society.
I don’t know how to connect all these seemingly random, yet not disparate, dots into a cogent discussion thread, but something is definitely afoot. Something.
We saw it recently with the former Marine who was removed from his home for a facebook post questioning government; and in a larger sense, that one example does not stand alone. Located within various chat-rooms, websites, patriot corners etc. etc. you will find multiple examples of government officials taking custody of veterans under various auspices, mostly psychological concerns.
A couple of examples from similar stories below: (more…)
Mailboxes along the roads and old barns set back in fields overgrown with weeds often served as landmarks in rural Montana. These landmarks told us where we were and how far we had to go. Sometimes they signaled “home” and the end of the road. At other times, barely visible through swirling snow, they told us it would be awhile. The word pictures of those mailboxes and old barns may be about events, personalities or furniture.
My Dad was a reader, and the big leather rocking chair in the corner of the living room was where he sat to read. He had other leather club chairs too but he rarely used those. This MBOB is about that rocking chair.
Farm kids in the 1950s were not routinely babysat. They were cared for by their parents until they were old enough to be left alone. Since parents didn’t care to be trapped at home for seven years running, of course, this was the reason children learned how to behave in 
public from age two and going forward–until they could be left home alone.
The Age of Accountability was not just a doctrine of the church in those parts. It was a spot in the road, a pinpoint of light cast over a child’s life when that child was made to know that henceforth and forever, they were “old enough to know better,” “should be ashamed of themselves for acting like that,” were discovered to have been “acting like a baby,” or were expected to “act their age.” Now that magical and powerful phrase “act your age” was quite fluid in its applications but the use of it by a parent had a couple of standard characteristics.

(via MoonBattery) Collectivists are fond of indulging in their perception of themselves as intellectually superior to their individualist opponents. No doubt they think they are much better read. Yet when the libs at Amazon put together an “election heat map” indicating which states are reading red (conservative) versus blue (moonbatty) books, the result was a countermoonbat landslide:
What does it look like when the new dictator, and North Korean leader, Kim Jong-Il shows up at your house for a photo-op? The expressions on the family’s faces are priceless.
