o'humor - Injured Golfer
From: drude Sent: Friday, June 27, 2014 Subject: Injured Golfer
A woman was playing golf when she took a big swing and fell.
The party waiting behind her was a group from Washington , DC that included Barack Obama.
Barack quickly stepped forward and helped her to her feet.
She thanked him and started to leave, when he said, "I'm Barack Obama and I hope you'll vote Democratic in the next election.
She laughed and quickly said, "I fell on my butt, not my head."

o'stand down - "Thanks for your service Captain, and don't let the door hit you on the way out.'"

"The latest from the miserable excuse for a 'Commander-in-Chief', the neutered Secretary of Defense, and the careerist bobbleheads in the senior management of the Army."Sending pink slips to a war zone
By Jonathan Hendershott, July 9, 2014 | Modal Trigger

In a stunning display of callousness, the Defense Department has announced that thousands of soldiers - many serving as commanding officers in Afghanistan - will be notified in the coming weeks that their service to the country is no longer needed.
Last week, more than 1,100 Army captains - the men and women who know best how to fight this enemy because they have experienced multiple deployments - were told they'll be retired from the Army.
The overall news is not unexpected. The Army has ended its major operations in Iraq and is winding down in Afghanistan. Budget cuts are projected to shrink the Army from its current 520,000 troops to 440,000, the smallest size since before World War II.
What is astonishing is that the Defense Department thought it would be appropriate to notify deployed soldiers - men and women risking their lives daily in combat zones - that they'll be laid off after their current deployment.
As one Army wife posted on MilitaryFamily.org, "On some level I knew the drawdowns were inevitable, but I guess I never expected to be simultaneously worried about a deployment to Afghanistan and a pink slip because my husband's service is no longer needed."
Yet the issues go far beyond thanklessness. The nation should worry about the increased national-security risk of separating such a large pool of combat-experienced leaders. The separated soldiers are those who carry the deepest knowledge base of counterinsurgency operations.
A senior Defense Department official warned: :If the force is smaller, there's less margin for error. Let's face it - things are pretty uncertain out there."
Commenting on the extraordinarily large number of captains being retired, Army Vice Chief of Staff Gen. John Campbell said: "In other times, they'd probably continue to stay in the Army. But these are not normal times."
Indeed not. While mass layoffs in the private sector generate front-page headlines, the media have largely ignored the reduction of our military. But who can blame them?
The war-weary public doesn't want to hear that the cuts put the country at risk.
After more than a decade of fighting, even the most faithful - who used to rally behind the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan by sending CARE packages filled with cookies, candies and reminders of home - have moved on with their lives, with few thoughts of the soldiers still serving there.
And for far too many, a soldier is an uncomfortable reminder of what we have failed to do in the Middle East.
The most famous soldier in the country at the moment is not Lance Cpl. Kyle Carpenter, who was recently awarded the Medal of Honor for absorbing the brunt of a grenade blast in order to save a fellow Marine.
Instead, the media has focused on Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, a soldier who appears to have deserted his unit.
Consumed with the Bergdahl trade, most have ignored the death of Capt. Jason Jones, a heroic Special Forces commander killed by the Taliban in a firefight in Afghanistan less than a week after the Bergdahl release.
Capt. Jones was mourned by his family and his friends. He will never be forgotten by the soldiers who served with him and the cadets he led in his years at West Point.
The US Military Academy has paid a high price for these post-9/11 wars.
According to the Naval History and Heritage Command, the West Point cadet-to-death ratio in Iraq and Afghanistan is 11 times higher than the ratio experienced for the Academy in World War II, four times greater than during the Korean War and more than three times greater than in the Vietnam and Persian Gulf wars.
None of our soldiers has ever asked for our gratitude - they never really expected it. But they did expect to be able to finish the job they trained to do.
Sending pink slips to commanders still serving in a combat zone is wrong. They deserve so much better than this.
Former US Army Capt. Jonathan Hendershott (West Point, 2007) served in Iraq with the 101st Airborne Division and as a company commander in Ft. Hood, Texas. He lives in New York City.

o'wussifiy - San Francisco to Ban “Culturally-Insensitive” Clothing

Wussification of America: San Fran Giants to Ban "Culturally-Insensitive" Clothing
Wasn't there once a time in this country when you could wear what you wanted, say what you wanted, and trust that the worst you might get for your efforts was a punch in the face? No one's advocating for violence or lawlessness, but this continued wussification of the country that seems to please liberals to no end has a weakening effect on our right to free speech.
While it's true that the First Amendment applies only to the government itself and does not apply to private businesses, even private policies can push the direction of the country to the left and have an impact on what people consider acceptable. The government already uses concepts like "hate speech" to get around the First Amendment, and several countries in Europe throw people in jail for speech they consider racist or intolerant.
What's this all about?
According to KCBS in San Francisco, the Giants baseball organization is in the closing stages of striking a policy against "culturally-insensitive" attire at the team's AT&T Park. "We want to make sure that our fans are respectful of each other and the different backgrounds that everyone comes from," Giants' Sr. Vice President Staci Slaughter told the news station Wednesday. This would make the Giants the first MLB team in the country to adopt such a policy.
Which "sensitive" group is at the heart of the problem? Native Americans, naturally. The incident that gave birth to the policy apparently took place on a Native American Heritage Night, which saw a couple of Native Americans ask a white fan to remove the headdress he was wearing. It's not clear from the report how the incident transpired or whether the fan removed the headdress on complaint, but this doesn't seem like the sort of thing that should be the park's business. We're not talking about some skinhead wearing a swastika shirt on Jewish Appreciation Night.
What's next for AT&T Park? Will we be banning jeers from the stands? Perhaps fans should be more respectful of the opposing team, treating them with the honor and polite applause that Major League millionaires so rightfully deserve. And what's next for Native Americans, who seem bound and intent to wash away any remnants of their culture that persist beyond the reservations? Wise observers can already see that the writing is on the wall for the Washington Redskins, who earlier this year lost their right to the trademarks – a cowardly move on the part of the government in an attempt to circumvent free speech.
The substance of Staci Slaughter's defense can't be argued. We are a country of diverse backgrounds, and it would benefit the civility of all involved if each could show a little more respect to the other. Simply put, though, banning certain forms of attire isn't the way forward. I'm much more comfortable when racists and bigots are allowed to fully express themselves. Wouldn't that be better than hiding everyone in a brown uniform, letting their hatred only shine through in subtler, more dangerous ways?
Ah well, welcome to America: 2014, the Kindergarten Years.

ProLife Alert - S.2578 & S.1696, (Democrat) laws to destroy all pro-life laws
The Democrats will pay back Planned Parenthood & its subsideraries anyway they can, including killing babies. -- rfh
From: Marjorie Dannenfelser, SBA List Sent: Monday, July 14, 2014 Subject: ALERT: law to destroy all pro-life laws
| S. 1696 would overturn almost every pro-life law since Roe v. Wade The Senate votes this week on S. 2578, a bill introduced by Democrats to overturn the religious freedom protections upheld in the Supreme Court Hobby Lobby ruling and force religious Americans to provide others' abortion-inducing drugs. And, as if that wasn't terrible enough, tomorrow the pro-abortion Senate is advancing another bill, S. 1696, the so-called "Women's Health Protection Act," that attempts to wipe out almost every pro-life law on the books. This bill is worse than FOCA, the radically pro-abortion legislation Barack Obama championed as a Senator. Our research arm, the Charlotte Lozier Institute, just completed an in-depth analysis of the atrocious, far-reaching ramifications S. 1696 would have on unborn babies and their mothers. S.1696 would jeopardize or outright invalidate several pro-life laws that are broadly supported by the American people, especially women. I know many of you personally worked to pass these laws protecting women and the unborn. Just a few examples:
Tomorrow morning the Senate Committee on the Judiciary will hold a hearing on S. 1696. Your SBA List has been working tirelessly with our allies on the Hill to prepare for this hearing. Two of our courageous, SBA-List backed women, Reps. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and Diane Black (R-TN) will be testifying AGAINST this radical bill. Their voices will powerfully contradict the lie that S. 1696, which destroys protections for unborn babies and their mothers, is somehow good for women. This radical bill advancing in the Senate is a truly sobering reminder of why it is so important to kick out pro-abortion Senators this November and replace them with champions for the unborn. This is SBA List�s mission and, with your help, we will elect our endorsed pro-life candidates to Congress and build a pro-life Senate majority that will defend unborn babies and their mothers.
