Barker's Newsbites: Thursday, October 27, 2011

Some videos are worthy of periodic re-airing - this is one of them.

(By the way... really cool "true" stereo recording...)

Oh... and speaking of messages that bear repeating...

You folks have simply got to read Mark Steyn's lastest tome, "After America: Get Ready for Armageddon".

Steyn is so right... and so... entertaining... while documenting the decline and fall of our once great nation with facts taken right out of Barker's Newsbites that the experience of reading his latest best seller is akin to watching a well made horror movie on DVD at home where you can pause and replay at your leisure!

Oh... and speaking of books...

Don't forget, folks... Pat Buchanan's latest - "Suicide of a Superpower" - is out now! I've already placed a "hold" on it at my local library, but I may break down and actually purchase a copy for myself rather than wait.

As regular readers know... like me, Pat Buchanan is usually right.

Folks... I'm begging you... don't simply piss away your hard earned money this Christmas and Chunukah on Chinese made crap! Buy books as gifts! Give them to young, impressionable skulls full of mush as well as to old, artery clogged sheeple you know and love (or who are simply on your gift list... er... because...) so as to hopefully educate them.

Perhaps it's too late to save America... but we've gotta try!

The difference between confidence and bluster...

Hiya Gang!

Just a shout-out to my nephews Sean, Dom, and Brendan (oh... and nephew-in-spirit "Black Sean") who make up "A Fragile Tomorrow."

These kids are pretty damned talented... and right now they're preparing for their upcoming West Coast tour with "The Bangles."

Here's a little rock... here's a little acoustic...

Enjoy!

Remember when Born Free was aired on network TV - during prime time - once a year and the whole family would gather to watch it together?

I miss my America.

My America was so much better than today's America.

In honor of Sunday...

(It's 9:15 a.m. and I just had a slice of cold, leftover pizza for breakfast!)

In line with my "Gadhafi post" below and my reminiscing about American values... the classic American Western character study... here's a little blast from the greatness of America's past.

Oh... and for a bit of variety... diversity if you will... check out this... and this... and this...

Allied With Savages

Our nation's friendemy, Moammar Gadhafi, was murdered.

Did he deserve to die? No doubt! But has the Age of Obama so distorted Americans' moral compasses that we won't even call a spade a spade anymore?

Gadhafi was murdered...!!! He wasn't captured, tried, found guilty and executed; he was captured and then murdered.

Hey... it wasn't us... it happened over there... it was them. Nothing to do with us, right?

Wrong!

Com'on... we enabled Gadhafi's murder. We "allied" ourselves with savages.

I was socialized on John Wayne movies. Remember "the Code of the West," the "Rule of Law," American justice symbolized by the sheriff or marshal who would risk all and fight till his last breath to protect his prisoner from the lynch mob regardless of what a rotten, murderous, deserving of death scumbag his prisoner was?

Is there any doubt that Moammar Gadhafi was a vile dictator - a murder - a murderer responsible for the deaths of Americans?

Nope.

Did Ronald Reagan himself order the bombing of Gadhafi's personal living compound in 1986 in response to the Berlin discotheque bombing of that same year?

Yes!

But that was an act of retribution...

Simply putting a bullet into the head of a captured prisoner - no matter how hated... no matter how deserving - is murder.

Up above I tag Gadhafi America's friendemy. You know why - right? After the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq Gadhafi basically wet his pants, agreed to scrap his WMD programs and support for terrorism, and reached out for what the foreign policy types and academic types would term a "rapprochement" with the United States.

And guess what? Basically he got his wish! The Bush administration claimed this "rapprochement" a great diplomatic victory and when Barak Hussein Obama became president he (and his Secretary of State, Hillary Rodham Clinton) pursued the same policy... up till...

Well... you know the rest folks - or if you don't, you can google it.

Who are we now "allied" with in Libya? Savages? No doubt. Murderers? Yep. Definitely. Criminals? Uh... yeah... no doubt!

Will the new Libyan government prove to be less inimical to American interests than the 2003-2011 Gadhafi regime? Who can say? Who knows...?!?! Certainly I have no crystal ball.

The question is... did the Obama administration just spend - pretty much unilaterally... skirting the Constitution at best - almost two billion taxpayer dollars (borrowed from China?) to move American interests in the Middle East (technically North Africa) from the frying pan into the fire?

Time will tell...

Are we allied with the sort of savages who proudly murder a helpless captive in cold blood and thus deprive their fellow countrymen and countrywomen as well as the rest of the world's population of true justice seen carried out...

Yes.

My Fellow Americans...

If you didn't read yesterday's newsbites I strongly suggest you check out "twofer" comment #13/#14.

I don't know about "rednecks," but I do know that if We as a People - an American People with an American Creed - don't "take America back" from those who want to "fundamentally change" her...

(*SIGH*)

Folks... the inmates are running asylum and if We The People don't take the the keys to the front gate back, then the die is surely cast putting paid to all of the hopes and dreams we grew up believing in and which we had hoped to bequeath to our children and grandchildren.

And this is what it's come to, folks... celebrating the lifestyle of a serial adulterer, predator, and accused rapist.

Is it a catchy tune? Sure! Does that detract from the larger message that the American culture which once shone as a beacon for the world now more closely resembles a red light signifying a whorehouse?

Folks... all too often nowadays I'm literally ashamed to be an American. Right now is one of those times.

Oh... and by the way... as I was lay in bed this morning listening to Imus In The Morning prior to getting up... Don Imus called the Pope a Nazi.

Will he be fired? No. I doubt it. Indeed I wonder if it'll even become an issue... even get noted by the mainstream media.

Folks... we're losing our country in so many ways. I swear I can't decide what's worth, the ongoing economic decline of the United States or the ongoing cultural decline of the United States.

Now THIS makes me smile!
