New from Michael Yon

2007-05-02T22:28:00.000-06:00

There is a new dispatch from Michael Yon up at his online magazine.

Desires of the Human Heart, Part II

Go read it all. His reporting has shaped my attitudes about the US efforts in Iraq. We owe the man our support. Hit his tip jar if you can. Support real reporting from the war zone not just posting stories from the Green Zone and making believe you are a war correspondent like most of the MSM do.

Thanks, Michael, you do a man's job.

MSM (Leftist) Journalistic Integrity

2007-04-28T00:21:00.000-06:00

Referring to Leftist journalistic integrity or lack of it, truthfully:

We are approaching one of the most contentious presidential elections in my
memory. There is no incumbent. There is no vice-president trying to move up. The
field is wide open and the leftist media is determined that the White House
shall be put into the hands of a liberal Democrat this time around -- preferably
Hillary Rodham -- and they're not going to let such trite matters as truth and
journalistic ethics get in their way.

Wow, simply stunning statement and so true. I found this at The Cigar Intelligence Agency. That has got to smart. Pimp slap of high quality.

The Latest Recipe for a Totalitarian US

2007-04-27T23:56:00.000-06:00

This idiot is just too stupid too be believed.

From the Toledo Blade. (As in gay maybe?)

Dan Simpson is a former diplomat from Foggy Bottom I presume?

Go on over to Misha's for the full fisking. He is brilliant on this one.

Personally I would believe that when this type of legislation should be passed there would only be a few alternatives:

Armed insurrection
Hide the good guns in backyard gun vaults (recipe to follow soon)
Secession from the Union

F.E.T.E.

Hate Incident in Hamnation

2007-04-20T00:05:00.000-06:00

Some of the comments are an outright scream! Young Achmed was quoted as saying, "I was truly offended and scarred for life by that ham sandwich being there! [burp!]"

Vile Commies

2007-04-19T23:26:00.000-06:00

Sherwood Ross is a vile and disgusting example of a lower life form. This idiot does not even deserve the designation of human. He isn't.

Calling this guy names doesn't get it. There is just no way to justify what he has to say. Comparing VTI to Iraq is low.

I Am John Doe

2007-04-04T23:46:00.000-06:00

From Michelle Malkins site. This should become a movement. Also we all need to sign up for those concealed carry classes. Be prepared.

Dear Muslim Terrorist Plotter/Planner/Funder/Enabler/Apologist,

You do not know me. But I am on the lookout for you. You are my enemy. And I am yours.

I am John Doe.

I am traveling on your plane. I am riding on your train. I am at your bus stop. I am on your street. I am in your subway car. I am on your lift.

I am your neighbor. I am your customer. I am your classmate. I am your boss.

I am John Doe.

I will never forget the example of the passengers of United Airlines Flight 93 who refused to sit back on 9/11 and let themselves be murdered in the name of Islam without a fight.

I will never forget the passengers and crew members who tackled al Qaeda shoe-bomber Richard Reid on American Airlines Flight 63 before he had a chance to blow up the plane over the Atlantic Ocean.

I will never forget the alertness of actor James Woods, who notified a stewardess that several Arab men sitting in his first-class cabin on an August 2001 flight were behaving strangely. The men turned out to be 9/11 hijackers on a test run.

I will act when homeland security officials ask me to “report suspicious activity.”

I will embrace my local police department’s admonition: “If you see something, say something.”

I am John Doe.

I will protest your Jew-hating, America-bashing “scholars.”

I will petition against your hate-mongering mosque leaders.

I will raise my voice against your subjugation of women and religious minorities.

I will challenge your attempts to indoctrinate my children in our schools.

I will combat your violent propaganda on the Internet.

I am John Doe.

I will support law enforcement initiatives to spy on your operatives, cut off your funding, and disrupt your murderous conspiracies.

I will oppose all attempts to undermine our borders and immigration laws.

I will resist the imposition of sharia principles and sharia law in my taxi cab, my restaurant, my community pool, the halls of Congress, our national monuments, the radio and television airwaves, and all public spaces.

I will not be censored in the name of tolerance.

I will not be cowed by your Beltway lobbying groups in moderate clothing. I will not cringe when you shriek about “profiling” or “Islamophobia.”

I will put my family’s safety above sensitivity. I will put my country above multiculturalism.

I will not submit to your will. I will not be intimidated.

I am John Doe.

Pass it on.

In Search of the Hobo

The First Post

I took this pen name as a joke - Robohobo. It is a play on words that described the way I made a living, indirectly and the extensive travel around the world I did at that time. In reading the snippet I found from a quick Google search that is in the site header, it was perhaps prescient.

In the modern (post-modern?) world of political blogs, it is easy to 'bum' around and take a bite of many different points of view. I hope to continue that. Publish some links to things that resonate with me. Maybe put some of my better photos up for all to see. Explore and see if I have a voice like so many I have come to admire in the world of blogs.

I am one of those dread 'neo-cons'. The events of 9-11 stirred me to do some scholarship on the background of those who wrought such destruction on that day. I was still of the "kumbaya, why can't we all get along, they just need some understanding" mindset. That journey and search for the why's and wherefore's took me to Steven Den Beste, Bill Whittle, Wretchard and Robert Spencer. That is a short list of what I read nightly. I will be adding to the sidebar link list so you can have a reference point.

Thanks,
The Hobo
