Way to go US Navy! Navy 3, Pirates 0!

Posted by admin on Apr 13, 2009 in News Rants, Travel Rants

I applaud the US use of force to rescue the captain of the hijacked Maersk Alabama.  Finally, our president did something I approve of.

We cannot and should not negotiate with pirates or terrorists, which in my opinion, are the same thing.  We tried peaceful means of rescuing the captain, but the pirates would not have any of it.  If they had cooperated, the captain would still be safe and the pirates would be alive.  They had a choice and they chose poorly.

Of course, the liberal media is now questioning the wisdom of killing three pirates to rescue an American, saying that it will probably escalate the situation.  That will most likely happen, but it should not deter us from protecting American citizens engaged in legal business activities anywhere in the world.

Perhaps we should randomly sequester US Military aboard US-flagged vessels to repel pirates seeking to line their pockets with ransom.  Then, they would begin to ask themselves if the next vessel is so armed or not and if it is really worth taking the chance.

Once upon a time, people would see the American flag and know it was unwise to cross us.  We need to return to that time.  Maybe if we keep up the heat, pirates will see American-flagged vessels as taboo, not to be touched.

Please support the men and women of our military.  Once again – Way to Go USN!  USA – USA – USA!

When is a man really a woman?

Posted by admin on Nov 14, 2008 in News Rants

It was all over the news about the pregnant “man”. But, after all the hype, it was revealed that the man was not a man at all, but a very confused woman. Of course, the media refer to her as a him, but in my way of thinking, if you were female until you were 20, then decided to be male, but keep your female reproductive organs, you are female.

Now, (s)he is pregnant again. It seems to me that if one wants is born with the ability to birth children, and wants to be able to birth children, you wouldn’t want to change to a man. It makes me think that this was all done for publicity. I wonder how confusing it will be if their children try to explain that ‘daddy’ gave birth to them.
