The Emperor show his displeasure to those who would stop torture:

On March 19th, a group of anti-war protesters will surround the IRS building to mark the 5th anniversary of the massive injustice that is the invasion and ongoing occupation of Iraq. The objective is some good old-fashioned, non-violent civil disruption.

(Though if they really want to annoy the military-industrial complex at its financial source, they should consider a blockade of this building, too.)

Thanks to Francois Tremblay for the tip.

Showing pics of the kids- back home and safe. Too bad these young’ns are in the line of fire:

“It was a time of great exulting and excitement. The country was up in arms, the war was on, in every breast burned the holy fire of patriotism; the drums were beating, the bands playing, the toy pistols popping, the bunched firecrackers hissing and sputtering; on every hand and far down the receding and fading spread of roofs and balconies a fluttering wilderness of flags flashed in the sun…..”

Grillin’ for Peace. There‘s no time for war when you‘re busy feedin‘ your face- or helping others to do the same:

Queen Hillary is all ears. Do you think she would listen to those who just want to be left alone?

The innate wisdom of a child. Voting booths are no place to be:

Kiddie Qaeda? Or just more US propaganda?

Happy Pearl Harbor Day, everybody!

After all, if it wasn’t for that Jap-attack snapping this “isolationist” country from its slumber, “We” would never have transformed into the Mighty American Empire, and who then would have protected “Us” from not only the Japs, but the Russkies, the Chinks, the Koreans and all other assorted Commie-Gooks, the Mexican landscapers, and most importantly, the Islamo-Nazis????

Yes, it’s quite sad that a few thousand individuals had to die on that fateful day, but isn’t that a small price to pay in exchange for a permanent cocoon of complete security??? It is due to their glorious sacrifice that today we are all free to play video games, sing along with Don’t Forget the Lyrics! and just generally have a good time partying with our “capitalist” system.

God Bliss America!!!

I received in my e-mail this morning some correspondence from a family member whose mind is clearly in thrall to Throne and Altar.

The e-mail was forwarded to him by someone whom I can only imagine is himself some kind of jackboot-licking Amero-Fascist. Here’s the complete text in all its power-loving, state-worshipping glory:
