…but didn’t the unarmed women who died at the hands of their husbands have their voices raised in pain, desperation and abject fear?
The only sound an abuser of women should hear is the sudden impact of a piece of lead traveling near or over the speed of sound impacting dead center in their chest, head or testicles. Ladies Choice.
Fuck these flag-waving, God-loving psychopaths. It’s time for the rest of the world to get a great, big army together and attack the US. We need boots on the ground on the White House lawns. If they can’t look after their own economy, we need to invade and look after it for them. So let’s fucking get them!

Oscar Rickett, the author of that piece, looks all of 16 years old and must spend an inordinate amount of time with his XBox playing war games. He interviews Dylan Lehrke who is a Jane’s Armed Forces Analyst. The answer does not make Oscar happy….but that usually happens when Real Life comes crashing down on your juvenile fantasies.
“However, one still does not conquer the soil. So we arrive at the same conclusion: as the world military balance stands today, even in the unlikely case that the entire world aligns against them, the United States could not be conquered. It can only be defeated. I suspect you had hoped for a more Red Dawn-type possibility but I can’t offer one without stretching reality beyond the point of reason. We would have to bring in pure science fiction to make it feasible.
BTW, Mr. Lehrke did not take in consideration that half the small arms in the world are in the hands of US Citizens. So even if the managed to ship everybody and their mother over here for an invasion, the ratio would be 1:1. Military doctrine long knows that you other need a VERY powerful armed forces working in perfect synchronicity and total surprise or you better have a 7:1 or a 10:1 ratio in your favor to win the ground fights against entrenched enemies.
So basically, every gun owner would only have to shoot once at a funky uniform or a blue helmet.

Leave to the Iranians to do a synchronized mass gun sweep of their Police Counter-Terror Special (short bus?) Forces.

A high school in Indiana decided recently to ban the classic country song “Rocky Top” from football games because its references to “moonshine” are supposedly “politically incorrect,” as WNDU.com puts it.
Indiana High School Bans Classic Country Song at Games Because It’s…Politically Incorrect?
“We have a hard time seeing how we can continue to let our whole school body, student body celebrate to a song that’s about alcohol,” said Plymouth School Superintendent Dan Tyree, who is responsible for the ban.
They have an issue with the third verse that goes:
Once two strangers climbed on rocky top,
Lookin’ for a moonshine still.
Strangers ain’t come back from rocky top,
Guess they never will.
We can tell that the School Superintendent banned the song without even looking at the lyrics.
“Somebody brought it up to me a couple of weeks ago,” Tyree told Fox 28, “and said ‘you guys celebrate to Rocky Top after every touchdown and the song talks about going into the hills and living the good life and drinking moonshine.’”
I might be a tad off, but I think the third verse refers to the popping of two Revenooers and not just two guys taking a leisure stroll in the woods and sipping some after-market corn mash. Now, if you tell me that you want the song banned because it celebrates the disappearance of two Revenooers….OK, and we go now to the Weather report.
And this was the first time I heard the song…incomplete but is still my favorite. It has the “offending” verse in it.
Rocky top, you’ll always be
Home sweet home to me.
Good ole rocky top,
Rocky top Tennessee, rocky top Tennessee.
Once two strangers climbed on rocky top,
Lookin’ for a moonshine still.
Strangers ain’t come back from rocky top,
Guess they never will.
Corn won’t grow at all on rocky top,
Dirt’s too rocky by far.
That’s why all the folks on rocky top
Get their corn from a jar.
Rocky top, you’ll always be
Home sweet home to me.
Good ole rocky top,
Rocky top Tennessee, rocky top Tennessee.
If you come to this place because you feel the urgent need to get insulted and/or be outraged, rest assured I will be happy to fulfill your request.
That is all. Carry on.
