I’m beginning to like country music more and more.
Kini on November 27, 2007 at 10:12 PM
Ain’t nuthin’ better than good ol’ fashioned ass whoopin’ to set things right.
Thank You Trace.
commonsensehoosier on November 27, 2007 at 11:05 PM
Music and cartoons are potent weapons. Cox&Forkum RIP. Trace Adkins F**K YEAH!
RushBaby on November 27, 2007 at 11:09 PM
We? We?
LOL.
Is he a member of the Army’s famed 82nd Airborne Fighting Guitarists or what?
MB4 on November 27, 2007 at 11:11 PM
He openly supports our troops 100%, so he has far more right to say “we” than any Dem I can think of.
Patrick S on November 27, 2007 at 11:17 PM
Lets get cracking.
BL@KBIRD on November 27, 2007 at 11:21 PM
Sure, but when Ann Coulter says it…
thedecider on November 27, 2007 at 11:21 PM
I agree, but when a lib singer says the opposite we tell him to shut up and sing. As a celeb, if you wanna support the war effort, get with the USO and sing for our Soldiers.
Tony737 on November 27, 2007 at 11:25 PM
You have a different idea than I do about “supports our troops 100%”.
Do not assume that are troops are biting at the bit to go to war with Pakistan just because some guitarist will cheer lead from over here their “thumping their (butt)” over there.
MB4 on November 27, 2007 at 11:28 PM
BTW, Allah. Thanks for posting during the holidays. I checked in a couple of times to catch up over the long weekend and appreciated that you were here working your fingers to the bone.

A hope for peace
Kini on November 27, 2007 at 11:36 PM
Somehow some who have never been to war seem to have some blahsay “thump (butt)” romanticized view of it.
Adkins sounds like a characture of one of them.
Frankly, he just sounds silly.
MB4 on November 27, 2007 at 11:37 PM
I’ve always believed in the philosophy of KISSing (Keep It Simple Stupid).
And simple truth is good, no matter who says it.
WildBillK on November 27, 2007 at 11:37 PM
MB4,
all of us HA readers really appreciate the hard work you do, posting comments on every topic and all, and we all (I’m sure I speak for everyone) appreciate the unique take on conservativism that you seem to have- namely: We should all hide under the bed and read Pat Buchanan.
billy on November 27, 2007 at 11:40 PM
MB4 seems to be using a version of the chickenawk arguement, in that Trace Adkins isn’t entitled to an opinion in military matters because he isn’t in the military.
Good thing America’s military is ultimately controlled by the civilian citizens, in that “we” get to elect the commander in chief.
OneEyedJack on November 27, 2007 at 11:51 PM
Plus which, I imagine he has provided quite a lot tax dollars to help make it possible for us to have fighting forces. “We” is absolutely right.
mikeyboss on November 27, 2007 at 11:53 PM
I reckon every group has its UFO (Unemployed, Funny, and Opinionated).
RushBaby on November 27, 2007 at 11:55 PM
Bleh, I can’t stand people who use the argument “if you haven’t been in combat, blah, blah, blah…”
Funny thing – none of the guys I ever served with would ever say that. I wouldn’t either. I guess people would be happier if we were ruled by a military junta.
These days any support is welcome, and anyone who plays the military absolute moral authority card is probably a pogue.
reaganaut on November 28, 2007 at 12:04 AM
I don’t think that anyone should hide under the bed.
I didn’t, so why would I want others to?
The guy could at least put together a group, with lots of hot babes, troops like that, and get his guitar over there instead of just talking smack over here.
MB4 on November 28, 2007 at 12:11 AM
You are about 3000 mils out.
MB4 on November 28, 2007 at 12:13 AM
A damned good one today. Smart and pithy.
Now if we could get the gubmint on board we’d be doing somethin’.
thegreatbeast on November 28, 2007 at 12:16 AM
Now, now, our friend MB4 is still working, at least some of the time. He’s just quick, wity, can write, drink, smoke and chew
gumus, all at the same time.Entelechy on November 28, 2007 at 12:18 AM
So what do you suggest?
Giving Bill Gates the Medal of Honor Deluxe?
Barbra Streisand?
John Kerry? Or maybe I should say his wife. Yup, I should probably say Theresa.
Teddy “The Swimmer” Kennedy?
John Edwards?

Subsunk on November 28, 2007 at 12:25 AM
I see MB4, you want RushBaby, and self, to answer to each word I wrote about you – such a tease – you are funny. I’ll stand by you, much to the chagrin of some, because you make me laugh tears, sometimes. One of us is crazier than the other but we understand.
Entelechy on November 28, 2007 at 12:26 AM
Subsunk Them There’s Fightin’ Words *Salutes*
RushBaby on November 28, 2007 at 12:30 AM
If only you knew how much I love speed, and how many tickets I’ve accummulated over the years. Peers call me Pirnelli Jones.
Subsunk, MB4 has served too. Don’t take him seriously all the time. He loves to goof around.
Btw, I’ll attend a submariners club dinner soon. Looking forward very much. Just an honorary member. Regards,
Entelechy on November 28, 2007 at 12:31 AM
You have been told you will inherit a Red Corvette. And you understand.
RushBaby on November 28, 2007 at 12:32 AM
Wouldn’t be prudent.
MB4 on November 28, 2007 at 12:34 AM
Did you put that together?
If so, well then,
Bravo, my friend, Bra. Vo.
billy on November 28, 2007 at 12:39 AM
Dude, thanks for dropping that link! That’s great.
Spirit of 1776 on November 28, 2007 at 12:43 AM
You’re right. You have a totally different idea about what supporting the troops really means. We’d actually prefer you just quietly allow us to do our jobs and to eliminate anyone our leadership tells us needs to be eliminated from God’s green Earth (whether they are in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, or your backyard). All your complaining to the contrary, our jobs would be easier, our missions would be over quicker, in less deadly fashion, and with a helluva lot less recriminations if the so-called “American Press” would try to tell the Truth, support the principles and actions required of Democratic people throughout the world. Then we could actually pack up our bases and really go home.
Then Lefties can quit crying because their Dhimmicratic candidates aren’t appearing macho or smart enough to beat Rethuglican candidates (and folks like Trace Adkins) who actually have American lives and American interests first and foremost on their minds, instead of how a Dhimmicrat can get elected so they can
1) tax the rest of us till we are in the poorhouse,
2) take away our rights to speak and think as we want to, and give those rights to folks who weren’t born here, haven’t elected to become American citizens themselves, and insist on taking a job here without paying their share of taxes and health insurance that the rest of us have legally and honorably chosen to do, and then
3) cry discrimination and demand restitution from a corporation or government which will then pay them with our money or by raising prices on the rest of us, when no discrimination exists,
and 4) insists that it is fine to be afraid of crazy fundamentalist Christians who only want the rest of us to convert or be shamed by them because they tell us “we won’t go to heaven”, but it is xenophobic and somehow immoral, fattening, and unAmerican to be wary and suspect of Muslims who only want the rest of us to convert or DIE!
Again, why don’t you go piss up a rope?
Subsunk out.
Subsunk on November 28, 2007 at 12:45 AM
Huh. Looks like, except for billy & spirit, all my interlocutors have “left the building”.
RushBaby on November 28, 2007 at 12:46 AM
Islamic terrorist have announced that their goal is to kill us all (some of the “moderates” might graciously allow a few of us to be slaves).
So what is the point in negotiating? Do you consider proposing that they compromise and only kill half of us “enlightened diplomacy”?
Nope…cracking skulls is the answer.
landlines on November 28, 2007 at 12:48 AM
No, RushBaby, we’re here.
Subsunk, please see my comment at 12:31 AM
Entelechy on November 28, 2007 at 12:50 AM
One less, I’m cashing out:) Have yourself a good evenin’

You have made me lose my composure, but bless Hot Air, once again.
RushBaby on November 28, 2007 at 12:54 AM
Not addressed just to you landlines – for those who’ve read carefully, MB4 wants Islamofascist skulls crushed really good, and as many as there are.
Entelechy on November 28, 2007 at 12:56 AM
I always look forward to reading you, Spirit. Until tomorrow.

Let’s keep things in perspective: All the pixels here have been spilt in response to a snippet of a quote from a songwriter.
and MB4,
keep posting, sometimes you’re funny as hell.
billy on November 28, 2007 at 1:06 AM
I’m not stopping you. Have at it. Don’t forget to write.
Why don’t you grow up.
MB4 on November 28, 2007 at 1:07 AM
I said sometimes.
billy on November 28, 2007 at 1:10 AM
Look in the refrigerator. It may not be there, but there may be a beer or two in the back. It’s worth a try.
MB4 on November 28, 2007 at 1:10 AM
I, or rather the Lord, beseech you as Christ’s heralds to publish this everywhere and to persuade all people of whatever rank, foot-soldiers and knights, poor and rich, to carry aid promptly to those Christians and to destroy that vile race from the lands of our friends. I say this to those who are present, it is meant also for those who are absent.
Moreover, Christ commands it.
- Pope Urban II
MB4 on November 28, 2007 at 1:12 AM
You don’t support crushing Islamofascist skulls on one hand and then claim a singer whose quote of the day says the same thing is simply an addlepated wannabe who needs to join up and pick up a gun, instead of being one of “a member of the Army’s famed 82nd Airborne Fighting Guitarists or what? – MB4″
The words are incongruent and defeat the purpose of claiming to support the War on Terror or Terrorists wherever and whenever it takes us. And there are entirely too few artists who support the War as it is. Country music has more than their fair share of them because they have always supported America first. As if country fans will have anything to do with the Dixie Chicks again.
I’m tired of folks telling me that we can’t kill our way to Victory in this war, and then claim that it was OK for Saddam to do so because “things were more peaceful under Saddam”. It is always peaceful in a tomb. Just because we are more humane than our enemies doesn’t mean we are weak. If we wanted to or were ordered to, America could crush any and all opposition under the most ruthless warfighting capabilities in the world. Bar none. And if you think that wouldn’t strike fear into our enemies hearts and demoralize them at least as much as Saddam did, you are stupid in the extreme.
It is because we CHOOSE to be humane that this war demands casualties of our soldiers, and that they continue to fight for our Freedom and for Peace throughout the world. They recognize the threat and oppose it with their entire force of will. And that is the one weapon we have which can be nullified by our enemies through propaganda, and the use of our own press against us.
Our soldiers do their jobs so determinedly and with such dedication so that we can one day stop fighting. When our enemies are crushed or “converted” to peaceful allies.
You want Peace? Demand Victory.
Subsunk
Entelechy,
Glad you feel the need for speed. A red Corvette would be a wonderful start. As for the honorary induction, I hope it won’t be too wet an induction, merely a liquored up and satisfying occasion for you, Entelechy

Well she’s all we’d ever want,
She’s the kind they’d like to flaunt and take to blogs.
Well she always keeps us in our place.
She’s got style, she’s got grace, She’s a winner.
She’s a Lady. Whoa whoa whoa, She’s a Lady.
Talkin’ about that little lady, and the lady is ours.

MB4 on November 28, 2007 at 1:23 AM
Subsunk, while I still love speed, I gave up racing. There is a bit of hope and a bit of truth to “with age comes wisdom”. Though, I must admit, put a powerfull engine in front of me and I want to test it to its fullest capacity. It comes from not having cruised in my youth, not having had a car. I used a phone for the first time ever when I was 19.
The Corvette is not for me, it’s something MB4 likes. He just twisted the write-up on the peacemakers. Unless he’ll will it to me :)
Subsunk, MB4 is more with you than you give him credit tonight. He loves some controversy but is not a troll.
I’m already a member of the submarine club, and I don’t like to drink. 2-3 glasses of wine a year, at best. But I do love you, the submariners, past and present, and will always support you and your missions. It will be a Christmas dinner. With best regards,

RushBaby on November 28, 2007 at 1:30 AM
Bryan or AllahP, if you read this after you get up, well, it’s your quote of the day. All the heavy blogwork ahead of you: just relax the QOD is covered.
billy on November 28, 2007 at 1:33 AM
Huh?
MB4 on November 28, 2007 at 1:33 AM
No, no RushBaby, Pope Urban II started the First Crusade. We need to keep perspective and focus on fighting Islamofascism, and never confuse it with the religion in general. In great part they are still fighting the crusaders. We should know better, no matter what the impulses. But MB4 wasn’t inappropriate to me. He just needs to reign in the scope to today’s reality of fighting terrorism, no matter how unadvanced in their thinking the other side still is, often, and how stuck in another century of long ago.
Entelechy on November 28, 2007 at 1:36 AM

We are all but chickenhawks compared to you.
billy on November 28, 2007 at 1:38 AM
Me thinks that RushBaby may have found more than just one or two beers in the fridge when he was looking there for his composure.
MB4 on November 28, 2007 at 1:40 AM
Exactly. We are expected to worship your every quote, but you, your mb4ship, are not expected to be sensitive to the nuances of the handful of friends you have here.
Which reminds me of how country music is such a profound influence on my life!
RushBaby on November 28, 2007 at 1:40 AM
Never said that.
I never draw first blood.
MB4 on November 28, 2007 at 1:41 AM
RushBaby, my friend, please read my comment of 1:36 AM We’re all good. Now, all shake hands, because, MB4 having dedicated an entire ‘lady’ song to me (blushes), I have to work even harder to keep the peace at HA. Still blushing, thank you MB4.
Entelechy on November 28, 2007 at 1:44 AM
Dude.
“Our” side consists of the global warming crowd. They believe the Earth shall be consumed in a lake of fire if we don’t mend our wicked ways. Can we really assume the rational high ground here?
billy on November 28, 2007 at 1:45 AM
Huh?
Entelechy seems to be the only one here who versteht nuance.
MB4 on November 28, 2007 at 1:45 AM

Command post, after Tet, war winding down.
RushBaby on November 28, 2007 at 1:48 AM
And the High Goracle spoke all these words, saying: I am the Goracle your Oracle.
ONE: You shall have no other Oracles before Me, least thou shall be consumed in a lake of fire .
TWO: You shall not make for yourself any carbon images–any likeness of anything carbon that is in heaven above, or of anything carbon that is in the earth beneath, or anything carbon that is in the water under the earth.
THREE: You shall not ever take the name of the Goracle your Oracle in vain.
FOUR: Remember my birthday, and keep it carbon free unless you have credits that you bought from me.
FIVE: Honor me instead of your father and your mother especially if they don’t believe in global warming.
SIX: You shall not ever malign me or else you be apostates.
SEVEN: You shall not commit adultery with my wife, but I can with your wife.
EIGHT: You shall not ever steal my carbon credits.
NINE: You shall not raise any challenges to the most holy doctrine of global warming.
TEN: You shall not covet any of my mansions; you shall not covet my private jets, nor my SUV’s, nor my pizza, nor my Krispe Kreame dounuts, nor my Biggie Fries, nor my hot fudge sundaes.
MB4 on November 28, 2007 at 1:50 AM
I was out in the “boonies”, but I was winding down.
MB4 on November 28, 2007 at 1:51 AM
Ok.
Okaaaayyy.
billy on November 28, 2007 at 1:52 AM
MB4, RushBaby understands nuance very well. If only you knew yet how well. Some day you’ll find out. It’s just late and the thread got a bit confusing.
The main thing is that we’re still free, we can pontificate, that our soldiers keep us so, that country singers have more brains than Barbra Streisand.
On such a sober note, and on a lighter one, I bid you all good night because I have to get up really early and conquer the beast, which is LA, tomorrow. Responsibilities call.

Subsunk on November 28 at 1:16AM.
Subsunk: I salute you,and Amen,you are absolutely correct,
if hostilities went full blown,America has at it’s displosal a full array of weapons,as you know the latest
conversion is the nuclear warhead to a conventional warhead
on the ballistic submarines to strike anywhere in the world
within 1/2-1 hr.
With America’s arsenal,and yes Thank-G!d,if this was
the theatre of World War Two,the War on Terror would be
over.

canopfor on November 28, 2007 at 2:03 AM
The war is going extremely well. You’d never know it from the defeatist surrender talk of the cut and run surrender monkey democrats and their fifth-columnist uber left-wing media allies, but the fact is that the Iraq War has been and is a roaring success by every meaningful standard. I often listen to a radio program to which active-duty service personnel frequently call in, and I can tell you that the optimism, confidence and morale that I hear in their voices truly is sky high.
The only one recurring sour note comes from the realization that if not for the aid and comfort provided to the Al-Qaeda terrorists in Iraq by the America-hating liberals and democrats in this country, our boys job would likely at this point be all but finished, ready to hand things off to the Iraqi army, the Iraqi police and the Iraqi government, and all set to board those ships and planes for their eagerly awaited trip home.
When I think of the needless deaths and suffering our boys have had to endure as a direct result of the machinations of the democrats who want to surrender just as soon as they can, it is very, very difficult for me to contain the intense anger and outrage I feel. In fact, I’m all set to volunteer as an interrogator at Guantanamo – just so long as I’m permitted to take a couple of plane loads of democrats down there with me.
I think we should just trust our wonderful President in absolutely every decision that he makes and we should just support that.

Imprint of another universe?
IN AUGUST, radio astronomers announced that they had found an enormous hole in the universe. Nearly a billion light years across, the void lies in the constellation Eridanus and has far fewer stars, gas and galaxies than usual. It is bigger than anyone imagined possible and is beyond the present understanding of cosmology. What could cause such a gaping hole? One team of physicists has a breathtaking explanation: “It is the unmistakable imprint of another universe beyond the edge of our own,” says Laura Mersini-Houghton of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
It is a staggering claim. If Mersini-Houghton’s team is right, the giant void is the first experimental evidence for another universe.
Would this universe have it’s own God?

US Navy, several (4) submarines as crew, built one from scratch, two submarine squadrons as staff, COMSUBPAC Staff, and Office of Secretary of Defense as a Counterdrug wienie (hey, the OSD had over 1000 military officers assigned on the staff, so a Counterdrug wienie would be one of many unimportant billets which just had to be filled, and that was just how I filled it — unimportantly. But finding out just how professional the military is compared to politicians and political appointees was eye opening). 1980-2001. Retired as Commander.
USS Tautog, USS Francis Scott Key, USS Hartford, USS Rhode Island, Comsubron 3, Comsubron 20, Comsubpac staffs, OSD
Been to the North Pole twice and WestPac once.
Any other questions?

Subsunk on November 28, 2007 at 8:44 AM
You sure didn’t sound mature enough to be a Commander.
In the Navy, they get steak, caviar and whipped cream cake
They have fancy cooks who know what cooking means
In the Army, we get mess, and it really is a mess
Oh, the Navy gets the gravy, but the Army gets the beans
(beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans)
Send a salami, to your boy in the Army
Yes, the Navy gets the gravy, but the Army gets the beans
(beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans
beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans)
Nothing but beans
Navy service is ideal, printed menus ev’ry meal
And they decorate your plate with parsley greens
In the Army, we get chow that you wouldn’t feed a Chow
Oh, the Navy gets the gravy, but the Army gets the
(beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans)
Beautiful beans, gorgeous beans, succulent beans
Send a baloney, `cause I’m skinny and boney
Yes, the Navy gets the gravy, but the Army gets the
(beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans nothing but beans)
Loving those beans, loving those beans, liking those beans
Know what I mean, mammy, I love you
Nothing but beans

For you State Dept wienies out there reading this. Undermining US policy is a dangerous way to keep your country safe, and makes soldiers grow to resent your mealy mouthed platitudes ever more. Don’t piss ‘em off. They have guns! Next time you want to talk to the press, KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT!

Just my humble opinion and probably because of the way we were treated when we came back from Vietnam…… I’d be happy to have Trace Adkins say “we”. I can, in good conscience and the same breath, tell lefties to shut up… doesn’t bother me a bit. But that’s just MY opinion.
MNDavenotPC on November 28, 2007 at 4:15 PM
MB4,
Right. Like all your Commanding Officerss were the type who said “we should just be nice to the VC and the NVs. They’ll leave us alone.” Perhaps your “maturity” has gotten in the way of you actually trying to get something done for a change, Pops. My stepfather and Mother have even been brainwashed enough to think the War in Iraq is going horribly. And they survived the Great Depression, and World War II where hundreds of thousands starved, and hundreds of thousands died in combat, the latter just in the American Armed Forces. Comparisons of that type make the comparator look stupid or senile. Which are you?
The loss of 4000 brave Men in 4 years notwithstanding, the War to change 1.4 BILLION Muslims’ attitudes, and just over 200 million of those attitudes absolutely insistent that American citizens are fair game for slaughter anytime, anywhere, would statistically seem to be going pretty well. But perhaps you don’t truly understand the long odds faced by 1.4 million American servicemen and women to change that Muslim World and create something better from their efforts. If it was easy, it would be the Girl Scouts.
If I don’t sound “mature”, perhaps it is just because I don’t suffer failure gladly. So why should you, Old Man?

Thanks for quoting the song my First Sergeant Father sang to me when I was a kid. I heard that long before you enlisted. And on my Fathers worst day he would never accept Defeat as you seem to have. “Mature”? My old man would have made my rants look like child’s play, and would end up making you feel so small you’d have to look up to keep the ants from pissing on you.
Perhaps I’d rather be “immature” than accept Defeat. Count me among the ranks of Nelson, Wellington, Eisenhower, Patton, Grant, and Travis who would rather accept the cost of Victory than accept the consequences of Defeat to my country.
Subsunk out.
