The More Things Change, The More They Stay The Same

This cartoon appeared in Life magazine in 1918. It’s sometimes easy to forget that the surrendercrats* have been with us for a long, long time. They were with us in the Civil War, they were with us during the American Revolution. Hell, if you watch 300, you’ll see they were even around during the time of the ancient Greeks. Defeatism is an easy fall-back position for people who suck. When losing is all you know how to do, it’s kind of hard to visualize an alternative strategy.

*Note that I’m not specifically referring to the Democrats here, although they do tend to make up the majority of the modern Surrendercrat Party.

Edwards Returns To 2004 Campaign Theme

Democrat Presidential candidate John Edwards has returned to his 2004 campaign theme of "Two Americas."

Because it worked so well the first time around.

Global Cooling Now?

I’m not even going to make any jokes about this article. Why? Because I take this one seriously. Its very evidence based. There’s no hysteria, no moralistic self-flagellation, and no arguments that this potential problem requires that we switch over to a socialist, command and control economy ruled by Algore.

Don’t Let The Door Hit You In The Ass On The Way Out”

In a not so stunning development, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has left the Republican Party, switching his political tag to “Unaffiliated”. Some are seeing this as an attempt to position himself for an independent (translation: doomed) run at the presidency in 2008, although many concede that this may be simply the first move in a gradual shift over to the Democrat Party, a move that would leave the average IQ of both the Republican and Democrat Parties significantly higher.

Thompson Takes The Lead

In news that is stunning to literally no one (except maybe the 1 or 2 percent who are pulling for Ron Paul), Former Senator Fred Thompson has pulled ahead of Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani in the latest Rasmussen polls, leading 28% to 27%. Although caution should be taken with such a narrow lead, it is telling that Thompson can pull ahead of Giuliani at all, considering he hasn’t even officially announced yet. Filling out the top four are McCain and Romney with 10% each, both of who should probably just pack it in at this point.

When Hamas and Fatah go to war, who wins?

You. The viewing Audience....
You gotta love how the Middle East's version of the Crips and the Bloods decided to go to war with each other to control a putrid, jew-baiting barely-there people.

Edwards Wants Probe of High Salon Prices

Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards says a wave of mergers in the cosmetology industry should be investigated by the Justice Department to see what impact they have had on soaring hair-styling prices.

During a campaign stop in Silicon Valley Thursday, Edwards planned to berate the beauty industry for "anticompetitive actions" and outline a make-over plan he says would reduce oily hair "and get us on a path to be virtually dandruff-free within a generation."

YES!!

He's going to do it! He's really going to do it! Finally, I have a candidate that I can get behind without having to hold my nose! I can already feel myself starting to get interested in politics again.

UPDATE:
Fred Thompson has officially quit Law & Order

We’re Back….

And so is Bill Whittle, with another of his stunningly brilliant two-part essays. Only this time, he’s released both parts simultaneously, so no waiting for the finale. You can tell it’s a great piece because it actually motivated me to get off my lazy ass and post something for a change.

Official Policy Statement

It is the avowed and official policy of Castro Burn In Hell that we will NOT link to The Daily Kos, the Democratic Underground, or The Huffington Post (except to entries by Greg Gutfield). There are just way too many strange and unnatural mental illnesses on the loose at those places, and we do not wish to risk contamination, either of ourselves, or of our two or three readers.

Democrat Operatives Vie To Commit Suicide

Democrat operatives are busy biting off more than they can possibly chew in Nashville this week, as they attempt to gather dirt on future Presidential candidate Fred Thompson. The operatives, who are awaiting identification by next of kin, have been searching through county records, primarily property records, in a desperate bid to defeat the future President. Their quarry, however, is not to be taken lightly. Fred Thompson once caused an opponent’s head to actually explode during a debate, just by glaring at him. Although it is a myth that Thompson invented the Thompson Sub-Machinegun, also known as the Tommy Gun, it is a documented fact that Thompson can wield a Tommy Gun in each hand and maintain a constant 1”MOA level of accuracy with each weapon, even while firing full auto.

Media Warning

In the off chance that anyone from the mainstream media happens to come to this site for some unknown reason, I thought it would be best to give them a heads up of sorts: It is now the end of April, which means that, as we here in the northern hemisphere approach summer, it will begin to get warmer outside. In fact, in a couple of months, it may even get downright hot. I just wanted to warn you all ahead of time so that you weren’t blindsided by it again, and thrown into a panic that the world is going to end or something. It does this every year about this time. It’s a cyclical pattern, almost seasonal, one might say. So just relax, take another Zoloft, and go back to making up stories about the President.

No Liberals Allowed

For anyone who wondered what I could have been thinking when I stated in my post about my new planet why it’s impossible to maintain a free, democratic, republic as envisioned by our founder fathers with liberals around, I would direct you to this post over at Ace of Spades. It’s an analysis of an article by a lefty former US diplomat on how he would deal with “The Gun Owner Menace.” Apparently, some liberals will accept anything, even a fascist police-state, in order to get what they want politically.

UPDATE: Iowahawk is all over this, too, and he's dead on target, as usual.

Thinking Ahead

While everyone is oohing and ahhing over the discovery of a planet outside our solar system that may be capable of supporting life, I would just like to take this opportunity to say…

DIBBS!

That’s right, read it and weep, suckers, it’s all mine now. I’ve got plans for it, too.

First: no Liberals. We’re going to have a free democratic-republic on my new planet, just like the founding fathers of this country envisioned, and, let’s face it, you just can’t have that with Liberals around.

Second, no Muslims. I know this sounds harsh, but we have to face facts here. There are a tremendous number of Muslims who would like nothing better than to kill themselves while taking a bunch of innocent bystanders with them. These kinds of things tend to lower the property value, and my new planet is ALL about property value. I know, I can hear you saying “That’s discriminatory! Most Muslims are moderate and don’t support terrorism in any way.” And you’d be right. But it’s just too damn hard to tell them apart from the crazies, so until they can start doing a better job of policing their own, they can either go infidel or stay home.

Third, no innocent bystanders allowed. I’m sick of having to hear sad stories on the news about how a bunch of people got shot because they couldn’t take the responsibility to protect themselves. On my new world, EVERYONE must own, and carry, a firearm. In fact, everyone who wishes to come will be tested to determine not only if they’re able to handle a firearm, but if they’re willing to USE one, should the need arise.

Fourth, no peaceniks. We are not a warlike people. We do not make war lightly, and when we do, we don’t want to be pestered about it by people who haven’t even smelled soap since they were kicked out of their parents house as teenagers. We are not warmongers. We will only resort to war when the opportunity presents itself. Or if we’re bored.

Fifth, and finally, no environmentalists. The whole principle behind the environmental movement is that we only have one planet, and we have to take care of it. Well, that’s not true anymore, is it? If there’s a habitable planet a mere twenty light years from Earth, they must be pretty common. So, instead of channeling valuable energies into preserving the planet, those energies will instead be channeled into building a huge fleet of starships that we can use to move on to the next habitable planet once we’ve sucked this one dry. Well, that, and war.

So, now that I’ve created this paradise off Earth, the question is, what to name it? Planet X? Alderaan? New Caprica? Bob? I’ll have to think about that one.

UPDATE:

The term Liberal in point one above will now be amended slightly to include Neo-Nazis, Holocaust Deniers, 9/11 Truthers, and Furries. I’m sure there will be people who ask “Are you equating such undesirables with Liberals?” As a matter of fact, yes I am. Deal with it.

Okay.....

Sometimes, no comment is adequate or even neccessary.

Good Enough For Me, But Not For Thee

So it appears that each of the Democrat candidates for President took private jets to the debate. No commercial flights, no “jet-pooling” to help conserve the Earth’s “precious and valuable resources.” And, of course, more commentary about this hypocrisy on Drudge and the blogs (like this). But here’s the sad truth: When Democrats talk about how we need to cut back on everything to save the environment, then turn around and live extravagantly themselves, it’s not really hypocrisy. Really, it’s not. They said WE have to cut back, to conserve. They never said anything about THEM having to cut back. The rules are meant for us, the little people. The ones who drag themselves out of bed every morning to go to job we can’t stand. The ones who make the country work. The ones who get shot while trying to get to class, because someone on high decided that everyone on campus should be defenseless. The ones who have to make the life and death decision of whether or not to crash their plane into the ground, because someone from on high thought it would be insensitive to give extra scrutiny to high risk passengers at the security terminal. You know, us serfs. Those rules don’t apply to them because they’re so much more important than us. They’re exempt.
I don’t understand why I have to keep saying this, but this has never been about the environment, or about liberalism, either. This is about elitism. The Democrat party is the party of elitism
They used to say that religion is the opiate of the masses, and that Communism is the opiate of the intellectuals. Well, liberalism is the opiate of the self-important.

Right Said Fred

The more I read about and from Fred Thompson, the more I like him. I know it’s common nowadays for Presidential candidates, particularly Republican ones, to position themselves as “The Next Ronald Reagan”, but I’m beginning to believe that Thompson is the only one out there on the Republican side (or the Democrat side, for that matter) who even comes close. There’s only two reasons why Castro Burn In Hell hasn’t come out and officially endorsed Fred for the Republican nomination: 1) he hasn’t yet announced that he’s running (though I suspect he will), and 2) nobody really gives a rat’s ass who we endorse or why. That being said, he has been posting articles left and right (but mostly right) at National Review Online. Here’s the link to his most recent posting, from today, as a matter of fact.

Dean: Bar Media And Candidates Will Talk

Howard Dean stated today that the best way to get the Presidential candidates to talk would be to bar the press from the debate. "If you want to hear the truth from them, you have to exclude the press," Dean said.
The press, for all its many, many flaws, is how We The People hear the news. Excluding the press from a Presidential debate is tantamount to saying exclude the public from the debate. And here you have the truth about how the Dems think of We The People: “We’ll say what we really think and believe, but only if the people can’t hear it.” What better evidence could there be of their lack of confidence in their electability: They have to hide their core beliefs to get elected, because if the American people knew what the Dems really believed, they’d be run out of town on a rail.

What Would Sherman Do?

The History Channel is running a special tonight called “Sherman’s March” about the great general’s “March to the sea” in the winter of 1864-65. It’s playing three times tonight, and it’s filled with some great quotes from the general on the subject of war. I have often thought that our leaders should listen to the words of this man when engaging in warfare. This show only confirms my beliefs.
