Yawnnnn...just call me Rip Van Winkle

But unlike ol' Rip, a nagging wife didn't send me hustling to the hinterlands.

Nor did a game of nine pins set me to sleeping.

Rather, I have been in a coma these past couple of months

Now, before you start sending flowers and get-well cards, it has been a coma induced by MASSIVE LIBERAL OVERLOAD!

It seems my tiny conservative brain, which only sees in black and white and not nuanced greys, has just had about enough and it needed a well deserved vacation.

But for you Dear Readers that have expressed an interest, here's what has been going on in my little sphere:

(even Judy the Liberal was asking about me! Ya believe it?)

* I bought a new(er) truck, as Old Red was wheezing her final death rattle.

I bought a '04 Dodge Dakota. Will take a little while to adjust to a smaller vehicle, but lest you think I'm going Green, it gets just as bad mileage as my old truck!

* Mrs. Warpigg has changed jobs. She now works for the private sector instead of the EVIL, Lib, Lefty School District and I say good riddance to a bad socialistic work environment. I am now free to run for School Board member and play Thorn to their Side. Let the games begin!

* On the political front, the healthcare take-over is on the ropes, Obama's ratings are falling like a pair of panties on prom night and hopefully McDonald vs Chicago will go our way and the Supreme Court will finally (and obviously) rule that the Second Amendment applies to ALL CITIZENS, no matter where they live and that a bunch of Lib City Councilmen can't infringe upon that right.

By the way, for those of you who aren't familiar with the case, the Plaintiff, Otis McDonald, is an elderly black man living in the crime-ridden 'hood that sued so that he could possess and carry a handgun to protect himself from the murderous animals that live there. The City Of Chicago said "Nope. We know better than you and if we let law-abiding citizens start packin' heat, why ,the murder rate will skyrocket!"

Of course, in the year following the landmark Supreme Court case Heller vs District of Columbia (decided last year), the murder rate in D.C. has plummeted 25%!!!

Just like Libs to not let facts stand in the way of politics!

And speaking of Dear Reader Judy the Liberal, the rumor mill has it that she will be arriving in my fair city sometime in the fall. I hope to meet her in person and verbally joust with her.

***AMAZING WARPIGG.COM CONTEST IDEA ALERT!!****

When Judy the Liberal comes into town, I was thinking about inviting her (and Sister Maggie too) to the local gun range to pop off a few rounds...ya know, something good and conservative to welcome her to K.C.

However, I'm stumped on any other itinerary ideas. Now, I'm sure she won't take me up on any of my offers, but ya never know, right?

Here's your job, Dear Readers, if you choose to accept it: Submit an activity I can invite Judy the Liberal to that best epitomizes our Midwestern, Conservative values. Something that she couldn't do in the liberal bastion of the Golden State.

The winner will receive his/her choice of one of the following posters, printed in full color on woven, textured matte paper, suitable for framing. Posters measure approx. 36"x24".

(click to enlarge....I think)

Submit your suggestion today by email or in the comments section and the best idea WINS!!

A loyal reader of this blog has sent a reply to yours truly via email.

Now, when I publish a post here, it automatically sends it to a few select reader's email inbox.

Reader J has been one of my most vociferous critics and one of the most liberal people I have known.

Having said that, she is also extremely intelligent and well versed in her arguments.

I don't mind admitting that I look forward to her emails so that I can refute her lefty outlook, point by point.

Recently, in response to "The Enemy Within" she sent me a reply and in it requested that in fairness, I should publish it here.

I agree. Here is J's response:

November 21, 2009

Dear WarPigg,

When I discuss something with someone, I first try to find things we agree on. Here are my thoughts that mirror yours.

I agree that life has been pretty busy and we never seem to find the time to write.

I agree it seems that every time a subject presents itself, something even more ludicrous or scary comes along.

I agree that all cultures are not equal.

I agree that all religions are not the same morally.

I agree we have to call a spade a spade and a Muslim terrorist a Muslim terrorist.

At this point, I should like to point out some items for which we may part ways. Or, perhaps not.

Political Correctness from the left. Liberals pushed to make it illegal to harass a person in his or her workplace because of the person’s race, color, gender, or religious beliefs. In other words, your sons and your future grandchildren have a right to go to their workplace and not have some jackass mistreat them and make their lives miserable because they are a female, or a Catholic, or are white, or… They should be able to focus on their careers and do the best they can do without some idiot intruding on them in a way that has nothing to do with work production. Oh my God! The world must be coming to an end. Those mean old liberals won’t let a bigot or an ignoramus make some poor worker’s life a living hell. They take all the fun out of everything.

Political Correctness from the right. The American Library Association (ALA) publishes a list of banned and challenged books. The vast majority of attempts to censor books comes from the right. Below is a list of some of the books most frequently objected to by the right.
The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald.
The Catcher in the Rye, JD Salinger
The Grapes of Wrath, John Steinbeck
Sons and Lovers, DH Lawrence
Ulysses, James Joyce
Of Mice and Men, John Steinbeck
Slaughterhouse Five, Kurt Vonnegut
Brave New World, Aldous Huxley Removed from classroom in Miller, MO (1980), because it made promiscuous sex "look like fun"

Below are my favorite challenges and the reasons given by the right for the challenges. The ALA states
“some of the most farfetched (silliest, irrational, illogical) reasons to ban a book.”
A Light in the Attic by Shel Silverstien, “Encourages children to break dishes so they won’t have to dry them.”
Tarzan, by Edgar Rice Burroughs, “Tarzan was ‘living in sin’ with Jane.”
Diary of Anne Frank, by Anne Frank, “It is a real ‘downer.’”
Little Red Riding Hood, by Jacob Grimm and Wilhelm K. Grimm, “The basket carried by Little Red Riding Hood contained a bottle of wine, which condones the use of alcohol.”
The Rabbit’s Wedding, by Garth Williams, “One bunny is white and the other is black and this ‘brainwashes’ readers into accepting miscegenation.”

I guess it comes down to which political correctness you can live with. I would rather have my workplace free of a hostile work environment. I am more offended that the right wants to dictate to me and my children what books we may or may not read.

You have the common error of belief that there is a liberal doctrine of “multiculturalism and moral equivalency.” It is liberal groups that continually criticize and work with cultural groups to change some of their ancient, horrific customs: child brides who are 8 years old; “honor killings” of women; degradation and subjugation of women and children.

In many countries of Africa, there is the practice of female circumcision, or as we liberals call it, female genital mutilation. Within these areas of Africa, this is considered an integral part of their cultural and ethnic identify and some view it as a religious obligation. Liberal groups have been severely criticized for their “cultural imperialism” and their efforts to stop this custom as we view it as harmful to the women’s health and a barbaric practice.

I am unable to comment on what criticisms have been targeted toward conservative groups concerning these issues since, to my knowledge, conservatives have done little or nothing to stop these practices. I guess they prefer to be politically correct.

I am as horrified by the slaughter at Fort Hood as you are. However, I have always been reluctant to tarnish a whole group for the acts of others in that group. Tim McVeigh, one of our domestic terrorists, was a product of an extremist militia group who claims Christianity as part of its creed. I do not hold all Muslims responsible for Fort Hood anymore than I hold all Christians responsible for McVeigh and the Oklahoma bombing.

This is my question. Would you have approved of rounding up the Japanese Americans the way we did during WWII and locking them up even though they were American citizens and there was no proof of their disloyalty? It appears that is what you are willing to do now with all American Muslims. There are many loyal Muslims that have served us in the Armed Forces and in other ways. There is a Muslim who has been in the Marines for 25 years and is a helicopter pilot. Would you just toss him out and label him an enemy of what he has faithfully served all of his adult life?

The military and other experts have long claimed one of the things we desperately need to win this war are more people and soldiers who speak Arabic and understand Islam. In our previous wars, we have always tried to get people who knew and understood the enemy; this is nothing new and apparently good strategy.
You state, “the creed of Muslims compel them to kill or subjugate the infidels.” I know you can take the Bible and prove any point you want to make. I assume one may do the same with the Koran.

You have objected to using the Bible for similar exhortations since, as you say, “the vast majority of Christians do not act on literal translations of the Bible to the point of mass murder.” I agree with you that this is true now.
However, it was not always so. One does not need the Bible. Look at history. Until after the end of World War II, Christian countries warred against one another for centuries. And each nation had “God on their side.”

Further, I don’t understand how you can make legitimate arguments when you hold some writings, the Bible, as off limits for examination. How do you ignore Scriptures in which God gave commands to kill every man, woman and child in the village?
You state that, “PC allows us to tolerate thousands of mosques in this country that preach anti-American hatred and implore their members to overthrow the U.S. Government and replace it with a Caliphate answerable to Shariah law.” There are some mosques that teach hate just as there are some churches that teach hate. Please document for me the proof of the statement that we have “thousands of mosques” doing that.
In the 1840s and after, there were massive groups of Catholic immigrants arriving in the U. S. The native Protestant groups were appalled by this. They sincerely believed that the Catholics and their churches were subversives dedicated to replacing American democracy with the rule of the Vatican. This resentment and suspicions lasted for decades. Fortunately, there was enough “PC” back then that the Know Nothings did not prevail. Otherwise, you and I would not be in America today.
I really want you to document for me your statement that “our Government contemplates enacting hate crime laws THAT WOULD MAKE CRIMINALS OF THE BAPTIST PREACHER THAT PREACHES
AGAINST KILLING THE UNBORN!” I am really interested in that one. Who is this minister and where is he located? I want to run to his rescue immediately!

Frankly, if we are going to criminalize some preachers and priests based on what they preach, I have a whole list of them. There are some that preach things that I absolutely hate and believe is evil. When do we start going after them? Goody, goody, I can’t wait! Of course, I will have to take some time off from serving on the death panels.

On second thought, I guess I will stick with the Constitution and permit preachers and priests to say what they want even if some of them teach disgusting and immoral things.

Really,WarPigg, this one really makes me laugh at the nonsense that is out there. We would have to go after every fundamentalist preacher and every Catholic priest. I want to see how that one is pulled off. You are too bright, WarPigg, to swallow this nonsense. Oh yes, I am sure some Baptist preacher laid claim to such a conspiracy, but it is, as you would say, BULLSHIT!

Every religion has vast sections of extremists who are violent or who threaten and support violence. McVeigh did not just pop out of our home grown soil alone. There are vast right wing militias in this country who claim to be Christians and who “practice war games” to ready themselves to go after their fellow Americans. Like the Muslim terrorists, they tell us what they are going to do to us.

Tracking the history of all this is too cumbersome and beyond my abilities. Let me recommend to you a project that you should review. It is an extensive study of the history and the rise of fundamentalism in all religions. It is edited by Martin E. Marty, a prominent Protestant minister and, don’t go crazy on me now, a professor at the University of Chicago. Please read the quote below.

“The Fundamentalism Project Edited by Martin E. Marty and R. Scott Appleby Around the world, fundamentalist movements are profoundly affecting the way we live. Misinformation and misperception about fundamentalism exacerbate conflicts at home and abroad. Yet policymakers, journalists, students, and others have lacked any comprehensive resource on the explosive phenomenon of fundamentalism. Now the Fundamentalism Project has assembled an international team of scholars for a multivolume assessment of the history, scope, sources, character, and impact of fundamentalist movements within the world's major religious traditions.”

WarPigg, I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Give S my love. I know all of us will be giving thanks for all the wonderful freedoms and blessings we enjoy in this country.

P. S. If you put your writing on your blog, don’t you think it is only fair to put mine on your blog so your readers can read another side?

"Ready to Lead, Ready to Follow, Never Quit"

I am sad to report one of the most egregious attacks on our military to date.

No, I'm not talking about a suicide bomber in Baghdad.

I'm not referring to a Taliban offensive in Afghanistan or an Al-Quaeda attack in the Green Zone.

No, I'm talking about the attack on three U.S. Navy SEALS by their own commanders.

In 2004 , Ahmed Hashim Abed (Code Name: Objective Amber) planned and executed the attack on four Blackwater USA military contractors in Fallujah Iraq.

The contractors were escorting a catering company when they were ambushed and brutally killed. Their bodies were burned, dragged through the streets and further desecrated by being hung from the supports of a bridge spanning the Tigris river for all to see....in a grotesque show of barbarism.

A Navy Seal team captured Abed and after briefly handing him over to Iraqi forces, regained custody of him and placed him in U.S. detention.

The prisoner then complained of mistreatment at the hands of the SEALS.

Now, Dear Reader, sit down. You don't want to be standing when I tell you this.....

Our brave SEALS are being charged with dereliction of duty for failing to protect a prisoner of war, making false statements and assault.....for, get this... giving Ahmed Hashim Abed a ....FUCKIN' FAT LIP!!!!

SO2 Matthew McCabe, SO2 Jonathan Keefe, and SO1 Julio Huertas have waived their appearance at a Captain's Mast (non-judicial punishment) to appear before a Special Court Martial. By declining Captain's Mast and accepting a court martial, they risk imprisonment and a bad conduct discharge, but these brave sailors are adamant about their innocence.

For those of you who are not familiar with the Navy SEAL teams, they are an elite Special Forces group who routinely carry out the most dangerous missions that war can offer. The also routinely carry out these missions with uncommon valor and honor and have done so since the end of WWII.

Note these excerpts from the SEAL creed:

" I serve with honor on and off the battlefield. The ability to control my emotions and my actions, regardless of circumstance, sets me apart from other men. Uncompromising integrity is my standard. My character and honor are steadfast. My word is my bond. "

"I will never quit. I thrive on adversity.

...If knocked down, I will get back up, every time.

....I am never out of the fight.

And perhaps, most telling, this part.........

" The execution of my duties will be swift and violent when required yet guided by the very principles that I serve to defend."

What kind of nation have we become when our Government prosecutes brave warriors like these men on the word of a filthy, murdering animal like Ahmed Hashim Abed?

What has become of our values? When did we lose our spines?

This is yet another in a long list of things this Administration has done to prostrate us to our enemies. Another "unclenched hand" to the radical Muslim world. Another bow. Another apology.

Barack Obama is the presidential equivalent to the sissy kid on the playground who readily coughs up his milk money to the bully because he doesn't want his cardigan wrinkled...and hey, Mommy has plenty more milk money for Barry anyway, right?

Keep these brave and honorable sailors in your prayers, fellow patriots.

Never forget.......It is men like this that keep us safe from the wolves at the door. -WarPigg

p.s. This was reported on FOX News, but not on NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC and only briefly mentioned on CNN. Still think the media is fair?

OF WHITE TRASH AND SILLY NEGROES

Two things to report this week:

On Tuesday, I was heading home from work and decided to stop in a local convenience store as I was very hungry. I only had $4.00 cash on me.

I decided to buy a bag of Chex Mix ($3.09) and a Coke ($1.19) Oops!

Not enough dough. Guess I'm eating my Chex Mix dry.

I got in line behind a 20 something woman with a 2-3 yr. old in her arms and a grubby faced 4 or 5 yr. old running circles around her legs.

She bought the following:

-2 beef jerky sticks for the the little grubby faced kid

-some kind of candy "ring" for the baby

-candy bars for both

- Coffee Mate, a Coke, a bag of Cheetos, a 2 liter of orange pop, and a microwavable sandwich (ham and cheese, I believe).

She whipped out her EBT (Electronic Benefits Transfer) Card and proceeded to charge the entire transaction to me, my children and grandchildren c/o the U.S. Government.

Now far be it for me to begrudge a young mother from buying her little ankle biters a treat to shut them up, but does it have to be on my dime?

You see, the Gub'ment wants to keep enacting more and more legislation to

"help the poor and disadvantaged" and keeps assuring us there will be no waste or fraud (Health Care )....but every Gub'ment program they have is riddled with this kind of waste.

If we must have Food Stamps, shouldn't there be strict guidelines on how it is used? Like, say...special food stores that only stock nutritious items or staples such as bread, milk, cheese, meats, etc?

Why does Cletus and his brood get to eat shrimp and steak while my family eats hot dogs and pork 'n beans? And if you think that's an exaggeration, just hang out at a grocery store come end of the month and you'll see it's true.

SCROOGE: I help to support the establishments I have mentioned: they cost enough: and those who are badly off must go there.''

VICTORIAN LIBERAL:``Many can't go there; and many would rather die.''

SCROOGE:``If they would rather die, they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population.

Ahh, ya gotta love ol' Ebenezer, right?

Incident #2:

Yesterday, the Mayor of Kansas City ( a white man) suspended the City Manager ( a black man) for reasons unknown.

Said Mayor had tried unsuccessfully to not renew the City Managers contract a year earlier, but was roundly criticized as a racist by members of the City Council, who then decided to award the City Manager a lucrative 3 year contract.

After the suspension yesterday, our illustrious local news channel interviewed a member of the City Council who just happened to be a black man.

The exchange went something like this:

REPORTER: "What was your reaction to the Mayor's decision?"

BLACK COUNCILMAN: " He dint even axe any African-American council members!"

REPORTER: " What role does race play in this?"

BLACK COUNCILMAN: What...but...then.....HE DINT AXE ANY AFRICAN-AMERICAN COUNCIL MEMBERS!"

Now this silly Negro seems to think that because the City Manager was BLACK, the Mayor has to consult with the BLACK Council members to get the OK to suspend him!

Not consult with the Council as a whole to assess their opinion, but just the other NEGROES!

What happened to our "post racial" America that was to be ushered in with the election of ObaMao?

I called it back in 2008. It's going to be worse, not better.

The Negroes have held us hostage to the notion that we must walk on eggshells in any matter BLACK.

These people don't want equality or an even playing field, they want.....

...wait for it......wait for it......

PAYBACK, BITCH!

They want to be Massa for a while. Feels good to have your foot on the throat of the "other color".

Sadly, we have knelt down and gently guided their foot to our jugular.

Yet another Gub'ment program, "well intentioned", that has gone awry.

Time to end Affirmative Action, time to end Food Stamps, Aid to Dependent Children, housing subsidies, quotas, etc., etc., etc.

Think I'm racist? WRONG!

I hate freeloaders of all colors and creeds.I just wish we could come up with a term that described them all.

Hmmm...."Liberals" is already taken, isn't it?
