A flashback to when baseball and patriotism were still synonymous:



Ed at Hot Air writes:

I’ve written about this before at Captain’s Quarters, but the context bears repeating. In 1976, a sense of ennui had gripped the nation. In a year-long bicentennial celebration, many wondered if the economic stagnation that had lasted all decade meant that America’s best years were in the rear-view mirror. The commercialized bicentennial festivities felt forced and false. It seemed that pride in our country had dissipated into cynicism and retreat.

The unprompted, extemporaneous response to Monday’s heroics is the often untold story of that day. Over 40,000 baseball fans saw Monday risk his career by grabbing what could easily have been a fireball to rescue the American flag from a couple of asshats, and suddenly it recalled the real patriotism and passion for America that had been missing in 1976. At first in isolated pockets but soon sweeping around the stands like The Wave would later do, Americans stood up and sang “God Bless America” — not prompted by the stadium organist but fueled by love of country.

If you saw two men attempting to burn an American flag, would you stop them? Or would you continue on your way? I hope that most of us would intervene, but I fear that we've fallen into the same funk that Ed describes above -- thanks primarily to liberals who hate our country and try their hardest to make patriotic Americans ashamed for their love of country.

This video should serve as a reminder of how precious a symbol our flag is.

Here's a disturbing video for you today -- some idiot parents thought it would be a good idea to let their baby play with a cobra. A COBRA. Ace's readers point out that, as a performing cobra, it is probably defanged, but I still call major asshattery on the part of the parents... and whoever else was standing around laughing at this obviously pissed-off cobra (check out the hood) trying to strike a baby.

Cobra vs. Baby to decide who is king

Defanged my ass. That's still just awful. Besides the actual cobra strikes to the head, why on Earth would you want your child to grow up with no fear of dangerous, deadly snakes? Not every snake you come across is going to be defanged, yet you want to indoctrinate the notion into your children from infancy that snakes are living toys??

And how lovely that the camera stopped filming once the snake wrapped itself around the baby's neck -- was it then, and only then, that the "responsible adults" decided it was time to pull the snake off? Or did they stop filming because something actually happened to the baby? I vote for -- and certainly hope for -- the first option. But if you're willing to let a cobra, defanged or not, strike your baby on the head repeatedly, and then laugh about it, there's something not right about you. These people, these pitiful excuses for parents, shouldn't have been allowed to breed.

Oh, but wait, all cultures are equal, so clearly we should just respect this. It's probably something our greedy, stupid Western minds just can't understand.

Video of the Day, Part Two

I can barely watch this video. My family is a family of NASCAR fans. My dad is a Jeff Gordon fan, while my aunt loves Tony Stewart, and there's a lot of good-natured ribbing going back and forth every Sunday. They never, ever miss a race. My dad drag races himself, and has since I was a kid, and I guess racing is just something that will always be in my family.

A lot of people just watch NASCAR to see the crashes. Well, this one's a doozy, and it's tough to watch:


How that man was able to walk away, I have no idea. God was on his side that day, that's for damn sure.

I don't often have much use for The Daily Show, but occasionally, it can be really funny.

Here's a video of correspondent Rob Riggle reporting on the Berkeley situation. There's lots of snortworthy quotes that really made me wonder -- how do these people actually believe what they're saying? I mean, when they hear this stuff played back, are they not embarassed? Ugh.

Here's a few examples:

I kind of felt like how the Iraqis probably felt, like we were being occupied here in Berkeley.

The Marines are not a moral influence.

We are hugging, we are hugging, we are hugging for a peaceful world!

Rob Riggle: If only there was an organization sworn to defend that free speech!
Code Pinko: That would be great!

The Marines, we don't need to be worrying about their rights. It's not an equal relationship.

Rob Riggle: So if we got rid of police, we wouldn't have crime?
Code Pinko: Essentially.

Well, just think, if we had a Department of Peace, it could reach down into every community and talking about peace studies and conflict resolution...

Enjoy. There are laughs abound in this video. Code Pink and Berkeley hippies, be ashamed.

I didn't know whether to cringe or laugh out loud at this, so I did a little bit of both at the same time.

I present to you the first trailer for the new Anna Nicole Smith biopic starring Willa Ford:

That thing looks so bad that I don't think there's any kind of biting, sarcastic commentary I can add to it that can accurately portray the crappiness. Is it the soft porn music in the background? Ford's soft, breathy attempt at what I guess is supposed to be a "Southern" accent? Christ... I'm just gonna give up now. That video speaks for itself.

I get the feeling that this movie will win the title of "Worst Movie EVER" pretty much as soon as it's released.

If only more Europeans held opinions like this, and were willing to speak about it openly, and stand up against the Islamization of their countries, perhaps Europe would not be turning into Eurabia, the nation of Dhimmis. High five to this guy for having some common sense, though.

From Evaluation comes a video for the weekend. For all you Beatles fans, here's a new cover of "Hey Jude" by a diaper-wearing infant with a guitar bigger than he is. And I have to agree with Gags over at Evaluation: this kid is better than half of the signed recording artists out there today. Maybe better than three-quarters, even.

Enjoy:


And to show that this tot is, indeed, better than what the music industry gives us today, I'm giving you another video. This one also comes from Evaluation, and is a cover of Michael Jackson's "Beat It" sung by Charlotte Church and Amy Winehouse. Charlotte Church is lovely, but Amy Winehouse is a mess. In all likelihood, she was one God knows what kind of drugs during this performance, and at one point (around 2:00 in), you can even see Charlotte putting an arm around her to keep her steady. This performance is like a train wreck -- completely horrible and apalling, but you just can't look away. Even Charlotte's face is entertaining, because it's quite obvious that she's as apalled by Amy's performance as we are.

Did I mention that Amy Winehouse just won 5 Grammys? She won awards for Record of the Year, Best New Artist, Song of the Year, Best Vocal Album and Best Pop Vocal Performance. That's right, folks. Watch this video and see if you can tell me why.

Meltdown on an Air Canada flight

This video is making the rounds, and I honestly don't know what to make of it. Some have suggested a panic attack, some have suggested drugs, and one of Michelle's readers is swearing they spotted Michael Moore in the video (about halfway through, there's a very large man who stops by). Whatever it is, something just doesn't sit right with this. The other passengers seem to be showing a complete lack of concern for what is going on. Flight attendants seem to be paying little to no attention to the man, and it seems to be left up to passengers to restrain him. Air marshalls, perhaps? In any case, something doesn't seem quite right.

The man cursed a lot, yelled out "Allahu Akhbar!" and screamed for them to shoot him repeatedly, saying he wasn't afraid to die. The whole situation is very odd.

As soon as I looked at this video, I knew it was going to end badly. I'm no Annie Oakley, but I also know better than to just cavalierly grab a gun and start shooting. I have to wonder about the guy who shows up at the end of the video -- was he letting her do this on purpose so he could have a giggle, or was he just not paying attention? I'm guessing it was the former, judging by how he tried to show off her broken nose for the camera.

Colorodo teens make the pledge politically correct

Michael Newdow must be very, very proud of these kids.

If you don't remember, he was the atheist who wanted the words "under God" removed from the Pledge of Allegiance because he was (sniff, sniff) offended! He claimed it was not ok for his daughter to have to recite those two little words every day, even though the daughter in question and her mother had no problem with it whatsoever. That didn't get in the way of his shameless exploitation of her, though, because the concerned parent attack comes off much better than the intolerant liberal moonbat attack does. He also wants to have "In God We Trust" removed from all U.S. money, apparently unconcerned about the hassle (to put it mildly) it will cause for the Treasury.

If a moonbat is offended, then we all gotta pay.

With that in mind, I present to you the Boulder High School Student Worker Club:

Members of the activist club "Student Worker" are calling on students to leave class every Thursday at 8:30 a.m. — when the pledge is recited over the intercom — and rally in the courtyard to say a revised version of the pledge.

Club President Emma Martens, who's leading the protest, wrote this new version: "I pledge allegiance to the flag and my constitutional rights with which it comes. And to the diversity, in which our nation stands, one nation, part of one planet, with liberty, freedom, choice and justice for all."

Martens said her group is concerned that the traditional pledge read daily at the start of second period classes takes away from school time. She also said the phrase, "one nation, under God," violates the separation of church and state.

"Boulder High has a highly diverse population, not all of whom believe in God, or One God," she wrote in an e-mail to the Camera.

"We didn't think it was fair for the whole school to have to listen to it," Martens said between classes today. "It's disrespectful and in complete violation of the separation of church and state. It's almost religious oppression."

She said the group has written a letter to Principal Bud Jenkins asking that Boulder High hold the recitation — which the school must make available by state law — in the auditorium during both of the school's two lunch breaks.

"That's so students can go if they want, but not everyone is required to listen to it," Martens said. "I don't want them to break any laws by not saying it. We just want them to do it so we don't have to hear it every day."

One of the first things I thought when I read this was her complaint about how reciting the Pledge of Allegiance "takes away from school time". Having hordes of students troop out to the courtyard at 8:30 to say her moonbat version, though, is apparently ok.

She also took the liberty of remaking our flag, because I guess having stars to represent each of the states in the union is not satisfactory, either. No, a peace sign is much better:



Now, lets just examine this new liberal-friendly Pledge:

"I pledge allegiance to the flag and my constitutional rights with which it comes. And to the diversity, in which our nation stands, one nation, part of one planet, with liberty, freedom, choice and justice for all."

This girl covered all of the requisite liberal talking points, didn't she? Diversity? Globalism and environmentalism? "Choice" (meaning abortion, I'm sure)? Perversion of constitutional rights? She's got every base covered!

What's almost funny, if it wasn't so sad, is how she equates the phrase "Under God" to religious oppression. If she wants to know what real religious oppression looks like, she should do some research. She could start here, or here, or even here, where she can learn about real oppression by country. People being enslaved and murdered because of their religion is real oppression. A whiny high school student crying over a centuries old phrase to get attention so that she can feel important is not opppression.

And there's of course the obligatory "separation of church and state" argument, a phrase which actually appears nowhere in the Constitution. If she wants to leave out "under God", then she's free to go right on ahead, but that's never enough for liberals. They ensure that if one person is offended, we all suffer the consequences. Besides, why should facts and respect for the beliefs of others matter? It doesn't stop any other liberal moonbat, and it sure as hell won't stop her.
