Onward & Downward The Blond Squad

Celebrity, Conservatism, Etiquette, Feminism, Gender, Intelligence, Media

As was said over these pixelated pages, “brains are a hindrance to advancement in the age of the idiot; being a lightweight blond is helpful.” The blond squad is everywhere in American politics. Not even the libertarian faction—my own—has spared us the specter of a dime-a-dozen dames. Dumbing down is to the detriment of all.

Watch this clip of the cretin Carrie Prejean lord it over Larry King (who, I must say, behaves demurely and perfectly politely).

Can you say pretentious, plastic cow?

Whoopee Goldberg is correct. Here’s another empty head, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, defending the trail-blazing Prejean.

“Manacled by multiculturalism, Lieutenant General Robert W. Cone, commander of III Corps at Fort Hood was careful to keep his grunts defenseless.”

As I write in my upcoming WND column, to be posted tonight,

“‘As a matter of practice, we don’t carry weapons here, this is our home,’ he bragged about the ‘no-guns’ policies on base. It remained for the victims at Fort Hood to wait for civilian police officers to rescue them from a lone, weapons-wielding man.

For 13 of the fragged men and women it was too late.”

A legend named Sergeant Kimberly Munley has been born. Everyone is slobbering over the fact that a woman, purportedly, took Hasan down.

I’m a wee bit skeptical about such fem fantasies. Remember that hoax the military perpetrated about some single woman soldier in Iraq who took on an Iraqi battalion?

Wikipedia is more cautious. Lo and behold, the online encyclopedia mentions an unmentionable—a man—who seemed to have done quite a bit to finish that dirty job:

“Sergeant Kimberly Munley, who had arrived on the scene within three minutes of receiving the report of an emergency at the center, encountered Hasan exiting the building in pursuit of a wounded soldier. Munley and Hasan exchanged shots. Munley was hit three times; twice through her left leg and once in her right wrist, knocking her to the ground.[19] In the meantime, civilian police officer Sergeant Mark Todd arrived and fired at Hasan. Todd said: ‘He was firing at people as they were trying to run and hide. Then he turned and fired a couple of rounds at me. I didn’t hear him say a word, he just turned and fired.'[20] Hasan was hit and felled by shots from Todd and Munley.[21][3] Todd approached the wounded shooter, kicked a pistol out of his hand, and placed him in handcuffs as Hasan fell unconscious.[22]”

Update: It’s confirmed (thanks, Jack). This was a repeat of the Jessica Lynch affair. How predictable. A man had Munley’s back. You know how useless the woman must have been for the New York Times not to ignore the story:

“The witness, who asked not to be identified, said Major Hasan wheeled on Sergeant Munley as she rounded the corner of a building and shot her, putting her on the ground. Then Major Hasan turned his back on her and started putting another magazine into his semiautomatic pistol.

It was at that moment that Senior Sgt. Mark Todd, a veteran police officer, rounded another corner of the building, found Major Hasan fumbling with his weapon and shot him.

How the authorities came to issue the original version of the story, which made Sergeant Munley a national hero for several days and obscured Sergeant Todd’s role, remains unclear.”

What a gentleman Todd is. Or, more likely, too scared to shatter the PC code of conduct and the nation’s fantasies. Via the Guardian:

“Todd said: ‘We were engaged in a gunfight, and then I neutralised him, or we neutralised him.'”

Oops, he almost took credit for his actions. No well-trained American man inculcated in PC would do that! In any event, it seems that Hasan dropped the lady weapons expert and Todd “neutralized” the Other Protected Species.

Updated: Warming Up For World Government

I have only a minor quibble with the superlative Lord Christopher Monckton, former science adviser to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, in his dire warnings about the imminent loss of US sovereignty:

“The US Constitution is the thin edge of the wedge that has allowed U.S. governments to cede the rights of Americans to the UN. Specifically, the ‘Supremacy Clause’ in Article VI states that all treaties made by government shall be ‘the supreme Law of the Land,’ and shall usurp state law. Article VI has thus further compounded the loss of individual rights in the U.S.” It needs repealing, among others.

This via Walter Scott Hudson of the blog Fightin’ Words:

“The Minnesota Free Market Institute hosted an event at Bethel University in St. Paul on Wednesday evening. Keynote speaker Lord Christopher Monckton, former science adviser to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, gave a scathing and lengthy presentation, complete with detailed charts, graphs, facts, and figures which culminated in the utter decimation of both the pop culture concept of global warming and the credible threat of any significant anthropomorphic climate change.”

“…If credible, the concern Monckton speaks to may well prove the single most important issue facing the American nation, bigger than health care, bigger than cap and trade, and worth every citizen’s focused attention.”

“Here were Monckton’s closing remarks, as dictated from my audio recording:

At [the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference in] Copenhagen, this December, weeks away, a treaty will be signed. Your president will sign it. Most of the third world countries will sign it, because they think they’re going to get money out of it. Most of the left-wing regime from the European Union will rubber stamp it. Virtually nobody won’t sign it.

I read that treaty. And what it says is this, that a world government is going to be created. The word “government” actually appears as the first of three purposes of the new entity. The second purpose is the transfer of wealth from the countries of the West to third world countries, in satisfaction of what is called, coyly, “climate debt” – because we’ve been burning CO2 and they haven’t. We’ve been screwing up the climate and they haven’t. And the third purpose of this new entity, this government, is enforcement.

How many of you think that the word “election” or “democracy” or “vote” or “ballot” occurs anywhere in the 200 pages of that treaty? Quite right, it doesn’t appear once. So, at last, the communists who piled out of the Berlin Wall and into the environmental movement, who took over Greenpeace so that my friends who funded it left within a year, because [the communists] captured it – Now the apotheosis as at hand. They are about to impose a communist world government on the world. You have a president who has very strong sympathies with that point of view. He’s going to sign it. He’ll sign anything. He’s a Nobel Peace Prize [winner]; of course he’ll sign it.

[laughter]

And the trouble is this: if that treaty is signed, if your Constitution says that it takes precedence over your Constitution (sic), and you can’t resign from that treaty unless you get agreement from all the other state parties – And because you’ll be the biggest paying country, they’re not going to let you out of it.

So, thank you, America. You were the beacon of freedom to the world. It is a privilege merely to stand on this soil of freedom while it is still free. But, in the next few weeks, unless you stop it, your president will sign your freedom, your democracy, and your prosperity away forever. And neither you nor any subsequent government you may elect will have any power whatsoever to take it back. That is how serious it is. I’ve read the treaty. I’ve seen this stuff about [world] government and climate debt and enforcement. They are going to do this to you whether you like it or not.

But I think it is here, here in your great nation, which I so love and I so admire – it is here that perhaps, at this eleventh hour, at the fifty-ninth minute and fifty-ninth second, you will rise up and you will stop your president from signing that dreadful treaty, that purposeless treaty. For there is no problem with climate and, even if there were, an economic treaty does nothing to [help] it.

So I end by saying to you the words that Winston Churchill addressed to your president in the darkest hour before the dawn of freedom in the Second World War. He quoted from your great poet Longfellow:

Sail on, O Ship of State!
Sail on, O Union, strong and great!
Humanity with all its fears,
With all the hopes of future years,
Is hanging breathless on thy fate!

Lord Monckton received a standing ovation and took a series of questions from members of the audience….”

More.

The man speaks English as only an Englishman can.

Update: Thanks to Steve, the Monckton lecture in its glorious entirety. Sheer genius.
