About Kate
Why this blog?
Until this moment
I have been forced
to listen while media
and politicians alike
have told me
"what Canadians think".
In all that time they
never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."

It just shows how out of touch Obamba is with the military and the “little guy”.
It’s great to live in the fantasy world of predator drones, spy satellites, ICBM’s and Liberal lawyers but at the end of the day it’s US troops getting their ass’s handed to them by a bunch paedophilic goat herders with muskets and AK’s in the shitholes of the world.
Obama's bayonet line was prepared in advance because the dems knew the issue of fewer ships would come up. But his responses were delivered in a typical leftist, insulting, condescending manner :'We have aircraft carriers that planes land on.'
That almost made me throw up.
Hey Ghost, don't forget those ships that go under the water too.
factoid: subs have been around since the civil war.
Obama's not ignorant, he's simply stupid.
Don't insult ignorant people!
Just sayin...
Yeah, there are no bayonets in the high tech conference room where you watch the live predator feed or helmet cam video of real soldiers doing the business you then take credit for. Those soldiers actually have bayonets and still use them. What a dick! Nice Commander in Chief you got there! No idea what a bayonet is but sure as shit knows the difference between a nine iron and a sand wedge.
Yeah bayonets are not exactely obsolete.
Check out the Legion on parade with fixed bayonets on the short bullpups.

That is not to say that bayonets have not evolved into a ubiquitous, multipurpose hand tool.
The navy has so few ships that the Democratic Party had to use photos of Russian Navy warships, many of Soviet-era origin, on a giant screen while retired four-star Admiral John Nathman attempted to honor our Veterans’ contributions to America at the Democratic National Convention.
Russian ships displayed at DNC tribute to vets
On the last night of the Democratic National Convention, a retired Navy four-star took the stage to pay tribute to veterans. Behind him, on a giant screen, the image of four hulking warships reinforced his patriotic message.
But there was a big mistake in the stirring backdrop: those are Russian warships.

Quoting Forrest Gump; "stupid is as stupid does. Cheers
I had bayonet training. I pretty much determined that the enemy would see my A$$ heading over the ridge if I found myself in a situation that I needed to use it. (disclaimer - peacetime soldier)
What are you saying, that Obama isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer?
Al-in-Ottawa:
Good one!
Obama doesn't know there ARE knives in the drawer...
You see,
Those that talk how Romney is ignorant of today’s war stuff are actually the ignorant ones.
They come from academia where everything is a laboratory case. Real life stuff does not qualify. They mostly deal with hot air, not reality.
This morning, a university of Calgary wise guy, certain Taras, said the same thing as the white house occupant. Yesterday, Luntz on FOX said that it will be taught in schools for 20 years from now.
These are the people that went to school for a long time, to learn basically how to talk a lot without saying little and nothing, to impress those that are ignorant.
You will note the white house occupant talking incessantly regardless what comes out of his mouth, as long as he can use up the opponent’s time.

While the above link is worth looking at, this is actually the one I was trying to highlight-
http://dailycaller.com/2011/10/14/secret-mission-the-horse-soldiers-of-911/
Bayonet makers call Obama ignorant? Well, I take their point...
The actual statement " they used horses and bayonets too- but there aren't as many around now as in 1916," is just wrong.
In 1916, the US army was 100K plus 100K National Guard. Throw in ancillaries, and you come up well short of the 561K+ that is active today.
Why isn't anyone crushing him for blowing off basic US history?
Arron - because he blows off everything else? (including old college buddies?)
Military people talk about the number of bayonets to differentiate combat troops from the huge number of support troops that have made up armies for the past 100 years. I doubt Obama meant this because he doesn't know a corpse from a corpsman.
Ole "jugg ears", the Liar-in-Cheif.
He wanted to replace the real Military with his own civil army remember?
Bayonets are best utilized as crowd control devices, it’s surprising that Obamba doesn’t see the merits in that. Of course as long as their pooping on police cars in front of banks and not the Whitehouse lawn he’s not overly concerned.
Years back, recollect hearing of a drill instructor advising recruit to disharge a round to dislodge a bayonet if it happened to get stuck in a bone.
I liked the recruit's response that if he had a round available it was unlikely that he'd have used the bayonet in the first place.
And then there's this: Ipsos-Reuters poll suggests...
Obama blowout win
http://news.nationalpost.com/2012/10/23/election-blowout-on-the-way-obama-headed-for-a-decisive-victory-over-mitt-romney-ipsos-projects/
Attempting to school a businessman of many years and a successful politician just made Obama look like a total twit.
Remember this? (Highlander bayonet charge in Iraq) http://forums.army.ca/forums/index.php?topic=49607.0
"Bayonet company calls Obama 'ignorant'"
True or False?
Answer: True.
Other acceptable terms other than "ignorant" include:
Childish, condescending, silly, non-presidential, grade 4 style of talk, uninformed, desperate, losing it, community organizer talk, hasn't learned a thing in 4 years level of knowledge, the realization of "I not going to win" reaction.
Plus, many, many more.
Fox News reporting Sept. 11th emails from the State Dept that the lying Obama administration knew immediately,
real time video,
that the Libyan ambassador and brave American Seals were being killed and CIC chicken-in-chief did nothing.
He went to bed, waited 7 hours,
then blamed it on a rogue video.
Drones overhead could have supported the Seals,
fired rockets, mini guns,
given the troops a few extra hours.
Pres. Makeupshit didn't even toss them a bayonet.
He's not exactly the sharpest bayonet, is he?
