Chinese Use General Sherman’s War Advice…
Nobody Reports
I came across this in my reading today:
If you were to destroy your “enemy” how would you go about it? (With a little help from the inside!)
“If my enemy came out against us in the open country, destroy industrial establishments whenever we found them, break up the lines of interior commercial intercourse, close the coal mines, seize and if necessary destroy the manufactories and commerce of Philadelphia, and of other large cities within our reach.” –General “Stonewall” Jackson
He also said this:
“Always mystify, mislead, and surprise the enemy, if possible, and when you strike and over come him, never let up in the pursuit so long as your men have strength to follow: for an army routed, if hotly pursued, becomes panic striken and can then be destroyed by half their number. The other rule is, never fight against heavy odds. If by any possible maneuvering you can hurl your own force on only a part, and that the weakest part, of you enemy and crush it. Such tactics will win every time and a small army may thus destroy a large one in detail and repeated victory will make it invincible.”
Nobody Thinks the Chinese have studied our own history more than our own leaders have, and they are doing exactly as Sherman suggested, and without firing a shot.
What’s our weakest link?
Our politicians.
When In Rome, Get In Your IPod
Nobody Reports that Nobody Reads!
Here are a few intersting items I found in my reading today:
In Bushworld, Maureen Dowd complained about Dick Cheney and President Bush…hiding things.
“The vice president and president are really concerned about the privacy of power. They want to do, and be accountable to no one. The theme of Bush I is now the them of Bush II: Trust us, even if we won’t let you verify. we know we’re right . We answer to no one. “
That sentence could very well have been written about Barack Obama and his administration. “We have to pass the bill so we can read it.”
Has Maureen figured out by now that the democrats rule the same way?
Has a pigmy ever won a Pultizer?
****
In What Life Was Like When Rome Ruled the World I found this:
The Roman historian Livy said Rome was a “free nation, governed by annually elected officers of state and subject not to the caprice of individual men, but to the overriding authority of law.” The Romans codified their young “republic” around 430 BC in the Twelve Tables.
Now, this was not exactly a “republic” because only the wealthy patricians could vote and be elected. The common man (plebeians) did not have a say. And when the Roman elites sent the poor plebeians to fight the war in Carthage (Africa) it got sticky.
“Plebeians burdened by debt and lenglthy military service were losing their land to patricians who profited by the labor of slaves taken in battle”
So…history shows that the patricians and the plebeians are still in the exact same place. Even in the “republic” of China.
Nobody also likes this:….a speaker system for $100, 000. and a clever IPOD that you can climb into when the next flood comes. That’s only $3,900.
Now, how to get that stereo into that IPOD….Nobody is working on it.
Martha Raye VS Sean Penn
Nobody Gets Email
Nobody Knows…
This lady lived probably before most of my readers time: BUT, if you ever watch the old movie channels you will recognize this woman. Her name was Martha Raye. After you read this, and you think about the movie stars in our generation, you will wonder like me: WHAT happened to them? For instance: Here we see Sean Penn holding the Egyptian flag, supporting the revolution…in EGYPT. Most of them are anti-American. (Thanks to Tom Beebe)

This is a great story about a great woman. I was unaware of her credentials or where she is buried. Most of the old time entertainers were made out of a lot sterner stuff than today’s crop of activists and whiners. The following is from an Army Aviator who takes a trip down memory lane:
It was just before Thanksgiving ’67 and we were ferrying dead and wounded from a large GRF west of Pleiku. We had run out of body bags by noon, so the Hook ( CH-47 CHINOOK) was pretty rough in the back. All of a sudden, we heard a ‘take-charge’ woman’s voice in the rear.
There was the singer and actress, Martha Raye, with a SF ( Special Forces) beret and jungle fatigues, with subdued markings, helping the wounded into the Chinook, and carrying the dead aboard. ‘Maggie’ had been visiting her SF ‘heroes’ out ‘west’.
We took off, short of fuel, and headed to the USAF hospital pad at Pleiku. As we all started unloading our sad pax’s, a ‘Smart Ass’ USAF Captain said to Martha…. Ms Ray, with all these dead and wounded to process, there would not be time for your show!
To all of our surprise, she pulled on her right collar and said…..Captain, see this eagle? I am a full ‘Bird’ in the US Army Reserve, and on this is a ‘Caduceus’ which means I am a Nurse, with a surgical specialty….now, take me to your wounded. He said, yes mam’…. Follow me.Several times at the Army Field Hospital in Pleiku, she would ‘cover’ a surgical shift, giving a nurse a well-deserved break.
Martha is the only woman buried in the SF (Special Forces) cemetery at Ft. Bragg . 
Ronald Reagan Saw a UFO?

—that Ronald Reagan saw a UFO, and wanted to build Star Wars, not only to protect us from the Russians, but also from any visitors from other planets. Not to mention, who knew Dan was selling Vodka?

President “Wannabe” Obama
Real Americans
Nobody Cares
Me and JQA...
After watching the Republican debate last night, I really didn’t care to watch ‘President’ Obama read his thoughts on how America was going to smash the deficit barrier with green jobs and FDR’s remake of rebuilding our infrastructure. God knows, after all the tornadoes, fires, earthquakes, flyover of Air Force One, Google vacuuming vast volumes of electricity, blackouts, and floods— we do need it, but by the time Obama gets his own ideas off his teleprompter, he will be long gone…Unless of course we get attacked right before the election, which, according to many psychologists who have labeled him a psychotic narcissist dealing with a less than full deck, it’s an attack we could very well expect.
Our lives seem to go on, and America is like a runaway train, heading for a major collision, like in the movie “Unstoppable.” Sure it could be stopped, but with Timmy Giethner at the helm, it’s not likely to happen. Somebody call Denzel Washington…maybe HE could tell Obama to put on the brakes. (good movie. )
Anyway, I wanted to tell a small story about my trip to the famous Arch. The “Gateway to the West.” The steel monument that is a favorite stop for Indiana vacationers, and anyone else who has a bucket list of tall stuff to visit.
Arch of St. Louis
I went with my friend Pattie, who weighs all of 2 pounds, and my husband. The elevator to the top fits only five people. Its shaped like an egg, and you go up the leg, and then get out, and climb about fifty steps and there you are at the top. It’s a pretty quick trip.
The top (see fuzzy picture) is not too big. And there we were, leaning over and looking at the one small riverboat below, when I heard it: someone was singing, in a loud voice, and in a language I didn’t even recognize. I was trying to talk to my friends, and I said.
- Me at top of Arch
“I don’t know, I can’t hear you because someone just feels like singing!”
Then, a middle age lady came over to me and whispered..”He’s saying his prayers..shssss” as if…as if..I should understand that in America, if someone wants to sing loud prayers annoying everyone at the top of the arch, we need to respect that.
As I looked over, there he was: a black man in a white Muslim dress..you know, all the way down to his feet, and a pretty little hat, all lined in some kind of gold trim. You didn’t have to use much instinct to know that this guy was TRYING to annoy us all. His giveaway? The grin on his face, and the fact that he was praying to San Francisco, not Mecca. Not that San Francisco doesn’t need prayers.
On the way down, we happened to get a couple in the elevator who were so fat, they both took up three seats, and didn’t even want us to get in. We could have said “Sure, we’ll catch the next one.” but I was not going to spend another two minutes listening to Michael Muslim yodel. Good thing Pattie weights 2 pounds.
When we got back down again, we saw the “Muslim” walking with his girlfriend, holding hands, and she had on a very pretty shimmering outfit, very Las Vegas style— Muslim wannabes.
If I had to do it over again, I would have broke into the National Anthem. In fact, next time I see a Muslims praying, that’s exactly what I intend to do—which brings me back to the Republican debates and Obama.
When asked about immigration, Rick Santorum, Republican candidate from Pennsylvania, went into his Italian mother and father coming over and we should welcome all immigrants, yada, yada, yada,…failing to mention that his parents learned English, and did not get instant Social Security, full medical benefits, and a free college education. Many Mexicans are not assimilating, and neither are the Muslims.
And with a President Wannabe, who has shown no intention whatsoever of becomiing a real American…what else can we expect?
Nobody Reviews: America Alone by Mark Steyn
Nobody’s Opinion:
It’s been a long time since I couldn’t put a book down, but that’s been the case with Mark Steyn’s masterpiece, American Alone: The End of the World As we Know it. I started it yesterday, and ended up reading it through, breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, and now, I’ve got it on my lap while I write this, racing towards the last page.
Mark’s book is all about the most imminent threat to us all, the one that will lead us into the dark ages. It’s not the stock market, the elections, Obama’s health care, a horrible virus, or earthquakes…it’s the population, stupid. Most of the Western civilizations: Japan, England, Italy, Spain, Germany..are not having enough babies to sustain their bloated welfare systems. And so, to do the jobs that good “Westerners” won’t do…they bring in..the Muslims.
And Muslims, do not assimilate. They have no plans on becoming “democratized.”‘ And therefore, it’s the same old fight from years ago…the West against the East. Except now, we have leaders that bend over backwards to their every command. After 9/11, President Bush went to a Mosque. The White House has to celebrate Ramadan, every year.
Did we give Japanese tea parties after Pearl Harbor? I don’t think so.
My own Mayor insulted me when I was worried about my Muslims neighbors making bombs, he said, “Hey, why don’t you just move.”
Hey…I was here first. In just one year, they have bought up the five houses surrounding them, flew in all their other Muslim relatives, and they stay hidden. They are surrounded by American flags, but how long before many of my neighbors take our Mayor’s advise and really do move?
The Muslims are reproducing and infiltrating other nations at astounding pace. They will soon outnumber the West in sheer population alone. And that’s how they have always conquered in history. Put the Mosque up next to the church, and multiply…use the Western welfare system if you can. Parasites.
Mark says, when speaking about the vast numbers of Muslims in England: “Welfare addiction over demographic reality.” In other words, the few natives left do not car a fig about their country, only that they get their pension, vacations, and short working hours.
Like a wise enemy, their plan is to conquer us from within, using our own laws…and we let them.
“Much of what we loosely call the Western world will not survive the 21th century, and much of it will effectively disappear within our lifetimes, including many if not most European countries.”
Pat Buchanan has been writing about this for years, but Mark put it all into a much more intense focus. For instance, he blames America for footing the bill for Europe’s defense, which is one of the reasons Europe had enough money to spend on their cushy welfare states. With nanny states, he says, “We are the children we never had.”
And Mark is incredibly funny too. One of my favorite lines was when he was describing how Muslim men were afraid that when they shook an unbeliever’s hand that their penis would ‘melt into their body.’
“I know the feeling: The same thing happened to me after shaking hands with Senator Clinton.” said Mark. ” The vanishing penis hysteria was spread by cell phones and text messaging. ”
I think that’s a rumor worth twittering, don’t you?
Mark likes Bush’s plan to send democracy to the Muslim world. And Bush himself has said, he will be dead before he knows if it succeeded. But, you can’t spread freedom to a people who do not want it, nevertheless, he seems to think doing something is better than doing nothing in that regard.
Tonight, we are watching another dictator going down. Gadafi is gone. And I’m sure Obama, will take credit for giving the Muslims guns to do it. But does America really win here? People think that Islam could never take over our country. But we elected a President who insisted on his Muslim name. He finds the Muslim religion well and good. We may be in more danger than even Mark will admit.
I don’t think Obama is “freeing” the Muslim nation for democracy. He is using the Unites Sates resources to put in power the Muslim brotherhoods that Saudi Arabia prefers. But that’s just my Nobody Opinion.
The real truth is we should start thinking sooner rather than later about defending our Western Civilization.
Britain did a lot of good. Mark sticks up for empire. He pointed out…What would India have become without the British influence?
“Britain was never an unrivaled colossus even at its zenith. Yet today in language, law, politics, business, and the wider culture, there is simply nothing comparable in scale or endurance to the Britannic inheritance. “
Here..here.
So, what’s a nobody to do? After reading the book, my husband and I walked the dogs. We do not have sidewalks here, so our dogs walk on people’s yards to avoid the cars. My husband has always told me to keep the dogs off the Muslim’s yard. But tonight, I let them walk on the whole side of the Muslim yard. If my dogs are good enough to walk on everybody else’s lawn, then I will make no exception for them.”
It’s time we start saying, “You came to MY neighborhood. This is how we do it here. ”
If they can do it..then so can we. Damn the cultural torpedoes….One small step for a nobody..
One big step for my dogs.
Nobody Gets Email: History of Social Security
Nobody Knows
Not many of us know the real history of Social Security, but this email will explain that it was the democrats that grabbed it all, and ran. So, next time you hear Obama tell you how those mean Republicans want to take away grandma’s Social Security check, remember who caused it to fail in the first place.
Also, remember who threatened to cut those checks if he didn’t get more money from YOU!
(Thanks to Tom Beebe)
History Lesson On Your Social Security Card
It doesn’t matter if you are Democrat or Republican. Facts are facts. Social Security Cards up until the 1980s expressly stated the number and card were not to be used for identification purposes. Since nearly everyone in the United States now has a number, it became convenient to use it anyway and the Message, NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION, was removed.
Our Social Security:
Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program and signed the law in August of 1935. He promised:
1. That participation in the program would be completely voluntary. (No longer Voluntary)
2. That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual incomes into the program. (Now 7.65% on the first $90,000)
3. That the money the participants elected to put into the program would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year. (No longer tax deductible.)
4. That the money the participants put into the Independent “Trust Fund” rather than into the General Operating Fund, and therefore would only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government program and ..( Under Johnson the money was moved to The General Fund and Spent.)
5. That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income. (Under Clinton and Gore Up to 85% of your Social Security can be taxed.)
Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month…and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we PAID to the Federal government to “put away”—you may be interested in the following:
Q: Which political party took Social Security from the Independent “Trust Fund” and put it into the General Fund so that Congress could spend it?
A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically controlled House and Senate.
Q. Which political party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?
A: The Democratic Party.
Q: Which political party started taxing Social Security annuities?
A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the ‘tie-breaking’ deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the U.S..
Q. Which political party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants?
A: That’s right! Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party. Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments! The Democratic Party gave these payments to them even though they never paid a dime into it!
Then, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take away your Social Security! —-Dick Kantenberger.
Nobody Would Touch Powdered Long Pig
Nobody Reports:
I was reading an excerpt last week, from a guy who was at Jamestown, Virginia, during the starving time of 1609, and it got me to thinking about…food. Those first adventures to the “New World” were not exactly easy..in fact, due to poor management and planning, everybody started to starve…and this guy wrote about it:
As for our hogs, hens, goats, sheep, horses, or what lived, our commanders, officers, and savages daily consumed them: some small proportions sometimes we tasted until all was devoured. Then swords, arms, pieces, or anything we traded with the savages, whose cruel fingers were so oft imbrued in our blood that what by their cruelty, our governors indiscretion and the loss of our ships, of 500 within six months after Captain Smith’s departure there remained not past 60 men women and children. And those were preserved for the most part by torts, herbs, acorns walnuts, berries, now and then a little fish. Nay so great was our famine that a savage we slew and buried the poorer sort took him up again and ate him : and so did diverse one another boiled and stews with roots and herbs. And one among the rest did kill his wife, powdered (salted) her, and had eaten part of her before it was known for which he was executed as he will deserved. Now whether she was better roasted boiled or carbonadoed broiled, I know not. but of such a dish a powdered wife I never heard. (rim shot)
Nobody Knows if that last line was a joke, or if the guy was serious.
So, here’s the question: if you were starving would you put salt on your wife or husband and eat them? Wouldn’t it be easier to eat someone you’d never met? OF COURSE! It’s okay to eat your enemies, but not your wife.
(insert your joke here…………………………………………………….)
Did anybody bother to ask Jeffery Dahlmer what part of the human being tasted the best and what herbs he used? Was a toe, better tasting than an ear?
Remember in the movie “Alive” about the survivors of Flight 571 where the rugby team broke down and ate…butt?
Aren’t you glad that you’re biggest problem of your day today, was whether to turn your air conditioner down one more notch?
Nobody it seems, but me, thought that cannibalism was a very rare human event, and had only happened a very few times in history. Well, if you think that…THINK AGAIN!
According to Wikipedia, (and do we believe them?) many poor souls have been somebody else’s prime rib for most of our history. Thousands (nay, millions) have gone into some guy’s barbeque pit for stew a la Joe.
The Korowai still eat human flesh as a “cultural” practice.
If it’s “cultural” does that make it okay? That means it would be permitted in San Francisco.
Cannibalism has been documented from Fiji, (better known as the Cannibal Isles) to the Amazon Basin, to the Congo, to New Zealand, and to the Marquesas Island of Polynesia, where the delicacy of human was called LONG PIG.
Does this mean that humans taste like very long Bacon noodles?
In America, the Mohawk, the Attacapa, the Tonkawa, and other Texas tribes were known to their neighbors as “man eaters.” ( Not to be confused with Hall and Oates.)
Is that why George W. Bush won the Florida Recount?
During the Crusades, the victorious army would have human thighs after a hard day of killing.
Reports of cannibalism were also recorded during the First Crusade, as Crusaders fed on the bodies of their dead opponents following the Siege of Ma’ arrat al-Numan. There were also further cannibalism incidents on the march to Jerusalem and efforts made to delete mention of these from western history.
Did you know that? No wonder they took victory so much more seriously back then, if you lost…you would be roasted slowly over a fire with sweet onions, while having to listen to a bunch of guy tell dirty jokes and sing “Nearer My God to Thee” off key.
So, now you know. Men have been literally eating each other since the beginning. Nobody thinks that now we need to pay attention to the main menu where jihadists have listed : American Pie as the first entre.
Should we eat our enemies like in the old days? Would you really want to suck on the fingers of bin Laden?
Me neither…I’ll…stick with McDonalds.
But, back to the question. What would you do?
Nobody likes to think I would just eat…dirt. I tried it as a kid, and as I remember…it’s not all bad. You don’t even need salt.
Nobody Loves Larry the Cable Guy
Now…I’ve learned a lot from Glenn, but for all his wonderful lessons on the founders and the sad state of our affairs, he leaves us with little hope…he’s great, but I feel like having a tequila afterwards. I’m always talking to the TV and saying, “Sure, I’ll stock up on food when I get the MONEY to stock up on food Glenn, but this week’s grocery bill won’t let me.”
And in this world where men can be fired for making a joke about their testitcles, Larry’s jokes are a refreshing change, where women know it’s all in good fun. Larry lets the guys be guys, and you know, the sex jokes are really funny.
So, Larry…if you’re listening..”GET IT DONE BOY!” Nobody loves ya!
Nobody Says: Hey, Bill Maher, Larry new program is eating you for lunch! What’ s that? You’re giving me the finger? You giving AMERICA the finger? Why don’t you move somewhere less…American.
Somewhere…like France.
Unicorns LOVE Virgins–and Other Fairy Tales
Nobody Knows
Have you seen the Progressive car insurance commercial where the bimbo Progressive Lady says that when she thinks of togetherness (like auto and house insurance) she thinks of glitter and unicorns?
“The Floridians have pieces of unicorns’ horns, which they wear about their necks, whereof the Frenchmen obtained many pieces. Of those unicorns they have many, for that they do affirm it to be a beast with one horn, which coming to the river to drink, puts the same into the water before she drinks.”
“They have the hair of a buffalo and feet like an elephant’s. They have a single large black horn in the middle of the forehead, and they have the head like a wild boar’s. They spend their time by preference wallowing in mud and slime. They are very ugly brutes to look at. They are not at all such as we describe them when we relate that they let themselves be captured by virgins, but clean contrary to our notions.
“The unicorn, through its intemperance and not knowing how to control itself, for the love it bears to fair maidens forgets its ferocity and wildness; and laying aside all fear it will go up to a seated damsel and go to sleep in her lap, and thus the hunters take it.”
Bin Laden: Lost in Transportation by Six
Nobody Remembers: Those of you who know me…know WHY I have such affection for Seal Team Six, and how glad I was that they finally killed the scumbag who changed our world so drastically, and caused so much suffering to so many of our people When I told my husband, (who was playing sniper video games last night) that bin Laden had been killed by Seal Team Six…he calmly said: “Yeah… I believe that…even though it’s not suppose to exist.”
“Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him. As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God ” Psalms (68:1)
About
I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)
Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
It’s my Nobody Opinion that Nobody’s Perfect, and Nobody Cares, that Nobody Knows why Nobody Wins, and when that happens, Nobody Wonders, why Nobody Flashes, why Nobody’s Fooled, but then Nobody remembers that Nobody ALWAYS Reports the truth.
