Traditionally August is the silly season for news, but the Wingnut Wurlitzer is so silly all year ’round that they have to get really outlandish for the ‘pickled-cucumber days’. Roy Edroso has so much rightblogger opposite-of-goodness to share in his latest Village Voice column, this particular tidbit gets shoved to the second page:
… For more rightblogger lessons in history, let us look to a couple of National Review authors. David French celebrated the anniversary of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by telling us what a bunch of miserable wimps we have become. “In a time when America lacks the strength of will to force an active-duty Army officer (and admitted terrorist) to shave his jihadist beard before appearing at a court-martial,” he snarled, “when we wring our hands in guilt over the use of the most precise weapons ever devised against an enemy of unquestioned cruelty and malice, and when we respond to threats with weakness that merely encourages greater violence, it’s worth remembering a time when this nation understood the necessity — the moral necessity — of decisive force.”
Parts of French’s essay seem to veer off into ether — “Food stamps and single-payer health care aren’t firewalls against evil,” he said at one point, “and we’re fools if we entertain that belief” — but in the main his point was clear enough: “Our nation dialogues with (and funds) Holocaust-denying jihadists and displays little more than worried impotence as a hostile and hateful Iranian regime races towards an atomic bomb,” but once upon a time we knew when to push the button.
Later French’s colleague Michael Walsh went further, not only cheering Hirsohima and Nagasaki, but also that “every major city in Germany was destroyed and both Hamburg and Dresden were incinerated, the bodies of their inhabitants literally blown apart by the force of the bonfire’s incendiary winds: In Dresden, human heads rained down from the sky like bowling balls after the bodies of the victims evaporated in the flames…”
Some readers might wonder if Walsh wasn’t more pleased by the gore than by the military outcome (maybe he’s read Diana West!), but eventually he got to his point: “We’re way too politically correct to do something like that today, of course, and so we fight pointless wars for speechwriter mush about ‘human freedom’ that are all tactics and no strategy, with no apparent political objectives other than to see ‘elections’ staged, some schools built, and some cups of tea drunk. But we did not fight to ‘liberate’ the Germans from Hitler or the Japanese from imperial militarism: We fought them to crush them and eradicate the root of the evil that animated them…”
Thanks again, William F. Buckley!:
Prior to National Review‘s founding in 1955, some conservatives believed that the American right was a largely unorganized collection of individuals who shared intertwining philosophies but had little opportunity for a united public voice. They also wanted to marginalize what they saw as the antiwar, noninterventionist views of the Old Right…

America would do really well to draft these assholes who continue to cheer for more force and more death and more carnage and neverending war and send them out at the forefront of an invasion force.
Something tells me that the first time these bastards see heads literally rolling, guts spilling out, or their friends getting blown to bits an IED, the reality of what war is would finally smash its way into the pus bucket they call their brain and form the idea that maybe they should shut the fuck up.

A Lawyer from the NAACP legal fund on Hardball this afternoon said something that makes a lot of sense. And this headline fits what she said. What these Stop and Frisk laws are doing is cultivating a distrust of the police force and thereby making law enforcement harder. These same people who they are “stopping and frisking” are the same people law enforcement need to serve on juries and to help solve crimes by reporting and also being called as witnesses. The stop and frisk policy just make it so that these same people will not have any trust in law enforcement to be fair.

Yesterday, I saw (for the second time) the National Theatre production of Peter Morgan’s brilliant play The Audience, with Dame Helen Mirren reprising her role as Queen Elizabeth II. In case you haven’t heard of it, the play imagines (in a carefully educated way) some of the private meetings HM has held weekly with her Prime Ministers for the last 60 years. Relevant to this post, her conversation with Sir Anthony Eden on the eve of the Suez Canal crisis was uncanny in its similarities to what the Bush-Cheney-Rice-Powell folks were saying right before we invaded Iraq. Scary and sad.

@Cermet:
You need a quick fact check. The Americans did quite a number against the Germans when they went toe to toe. The US Army was instrumental at getting the Germans out of North Africa, running them out of Italy, and finally pushing them out of France. And, of course, Russia might have been in an even worse situation if we hadn’t been keeping the Japanese busy.

And that they were scared of the Russians, even when they were getting run over by the Nazis. One of the odd points of the war is that a large fraction of US aid to the USSR went to Vladivostok with minimal interference. The Japanese ought to have been able to wreak havoc with shipments, but because the stuff was in Soviet flagged ships, they held off. It was a major strategic blunder of the kind they wouldn’t have made if the Axis had a unified command that could really enforce decisions that were best for the alliance as a whole. A serious push by the Japanese in 1941 and 1942 could have cut off supplies to the Soviets when they desperately needed them, and probably let the Germans push them out of the war. That would have left the US and UK in deep shit and been much better for Japan in the long run.

In a very left-handed way French and Walsh are not incorrect. Pointing out that it is expensive both in terms of blood and treasure to build and run an empire is true. The bullshit factor is that they never inform their readers that the price of empire is the representative democracy and civil liberties that they hold dear.
They would denigrate as ‘pussified’ the very idea that the planet could be run cooperatively (U.N. anybody?) instead of an authoritarian manner.

I personally like tomatillo. I use roasted tomatillos with roasted garlic (I try to have a 1:1 ratio with tomatillos and cloves of garlic). Then take a bunch of cilantro leaves (no stems). Chop or blend. Then roasted chiles or jalapenos to the heat I want. Then add Mexican oregano, cumin, salt and pepper. This also goes well with fish or chicken.
