If it tells you how unhinged Gaffney is, he doesn't even write at The Corner at the National Review anymore because he's gone completely off the reservation and has become an embarrassment to thoughtful conservatives. And batpoop loonies like Andrew McCarthy write at The Corner. If McCarthy has a platform there, can you imagine how deranged you must be to get banned from there?

He lives in a world where the new Missile Defense Agency logo is a coded message to al-Qaeda that we surrender to Sharia Law and where possession of a crescent wrench is indication of sympathy for Lashkar e-Tayiba.

This is one of the craziest friggen' ideas I've ever seen on teh Intertoobz. The fact that you were a DASD during my tenure in the Navy is terrifying to me.

I resent the implication that a) Black shoes are dumb (You won't find a lot of Rhodes Scholars below decks), and b) that the black shoes are incapable of behaving in a professional manner. I have been below decks, I can say right now that the majority of sailors will a) welcome their gay brethren or b) hold their tongue and carry on in a professional manner.

Those that can't handle the Navy's commitment to treating gays with equality and dignity should go find another profession.

There is no honor in beating and torturing a defenseless prisoner. An honorable man would honor his oath and follow the laws as set forth in the Geneva Convention on the Treatment of Prisoners and the UCMJ.

And, due to his Article 32 conviction, the US Army wholeheartedly and unreservedly agrees with my position, or should I say, I wholeheartedly and unreservedly agree with the US Army's position.

If you support Al West's torture of a prisoner, then you cannot complain when the Taliban or Zawahiri cuts the head off of a prisoner and posts it on You Tube.

It was a fair exchange - Israel gives a racist, quasi-fascist, pariah regime the bomb and South Africa gives Israel tips on how to set up an Apartheid state - everyone is happy all around!

You know who also beat prisoners on a regular basis? Nazis and Communists.

You are pretty dense if you think I blog about the Russian Navy because I like the Russians. In fact, I dislike the Russians intensely because much of their military and government is infected with the same demented mentality that infects scumbags like Al West.

I do not want the military that I served in for 20 years to become more like the Red Army, and idiots like Al West push it in that direction.

Woverines! I have a feeling we'll be hearing that phrase a lot during Obama's second term as conservatives go full treasonous.

No. I share Ronald Reagan's dream of eliminating the scourge of nuclear weapons from the face of the Earth, and it is a cause the United States must take the lead in.

Plus, there will be no lasting peace in the Middle East until Israel verifiably gives up its nuclear stockpile and we offer Israel to shelter under our nuclear umbrella until complete and total and verifiable world disarmament is acheived.
