Bill Faith - "Aim High" My Friend
*** Update Sunday January 18, 2009 *** I should have added this link to Michelle Malkin's article. Also to Uncle Jimbo's post at BlackFive. Here are a whole bunch more:
Also, Bill's sister has requested donations be made to Soldier's Angels in lieu of flowers. Finally, I am unable to approve any comments left for Bill at other posts. Some of you already have posted elsewhere. If you wish to leave a comment for Bill please do so at this article, for which I am able to approve comments for. Thank You. ********************************************** It is with a saddened heart that I just heard from another Old War Dog, Zero Ponsdorf, that Michelle Malkin reported the death of Old War Dog founder and webmaster Bill Faith. I missed a couple of opportunities this year as I traveled through Southern Illinois, to stop and meet Bill in person. This is a mistake I will regret for the rest of my life. Through an electronic introduction from another Old War Dog, Jim Bartimus, I was introduced to Bill in July of 2005. It was then that Bill extended the invitation to join the Old War Dogs Blog, and it was the first type of anything in my adult lifetime I had ever joined. Bill could be cantankerous at times, often causing a bit of dissent among the ranks. But, I know that Bill’s life centered around two things: Old War Dogs and his Grandson. His Blogging and love of America, I can speak to. His abundant love for his daughter and grandson I will leave for others. Many years later, Bill and I discovered that I had preceded him into the Air Force by a mere week back in the summer of 1970, and that most of our time at Lackland AFB and afterward at Sheppard AFB, had overlapped. That’s where the similarity ended. Bill went on to serve in Vietnam, while I defended America from the frozen moonscapes of Alaska. I think it was our same age, military branch, and the fact that we were both Illinoisans, that caused Bill to always favor my writing and give it a little boost in the Blog position each day. In fact I was often embarrassed by the favoritism. Others, such as Russ Vaughn, JD Pendry, George “Rurik” Mellinger, William “1st Cav” Page and Zero Ponsdorf knew Bill longer and perhaps better than I, although most of us have been strangers to Old War Dogs for a couple of years now. A couple of years ago, Bill had entrusted the “keys” to the Old War Dogs Site with me and Russ Vaughn. I haven’t been in contact with Russ for some time, and I’m not sure how to proceed. Old War Dogs and Small Town Veteran were 100% Bill Faith. There is a part of me that says we should keep OWD going as a tribute to Bill, yet another that says it would only be a cheap imitation. As mentioned before, Russ and JD and perhaps a few others will have more to say on the topic. In closing, I simply want to say that Bill was a patriot, a loving father and grandfather, and a clear voice for veteran’s causes throughout the blogosphere. And for me personally, he was a friend and fellow Old War Dog. I will miss him. Mike Connelly |

He's What?
I’d like to take this opportunity to tell you just how damn smart I am. I mean, if you ignore most of the blog articles I have ever written, and omit my predictions of John McCain being dead in the water for the 2008 presidential nomination, I would like to point back to my December 2006 article, American Idol Mystique. That is where, months before a majority of the country had ever heard the name Barack Obama and well before this witless shoe shine and a smile declared for the presidency, I, The Gray Dog, spelled out exactly how and why Obama would ascend not only to the Democrat nomination but to the presidency itself. I even accurately foretold of the influence and role the Oprah would play. Fast forward to today. What brilliance, what prescience, what clairvoyance! But, now my position as Oracle of the dogoshphere is being challenged. With memories of Jeremiah Wright still lingering, Obama flip-flopping as he stretches his scrawny pencil neck toward the center, Michelle snarling and snapping at everyone, a trait quadrupeds such as myself find very attractive and now, the Reverend Jesse Jackson accusing Obama of talking down to black people and threatening to cut his … well you’ve probably watched the tape by now, conventional wisdom tells us this could be a close race and McCain might pull this out in a squeaker. Now, personally, I like to buck conventional wisdom, (which may play a small part with why I live in a dog house,) and would have been willing to bet on Obama’s ability to overcome these minor distractions. But when you add to all of this, the threat that Hillary’s supporters may break ranks and flock to McCain coupled with the fact that the Oprah has cooled her overt support of Obama due to the backlash of angry female fans who felt betrayed by the daytime Queen of Estrogen, and Obama’s presumed November miracle seems less certain. But, I believe in the Oprah. Or should I say, I believe in the power of the Oprah. She hasn’t backed a loser since Dr. Phil, and she’s not gong to make that mistake again. She also has powerful friends. In fact it is a very powerful and close friend of Oprah, one who may have provided Bill Clinton with the only thread of a legacy that has nothing to do with a blue dress, who could be called upon to resuscitate Obama’s faltering campaign. What will it take to make large West Virginian women in sensible shoes switch allegiance from Hillary to Obama? Who can influence the Stepford Wives of Oprahland to become adoring Obama-nuts? Perhaps a bad choice of terms if the secret service doesn’t apprehend Jesse pretty soon. None other than the Oprah’s close friend, author Toni Morrison. For those who are unaware, Ms. Morrison is very powerful. She won a Pulitzer Prize. But her real powers, just like the powers possessed by the Oprah, are derived from being both black and female. So, just as Toni salvaged Bill Clinton’s image by declaring him to be America’s First Black President, I predict that this very influential FOO (Friend of Oprah) will appear on the Oprah’s show before the end of this month to declare Obama, when elected, shall become America’s First Woman President! Think of the exquisite ironies. Will Michelle be shocked or surprised. I don’t think so, as she has all of the testosterone in the Obama family to begin with. On the other hand, the double slap in the face to Hillary has to leave her wondering why Toni Morrison has it in for her, again. (Clue: Toni’s just like the rest of us; she hates you too.) Finally, on this last point I’m torn. While it might have been entertaining to watch, Ms. Morrison’s declaration is certainly going to thwart any of Reverend Jackson’s recent plans. Although, I've heard rumors this has already been handled. Is this prescience or just another dog dream? |

The Conservative’s Quick Curative Coup
I’ve been thinking back to October 2006. It already seems like a lifetime ago. The Democrat’s October Surprise, Mark Foley, was dominating every twenty-four hour news cycle. Republicans recoiled in horror, Democrats drooled with insidious delight, Independents…. well Independents do what they always do and jumped onto what they perceived to be the winning bandwagon. In the end, the conservatives stayed home on Election Day and taught those pesky RINOs a lesson. And the lesson was… I’m not sure, but there was a lesson somewhere. Now, I’m hearing much the same rhetoric from conservatives; that perhaps America hasn’t learned its lesson yet. That lesson being… I’m still not sure, but even fellow VAV contributor, Zero Ponsdorf, recently posited in his post “Death by a Thousand Cuts, or Just Vote Democratic,” a concern America was in the beginning stages of an unavoidable collapse. Zero sets up his thesis with:
Whew! Don’t get me started. C’mon, Bush v. Gore? Bush v. Kerry? Where was the choice? I did what I felt had to be done: I voted for Bush twice, yet now all I have for my effort is this strange dichotomy of emotions known by almost anyone who has ever experienced a divorce. You know - one moment a wistful melancholy that pervades your senses allowing you to remember your ex (or president) with fondness, then after you sober up, you can’t for the life of you remember what you ever saw in that bitch (sonofabitch or president.) In fact you can’t believe you were ever married and spent evenings propagating the species with this subhuman slime. |

Independence Day Comes Early for Scooter
On a day when President Bush was otherwise busy gazing into Putin’s eyes still searching for a soul, he delivered a commutation of Scooter Libby’s prison sentence with the same boldness and passion as a kiss from your sister. “I respect the jury’s verdict,” Mr. Bush said in a statement. “But I have concluded that the prison sentence given to Mr. Libby is excessive.” Wow George! How about the entire The president had an opportunity to take bold action and give Libby the full pardon he deserved. Instead, Bush gave the very least he could, to a patriot who has given total dedication and loyalty to the president and his administration. In an article from March 8, 2007 at FrontPage.com, Ann Coulter wrote, “Criminal prosecution is a surrogate for political warfare, but in this war, Republicans are gutless appeasers. Bush has got to pardon Libby.”
Perhaps Bush is just weary from being such an easy punching bag for the Democrats for six and a half years. He looks as tired and worn down as his old man did near the end of just one term. I fear the president is punch drunk, and as such, is no longer capable of coherent thought. I know I am weary of this president. I have an answer to this problem in my next post; till then. |
In this case, not only does the President appear to be a gutless appeaser, I would have to amend that to stupid gutless appeaser. With approval ratings below freezing, Bush still appears to be afraid of losing some political capital that has been squandered and disbursed long ago. Even if there were a dime’s worth of this mystery capital left, did the President believe the Democrats would be any less excessive in their criticism of his commutation of sentence than they might have been over a full pardon? I don’t think so. John Conyers, Harry Reid and special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald wasted no time in vilifying the president’s decision to thwart their persecution of Libby. I’m sure the piling on will continue today. So, if you know you’re going to be pummeled, why not fire your best shot? Why this half-hearted effort?|

CH!CKEN SH!T
The Gray Dog’s Note: The following is inspired by a flurry of links I found in my email today, courtesy of Rurik, and today’s post, “I Guess Our Only Leaders Now Are In Uniform,” at one of my favorite BLOGS, Seaspook’s Rants. I am not pretentious enough to believe I am an authority on all matters military. I certainly have no expertise or specific knowledge which would allow me to formulate judgments about our top command structure as it pertains to such characteristics as leadership, strategic thinking or performance. I can only offer my less than expert opinions based upon anecdotal reporting and my less than perfect ability to gauge character based upon observing someone on a television screen. Having never let personal limitations prevent me from opining in the past, I am loathe to begin now, so here goes: FIRE ROBERT GATES NOW!! How in the hell can we expect this man to prosecute a global war on terror if he doesn’t have the stomach to mix it up with Carl Levin. Of course I’m referring to Gate’s feckless decision to withdraw Peter Pace’s re-nomination for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs last week because Sen. Levin, D-MI, threatened that the confirmation process for Pace would be contentious. What an absolute crock. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that Gates asked Levin for his pick to replace Pace. |

RE: "Death by a Thousand..."
I know I haven’t contributed as prolifically in the past few months to the BLOGS I am a member of, as is my normal wont to do. Not only was I suffering from a serious case of the mopes (otherwise known in the Gray Dog household as the “poor me(s)”,) but I also fell victim to a severe bout of writer’s block, a malady for which I’m sure more than a few visitors to any of these otherwise respectable sites would like to be revisited upon me soon. Yeah, I know, I haven’t exactly been a beacon of optimism and positive thinking since returning to the saddle in the past week or two. No, instead I’ve been whining and taking a lot of pot shots at Bush. (BTW, y’all ought to give it a try. I’ve found that thumpin’ ole ‘W’ is easier than swatting a watermelon with an ironing board. No wonder the Dhimmiwits have been piling on for so long.) But, I digress. The point I’m trying to get around to is that I feel for and empathize with zero ponsdorf in his latest missive, “Death By a Thousand Cuts: or Just Vote Democratic,” where he takes the position that we could and should hurry the inevitable demise of the U.S. by voting for Democrats next year. What is the aim of his strategy?

A Charlie Brown President
“From the AP: SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea on Friday warned it may strengthen its "self-defense deterrent," a term it usually uses to refer to its nuclear program, despite news that millions in frozen funds the country had sought as a condition to disarm was en route to its accounts.” Kim Jong-il is just the latest in a long succession of World leaders and Domestic Democrats to play the role of Lucy Van Pelt opposite the hapless, but lovable Charlie Brown as portrayed by a real-life hapless president. It really doesn’t matter who does it or how many times it occurs, it’s just natural to laugh each time someone snatches the football up at the last second. Poor

Evil Requires No Master; Just a Few Willing Accomplices.
The Gray Dog’s Note: I’m writing this to follow up on issues raised and responded to from my last post, “There Is No Us in U.S.” My discussion of evil is strictly confined to mere mortal men. I will leave any spiritual discussion of evil to theologians and others more competent than I to offer judgments. In my last article I discussed a couple of loosely defined demographic groups I hastily labeled “them” and “us.” Even without a detailed description, I don’t think anyone was mislead or mistaken as to the fact that I was simply identifying two groups of mere mortals whose major differences were rooted in moral, political and philosophical opposition. I, The Gray Dog and most of my cohorts, both bipeds and quadrupeds, are part of the group referred to as “us.” Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Hillary and all other crustaceans and slithering reptiles belong to the group known as “them.” However, a number of respondents to my article “There Is No Us in U.S.” in private emails and phone calls, referred to a more mystical group known simply as “They.” Unlike “us” and “them,” “They” appear to possess prescience and omnipotence close to a ten rating on the TDS (True Deity Scale,) therefore affording “They” the honor of capitalization. In my article, I expressed anguish over feelings of frustration, helplessness and betrayal. Responses to my rant ranged from “So, you’re having a bad day?” to “’They’, have been planning and plotting this for years! ‘We’ are so glad you have finally awakened.” I think “we” may be the subject of yet another post, but back to “They” for now. Now, as a BLOGGER, Forum Administrator and all around well heeled eDog, I find myself on a lot of strange email lists. One of the real odd-balls is a tax-evading, self-proclaimed Libertarian of a Conservative persuasion, who agrees with Rosie O’Donnell that Bush blew up the World Trade Center. Hat-Tip to my buddy Bill Faith for getting me on that list. How ya’ doin’ Harry? Continue reading "Evil Requires No Master; Just a Few Willing Accomplices." |

The Silenced Majority
Gray Dog’s Note: This article is a continuation of thoughts inspired by Rurik’s essay titled “Veterans as an Ethnic Minority,” originally posted at Old War Dogs in September 2006, and more recently holding its own page of honor at Veteran-American Voices. Actually, this article might be more appropriately deemed a variation on a theme or themes, as it also addresses Rurik’s sentiments in his post titled, “A Gathering of Eagles Against a Gathering of Vultures.” In either case, I hope that Rurik’s inspiration has been duly noted and appropriately attributed. If history is written by the victors, then image is assigned by the vocal. On February 22, 2007, Richard "Dick" Becker attended a press conference for "A Gathering of Eagles." Becker, the brother of Brian Becker, National Coordinator for the ANSWER Coalition, characterized past Conservative and veteran’s counter-protests of ANSWER rallies, as "pathetic." On March 17, 2007 we have both the opportunity and the obligation to dispel that charge. It is the moment to rise above the damning legacy of a “Silenced Majority.” In so doing, we will fulfill the obligation to ourselves and our fallen brothers and sisters to reclaim the honor the “Beckers” of this world would take from us. For too long, our silence has allowed our foes to establish a national agenda without opposition. We have ceded control of the media and allowed the socialist liberal enemies of America to mold an image of her defenders as the ignoble and ignorant peasantry of our society. We allow them to deny us the respect we deserve, because they tell us it is their right as Americans to do so. And, when a few of us speak or act in opposition to these pretend Americans, whose grandiose marches and displays of hatred and disdain for the very beliefs and institutions for which we have shed our blood, they call us pathetic.

Facing the Wall
When we band together on March 17, 2007, we will turn our back on those that have turned their backs on America. We will face the Wall. I have a new project that I hope will also “face” the Wall. Please read what has been posted at the original GOE forum, and hopefully will be posted in many locations this weekend: Fellow GOE Participants: Many of you have seen the Flash Video I literally threw together on a Saturday afternoon almost two weeks ago. If you have not, please click on http://thegraydog.org/?p=102. Your response has been both kind and overwhelming. I now have had an idea for a tribute video that would represent the ‘WHY” we are meeting this March 17, 2007. For me this could be the largest project I have taken on to date. What I am asking you for is help. This is perhaps the last time I will have such an opportunity to be able to communicate directly with such a large group of vets that would be required to pull off this project. So, here is the idea
If you are a fellow service member that does not have a picture of the person you wish to honor, I will include a separate section for just names. I cannot accept physical paper pictures. If you do not have a digital version, you can have your photos scanned at any business or office supply store such as Kinkos, Office Max, Office Depot or Staples. Either .jpg or .gif formats preferred. Please, nothing larger than 800 X 600 pixels. What I am trying to produce is a tasteful tribute that puts faces on the wall and will serve as a reminder of why we are going to be there on the 17th to defend and protect it. The actual length and scope of the project will largely depend upon your interest and response. If possible I will strive to have a product available prior to that weekend. What will the product be?
Please include your real name, address and if you feel comfortable a phone number. The initial video run time is scheduled to be 10 minutes. It will contain content on a first come, first serve basis. If you are interested and wish to participate please send digital pictures and other requested info to: Forum Administrators: Please broadcast email/pm to your forum members so that they can see this quickly and respond. Thank you. |

Google Your Tube
Last week, I put together a Flash video to help draw attention to “A Gathering of Eagles.” It has had an exceptional response at my site since it was first announced last weekend, and I have since made it available for others to use at their BLOGs and web sites with the request that no one post it at YouTube. I continue to read from people new to the Gathering of Eagles forum(s) and BLOG site asking, “Why don’t we post it at YouTube?”
Someone I have been associated with for a very long time has just decided to get back to blogging after a year hiatus. If you believe Google and YouTube are not anti-conservative please read “Bamgoogled” at Stop Liberals. |

Someplace new you'll want to visit often
Click the image, bookmark the site. You may have noticed already that the Old War Dogs pack has gotten a little smaller. There have been some "philosophical differences" behind the scenes for a while now but since Rurik and The Gray Dog have been decent enough not to air them publicly I'll follow suit. The Gray Dog will be contributing to the new site and to Old War Dogs, some of the Dogs who left the pack will be posting only at the new site, and you may have heard the last of some of the others altogether for all I know. I'll be linking to the new site on occasion and I hope they'll link back to OWD now and then. I'll allude to "philosophical differences" just enough to say I think OWD and Veteran-American Voices are aimed at ecosystem niches sufficiently different to allow both sites to prosper and I wish the new group well. *** Rurik's comment captures my sentiments toward the new site far better than I was able to express them myself:

A Loss for America is a Win for Democrats.
A few years ago, I mentioned to a friend, that I was concerned about a recent visit to my doctor. I explained to him that I was a bit unhappy over what I viewed as the doctor’s overly aggressive suggestions for changing my unhealthy lifestyle. After listening a few moments, my friend just smiled and said, “If you don’t like what your quack has to say, its time to find another quack!” It would appear that President Bush has received the same sage advice, prompting him to make more fourth quarter substitutions in Iraq than Bobby Ross made during Army’s loss to Navy last month. After sitting on a substantial first half lead, the jeers of restless fans on Capitol Hill became deafening as Dubya’s team continued a failed “stay the course” strategy of running the ball straight up the middle. Responding to fan pressure, Bush has now benched Casey and Abizaid and sent in Fallon and Petraeus with hopes that a last minute “Hail Mary” might swing momentum back in favor of the good guys. But, before the substitutes could even take the field, the Congressional officiating crew was blowing whistles and throwing yellow flags while screaming, “Too many players on the field!” Continue reading "A Loss for America is a Win for Democrats." |

American Idol Debuts
I am not a wizard or a pundit. But, as a former Illinois resident, I had the opportunity, missed by most of the country, to watch Barak Obama rise out of nowhere to become another lightweight ultra-liberal U.S. Senator from the state that gave us Carol Mosley Braun and Dick Durbin. Because of that experience, I was quick to point out his undeniable star quality when I wrote “American Idol Mystique” on December 3rd 2006. I now find it incredibly amusing if not prescient, that Obama should announce the formation of his “Presidential Exploratory Committee” on the same day that the newest season of “American Idol” debuts. |

Dear Nancy and the Three Fatheads.
[Webmaster's note: The Gray Dog mentioned in the comments on another post that he had a post at his personal site that he had decided was too "over the edge" for Old War Dogs. The Gray Dog and I need to talk. Dang it, Dog, just what kind of place do you think we're running here? Note to our readers: The latte bar's down the road. How 'bout some rotgut?]
