Troglodyte meets Commie: An American bro-mance

A fantastic PSA (remember how corny they used to be) from KidRockVideos starring Sean Pean & Kid Rock as politically opposite archetypes coming together in the post-9/11 era and finding common ground.

True and honest patriots. And just when you thought that we’d never see real bipartisanship.

This is the kind of political bromance any freedom loving American could get behind.

God bless.

A warning to America

Think it won’t/can’t happen here?

Video of riots in Spain and the Spanish Government’s response.

Boy, do you have “full faith” in and offer a lot of credit to “the U.S. Government”.

From the gov’t: thanks! Good little sheeple!

“when we’ll see men dying of starvation around us, your heart won’t be of any earthly use to save them. And I’m heartless enough to say that when you’ll scream, “But I didn’t know it!” – you will not be forgiven.”

Morgan Freeman builds free speech wall: says ‘fuck Obama’. Prof demurs

 

Berlin Wall from Above (Photo credit: roger4336)

College professor (and his employer, the University) shows astounding levels of obtuseness – follows gutting of an ‘offensive’ ‘free speech wall’ (hint: it said “fU”‘ to dear leader Obama) with tearing down the entire wall. All the way down from Berlin, 1989 to this?

Thanks go out to the folks at Reason Magazine and the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) for this vid.

To die for: suicide and survival

Pissed (album) (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

This series takes a detour from Sniperhunter2012’s usual writing style.

Frequent visitors will observe that your correspondent attempts (as much as is possible) to write in the third person. I do this primarily to convey objectivity. This habit began because prior to launching Sniperhunter2012 I worked with a well known news, commentary, and lifestyle site whose editorial requirements demanded an objective, third person narrative.

This series cannot be written that way. The theme and subject are far too personal.

fair warning to readers: some may find the subject of this series upsetting or disturbing.

Last week I survived my second suicide attempt. Fifteen years ago I failed to die by hanging. Last week a bottle of prescription pills (not mine) was unsuccessful in taking me out. I’m not telling you to gain sympathy, for attention, or to be dramatic for drama’s sake.

As always I write for my own pleasure and insight. I do hope, however, that my comments on these failed attempts to end my life will grab the attention of folks who might, in some small way, benefit or learn from my difficulties. Perhaps they may gain something from my repeated failures. Maybe my anger is useful after all.

I’m fucking pissed at myself and pissed at God, you see.

Perhaps my anger and this tirade will find folks a hell of a lot more open to possibility than I was when I downed those pills and wrapped those ties around my neck.
