Burt,

I, too, was disappointed in the funeral arrangements. I wanted to hang him from his heels at ground zero and charge folks five bucks apiece to throw darts (or ham) at him, then give the proceeds to the victims' children.

I agree with your adjusted view of the Trump circus but you have to admit, the haircut was keeping him from being a viable candidate anyway.

Being dumb didn't keep BO from getting elected.

I wish the cartridges were rolled in pig fat prior to the mission. UBL should have been dumped in a pit with pig entrails. This way he would not meet the 72 virgins and the other madmen could not put up a shrine to him over the pit. Remember Muslims have to stay away from pigs. Some guy by the name of John Pershing used this procedure.

As for trump, my mother would have washed his mouth out with soap. Also Michelle Malkin had a column about Trump and his use of Eminent Domain. And don't forget his campaign donations to upchuck Schumer and other communists (oops democrats).

Why haven't y'all ever heard of...

Pigfish (Orthopristis chrysoptera) are in the grunt family:

Redmouth grunt, Orthopristis chrysoptera

Golden-spot hogfish, Bodianus perditio

Red pigfish, Bodianus unimaculatus

Hopefully they didn't get too sick feasting off the remains of the heinous villain OBL.

As for The Donald. He is nothing more than an attention whore. Entertaining but not to be taken seriously.

The only logical reason for objecting to photo voter IDs is enabling voter fraud. In spite of 80% of all Texans favoring it, RINOs and Democrats in the previous session of the Texas legislature managed to prevent passage of a photo voter ID law. Many of them were dumped in the last election and the resulting GOP super-majority got the job done.

Note to race pandering politicians: Hispanics and blacks are more than 20% of Texas' population.

I couldn't agree more. They give him a proper burial after he murdered 3,000 Americans and our troops in the middle east. If I had my way I would have wrapped his body in pigskin dripped it in pig blood, and have his body dragged through the streets of New York City to Ground Zero. We would then burn his body underneath a Cross. I know that is a little bit overboard, but the man killed so many innocent people. He would deserve every bit of it.

I know this has been a bad week for Republicans. Burt, you even say so in your opening paragraph. You wish it would have been Bush. Sorry buddy, it was Obama (not torture) that got Osama. Yep, the black man that you thought was not born here did the job the rich white guy could not. Another 245,000 jobs created as well. Maybe your party just stinks at what it trys to do???

Good Day

War is barbaric, but we try not to be barbaric in waging war. That's about the only excuse I can come up with as to why we didn't run rounds through pig fat or do all those other things that would gratify our sense of vengeance. Not that our "compassion" is understood by Islamists or the leftists.

From a Reuters Article "Although Obama has cautioned against triumphalism over bin Laden's death, even his political opponents seem willing to let him savor it."

. Like we've got a choice?

Exactly Burt, why is it, especially in CA, when all citizens are asked to prove who they are it's violates the rights of "minorities" but not the rest of us who make up less than 50% of our state?

And Trump? He is just a self promoter who isn't interested in anything but just that. If he talks to conservatives he can sound conservative and if he needs liberal politicians' favors to achieve his business goals he donates to their campaigns. Nothing to see here folks, keep moving.

Who says the SEALs didn't dip their bullets in pig blood or coat them with pig fat? How do we know that some pissed off sailor didn't shove a piece of pork in OBL's trap before wrapping his dirty arse in a white shroud? C'mon people---our military is not stupid. If either was done you will never hear about it; it's one of those secrets the warriors will take to the grave.

BTW, why has no one considered that BO didn't release the pics of OBL because they would clearly show the rat was hit with a very well placed hollow point bullet which, to my understanding, is a violation of the Geneva Convention which requires all military to use FMJs? Yeah, like terrorists adhere to the Convention---NOT!

I agree with Burt regarding Trump's mouth. A true statesman can get his ideas across with biting commentary and witticisms--- like Burt! "...liberals only use their brains to keep their ears apart" Darn you are good Burt!

"I'd have wrapped his cremated remains in a pigskin and then had a midshipman punt him off the poop deck."

If it were my call, I'd have had him dismembered, wrapped in the above mentioned pigskins and airdropped into the heart of Mecca. Not like that is going to make them hate us any more or any less than they already do; so, hey salt on the wound, insult to injury anyone?

As for the voter IDs yes! I agree with one of the posters above that the ONLY reason it's not a favorite idea of the left is because it would cut down on their ability to raise the dead and allow them to vote.

Actually Jason, my understanding is that O'Bambo didn't have the cojones to give any kill order other than muttering "Present". It was Panetta, Petraeus and a shrieking banshee of a H CLinton that threatened a coup unless the spineless weasel ordered the hit.

ps - I hear your phone, Jason - Is that Media Matters calling for you.

West Coast liberal entertainers and East Coast liberal journalists/"intellectuals" always portray conservatives from Middle America and the South as crude yokels. Always have.

Thank you for setting the record straight, Burt.

Burt: Although I don't often comment, I always read your columns with appreciation for wisdom combined with humor. Your first paragraph really summed it up--obama managed to cram so many I and we pronouns into his speech that you would have thought he was at the compound with our truly brave SEAL team. The kudos belong to them and the dedicated professionals who tracked down the essential information. Regarding voter identification, that seems like such a no brainer. Even a grocery store can ask for ID if you are shopping where they don't know you. But then, maybe buying essentials such as toilet paper or X-Lax is more important than casting a vote for president. Regards from Alaska.

Jason: One, it was apparently enhanced interrogations under Bush that led to bin Laden's whereabouts.

Two, another 245,000 jobs pales when compared to a rise in the unemployment rate from 8.8% to 9%. And that's two years after the trillion dollar stimulus bill that Obama promised would bring the rate down to under 7%.

Three, the reason that anyone ever questioned where Obama was born because he made such a production out of keeping his birth certificate, along with his college application and college transcripts, under lock and key. As for his being black, I think the response to Herman Cain's appearance at the GOP debate proves once and for all that we conservatives don't have a problem getting behind a black politician, so long as he isn't corrupt, a Socialist and/or a racist. By the way, how do you and your left-wing cronies feel about Thomas Sowell, Ward Connerly, Walter Williams, Shelby Steele and Allen West? Seems to me that you folks refer to them, as you did to Condoleezza Rice, as oreos or Uncle Toms.

You should probably keep your distance if you're going to insist on checking your brains and your honesty at the door, Jason. Unless, of course, you just enjoy being smacked down.

Burt

The problem with libs like Jason is they will never admit defeat. If they lose, it must be because conservatives cheated. As for bin Laden, yes, we should have coated our bullets in lard. We also should have just knee-capped him rather than pop him in the melon. Then take him up to 3000 ft. over Mecca in the chopper, stick a ham-hock in his mouth and kick him out the door. That way, he knows right up to the instant of his death that he will not be entering paradise. Then collect his body, bury it in the desert, and saturate the ground with pig's blood for a thousand yards in every direction. Then a tombstone that says "What happens to cowards who prey on the innocent" in English, Arabic, and Farsi.

Burt---didn't you tell me it was unwise to banter with a Democrat/Libtard?

Your response to Jason could have been simply this: "Moving on, more often than not, folks would do well to keep in mind that liberals only use their brains to keep their ears apart." Jason demonstrates this concept beautifully! Of course, hw also "removes all doubt".

OK, so who do YOU think can defeat the Obummer? At least with DONALD TRUMP, what you see is what you get. True, about the 'potty mouth' but I at least tweeted him about that and asked him to clean up his verbal usage... Now, what about the REAL issues involving the economy, China, immigration control, unemployment, high gas prices,etc..I feel Donald Trump is addressing those issues quite well...AND,...That is a lot better than the LIES, the secrets, and the disrespect for our constitution that we are getting from Obummer...I am aware of which gentlemen want to run for the office of the Presidency, been there-done that with those guys. We need a winner!...May I ask, who do you purpose can DEFINITELY defeat the Obummer in 2012..Everyone I know wants BO out of there yesterday...

Is it just me or did anyone else notice how in 2001 the media spelled it as -Osama, but after 2006 (coincidentally, when Obama came out of obscurity) Osama as often as not, became -Usama?

enema: I noticed, but I refused to cave in.

Marilyn: I believe Herman Cain can defeat Obama, but I suspect whoever garners the GOP nomination will get the job done. Obama was lucky to win in 2008 because millions of voters didn't pay any attention. By 2012, nobody will be able to say they're voting for a pig in a poke. They'll know exactly what sort of pig they're being asked to re-elect.

Merry: I did tell you not to banter with libs. But, one, I wasn't bantering, I was smacking down; and, two, it's what I do, so that you don't have to waste your time.

It must be hard to function in the real world, you being so delusional and gullible and all. I wish I could say I feel sorry for you, but I don't. It's people like you that drank the juice and refused to come out of the candyland fairy dust unicorn rainbow hallucinations and see what zero really is.

Jason, interesting that you brought race into this. How exactly is that relevant? And they are BOTH rich, you silly liberal. What exactly is your point here? Are you trying to prove that black people can do what white people can? Everyone already knows that, and you just ended up patronizing Obama.

By the way, it was Obama's reluctant use of Bush policies that got Osama--Middle Eastern presence, Guantanomo, and advance interrogation techniques. Also, it was the extension of Bush tax cuts that has started our economic recovery. It seems that the one time BHO should 'blame Bush', he is not going to. The one man that should take zero credit is taking all the credit. Pathetic.

Jason is proof of Berts contention that a liberals brain is there to keep the ears apart.

Another thing that resides in the 6 inches between the liberals ears is hot air to assist in keeping their heads in the clouds.

To all that responded to Jason:

Thanks for the laughs. You all made my point very clear. You are so embarrassed by this job being done by Obama that you can't stand it.

Burt-

A very thank you for the laughs in your 1, 2, 3 point response.

1) No, there is no evidence that enhanced interrogation was responsible for the lead to bin Laden; but nice try!

2) The continued job growth, especially in the private sector is a direct result from the Obama policies; not the made up "trickle down" tax cuts will save all policies you like so much; again nice try!

3) No need to respond. By your statement you have embarrassed yourself enough with this one!

I hope you all have a good day, continue to watch Fox News, and continue to disregard facts. Now, I have to stop crying I am laughing too hard!

Good Day!

Burt,

Nice smackdown re: Jason's inane post...he must have gotten lost looking for Rachel...

Stoney: I don't get the Jason/Rachel reference. Must be my age. But I was glad to see that Jason got the message. At least I assume that's why he didn't answer the bell and come out of his corner for round two.

Burt

Yeah Jason, racking up more federal debt and deficit than all preceding administrations combined, handing over hundreds of billions of our dollars to failed or failing industries, continuing the decades long assault on our Constitution and individual rights in new and exciting ways, adding more racism and division within our govt policies (not even mentioning his personal actions) and managing to manipulate reality and factual information in cramming Obamacare through congress even with 60+% of the electorate literally screaming to "just stop!" are quite a list of accomplishments.

However, only the brain dead among us could turn all this around and envision it as progress :>/

Kim Steele

Re: Jason,

Always easy for Liberals to an assign blame or deflect to others when the going gets tough (e.g., Obama blaming Bush for two+ years), and just as easy for wimpy, craven liberals to assign praise where no praise is due (e.g., Giving Obama and the liberal credit for Bin Laden and the recent economic upturn).

Have you considered my mind-twisted, very befuddled Liberal friend that the jobs outlook and economy started picking up just after Republicans took control of the house? Have you considered that business would hire people more because liberals like you won’t take more of their money for reinvestment and infrastructure into their companies? Now tell me my confused liberal friend, it could have nothing to do with, say, Republican policies on debt reduction, lower taxation on businesses, less government spending, smaller federal government, less federal government intrusion into the markets, and the like philosophies of conservatives and Republicans?

Jason I can only assume you are benefitting somehow from the tax payers by liberal policies.

So please feel free to Cathart and get it off your chest. Tells us my very myopically minded liberal friend, what is it you are getting from the US Tax-Payers? Come on now, you can do it! It will feel good to get it off your chest and free yourself from your twisted, brain-washed mind.

Dolt! :) LOL And you say we are the un-educated.

Never mind wasting time with Jason. Best to just ignore stupid comments. What pleases me about bin Laden is to now think of him as fish feces!

Burt, if one was to really take "Jason" seriously, they would:

1. Believe Obama himself led the USN Seals and flew one of the helicopters singlehandedly on the OBL attack.

2. Believe Obama himself pulled the trigger both times.

3. Believe 10+% national unemployment is actually good for the county.

4. Believe laughter is for liberals only and embarrasment is a conservative norm.

5. Believe your rear end is what you show, not your brain, when you vote.

"If it had been up to me, I'd have wrapped his cremated remains in a pigskin and then had a midshipman punt him off the poop deck." I love you Burt, plain and simple.

Just a note about how utterly, amazingly funny Libs are: About 2 years ago, while running for public office (I lost, thank goodness!) I was told by a Liberal with a straight face that all the people sucking up welfare checks are actually doing the rest of us a favor. He said there aren't enough jobs to go around, and if the guys taking government handouts were to actually look for work, we'd all be scrambling for the same half-dozen opportunities. He really believed it too. Of course, he was drunk and possibly brain damaged. I can't remember his name, but it wouldn't surprise me to discover it was Jason.

Going back to the Muslim outrage over OBL's way-too-respectful burial at sea:

Haven't we been lectured for ten damn years that Osama bin Laden WASN'T a real Muslim, that his terrorist activities had nothing to do with Islam, that in fact Islam is a "religion of peace" that would have nothing to do with al Qaeda? Then why should they care that the US Navy, after kindly arranging bin Laden's rendezvous with his 72 virgins, didn't follow every jot and tittle of Muslim burial rituals? You would think they would be grateful that we were NOT automatically associating this terrorist with the Muslim cult.

But it's going to be OK. Since Obama decided on all our behalf that releasing the death photos of a non-Muslim might inflame the peaceful sentiments of Muslims, I'm sure they are thoroughly un-inflamed now. They will have by now seen that we mean them no harm, and gone back to loving America as much as they ever did.

Jason, in his stunning ignorance, actually believes he's better informed than those of us who work hard at being genuinely informed.

"1) No, there is no evidence that enhanced interrogation was responsible for the lead to bin Laden; but nice try!"

Actually, the statements of every CIA director from the present on down to the Clinton years indicates that enhanced interrogations are effective. Moreover, the statements of the last 4 CIA directors, including Panetta, show that enhanced interrogations not only led to the information that resulted in the raid on bin Laden, but allowed us to disrupt and ultimately stop numerous terrorist attacks on US soil in the years following 9/11. If Jason bothered reading something besides PBS and Huff-Po, he'd know that.

"2) The continued job growth, especially in the private sector is a direct result from the Obama policies; not the made up "trickle down" tax cuts will save all policies you like so much; again nice try!"

Jason is shockingly ignorant of the fact that private sector jobs have declined since Obama took office, and that only public sector jobs have seen a noticeable increase. Moreover, while economically-ignorant fools mock "trickle-down" economics, they never get around to even trying to defend trickle-up poverty, which is the result of Socialist economic failures. Jason, being so much smarter than us po' dumb Conservatives, can no doubt explain why Socialism NEVER works. It's never worked, anywhere. And Jason can tell us why.

"3) No need to respond. By your statement you have embarrassed yourself enough with this one!

I hope you all have a good day, continue to watch Fox News, and continue to disregard facts. Now, I have to stop crying I am laughing too hard!"

Jason knows this is not a rebuttal at all. He's just hoping nobody notices he's done nothing but deflect and distract with vitriol because he has no facts to support his case. For the record, the ONLY reason there was ever any "controversy" about Obama's birth certificate was because he -- and only he -- kept the issue alive. To deny that is to deny objective reality. Jason can cry all he wants, but it's not going to change the facts.

And notice as well, how he failed to respond to Burt's question regarding Sowell and other prominent black Conservatives. Liberals hate that question because they're forced to ignore it, otherwise they'd have to admit that they consider Sowell et al to be race traitors, "Uncle Toms," "Oreos" and worse. The Leftist literature is FILLED with examples of that racist attack. Jason knows it, which is why he resorted to the deflection.

Now, I heard that before he was dumped over the side they'd stuffed a pulled pork sandwich sopping in bbq sauce in his mouth and shoved a kosher sausage up his other end.

As for Trump, if he choses to speak like the lowest form of street scum, he can stay living with them. I'm just glad I heard the news before I posted my contribution to his campaign.

If they were going to do a burial at sea with all the customs a law abiding Muslim would expect, I wish it would have been performed in the Atlantic Ocean within eyeshot of where the Twin Towers once stood. That way Americans and especially NYers with a notion could take a short cruise to pay their own respects by dumping bacon, ham etc. and performing numerous bodily funtions in the general vicinity. What a tourist boon that would have been!

Burt;

I agree w/ you & your readers on all counts save Jason. In my book, he is reincarnated odious Odin, the loser parading now as the Jason of the Argonauts.

Losers, bullies & other assorted cowards must pretend to themselves to be demi-gods.

Ignore him (them) y'all.

Robert: You could well be right. Jason and Odin do share an obvious, odious style. If Jason keeps coming back or begins referring to conservatives as zombies, we'll know for certain.

Burt

Now this is just way too funny! You have all got me really laughing. There is nothing as funny as Republicans that get proven wrong, and then try to defend there previous position with false information.

Hey MichaelSSEC-

Your comments will be shared. There is no way I keep this sort of funny nonsense to myself!

Thanks again!

GWB wouldn't have taken credit? He would never put on the flight jacket and strut across the flight deck under a banner "Mission Accomplished". No, not dubya.

Jason: For some of us, there is nothing as funny as liberals who don't know the difference between "there" and "their."

Ray: As a reality check,compare Bush's statement when Saddam Hussein was captured with Obama's "I, me, my" statement after bin Laden was exterminated.

Burt

The only problem with the killing of Bin Laden was how quick it was. He never knew what hit him and was dead before he hit the floor. I would have much rather him gut shot so he could have suffered for awhile.
