The Underground Conservative

Berkeley’s at it again:
The City of Berkeley, California has passed two resolutions attacking the United States Marine Corps, calling the Marines, “uninvited and unwelcome intruders in the city.”
The Berkeley City Council voted to condemn the Marines on Tuesday night (January 29th) as part of a campaign by anti-war activists to shut down a U.S. […]

I haven’t said much about who I’d like to see as President. Until now.
I had initially liked Duncan Hunter because of his conservative creds. But unfortunately, he found little traction in a hostile media so he bowed out.
My next choice, Fred Thompson, did poorly in his must-win state, South […]

This item, via Michelle Malkin, has me (a proud Army veteran) seeing red:
In response to a Marine Corps recruiting office established in Berkeley last year, local activists are trying to make it more difficult for future recruiting centers to open in the city.
If passed by a majority of Berkeley voters, a proposed initiative would […]

…thanks to our left-wing:
Cuba’s state-run oil company, Cubapetroleo, has inked a deal with China’s Sinopec to explore for oil in its half of the Florida Strait and is using Chinese-made drilling equipment to conduct the exploration. Since oil fields do not respect international boundaries, Cuba and others will be pumping petroleum that should be […]

John McCain gets endorsed by the New York Times today (for the primary, mind you). As if he didn’t already have enough problems with conservatives…
Below is some of what the NY Times said about McCain, with our comments in italics. Oh, BTW, a big “Thank You” to Michelle Malkin for noting this […]

With all the recent excitement over the Billary-Obama feud, the Nevada caucuses and South Carolina primary, and my own early voting in my home state of Florida, I’d almost forgotten about the Louisiana caucuses last night. Michelle Malkin has the (bad) news:
Senator John McCain has won the Republican party’s caucuses in Louisiana while […]

British comedian Pat Condell, an avowed atheist, sounds off on a Canadian Muslim student group’s attempt to squelch free speech via Canada’s legal system (link goes to a NY Post article on the same topic).
The video below is PRICELESS!!

News from Spain today of a potential terrorist attack thwarted:
Islamic radicals may have been plotting attacks in Barcelona, Spain’s Interior Minister Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba said on Saturday, after police found bomb-making materials and arrested 14 South Asians.
Rubalcaba told a news conference civil guard police found explosives and other equipment during raids on five […]

The military-hating lawyer I blogged about in yesterday’s post, Jay Grodner, had his day in court today and here’s what happened according to a reader at Michell Malkin’s blog:
Long story short, he has to pay $600 to a Semper Fi Fund (Marine [Corps] fund for the wounded) and he has to report for Social […]

As a veteran (Army) myself, this story rankles me.
Sgt. Michael McNulty, a 26-year-old Marine from Chicago, had his car keyed allegedly by a jerkball lawyer as he visited a friend before he left for his second tour in Iraq.
Charges against the lawyer, 55-year-old Jay Grodner, might be upgraded to a felony, […]

…or a taste of things to come should Hitlery Clinton win the presidency?
“My name is Hillary and I am so pleased to have most of you on board,” she said. “FAA regulations prohibit the use of any cell phones, Blackberries or wireless devices that may be used to transmit a negative story about […]

Try saying that headline three times fast.
Seriously, I didn’t make the cut with my entry yesterday, but the competition was real good. Kudos to the entries that made Michelle’s blog.
And thanks to Brian Ledbetter at snapped shot, who posted my entry.

Patterico’s Pontifications (a blog I added to the blogroll, BTW) started a contest today, asking readers to fisk a New York Times editorial against an Indiana law that would require voters to have a photo ID.
I took a stab at it in the comments section. But I went through too much work […]

Off-topic: I get a weekly e-mail with the most searched keywords of the previous week, courtesy of Wordtracker.
This week, word number 81 was “__bfc_off george bush.” I wondered what that meant and–thinking it was a new way for libs and other Bush-bashers to abbreviate “f off Bush,” I Googled it.
I […]

My submission to Michelle Malkin’s Let’s make fun of Mao blog entry:

Stop the presses! Her Royal Thighness Hitlery Clinton has just announced her choice for Vice President: Terrell Owens!

The MSM succeeded in getting Admiral Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff–the highest ranking military man in the U.S. military (remember, he’s outranked by SECDEF and CINC/POTUS)–to admit that he thinks the terrorist prison at Guantanamo Bay should be closed.
Asked why he thinks Gitmo should be closed, Admiral Mullen says: […]

Enjoy the following Democrats for Change 2008 pic. Feel free to copy for your own site, all I ask is that you link back to The Underground Conservative.

All around the town I live, I see Ron Paul 2008 signs. Most of these signs are illegally placed (code violations) in street medians, and on private property (usually properties where the owner lives elsewhere.
I mention this because a Ron Paul supporter posted his/her/its sign at a McDonald’s drive-thru, one I just […]
