Conservatives Love McSally’s Brutal Media Diss

Conservatives Love McSally’s Brutal Media Diss

I had pretty much written off Martha McSally as a loser, a sure loss of the crucial Arizona Senate seat she got handed after flubbing a campaign to win the state’s other one, but it looks like I was wonderfully wrong. Somewhere along the line, McSally got woke, calling a liberal hack from CNN a “liberal hack” and inspiring a million Dem-loving media tears. It was glorious, and overdue. McSally laid out that simpering microphone jockey and showed that maybe she can take the fight to her gun-stealing, socialist-tolerating astronaut opponent and keep our seat.

Fredocon cruise director Bill “Ahoy” Kristol and the usual suspects wet themselves over her show of awesomeness – as a conservative, that’s a mighty credibility boost right there. By the way she owned her play and milked it for earned media afterwards, it looks like she figured out that she’s got zero chance if she’s just another GOP weenie too frightened by the over-paid, under-successful consultant class suits surrounding her to toss a haymaker at some punk reporter. It’s about time.

She used to be an Air Force A-10 pilot, riding a 30mm cannon into battle. I know from a pal who was an underclassman that she was a beast to her charges at the Academy (he says she’s top notch, but he’s also Air Force so you gotta factor that in). 

Yet, like most career military going into politics, she was pretty useless for a long time, just sort of stumbling through, losing a key election and generally being nice and polite and open-minded and across-the-aisle reaching.

Ugh. Never go full Romney.

McSally is a literal hero, in military terms – an example to be emulated. But as a Republican senator, she just wasn’t getting it done. And she needed to hear that. She needed to unleash the Thunderbolt II pilot that was in there somewhere, buried under layers of consultant goo, just waiting for a chance to send a volley of figurative depleted uranium rounds at some Democrat lackey with a mic and a ‘tude.

Target acquired; target destroyed.

She needed to show us that she was willing to win.

Looks like she did, right Manu?

A lot of people are puzzled about why military vets so often disappoint us hardcore cons. Here’s the thing – most senior military people are not hardcore conservatives. They are mostly moderate squishes, and a disturbing number actively cavort with the libs. McSally’s Democrat opponent is one – he wants to take your guns and money and make sure the Supreme Court is full of judges who support abortion on a whim. And he must be stopped.

Remember that a lot of Republican vets who were fearless on the battlefield turn to gelatin in the political arena. They don’t bring that killer instinct to the fight in DC, and that’s no surprise. At the War Colleges (she went to the Air Force one, I went to the Army one) they teach you less about war than about how to behave so you don’t scare the civilians you have to work with at that level. Treating the members of the mainstream media like exactly what they are, with all the contempt they have earned – especially CNN – is not on the syllabus.

“But gee Kurt, you were a colonel too. Why are you so…uninhibited, while so many other retired officers seem reticent and unwilling to brawl?”  

Well, I’m a civilian litigator, and I was a reservist at the end (it’s a very different vibe than active duty, and I’ve done both), and I’m just a contrary SOB. Plus, I hung out with Andrew Breitbart.

McSally was on her way to losing again, but she has now demonstrated the requisite wokeness to take the attack to the enemy. She saw she drew blood and moved in for the kill, grabbing up the domain name liberalhack.com and using it to sell t-shirts. She’s fundraising off the viral vid and the media meltdown that followed. Arizona Republicans are thinking, “Maybe she’s not a loser after all.”

That’s crucial. McSally knows how essential morale is. If you are a commander and you are tepid, soft, and indecisive, your troops are going to resign themselves to defeat. But if you draw your saber, leap to the front, and shout “Follow me!”, they will – right through the gates of Hell.

This was a key moment for McSally. She was behind (but usually within the margin) and losing. Now, her voters are energized. She’s changed the paradigm and got inside the enemy’s OODA Loop. She needs to take it in for the win.

What she can’t do is doubt herself. What she can’t do is listen to the whiny sissies of the media sobbing uncontrollably because the mean senator said a mean thing to one of the media mean girls.

There’s a new Senator McSally in town, and we cons like her. What she did to Durwood R. Murrow was perfect. The only thing way she could have made it better is by preceding “liberal hack” with an obscene adjective.

The kind of nightmare world McSally’s gun-hating nanny lib opponent wants to create is chronicled in my newest novel Collapse. Check it out along with the other entries in the series, People’s Republic, Indian Country and Wildfire. America has split into red and blue, and both action and liberal-slamming hilarity ensue! The Never Trump losers call my books “appalling,” which is all you need to know.

Can’t wait til’ conservatives start conserving their own country.

Q: You supported an immigration bill in 2015, in which you opposed defunding DACA, and, in fact, you supported a path to citizenship for the DREAMers. Now you oppose the migrant caravan coming in as refugees. Have you been inconsistent on this issue?

MCSALLY: I have been consistently leading on this issue as the Border Security Subcommittee chair. This is a difficult issue. But when the president kicked DACA to Congress, appropriately, we worked together, to lead, to identify a solution that secures the border, closes these legal loopholes, moves us more towards a merit- based system, and does something on DACA. This is what we worked on to bring to the floor. Unfortunately, we couldn’t get it passed. But we’re going to keep working on it, because the border still needs to be secured. These loopholes still need to be closed. And I’m going to continue to lead on this when I’m in the Senate. Even though Washington, D.C., moves on the other topics, we still have to address this issue.

“And that’s why I am a proud and vocal supporter of U.S. security assistance to Israel. Our partnership with Israel ensures American interests in the Middle East are protected by our friend who shares our commitment to democracy and human rights. And U.S. annual security assistance to Israel, which you all advocate for, comprises a significant portion of Israel’s defense budget.

In addition to that, the U.S. Missile Defense Agency works with their Israeli counterparts to ensure that the Jewish state purchases missile defense technology built right here in America to keep its citizens safe and secure. Those purchases add up. Raytheon, in my district, employs about 10,000 people in Tucson and works with more than 500 suppliers across the state, and Israeli purchases contribute to a major portion of the $2.1 billion economic impact that Raytheon brings to Arizona each year.

If Israel is a modern-day David, I’m glad to know that my district and my state play a crucial role in ensuring that our hero comes to the fight better equipped than ever before, because David’s Sling helps Arizona develop new technologies.

They boost our economy, and they keep all our citizens safe and secure. And that’s Israel in my state. Thank you all. God bless you. ”

A warthog pilot going in for the kill….

Douchebag calls herself a “fighter pilot” at every opportunity. She is most certainly NOT a fighter pilot. An A10 is a unique attack airplane in our inventory, a tank killer extraordinaire. She has always struck me as a nasty little bitch.

Shut up. The poor defenseless fighter pilot, on her climb up the chain of command, was brutally raped by a superior and said nothing. Have you no respect for the victimhood of the victim?

https://news.yahoo.com/sen-mcsally-ex-air-force-pilot-says-officer-194655402–politics.html

McSally said she did not report being raped because she did not trust the system, and she said she was ashamed and confused. She said she was impressed and grateful to the survivors who came forward to help change the system. She was in the ninth class at the Air Force Academy to allow women, and said sexual harassment and assault were prevalent. Victims mostly suffered in silence, she said.

And a huge number of victims are male (in all branches of the military). Don’t EVER let your children join the military.

A better drama whore than a pilot , no doubt. FWIW I would not fly with a woman or ever vote for one.

Contrary to McSally’s claims, according to many “in the squadron,” reports one A-10 pilot, knew “in fact that Amy hated McSilly because she always required “special” treatment. Amy wanted to earn her way in life due to her merits, not special handouts. McSilly created a situation where she actually decreased the 354FS combat capability due to her lack of interest (and frankly capability) in being a good CAS pilot and made it more difficult for the other women who have followed her into the A-10 community. McSilly interjected herself into the Craig Button suicide when in fact Craig had no contact with her at DM (they were stationed together at Laughlin AFB TX, same thing they were not friends). She tries to make herself sound like a hero by highlighting her role in a tragedy.

It is that feeling of inauthenticity that has caused McSally to fail in her previous runs at Congress, according to southern Arizona residents. She seemingly appeared out of thin air when Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords announced her retirement, and other than a handful of spots given on a few small community boards handed to her by GOP establishment members, McSally has never established herself as a member of the community with any vested interest in it other than it has a vulnerable congressional seat.

Arizona Senator John McCain is one of the powerful forces behind her. ”

She reminds me of another military pilot with a last name that started with McCa…

Good write-up.
And, yeah, it should’ve been noticed, and glad it picked up some momentum.

Classic example of Push Back!

Kudos to anudder Marta, and Schlick for spreading the news.

Mark Kelly is a narcissistic fool who shouldn’t be anywhere near a Congressional seat. Much of what he does is self-promotion for media attention.

Better to have McSally in the senate than Kelly. Still, when considering this verbal dustup that has Schlichter so joyful, remember ol’ McCain (piss be upon him) who campaigned on “build the dang fence” but then thwarted it at every turn and campaigned on overturning Obamacare but then voted to keep it. It’s not what they say, it’s what they do.

Too bad she is a shill for the military complex

Kirsten Sinema (D) (thus far) is at least as conservative as McSally is. The establishment chose McSally. Kelly Ward was my choice but the establishment ran Joe Arpaio to dilute the primary vote and they backed McSally with money.

ANYONE who does not see her remark for what it is: (cheap red meat) is probably a sycophant of Trump too.
She stated the obvious. If she would have said it to someone like Chris Wallace or Christopher Wray, that would have been noteworthy.

Now being 100% accurate and truthful if somewhat understated is brutal.
