Bah...those harpies couldn't begin to fill a real Valkyrie's breastplate.

They are called the Amazon Warriors, the Lady Hawks, the Valkyries, the Durgas.
There is something positively mythological about a group of strong women swooping down to shake the president out of his delicate sensibilities and show him the way to war. And there is something positively predictable about guys in the White House pushing back against that story line for fear it makes the president look henpecked.
It is not yet clear if the Valkyries will get the credit or the blame on Libya. But everyone is fascinated with the gender flip: the reluctant men — the generals, the secretary of defense, top male White House national security advisers — outmuscled by the fierce women around President Obama urging him to man up against the crazy Qaddafi.
How odd to see the diplomats as hawks and the military as doves...

And very few of these women are wives or mothers.
Lesbians push other women’s children off to war.
OHHHHH!
a sight for sore eyes
thanks
Yes, at least the Amazons did their own fighting. (Or they would have, had they actually ever existed.)
Bah...those harpies couldn't begin to fill a real Valkyrie's breastplate.
O’Reilly kept pushing this humanitarian necessity angle last night. It was all the poor fellow knew. “Ain’t it awful,” he’d say, “if gazillions of Libyans are killed by Khaddaffi.”
He’d go on, “And the President had to make this decision.”
You’ve gotta wonder how this guy who continually tells us how he’s got credentials in history, harvard, and humanitarianism can be so dumb when it comes to the Constitution.
Apparently, only O’Reilly and O’Bama can see the needs of others.
Who can dare trust such an issue in the hands of the duly elected, constitutionally empowered representatives of the United States of America? Who cares that they are the ones to determine military action?
Who cares that they can all be on conference call in less than 5 minutes? Who cares that the Libyan buildup took weeks? Who cares that the Congress can see angles that O’Reilly looked absolutely bumfuzzled about when Laura Ingraham brought them up?...in other words, many eyes on a subject bring out lots of points that need consideration.
Who cares that the Congress makes that decision and then the General-in-Chief Commands the military called to action by the Congress?
We have the whole Commander-in-Chief thing screwed up, and O’Bomber really wants to be child emperor/dictator.
O'Reilly has his guests give the conservative talking points and he plays devil's advocate so he can hold on to his bone fides with liberals and so look like he's non-partisan.
He's a jerk.

Exactly. Maybe this will be Obama's Waterloo.
O’Rile is a jerk who cares for nothing but publicity and ratings, can no longer stand to watch him.
Obama stepped way over the line on this and should definitely be impeached but don’t see it happening because Boehner dosen’t have the guts, IMO.
One thing O’Reilly and Obozo have in common is their personal theme song: “Let’s Talk About Me”.
MoDo must be into the afternoon drinking again.
Or maybe this.
Double, double toil and trouble
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.
Feh, the Labian Campaign.
Drop the airbrush!!! She didn’t need it back then!!!
He doesn't have instructions to that effect from RiNO Central, aka the Fortune 500 CEO's.
OTOH, Boehner can do business on this. He can sell Obama an indulgence, a remittance of impeachment, for a significant business-tax cut.
That's what RiNOdom exists for.
Conservative Valkyrie
Interesting.
Yeah the redhead looks definitely like a Valkyrie (who is she?)but the horse has too much sense to be a liberal.
You’d make a good Valkyrie, (in the most complimentary sense o’the word)
"In Norse mythology, a valkyrie (from Old Norse valkyrja "chooser of the slain") is one of a host of female figures who decide who will die in battle.
Selecting among half of those who die in battle (the other half go to the goddess Freyja's afterlife field Fólkvangr), the valkyries bring their chosen to the afterlife hall of the slain, Valhalla, ruled over by the god Odin.
There, the deceased warriors become einherjar. There, when the einherjar are not preparing for the events of Ragnarök, the valkyries bear them mead.
Valkyries also appear as lovers of heroes and other mortals, where they are sometimes described as the daughters of royalty, sometimes accompanied by ravens, and sometimes connected to swans."
Kinda puts a dark little spin on things, doesn't it?
:)
[This message approved by the god dog, Odin, whom I serve....LOL
And true to Valkyrja form, I choose who gets "slain" by him....;^D
And thanks, btw.
It's one of the nicer things anyone's ever said to me.
That is a fact.
I meet them in art supply stores quite often and they’re not gals I’d want to pal around with.
[*cough* ~raving lunatics~ *cough*]
On the upside, you easily identify them by the fact that you can no longer see the back of their car since it’s totally plastered with libtard bumperstickers.
“My cat voted for Obama”
Yeah, and so did a million dead people.
I should be shocked?
Oh, wow.
That is one wicked ride.
