Mustang Rambles

Reading in the paper today, I see where the Honolulu Star-Bulletin put out an article stating that “The Navy is helping the Coast Guard perform its oldest mission–protection of natural marine resources–”.

What a bunch of crap. The stupid reported who put that together should be fired for sleeping in 8th grade Civics Class, or fired for just being so fricking eco-freaky that he thinks he can re-write history, one of the favorite pastimes of the New-Age One World Order types. Actually, in the spirit of forgiveness, I think the reporter is just ignorant, and you can thank your local school board for that. Anyone who has any information about the Coast Guard, or the history of our glorious nation knows that the Coast Guard was established by Alexander Hamilton, Secretary of the Treasury, to stop the smugglers from avoiding their fair share of taxes and revenues. In fact, the Coast Guard was original known as Revenue Marine and the Revenue Cutter Service. It was only in 1915 that it received its current name. In the official site of the Coast Guard Historian
the first mention of environmental protection comes in the 1960’s. This hardly makes it the oldest mission of the Coast Guard.

I recommend that the newspaper, if it wants to retain its reputation, begin hiring reasonably educated reporters who will take 5 minutes to look up things on the Internet.
