I know rocket launchers on dinosaurs is an awesome idea, but I wonder how far we are from being able to implement it. We know how to put rocket launchers on stuff, but I don’t think we know yet how to make dinosaurs. While we wait until we figure that out, here’s an interim solution: Let’s put rocket launchers on the closest thing we have to dinosaurs — elephants.
The advantages of this are two-fold. One: We’ll have elephants with rocket launchers. Two: Since the elephant is the symbol of the Republican Party, that’s who everyone will think of when they see video of elephants storming through enemy compounds launching rockets. They’ll also think of how stupid it would be to put rocket launchers on the symbol of the Democratic Party, the ass. Who ever heard of an ass launching rockets? That’s stupid, just like the Democrats.
Anyway, I think this is a great idea and part of showing everyone that Republicans are full of awesomeness and kick-assery while the Democrats are nothing but big whiny homo babies. That’s win strategy right there.
The terrorists over in Afghanistan thought of putting rockets on donkeys that’s who. But then again you know whose side they are on.
I remember of at least 1 “a**” that fired a missile at one of Osama’s uninhabited camps and a factory in Libya….
Check this headline from the New York Times (not a fan, just googled for the story, I knew it was out there. As an apache pilot we trained to spot them):
“A REGION INFLAMED: BAGHDAD; Insurgents Use Rockets on Donkey Carts to Hit Sites in Iraqi Capital”
Well, IMAO, I don’t think the old Pachyderm should be revived. It’s beyond repair.
Now we’re gonna have a “me-too” black RNC chair. Doesn’t matter how wonderful he is, he will be an opportunity for the Dems to denigrate the GOP as behind the curve.
Let it die peacefully.

This idea has the advantage of being historically sound. Elephants are notoriously effective war animals. However, to compete in today’s modern battlefields, we’ll probably have to slap some armour on these elephants as well. That way they’d be like walking tanks with rocket launchers.
How different history might have been if Hannibal had had access to this kind of elephant technology…
Who ever heard of an ass launching rockets?
Every time they open their mouths.
I’ve launched a$$-rockets for years. They’re not very effective in dislodging Korans that might be in the pipe, but hey, the pipe was only meant for Shiites.
That was way too easy. I feel ashamed and proud at the same time. I’m “shroud” of myself.
Hannibal would be mighty proud my boy! What an awesome idea! No wonder we have selected FrankJ as he new head of the Republican Party! A leader with a pair and the ideas to back them up!
Will the rockets have thermonuclear warheads?
Ironically, I saw something on The Military Channel (I think) last week. War elephants dominated the battlefields of India for hundreds of years, until the enemy started using rockets. This spooked the elephants into trampling their own troops.
I’m sure there’s a metaphor for RINO leadership versus real conservative foot soldiers in this election in there somewhere. We’ve certainly seen it in the rumor mill attempts to destroy Sarah Palin.
I’m sick to death of Rockefeller Republicans personally. I realize it was their party before the 60’s drove normal sane compassionate people out of the Democratic party and lead to the Christian Conservative group being dominant, but when the very forces that made the republican party the majority for 20-30 years – leftist radicals – take over the government, why attack the very constituency that made you a majority in the first place? The Reagan Revolution was ushered in by conservative sanity amidst leftist “hold my beer, I’m gonna try sumpin’!” economics under Carter, which will simply compound error upon error until the conclusion that the “cure” is worse than the “disease” will be inescapable to 80 percent of the population by 2012. And then hopefully Sarah Palin can be our new Reagan.
Which brings me back to the whole symbol thing. Forget the elephant – we need Kodiak bears with rocket launchers! Very independent, very strong, very maternal, and very much wanting to either be left alone or kick loudmouth hippie poop-chute back to Russia where it belongs.
Alligators are the closet thing related to dinosaurs that I know of. So I propose alligators with rocket launchers. The rocket launcher isn’t even needed, as who in there right mind will mess with an angry alligator. Alligators are larger and more dangerous then crocodiles so we’ll leave those to the Austrailian conservitives.
I propose a compromise: Mammoths. They’re awesome like elephants, extinct like dinosaurs, and we’re getting closer to being able to bring them back

Well, I got a concept symbol mocked up, but I think the GOP symbol is copyrighted, so I don’t know if I should post it, as my symbol has elements of the original. Maybe make it a rhino instead?
Rhino’s need to be exterminated! I propose that the elephants kick their ass!
Alrighty then, check it out: Elephant With Rockets
Elephants are the minions of Satan. Elephants make monkeys look like choirboys, Frank. A better symbol for the New Republican Party and the Republican Underground is a Grizzly Bear carrying shoulder mounted flame throwers and a chain saw.
Well, if the other side is using asses as weapon’s platforms, then our side really needs to counter this by putting rockets on elephants. May I also suggest that while we are so arming are brave elephants, we also give them something for close in work, like a 7.76 mini-gun. For even closer in stuff, we should train them to shoot a pistol with their nose. I don’t know how practical that last one is, but it would be hilarious.
Yes, Big, Big Elephants like in Lord of the Rings! With Big, Big Rocket Launchers! The symbol of our movement is like a biological AT-AT!! Whooo!
Frank, they’ve beat us to it! Here’s an M27, 105mm recoilless rifle mounted on a donkey:

If we’re putting rocket launchers on something, then why does it have to be real?
Where’s the leftover dinosaurs from those Jurassic Park movies? Hey, didn’t Spielberg make Jurassic Park? What better irony?!
As long as somebody’s got the remote controls, and it ain’t Colin Powell, then we’re good.
As long as We are putting rocket launchers on dinosaurs, how about putting them on John McCain?
The elephants should also be armed with very good knives for “close in work” and they should also have advanced ninja training to learn cool spin kicks and how to disappear and break boards with their trunks etc…
I went to #23’s blog and there was a lot of “Jimmy” in it. I’m confused now. Who IS that? For a second, I thought ussjc had started a blog at townhall!
The “New” image should be a member of each branch of the military in their dress uniforms. That’s a symbol I’d give my life for. God bless them and their families for their sacrifice.
#12 Eric – I like your idea, but the largest crocs (8.6 metres (28 ft) and 1,352 kilograms (2,980 lb)) are way bigger than the largest alligators (14.5 feet (4.39 m) long and weigh 1000 lbs (454.5 kg)).
Unfortunately, we are on their menu, so I am voting for the elephant.
You’re forgetting one thing: Elephants aren’t that fast.
We don’t need rocket launchers on animals. We just need bigger, faster tanks.
Do we really need an animal, how about just a 1911?

Frank, how can you make a post like this and not treat us to one of your awesome drawings?
Please, go back and draw one, with rocket launchers, lasers, and sunglasses.
Creating dinosaurs is possible. I saw a documentary called “Jurassic Park” that explained how to do it. (Well, it’s as much of a documentary as Al Gore’s or Mike Moore’s films)
