Just to walk on American soil
11 Oct 2009 
3:57 pm
Do you ever realize how much we take for granted? We live in the greatest country in the world, one that shines the light of freedom for all the world to see. That light continues to shine brightly thanks to the sacrifices of our men and women in uniform. And just to be here, to walk on American soil, is something that I think we take for granted most of the time. Sure, most of us here reading this blog are patriots who love their country …

No wonder Europe loves us now
11 Oct 2009 3:54 pm
In the most unsurprising news ever, the United States is now beloved by the world again. Everyone celebrate!
The United States is the most admired country globally thanks largely to the star power of President Barack Obama and his administration, according to a new poll.
It climbed from seventh place last year, ahead of France, Germany, the United Kingdom and Japan which completed the top five nations in the Nation Brand Index (NBI).
“What’s really remarkable is that in all my years studying national reputation, I have never seen any country experience …

Michelle Obama has no class
20 Sep 2009 9:37 pm
If you were going to a posthumous Medal of Honor ceremony, how would you think you should act? What would you wear? Certainly you wouldn’t walk in all upbeat and positive, and you wouldn’t be popping the cork off a bottle of champagne. Likewise, you wouldn’t walk in wearing a Hawaiian print shirt or a brightly colored cocktail dress, right?
Well, someone forgot to tell Michelle Obama that a posthumous Medal of Honor ceremony might be, I don’t know, kind of a somber occasion. And she showed …

57% of Americans want to replace the entire Congress
30 Aug 2009 5:48 pm
This should be theoretically devastating news for Democrats in Congress, and the Republicans along with them. But while the GOPers are learning their lesson, albeit at about the speed that Ted Kennedy took in reporting the accident at Chappaquiddick, Democrats just have no idea. They either don’t get it or they don’t care. Obama’s poll numbers are plummeting. Americans are getting angrier and angrier about the stimulus package and the amount of debt we’ve ratcheted up in the last six months. They don’t want Obama’s …

Reports of Pvt. Bergdahl’s desertion continue to mount
20 Jul 2009 7:12 pm
After watching the video of Pvt. Bergdahl yesterday, I had a lot of questions.
Without knowing details of how he was captured, it’s hard to make much of a judgement on this. He’s making statements about wanting all of the troops to come home, and it just seemed a little odd to me. Why would a soldier voluntarily walk off of his base with three Afghanis? What were the circumstances that caused him to leave his base? How did he come to be captured? Was he even captured or was he …

New AIP column: Obama the car salesman
20 Jul 2009 4:42 pm
My newest American Issues Project column, Obama the car salesman, examines the techniques Obama has used since taking office to get his bad legislation passed. From the stimulus package to the omnibus bill to cap-and-trade and Obamacare, he uses the same tired old tactics. And rather than using savvy political salesmanship, he’s gone for a much sleazier route: the used car salesman. Here’s an excerpt:
Have you ever had to buy a new car? It’s one of the worst purchases you ever have to make. Everyone dreads that …

Voters losing trust in Democrats
10 Jul 2009 3:17 pm
A new Rasmussen poll is out, an one that should be giving the Democratic party reason to be nervous. Republicans are now the party that voters trust on 8 out of 10 issues, and they’re quickly gaining on the other two.
Voters now trust Republicans more than Democrats on eight out of 10 key electoral issues, including, for the second straight month, the top issue of the economy. They’ve also narrowed the gap on the remaining two issues, the traditionally Democratic strong suits of health care and education.
The latest …

Read a bill before voting on it? Please!
8 Jul 2009 4:01 pm
Obama and Pelosi like to brag about how this is the most ethical, transparent Congress EVAH!, but that’s far from the truth. Bills aren’t available far enough in advance that Americans can read them before they’re voted on. Obama certainly hasn’t gone over any bill “line by line” to make sure no earmarks make their way in.
And now, the latest, Steny Hoyer laughs at the notion that members of Congress would actually read a bill before voting on it.
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said Tuesday …

The media won
7 Jul 2009 10:52 am
CNN interviewed Sarah Palin about her resignation as governor of Alaska, and to me, the interview was very telling. It’s a little long, but check it out:
Embedded video from CNN Video
Now, I could be reading into this all wrong. But it seems to me that the media and the Left finally won. They defeated one of the last remaining good, decent politicians. They know it. Sarah Palin knows it. You can see it in their smug, gloating, congratulatory writings and broadcasts about her resignation. …

North Korea celebrates the Fourth of July
4 Jul 2009 10:08 am
By shooting off seven ballistic missiles this morning.
North Korea fired seven ballistic missiles off its eastern coast Saturday, South Korea said, a violation of U.N. resolutions and an apparent message of defiance to the United States on its Independence Day.
The launches, which came two days after North Korea fired what were believed to be four short-range cruise missiles, will likely further escalate tensions in the region as the U.S. tries to muster support for tough enforcement of the latest U.N. Security Council resolution imposed on the communist regime for its …

SHOCKING: Palin is resigning as governor!
3 Jul 2009 3:58 pm
Sarah Palin just held a live press conference from Wasilla, AK stating that she is resigning her post as governor. WOW.
Gov. Sarah Palin will resign her office in a few weeks, she said during a news conference at her Wasilla home Friday morning.
Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell will be inaugurated at the Governor’s Picnic at the end of the month, Palin said.
There was no immediate word as to why she will resign, though speculation has been rampant that the former vice presidential candidate is gearing up for a run at …

A letter from 1776 to remind us what the Fourth is really about
3 Jul 2009 1:20 pm
Over two hundred years ago, a group of patriots who believed in freedom and equality for all risked execution for treason in order to build a nation on the principles they believed in. This was culminated in a Declaration of Independence being signed on July 4, 1776.
And 233 years ago today, a man who would one day become president wrote a letter to his wife Abigail. John Adams expressed poignant thoughts about the founding of our great country, of the blood and toil it would cost …

Iran erupts
21 Jun 2009 2:54 pm
Iran has erupted into full-scale chaos. Former Iranian President Rafsanjani has been slaughtered and his family arrested. Thousands of protestors crowded the capital yesterday, where police met them with batons, water cannons, and… tear gas. Injured protestors are being arrested and detained when they go to hospitals for treatment, to the point where they have started fleeing to foreign embassies. Helicopters are allegedly pouring boiling water or some other burning agent onto protestors. Mousavi has released a statement saying he is prepared to be martyred. …

Remembering D-Day
7 Jun 2009 10:45 am
Yesterday was the sixty-five year anniversary of D-Day, the day that US, British, and Canadian forces stormed the beaches at Normandy. Over 150,000 of them charged off the ships; over 10,000 were lost. Many of the dead were never recovered.
June 6, 1944 marked a turning point in WWII. Until that day, there wasn’t much ground opposition to Hitler’s forces. Europe had been largely unsuccessful in fighting the Germans on the ground. But D-Day changed that. Despite the heavy losses, the Allies took the beach. …

Newsweek editor to Chris Matthews: Obama is “sort of God”
7 Jun 2009 10:41 am
Objective and non-biased, my ass.
Yet we get criticized for sarcastically calling him the Obamamessiah. Is it because we haven’t yet seen the light and accepted Obama for the savior that he is? Probably.

Frank Buckles, the last American WWI veteran
24 May 2009 11:15 am
If his words don’t humble you, then nothing ever will.
I especially was touched by his comments about what he expected from his government in return for his service. He didn’t serve in WWI and WWII because the government asked him to; he served because his country needed him. He didn’t want or expect anything back. How many of us can learn from that?
How sad that he is the last of the WWI soldiers. Some of the best Americans we’ve ever had… let’s make …

Republicans are happier than Democrats… I wonder why
16 May 2009 8:17 pm
A new un-shocking study showed us that people are happier as they age, that men are happier than woman, and that Republicans are happier than Democrats.
Read it:
Americans grow happier as they age, surveys find. And a new Pew Research Center survey shows the tendency is holding up as the economy tanks.
Happiness is a complex thing. Past studies have found that happiness is partly inherited, that Republicans are happier than Democrats, and that old men tend to be happier than old women.
… If you’re thinking that Republicans are …

OMG, Obama is, like, so totally hip!
26 Apr 2009 4:48 pm
The MSM droolfest has reached a fever pitch in this new article. If you’re feeling kind of queasy today, you might want to skip reading it. And Michelle recommends it… but only if you feel like losing around 50 IQ points.
Here’s a few highlights:
Barack Hussein Obama is the nation’s first hip president.
… “Being hip is being able to navigate your environment and others’ environments,” like the way Obama traverses racial boundaries, said John Leland, author of the definitive book “Hip: The History.”
“Obama has this awareness that other …

N. Korea launches missile; Obama shows us what smart diplomacy is
5 Apr 2009 1:55 pm
So, the inevitable happened: North Korea launched a missile. Of course, they’re claiming it was just a “satellite” being launched into orbit. Right.
North Korea defied international warnings and sent a rocket hurtling over the Pacific on Sunday, a launch President Barack Obama called an illicit test of the regime’s long-range missile technology that threatened the security of nations “near and far.”
Obama and European Union leaders meeting in Prague condemned the move and said North Korea’s dangerous defiance demanded an international response. Diplomats at the United Nations scheduled an …

Levi Johnston has no class
4 Apr 2009 4:56 pm
With his appearance on the Tyra Banks show, Levi Johnston showed that he has absolutely no class whatsoever. He stuttered his way through a conversation about sex with Sarah Palin’s daughter, Bristol, including whether or not the governor knew and if they used protection.
Levi Johnston not only says he practiced safe sex “most of the time” when they were together, he also reveals to Tyra Banks that he believes Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin knew he and Bristol were having sex when they lived under her roof. “I’m pretty sure …
