Slate: Proving Once Again Why Leftists Don’t ‘Get’ Radical Islam

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

… and Why Liberals are Our Weak Spot For the online, left-wing magazine Slate, William Saletan thinks he’s found something that will damage Osama bin Ladden’s reputation in the Islamic world.

Navy May Name Ship After Leftist Icon Cesar Chavez

Posted on by Dave Blount

A free country requires civilian control of the military. Unfortunately, in our times that means top down moonbattery, as exemplified by the possibility that the Navy will name a new cargo ship after Cesar Chavez to pander to left-wing Hispanics. James Gill, a spokesman for General Dynamics NASSCO in San Diego, said Monday the company […]

 

Democrats Against Our Intelligence Community

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Representatives Dennis Kucinich (D, Ohio), Barbara Lee (D, Calif.), Pete Stark (D, Calif.) and Lynn Woolsey (D, Calif.)

Posted on by Jenn Q. Public

Four Afghan women have achieved something that would have been unimaginable a decade ago: they are training alongside male recruits to become pilots in the Afghan Air Force.

Old Media Ninnies Alert: German Newscast Displays Star Trek Logo as Seal Team 6 Patch

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Steve Gill* found an amusing little story. Apparently a German television news show had a report on Seal Team 6, the group responsible for taking down Osama bin Ladden, and the TV folks meant to show the military patch of the Seals on-air. But instead of showing Seal Team 6’s actual arm patch, the morons […]

 

NY Times: Why, Yes, Military Spending Should Be Cut To Reduce Debt

Posted on by William Teach

There are many things one can expect to hear from liberals when it comes to government spending: raise taxes (sorry, “reduce expenditures in the tax code”), increase social spending, cut intelligence spending, and, cut military spending, the last cut being to a duty of the federal government that actually appears in the Constitution….yes, I know, […]

 

Indiana Democrat Fleebagger Compares Himself to Our Soldiers

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

There is nothing worse than some self-interested politician acting as if his partisan political agenda makes him serving his country just like our brave soldiers at war.

We May Soon Be Bombing Both Sides in Libya

Posted on by Dave Blount

We may have an explanation for Comrade Obama’s inscrutable behavior in Libya. There’s no need to envision a complex, SPECTRE-esque international conspiracy of the sort Glenn Beck is often on the verge of revealing, when our foreign policy is better explained by a single word: incompetence. As NATO takes over control of airstrikes in Libya, […]

 

When Is a War Not a War?

Posted on by Dave Blount

Thankfully our leaders have clarified what they are up to in Libya. It isn’t a third simultaneous war, launched on behalf of people who are probably our enemies at a time when the economy is already staggering from excessive government spending. It’s a “kinetic military action“: In the last few days, Obama administration officials have […]

 

It’s A Terrible Idea To Put Women In Combat Just So They Can Earn More Promotions?

Posted on by John Hawkins

We have the finest military that has ever existed on the history of earth, but that’s apparently irrelevant because the leadership isn’t “diverse” enough: The U.S. military is too white and too male at the top and needs to change recruiting and promotion policies and lift its ban on women in combat, an independent report […]

 

Homosexual Brainwashing on the Battlefield in Afghanistan

Posted on by Dave Blount

Due largely to absurd rules of engagement that tie their hands and a “Commander in Chief” who is uncomfortable with the concept of victory, our troops in Afghanistan have been left hanging in the wind. They aren’t allowed to win, but they can’t come home either, because admitting defeat before the 2012 election would make […]

Radical Islamists on the Move in Egypt: U.S. Labor and Code Pink Offer Help

Posted on by Jane Jamison

The American media want us to believe that the Egyptian revolution is a student-led fairy-tale fight for free elections and democracy. This is very, very naive. However, anyone who believes otherwise is being branded a “kook conspiracist.”

 

Valerie Jarrett Orders High-Ranking Officer to Fetch Her More Wine

Fish Wrap: Military Needs To Go Green To Save Lives

Posted on by William Teach

And not just anyone a the NY Times, but, a retired Army Brigadier General, Steven M.

Posted on by Jane Jamison

There is plenty of “chatter” in the “conspiracy world” about why 5,000 dead blackbirds fell from the sky on a one mile section of the town of Beebe, Arkansas on New Year’s Eve and why, just a few miles away, hundreds of thousands of dead fish washed up on the shores of the Arkansas River.

Julian Assange isn’t the only repugnant creepazoid involved in potentially getting people killed by exposing secret documents on WikiLeaks. Assange got many of his documents from Bradley Manning.

Obama’s Government Denying Tax Status Based on Pro-Israeli Support?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A pro-Israel education group called Z Street is claiming that Obama’s IRS has violated its Constitutional rights by denying it tax exempt status solely because it supports Israel, support that apparently runs counter to Obama’s stance on Israel. Z Street reports that Obama’s IRS asked a telling question of the group as it sought the […]
