Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
A friend sent me an email which reminded me that I have been remiss insofar as I have not posted about Lt. Col Matthew Dooley. I’m reprinting the email here to make up for that omission: Lt. Col Matthew Dooley, a West Point graduate and highly-decorated combat veteran, was an
Continue readingAtheists aren’t limiting their attacks in religion in the military to demonizing Christians. It turns out they’re also agitating for their own chaplains. I find this amusing. I can just imagine the atheist chaplain in different military scenarios. Atheist military chaplain on the eve of battle: “You’re going into battle
Continue readingBoth of these are about the modern military’s role in American culture. One comes from a conservative publication and one from a liberal publication. And that’s all I’ll tell you about them.
Continue reading“Thank you” really doesn’t seem adequate but, when all the flowery words are stripped away, “thank you” is all that’s left:
Continue readingBack during the Iraq War, PBS showed a documentary about reservists from a Southern state who had been called up for active duty. (For the life of me, I can’t remember the name.) The documentary was very sympathetic. It showed these reservists as pathetic, out-of-shape bubbas — family men, of
Continue readingShort, but sadly, so not sweet. It’s 40 seconds of painful truth:
Continue readingAbout a week ago, I told you that I was going to see a play called Black Watch, which purports to be an “even-handed” homage to Scotland’s famous Black Watch regiment. The Black Watch was much in the news (in the UK) during the Iraq war, because one unit suffered
Continue readingThis one really got my goat. I wrote it for Mr. Conservative, but I want it to be here too. It’s not enough that Obama’s careless boasts got the SEALs (and 21 others) killed. It’s that, when all honors should have been paid to them, the gutless, PC, Obama Pentagon
Continue readingFor at least 60 years, advertisers have pitched young people by saying, “If you buy our product. you will be cool.” They haven’t said, “You are cool; therefore you should buy our product.” The promise is that the product will fulfill your desires, desires that go far beyond a particular
Continue readingTruly proving that stupid is as stupid does, Lt Col Jeff Krusinski, 41, the Air Force’s Sexual Assault Prevention and Response boss, was arrested for drunkenly assaulting a woman who successfully fended him off. We don’t know why he ended up so battered, but I’d like to think that his
Continue readingIn connection with my post about the Left’s fierce hatred for Christianity (which burns bright alongside its antisemitism and pathological love and respect for Islam), I wrote about the Pentagon’s decision to partner with Michael Weinstein, a rabid anti-Christian who’s set his sights on the military. The next phase in
Continue readingOne of the things that’s frustrating for non-liberals and non-Progressives is Leftists’ refusal to look Islam in the face (so to speak). Yes, there are crazy people who are Christians and there are entire Christian sects that are crazy (such as the Westboro Baptists or Warren Jeffs’ polygamist Mormon cult).
Continue readingThanks to Earl for sending me this video about two Boston bombing victims who got a very special visit from the Marines. It made me cry, but in a very uplifted way. By the way, you can learn more about Celeste and Sydney here.
Continue readingIt’s been an endlessly slow process, but I no longer hate Carly Rae Jepsen’s Call Me Maybe. This video sealed the deal, because it’s got something for everyone. Put it on full screen viewing so that, if you like the guys, you can keep your eye on the upper left
Continue reading(This is another Mr. Conservative post that perfectly reflects my views on the subject. If you’d like to join the Special Operations Speaks’ petition, you can find it here.) For the past several months, the administration has worked hard to keep the public focused on gun control and gay marriage,
