Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Paul Brandus decided he’d had enough of the innumerable lies about Obama floating through the blogosphere, so he did some research and came up with a post: “Deconstructing the 5 most ridiculous myths about Barack Obama.” Unfortunately for him, he forgot the cardinal rule of attacking your enemy: Know your
Continue readingLast year, when I was casting about for a holiday season charity, a friend recommended the Semper Fi Fund, which helps out wounded service people and their families. I was planning on making a donation again this year, sometime around December something or other, but I’m not going to wait
Continue readingOn Monday, November 5, an ad will run in the Washington Times with the names of almost 500 retired military officers from all of the different forces who support Mitt Romney. I was lucky enough to get an advanced copy of the ad. The same email forwarding the ad asked
Continue readingUsually, I post about what I’ve found on Facebook — the anger, the silliness, and the misinformation from my Liberal friends. Today, I’m doing something different. I’m posting about what I didn’t find on Facebook. You see, Facebook was apparently unwilling to tolerate a poster that suggested that Obama had
Continue readingThe Mellow Jihadi suggests official recognition for the unusual bravery Lance Woods and Glen Doherty showed in their final hours. I realize that such recognition will not bring these men back, but acknowledging their sacrifice is something we do for the good of the country. If we cannot honor those
Continue readingI cannot vouch for the facts in this email I received, so please take that into consideration as you read it: From my personal experience at Bagram last year, when the “Commander-in-Thief” came over, the troops were handpicked, screened, and disarmed, including the Marines. All base roads, sidewalks, and access
Continue readingI’m guessing that a majority of Americans (a slim majority, but still a majority) know that America entered WWII because the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. What few stop to consider is why we ended up fighting, not only the Japanese who had just bombed us, but the Germans as well,
Continue readingWhen last I wrote, the CIA denied giving a stand down order and denial of aid to Glen Doherty and Lance Woods. Since then, the White House has issued a carefully worded statement to the effect that “Neither the president nor anyone in the White House denied any requests for
Continue readingA military friend pointed me to Fallen Not Forgotten, a veteran-created and owned apparel business that donates a portion of its proceeds to military charities. The guys at FNF have now set up a page that seeks straight out donations that they will put towards a scholarship fund for the
Continue readingI’ve got an amazing array of links, all of which indicate that, with three weeks before the election, America and the Middle East aren’t static. Instead, there are a lot of things that are suddenly coming to the boil in ways that make me pray very hard that Mitt Romney
Continue readingOne of the most memorable advertising campaigns from WWII was the all-out effort to make sure that people didn’t inadvertently reveal military secrets that they’d gleaned from their work or from contacts with loved ones. The most famous is probably this one, because it’s got that memorable rhyme: The “loose
Continue readingCourtesy of the Navy League, today I boarded the USS Makin Island as an official ship’s greeter. My visit was a bit more fraught than past experiences have been, so I thought I’d walk you through the girl’s guide to visiting the USS Makin Island, starting with pre-visit preparations: Review
Continue readingI wonder whether any branch of the military has lost a larger proportion of people than the Navy SEAL in the years since 9/11. Certainly they’ve done their bit and more to fight for American freedoms. We now learn that, in Benghazi, former Navy SEALS Tyrone Woods, 41, and Glen
Continue readingIn war, it’s entirely possible to have battle causalities increase despite the fact that you’re winning. This is because, as with the Surge in Iraq, you are aggressively engaging the enemy. Yes, you are defeating the enemy, decimating his numbers, and driving him back, but the very fact of engagement
Continue readingWe talk a lot here about the way our children are indoctrinated. They’re not alone. Everyone who touches government gets indoctrinated. Here’s a funny look at what could happen: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – The anti-American protests spreading throughout the Islamic world over an anti-Muslim film took a startling turn today when the
