Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
It’s been two days since our Commander in Chief lost one of his own in an attack on American soil — and his silence is deafening. When an abortionist died, our CIC instantly issued a public statement and used federal marshals to beef up security at abortion clinics. When one

Continue readingWhen Barack Obama visited Iraq, the photo ops showed him surrounded by cheering, grabbing, hugging, loving military personnel. I found this a bit peculiar, because (a) the military overwhelmingly supported the Republican ticket in the last election and (b) a bit of unscripted documentary evidence indicates that, as far as
Continue readingI know nothing about US Admiral James Stavridis. I don’t know whether he attained his high rank because he’s a brilliant military strategist or just another political hack. I don’t know if he believes in a strong America, or believes America’s best defense is to role over and play dead.

And now Barack knows how the Marines feel about him: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIHz5tevLAw[/youtube] I found the above video at Cheat-Seeking Missiles, where Laer also has a picture that is worth ten thousand words. UPDATE: Blackfive has more, including a reminder about why the troops

After all, why should a young man or woman enlist if there’s nothing left to fight for. His

Those days are gone but, I must say, I’d be happy to resurrect them to spend some dance time with these wonderfully coordinated Marines, who apparently number terpsichorean talents amongst their other skills:
