The Reagan Legacy: Osama bin Laden dead

Yes, it’s true…. As hard as it is to believe that Barack Obama didn’t single-handedly take out Osama bin Laden between black-tie galas and lining-up putts, there’s another iconic president we should thank: Ronald Reagan. When the Gipper took office, U.S. Special Forces and Tactical Unit Teams were under-funded, under-trained, under-manned and in disarray.... But, as Thomas Mcardle writes:

Muslim sensitivities?  What about AMERICAN sensitivities, Mr. President?

Honestly, I haven’t been this addled since the early morning hours after my first pint of vodka. But as the O-administration spins, we can at least be confident that it’s clueless to the core. The decision to not release images of Osama bin Laden dead is one made by a president more concerned about the sentiments of our enemy than American citizens. “Reach out” goes the thinking. Don’t “inflame Muslim passions.” Though if Islam is peaceful, as is reiterated ad nauseum, why choose appeasement over proof of success?

Soldiers Without Boots: defeating the Left through social media

"I will cut the deficit in half in my first two years." ~Barack Obama Friends, all of us, in an era of progressive mindlessness, must speak loudly and often in defense of the truth. My Facebook page, Soldiers Without Boots, is 100% dedicated to defeating progressives through the use of social media. Below are page "statuses," composed by me, above articles presented there. A fire of Freedom, it hits the Left where it's vulnerable: on every issue and topic there is!

Listing of lizard may shut down Texas oil

imageYou can’t make this up. First, a Spotted Owl destroyed the timber industry of the Pacific Northwest, then a minnow turned the most productive agricultural land in the world into a dustbowl, and now, as energy prices spike and the economy sputters, they’re going after Texas with a scurrilous reptile. Specifically, the Dunes Sagebrush Lizard. That’s the latest more-important-than-people critter being used to lock-up resources in the name of planet Earth. The drilling moratorium didn’t cause enough pain, so onto the Endangered Species Act - known at the Sierra Club as “Ol’ Reliable” - to make certain Texas has lizard-filled poverty.

From Hope and Change to Duck and Hide: Obama swings left

Is this guy for real? The transmogrification of Barack Obama, who when he's not getting down with Jay-Z is out spewing clap-trap on the Fantasy Tour, has mired him squarely in the political gutter. Anyone who's been to the pump lately - or for that matter, a Benghazi rocket battle - has to know that he lacks leadership, is a community organizer, and practices a philosophy which forwards deception.

Climate refugees fail to materialize for UN

Question—if an international organization falls in the forest does it make a sound? File it under “manufactured crisis,” but back in 2005, long before Climate-gate and a succession of brutal winters, the United Nations warned that “catastrophic climate change” would displace millions in the developing world. Global warming had to be addressed – NOW! – because failure to do so would force populations from once habitable land to scattered corners of Gaia.

Oprah cold-shoulders “Obama 2012”

Wow…. Have the scales fallen from Oprah’s eyes? Pop Eater is reporting that the famously rotund Obamabot will not be supporting him in 2012, as he bids to complete the “transformation” of America. The Oprah Winfrey Network, a joint venture with Discovery Communications, is rating worse than the channel it replaced, and according to the source:

Prosser vs. Kloppenburg: Wisconsin Supreme Court battle royale

They don’t get much bigger. On April 5 - this Tuesday - Wisconsinites will go to the polls to determine the balance of the State Supreme Court and, ultimately, the fate of the Wisconsin taxpayer. Currently, the court breaks 4-3, conservative/liberal, but with the election of Joanne Kloppenburg, the challenger to incumbent Dave Prosser, this will change.

Pelosi and Dems cash-in on Wisconsin

Call me a glutton for punishment, but in order to keep an eye on the moonbat crowd, I receive e-mails from Nancy Pelosi. Every time there’s a “crisis,” she’s there, cranking the spigot for cash, cash, cash. When Jared Loughner unloaded in Tucson, dollar-signs filled her orbitals. And, yes, the rise of “extremists” in Wisconsin - the one that puts its public employee collective bargaining in line with… gasp!... Maryland’s - has roused her again.

Failure to honor Washington: a triumph of the Left

On this, what would have been George Washington’s 278th birthday, Americans will go about their business, a free people, without acknowledging – nor celebrating – the man whose toil on their behalf was measureless. I say “free people,” sadly aware that we’re becoming less free, and that diminution of Washington symbolizes the design to “alter” history to make this so.

Fighting campus speech-codes with FIRE

Speech-code. Sounds like something from George Orwell’s pen or a Stephen King tale, but it’s not. According to Adam Kissel, from the Foundation of Individual Rights in Education, two-thirds of college campuses enforce speech-codes, violating the 1st amendment rights of their students. Thanks to FIRE, however, codes are being challenged, speech is alive, and awareness is being raised. While two-thirds isn’t good, this is down from a shameful nine-tenths, and each day, with FIRE’s help, administrators are relenting.

Message to Congress: Don’t “fix” ObamaCare

In the wake of Judge Vinson’s evisceration of ObamaCare, it appears that the plaintiffs – the attorneys general and governors of the 26 states involved in the suit – are recognizing their power. While the administration pretends nothing happened, they’re standing up, as they should, against the law. From the WSJ:

Sorry, Bill Maher, the NFL is not socialist

Bill Maher, the Hollywood Jesus-hater who receives talking points from Playboy Bunnies, is at it again. In a recent article, he claims that the National Football League owes its success to “socialism,” that it thrives, not because of capitalism but due to redistribution of revenue amongst teams. A critique of his theory - that the sharing of TV revenue between large and small markets is socialistic - however, concludes otherwise.

Olbermann Fired: V-K Day

What a weekend! There I was, in my ante room, cleaning mud off my cleats, when it came over the wire: the era of Keith Olbermann’s ranting is through. A tale immediately sprang to mind of how my father had learned of Hiroshima from his aunt, who despite her toughness, had cried and wept for days. I didn’t understand, at the time, how a bomb could bring tears.

Newt Gingrich: the Chameleon

First let me say, I like Newt Gingrich, or at least, I’ve tried to like him as he’s morphed into a political chameleon who talks out of both sides of his mouth. Gingrich is articulate and shrewd, but the author of To Save America: Stopping Obama’s Secular-Socialist Machine might want to go back and read himself, because lately he’s sounding a lot like Richard Lugar.

Nancy Pelosi calls Tucson murders an “accident.”

Lord in Heaven, you can’t make this up. Yesterday, on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives, deposed Speaker, Nancy Pelosi (D-Mars), called the deliberate and premeditated killing of six people – the Tucson massacre – an “accident.” Specifically, Madame said, quote:

Rhode Island Gov to ban employees from talk radio

Add to Paul Krugman, Clarence Dupnak, Chris Matthews and Sherrod Brown the name, Lincoln Chafee, who joins a growing chorus of stooges building a narrative around the straw-man, talk radio. The governor of Rhode Island, Mr. Chafee will institute a “no talk policy” for state officials, banning them from speaking to radio hosts. A spokesman tells the Providence Journal:

Lisa Murkowski: not a RINO, a Democrat

Lisa Murkowski. It’s difficult to type her name without grinding my teeth. For those who reveled in the defeat of Mike Castle (R-DE) and understood why it’s better for conservatism – and for Liberty – to lose a general election than to sanction a RINO, Murkowski is now the Queen of Bad Votes. Not a Republican insofar as her “yeas” and “nays” differentiate her from Democrats, she is, by consensus, the new Arlen Specter. In fact, in this pseudo-constitutional “duck,” she’s voted like a woman with the initials N.P.

Waking with dread

Dread; verb: 1. To be in terror of. 2. To anticipate with alarm, anxiety or reluctance. The above definition from the American Heritage Dictionary, though just a line on a page, captures the emotion of today's concerned patriot. As a lover of Freedom, I, and many others, recognized what a disaster this administration would be, but progressivism, pre-Barack, was obscure, and few sensed peril in the words "hope and change." Progress and fascism were the taint of academia whose reach, though benighted, waned before virtue... There was always the Constitution. Designed to bar evil men from evil acts, "chains" were its yoke; law and common sense. It states on our currency that we trust in God, and it didn't seem plausible that freedom had a lifespan, for freedom is life and makes its home here.
