War of Wits

(An Open Letter To Jack “Cold-Blooded” Murtha) 

Congressman Murtha,

Were I you sir, I would hang my head in shame and pray to my Creator, begging His forgiveness for the pain that I’ve caused innocent people. And then I would perform some serious personal introspection to see what I could possibly do to begin the process of restitution for my crimes.

But you won’t because you have no shame. (more…)

USMC 1st Lt Andrew Grayson

On June 4th, 2008, yet another ace was yanked from the house of cards that laid foundation of the government’s case against eight Marines for their actions relating to a terrorist ambush in Haditha, Iraq in November of 2005. 

Although that deck was completely stacked against them and reshuffled repeatedly, five of eight Marines have had their charges dismissed and First Lieutenant Andrew Grayson has faced court martial and was rightly found not guilty on all counts. (more…)

I’ve ridden 40 foot swells in the South China Sea for three days straight, skirting typhoons on a hangover and two hours of sleep, yet nothing nauseates me more than one who uses deception about anything related military service when they themselves didn’t have the pair between their legs, the sense of duty or the time to put on my country’s uniform.

Barack Obama should really check his ego at the door. In recent days he has assumed regal airs and it isn’t very Presidential. The fat lady has yet to begin warming up, but Obama has already completed his victory lap. Although it appears he will –in all likelihood– get the Democratic nomination, there is no excuse for him to get cocky. His continuing problems connecting with white, middle-class voters expose a huge vulnerability, despite what the media and “superdelgates” (or the Democrat political leadership) say. The reasons he can’t connect in the primaries are the same reasons he’ll face trouble in the General Election; his inexperience, extreme liberal views and refusal to answer tough questions dealing with either of those two subjects.

Ever since the Iraq war began, politicians and media elites have been using the health care of returning veterans as a campaign issue; a political football to be kicked around and fought over. And ever since those first Iraq veterans began returning from battle, those same politicians and media elites have been sounding the alarm about the horrendous care our veterans have received at the hands of the military health care system and V.A.

I, for one, am sick of the lies. I know they’re lies. I am as familiar with navigating the military’s medical review process as any. I spent 6 months and endured 4 major surgeries at military facilities on the west coast. I was treated by some of the most compassionate, dedicated and experienced doctors, surgeons, nurses that this country has to offer. I also witnessed this superior level of care extended to all military personnel on a daily basis. I saw sight restored to badly lacerated, blind eyes. I saw lumps of flesh that passed for burned off ears that were completely reconstructed from the patient’s own body parts. I saw the crushed, the impaled and the burned pieced back together and healed.

“Now, the implications from the outside are obvious. If I see God as male, if I see God as white male, if I see God as superior, as God over us and not Immanuel, which means “God with us,” if I see God as mean, vengeful, authoritarian, sexist, or misogynist, then I see humans through that lens. My theological lens shapes my anthropological lens. And as a result, white males are superior; all others are inferior. And I order my society where I can worship God on Sunday morning wearing a black clergy robe and kill others on Sunday evening wearing a white Klan robe. I can have laws which favor whites over blacks in America or South Africa. I can construct a theology of apartheid in the Africana church (ph) and a theology of white supremacy in the North American or Germanic church. “  - Rev. Jeremiah Wright at the National Press Club 4/28/08

In case you missed the first round of endless excerpts from “The Best of Rev. Jeremiah Wright”, we were blessed again last week with the inspirational and uplifting rhetoric of Barack Obama’s former pastor. Having finally emerged from the sewer, Wright confirmed his depravity in front of the National Press Club by essentially restating his cockamamie theories about government culpability for AIDS and alleged US terrorism.

While the screws are put to average American in the form of taxpayer bailouts of self-serving, greedy financial interests the government deems too important to let collapse or soaring fuel and food costs, both the Bush Administration and the 110th Congress continue to fiddle while Rome burns.

They pass everything from token measures such as Bush’s economic stimulus package to Congress’ pet mortgage reform, to Nancy Pelosi’s behemoth “comprehensive” energy bill - using economic, environmental and cultural socialism to deal with America’s ills. But the reality is that these measures taken by our leadership on both sides of the aisle are anything but helpful. In fact they are quite damaging.

“You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them… It’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.” - Barack Obama

Barack Obama was a virtual unknown until he gave a keynote speech at the Democratic National Convention in 2004. Since then, he has made much of the power of words. He He has made millions writing books. He has hypnotized millions of people on the campaign trail with his speeches about hope and change. 

But the words he used weren’t always his own. When attacked by the Clintons as being all talk, his response included plagiarized lines because he felt they were so pivotal to the idea that he was qualified to be president. “Just Words?”, I recall he rhetorically asked.  Yes indeed, this is a man who is very familiar with the power of words.

You’ve got to hand it to Al Gore…

This shyster has managed to make a fortune convincing 3/4 of the population of the entire world that we’re all going to die in less than 100 years because of human-induced global warming while simultaneously managing to consume 10 times the energy of the average human.

Even though science is still debating such lofty theories as Einstein’s General Relativity and the exact details and catalysts of Darwin’s Evolution, Gore and his disciples have closed the book on global warming. According to them, global warming is the one theory that is no longer subject to debate and if you question it, you’re just simply wrong or an imbecile.

USMC Lance Corporal Stephen Tatum has finally been exonerated of the bogus charges leveled against him. Perhaps now he can begin to rebuild his life in the peace and prosperity he has fought so hard to secure for so many of us.

While I celebrate the decision to drop all charges against this Marine Rifleman, I also view the circumstances that surround that decision with much trepidation. When combined with the history of prosecutorial misconduct in these cases, it is a clear indication of how desperate the government is to nail the 3 remaining Marines, particularly Staff Sergeant Frank Wuterich.

“The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a 3 strikes law and then wants us to sing God Bless America… No, no, no! Not God Bless America, God Damn America! That’s in the Bible.” - Barack Obama’s former Pastor and long-time spiritual advisor, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright on white oppression in America.

There’s an old saying: “If you lie down with dogs, you’re gonna get fleas.” 

And presidential hopeful Barack Obama is evidently beginning to scratch. The mainstream media is finally beginning to do their job, subjecting his background to a minimum level of scrutiny. What was uncovered last week was ugly. It raises serious questions about Obama’s beliefs, his judgment, his background and his ability to unite a polarized country to bring about the change he so vigorously champions.

“The magnitude of a lie always contains a certain factor of credibility.” - Adolph Hitler - Mein Kampf

The vicious slander against the Marines of 3/1 Kilo Co. brought forth by Pennsylvania Democrat John Murtha continues to receive the blessing of  the US Marine Corps leadership who seem quite content sacrificing these 4 men atop the altar of political correctness.

For over two years, the dubious allegations that 4 US Marines massacred 24 civilians “in cold blood” and 4 others helped them cover it up have been stinking up this country somethin’ fierce.  Completely unsupported by the facts, undenounced by President Bush, ignored by Congress and aided-and-abetted by a violence-obsessed media that is itself (ironically) vehemently anti-military, the myth has survived.

There was a time not very long ago that most Americans had never even heard of Barack Obama. I unabashedly admit that I was ignorant of his very existence until he delivered the keynote speech at the Democratic National Convention in 2004. Obama’s oratory captivated Democrats and he became an overnight sensation. Next thing you know, he’s occupying a Senate seat from Illinois –and after merely a year– vying to be Commander-In-Chief of the world’s mightiest military.

It’s quite obvious that Obama saw the US Senate as the quickest route to Pennsylvania Avenue even though he hasn’t really done anything substantive there. Hillary Clinton has criticized his record as a state legislator due to his penchant for voting “Present”, but I am more concerned over his record (or lack thereof) in the US Senate. He has missed nearly 40 percent of all Senate votes during the 110th Congress (190 out of 477) going back to early 2007. He has avoided rather than confronted controversial issues. Despite claiming unmatched opposition to the Iraq war, he has passed up various opportunities to cast his vote against it. (more…)

The New York Times; The Paper of Record; The home of all the news that’s fit to print has finally executed the ambush of John McCain that they have been planning for months.

Last Thursday’s hit piece, entitled “For McCain, Self-Confidence on Ethics Poses Its Own Risk” was long on rehashing decades-old charges of corruption and ties to Charles Keating, while devoid of all but insinuation and innuendo when it comes to the article’s substantive charge of a McCain affair with 40 year-old telecommunications lobbyist Linda Iseman.

Politicians always subscribe to the theory that throwing money at a problem, regardless of whether the money is ever even used to fix it, is always the solution to said problem. They never concern themselves with the actual implementation of their “fixes”. They simply allocate our money to federal agencies tasked with carrying out their wishes and their job is done. Yet another problem solved.

The economic stimulus package being jointly crafted by the President and the House is not the answer to our problems. It may not help. In fact, it may exacerbate our economic woes. It is by no means a done deal and must pass in the Senate, which signalled that they wanted it expanded.

In its current form, this socialist tripe; this stimulus package consists of tax rebates to 117 million Americans; Six hundred dollars to individuals who earn up to $75,000.00 and $1,200.00 + $300.00 per child for families who earn up to $150,000.00. People or families with incomes above those thresholds (who ironically pay the vast majority of income taxes) will see their rebates shrink as their income rises. Families with incomes above $200,000.00 don’t get squat.
