“Hindsight is 20/20, but I think that what I am absolutely convinced of is, at that time, we had to change the political debate because the view of the Bush Administration at that time was one that I just disagreed with, and one that I continue to disagree with.” - Barack Obama on his Iraq tapdance
Hindsight may be 20/20, but then why is Barack Obama blindly placing so much emphasis on his supposed hindsight to oppose the war in Iraq? That argument may have sold like hotcakes when we were losing, but all you can get for it these days is a handful of loose change.

In these times of economic uncertainty, global terrorism and nationwide tumult, the last thing this country needs is a Commander-In-Chief that has absolutely no military or foreign policy experience.

When I was six, I watched as a man insulted my father after dad refused to allow the guy to cut in front him in the bakery line. After a few words were exchanged, I watched as my father took him out back to where we old-schoolers call “behind the woodshed” where he proceeded to pummel the poor chap silly before he apologized and slunk off.
As a young boy, all I could think of was how proud I was of my father when he kicked that guy’s butt. My brother and I were laughing about how cool it was my dad clocked this guy when we were sternly interupted for the compulsory lessons about conflict that this particular pummeling demonstrated.

Freedom -Free-dom frē-dəm\ n. The quality or state of being free as a: the absence of necessity, coercion, or constraint in choice or action. b: Liberation from slavery. c: The quality or state of being exempt or released usually from something onerous. © 2008 Merriam Webster Inc.
Many people think of Independence Day as a day off from work. A day to shoot off fireworks. A chance to enjoy a summer barbecue, a weekend camping trip or a day at the beach. But when I think of Independence Day, all at once I am filled with both gratutide and an overabundance of caution. I celebrate the magnificent gift of freedom that our founders bestowed upon us with their fantastic experiment, yet I am increasingly wary of the current generation of it’s handlers. As Americans, we owe our allegiance to our Constitution, not some elected body that pretends to carry out our wishes every few odd years so they can maintain their stranglehold on power.

Although I often scoff at corny liberal bumper stickers, the latest one “2008: End of an error” couldn’t be more prescient, given the political landscape we find ourselves in. As an independent conservative, I readily admit that on the issue of George Bush, I now have come to agree with many a liberal and believe that Bush has surpassed Bill Clinton as the worst president in American history.
That doesn’t mean that I’ll necessarily crowd the polls to vote for a Democrat just because Bush has turned his back on me and millions of other Americans, just that Bush was all talk. Nothing more than a bunch of Texas euphemisms. He has consistently failed to deliver during the balance of both terms, angering Democrats (good) and alienating Republicans (bad).

Only in the mind of a liberal did George Bush, the CIA or any American have anything to do with the September 11th attacks.
Only in the mind of a liberal should society sanction and pay for the execution of an unborn baby, but not the execution of those beyond redemption.
Only in the mind of a liberal is Osama bin Laden a holy warrior, while George Bush the anti-Christ

The most important element of any national security strategy is border security. Borders are one of the primary ways we are distinguished as a nation. A border is solemn. It is not an abstract notion; not something to be held as inconsequential or violated any time a foreigner chooses to do so. On June 10th, 2007, while Congress was ratcheting up the rhetoric to try and convince the American people it was serious about border security, I personally witnessed my borders being repeatedly violated by foreign nationals coming ashore undetected by law enforcement or military personnel. This time, the violators were probably the harmless crew of a foreign cargo vessel. Next time they could be al Qaeda-linked terrorists.

“Oh, Oh, its answer is an AK-47″ - Al Aqsa Television 4/16/2007
When the Palestinian people held free and fair elections and Hamas was handed the reigns of power back in early 2006, the conventional wisdom was that radical elements within the various Palestinian factions would be neutralized or at least tempered if they were given a stake in their own future. Despite a staunch refusal to renounce violence and continuing calls for the destruction of Israel by the Palestinians, many in the international community lent their full support to the fledgling government.
After the elections, when it became clear that Hamas was still beholden to the annihilation of the Jews, Israel, the United States and Canada among others swiftly cut off foreign aid, in effect levying sanctions against the Palestinian government. But as we’ve seen time and time again in Iraq, Iran, North Korea and many others, sanctions themselves do not work and in reality have the opposite effect, hardening the resolve of those living under them.

Last week, I made the case that liberals lacked the will and the spine to fight when necessary. Liberal opposition to that column was minuscule but very loud, which is in and of itself, stereotypically liberal. There is yet to be one cogent, coherent liberal argument why we should allow Iraq to fall under the control of al Qaeda, because a US withdrawal could mean just that.
All they can muster is some name-calling and emotional arguments that we are the aggressors who bombed the hell out of innocent Iraqis. Oh yeah, they also love the troops and want them to come home. That and some nutty conspiracy theories that the US wants Iraqi oil or permanent bases so the neo-conservatives can take over the world is all they’ve got. The reason why John Murtha’s treasonous strategy is a non-starter and the reason why liberals are now beginning to lose momentum on the debate over the war, is that they are –once again– appealing to emotion instead of reason and ignoring the real central issues of the Iraq debate. The truth and consequences.

With nearly two years left until the 2008 election, many of the candidates will travel to key primary states to get an early edge, courting voters and making stump speeches. Hillary Clinton is no exception. She has had her eye on the White House for years despite numerous denials. A few years back, she made a strategic drift to the center, hoping to woo veterans and other segments of the conservative base by trying to appear hawkish on the war in Iraq. But now, sensing a sea change in America’s support for the war, she has reversed course and is listing to port once again.
Many conservatives are horrified at the prospect of another Clinton presidency, but I am more worried about potential shenanigans by the First Lady, should Hillary get elected. I don’t believe she will win the White House, although it’s too early to say what will happen. I also don’t believe there are many Americans who haven’t already made up their minds about Mrs. Clinton. She is far too polarizing a figure.

This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my rifle is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than the enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will. My rifle and I know that what counts in war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, or the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit. My rifle is human, even as I am human, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strengths, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will keep my rifle clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other. Before God I swear this creed. My rifle and I are the defenders of my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life. So be it, until victory is America’s and there is no enemy. - U.S. Marine Corps Rifleman’s Creed.
The Rifleman’s Creed exemplifies what it means to be a Marine. The rifleman is the most basic element of the Marine Corps command structure. Without the rifleman, the Corps is nothing.

The depths to which Democrats will sink in order to score cheap political points knows no bounds. As a result of all of that free love and LSD in the glory days of their youth, Democrat thought processes are detached from the here and now. They still use 40 year old political slogans to describe modern 21st century threats. They engage in repeated oversimplifications of complex problems, which leads to goofy beliefs like the one that Bush orchestrated 9/11 to benefit the “military industrial complex” or that there is any scientific consensus on the root cause of rising Earth temperatures.
The cold reality today is that there are US boots on the ground in Iraq. The nature of this conflict means those boots are increasingly being recovered with a foot and a single dogtag secured by the laces so that when that soldier gets killed by an IED constructed with Iranian ordinance or electronics we can identify him and notify his next of kin.

Would you like to speak German? How about Japanese? Ever wanted to learn Spanish, Arabic, Korean or Farsi? If the Democratic Party has it’s way, you may get your chance to reach native fluency in one or more of these foreign languages sooner than you thought. If the current House and Senate Democratic leadership were sitting atop Capitol Hill when the US entered W.W.II, you’d be eating schnitzel in celebration of Oktoberfest or ringing in the new year with a nice warm sake.
It is only by coming together as a nation that we were able to defeat Nazi tyranny and Japanese imperialism. Back then, the cost was hundreds of thousands of US combat deaths. So with the country more divided than ever in our history, how do Democrats expect to defeat the enemy in Iraq? Oh that’s right, I forgot. Democrats aren’t interested in victory, only in retreat, or as they like to call it, “redeployment”. They keep arguing that Bush has caused terrorism to flourish in the Middle East, that the world is more dangerous than ever, and that it’s Bush’s fault.
