Obama in 08 - Osama in 09

With all this talk about Iran testing missiles, about Russia threatening a "military response" if our defense agreement with the Czech Republic is ratified, with terrorists running rampant around the world, are you thanking your lucky stars that we live in a nation with the most powerful and sophisticated military? That we have elite personnel and superior technologies to employ in dire situations (such as a nuclear attack) to ensure our safety? Well, we wont feel safe and sound for long, if Barack Obama gets his way. At one of the most dangerous times in our history, as madrassas are churning out hundreds and hundreds of suicidal madmen whose only mission is to murder infidels (that's you and me, ladies and gentleman), Democratic Presidential Nominee Barack Obama is planning to enfeeble our military and cripple our national security! Doubt me? Have a listen straight from the horses mouth!

1,215 Servicemembers Re-enlist in Iraq

From Army.mil News -
"Servicemembers from all over Iraq gathered in the Al Faw Palace rotunda at Camp Victory, Baghdad, to reenlist and celebrate Independence Day. All 1,215 servicemembers celebrated by raising their right hands and pledging to continue defending the "land of the free" in what is the largest reenlistment ceremony since the all-volunteer force began in 1973 according to Command Sgt. Maj. Marvin L. Hill, command sergeant major, Multi-National Forces - Iraq."

I want to stress a couple of things here.

First of all, I want to remind America that our military is an all-volunteer military. That all of these servicemen and women first joined the Air Force, the Marine Corps, the Army, and the Navy by their own volition, seeking to serve and protect their country and to make a difference in the world. And, by their own choice, are re-enlisting in huge numbers to keep up the fight.

Secondly, I want to point out that if the Iraq war is such a "mistake" then why are these servicemen and women re-joining the mission over there? The answer is that they understand something that Barack Obama and Harry Reid and Jack Murtha don't. They see first-hand the fragility of a newly-founded democracy - not entirely unlike ours 232 years ago. They see the desire of the Iraqi people to live in peace - not under the thumb of a crazed dictator or Al Queda. They see that there is a job to be done. A job that men and women have died for - and they must stay the course until that job is complete. It may take many more years - much more time away from their families and friends, much more time in the killer heat and the danger - to get this new nation on its feet. They know that they are creating peace and bringing hope...and are making a bit of history in the process.

O Beautiful for Patriot Dream

Happy Birthday America!

Take a quick moment to watch "America: Why I Love Her" by John Wayne. The Duke says it well...

To all the brave and selfless Americans who have fought and are still fighting in the cause of liberty, thank you!!!!!!!

Happy Celestial Being Day!

While reading about the 4th of July festivities in my neck of the woods, I was irritated to read that the Sachse 4th of July parade had a theme - and it wasnt the 4th of July. This year apparently, it's "Stars". Parade entrants are asked to "interpret the theme any way you want," the article says "You can be a movie star or even a celestial being!" Doesn't the 4th of July already have a theme? People should be dressing up as Uncle Sam and Betsy Ross, not Miley Cyrus or Betelgeus. I guess it's not surprising that our kids know more about Brangelina than about their nations history.
