The Least We Can Do
As our Commander in Chief contemplates whether to substitute his own judgment for the advice of the General he appointed to shake up a troubled war effort in Afghanistan, our soldiers are dying.
As our President considers his options in the eighth meeting with his war council this afternoon, our soldiers are dying.
As Time magazine reports that “secondary trauma” may have driven Major Nidal Malik Hasan to massacre 13 US soldiers at Fort Hood, our soldiers are dying.
As the politically correct turn a blind eye to inadequate diligence and communication as to Major Hasan’s actions and words, clear signals of a problem brewing, our soldiers are dying.
As the liberal media refuses to identify radical Islamic fanaticism as a motivating force behind the Fort Hood shootings, our soldiers are dying.
As we try to find new, more comfortable words to describe the war on terror, our soldiers are dying.
During deployment, our heroic soldiers and their families live in constant fear for their lives, fear of an enemy unlike any other this country has ever faced; an enemy that will gladly sacrifice civilians, women and children, with no remorse, in order to further their cause and kill the infidels. The least we can do is provide them with a sense of direction and purpose, with the comfort that there is a plan, that their Commander in Chief is decisive and resolute. The least we can do is provide them with assurance that when they are home, on our own soil and in the confines of their own base, they will indeed be safe and that we will not allow a misguided sense of all things politically correct to prevent us from ensuring that safety. On this Veteran’s Day, indeed, every day, that’s the least we can do.
Two Simple Words (a poem)
by Jennifer D. Moore (with further credit to Kelli for providing)
Have you thanked a soldier lately
For everything they’ve done?
For all their work and sacrifice;
For battles lost or won?Have you ever passed a moment in quiet solitude?
Thinking of a way to show support and gratitude?
What about two simple words?Thank You
Remember those that came before us,
and those that stand with us today,
And to those whose time is not yet here,
I have two words to say -Thank You
You have the Heart to stand and fight.
The Soul to stand for what is right.
You stand for Freedom, day and night.
For all this and more -Thank You
Two simple words you may not hear enough
When the good is hard to see, or the battle is getting rough.
Although your heart may break, yet and still you remain tough.
For all that and more -Thank You
And though I might not know your name,
We’re Red, White and Blue… family the same.
You serve our country willingly, protect freedom without fail.
Compared your brave actions, these words may seem a little pale.
But still… for everything you are, and everything you do
I’d like to say two simple words -Thank You

Lord Monckton of England, who is a man made global warming (MMGW) critic, recently made a speech regarding a climate change treaty (Copenhagen Treaty) which he believes Obama will sign at the UNFCCC in December 2009 (1). According to Lord Monckton this treaty will subjugate America to Communist rule and will transfer American wealth to third world countries.
Only if our congress allows it, which given the collective stupidity they just might. I doubt any of them realize that a treaty cannot really be the law of the land.
the constitution, as aztek reads it, says that once ratified, that it is the law of the land, which is true,…but the part that he leaves out, says that no treaty shall supersede the constitutions either US or state.
and he has still not answered my question:
which is more important…the safety of this country or a treaty.
i’ll make it easy:
A) country
B) treaty
one letter…what could be easier.
i’ll even answer for me:
A……
your turn aztek
crickets crickets….
Interesting article on the climate change treaty

It’s a sad state of affairs, when someone from another country can define our constitution, while the ones that are supposed to uphold it are busy trying to subjugate the very document that made this country great.
Well, seachickens game is coming on soon, may be back on later.

Sen. Charles Schumer says a hole in federal gun laws allowed the man charged with a shooting rampage in Fort Hood, Texas to purchase a gun.
Another attack on gun owners. Just what hole is he speaking? Is Schumer implying that he was a terrorist and should have been flagged?
Healthcare would rise as a result of legislation approved a week ago by the House, and billions of dollars in projected savings contained in the measure will be difficult to maintain, according to a report by a top official at the agency that oversees Medicare.
The legislation would expand insurance coverage to an estimated 32 million people who now lack it, according to the report, creating a demand for services that “could be difficult to meet initially … and could lead to price-increases, cost-shifting and/or changes in providers’ willingness to treat patients with low-reimbursement health coverage.”
The analysis was issued by Richard Foster, the chief actuary at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, which is part of the Health and Human Services Department.
Let the spin begin
Add this to it too…

Comes as no surprise to any of us here that stated the moment it was added that it would be stripped from the bill! LOL! One thing you can plan on, a lib doesn’t change their spots unless there is something in it for them!

and we all know this is hogwash. Military personal are given privilege because of their military service. I would like to know what ‘hole’ he is talking about.
starting to get dark here..i had to go out and kill some poor defenseless targets…..
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani accused the Obama administration of “repeating the mistake of history” by bringing the self-proclaimed mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks and his accomplices to New York for a civilian trial, saying the administration has definitively reverted to a “pre-9/11 approach.”
The mayor who oversaw rescue and recovery efforts in the wake of the attacks on lower Manhattan told “Fox News Sunday” the president is only granting the “wish” of Khalid Sheikh Mohammad at the expense of the American people and that the conspirators should be tried in a military tribunal.
He questioned why the administration would use the tribunals for other suspects but not the Sept. 11 conspirators.
“What the Obama administration is telling us loud and clear is that both in substance and reality, the War on Terror from their point of view is over,” Giuliani said. “(Mohammad) should be tried in a military tribunal. He is a war criminal. This is an act of war.”
I would have to say Giuliani has it just about right!
it seems the left has taken the pre 9.11 mentality up as a cause……a cause its the opposite of what bush did. He had no other attacks on his watch. The old dem tactic scares me.
Obama’s remarks were made during a debate over the Military Commissions Act that set up regulations in response to the Supreme Court’s Hamdan decision that outlawed the tribunals because of unconstitutional procedures.
Obama assured the senators that terrorists like KSM would not receive the same rights as American criminals get, that he would certainly be tried in a military court “with all the bells and whistles.”

Now we know why congress doesn’t have time to read the HC reform and C&T bills… they’re busy arguing over a resolution to honour Confucius’ 2560 birthday, courtesy of Green (D, TX) and 40 other dems.
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=hr111-784
“Whereas the teaching of Confucius that ‘what one does not wish for oneself, one ought not to do to anyone else; what one recognizes as desirable for oneself, one ought to be willing to grant to others’ is a model for ethical behavior and for the promotion of harmony among us;
Whereas Confucius taught that politicians must be models of truthfulness and morality, which serves as a reminder to all of our duty to serve with the utmost honor and respect: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives honors the 2,560th anniversary of the birth of Confucius and recognizes his invaluable contributions to philosophy and social and political thought.
