Patton Urinated on the Enemy: Ridiculous Hype About Marines Video

The last soldier I heard of urinating on the enemy was Gen. George S. Patton. Should the general, who, as much as any other, was responsible for defeating the Nazis, have been driven from the military for such and act? You’d think so from the hysteric response building in the mainstream and Left-leaning press to [...]

The War On Warriors

“Where do we find such men?” That memorable line is from the James Mitchner novel, The Bridges of Toko-Ri, and refers to intrepid aviators launching from a carrier to untold dangers. They know they may not return. They do it anyway. They are warriors, rare but essential for victory. But there’s a disturbing trend in the military today, [...]

Divided We Celebrate

The July 4th, 1776 promise of equality through opportunity has been turned into an unfair and restricted gold mine for those who play the system.

Obama’s Budget Tactics: He Wouldn’t Dare, Or Would He?

Would Obama veto a bill to continue soldiers’ pay? My daughter called almost in tears Friday morning as the budget fight was still in limbo. My son-in-law, an army Captain and veteran of Afghanistan, is preparing for deployment to Iraq – his second deployment in two years. Deployment is always rough – eight or more months [...]

Stay Out of Libya

It’s a complicated situation. Gaddafi is part of the Islamic extremism that targets the U.S. – but largely at his whim. He probably ordered the bombing of Pan Am flight 103, killing over 250, including Americans. Reagan immediately bombed his residence for the Berlin Disco murders, bringing him under control. Slobama – Is Obama too late [...]

Sleepwalking Through History: Is A New War Around the Corner?

As Congressman Peter King ended hearings on a pertinent subject, danger signs are everywhere. Like Europe in the 1930s, America is sleepwalking towards world war. Our leaders and most of the mainstream press overlook or excuse them, or admonish those who spotlight the portents. Racists! Bigots. “Islam is a religion of peace,” they exhort. “The majority don’t want Jihad.” Meanwhile, Militant [...]

Was General George S. Patton Assassinated Sixty-Five Years Ago Today?

Sixty-five years ago, on December 21, 1945, America lost one of its greatest champions of liberty – Gen. George S. Patton, Jr., a largely unsung hero today of the Liberal-Conservative battles that have raged in America most of this century. There is evidence he was assassinated. Patton, perhaps America’s greatest fighting general, died twelve days after [...]

Never Forget: Remembering 9/11 for the Horror It Was

I watched the National Geographic documentary on 9/11. I wondered if there would be any PC (politically correct) parts stressing diversity, peaceful Islam, or moralizing about how we had caused the shocking attack.

Obama’s Speech: Few Practical Solutions to Problems

I was surprised. The president praised the military in what seemed a sincere recognition of their accomplishment in Iraq as we wind down our involvement there. Instead of the vague and confusing term “terrorist,” he actually named some of the enemy, Al Qaida and the Taliban, which he’s begrudgingly done before. He did not try [...]

Hiroshima

Today is the 65th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima in 1945. That bomb, and a second dropped on Nagasaki three days later, ended World War II. Inevitably, liberals will use the occasion to reflect on how cruel, unjust and unneeded the two bombings were and thus the US was and is all those bad [...]
