Pearl Harbor: 70 Years Ago The World Turned Upside Down
Dec 7, 2011 Political
Seventy years ago today the course of history changed when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor killing people and devastating our Navy. The United States entered World War II and helped defeat the evil forces waging war.
I have visited Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona and the experience was very humbling. The absolute enormity of the Memorial and the solemness of the final resting place for so many Americans is something I will never forget.
God bless the men and women who suffered on that day and the souls of those who were killed. Thanks for responding to the threat and preserving our Nation for those of us who followed you.
Information on visiting Pearl Harbor.
Returning Home
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Obama Is The Commander In Thief
Jul 1, 2010 Political
Barack Obama tried to hide his agenda for wealth redistribution until he slipped up and told Joe the Plumber that he [Obama] wanted to spread the wealth around. Since he took office he has done nothing to help the economy and has quadrupled the national debt. The 600 billion dollar debt Bush left was bad enough but Obama is up to 1.4 TRILLION and he has not completed two years.
Obama is busy spending money we do not have to reward his supporters as was the case with the Stimulus and he is busy working on taking wealth from those who produce and giving it to those who do not. He is doing this with the takeover of health care, the banks, the car companies and with a cap and tax scheme.
[note]Obama said jobs (a three letter word for Joe BiteMe) were his number one priority. Private companies added 13,000 new jobs in June. How is that for Stimulating the Economy?[/note]
Obama is piling up huge amounts of debt that we will not be able to pay. He has burdened generations of unborn children by saddling them with debt.
The national debt of the US is at its highest level since WW II and will be 62% of our economy by the end of the year:
The federal debt will represent 62% of the nation’s economy by the end of this year, the highest percentage since just after World War II, according to a long-term budget outlook released today by the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office. USA Today
Barack Obama has his heart set on taking wealth and spreading it around to “level the playing field” and he does not care how he goes about this theft.
Additionally, he has stolen the future of millions of unborn Americans by amassing debt we cannot possibly pay off.
Barack Obama is the Commander in Thief…
Never surrender, never submit.

Joe Biden On Iraq, Then And Now
Feb 15, 2010 Political
Politicians are a special group of people who can say one thing on one day and the exact opposite on another. Obama has done it and so have many others. The latest is from VP Joe (nobody messes with Joe) Biden. Biden has an entirely different take on Iraq now than he did in 2002:
Joe Biden in 2002: “We have no choice but to eliminate the threat. This is a guy [Saddam Hussein] who is an extreme danger to the world.” [Real Clear Politics – Video]
We had no choice but to eliminate him. Admittedly, we could have gone in and just eliminated him and that might have solved the issue. Instead, after a lot of talk and diplomacy, we resumed the war with that country. We eliminated the threat that Biden referred to in 2002.
But now Nobody Messes with Joe says that what we did was not worth the price we paid.
Vice President Joe Biden says the Iraq war hasn’t been worth its “horrible price.” My Way News
There is no doubt that the price of the war has been horrible. Any time we lose members of our military it is horrible. It is also too much to lose just one person but was the victory worth the cost?
We got rid of the guy Biden said had to go and remember, no one is smarter on foreign policy than Joe, just ask him. We have a fairly stable country in Iraq that could grow to be a big ally and trade partner. It is on the path to self governance and freedom. The people who lived under the oppression of Hussein might see things differently than Biden. And remember, Biden said we had “NO CHOICE” but to eliminate Hussein. If we had no choice then cost is not a deciding factor.
It is one thing to lament at the price in blood and treasure but it is another to say the venture was not worth it. We entered WWII and liberated Europe after we were attacked at Pearl Harbor. We suffered nearly half as many US deaths in the D-Day invasion than in the entire Iraq War. Total deaths in WWII are much higher than they will ever be in Iraq so was the effort worth it?
According to Biden it might not have been.
The last thing the public needs is for its leaders to say that the price we paid in blood and treasure was not worth the outcome.
But Biden did say that it could be one of the major accomplishments of the administration.
Obama picked him because he is an insurance policy.
