What do we really know about Barack Obama?  Well, he's been in the Senate less than one full term, he's never owned a business or been in a business.  He's been a community organizer.  He belonged to a church for 20 years whose paster has been exposed as a bigoted anti-American.  He thinks we have57 states...wait, what was that?

With a little help from Rush listeners, the Democrat race was really getting fun to watch.  That is, until Rev. Wright Wrong Wrong got involved.  From that point on, it's turned into a race war! 

"Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton came under fire Thursday for roiling racial waters again by asserting that she, and not rival Democrat Barack Obama, can attract enough white voters to forge a “winning coalition.”

“There

Wednesday morning after a couple of primaries the previous day is always interesting.  As the pundits are all calling Shrillary Clinton "toast", and proclaiming Obama the candidate to beat, I spotted a couple of articles that I hope Juan McCain will notice as well.  This one, and this one show our displeasure that he was chosen to be our candidate; ...<< MORE >>

Some times I can go a couple of days without finding something to rant about.  Today I found TWO!  James Carroll of the Boston Globe provided me with the second today!  He writes;

"INSANITY is defined as repeating one mistaken action again and
again, each time expecting a better result that never comes. Prime
example: the United States in Iraq. Washington perceived a weapons of
mass destruction threat from Saddam Hussein, but instead of responding
with diplomacy - internationally coordinated weapons inspections - it
went to war. When Saddam Hussein was toppled, the initiative should
have passed from the Pentagon to a State Department-led ...

I've long held the attitude that our invasion of Iraq was a great choice!  Why?  My friends Omar & Mohammed taught me early on in the war about Iraqis and their collective nature.  They have been traditionally secular, intermarrying between Sunni & Shia, and highly educated.  Today I read a justification for that attitude from the minds of Iraqis thanks to Mohammed's post.  He had been monitoring a BBC site asking the question, "Should Arab nations have nuclear weapons?"  He translated and posted some of the Iraqi's answers to that question, and they are likely to be a ...<< MORE >>

I'd heard rumors that a "freak" happenstance had taken one of BAMC's (it's now SAMCC, but locally we still call it Bamcee) heroes.  Until a few moments ago, I didn't know it was one of my former Fisher House residents, and someone I so admired for his spirit and courage.  I watched Merlin German go from hard to look at, to radiant in his progress.  He and his family were residents of Fisher House for over two years.  We all believe he was well on his way to recovery.  Every time I saw him, he ...<< MORE >>

I work with, interact with soldiers like these, and I love it when newspapers actually publish stories like this one; "Donna Kiernan, 43, is moving into the 3,000-square-foot barn this week — it has an 875-square-foot apartment built in. And it has a bunkhouse, where the guys from her husband’s unit can sleep. << MORE >>

It is difficult to understand how this woman got into a leadership role in our government!  Power Line has a word for word reply to a rare pointed question at a press conference.  How the reporter was allowed to get this question out is a mystery, and her rambling ridiculous answer shows how totally out of touch she is with the real problems & answers needed by Americans spending more on gasoline than any other time!  The only time she relates, is when she is relaying what others have told her of their experience.  Her final closing ...<< MORE >>

This is a story that needs to be told.  There are stories out there worth telling, butthis one hits very close to home for me and mine.  Anyone who does not understand the bond that binds these warriors can learn from this story.

Another unfortunate GOP fund raiser made the mistake of calling me.  My response to him was not what he'd hoped to hear;

GOP guy: "Hello Mrs.....?"

Me:  "Yes"

GOP guy:  "Ma'am, Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid are trying to stop our conservative agenda.  Are you keeping up with the election coverage?"

Me:  "I'm a political blogger, what's your guess?"

GOP guy:  [chuckles]  "I see, Ma'am.  Then you know...."

Me:  [interrupting] "What I know is that you folks are in a fix of your own making!  If the legislators had voted like conservatives, Pelosi and Reid would not be in offices with leadership ability to ...<< MORE >>
