About a month ago I put up a post
Candidate Obama would demand impeachment of President Obama
In it I argued that Libya was in middle of a civil war and I did not and do not feel we have any business being involved in a civil war especially since was no direct threat to the United States. I noted that not once has Obama honestly described the situation in Libya. Like him or not, Moammar Gaddafi is/was facing an armed insurrection. Obama has referred to the rebels repeatedly as “peaceful protesters” when in fact they are armed revolutionaries. Continue reading
Every day that Obama is in the White House we get further proof, not that we need it, that all we wants to do is redistribute wealth like a good little Socialist:
“I said, ‘You want to repeal health care? Go at it,’” Obama said. “‘We’ll have that debate. You’re not going to be able to do that by nickel-and-diming me in the budget. You think we’re stupid?’”
Perhaps the saddest part of any combat operation is the prospect of friendly fire. It’s something that we in the military train hard to avoid, but always happens to some degree or another.
In 2003, while we were fighting our way north, my troop even came under fire by another troop that mistook us in the early morning for the Iraqis. They hadn’t expected us to cut through their defense as quickly as we did and they thought the Iraqis had turned around to go after them. Luckily, no one was injured in the short confusion, but it highlights that it happens. Continue reading

John Gibson had a quite interesting show this morning which illustrated the class warfare being waged against those who pay the majority of this country’s taxes. The caller, Howard, built a business up from scratch to a point where he made 3 million a year. He was having to pay 1 million of that in taxes and was sick of it, especially when they now want MORE!

“TANSTAAFL”
There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch.
The first place I read that was in one of Robert Heinlein’s novels.
Nothing is free. Continue reading
In this day and age of 24-hour news service, the attention span of the world is active only as long as the MSM elects to keep specific dramas ongoing on the tube. ‘News’ is ‘entertainment’ and the television ratings are all encompassing. Rating is money, and money, naturally, is the Lord of the marketplace. What ‘sells’, therefore, is what is splashed on the tube for the 6 O’clock news.
Reporting of the ongoing devastation in Japan, has been relegated to afterthought unless some dramatic development happens to come about that demands a ‘Stop Press’ shout from the Perry White’s of America. Presently the MSM of America are too busy spinning the budget ‘cuts’ demanded by those uncaring, people-hating Republicans trying to gut Planned Parenthood, or worse, de-fund the Cherry Blossom Festival up the Beltway.

It appears that President Obama’s favorite company has been caught with its hands in the cookie jar. The question is – is anyone going to do something about it?
Of course, the company is Google and the relationship between the president and Google’s corporate executives is paying hefty returns on both ends. Google plied the president with nearly a million dollars in political contributions during his run for the presidency and now the company is rewarded with government contracts and policy initiatives like Net Neutrality that will pad the company’s bottom line.
