In early October, U.S. Navy SEALs secretly captured one of the most wanted terrorists in Iraq, Ahmed Hashim Abed, the alleged mastermind of the murder and mutilation of four Blackwater USA security guards in Fallujah in 2004.
Now, three of the SEALs who captured him are facing criminal charges because Abed claims he was hit in the stomach by one of the SEALs.

To those of you who retain some remnant of dignity and the will to live your lives for yourselves, you have the chance to make the same choice. Examine your values and understand that you must choose one side or the other. Any compromise between good and evil only hurts the good and helps the evil.
~John Galt
When a long train of abuses and usurpations,pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism,it is their right,it is their duty,to throw off such government,and to provide new guards for their future securities.

We all know liberals hold our nation in low esteem. But when this distaste for all things America is combined with their obsessive delusions of grandeur, we are learning these people will destroy anything in their path to prove their disastrous schemes (we are way beyond ‘risky’) are actually mana from Heaven!
Today we have the latest scheme to pass their government take over and destruction of our private health care – just dictate it from the House without any actual vote. (more…)

Will Obama’s ocean-policy task force remain in lockstep with radical greens?
Frank Miniter
National Review Online, March 11, 2010
So Pres. Barack Obama’s “Interagency Ocean Policy Task Force” has decided that the opinions of America’s 60 million anglers aren’t worthy of its consideration.
This task force, headed by the chair of the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), was charged with drafting a national ocean policy of marine spatial planning to manage U.S. ocean territory and the Great Lakes. Its recommendations — due out later this month — could be enacted by executive order.
Here’s why anglers, and freedom-loving Americans, should be alarmed: Without input from recreational anglers and the conservation groups that represent them — such as Trout Unlimited, the U.S. Recreational Fishing & Boating Coalition, and the Association of Fish & Wildlife Agencies — decisions made under this new national oceans policy could be used to close saltwater and freshwater recreational-fishing areas.

Obama’s old foreign policy wasn’t working; thank goodness he’s hitting the reset button.
Victor Davis Hanson
National Review Online, March 10, 2010
Almost every element of Barack Obama’s once-heralded new “reset” foreign policy of a year ago either has been reset or likely soon will be.
Consider Obama’s approach to the eight-year-old War on Terror. Plans made more than a year ago to shut down the detention center at Guantanamo Bay by January 2010 have stalled. Despite loud proclamations about trying Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of 9/11, in a civilian court in New York, such an absurd pledge will probably never be kept.
Talk of trying our own former CIA interrogators for being too tough on terrorist suspects has also come to nothing. And why not put an end to the second-guessing of anti-terrorism protocols, since the Obama administration, in a single year, has quadrupled the number of assassinations by Predator drones of suspected Taliban and al-Qaeda operatives in Pakistan? After all, the targeted killing of hundreds of suspects is far more questionable than waterboarding three confessed killers. (more…)

[Do not read this article without a copy of the Constitution, and if you do not have one handy, shame on you (link here).]
A line is being drawn in the sand between the statists and Americans, and I use the term American in the grandest sense. The United States of America represents one of the last bastions of traditional liberalism, which is why the Left should no longer be
identified as liberal, but rather we should continue to identify its members as progressive statists. The Left believes the precepts of our Constitution have failed society, and thus, we must look towards the “enlightened democracies” of socialized Europe for guidance in the progression of American society.
We hear the mantra of rights professed daily by the progressives: education, work, social security, health care, etc. And since we do not live in a state of nature, the guarantor of those rights must be the government. This is the definition of a statist, and adherence to these beliefs is inherently in opposition to the Constitution. The Founders recognized that government could NEVER be the guarantor of rights which is why so much of the Constitution is written in terms of limiting powers conferred upon the government. (more…)

President Obama’s attempt to paint the Republicans into a corner with his latest health care reform proposal, and his determination to pass health care reform using outright lies and obfuscation, highlights what has become the motto of this administration: The end justifies any means. Is this what the majority of the Left in America signed onto?
In President Obama’s desperation to pass his radical health care reform bill, we have had the public show of the Obama administration and the (once-)mainstream media searching in vain for that elusive consensus that those dastardly Republicans, who only want to see the president fail, refuse to provide.
The Democrats and the president have not been able to bribe or coerce any Republicans into backing either the House or Senate version of the health care bill. The strategy was altered to rely on the (once-)mainstream media to portray the Republican Party as evil, obstructionist, in the pocket of big business, against the little guy, and the personification of hate…thus the Blair House “bipartisan” show produced and directed by the president himself.

A new Ivy League “fellow” will soon have the opportunity to teach students his belief that white people are “steering poison into the people-of-color communities” and that America should give up its wealth to the American Indians. This June, Princeton University will welcome to its hallowed halls former Obama Green Jobs Czar Van Jones, a self-proclaimed communist. The story of how America started down a path leading to communist instructors in our classrooms begs to be told.
In 1899, Vermonter John Dewey unveiled his vision for remaking American education — a vision swallowed whole by “progressive” educators and used to corrupt the themes and methods used to teach our young. In The School and Society, Dewey declared that education doesn’t occur “between teacher and pupil, or between teacher and parent”[i]. Education is a responsibility that society must execute using techniques “previously ignored as trivial, futile, or even condemned as positively evil”[ii]. (more…)
