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.

Examiner Editorial
November 22, 2009
On Friday, The Washington Examiner’s chief political correspondent, Byron York, had another stunning report on the scandal involving the firing of Americorps Inspector General Gerald Walpin. Earlier this year, Walpin was fired in what appears to be a politically motivated attempt by Democrats to silence his investigation into allegations of misuse of $800,000 in federal funds by Sacramento mayor and former NBA star Kevin Johnson. The funds were provided by the federal Americorps program to St. Hope, a nonprofit school that Johnson then headed.
York’s latest blockbuster is his reporting of a congressional report prepared by Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, and Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif. While probing the misuse of funds allegations, congressional investigators were told that Johnson made improper advances toward three young women at St. Hope. The report also alleges that Michelle Rhee, D.C.’s nationally-celebrated chancellor of schools and now Johnson’s fiancee, acted as a fixer for her future husband when she was on the St. Hope board of directors. Rhee allegedly reassured St. Hope employees that she would investigate Johnson’s inappropriate conduct. Shortly afterward, Johnson’s personal attorney visited one of the young women making the accusations. At about the same time, investigators were told, Johnson offered one of the women $1,000 a month to keep quiet.
Walpin was cleared of any wrongdoing by the Integrity Committee of the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency. The Obama administration still defends the decision to fire Walpin, but a growing body of evidence suggests the president’s aides feared Walpin would expose corruption of two rising stars in the Democratic Party.
York has doggedly and fairly covered this story from the beginning. Too bad reporters at other mainstream media outlets didn’t do the same. To the extent the Walpin story has gotten any attention, the coverage has been appallingly slanted. The latest Los Angeles Timesheadline, for example, reads, “Republicans criticize dismissal of Americorps watchdog.” The facts, which are inconvenient things and belong to no political party, show clearly that Walpin was digging into Democratic malfeasance.
York was also out front breaking stories on Van Jones, the former communist and 9/11 truther, appointed by Obama as his “green jobs czar.” At one point, York noted that nothing had been reported or broadcast about Jones’ radical views by The Washington Post,New York Times, “ABC World News,” “NBC Nightly News” or “CBS Evening News” until he was forced to resign from the White House. With York’s latest scoop on the Walpin story, readers can be sure The Examiner will cover the important stories and cover them fairly — even when the biggest names in journalism will not.

The Slaughter Of America’s Democratic Republic
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!
