Our Leader Looks Like a Wimp Compared to... The French??

Okay, something is wrong when the French President is tougher on Iran than the US President. I mean, doesn't this quote sound like some Bizzarro world version of a news story, "[French] President Sarkozy in particular pushed hard [to confront Iran]. He had been "frustrated" for months about Mr. Obama's reluctance to confront Iran, a senior French government official told us, and saw an opportunity to change momentum." Instead, we find Obama didn't want to spoil his 'image of success' for the first UN meeting he attended.

So, we have a President who causes the French to say, "America needs to be tougher." A President who is more concerned with the appearance of success instead of actually doing real work for success. Wow. Could an "inexperienced" leader, like Sarah Palin, have done any worse?

Debate on Morality

Wow! This video is really incredible. It looks at "morality" from a different perspective than some may think. It essentially says, in the search for the 'real' we must all, conservative and liberal alike, give up some of our preconceived ideas about 'good' and 'evil' morality.

Wow!! Do We Have Another President Wishing to Reform Language?

So, the last president to get into language peccadilloes was a Democrat who carefully guided the conversation about his philanderings, and if he lied about them. This time, we have a Democrat who won't acknowledge the new healthcare bill would be a tax on people, even though the bill itself includes the word "tax" not once, but twice.

Guess what, when you try to set yourself up as the lone authority on EVERYTHING, people tend to believe you have dictatorial tendencies and stop trusting you. See the video of Obama attempting to singlehandedly redefine the English language below.

Friday Awesome!

I saw this image and just couldn't resist reposting it.

The Big ACORN Story... or Not?

So, if you're an independent minded person who surfs multiple political sites on the web, you've probably run across the Big Government web site's continuing story about ACORN. Even the liberal news site Huffington Post has an article about it. CNN has some coverage of the story, but you have to search for it.

Apparently, a national organization that receives Federal funds offering illegal advice doesn't draw repoting from most main stream news outlets. When they do report it, they sound more like apologists instead of investigatory news agencies.

So my thought for everyone out there is watch the videos, read the transcripts, review the reporting then make up your own mind. Believe me, this story is far from over.

A Short, Powerful Article

One phrase I've heard before is about a "war to the knife." The idea is that you fight hard, until the job is done, even if you have to get up close. This means fighting until your enemy is well and truly defeated and not capitulating because the way is hard for you.

Today, I read a great article in Real Clear Politics by David Warren. His article talks about how the Allies stopped short of completing the job in WWI, which inevitably led to WWII. He rightly points out that something similar happened in Iraq during the first Gulf War, which necessitated the need for Gulf War II to finish the job and remove the destabilising dictator, Saddam Hussein.

As Warren continues his article, he points to mistakes happening now, mistakes that are allowing our War on Terror to flag and weakening our country. That he manages to cover all of this so clearly in under 800 makes this a must read article.

Remember the Fallen

Today is a day to remember. Today, we all should take a moment and think about what happened 8 years ago. We were attacked because our way of life, our foibles, our freedoms insulted their religion.

We should nver forget. We should always remember that Radical Islamists, supported by men who grow rich off of a product they sell in our country to fuel our lives, took advantage of our modern marvels to wound us.
