Military Suicides at an All Time High – Do War Critics Care?
General Peter Chiarelli, Army Chief of Staff, reported that as of Monday 140 active duty soldiers have committed suicide this year. While the numbers have declined for the past few months, we are still on pace to exceed the number of active duty suicides in 2008.

Why the Democrats Suck!!
I've always considered myself a political Independent. I've like to believe that I've always voted for the best candidate - Democrat or Republican. I never voted for a Bush (I never thought either was the best candidate), but I have voted for both Republicans and Democrats in local and statewide elections. So, when I look at the results of yesterday's elections, I see... »
Can You Handle the Truth on Troop Levels?
It's amazing to me how short-term memory loss effects otherwise intelligent people. As the rhetoric over troop levels in Afghanistan ratchets up even higher, can I remind my Obama-hating friends of something? The President has already sent more troops to Afghanistan this year!!

Rush Earned His Rejection

The big news today was the surprise selection of President Obama as the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. Even as a HUGE President Obama supporter, I was surprised and taken aback by his selection. No disrespect to the President, but when I think about the other American Presidents and World Leaders that have received this prestigious award, I felt his... »
The Cost of the Politics of Fear
One of the costs of freedom Americans are forced to endure is violent crime. While most violent crime in our nation is perpetrated amongst people who know or related to one another - we also have a very long history of political or biased crime. Often referred to as "Hate Crimes" - these offenses are crimes... »

President Obama recently commented that America could be considered on the the largest Muslim nations in the world. This comment has created another wave of screams and cries from Conservative pundits online. Some see this comment as proof-positive that President Obama is an "undercover Muslim". Others interpret it as the President using false population estimates to curry favor with the Muslims... »
