It is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favors. — George Washington, Thanksgiving Proclamation October 3, 1789

A Modern Missile Crisis

January 9, 2012   ·   By   ·   0 Comments

Shark Tank has an excellent interview with Rep. Allen West (R-FL) concerning national defense and foreign policy.

The defense cuts Democrats are drooling to make are reckless and will endanger our nation at a time when our Armed Forces desperately need to be built back up after nearly a decade of fighting terrorism on two different fronts–and faces new threats from belligerent nations like Iran, North Korea, and China.

There is also a threat in our back yard from Venezuela and Marxist America-hater Hugo Chavez.  This is actually nothing new.  German daily Die Welt reported over a year ago about the burgeoning partnership between missile-equipped and nearly-nuclear Iran and Venezuela.

While Barack Obama may fancy he and Hugo Chavez as the Marxist Brothers, real Americans are under no illusions that Chavez is a friend of America.

Notice how easily this information rolls off West’s tongue during this interview.  This retired Army lieutenant colonel knows what he’s talking about, and–uniform or not–remains committed to protecting America.  Though he hasn’t been in congress two years yet, he is definitely presidential material.  Unlike some who insist on repeating asinine Clinton policy of treating acts of war like crimes, have their heads buried firmly in the sand, and don’t have a clue how to deal with evil, Rep. West gets it.

2012 is too soon, but 2016 or 2020?  Definitely.

Rep. Kelly Rakes IRS Officials Over the Coals

Bob Ellis

This is a very interesting and telling interview from Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA) of IRS Commissioner Steven Miller over the Obama Administration scandal involving IRS harassment of Tea Party and other conservative groups. I don't know why Kelly isn't trying to extend an olive branch. Why isn't he trying to find common ground? Why isn't he trying to persuade this guy to see things his way? Why is he being so mean?

Minnesota: A letter of indictment

Bradlee Dean

The front: homosexual marriage. The end: schoolchildren. This week, Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton (labeled one of America’s worst senators by TIME) signed homosexual marriage legislation into un-law after the un-lawful House and Senate approved it. In concert these branches of the Minnesota government have proven themselves to be in defiance against the laws of Nature and Nature’s God, as found in the Declaration of Independence.

Promoted from IRS Commissioner to ObamaCare Czar

Bob Ellis

Sarah Hall Ingram, the woman in charge of the IRS during it's high period of harassment of Tea Party and other conservative groups, is now going to be running ObamaCare. Joseph Grant, the IRS commissioner who became the fall guy for the Obama Administration in this scandal, is just a patsy. He was going to be done with the job in less than a month anyway, and he wasn't in charge during the time when the IRS was busy muzzling Tea Party groups.

Did the IRS Act on Its Own?

Robert Romano

“We were simply doing what our bosses ordered.” So say the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) employees in Cincinnati who were charged with targeting tea party and other conservative groups with improper and invasive scrutiny, according a Fox19 in Cincinnati exclusive report on May 15. If true, this seemingly contradicts a Treasury Inspector General report on the matter released earlier that day.

Re-Branding, Re-Making & Re-Marketing the President

Carrie K. Hutchens

Hillary Clinton has successfully regained popularity (and a following) after doing or saying something totally stupid -- like the "under sniper-fire lie" during the campaign.  However, I'm betting it is not going to be so easy for Obama and his friends to come out of the present scandals that, among many things, involve lies told to the American people.

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the party over to the so-called moderates wouldn't make any sense at all." - Ronald Reagan, Nov. 10, 1964
