Big Journalism : Is USA Today the Obama Administrationâs Next FOX News?

Thu, 11 Feb 2010 16:37:43 +0000

Here, here! In the Marine Corps, we have a saying..."Complacency kills." That is exactly what I fear most about this administration. Whether this Obama's complacency stems from a willful disregard, or because of a complete lack of experience and liberal naïveté...it's still complacency and IT NEEDS TO STOP NOW! I just hope that whenever these "jihadists" strike next - innocent, rational, tax-paying Patriots aren't the victims once again.

Breitbart.com : New aerial NYPD photos of 9/11 attack released

Wed, 10 Feb 2010 19:12:37 +0000

I couldn't agree more with "photonsoflight" above...the images of 9/11 should be seen by all Americans more often than not. Americans too easily take for granted the prosperity, freedoms, and opportunity they are afforded within our borders - the safest borders ever known to man - and are too quick to forget how easily it can all be taken away if/when we become idle and let our guard down. As a Marine with 2 combat tours (Iraq '03, Afghanistan '04), I immediately moved to New York City after leaving active duty in '05...and my office was based in 2 WFC - which is right at Ground Zero. Every day I walked into work, I was directly reminded exactly why I served my country and who our enemies are. My only wish is that the rest of America is as aware and stays informed...

Breitbart.com : Rep. John Murtha, Iraq war critic, dies at 77

Mon, 8 Feb 2010 21:10:39 +0000

Actually, "Eric09", it was people like Murtha that voted "YES" for an invasion of Iraq...how quickly (& conveniently) you forget. It wasn't until 2005 that Murtha took his stance against the war...and his fellow Marines in Haditha, Iraq. Funny how he came out blabbing that the Marines in question were awful and needed to be thrown in jail - before an investigation was even launched. He then proceeded to state that the "surge" would never work. Well, I guess that's just two more idiotic stances of Murtha proven wrong (Marines were found innocent and the surge worked). Murtha was an absolute disgrace to the Marine Corps...and Congress.

Big Journalism : Why Obama Hates the Recent SCOTUS Decision

Good to go...FIRE FOR EFFECT!!! Love the mortar fire analogy... Thank goodness the cameras caught Alito mouthing "not true", as it truly was yet another "You Lie!" moment from Obama. We can't let his lies/deception continue to be ignored by the MSM. I'd be willing to bet that Chairman O has told more lies/deceived the public more in his one year of office than all of the presidaents before him...combined.

Breitbart.com : US Marines facing a 'different war' in Afghanistan

Mon, 1 Feb 2010 19:49:04 +0000

These Marines are from the same unit (1/6, 2MARDIV) and in exactly the same area I was/we were back in 2004...in fact, we were the "main effort" for the enitre Afghan theater and captured 131 al qaeda & taliban - and killed twice as many (in just over 2 months of sustained combat ops). Thus, I have absolutely no doubt that these brave men will be victorious - if/when this administration gives them the resources and proper R.O.E. to aggressively engage the enemy. Until then, we Americans are NOT safe...overseas and at home. God Bless America & the Corps...and Semper Fi, Marines of 1/6!!!

Breitbart.com : Gov't panel to admit existence of 3 Japan-U.S. secret pacts

Fri, 29 Jan 2010 19:19:23 +0000

So, Obama's administration has no problem being "transparent" with the Japanese regarding various secret military pacts we've had with Japan for 40-50 years...but he/they still refuse to be trasparent with his own constituency (the American people!) regarding their healthcare, deficit spending, taxation, backroom deals with Senators and unions, the AG's decision to drop charges against the New Black Panthers (who were threatening voters at a polling site in Philly), "mirandizing" terrorists (when we don't even offer our own troops the same "miranda" rights!), etc., etc., etc.?!?!?! Please, please, please vote these idiots out in 2010 & 2012!

Thank you, "Great Satan", for concisely stating what I'm thinking...and doing it well. BTW - love the screen name. O'Reilly had a great op-ed espousing the same title ("Great Satan")...thought you'd enjoy it (if you haven't seen it already): http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,583261,00.htm...

Big Government : Dodd And Other 'Retiring' Democrats Show Why Term Limits Are A Bad Idea

Mon, 11 Jan 2010 21:22:39 +0000

And how about down in MD, where the former Dem. mayor of Baltimore, Sheila Dixon, was just convicted of defrauding her own constituents out of welfare gift cards! Or Bill Jefferson hiding bribe money in his freezer in LA. Or John Murtha's bribes & kickbacks in PA? Or Charlie Rangel's not paying taxes? Or Gov. Blago in IL getting paid for Obama's vacant senate seat? Or Kwame Kilpatrick's theft, perjury, misconduct and obstruction in Detroit? Or Gov. Siegelman of Alabama getting convicted of bribery by a federal court. Or Elliot Spitzer & his prostitutes? Or Newark mayor Sharpe James' fraud and conspiracy conviction? How low can you go, Rev.? We can go back and forth, for weeks on end, pointing out versions of Dem. and Rep. political criminals alike...that's besides the point here. But way to go with the typical "what about Cheyney" and "blame it all on Bush"-style retorts. Now that's progress!

It was my absolute honor to do so...thank you for the gracious note.

Breitbart.com : Clinton says US still open to talks with Iran

Mon, 4 Jan 2010 22:01:26 +0000

"US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Monday slammed what she called the "ruthless repression" of demonstrators against the Iranian regime." Wow...Clinton's timing is impeccable. Only 7 or 8 months after the fraudulent election and subsequent crackdown that killed/injured/jailed/executed tens of thousands of innocent Iranians. I'm sure her words will provide the much-needed solace, strength and guidance that Iran's opposition is looking for from this administration. Please note my sarcasm...

"Syntax_game": Your comments are impetuous and irrational, at best. The fact that you refer to the tea party protesters as "tea-baggers" shows the depth of your immaturity and unreasonable character. Just a year ago, you and your fellow anti-Bush "progressives" were lauding protesters throughout the country. It's obvious that you don't like the principle of free speech...unless it's about a topic with which you agree. How closed-minded, indignant and dishonest of you. You should stick to the topics you know best, like socialism, wealth redistribution, free hand-outs/entitlements, draft-dodging, tree-hugging, killing innocent children (abortions as birth control), censoring the opposition, creating a welfare state, indoctrinating our kids in public schools, fighting solar flares (er...global warming), and cowering to terrorists (sorry, I meant "human created disasters").

"Ryan": Your statement couldn't possibly be more impetuous and irrational...and for the record, the entire western world's intelligence community stated there were WMDs in Iraq, not just Bush and his "band of evil war-mongers". Also, Congress voted overwhelmingly in favor of Operation Iraqi Freedom...to include all of the Democrats (except for a couple) that speak out against it now (purely for political conveniences). You should stick to the matters you know best...like draft dodging, wealth redistribution, entitlements & hand-outs, and hating America. Just keep on biting the hand that feeds you...

Jarhead was an absolute abomination...as a Marine with two combat tours (Iraq '03, Afghanistan '04), to include special ops, I vehemently resent the liberal left/hollywood for painting my fellow snipers as a bunch of whiners who were there against their own free will. We Marines are proud as hell to serve this great nation, in any capacity...so much so, we do it voluntarily (which Avatar and Jarhead both conveniently forget to mention). So, yes, Jarhead did suck...but not for the reasons you cite. And if a movie was ever made that truly espoused what "Phyreblade" suggested above, you'd have a box office smash on your hands.

Served two combat tours (Iraq '03, Afghanistan '04) in the Marine Corps...count me in Cowboy Logic. After all, I'm apart of that awful group of "extremists" (i.e. military veterans) that Napolotano warned everyone about!

It's people like "Syntax_game" that make me so proud to have shed my blood, sweat, & tears on behalf of this country and her citizens...so we can all listen to "progressives" spout off their nonsensical, irrational vitriol. I especially enjoyed the threat levied by "Syntax_game" ("Come on my lawn and try to water my tree traitor and see how far you get.")...how about you actually leave your lawn for once, "Syntax_game". Perhaps that is the problem right there...your eyes & mind are closed because you've never set foot outside of the happy little bubble REAL PATRIOTS have been providing for you for over 230 years.

THANK YOU, "old_timer", for leading the way for guys (& gals) such as me. It is your example, and those that came before you, that our younger (military) generation continues to follow. Additionally, your 35+ years of service on behalf of this nation is more than exceptional...THANK YOU. A very Merry Christmas and a healthy, prosperous, & Happy New Year to you & yours! Semper Fi...
