Regardless of how the O administration tries to deny it, Islam is a problem.

Victory not important?

Our Community Organizer in Chief says our military should not have victory as the goal in the Middle East conflicts, specifically Afghanistan.
Well, what should be the goal? What are we losing brothers in arms for if not a victory?
Who is this man?
Certainly not a military type. Having been in the military since 1975, if one of my team told me that we should just not try to "win", to achieve a victory over the enemy, whoever they are.....I would tell him to pack it in, get out of the service and move to Portland.
Sigh.........I am depressed, in the words of Slim Pickins in the great movie "Blazing Saddles".

gone a long time

Well, it's good to be back. There is so much lunacy going on in the US. Where do I start? I'm too tired right now, so I will be back later. Tomorrow.

Crowley, Gates, Obama.....what a joke
Why not watch Blazing Saddles, laugh and get over it.

Health Care? If you think it's expensive now, just wait. If the BO Admin get's it's way things will really get out of control.

BBL

I was under the impression that there was "Change" coming. There does n0t seem to be any change. Whatever B O' s definition of "Change" is. He never really made a definition during the runup to the election.

Just which page is being ripped from the FDR playbook?

Same old folks, DC Insiders, no one willing to be offensive to anyone.

Ban Islam, or Arm Yourselves

No confidence.

Well, it is becoming more obvious that B.O. not presidential material. If he was, he wouldn't be putting off his new job. Despite his continued "There is only one president at a time" mantra, he was elected on a "change" platform. He hasn't even started to change anything. His inner circle is composed of Clintonistas and old boy types. There are things happening on the world stage that he is not addressing.....not even talking about. I think he's going to rest on his post election laurels and wait. I imagine he is thinking that G W Bush is going to make the decisions for the last month or so. GW can do nothing at this point. He is off buying a new house for his retirement years. GW has his legacy, whatever it is, and he is done. But is BO stepping up? NO. True, it is not his job, yet. True. But is BO just going to ride out the next month? "There is only one president at a time" is just an excuse for "UH...UH...i don't want the responsibility, UH....UH... till i absolutely have to take it, and UH...UH...thats not till UH..January 37th".
I do not expect great things from this President. After I heard him tell the Governors of the 50 States that he expected them to come up with the economic plan, I knew this job would be beyond him. He is not a leader. He is not a visionary. He is looking for others to do his job, come up with new ideas (but there won't be any new ideas, just more of the same old crap) then he will say, "UH....UH....that sounds good! Lets, UH....do that!.

Just imagine......

Once upon a time, there was an Empire. The Roman Empire. It was the light of the world. The Pax Romana: The Roman Peace. The known world was ruled by Rome. Government, Trade, Travel......there was a time when folks didn't worry about much because they knew that there was a force in the world that kept things stable.
It didn't last forever, but when it was gone there happened a thing called the "Dark Ages'. Lots of people don't realize that it is called the Dark Ages because after the rule of Rome was gone it was anarchy. There was no LAW. There was no ORDER. It was a Dark Time.
Whether you like it or not, The United States is trying to keep Law and Order in the World. The US is trying to spread Freedom throughout the world. Not by force really, but through example. True, we have been a bit heavy handed at times. But is there a time or a circumstance when the end justifies the means? I'm not sure. What I do know is that there are many areas in the world that are not free. The people can't speak out. In some places, folks are killed because they don't believe the same way as the rulers. Those who speak out are killed.
Here in the United States, it is becoming harder to speak out. There are those who would say that if you do not agree with them, you are a "hateful" person.
Should a small, vocal minority be able to dictate to the majority of the people? Truth be told, there are a majority of silent folks who have been made silent by threats. Threats? Threats of what? Lawsuits? Jail? Yes. Can you imagine......wthat the way you think makes you guilty of a crime?
Back on track. There was a time when the US was a beacon of freedom. Is that time over? Hmmmmmm. No, I DON'T THINK SO. The REAL America is not gone. There are those in the REAL America who still believe in Freedom. Liberty, and Self Reliance. Really. BUT....don't forget that we have a responsibility to keep our Constitution intact.
Rambled a bit there, sorry.

Say it aint so!
