“Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, who has been accused in recent days of padding her foreign policy rèsumè while First Lady, admitted today that she may have exaggerated about an encounter she said she had with al-Qaeda terror mastermind Osama bin Laden in 1998. In an appearance on NBC’s ‘Meet the Press’ on Sunday, Sen. Clinton told host Tim Russert, ‘I wrestled bin Laden in his cave in 1998 and had him pinned to the ground before the bastard got away.’ But a review of Sen. Clinton’s official White House schedule from that period revealed that the then-First Lady was nowhere in the vicinity of Mr. bin Laden on that day, but was instead greeting a group of honor roll students at Disney World in Orlando. ‘I may have misspoke about what went on that particular day,’ Sen. Clinton said today. ‘But it was a very busy time for me, what with having that knife-fight with Kim Jong-Il and all.’ Reporters peppered Sen. Clinton’s new press spokesman with questions about another purported exploit of hers, in which the senator claimed that she and a ragtag team of blue-collar drillers deflected an asteroid on a collision course with the Earth.” —Andy Borowitz

“There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs—partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.” —Booker T. Washington

Hmmm...can YOU say Jackson,Sharpton,Wright,Farrakahn, and Obama? I know you can.

"...you cannot build up years of dependence on government and dare call that hope.” —Ronald Reagan

Just what is Obama promising? His catchphrase is "Change and Hope". Yet he never really says WHAT changes he intends and leaves it implicit that HE is the hope.

“Freedom is not a natural state—otherwise more people would be free. Tyranny, oppression, dictatorship and the denial of human rights are the norm for much of the planet. Mankind’s lower nature dictates that far too many seek to reduce others to servitude in order to elevate themselves. President Bush has repeatedly said that freedom is a God-given right that resides in the heart of every human. Maybe, but sometimes one must fight to extract it from the hardened hearts of others who want it exclusively for themselves. Looking at the faces of those who have fallen and driving by Arlington National Cemetery, I am reminded of the cost of freedom. Those who died allow me to travel freely. Those who sacrificed everything invested in freedom for my family and yours so that we can all live our lives where we choose to live them and worship where, and however, we please. These are freedoms most of the world can only dream about.” —Cal Thomas

Pretty complete statement, nothing to add, except my personal observation that most on the "Progressive" side of the aisle, in their rush to be non-judgmentally PC and all-inclusive, don't seem to really comprehend just how lucky we as a nation are in our level of personal freedom, and that it's a very rare thing in the world as a whole.

This week we celebrate a special birthday!

Monica Lewinsky turned 34.

Can you believe it?

It seems like only yesterday she was crawling

around the White House on her hands and knees,

and putting everything in her mouth.

They grow up so fast, don't they ? ??? !!

Little Suzy had a box of very small kittens that she was trying to give away, so she had them out on the street corner with a sign 'FREE KITTENS' next to them. Suddenly a long line of big black cars came up with a policeman on a motorcycle in front. The cars all stopped and a tall man stepped out from the biggest car. 'Hi, little girl, what do you have there in the box?' he asked.

'Kittens' Little Suzy says. 'They're so small, their eyes are not even open yet.'

'What kind of kittens are they?' he asked.

'Democrats' says Little Suzy. The tall man smiled, returned to his car and they drove away.

Sensing a good photo opportunity, Sen. Obama called his campaign manager and told him about the little girl with the kittens. It was planned that they would return the next day, have all the media there and tell everyone about these 'democrat' kittens.

The next day, Little Suzy is standing out on the corner with her box of kittens with the 'FREE KITTENS' sign and the big motorcade of black cars pulled up with all the vans and trucks from ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN. Everyone had their cameras ready and then Sen. Obama got out of his limo and walked up to Little Suzy. 'Now don't be frightened,' he said, I just want you to tell all these nice news people just what kind of kittens you're giving away today.'

'Yes sir,' Suzy said, 'they are all REPUBLICAN kittens.'

Taken by surprise, Sen. Obama said, 'But yesterday you told me they were DEMOCRATS.'

Little Suzy says, 'Yes, I know. But, today they have their eyes open.'

“War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth a war, is worse.” —John Stuart Mill

“Some Democrats... are playing politics with [Iraq] and they are sending mixed signals to our troops and the enemy.” —President George W. Bush

“The question occurs: Will it take some further, even more catastrophic attack here at home—an attack made more likely by the irresponsible behavior of today’s agitators—to silence their defeatism and reunify the country behind a necessary program for victory?” —Frank Gaffney, Jr.

We all know that politicos stage photo ops in furtherance of their campaigns, its just part of the process, and we don't really care too much, we know it's part of the game to make a candidate look like they really have the gravitas for the post they are running for....but I would think that any politician worth electing would at least take the trouble to make it LOOK like they know how to use a phone!

The American Thinker has the best analysis of The Iraq war I've ever seen, written by James Lewis. Bravo Mr. Lewis.

I believed and still believe that President Bush did the correct thing in engaging Islamofacism in Iraq and Afghanistan. It has not been pretty, war never is; mistakes were made as in all human endeavours, but I truly believe that history will judge that it was the best that could be done at the time, given all the factors extent at the time.

The CIA had an opening for an assassin.

The CIA had an opening for an assassin. After all of the background checks, interviews, and testing were done there were three finalists — two men and one woman. For the final test, the CIA agents took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun.
“We must know that you will follow your instructions, no matter what the circumstances. Inside this room you will find your wife sitting in a chair. You have to kill her.” The first man said.“You can’t be serious. I could never shoot my wife,”

The agent replies, “Then you’re not the right man for this job."

The second man was given the same instructions. He took the gun and went into the room. All was quiet for about five minutes. Then the agent came out with tears in his eyes. “I tried, but I can’t kill my wife.” The agent replies, “You don’t have what it takes. Take your wife and go home.”

Finally, it was the woman’s turn. Only she was told to kill her husband. She took the gun and went into the room. Shots were heard, one shot after another. They heard screaming, crashing, banging on the walls. After a few minutes, all was quiet. The door opened slowly and there stood the woman. She wiped the sweat from her brow and said, “You guys didn’t tell me the gun was loaded with blanks. So I had to beat him to death with the chair.”

Proof yet again that the female IS the deadliest of the species!

Einstein was born March 14, 1879. He would be 128 if he were alive today. Few people remember that the Nobel Prize winner married his cousin, Elsa Lowenthal, after his first marriage dissolved in 1919. At the time he stated that he was attracted to Elsa because she was so well endowed. He postulated that if you are attracted to women with large breasts, theattraction is even stronger if there is a DNA connection. This came to be know as.......

With all the to-do about Barack Hussein Obama's 20 year affiliation with a Hate-spewing, bigoted, racist and America-hating "Reverend", I wanted to say something about how I felt, but I just couldn't find the right words.

Then I had the good fortune to read the following at Theodore's World, so I did what any hack does, I stole borrowed it.

Thank You Chrissie, for all the good materiel you post, and all the good you do for our Veterans.

An Obamanation

ItÂ’s unfair the Obamatons howl,
To charge guilt by association;
Our boy has committed no foul;
HeÂ’s just one of the congregation.
While sitting there twenty long years,
As the reverend spewed out his odium,
Naught wafted into those large ears,
But spittle and froth from the podium?

No such tirades did I ever see,
Says Obama now that itÂ’s news;
No rants about AIDS heard by me,
Nor venomous bile aimed at Jews.
You cherry pick dribbles and bites
From sermons of many long years;
You say my preacher hates whites?
My goodness thatÂ’s news to my ears!

But a man picks a church like a wife,
As a comfortable mate for his soul,
With commonly shared views of life;
They are parts of the man as a whole.
So Obama is welcome to try
To convince us that his soul is pure,
But itÂ’s just a political lie;
He buys into his preacherÂ’s manure.

Why else then sit in that church pew,
With children and wife at your side?
If you truly do not share the world view,
Of your hate-spewing spiritual guide?
Yet now you denounce Jeremiah,
In your quest for power and station;
HeÂ’s a conveniently banished pariah;
Barack, youÂ’re an Obamanation.

Sir Arthur Charles Clarke, CBE (16 December 1917 – 19 March 200 was a British science fiction author, inventor, and futurist, most famous for his novel 2001: A Space Odyssey, and for collaborating with director Stanley Kubrick on the film of the same name.

Clarke received a CBE in 1989, and was knighted in 2000. Clarke's health did not allow him to travel to London to receive the honour personally from the Queen, so the United Kingdom's High Commissioner to Sri Lanka invested him as a Knight Bachelor at a ceremony in Colombo.

Mr. Clark was considered to be one of the top three Science Fiction writers of the 20th century, with the trio being filled out by Isaac Asimov and Robert Heinlein. Pretty good company to be considerd among. He is a great loss to both the science fiction and science communities.

"The way I was raised was the reason I couldn't drive by and watch that go on,” he said. "There's liberty, and then there's ridiculous.”

So said Marine reservist Ray Adam Modisette in reference to his interaction with the Westboro Baptist Church outside of Tinker AF Base last Friday.

Mr. Modisette was arrested for his actions and posted $850. bail with money he earned during his last deployment in Iraq. Local community members offered him reimbursement of the bail money, but Mr. Modisette refused, saying that he "considered it money well spent".

The city prosecutor declined to press charges at the urging of the police department (boy, does THAT sound righteous!).

You have to be proud that we still have such people in our society in spite of all the Leftist attempts to eradicate such patriotic feelings over the last thirty years.

“The world is weary of statesmen whom democracy has degraded into politicians.” —Benjamin Disraeli

“I profoundly believe it takes a lot of practice to become a moral slob.” —William F. Buckley

“[Barack] Obama says Rev. [Jeremiah] Wright is no longer among his campaign’s ‘spiritual advisers.’ Obama should not be asked which of Rev. Wright’s outrageous statements he disagrees with, but rather which ones he does agree with. That Obama remains a member in good standing of Trinity United Church of Christ indicates that he prefers the company of many people who have demonstrated that they believe what their pastor has said.” —Cal Thomas

“We don’t need a President of the United States who got to the White House by talking one way, voting a very different way in the Senate, and who for 20 years followed a man whose words and deeds contradict [Barack] Obama’s carefully crafted election year image.” —Thomas Sowell

“All you really need to know about Barack Hussein Obama is this: Louis Farrakhan really, really, really wants him to be president.” —Don Feder

For those who doubt that our Servicemen's capabilities I invite you to peruse the following picture:

Who else could park the ass end of an evac helo on the roof of a shack on top of a mountain in Afghanistan and hold it there in place to evac wounded troops?

You just have to stand in awe of the courage and capabilities of the American troops.
