Please take the time to read "Lone Survivor"....when you do, you'll drop to your knees and thank god again and again for men like these watching over our country. THESE are our true hero's....
In a desolate ravine in Afghanistan, Michael Murphy was running out of options.
For more than two hours in June 2005, the 29-year-old lieutenant and his three fellow Navy SEALs had battled 100 Taliban fighters in the Hindu Kush Mountains.

Dependent Nation: Dependency Index Surges 23% Under President Obama; 67 Million Get Aid....and the rest of us PAY....
The Himalayas and nearby peaks have lost no ice in past 10 years, study shows .....
How's that Global Warming workin' out for ya?
The world's greatest snow-capped peaks, which run in a chain from the Himalayas to Tian Shan on the border of China and Kyrgyzstan, have lost no ice over the last decade, new research shows.
The discovery has stunned scientists, who had believed that around 50bn tonnes of meltwater were being shed each year and not being replaced by new snowfall.

What the Heck is Wrong with Mitt Romney? ....
As a Conservative....I am so sick and tired of the Republican's giving us weak candidates. I LIKE Mitt Romney....but I also LIKE my usual guy at Dunkin Donuts....that doesn't make him a presidential candidate. I hear from friends "You have to see/meet Romney - then he'll have you"...Really? Reagan had me at Hello....
I watch Mitt and he always seems about a second away from hyperventilating. There are times I wonder if anyone near him has an asthma inhaler "just in case".
Save us...because the way we are going at the moment...is going to insure the re-election of the "Chosen One"...and fundamentally not just change...but destroy our way of life.
Now, if there is one thing Mitt Romney should be used to by now, it is losing elections. By this point, he should have had enough practice at this that he could pull off at least a passable imitation of a leader rallying the troops. Instead, he wandered onto stage shellshocked and dazed, looking like a man who had physically taken a punch, and wandered aimlessly through almost the exact same speech he had given after his resounding victory in Florida. It was bad enough that I, as a Romney supporter, said to myself, “Holy cow, this guy is doomed.”

With a Signal to Donors, Obama Yields on ‘Super PACs’.......
One more "core" belief bites the dust.....
The decision, which comes nine months before Election Day, escalates the money wars and is a milestone in Mr. Obama’s evolving stances on political fund-raising. The lines have increasingly blurred between presidential campaigns and super PACs, which have flourished since a 2010 Supreme Court ruling and other legal and regulatory decisions made it easier for outside groups to raise unlimited donations to promote candidates.

Public surveillance from private property questioned - Washington Times
Just a thought...but INSTEAD of all of us - the law abiding citizens giving up any shred of freedom & privacy we have left....we try putting the BAD GUYS behind bars??? Just saying....
When D.C. police began installing surveillance cameras in neighborhoods more than five years ago as crime-fighting tools, privacy concerns voiced by civil liberties groups limited their scope and use.

Tom Brady in postgame daze of disappointment after another Super Bowl loss to the Giants ....
Nicely written.....this is the Tom Brady we know. The ultimate competitor. he's given us an awful lot of fun Sundays!
He was in full uniform. He was in full thought. There were the plays that hadn’t been made. There were the opportunities not seized. There was the Super Bowl that had slipped away, 21-17 to the New York Giants. Again, the Giants. Again.

Killed Seattle Marine Leaves Behind Letter of Hope ...
And we get upset over a Super Bowl loss....when the true hero's are right next to us everyday...
Semper Fidelis means always faithful. Always faithful to God, Country and Corps. Always faithful to the principles and beliefs that guided me into the service. And on that day in October when I placed my hand on a bible and swore to defend the constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic, I meant it.”
