Let's fund abortion and sex change operations...but not basic security???
Armed Pilots and Dead Terrorists - HUMAN EVENTS:
The FFDO (Federal Flight Deck Officer) program was implemented by the Bush Administration working with law enforcement, airline management and pilot unions. Pilots with guns were a way to augment the Federal Air Marshall Service which was already in place and quickly expanded. Recent rumors indicate that the Obama administration will attempt to de-fund the FFDO program. I think it would be a huge loss to security and a big mistake."

American Presidents Do Not Bow - HUMAN EVENTS
American Presidents Do Not Bow - HUMAN EVENTS:
George Washington was 6’4” tall. Not only did he have great height, he was a huge man in general. He had extremely broad shoulders, very wide hips, (most likely the cause for his being the preeminent horseman of his age), and a size 13 boot (though boot size in the 18th century was a bit hard to discern, as there were no left and right feet in footwear in late 18th century America). General Washington possessed immense physical strength and fortitude, as well, with a stature and presence so impressive that it was said about him that he “put European princes to shame.”"

This week, while “the most traveled President in history” was on his latest foreign adventure, and bowing to Japanese Emperor Akihito, the rest of the O-Team was been busy kowtowing to political correctness. The headlines tell the story:

“Attorney General Eric Holder Announces Terror Trials in New York City for 9-11-01 Plotters.”"

Abraham Lincoln once said, 'Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.'
But what if those who restrict our freedoms are the very people who are in charge of securing them?
Over just the past year, Washington has worked double time to limit your liberties, despite the fact that such reductions have been cloaked under the guise of governmental progress."

Former Vice President Dick Cheney unloaded on President Barack Obama and his administration in a radio interview Monday morning, saying that Obama's recent bow before the Japanese Emperor was 'fundamentally harmful' to the United States and indicates that Obama 'doesn’t fully understand or have the same perception of the US role in the world that most Americans have.' Obama's behavior on foreign trips is 'very upsetting,' Cheney added."

American Thinker Blog: Rep. Obey warns of 'war surtax' if Obama sends troops to Afghanistan
This Administration does not give a Wit about the War and/or the Military. This is political cover - Period-dot! They can out this out there; in a gawd-awful economy....everyone will wail they can't afford any more and he can say "It's over...it's the will of the people"...and it doesn't fall on his lap....cowards!
American Thinker Blog: Rep. Obey warns of 'war surtax' if Obama sends troops to Afghanistan:
Would you pay more in taxes if it meant that General McChrystal could get the troops he needed to effectively prosecute the war in Afghanistan?
Democrat David Obey (WI), chairman of the tax writing Appropriations Committee, thinks you should. And he is threatening the president with a tax increase if Obama sends additional troops to Afghanistan."

American Thinker: Cloward-Piven Government:
It is time to cast aside all remaining doubt. President Obama is not trying to lead America forward to recovery, prosperity and strength. Quite the opposite, in fact.
In September of last year, American Thinker published my article, Barack Obama and the Strategy of Manufactured Crisis. Part of a series, it connected then-presidential candidate Barack Obama to individuals and organizations practicing a malevolent strategy for destroying our economy and our system of government. Since then, the story of that strategy has found its way across the blogosphere, onto the airwaves of radio stations across the country, the Glenn Beck television show, Bill O'Reilly, and now Mark Levin."

Following the release by Breitbart's Big Government website of a video showing employees at ACORN's San Diego County office offering to assist in the transportation and exploitation of underage prostitutes from abroad, the Attorney General of California announced an investigation into ACORN's operations. Nights before the visit, ACORN dumped thousands of documents in a dumpster.

US Foreign Policy: Obama's Nice Guy Act Gets Him Nowhere on the World Stage - SPIEGEL ONLINE - News - International:
When he entered office, US President Barack Obama promised to inject US foreign policy with a new tone of respect and diplomacy. His recent trip to Asia, however, showed that it's not working. A shift to Bush-style bluntness may be coming.
There were only a few hours left before Air Force One was scheduled to depart for the flight home. US President Barack Obama trip through Asia had already seen him travel 24,000 kilometers, sit through a dozen state banquets, climb the Great Wall of China and shake hands with Korean children. It was high time to take stock of the trip."

What an amazing few days on the road this has been. Your spirits have been high, your faith strong and your spine unbendable. I ended my multiday book tour at The Villages with what had been billed as a rally but could be better described as a candid citizen-to-citizen chat.
Today, I have stopped looking for a leader to show us the way out because I have come to realize that the only one who can truly save our country...is us. To change America's course we need to change ourselves, our expectations and our willingness to accept the unacceptable. When we refuse to allow our children to receive a trophy for participation, we are on the road to restoring the meaning of merit in our Republic. When we insist that no one is too big to fail, we will be able to learn from our mistakes, and when we demand that we are self-reliant, we will ensure that others can rely on us, not the government."

Hackers steal electronic data from top climate research center
Hackers steal electronic data from top climate research center:
Hackers broke into the electronic files of one of the world's foremost climate research centers this week and posted an array of e-mails in which prominent scientists engaged in a blunt discussion of global warming research and disparaged climate-change skeptics.
The skeptics have seized upon e-mails stolen from the Climatic Research Unit of the University of East Anglia in Britain as evidence that scientific data have been rigged to make it appear as if humans are causing global warming. The researchers, however, say the e-mails have been taken out of context and merely reflect an honest exchange of ideas."
