Comments On National Amnesia

By: Byron York – Washington Examiner, August 20, 2010

Say you’re a Democratic member of Congress. You proudly cast your vote for Obamacare, you cheered when House Speaker Nancy Pelosi hailed it as the achievement of a generation and you scoffed at Republicans who vowed to repeal it. Now you’re running for re-election, and a voter asks: What is the most important thing you’ve done in the last two years? Continue reading →

President Obama’s speech to the nation last night was a crass display of obfuscation and misdirection. First let’s get one thing straight. “Limited” combat operations are still going on  with U.S. troops ”assisting” and Iraqi’s “in the lead.” Suicide bombers and roadside bombs are a daily occurence.

The Hill  listed their annual report on the 10 wealthiest members of Congress. You will note that 7 of the 10 are Democrats who have , along with 3 Republicans, gotten wealthier while the Americans have become poorer. You will note that Sen. John Kerry, one of those liberal progressive Democrats, a fan of  redistributing our money by increased taxation, has topped the list for two years in a row.  It would seem that money can buy anything.  Just my opinion….William McCullough

Wealthiest Lawmakers Increased Their Riches As Economy Sputtered in 09

By: Kevin Bogardus and Barbra Kim – The Hill, August 31, 2010

 The richest members of Congress actually got even wealthier last year, even though 2009 saw one of the worst economic downturns in America since the Great Depression, according the The Hill, which released its annual ranking of lawmakers’ estimated wealth.  Continue reading →

The ACLU lobbying to protect the rights of terrorists should come as no surprise. Their agenda fits nicely with the Obama administrations penchant for selectively deciding who is and who is not a terrorist. The most glaring proof of this is Nidal Hasan, a radical Muslim, who carried out the Ft. Hood massacre. To prove the point no charges are yet filed and he is still receiving his pay from the Army while in custody. The petition to prevent the assassination of terrorists has been filed by the father of Anwar al-Awlaki who was Nidal Hasan’s mentor. I think I smell something fishy here. Might we conclude that maybe the administration is behind this action? If they will not admit that  Nidal Hasan is a Muslim terrorist, might they also feel that al-Awlaki is not be a terrorist and therefore should be immune from assassination? Sounds  far fetched, but with this administration you never know.  Just my opinion….William McCullough 

The ACLU Sues To Prohibit Targeted Killing Of Foreign And U.S. Born Terrorists

By : Adam J. White – The Weekly Standard, August 31, 201

Legal activist groups filed an extraordinary lawsuit yesterday to prevent the U.S. military and CIA from undertaking the “targeted killing” of persons suspected of posing a terrorist threat to the U.S. The filers are asking the court to block not merely the targeted killing of U.S. citizens overseas—the subject of much press coverage of the suit—but of all foreign terrorists, as well.

Those of us who have been in the military, have sons in the military and the families of those who have served can easily appreciate the end result of Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor” rally Sunday in Washington, D.C.  Beck unlike his weak kneed adversaries on the left, is a patriot. The Obama mainstream media organs were of course hoping for a confrontation between “us” and “them,” noting that us “whiteys” were in the majority in attendance. That being said, Beck’s rally of 500,000 plus, was in sharp contrast to “ol handkerchief head” Al Sharpton’s competing rally of 3,000 Obamanites and their hangers on. While both rallies lent themselves to honoring Martin Luther King’s birthday, the end result was that more “whites” showed up to honor King than did his own people and their guilt ridden fellow travelers - remember D.C. is predominately black. That in itself should tell us something – don’t you think?  Just my opinion….William McCullough

The media were so busy obsessing over the racial composition of the crowd this weekend that there was almost no attention paid to one of the undeniably positive outcomes of the Glenn beck rally this weekend. Fortunately, a few news outlets, including Politico, did take notice:
