Election Day Reminder

Hopefully all of you will be voting and/or taking part in Romney’s GOTV efforts today, or working as election judges to make sure things are on the up-and-up even if it is close enough for them to cheat. 

Some of you have excuses for staying home, but unless you’ve been crippled by some burdensome medical condition, there is no excuse for not going to the polls and pulling the lever for Romney.

Randy Barrett explains in a WSJ column why voting Libertarian this year is counterproductive.
If you don’t know where your polling place is, what the hours are, or what the ballot looks like, this helpful link will get you what you need.

Now go out and win this thing! NOBODY STAYS HOME!

Four More Years?

 It is now up to us to deny him that power. If the words don’t convince you, the pictures should. As Obama has said, voting is the best revenge.

These are the pictures of an administration. Every image is a key image from the presidency of Barack Obama. And every image is the image of a commander-in-chief who has led America astray.

The great issue of our time is, of course, the economy. And on the economy, President Obama has not merely been a failure; he’s been the most dramatic failure in American history. He inherited a terrible financial situation, thanks to both Democratic-led initiatives designed to incentivize financial institutions to take risks on bad borrowers, and Republican failures to stop them. But he proceeded to make the situation worse, not better, with endless bailouts, unending sale of debt to China, and a deficit situation that puts every child under the age of 18 in the country in over $200,000 of debt.

Forget his promises – halving the deficit, decreasing the unemployment rate to well below 6% by the end of his first term, and the rest of it – his performance has been abysmal.

Obama is the most profligate spender in history, racking up trillion-dollar deficits each year of his presidency – and America has received worse than nothing in return. When President Obama took office, the economy had 133.6 million jobs. Today, it has 133.8 million jobs. That doesn’t even keep pace with population growth. This is easily the worst recovery in American history. No wonder economists predict that with this growth rate, it will take a full decade before we reach normal unemployment rates. Meanwhile, Obama continues to inflate the currency at record levels. We are watching Jimmy Carter, Part Deux. Except worse.
His stimulus package, which clocked in at a whopping $800 billion, has achieved nothing. His vaunted GM bailout did nothing that traditional bankruptcy wouldn’t have done, except screw the senior debtholders in favor of the unions. And the American people are billions in hoc over that bailout. You can save any company if you pour enough taxpayer cash into it (except Solyndra). But you can’t save the economy.
And even as his economic policy collapsed, President Obama focused his laserlike attention elsewhere: on health care. The rationale was obvious: it was a sop to the major labor unions, who funded his campaign and are desperately seeking fertile new recruitment ground – ground they can only find in a massively expanding federal and state government. By essentially putting one-sixth of the US economy on the road to nationalization, Obama has condemned millions to restricted access to healthcare of their choice, raised costs, squeezed doctors out of the market, and destroyed the private relationship between patients and their physicians. And he did all of that without a single Republican vote.

When the American people reacted, predictably, by dumping his Democratic House majority in one of the biggest landslides in American history, Obama condemned the American people as Tea Party bigots. Then he proceeded to blame them for the failure of his economic program.

On foreign policy, Obama has been similarly disastrous. His feckless approach to the Middle East, which assumed the best while the worst took place, led to the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi; the takeover of an American ally, Egypt, by an American enemy, the Muslim Brotherhood; the takeover of Tunisia by Islamic extremists; the rise of Islamic extremism in Turkey; the devolution of Iraq into an Iranian proxy state; the rise of the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Most of all, President Obama’s foreign policy in the Middle East has isolated Israel – a country for which Obama has little but scorn – and allowed Iran to run out the clock on development of a nuclear weapon.

When it comes to social policy, Obama has been no better. His Obamacare plan has utterly destroyed any semblance of separation of church and state by forcing religious employers to violate their own scruples in healthcare coverage. His about-face on gay marriage has had no implications for homosexuals actually wanting to get married, but it has polarized the debate in a major way by implying that those who disagree with the President are unevolved. And when it comes to the "war on women" – well, let’s just say that any administration that blackmails a breast cancer foundation to fund an abortion organization, or campaigns that voting for Barack Obama is the same as having sex with him, cedes the high ground on that issue.

But most of all, President Obama has been a failed chief executive because he fails to recognize his role in the government structure. He has signed and executive order explicitly refusing to enforce immigration law while suing states that wish to enforce it. He has run roughshod over the constitutional appointment process by usurping legislative power to his many czars, from "Fistgate" czar Kevin Jennings to “green jobs” czar Van Jones. And he has said that he still wants more power.

It is now up to us to deny him that power. If the words don’t convince you, the pictures should. As Obama has said, voting is the best revenge.

Medal of Honor Winner Blasts “Ditherer-in-Chief” Obama over Benghazigate

Strong words from a man who risked his life on over 2,000 missions to save Americans under fire.



Major General Patrick Henry Brady is one of only 81 living Medal of Honor winners. During the Vietnam War, Brady served with the 57th Medical Detachment, rescuing over 5,000 wounded, and knows a few things about dangerous rescues under fire.

His Medal of Honor citation reads, 
“Maj. Brady distinguished himself while serving in the Republic of Vietnam commanding a UH-1H ambulance helicopter, volunteered to rescue wounded men from a site in enemy held territory which was reported to be heavily defended and to be blanketed by fog.
“To reach the site he descended through heavy fog and smoke and hovered slowly along a valley trail, turning his ship sideward to blow away the fog with the backwash from his rotor blades. Despite the unchallenged, close-range enemy fire, he found the dangerously small site, where he successfully landed and evacuated 2 badly wounded South Vietnamese soldiers.
“He was then called to another area completely covered by dense fog where American casualties lay only 50 meters from the enemy. Two aircraft had previously been shot down and others had made unsuccessful attempts to reach this site earlier in the day. With unmatched skill and extraordinary courage, Maj. Brady made 4 flights to this embattled landing zone and successfully rescued all the wounded.
“On his third mission of the day Maj. Brady once again landed at a site surrounded by the enemy. The friendly ground force, pinned down by enemy fire, had been unable to reach and secure the landing zone. Although his aircraft had been badly damaged and his controls partially shot away during his initial entry into this area, he returned minutes later and rescued the remaining injured.
“Shortly thereafter, obtaining a replacement aircraft, Maj. Brady was requested to land in an enemy minefield where a platoon of American soldiers was trapped. A mine detonated near his helicopter, wounding 2 crewmembers and damaging his ship. In spite of this, he managed to fly 6 severely injured patients to medical aid.
“Throughout that day Maj. Brady utilized 3 helicopters to evacuate a total of 51 seriously wounded men, many of whom would have perished without prompt medical treatment.”

What does Major General Patrick Henry Brady think of Obama’s abandonment of the Navy SEALS in Benghazi under fire?

The answer is the Obama-Panetta Doctrine. In response to the horrible abandonment of dying Americans in Benghazi, Defense Secretary Panetta said: “(The) basic principle is that you don’t deploy forces into harm’s way without knowing what’s going on; without having some real-time information about what’s taking place.”
On its face, that is a remarkable, indeed incomprehensible, change from America’s doctrine in past wars. By that standard, there would have been no Normandy or Inchon. In fact, I can’t think of a war we fought in which we didn’t go into harm’s way without real-time information or to save lives – something the president refused to do in Benghazi. Dust Off would never launch in Vietnam under that doctrine.
To fully understand the doctrinal change, one has to understand President Obama. He has a dearth of understanding of our military and military matters. We hear he is uncomfortable in the presence of ranking military and seldom meets with them. He is not a person who can make decisions, and he takes an extraordinary amount of time to do so, leading to such unseemly labels for a commander in chief as “ditherer in chief.”
President Obama may have set records for voting “present” on important issues. He cowers from crisis decisions. He is a politician who thinks only in terms of votes and his image.
