Cybersecurity Act

Thoughts?

I don't know enough about these two bills, but it does seem that they give the president broad powers without really defining what those powers entail. And anytime you start getting the government involved in anything you should be wary.

A Tale Of Two Protests

Many of us know about the nationwide Tax Day Tea Parties taking place on April 15. Now some on the Left are also planning their own protests on April 11. But I'm with Michelle Malkin on this one. Chances are the 4/11 demonstrations, no matter how big or small they are, will probably get more coverage by media outlets than the better organized 4/15 Tea Parties. That's just a guess, but it's most likely not far off.

With sleet gushing from gunmetal gray clouds, some 30 Marines standing in three trim lines saluted the U.S. flag that four of their brethren used to christen a new pole.

A large engraved stone set at the base of the 38-foot pole explained the occasion: "In memory of Corporal Aaron L. Seal. Who gave his life for our country. 1982-2006."

The Marines from Engineer Company B joined several dozen community residents and well-wishers at a ceremony Wednesday honoring Seal, the 23-year-old Elkhart reservist who died last fall in Iraq. Seal's family also attended the 20-minute tribute at Elkhart Community Schools' administration building adjacent to Memorial High School -- the fallen Marine's alma mater.

It's Still A War On Terror

Israel gets it right while others get it so very wrong. We're still in the most dangerous fight of our lives, despite what the Obama administration thinks, and they're making it harder to fight it. Wrong man at the wrong time.

Power Grab

If Obama's recent power grab was only temporary, like many of his supporters are claiming, why then is his administration refusing to take some of the TARP money back from banks who want to pay it back?

First some DVD's for the PM, and they can't even be played in England, and now an iPod for the Queen. And she already has one. God, I'd hate to be on Obama's Christmas list.

In the early morning hours of July 13, 2008, Soldiers from Chosen Company, 2nd Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment were not thinking about medals as they fought off roughly 200 insurgents attacking their vehicle patrol base in Afghanistan.

No Soldier in combat does.

The Army, however, takes pause afterward to honor those who distinguish themselves in battle and recognizes them before their peers.
