Sense of Events: The World War II Memorial
Nice story of the few "Greatest" remaining and their silent bravery and quiet honor.
I'm always amazed and emotional when i see these fine Americans, of any age, as they visit a military memorial.
God bless them all!

ABC News: Whom Can You Believe? Democratic Campaign Claims Don't Hold Up
ABC News: Whom Can You Believe? Democratic Campaign Claims Don't Hold Up: "'I did speak out and opposed NAFTA,' Clinton told an AFL-CIO audience in Philadelphia. 'I raised a big yellow caution flag. I said, 'I'm not sure this is going to work.''
But if Clinton 'spoke out' against NAFTA, she did so quietly and behind closed doors, and made no mention of it in her 2003 autobiography 'Living History.'"

Lucianne.com News Forum: "my father-in-law who is 71 believes this nonsense fervently. He goes off the deep end when it comes up as if we (the US) are causing the world to destruct. The 'Arctic Ice Sheets are melting' he emphatically insisted. He actually think Florida will be under water in 10 years. That evening I went to the Daily Arctic Ice Sea Maps website and printed out 2 color photos to prove him wrong. You know what he said, 'That Website was out up by Bush to try to get out of Kyoto'."

Obama Record tells another truth
Maybe it's how he voted and not what he says?
Aren't "aborted fetuses who survive" HUMAN BEINGS?
"He voted against requiring medical care for aborted fetuses who survive. He supported allowing retired police officers to carry concealed weapons, but opposed allowing people to use banned handguns to defend against intruders in their homes. And the list of sensitive topics goes on."

22 questions for Barack Obama about Rev. Wright
Peter Wehner on Barack Obama & Jeremiah Wright
"3. When did you first become aware of the fact that in 1984 Reverend Wright traveled to Libya with Louis Farrakhan to visit Muammar Qadhafi? Similarly, when did you become aware of Wright's role in giving Farrakhan a lifetime-achievement award and that Wright referred to the Nation of Islam leader as a man of “integrity and honesty?” Did those things trouble you when you learned of them?"

"hardening racial lines..."
Instapundit.com -: "'THE GANG:' 'Democrats should now ask themselves how a party of supposed racial transcendence inevitably ended up with primaries predicated along hardening racial lines, and a unity, trans-racial candidate who for twenty years was intimate with a pastor and spiritual advisor who seems to have derided almost everyone and everything, from America, to Italians, to Jews and Israel, to whites and moderate blacks, with serial slurs worthy of a Don Imus or Michael Richards.'"
American Thinker: Does Obama know America?
American Thinker: Does Obama know America?:
Obama seems to have adopted his mother's role as an anthropologist.
He writes about himself:
'Only Malcolm X's autobiography seemed to offer something different. His repeated acts of self-creation spoke to me. The blunt poetry of his words, his unadorned insistence on respect, promised a new and uncompromising order, martial in its discipline, forged through sheer force of will. All the other stuff, the talk of blue-eyed devils and apocalypse, was incidental to that program, I decided. ...
'And yet, even as I imagine myself following Malcolm's call, one line in the book stayed with me. He spoke of a wish he'd once had, the wish that the white blood that ran through him, there by an act of violence, might somehow be expunged.' (italics added)"

The 'Recession' Is a Media Myth
The 'Recession' Is a Media Myth: "A little perspective on the economy would be helpful. The average unemployment rate during President Clinton was 5.2 percent. The average under President George W. Bush is just slightly below 5.2. The current unemployment rate is4.8 percent, almost half a percentage point lower than these averages."

USA 2008: The Great Depression - Americas, World - The Independent: "Michigan has been in its own mini-recession for years as its collapsing industrial base, particularly in the car industry, has cast more and more out of work. Now, one in eight residents of the state is on food stamps, double the level in 2000. 'We have seen a dramatic increase in recent years, but we have also seen it climbing more in recent months,' Maureen Sorbet, a spokeswoman for Michigan's programme, said. 'It's been increasing steadily. Without the programme, some families and kids would be going without.'"

Over the summer, Mr. Obama talked about invading Pakistan, a nation armed with nuclear weapons; meeting without preconditions with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who vows to destroy Israel and create another Holocaust; and Kim Jong II, who is murdering and starving his people, but emphasized that the nuclear option was off the table against terrorists — something no president has ever taken off the table"
