This video from PolitiZoid is a fantastic glimpse into what terrorists do to pass the time at Club Gitmo. Now we knew Gitmo wasn’t the hellhole the terrorists and their lawyers would have us believe (their quarters and meals at Gitmo are far better than most of them were getting back in their home countries), but who could have guessed they’d be having this much fun?

Because you know that sooner or later you’ll hear them again, Robert Moon debunks 10 liberal lies about Iraq.

Earlier this morning I discussed SB 134 in the South Dakota legislature to divest South Dakota’s state-controlled pension and trust funds of interests in Iran. Iran is a threat to the United States, our allies in the Middle East and Europe, and to our troops serving in the Middle East. This video shows why this bill is important. Read more »

Now, in contradiction to all the whining and moaning and gnashing of teeth from the loony Left, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown affirms what his predecesor Tony Blair (both liberal prime ministers) before him affirmed: the invasion of Iraq was necessary: ”It was the right decision and it was for the right reasons.” Read more »

Here we are, going on nine years after the 911 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, and the effort to rebuild (and shake a defiant fist in the face of the evil dirtbags who destroyed them) has been stymied by the usual government bumbling. Read more »

The 31st anniversary of Iran’s Islamic Revolution was marred Thursday by protests and criticism of religious abuse. Civilians took to the streets to demonstrate against the current hard-line government led by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The pro-reform demonstrators were headed towards Tehran square, where Ahmadinejad was to give a speech, but were blocked by security forces. Read more »

South Dakota’s major veterans’ organizations announced their support of SB 134, a bill in the South Dakota Legislature that requires the State Investment Council to divest holdings in companies that do business in Iran. The bill focuses on foreign oil companies to target Iran’s oil refining capacity. Read more »

National security is a job of government. Designing health insurance policies and forcing private citizens to buy them, running car companies, bailing out banks, and subsidizing homeowners who can’t pay their mortgages, is not. America’s unique success comes from freedom and limited government. Government’s responsibilities are laid out clearly in our constitution, which we choose to ignore. Read more »

A coalition of South Dakota legislators, veterans, and foreign fund investment experts has announced plans for a bill that would force state-controlled pension and trust funds to divest themselves of more than $68 million dollars worth of stock in foreign companies doing business in Iran.

Our security system is flawed and doomed to fail as it did so recently on a flight arriving in Detroit. I once heard Binyamin Netanyahu explain to a radio host that El Al, the national Israeli airline, does not screen packages, bags or clothing–they screen people. And, as a result have had no catastrophic security failures in the airline’s history. Let’s take some lessons from the proven experts. Read more »

The botched terrorist effort on Christmas was a gift to the 300 innocent passengers on that plane and a gift to America. But it was also a potential political gift to Obama, and the right move now is finding and installing a qualified Homeland Security secretary. Read more »

The problem isn’t that Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano’s comments about the Detroit airline terrorist and how “the system worked” were taken out of context. Sadly, her comments were taken in context with this administration’s naive approach to defense, and that’s a scary thought. Read more »

Has President Obama’s “Speak softly and bow often” approach to leadership made America safer? The results are in, and the answer is: no. Read more »

Thanks to liberal judges everywhere, virtually everyone has heard of the “separation of church and state.” But what about “separation of mosque and state?” Some question whether Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan’s killing of U.S. soldiers at Ft. Hood was motivated by his belief in Islam or whether he got a pass from politically correct superiors fearful of accusations of religious bigotry.

MSNBC’s Chris Matthews describes the U.S. Army academy at West Point “the enemy camp” when President Obama spoke there about Afghanistan. If the Army academy is the “enemy camp,” what does that make Obama…or Matthews? Read more »

The terrorist-sympathizing liberals have been whining about closing Club Gitmo aka the Guantanamo Bay terrorist POW camp. But Steve Crowder of PJTV went to Gitmo to check it out for himself. He found something scary–terrorists here have it better than civilian criminal prisoners in the States. Read more »

Are we going to stand complicit in our silence as wars without limit fought by people who proudly proclaim they love death more than we love life shoot our unarmed citizens in the name of God? Will we allow apologists for evil to blame the second amendment instead of telling us the truth? It’s time to rise up and say enough is enough! Read more »
