Audacity of Truth
Whiner-in-Chief:
"[W]hether the grumbling is about Republicans on Fox or bloggers in pajamas, there's a word for what the president and his aides are doing. That word is "whining." And nothing [...] does more damage to Obama's credibility or authority than the sense that a popular president is becoming the whiner-in-chief."

An incredible photo!
What an incredible shot of our bloodthirsty American troops!
Viewing that photo brings tears no matter how many times I’ve seen it.
This photo is one of the most moving and important photos I’ve ever seen. If the photo of the young girl running down the street naked after being napalmed in Vietnam is the image that seemed to capture the brutality of that conflict in people’s minds, there can be no doubt that this picture captures the essence of the current war. US soldier cradling the body of an innocent young girl brutally killed by the human animals that the Islamofacist terrorists are. More than anything, this captures the differences between “us” and “them” in this conflict.
