Time for the GOP to make a Hard Right

After giving up the White House and numerous seats in Congress, the GOP is doing exactly what it should be doing. Reorganizing and coming up with a plan. All over the country, Republican groups are getting together to discuss the future of the Party. Those that call themselves "moderates" are calling for Republicans to move away from those pesky "evangelical" and "religious" members that can't seem to let go of that killing unborn babies thing or that annoying aversion to Gay Marriage. These same "Moderates" thing the GOP should also loosen up on Al Gore's money maker, "Global Warming". Some would call these people a RINO (Republican In Name Only). I have another name for those people..... Democrats.

Take Kathleen Parker, Please! And anyone else who agrees with her....While her name is not familiar yet, get used to her, she was just named Republican of the Year by the OLM. In a Column entitled "Giving Up on God" that appeared in the Washington Post, Parker wrote:

As Republicans sort out the reasons for their defeat, they likely will overlook or dismiss the gorilla in the pulpit.
Three little letters, great big problem: G-O-D.

I'm bathing in holy water as I type.

To be more specific, the evangelical, right-wing, oogedy-boogedy branch of the GOP is what ails the erstwhile conservative party and will continue to afflict and marginalize its constituents if reckoning doesn't soon cometh.

Simply put: Armband religion is killing the Republican Party. And, the truth -- as long as we're setting ourselves free -- is that if one were to eavesdrop on private conversations among the party intelligentsia, one would hear precisely that.

The choir has become absurdly off-key, and many Republicans know it.

But they need those votes!

So it has been for the Grand Old Party since the 1980s or so, as it has become increasingly beholden to an element that used to be relegated to wooden crates on street corners.

Short break as writer ties blindfold and smokes her last cigarette.

Which is to say, the GOP has surrendered its high ground to its lowest brows. In the process, the party has alienated its non-base constituents, including other people of faith (those who prefer a more private approach to worship), as well as secularists and conservative-leaning Democrats who otherwise might be tempted to cross the aisle.

There seems to be an increase in the use of labels in Politics. Where there used to be Republicans and Democrats, there are now Libertarians, Constitutionalists, Conservatives, Moderate Republicans, Neo-Conservatives, Moderate Democrats, Liberals and Socialists. Let's not forget the Independent-Right leaning or the Independent-Left Leaning. People have not changed, just the labels have. Take me, for instance, I didn't find out that I was a Conservative until college. I knew I was a Republican, I didn't know you needed to add the Conservative part. To me Conservative-Republican sounded redundant. Oh How I miss Reagan.

While I was ready another blog the other day, I came across a link to Yourmorals.org, a fascinating site where you can "Test your Morals" and find out just how you compare to other Republicans and Democrats on some major issues. Turns out I'm even more Conservative than I thought, I'm pretty sure I'm now officially a Right-Wing Nut Job on the scale. To be honest I kind of sensed that about myself anyway. I've always recognized Ann Coulter's Genius.

I must admit I've also got a Political Crush on Jonah Goldberg as of late as well. His book "Liberal Fascism" is a must read for anyone who wants confirmation of your fears about the "New Thought Police" first identified by Tammy Bruce. Goldberg made the good list this week again, with his very public response to Kathleen Parker, by saying, "Quit it. Kathleen"in his column at the National Review

I don't know what's more grating, the quasi-bigotry that has you calling religious Christians low brows, gorillas and oogedy-boogedy types or the bravery-on-the-cheap as you salute -- in that winsome way -- your own courage for saying what (according to you) needs to be said. Please stop bragging about how courageous you are for weathering a storm of nasty email you invite on yourself by dancing to a liberal tune. You aren't special for getting nasty email, from the right or the left. You aren't a martyr smoking your last cigarette. You're just another columnist, talented and charming to be sure, but just another columnist. You are not Joan of the Op-Ed Page. Perhaps the typical Washington Post reader (or editor) doesn't understand that. But you should, and most conservatives familiar with these issues can see through what you're doing.

Take That, Ms. Parker.

Online columns are not the only place these internal 'bitch slaps' are being exchanged. As Alexander Burns is reporting over at Politco, the Republican 'thinkers' at the National Review Insitute traded barbs including "Liberal" and "Cancer". You can guess which faction each represents.

Over at the RNC, the battle for the Chairmanship has begun between Michael Steele and Katon Dawson who have 'officially' announced their candidacy. Other names are still being thrown around including Duncan Hunter a darling among many conservatives. Let me tell you what I like about Michael Steele, a legitimate conservative voice, he's witty, photogenic, comfortable giving National interviews and already has his own Website promoting his effort. Since the Chairman's job is basically to market the GOP to the public, it's important that person know how to get a message out in the "new media" as well as the OLM. On the issues and the strategy, Steele seems to get it.

Steele wrote "Listen.Adapt.Be Positive" in the Wall Street Journal....

Republicans once said that the opportunities this nation has to offer rest not in government but rather in the hands of individuals. Over the past decade or so, however, we Republicans lost our way. The disparity between our rhetoric and our action grew until our credibility snapped. It wasn't the fault of our ideals. It was the failure of our leadership.

Over time, our principles morphed into baser motives. Continued political dominance grew more important to those who led us than the noble vision most of us originally signed on for. And to maintain power we turned to the controls of government -- we became the party of big government. We behaved like Democrats

.

Steele goes on to say that we need to talk more about what we stand for and less about what we oppose. I tend to agree with him. Having said that, those that no longer Stand for the Platform and Principles of the Republican Party can go. We don't need to become more liberal in order to win elections. We've always won when we stood by our Conservative ideals rather than abandoned them. Obama didn't win by running as the most Liberal Senator in Congress in the national election as he did in the Primaries. In the National election he made promises of "Tax Cuts for 95%" of Americans, even though he has Never previously supported a Tax Cut in his very short career, Americans liked the way it sounded. Hint: It sounded Conservative.

It's not just the RINO's that are crying for more "moderation", the Liberals also think the Repbulican's should move left.Mort Kondrake is just the latest member of the OLM to give advice to Republicans. He suggests that the Republicans need to stop letting Conservative Talk Show hosts set our Agenda, as though they have been up unto this point. Clearly Mort doesn't tune in to Rush or Sean very often. Forgetting the ridiculousness of the premise...Why would any Republican want advice from a Liberal? Are we supposed to believe that Kondrake really has our party's best interest at heart. Never, Never Trust a Liberal. In fact I think we should do the opposite of what Kondrake is suggesting, it's time for the GOP to make a Hard Right.

It's time we separated the Wheat from the Chafe. For those "moderates" that want us to move to the center...take a look at the results from Nov 4th, How did that work out for you? John McCain was the perfect "moderate republican" candidate, always willing to "Reach across the Aisle" to work with the Democrats. I think it was Margaret Thatcher who said "if you stand in the middle of the Road, you get hit by a Car." We've been hit twice now, it's time to get out of the Middle of the Road and back on the side of Conservatism.

Hey Chicken Little, The Sky is Falling....

I'm sensing a theme in what I'm reading and in conversations I'm having with friends. It would appear the Sky is Falling and people are Scared. Mostly of what a Barack Obama presidency will bring. I'm not the only one who has noticed, Selwyn Duke over at AmericanThinker wrote a fantastic description of this phenomenon.

In all my life I have never seen an American politician who could make so many Americans' blood run cold.

Yeah, that sounds about right. Duke's article is directed at the President-elect's plan to create a Civic Group as well funded as our Military, a/k/a Obama's Youth and the terror it causes in people who are familiar with history. You know that time in the past, when People were so eager for National pride that they supported the Nazi party, because of Hilter making him Chancellor? Or when Cries of Revolution! Turned into Castro's Cuba? I don't want to be accused of "Godwin's Law" a term I didn't even know existed until today, it's a term coined in the olden days of Internet chat stating that comparing anyone to Hitler diminishes the real thing or the threat of the real thing. It was term that's origins make sense but also prove a strange point. Liberals have been running around for eight years calling George W. Bush, Hitler. Never mind the fact that there has never been a great friend of Freedom or Israel than our Current President. Still they called Bush, Hitler and Nazi. Now we've got a President-elect who smacks of Marxist ideology and talks about an Organized Civil Force. Obama's propaganda site Change.gov has already been altered multiple times adjusting the agenda and scope of the planned "Universal Volunteer Civil Force". This behavior has drawn the word "Orwellian" to more than one person's mind.

Barack Obama was a founding member of the board of Public Allies in 1992, resigning before his wife became executive director of the Chicago chapter of Public Allies in 1993. Obama plans to use the nonprofit group, which he features on his campaign Web site, as the model for a national service corps. He calls his Orwellian program, "Universal Voluntary Public Service."

Investor's Business Daily Sept. 4th 2008

Orwell's Children live among us now, not in tiny numbers in weird Marxist cults like Jim Jones' People Temple, but as leaders of Congress, as the establishment of academia, as the producers of news and entertainment, as the administrators of public schools

-David Walker, American Thinker "Orwell's Children"

This second quote touches on the next Reason people fear Obama. His unbridled control over information. The OLM is eagerly awaiting their next assignment from The One. What will happen if the Dems get their magic #60 votes and the "Censorship Doctrine" is brought back? What will be the Punishment for a dissenting voice? People are scared that this could happen because Liberals seem content to imagine a world free of opposition to their view. One friend told me about her concern that Liberals actually Fear information. I know where she's coming from, many liberals talk about Fox News as though watching it could result in a retro-active Vote for Bush. I disagree with the way the News is presented on CNN, but at no time do I fear that by watching CNN I will somehow turn into a Godless Liberal. Liberals beliefs are so easily swayed that they can't even hear/read an opposing view point. So much for Open mindedness.....

Then you have the current economic crisis. Who knew that electing Obama would cause the largest slide in the Markets since the crash of 1987? Rhetorical question but give yourself two points if you answered: Anyone who listened to what businesses were saying prior to the election. Remember the owner of the Miami Dolphins saying he was selling his share in anticipation of an Obama Victory to avoid Obama's ridiculous plan to increase capital gains tax, famously saying "I'd rather give it to charity". I'm convinced that some of what we are seeing is healthy companies making cuts prior to becoming unhealthy under the new Obama Tax Code. It's what a good business should do. The Markets are reacting to what we all know, Government involvement hurts the Free Market every time it's tried. They also know the Obama administration plans to get as involved as possible and now they've got a blank check to do so.

This debate about whether or not to bail out the Auto Industry is futile. Once Obama's sworn in he'll be handing out Your money to the Big 3 by the fist-full. He made that clear when he "leaked" his desire to Bail them out. Welcome to Nationalized Auto Sales! Because with the Government money comes that word that Liberals like to use to sound important, "Oversight". Ha! When a Democrat says Oversight, what they mean is regulations and rules that will please my Environmental and Union Donors. Where is a good old fashioned Union Buster when you need them? The UAW is to blame for this mess. But you won't hear that from The One's Administration, ever.

Then of course there is the very real fear of Obama's inexperience on issues of National Security. For all the reasons that I didn't trust him prior to November 4th, I still don't. But the good news is...We've pretty much won in Iraq. This Saturday, an online celebration of Victory in Iraq will be taking place to honor the troops that have made the handing over of Iraq to the Iraqi people possible, since the OLM is ignoring the story. Bad News still have to deal with the Rest of the Region.


The Culture of Life in the Bush Administration will be replaced by an Abortion on Demand philosophy. This is causing many Christians and other pro-life advocates to lose more than a little sleep at night at the thought of all restrictions being removed from current abortion laws as Obama has supported.

So while all of these concerns are Real if the Sky is Falling, what are you going to do about it? Are you going to Run around like Chicken Little or are you going to take Action? Let me tell you this, Fear is a funny thing. It can paralyze you, if you let it. Taking action will have positive effects both psychologically and practically.

Contact Your Representative in Congress Today! Tell them how you feel on whatever issue drives you. Save their contact information and Use it regularly. Keep tabs on Issues and Bills that concern you! Don't just Run around like Chicken Little, Let Your Voice Be Heard!

Negligent Voters + Media Malpractice= Obama's Presidency

You know how we've been making jokes about the blind Obama followers? How we laughed at their unabashed worship? There is a reason jokes are funny, it's because the good ones contain a grain of Truth. In the case of the Obama disciples, it's more like a Silo of Truth and I'm not sure if it's Funny anymore.

The Onion known for their satire of current events even produced a news segment entitled "Obama Wins Causes Supporters To Realize How Empty Their Lives Are"



Obama Win Causes Obsessive Supporters To Realize How Empty Their Lives Are

HowObamaGotElected.com released a video this weekend as a teaser for an upcoming documentary on called "Media Malpractice...How Obama got elected" This clip show interviews with 12 actual Obama voters on election day immediately as they left the polling area. The questions are not intended to embarrass the participants but instead to shine a spotlight on the way the OLM impacted the 2008 Presidential election. They include such "gotcha questions" as Who controls the Congress? And Who is Nancy Pelosi? The results are not surprising, but that doesn't make it any less disturbing.

As you watch, think about this 12 people interviewed. How is it that they know basically the exact same information? Don't think the Un-Fairness Doctrine is Important? Keep this in mind, less than a month ago the Pew Research center released a study showing that Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh listeners were significantly more informed than those that got their news solely from the OLM. This Video confirms the need for alternative voices that would be silenced by the Censorship Doctrine.



The group also hired Zogby to conduct a telephone poll that gathered similar results. The poll found that 86% of Obama Voters didn't know Obama said that he would bankrupt the coal industry while skyrocketing energy prices, but Did know that Palin's wardrobe supposedly cost $150,000. It's about Priorities people. Who cares about the loss of an Entire Industry and all the jobs it creates? What really matters is what a candidate is wearing. I won't even get into the fact that the $150,000 was used to buy clothes for the entire Palin clan, so they weren't mocked by the OLM for being too "small town". Nor will I mention I didn't read anything about how Much the Men's hand tailored designer suits costs...

FreedomMarch.org a group that was formed mid-October in response to the OLM's handling of the Rhasid Khalidi tapes being held by the LA Times, has a great quote "Three political parties exist in the US today: Patriots, Socialists, and the uninformed." Joe - FreedomMarch Founder 11-5-08


It's not as though this information was not available to the masses. It just wasn't spoon fed to them by the OLM. Something like 85% of people have access to the internet, so John McCain should have won by that margin alone. Obama followers made a choice not to be informed about their candidate. Most of you can probably confirm that through personal experience. I know when I tried to have a conversation with them, they weren't really interested in hearing anything about the One anyway. They would exclaim he "transcends". Which I now understand, that was their excuse for being a lazy voter. No need to research or learn anything. Just believe in Obama.

While the OLM is partially to blame for the Uninformed part of that equation, the People who choose to not to research their candidate before pulling the lever are equally as responsible. It is our job to educate these Obama Voters, friends and family that for whatever reason bought Obama's Magic Beans, we need to do it one Vote at at time, so we can slow down the Socialism Train in 2010.

Bill Ayers "Mock the Vote" Tour 2008

Remember Bill Ayers, that guy that 'lived in Obama's Neighborhood', well the OLM finally found him. He was spotted on the set of Good Morning America pitching his book called ready for this? " Race Course Against White Supremacy". Ayers is cashing in on what he calls his "brush with celebrity", by Reissuing his classic book "Fugitive Days"...You know when he was on the run with his terrorist wife Bernadette Dorhn before they turned themselves into the FBI. In the new versions, Ayers refers to The One as a "family friend". Awesome.

Here's the interview

on GMA.

Now the OLM wants to talk to Ayers? Just a week after the election, ABC News all of a sudden thinks he might have something to say. I could be wrong but this feels a bit like they are rubbing our faces in it....

And to be honest when I watched the following video of Bill Ayers and his terrorist Bride, Bernadette Dorhn, I became convinced they are laughing all the way to the bank. They believe that America just swallowed the pill of Socialism. When these two are Giddy about the direction our Country is headed in, I think we have a reason to be concerned.

In an interview on Democracy Now! when describing how he felt at Obama's Million Dollar Bash on Election night, Ayers says "I mean, it was the sense that we were going to leave behind the era of 9/11 and the era of fear and war without end and repression and constitutional shredding and scapegoating of gay and lesbian people, on and on.." Leave behind the era of 9/11? We made a promise to those that lost their lives that day...we promised to Never Forget. Bill Ayers said something else that day...that his terrorist organization the Weather Underground should have done more. Now he calls the President-elect, a "family friend".

As I've said before his wife Bernadette Dorhn was wanted by the FBI in connection with Weather Underground activities as well. It is not lost on me that this is what she had to say about Obama's campaign..."He’s been vetted and vetted and vetted, and there was nothing there to throw at him" Vetted and Vetted? Really? Because I would have loved to have seen an interview with you about a month ago...I'm just saying...




H/t GatewayPundit

Raw arrogance has become a trademark for the un-repentant terrorist. When the FBI failed to gain a conviction due to a technicality, Ayers famously quipped " Guilty as Hell, Free as a Bird, America is a Great Country."

There is none of that guilty talk now though...Now just 27 years later he paints himself as a common Vietnam war protester.

Ayers continued his My Best Friend's going to Be President Tour with a speaking engagement in the pit of all evil DC. While he was welcomed by some that attended, others stood with their backs to him in Protest of his appearance as was reported at TownHall.com. When a man expressed his disgust at Ayer's appearance, Ayer's blames Fox News for any 'confusion' someone might have about him. That's Rich...the man has written books Bragging about his activities, and swipes at Fox News. I think it's called: Diversion.

Still not sure if Bill "I'm going to sleep in the Lincoln Bedroom" Ayers is openly mocking the absurdity of those who Voted for Obama? On Friday, November 7, just days after the election Bill Ayers attended a speech given by none other than Rev. Jeremiah Wright at Northwestern University as reported by the school newspaper, The Daily Northwestern.

Why do I have the feeling we're going to be seeing a lot more of this guy?

"Un-Fairness Doctrine" Updated!!

One of the problems in discussing the "Fairness Doctrine" is that the name itself is misleading. The more appropriate name is "Censorship Doctrine", as it has been called by many. I have multiple reasons for Vehemently opposing the re institution of this 'doctrine', not the least of which is my desire to maintain the Right as guaranteed to me by the First Amendment of the Constitution. The liberals are all about Freedom of Speech when it comes to Blasphemy and Treason but discuss Christianity or Conservatism and that's just Dangerous!

Wikipedia explains the principle:

"The Fairness Doctrine was a policy of the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that required the holders of broadcast licenses to present controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that was honest, equitable, and balanced."


What the Liberals will tell you: The Fairness Doctrine brings balanced information to the people.

The Truth: It will silence Conservative Voices.

Why? Because the Liberals already control the OLM, Talk Radio is the last bastion for Conservative Ideas to be shared. Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck are just a few of those voices that would be silenced. Conservative Talk Radio has flourished because people listen to it. Glenn Beck appropriately calls his show the "Fusion of Entertainment and Enlightenment". Conservative Hosts pride themselves on educating their audiences, with information and Wit. This model has delivered Limbaugh, Hannity and Beck the number one, two and three most listened to talk shows in the Country, in that order. So obviously it's working...

Liberal Talk Radio doesn't work mostly because people don't want to tune it to a Raving lunatic repeating himself over and over again for three hours...Think "Bush Lied" "Bush is a Liar" "Bush lies" etc. Liberals are incapable of defending their positions without resorting to Name calling and hyperbole. Who would tune it to hear that everyday? The disastrous Air America isn't successful because No one listens. No listeners, No Advertisers....it's a short trip to bankruptcy from there.

The Un-Fairness Doctrine would force Radio stations to broadcast a Liberal show for every Conservative show it airs. So if a station now airs Beck,Limbaugh, Hannity, they would be forced to replace at least one if not two of the previous with Randi Rhoades or the man who is trying to steal the Minnesota election, Stuart Smally himself, Al Franken. Radio stations would inevitably lose listeners, but they would also lose fifty percent of all the conservative Voices now on the air. When Radio Stations lose fifty percent of their listeners in one day, they switch formats, to something that will attract more listeners. Thus silencing even those Conservative shows that survived the initial cuts. Liberal Mission Accomplished.

Several democrats have expressed an interest in Censoring conservative voices through this measure, including Sen. Jeff Bingaman who calls the "Fairness Doctrine" a "Higher Calling"... in this interview with KKOB in New Mexico.




You can read more on the history of this document at the Museum of Broadcast Communications website.

The Media Research Center, a conservative media watch dog group has created The Free Speech Alliance a group according to the website that is made up of groups and individuals that are joined together to fight for Freedom of Speech. They have organized an online petition to "reject any attempts to limit free speech".

This is our first call to Action as Good Opposition Citizens. We Must stand up for the First Amendment, Freedom of Speech. It is our most sacred right to voice our opinions with out fear of reprisals from the Government.

Update: From GatewayPundit....



John Podesta's Media Matters is paving the way for the resurgence of the Fairness Doctrine. Podesta, a co-chairman of President-elect Barack Obama's White House transition team, and former chief of staff in the Clinton administration, was a critical player in the startup of this Far Left "media monitoring" website.
Media Matters is actively pushing to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine that would essentially silence talk radio.

Newsbusters also did a story on the OLM silence over the "Censorship Doctrine" calling it a "Broadcast Blackout".

Say more than Thank You to Veterans and our Troops...Support them

Today being Veteran's Day I thought I would take the time to recognize our Veterans as well as those currently serving in the United States Military. My husband is a Navy man, and it's just one of the reasons I love him so. It takes a special person to be willing to risk your life in defense of your Country, and I am eternally grateful to those who have chosen to serve.

You haven't heard much about our Troops in the OLM lately, but here's a little secret....We are Winning in Iraq. Yes it's been a slow road and we've made some mistakes, but within the last month we have turned over 2/3 of the provinces to the Iraqi Security forces. Because of the fortitude of the Men and women in the US Military, 55 Million Iraqi people live in a Country free of dictatorship. Sounds like "News" to me, but google search it...see how many OLM outlets have even covered this story....

While the OLM has spent the last seven years, planning our defeat, the Men and Women of the United States Military have been actually sacrificing for Victory. The Spread of Democracy and the destruction of Al-Queda. Those that have criticized the Bush Administration for ignoring Bid Laden, will be pleased to know that the New York Treasonous Times, has reported that secret attacks have been carried out against Al-Queda forces in Afganistan and Pak-E-stan since 2004. Breaching National Security is so important at the Old Gray Hag, they will admit they were wrong about the inability to operate two theatres of battle at once. I don't mean to make light of the fact that the NYTimes has once again put our Military's plans, operations and more importantly our personel at considerable risk, but I'm not surprised. It's not even the first time they've done it. Remember the secret CIA interogations...You know the one's that stopped numerous attacks....until the NYT's blew the whistle and the Liberals went insane....I digress...

When I say Thank you to those who are or have served my Country, I mean it. It is not some hollow gesture. I know I could not be as selfless as you are, I am not as brave as you are, nor do I have your strength. I appreciate all that you have allowed me to do in my life as a result of your sacrifice. I am not someone who only cares about the Military in theory, but not in Practice. I understand the role of our Military as Soldiers and defenders of Freedom.

Kyle-Anne Shiver over at American Thinker wrote an amazing article on Operation Gratitude, an all volunteer organization that fills and delivers care packages to all of our Troops in Harms way.



She talks about some unforseen benefits of Operation Gratitude's committment to care packages.

Every time I talk to Carolyn Blashek, America's Troop Mom, she tells me another story that sends chills up my spine and often brings tears to my eyes. This one, though, takes the cake as far as I'm concerned.


It seems that another wonderful American lady, who loves Beanie Babies, convinced Carolyn that these adorable little bean-stuffed critters would make a great addition to OpGrat care packages for the troops. Since the lady donated a whole lot of them, Carolyn agreed and faithfully included them in packages, not sure what the reactions from grown men and women in a theater of war would be.


Almost immediately, email began arriving, specifically mentioning the Beanie Babies. Stories were as varied and inventive as the great American ingenuity that inspired them. Soldiers told of Beanie Baby squad mascots, creative naming projects, competitive games centered upon the latest Beanie Baby, and on an on and on. Truly, even Carolyn was shocked at the overall success of the Beanie Baby project. Humorous diversions in hellish circumstances, of course, are as old as war itself, so perhaps we shouldn't be surprised.


But then, startling revelations began to arrive at the OpGrat headquarters, and the Beanie Baby project took on a whole new meaning. They were actually saving lives and helping to win the war.


Some of our truly exceptional, brilliant soldiers had the idea to trade the Beanie Babies with Iraqi children for information on hidden IED's. The children, so bereft of toys, gladly showed soldiers where explosives were hidden in exchange for the coveted cuddly critters.


Soldiers saved by a toy, proving once again that God truly works in mysterious ways. Who could have imagined this?

Read the whole article here

So on this day when we Honor our Veterans, take time to remember those currently serving as well. I plan to make a donation to Operation Gratitiude.



Kyle Ann gave a sales pitch I couldn't resist. "And this is how I've decided to think about these donations. Every single tax-deductible dollar that we give Operation Gratitude for our troops is a dollar that Barack Obama and Joe Biden will not get for their own squander."

Thank you to Our Veterans and to our active Men and woman in the United State Military. I am truly humbled by your service.
