I cannot imagine what it is like to tell one’s loved ones good bye, and to go off to duty, from boot camp or OCS to the battlefield. And yet, that is what millions of people have done over the years to serve our nation, and to protect our freedoms. This past Sunday’s Parade had [...]

Dear Mr. President. I hear the troops are coming back from Iraq at the end of this year, under the George Bush agreement with their government. I hope the situation does not change and I hope our current president does not have to break that promise to them, based on the facts in the field. [...]

I never thought I would see the day that ex-Governor Sarah Palin, WSJ’s Peggy Noonan, and WaPo’s Eugene Robinson* would agree on anything. Hell must have frozen over. Their unlikely agreement came as all three insisted it would have been better for the White House to release the post-mortem photos of Osama bin Laden, rather [...]

* Bumped Up * (This is a critical issue, written in Reverend Amy’s gifted language, that all of us as citizens must focus upon and demand that strong measures be taken to bring this unspeakable behavior to an end. – Bronwyn) No, I don’t mean whatever flu or cold this is going around right now.

The work has just begun. Despite Obama’s putting pen to paper on Wednesday, no one can come out of the closet just yet. The repeal has to be certified first, as this NY Times article highlights: The repeal does not immediately put a stop to “don’t ask, don’t tell.” Mr. Obama must still certify that [...]

It is less than two weeks until Christmas. With the economy the way it is, many parents are having a harder and harder time providing the necessities, much less providing presents to put under the tree. Here are a couple of ways you can help, even if you, personally, do not celebrate Christmas. This is [...]

* Bumped Up & Updated * Today, Thursday, is the day we recognize the sacrifices of our men and women who have donned the uniform of our country in her service. Many are gone, those brave souls who fought early in our nation’s history, and in the Great War, WWII, Korea, and Vietnam, too. We [...]

Whether you supported the Iraq War or not (and as I have said numerous times, I did not), there was very good news coming out of Iraq on Thursday. The troops are coming home (at least most of them): Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com

I don’t know about you, but I am ready for a break on all of the mosque brouhaha (e.g., are they building it or aren’t they, will they consider a different location, or won’t they?), Obama’s “incoherent message,” the continuing economic woes, and all the rest. So about that new person at West Point. He [...]

Though the Argentine Tango is smokin’ all by itself. But now, Argentina also has legalized same sex marriage. All that is needed to make it official is the signature of their (woman) president, Christina Fernandez. Do I even have to say what a big deal this is? I didn’t think so. This article provides the [...]

On this Memorial Day, we remember those who have died in service to our country. Their sacrifice the ultimate price, but one they paid willingly. To them, and to their families, who have also made tremendous sacrifices, we thank you.

By now, you have surely heard about Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal’s claim that he served in Vietnam: “We have learned something important since the days that I served in Vietnam,” Mr. Blumenthal said to the group gathered in Norwalk in March 2008. “And you exemplify it. Whatever we think about the war, whatever we [...]

In the midst of so much political wrangling right now, the tremendous devastation in Tennessee and the far-reaching effects of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico (thank heavens they have finally found something that is working), something seems to happens to remind us of the magic, the beauty, the strength, and sheer mystery [...]

This is an interesting turn of events. Recently, I reported that Obama is starting to face some real push back from Gay Rights groups over his lack of concrete action on “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” He had hecklers the other day, as well as military personnel discharged under this policy handcuff themselves to the White [...]
