Read my tagline.
I don't see a downside here...
A very fitting tagline, except are you sure he is our president? He sure does not act as if he is, and I refuse to claim him
I haven’t read the Rolling Stone article, but it seems from credible sources like Mark Levin that the General didn’t say anything worthy of losing command. The so-called inflammatory comments that our not-so-beloved president took umbrage with were made by unnamed staffers, etc.
Perhaps McChrystal took advantage of the situation to get away from this fool.
Now Barry will make Petraus go through a nomination process to take over the job!?! Does the outrage never cease! It’s like asking Paul McCartney audition for a WH show!
I don’t either.
America: Now illegitimizing people’s opinions by refusing to acknowledge the sovereign right of thought.
Pat brilliantly demolishes the media myth of Obama as a Trumanesque figure and convincingly shows the critical differences between the two events.
Obama, man, has anyone self compared themselves so much to past Presidents; I mean, one day he’s Rooseveltian, then Lincolnesque, now Trumanish.
Pat describes Obama’s dillema perfectly - the “disengaged dilletante” is gonna find out how hot the kitchen gets, July 2011 Retreat or not.
He’s our president because he signs the paperwork. If it is later shown that he has fraudulently held the office, those who helped keep him illegally in power should likewise pay the legal price. Since it would be seditious overthrow of our government to instill an illegible politician and engage in criminal conspiracy to cover up the facts, the punishment in court could be pretty fierce.
All of his legislation would become null and void as it would be counterfit. No matter whether Biden would claim to “sign it right away”. Some on the middle (who claim to be on the right) say that we shouldn’t even go there because of the constitutional crisis that would arise. Meanwhile 38% say it doesn’t matter if he is actually inelligible. This is why we won’t see the Stalinist left ever abandon their support for him in polls. Facts don’t matter. He’s “special”.
Easiest way to show Obama != Truman, based on everything Obama has EVER said:
The kid's never been accountable in his life.
Excellent article, thanks for posting.
Obama is for it.
Excellent article, thanks for posting.
When Obama and Company were elected two Novembers ago, I tried to warn some friends with U S Grant’s, “No enemy is half so dangerous as an unreliable ally.” Now, of course, we know that O & Co are not an ally, reliable or otherwise. They are our enemies. Not opponents, enemies.
When enough vets are ready to “fix bayonets,” let me know. I don’t have a rifle that will accept a bayonet, and I’m too durn old and slow to use one anyway, but please let me try to help. Pray for words to win our “war,” but don’t bet your freedom on it.
Michael Savage has the same assessment. Michael hypothesized that maybe the bigger reason was to push out someone who may not have supported open attitudes towards homosexuality in the military. Obama's still trying to get rid of "don't ask don't tell".
I bet you 0bama did not read it either, except the byline in the title the real enemy: The wimps in the White House, which gave him a hissyfit. Here is the articleThe Runaway General

I read about half of it. Much of it reminded me of why I let my subscription lapse about twenty years ago.
Nah Pat. An officer who becomes a 4 star with the lives of troops in his hands does not have a trace of colossal stupidity in his being.
Whatever the reason for the General and experienced staff to diss all the civilian leadership with a reporter on hand to take it all down, you can rule out stupidity and faulty judgment.
