Just wow. Outstanding words and perspective for all. Thank you for sharing this and especially for your service to defending our country and its freedom.

You know, there is another person who could have had reason or basis to complain and want to have the historical record accurately portrayed. He didn't. He showed us how a patriot who loves his country should act at such a time ...

“Earlier this evening, President Obama called to inform me that American forces killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of the al Qaeda network that attacked America on September 11, 2001. I congratulated him and the men and women of our military and intelligence communities who devoted their lives to this mission. They have our everlasting gratitude. This momentous achievement marks a victory for America, for people who seek peace around the world, and for all those who lost loved ones on September 11, 2001. The fight against terror goes on, but tonight America has sent an unmistakable message: No matter how long it takes, justice will be done.”

A Man Called W: Ashley's Story

WC Fields — a great American too — is reputed to have said “Never give a sucker an even break.”

There’s a corollary for dealing with the arrogant con-man: “Never give a con-man a single word of good credit because he’ll use your credit in that one word to con many more.”

A man wise to the con gives Obama no credit at all.

Dubya got sucked into TARP I, that was also a con. By being conned — even if that TARP I worked out — he set us all up for the total disasters of TARP II, OBAMACARE etc.
