Obama seeks to woo military vote from Republicans

Until we see a coherent plan implemented for winning in Afghanistan or a complete and total withdrawl of all forces from theater, Dear Leader will only get the votes of the genuflecting, ring kissing, rank protecting weasels in the rear.

Obama seeks to woo military vote from Republicans

Republicans responded even before the Obama campaign launched its attack. Anthony Principi, secretary of veterans affairs under the second President Bush, and Virginia Rep. Randy Forbes said that the troops returning home from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are struggling to find jobs and having to wait too long to receive disability claims as well as mental health services related to post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injuries.

“There is absolutely no matrix, no calculation you could use, that would lead you to believe that Obama’s policies have not failed veterans and military families,” Mr. Forbes said.

The New York Times reported last month that 870,000 veterans are awaiting response to claims submitted to the Department of Veterans Affairs, a waiting list that has doubled since Mr. Obama took office. In addition to veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, there are more than 200,000 claims filed by Vietnam vets seeking disability stemming from the spraying of the toxic defoliant Agent Orange

This topic was covered at last weeks 2012 Milblog Conference during a panel discussion on benefits "delivered, delayed, or dismissed." 

Rep Forbes addressed the conference that morning during the opening remarks. Hopefully I will have a link to that video shortly.

When your very livelihood is at stake, why of course you call a sitting Republican governor "Sikh Jesus".
What else can you do?

Diplomatic Credentials Can Be Revoked-Personnel Can Be Escorted to Airports

Another good reason to remove the HQ of the UN from American soil and put it somewhere. How stupid do you have to be to not see the potential for abuse of diplomatic cover? Islamist extremists will not stop until they or we are defeated. These people are not spies gathering intelligence for a government; they are fanatical extremists planning to kill as many American citizens as they can.
This is reality.
These people are serious.
They actually believe they will go to heaven if they die in the act of killing innocents.

Wherever We Stand, We Stand With Israel

In a hearing before the House Committee on Homeland Security last month, Rep. Peter King (R-NY), the chair of the committee, sounded alarm bells about “Iranian and Hezbollah terrorists” operating in the United States. More disturbingly, investigators and officials at the hearing said their assessments included apparent surveillance missions of sensitive targets across the country being carried out by these individuals, some of them with diplomatic credentials linked to Iran and the UN.

An investigation by his (Rep. King’s) staff had determined that " Hezbollah terrorists" were in the United States…An alarming part of the officials' assessments focuses on the apparent surveillance missions that Iranian diplomats and possible Hezbollah operatives have been seen conducting at sensitive targets such as New York subways and bridges, and at nuclear power plants and tunnels elsewhere in the United States in the past 10 years…The renewed focus on Hezbollah - which U.S. counter-terrorism officials regard as the most potent and disciplined of Islamic militant groups, even more so than al Qaeda-comes amid a growing confrontation over Iran's nuclear program.…At least a handful of people in New York connected with Hezbollah have also undergone military training in Lebanon, the official said…One factor heightening U.S. officials' concern about Hezbollah-related attacks is the accumulation of accounts of alleged attempts by Iranian operatives to "case" potential U.S. targets.

This is disturbing news that did not make the national headlines when it was announced last month. For this reason it is now more important than ever that you hear exactly what intelligence officials know and believe Iran is capable of on American soil.

To further raise alarms, an annual CIA report released to Congress indicates what Israel already knows: Iran is enriching uranium to 20% at its underground fortress, the final step towards deciding to make weapons grade fuel. But the report also paints a disturbing picture of Iran’s other weapons programs and the consequences of these weapons falling in the wrong hands.

In the field of weapons development, the report claimed that Iran continued its work on long-range ballistic missiles, in addition to its development of missiles threatening naval vessels in the Persian Gulf;…Iran, in addition, is striving toward a completely independent ballistic missile assembly line…U.S. intelligence also estimated that Iran had maintained its chemical and biological warfare capabilities, as well as developing what could be offensive applications of these capacities

I'm Looking For A Team in 2012

That can insure the continuation of the American Dream, not some pipe-dream socialist utopia where everyone is equally miserable. Right now, it appears to me that Herman Cain has the potential and the documented successes needed to head that team. I'm less concerned about foreign policy. I'm most concerned about domestic energy and jobs, domestic security and how much longer the America I grew up in will be allowed to exist if something isn't done in 2012.

I will be supporting Herman Cain in his bid to become the Republican nominee in 2012, because he is NOT a professional politician and seems to have a grasp of economics. I hope he knows we expect him to choose advisors experienced in the fields where he is deficient.

The time for career politicians and their handlers to go the way of the dodo bird has come. The Founders never intended for our system to become the monster it is.

They certainly didn't intend for people like the Prince of Pomegrantes Harry Reid and Princess of Pineapples Nancy Lugosi to ever carve a foothold wherein they became incredibly rich and stayed forever. The sense of entitlement, arrogance and uppityness that emanates from these two is so overwhelming, it causes nausea in most normal Americans and vapors and swooning in the ones who believe in it. They are no more intelligent than any other citizen, probably less intelligent than most, and certainly are as dumb as a box of rocks when it comes to handling the economy. They might know more than me in some areas but they are certainly not more intelligent.

I'm a well-employed, happy worker with a wife and two kids who are also well-employed happy workers. We love what we do; we do it well and we are adequately compensated for that effort, in spite of the governments attempts to take as much as they can.

I believe Herman Cain will be good for the economic well-being of America. Once that is secured and we are self-sufficient in energy production, America will be safe.

Hope You Enjoy the Sauce, FS 22

Jump over to our sister blog, United Conservatives of Virginia.

I guess I should explain that. I spent a few hours at a fire house today, setting up moisture tests. I gave the guys in the house a gallon of my sauce and left some CwtT brochures and my card with this website on it.
