As for the Videos. . .

The first one was good. It was great to see the Gipper as he burst onto the scene with "The Speech."

Unfortunately, I did not make it even half-way through the second video, interesting though it was. I cannot stand to watch or listen to Obama. My four minutes of viewing did remind me, however, what a complete jackass he is. And a dangerous jackass. Fawning and groveling before the world of Islam was an utterly disgusting spectacle. This creep is a disgrace to this country, and a traitor to this country. I don't know about his birth certificate; but if he did turn out to be an alien, totally unqualified to be the president, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised.

Doesn't he love to quote "the holy Koran"? Can anybody remember this "Christian" ever quoting the Holy Bible?

The False God of Diversity

Almost immediately after the shootings at Fort Hood on November 5, General George Casey said, "Our diversity, not only in our Army, but in our country, is a strength. And as horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that’s worse."

How sad for the families who lost loved ones in the attck to have to listen such tripe from the Army's Chief of Staff. Casey went on to reiterate, "I will tell you that I firmly believe the strength of our Army comes from our diversity." To be kind, this is pure balderdash. Diversity is not the strength of the Army or our nation. Our strength is in our freedom, established by God and enshrined in our Constitution.

America has always had diversity in the armed forces and always will. But its strength is in the liberty that produces this diversity, not in the diversity itself. The Army could be just as strong even if every soldier was a fair-skinned, freckle-faced red head from Terre Haute, IN. The real strength of our Army is in each individual's commitment to serve and defend this great Constitutional American Republic in which we live.

Diversity has no intrinsic value in and of itself. Only the competence and integrity of individuals have intrinsic value. People should be judged on their competence and interity regardless of their ethnicity (I believe MLK said something about this). Today's definition and practice of diversity is devoid of common sense. It is a misplaced priority, a false god. Instead of extolling the virtues of diversity, General Casey ought to be extolling the virtues of allowing every United States soldier to carry his side-arm with him (or her) at all times, 24-7.

Forget about diversity, General Casey. We have sacrificed our resolve and unity as a nation for too many inane concepts such as this and now it has cost us 13 precious lives.

Now, Obama Won't Go to Berlin

Rush reports today that the Obamessiah has spurned the invitation of German Chancellor Angela Merkel to visit Germany for the commemoration of the fall of the Berlin wall. Rush surmises, correctly, I think, that Obama doesn't want to be upstaged by the memory of Ronald Reagan calling on "Mr. Gorbachev" to "tear down this wall." Rush says communists don't celebrate their defeats, that Obama will go there when the wall is put back up, in order to sign it. Great stuff by Maharushie.

To celebrate Obama's fear and respect for the Gipper, enjoy the Brandenburg Gate speech.
