Obama Promised Transparency – Robert Gates Delivers!!

Posted on by

Well, now…Retired Secretary of Defense Robert Gates has written a book, “Duty” which will be released within days and IN that book, he lets loose on several things but, the one that is raising the most eye brows, is the revelation regarding both Hillary and Obama and their opposition to the 2007 surge in Iraq.

Let’s get a few things straight here before we delve into the ramifications and the meaning of that bombshell.

First…Robert Gates has served this country through various administrations. He was the Deputy CIA Director for Reagan…The Deputy National Security Advisor and later, the CIA Director for Bush 41…And, the Secretary of Defense for Bush 43…A position he was asked to continue, by Obama.

Gates became the only career CIA OFFICER ever to rise to the level of CIA DIRECTOR and the only questionable activity in his record was due to the Iran/Contra affair but…

In the final report from the Independent Counsel for Iran-Contra Scandal, Gates was deemed, “close to many figures who played significant roles in the Iran/contra affair and was in a position to have known of their activities. The evidence developed by Independent Counsel did not warrant indictment…”

Gates’ service clearly, was driven by patriotism rather than partisanism.

There are those who claim he is doing nothing in this book except grinding an old axe but…

Camouflage and Christmas Lights

Posted on by

Every year, it seems, somebody asks me what I want for Christmas.

Over the years, the list has changed.

As a boy, my list included toys, maybe a new bike or a sled and maybe, just maybe, a puppy.

Such a list, I believe, is still the norm for kids today.

As I grew older, the list included more, substantial items.

A calculator, a new stereo, hiking boots and maybe, just maybe, a puppy.

By the time I was in college, my Christmas list had evolved to include a new camera lens, something for my first car…a 1977 Chevy Chevette,  money for spring break and maybe, just maybe…

Morally Bankrupt Budget Screws Our Veterans

Posted on by

In what may well be THE most hideous, shameful action taken by the 113th congress…

A budget bill PASSED in the senate yesterday that KEEPS INTACT, an IRS credit of $4.2 BILLION DOLLARS for ILLEGAL ALIENS while it CUTS pension benefits to RETIRED, WOUNDED MEMBERS OF OUR MILITARY!!!

Livid doesn’t begin to cut it.

For the next 20 years, the retirement cost of living benefits of those who have voluntarily worn the uniform of our nation and were forced into retirement due to the grievous injuries they received while defending OUR freedoms…OUR liberties and those of others in places half a world away are being CUT and, in some cases, those cuts could amount to a total of up to $124 THOUSAND dollars over the 20 years in question.

How in the world those who voted FOR this budget can look themselves in the mirror…Sleep at night or, better yet…FACE A WOUNDED WARRIOR…Is beyond comprehension.

These courageous heroes, men and women, were promised these benefits.

They knew the dangers going in. They faced their duty with the sort of steadfast courage most of us will never know or understand and far, far too many came home with the scars, seen and unseen to now discover that the very government that vowed their duty would be rewarded…LIED to them.

This is OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!

Veterans Day: Thanks is Not Enough

Posted on by

On the eleventh hour or the eleventh day of the eleventh month…

That was when, in 1918, the fighting ceased in WWI.

It started as Armistice Day…The recognition of WWI Veterans at the time the war to end all wars…Ended.

Over the years and the decades, the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month came to be a day of recognition for all veterans of the United States military.

Today is that day.

There are those, thankfully few and far between, who can’t for the lives of them bring themselves to honor our veterans, and shame on them.

They are the most ignorant of fools and the most foolish of the ignorant.

They are of the ilk bent on burning the flag to make their statements and far, far too knot-headed to realize that those for whom they display their disdain are the very reason they have the right to do so.

To hell with the fools and the ignorant.

Today…

Liberal Gun Policies Just Killed 12 More People

Posted on by

In the wake of yesterday’s horrific events in Washington DC, we have learned one thing.

We have learned that liberals haven’t learned one damn thing.

What happened on November 5th, 2009 at Ft. Hood happened again yesterday at the Navy Yard in our Nation’s  Capitol.

Before the shooter was dead and before the smell of gun powder had cleared from Building 197, liberals, those elected, those who sell socialist snake oil via the MSM and celebrities who think they are so important that they MUST open THEIR pie holes were once again, beating the GUN CONTROL war drums.

They need to shut the hell up.

I have a couple of questions to pose to those knot-heads.

WHY do they think Hasan opened fire at Ft. Hood?

WHY do they think that freak opened fire at Sandy Hook?

WHY do they think Aaron Alexis opened fire yesterday at the DC Navy Yard?

I’ll happily tell them why…

Aiding and Abetting al Qaeda in Sryia is TREASON!!!

Posted on by

Today is September 10th.

Or, to be more precise…9/11 eve.

On the eve of the day we were attacked by al Qaeda, not once but TWICE, I find it beyond disgraceful that our current occupier of the oval office is trying to gin up SUPPORT for bombing Syria and, thus ASSISTING…

AL QAEDA!!!

We are at war with al Qaeda.

Al Qaeda is our enemy.

Obama is trying, in desperation, to find enough votes from congress to launch an attack on Syria to aid and abet al Qaeda in taking control of yet another country.

It is, in no uncertain terms…

TREASON.

Obama says it will not be another Iraq or another Afghanistan.

Is he sure?

I’ll tell you what it WILL be…

It will be the same situation as it was the last time our government interfered in another country’s civil war.

It will be another VIETNAM.

Has John McCain slipped so far that HE doesn’t remember VIETNAM???

He was held captive there for more than 5 years. He was tortured there.

To this day, McCain is unable to raise his arms above his chest because of his injuries and yet, there is John McCain, willing to start the NEXT Vietnam…

Bombing Syria – “FOR THE CHILDREN!!!”

Posted on by

It’s absurd.

It has, for decades, been the whining cry of socialists and it has been as overplayed as that stupid race card.

“Do it for the children.”

“Oh…DO it for the CHILDREN (sob, sob) do it for the children.”

Whenever and wherever, common sense and logic interfere with socialists and their agenda…

“WE MUST DO IT FOR THE CHILDREN!!!”

As soon as all their unsubstantiated rhetoric is proven false…

“HOW CAN YOU SAY NO??? DO IT FOR THE POOR LITTLE CHILDREN!!!!!”

Millions…HUNDREDS of millions…BILLIONS…HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS…TRILLIONS of dollars have been goaded out of We the People because simpering elected officials are wetting their collective beds over the possibly of NOT “doing it for the children.”

“OH…THE HUMANITY…

“DO IT FOR THE CHILDREN!!!!!”

No matter the situation. Regardless of the circumstances. In SPITE of the degree of NONSENSE and in the FACE of any reality…

It has become as predictable as an ACME anvil falling on Wile E. Coyote.

A long, drawn-out slide whistle, pitching down…a second of silence…a faint…boom…

Weekend Edition: Between Barack and a Hard Place – Obama’s Options

Posted on by

Barack Hussein Obama, from behind, has led the United States once great and respected position on the world stage, down the path of destruction.

We have, in 5 years, gone from the world’s only remaining superpower to…

Super powerless.

It didn’t start with Syria and, it won’t end there either.

To understand the available options in this Obama Syrian disaster, we must first, know how we got to this point.

It started with the appointment of Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State, a position for which, aside from traveling to different countries while Bill was in office, she was unqualified to hold.

Hillary blew the Russian reset, accepted a handshake from North Korea, ignored Libya, hired our enemies as security, allowed her own security team to run drugs and hookers and mismanaged every last thing that she touched including, having as her top aide…Huma Abedin…Whose family is deeply connected to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Obama began the free-fall when he opted NOT to assist the freedom and democracy movement in Iran THUS SENDING A CLEAR MESSAGE to the Mullahs that Iran could proceed unhindered.

He exacerbated it further when he told Israel to fall back to their pre-1967 indefensible borders thus telling Israel’s enemies that THEY need not fear U.S. protection or assistance to Israel.

By leading from behind in Libya, Obama sent a clear and unmistakable message to al Qaeda that he was prepared to assist them in the conquest of a country and he provided them the arms with which to do so.

In fabricating the You Tube video story after the al Qaeda attacks in Benghazi, repeating that lie for 3 weeks, keeping the FBI from investigating IN Benghazi and the subsequent cover up OF Benghazi, Obama has sent the message to our enemies that they have nothing to fear even when they kill our diplomats.

In Egypt, Obama backed the Muslim Brotherhood, thus giving terrorism’s only political arm control of an entire nation and one which HAD kept the peace accord with Israel intact for more than 3 decades thus sending the clear message that the United States, under his rule, would turn our backs on our friends.

And so…Syria…

DICTATORS Don’t NEED the CONSENT OF CONGRESS

Posted on by

In a not at all surprising move yesterday, Russia and China, both vitriolic supporters of Assad, got up and walked OUT of a U.N. Security Council meeting regarding Syria and the impending military strike Obama is desperate to make.

They WALKED OUT.

Their position is clear and that’s not good news for the U.N. puppet, Obama.

He will NOT have the authorization of his beloved union of despots, thugs and thieves to launch attacks on Syria but…Will he have the authorization of his own CONGRESS?

Ahhhhh…That is the question.

Obama and HIS regime say that the impending strikes are not about regime change in SYRIA.

NOT ABOUT REGIME CHANGE IN SYRIA.

He HAS to make that claim, for doing otherwise, would be announcing his transparent support of al Qaeda and other terrorist entities in yet another sovereign nation.

He did it in Libya and covered it up.

He did it in Egypt and cloaked it in a “democratic election.”

He did it in Iraq and Afghanistan by announcing our retreat.

He did it in Iran by NOT interfering when pro-democracy protesters were massacred there.

Now, by aiding and trying to supply al Qaeda, Ansar al-Sharia and other such ilk in Syria, he intends to assist those terrorist groups by striking Syria with Tomahawk cruise missiles.

Obama wants to attack…

Obama – On the Verge of Starting WW3

Posted on by

For the last couple of days, I have outlined, here in The National Patriot, the foreign policy of this Obama regime related to Syria and I have tied in Benghazi, Gaddafi, Egypt and offered evidence that the WMD attacks in Syria were carried out by Syrian “rebels.”

I have also stated that ISRAEL is directly in the crosshairs.

Allow me to now expand on that scenario.

It is only a matter of time now, with more than 360 cruise missiles aboard U.S. warships, before Obama pulls the trigger.

There is something very, VERY important you should know.

The WMD inside of Syria, the components of which were most likely delivered to them by Saddam in the weeks leading to the war in 2003, can NOT…Let me repeat that for clarity…

CAN NOT be destroyed by missile strikes.

Obama can rain HELL on Syria with missile attacks but, he can NOT destroy the WMD as most of it is kept underground and, any strike ON it would SPREAD it.

Now…Consider that the WMD that has been used, has been used by the “REBELS” rather than by ASSAD and you will start taking in the bigger picture.

WHO ARE THE REBELS???
