THIS IS BRILLIANT

Counterterrorism Strategies Could Work in Our Schools by Thomas Gibbon


"The counterterrorism strategy our military uses in Iraq and Afghanistan is “clear, hold, build.” Something similar is needed to sweep out gangs in this country, particularly in our inner cities, where huge numbers of residents feel they are held hostage by hot-headed, violent, destructive and angry young men and women . . ."

This incredible concept was crafted by a teacher who serves on the front lines of one of America's most gang-ridden neighborhoods: Baltimore, Maryland.

"Free" health care.....from Rico

It took Obama six months to pick a dog, but he wants a Health Care Bill by next week?

Who's he kidding?

Besides, that $700+ billion "stimuless" that we just HAD to have RIGHT AWAY worked so very well that what's another TRILLION or so to "fix" the best health care system in the world? Surely we can trust gooberment to handle that!?
- Besides, it'll doubtless be "free" right? (ignoring the caveat 'it's worth exactly what you paid for it' because with gov't intervention we'll easily pay double and get half, at best).....although my own definition of 'free' health care is for gov't (this is for YOU Obama, you too Congress) keep its incompetent hands OFF of health care and leave it alone.

To paraphrase: It ain't broke, so don't 'fix- it!!!!!

Triumph or Hell?...........from Rico

It is a TRIUMPH for the government-run education system, the NEA, and the Dept of Education!!!!!!! [see attached map-poll]

The American public is now so effing-stupid and ignorant that they are now ripe for the picking by hack ideologues (D). "Progressives" marching boldly into the past, choosing fairycake MMGW over Pasteur, and taxing once-free men back into serfdom with impunity.

Socialized medicine. Cap and Trade. Trillion dollar deficits. A national debt that places a six-digit debt obligation on every American. Double-digit unemployment. The shrinking Dollar. Foreign creditors pushing for a new global currency to replace the Dollar. A POTUS who is revealed as more clueless with each passing day.

Welcome to Hell. Welcome to Obamaland.

Embrace it, because it surely is embracing YOU!!!

More damned MMGW!!!.....from Rico

Did Al Bore give a speech in Argentina?

More damned MMGW (man-made-global-warming) has hit there. The worst snow storm in 50 years clobbers buenos Aires.

Yep! The sky is falling and we're all gonna die! Better get that fakey Cap and Trade bill jammed through Congress before people figure out all it's going to do is pick their pockets!!

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: JULY 25th, 1944

July 25th 1944 was one of the bloodiest days for Canadians of World War II.

450 Canadian soldiers were killed, and 1100 were wounded in the French town of Verrieres, during the Anglo-Canadian advance toward Caen, part of the Normandy campaign.

Last UK Veteran of WWI Trench Battles Dies at 111 - AP

Harry Patch, Britain's last survivor of the trenches of World War I, died today at 111. Patch was wounded in 1917 in the Battle of Passchendaele, which he remembered as "mud, mud and more mud mixed together with blood."

"Anyone who tells you that in the trenches they weren't scared, he's a damned liar: you were scared all the time," Patch said.




This man has witnessed horrors of war the likes of which today's warrior generation can barely imagine.

TRAITOR

America has had traitors in every war we've been in - here is the latest to betray his country:

AMERICAN CHARGED WITH GIVING AL QAEDA NYC SUBWAY INFORMATION - AP
Thursday, July 23, 2009



NEW YORK - An American man charged with giving Al Qaeda information on the New York transit system and attacking a U.S. military base in Afghanistan has been a secret witness in the fight against terror both here and overseas, authorities revealed Wednesday.

Bryant Neal Vinas, a.k.a. "Ibrahim" or "Bashir al-Ameriki," grew up on Long Island. Vinas received "military-style training" from Al Qaeda, and was captured in Pakistan after participating in a rocket attack on U.S. forces in Afghanistan in September 2008.

The only crime worse than murder is treason - S.L.

LETTER FROM THE BOSS:

As the CEO of this organization, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barrack Obama is our President and that our taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way.

To compensate for these increases, our prices would have to increase by about 10%.. But since we cannot increase our prices right now due to the dismal state of the economy, we will have to lay off sixty of our employees instead.

This has really been bothering me, since I believe we are family here and I didn’t know how to choose who would have to go.

So, this is what I did. I walked through our parking lots and found sixty ‘Obama’ bumper stickers on our employees’ cars and have decided these folks will be the ones to let go. I can’t think of a more fair way to approach this problem. They voted for change, I gave it to them.

I will see the rest of you at the annual company picnic..
