This is a great video. It is of a Code Pink protester in Denver during the DNC convention. She got in a cops face and threatened him. So he did the right and appropriate thing, put the smack down on her.

I really hope I can.

The RNC just released this video highlighting Sarah Palin’s life and career. They ran short of time last night, so there was no chance to show this like they wanted to. For those that want to know a little bit more about Mrs. Palin, here is the video.

As anyone knows who has read this blog for any amount of time, I don’t tend to get too political on here. There are enough blogs out in the blogosphere that do that full time. However I have touched on politics and political issues when I deemed it was relevant to either our operations in Afghanistan or the military in general.

Well after a lot of thought and consideration, I have decided that it is time to pick it up a notch in the political arena. The way I see it, if Obama/Biden get in the White House then it will be really, REALLY bad for the military and the safety of our country. If McCain/Palin get in the White House, then it will be really, REALLY great for our country, our military and our security. So in this context, I feel getting political between now and November is very relevant. It is in my humble opinion that we cannot afford to let Obama get in the White House at all. We need the experience, bravery, courage, intestinal fortitude, and maturity that the McCain/Palin ticket will bring to the White House and our country.

Also, since the MSM, which I mostly despise, has taken their attacks and lies towards Sarah Palin to a whole new despicable low, I feel it will be on sites like this one and other ‘New Media’ outlets to try and keep the truth out there. The ultra-left liberal MSM like NBC, CNN, Washington Post, NY Times, etc. etc. etc. need to be silenced. Bring forward facts, and relevant issues. Not some sr. editor or owning company personal opinion. I mean if they can flout their opinion all over the airwaves, then I sure as hell can give my opinion on my blog.

Some of my readers may not like this, may not like me getting into some politics on here. Well, if that is the case, then don’t read those blog entries. They are easy to find as I put them in the Political Opinion Category. I look forward to reader comments about my decision to get more into politics. Comment to this posting and let me know what you think.

To celebrate this new direction, I thought I would embed what is probably one of the best speeches I have ever seen. Sarah Palin’s speech at the RNC.

Hats off to my buddy CJ over at soldiersperspective.us for this link.

Check out http://www.metallica.com/index.asp?item=601171 to see a great video (almost a short film) by Metallica from thier must ancticipated and upcoming CD, Death Magnetic. The song is called “The Day that Never Comes”. It was filmed at the home of the National Training Center, at Ft. Irwin, CA.

The video shows what a young marine goes through when losing his buddy in combat and then what he deals with when he expereinces a shoot/no-shoot scenario.

I am so glad that we are finally going over (at least in a large enough force where it is public). I have no doubt that we have been over there before and going after bad guys many times. That is the job of special operations forces. They are not supposed to be known, and they don’t look for publicity. So if this is making the news, then that probably means more conventional forces went over and I am sure they accomplished their mission.

I served my entire year on the Pak border, and I can tell you that during that time our concern and focus was always the Pak Military, and Pakistan. This is what we have needed to do, take the fight to the enemy.

I am not sure why this is an issue. It sounds to me like this is very appropriate. They act like dogs, they get treated like dogs.

My good friend, LTC Paul Fanning writes a blog for the Schnecetdy NY paper, the Daily Gazette. He published one today that deals with the Information and media war. Not only does this one contain his blog, but the official release from the Army into the investigation of the Aug 22nd attack which was claimed to have killed 90 civilians. Go check it out at http://www.dailygazette.com/weblogs/brigade/2008/sep/03/information-fight/

Hats off to the boys over at Blackfive.net for this great story and video. Take time to go read this, http://www.blackfive.net/main/2008/08/the-warthog-is.html and then be prepared to jump up and down, pumping your fist and yell HELL YEAH!!!

First watch this idiot, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thmueS0ngAs (WARNING, it has vulgar language) and then after you watch someone who I thought was a decent artist but instead sounds like a rambling crackhead, watch this one- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2amXLa-iZGw. The 2nd one is a retort to the first one, Sean Combs (govt name? what a flippin’ goof).

I rarely jump into the politics here, as there are enough blogs out there that do that. However, I was shocked at the stuff P-Diddy said (especially since I lived 9 years in Alaska), and I was impressed by the retort. I am not sure what you will think, but in P-Diddy’s video it almost sounded like he was saying that Sarah Palin does not deserve to be VP becuase there are no crackheads in Alaska. I have watched it twice and that is what it sounds like to me. Let me know what you think by commenting to this post.
