Internal Army Poll: Only 26% of Officers Say Army Headed In Right Direction Under Obama, “Political Correctness” Cited…

Weasel Zippers  "An internal Army survey that was conducted in 2011 and published this year discovered that only 26 percent of active-duty Army officers say yes–and that one of the two main themes cited by those who say no is that the Army is now adversely impacted by “political correctness” imposed by both outside policymakers and senior Army leaders."

"...political correctness or the influence of politics in the Army is a reason the Army is not headed in the right direction. These comments generally cited the negative influence of government policy makers (outside the Army) as being detrimental to the future of the Army, and indicated that senior Army leaders themselves felt the need to bow to ‘politically correct solutions’ to appease policy makers, or to ‘play politics’ within their own organizations.”

Charles Krauthammer: The ‘deterrence works’ fantasy

Jerusalem Post

Charles Krauthammer  "Iran’s clerical regime rules in the name of a fundamentalist religion for whom the hereafter offers the ultimate rewards. For Soviet communists — thoroughly, militantly atheistic — such thinking was an opiate-laced fairy tale.

"For all its global aspirations, the Soviet Union was intensely nationalist. The Islamic Republic sees itself as an instrument of its own brand of Shiite millenarianism — the messianic return of the “hidden Imam.” "  ...."The classic formulation comes from Tehran’s fellow (and rival Sunni) jihadist al-Qaeda: “You love life and we love death.” Try deterring that."

Jerusalem Post

....Israel is a “one-bomb country.” Its territory is so tiny, its population so concentrated that, as Iran’s former president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani has famously said, “Application of an atomic bomb would not leave anything in Israel but the same thing would just produce damages in the Muslim world.” A tiny nuclear arsenal would do the job.

..."The confident belief that [the Iranians] are like the Soviets is a fantasy. That’s why Israel is contemplating a preemptive strike. Israel refuses to trust its very existence to the convenient theories of comfortable analysts living 6,000 miles from its Ground Zero."

Rush Limbaugh: The Bigotry and Racism of MSNBC  "The singular focus of MSNBC for the past six days has been racism.  There's one subject that they're talking about: racism.  The racism of Romney; the racism of Ryan; the racism of every speaker at the convention; the racism of the Republican Party; the racism of every Republican and conservative.  It's all they're talking about.  It's laughably hilarious, except to them." 

Urban Legend: President Obama Did NOT Confuse Wisconsin State Flag for Union Banner

Truth or Fiction

Summary of the eRumor:  This is a forwarded email that says that while speaking at a Master Lock factory in Milwaukee, Wisconsin President Obama mistook the state flag for a union banner, pointed to it and said, "A Union shop since 1848."

The Truth:  President Obama did make a speech at the Master Lock plant in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on February 15, 2012 but he never said this.   The transcript and video of his visit are posted on the White House website.    Click here for transcript and video.   At first, we believed that this was someone's attempt at political humor but it turned out that there actually was a misidentification of the Wisconsin state flag for a union banner by Politico contributor Donovan Slack, who covered the event in [her] February 15, 2012 blog. The article was corrected and this notice appeared below it: An earlier 44 blog post about Obama’s visit to Wisconsin incorrectly identified the Wisconsin state flag.

Snopes has this to say about it.

LOL! Politico’s Donovan Slack Thinks Wisconsin State Flag Is Local Union Flag

Slack is referred to in this post from Big Journalism:  "Well, for the same reason Politico's Donovan Slack excludes the most important journalistic context in her own piece of hackery that blames Citizens United for Obama shattering the record for most presidential time spent at fundraisers:"...

That latest Navy SEAL's book controversy UPDATED

Newsmax; Pentagon Tells Ex-SEAL He Could Face Legal Action Over Osama Bin Laden Raid Book, 'No Easy Day'   Will they try him and Obama together or separately?
"It added that it is considering legal action against all those "acting in concert" with the SEAL on his book, "No Easy Day," which is scheduled to be released Tuesday."

American Thinker; Pentagon may prosecute ex-SEAL for bin Laden book  "However, erring on the side of caution is always a good thing. We just don't know what nuggets of info might fill in a piece of the puzzle our enemies are constructing from several different sources and reveal something that would be damaging to our security -- or threaten the lives of our operatives.
"The book is no doubt compelling and a good read. But Bissonette should have submitted the manuscript for review before publishing."

Navy SEAL Author Rejects the Pentagon's Legal Threat
Update: "Former Navy SEAL Matt Bissonnette is going to tell his version of events surrounding the death of Osama bin Laden, even if the Pentagon sues him for every last penny."

Blackfive; CLASSIFIED INFO REVEALED BY BIN LADEN RAID BOOK  "But the problem is that Obama can declassify anything he wants, and apparently has to make himself look good and to get that move out in time for the election. But if this dude said one thing that is not officially declassified he is done."

'No Easy Day': SEAL Memoir Contradicts Official Account of Bin Laden's Death  "In other words, bin Laden wasn’t reaching for a gun, nor did he make any effort to defend himself against the SEALs. Those details were key factors in the U.S. administration’s narrative of the raid, which also includes an anecdote — false, by Bissonnette’s account — of a prolonged gunfight between the SEALs and bin Laden’s operatives outside the compound." "

Let's HOPE we can CHANGE it back!

How To Guarantee Four More Years of Obama   "This is convention week, and the GOP should be building enthusiasm and consolidating behind Romney. Even better, the Libertarians should be mending fences with the GOP, and Ron Paul should be calling for his followers to support Romney as well."  Anybody else out there as tired of Ron Paul as I am? I still carry a grudge against Ross Perot for the Clintons.

Heritage; We Can Change America’s Course "The debate in Tampa this week raised a number of issues, including preserving the American dream of working hard to achieve success. The Heritage Foundation has extensive research and policy prescriptions on each of these issues:"....
"To put America on a path toward preserving and growing freedom, Spalding says, “The first step is to reduce the size and scope of government and unleash the engines of economic productivity and the institutions of cultural renewal.”"

 

Sweetness and Light; Obama: I Didn’t Sell Stimulus Enough   " President Barack Obama says his re-election might help end the political stalemate in Washington, much like “popping a blister.”
"In an interview with Time magazine, Obama says he expects Republicans in Congress to work more cooperatively in a second term, since his re-election would no longer be a factor."  

Oh, well then, I feel so much better about voting for Mr. Obama now.

American Thinker; The Problem with Barack  "Yet this man seriously seems to believe he is a king, free to pick and choose the laws and statutes he will obey or enforce, duly empowered to impel or forbid action by executive decree, without legislative approval."....

"Yet he is still nothing more than a small man -- so afraid people will see -- a man loath to allow those who would dare the freedom to do what they have always been free to do -- pre-Barack, of course." 

The Salesman  "Make no mistake … Obama has the salesman thing down cold.  He doesn’t need to work on his sales pitch; that managed to con millions of Americans into putting him in the White House!  The fact that his policies aren’t working is bad enough, but it’s frightening to think that this man truly believes his biggest weakness is his sales pitch."  Neal Boortz.
