Hero to the end: Gunnery Sgt. Thomas Sullivan, Springfield Marine killed in Chattanooga attack, went to aid fellow Marines when he was fatally shot

 

Mass Live "He was a hero right to the end, according to those who served with Marine Gunnery Sgt. Thomas Sullivan, one of four Marines killed in a deadly attack in Chattanooga, Tennessee, on Thursday, in what some officials are calling an ISIS-inspired attack.

"Sullivan, a Springfield native raised in East Forest Park, was running to save his wounded colleagues when he, too, was shot. He didn't survive.

"Known as "Gunny" to his fellow Marines, Sullivan "died a hero yesterday," Marine Sgt. Amanda Vincent told Sullivan's family, who gathered Friday at the Hampden home of his parents, Gerry and Betty Sullivan, to celebrate the life of the 40-year-old, two-time Purple Heart recipient and Iraq veteran.

" 'The only thing on his mind was if his Marines were OK. He had a chance to jump the fence and run, but instead he ran back to make sure (I) and the others inside and the Marines that were shot were OK," Vincent said in a message to the Sullivan family." . . .

"Sgt Holmquist returned from a 244-day deployment with the Marines last year, according to this photo posted to Facebook of his wife and son welcoming him home"

 UPDATE:  Obama to Jon Stewart: IRS targeting of Tea Party never happened
"In an interview for the "Daily Show," President Obama told host Jon Stewart that the IRS targeting of the Tea Party didn't happen and that Congress was really to blame for passing what he called a "crummy law," the Washington Times reported Tuesday. According to Obama, the real problem with the IRS was a lack of money, not a lack of ethics.

"The Daily Caller's Jim Treacher minced no words, and said Obama lied to Stewart's face. Worse yet, Obama claimed the law passed by Congress was worded so poorly that IRS employees implemented the law "poorly and stupidly."

" 'Boy, you really do have only a year left,"Stewart said. But Obama wasn't finished playing the blame game and continued, telling Stewart that Congress did not provide enough funds for the IRS and the Department of Veterans Affairs to work properly." . . .

 

Kiss Chinatown goodbye under Obama data-mined racial quota system?
" Obama admin racial data mining is about loss of freedom, not ending discrimination."

"In the NY Post, Paul Sperry of the Hoover Institution, highlights how massive data mining by numerous branches of the Obama administration is set to light a fire nationwide even where there is no government-sponsored, or intentional private discrimination in order to recreate communities and businesses, Obama collecting personal data for a secret race database:

A key part of President Obama’s legacy will be the fed’s unprecedented collection of sensitive data on Americans by race. The government is prying into our most personal information at the most local levels, all for the purpose of “racial and economic justice.” . . .

1938 and 2015: Only the Names Are Different

Dennis Prager
 

"We say that evil is dark. But this metaphor is imprecise. Evil is actually intensely bright, so painfully bright that people look away from it. Many even deny its existence.

"Why? Because once people acknowledge evil's existence, they know they have to confront it. And most people prefer not to confront evil.

"That is what led to World War II. Many in the West denied the darkness of Nazism. They looked the other way when that evil could have been stopped and then appeased it as it became stronger.

"We are reliving 1938. British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain went to Munich to negotiate with Adolf Hitler. He left believing Hitler's promises of peace in exchange for Germany being allowed to annex large parts of Czechoslovakia. Upon returning to England, Chamberlain announced, "Peace for our time." . . .
 

How Obama abandoned allies for African dictators

http://activistnewsletter.blogspot.com/2014/07/07-15-14-truth-about-gaza.html

American Thinker    "Few moves taken by the Obama administration have been more consequential and less explored than his disastrous foreign policy. While ObamaCare, immigration reform, and his now famous ‘rule-by-decree’ have long been under media’s scrutiny, a patchwork of diplomatic missteps have failed to rise to the top of the media cycle. However, historians looking back at America’s first black president will surely point out that his most fateful legacy has been shifting our country’s foreign policy center of gravity away from some of our closest allies in favor of a motley group of questionable leaders.

"In the right corner:

"For the first time in half a century, the U.S is changing its system of alliances, especially in the Middle East -- Obama has pivoted away from Israel and Saudi Arabia, made a mess of Libya, Egypt, and Syria, cozied up to Iran, and struck bargains with uncouth African dictators.

"Take Israel. Michael Oren, Israel’s ambassador to the U.S. up until 2013, caused a media firestorm in June with his provocative op-ed published in the Wall Street Journal that explained in an unexpectedly frank manner how Obama “abandoned Israel”." . . .Read more
