the TOWN HALL weblog

Today the Young Prince and I went down to San Diego to attend the 9/11 ceremony at the Civic Center:  http://photos.signonsandiego.com/080911memorials
The ceremony was sparsely attended as was the one we attended last year.  It isn’t very surprising that in the middle of a work day few people have time to sit and listen to a [...]

Well before the climatic moments of the Democratic convention, it was clear that something vital was missing from the Republican campaign
…the nature and extent of Sen Obama’s left-wing agenda doesn’t seem to have penetrated into the awareness of the American public…They just don’t associate him, the “Progressive” movement and the Democratic party [...]

Atlas Shrugs has these great pictures of our troops re-enlisting in Iraq.  http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2008/08/as-usual-the-go.html  The Obamamaniacs in the press would rather die than show these to you.  These are the ONES who are really saving America in the most literal sense. 

Yesterday Instapundit linked to an article  http://www.pajamasmedia.com/instapundit/archives2/023480.php pointing out that if Obama had been President in 04 we would have lost the War in Iraq.  This isn’t the first time this has been pointed out in the last few weeks.   All over the blog sphere people are saying that basically Obama was for another Vietnam, if [...]

Is Joe Klien running the US Government.  Atlas Shrugs http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2008/08/infiltrated-pen.html links to this story about an army engineer suspected of spying because he is Jewish  http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1008704.html  This makes so much sense, Israel is such a threat to US.  Israel has blown up US planes, and hijacked US ships, and killed US citizens, and attacked the US Navy and [...]

Here is another story of a National Guardsman recieving a medal for heroics in The War On Terror.   http://www.adaeveningnews.com/local/local_story_198162657.html
Well done Specialist Jordan!

But it sure wasn’t President Bush.  The biggest untold story so far this year is about the 550 tons! of yellowcake uranium that was taken from Iraq.  You know that yellowcake Joe Wilson and the Democratic party insisted Bush was lying about.

This happened a few years back as well, it was discovered, but mostly unreported [...]

Amazing story about a US Special Services officer, blinded in a mortar attack, who continues to serve in the Special Services.  http://news.aol.com/story/_a/blind-special-forces-officer-pushes/20080630093209990002?icid=200100397×1204660126×1200228762
 
A story like this leaves me speechless.  Cpt. Castro’s courage and resilience speaks for itself.

Every day the conversation around here is high gas prices.  I am bored beyond belief.  The obvious answer, we need to drill for our own oil, is the only one no one wants to talk about.  How much more fun are demented conspiracy theories, evil oil companies, Bushhitler and that darn Israel.   I dont’ want [...]

Move America Forward is having an online telethon on June 26 to send care packages to our troops overseas.  All of conservatives big names from Rush to Nancy Reagan will be there.  Ann Coulter will be a part of it as well, which is a laugh considering Coulter would rather our troops go down in ignominious [...]

…one may well wonder just what Mr Froomkin might be saying on this topic now, if it were Mr Clinton - or someone akin to him in world view - who was in the Oval Office and who was also the one whose immediate subordinates were implementing  polices - such as those [...]

“We are not voting to fill a vacancy amongst the angels.”

Liberating the island nation of Grenada seems kind of small in the grand scheme of winning the cold war. Nevertheless even the tiniest of President Reagan’s accomplishments has long lasting results. Here is a story of a young man born in the free island of Grenada who became a hero in the War [...]

Gen. Eisenhower’s “Great Crusade” D-Day Speech

Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Forces: You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you.
The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you. In company with our brave Allies [...]

I just read this on powerlineblog.com. Obama gave a Memorial Day speech, and began:
On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes — and I see many of them in the audience here today — our sense of patriotism is particularly strong.
My first reaction was “just how [...]
