This Sailor's CreedI am a United States Sailor, and a Warrior first. I fight under the Red, White and Blue of my Fathers and descend from the line of Jones, Decatur and Perry. In my ears rings "I have not yet begun to fight" and "Don't give up the ship", and in my veins flows Fire and Gunpowder.
I will master my profession and demand that my fellow Sailors master theirs. I will follow when led, and lead when able. I will place nothing above the welfare of my fellow Sailors, save my Mission, and no matter what my ship, squadron, station or watch, I will help deliver Defeat to the Enemy.
With Honor in my deeds, Courage in my heart, and Commitment in my hands, I will do my duty until Victory is in hand and Liberty is secure.
The SeaThe Sea is a choosy mistress. She takes the men that come to her and weighs them and measures them. The ones she adores, she keeps; the ones she hates, she destroys. The rest she casts back to land.
I count myself among the adored, for I am Her willing Captive.
Praise for the Yankee SailorDoing the tough work that most journalists shun.

This guy would get a Knucklehead award if I only had a name. I don’t think having the FBI investigate a fake terror threat will help anyone facing deportation.

The Religion of Peace in Pictures
Iran, the 4th largest energy exporter in the world,
says it needs nuclear energy for “peaceful” purposes.
This recent picture from Tehran
suggests a different motive.

Islamberg New York
This Islamic community is radically anti-American and serves as a military training compound for those who would do jihad on the United States. Even so, it operates as a tax-exempt organization on American soil.

OTA – Islamic Funding of Terrorism
As much as Muslims may harp about how peaceful and beautiful Islam is, the plain fact is that Muslims will trade in any forbidden vice, do any evil deed, sell slaves, kill animals, or deal in drugs as long as it is done to destroy infidels.

Why is Iran so quiet?
Iran, their nuclear program and their President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, have disappeared from the news lately. Why? There must be a reason. Ahmadinejad loved the spotlight, so why is he so quiet? Perhaps the Iranians have nothing to complain about. Perhaps

American leftists on verge of capitulation
Can you see why al-Qaeda is so emboldened? The Democrats (along with their handmaidens, the pollsters, and the leftist media) have so drowned out public opinion in the Country, our enemies get the impression we are all primed for dhimmitude.

Hear! Hear! For UC Riverside!

Brit Hume And Fox News Winners Of The Debate
After watching Chris Matthews fail miserably, with what can only be described as a waste of time, it was refreshing to see Brit Hume host a respectable debate.

Falwell falls, and the left gloats
Whether you liked him or not, he was a very measurable influence on many people, both good and bad.
And rather then take bets on whether he roasts in hell or sings with the saints, I would rather examine what he did and said, and evaluate the effec…

Jerry Falwell, RIP
Jerry Falwell’s death is not going to change anything on the political scene, because he’s been retired from public life for quite some time. His influence belonged to an older era, where information moved slowly and television was king. Nonetheless,…
