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.

Obama’s Grim Warning
This is pretty heavy-handed rhetoric, especially for a Presidential candidate. To use the word riot, and to reference the Rodney King riots several times is more indicative of a threat than true reasoning to solve a problem. Democratic presidential hop…

Fred Thompson, what’s NOT to like?
Fred Thompson was the must see TV last night, not the latest Republican candidates debating. Even using the word debate is a joke. Too many candidates, lousy moderators and even worse questions. Fox News Channel set the bar so high
