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.

Pledging Your Moral Stand for Immigrants Rights
In the coming weeks and months your church may ask you to sign a pledge that you will take “a public, moral stand for immigrant’s rights.” If you oppose illegal immigration, are you ready for this faith challenge? Isn’t it possible to stand for human…

How NOT to move
I have to get my feedburner going correctly, and so many things I should have thought of before I said it was okay. NEVER say it is okay until you have changed everything you want to take with you. I have a sitemeter which I thought about first.

Strange Video: Familjen – “Det Snurrar I Min Skalle”
This video is highly unusual. The footage comes from unknown (at least to me) film footage from the 1960’s (possibly) of a charismatic healing service most likely from somewhere in Europe. It’s spliced together in such a way to make it appear that …

In Fairness to Fred Thompson…
Stating the GOP race is more competitive now seems an obvious conclusion and more plausible than the flawed theory proposed by WaPo or vaguely disclosed sources.

Cartoon Counter-Jihad
I’m not a graphic novel reader myself, but this looks interesting. JW: The main character in The Infidel, the upcoming graphic novel by the ex-Muslim Bosch Fawstin, is another ex-Muslim cartoonist. The one who is a character in the book

Who is the racist?
To me, that is a reasonable response.
As to Jesse, his racist stripes are showing.

Final Word: OJ
They arrested him, but he made Bail. They charged him with everything but the fall of man.
He’s not going to escape this barring some miracle, so the Goldman’s will gloat.
My only real question?
