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.

New Attacks on America Imminent
A new attack on American soil is imminent. That’s what al-Qaeda keeps telling us. In fact, they have told us this so many times, we are becoming complacent. We don’t even blink twice when a new video or audio take

Michael Steele for VP.
Let us start a groundswell for this wonderful man. He is the first Lt. Governor in Maryland since the office was opened in 1970, he ran for the Senate in 2006 (but lost due to other Republicans’ corruption–I financially supported him), he is now …

Obama on Defense (video)
I don’t know where this came from (I got it from Andrews Dad), but is is worrisome. While controlling spending is certainly advisable, and butting waste is essential, this contains far too many sweeping generalizations. It seems to me that…

The Parable of the Woman Who Cried Wolf
It’s a cruel paradox. To most people, Hillary Rodham Clinton is the woman who would do anything to become President. Now, all her plans are going up in smoke. She’s out there desperately trying to convince people that Barack Obama…

God Bless and Keep William F. Buckley
Rest in peace.
Rush Limbaugh on Buckley:
It’s a shame to even attach the term conservatism to this because it’s too narrow. It’s just right. These are principles by which people live and order their lives, and they have been shown…

Obama – Not winning any points with me this week
Obama seems to be the candidate of choice on the left, so examining his values and such seems to be justified.
Yesterday I noted a video that surfaced recently of him detailing some of his thoughts of the military. Frankly they concern me.&n…

Survey: Only 7% of Muslims want to kill us – Gee I feel better.
I saw this referenced at Hot Air:
Muslim Survey “Challenges” West
A new Gallup poll is being touted as a “challenge” to western misperceptions of Islam. The survey was done on three continents and took six years to comp…

Something to consider: Is McCain ineligible to be President by virute of his birthplace?
I doubt it, but I do expect this to be raised by many in the coming months:
McCain’s birthplace prompts queries about whether that rules him out
The question has nagged at the parents of Americans born outside the continental United…

Come The Revolution?
“There are four or five generals and admirals we know of who would resign if Bush ordered an attack on Iran,” The Sunday Times quoted Monday a source with close ties to British intelligence .
“There is simply no stomach for it in the Pentagon, an…

TTLF: Grey Lady Wonders If McCain Is Eligible To Be President
Back on February 8th, I posted about the nexty lefty meme being that McCain is not eligible to be President because he was born at Coco Solo Air Base in the Panama Canal Zone, August 29, 1936. Now, the New York Times jumps in with one of those “w…
