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.

Those who do not learn from history…
In a democracy (”rule by mob”), those who refuse to learn from history are usually in the majority and dictate that everyone else suffer for their ignorance.

OBAMA LIKES THE THOUGHT OF A KNIFE GOING THROUGH A BABIES SKULL
So does Hillary to be fair. Partial birth abortion, is it really necessary? I mean, if there’s an eminent health risk, maybe, but as a form of birth control? How about keeping your pants on, that works too right?

War News: The Idiots Of Mission Accomplished
Once again, the Leftinistra are grasping at straws and, we that know better must answer this blatant and purposeful stupidity. I have already written of this at A Newt One and I have also written on this subject twice before I merged with A Newt One….
