We Won't Get Fooled Again

As a follow-up to my post regarding the DoD's "truth squad," everyone who is interested in the real news, straight from the folks who ought to know, needs to know that you can get the news directly from CENTCOM. There are many, many successes coming out of Iraq and Afghanistan that aren't deemed newsworthy by the mainstream media because those stories simply don't support the negative picture of our efforts in the Middle East that is being pushed 24x7 by Congress and the media.

Don't wait for the mainstream media to condescend to give this news to you; You can get all the news from CENTCOM directly. Their website has all the news that we're missing on the mainstream airwaves these days. It contains an archive of all of their press releases as well as video/audio clips and their weekly CENTCOM news podcast that is available for download. You can also sign up for a weekly newsletter if you're not much of a "pod person." (I don't listen to podcasts much but that doesn't mean I'm anti-pod; I just prefer to read, I guess.)

If you're pro-victory, like me, there is absolutely one thing we can do here on the homefront. We can keep ourselves well-informed; we can help inform other Americans who are simply not paying attention and are swallowing the media propaganda whole. If that's the least we can do, let's do it. CENTCOM has made it easy for us.

Let's not let the mainstream media and radical Leftists hijack this war and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. In an ironic twist of intent, I'd like to thank The Who for this appropriate sentiment: We won't get fooled again. Not again, not this time.

As the Blog Turns...

Gee. I have found myself fascinated by the soap opera unfolding in the comments section of this blog since last night. One little mention on a controversial Democrat's blog and it's High Noon on ConservaChick! (Yes, I'm laughing while I type this.) For those of you who have no idea what's happening in the ever-expanding comments section , join the club! Here's what I know about Mark Nickolas from bits and pieces I've read on his blog, and from a local news report: Nickolas likes to sneer at Republicans and call them snide little nicknames as he provides his "Unfiltered and Candid Look at Politics, Politicians and the Media in Kentucky;" he raised a ruckus within the Democrat party here in Kentucky by filing a suit against the chairman of the party , Jerry Lundergan; and he will be appearing on the same panel with yours truly on Thursday night. That's about it. You now have the benefit of my not-so-extensive knowledge on this subject. Nickolas poste...

Friday Night with Hugh and Friends

The consummate Conservative host, Hugh Hewitt, and yours truly! Shameless of me to post this, I know; however, I'm too jazzed to care. :-p What a wonderful way to spend a Friday night! After an hour or so wandering through some of the exhibits at the Frazier Historical Arms Museum, I then got to spend three hours with Hugh Hewitt and 599 other fans of his show. I absolutely MUST say that not only was Hugh wonderful and the live show very entertaining, but his fans are absolutely the nicest people! I've seen other radio talk show s done live and mingled with fans of those shows. Hugh Hewitt's fans are the nicest, most down to earth, friendly people I've ever met. It's quite a credit to Hugh that he draws such a fan base. If you haven't been to the Frazier Historical Arms Museum here in Louisville, it's a must-see. The museum shows an amazing artistry with the exhibits and places them in the context of the times in a very entertaining and educationa...

Is conscription the prescription?

US Representative, Charlie Rangel (D-NY) is at it again. Rangel's prescription for fixing the ills we're feeling in Iraq is a draft . I have very mixed feelings about this. Conscription is conscription no matter what you choose to label it. Is that appropriate in a free country? On the flip side of this coin, I've often thought that compulsory national service would be a great idea for American kids right out of high school. It might have been a better start for me than learning to down beer at a Liberal Arts university! Two years in the service might give kids time to think about their future, learn higher levels of responsibility, and begin to take life more seriously. There are many countries who require some level of mandatory military service: Belarus, Chile, China, Croatia, Serbia, Russia, Iran, Lebanon, our neighbor Mexico, and our old buddy Germany, to name a few. Gee, now that I look at that partial list... aren't many of those countries Socialist or at battl...
