“You Know The Thing About Heroes? They Don’t Brag…”


Thus spake Senator John McCain about the ones who were actually responsible for taking out bin Laden, the people alongside whom he had the privilege of serving.

Senator McCain was referencing the new Obama ad about this anniversary, one which also features President Bill Clinton. In the ad, Obama basically takes a victory lap, pulls his shoulder out patting himself on the back so much, and essentially calls Gov. Mitt Romney a coward. Wow.

Here is Senator McCain on the new Obama Campaign ad:

Confirmed: Pelosi Lied About CIA Briefing on Waterboarding

To recap: Roughly one year after 9/11, Nancy Pelosi and other select members of Congress were told in great detail about a program of EITs that US interrogators were employing to wring actionable intelligence out of captured terrorists.  No one objected.  Years later, when Democrats were indignantly denouncing “torture” as an inexpiable sin of Bush and the Republicans, Pelosi disavowed any knowledge of the meeting she had attended.  She deliberately lied about a sensitive national security question in order to score the cheapest of political points, tossing the American intelligence community under the bus in the process.  This is absolutely shameful.  House Democrats’ code of Congressional conductfeatures the following passage, describing the grounds on which a member may be censured:which is, therefore, worthy of condemnation or rebuke.

Navy SEALs to Obama: Stop Using Us to Get Re-Elected

http://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2012/05/01/navy_seals_to_obama_stop_using_us_to_get_reelected

A serving SEAL Team member said: ‘Obama wasn’t in the field, at risk, carrying a gun. As president, at every turn he should be thanking the guys who put their lives on the line to do this. He does so in his official speeches because he speechwriters are smart.
‘But the more he tries to take the credit for it, the more the ground operators are saying, “Come on, man!” It really didn’t matter who was president. At the end of the day, they were going to go.’

Triple Play! Obama Blows Off Congress, Funds Palestinians, Lies About PA Stance on Israel

Friday night news dump: President Obama has decided to provide $192 million to the Palestinian Authority despite Congress’s freeze on PA funding after its president, Mahmoud Abbas, attempted to declare statehood unilaterally last September, in violation of the PA’s treaty commitments.

Obama’s “waiver” of the restrictions on Congress’s Palestinian Accountability Act was first reported in the foreign press (AFP), which is where Americans generally need to go to get news about what the U.S. administration is up to. A report from the Times of Israel is here. [Hat tip, Creeping Sharia.] The New York Times, evidently too busy reporting on how much Israel sucks, did not find this story fit to print.

Who Is ‘Racist’? Pt. II

Thomas Sowell  —  April 27, 2012

Black civil rights attorneys and activists who denounce whites for objecting to the bussing of kids from the ghetto into their neighborhood schools have not hesitated to send their own children to private schools, instead of subjecting them to this kind of “diversity” in the public schools.

As for whites, author Harry Stein says that many white liberals “give blacks a pass on behaviors and attitudes they would regard as unacceptable and even abhorrent in their own kind.” This, of course, is no favor to those particular blacks — especially those among young ghetto blacks whose counterproductive behavior puts them on a path that leads nowhere but to welfare, at best, and behind bars or death in gangland street warfare at worst.
