He (Obama) also promised to cut $800 billion from 10 years of war spending that will end in two years, which is like “cutting” $800 billion by deciding not to build a ski resort on Mars.

Quote du jour

The dirty little secret is that none of the bans or taxes or regulations are designed to reduce crime, since the only ones who abide by these laws and bans are otherwise lawful citizens. The courts have gone so far as to exempt criminals from gun laws and registration because it would violate their Fifth Amendment rights.

Maybe your problem is not with the Second Amendment so much as with the Fifth?

Medal of Honor

Major Bernard Francis Fisher

Citation:

For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. On that date, the special forces camp at A Shau was under attack by 2,000 North Vietnamese Army regulars. Hostile troops had positioned themselves between the airstrip and the camp. Other hostile troops had surrounded the camp and were continuously raking it with automatic weapons fire from the surrounding hills. The tops of the 1,500-foot hills were obscured by an 800 foot ceiling, limiting aircraft maneuverability and forcing pilots to operate within range of hostile gun positions, which often were able to fire down on the attacking aircraft. During the battle, Maj. Fisher observed a fellow airman crash land on the battle-torn airstrip. In the belief that the downed pilot was seriously injured and in imminent danger of capture, Maj. Fisher announced his intention to land on the airstrip to effect a rescue. Although aware of the extreme danger and likely failure of such an attempt, he elected to continue. Directing his own air cover, he landed his aircraft and taxied almost the full length of the runway, which was littered with battle debris and parts of an exploded aircraft. While effecting a successful rescue of the downed pilot, heavy ground fire was observed, with 19 bullets striking his aircraft. In the face of the withering ground fire, he applied power and gained enough speed to lift-off at the overrun of the airstrip. Maj. Fisher's profound concern for his fellow airman, and at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty are in the highest traditions of the U.S. Air Force and reflect great credit upon himself and the Armed Forces of his country

Major Fisher: We humbly salute you and thank you for your service.



Hat tip Home of Heroes

There are fewer than a hundred living MoH recipients today. Their names and their stories should not be forgotten. My mission is to honor one of those heroes here each week, and salute them for their courage and sacrifice. In the words of John Fitzgerald Kennedy:

“A nation reveals itself not only by the men it produces, but also by the men it honors; the men it remembers.”

Quote du jour

Well, this is the end of Year Four of the Obama revolution and we have another four more years to look forward to. So let us raise a large glass to a second term! After all, some disappointments are best absorbed drunk – a bitter consolation that the Mormon Mitt Romney will never share.

Gun Violence: US vs. the UK

Saw this over at This Ain't Hell. He makes some really good points about the sometimes misleading, sometimes blatantly dishonest crime and murder statistics being tossed about in today's gun violence debates.


Pretty remarkable numbers. Did you know that crime has been cut in half in the last twenty years? Me neither. One small quibble at the end. He cites three reasons for high crime in densely populated areas: poverty, jobs and education. But, without a change in the culture, inner city youths will not value education or embrace the so called "Protestant work ethic" even if jobs are available.

He is correct that this is not a problem with a 'one size fits all' solution.

Quote du jour

Abroad, the big story is a deadly 9/11 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. It soon becomes apparent that the attack either was or was not a spontaneous protest to a movie that either does or does not actually exist, or possibly it was an organized terrorist attack that either did or did not involve al-Qaeda and either could or could not have been prevented if there had been better intelligence, which maybe there was, or maybe there was not, although if there was, it was not acted on, possibly for political reasons. Or not. But beyond these basic facts, little is clear. The White House issues a strong statement assuring the nation that President Obama was not in any way involved in this, “or anything else that may or may not become known.”
