When a Posttraumatic Flashback Turns into a Real Life Nightmare
Chris Kyle by all accounts was an amazing hero - a Navy
Seal who passed his BUD/S training and went on to serve in Iraq distinguishing
himself as one of our military’s most lethal snipers, a role in which he often
protected his team mates. According to news accounts, when Chris decided to
return home from the demanding tempo of his job he struggled briefly with all
he’d been through but perhaps true to his Seal can-do spirit he overcame his
re-entry stress and followed through on his strong desire to bond again with
his wife and build his family strong. And like many Navy Seals, he continued
giving back to society long after his commission was over. After getting his
own affairs in order, he began volunteering his time to work with other
veterans who were struggling, but not finding the same resilience he had. Eddie
Ray Routh, Kyle's killer and a Marine veteran suffering from post-traumatic stress
disorder, also served his country as a Marine but by preliminary
press accounts evidently came home as a wounded warrior - not finding the peace
in his soul that he needed to rebuild his life. [more...]

Why Israel Was
Justified in Attacking Syria
By
Joseph
Klein
Last
August, Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah threatened Israel with the
use of precision rockets in Hezbollah's possession which, Nasrallah warned,
could turn the lives of "hundreds of thousands of Zionists to real hell,
and we can talk about tens of thousands of dead." Yet the international
community has not lifted a finger to enforce the terms of the Security Council
resolutions requiring the disarming of Hezbollah, not to mention the embargo on
further arms shipments to Hezbollah. With Syria in a virtual death spiral and
more sophisticated arms on their way to Hezbollah in Lebanon, Israel saw little
choice but to enforce the Security Council resolutions itself for the sake of
protecting its own civilian population. [more...]
The Devil is in the Details - Buyer’s Remorse over Obamacare, Except for
SEIU?
By
Dave Bego
It appears many of the Big Labor bosses are beginning to
have buyer’s remorse. Based on reactions to the cost of regulations being
exposed as Obamacare becomes a reality, many of the unions are demanding
government subsidies to remain competitive at a time when membership is at a
historical low. Only 11.3% of the total workforce and 6.3% of the private
sector workforce are unionized! Apparently most Big Labor bosses forgot the
basic fundamental premise - "Caveat Empetor" - meaning let the buyer
beware – when supporting the President’s re-election campaign and backing his
signature law, Obamacare. Evidently those astute business people bought in to
Nancy Pelosi’s famous quote "We must pass the bill so we can find out
what’s in it." Well, that is true for most Big Labor bosses, except for
those at the SEIU. [more...]
GOP More Dangerous
Than Democrats
By
Doug
Johnson
The
establishment GOP is trying to destroy true conservatives and Karl Rove is
leading the way. They will drive the final nail into the GOP's coffin if
they're allowed to get away with it. Do we never learn our lessons? It seems
not. The establishment GOP architect of failure, Karl Rove, has decided to
attack the true conservatives of the Tea Party. He can't accept that his
horrendous failures in the last election should send him a message that his
ideas aren't what Americans want. Instead, he has decided that he will pretend
to be a conservative and force feed his ideas down our throats while trying to
destroy true conservatives in the process. He thinks that will create a winning
future for the GOP. His kind of Republicans are more dangerous than the
Democrats because all they do is divide America and produce losing elections
for the Right. [more...]
What Does the Hagel
Nomination Tell us About Obama's Second Term?
What
does the Chuck Hagel confirmation spectacle tell us about the President’s
agenda vis-a-vis Iran? And what does it tell us about the Senate and the way
they conducted Thursday’s confirmation hearing? Is our economy slowing down? If
so, what will it do to President Obama’s second-term agenda? Will the
bipartisan agreement on immigration pass the House?
Three-Year-Olds Chant
'Union Power' After Reading New Children's Book
By
Kyle Olson
Is
your three-year-old preschooler chanting ‘union power’ these days? He/she
might, if author Innosanto Nagara has his way. Nagara wrote “A is for
Activist,” a book supposedly geared for the children of the “99 percent.” In
other words, a new vehicle has been developed for leftists to begin
indoctrinating children. “It’s pretty awesome to hear a three-year-old saying
‘union power,’” Nagara said in a YES! magazine interview. But union power and
student activism aren’t the only goals. [more...]
