comMITTed to Romney!

Take a few minutes to watch this YouTube video that shows President Reagan’s response to Col. Gaddafi’s state sponsored terrorism.

This action by Marine and Naval forces happened in 1986 and was the beginning of the end of Gaddafi’s international adventures.

From what I know of the current Somali pirate hostage situation, the feckless Obama administration’s display of weakness has only emboldened the pirates and now they have demanded “safe passage” and a $2 million ransom. Other hijacked ships, with their captive crews, are now heading for the area where the hostage situation is unfolding and what was a contained crisis is now escalating exponentially because we have a poorly advised, rank amateur as Commander-in-chief.

Our prayers on this Good Friday are with the Captain, his family, the military personnel on the scene and with the other hostages held captive by these pirates.

Here’s wishing all of our service personnel a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. Thank you for your selfless service to your country. Thanks also to your families who support your service by their prayers and unheralded sacrifices. Godspeed to all of you and may you return home safe and sound!

“Duty, Honor, Country” — those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be. They are your rallying point to build courage when courage seems to fail, to regain faith when there seems to be little cause for faith, to create hope when hope becomes forlorn.

Hat Tip to Will Martin for sending me the heads up on the availability of this video of Gov. Romney’s speech at the Maine Republican Convention.

The story about the flag that flew above one of the Twin Towers at the World Trade Center on 9/11 is becoming famous in conservative circles.

Good to hear Gov. Romney delivering a speech with his characteristic insight.

Issues / Keeping Americans Safe

Mitt Romney has said that Bill Clinton was wrong in dismantling the military. What do you think?

Reasons to agree:

1. Clinton decreased military personnel by 500,000.
2. Clinton decreased military spending by about $50 billion a year.
3. Under Clinton the U.S. Army lost four active divisions.
4. Under Clinton the U.S. Army lost two reserve divisions.
5. Under Clinton the U.S. Navy lost almost 80 ships.
6. Under Clinton the U.S. Air Force saw its active personnel decrease by 30 percent.
7. Under Clinton the Marines’ personnel dropped by 22,000.
8. We need more troops than we have in order to win a war in Iraq and Afghanistan. That is about the size of Military that we should have. Weather Bush 1, Clinton, or Bush 2 were right or wrong in their actions in Iraq, we need to have the capacity to win the war that Bush 2 tried to fight. It was wrong for the Clinton administration to dismantle the military.

Send me an E-mail for me to add your reasons to agree or disagree.

1. Making it look like Bill Clinton was a bad president, so that independents won’t vote for democrats in the future.
