I have nothing more to say today than a hearty “thank you” to all the veterans who have served this country so bravely and valiantly. There is no more a fitting tribute than Trace Adkins singing his hit song, ‘Till the Last Shot’s Fired‘ at an earlier Academy of Country Music Awards show.
And thank you to the West Point Glee Club who accompanied Trace on this song. If you don’t need a tissue while watching this video, you don’t have a soul. God bless our men and women who have served, and continue to provide us the freedoms we so often take for granted.
And a BIG thank you to Trace Adkins. Love you, man.
No commentary needed on this. Just watch and enjoy. More conservative candidates need to be this bold, this refreshing. Floridians, do what you have to do to get this American hero, Lt. Col. Allen West, into office.
I would vote for West, but I don’t live in Florida. Doesn’t mean I can’t send him some money, though, and I plan to do just that – he needs our support; wherever in America we are!
Continuing the discussion on the Civilian National Security Force Obama wants to build, guests former Army Staff Sgt. David Bellavia, author of “House to House” and an Iraq war vet, and Matt Spalding of the Heritage Foundation, were on to discuss and ponder the need of a civilian security force and just who they would be “fighting.” Bellavia has an interesting comparison (not equivalence) between a group loyal to the Iraqi State and not the country or the people, that Saddam’s Fedayeen were for his rule in Iraq. The parallels are striking, and only a military person who helped topple Saddam’s regime could understand it.
Why would Obama want a civilian force just as powerful and as well-funded as the U.S. Military to protect our “national security?” From enemies foreign or domestic? And who decides for this group (presumably AmeriCorps as the umbrella organization) who they’re going to fight to defend our national security?
More questions than answers, and we need more answers. STAND UP! Ask questions, and don’t give up until you get an answer.
As a final point of clarity, Glenn does get it wrong with AmeriCorps government funding of a $500B, but he does point out that he needs to check that and get the correct amount, as he does later in the show (not in this clip). It’s actually $5B, but before you say “wow, that’s a huge difference for Beck to screw up,” let me say two things:
1) Beck corrected himself; not because he was called on it, but because he wanted to be exact; and
2) Since when in hell did $5B become an inconsequential amount? Oh, yeah…ever since $1 trillion became so trivialized to the point we’re all numb to it.
He also indicated that if Pelosi wanted to find swastikas, she should first look at her own sleeve. HOOAH! This guy’s got his brass ones and I LOVE it! We need more like this heroic veteran. Not only to fight for us overseas, but also to show us the patriotic example of how we should ALL stand up and make our politicians accountable for what they say and do.
I’m going to let this video speak for itself. Michelle is on to promote her book, “Culture of Corruption.” I’d like to see Tanya Reiman read this panel’s body language. Joy is absolutely apoplectic, and Sherri struggles to speak intelligently.
