This is a direct quote from tonight’s NH debate, when asked about his anti-semitic, racist newsletters in the past:
“One of my heroes is Martin Luther King because he practiced the Libertarian principle of peaceful resistance and peaceful civil disobedience, as did Rosa Parks did. But also I’m the only one up here, and the only one in the Democratic party, that understands true racism in this country that’s in the judicial system, and it has to do with enforcing the drug laws.”
One of this country’s best heroes, U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, appeared on Bill O’Reilly tonight not only to promote his new book, “American Sniper,” but to tell the tale of his experiences in the Middle East as the most sucessful American sniper, as well as his convictions of his accomplishments. He not only performed so well to save the lives of his fellow military men & women, but also the innocent Iraqi men, women and children, against what he calls (as well as most others do) “savages;” savages who would rape, murder, and torture their fellow countrymen and women in the name of their “god.”
I think Bill O was a bit out of line in his questioning of Kyle, pressing him on his conviction that what he had done was the right thing. In the end, however, Kyle acquitted himself quite well for this interview.
You don’t agree with Kyle? Sucks to be you, but he did what his country asked him to do, and I think he did an out-freaking-STANDING job as a SEAL. America is a safer country because of men like him.
By the way…I wish there was video of Kyle knocking out Jesse (the freak) Ventura in that SEAL bar. That would have been a SWEET deal. Jesse Ventura is a worthless P.O.S. and I’m glad he met Kyle on that particular day.
This is the quality of character that this country is sorely missing in our Commander in Chief. Remember when George Bush, regardless of how bad things were, he would always remind us of how great America is, how exceptional Americans really are, and how we would always muddle through no matter what? I do…and I miss that.
Now I’m not saying I need to have mmy hand held by my president, but I am saying that what the president says and re-iterates over and over sets the overall tone for the country as a hole. How much longer do you want to hear our president call us lazy, cowardly, arrogant, and so many other things, like Barack Obama has done all throughout his first 3 years as president? I’m sick of it, and I’m ready for a new day, a new president, and a revival of the American spirit so we are motivated to rediscover that entrepreneurial, unbreakable, enigmatic sense of what it means to BE an American!
If Rick Perry doesn’t win the nomination, I believe he would be a fantastic V.P. candidate for whomever is chosen to be the nominee. Make no mistake, I’m not giving up on him for the nomination, but I’m just saying he is a breath of fresh air and this country needs him. America is calling…not just for someone like Rick Perry, but for folks like you and me to do the necessary things to make sure we get REAL change in 2012.
I, like Rick Perry, am sick of these anonymous-sourced stories about who said what, what staffer did what, etc. Perry finally tossed the ball back in Politico’s court, asking “… you got a name?”
GOOD ON ya, Rick! Don’t fall for it. Politico is not an un-biased organization. They are out to destroy all Republican candidates so they can continue carryin the water for the Obama campaign in 2012.
Today on ABC’s This Week, Christiane Amanpour, hosted a “Great American Debate” about the size and scope of government. Panelists included Rep. Paul Ryan, George Will, Rep. Barney Frank, and Robert Reich.
You simply must watch this entire thing… it’s absolute brilliance from George Will and Paul Ryan, and well…. just lefty talking points from Barney Frank and Robert Reich.
I wonder what it would take to get Paul Ryan to reconsider running for President this time? It’s worth a shot, don’t you think?
