The Woes of Ranching on the Rio Grande...

This from a bewildered Texas rancher:

While riding down along the border this morning, I saw a Muslim extremist bobbing in the Rio Grande River- he was struggling to stay afloat because of all the guns and bombs he was carrying. 

Along with him was a Mexican who was also struggling to stay afloat because of the large backpack of drugs he has strapped to his back. 

It was clear to me that if they didn't get help soon, these men would surely drown.Being a responsible Texan and abiding by the law to help those in distress, I informed the El Paso County Sheriff's Office as well as the US Department of HomelandSecurity. 

Alas- it is now 4pm -both have drowned- and neither authority has even responded!

I'm starting to think I wasted two stamps....

Heroes, Victims, and Lessons of 9/11

September 11th, 2009 -today- marks 8 years since the attacks of World Trade Center I and II, The Pentagon, Shanksville PA, American Airlines Flights 11 and 77, and United Airlines Flight 93 and 175.

On that day 2,996 people were ripped from their lives. But as the media and society tend to do, they've focused more on the killers. We’ve all learned more about them than we wanted to. On that day many of us made a pledge to never forget what happened.

The bloggers involved with the honorable Project 2996 have offered to help keep that promise by learning about the 2996 people who died that day.

Carol at No Sheeples Here has dedicated the entire week to honoring just a few of the victims of this unfathomable tragedy. Her efforts to honor them are each a fascinating personal story in themselves, well-done and well-worth a trip over to No Sheeples...

Great job Carol. Shame the President doesn't have the good sense nor moral clarity to show them a little more respect- guess that wouldn't fit-in with his misguided foreign policy agenda.

These stories are very sad, but perhaps all the people out-there pretending 9/11 never happened should read up... then consider being a little more responsible and vigilant.

The current administration and their enablers are not doing the right kind of things to keep another 9/11 from occurring, period... and their dismissal of the War on Terror as some quaint irrelevancy from the Bush era is nothing short of insanity.

Smitty at The Other McCain offered-up a thoughful 2996 piece on a 9/11 victim he knew personally... USN Officer Robert Randolf Elseth.. read that -here-

Gateway Pundit aptly reminds us to Never Forget... in words and pictures -here-

As does Another Black Conservative... -here-

Bungalow Bill remembers how it was that fateful morning with Refelections of 9/11.

The Conservative Pup says NO to Barack Obama's shameful highjacking of 9/11... -here-

And conservative blogging ally down undah in Australia "MK" from Down Under on the Right Side offers us an honorable tribute with We Will Not Forget- the photos alone are worth a visit. Thanks MK, proud to have you on our side.

Please take the opportunity on this occasion

to say a prayer for the victims and their families.

-and-

God Bless the United States of America

Team Obama Knew of Lockerbie Bomber's Release for Months

As forseen by Gateway Pundit, Downing Street is confirming in the face of disingenuous "shock and disappointment" from the Obama Administration that they in-fact knew of the oil/prisoner-release deal with Libya right from the start- and there was no American objection to it when they had the chance at various stages throughout the process.

Obama's boundless hubris and warped self-image that had him thinking he could bus-chuck Gordon Brown and not be called on it. After Brown's schoolgirl-swooning in their joint British presser -even after Obama had treated him like a dog in DC- the Dear Leader apparently thought he owned him.

But as the Obama mojo completely evaporates, he's going to have to find a new M.O. that doesn't involve people being intimidated by The One's very presence- because few are at this point.



Many Americans, Brits, and others with moral clarity were rightfully outraged when the Libyans said the release of this mass-murderer was connected to future trade deals with the UK- but they really went ballistic when photos emerged of Libyans waving Scottish flags as they greeted Abdel Baset al-Megrahi upon his arrival to a hero's welcome from Col Gadaffi in Tripoli.

Taken aback by western public reaction, the habitually dishonest Obama Administration feigned outrage and surprise- maybe Pitt and Clooney should hook them up with some acting lessons, because these clowns didn't fool anybody.

Alas, since the Obama Administration has put such effort into not honoring the victims of the 9/11 attacks and other American heroes, maybe we should have expected them to acquiesce to the release of such terrorist scum... one directly responsible for the deaths of 169 Americans.

But lying about it -at the expense of our greatest ally, no less- then getting caught will only bring yet more political ruination to this bungling crew of diplomatic incompetents. Small wonder then that Obama's approval ratings are in a death-spiral.. and where's that goofy "reset" button when you really need it?

It's going to be hard to pass radical, unpopular legislation with approval numbers in the 30's-
