The Loudest Cricket

Thomas Sowell wonders:
How much does our own administration in Washington care about the American people and their national security?
And later in the article:
A recent editorial in Investor’s Business Daily pointed out that hundreds of captured illegal aliens from terrorist-sponsoring nations were released on their own recognizance within the United States. Are these the actions of [...]

The US Iran policy has been a failure since Carter.  None of the administrations since then have done enough to reign in the mad Mullahs in Tehran.  Granted, Reagan had a bigger enemy in the USSR, but Clinton and both Bushes only threw words at Iran.  Obama hasn’t done much better.  And now Iran is [...]

What year is this?  1984?  Is this the only way Obama can get a foreign policy win?  By signing a treaty with the loser of the Cold War?  Russian nukes don’t scare me, as if Putin can be trusted in the first place.  Iranian nukes scare me.

It took almost a year, but Obama has finally shown some sense of leadership by taking responsibility for the horrid state of our security and intelligence communities that almost resulted in a bombing of an airplane on Christmas.  Why he didn’t make this speech after the Ft. Hood massacre, I don’t know.  Perhaps he doesn’t [...]

We are in a war against Islamic extremists, but many in the US, and most of the rest of the world, refuses to believe it.  Obama’s move to fight the war on terror through law enforcement is an epically bad idea and is reminiscent of the Carter and Clinton administrations.  We were lucky and have [...]

Did the system work?  On Sunday, DHS secretary Janet Napolitano thought so, but later said her comments were taken out of context:
On Sunday, Napolitano said, “One thing I’d like to point out is that the system worked.” Today, she said she was referring to the system of notifying other flights as well as law enforcement [...]

Probably the worst speech Obama has delivered, both in delivery and in content.  He didn’t seem all that enthused and he stumbled quite a bit.  His game picked up near the end of the speech when he waited painfully long for applause at a couple of points.  By setting a timetable, Obama has told the [...]

Is it just me or does anyone else find this inconsistent.  We have to pass sweeping health care reform NOW without reading the bill and without debate or we’re all going to DIE!!!  Versus the lack of action by the President with respect to the war in Afghanistan.  Americans are dying in Afghanistan, Mr. President, [...]

He’s a Muslim terrorist whose behavior, thanks to our PC culture, was ignored by the Army because they didn’t want to offend anyone and who wasn’t stopped by the MPs because, thanks to our anti-gun culture, they didn’t have any ammo.  Hasan may have pulled the trigger, but he was enabled by liberal policies.  It [...]

One of the many complaints I had about Bush’s handling of the war on terror involved his approach to Iran, which was to mostly ignore the Islamic Republic.  The Freep thinks Obama should support the moderates in Iran in order to replace the mullah-led autocracy with a more liberal democracy.  Moderates are the ones that [...]
