The Salute


No fanfare, and only one video that I've seen.  President Obama honored the fallen returning to Dover Air Force Base with a solemn salute.

I can't help but wonder what was going through his mind as those flag draped coffins passed before him.  Imagine standing in his shoes at that moment ... the darkness of the early morning, the weight of being Commander In Chief.

Harry Reid Grew Balls


Imagine that.  No matter what happens down the road, I consider this a victory.  While cartwheels aren't yet recommended, take a moment to feel proud.

No ugly signs.  No screaming (okay, some singing ...).  No guns.  Just guts.  And a hell of a lot of work by a hell of a lot of "little people".  Let's step it up from here, liberals - we've just begun to fight.
