Bill Clinton is poor choice for attack ad on Romney in Osama Bin Laden raid

 The new political ad which has Bill Clinton extolling the steely eyed determination of President Obama in ordering the Navy Seals to take out Osama Bin Laden, relies heavily on collective amnesia by the American public.

As facts have shown, Bill Clinton's refusal to acknowledge there was a war against us by Al Quaeda, lead to the eventual attack on American soil by Jihadists  under the command of Osama Bin Laden on 911.

Administration says war on terror is over? Signs say no


I'm confused.  A few days ago a senior State Department official said "the war on terror is over." “Now that we have killed most of Al Qaeda, now that people have come to see legitimate means of expression, people who once might have gone into Al Qaeda see an opportunity for a legitimate Islamism.”

Trayvon Martin shooting was not an act of racism, but a community trying to defend itself

The sensationalism against George Zimmerman for the shooting of Trayvon Martin, clouds the real reason this tragedy occurred in the first place.

The pundits, the community organizers, the pot stirrers,  are all trying to find a scapegoat and the convenient one to blame is George Zimmerman.  George Zimmerman  is but the symptom of a government failing in its prime function:  To provide protection and security for its citizens. If government does not provide protection for its citizens, then the citizens will provide it for themselves...and what the citizens provide will not be as professional and polished as a trained police force.

Government's "war on coal" is a war of regulations against America's way of life

The new EPA rulings will finally bring to fruition President Obama's promise his policies will necessarily bankrupt the coal industry.

Four years ago, then-candidate Barack Obama explained his anti-coal energy policy in an editorial board meeting with the San Francisco Chronicle: "Under my plan of a cap-and-trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket. Even regardless of what I say about whether coal is good or bad."  "So if somebody wants to build a coal plant, they can - it's just that it will bankrupt them."

Did the Government meddling turn Chevy Volts into Chariots of Fire?

Last month it was announced that General Motors was going to suspend production of their all electric car known as the Chevy Volt, due to disappointing sales.

Sales for this car have been slow in spite of massive government subsidies and getting the spotlight of every green organization you can think of.  It seems no amount of taxpayer money is going to entice a buyer, so the cars sit in showrooms and inventories, unsold.

The Volt was the recipient of such "green awards" as: 2009 Green Car Vision Award-2011 Green Car of the Year-2011 North American Car of the Year-2011 World Green Car-2012 European Green Car of the Year.  All very prestigious honors to have for a new model of car.

School backs down and puts God back in "God Bless the USA"

Massachusetts parents were outraged when they learned school officials changed lyrics to "We love the USA" instead of "God Bless the USA" during the chorus of the popular Lee Greenwood song. The song was to be performed at a concert at the Stall Brook Elementary school in Boston.

According to MY Fox News in Boston: Following outrage from parents; a changed version of "God Bless the USA" has been pulled from an upcoming school assembly concert.... In fact the whole song will now not be included in the concert. In a statement, school officials said "they hope to maintain the focus on the original objective of sharing students' knowledge of the U.S. States, and because of logistics, will not include any songs."

Would President Mitt Romney give Russia space?


The hot mic incident that caught President Obama asking Russian President Medvedev for space, has many in the American space industry saying the same thing. They want space back from the Russians and feel President Obama has ceded that frontier to them.  The Russians brag, saying they own space and can arbitrarily charge us whatever they want to bring our Astronauts to the Space Station.  The Russians are correct, America has no manned space flight program and it seems, there is not one on the horizon under the Obama administration..

60 Minutes News hour did a special  report on Florida's "space coast" where there have been massive layoffs in the NASA space industry. The name of the piece was called "Hard landing",  it focused on Brevard County, the heart of space exploration that  has been devastated by cutbacks to manned space flight.  Highly skilled technicians, specializing in space flight are no longer employed and wonder what the future holds for them under the Obama administration.

Ironically in 2008, Brevard County was visited by then candidate Obama who criticized President Bush for cutbacks in the space program. He promised them that if he were elected president he would protect the space industry. In a speech to those space workers he promised:
