For the first time in my life I am ashamed to to admit I am a american.when things get so bad that america gets a president that we have now..some thing is wrong...very wrong..

Do you have any information on what kind of troops President Obama is sending to A-stan? I know the number is half the requested number, and they are being delayed well past the point of reducing their effectiveness. But are they combat troops or support troops?

Bob

The talking heads (both media and politicians) who say that we cannot have an open ended commitment to the war in Afghanistan (and Iraq) and by inference to the war on terrorism (obsolete though they consider that term}.

The Islamofascists DO have an open ended, no matter what the cost to destroying US, as well as funding from regimes who see some benefit in supporting them, or (as with our government) mistakenly believe that funds given to the "political" arm of a group never wind up in the terrorist funding "purse".

And until we realize this we cannot even hope for a wining strategy.

"...including nearly all Republican lawmakers, none of whom have rejected their own generous government health care plans." Obviously Helen Thomas is too addled of mind to remember that one Republican Congressman has introduced legislation numerous times to force Congress to participate in any health care program they pass. It has had 30+ Republican co-sponsors, and not one Democrat! They will not even let it come to the floor for debate. Helen should be put out to pasture as insignificant and irrelevant.

What does Patriot Post have to say about scheduling his speech and telecast at West Point? Is this another indoctinization attempt for B.O.'s private Socialist Army?

Mike Dillard

OKC, OK.

We can't win this War by simply defeating some of the Taliban and Terrorist in Afghanistan.

For the past 8 years or more the Islamic Jihad movement has been adding new "Cells" around the World, but especially so in Europe, and the USA.

They have been highly successful with forming these cells, and Islamic organizations,to form Terrorist and Political groups of supporters for Islam and the Jihad.

So far, the Leaders of our Free Nations have disreguarded this enormous threat, and not re-evaluated their immigration and National Security policies to handle internal terrorism and Civil disobedience. (Ft Hood is just the beginning)

We must act now, and swiftly to divert future acts on our own soil. Question is. Do we have the National leadership that will make that move quickly???????

May I recommend that the Patriot Post submit a FOI request for Gen. MacChrystal's report. That it is classified at all is silliness, that it is set at Top Secret is even more risible.

Bob

Your piece on Patrick Kennedy lists him D-UI. Of course, he is from Rhode Island so it should be D-RI. Or are you punning??

President Obama commented during his remarks at West Point on December 1, 2009, that the war(s) in the middle-east have cost the United States nearly a trillion dollars since 9/11. I'd like him to break that down; how much would it have cost us just to maintain our armed forces for that same period, not counting OEF/OIF? Let's be 'transparent' with the taxpayers - live by the promised policies. Clearly, numbers can be 'managed' to meet political goals and objectives.

The only reason behind Obama's decision to

send more troops to Afganistan was out of

embarassment for the Fort Hood, Texas massacre!

O'Bama's promise to curtail this war within 18 months is only the preparatory stage for realigning the tax payers money to go towards his countless schemes. The financial downfall and pointless direction he is assigning to the troops will please our countries adversaries. The declawing and neutering of the United States is the one objective of our enemies & current administration. Obviously people out there didn't learn how we economically brought Communism down and fought it through counter-insurgency in Afghanistan and further abroad. Economics and a war of attrition...

America must as a whole remain stronger than this and not remain complacent.

Someone forgot to count how many times Obama use "I" in his speech to the nation.

Let's identify "them" for what they are: Government Absolutists the opposite end of this spectrum would be Individual Absolutists. We are at war with Theo-Absolutists.

I, for one, will never claim to be ashamed to be an AMERICAN! I am CONSTANTLY CONCERNED, that those who do, are in fact showing a weakness to the very ones that are "out to get us". This column is accessible to the whole world, and the last thing we need to do, is give them a MICRO inch advantage! STAND UP,,BE PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!! If we don't approve the way our elected people are conducting business,,,then vote them out next election!

President Obama by his fruits (Matthew chapter 7, Verses 15 through 20) is known to be inwardly a ravening wolf (verse 15). His agenda appears to be antiChrist (1st John 4 verse 3,and 1st Corinthians 12:3) as well as being pro Islamic and thus a hater of his (human) brother (1st John 3 verses 11 through 15) thereby guilty by "CHOICE" of association. So too are those politicians Who condone His agenda, instead of initiating impeachment proceedings against Him for haveing already broken His vow to uphold THE Constitution of the united states. I Challenge Him to Boldly and publicly proclaim, First John 3 and verse 15. Preceded by the phrase "IT IS WRITTEN" (see Matthew 4:1 through 11. "LOUD & OFTEN"

I tuned into the President's speach last night, just to give him one more chance to get it right. I had hoped I would be pleased, but alas, he told us all where his allegiance lies! Was it just me, or did some other folks pick up on the fact that he was defending Muslims yet again? When the peace loving muslim religion (if there are any) stands up and denounces the Jihad radical muslims, I will rethink my stance. Call me a racist or whatever you want but this country was founded on Christian beliefs, and if our current President can't get his arms around that, it is going to be a long 4 years!

Michael Moore is a wise, relevant, discerning and intellectual champion of the people.... the people in Hollywood, any terrorist regime and .....I'm just guessing here... Chris Matthews.

America is such a great nation...where else can you laugh a such village idiots as Micheal Moore, Howard Dean, the Nancy, Harry & BHO Comedy Show and get away with it. Oh wait, I'm being a racist enemy now, aren't I?

Thanks for a great job...but...you must stop mentioning the names of the show biz boobs like Rosie O'Donnel and Jeanine Garafalo (spelling?)

You do them a favor every time you mention their name.

And enough about Chris Mathews. I know no one who doesn't think he's a complete fraud! And Michael Moore is a physical and mental glutton-no self control, so who cares what he says or thinks. More commentary by Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams would be welcome and, maybe, more productive.

Thanks for being (not such) a still small voice in the wilderness providing a reputable source of factual news and commentary. With the negative trend of all things social, national, and international it can be grim work perusing the Post, but the silver lining is reviewing the readers' comments to find the don't-give-up-the-ship spirit is alive and well.

In "The Chosen Ones' speach last night he used the word "I" forty three times. And he used the words "win" and "triumph" and "defeat" exactly zero times. Just the kind of leader in war time our troops need. (NOT)

The "surge" will indeed serve many of "MoaBama's" purposes:

1. Having 30,000 voters (probably the majority being politically right) out of the country during the 2010 elections will provide various devious opportunities for "problems" with counting votes. Troops can vote absentee, but how sure can we be that these votes will truly be counted, or not get "lost" somewhere. And what an opportune time for the insurgents to heat things up, right when troops might have otherwise voted? Further, when deployed, some spouses leave home base to visit family for extended periods of time, where voting absentee is a little more complicated -- perhaps not pursued at all.

2. Sending these troops into a meat-grinder with pussified rules of engagement guarentees loss of troops. And to a president who hates the (right leaning) military, that is a good thing.

3. The $1B/day cost (that I've read) to run the war, adds to the further bleeding of America's financial footing -- again, a "good thing" if your marxist goal is to "Bring it all down man!"

4. Some war suppliers certainly will benefit lucritively, which is a good thing to those with their hand in the Liberal Congress's pockets.

WHAT IF the North Pole ice caps melt and cool the Gulf Stream just a couple of degrees? The Eastern US and all of Western and (former) Eastern Europe and England would experience winters like those of the 1940s when opposing armies froze in place. During the Battle for Bastogne, temperatures fell to -60 F. Engines were left running for fear their motor oil would freeze. Even then, engines seized up. Solders had to urinate on their M-1s to dissolve ice from the actions. Soldiers used grenades to dig fox holes in the frozen ground. Back home, in America, the 1940s was a mini-Ice Age. I know. I was there. I say again, WHAT IF...? By the way, Antarctic (South Pole) ice is growing and spreading rapidly. It is the height of arrogance to presume that Congress can legislate against climate "change." (Wasn't it recently called "global warming" by those eager for world government?) Back in the 1970s, weren't we being warned in shrill, desperate tones about the catastrophe that global cooling was going to cause? Anyone with the sense of a chicken can see what Obama and his Inner Circle have in mind. They absolutely despise this nation that much.

The Mantra of West Point is "Duty, Honor, Country." Obama has no business even visiting that Academy. Let him use the Oval Office for his speeches.

Want a sure fire way to end the war? Use the "Stogner Option". Buy all the swine feces and urine from all the hog farmers in the good old USA. (they would love to rid themselves of the stinky mess in their sewage lagoons). Have tanker planes haul this soupy "bomb" over to Afganistan, drop it on the mountian passes and routes that the Taliban uses to bring men and weapons into the war theater. Drop leaflets on all villages informing them that they will be bombed with swine feces/urin slop if they harbor any insergent. The good Muslums will do the killing of the insergents for us. Low cost, effective and humane. A true win-win situation. Obviously too sane a way to end the war and the war profiteering for the &*#!+^ hair brained liberals. Bet the hog farmers would support this idea. God Bless the USA and our brave warriors.

PS: Too damned bad Barry B. H. Obama's mother didn't believe in abortion.

So BO is going to send more troops to Afghanistan. Will they be actually be allowed to turn the bad guys into pink smoke or will they be prosecuted if any are harmed during their extradition to a NYC courtroom?

Michael Moore is an idiot. His liberal socialist beliefs continue to amaze me. If he does not like our capitalist system maybe he should give all the money he has made through it to the needy and helpless poor he claims to feel sorry for. I would like to see how he handles being charitable with his own money instead of ours.

Tell economist Thomas Sowell that Number Three on the list of goals of those in Congress is to increase their net worth.

For the sake of all that is sacred to the United States; we can never 'win' or derive a 'victory' of

any kind in a corrupt and ungrateful country like

Afghanistan. It simply boggles my mind that the

40 countries of coalition forces and their respective governments continue to deny or avoid the

evidence of history. Just ask Ghengis Khan,

the British or most recently, the Russians.

They were all eventually driven out. The Taliban

are descended from these generations of fighters.

The Taliban has time and terrain on their side and

given their 'religious' ideologies, they will never

cease in their efforts to disrupt, frustrate and

force the invader out. The corruption of this nation

is so rampant, that it will forever undermine any 'sincere' attempt on our part to introduce democracy to a tribal based political system. In the meantime, the Treasury of the United States is being drained and young soldiers are injured or return home in flag draped coffins. Where, I ask you, is the sense or justification in this madness?

$6 billion a month wasted in Afghanistan.

$12 billion a month in Iraq per month, and now

American taxpayers are supposed to support a

$30 billion troop surge? This is Viet Nam all over

again. We shall lose, fail and depart with ignominy.

Thanks for uncovering the Global Warming Hoax. I have

been trying to expose this for 7 years. Even before Gore's convienent Lie, the Coast Guard discovered the cause of Arctic ice melting was the undersea volcanoes back in 2001 or 2002. The story of this was on their WEB site until the last election. I notice that it had disappeared when one of my friends asked for the address and I could not find it after the election. Very strange.

I take an exception to the comment after Patrick Kennedy's 'credits' "less than friendly fire about his own church"... First, a "Kennedy catholic" is NOT Catholic in any sense of the Church. So to say "his own" church is pure misstatement! Secondly, health insurance does NOT save lives and has NOTHING to do with saving lives so how do these politicians continue to pull this sham?! THe providers of the health services provide the life-saving work...and if anyone does not know history and the facts, it happens that the Catholic CHurch provides MORE health services around the world -including IN the USA - than any other providers ; THird, the greatest social justice abomination in this world - & promoted by the USA & The Kennedys and their ilk- is the murder of children in the womb, what they want to defer as an 'abortion' or a worse excuse by wordsmiths="choice". God save us!!

First it was 20 million uninsured, then it was thirty million, now it is 40 million. I guess so, all of the people who lost their jobs have also lost their health care. What I don't understand, is why do 260 million people have to suffer with a government run health system(they can't even run Social Security, the Post Office, or Medicare right). I guess I was stupidly under the impression that Medicaid was supposed to help those who could not afford insurance themselves.

"The United States is the only country in the developed world that does not provide affordable health care for all its citizens." --Hearst White House correspondent Helen Thomas

Oh, get real! Many Canadians come to the United States because "affordable" health care is not available to them when they need it. Is Helen Thomas saying Canada is not part of the "developed world"?

Subject: Health Care, Government Intervention in:

Please tell me who said, "There is no situation so fouled up that government cannot make it worse."

Chris Matthews may go straight to hell for his remarks about our beloved soldiers and cadets being called "the enemy camp". He's not worthy of licking their boots.

Why are we not demanding impeachment of a President who refuses to uphold his oath of office, "to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States" and its people? Any man who stands in front of our troops and dares to say he isn't interested in victory but in "getting it right", who refuses to mention the word "win" or "victory" when sending our brave ones into battle, does not deserve one more day in office, much less three more years.

I have never in my life been so angry as I am when I think of the scams, criminal activities, corruption and blatant abuse of power and law that this government and its justice department has pushed on our great nation!

Greetings:

You seem to have fallen in with some ba-a-a-a-d company - to wit: All those "third party advertisers" you share our email addresses with...

I've received many requests to "sign a petition" calling for one thing or another - most, if not all, that I agree with. Unfortunately, these third parties require you to provide all sorts of information. One of which is a funding source.

In other words, they REQUIRE you to make a donation to sign a petition. I can't do this since I am out of work - and have been for the past 13 months. I'd like to make a donation but cannot. I CAN, however, support "the cause" just not monetarily.

Can you get your "third party advertisers" to remove the requirement for a "donation"?

Thanks!

Gregory Hicks

Bill Clinton is a Rhodes Scholar? Yeah, right.

Looks like the Russians were behind the climate email hack - way to choose sides.

There is good news out of Richmond VA concerning Colonel Van T. Barfoot's effort to fly his American Flag. The Colonel's Home Owners Association has backed off from their demand that Colonel Barfoot remove his flagpole, and have dropped a threat of legal action.

While our local politicians got involved, I believe some readers of the Patriot Post were among those who sent in the hundreds of emails the local paper received, and were probably among the reported 28,000+ "hits" on the Colonel's facebook page.

The Patriots in Central Virginia are grateful for the Patriot Post's efforts in this matter....and to its readers.

Why would anyone spend $1.7 million dollars to keep folks from seeing their birth certificate?

The U.S. Justice Foundation reports that Barack Hussein Obama has "spent a reported $1.7 million in attorney fees to fight efforts to obtain his actual birth certificate." Why would anyone with nothing to hide, spend even $100 to keep their birth certificate from being made public? Why would the President, who promised the most transparent administration in history, decline to release a document that everyone must produce just to get a passport? Who's making a mountain out of a mole hill: right wing fanatics, or the man spending $1.7 million to keep secret the one document that would silence his critics forever?

On the subject of Michael Moore, has this man ever served in the military, yeah as I served in the girl scouts, Michael Moore keep your trap shut in regrds to anything military or miltary related! You have NOTHING to say and I am NOT listening! When you spend 61/2 months at sea for idiots like you, then come talk w/me! Otherewise go take a baby aspirin for your problems!!!

Please don't let this issue of BHO showing his birth certificate and why he hasn't shown it! I'll tell you why, because he has something to hide and he isn't a legal president! He was in "FACT" born in Coast General Hospital in Mombasa Kenya, His mother was NOT able to fly to hawaii, until several months after his birth, she was to far along to be able to fly. The airlines will NOT allow any P.G. woman to fly after so many months of preganncy. So do the mathand the facts, BHO IS an illegally elected president!!!
