Lead Stories, NewsOnly ‘proof’ of Bin Laden death to be worn on T-Shirts?
By Judi McLeod Full Story
In the end the only picture we will likely ever see as “proof” of a dead Osama bin Laden will be the one on “Obama Killed Osama” T-shirts. Call it the epitaph of the trendy junk society in which we’re now living. The advent of the Junk Society was all but inevitable once politicians of the day were able to successfully junk the truth.
Killing the Bin Laden Within
By Daniel Greenfield Full Story
A group of Navy SEALS may have stormed a Pakistani garrison town and taken off the top of Bin Laden’s head, but he still lives on in the heads of the political establishment. The big Bin Laden has gone to feed the sharks, but it is the little Bin Laden who dictated that he receive a Muslim burial, forbade the release of the death photos and warned off the town of Virginia Beach from celebrating their hometown heroes.It was never the big Bin Laden that the West was afraid of, but the little one. A small turbaned figure that sits in the heads of the establishment and drives its officials and legislators to wonder if they have somehow upset the Muslims this day.
The big Bin Laden could never have imprisoned an American in his own country for even thinking about protesting a mosque. Not with any amount of death or carnage. The big Bin Laden could never have gotten newspapers to refuse to print the Mohammed cartoons. He could kill us, but he could never make us censor ourselves.
Obama Deserves Little to No Credit
By Jerry McConnell Full Story First let me offer my heartiest congratulations and kudos to our northern neighbors on the almost total obliteration of the liberals in their political offices. May we here in the United States be as fortunate in November, 2012.
I’m sorry, America, but I can’t join in the celebration of Osama bin Laden’s demise. It’s not that I am not happy this villain is dead, it’s just that I don’t want to honor the lies that our disgraceful snippet of a deluded leader is slavering all over anyone foolish enough to listen. He is making it sound as if HE planned and led the troops in the execution of the entire exercise. He also sounds close to claiming credit for it being his idea for several years. On 9/11/01 he was probably out hustling the neighborhoods in his community activist role.
Bin Laden Burial Account Requires Better Explanation
By Trevor Westra Full Story One of the more peculiar storylines emerging from this week’s news that U.S. Navy Seals successfully killed the elusive Islamic-terrorist figurehead Osama bin Laden at a fortified compound in urban Pakistan was the surprising manner in which U.S. officials allegedly disposed of his remains. While it is certainly understandable that the Obama administration would want to avoid entombing his dead body, thereby allowing his followers a location which they could turn into a mausoleum for generations of al-Qaeda sympathizers, affording bin Laden a full religious funeral complete with body washing and Arabic rites was a questionable move.

Jus Shootin’ the Breeze

What’s up my friends? I don’t know about you guys, but dad-gum if I wasn’t getting tired of just saying “Good Morning!” I needed a change of pace, so…what’s up!

Our National Day of Prayer
By Alan Caruba
Thursday, May 5, is our National Day of Prayer. Among my many friends few regularly attend a house of prayer, nor even believe in a greater power.
I have heard it said that “Courage is fear that has said a prayer” and every time I get a request to say a prayer for someone who is ill, has passed away, is facing some adversity, I pause to do so. My favorite and most constant prayer is “Thank you” for my health, my family, my friends, my life.
“Hirohito and Tojo Embarrassed - FDR & US Celebrate”
By William R. Mann
Let us pause for a moment and reflect on a truly “gutsy” decision. President Obama is often compared against Franklin Roosevelt as a leader in that mold. I beg to differ. Roosevelt was a known quantity when he came into office. His programs were undeniably Liberal-Left in many respects, and he was certainly high-handed. The Republicans, however, gave him his due. He had beaten Herbert Hoover in a landslide of epic proportions, his inspiring speeches and chats, and his confident style won him trust among the population. His own adoration for America and his fellow Americans was obvious. The New Deal was a “Questionable Deal” to the GOP, but they gave FDR much leeway. Besides, they could not stop it.

Patriotism is the Last Refuge of a Liberal
By Daniel Greenfield
The man who came into office promising multilateral engagement, no more torture and a civilian justice system for terrorists, now has only accomplishment to his name. A unilateral invasion and assassination based on intelligence gained through enhanced interrogation, carried out by men whom his supporters had once condemned as a secret assassination squad. What a failure Obama is that even the one success to his name is a testament to the failure of his own ideas.

Obama’s Rush to Announce the Death of bin Laden Will Prove Costly
By Al Kaltman --American Politics
President Obama deserves a great deal of credit for authorizing SEAL Team 6 to take out Osama bin Laden. While some Americans have been outraged by his self-congratulatory pronouncements, most have been so delighted that bin Laden finally got what he deserved that they seem willing not to notice that instead of heaping praise on the men and women of our intelligence services and the military who are the real heroes of this story, Obama acts as if he did everything himself, everything that is except pull the trigger. One can forgive the President for self aggrandizement. Obama is a politician, and the death of bin Laden has given his approval rating a much needed boost in the polls.
We Have To Do Something About These Soaring Gold Prices
By Institute for Energy Research --American Politics
WASHINGTON- With gold prices reaching record heights in April, gold mining companies are reporting huge profits. 79 percent of all gold mined in the U.S. comes from Nevada, where the state’s senior senator, Harry Reid, is a stalwart defender of the industry. But with the soaring price of gold, the U.S. government still allows the gold mining industry to take advantage of deductions in the tax code. These subsidies must end.

5 Questions our Beaming President Needs to Answer on the Death of Osama bin Laden
By Joseph A. Klein --American Politics
President Obama is basking in the after-glow of the successful operation that led to the demise of Osama bin Laden. As I have said previously, he deserves credit for making the gutsy decision to use a Navy SEAL team to take Bin Laden down. Of course, the lion’s share of the credit belongs to the special operations forces themselves, who overcame immense odds to mount the incredibly risky attack ordered by their commander-in-chief.

Bagging bin Laden is big, but it doesn’t alter the political chessboard!

Congratulations should be extended to ALL individuals involved in helping to bring balance to the scales of justice with the bagging of bin Laden. Joy, relief and melancholy combine for a surreal emotional cocktail as the nation joins all of those who were personally victimized by the gutless puppeteer of terrorism in rejoicing his demise. We need to take a moment to savor this historic event before readdressing the political chessboard of our nation’s many and grave challenges.
Major New Weapon for the Freedom Fighter’s Arsenal
By Tom Deweese --American Freedom
America is being transformed. Americans know something is very wrong and are desperately digging for answers. Spending is out of control. Rules and regulations are enforced over every aspect of our lives. Not only can we not build on our private property, but our rivers and streams are becoming off limits; energy prices are skyrocketing as our government refuses to even consider using American energy reserves that are locked away, apparently forever. American jobs are disappearing oversees. Our money is growing more worthless every day and taxes are going up on everything we buy, eat, drive, or wear. Schools don’t teach. healthcare isn’t about health. Investments translate to bankruptcy. And Social Security isn’t secure.
U.S. gave $Billions to train, equip foreign police forces: Gov’t report
By Jim Kouri --American Politics
This week, the Government Accountability Office submitted a report to the U.S. Congress addressing the foreign aid earmarked for police agencies in nations that deal with terrorism, narcotics trafficking and other criminal activities such as Pakistan. The rationale for such aid is that these terrorists, narco-terrorists and criminal enterprises have an impact on U.S. national security.

A Day in April 1945 -North to Groningen
By Dick Field --Canada
When we left the last scene of our story we were about 22 ¾ hours into our day, a very long and exhausting one. Our infantry was at our start line lying in tall grass waiting for our barrage to commence at 5:00 AM when the attack would begin. All was silent. We could hear the enemy talking, laughing and unaware of our presence.

Travel America
Canyonlands National Park, Utah
By John Treadwell Dunbar --Travel America
It’s that time of the year, late April when southern Utah’s high desert beckons with a shout and red-rock cliffs streaked black like tar and convoluted canyons and eroded spires demand homage, photographically speaking.
This mind-altering terrain of 377,000 rugged acres 40 miles southwest of Moab cradled between the LaSal, Abajo and Henry Mountains and trisected by the twisting turns of the Colorado and Green rivers defies our paltry imaginations. Up close and personal the land is surprisingly verdant, and its million colorful canyons will forever alter any preconceived notion you might harbor of what a desert is supposed to look like. Brown, flat and perennially parched it is not.

Initial Thoughts upon the Assassination of Bin Laden
By INSS --War on Terrorism
The news that the most wanted terrorist in the world, certainly in the last decade – a title that Bin Laden himself said he was proud to bear – was eliminated prompts an initial sigh of relief and perhaps even a sense of satisfaction that a person who was directly responsible for the deliberate murder of thousands of innocent people has finally met his due.
Still, even at this early stage it is appropriate to consider some issues the assassination raises: its effect on future al-Qaeda activities, the response we may expect from Bin Laden’s operatives and associates in the global jihad movement, the future of the global war on terrorism, and even moral questions about the use of targeted assassination as a tool in that war.
