Hard to believe it’s been 2 years of the Wednesday Hero blogroll celebrating our military heroes. Thanks go to Chris at Right Wing Right Minded for creating and putting together this weekly recognition.
Kathi at Mail Call has created a slideshow showing 2 years of our Heroes.

Wednesday Hero, 2 Yr […]

As a reluctant McCain supporter his choice of Gov Sarah Palin is very exciting for me. I really like this woman, she’s smart, conservative, pro-drilling, pro-troops, a looker and a scrapper in the political arena. I have long thought Sarah Palin would be a wonderful choice for McCain but honestly never thought he’d […]

I hadn’t really planned on listening to Obama’s speech tonight, I figured I’d catch the beginning and then change channels. However, I ended up stuck in traffic on I-65 South with 3 lanes closed due to resurfacing. It looked like semi-truck convention. Because of this I ended up listening to his whole […]

The NY Post is saying McCain’s campaign is calling Barack’s over the top Temple of Doom, Barackopolis. I think the Temple of Doom is more appropriate.
John McCain’s campaign mocked the massive neoclassical set created for Obama’s speech at 75,000-seat Invesco Field. Some Republicans have dubbed it the “Barackopolis,” while others suggested the delegates […]

Over at Redstate, Absentee did a visual study to find American flags that the DNC had put up around the Pepsi Center and not including any which are standard fare for a convention center.
Interesting game - “Find the Flag”. You’d think it would be a piece of cake right? Not so […]

That title sounds radical doesn’t it. I’ve always thought that Obama’s Marxism was more of threat than his Muslim upbringing. Looks like the two go hand in hand.
Debbie at Right Truth has an interesting roundup of stories on Obama’s Jihadi connections.
BTW - have you heard about the pop-Mosque in Denver? […]

Lt. Col. Nathan Blood

Lt. Col. Nathan Blood, brigade effects coordinator for 4th Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division (Light), Multi-National Division - Baghdad, says “Hello” to his 16-month-old daughter, Mackenzie, during a web camera communication.
These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to […]

This is cute. Got it from a friend of my parents in Minnesota.
The Presidential election was too close to call. Neither the Republican nor Democratic candidate had enough votes to win. There was much talk about ballot recounting, court challenges, etc., but a week-long ice fishing competition seemed the sportsmanlike way to settle things. […]

Good grief but Biden is even more of a trainwreck than Obama. Hard to believe….
Biden’s Iran Problem Even More Troubling Than It First Appears
Following up on an Instapundit link to a Washington Post piece indicating Senator Joseph Biden’s soft-headed approach to Iran (read all of that) and an email tip I received two days […]

Bill Russell who is running in Pennsylvania to boot John Murtha from office has a great ad.

We now know that Congressman Jack Murtha’s long public indictment of American Marines was factually wrong. Instead of “cold blooded killers,” court rulings reveal a dramatically different story of personal courage under fire. True heroism.
Lt. […]

I always love to find art along the highway soooooo…..
The moose is probably more art than I usually find but since it’s a display for an Art Center in Old Forge this is a bit more professional than my usual finds. I loved the whimsical nature of this moose.

Now this bear […]

I can’t help it but this is great. I found it on Freepers (of course).

Newsbusters’ Mark Finkelstein went to Project Vote Smart and found that Biden is your typical leftwing libtard.
Here’s the results:
* NARAL - A [2006]
* Planned Parenthood - A [2006]
* National Right to Life Committee - 0% [2005-06]
* National Taxpayers Union […]

I’ve been following Christian’s lawsuit against this case of discrimination by Temple University in Pennsylvania. While this latest ruling by the 3rd US Circuit Court affirms Christians win in District Court, he is still in limbo.
To read the background on this case of discrimination on speech by Temple University against Sgt Christian DeJohn go […]

Beth at Blue Star Chronicles is fuming about a rant Democrat strategist Bob Beckel had about the South:
According to the interviewer, there had been a discussion in Obama’s camp about how to get past ‘the color of his skin’ in the South. A Southern democrat has told them that it wasn’t the color of his […]

Pvt. Nathan Z. Thacker
18 years old from Greenbrier, Arkansas

Pvt. Nathan Z. Thacker had only been in the country for two weeks before his death, according to the soldier’s father, Stephen Thacker.
Thacker’s father said his son felt a duty to enlist. “He […]

Yesterday we spent the afternoon at Camp Sagamore which was the getaway wilderness spot for the Vanderbilts. The drive up the mountain was beautiful and the camp itself is amazing considering when it was built (think it was started in 1897). We had a nice lunch, questionable tour and then heard a music […]

Yesterday we went to Boonville for their Woodsmen Parade. It was like no parade I’ve ever seen before. Instead of floats and marching bands Boonville has semi’s, Caterpillars, logging trucks, just every kind of truck imaginable. Horns tooting from the trucks was overwhelming. There were a few odd little entrants in the parade […]

Some photos from the last couple days. Yesterday we did a bit of canoing around the lake and then headed into Old Forge, NY. Old Forge is quite touristy but in a charming way.

Bears anyone?

This one store had a number of stuffed fauns, I just thought it was bizarre. They were displayed […]

Keeping with the Olympic theme we have a precision routine by members of the US Navy.

I’m heading to upstate NY very early Thursday morning to visit a friend at her cabin in the Andirondaks. Looking forward to alot of sight seeing and great views. I’ll have to wait and see what my net […]

Spc. Matthew A. Koch was on his second tour of duty when he was killed by an IED that was detonated near his vehicle in Taji. He was posthumously awarded the Bronze Star […]

There is just no end to the audacity of the ‘Big O’.
From See-dubya at Michelle Malkin:
Obama politicizes military spouses
Michelle Obama is having “round table” discussions at various sites near military bases to discuss issues faced by military families (”Michelle Obama courts vital military families,” Politics, Thursday). A group known as Blue Stars for Obama, largely […]

One of my Patriot Guard friends started this troop care package drive 3 years ago. She got support from Bumpus Harley Davidson of Murfreesboro, Tn, AnySoldier and the Patriot Guard Riders. Susan pours her heart and soul into supporting our troops and I hope anyone from this area could stop by Bumpus in […]
