I came across this trailer for the documentary The Good Solider and was instantly engaging. I'm a huge supporter of our troops, politics and everything else aside, and I always find the real people's stories of being a soldier incredibly moving and fascinating, as well as being educational for all. The Good Soldier is a film that follows five combat veterans from different generations...

Read it. That needs to change, and the way to change it is to turn their own tactic back on them. Local prosecutors in the U.S. need to start indicting the judges and prosecutors involved in any attempt to arrest, try or imprison American soldiers and agents illegally.

From Fox News, who strangely referred to American soldiers as “Islamic soldiers” in their story headline. They took an oath to be U.S. soldiers, not Islamic. Determining which, if any, are Islamic soldiers is the heart of the problem. Hat tip Jihad Watch, which has more on CAIR’s taqiyya campaign. A Muslim veteran affairs...

Hood Texas last Thursday, November 5, 2009, has many of my fellow Christians outraged and incensed towards all Muslims in America. I do not completely share their view. I am concerned, however. Concerned that this...

Just an ordinary Joe with common sense and un-blinded by the light. All the sensitivity training, all the political correctness indoctrination, all the moral equivalency, marine guards wearing gloves to hand the Quran to murderers at Guantanamo, and what do we have?

Incredibly, these are American Muslims (Islamists) praising the murder and wounding of American soldiers at Fort Hood by Nidal Hasan, and blame the war on terror - a war we didn't start but the Islamists did - in which American troops are fighting radical Islamists who specialize in killing men, women, and children. Meanwhile, our liberal-progressive Homeland Security Chief...
