~ “I hope we once again have reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There’s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: as government expands, liberty contracts.” Ronald Reagan.
“On the last day of the Democratic National Convention, a retired Navy four-star honored the country’s veterans with a moving speech. Photos of our capable warships, coupled with a number of what appear to be U.S. trainer jets, completed the message.
The only problem? According to the Navy Times, the “stirring backdrop” in fact depicted Russian warships.
‘The ships are definitely Russian,‘ said noted naval author Norman Polmar after reviewing hi-resolution photos from the event. ‘There’s no question of that in my mind.’
Naval experts concluded the background was a photo composite of Russian ships that were overflown by what appear to be U.S. trainer jets. It remains unclear how or why the Democratic Party used what’s believed to be images of the Russian Black Sea Fleet at their convention….”
“Democratic officials have issued an apology for mistakenly displaying Russian warships as the background to a ceremony honoring U.S. veterans at the Democratic National Convention.
‘Due to vendor error, incorrect images appeared briefly on screen behind fifty-one veterans during the convention and the DNCC apologizes for this mistake…This error should not distract from the words of Admiral Nathman and others who spoke to President Obama’s strong record on issues that impact those who have served our nation.’
The apology concludes with a swipe at Republican nominee Mitt Romney…”
Progressives are such arrogant elitists that they simply cannot resist pointing the finger at Romney.
Talk about fundamentally transforming America, first Progressives insult Christians and God. Next they insult Israel (Jerusalem) and Jews and by the end of the convention, they manage to top it off by dishonoring our troops with a photograph of Russian war ships.
Oh boy, the offenses committed by the handlers of the 2012 Democratic National Convention just keep coming. One can only assume that this is has to do with Obama fundamentally transforming America.
Once again, I suppose that we were not supposed to catch this. Clearly, there is a message in here but the less than heartfelt apology by Progressives has not been lost on most Americans, especially those who served. (See screenshots below of comments from article at Navy Times.)
“Barack Obama was greeted with fleeting applause and extended periods of silence as he offered profuse praise to soldiers and their families during an Aug. 31 speech in Fort Bliss, Texas.
His praise for the soldiers — and for his own national-security policies — won cheers from only a small proportion of the soldiers and families in the cavernous aircraft-hanger.
The audience remains quiet even when the commander-in-chief thanked the soldiers’ families, and cited the 198 deaths of their comrades in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The audience’s reaction was so flat that the president tried twice to elicit a reaction from the crowd.
‘Hey, I hear you,’ he said amid silence.
The selected soldiers who were arrayed behind the president sat quietly throughout the speech.
CNN and MSNBC ended their coverage of the speech before it was half-over….”
“…Hey, I hear you…” No Barack, you do not because you refuse to. You refuse to listen to the voices of anyone but yourself. You refuse to listen the voices those who away from their families, friends and loved ones in service for our country.
You refuse to hear the voices of those who made the ultimate sacrifice or the voices of their families, friends and loved ones and you refuse to listen to the cries of your generals (excluding the yes men) and our veterans.
Even more offensive is that you lead from behind, waste not a night’s sleep on the betrayal of the men and women who serve(d) and most disgusting of all; you selfishly use them for your own personal gain.
Obama Campaigning at Fort Bliss Using Troops AGAIN as Props 08312012 002
Obama Campaigning at Fort Bliss Using Troops AGAIN as Props 08312012 003
Our heroes are not props. They are flesh and blood, men and women, children of God and deserve to be respected, honored, appreciated, loved, prayed for by all and afforded the right to vote and you Barack are no exception; a disgrace yes, a traitor, tyrant, campaigner, liar and opportunist.
“…An anecdote about his meeting with a wounded soldier was met with a tepid response, until he described the soldier’s determination to recover and return to his unit. ‘He’s where every soldier wants to be – back with his unit,’ Obama said, generating applause….”
“On August 6, 2011, 30 US service members were killed when a CH-47 Chinook helicopter they were being transported in crashed in Wardak province, Afghanistan. It was the deadliest single loss for U.S. forces in the decade-long war in Afghanistan. 17 members of the elite Navy SEALs were killed in the crash.
Yesterday, Karen and Billy Vaughn, parents of Aaron Carson Vaughn, spoke at theDefending the Defenders forum sponsored by the Tea Party Patriots outside the RNC Convention in Tampa. Karen brought a copy of the form letter they were sent following their son’s death.
What does this say about a president who is too busy campaigning, destroying the country and infringing upon the liberties of a nation to (i) add a personal touch and (ii) personally sign letters to the families of those who have given of themselves making the ultimate sacrifice?
Sacrilege and further proof that Obama holds nothing but contempt for our military and all things American. H/tTHE BLAZE.
“The Marine Corps Times previewsits cover storyabout anti-Obama Marines at their ‘Battle Rattle’ blog.
According to the article, of the 792 active-duty troops and mobilized reservists who responded to this year’s Military Times Poll, 44 percent said that they disapprove of the way Obama is handling his job as commander in chief…..”
Our heroic U. S. Marines, who can blame them. Like the rest of us, these noble men and women can see through the illusion known as Barack Hussein Obama.
For decades, Progressives have been trampling over our military but Obama has taken his disrespect and disdain for our military to the highest of heights.
While our men and women in the military are honorable, Barack Obama is not. He has done everything humanly possible to denigrate, humiliate and rip the morale of our troops to shreds.
All of the above from a man who has never served a day in his life for his country. H/tThe Blaze.
Now that the cat is officially out of the bag, Americans must pay special attention to ensure that the opportunity to vote in the coming election by our men and women serving are not sabotaged by Progressives.
God bless the United States military. God bless the U. S. Marines.
Lunches from home are not acceptable but school lunch consisting of Soylent pink, which is by the way, doused in ammonia meets USDA and Michelle Obama’s requirements.
Your family first Michelle. Oh my bad, no Soylent Pink for the Obamas. Michelle would never permit her family to ingest Soylent Pink. They eat Kobe beef but as for the rest of the country, public school children and the U. S. Military, you eat what you are told.
Today, many parents will be questioning the wisdom of a government-controlled school lunch program. Why? Because the Feds have announced that the USDA is buying seven million pounds of something that is affectionately known as ‘pink slime….”
It is only fair to note that even though the feds are at war with McDonald’s, Taco Bell, etc. over their use of “pink slime” that the federal government has been feeding this to crap children in the school lunch programs since 2009.
The only difference is that McDonald’s will no longer add pink slime to its burgers while the government increases its usage from 5.5 million pounds7 million pounds per year.
Do not be surprise if in time it is revealed that the U. S. government is using at least twice as much “pink slime” as it now claims. After all, we are talking about the Obama administration where nothing is ever as it seems and everything is a lie.
“…The cost savings realized by adding the ammonia treated mixture of trimmings real ground beef amounts about 3 cents a pound. And there have been reports from schools and prisons where these burgers are served claiming that the meat smells and tastes of ammonia. And yet the USDA is increasing the amount of pink slime purchased for the national school lunch programs….”
The cat is out of the bag (again). The feds stopped McDonald’s from using Soylent Pink because they wanted it for their own use. Despicable!
Translation: Progressives are also making out like fat ratspigs cows benefitting from this despicable process.

How much more proof do we need that parents must get involved; that parents must tell the government to back up off (not what I really wanted to say) and that the parents must take stand sending a message that I, the PARENT, will DECIDE what my child eats NOT Michelle Obama, her NANNY STATE or the USDA.
“U.S. Marine Gen. John Allen ordered the unprecedented move after an American colonel and major were both found shot in the head at the busy Interior Ministry compound that is the nerve center for the Afghan law enforcement, according to one Western official in Kabul.
‘We are investigating the crime and we will pursue all leads to find the person responsible for this attack,’ Gen. Allen said in a statement. ‘The perpetrator of this attack is a coward whose actions will not go unanswered….”
Yeah right. Don’t hold your breath America. These Islamic fanatics are not going to turn in fellow jihadists. Instead, they will celebrate the death of Americans as they continue to riot, raise hell, rape, pillage and shed more blood.
Whose head is this on? The apologist and appeaser, BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA.
Original post:
There is a cover up afoot but first as reported by FOX NEWS:
“KABUL, Afghanistan – The commander of NATO and U.S. forces says that all NATO personnel are being recalled from Afghan ministries following an attack at the Interior Ministry in Kabul.
Gen. John Allen says staff are being recalled “for obvious force protection reasons.” He says NATO is investigating Saturday’s shooting and will pursue all leads to find the person responsible for the attack.
Two U.S. military advisers were killed Saturday at the Afghanistan Interior Ministry in Kabul, though accounts of what led to the clash were unclear….
…a report by the Wall Street Journal, citing one Western official in Kabul, said the two high-ranking advisers were killed by an Afghan policeman who was upset about the burning of Korans earlier this week at a U.S. military base…”
Like I said, someone is trying to put a spin on this report and quick so don’t be surprised if much like the Bin Laden story, it changes five times by Tuesday.
When I googled “two Americans killed Afghanistan” and the word “colonel” showed up on my laptop screen for a split second and then disappeared as quick as it appeared with the words“military advisors” in its place.
Repeated the exact search in twice more and each time and got the same exact results. Flash! Gone! Replace!
Finally, I googled U.S. colonel killed in Afghanistan and got the Times of Indiaon top.
“KABUL: Two Americans who were shot dead on Saturday inside the Interior Ministry in Afghanistan’s capital Kabulare believed to beacoloneland a major in the US military, Afghan security sources told Reuters. A spokeswoman for Nato’sInternational Security Assistance Force(Isaf) confirmed two of their servicemen had been shot dead in central Kabul by an individual who turned his weapon on them. She declined to say if the killer was a member of the Afghan military or police. …”
Apparently, Google in collusion with the White House is working overtime to keep a lid on the events surrounding the death of our troops. I suspect that Barack the appeaser does not want this to become a campaign issue, i.e., a possible hindrance to his re-election. Selfish, I know but typical Obama.
Since I had to go to the Times of Indiafor this report, I thought I would peruse and share some of the comments there as well. See below:
ABDUL (LAHORE) 1 min ago (10:57 PM) MINDLESS MULLAS ARE SACRIFICING THEIR PETTY LIFE FOR THE SAKE OF SOME RUBBISH PAPERS CALLED QURAN .REALLY THESE MUSLIMS ARE BEASTS ,NO BRAIN TO THINK & ACT
raghu (india) 2 mins ago (10:56 PM) The real tragedy about the muslims being in the stone age mentality is not that they are in that state. The real tragedy is not that some of them don’t realize that they are in that state. The real tragedy is, far too many of them believe that it is somebody else’s fault that they are in that state. These losers are almost happy to be in this state as long as they don’t have to acknowledge that it’s their own fault. The blame can be placed at the door of anybody – the the Zionists, US, israel ,India, non belivers,kaffirs etc
Ram (Chennai) 12 mins ago (10:46 PM) American’s should with draw their force.
Cartoon mohammed (India) 23 mins ago (10:35 PM) How did islam come to Afghanistan?..the country was invaded and islam was imposed and the people who resisted were killed. Americans should do the same..all this apology nonsense goes over their primitive islamic brains
Anthony (Mumbai) 1 hr ago (09:43 PM) You all have not answered my question. Why all the outroar when a Koran is burnt? Why not when the Bible is destroyed or burned? Or even Gita or Hindu Holy Book? We see the muslim work go just bezerk or sometimes mindlessly insane as though their existence at stake. Why not have some restraint and protest in peace? Or peace is out of Muslim vocabulary? comeone this is just fair to ask of a religion that claim to be peacefull when questioned by reacts with utmost terror when rattled.
A.N.Thekra (Kodaikanal) 1 hr ago (09:21 PM) Poor Americans and European forces trapped in their own web. They can’t move from Afghanistan immediately . It’s a question of prestige for them.. They keep losing forces rapidly. That’s the punishment for them for occupying the sovereignty of the nation. These westerners are cunning beggars. Now USA initiating to interfere the Indian internal affairs through Tamilnadu nuclear project issue. We Indian should stay away from these traitors.
Brahmos (India) 1 hr ago (09:19 PM) The muslim terrorism was so savage that Hindu Afghanistan has now just 5000 Hindus left. Islamic invasions on Hindu Afghanistan started in 642 AD. In AD 870 Hindu king of Kabul Rusal who had been harassed by Yaqub Ibn Layth received a message from Yaqub for a meeting for truce. The foolish and trusting king Rusal met unprepared with Yaqub. Hindu Afghanistan king Rusal was assassinated, his army decimated and his people enslaved. . Afghan historian Khondamir says that in the city of Herat in Afghanistan, 1,500,000 were killed. The insane muslims are taught that killing infidels or non muslims will ensure a Muslim’s place in heaven.
And less than 24 hours ago, General Allen, U.S. top commander in Afghanistan had the following to say:
Wonder what General Allen is saying right now. Everyone should stop lying to our troops and stop lying to the American people. The writing is on the wall. It is time to pull our men and women out of Afghanistan. Bring them home to their families and loved ones ALIVE.
Leave the people of Afghanistan alone. They despise us and not one more drop of American blood should be shed for these barbarians nor should our troops be forced to kiss their asses.
