Obama's Patriotism
Here President-wannabe Obama displays his respect for the National Anthem:

Submarine Involved In Somalia Attack?
There's an interesting tidbit in this AP report on today's attack against a High-Value Target in Somalia:
Another defense official told The Associated Press that the strike used one or more Tomahawk cruise missiles fired from a U.S. submarine off Somalia's coast. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to discuss details.Normally, at this point I'd go through the open source reports of submarine movements and write about which boat may have actually been involved in the attack, but it turns out that Galrahn has already done that. He names USS Norfolk (SSN 714) as the most likely firing platform, with USS Montpelier (SSN 765), deployed with the Harry S. Truman Strike Group, as another candidate. Since Norfolk was described in December as leaving on a six month "independent deployment" to the CENTCOM AOR, I'd say he's probably on the mark.
USS Virginia Update
The New London Day has a decent article giving an update on USS Virginia (SSN 773 774) and her plans for a deployment next year. Excerpts:
Edited 2156 03 March to correct a typo.
Hurt, the leading petty officer in the torpedo room, was confident in the crew's abilities to take on the Hartford.I like to see confidence among young submariners -- I'm sure the crew of the Hartford is looking forward to schooling the crew of the Virginia as well. While the newer boat should have the advantage, I would caution them that there are three submarines out there that are just as quiet, and a lot faster. Quiet is good in submarine combat, but speed is life.
“The only enemy a submarine has is another submarine,” he said. “We know each other's practices, so it's who's got the upper hand, who's faster at the draw, like a showdown at the O.K. Corral. We're going to win.”
There is no comparison acoustically between a Virginia-class submarine like the Virginia and a Los-Angeles-class submarine like the Hartford, Hurt said. He refers to other classes as “Brand X.”
“In the submarine world, if you're the quiet guy you'll come out on top all the time,” he said. “Acoustically we'll tear them up.”

Obama Hates America
Barack Hussein Obama hates America and seeks to punish it.
His swooning supporters embrace this punishment to redeem their guilt.
His motivations are kept hidden, but by his actions in unguarded moments and by his associates, we can find important clues.
Here we see Obama standing with other Democratic Presidential hopefuls during the National Anthem; he can't bring himself to correctly show respect by putting his hand on his heart like the others are doing, so instead he cups his crotch and sways around.
Watch Obama disrespect the National Anthem.
What kind of President doesn't make the proper a salute at the anthem in public??? One who hates this country, that's who!
He won't wear the American Flag lapel pin either.
Here is Obama, making strong unequivocal campaign statements in his own video to seriously cripple our National Defense:
Here we learn about the driving hatreds of the women in his life.
There's much more, like his "Afrocentric" racist church (Trinity United Church of Christ) and its Farrakhan and Gadaffi and terrorist-supporting pastor. Obama chose to join and support this church, and still does.
Not to mention Obama's ties to and advice and money received from William Ayers, the unrepentant domestic terrorist from the Weather Underground who bombed the Pentagon.

'Everything was absolutely ideal on the day I bombed the Pentagon."These kinds of people from San Francisco who hate America support Obama -- I wonder why? [Warning -- images may damage your eyes! Not work safe!]
This excerpt from William Ayers' memoir appeared in the New York Times on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001 -- a few hours before Al Qaeda terrorists crashed hijacked planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Ayers, once a leader in the Weather Underground -- the group that declared "war" on the U.S. government in 1970 -- told the Times, "I don't regret setting bombs" and "I feel we didn't do enough."
Ayers recently reappeared in the news because Politico.com reported Friday that Barack Obama has loose ties to him. Ayers, now a professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, is apparently a left-wing institution in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood, and Obama visited Ayers' home as a rite of passage when launching his political career in the mid-1990s.

Why is it only conservative "cranks" who think it's relevant that Obama's campaign headquarters in Houston had a Che Guevara-emblazoned Cuban flag hanging on the wall? Indeed, why is love of Che still radically chic at all? A murderer who believed that "the U.S. is the great enemy of mankind" shouldn't be anyone's romantic hero. Why are Fidel Castro's apologists progressive and enlightened but apologists for Augusto Pinochet frightening and authoritarian? Why was Sen. Trent Lott's kindness to former segregationist Sen. Strom Thurmond a scandal but Obama's acquaintance with an unrepentant terrorist a triviality?
The Battle Is Joined!
Here in Idaho's 1st Congressional District, we're just now starting to think about the upcoming Congressional elections. There are a couple of candidates on the Democratic side, and a challenger on the Republican side, but up to now the incumbent, Bill Sali, hadn't bothered to activate his campaign website. Now he has... and it's a thing of beauty.
What makes it so special? Well, although he doesn't allow comments and likely won't answer any questions (just like in his last campaign) he for some reason has decided to join various social networking sites that do allow comments (like MySpace, Facebook, YouTube, and Flickr). I'm sure he's got them moderated, but it's still great for his constituents to see how Emily thinks he's the "best boss ever. :)" -- you can't get that kind of thing on a boring campaign website.
While I'll be keeping a close eye on Congressman Sali's continuing efforts to "keep it real" with the younger generation, I'll personally be supporting Larry Grant for Congress in 2008 as the kind of economically conservative, socially moderate Representative that Idaho needs.
