Still an Empty Chair

Another of Obama's sarcastic, demeaning insults is false:  "I think Gov. Romney maybe hasn’t spent enough time looking at how our military works,” Obama said about Romney’s complaint that there will be fewer ships in the Navy than in 1916.  “Well, governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets because the nature of our military’s changed. We have these things called aircraft carriers, where planes land on them,” Obama said. “We have these ships that go underwater, nuclear submarines. And so the question is not a game of Battleship, where we’re counting ships. It’s what are our capabilities.”
   Maybe if Obama attended some of his intelligence briefings he might have some knowledge about what is going on with the military.  Just 3 days before he made the above comment in the debate, a horse/soldier monument was dedicated at ground zero.  This monument was to honor the first soldiers sent to Afghanistan in response to the 9/11 attack.  Guess what?  They had to go in on horses and they had bayonets!  In fact, a British soldier was recently honored for leading a bayonet charge against the Taliban in 2011 in Afghanistan.
   “The bayonet is still very much a useful tool," former U.S. Marine Doug Miller, of Hiawatha, Kan., told FoxNews.com. "That was kind of a dumb thing for him to say."
   Miller, 64, a Vietnam veteran who served in the 3rd Battalion, 11th Marines Division, said the bayonet is indispensable for Marines in urban warfare, where they may have to go room to room in search of insurgents.

    After being brainwashed in college (especially during my Columbia University years), I went out into the real world and discovered the truth.  Over the years I have seen the way liberals ridicule and distort how conservatives & defenders of our Constitution view important issues in our country and the world.  I'm writing this blog to help present the truth on political issues.
