Here's a toast to the brave men and women who have sacrificed for our great nation. May we always remember that it is because of them that we enjoy the freedom that we do today. Let's just hope we still have enough sane people left in this country to not give it away.

This is a fantastic piece of video. Bill Whittle, of Pajamasmedia, takes Obama and his marxist hacks apart piece by piece. THIS IS A MUCH WATCH VIDEO!

Cap tip to Pajamasmedia.

As the following video demonstrates, Obama couldn't come up with an original, extemperaneous thought to save his life. Thank goodness the liberal media is there to remind the moron class how brilliant he is, otherwise, they might draw the same conclusion those of us on the right have - he's a blabbering idiot.

This is the best analysis I've read to date on the Trayvon Martin killing. Absolutely spot on.

It's all about race now

If it had been a white teenager who was shot, and a 28-year-old black guy who shot him, the black guy would have been arrested.
   
So assert those demanding the arrest of George Zimmerman, who shot and killed Trayvon Martin.
   
And they may be right.
   
Yet if Trayvon had been shot dead by a black neighborhood watch volunteer, Jesse Jackson would not have been in a pulpit in Sanford, Fla., howling that he had been "murdered and martyred."
   
Maxine Waters would not be screaming "hate crime."
   
Rep. Hank Johnson would not be raging that Trayvon had been "executed." And ex-Black Panther Bobby Rush would not have been wearing a hoodie in the well of the House.
   
Which tells you what this whipped-up hysteria is all about.
   
It is not about finding the truth about what happened that night in Sanford when Zimmerman followed Trayvon in his SUV, and the two wound up in a fight, with Trayvon dead.
   
It is about the exacerbation of and the exploitation of racial conflict.
   
And it is about an irreconcilable conflict of visions about what the real America is in the year 2012.
   
Zimmerman "profiled" Trayvon, we are told. And perhaps he did.
   
But why? What did George Zimmerman, self-styled protector of his gated community, see that night from the wheel of his SUV?
   
He saw a male. And males are 90 percent of prison inmates. He saw a stranger over 6 feet tall. And he saw a black man or youth with a hood over his head.
   
Why would this raise Zimmerman's antennae?
   
Perhaps because black males between 16 and 36, though only 2 to 3 percent of the population, are responsible for a third of all our crimes.
   
In some cities, 40 percent of all black males are in jail or prison, on probation or parole, or have criminal records. This is not a product of white racism but of prosecutions and convictions of criminal acts.
   
Had Zimmerman seen a black woman or older man in his neighborhood, he likely would never have tensed up or called in.
   
For all the abuse he has received, Geraldo Rivera had a point.
   
Whenever cable TV runs hidden-camera footage of a liquor or convenience store being held up and someone behind the counter being shot, the perp is often a black male wearing a hoodie.
   
Listening to the heated rhetoric coming from demonstrations around the country, from the Black Caucus and TV talkers -- about how America is a terrifying place for young black males to grow up in because of the constant danger from white vigilantes -- one wonders what country of the mind these people are living in.
   
The real America is a country where the black crime rate is seven times as high as the white rate. It is a country where white criminals choose black victims in 3 percent of their crimes, but black criminals choose white victims in 45 percent of their crimes.
   
Black journalists point to the racism manifest even in progressive cities, where cabs deliberately pass them by to pick up white folks down the block.
   
That this happens is undeniable. But, again, what is behind it?
  
As Heather Mac Donald of the Manhattan Institute has written, from January to June 2008 in New York City, 83 percent of all identified gun assailants were black and 15 percent were Hispanics.
   
Together, blacks and Hispanics accounted for 98 percent of gun assaults.
   
Translated: If a cabdriver is going to be mugged or murdered in New York City by a fare, 49 times out of 50 his assailant or killer will be black or Hispanic.
   
Fernando Mateo of the New York State Federation of Taxi Drivers has told his drivers, "Profile your passengers" for your own protection. "The God's honest truth is that 99 percent of the people that are robbing, stealing, killing these guys are blacks and Hispanics."
  
Fernando Mateo is himself black and Hispanic.
   
To much of America's black leadership and its media auxiliaries, what happened in Sanford was, as Jesse put it, that an innocent kid was "shot down in cold blood by a vigilante."
   
Yet, from police reports, witness statements, and the father and friends of Zimmerman, another picture emerges.
   
Zimmerman followed Trayvon, confronted him, and was punched in the nose, knocked flat on his back and jumped on, getting his head pounded, when he pulled his gun and fired. That Trayvon's body was found face down, not face up, would tend to support this.
   
But, to Florida Congresswoman Federica Wilson, "this sweet young boy ... was hunted down like a dog, shot on the street, and his killer is still at large."
   
Some Sanford police believed Zimmerman; others did not.
   
But now that it is being investigated by a special prosecutor, the FBI, the Justice Department and a coming grand jury, what is the purpose of this venomous portrayal of George Zimmerman?
   
As yet convicted of no crime, he is being crucified in the arena of public opinion as a hate-crime monster and murderer.
   
Is this our idea of justice?
   
No. But if the purpose here is to turn this into a national black-white face-off, instead of a mutual search for truth and justice, it is succeeding marvelously well.

Liberals are miserable individuals, and no one made them more miserable than Andrew Breitbart. He absolutely owned the poor bastards. Or as Ricky Bobby's son Texas Ranger said in the red-neck classic Talladega Nights, "he made them his bitch".

He was completely fearless in his disection of the far-left and their various schemes. Whether it be blowing the lid off of the Acorn scam or stating the obvious about some random commie loon, he tread where no one else would dare, and made them like it.

As much as Democrats detested Breitbart, I think their comrades in the media hated him even more. He shown a bright light on their liberal bias and unethical tactics on a regular and often amusing basis. To that point, the pimp outfit that James O'Keefe wore into Acorn is an all-time classic and had Breitbart's fingerprints all over it.

My favorite Breitbart moment was when he alone went into a large group of union goons who were protesting a Right Nation conference. He went from one to another and asked what they were protesting. Only one of the 10 or so people he asked could give him a straight answer. He made the rest look like impotent tools of the Left. In other words, morons.

Guys like Breitbart don't come along often and it's a shame for his family and all of us on the right that he left us so soon. Here's to carrying on his fight and sticking to the left with all we've got!
