Obama Authorizes Murder of US Citizen
The story of Obama's new stance on citizen-terrorists is from last week, but it bears repeating:
Obama Authorizes Murder Of A US Citizen.
No arrest. No charges. No trial. Just execution.
You have been warned.

Get Fit or Get Dead
The Armed Forces are beginning to feel the effects of American obesity and lack of exercise.
Lets hope we aren't attacked by a more physically fit nation.
Despite the military’s stress on physical fitness, many senior officers and noncommissioned officers I have spoken to are adamant in their beliefs that today’s soldiers are physically softer than the soldiers of yesteryear.
One recent study substantiates this notion, as a Pentagon estimate stated that close to one-third of youths in America are physically unfit to serve.
Lets hope we aren't attacked by a more physically fit nation.

China: Bow Down To Your Lender
China is now using its role as our lender to influence the terms of our health care reform:
Who would have thought health care reform could become a national security issue?
The Chinese are getting skeptical about our ability to pay them back. Perhaps they will need to teach us a lesson in capitalism, which would be ironic to the max.
In a July meeting, Chinese officials asked their American counterparts detailed questions about the health care legislation making its way through Congress. The president’s budget director, Peter R. Orszag, answered most of their questions. But the Chinese were not particularly interested in the public option or universal care for all Americans.
“They wanted to know, in painstaking detail, how the health care plan would affect the deficit,” one participant in the conversation recalled. Chinese officials expect that they will help finance whatever Congress and the White House settle on, mostly through buying Treasury debt, and like any banker, they wanted evidence that the United States had a plan to pay them back.
