Inspiring America with Newt

A series of debates, town halls and media events have led us to a handful of primary voting locations across America where the Republican field has whittled the number candidates racing for the White House down to four. The narrative of all candidates as a collective has been in full opposition to the Obama doctrine, a doctrine which is a moving target that appeases all issues and topics with no foundation except that of distribution of everything.

One must look now at the four that remain standing and the numbers that track their vote and electability ranking. To break in down simply is to say the electorate is just damned stupid when Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul are not receiving the lion share of the ballots that are cast. Kudos to Paul as he speaks only to the messages of liberty, the debt and the exit of occupational forces in foreign countries without define mission objectives.

Newt Gingrich on the other hand speaks to those same issues as Paul, however Newt serves up much more for the sake of America and the alleged engaged population is too indoctrinated to hear Newt’s solutions.

Newt has a long history of thinking out of the box where concepts are offered that are innovative and refreshing. Newt has played the DC hustle game and that demonstrates he can stand toe to toe with the progressives as required to advance America, so yes, Newt was and is a hustler. As I see it however, you cant bullshit a bullshitter and Newt has the savvy to spot a bullshitter wherever they roam.

As a history professor, owning a PhD, Newt has a skill set that breaks down an issue to its core, a speaking ability to keep the argument simple and well defined. Americans are still too comfortable to seek the reconstruction that is required in all of DC for which Newt argues to achieve.

Newt is bold as demonstrated by having no fear to examine all that ails America as he has authored countless summaries, solutions and books that speak to re-tooling DC politics and has published all of them in various forms for the electorate to read, but have they read them? I submit the answer is no, as voters are too apathetic to perform their respective duty as a citizen to engage often as the sheriff of government.

Washington DC has been a nasty and nefarious machine whose engine operates with unlimited fuel sources paid for by lobby networks and media since the early 1900’s. Newt is telling America that he has no fear to throw sand in the gears of that engine to neutralize the transmission of a runaway vehicle.

America must embrace new century innovations and be inspired to look for creative conceptual restoration of government. America cannot grow and expand into the future with old tired business as usual playbooks. We dont need minimum wage and we dont need government schools. We cant prosper with a damning of growth tax code and we can fund a United Nations, NGO’s or the Millennium Challenge or the Merida Initiative where money goes offshore for projects that are outside the scope of America’s best interest without a voice in how those funds are spent. The list is long, yet if the electorate would stop casting ballots for personal reasons and vote for the sake or our country and her future, then Newt’s mission objectives is the clear choice. Newt does not only tell you this verbally but he has written and published the same. Remember the written word is more powerful than the spoken, so go visit his site at Newt.org and learn it, which is your duty as a citizen.

Our Treasured Military, Used for Political Capital

Dear Officers:

It is now confirmed. The wolves are among the flock, deep inside the comfort zone of the Pentagon, and the proverbial blood is flowing across all ranks and branches. Dignity, comradeship, and trust are being slaughtered within the ranks of the military. Not just in the active ranks, but also among the retired corps. The carnage is robust and festering; without as much as a whimper.
In three short years, the grip of the politically liberal vise has gained much momentum. Now command and control is best defined as fractured, discordant, and abysmally petty. In the hands of many using politics, posturing, and intimidation tactics, unyielding political weapons are being employed in a full assault on the high standing and code of honor of each soldier that wears or wore a uniform.
One such manifestation of this erosion of the fabric of our military is the Major Nadal Hassan rampage. Hassan, a soldier with an extreme ideological bent was repeatedly and deliberately overlooked because of his Muslim roots to the point that he killed his fellow soldiers on a military base here at home when he should have been stopped long before this heinous event.
This is but one symptom of a now common practice to over-look possible collateral damage because of political correctness run amok. This new battlefield, on our own soil, is due to fear of reprisal, failed leadership, silent voices, the ‘steady paycheck mentality’, and utter apathy.
The most recent event in this politically correct environment is the Army’s sensitivity program forcing combat veterans and NCO’s to participate by wearing fake breasts and empathy bellies under their uniforms. This is now taking place in conjunction with a worldwide program developed in 2008 that demands sensitivity among men for their pregnant female counterparts. This amounts to an almost deliberate mission to crush the esteem of men in uniform. The Commander in Chief and the Senate either approved this program or assumed default approval positions by not stepping in and halting it.
The examples continue, and now there is new text and definitions for hostilities and what constitutes imminent danger. These have worked to alter the hazardous duty pay-scale for troops to save $255 per month, per assignment, all to meet the eventual $1 trillion Department of Defense austerity objective over ten years. Ironically, the pay-scale of those with desk jobs in Washington DC is not affected.
Facing live fire, IED’s, SAM missiles, and asymmetrical enemies and other weapons, on any battlefield or in the air, is in fact imminent danger! These are dangers that must not be dismissed by decision-makers for the sake of job security, bloated and wasteful government elsewhere, and political ideology.
Then there are the events where political capital earned great dividends. Yes, Osama bin Laden has been sought for ten years, and when he was discovered in a compound in Abbottabad, Seal Team Six was sent in by Obama and the rest is history. Or is it? Since that day, the story has been trotted out on numerous occasions, often for political gain. Whether it was a State of the Union speech, a stump speech, or the incessant ‘talking points’ uttered by the Vice President, White House staffers, and certainly not last, the Obama apologists and ardent supporters on media talk shows.
Months later, in Wardak, Afghanistan, an RPG ambush occurred. Why? Because the enemy knew they were coming. How? Because the media knew – the White House and others told them, and then the world knew. This event meant the death of thirty eight similar elite forces and some Afghans aboard a Chinook helicopter. Once again, worldwide airwaves caused in part many sons and daughters without fathers, wives without soul-mates and parents mourning as they have out-lived their sons.
Topping the use of the bin Laden episode for political gain, we have the incredibly bad decision by the White House and the Pentagon to release highly sensitive material. To who was it released? Not an ally for use in the battle on terrorism, rather, it was granted to a movie producer for the production of a big screen project scheduled to be released in October, begging the question, by whose authority?
There is a body of rules that the Commander in Chief and the Secretary of Defense must enforce, yet these rules are ignored – another egregious chapter in military history.
Our youth join your branches of service, they endure boot camp, then perhaps flight school, or sniper school, or intelligence training where upon graduation, the hearts and minds of a new fraternity become faithful masters and stewards of your craft. The goal of these efforts is to triumph together in the common cause of protecting all our national security interests. Soon, with promotion, when each bar, star, and pin is earned, there is pride, esprit de corps, and a custom to uphold and defend, the culture of courage that is taught within the armed services. Journeys are before each member wearing the uniform. These culminate in mission objectives to be achieved, victories realized, and the continuation of the annals of success in American history.
All Officers, from current and past eras, must mentor each among you to nurture the integrity, the will, the scope of defense for the protection on America. Your history, your experience, your knowledge as officers is a very precious instrument required to restore the honor of the Armed Forces. You are called upon to muster and inspire the rank and file at the Department of Defense.
The White House and all agencies must trample the pages of the UCMJ no longer. This callous disregard is a threat to the moral character of the uniform and the narrative belongs to you officers. You must rise up and begin to correct these defects. You are obliged to restore and adopt a posture to cure this twisting of your command and control while setting aside the division, the dissention, and the politics.
Requests for retirement have reached a level so high that it has become policy at the Pentagon to respond with a stamp of “not approved” to keep the numbers up while augmentation is attached, as they plan to pare back at the same time.
As one analyzes the words of people with standing at the Pentagon carefully, it is apparent that opposing sides have been drawn with regard to loyalty, oaths, and political correctness. Missions are assigned that create leadership divisions among the corps, regardless of branch. We are on a feeble and soft foundation today as America embarks on an epic conflict in the Middle East, Asia, and perhaps even South America. The United States military cannot perform on this fragile footing. She has come too far and gained too much through the expense of her blood and treasure, we cannot be idle.

You can no longer be taciturn with your interaction to the civilian leadership that has mandated a cultural thought process that is in complete opposition to the legacy of the military doctrine.
General Robert E. Lee authored a letter to General John B. Hood in 1863, shortly before the Gettysburg address that read, “I agree with you that our Army would be invincible if it could properly be organized and officered. There never were such men in an Army before. They will go anywhere and do anything if properly led. But there is the difficulty, proper commanders, where can they be obtained?”
Senator William F. Knowland noted that:
Article I of the Constitution gives the power to declare war to the Congress and not to the Executive, We are apparently now, drifting into a twilight constitutional zone where the executive can put us into war, the fourth largest in our history, without a Congressional declaration or a Congressional resolution recognizing that a state of war started by others already exists.
When Congress acts under its constitutional power, every statement for or against the resolution are part of the Congressional Record, and the press and the public are fully informed. The roll-call vote shows how each Member voted. This is responsible and accountable government.
If five or seven men can meet in a closed session in the Blair House or the White House, and put this nation into the fourth largest war from a casualty standpoint in our history, without their statements and recommendations being recorded or available, and without their positions on this matter being known, we have the war-making power transferred from the Congress, operating in the open, to the Executive, operating en camera. That is not, I submit, either responsible or accountable government.”


The time is short, restoration is in dire need. You must leave behind the whimpers, find the fire in your voice and you must force multiply for the sake of America’s future days, for we can no longer tolerate the shame and indifference. Those buried in the hallowed grounds of Arlington and other cemeteries across the land, with or without the caisson, under the glory of our Nation’s flag, are a tribute to the old guard and sentinels for America. Should they speak from their marble headstones, they would ask as I do, how can you be silent anymore?

Respectfully yours, a mere faithful civilian,

White House uses Military as Political Pawns

Honor the Uniform, Troops are not Fodder for the White House

No truer words have been spoken than those of a retired General who said publically, ‘Get the Hell out of the Media”. Make no mistake America, the Commander in Chief and his fellow anti-military friend Leon Panetta, Secretary of Defense has actually weaponized a stealth plan against our true coveted weapon, our military. This entire Obama doctrine has been to demoralize the military and has spilled over into the ranks of the Special Forces and the Central Intelligence Agency that aid and support the fight against all National Security interests including our allies. This administration has their own hired snipers that use the lethal weapons of money, propaganda and politics to advance their agenda of demoralizing our military. Only this week has political correctness by taking God out of the Air Force patch, when prayers to God is the silent but true faith that keeps our forces in the fight for a safe return home and execution of battle plans.  Seal Team 6 has been in the media at the behest of the Pentagon and the White House as a political tool since the alleged take down of Osama bin Ladin. Since that worked so well, the Pentagon has curried favor with Hollywood with the approval of the White House and released highly classified intelligence to Sony Entertainment for a movie that is in production and slated to be released in October. We then are witness to the Pentagon playing foul with troop pay for redefining the scale of wages on combat pay and imminent danger pay all in an effort to save $255.00 per month per soldier in the field of battle.

The White House has ordered the Pentagon to gut the spending allowed by defense by more than $1 trillion dollars and this is play havoc with our aging assets including air craft carriers and aircraft. The Pentagon has terminated troops across all branches in favor of Special Forces as the preferred boots on the ground as occupational forces have left Iraq and are slated to exit Afghanistan earlier than the 2014 scheduled date. Has anyone taken a hard look at the build up of military assets of our enemies? We are embarking on a war with Iran, Syria and Russia. Get armed America and support our military, for they are demoralized, hence the high suicide rate.
