Happy Marine Corps Birthday

Posted by: Hugh Hewitt at 10:13 AM

Happy USMC Birthday to the members of the Corps. Here's a guest post from Ronny, who served six years as a Marine Corps officer, including two tours in Iraq:

Hope is not security

“Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and having ears, hear not, the thing which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.”

This morning I read Patrick Henry’s words and was struck with their appropriateness for today. We have been involved in a Global War on Terror since September 11, 2001. Yet, we still look to negotiate with rogue nations that fund our enemies, we debate whether or not supporting our General’s needs is appropriate, and we fail to recognize and deal with radical ideology displayed before us until it kills.

How long will we choose to not see the truth before us? There is a radical ideology at work in the world that seeks to destroy the innocent. Over the years it has seeped into our neighborhoods, our military, and it will not stop until we fight it at ever opportunity. Radical jihad must be stopped, and the tone must be set by our Commander in Chief. Where is the clear strategy he promised while campaigning?

If we do not confront our enemies in our current campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan we will surely reap the consequences here on our own soil. The tragedy at Fort Hood will pale in comparison to an attack on a mall or elementary school, and that is the desire of our enemies. Indulgence in hope will not make our nation safe or secure.
The Global War on Terror is being fought on two major fronts right now, and our continued success in Iraq and Afghanistan cannot be thwarted if our President will commit to victory and provide the support that is needed by the men and women of our Military. If we stand now, and we commit, we can and will win. But, our leadership must listen to the men and women that wage the war for our defense and the defense of innocent people around the world. What better day than the birthday of The United States Marine Corps for the President to back up the General that he appointed.

Libertas! Another Wall That Needs To Come Down; Plus, Political Dissent Being Beaten Down In America

Posted by: Jude at 3:34 PM

On today's important anniversary, I suggest we consider one of the remaining victimes of the Cold War, the island/prison nation of proud people sitting only 90 miles off the Florida Coast.

The Cuban blogger Yoani Sanchez is an important voice for freedom and something of a web-celeb for her honest portrayals of life under the Castro regime, which she she continues to publish despite considerable obstacles. Political sites as disparate as The Huffington Post and Babalu Blog link to and spread Yoani's posts, helping to keep her words alive. Yoani has a fresh and very readable voice, more humane than strident, and of course it doesn't hurt that she is attractive and fairly young. Still, no matter how sympathetic the figure, The State will beat those who undermine it. Last week she was taken, along with several other bloggers, and beaten by government thugs. Her report of the incident can be found here on her blog, Generation Y, and here is an interview she gave to Mediaite.
She says something wonderfully profound about the power of the internet:

"Their main problem is that they don’t understand that these new phenomena can’t be fought with the old weapons of repression. They still haven’t understood the potential of the web, and that these repressive measures do nothing but increase the number of hits on my blog. They haven’t understood very well what is it that the new technologies do, nor the different effects that repression causes when a blogger is attacked. So they are just employing the old methods of restraint, intimidation, and attempting to isolate you. But they actually produce the opposite effect."

Maybe Obama could give her a shout-out.

It is worth mentioning that certain citizens are being targeted for their political beliefs here as well. Kenneth Gladney, who was beaten down and kicked by SEIU thugs while working as a vendor outside a Town Hall meeting. And here, via Breitbart, is a California state worker who says he was beaten bloody by other union members on the orders of of SEIU leaders. The union, of course, claims the lone man, Kenneth Hamidi was the aggressor, but you'll only see one person on the video with a big gash over his eye. Here is more on the story. Hamidi has been a vocal critic of Sacramento's SEIU local 1000, and has had the temerity to call the union corrupt while reporting on it for a local cable access show.

No "shout-outs" coming here either, I'm guessing. At this rate, maybe next Halloween people will be going out in purple SEIU shirts.

Memo To Pete Sessions and John Cornyn, Part 2

Posted by: Hugh Hewitt at 12:01 PM

I wrote on this last night and do so again to urge the NRSC and NRCC seize the moment.

Jim Geraghty is pulling together the sort of list and sort of information that the NRCC should be shoveling onto a website that will accept contributions dedicated to defeating the 20 most vulnerable Democrats who voted for Obamacare.

The NRSC should be gathering funds dedicated to defeating the most vulnerable Senate Democrats who vote for cloture.

This isn't rocket science.

Bill Bennett on The Wall and the Terrorist

Posted by: Hugh Hewitt at 9:55 AM

Bill Bennett writes at The Corner this morning on the bringing down of the Berlin Wall and of the terrorists who was allowed to remain in the Army.

Contrast Bennett's paragraphs with this piece from yesterday's "think piece" in the New York Times, "When Soldiers Snap." The same sort of cover-up by muffling and indirection is in today's lead piece in the Times: "Fort Hood Gunman Gave Signals Before His Rampage."

"Reviewing the Health Overhaul Bidding"

Posted by: Hugh Hewitt at 9:38 AM

The Monday morning column from Clark Judge:

Reviewing the Health Overhaul Bidding
By Clark S. Judge, managing director, White House Writers Group, Inc.

Let’s review the bidding now that Obama/Pelosicare has passed the House.

As reported here two weeks ago, according to one of the nation’s leading experts on the federal budget, former OBM deputy director and Hoover Institution economist John Cogan, by mid century without the president’s agenda, the federal spending including Medicare and Medicaid are on track to consume 34 percent of national income.

Memo for Pete Sessions (and John Cornyn)

Posted by: Hugh Hewitt at 12:10 AM

My Washington Examiner column asks the leaders of the National Republican Congressional Committee and the National Republican Senatorial Committee to use fundraising to send a message about the votes on Obamacare, and to use the votes on Obamacare to ignite fundraising for 2010.

If the party committees miss this obvious moment to staple the Obamacare vote onto the 20 most vulnerable House Democrats who voted for the Pelosi version of Obamacare, then the Club for Growth should step in and lead the charge. People will give generously to the campaigns against Democrats who voted for the House bill on Saturday night if they are guaranteed that the money will go to challengers in winnable races. Given the dozens of House Democrats from districts which John McCain either carried or came close to carrying, a target list of 20 from the 220 who voted for the bill should take about 10 minutes to develop, publish and organize a fund-raising push around.

Similarly, the NRCC (or the Club for Growth) could raise a lot of money if it was segregated into a fund to be given over to 2010 challengers of Senate Democrats who vote for cloture. If such a fund gets organized and underway right now, it could even help deter a Democrat or two from joining in the first cloture vote.

When tens of thousands of people travel to D.C. to try and stop Obamacare, you can be certain there are tens of thousands more who will contribute to war chests that are specifically set up to defeat the Democrats who made it happen.

The NRCC and the NRSC shouldn't miss this moment, nor should they try to raise generic money. Ask for funds to defeat incumbents who have already voted the wrong way on Obamacare, and pledge that those funds will be turned over to primary winners, not deployed to favored insiders or GOP incumbents. Activists opposed to Obamacare want their energy and money to go into specific efforts to stop Obamacare. If the GOP Congressional leadership doesn't seize the moment, you have to wonder if they will be able to use the momentum that has already been built against the Democratic majority.

The key is specificity: Against exactly which Democrats in which districts will the funds be used? Will the funds go exclusively to defeat Democrats up for election in 2010 who voted for cloture?

Creating Real Jobs: QuantumSphere and the Challenge of 2010

Posted by: Hugh Hewitt at 8:53 AM

As Congress shrugs off the stunning level of unemployment and busies itself with the next step in the job-destroying takeover of American medicine, it will do everyone a great bit of good --especially Members of Congress and their staffs-- to spend three minutes this weekend watching this video.

QuantumSphere is seven years old, founded and operated by a University of California Irvine grad in Santa Ana, one of the country's most impoverished cities, with capital he raised for himself. He employs 21 people in the invention and production of advanced materials and process chemistry used in a wide variety of products from batteries to industrial inks.

These are 21 jobs that didn't exist seven years ago, with an upside that is almost unimaginable. A true jobs strategy would concentrate on letting the founder and CEO, Kevin Maloney, keep plowing his profits back into growing his company. Cutting the taxes he pays not only allows him to hire more people, it benefits the stressed city of Santa Ana and the distressed state of California. And the nano-materials products QSI produces powers productivity gains in other companies and industries.

That's how jobs are really created and that's how real GDP growth is achieved. The past year in D.C. has been an exercise in unicorn wishing done by 535 legislators and one president with almost zero experience in ever creating even one job.

Much more damage will be done before this Congress can be replanned and the president replaced in 2013. But Tuesday's elections show that the country is very much aware of the disastrous course we are on and demonstrates that our votes can and will fix it in November 2010 and November 2012. While the thousands and thousands of Kevin Maloneys of the country do their best to stay in growth mode for the next three years, political activists need to do whatever they can to get resources to the pro-real growth candidates who will defeat incumbents who are simply ignorant of how an economy grows and with it a country's prosperity and security.

This weekend it would help slow down the Democrat-led rush to cripple the economy with the vast new taxes and regulations of Obamacare by sending a message to the Democratic majorities who are destroying the jobs of the United States that real change is coming. The very best way to do that is by sending contributions to two Republicans running for two Senate seats held by Democrats. If Senate Democrats see contributions pouring into the campaign coffers of Republican candidates running in toss-up states and they see it against the backdrop of this past Tuesday's votes in Virginia and New jersey, those who want to keep their jobs will pause, even if the funds are flowing into campaigns against their colleagues. They will know their turn is coming.

Congressman Mike Castle is running for the Delaware Senate seat previously held by Vice President Biden and for which the Vice President's son, Beau Biden, will be campaigning. Castle is a very popular figure in Delaware, a former governor, and the front-runner in the polls. All he will need are resources to put that seat in the GOP column. Castle is center-right, with an American Conservative Union lifetime rating of 52%. You can contribute online here.

Former Congressman Pat Toomey is running for the Senate seat held presently by Arlen Specter. Specter may not survive the Democratic primary, but either way, Toomey will be matched up a hyper-liberal a year from now. Toomey is a conservative's conservative --the former head of the Club for Growth. He is also an indefatigable campaigner. You can contribute online here.

To stop the country's economic slide --and its foreign policy confusion-- we need to elect both the center-right Castle and the conservative Toomey. If you are a conservative, you ought to contribute first to Castle, and if you are a moderate Republican, start with Toomey. Both men agree on cutting spending and restoring a tax policy that is growth oriented. Both oppose Obamacare. Each could use $25, $50, or $100 or more. Besides calling the congressmen and senators listed below to urge a no vote on Obamacare, take the 10 minutes and spend the $50, $100 0r $200 (or more) to fully fund the campaign ahead. Serious people can win next November, but they have to get funded now so that 15 months from now a new Congress appreciate of and not hostile to the QuantumSpheres of the world replaces the current wrecking crew.

The Hill's switchboard is 202-224-3121. Here's the list of Democratic Senators and "Blue Dog" House members who might still be persuaded to stop the job-killer that is Obamacare:

Indiana's Congressman Baron Hill Sells Out Indiana To Help Out Pelosi

Posted by: Hugh Hewitt at 7:33 PM

According to Politico.com, Indiana Congressman Baron Hill signed on to support Obamacare this afternoon, despite the massive cuts to Medicare it includes, despite its destruction of thousands of jobs via higher taxes and the so-called public option, and despite the embedded rationing.

Hill's district has gone back and forth between Democrat and Republican. it should decisively swing back to Republican, powered by senior citizens and everyone with health care insurance they presently have but which is now imperilled by Baron Hill and the Pelosi Democrats.

The Killer's Profile

Posted by: Hugh Hewitt at 8:50 AM

This Washington Post profile of the killer at Fort Hood will leave many inside the Army wondering who ought to have been responsible for removing him from the military. A caller yesterday raised the question of whether fear of being charged with anti-Muslim bigotry restrained his superiors and co-workers, and one can certainly see how cases like that of the flying Imams, discussed by Powerline's Scott Johnson here and here, can lead ordinary people to refuse to raise issues of concern about aberrant behavior by co-workers who are Muslim. Such reticence can only be remedied by a clearly articulated policy within the military of anonymity and protection for individuals who make reports of alarming behavior based upon anti-war/pro-jihadist statements.

To my surprise and dismay, Congress will not break even for a day to join the country in mourning.

Soldiers Angels and Fort Hood

Posted by: Hugh Hewitt at 7:31 PM

I have been assured by members of the Soldiers Angels family that they have many representatives in the Fort Hood area. If you'd like to help the efforts on behalf of victims of today's massacre, you can make a donation to SoldiersAngels.com and ask that it be directed to that effort.

Congress Is Going To Stay In Session?

Posted by: Hugh Hewitt at 6:32 PM

Texas Congressman Carter just said on Fox News that he would be flying to Texas to visit Fort Hood and then returning to D.C. in order to vote on the health care bill.

I find it very jarring that the House is remaining in session in the wake of a national tragedy and one directed at the military. I don't think I am alone in that regard, and I suspect Congress will reconsider the appropriateness of conducting a hugely important debate in the aftermath of this massacre when many Americans are simply stunned.

"Game Six" by Mark Frost (Bumped)

Posted by: Hugh Hewitt at 4:00 PM

This is a book you will really, really enjoy:

In yesterday's interview with Rudy Guiliani, transcript here, before turning to politics and the elections, I asked the mayor which baseball game had been the best he'd ever seen in person. You can read the transcript to see his answer.

Perhaps the best baseball game of my lifetime was Game Six of the 1975 World Series between the Reds and the Red Sox. The drama of that game and of the era in which it occurred is captured in a truly wonderful book by Mark Frost which you will find an incredible treat if you care even a lick about baseball.

Frost will join me for an hour on today's show, which just so happens to be the day of another Game Six.
