Memorial Day 2009 – Remembering Fallen Heroes

The Underground Conservative — Mon, 25 May 2009 05:07:52 +0000

Memorial Day.

It’s more than just another day off, a day to go shopping or enjoy a barbecue.

Take a moment to remember our fallen heroes.

Michelle Malkin has a great post about Memorial Day.

Teach your kids about it.

As a veteran myself, I salute those who have fallen and those who are still in harm’s way today.

God bless them and their families and keep them safe.

Another fake anti-war iraq vet

A former mental patient claiming to be an anti-war Iraq veteran got busted. Michelle Malkin has the details:

“Rick Duncan” of Colorado Springs was a prominent anti-war activist who claimed to have served in Iraq on three tours of duty AND survived the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon. He has now been unmasked as a lying mental patient.

Michelle Malkin also notes he’s not the first. This dude had been quoted by media extensively as an authority on veterans’ issues and he was a fake. No doubt it happened because the so-called “journalists” he spoke to wanted to believe he was who he said he was. Finding an anti-war vet, even a fake one, is a like winning the lottery for the left.

O Farce One

One of the Air Force One jets (technically, there’s a small fleet at his disposal but only the plane he is riding on at the moment is called Air Force one and he wasn’t on this one) buzzed lower Manhattan today. Yeah, you know, near where that little incident known as 9/11 took place. And only a handful of people knew about it.

Doug Powers filling in for Michelle Malkin notes that it was all for… a photo op.

Gateway Pundit has video.

Meanwhile, we have the following exclusive photo (well, okay, photoSHOP):

O Farce One buzzing the Statue of Liberty for a lousy photo op.

Iowahawk’s latest is, as always, hilarious and so true. I’ll just give you the title-within-the-title:

Somali pirate hostage Captain Richard Phillips is a free man

The Underground Conservative — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 18:33:52 +0000

Thank the Lord, on Easter Day no less.

Captain Richard Phillips, who had been held hostage several days by Somali pirates in the Indian Ocean, was freed today. As Michelle Malkin notes, it appears that Captain Phillips escaped a second time and this time, the US Navy moved in and killed at least three of the pirates.

Word is one of the pirates was captured. No word on whether or not he will be waterboarded (or worse).

It turns out Captain Phillips had basically allowed himself to be captured to buy time for his crew to lock themselves into a cabin and avoid capture themselves. What a hero.

I’m surprised Barack “America is not a Christian nation” Obama allowed this to happen. I won’t be surprised if when he tries to take credit for the rescue, though.
