By Kyle E. Moore | September 25, 2007

I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.

This is the oath that all members of the military must take upon being accepted as a soldier, a sailor, a marine, or an airman. You raise your right hand, and you repeat it following a dictation by a superior officer.

I've taken this oath twice, and the words still hold a special meaning for me. They mean that you understand that there is something greater than your own individual existence, and that you will lay down that existence for the sake of the United States of America.

This mini-documentary represents a valuable defense of the U.N. I am aware this is a hot issue with Libertarians and many Republican and will likely be brushed off as Liberal propaganda. That would be a mistake. Short of the FoxNEWS jab, which seems a bit on the intentionally deceptive side - Fox can not be the only network with trucks parked a the U.N. on a daily basis (I will give Daniel Noel the benefit of the doubt on this one and write it off as a cheap shot at an easy target) - it is very engaging and informative.

I give Liberty News and Daniel Noel two thumbs up for Defending the United Nations.

A little birdy just dropped me some information I thought you all might appreciate... "Last week Bob Casey's campaign asked, 'Who owns Rick Santorum?' The answer is, the same people who own Bob Casey." That's right folks, it would appear that the Democratic party's annointed candidate has been right all along to keep his mouth shut because when it opens it gets filled with feet! Read More

By now all of you have likely heard about Pat Robertson's call to assassinate Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, but if not here it is.

"We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability," Robertson said during Monday broadcast of his religious "The 700 Club" program.
"We don't need another $200 billion war to get rid of one, you know, strong-arm dictator," he continued. "It's a whole lot easier to have some of the covert operatives do the job and then get it over with."

Now that's a fiscal conservative looking out for our bottom line eh? In support of Pat's mission (snark) I have come up with a new t-shirt design, what do you think?

This is a crossposting from Comments From Left Field.

Many thanks to Mark Crispin Miller for posting the full audio of a speech given by Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) at a private party in Georgia on August 2. I have clipped out the relevant two minutes of this speech and transcribed it for everyone to see. Bottom line, Schumer admits to, in effect, a new Democratic strategy whereby he and the DSCC leadership will choose who will run against vulnerable Republicans. The case he uses is our own fight for the seat held by Rick Santorum. Read More

Come one, come all! Take your best shot in the blogosphere's first Rename Robert Novak Contest. Seriously, douche bags everywhere need to get their good name back.

Robert Novak is being called "The Douchebag of Liberty," and I must protest. It is true, Novak and douche bags both do dirty work, but the similarities end there. An actual douche bag cleans a vagina. Although it is a dirty job, it is honorable work...

This morning I turned on my Sirius satellite radio to tune in to Air America Radio 143 and Morning Sedition, which has been my usual morning routine since December of last year, yet the strangest thing happened, it was gone. In it's place was duplicate programming from Sirius Left which usually resides one channel down the dial at 143. Now I have to say, the only reason I purchased Sirius was to get Air America. Of course I have greatly enjoyed the other programming but the main purpose was Air Amercia. So, after fumbling through their website to find a customer service number I called up Sirius only to be told that Air America decided to drop Sirius to go exclusively with XM. WTF?

On Bolton and a Lack of Reasoned Thought

So I was watching CSPAN's Washington Journal yesterday morning over a cup of coffee when the question over the Bolton nomination came up. If you are unfamiliar with Washington Journal then you should know that it is one of the more open forums for political discussion on the "air waves" in America. The host pulls out the morning papers that have been highlighted to death and starts asking questions of the public. "What do you think about the battle in congress over President Bush's U.N. nominee John Bolton? Democrats call 1-800-xxx-xxxx, Independents call 1-800-xxx-xxxx, and Republicans call 1800-xxx-xxxx." What ensues is a range of calls that run the gamut from enlightened commentary to surreal, often bizarre rants. Read More

Cheney Succeeds in Blocking Inquiry

Nearly a year ago I wrote about the case of Cheney vs. U.S. District Court in which two organizations, The Sierra Club and Judicial Watch, were seeking the release of papers related to Cheney's energy task force. The organizations believe that those papers, if released, would reveal the extent to which energy industry insiders (think Ken Lay of Enron) played a role in shaping the Bush administrations energy policy. Unfortunately it would appear that any chance of those papers seeing the light of day has now been dashed as the result of an appeals court ruling by Reagan appointee Judge Emmet G. Sullivan of The Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Read More

The race to unseat Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum (R) is arguably the most contentious and likely the most important race of the 2006 mid-term election cycle. Some are saying that Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R) is not long for this position and, assuming the Republicans continue to hold onto a majority of seats and Santorum is to win, he will be the next in line for the role of Majority Leader. This prospect has so frightened moderate Democrats like Hillary Clinton (D), Chuck Schumer (D), and PA Governor Ed Rendell that they all took the unprecedented measure of backing a candidate more than a year before the Democratic primary.

Bush Planned to "Take Out" Saddam Prior to Being Elected

In an interview with Amy Goodman for DemocracyNOW, the Editor in Chief of The Arab American News, Osama Siblani, discussed a meeting he had with then Governor George W. Bush.

AMY GOODMAN: You met with the President of the United States?
OSAMA SIBLANI: Yes, when he was running for election in May of 2000 when he was a governor. He told me just straight to my face, among 12 or maybe 13 republicans at that time here in Michigan at the hotel. I think it was on May 17, 2000, even before he became the nominee for the Republicans. He told me that he was going to take him out, when we talked about Saddam Hussein in Iraq. And I said, 'Well, you know, I totally disagree with you. You just can't go around taking leaders out of their countries, you know. Let the Iraqi people do it. They can't do it on empty stomachs. Lift sanctions. Keep the pressure on Saddam Hussein, but lift the sanctions on the Iraqi people. People can't make moves on an empty stomach. Once they start establishing, you know, a connection with the United States and helping democracy inside, they will overthrow him.'
