The term, “national security” has come to be synonymous with national defense. But given the geography of the United States, it’s unlikely we would ever need to use our defense forces to secure the homeland from an invading army. National security really has more to do with the protection of those critical infrastructures the loss or degradation of which would place the country in a position of economic and military vulnerability.

…le gay men who are the judges tell them that they need to be “more masculine” “like a panther on the hunt” and “act more like a man” (wtf???) I mean, what other show would have Nancy Grace’s boob popping out of her costume on national television? Hilarious! However, one thing about this show has stuck in my craw a little bit this year.

…et capitalism does not work and has never worked. Now allow me to summarize nine other major points made by the President – In today’s America, the hard work of the middle class benefits only the wealthy. The key to national prosperity lies with government regulation and oversight of all private business activity. Individualism is trumped by collectivism. Survival of the fittest is a myth. The only way out of our economic malaise is t…

… It appears that Obama’s UN-based threats of condemnation and possible sanctions do not intimidate this terrorist rogue nation as it continues to develop its nuclear weapons program. Obama’s advisers are rewriting our national security strategy plan to leave out all references to Islamic radicalism as a terrorist threat.

… In America, November 11th officially became known as Armistice Day through an act of Congress in 1926. However it wasn’t until some 12 years later, through a similar act of Congress that Armistice Day actually became a national holiday. In 1947 Congressman Edward H.

In my prior article, I mentioned and stressed the national pride created by the Space Program to the United States and it citizens. This is true.
