Military Losses, 1980-2007
Whatever your politics, however you lean and however you feel about the current administration, this report is interesting.
As tragic as the loss of any member of the US Armed Forces is, consider the below statistics:
The annual fatalities, by any cause, of military members while actively serving in the armed forces from 1980 through 2006:
1980 2,392 (Carter)
1981 2,380 (Reagan)
1984 1,999 (Reagan)
1988 1,819 (Reagan)
1989 1,636 (George H W)
1990 1,508 (George H W)
1991 1,787 (George H W)
1992 1,293 (George H W)
1993 1,213 ( Clinton )
1994 1,075 ( Clinton )
1995 2,465 ( Clinton )
1996 2,318 ( Clinton )
1997 817 ( Clinton )
1998 2,252 ( Clinton )
1999 1,984 ( Clinton )
2000 1,983 ( Clinton )
2001 890 (George W)
2002 1,007 (George W)
2003 1,410 (George W)
2004 1,887 (George W)
2005 919 (George W)
2006 920 (George W)
2007 899 (George W)
Clinton years (1993-2000): 14,107 deaths
George W years (2001-2007): 7,932 deaths
Are you surprised when you look at these figures? They indicate the loss from the two latest Middle East conflicts are less than the loss of military personnel during Clinton 's presidency when America wasn't even involved in a war--unless you include Bosnia and Mogadishu , Somalia . (Remember "Blackhawk Down"?)
Even more surprising is that in 1980, during Carter presidency, there were 2,392 US military fatalities!These figures appear to indicate many members of our media and politicians pick and choose the information on which they report--that they present only those "facts" that support their agenda.
Consider the latest census of Americans. It shows the following distribution of American citizens by race:
European descent 69.12 percent
Hispanic 12.50 percent
Black 12.30 percent
Asian 1.81 percent
Native American 1.00 percent
Other 2.60 percent
Many members of the media lead us to believe the military death ratio is off balanced compared to the distribution by race in America . Here are the fatalities by race over the past three years in Iraqi Freedom.
European descent 74.31 percent
Hispanic 10.74 percent
Black 9.67 percent
Asian 1.81 percent
Native American 1.09 percent
Other 0.33 percent
Surprised again?
Hopefully, intelligent Americans can decipher-- the facts from the spin, the spinners from the leaders. those who seek even more power from those that seek justice, the dividers from the uniters.

Great old footage of Obama with an Afro....from Eric Heavner
Great old footage of your President... watch it and smile.... watch it a second time and listen to who took the economy down.... Thanks Eric
Watch the video on this site – a California site, the land of liberals. Mario Cuomo discusses the ‘affirmative action’ they pushed on the banks. This is proof, irrefutable proof, that the government forced the banks to make bad loans. Watch it and weep Bob. J And don’t gimme any crap about the Fox News clips in there. It’s Obama that’s making the statements, not Fox. He then tries to lay blame on everyone but the party and people who pushed the community reinvestment act. That would be him, Barney Frank and the rest of the bleedin’ democratic party.

And the Heritage Foundation estimates the true cost of this bailout to be in the range of THREE AND A HALF TRILLION. 3.5 trillion is approximately 100,000 years if you count seconds. Three and a half trillion. We’re doomed. The united states will be insolvent in 10 years. Completely insolvent.
Andrew Jackson said that we need a revolution every 25 years. I think we’re LONG overdue. According to Lou Dobbs tonight, there is a movement in California to OUST all politicians. Can you believe it? In California they’re enraged. The citizens are now beginning to rally in order to get rid of all their politicians.

Iraqi Police still need some work from Frank
War, like making sausage, is not always pretty to watch. This brave guy drops the F, P, and GD bomb once or twice so if you are one of those touchy feely types this may be a little tough for you to hear. Watch at your own risk!

Santelli for President
I was lucky enough to catch this live and thought it was beautiful. On a network bought and owned by Obama it was refreshing to see this. Charlie Gasparino, Larry Kudlow and Michelle Cabrero also opted for spirits instead of Koolaide at the CNBC Christmas Party.
Enjoy the video.

Obama stimulates the Rowdy Republican's Package by Mark
Cartoon sent in by Frank Collins
So how does it feel now that Obama has stimulated your package? I think it's great. I am already making big plans for my $8.00 a week........... what.....what??? I have to be employed to get my $8.00 a week.
Little Bush and the Democratics made sure I didn't get the last stimulus because I made too much money and Nobama and the boys and girl will make sure I won't get this one because I make to little...
Suddenly I'm feeling more violated than stimulated.
OK boys and girls, lets learn from the smartest people in the world, led by the smartest man in the world. If you personally go on a mad spending spree and buy everything you want, all the toys, vehicles, flat screens, 2nd and 3rd homes that you want, and your credit is starting to look a little out of sorts. There is a very simple and easy fix!
Have your own stimulus package. That's right folks the way to cure your irresponsible and overzealous spending spree is tadaaaaa.......... SPEND MORE!!!
Isn't that what we just did?
The truth of the matter is we just left a legacy for heirs of your yet unborn heirs. They will look back and cuss us to no end. Probably in Chinese and Spanish.
As I heard Walter Williams say the other day 'What makes us think we are any better than the Romans.'
Actually I would rather the President go to the Oval Office, close the door, and stimulate his own package, and just leave mine alone.
Where is Monica when the country needs her?
