May God Bless Dick Cheney!
Former VP Dick Cheney is in an enviable position nowadays.
Freed of the constraints of most politicians– the necessity of being politic in everything they say and do in order to not ruffle any feathers when they run for office again–Cheney is not and no doubt will not ever again seek political office and can say and do anything he damned well pleases.
And he does.
Cheney would probably be more circumspect if his Republican Party were in power in Washington but since it isn’t he has virtual carte blanche to speak his piece.
And he does, in spades.
Characterized by his detractors, who number in the tens of thousands or millions, as everything from an angry curmudgeon to a radical to Republican attack dog to literally insane, Cheney is none of the above. He’s simply a man, a committed patriot, a loving husband and father, and the biggest, most painful thorn in the arses of Democrats since Joe McCarthy.
At this stage of his life, the 69 year old Richard Bruce “Dick” Cheney has just about done it all and could be expected to kick back and just enjoy life at his Jackson, Wyoming or McLean, Virginia digs, but then he wouldn’t be Dick Cheney. . .

Terrorism 101, Semester Two
Terrorism 101, Semester Two
An Open Letter to President Barack Hussein Obama:
Dear President Obama:
Ok, look Barry, if I may call you by your pre-Barack nickname, I’d like to speak very frankly since this is no time in our nation to be hemming and hawing. Do consider this a follow-up to Semester One, which I’m certain you read.
It dealt with your declaration of war against al Qaeda, Janet Napolitano, your AWOL security people like Leon Panetta and John Leiter. Remember now?
Anyway, I understand you came into office with an agenda and I know you’re woefully inexperienced but I was curious, Are you comfortable in your own skin yet, sitting in the Oval Office? Honestly, more than a year later, I still can’t believe Americans elected you as our president but what’s done is done so let’s try to make the best of it, ok?
I want to pont out that imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery but imitation when there are no parallels is the gravest form of pretension.
Thus, when you said Thursday, “The [anti-terror] buck stops with me,” a line you also used back in May with regard to the AIG bailout, the clear intent was to imply that you were taking full responsibility for the “systemic failure” that allowed the Christmas Day near-catastrophe.
That’s all very well and good, a tough terror facade, but glomming President Harry S Truman’s desk sign, “The buck stops here” doesn’t accord you any of Truman’s grit, resolve, or sense of patriotism. For all Harry’s flaws, he was a pretty good president.
Barry, I didn’t know Harry but you’re no Harry. There are no parallels with you aside from his being a Democrat.
Words without deeds to back them up are cheaper than cheap, especially with Islamic jihadists who consider mere words as a sign of weakness.
What are you going to do with that buck now that you have it?
Are you even aware that on the same day you were talking about stopping bucks and declaring war on al Qaeda that the Christmas underwear bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was being indicted as a common criminal in Detroit?
He’s a very uncommon criminal and Islamic terrorists aren’t very nice people.
