US Soldier Chews Out Iraqi Police
This video from 2009 may explain why ISIS had little trouble advancing in Iraq after Obama left the Iraqi people to fend for themselves. In the clip a US soldier chews out the timid Iraqi police with some good old morale building drill sergeant motivation.
Could there be a bigger difference between this soldier and his Community Organizer In Chief?
Language Warning
You thought Christian Bale could toss the f-bomb with aplomb and threaten to kick someone’s ass?
That was just a cameraman. This cat threatens to kick Mahdi army’s asses personally. He uses the Paul Anka style of leadership to awesome effect.
A lot of f-bomb here, but worth it. Newsworthy, so you can get away with it, I think.
Obama: “I Promised To End The War In Iraq”
It was an applause line during almost every campaign address made by Obama in 2012:
“I promised to end the war in Iraq, and I did.” ~ Barack Hussein Obama
America longs for the days when the President was an upstanding responsible adult who took responsibility for his actions. It’s time to remove this spoiled teenager from the White House.
YET ANOTHER OBAMA LIE.
President Obama has made a career of pouncing on opportunities while skillfully dodging accountability. The economy, Benghazi, Fast and Furious, the IRS scandal none of if, according to Obama, was his fault. When it came to killing Osama Bin Laden (after we discovered his whereabouts using interrogation techniques abhorred by the left), one would have thought Barack pulled the trigger himself in Pakistan based on how he spiked the football.When it comes to Iraq, Obama has been a walking contradiction. He promised the left that if elected, he would end the war in Iraq in his first term. He failed.
Then, when it came time to remove troops, though common sense demanded otherwise, Obama announced the departure and promptly removed our troops to allow Iraq to be overrun by terrorists. He failed.
Now, with Iraq in shambles and Obama to blame, President Obama has begun to duck and dodge accountability once again and even asserted that it wasn’t “his decision” to remove troops.
As a matter of fact, that is precisely what a Commander-in-Chief does.
On Saturday, Obama refused accountability when a reporter asked,
“Mr. President, do you have any second thoughts about pulling all ground troops out of Iraq? And does it give you pause as the U.S.–is it doing the same thing in Afghanistan?”
Obama cravenly replied, (emphasis added) “What I just find interesting is the degree to which this issue keeps on coming up, as if this was my decision. Under the previous administration, we had turned over the country to a sovereign, democratically elected Iraqi government. In order for us to maintain troops in Iraq, we needed the invitation of the Iraqi government and we needed assurances that our personnel would be immune from prosecution if, for example, they were protecting themselves and ended up getting in a firefight with Iraqis, that they wouldn’t be hauled before an Iraqi judicial system.”
Thanks to a hilarious video compilation courtesy of The Washington Free Beacon, we can now see that not only was it Obama’s decision, but that he wouldn’t shut up about it.
Part of being a man is owning up to your failures. It seems that even by this meager test of character, Obama comes up wanting. Not only is Barack Obama a terrible president, he isn’t much of a man, either.
An American With A Remington
Country singers Larry Gatlin and Billy Dean recorded a video of a song they had just written with a special message to ISIS. The song, called “An American with a Remington”, is a shot across the bow of ISIS warning them that they will face fierce resistance from Americans, most likely coming from the barrel of a gun. They intend to actually record and release a studio version in the near future.
Hell Yeah!
When I do master classes in songwriting, I open the class by saying, “It was either Plato, or Socrates, or…(pregnant pause) Johnny Cash, who said, “Take me not to those who write your laws, for they will lie. Take me to those who write your songs, for they will not.”
Then, after another pregnant pause, I confess to my class the neither of the three above-mentioned great philosophers said that. Rather, it was a not so great philosopher, but a fairly decent songwriter who said it…me!!
That brings me to another songwriter, a great songwriter, a Grammy Award-winning songwriter, and a great friend, Billy Dean.
We sat down with our two guitars, our two hearts, our two God given talents, and our singular love for America, and poured our two hearts out in a song, “An American with a Remington.”
Last week, in Joplin, Missouri, Billy, my brothers Steve and Rudy and I, along with our buddies T.G. Sheppard and Leroy Van Dyke did a benefit for the tornado victims of Joplin.
Backstage Billy said, “Hey L.G., I have a song idea I want you to help me write.” When he sang the “hook line” I said, “I’m in. Let’s do it.”
So, last Tuesday night, at the Starlight Theatre in Branson, in the dressing room that Billy and I share, we sat down with our two guitars, our two hearts, our two God given talents, and our singular love for America, and poured our two hearts out in a song, “An American with a Remington.”
The response has been unbelievable — more than 15 million hits and thousands of “hurrahs” from like-minded Americans — in only five days.
Please know that neither Billy nor I are trigger happy cowboys lookin’ for a fight. We just know that the fight is looking for us and for all Americans.
So we decided as 2 of “those who write the songs” it was up to is to write the truth, because so many of those who write our laws will not.
In closing, I don’t know how my friend Billy Dean was brought up, but my dad, the Marine, Curly Gatlin, taught me to shoot with a Remington 12 gauge pump shotgun out in West Texas.
We ate what we shot. That was, and still is the deal for the Gatlins. If you trophy hunt, that’s your business. The Gatlins eat what we kill, or we make damn sure that someone who needs the meat gets the quail, dove, or venison.
So that’s the story about the song “An American with a Remington.” Billy and I hope you like it. If you don’t, that’s none of our business, but I will say this, a lot of good men and women have fought and died or have been wounded to preserve and protect your right to disagree and say so. Is America a great country or what?!
Yours truly,
Larry Gatlin, an American with a Remington
P.S. And Billy Dean, an American with a Remington
P.P.S. One thing J.R. Cash did say to me long ago was, “Pilgrim, if something makes you mad enough boy, you’ll damn sure write a song about it.” Well, J.R., Billy and I are mad as hell about those cowardly, beheading bastards, so we did just that!!
