When
the U.S. supported the mujahedeen of Afghanistan in the early 1980s to
fight off the invading Soviets, it was seen as a good military move by
then-President Ronald Reagan.
Good, that is, until those
same mujahedeen went on to form al-Qaida under Osama bin Laden, launch
the Sept. 11 attacks and then fight U.S. troops on the battlefields of
Afghanstan. Reagan didn't look so wise, then.
Jump ahead 30+ years ... Syria ... same mujahedeen ...
Is history repeating itself? |

Obama Campaign Sues to Restrict Military Voting
by
Mike Flynn
President Barack Obama, along with many Democrats, likes to say that, while they may disagree with the GOP on many issues related to national security, they absolutely share their admiration and dedication to members of our armed forces. Obama, in particular, enjoys being seen visiting troops and having photos taken with members of our military. So, why is his campaign and the Democrat party suing to restrict their ability to vote in the upcoming election?
On July 17th, the Obama for America Campaign, the Democratic National Committee, and the Ohio Democratic Party filed suit in OH to strike down part of that state's law governing voting by members of the military. Their suit said that part of the law is "arbitrary" with "no discernible rational basis."Currently, Ohio allows the public to vote early in-person up until the Friday before the election. Members of the military are given three extra days to do so. While the Democrats may see this as "arbitrary" and having "no discernible rational basis," I think it is entirely reasonable given the demands on servicemen and women's time and their obligations to their sworn duty.
The National Defense Committee reports:
[f]or each of the last three years, the Department of Defense’s Federal Voting Assistance Program has reported to the President and the Congress that the number one reason for military voter disenfranchisement is inadequate time to successfully vote.I think it's unconscionable that we as a nation wouldn't make it as easy as possible for members of the military to vote. They arguably have more right to vote than the rest of us, since it is their service and sacrifice that ensures we have the right to vote in the first place.
If anyone proposes legislation to combat voter fraud, Democrats will loudly scream that the proposal could "disenfranchise" some voter, somewhere. We must ensure, they argue, that voting is easy and accessible to every single voter. Every voter, that is, except the men and women of our military.
Make no mistake, the Democrat lawsuit is intended to disenfranchise some unknown number of military voters. The judge should reject it with prejudice.

Senate defeated Senator Lieberman's Cybersecurity Act of 2012
Thanks to your efforts and those of thousands of liberty activists across the country, by a vote of 52-46, the Senate defeated Senator Lieberman's Cybersecurity Act of 2012 - for now.
Unfortunately, bad legislation frequently shares a trait with Hollywood movie villain, Freddy Krueger.
No matter how many times you kill it, it just keeps coming back.
As the statists continue to try and centralize control over the internet, you and I can guarantee this legislation will rear its ugly head again in September.
After using this August recess to regroup and refocus their attack, there is a real threat Harry Reid and his cronies will have the votes to shove this bill down our throats.
While today's victory will have defeated the so-called Cybersecurity Act momentarily, it's absolutely vital the liberty movement remain vigilant.
But for now, thank you for taking action to defeat this legislation, and if you're able, please chip-in $10 or $25 to help Campaign for Liberty continue to fight for Internet Freedom!
In Liberty,
Matt Hawes
Vice President
P.S. Thanks to your efforts and those of thousands of liberty activists across the country, today we defeated Lieberman's Cybersecurity Act of 2012 - for now.
Unfortunately, you and I can guarantee this legislation will once again rear its ugly head in September.
If you're able, please chip-in $10 or $25 to help Campaign for Liberty continue to fight for Internet Freedom!
