We Need More People Like This

Check out this interview with Atlas Shrugs author Pamela Geller interviewing Lt. Col. Allan West.

This cat knows where it's at. I'll be finding out more about this guy.

One thing that he said that I really like, and what I believe encapsulates what it is to be an American: Col. West makes the observation that Hussein, who didn't grow up in America, never played Little League Baseball as a kid. This is one of those things that can be easily overlooked, but when someone points it out, it's a revelation. Hussein never played Little League; he DID NOT grow up as an American, yet he believes he understands the American people and knows what is best for us. The undiluted gall of this punk sickens me.

What Col. West says goes beyond just Little League. A lot of kids never play baseball, but most kids usually play some type of team sport: baseball, softball, football, hockey, basketball, volleyball, soccer, whatever...the point is they play, and youth sports leagues, whether town or city or church sponsored, are, like Col. West points out, an important thread in the American fabric. A thread that Hussein is not only missing but seems to relish not having.

Another wonderful observation by Col. West, which I completely agree with: even though Hussein likes to compare himself to Lincoln, he's really like Carter, but with one big difference. Whereas Carter might have been able to use the excuse of naivete, the Hussein administration is deliberately malicious to the American people.

Enough from me. Go watch the video, and tool around Atlas Shrugs while you're there.
