He is a self-made multi-, multi-millionaire; he has served as Governor of Massachusetts; he was in charge of the Winter Olympics one year; he is running for the Republican nomination for President of the United States. Romney has also raised five very promising sons -- each of whom became an Eagle Scout, played sports, follows their fathers' Mormon faith, and graduated from Harvard. Each son is clearly the child of privilege.<br /><br />One thing that Mitt Romney never did was serve in the military. He got a missionary deferment during the VietNam war, no big deal.<br /><br />Now, let's look at those five sons again. I failed to mention that each one of those five sons has been and is of an age to make military service very feasible. I failed to mention that not one of the five sons -- again, just like his father -- has served A DAY in the military. I said I would not beat up on the Father for his lack of military service, but I will look at his sons in a more critical light. During the last five or so years, our country has been involved in a war against Islamofascists in both Afghanistan and Iraq. That war has cost almost 4000 individuals their lives,to say nothing of the army of wounded and maimed. This is t<a href="http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2007/08/mitt_and_the_chickenhawk_probl.html">he point of Froma Harrop excellent piece in RCP here</a>.<br /><br />How is that, during this time of crisis, during this time of being attacked by our enemies, not ONE of Mitt's sons -- each of whom is the creme de la creme of American society -- found it worth his time to serve A SINGLE DAY in the military -- not even in the Guard (like Senator Biden's son) or the reserves (like Congressman Hunter's son), let alone active duty.<br /><br />I think i see a pattern here: These boys are no rebels; they are remarkable for their maturity. Indeed they have followed their father's lead meticulously: He went to Harvard (Grad School); they went to Harvard; he lived a Boy Scout-like life, they became Eagle Scouts; he lived life as a devout Mormon, they each became Mormons.<br /><br />Get my point? My take is that the MAIN REASON not ONE of Romney's sons served even ONE day in the military is because their father did NOT put a premium on military service. The virtues of the vocation of arms was not extolled in the Romney household.<br /><br />Again, the tipping point is that this has been DURING WAR TIME.<br /><br />Moreover, Romney has been calling for a "stronger" military and has indicated that he is willing to use it if elected President -- and for that I am happy, as I do not want another Jimmy Carter in the White House.<br /><br />Nonetheless, I am troubled at Mitt Romney's lack of cognitive dissonance over campaigning about sending our boys in harm's way when not one of his sons has served.<br /><br />That's right: He appears to be eager to send OTHER people's children into combat. After all, the Romney's are rich and elite and should not be expected to serve in such a menial capacity.<br /><br />Even worse, as far as I can gather, NOT ONE of the Romney boys has served a day of his life in CIVILIAN Federal service, either.<br /><br />Memo to Mitt Romney: Read the life of fellow Harvard man Teddy Roosevelt, who as a mature man, resigned his post as Secretary of the Navy to help lead the Roughriders up San Juan Hill.<br /><br />But, then, I think TR was made of tougher -- and more patriotic -- stuff than Mitt Romeney.GunJamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05453976088095749629noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13728315.post-16085368551146633022007-08-16T22:50:00.000-07:002007-08-17T04:16:52.818-07:00Martinez Running AmokAnother blot on the Bush legacy is the mismatched appointment of (junior) quisling (on amnesty) Senator Mel Martinez (RINO-FL) to the position of chairman of the Republican National Committee. <br /><br />Martinez shares Bush's Washington-elite-insider's view on amnesty and immigration -- a view that the Republican base recently repudiated in no uncertain terms.<br /><br />Now that <a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070816/EDITORIAL/108160006/1013">the candidates are responding (or, at least pretending to respond) to the wishes of the base during their pre-primary campaigns, Mr. Martinez has taken it upon hnimself to "correct" them</a>.<br /><br />This guy is very thickheaded.

Enemy??!!Sometimes Obama says things that impress me (as in keeping an open mind about unilateral military action in Pakistan).<br /><br />More often he dismays me, <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8R0GAQG0&show_article=1">as in this story, where he claims that US policy in Afghanistan is characterized by our aircraft's bombing of villages and killing civilians</a>.<br /><br />What, Obama?<br /><br />Hey, Obama, let me ask you:<br /><br />1. Can you please name ONE war where NO civilians were killed?<br />2. How many civilians in Afghanistan do you suppose the Taliban are killing?<br />3. Do you know you have been suckered in by the Taliban's Number ONE weapon? That weapon is propaganda, where every Taliban warrior is upon the occasion of his death instantly transformed into an Afghan "civilian."<br />4. Do you know that one of the terrorists prime tactics is to run and hide among civilians in the knowledge that if we kill them, civilians will die, also. (Are you suggesting that we should permit them to hide among civilians unscathed?)<br /><br />Update: Mitt Romney (who is NOT my favorite candidate) <a href="http://www.examiner.com/a-880543~Obama_s_comments_on_Afghanistan_draw_sharp_rebuke_from_Romney_campaign.html">was clever enough to pick up on this Obama gaff and jump on it with both feet</a>.

Arguably no one was more affected by this shift in fortunes than young black athletes who opted for football and basketball in overwhelming numbers.<br /><br />I love baseball. Black athletes are part of that tradition. Time to get little league and Legion ball teams going in the inner city. Also, now that many blacks are living in the suburbs, more effort needs to be made to recruit young black suburban kids to play little league, as well.<br /><br />Not every young black athlete is a Michael Jordan or a Jim Brown. Some are Bob Gibsons, Ernie Bankses, or Frank Robinsons.GunJamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05453976088095749629noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13728315.post-23644220421599673252007-08-13T19:57:00.000-07:002007-08-13T20:00:06.348-07:00Saudi Music Video -- Not Bad (Except for the Repeated Obligatory Insertion of Praying Towards Mecca)I like <a href="m/watch?v=zotWQdYCRIM">the song.
