"Stand and deliver, the way a Progressive cannot"

Navy reservist Smitty at The Other McCain has received orders to activate in mid-November and report to Kabul, Afghanistan in time for Christmas. He's asked that readers make his "now you sunny beaches know how I feel" statement the single most linked post in the history of that blog. Here's my humble link, offered with gratitude and a prayer.  A taste of what you'll find there:

Liberty ain’t cheap, and rejecting Progressivism may resemble pain for a while. That’s not pain. That’s Socialist weakness leaving the country, and don’t let these liars sell you otherwise.  Stand and deliver, the way a Progressive cannot, for, at heart, modern Progressivism is a synonym for cowardice.

Another patriot and blogger par excellence who is shortly being sent to an area of combat operations is Trestin Meacham, whose blog you really must visit if you aren't already a fan. Trestin's thoughtful analysis always cuts right to the heart of the matter. Trestin, who has been serving in Korea, is going to Dijbouti on the horn of Africa, which is sandwiched between Somalia, Ethiopia, and Yemen. He goes with the gratitude and prayers of his readers.

Without military guardians like Smitty and Trestin protecting this nation with talent, strength, and common sense, our liberties wouldn't have a chance. Under their protection, we can sleep at night.
