Joe Salazar (D-CO): My Top 10 Lady Tips For Avoiding Rape

Yo, ladies! Joe Salazar here. As you can tell from my picture, I've never had any problems attracting members of the opposite sex.


But even though I'm a musk-scented magnet for women, I'm sad to say not all men have my skills. Certain men can have problems in the area of inter-gender ice-breaking. Their troubles may cause them to stalk, attack, even assault women.

But since I'm a progressive -- and therefore a big supporter of gun-control and chicks -- I'm here to dispense my special, ladies-only advice for protecting yourself without firearms. I care about you, but I also care about a misunderstood, less well-adjusted male who gets his willie shot off just because you, in your hysterical woman-panic, thought he was gonna attack you.

So listen up, chicas, here are my top ten ways to avoid getting raped:

Number 10. Stop dressing like a ho.
Number 9. Try to relate to the attacker’s feelings.
Number 8. Trip your cutest friend and run like hell, while yelling “She’s a skank!”
Number 7. Whatever you do, avoid the Kennedy Compound.
Number 6. Wear a burka and never leave home without a male relative escorting you.
Number 5. At the top of your lungs scream: "I AM CURRENTLY ATTRACTING BEARS."
Number 4. Wait for global warming to cause a meteorite to hit your attacker.
Number 3. Don't be an underage girl in the Dominican Republic when Bob Menendez comes to visit.
Number 2. Urinate on yourself to ruin the mood (warning: may act as an aphrodisiac for Occupy Wall street participants).
Number 1. Ask your would-be rapist to follow you into a safe zone.

QOTD: "H.L. Mencken said: “Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard.” The 2012 Election makes the Sage of Baltimore’s quip ring true. All the bizarre political, sociological and economic theories that we have heard from the left for years are now being put into practice (in fact, President Obama showcased it in his Second Inaugural and State of the Union speeches). The result is a
germinating dystopia sprouting from an executive branch contemptuous of the legislative and judicial branches of national government. Barack Obama is the embodiment of a country in willful decline in both domestic and foreign affairs, and he seems to relish his role. The president is a political Dr. Jack Kevorkian assisting our slow, national suicide.

Maybe some future Gibbon will contemplate the wreckage." --Bill Croke

COLORADO DEMOCRAT: Women aren't smart enough to know if they're being raped, therefore don't deserve concealed carry protection

Misogynistic doesn't even begin to describe the crackpot Joe Salazar, if that is his real name.

There are some gender inequities on college campuses... that’s why we have call boxes, that’s why we have safe zones, that’s why we have the whistles. Because you just don’t know who you’re gonna be shooting at.


And you don’t know if you feel like you’re gonna be raped, or if you feel like someone’s been following you around or if you feel like you’re in trouble when you may actually not be, then you pop out that gun and you pop, pop around at somebody.

So women aren't smart enough to recognize when they are being violently assaulted?

Other Democrats are recommending equally effective strategies to rape whistles and safe zones:

If your life is in danger, passive resistance may be your best defense.

Tell your attacker that you have a disease or are menstruating.

Vomiting or urinating may also convince the attacker to leave you alone.

Unreal. These Democrats would useful only as comic relief were they not holding the reins of power.


POLICE: Sandy Hook killer copied massacre scene from one of the hundreds of violent video-games he played relentlessly

It would appear that Sandy Hook murderer [Sick Bastard] was living out a scene from one of his hundreds of violent videogames. And, despite numerous psychological problems, he was left alone for days at a time to engage in non-stop virtual carnage.

During a search of the Lanza home after the deadly school shootings, police found thousands of dollars worth of graphically violent video games.

And detectives working the scene of the massacre are exploring whether [Sick Bastard] might have been emulating ... a video-game scenario as he moved from room to room at Sandy Hook, spewing bullets, law enforcement sources have told The Courant.

Before he killed his mother and set off for Sandy Hook Elementary, [Sick Bastard] destroyed the hard drive on his computer, which probably kept some of the records of the games he played and who he played with. He also may have destroyed any chance to see if he had a manifesto or had written down anything indicating that he planned the shootings, or why he chose the elementary school...


...The amount of time [Sick Bastard] spent in the basement alone, playing video games, also has become a subject of police scrutiny, law-enforcement sources told The Courant. Police investigators scoured the house after the rampage and found Lanza's collection of video games in the basement game room.

...there were stretches when he was alone in the house for days at a time.

So [Sick Bastard] -- who had all sorts of emotional and psychological problems -- was left for days at a time, alone, playing violent videogames. Brilliant.

And Democrats love to talk about the powerful gun lobby, but no one has revealed what kind of pharmaceutical products [Sick Bastard] -- and the other mass-killers -- were using.


Update: Bob Owens has more.

Editor's Note: I refuse to use Sick Bastard's name. Other media outlets should do so as well.

Extremely valuable product review...

If you're in the market for Veet for Men Hair Removal Gel, this particular review may come in handy.


After having been told my danglies looked like an elderly rastafarian I decided to take the plunge and buy some of this as previous shaving attempts had only been mildly successful and I nearly put my back out trying to reach the more difficult bits. Being a bit of a romantic I thought I would do the deed on the missus's birthday as a bit of a treat.

I ordered it well in advance and working in the North Sea I considered myself a bit above some of the characters writing the previous reviews and wrote them off as soft office types... oh my fellow sufferers how wrong I was. I waited until the other half was tucked up in bed and after giving some vague hints about a special surprise I went down to the bathroom. Initially all went well and I applied the gel and stood waiting for something to happen. I didn't have long to wait.

At first there was a gentle warmth which in a matter of seconds was replaced by an intense burning and a feeling I can only describe as like being given a barbed wire wedgie by two people intent on hitting the ceiling with my head. Religion hadn't featured much in my life until that night but I suddenly became willing to convert to any religion to stop the violent burning around the turd tunnel and what seemed like the destruction of the meat and two veg.

Struggling to not bite through my bottom lip I tried to wash the gel of in the sink and only succeeded in blocking the plughole with a mat of hair. Through the haze of tears I struggled out of the bathroom across the hall into the kitchen by this time walking was not really possible and I crawled the final yard to the fridge in the hope of some form of cold relief. I yanked the freezer drawer out and found a tub of ice cream, tore the lid of and positioned it under me. The relief was fantastic but only temporary as it melted fairly quickly and the fiery stabbing soon returned.

Due to the shape of the ice cream tub I hadn't managed to give the starfish any treatment and I groped around in the drawer for something else as I was sure my vision was going to fail fairly soon.I grabbed a bag of what I later found out was frozen sprouts and tore it open trying to be quiet as I did so. I took a handful of them and tried in vain to clench some between the cheeks of my arse. This was not doing the trick as some of the gel had found it's way up the chutney channel and it felt like the space shuttle was running it's engines behind me.

This was probably and hopefully the only time in my life I was going to wish there was a gay snowman in the kitchen which should give you some idea of the depths I was willing to sink to in order to ease the pain. The only solution my pain crazed mind could come up with was to gently ease one of the sprouts where no veg had gone before.

Unfortunately, alerted by the strange grunts coming from the kitchen the other half chose that moment to come and investigate and was greeted by the sight of me, arse in the air, strawberry ice cream dripping from my bell end pushing a sprout up my arse while muttering..." Ooooh that feels good ". Understandably this was a shock to her and she let out a scream and as I hadn't heard her come in it caused an involuntary spasm of shock in myself which resulted in the sprout being ejected at quite some speed in her direction....

So to sum it up Veet removes hair, dignity and self respect...:)

The Most Serious Threat to Our Right to Keep and Bear Arms [Gary Marbut]

By Gary Marbut, President of the Montana Shooting Sports Association

I want to inform you about what I think is the most serious threat to our right to Keep and Bear Arms in the U.S. today, much more serious and real than anything Obama or Senator Dianne Feinstein can hope to get through Congress...

Without ammunition, ammunition components, and especially smokeless powder, our firearms are just awkward and expensive clubs – of no real use.

You may not know that there are only two facilities in the U.S. today that manufacture smokeless powder. All the rest is imported, from Canada, from Australia, from Scandinavia, from Israel, and elsewhere.

The sole two facilities in the U.S. are the General Dynamics plant in St. Marks, Florida, and the Alliant/ATK plant in Connecticut. Both General Dynamics and Alliant/ATK are giant government contractors. They make aircraft carriers, space vehicles and other very high-dollar stuff for the U.S. government.

If Obama were to lean on the Secretary of Defense to float the concern to General Dynamics and Alliant that their next aircraft carrier, submarine or space vehicle contract might be disapproved as long as they are supplying smokeless powder for civilian consumption and use, those sources would dry up overnight.

Tomorrow, the Secretary of State could sign a letter declaring a moratorium on the import of smokeless powder while the federal government studies the possible connections to “terrorism” or such. That supply would end immediately.

These two strokes could be accomplished without any bill ever being introduced in or passed by Congress, and without even an Executive Order – just simple administrative action.

Some people thought I was prescient when I wrote the Nation's first shooting range protection act for Montana in 1990 (passed in 1991), and when I wrote the Firearms Freedom Act for Montana in 2004 (passed in 2009).

I'm warning you now that our RKBA could be sunk administratively if we don't do something about it, now. I'm sounding the alarm!

The Second Amendment is under attack

You and I both know that the Second Amendment is under a full-bore attack from the "Progressive" Left.

QOTD: "If President Obama traipsed before the cameras in full regalia and announced that he was Napoleon, Republicans would count it a resounding victory if they could but convince him to take that funny hat off while indoors. John McCain would remind us that elections have consequences while Lindsey Graham would demurely disclose that, "I give him great discretion."

Want proof? Regarding the nomination of the supremely inept Chuck Hagel to be Secretary of Defense (Neville Chamberlain being indisposed at the moment), John McCain concluded, "No, I don't believe he's qualified. But I don't believe that we should hold up his nomination any further, because I think it's (been) a reasonable amount of time to have questions answered." Why not nominate Oprah then? It would take even less time to establish her lack of qualification to head the Department of Defense. " --Dave Carter

O/T - My Top Five TV Series

Ain't DVR and series on DVD awesome?

5. Homeland (Showtime) - If canvassed during its first year, the terrorism thriller Homeland would have ranked far higher on my list. But the season-ending episode in year one, featuring an imminent suicide bombing by Nicholas Brody thwarted with a last-minute "Oh, Daddy, please don't blow yourself up" phone call, jumped the shark for me. I still watch it, though it doesn't hold quite the same appeal.

4. Boardwalk Empire (HBO) - I'll admit this one grew slowly on me. As a huge fan of the Sopranos, I was honestly figuring this for a cheesy, twenties-era retread. But it's far more complex and infinitely more interesting than just a mob thriller. Rooted in historical fact, albeit with a significant helping of artistic license, corporate scions like Andrew Carnegie as well as rising mobsters like Al Capone and Lucky Luciano participate in the ascent of Nucky Thompson's prohibition-era Atlantic City.

3. Banshee (Cinemax) - New this year, Banshee features an ex-felon (the aptly named Lucas Hood) who can't seem to stay out of trouble. As he searches for his erstwhile (and beautiful) crime partner, whom he last saw holding millions in diamonds from their final heist, he becomes involved in an incident that offers him the opportunity to switch identities. He assumes the persona of the new sheriff of Banshee, Pennsylvania, an up-and-coming casino town controlled by a very organized crime syndicate.

2. Game of Thrones (HBO) - I think of this series as Tolkien for adults, with violence and sex on a scale that would have made poor old J.R.R. tremble with fear. A realm that once consisted of seven distinct kingdoms, Westeros begins to shatter when the King -- Robert Targaryen -- is killed during a hunting accident. Or was it murder? The nice thing about GoT is that there are no good and evil characters; it's more like reality. I mean, there's pure evil and only somewhat evil. The overarching protagonists -- the Stark clan -- are a family shattered as Westeros descends into war and chaos. Additional note: the books are excellent and the casting and writing of the television adaptation couldn't be more perfect.

1. Dexter (Showtime) - Yes, he's a serial killer. But he's a serial killer with a heart of gold. Miami blood spatter analyst Dexter Morgan reviews no shortage of crime scenes. And as the son of a cop, he knows how forensics can trap killers. But when the justice system breaks down, Morgan's code demands that he levy the ultimate punishment. And unlike GoT, the Dexter series of books are completely divorced from the series -- and that's a good thing.

Oh, it's true: I try to avoid all of the alphabet channels for obvious reasons. Update: And, no, I'm not paying for these channels. They were included free for six months as part of an incentive to sign up - and I spent much of the Christmas holiday watching entire seasons.

Whatchoo animals watching?


FULL TRANSCRIPT OF THE SPEECH YOU'VE BEEN HEARING ABOUT: Dr. Benjamin Carson Speaks Truth to Power

Awesome.

Thank you so much. Mr. President, Mr. Vice President, Mrs. Obama, distinguished guests - which included everybody. Thank you so much for this wonderful honor to be at this stage again. I was here 16 years ago, and the fact that they invited me back means that I didn't offend too many people, so that was great. [LAUGHTER]

I want to start by reading four texts which will put into I want to start by reading four texts which will put into context what I'm going to say.

Proverbs 11:9 With his mouth the Godless destroys his neighbor, but through knowledge the righteous escapes.

Proverbs 11:12 A man who lacks judgement derides his neighbor, but a man of understanding holds his tongue

Proverbs 11:25 A generous man will prosper. He who refreshes others will himself, be refreshed.

2nd Chronicles 7:14 If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and heal their land.

You know, I have an opportunity to speak in a lot of venues. This is my fourth speech this week. and I have an opportunity to talk to a lot of people. And I've been asking people what concerns you? What are you most concerned about in terms of the spirituality and the direction of our nation and our world? And I've talked to very prominent democrats, very prominent republicans. And I was surprised by the uniformity of their answers. And those have informed my comments this morning. now, it's not my intention to offend anyone. I have discovered, however, in recent years that it's very difficult to speak to a large group of people these days and not offend someone. [laughter]

A Little Gatling Motivation

Spotted at Ace's place.



ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER TRAGEDY IN CHICAGO: Student killed hours after sister attended Obama's speech

Another lovely young lady was murdered on the streets of Chicago just hours after President Obama's speech on gun control. Ironically, Chicago is the gun control capital of the U.S.; its strict laws on gun ownership and possession are so onerous they have been declared unconstitutional. And it is only because law-abiding citizens honor the ban that the city has been transformed into a human hunting preserve.

Another Chicago student shot and killed just hours after President Obama’s speech on gun violence, a speech her sister attended.

18-year-old Janay McFarlane was gunned down in suburban North Chicago, reports CBS-2′S Mike Puccinelli.

“The next thing I knew I got a call and they said my baby was dead. And she was shot in the head,” said Angela Blakely, the victim’s mother... A young man she was walking with appears to have been the target, but the drive by killers instead hit Janay...

...Janay attended Hyde Park Career Academy where President Obama spoke yesterday for three years before transferring to an alternative school after she became pregnant a year ago. But her younger sister Destiny still attends Hyde Park and was in the audience standing right behind the President as he decried the violence that claimed the life of Hadiya Pendleton and so many other young Chicagoans. Destiny was too distraught to talk about her big sister...

Instead of pursuing the drug cartels and armed gangs that are roaming the inner city like a post-Apocalyptic, Mad Max-style wasteland, mayor Rahm Emanuel and police chief Garry McCarthy are pursuing innocent gun owners and demonizing law-abiding citizens.

Every reporter who interviews the president, the mayor, or the police chief should repeatedly ask the question: why isn't gun control working in Chicago?

And if they lay the blame on neighboring cities and states, ask why those areas are infinitely safer than Chicago.

Humina, humina, humina.


FORGET THE INDOCTRINATION: Hitler and Mussolini were "progressives" and men of the left

Daniel Hannan cuts through the disinformation routinely spewed by the pundit class to reveal the true historical nature of fascism, albeit as it pertains to British politics. The lessons, however, are applicable here as well.

'I am a Socialist,' Hitler told Otto Strasser in 1930, 'and a very different kind of Socialist from your rich friend, Count Reventlow'.

No one at the time would have regarded it as a controversial statement. The Nazis could hardly have been more open in their socialism, describing themselves with the same terminology as our own SWP: National Socialist German Workers' Party.

Almost everyone in those days accepted that fascism had emerged from the revolutionary Left. Its militants marched on May Day under red flags. Its leaders stood for collectivism, state control of industry, high tariffs, workers' councils. Around Europe, fascists were convinced that, as Hitler told an enthusiastic Mussolini in 1934, 'capitalism has run its course'.

One of the most stunning achievements of the modern Left is to have created a cultural climate where simply to recite these facts is jarring. History is reinterpreted, and it is taken as axiomatic that fascism must have been Right-wing, the logic seemingly being that Left-wing means compassionate and Right-wing means nasty and fascists were nasty. You expect this level of analysis from Twitter mobs; you shouldn't expect it from mainstream commentators.

...I just hope that Lefties who have read this far will have a sense of how conservatives feel when fascism is declared to be simply a point further along the spectrum from them. Whenever anyone points to the socialist roots of fascism, there are howls of outrage. Yet the people howling the loudest are often the first to claim some ideological link between fascism and conservatism.

Listen to Democrats like the unhinged progressive Tom Harkin, who believes income and wealth needs to be "reallocated" -- by force, presumably -- and you can hear the echoes of fascists past.

QOTD: "When China’s Lieutenant-General Ren Haiquan took the podium in front of an audience filled with representatives from various Asian militaries in Melbourne, Australia, last month, he attacked “some people” who were threatening to repeat the mistakes of WWII. ”Flames of the war ignited by fascist countries engulfed the whole region, and many places, including Darwin in Australia, were bombed,” he said. In a crazy coincidence, perhaps, fireworks thundered into the sky overhead as he spoke.

A delegation of Japanese military officers were in the audience. “Visibly displeased at the dig,” David Lague reports for Reuters, “Lieutenant General Yoshiaki Nakagawa left with his fellow officers as soon as the speeches concluded.”

China’s military hawks like Lt-General Ren are becoming more vocal and more powerful. They push “short, sharp wars” with neighboring countries to take control of disputed territories in the East and South China Seas. They urge China to “strike first”, “prepare for conflict” or “kill a chicken to scare the monkeys.”

Some hawks take the aggressive rhetoric to an even higher level: “Since we have decided that the US is bluffing in the East China Sea, we should take this opportunity to respond to these empty provocations with something real,” wrote Air Force Colonel Dai Xu in China’s Global Times last August. “This includes Vietnam, the Philippines and Japan, which are the three running dogs of the United States in Asia … We only need to kill one, and it will immediately bring the others to heel.”" --Walter Russell Mead

PRIORITIES: There's a murder every 3 hours in Chicago and Rahm Emanuel's first order of business is locking up law-abiding citizens

Gun-free Chicago experiences a murder every 3.6 hours.

Fortunately, Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Police Chief Garry McCarthy are focused on the big picture:

  • A University of Illinois at Chicago staffer has been placed on administrative leave after she brought a legally purchased handgun to work because she didn't want to leave it at home while her house was being renovated, a UIC spokesman said.

    A judge set bail at $25,000 Wednesday for Kathleen Loviscek, 55, according to the Cook County sheriff's office. She is expected in court again on Feb. 19... Loviscek, of Westmont, was charged with unlawful use of a weapon, a felony, said UIC spokesman Bill Burton.

    “There was no apparent intent or threat,’’ Burton said. “It was never brandished nor was it loaded.’’


So a legally purchased weapon, cased and unloaded, is grounds for a felony charge now?

And this popped up in the comments section:

  •  016th District warrior locked up a guy after returning from gun range for having an unloaded carbine in his trunk. Legal, but not in Chicago. Way to go, soldiers of Rahm.

Unloaded and inaccessible to the driver - another UUW charge? Not to mention a seeming violation of at least one Constitutional Amendment.

Chicago Mayor and Police Chief Attack Law-Abiding Gun Owners, Ignore Mexican Drug Cartel Setting Up Shop in U.S. Murder Capital

Chicago, Illinois -- with perhaps the strictest gun control laws in the U.S. -- is also the country's murder capital. Coincidentally, of course. Last year, it celebrated more than 500 murders thanks to its, uhm, "sensible" restrictions on guns. It seems that gang-bangers, drug-dealers, murderers and other violent thugs forgot to read their law books.

Chicago is, for all intents and purposes, a "human hunting preserve" for the dark side of society.

And while the Mayor and the Police Chief attack the Second Amendment right of citizens to protect themselves from evil-doers, it seems that Mexican drug cartels are setting up shop in a fertile new territory.

Chicago’s new Public Enemy No. 1: ‘El Chapo’


(CNN) — The Chicago Crime Commission named a new Public Enemy No. 1 on Thursday, a designation originally crafted for Al Capone. The new holder of this dubious distinction, however, is not American nor believed to be in the United States. He is Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, the infamous Mexican drug lord who is Chicago’s most wanted because his Sinaloa cartel supplies a majority of the narcotics in the city.

Not since Capone “has any criminal deserved this title more than Joaquin Guzman,” commission President J.R. Davis said in a news release. “Guzman is the major supplier of narcotics to Chicago. His agents are working in the Chicago area importing vast quantities of drugs for sale throughout the Chicago region and collecting and sending to Mexico tens of millions of dollars in drug money.”

And what is Chicago's police chief doing about this? As you'd expect, he's attacking law-abiding citizens:

[Police Chief Garry McCarthy] is an unhappy camper about “gun rights advocates” embarrassing him and making him look like a fool as he goes about his merry way running CPD into the ground and demonizing gun owners along the way.

Yes, indeed, Guns Save Life is on his radar and under his skin and he’s launched a direct attack at little old us, which officially kicks off this Sunday at 7:00a.m. by accusing us of corruption.

Really.

Top Cop is on the attack against gun rights groups

(WLS-AM) – Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy is on the attack against gun rights groups who oppose new gun control, and he launched the attack here at WLS...

Taping Connected to Chicago for Sunday morning at 7, Superintendent McCarthy came up with a novel new way to try to accuse gun rights groups of corruption... “If there was special interests affecting police work, I believe that would be called corruption. So, if it has do with donating money versus a popular vote, I think we have a bigger problem in this country and somebody’s gotta wake up to that,” said McCarthy.

So people who stand up for the United States Constitution -- the nation's highest law that officials like McCarthy are supposed to honor -- are "corrupt"?

And who is Chicago police chief Garry McCarthy? Some paragon of virtue?

  • the guy who claimed that he would train his officers to shoot licensed civilians with guns
  • the guy who claimed a couple of tables full of evil “black guns” were confiscated in the first days of the 2013 when the press noticed the evidence tags were from prior years
  • the guy who was found “guilty” in March 2006 over an traffic altercation he had in 2005 with two New Jersey police officers
  • the guy who was also out drunk again on City Island one evening was shooting out street lights with two other police officers, one of whom was McCarthy’s brother, a New York State Trooper
  • the guy who at the same streetlight assassinating incident used the word “n***er” in telling nearby residents to mind their own business, nearly causing a riot
  • the guy not-so-affectionately known as McSh**ForBrains to his officers

Quite a moral authority.

But, please, citizens of Chicago. Don't worry about the Mexican drug cartels setting up shop in your city. First off, the border is "as secure as it's ever been" according to the geniuses responsible for national security in the Obama administration.

Second, Garry McCarthy is all over the problem, visiting radio stations to demonize law-abiding citizens.

QOTD: "Today we care about budgets more than anything. Our American future hangs on the ability of government to cut budget.

[Calvin] Coolidge cut the budget, and even better, cut it during peace and prosperity. He left a federal budget lower than the one that greeted him when he arrived in office. He managed to freeze or cut the budget over more than five years in office. If you look at charts of presidents — Nixon, Ike, and Reagan — you see them failing on this score.

What else is cool? Coolidge was a pragmatist. He didn’t start out with a tax theory. But he observed over time that lower tax rates sometimes brought in extra revenue. The success of his and Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon’s experiment with rate cuts has been obscured by our modern history books. But that success was real, and it was fun to get close to it." --Amity Shlaes

MOTIVATIONAL POSTER: Presidential Priorities

This:


Anne Sorock observes:

Former Navy Seal Chris Kyle, who was killed at a Texas gun range on February 8, was laid to rest Tuesday at the Texas State Cemetery. On Monday, 7,000 people attended a memorial service in his honor at the Cowboys Stadium.

Many people are saying Kyle was the deadliest sniper in history, and he was known as “the legend” to his friends, and the “Devil of Ramadi” to his (and our) enemies. He was the author of the book, “American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in US Military History.”

Kyle and his family have given so much for our country, as have so many other heroes before them; and yet, President Obama failed to mention him in his State of the Union last night, the same day as his funeral.

Sarah Palin, however, recognized his sacrifice on the morning of the memorial service, which she attended with her husband...

We salute you, Chris Kyle. We salute you and thank you. May God bless you and your family.
