Dear fellow Patriot,
Gun-grabbers around the globe believe they have it made.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton recently announced the Obama Administration will be working hand-in-glove with the UN to pass a new “Small Arms Treaty.”
Disguised as an “International Arms Control Treaty” to fight against “terrorism,” “insurgency” and “international crime syndicates,” the UN Small Arms Treaty is in fact a massive, GLOBAL gun control scheme.

Coburn’s cuts: Taking on Medicare and Medicaid
Excerpt: Coburn, a doctor, has some strong ideas about Medicare and Medicaid, which, he said, provide “health-care coverage for approximately one in five Americans and, along with Social Security, make up the backbone of the federal safety net.” Among his proposals: raising the entry age for Medicare; means-testing beneficiary payments; raising some premiums for all seniors; increasing funding for investigating fraud and abuse of both systems; and freezing for 10 years the Medicare reimbursement rates for doctors. Why such dramatic steps? Coburn agrees with the Congressional Budget Office that the dramatic growth of federal spending on health care is “the single greatest threat to budget stability.” “Medicare and Medicaid consume one in five federal tax dollars,” according to Coburn, who adds, “Taxpayers lose an estimated $100 billion a year to waste, fraud and abuse in the two programs, which is the combined annual budget of three entire federal departments — Transportation, Homeland Security, and Housing and Urban Development.”
OBAMA GIVING EACH AFGHANISTAN PROVINCE A MILLION ANNUALLY!
Submitted by: Diane Ward
Dear Conservatives,
If you want the rant to continue we pay every province in Afghanistan one million dollars a year, there are 26 provinces in Kandahar alone! This money is for restoration of streets, electric power, etc....however it has so influenced the "local" economies that if we try to "pull out" they will now collapse without continued moneys coming from us. We have replaced their economy with our War guilt payoffs. It's to their advantage to keep loosing a few rebels per day and keep the money coming in! Also a 15 minute fire fight in AF now costs us 1 million dollars. Some of the good big armaments we deploy are 300,000 a shot! They use one in almost every skirmish.

So of course we don't have money for decent living wages for our soldiers and their families, we're giving it all the the enemy we are fighting. No one ever talks about those "expenses" of the war! One battalion sent there last year in one year was in 153 armed confrontations with the Pakistanis, about 5 miles from the Pakistan border....think what that cost!

BONE UP ON HAARP AND ITS EFFECT ON YOU
Submitted by: Nancy Battle
We have seen Science Fiction movies before but NEVER thought something like this would be able to take place here on earth in real life experiences........this article, while long, is worth your attention........HAARP needs to be dismantled and the people controlling this, need to be 'put away' . I have wondered more that a little bit, if this 'drought' we are going through has not been manipulated by the HAARP installation in Alaska !.......Nancy
HOW TO SAVE MONEY AND SOLVE MANY PROBLEMS IN AMERICA
Submitted by: Robert Cooper
It's time to "downsize" Congress.Proposal
When a company falls on difficult times, one of the things that seems to happen is they reduce their staff and workers. The remaining workers must find ways to continue to do a good job or risk that their job would be eliminated as well.
Wall street and the media normally congratulate the CEO for making this type of "tough decision", and the board of directors gives upper corporate management big bonuses..
Our government should not be immune from similar risks.
Therefore:

Book Recommendation: Never Without Heroes by Lawrence C. Vetter
A fine history of the Marine Third Recon Battalion in Vietnam by an officer who served with recon and led patrols. This book is well-written, with a lot of attention to personal details, from the heroic to the humorous...to the tragic. The men of Third Recon earned four Medals of Honor, 13 Navy Crosses, 72 Silver Stars, and numerous Bronze Stars and Purple Hearts. They took many casualties and inflicted many more on a tough, professional enemy. The book had a personal note for me, an account of a rocket attack I was on the receiving end of in July of 1967, with details I didn't know. As a Radio Relay Team Chief, I was lucky enough to be in a much safer billet with Regt. HQ than these guys, but this book made me proud to have worn the same uniform. It will be appreciated by all Marines, everyone interested in military history or small unit operations, and those who appreciate human courage. ~Bob

the Morning Briefing every morning at no charge.
15/2011
This is a rather unusual Morning Briefing if only because the last 72 hours have been rather unusual and I am exhausted. My apologies in advance.
Governor Perry announced to the nation he was running for President. He did so at the RedState Gathering. You can see the video and read the transcript of his remarks right here.
