A repressive progressive state. I am sick to my stomach. This blatant coup of our republic cannot stand! THIS IS WRONG! REPEAL THE BILL! FIRE CONGRESS!

We need to win enough seats that he has NO power. EVERY temporary law that has been passed has never hit sunset, unless it was a tax cut. I am in actual fear for my nation. What is happening here is simply WRONG... But I expect to be rounded up into the (re)education camps soon...

I rue that I were abed (and unborn) on St. Crispin's Day That I were not with good King Harry and those few, those happy few on that day... I would follow such a man anytime, into any conflict. God rest King Henry V, and William Shakespeare for writing such amazing words.

I'd do a documentary version and just follow him around. I love Yon, and I devore his writing and even his facebook comments... In addition check these out... I've got a couple really good books Karl Zinsmeister did in 2003-2004 ish "Boots on the Ground" and "Dawn over Baghdad" he is much like Yon, but without the military background, so he has more of a conservative journalist's view. He later was a Bush speachwriter I think. (Cheif Domestic Policy advisor according to wikipedia). But my personal favorite book from this period (so far) is Sean Naylor's "Not a Good Day to Die" the story of operation anaconda. I would do it like "Band of Brothers" because there are like 30 main characters and so many events, none of which can be skipped.

I was an intel geek once on submarines in the mid 80's and once in Mech Infantry in '03-'04. God Bless you sir. Thank you for your Service and Sacrifice protecting myself, my family, and my country. Hooah!

If you publish books on these men and their exploits I will BUY and READ them. Far too many of these heroic men have been silent, holding their stories inside for fear of boasting or excessive hubris. But without them our world would be so much worse, and the current generations (actually myself included until I went searching for these stories) we know nothing of them. We've never heard these stories. There are true heros all around us, they look like little old men and women, Grannies and Grampys. And because we are unaware of them we worship idiotic sports figures, or empty headed movie stars, or vapid singers. We should have been idolizing our grandparents for a couple generations, not sticking them in nursing homes and ignoring them. America NEEDS to hear these stories, to really HEAR them, to have them strike chords in us and awaken us to our true potential before we slide into some slime pit socialist empty-headed land of squandered potential and formerly free peoples. THANK YOU for your efforts and your post. God Bless you Ma'am.

Him and Andrew Klavan are my new favorite authors.

I am am huge fan of Bond. I own all the movies and I've read most of the original novels. For many years James Bond was my Idol and as a young man I prayed nightly that I might be more like him. I truly love your essays "for conservative movie lovers". THANK YOU for writing them.

And the Values were so different as it feels like Hollywood has become an alien planet.

Now that is a GREAT update from Hollywood. You Go June! Please convey to Ms O'Hara that we love her, and I've had "it" for Red-Heads at least partially due to watching her in so many movies as a young boy... And I prefer feisty women, also partially due to her roles.

Can we buy it yet? Is it out? IMDB was not clear. I will buy this.

He is trying to win over those of us foolish Fox News folks who have resisted drinking his "Oneness" Kool-aide... I am truly afraid at times. There are too many scary moments in history similar to our "Now". I pray about it, but I also know God allowed his chosen people to be captured and enslaved more than once. I do not think we America is "chosen" but I do fear he may allow us to get what we deserve from our crappy choices and behaviors. As much as I love and respect this country, we made this mess. As a population we either voted for this bozo, or we chose to "sit it out" rather than vote for the poor opponent because he was "not what we wanted". Well lookie what we got... We experimented with either "Hope & Change" or passive aggressive vote abstinence and we have this...

It is amazingly good. I wish I was rich so I could drink it more than one ort two shots per year as a treat for something significant in my life worthy of celebration. Middleton is drank like this, sipped from a shot glass with nothing but air as a back. AMAZING...
