Re: Obama kicks pirate "booty"
Funny thread. However I am pleased that a Democrat President was able to break through the Democrat party's normal yellow streak and authorize force to be used.
I think Obama knew that if he allowed the pirates to get this guy to shore in Somalia where we could not get to him when two or more US Navy ships had been meters away that would have been disasterous PR and once again painted the Dems as wimps unwilling to use military force for America.
Regardless of the motivation I reluctantly salue the Apologist In Chief for the force authorization.
Now if he just would stop making speeches around the world claiming that Islam has been a big part in making America what it is today.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
