Tandem Tuesday Temptations, the To Tell The Truth edition

I must say, I like the way Newt cuts to the chase. Afghanistan is broken, and they don't want our help fixing it.

His prescription: "What you have to do is say, 'You know, you're going to have to figure out how to live your own miserable life… Because you clearly don't want to learn from me how to be unmiserable.'"

But in today's Star-Ledger self-proclaimed conservative intellectual Paul "Moonshine" Mulshine tries to make the case that Obama's really doing us a favor by kowtowing to Hamid Karzai's murderous riff-raff. It goes something like this — The Taliban is the real enemy, Karzai is our ally, and "the reason Obama apologized is that he wanted to get our allies back on our side."

Perhaps Mulshine is thinking of a different Hamid Karzai, rather than the one who confers with The Taliban each and every day. I dunno.

Then there's that whole after the apology our "allies" are still shooting our guys thing. Which of course does show just how effective the apology was in the first place.

Then in another Obama slap in the face to our military, the guys Karzai's goons are shooting at will have to pay more for their health insurance.

The Obama administration's proposed defense budget calls for military families and retirees to pay sharply more for their healthcare, while leaving unionized civilian defense workers' benefits untouched. The proposal is causing a major rift within the Pentagon, according to U.S. officials. Several congressional aides suggested the move is designed to increase the enrollment in Obamacare's state-run insurance exchanges.

Political Junkie Mom is not amused.

The new Obama budget protects all unionized government workers and their benefits (of course!) but hands another crap sandwich to military families and retirees. Eat up folks.

Well, since he couldn't actually make Cindy Sheehan Secretary of Defense, this is the next best thing. Because unless he's taking credit for their heroism, it's no secret that Barack Obama despises the American military.

But unions? Unions are his peeps. He'll give the unions anything. And he has.

OK, time to end on a definite up-note. Yes, for our feel-good story of the day we have VFW Post Commander with a roll of duct tape vs flag-burning dirtbag. If it doesn't bring a smile to your face, you just might be an Obama supporter.
