We would review nominated articles once a month.  Members can nominate anything but their own writing (even on their own blog) for the award. I [...]

I always hated the Army of One campaign because it was a Clinton era ploy to bring disunity to the Army.  It was an engineered plot to try to bring the concept of individualism to our one size fits all fighting machine.  It was about turning members of a cohesive unit into a thousands of me’s. That headline distracts somewhat from the rest of the content, but I’m not above using a cheap and tawdry headline to bring attention to this post. From our friend Allahpundit at HotAir , and I hate to lift both of these videos but this post would be a dead carp washed up on shore without doing so.

And now the delicious rework that really tells the truth. I wish I knew how to…

For the record, the NRA-PVF has not yet made an endorsement in the Nevada U.S. Senate race .  In fact, there have been no announced endorsements for any U.S. Senate seat for the November general elections—period. It is increasingly apparent that the Reid endorsement is coming. The August issue of the NRA magazines included a preemptive explanation for the unpopular recommendation titled Making Endorsements Count which regurgitates the NRA-PVF Endorsement Policy . They go on about being non-partisan and a single issue organization that …
