WE ARE MOVING!

The American Sentinel posters are moving to a new site, Annuit Coeptis, yet another fine creation of our founder, Paul Zannucci.  Our new home will feature the same wide-ranging, free-wheeling, and unabashedly opinionated reports and commentary, along with some new features such as an easy way for guests to post.  Please visit and bookmark the new site.

For those who may not know - - Annuit Coeptis is the uppermost motto on the Coat of Arms of the United States, which is also the reverse side of the Great Seal.  Like the motto on the Great Seal obverse, E pluribus unum (check the back of a dollar bill, which depicts both), Annuit Coeptis has 13 letters in honor of the original States which won the Revolutionary War and combined to form a new order (Novus Ordo Seclorum, dudes!). "Annuit Coeptis" translates more or less as "He approves our undertakings."  The motto was penned by patriot Charles Thomson, who explained: "The Eye over [the pyramid] and the motto Annuit Cœptis allude to the many signal interpositions of providence in favor of the American cause."

This site will stay "up" as an archive, hopefully through the end of the year, and we will have a way to access it from the new site.

Ideological vendettas cloud rational thinking about torture techniques

We have been hearing a lot about torture recently, specifically questioning whether the Bush administration employed torture methods against terrorists to extract valuable national security information.

Merriam-Webster defines torture as “the infliction of intense pain (as from burning, crushing, or wounding) to punish, coerce, or afford sadistic pleasure.”

Tea Party Rage

I don't understand the liberal hatred and derision of the tea parties. Aren't they the ones who insisted that dissent is patriotic?  Aren't they the ones who, after an eight year diaper rash temper tantrum, finally got their way at the polls? Why is the left so angry?

More proof that Liberals HATE our military.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) responds to Rep. Tom Rooney's (R-FL) amendment to a hate crimes bill to protect people who are targets of violent crime because of their military service.

You wont beleive what you hear...well maybe you will.

Barack Obama: The vindictive President

The current silliness taking place in the third ring of the circus that is Washington, DC over the Bush administration’s successful efforts to defend the nation against additional terrorist attacks after 9-11-01 would be laughable, were it not so absurd and so un-American.

Do the Palestinians Really Want a State?

I am positive that the average Palestinian man or woman would take any decent agreement giving them their own nation and working in peaceful cooperation with their Israeli neighbors, create a Paradise on Earth. Most Palestinians work or have worked in Israel, many would be friendly with Israelis if they could (the extremists in Gaza and the West Bank kill such people, calling them traitors and collaborators.). There is a deep desire for peace among them.

Can you spare a dollar?

When I heard Barack Obama talking yesterday (4/20/09) about asking departments to find $100 million to cut, somewhere, somehow, as a show of fiscal responsibility, it reminded me of my Tallest gif file story, and I immediately thought of this analogy: take an average lower-middle income family that earns, say, $38,000 a year. Now imagine asking a member of that family if they could SOMEHOW find 1 DOLLAR to cut from their personal budget. That whole year. Because I already knew based on the tallest gif file piece that $1 is to $38,000 what $100 million is to 3.8 trillion (which represents the Obama 2009 budget). But does the average Obama voter know this? Or do they think that $100 million sounds pretty darn huge? (Gibbs does by golly.) Does Janeane Garofalo and her faulty Orbitofrontal cortex realize that $400-$800 in smaller deductions from one's paychecks this year compared to a $1200 check in the mail to spend however you wanted last year thanks to Bush (or $600 for single filers), means that this year's "tax cut" is actually a net loss of $200-$400 for many American families?
