Reuben James is Still Alive!

News this morning was that some 350+ miles out to sea, Somali pirates had seized a U. S. Flag ship - 20 U.S. Citizens aboard. As of this writing, the ship, the Maersk Alabama, similar to the one pictured here, is back under control of the crew. The pirates have a hostage and we have a pirate is the current situation.

Thank God there is still some testosterone left in our metrosexual nation, that is being represented on his apology tour by the highest elected metro in the land. The spirit of Reuben James, the young boatswain's mate who stepped in front of a Barbary Pirate's scimitar to protect his Captain, Commodore Stephen Decatur!Now, the question is will Barry O behave like Mr. Jefferson and send the U.S. Navy to rid the seas of this scourge? We know, and I'll bet that crew knew, that if they had been taken hostage, Barry would have behaved like Jimmuh Carter and begged forgiveness for the arrogance of having motorized cargo ships plying the waters off their coasts.

Let's pray for the safe return of the remaining hostage and hoist a GIANT "Bravo Zulu" - job well done - to the crew of the Maersk Alabama!
