This Blog Is Moving

Greetings. After this weekend, this Take Our Country Back Blog will be moving to the new web site. Too many conservatives are getting zapped by the intolerant dweebs of the Obama Goons and seeing that this editing platform is a free site, Blogger can do pretty much what it feels like doing. Hence, I now have a paid site and will be migrating the last 1400+ posts shortly.

So, one day, you just may click this page somewhere and it will show up as "private". It has been fun but the intolerant Czarbie Goon Squads are brain dead idiots. They can come play at the new site which I OWN outright.

Sad News From Michael Yon

Wayne Downing Gravely Ill

I just received the sad news that Wayne Downing, a legendary Ranger Leader, is gravely ill. I saw Wayne some months ago in Iraq, and his recent emails made him sound fine.

More information will be available as it develops.

Sadly,

Michael

Iraq Time: 0210 18 July 2007

Update:

Wayne Downing has passed away. We have lost a true American. His body may have stopped, but his spirit lives on and imbues courage and fidelity upon us.

We should not count our losses, but our gains. Wayne Downing was lost for today, but his spirit and memory continue to strengthen.

Our deepest condolences to the family of a Great American.
