“Attack Watch” Entries, and OPEN THREAD »

Yes, hard as it is to believe, the Obama Campaign’s snitch site is still up and running. I know, I know, it is just one more ridiculous thing this Administration has done. Oops – there I go again. I wonder how many times someone can actually be reported to “Attack Watch”? Anyway, my aunt sent [...]

The Sorry State of Pakistan »

Osama bin Laden: killed and al Qaeda: on the run. That’s the balance sheet — more or less — that the U.S. has to share with the world. Meanwhile, its biggest ally in the War on Terror — Pakistan — has nothing to present except that its own people have been terrorized by militants, with [...]

DOJ Finally Starts Enforcing Laws – Too Bad They Are India’s And Not Ours **Updated** »

Oh, how I wish I was making this up. But I am not. Yes, the DOJ cannot be bothered to prosecute what one DOJ long-term attorney, J. Christian Adams, claimed to be the “easiest case” he had ever had. He was referring to the voter intimidation by the New Black Panther Party in Philadelphia. Those [...]

The Sorry State of Pakistan »

Salmaan Taseer is dead. He’s neither the first politician, first liberal, the first outspoken bullish pugnacious politician who was killed. Nor is he last. There were many, there will be more. He was the sitting governor of Pakistan’s biggest province and was assassinated by his own bodyguard.  Does Pakistan suffer today because of his death? [...]

Fear Itself Folo »

Some readers of this blog took exception to my post titled “Fear Itself,” which was published on April 6. I’d like to address the objections. Protest is the American way. The health care bill, a massive piece of legislation, had many elements which some could find objectionable. Mandates are worrying, as is the fear that [...]

Fear Itself »

What sales tactic is the most persuasive? Which emotion, when exploited, motivates human beings to reach for their wallets – or their guns? The answer, of course, is fear. And fear, when stoked by demagogues and poured over a volatile flammable mass only needs one match to create a frightful conflagration. Witness the American “Tea [...]

Thanks For Clearing That Up, Pelosi And Hoyer »

Wow, have I ever been laboring under a false impression! I thought, from what the Constitution (and Bill of Rights) contained, that US citizens have the right to assemble, and the right to free speech. Oh, and that our representatives worked for US, and not the other way around. Was I ever misled by my [...]

The Cultural Revolution Starts Here! »

In my new video I look at the way the Emperor’s Clothing Syndrome has dominated the arts and humanities over the past half century, with the help of academic practitioners looking for theories to build on, trying to carve out some academic territory for themselves and becoming the high priests or priestesses of their chosen [...]

The Secrets of Capt. Fumio Nakahira Or Why I’m Leaving the Democratic Party but Keeping my Principles »

“There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.” — Elie Wiesel It’s clear to many Democrats that a radical clique has taken control of the Party. Democratic ideals once held to be sacrosanct, including freedom of speech, one person one [...]

Susan Estrich Predicts 30% of Clinton Supporters Will Go McCain »

This morning, former Mike Dukakis Campaign Manager Susan Estrich says she surfed the blogs and what she found written about Sarah Palin is horrific and totally inappropriate. Referring to the fact that the sexism in America is overt, she had this to say: Estrich was asked: “Realistically speaking” How many of Hillary Clinton’s voters are [...]

Obama’s Two Faces and Forked Tongue, Pt 3: The U.S. is Evil? »

Obama’s willingness to flip-flop has earned him the moniker Backtrack Obama. He betrayed progressives by voting for the FISA legislation; he promised to expand Bush’s faith-based initiatives; he equivocated on choice by saying that “mental distress” should not be a factor in abortion. Obama’s newest flip flop was not over a matter of public policy [...]

Planning On Going To Denver? Obama Has Gitmo Ready For You »

That’s right folks. Tick off the wrong person and you too can spend the night in the “New” Stalinist Democratic Party’s rendition of Gitmo. DENVER (CBS4) ― CBS4 News has learned if mass arrests happen at the Democratic Convention, those taken into custody will be jailed in a warehouse owned by the City of Denver. [...]

Monsoon Season in Colorado: Stormy Weather Ahead »

What’s going to happen in Denver during the Democratic Convention? Well, lots of out-of-towners are going to suffer from altitude sickness. And while it’s likely to hit 100 degrees with an average humidity of 12%, it’s also monsoon season, so the Pray for Rain brigade may luck out: Thunderstorms are common in summer afternoons, specifically during the late [...]
