First to surrender: Michael Bloomberg

April 23rd, 2013 | No Comments

In wake of the Boston bombing, I expected a whole lot of knee-jerk reactions.  First major meltdown apparently is New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. “The people who are worried about privacy have a legitimate worry,” Mr. Bloomberg said during a press conference in Midtown. “But we live in a complex word where you’re going to [...]

Carbon will be the leading source of conflict

June 16th, 2010 | No Comments

Per Barbara Boxer: “I’m going to put in the record … a host of quotes from our national security experts who tell us that carbon pollution leading to climate change will be over the next 20 years the leading cause of conflict, putting our troops in harm’s way,” Boxer said. “And that’s why we have [...]

Scott Ott and the Obama Doctrine

July 28th, 2008 | 2 Comments

Scott Ott has been one of my favorite authors for quite some time.  Here is yet another reason why: …..Sen. Obama, a man who aspires to be our commander in chief, tells us that a nation called Afghanistan is where this threat dwells. Yet, he says, it does not dwell in Iraq. He tells us [...]

Let Khalid Sheikh Mohammed be a martyr

June 5th, 2008 | No Comments

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed wants to be a martyr. I’m fine with that.  Since so many peaceful Muslems consider killing innocent children and un-armed men and women not an act defending Islam, that means if they are right, he’ll rot in hell.  Since there are so many religions on this planet with wildly diverse definitions of [...]

That pesky “Bush is beholden to oil” thing

May 12th, 2008 | No Comments

It’s making the rounds again as the Dems warm up for the fall.  Obama’s already testing it.  Clinton has worn it out already.  Several have already blamed the price of gas on Bush, and most have offered their solutions to the Bush problem.  When you listen to them make those arguments, remember one thing:   [...]

Obama’s links to terrorists?

April 17th, 2008 | No Comments

Last night I didn’t watch the debate. I prefer to spend my time chasing a five year old around and working in the yard. Additionally, I prefer to just wait till it all filters out through what people take on it after the fact. 90% of any debate is fluff and posing, I just don’t [...]

Jimmy Carter promoting Hamas

April 9th, 2008 | No Comments

Jimmy Carter is reportedly going to Syria to meet with Hamas leaders.  Now, just a thought here.  If Hamas is designated a terrorist organization, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are part of the overall War on Terror, wouldn’t that make JImmy Carter a traitor?   Can’t we shoot traitors?  Last I recall, we can.  [...]

Jose Padilla and your civil rights

August 16th, 2007 | No Comments

When Jose Padilla was arrested in 2002, every conspiracy theorist and Bush-hater went ballistic.  Big Brother had finally arrived according to them.  This particular post sums it up best to me: The case of Jose Padilla is one of the most despicable and outright un-American travesties the U.S. Government has perpetrated for a long time. [...]

New World Order?

July 17th, 2007 | 8 Comments

I have often heard people say so-and-so is part of the New World Order. Now, up until now I always just came to the conclusion whenever I heard that whoever was saying it was slightly askew in their thinking. However, I came to the conclusion that wasn’t a nice thing to do since I was [...]

Comparing Sharia law and fascism

July 17th, 2007 | 1 Comment

Shaun Mullen over at The Moderate Voice takes offense to President Bush comparing Iraq to World War II: The bravery of the men and women in Iraq has never been an issue, but to compare the global pushback against fascism with Iraq dishonors World War II veterans and their families, friends and fellow citizens on [...]
