REFLECTIONS

Shortly after his becoming a presidential candidate, Tommy Thompson spoke to the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism in Washington, D.C., “I’m in the private sector, and for the first time in my life I’m earning money. You know, that’s sort of part of the Jewish tradition, and I do not find anything wrong with [...]

Given the outrage that the GOP base has shown about illegal immigration I don’t know why there isn’t more support for Duncan Hunter. He is a strong principled conservative. He has made border security his most important priority as Congressman and as a candidate. Here in Southern California he has been responisible for a big [...]

They are so peaceful and so tolerant.   http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2003812903_webtires30m.html

If you haven’t heard about the positive Iraq War story in the NY Times yet, it is simply amazing. If it weren’t for all the flying pigs that keep banging on my windshield this would be great. I knew the surge was working, but I had no idea it was working so well that even [...]

Over at Atlas Shrugs they are reporting that a US Marine Commander wants e-mails to bolster his troops moral. He is concerned about the constant negativity espoused by the MSM or as I like to call them the filty traitors. Here is the email address: RCT-6lettersfromh@gcemnf-wiraq.usmc.mil And here is the link to the whole story: [...]

Hillary and Barak…yea that’s the ticket…now that the minorities when bundled together outnumber the majority will this be the first ticket elected by the minorities…or the new majority…and if the new majority is really the minority…when will I be getting my reparations and job preference documentation…that’s real ticket…you can stick a fork in that…Sincerely N.D.Ted

I once had a hopelessly naive, that is to say stupid, friend who said that she can’t imagine Israel being destroyed. I think that is the ongoing idea that permeates the US governments attitude about Israel. The Bush administration doesn’t think Israel can actually be destroyed, God or Jesus or someone will save it. Therefore [...]

Well…from now on when I get the same chain email for the tenth time I will delete it…right…if the theory is to send it to ten people…then by receiving the same email ten times…I have fulfilled my obligations to me friends…this way I can keep my cyber friend and at the same time make sure [...]

John Podhoretz at National Review Online had ask: “So what if they should have to answer a question asked by a snowman? Why is that any worse than being asked a question by Chris Matthews?” There are rumors that some of the Republican Presidential hopefuls may avoid the CNN/YouTube “debate” in September. I think they [...]

Over at National Review Online http://corner.nationalreview.com/  they have all lost their minds.  They are praising Hillary, because she said she won’t meet with the World’s desposts.  The grown up Democrat they say and I think they need long, long vacations.  Of course Hillary is talking tough, of course she says she won’t make deals with terrorists, [...]

So I woke up this morning to discover that Lindsey Lohan has taken over the 24/7 news cycle.  I can only assume that means the surge continues to work and our valiant forces in Iraq are truly making headway.  Since the media doesn’t want us to get any good news out of Iraq they have no [...]

Christopher Hitchens drives me nuts.  Get him away from the subject of Radical Islam, or the Clintons, and he is deranged foaming at the mouth liberal.  Did you read his book on Jefferson?  Positively maddening.  He points out the many un-enlightened things that Jefferson did, the way Jefferson took part in turning the pro-slavery side [...]

I have been reading American Revolution by Gordon S. Wood. I think only an historian of Wood’s caliber could write such a brief book on such a large subject. I reached the mention of the Committees of Correspondence and I was once again amazed at the accomplishments of our Founders. It seems like such a [...]

I have been amused watching the reports of Rowling’s Ted Kennedy levels of outrage over the leaks of her latest pot boiler. She is so mad that anyone would dare to presume to wreck her set in stone plan, no one should be allowed to read her sacred book before the date that she decreed. [...]

    In a few hours, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the final book in the global, popular novel, will be available on paper, audio, and even braille but no e-book. J.K. Rowling has forbidden the e-book format for her series because of her desire for the young readers to experience books in paper-format and of [...]

Over at National Review Online, Mark Krikorian just threw away a beautiful line. The Religion of Perpetual Outrage, it’s so perfect. From now on that is how I will alway refer to Islam.

    During evening news last night, I learnt of the Southwick nomination to the Federal court. Fred Barnes explained it was going to the Senate floor until the American Way org had convinced chairman of the judiciary committee to re-consider the nomination. Leslie Southwick is the latest nomination for to the Federal court who is suffering [...]
