REFLECTIONS

While everyone else is watching the stock market imitate a yo-yo the most important story of the day will go unnoticed by almost all.  The home of the Magna Carta, The Glorious Revolution, John Locke’s treatise on the Rights of Man and that greatest of all political philosophers Edmund Burke has decided to very quietly [...]

Wednesday is Constitution Day our Blog-Master no doubt will have much to say on the subject.  But I thought I would start things off with a song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30OyU4O80i4

Howdy all, a few Interesting Items for your information. Enjoy – In this issue: 1. Investigation 2. Campaign 3. Cold Summer 4. Drawdown 1. Investigation. All the usual suspects have gotten involved in the legislative investigative into Governor Palin’s dismissal of Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan. To date, we have the Obama campaign, the Troopers’ [...]

Benjamin Franklin organized America’s first volunteer fire dept way back in Philadelphia long before anyone thought we should be our own country.   He must be smiling about the volunteer fireman and US Army Sgt.  who saved a man’s life using his firefighter training.  http://www.journal-news.net/page/content.detail/id/510254.html 

Like every conservative I speak of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy with tongue dripped in sarcasm.   Here are the Dems shaking in their boots over those nasty right wingers, while the nasty right wingers are bashing each other over the head over whether or not Edmund Burke was a “crunchy conservative” (he wasn’t.)   The reason [...]

Barak Obama is Time’s Man of The Year.  Does this make me the first person to predict the Time Man of 08?  If he wins if he loses, doesn’t matter he will be Time’s Man of the Year.  I bet the cover design is already done.

In what should have been a out-partys' year historically, the Financial Times reported congressional Democratics fear Obama may screw up their chances to gain seats and perhaps to retain the '06 electoral gains. After all, the Obama ticket is warmed-over '72 McGovernism. Although McGovern promised $1k to every man, woman, and child causing actor John [...]

At the Memorial Service I attended today the City of San Diego representative, whose name and title completely escaped me, compared 9/11 to our San Diego wildfires.  Not at all the same and a most unfitting comparison I thought.  Powerlineblog.com links to this article http://www.nydailynews.com/opinions/2007/09/11/2007-09-11_we_must_always_remember.html by the sister of one killed on 9/11.  She states the difference far [...]

Today the Young Prince and I went down to San Diego to attend the 9/11 ceremony at the Civic Center:  http://photos.signonsandiego.com/080911memorials The ceremony was sparsely attended as was the one we attended last year.  It isn’t very surprising that in the middle of a work day few people have time to sit and listen to [...]

Much of the substance of this election comes down to this question: “do we want people with values like those held by the leadership of the American Library Association – in general – and Judith Flint and Amy Grasmick – in particular – to be in control of this country and guiding its children? Full [...]

Watching folks in the blogsphere analyze polls is driving me batty.  Once again there is a gigantic, big eared elephant sitting in the middle of the room and no one wants to notice it.  Everyone is talking margins of errors and likely voters vs. leaning voters and no one wants to state the most obvious problem.  [...]

While Obama frets that he is being bullied, oh poor sweet baby, and Palin Derangement Syndrome is spreading faster than even the Bush version, our brave armed forces are kicking butt and taking names.   http://www.nysun.com/foreign/american-raids-penetrating-pakistan/85460/ My own personal favorite living American, General Petraeus is going to do in the Afghan/Paki border what he did in [...]

Ben Boychuk has an article up on NRO today.  http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=ZDg5NWIyYTIyNmY3MjdkNmQ5NTIzOWFlOGFjNzliMWI=   I used to visit him in college and now he is a full fledged member of the VRWC, I am all choked up.

Howdy all, a few Interesting Items for your information. Enjoy – In this issue: 1. Palin 2. McCain 3. Oil 4. Sunspots 5. Takeover 1. Palin. It is now eleven days since John McCain asked Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to be his running mate, and it has been a wild ride indeed. Palin’s selection has [...]

Okay let me see if I can get al this straight.  First liberal feminists say that sexual harrasment is a terrible crime which makes a man unfit for public office.  Then they said it was okay if a Democrat does it.  First they said that one woman’s word is all that is necessary and we [...]

Rush was praising Senator McCain today.  Rush was exuberant and enthusiastic about Senator McCain today. Told you it was a good speech.

I thought every GOP Convention had to end with someone singing God Bless America?  Now this is a disapointment
