REFLECTIONS

I had no idea just how many friends I have who are Japanese, or have family in Japan, until yesterday when I started anxiously watching twitter and facebook to make sure they and their loved ones were okay.   Besides the many Japanese skaters I know personally there are a host of others whose careers I [...]

The conservative civil war over Obama’s intentions is as I said before perfectly ridiculous http://marlettsmith.com/blog/index.php/2011/02/23/by-his-deeds/ But now that Obama himself has said he would prefer being a communist dictator  http://weaselzippers.us/2011/03/11/obama-it-would-be-so-much-easier-to-be-the-president-of-china/  will Medved and Ferguson and the rest of the wimps please shut up already. He likes Marxism, he likes dictatorial power, he hates being accountable [...]

Many people are astonished today to discover that NPR is loaded with anti-Christian and anti-Jewish bigots.   I am astonished at the astonishment.  The Left is overflowing with demagoguery, anti-Western values  and demonizing their opposition.  We KNOW this.  We’ve known this for years.  Yes now we have recorded evidence and that is great.  But there was [...]

This post by IowaHawk comparing Texas schools and Wisconsin schools is so well done I think we may have to require Iowahawk to be serious at least once a week.  http://iowahawk.typepad.com/iowahawk/2011/03/longhorns-17-badgers-1.html

If you are wondering what deep thoughts I have about the revolutions in the Arab world, rent Lawrence of Arabia.  When you get to the point where someone says “you are a little people barbarous and cruel,”  I’m done.  That’s as deep as my thoughts go. It amazes me how many people are convinced the [...]

The conservative civil war continues I see.  Being a conservative war it is fought only with words of course.  But Professor Sowell’s brilliant take down of Michael Medved this morning is as if the US Marines had attacked a boy scout troop.  ( Yes I know Marines would never do that.)  http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/260399/voices-moderation-thomas-sowell The question I [...]

Prof. Reynolds seems awfully upset that women can make babies without telling a man that is their intention http://pajamasmedia.com/instapundit/115043/ Cry me a river!  For the well being of the poor put upon men forced to financially support their unplanned progeny I have this one little bit of advice. It is a foolproof method that ensures [...]

People who mutilate baby girls are automatically denying the concept of universal human rights and are therefore unfit for democracy. That’s all I got.

When a nation seizes the fairly earned wages of its citizens in order to pay a misogynist to advertise a bankrupt automobile company, that nation deserves to fail. That’s all I got.

As an official Jewish mother I find nothing wrong with Sarah Palin describing what has been done to her as a Blood Libel.  Blood Libel is the false accusation of murders.  For millenia it has been the tool the Jew hater has used against the Jewish people.  It is still the tool used to this [...]

Okay let me see if I get this straight.   Faced with a psychopath who murdered half dozen people and critically wounded a sitting Congresswoman, lawmakers have decided the answer is legislation requiring a gun-free zone 1000 feet around all elected officials.  Now the psychopath has no respect for human life or laws protecting human life, but [...]

The House of Representative has decided to shut down for a week in light of the recent horror in Arizona.   This is such a bad idea.  One deeply disturbed individual gets the notoriety of his dreams with a horrifying act of mass murder.   That is heart wrenching and painful in of itself.   But now this one sick man will be [...]

If  you loathe the Constitution for the flaws it once contained, how can you in honesty take an oath to protect and preserve it?  If you took the oath only to obtain the office, but hold the Constitution in contempt, then your office and your service is a fraud.  http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2011/01/028085.php The guys at Powerline are [...]

I can’t top the Powerline guys when it comes to analyzing Palestinian Arabs so I am not going to even try This is, by a wide margin, the sickest culture on Earth, and for the foreseeable future, there isn’t anything that can be done about it. The only question is why do people like Condoleezza [...]

Trying to explain what public schools were like in the 1970s to my son is difficult.   He finds it easier to believe in wizards that play ball on broomsticks than to believe in what the best minds of the day thought were educational breakthroughs.  Recently I tried to explain to him why I never learned [...]

While visiting an art museum the Burkeanson was able to tell all the stories of Greek and Roman Mythology and the Old Testament, but he knew very little of the stories from the life of Christ.     He has read of Jesus and his impact in history books, but he knew very little of the parables and [...]

The GOP once again proves it is the party of suckers and wimps.   Look every rational person knows that tax increases hinder economic growth.  Tax increases are actually exercises in futility.   Tax revenues go down after a tax increase, because economic growth was stifled.  Ironically cutting taxes actually increases tax revenue because the greater growth [...]
