REFLECTIONS

This is a good bumper-sticker for the federal elections this Fall.

Heard on BBC-radio world service and read on the Canadian National Post about the Holy Father and that “Forgiveness is not a substitute for justice” statement. Achieving justice against one’s trespassers is a temporary relief. Long-term peace can not be obtained from secular decrees. While forgiveness is not a substitute for justice, personal closure can [...]

All sustentacula of socialism (euro, american-lite et al) are falling into a colossal collapse.

The Democrats shan’t be historically known as socialists, fascists, corporatists, communists –though those types are all their ideological cousins — these Americans who are calling themselves as Democrats (Democratics as the radical left-wingers core-supporters insist their party members be called. See any Daily Kos post about it, @dailykos) will lend their name to the newest [...]

@BarackObama is in eastern Europe signing anti-nuclear treaty with Russia. He is reminding me of a fictional character from Allen Drury’s series Advise and Consent: President Edward Montoya Jason of California. The ending may be our prelude: All, all had gone wrong for the President of the United States.And not from evil intentions.But from good [...]

The so-called ‘guardians of a free republics’ are not Conservatives as Reflections understands the movement. We don’t threaten anybody, we defeat them at elections. Beware the kooks among our tea parties gatherings.

We all must stand behind the Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu, its now or never.

Are you better off than you were forty-eight hours ago?

Watertown, WI is wondering how much of its State’s $828 million of the $8billion federal “stimulus” funds they will get. In the Saturday issue of Watertown Daily Times the city awaits funding specifics on high speed rail depot proposal. Watertown is midway between Milwaukee and Madison. While I am a train traveler mainly the adult-beverages [...]

Yesterday I tweeted at #hcsummit while listening to XM-132 (C-SPAN radio) to the latest attempt to sell Americans that nationalising health care is progress. Our ideologue-in-chief was a bit too patronising toward his opposition. (See his treatment of his challenger in ’08, Sen. John McCain (R. AZ) for one example.) Over all, Mr. Obama scolded [...]

Aldous Huxley may have described the radical Lefts greatest fear: social instability. They want a world that is stable now. In their vision a national health system monitored by central regulations will bring the people what Mustapha Mond told the Savage is their goal; People are happy; they get what they want, and they never [...]

Recently, there are bill-boards, bumper-stickers, who knows what other means that has been asking “Miss me yet.” Yes, I missed George W. Bush as our President. I don’t miss his bend-over mccainish compromise toward the Democrats! (Really, why did start off your term as President by letting Ted Kennedy write the education bill? Who diss [...]

George Orwell in his 1984 novel did not take into account a woman can be just as ruthless little “il duce” as any man. ABCnews reports Big Sister shall be watching the Internet during the Olympics. Jason Ryan wrote, “As the winter Olympics begin, the Department of Homeland Security has disclosed that it will be [...]

What was/is your Israel Test? This is what George Gilder ask of his readers in his latest book. This is not just a question for the anti-Semites but for all of us. The future of the Western concept of liberty depends upon our answers. For myself my Israel Test occurred in ninth grade. After our [...]

In the Saint Bernard’s bulletin today there was drawn a comparison between some parishers and the game of football. Since this afternoon is the American feast to commericial hype I submit the following: Quarterback Sneak: Church members quietly leaving before the final blessing. [Forgetting Judas was the first early leaver. ]Benchwarmer: Those who do not [...]

With the second Boston Tea Party of yesterday it time to add to the Bill of Rights. Proposed Amendment 28 Section 1. Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives. Section 2. Congress shall make no law that applies [...]

Our Dear Leader had assumed power now for one year. The good news is he got no major social program through Congress and a Congress his party controls to the extent opposing parties have no influence. The bad news is we got three more years of the so-called progressive policies. [cough] It is not really [...]
