REFLECTIONS

I haven’t enjoyed a George F. Will column this much in I don’t know how long:  http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/11/03/AR2010110303844.html?nav=hcmoduletmv Moral: don’t play George Will.  I’m guessing the POTUS won’t be coming over for dinner again anytime soon.

So now that we’ve, or rather Minnesota and Wisconsin, established that the GOP will not be a rump party confined to the south, when do we see the stories about the Democrat Rump Party?   Will the MSM be reporting that the Democrats are now confined only to most of the Northeast and, God help [...]

Juan Williams was fired for saying what most Americans think but are afraid to say out loud.  Because in the land of free speech, some speech is more free than others.  I get nervous when I fly with Muslims, or ride a bus or train.  Am I an Islamaphobe?  Muslims have been brutally killing people [...]

So now the Dems are promising if we just let them keep their jobs they won’t make Nancy Pelosi speaker.  Let me tell you something, it’s not Pelosi we  hate, it’s all the Legislation she sponsored and you voted for.    Pelosi isn’t the problem; the government uber alles philosophy of the Democratic party is the [...]

Yid With Lid looks at the “slippery slope” of banning food stamps from buying soda. http://yidwithlid.blogspot.com/2010/10/nys-soda-ban-for-food-stamps-first-step.html Yid’s commentator Right Wing Extreme hits the nail on the head.   This is not the government banning private citizens from using their own hard earned money.  This is the government regulating what citizens can do with other people’s hard [...]

So why don’t I post much anymore?   And what about my sworn duty to tell the stories of American’s heroes fighting to protect us in Iraq and Afghanistan?  Well as I mentioned before I don’t have much to say except I told you So.  Everything I had to say about Obama I said before the election.   I [...]

I am sorry I must speak ill of the dead.  But it was obvious to me from his columns that Joseph Sobran hated Jews and I hated him right back.  Don’t tell me I didn’t understand him.  I read his columns for years first in National Review, then in Conservative Chronicles.  After a while his [...]

The dedicated folks at the Oceanside Tea Party are hosting a Tea Party on Oct 10 at the Oceanside Amphitheater.  A day at the beach and a chance to stand for liberty all in one lovely package.  Here are the details people http://www.stoptaxingus.com/uploads/10.10.10_Tea_Party_C_458B3D.pdf

ENJOY LIFETHERE IS NO AFTER-LIFE That was the billboard I saw this week as I was speeding north on US-26 just outside of Watertown, Wisconsin. At my car-speed I just barely saw the sponsor of it: I think it was call `freedom from religion.’ Playing the devil-advocate (an apt title in this case) I thought: [...]

It almost always is. In the case of the “Ground Zero Mosque” debate however, this quickly gets lost amongst the “we have a right to build it” vs. the “it’s hallowed ground, move it” arguments. Sure, they may indeed have the right to build there, but the key really is this: they ask — nay, [...]

One thing that many Americans forget is the people from different cultures are, well … different. What we see as cooperative and supportive some others see as weak. If we are going to be true to the multiculturalist ideal, then we have to learn to address those other cultures on their own terms. For example, [...]

Andrew McCarthy, who prosecuted the 1st World Trade Center bombers, states the truth, bold and unflinching.  Such an Islam, over nine long years, would have risen up and made itself heard. It would have identified by name and condemned with moral outrage the imposters purporting to act in its name. It would have honored America’s [...]

Professor Hanson says everything so much better than I ever could I don’t know why I blog instead of just posting links to him.  We are reaching the point where the damage done to America’s image by 50 book-burners is outweighed by the damage done by hypersensitivity on the part of the United States government, [...]

After spending all morning trying to properly frame a response to our webmaster’s comments on the Koran, I go over to Pajama’s media and find out that John Adams said it better than I ever could 200 years ago.  Adams states that Mohammed is “a military fanatic” who “denies that laws were made for him; [...]

Last night, I went to the movies. I do not like to preview them. The movie I pick was the next one showing. It was Nanny McPhee Return. While I don’t want Nanny McPhee, I do need her to help civilised us. Please, help us, Nanny!

In recent times, destroying the sacred objects of whom one think of as non-believers to one’s own belief system has become very popular. I understand the fruitlessness in convincing other people, who disrespect one’s own sacred things, to be civil. [from 1995 to 2003 I attempted to remind some of my fellow Townhall chatters to [...]

Our webmaster linked to this post at the American Spectator blog http://spectator.org/blog/2010/09/05/president-barack-obama-to-be-r .  It must be hard to know that the majority of Americans don’t think you’re doing a very good job.  But what’s it like to know that the people who don’t like you REALLY DON’T LIKE YOU? Now that is the silliest question yet.  Does [...]
