REFLECTIONS

Instapundit linked to a story about the green jobs boondogle in Newsweek  http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2011/10/16/obama-s-green-energy-agenda-flop.html  The article does it’s cheery liberal best to call the boondoggle a worthy experiement.  But the best part is the closting quote by my very own Senator Barbara brainless Boxer “There’s always a risk when you fund innovation, but if we abandoned [...]

From Barnes & Nobles, I downloaded the sample of Mark Steyn’s newest book, After America: Get Ready for the Armageddon, It is a nasty remembrance of the mess humankind keeps getting itself into constantly throughout its history. Some quotes from it: “There is the moral of all human tales; ‘tis but the same rehersal of [...]

“I keep thinking that insanity is a state where a person can’t tell what’s real.  Well what’s real now is insane and if I accepted it as real, I’d have to lose my mind wouldn’t I?”  Eddie Willers in Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand Yes I admit it I succumbed to peer pressure; I read [...]

Liberals are so maddening, so utterly removed from reality sometimes I think they are deliberately trying to Gaslight us.  If they just keep saying crazy things sooner or later we will all just lose our minds.  Today’s mind boggling liberal upside down craziness comes in the form of an absurd column at Pajamas Media about [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Okay let me see if I have this straight.   http://legalinsurrection.blogspot.com/2010/11/wikileaks-completes-obamas.html  Our nation’s most vital secrets can not be protected from anyone who cares to publish them.  BUT our Dept. of Homeland Security can molest little girls in airports?  When I said worse than Carter even I couldn’t imagine this.  At least Carter didn’t send government agents [...]

This is one of the most powerful posts I’ve read in a while.  http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2010/11/the_holocaust_denialminimizati.html

“The plumber is smarter than the Ben Bernanke”  well who didn’t know that?   If my country wasn’t destroying itself I would really love this http://spectator.org/blog/2010/11/16/bernanke-slammedby-teddy-bear Warning bad language.  The people smart enough to make this video are smart enough to come up with better ways to use their words.

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.
