Free Speech: Endangered Species


So the Brit at NR http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/296004/derb-and-discourse-john-osullivan  has joined the Canadian at NR http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/295591/re-derb-mark-steyn in condemming the firing of John Derbyshire. That’s not surprising.  Canada and Great Britain have jettisoned free speech for Political Correctness.  Mark Steyn was actually prosecuted for committing the heinous offense of writing his opinions in public.    Of course they would take threats to free excerisice of speech more seriously; [...]

the rush to flush, again


The Daily Beast headline reads, “Rush Limbaugh Isn’t the Only Media Misogynist.” Over in the social media he is taking a beating this past weekend with a renewed efforts to get his advertisers to dump him. It is less than two hours before Rush’s show begin. Daily Beast article

Can Liberals Hear Themselves Part Infinite


PJTV has video of some left wing racists saying that “conservatives like Cain because he knows his place.” Meaning he is an Uncle Tom. http://pjmedia.com/tatler/2011/10/28/dem-wit-gop-likes-cain-because-hes-a-black-man-who-knows-his-place/ As always The biggest problem with the liberals ravings is reality.   Mr. Cain’s place is CEO of a nationwide business. Which, if it means what the libereral says, instead [...]

We don’t need the “electable” candidate


I hate people telling us that we must vote for the one who is the most “electable” candidate.  Because, when it comes to Republicans, “electable” is code for “most like a Democrat”.  They think that only a democrat, or one who is like a democrat can get elected.  I am TIRED of  actual conservative candidates being tossed [...]

New Social Media in Town


For over the Summer I have been using Google plus (g+, gplus). I have been less here on Reflection and Twitter. My Facebook while usually sparse has declined almost non-existent. My first experience with any kind of social medium was back in the early tenth decade of the past century. It was the orginal Town [...]

Are you a federalist or an anti-federalist?


Last Monday night as I was watching the second Republican presidential debate, I was thinking about the political labels we assigned to our public servants and to ourselves. Conservatives and Liberals, Libertarians and Progressives, Right-wingers and Left-wingers…. It was during the question about gay marriage where the candidates chose between federal constitutional amendment or leave [...]

Hysterical blindness


Last week the wise and Solomon-like President Obama declared that the Palestinian/Israeli conflict could be solved by the simple act of returning Israel to the borders it had before it was attacked by the combined forces of Egypt, Syria and Jordan. The man is a genius! However … and this must clearly be my own [...]

This is how it’s done


The Reverend Phelps and his gang were thwarted in Mississippi recently, prevented from disrupting the funeral of Staff Sgt. Jason Rogers by a little illegal parking and some tow trucks which were conveniently busy elsewhere …

Leave it to the Pros


“The Weapon”, a book focusing on the struggle between an increasingly restrictive world government and a colony based upon libertarian (some might say anarchic) philosophy, was published in late 2005. It’s author, Michael Williamson, maintains that he thought he had been writing fiction when he wrote this (emphasis mine): “If it’s not in your training, don’t try to do [...]

Dog Bites Man


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 [...]

Dark Mood


I have been silent after my return from the tea party yesterday that was in support of the Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker. I shall write later about the disturbing reflections I had as I walk among the public-service employees through their picket line.

Hardened Hearts


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.

Speechless …


There are some things that just leave me too speechless to comment rationally upon. This is one of them. Fayetteville, North Carolina,  home of Fort Bragg, is planning a 10-day celebration and homecoming this November to honor Vietnam Vets.  As part of this celebration, Fayetteville Mayor Tony Chavonne has decided to “honor” the Vets by [...]
