REFLECTIONS

Miss Ann Thrope is not very political.  She would, for instance, never let her conservatism get in the way of watching The West Wing, no matter how many times I razzed her about it.  She even once stupidly said it doesn’t even matter much who wins the Presidency.  (Don’t worry I never let her live [...]

Gov. Romney has flat out said the Palestinians do not want peace.   Since every “peace” agreement has led to more slaughter by the Palestinians you would think this would be an obvious statement.  But even the Republicans in DC have been running from this basic bit of truth for decades. http://www.jpost.com/USPresidentialrace/Article.aspx?id=285410 It took a [...]

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0512/76799.html  You are wasting your time hating Chris Hayes for his comments on the soldiers who defend his freedom.  He is being honest.  He is stating outright what every liberal I know thinks, but no liberal wants to go on television and tell the world.   Soldiers are heroes when they follow Obama’s orders but [...]

If you aren’t reading Caroline Glick, the internet is wasted on you.  http://www.jewishworldreview.com/0412/glick042012.php3

Amongst the many, many interesting comments about this dreadful commemoration, Powerline made a most significant point: It is significant, by the way, that in the wall-to-wall coverage we’ll see today, we won’t see two things: the media have assiduously avoided showing the awful video of the people who jumped from the towers, and we won’t [...]

This is not the end, nor the beginning of the end, nor even the end of the beginning.  The truth is we have not yet begun to fight.  Islam is at war with us, but we are only ever at war with certain people at certain times.  All subject to time of day and whims [...]

Like the corn of which a more wholesome America sang, the hypocrisy today  is as high as an elephant’s eye.   The USA celebrates that for which we condemn Israel: the single minded hunting and killing of a terrorist over many years.   http://pajamasmedia.com/tatler/2011/05/02/condemn-this-awful-act-of-illegal-american-violence/ The liberals meanwhile are rejoicing because President Obama has done that  for which President Bush was called [...]

The internet is alive with the sound of conservatives patting themselves on the back.  Aha!  they are shouting.  We are all neo-cons now!  Obama’s Libyan adventure has conservatives gloating “this proves Bush was right all along”. Oft-quoted is the remark by candidate Obama in 2007 that it is illegal for the President to go to [...]

Miss Ann Thrope thinks I am hysterical and need to be slapped.  I just never expected to laugh so much at the end of the world.  I mean come on now, it’s called Operation Odyssey Dawn.  Odyssey?  A 10 year mission in which everyone but the Captain went down with the ship.  How can that [...]

I have nothing to add, nothing to comment on the brutal murder of the Fogel family, including 3 children, except maybe a primal scream.  Nothing to say about the celebrations by the Palestinians except yeah I told you.  Caroline Glick ever more profound and precise than I has a must read column:  http://jewishworldreview.com/0311/glick031511.php3 All I [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Can you name three Representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, who with firm reliance on the prtection of Divine Providence, had mutually pledge to each other their Lives, their Fortunes and their sacred Honor? The answer will be told soon. (h/t Thomas Jefferson)

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, [...]

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 [...]

The sleeping giant awoke and snapped at a few gnats.  But the giant was surrounded by so many Lilliputians insisting that the giant was mean and cruel and the gnats were really a Religion of Peace.  Then the dark skinned man sang his song of apathy and appeasement and the sleeping giant went back to [...]
