Liberalism:An empty suit of ruins. The brilliant and studied Victor Davis Hanson is an American treasure and an almost-prophetic voice for our times. In “America on the Cusp of God’s Grace” I quote/refer to him quite extensively in “Part Three:Conflicting Ideologies”. The piece I’m about to segue` into following my intro, should be shouted from the rooftops…
Harry McConnell versus Mitch Reid – or is it vice-versa? RINOs? Trusted? Surely, that’s a joke. Because you can’t trust McConnell and Boehner to stop Obama any farther than you could throw Hillary and Pelosi. In a Facebook post the other day following the election and McConnell’s statement about the CR and this convoluted comment:…
Oh the hypocrisy of filthy lucre. While Dingie ‘Arry Reid moans and groans on a daily basis about his Koch Addiction, his back pocket swells and swells from illegal campaign donations from the wealthiest CEOs in the nation – most of whom run corporations with off-shore interests that don’t pay taxes. “Jeffrey Immelt” of GE…
Corruption in plain sight. As an opener to the lies and distortion that We The People have been exposed to for the past six years, I forget where I saw this, but thought it was brilliant at the time: This is a long sentence, so let me get this straight: We’re going to be gifted with…
Margaret Thatcher had a wonderful Maxim given to her by her father which began “Watch your thoughts for they become words” which goes on to finish “What we think, we become.” The office of President of the United States in former days commanded respect around the world, but the current occupant (who arguably couldn’t even…
In an editorial written for the Kansas City Star in 1918, Teddy Roosevelt famously declared about himself: To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but…
A world in chaos. Imagine US foreign policy so disastrous that it simultaneously allows 1) a nuclear Iran; 2) the reconstitution of the Soviet Union; 3) the abandonment of IRAQ and Afghanistan to terrorists with no US troop presence; 4) the reneging on deals with the Czech Republic and Poland to install missile defense shields…
Defense of the nation is the first priority of a responsible national leader, but unfortunately, we don’t have one of those; we have instead, an overseer of the Senate rules con game. News of severe cut-backs in military financing raises alarms about our ability to be ready to fight two wars simultaneously, and dares our…
John Kerry on climate – now there’s a paradox. He has had a sheltered life for most of his years on planet earth – save for those few months in Vietnam from which he returned and began to undermine his country; and even there, it was all more for show than substance. Forty-three years later…
George Orwell’s masterpiece has morphed into “Animal Farm as Fed Reserve” … “The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which .. This work was strictly voluntary, but any animal who absented himself from it…
