CELEBRATE THE INDOMINABLE AMERICAN SPIRIT
VICTORY OVER TERROR From the ashes, the emergency responders – the trustworthy and dedicated firemen of New York City – raise Old Glory. “…[A]nd our flag was still there,” remember that. Believe in the American spirit. It is fearless, tireless, but above all, a living thing. It remembers but it moves forward. Celebrate that spirit […]
Sen. Thune Threatens Tea Party Movement Could Be a 3rd Party by 2012. Where’s Sarah?
October 3, 2010
John Thune’s Wikipedia bio is up to date – it even mentions a possible Presidential bid for the South Dakota Senator. Since defeating former Senate Minority Leader Tom Dashel in 2004, his head has barely been out of the clouds it seems. He is pretty much a mirror of Sarah Palin but unlike Mrs. Palin, […]

Al Jazeera Article Incites Opposition to US in the So-Called “Militarization” of Border with Mexico
September 18, 2010
Comments Off
I have often quoted al Jazeera in this space. Their reporting is, for the most part, well-researched and fairly straight on. But I reprint here a recent article that had my blood at the boil. It is the most slanted propaganda I have seen on that site in a while and not well-researched. They have […]
Alons, The French Ban the Veil and Re-Assert Import of Fraternity, Egality
September 14, 2010
The French are baaaaack. The stormers of the Bastille are alive and well and leading the way with courage. The Senate has just passed a bill banning the wearing of face-coverings in public.

Running Away From 9/11 Anniversary
September 12, 2010
How many times can I tolerate looking at the planes hitting the twin towers at Ground Zero in NYC? After this year, not one more time. This year more than at any other time, the build up to the anniversary was marred by the press coverage of mini-madmen and their schemes such as burning the […]

Just when we need to be reassured that there is a kind and caring God, the genius physicist Stephen Hawking reappears on the galactic horizon with a new book in which he pulls back from a previous position that God may have had something to do with the creation of the universe. He has moved […]
Obama – HELP! We’re Losing Jobs, Yes but Hell, We’re Losing Arizona to Cartels
September 2, 2010
It appears Washington has surrendered to the drug cartels or perhaps Obama has served up the state to them because of the immigration law they passed. Did he “turn a page” we missed? The Arizona Governor went to Washington to get help. She got road signs: One Arizona sheriff has said: “Mexican drug cartels literally […]
She Lies, She Threatens and She’s Cheap: Chasing the Palin Persona
September 2, 2010
Sarah Palin’s control over her exposure to the media has been so successful that a whole new breed of investigative journalist has been born: the Persona Papparazi. They’re after her essence – what makes her tick – what makes her ticked off. They do everything conceivable to move in next door to her, follow her […]
First They Came for the Anonymous Bloggers…
July 25, 2010
Two of CNN’s morning hosts who will remain anonymous (why give them any more publicity, eh?) have in all seriousness proposed an end to or regulation of anonymous blogging that seems to encourage smearing and slander. This they say is the “teachable moment” of the Shirley Sherrod affair. [Newsbusters] Hello. Andrew Breitbart is not an […]
