I remember the time when books in America could be banned for “offensive content,” when “banned in Boston” Yes! BOSTON!) was a badge of honor for authors pushing for realism in their novels (realism = sex scenes or filthy language) or for the freedom to discuss potentially offensive topics in non-fiction. Liberals were the ones pushing for nearly absolute FREEDOM OF SPEECH because they were | Read More »
Senator Howard Baker of Tennessee famously boiled down the Watergate probe to a double-edged question: What did the president know, and when did he know it? Our question about Benghazi is even simpler: WHO ordered our forces to stand down, rather than attempt a rescue? Some nice articles about Benghazi are being written, but some tend to orbit around this one simple, salient question, rather | Read More »
Pontius Pilate Says Hello to John Boehner, Mitch McConnell, Lindsay Graham, et al. As an expert on practical politics, I have been asked to comment on the current controversy about you and certain other Republican politicians “caving” in to their apparent enemies, betraying their principles, etc. etc. etc. First of all, as a practical politician, I offer you my basic philosophy distilled down to three | Read More »
While in my local Catholic Church on December 23rd, I again contemplated the mystery of the Suffering God, a God Whose creation demanded the logic of free will, which therefore demanded the logic of allowing evil. The mystery of the Creator humbling Himself to show us the necessity of suffering also came to mind. Recently I have reviewed some parts of Saint Augustine’s The City-State | Read More »
Truly, a Nobel Prize has become meaningless, at least in Economics. Krugmoron has an article called The Twinkie Manifesto where he calls for bringing back confiscatory class-warfare tax rates imposed by the Dems. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/19/opinion/krugman-the-twinkie-manifesto.html?ref=opinion He uses an article from Fortune magazine to claim that top executives in the good ol’ days were forced to live like real middle-class Americans without yachts and mansions. Sorry, but | Read More »
The litany continues: Romney is a Mormon, which fact alienated Evangelical Christians, and perhaps Catholics, who again gave a majority of their votes to a supporter of infanticide. Romney is almost a generation older than the Kool slam-dunkin’ Afro-American dude, and therefore Romney did not attract the 18-35 group, who are more than happy to hear that MAObama might cancel their college debts. Romney is | Read More »
I read articles and stories every day about how Romney is slowly inching to a lead here and there, that the election is still a toss-up, that states in a miserable economic condition are still voting for MAObama. How is this possible? Unfortunately the answers are not good, even if they seem to be. Answer I. The election will not be close, because the MSM | Read More »
And so… BIG BRObama says that the murder of an ambassador and 3 other embassy staff by Islamofascists is a “bump in the road.” His minions claim that it was nothing big, and that Romney is blowing it out of proportion to create “a campaign issue.” But we expect such an attitude from someone who “leads from behind,” the stupidest phrase ever uttered in American | Read More »
I was absolutely fascinated by the delusional – and therefore absolutely scary – comments on an article in the New York Times about BIG BRObama’s post-debate attack on Romney. By somebody from New York: If Romney is already threatening to take away Big Bird, just imagine what he’ll do to you once he’s elected. It takes an idiot go on live national television and threaten | Read More »
Those with and without military expertise are expecting the middle of the October to be the best time for an Israeli strike against Iran. The most moonlight of the month will occur with the full moon on October 12th, which would aid any night-time raid on Iran’s nuclear weapons bases. I suspect that the catalyst may be an assumption by the Israeli government that MAObama | Read More »
