Below is the text of an email sent to the Israeli Ambassador to the United States, Michael Oren. It’s a short note of support and encouragement. It may not be much to counteract the snubs of the Obama Administration, but it’s something. After reading my short missive, if you too are inclined to write, then here’s the email of the Israeli Embassy: info@washington.mfa.gov.il Dear Ambassador | Read More »
My home schooled children learn poems as part of their curriculum. In fact, they memorize them (an often neglected discipline that well trains the mind). When they’ve got their poems committed to memory, they do a little recital in front of the family. The one my 8 year old is currently working on is called, “The Flag Goes By” (Henry Holcomb Bennett). My son favored | Read More »
In one short year, the Democrats have gone from the heights of electoral bliss to shocking defeats, culminating (thus far) with the election of Scott Brown to fill Ted ‘Chappaquiddick’ Kennedy’s old seat. In no uncertain terms, the radical excesses of Barack Obama’s socialistic plans to transform America into another European-like basket case were instrumental in turning the tide of public opinion again him and | Read More »
At some point in Barack Obama’s momentous life, he must have watched a football game (and for you liberals out there, I’m not talking about soccer). He may have even hosted a football themed party for some of his Chicago buds at his crib. Maybe William Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, and Tony Rezko all got together with Barry and tipped a few back whilst talking all | Read More »
I know there isn’t any official RedState Peace Prize (and I don’t have the authority to create one), but if there was one, this guy should be in the running. Sgt. Brett Bennethum is part of the 733rd Transportation Company based in Reading, Pa. He just deployed for Iraq. He will be doing the dangerous, yet humble work of transporting supplies into Iraq. Few war | Read More »
Obama has done plenty to deserve this honor and to join ranks gloriously stocked with giants of Nobel-ity like Yasir Arafat and Jimmy Carter. The fact that you cannot recognize this is a testament to your rank partisanship, which is obviously fueled by your homophobic racism. Did not Barack Obama . . . in less than one year as president, mind you . . . | Read More »
There are those who are unjust, cowardly, foolish, and uncontrolled. These unappealing traits rear their heads in a multitude of combinations; sometimes cowardice may balloon to the forefront and overshadow the rest, but the rest merely wait in the wings for their opportunity to rule the day. And, where do you find the unjust, the cowardly, the foolish, and/or the uncontrolled? Personally, I look no | Read More »
The news lately has served up plenty of reasons to think about education and public schools, and what it all fits into. We have seen Obama call for increasing the school year or the length of the school day. There was his “stay-in-school-and-study-hard” speech, with its concomitant pro-Obama (i.e. what can you do for the president?) study guide. Then, of course there are the seemingly | Read More »
We are all familiar with Obama’s habit of tossing former confidants, advisors, and friends under the bus whenever it suits him. Those times typically being whenever he feels that some association may tarnish his image as secular messiah. It’s gotten pretty crowded under Obama’s bus, but his ‘purges’ are pretty well known, surprisingly well accepted by the public, and hence, old news. Much more important | Read More »
The most evil ideologies are all finally merging into one axis. And, speaking of ‘one’, it took ‘The One’ to bring those ideologies from the back burner to the front burner and stew them together into one poisonous, anti-human pot. First off, we have the wonderful world of eugenics coming to full fruition in Barack Obama’s health care overhaul. QALY scores and rationing translate practically | Read More »
Most every parent warns their children to be careful about the company they keep. The company you keep, parents know, is a reflection on who you are and what you value. Hang around with riff-raff and odds are you are just as delinquent as your chums . . . or soon will be; after all, birds of a feather do indeed flock together. This piece | Read More »
Obama, the ultimate cult-of-personality empty suit, wins the presidency of the United States in fall 2008. The results thus far? A weakened foreign policy complete with worldwide apology tours A “stimulus” bill Trojan horse to European style socialism Tax payer funded abortions overseas An outright racist selected for the Supreme Court The very real possibility of cap and trade, another Trojan horse delivering sky high | Read More »
The statement, “Government can solve all ills,” rises to the level of a category error. More specific examples are: The government’s war on poverty . . . category error. The government’s attempt to solve all inequities, racial, gender, whatever . . . category error. And nowadays, the government as the means to all Americans (and illegal aliens) being covered by health insurance . . . | Read More »
The evidence? Barack Obama declares the end of Judeo-Christian influence in the United States: “Whatever we once were, we’re no longer just a Christian Nation; we are also Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu Nation, and a nation of non-believers.” Barack Obama in an email to CBN News, June 2007 And again in 2009: “We do not consider ourselves a Christian | Read More »
Somewhat over a week ago, I put up a post on the Red Envelope Campaign. On March 31st, 2009, Americans were asked to send an empty red envelope addressed to Barack Obama at the White House. On the back of the envelope, folks were asked to write the following statement: “This red envelope represents one child who died because of an abortion. It is empty because | Read More »
Good day my fellow Americans. I want to share some of my thoughts on babies. In doing so, I remind you that I’m not a Johnny-come-lately on this topic. Back in November, 2006, I spoke thusly on the topic of babies: “In an interconnected world, the defeat of international terrorism babies– and most importantly, the prevention of these terrorist organizations babies from obtaining weapons of mass | Read More »
I was reading Cynthia Tucker’s syndicated column in the March 22nd, 2009 edition of my Sunday newspaper. Tucker is a columnist for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Her op-ed columns are the equivalent of a hair shirt for me. For those unfamiliar with a “hair shirt”, this was an old practice of many saints who would fashion a garment out of some kind of course, uncomfortable material. | Read More »
This evening (3/19/09), Barack Obama appeared on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. He was the first sitting president to ever appear on a late night talk show. During his appearance he was asked about his poor bowling performance during the campaign. Obama quipped about bowling a 129 at the bowling alley installed within the White House. He described his performance thusly: “It’s like special | Read More »
When Barack Obama reversed the Mexico City Policy, the money spigot for funding foreign abortions started to flow once again. The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) is a recipient of some of this cash, your tax dollars. And, are they ever grateful! They’re also not at all ashamed to admit what they plan to use it for. Here’s UNFPA Executive Director, Thoraya Ahmed Obaid’s statement of | Read More »
The Washington Times published an article today about the flood of children’s books about Barack Obama . . . most of which were published before he became president. Here, children from 5 to young adults/teenagers are being offered a catechesis in the Oba-religion. In these emotion laden tomes, kids learn to idolize Obama. Perhaps, after digesting these books, they too will experience the epiphany of an | Read More »
