When the Truth Hurts

When Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar and North Dakota Senator Kent Conrad recently appeared on Chris Wallace’s Fox News Sunday, Wallace said to Senator Klobuchar:

“According to the latest Rasmussen poll — and let’s put it up on the screen — 57 percent of voters given a choice between do nothing … or pass this bill … say it would be better to pass no health-care reform bill. Only 34 percent say it would be better to pass the bill. Senator, don’t Democrats run a considerable political risk when you’re going to pass major legislation with no bipartisan support over what seems to be almost a 2-1 opposition from the American people?” Read the rest of this entry »

Those who talk about the U.S. now coming of the “recession” are either fools or propagandists. Via health care, cap and trade, and other wildly unconstitutional measures, BHO and the criminal Congress will assure that the economy is many times worse off by next November’s elections than it is now. The objective, of course, is to bring people to their knees so they will have “no other choice” but to look to benevolent government for help.

I believe that 20-25 percent unemployment is coming … more massive bailouts of companies “too big to fail” are coming … higher taxes are coming … government
controlled health care is coming … cap and trade is coming … and, yes, jail time for those who do not obey the unconstitutional edicts of the criminal class in Washington is coming. Read the rest of this entry »

In a 2008 radio interview, Barack Obama said:

“ … the Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth, and of more basic issues such as political and economic justice in society. To that extent, as radical as I think people try to characterize the Warren Court, it wasn’t that radical. It didn’t break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution, at least as its been interpreted and the Warren Court interpreted in the same way, that generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties.” Read the rest of this entry »

Saul, Barack, and Me, Part II

In the Prologue to Rules for Radicals, Saul Alinsky expressed his contempt for “the Weathermen and their like,” pointing out that there are no rules for revolution, but there are “rules for radicals who want to change the world.”

He believed in “a pragmatic attack on the system,” and pointed out that the rules one follows make “the difference between being a realistic radical and being a rhetorical one who uses tired old words and slogans” — e.g., “pig” (for police), “white fascist racist,” and “motherf_____.” He felt that by acting in such a stereotypical fashion, young radicals only succeeded in turning people off.

Most readers have probably not noticed it, but in all the articles I’ve written about BHO, I have never referred to him as “President Obama” except when quoting someone else. As you might have assumed, this has not been by accident.

I’ll never forget the time I was standing in line at a bookstore, chatting with someone about BHO. A stranger standing a couple of people away from me overheard my comments and abruptly admonished me, “Whether you like it or not, he’s our president.” Read the rest of this entry »

I caught a lot of heat for my recent article “One Person at a Time,” so much so that I felt compelled to respond. The paragraph that sent a lot of readers into outer space was this one:

“I don’t think we ever should have gone into Vietnam, but, once there, we could have ended the affair in one day by dropping a nuke on Hanoi — and saving thousands of lives and billions of dollars in the process. Now, President Wuss is timidly keeping a minimum of American troops in Afghanistan, where thousands more are sure to get maimed and killed. But that quagmire, too, could be ended in one day by dropping a nice, neat string of nuclear bombs on the mountains between Afghanistan and Pakistan.” Read the rest of this entry »

In response to two of my recent articles — “The Beckoning of the Serpents” and “The Dismissal Strategy” – reader johnwolfe53 wrote the following blog post:

Several days ago you published a letter from a reader decrying professional sports as a subversive influence in society. Your comments following the reader’s note seemed to agree with him on many of the points he raised. The tone of the letter and, sadly, of your comments was borderline offensive.

I’m old enough to remember when America was guided by certitudes, pride, and resolve. The old-fashioned America didn’t go to war very often, but when it did, the aggressor on the other side soon found it had made a terrible mistake.

Unfortunately, today’s America is driven by an insatiable desire for oil and an arrogant desire to save other countries from themselves. Even more unfortunately, these two desires require vast amounts of money, wasted lives, and frequent wars. Read the rest of this entry »
