In This Dimension

Go Hillary!

Let’s put Hillary’s refusal to quit in perspective and think of the mighty benefit to America that could accrue from her nomination.

Should Hillary receive the nod from the Evian-filled backrooms of the Democrat Party next weekend every reason exists to expect African-America voters to be annoyed. Perhaps to the point either of staying home or even voting for McCain, a Republican who has gone further than any other national leader in trying to pull the GOP back to Right-Center where it must be to govern responsibly, perhaps even to win again – at all.

African Americans would benefit more than any[…]

Democrats and Children - not

Who are “Reagan Democrats” to whom Hillary also appealed, but who seem also to have little use for Obama and his hard-left San Francisco Liberals?

Reagan democrats are Demos with children. That’s why they don’t vote for people like McGovern, Dukakis, Gore, Kerry and why they won’t vote for Obama.

This is as opposed to the elite, academics and young voters who don’t have children – and who did vote for those America defeated, and who will vote for Obama – who will be defeated.

Leftist students may grow into Reagan democrats or Republicans when they grow up – or not. Either way if[…]

Memorial Day Differences

President Bush on Memorial Day, 2008:

“On this Memorial Day, I stand before you as the Commander-in-Chief and try to tell you how proud I am at the sacrifice and service of the men and women who wear our uniform. They’re an awesome bunch of people and the United States is blessed to have such citizens.”

Barack Obama on Memorial Day, 2008:

“On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes — and I see many of them in the audience here today [emphasis added] — our sense of patriotism is particularly strong…”

“Memorial Day honors those who have died in our nation’s[…]

Cap and Spend

From today’s WSJ. If you think you - and your kids - can stand trillions of dollars of taxes, you should support this huge Democrat program.
 
On the other hand, if you realize that:

• the planet has been COOLING since 1998

• that the temperature dropped last year 0.7 degrees C (fastest temperature drop in history)

• that sunspot activity is at its lowest since the late 18th Century (which gave us decades of enormously cold winters and defeated Napoleon in Russia)

• and that the planet has been MUCH WARMER in the past 600 years than it is now (its discoverer’s did not name it Greenland because it had miles of[…]

Cap and Trade Ignorance

From May 27 Wall Street Journal; Cap and Trade in Congress = $2.8 Trillion of new taxes.  If you think you - and your kids - can stand trillions of dollars of taxes, you should support this huge Democrat program.
 
On the other hand, if you realize that

Why Are We Still in Iraq?

Why are we still in Iraq 5 years after the invasion and toppling of the regime of Saddam Hussein?

1. The multilateral entry into Iraq (more countries joined the invasion than invaded the Normandy beachhead in the invasion of Europe in World War 2) was premised on several factors. Among them:
     a. Iraq’s relationship with known terrorists
     b. Iraq’s push to develop nuclear weapons
     c. Iraq’s push to develop biological weapons

2. At the time of the invasion the intelligence service of every major power – all G8 countries – agreed that Hussein was developing nuclear weapons. An earlier reactor the French had built with him at[…]

Biden v. Lieberman Provides Needed Levity

Sen. Joe Biden has finally provided some of the levity that has been lacking in this campaign with his hilarious response to Sen. Lieberman’s WSJ op-ed supporting a strong foreign policy.

Though Lieberman pointed out that the Democrats had lurched far from the historic roots of the Democrat Party, Sen Biden blames the GOP for moving the Democrats from their historic positions: “In fact, it is the policies that President George Bush… that are divorced from that great [Democratic] tradition.”

How’s that again? Aren’t GOP policies by definition divorced from DNC policies? I mean if all the voters believed in the DNC, we wouldn’t[…]

Mrs. Obama and the Whining Husband

Demonstrating yet again his unseriousness, naiveté and cluelessness, Obama now whines that people are disagreeing with his wife.

Sorry.

In our country everyone is equal and deserving of equal treatment. Volumes of books have been written, thousands of trees lumbered out, barrels of ink spilled in the past 40 years to ensure equality for women. A recent presidency was advertised as a “two-fer.”

Fine.

Acknowledgement that a spouse is the closest confidant and often the final advisor has been overlong in coming. I daresay it would be impossible to find a liberal in disagreement. Ask Hillary.

So now Obama’s wife, confidant, closest relation is to[…]

Why is Al Gore so Annoying?

Among the most irritating and annoying aspects of Al Gore’s presence to intelligent people is his manner of speaking. In tone, choice of words and in style and substance, he treats everyone always as completely stupid.

“The earth … has… a… f-e-v-e-r.”

Please – is this Sesame Street?

And this from a man who flunked out of Divinity School. (How, exactly, does one flunk out of Divinity School?)

Kerry talked down to everyone, too. No wonder these guys lost the presidency. And, yes, Gore lost, it wasn’t stolen. In fact if the voters who knew him best – his constituents in TN – had[…]

Death, Disaster and Building Codes

Avoiding huge death tolls in natural disasters isn’t rocket science – really.

100,000 deaths from a cyclone. 10,000 deaths from an earthquake. Why are these developing-world casualty numbers not replicated when a natural disaster hits, say, Japan or America?

Building codes.

Why don’t developing countries have building codes? Simple – they lack the wealth necessary to require, implement and enforce them.

Everyone agonizes over unnecessary deaths. Most deaths in a natural disaster are unnecessary. All that’s needed is wealth.

Who yammers most about the need to “do something” to help victims of these calamities? Who clamors for more aid, for more medicine, for more relief,[…]
