Written by a housewife, to her daily newspaper, a national UK paper. This is one ticked off lady.
Monday, November 1st, 2010 under Domestic, Foreign Policy and International, Multiculturalism, Politics, War and Terrorism‘Are we fighting a war on terror or aren’t we? Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores in July, 2002, and in New York Sept 11, 2001 and have continually threatened to do so since?
Were people from all over the world, not brutally murdered that day in London , and in downtown Manhattan , and in a field in Pennsylvania ?
Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didn’t they?
And I’m supposed to care that a few Taliban were claiming to[…]

Saturday, October 23rd, 2010 under Climate, Domestic, Education, Foreign Policy and International, Politics, Taxes & EconomyI have posted some videos over on YouTube. They’re all under or just at 2 min running time, except one (Education), that is about 3 min due to the amount of included video from other sources. Please review them if you get a chance and think they’ll be of interest to you. Thanks.
The first is a comment on the amazing concept of Jerry Brown running for Governor of CA… again.
I think everyone in the Western World, and certainly policy-makers in China and Russia, as well, understands that California is going bankrupt, and that public sector unions are the primary cause.
And[…]

Tuesday, October 19th, 2010 under Domestic, Foreign Policy and International, Politics, The Rest of the WorldFar be it for our American President to publicly congratulate (let alone even mention) AMERICAN ingenuity and AMERICAN PRIVATE ENTERPRISE for the miracle rescue of the Chilean Miners.
Schramm Inc. of West Chester, Pennsylvania built the drills and equipment used to reach the trapped miners.
Center Rock Company, also from Pennsylvania, built the drill bits used to reach the miners.
UPS, the US shipping company, delivered the 13-ton drilling equipment from Pennsylvania to Chile in less than 48 hours.
Crews from Layne Christensen Company of Wichita Kansas, and its subsidiary Geotec Boyles Bros., worked the drills and machinery to locate and reach the miners, and then enlarge the holes to ultimately[…]

Tuesday, October 12th, 2010 under Domestic, Foreign Policy and International, Politics, War and TerrorismIn order to understand many of the problems in the world today one must come to grips with the fact that “Liberal” “Diplomacy” is a contradiction in terms.
(I use quotes around “liberals” of today because they are actually the opposite of classical liberalism, which championed the individual against the State. “Liberals” today are exactly the opposite of that, championing the State at the expense of the individual. But they are too badly-educated to understand this.)
Look at the post-1968 world of “Liberals.” “Liberals” don’t believe in consequences. Really. How many gun control laws have they passed? Do they ever, you know,[…]

Wednesday, September 22nd, 2010 under Foreign Policy and International, War and TerrorismThe Israelis are developing an airport security device that eliminates the privacy concerns that come with full-body scanners at the airports. They have a booth that you can step into that will not X-ray you, but will detonate any explosive device you may have on you.
No more waiting in long lines; no more removing your shoes, belt, jacket, hat, watch, cell phone, coins, laptop….
No false positives - if you don’t have any explosives on you, you walk on out. If you do, you get blown-up by YOUR OWN explosives.
No evidentiary issues. No slick lawyer getting you off. No racial profiling.
This[…]

Wednesday, September 15th, 2010 under Domestic, Foreign Policy and International, Multiculturalism, Politics, The Rest of the World, War and Terrorism
Here’s a question for you:
Why, in this nation of tolerant people, is THIS acceptable, but THIS is not?
Hmmm?
I ask the tolerant multiculturalists among us.

Monday, September 13th, 2010 under Domestic, Foreign Policy and International, Politics, The Rest of the World, War and TerrorismCongressman Ryan and Arthur Brooks write in the Wall Street Journal today that the choice this November isn’t between parties or candidates - it’s between two stark choices of the future: Will America remain the wealthy free-market country and international beacon of freedom and liberty it has for over 200 years, or will we devolve into the failed European social welfare model?
Unfortunately Ryan and Brooks understate the issues involved.
The choice is not between two models, each of which delivers some definition of “success” to varying sub-groups of society at varying costs to society at-large, costs particularly borne by those sub-groups not[…]

Monday, September 13th, 2010 under Domestic, Foreign Policy and International, Politics, War and TerrorismIn case you have forgotten.. or in the event that, like me, you want to be able occasionally to review what happened on 9-11.
In memory of those who died in NY, DC, PA and IN far-off places fighting for our freedoms and liberties against a brutal totalitarian ideology that some still believe is a “religion,” and which MUST BE STOPPED.

Geert Wilders 9/11 Ground Zero Speech
–Andrew G. Bostom
Geert Wilders, the Dutch politician under threat of death from radical Islamists, gave a speech yesterday at Ground Zero that all Americans should pay attention to.
Dear friends,
May I ask you to be silent for ten seconds? Just be silent and listen. Ten seconds. And listen… What we hear are the sounds of life in the greatest city on earth. No place in the world, no place in human history, is as richly varied and vibrant[…]

Friday, September 10th, 2010 under Domestic, Foreign Policy and International, Politics, War and TerrorismWhen you get right down to it, Obama’s lack of willingness to take responsibility for his job is appalling.
We are America. We don’t accept stuff we don’t need to. We do whatever it takes to keep ourselves safe- from a Normandy landing to Hiroshima, from the Marshall Plan to rebuild Europe and keep them - and us - safe to overthrowing violent dictators feeding their subjects to dogs or putting people into shredders.
But here is our Commander-in-Chief, our president yesterday:
“There is always going to be the potential for an individual or a small group of individuals, if they are willing to[…]
