Moral and Ethical Socialism
In the founding days of our country, ethics and morals were based on principles espoused by Judeo-Christian religion. These strictures didn’t just pop out of thin air. They were developed or revealed, depending on your faith, over thousands of years. The ten commandments were an encapsulation of these morals, but the structure [...]
Tempest in a Teapot
Last Friday (May 23, 2008), Hillary Clinton, in explaining how campaigns had lasted into June, invoked her husband’s campaign in 1992 and characterized Robert Kennedy’s June campaigning as, to the effect, we all remember Robert Kennedy was assassinated in June.
Once these words were spoken the political correctness nazis of the Left and the Right began [...]
Carter’s Second Term
With Obama relentlessly calling a possible McCain presidency Bush’s Third Term, it becomes imperative that we all start calling Obama’s campaign, a quest for Carter’s Second Term.
Clinton was too much poll driven and actually governed from the center-left through his triangulation strategy. Obama, being the hard core leftist that his history indicates, would [...]
Conservatives Lack Leadership/GOP Flounders
David Brooks wrote an interesting article today attacking the recently passed Farm Bill. The most cogent of his remarks were at the very beginning:
In 1965, Mancur Olson wrote a classic book called “The Logic of Collective Action,” which pointed out that large, amorphous groups are often less powerful politically than small, organized ones. He [...]
Human Guilt - A Variant of White Guilt
What drives radical environmentalists to promote acts that will diminish humanity? Why is Human-caused Global Warming a reason to shut down the progress of the human race in the last 400 years?
Perhaps it is a version of the self-hate that white liberals have been carrying on their backs for the last 50 years. [...]
Feelings of Entitlement
When we think of the word hubris, we think of overweening pride, a self-lifting up of one’s ego. When applied to politicians, hubris becomes a common adjective. However when we look at the presidential race, we are awash in hubris.
John McCain has his share of hubris, but the bonus levels go to Obama [...]
“The Lady Doth Protest Too Much, Methinks”
This line is from Hamlet where Hamlet’s mother, the queen, observes a play within the play and comments on the character queen’s actions. In Shakespeare’s day, the word protest was used more as vow or declaration. In our current vernacular, we often take the quote to mean that when a person vociferously denies [...]
Sacrilege
With the transfiguration of Barack Obama into a Holy Man, the MEDIA AND THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN are currently instituting rules of engagement. In fact, what they are doing is creating holy writ that contains dogma, taboos and commandments.
Any criticism of Obama is soon to be treated as sacrilege:
MATRIX 1138 - Progressives’ Dream
In the movie, The Matrix, mankind was relegated to pods. Their lives were merely managed dreams. The master computer’s programs ran the world. In the George Lucas flick, THX1138, mankind was managed. Everybody had a number and a profession. Everybody had a skin head.
In both of these movies everybody was taken care of by the “state”. There [...]
What do we do “after”?
I just finished Joel Rosenberg’s latest novel, Dead Heat. I read the first four books… this is the fifth and last of the series. I would put this one “Dead Last” in my ranking of the five books. I find that I am not an “End Times” fan.
SPOILER ALERT…
