…of the Caliphate. Is history “torturing” us? Enhanced Interrogation Techniques “George Bush: I’m fine with Dick Cheney’s book”. “In his first comments on Dick Cheney’s new memoir, “In My Time”, former President George W. Bush said Thursday that he isn’t bothered by the book.” It was 9/11 that framed the Patriot Act, the use of “enhanced interrogation techniques” and kept America safe as of January 2012. In the book one finds what…
George Santayana, Spanish born American Philosopher, Poet and Humorist said, “Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it” This is a quote I’ve used before. Usually I don’t like to repeat myself but after today’s news story regarding Afghani President Karzai I feel I must. History is a funny thing; it displays the crowning successes and the devastating failures in plain language for all to see. However failure and success is a …
As we approach Thanksgiving, it’s instructive to remember the holiday was first proclaimed by President George Washington as “a day of public thanksgiving and prayer” prompted by the “duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor.” Painting of George Washington praying alone at Valley Forge, said to be based on an actual moment …
In 1980, George H.W. Bush was making the same argument against Ronald Reagan that Mitt Romney is making this year. Bush argued that he was the most electable against Jimmy Carter. The big money Republican establishment was behind Bush because they feared that Reagan was too radical to win, and would carry the entire party down to historic defeat, like Goldwater did. Reagan even lost Iowa to Bush on that argument. But Reagan carried forward the p…
In 2003, Charles Krauthammer coined the term, Bush Derangement Syndrome, defined as “the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency — nay — the very existence of George W. Bush.” By 2008, the syndrome progressed into Palin Derangement Syndrome. And in 2011, HBO caught the bug. On March 9th 2011, HBO announced former Boogie Nights star Julianne Moore, 50, will play a 43 year old Sarah Palin d…
…e debt and deficit spending, cultural over-reach, intentional misinformation, false accusations and outright lies being unrelentingly foisted upon them, with malice of forethought, by the institutionalized “progressive” left? george soros These anti-America forces, funded by the likes of George Soros and his ilk, enjoy “intellectual cover” from aging counter-culture hippie-freak college professors. The beat-down muscle and numbers needed to enfo…
You can’t turn on the news right now without hearing about the case of Trayvon Martin, the black teenager who was shot and killed in Florida by neighborhood watchman, George Zimmerman. I’m not going to go into the fact that he was sneaking around, essentially trespassing on people’s property at night wearing a hoodie, nor will I comment on the fact that a witness saw him on top of George Zimmerman, attacking him viciously just…
… of these circumstances, the use of the word hero is trivialized. A deeper problem is that ides of myth, legend and story hold a society’s culture together. The concept of the hero is central to these. By misapplying the hero label and refraining from using it when needed takes our culture in the wrong direction. I hope we can recover the sense of propriety about who we call a hero and what they did to be considered brave before it’s too late. A …
…of the Obama Coalition”, Thomas Edsall, by pushing “takers” into a non-working, entitlement, nanny state, socialistic philosophical ideology. Republicanism is not lost but it is certainly a candidate for a “Progressive Lite” label….or what as “Congress is Useless” all about? http://www.hollywoodrepublican.net/2011/11/congress-is-useless/ And all that is supported in academia today is under the myth of “academic freedom”. Collectivism and totalit…
…ocrats who pander for votes from “people who cling to their guns and religion.” There was a time in which I would have condemned the booing citing a lack of decorum. But after witnessing the treatment President George W. Bush and First Lady Laura Bush received from the Left between 2003 and 2009 (including both getting booed at Obama’s inauguration), I decided that the egregious tactics of the Left are fair game. I mean, wha…
