…rants, when a woman I didn’t recognize approached the table. She asked if I was the man that wrote the column about MSA. I said that I was, and she took a minute to compose herself and told me her story. Her name was Janet Monk. Through tears, she told us that her friend, Dreama, who lived inRochester,New York, has just passed away from MSA. Since Janet lived so far away, she had not able to be there with her friend, and Dreama’s husba…
Through no luck of the TSA another terrorist plot was thwarted on Christmas Day. Another lunatic Muslim Extremist attempted to blow himself up on an international flight from Europe to Detroit. The passengers of Northwest Flight #253, seeing what was happening, immediately jumped the suspect as he tried to ignite his explosive device. Apparently, it was just in time and 290 plus people are still alive. And what does the TSA and Ms. Janet Napol…
…e times, “no stone unturned” and the “buck stops here” twice. Not a record for a Presidential speech but pretty good for a 12 minute expose. Well let’s just “connect the dots” and see where they lead. Homeland Security Chief Janet Napolitano, in her remarks after the President’s speech, basically blamed the whole breech in security on the Europeans. In that respect she is partially correct. Abdulmutallab was able to move through several overseas…
… seemed on the superficial level to offer continuity, it was actually an ideological reversal, back to the Liberal wing of the Republican Party. Though he lambasted his opponent Michael Dukakis, tarring him with the “Liberal” label, which Reaganism had turned into a dirty word, Bush himself was every bit a Progressive. His admitted trouble with “the vision thing” prevented him from continuing with Reagan’s unfinished work: shrinking government, e…
…ent-issued weapon and was dead by the time backup agents arrived. I am mystified that I did not hear any direct comment from President Obama on the cold-blooded killing of Robert Rosas while securing our international border. Janet Napolitano got the call to show respect to the fallen DHS agent, making a short, yet effective statement. There appears to be an inequity in how Border Patrol agents are treated. Take the cases of former agents Ignacio…
… 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…
…Is “terrorism” now the struggle of “freedom fighters?” Has “Victory” and “Winning” become something we make excuses for? Bravery, patriotism, duty and torture will confound. Despite Obama’s Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano’s efforts to wipe out the term “terrorism” and replaced it with “man-caused disaster”, an issue of “sensitivity”, an effort falling flat, does a certain hypocrisy prevail? Does one analyze the Somali Pirates…
