Maureen Dowd tries to not criticize Obama’s screw up by trying to pin some of the problem on Republicans.  It is a contorted effort and if she showed that much flexibility in other areas she might actually get a date (sorry, cruel but true).   But even she has to admit things really went wrong this [...]

The photo in this post is priceless. It is well worth visiting Doug’s site.

In reading Mao’s book, I’ve found one common thread.  Regardless of how committed the students, the Red Guard, the old guard, the bureaucrats were to  their “causes” they always fought over power and position.  Even the purest in theory broke into factions that ended up fighting each other over control and over territory.  The triple [...]

This is not surprising at all.  Political correctness in this nation and across the globe has become almost a religion to some. Remember most of the State Department employees at the career level are left of center.  As are many of the CIA and other agency employees.  So, given the opportunity to go back to [...]

This is a sign of a regime throwing the kitchen sink at the revolt.  They are running over protesters and kidnapping relatives.  The problem is that they could kidnap the families of every opposition leader and it won’t make any difference if the masses of citizens revolting are acting on their own.  Even if the [...]

Glenn  Beck’s guest host Pat Grey took a call today from a somewhat upset caller warning of a possible target- churches.  The caller stated that there had been over eighteen thousand deaths from attacks on churches.  Grey had a brain fart and somehow limited his vision to domestic churches.  He stated his disbelief and almost [...]

This is an article and a wiki explanation of the new British Supreme Court that went into effect this year.  I didn’t even know about this but find it fascinating.   Apparently, the Brits figured that the current system (and I’m no expert in explaining their system so bear with me) did not have enough separation [...]

This is the newest little bump into international law governing our nation handed out by the Obama crew.  Apparently more is coming, but nobody is sure what.  INTERPOL isn’t very effective unless it is being used by another government.  Why Obama’s people think this is a good thing comes from their concept of how America [...]

During the great Cultural Revolution Mao allowed for quite a bit of violence and chaos in order to foment his vision of the new China (remember it included Mao not being demonized by history like Stalin and he felt there were people in China chomping at the bit to do just that).  The problem with [...]

It’s a good article to read, once you get past the “I’m trying to save the world with green energy, this is my company” promo deal.  Yes, we get it.  You aren’t supposed to die at the hands of an Islamic terrorist bomber because you are one of the enlightened ones.  Did you not get [...]
