Truth And Common Sense

The key to the trust between authorities and civilians is that both sides understand there are rules you don’t break. The police have the right to arrest you, but only so you can have your day in court. The civilians submit to arrest assuming they’ll be treated fairly and will have their chance to defend [...]

Mao had one bad idea after the other, but also had a captive unarmed audience.  There was nothing anyone could do.  But as soon as he became ill and bedridden those who did not like his direction fought each other to change it.  Obama’s crew also have a series of bad ideas which they still [...]

Read some of the comments.  Most people are fed up with this.  Is Obama a citizen?   At this point, who cares?  I know, some who read this are sputtering, but stay with me on this.  Let’s take a run down that rabbit hole for a second and see where it takes us.  Here are a [...]

HOTAIR links to a report stating that now that the PC lid is blown off a number of scientists are complaining the AGW temperature readings were bad.  Real bad.  This has been out there for a while, but couldn’t get traction.  It was one of the complaints the Russians had which led them to hacking [...]

The Iranian revolt would be farther along had GWB still been in the White House.  Frankly, it is my opinion this was his and his people’s goal all along.  Too bad it was set up beautifully only to have Obama piss all over it like a drunk frat member.
However, even without our support I think [...]

As you know I’m working through a book on Mao’s last Cultural Revolution.  There are a number of stories in the book of how Mao and his supporters would target someone for punishment if they weren’t considered a proper revolutionary.  To say this was a crazy time, almost as chaotic as the French Revolution, is [...]

I’ve been following the struggle homschoolers face in Germany.   That country just can’t get away from its fascist tendencies.  Currently, Germany hounds homeschoolers like they were some kind of dangerous crank group.  Or as the story puts it,
The HSLDA also notes that homeschoolers in Germany face increasing amounts of persecution.
“There is no safety for homeschoolers [...]

I’m not going to get into the weeds about whether or not the Blackwater employees had any justification to open fire on people in Iraq.  Maybe they saw one rifleman and figured everybody was a bad guy.  I do know most of the employees are former soldiers or police and are well trained and not [...]

There are all kinds of corruptions and payoffs in politics.  This is one of the more popular.  In an honest and ethical world Hillary would not be able to continue in a sensitive position like Sec. of State.  She could do something else but nothing linked to foreign policy when her husband gets paid by [...]

Ron Rosenbaum, who according to his wiki bio is some kind of an writer/author/editorialist from New York, writes this article in much the same way that a good looking woman tells a not so good looking and poor man, “we can still be friends.”   It is almost painful as he wraps his argument around common [...]
