Truth And Common Sense

This is classic. I have a friend who is Mensa bright.  We often talk about world events and different approaches to them.  Today he put forward a very good idea on how to fight the Afghan insurgents.  He said, “We have fought this war before, many times and in many places.  The Philippines, during our [...]

I’d like to say something good about Obama’s speech and decision.  I can’t.  First, somebody ought to take the effort to see how many times the words “I” and “me” shows up in the speech.  I know people like this.  They only think the world as it relates to them.  How does what is happening [...]

The link goes to Redstate, follow the link inside the article and read the Human Events article.  Obama is trying to have his cake and eat it too on Afghanistan and is having trouble understanding why that is not working out.  Here’s the problem in a nutshell.  Obama is a lawyer and lawyers think they [...]

Peter W. Galbraith writes a good article about the election fraud committed in the last election held in Afghanistan.  His position is that the elections were basically rigged in certain areas of the nation to make sure Karzi was re-elected.  Now, I’m sure that is exactly what happened, and while I appreciate his ideological vigor, [...]

There are moments when the irony just slaps you in the face like a wet towel.   And the sad thing is the reporter who wrote it, probably didn’t realize what he said.   The report goes into depth on how the situation in Afghanistan is going south.  Of course it is.  What direction was it going [...]

My mind is actually locking up.  Usually I’m pretty quick witted, but this is almost too much.  It is as crazy an idea as having Biden host a MENSA meeting.  I’m just saying…
Seriously, and I’m doing my best, can you imagine the absolute inability for anyone attached to Obama and his left wing theories to [...]

From the Public Secrets website, a link to Michael Yon’s story of how the Americans saved a British soldier after he was wounded.  We spend a lot of money saving one life while the other side chops off body parts for the slightest offense.  For anyone to declare a moral equivalence between Islamic terrorists and [...]

My son is twelve.  He picked up a book on Vietnam at the library the other day and started asking the questions kids do about the war.  Now I was too young to be involved, but my friends, family and neighbors were.  The stories they told about the time “in country” were scary and fascinating [...]
