Truth And Common Sense

After last night it is now clear we are being led by a committed ideologue. His agenda is not the health or welfare of his citizens, their businesses, or their futures. His agenda is HIS agenda. From the head tilt and far away gaze, to his demand that all things STILL bend to his will, [...]

I’m stealing their headlines because it fits the subject so well.   The Washington Times have done a good job explaining what this whole dust up is about.  Frankly, in my opinion we have lost our minds with political correctness.  This is one reason I retired from law enforcement.  It is only a matter of time [...]

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 [...]

I’ve mentioned this before.  Dan Senor puts a sharper point on it in the article.  People talk about the Reagan revolution and how it got started.  What people miss, in my opinion, is the impact Vietnam had on the conservative movement.  The MSM and Hollywood likes to portray the veterans are either enlightened anti-war protesters [...]

From Redstate.  They posted Dick Cheney’s recent speech.  I heard he slapped Obama around in his usual style.  I have a friend who can do the same thing and had the opportunity to witness such a verbal beating once or twice.  He could spend twenty minutes insulting you with a smile and a warm tone [...]

As much as I don’t like seeing any type of terrorist attack, this one I find fitting.  Nothing would tickle me more to find out if the bomber used their own explosives against the Iranians.
Did we have anything to do with it?  Nah.  Two years ago, I’d think there were people in the CIA giggling [...]

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, [...]
