It's your money the government is giving you with the stimulus check. Are you grateful? Friday, May 23, 2008 10:00:00 AM
A new movie, "Recount", tries to convince everyone how much better off they would have been if crazy Al Gore had been elected. Thursday, May 15, 2008 12:00:00 PM
There hasn't been peace in the Middle East since the great powers carved up the region after World War I. Tuesday, May 13, 2008 11:45:00 AM
When Israel celebrates its 60th anniversary on Wednesday, a billion Muslims will have to ask not how, by why it has survived. Monday, April 14, 2008 10:00:00 AM
It's global cooling, not global warming, and combined with converting food to fuel and crop failures, it is causing food riots around the world. Thursday, August 03, 2006 06:30:33 PM
Despite the U.S. Senate’s August vote to end the quarter century ban on offshore drilling, the Democrats could not resist recklessly exploiting the current price at the pumps and oil company profits for political gain while ignoring the most fundamental economics of our national dependence on this energy source.

In times of war, the last person you want in the foxhole with you is a liberal. They are always desperately looking for a white flag to wave. They are always trying to “understand” the enemy and excuse his bad behavior. Sunday, July 23, 2006 10:35:43 AM
We are beginning to see the national debate about what to do in the Middle East shape up into fairly specific sides. I call them the “Do it now” crowd and the “Do it later” crowd. Sunday, July 16, 2006 10:07:20 AM
On July 14 in the chamber of the United Nations Security Council, the permanent representative from Israel, Ambassador Dan Gillerman, paused to address his colleague, the ambassador from Lebanon. “You know that what we are doing is right, and if we succeed, your country will be the real beneficiary.” Wednesday, July 12, 2006 04:39:06 PM
We live in a world where hijackers, primarily from Saudi Arabia, can commandeer two airline jets to destroy the World Trade Center and, within hours, the word is spread that this heinous act was really the work of the Israeli Mossad and Jewish terrorists. Sunday, July 09, 2006 11:43:33 AM
A little ice to cool a drink on a hot summer’s day is nice, but when you think of it as an Ice Age, it becomes an inexorable force of Nature more to be feared than any fictional global warming. Sunday, July 02, 2006 01:42:10 PM
Are you bored with hearing about global warming all the time? Me, too. The din of asinine predictions, warnings, and claims that global warming is real, i.e. a rapid increase in the overall temperature of the Earth, always seems to occur just as summer arrives when—surprise—it gets warmer.

Americans and others in the West cannot comprehend why anyone would blow themselves up to kill, as often as not, other Muslims. Even if you were convinced that 72 virgins awaited you in paradise, committing suicide for the purpose of murder is so foreign to the Western mind that it remains, for most, outside the realm of any discussion.

In 1963, when Hannah Arendt’s book, “Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil”, was first published, it stirred up all the arguments about anti-Semitism and the Holocaust that killed Jews for the crime of being Jews. The Holocaust is in the news because Iran’s president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has both denied it and is obsessed with it. Sunday, June 11, 2006 10:21:48 AM
As the price of gasoline and the myriad products that utilize petroleum in their manufacture rises, Americans are going to ask why the Congress has resisted accessing the billions of barrels’ worth of oil and natural gas in our offshore continental shelf. Thursday, June 08, 2006 12:12:29 PM
In 1899, when England had a great empire, Rudyard Kipling penned a poem in which he called on the West to “Take up the White Man’s burden” to seek peace in the world, end famine, and vanquish disease. Kipling assumed that the millions living in Africa, the Middle East or India where he had spent many years were never going to achieve these lofty goals on their own.

The League of Nations came into being after its constitution was adopted at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919. The Peace Conference, as it turned out, was little more than a prelude to World War II, punishing Germany for having started World War I and divvying up the Ottoman Empire under the assumption that the West could do whatever it wanted with the rest of the world.

The British author and critic, Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) said that a phony kind of patriotism was the last refuge of a scoundrel. These days it’s environmentalism. Sunday, May 21, 2006 11:26:56 AM
Why is it that hurricanes are always treated as unexpected events? The news reports always have someone saying, “We haven’t had one around here in such a long time…” or “We never expected it to be this powerful.” Sunday, May 14, 2006 10:42:56 AM
Americans are apparently addicted to everything. Addiction used to have a real definition. It was a medical term that meant an individual was physically dependent on something, usually tobacco, alcohol or a drug of some kind. Sunday, May 07, 2006 02:25:26 PM
As I am sure you have read or heard somewhere, “the world is running out of oil” and we’re all doomed. Unless we can figure out how to run our cars on soy sauce, it’s back to bicycle and horses. Monday, May 01, 2006 10:58:01 AM
On May 26, a movie, “An Inconvenient Truth”, will debut at a theatre near you, starring a man who introduces himself these days as the man “who used to be the next President of the United States.” That man is Al Gore who, since losing his bid in 2000 to lead this country, has given us all cause to thank a merciful God for sparing us his unflagging lunacy.

An ignorance of history can leave an entire generation vulnerable to threats they may otherwise dismiss as bombast. Wednesday, April 19, 2006 11:47:45 AM
April 22 is Earth Day. I doubt that most people have any idea how vast the effort is to convince people around the world that the Earth is in peril due to industrialization and the human population in general. The amazing thing is how bogus the claims are, but when repeated endlessly, they become a “truth” simply from repetition. Sunday, April 16, 2006 12:39:20 PM
As long as I can remember, the price of gasoline has risen just before the summer months, known for greater travel as folks pile into the car to go to the beach or drive to some vacation destination. Sunday, April 09, 2006 02:56:49 PM
I have been trying to figure out why we haven’t had a second 9-11 since 2001. One would think that al Qaeda, to whom is attributed vast intellect, funding, and an invisible international network of operatives, would have delivered a second devastating blow by now? Are we just lucky? Are we more secure? Tuesday, April 04, 2006 06:53:55 PM
John Adams, our second President, cautioned, “Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.” Saturday, April 01, 2006 11:00:44 AM
Jill Carroll, the 28-year-old, attractive, freelance journalist kidnapped in Baghdad in early January and released in late March has attained an instant status of celebrity. No doubt she will sign a contract with a hefty fee to write a book about her experience and she will tour the various talk shows, make speeches, and prosper. Wednesday, March 29, 2006 09:22:33 AM
The first thing we have to do is fire all the reporters, editors and headline writers who have not got a clue about “global warming” except that it scares the hell out of readers and sells newspapers. Sunday, March 26, 2006 06:00:40 PM
Americans are at a place roughly analogous to the end of World War II. They wanted to demobilize the huge military machine that defeated our enemies and there was much opposition to the Marshall Plan to save Europe from Soviet domination. It was “mission accomplished” and to hell with the rest of the world. Only the rest of the world was not about to comply. |
