There’s some small consolation in the hackneyed truism that some things never change.  A very small consolation.

On the eve of the president’s highly touted address to the nation on what he called during the campaign the “necessary” war, the Reid-ites are again crawling out of the Democratic woodwork.

By hearing the struggle in Afghanistan was “necessary,” the electorate may have foolishly assumed Obama must have meant it was an absolute requisite that we win it.  

After months of conferencing and soul-searching (and weighing the political repercussions?), after months of diddling and dithering while our undermanned troops needlessly died, we … Read the rest

“Man doth not live by bread alone.”  He also needs some laughs amidst all the dire warnings and true dangers in our world to make that bread more palatable.

Fortunately, mankind being what it is, someone is always out there who will temper the serious with some chuckles, intentionally or not.

Amusing Paranoia:  Fidel’s Cuba has long thrived on keeping its slaves paralyzed with fear. 

Ever since the Bay of Pigs fiasco when JFK made the mistake of listening to the dovish Adlai Stevenson and refused to furnish promised air support for the Cuban espatriates’ foiled invasion to take back … Read the rest

Just in case readers haven’t heard, Attorney General Eric Holder, who in his other life opposed the death penalty and helped arrange the pardons of the FALN terrorists and sleazy financier, Marc Rich, has opted to try 9/11 confessed killer-mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four al-Qaeda buddies in New York City.

Instead of the far more appropriate venue of a military tribunal at GITMO, the trial will be conducted in federal court before a civilian jury a block away from Ground Zero   where Khalid and his ilk will be accorded all rights and privileges enjoyed by United States citizens.

I previously posted an article titled, “Give Gays an Inch . . . ” primarily dealing with the gay exhibition by Adam Lambert on the telecast of the “American Music Awards.” 

Since then, I have been accused of everything from being a bigot, a homophobe, and, the most unkindest cut of all, a closet homosexual.

I would like to enter a guilty plea to two of the above accusations, as long as we get our definitions correct.

If I am a bigot because I felt Lambert’s performance on the “AMA” went far beyond the pale of normal, public, human behavior–even … Read the rest

It’s probably normal for people who feel they were oppressed to take advantage of situations to make their case at the first opportunity.  The homosexual community has been cashing in and is gleeful in shoving its sick lifestyle in the face of America ever since it gained a modicum of acceptance.

Case in point is “American Idol” loser, self-outed gay boy, Adam Lambert.

Last Sunday, ill-content with a certain popularity, he chose to strut his gaiety before some 14 million television viewers, including countless children, on national television at the American Music Awards.

In classic exhibitionist fashion, “the gay, glam … Read the rest

Christmas may sometimes involve obscenities such as atheists’ continuing war against its celebration and its degradation to a greed fest and old Uncle Charlie getting looped and re-telling the dirty jokes of his youth but Christmas has never been called obscene by a clergyman.  Until now.

The Right Reverend Humphrey Southern, Anglican Bishop of Repton, thinks that, “Wishing people a Happy Christmas could be seen as an ‘insult’ or even an ‘obscenity’ as not everyone is in a position to celebrate” the holy, Christian holiday. 

Bishop Southern, a politically-correct prelate guiding his flock in a dying Anglican church, added a … Read the rest

It may be debated whether former Governor of Alaska Sarah Palin   is the best Republican candidate to oppose Barack Obama in 2012. 

What’s far less debatable is that this very decent woman has been the object of unprecedented attacks by the Left and from the Left’s fellow travelers, everyone from women’s groups to atheists to gays to John McCain Republicans in Name Only, all of whom are united and supported under the liberal umbrella of the mainstream media.

NOW and other so-called feminists hate her for her maternalism, her unstinting love for her husband, her rejection of NOW’s ultimate sacrament, … Read the rest

Never use a preposition to end a sentence with, as in the title of this piece, goes the age-old English-teacher admonition but let’s live it up for Thanksgiving!

Ending prepositions notwithstanding, let’s just give thanks. 

Most of us have a great deal to give thanks for and those living in America who don’t feel they don’t feel thankful right now should reflect on what their national birthright has afforded them: 

.   We should give thanks that we are alive and, hopefully, healthy.  If not healthy, we should give thanks that we live in the best nation on the planet … Read the rest

“The truth will out,” along with what seems a million other terms and phrases, is credited to Will Shakespeare and, as with so many other wise Bard aphorisms, is generally true.   Except when it isn’t.

We’re bombarded daily with news reports, announcements, statements many of which, based on their sheer repetition, become chiseled in our brains as absolutes when they are absolutely false.

Fortunately, usually, the truth will out, will work its way through piles of faleshoods and be exposed for what it is.

Two examples follow:

Ok, we’ve known since she was nominated as McCain’s pick for VP that the Left was salivating to get at Sarah Palin, in more ways than one.

They had a presumed Republican novice in their sights and they collectively zoned in on the governor of Alaska. 

Even they felt uncomfortable trashing an American hero, John McCain, aside from saying he was an old fart who didn’t know the internet from a hairnet, much like Joe Biden who thought websites have phone numbers.

However, Palin was more than fair game and they proceeded with vicious ad hominem, family, and political attacks … Read the rest
