America was told– by some people– that the election of the first bi-racial president, Barack Hussein Obama, signalled a new era in America and in American politics, a brave new post-racialism era.  Those people may have been wrong.

Indeed, instead of being a unifying force of race-neutralism, President Obama has been the most divisive figure in American history on race and on virtually everything else.

The signs were there long before Obama beat Hillary Clinton et al. in the Democrat primaries and won that party’s nomination for the presidency in September, 2008.

Current Court Jester, aka Vice President Joe Biden … Read the rest

One of the many things that cooked Jimmy Carter’s chances for re-election in 1980 was his confession that he consulted with his 13 year old daughter on nuclear weapons policy.  We never learned of Amy’s strategic suggestions to the president.

Barack Obama, he says, has been asked repeatedly by one of his daughters as the poor guy was trying to shave every morning, “Did you plug the hole yet, Daddy?” (http://tiny.cc/bbmel)

He didn’t specify if the daughter was 11 year old Malia rather than Natasha but we have to assume it was the elder child who interrupted Obama’s … Read the rest

Our president may not have enough of a sense of tradition to lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier   at Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day but the rest of us commoners can still honor that day on Monday.

As we prepare to celebrate Memorial Day 2010, a day that has become synonymous with nothing more than the launching of summer, let’s try to remember what it’s all about.

Originally called Decoration Day, the holiday dates to 1868 and is intended to remind us all of those who gave their all in service to this great nation.  … Read the rest

  Britain’s day in the sun has largely passed.  The glory days of the vaunted British Empire are long gone and the sun regularly sets on it. 

Still, in its waning years as Islam continues to gain stronger footholds throughout England in its quest to Islamicize the nation, Great Britain if no longer great still serves as a bellwether for both bad and good trends in America.

For example, Britain has long been a safe haven for abortion and abortionists and the procedure is relatively common though numbers show a very slight decrease in the last year; almost all are funded … Read the rest

(Please see “Wars and Rumors or Wars,” http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=1232)

People and nations being what they are, our world has never been starved for war but rarely in history have so many wars of consequence been threatened which are contemporaneous with one another.

All wars are consequential, of course, but most are limited in scope to tribes or other small groups and many are of the civil war variety contained within a single country.  The continent of Africa is a case in point. 

Today we face three very hot spots any one of which could erupt into a widespread conflagration with … Read the rest

   HowStuffWorks.com explains sororities: When you hear the word “sorority,” what comes to mind? Pillow fights? Big white mansions? Pearls and sweater sets? While that’s what Hollywood would have you imagine, in reality, it’s not exactly like that. For many, a sorority can be a great way to make lasting friendships, build a smaller community within a university setting, and find opportunities for leadership and service. But people also associate sororities with elitism, racism, alcohol abuse, eating disorders and promiscuity. So, what is life in a sorority really like?

  At least for two Pi Beta Phi sorority chapters at Ohio University … Read the rest

Question: How many Obamian bureaucrats does it take to plug a gushing oil well?

Answer: None, since they won’t try.

By now most people have heard of Interior Secretary Ken Salazar’s graphic comment reminiscent of the Third Reich that the Obama administration “will keep its boot on the throat” of British Petroleum until it plugs the hole 5000 feet down in the Gulf of Mexico and stops the oil gusher.

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs thought so highly of that threat that he repeated it the next day, adding “while we [Obama and his administration] do all that is … Read the rest

When “Jerry Joseph” blew into the West Texas town of Odessa, the assumed disadvantaged youth was virtually adopted by the townspeople.  Homeless, an orphan, alone in the world, new to America, “Jerry Joseph” tugged at the heartstrings of Odessa.

Armed with falsified identification papers, “Joseph” was taken in by the town, home to Permian Odessa, the subject high school of Friday Night Lights.

As it turned out, Odessa was also taken in by Guerdrich Montimere, “Jerry Joseph’s” true name, and Montimere wasn’t the 16 year old that he pretended to be but rather a 22 year old Haitian immigrant … Read the rest

“A policeman’s lot is not a happy one” wrote Arthur Sullivan of Gilbert and Sullivan fame in The Pirates of Penzance.

  And that was a century before Arizona’s new immigration law was signed by Governor Jan Brewer.  Life under the new statute is bound to get unhappier for cops, sheriffs, state troopers, and other lawman in the Grand Canyon State after July 29th, 2010, its effective date since the eyes of the country and the world will be focused on their every action.

That scrutiny will be aimed at insuring that the law is implemented as written, that no … Read the rest
