There’s a report afoot that the first Beatle to die, John Winston Ono Lennon, Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, MBA division, was ”a closet Republican” who admired Ronald Reagan, didn’t care for Jimmy Carter, and by the time of his death was embarrassed over how politically naive he had been earlier in life. 

If the report, based on a very authoritative source, Lennon’s last personal assistant, Fred Seaman, is true I would have to retract much of what I wrote in “John Lennon, Flawed Man in Life, Demigod in Death.” (http://bit.ly/kHAVTx)

A few observations on recent events linked by the participants’ liberal politics:

GAYS: I’ve been much-criticized for articles on homosexual marriage and New York City’s Gay Pride Parade and I would just like to set the record straight.  I never meant to imply that gays aren’t people too! 

That fact was confirmed by a photo on IOwntheWorld.com.  Taken at San Francisco’s 41st annual Gay Pride Parade on the same date as NYC’s festivity, the picture depicts lesbian Sue Bennett hugging her very pregnant domestic partner Elese Lebsack before riding a motorcycle down the streets of San Fran. (http://bit.ly/jKpYTl)… Read the rest

   The inhumanity of abortion, which has claimed in excess of 50,000,000 innocent, pre-born lives in America since Roe v. Wade, far more lives than our nation has lost in all of our wars combined, is apparent to all but the most ardent proponents of the “procedure” and to those who realize the barbarity is inhumane but who defend it on tenuous bases of privacy and personal rights of women and young girls. 

Tremendous scientific and technological advances in knowledge concerning fetal surgery, embryology, (pre-natal life), have taken place in recent years.  Ultrasound and other techniques now prove what pro-lifers have … Read the rest

“Will it play in Peoria?” is a phrase dating to the 19th century, a reference to whether some idea would go over well in mainstream typical America, the premise being that if it will float in Peoria it will succeed everywhere. 

One particular idea is currently playing in Peoria which regrettably is becoming all too typical in our country, young blacks rioting in the streets, threatening to “kill all white people around here,” assaulting whites, and intimidating cops, white people, and black people alike.  

Peorians were advised to avoid their yards and front porches and stay indoors, as if that … Read the rest

It seems only appropriate to complement, not compliment, Friday’s passage of New York State’s deceptively-titled Marriage Equality Act and Sunday’s New York City’s Gay Pride Parade with some related news stories, one equally-bizarre. 

   For those unaware–and you really should try to keep up–New York’s Democrat Governor Andrew Cuomo late Friday eagerly affixed his signature to a law passed overwhelmingly by Democrat legislators, with aid, comfort, and votes furnished by four Republicans, which grants official approval for men to wed men, women to marry women, and God only knows what else in the Empire State.  

The timing couldn’t have been better … Read the rest

   I recently heard a snippet from an LA Times op-ed by Obamapologist Meghan Daum titled, “Obama’s Fast Brain vs. Slow Mouth” in which Daum offered an explanation/defense/excuse for our president’s inclination to employ a multiplicity of “umms” and “uhs” when he speaks without, and sometimes with, his trusty teleprompters.

As the article title suggests, Obama is so brilliant that his sluggish mouth is simply incapable of keeping up with his stupendous brain–not a nice thing to say about anyone, least of all a president– and he is reduced to “an intellectual stammer.”  She didn’t attribute the president’s oratorical ineptness to … Read the rest

   Get your gay-est hats on, folks!  There’s a big day coming up in New York City, a day you may want to put on your calendar–or maybe not.

Following on the heels of an even bigger day, the passage by the New York State legislature of a gay marriage bill Friday evening, homosexuals should be positively ecstatic and promise to make Sunday a day to remember. 

The legalization of homosexual weddings in the Empire State, long-sought by Democrats and the gay lobby, was rushed to Democrat Governor Andrew Cuomo who signed the Marriage Equality Act into law in the dark … Read the rest

In our high-speed Internet, our 24/7 cable news age, we tend to get complacent insofar as the news and information we’re getting, innocently believing that what we’re seeing and hearing is substantially everything that’s out there, that it’s relatively accurate and reliable. 

   That ain’t necessarily so, especially when the news and information relate to the White House and its current residents.  

Cases in point: White House transcripts which aren’t transcripted as much as they are scripted, the nightmarish Dream Act which seemed dead yet is very much alive, and the prosecution of Muslim terrorists who may very well be merely … Read the rest

   I’ve long admired Professor Walter E. Williams, a rare breed among men. 

The 75 year old conservative, African-American economist, columnist, political commentator, and John M. Olin Distinguished Professor of Economics at George Mason University invariably perceives the nation as it is, not as politicians and special interest groups pretend and twist it to be, which is rare, indeed. 

Okay, he calls himself a libertarian rather than a conservative, but close enough.

In an article titled, “America’s New Racists,” Williams once again ruffles the feathers of his fellow black men, exposing and clearly articulating an ugly truth about American society today … Read the rest

   Albert Einstein reasonably conjectured that someone who repeats the same behavior expecting dissimilar outcomes must be insane.  Based on a recent decision by President Barack Hussein Obama’s Department of Urban Affairs, HUD, everyone in that godforsaken department must be raving maniacs. 

Hot on the heels of the 2008 mortgage debacle caused by the government and the resultant near-economic collapse of Western civilization caused in large part by our Democrat leadership and minions’ endorsement and insistence on the “right” of everyone to ”own” their own homes whether they could afford to own their own homes or not, whether they had the … Read the rest
