Plumes, Pressure, and Cracks in the Sea Floor

image"It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine." -- R.E.M "It's the end of the world" The information that I've run across vis a vis the oil spill, runs the gamut from "move along folks, there's nothing here to see," to laser beams from outer space blowing up the Deepwater Horizon. One thing I know for sure, the government and BP can't be trusted -- they are not telling us the truth about what has, and is, transpiring in the Gulf of Mexico.

Is the Oil Spill an Act of War?

"You can't get Americans to agree on anything. ...He [Obama] just needs to drag them to it. Like I just said, they're stupid. Just drag them to this. ...Suck on it, America, if you don't like it."-- Bill Maher HBO "entertainer" (Link) "Conservatives think of war as a metaphor when applied to politics. For radicals, the war is real." -- David Horowitz (Link)

Schlumberger and the Gulf Oil Syndrome (GOS)

"...it’s been widely reported that a major part, a major part of the Kerry-Lieberman bill ["cap-and-trade"] was essentially written by BP.” “Let me say that again. A major part of the Kerry-Lieberman bill was written by BP." -- Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) on the Senate floor, June 9, 2010 According to an article by Reuters, personnel from oilfield giant Schlumberger, left BP's Deepwater Horizon only hours before it exploded. Link and Link Oddly, the Reuters report wasn't written until about a month after the explosion -- almost as if Schlumberger wanted to deny any part in the whole fiasco, (and who could blame them).

Patriotic Common-ground, and Good News/Bad News

"The technetronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values." Zbigniew Brzezinski "Between Two Ages: America's Role in the Technetronic Era" 1970 I had an email exchange with a liberal friend of mine the other day. Although we "agree to disagree" on many topics, we sometimes find common-ground.

Tyranny, and Putting Some Questions to Rest

"We won't stand for tyranny, oh king." -- TJ and the Revo "Too Late to Apologize: A Declaration" First of all, it is not a birth certificate, and secondly it is not valid. I'm talking about Obama's "green" altered COLB (Certificate Of Live Birth), that everyone from Fox's Bill O'Reilly, to CNN's Anderson Cooper, to White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, have been pointing to as "proof" that Obama is a Natural citizen of the United States, and therefore eligible to be POTUS.

It’s The Illegality, Stupid

Illegal immigration, illegal aliens, illegal immigrants. Illegal. I-l-l-e-g-a-l. Illegal: Not authorized by law; unlawful, criminal. Good grief, what part of "illegal" do these morons protesting Arizona's SB1070 not understand? AND the protesters are comparing Arizona's courageous (and commonsense) stance, to fascism; nazism; racism; to the holocaust, and to the Jim Crow laws of the Old South.

Something in the Air

"There are now two Americas: one conservative; the other liberal. Increasingly, we no longer just disagree, but we despise each other." -- Jeffrey Kuhner "Will America Break" "You and I are told we must choose between a left or right, but I suggest there is no such thing as a left or right. There is only an up or down. Up to man's age-old dream -- the maximum of individual freedom consistent with order -- or down to the ash heap of totalitarianism." -- Ronald Reagan (1911-2004)

The Intelligentsia, Intellectuals, and Other Idiots

Distinguished professors, gifted poets, and influential journalists [and academics, and politicians, and lawyers, and judges, and...] summoned their talents to convince all who would listen that modern tyrants were liberators and that their unconscionable crimes were noble.... Whoever takes it upon himself to write an honest intellectual history of twentieth-century Europe [and America] will need a strong stomach. -- Professor Mark Lilla, Columbia University "The Reckless Mind"

The Real American Narrative

image"I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve" --Japanese Admiral Yamamoto after the attack on Pearl Harbor (from the film "Tora! Tora! Tora!") "You've awakened a sleeping giant." -- Katy Abram to Sen. Arlen Spector at a Town Hall meeting, early August, 2009. In a recent article in "The Weekly Standard," Jeff Bergner wrote about the American Narrative -- how it has been written by the Left; adopted by our culture, and accepted by Democrats and Republicans alike. Bergner says that the Narrative goes something like this: From its founding, America has been working towards the ideal of equality for all. This goal is an inevitable certainty, although it must be aided now and again by the use of will, and power. The best means of ensuring equality for all, is through the auspices of strong government entitlement programs. Those who oppose the Narrative are evil, backward, selfish rubes, who place their own self-interest before the welfare of others. The Narrative also says that American exceptionalism is a misguided, parochial elitism, that prevents world peace, and encourages a divisive American arrogance.
