“You asked for it!”

"They roll and rumble, They turn and tumble, ... As piggies do in a poke."- Sir Thomas More, Works, 1557 Let's Make a Deal! ... The Price is Right! ... Wheel of Fortune! ... and Jeopardy! ... all rolled into one. This isn't the "Toyota" that we "asked for." But it is the one we deserve considering how many Communists, Socialists, Progressives, Liberals and RINOs we have allowed to remain in Congress.

A Most Wonderful Human Being

"Raymond Shaw is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life." Movie buffs will recognize this quote from the film: "The Manchurian Candidate" starring Lawrence Harvey and Frank Sinatra. It is a riveting film, released at the very height of the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. The film is a tale of a Soviet Communist plot where brainwashed and conditioned Korean War POWs are released back to the USA with a mission: Return home and assassinate a Presidential Candidate. The Soviets hope that in the ensuing panic and a desire for stability, that Vice-Presidential Candidate [ actually a communist dupe controlled by his wife] would be placed at the top of the ticket and swept into office sympathetically by voters.

Concerns about anti-Mormon Bigotry

I read and saw where Glenn Beck and his family were harassed at a park in New York City while trying to enjoy a classic film. I also hear those who have concerns about Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman being Mormons. Is our society really this petty? Is the media trying to stir up division or controversy? If so, this is a bad "game" without a winner. At the expense of raising eyebrows and hackles, allow me to explain.

Defining a traitor

Lieutenant Colonel Ralph Peters has written an excellent article about Jonathan Pollard, the US Intelligence Analyst turned Israeli Spy.   Pollard was caught decades ago, was convicted and is currently in prison for his crimes. Colonel Peters says in his essay:
"I have been a dedicated supporter of Israel since childhood. I believe that Israel is worth fighting and dying for. I believe that Israel is an integral part of my civilization. I believe that Israel’s survival is critical on practical, strategic and moral grounds. And I believe that Jonathan Pollard should have been executed for treason and espionage.

Holy Smokes, Bullwinkle: U.S. Hiring Slows, paltry 54,000 Jobs added in May

We never had a real recovery, only a dead cat bounce. We may already be in a Depression:
  • All of the Keynesian economists have crawled out from under their rocks to fool us again after failing Eighty years ago to solve anything.
  • Bond yields are almost non-existent.
  • Folks are scared of the Market, but there are no "safe" investments.

Buying Love

"Say you don't need no diamond ring and I'll be satisfied. Tell me that you want the kind of thing that money just can't buy. I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love."- The Beatles Our President, hoping to buy himself some love, has instead given Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran the green light to attack Israel.

So, What is at Stake?

"The men with the muck-rakes are often indispensable to the well-being of society; but only if they know when to stop raking the muck." President Teddy Roosevelt, 1906 I recently shared a message with, Gina Miller, who writes a darned good column [DakotaVoice.com]. I was telling her that we all need to continue telling folks that their Grand-Pappy's Democrat Party does not exist. For that matter, neither does their Daddy's GOP. Both have drifted so far Left that some form of major political upheaval is all but inevitable to restore balance. Let's just hope that throwing their Big Government ideas overboard [like tea?] does not happen too late for America's sake.

Mock the opposition - full speed ahead!

Barack Obama has settled on his election game plan: Mock your opponents as unworthy at every turn. Now that the media has firmly established the messiah's "cred" as a magnificently bold, brave, and decisive Commander in Chief, he feels free to move back into domestic politics. It is strange indeed. No sooner has he used the Military for his own opportunistic resume enhancement than he has placed the War on Terror [aka "Overseas Contingency Operations" for true believers] on the far rear boiler plate.

“Hirohito and Tojo Embarrassed - FDR & US Celebrate”

Let us pause for a moment and reflect on a truly “gutsy” decision. President Obama is often compared against Franklin Roosevelt as a leader in that mold. I beg to differ. Roosevelt was a known quantity when he came into office. His programs were undeniably Liberal-Left in many respects, and he was certainly high-handed. The Republicans, however, gave him his due. He had beaten Herbert Hoover in a landslide of epic proportions, his inspiring speeches and chats, and his confident style won him trust among the population. His own adoration for America and his fellow Americans was obvious. The New Deal was a “Questionable Deal” to the GOP, but they gave FDR much leeway. Besides, they could not stop it.

A Conversation About Anti-Semitism

"The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities." Ayn Rand This is an article about anti-Semitism, though the reader might think it wanders a bit. It springs from a correspondence I recently shared with my friend, Joan Swirsky, who encouraged me to submit it for publication.

John Boehner wins the first skirmish

"This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning." -Winston S. Churchill, November 10, 1942, speech about the Battle of Egypt. POLITICO says the Friday budget negotiation deal is a victory for Boehner, but their tone seeks to to minimize the victory, stifle momentum, and set Tea Party Republicans against GOP Leadership.

Fight the “Inversion of Values”

"Run, run, as fast as you can. You can't catch me I'm the Gingerbread Man!" Guy Milliere, a contributor at The Hudson Institute, has written outstanding analysis today of a perverted "inversion of values" that allows for people to refer to slitting a baby's throat as part of a "cycle of violence."

Advice, Warnings, and Promises

“The gratitude of every home in our Island, in our Empire, and indeed throughout the world, except in the abodes of the guilty, goes out to the British airmen who, undaunted by odds, unwearied in their constant challenge and mortal danger, are turning the tide of the World War by their prowess and by their devotion. Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.” - Winston Churchill, August 20, 1940 in a speech to the British People "Let's help the Russians when the Germans are winning and the Germans when the Russians are winning. So each may kill off as many as possible of the other." - Harry Truman in U.S. Senate on June 5, 1941

I Like Michael Savage

"Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, or stand in the way of sinners, or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on this law he meditates day and night." - King David, Psalm 1, verses 1-2 I like Michael Savage. Michael Savage is a thinker.

Enchanting the Youth

"Dictators ride to and fro upon tigers which they dare not dismount. And the tigers are getting hungry." - Winston Churchill ["While England Slept," 1936] What a lot one can learn about dictatorship and brainwashing from one four minute microcosm of history on film!

Britain is Under the Bus; is Israel Next?

"A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines." - Ralph Waldo Emerson. What an incoherent, dithering [and withering] non-Policy our Obama-Clinton Foreign Policy is.

Jared Loughner: Modern Liberalism’s Natural Consequence

"Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants, it is the creed of slaves." - William Pitt Sheriff Dupnik of Pima County Arizona is a Democrat. He is also a partisan hack who apparently sees law enforcement through partisan spectacles, and who therefore needs to retire. If he keeps on making stupid and ignorant partisan allegations, he will seal the fate of, and all but destroy the Democrat Party in Arizona.
