An Amendment to Restrict the Privilege of Voting

Drat...Now We Have to Ban Cows Too!

When the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) listed carbon dioxide (CO2) as a dangerous pollutant I imagine that the world's plant life (trees and such) took it pretty hard, seeing as how they need CO2 in order to survive. Well, you can't make an omelet without breaking some eggs, as the saying goes. Sorry, plants, nothing personal but, adios.

Media Hits New Low

"You can try to avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality." -- Ayn Rand (1905-1982) The people at "Charlie Hebdo" who were murdered deserved it, and Pamela Geller "asked for it?" WTF?

The Left, Right, and Baltimore

Looking back at the past forty years, I now see that things were racing out of control: People had grown lax and indifferent, Forming factions and fighting among themselves.

A Foolish Consistency

"Consistency is the hobgoblin of narrow minds" --Obama 4/11/15 "The US is frightened of Iran, because it is a superpower now. This is not Iraq or Afghanistan. If the US blinks, Iran would destroy it." --Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah

An Easter Wish

No guru, no method, no teacher; just you and I and Nature, and the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost, in the garden wet with rain. --Van Morrison "In The Garden"

Clearing Up the Middle East Situation

Recently my mom complained to me that she is confused by what is happening in the Middle East. I doubt she is alone in this, and for her benefit and those of you who share her confusion I have decided to clear things up. With that in mind, what follows is a brief summation of the situation in the Middle East -- hopefully it will answer a number of questions you might have.

The USA in Libya: Battle of Derne

Take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness; travel by unexpected routes and strike him where he has taken no precautions. -- Sun Tzu (circa 544-496 BC) The Art of War From the halls of Montezuma To the shores of Tripoli; We fight our country's battles In the air, on land and sea.... --USMC Hymn Nearly a thousand years after Islamists attacked Rome and desecrated the Tomb of St. Peter (846 AD) America got its turn at bat against Muslims during the 1st Barbary War (1801-1805). Fighting Muslims overseas no doubt helped to build the very fabric of our nation -- thanks for the leg up, Islam.

The Heart and Soul of the US Constitution

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. -- 2^nd Amendment, Bill of Rights, US Constitution A careful reading of the 2^nd Amendment clearly shows that it does not give anyone the right to anything. What it does say, in no uncertain terms, is that the right to keep and bear arms (a right assumed to already exist), shall not be tampered with (infringed) by the federal government.

We Came, We Saw, He Died

"We came, we saw, he died." -- Then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton laughingly gloating over the death of Muammar Gaddafi (1942-2011)

Letting My Freak Flag Fly--Again

Almost cut my hair It happened just the other day It was getting kind of long I could have said it was in my way

Make Ready for the Christ

Make ready for the Christ whose smile, like lightning, sets free the song of everlasting glory that now sleeps, in your paper flesh, like dynamite --Thomas Merton (1916-1968) "The Victory" (from "A Man In The Divided Sea") You cannot have too much respect for yourself. You cannot have too much confidence in yourself. You cannot claim too much for yourself. But remember that you must realize these things as being the expression of God in you, and not independent qualities of your own. You must also accept them as being true for every other human being.

So Just How Stupid Are Liberals Anyway?

Seeing as how liberal stupidity is a given, the question becomes one of degree--just how stupid are liberals? Are they off-the-charts stupid, or simply low-wattage-dim-bulb stupid?

Pity-pot Perception

Self-pity is easily the most destructive of the non-pharmaceutical narcotics; it is addictive, gives momentary pleasure and separates the victim from reality.--John W. Garner (1912-2002) I choose to live in a present reality of constructive action, and envision a future of enlightened possibilities. So I have no time for race-baiters and grievance hustlers who obsess over a long gone past. Their efforts to stoke the fires of bitterness and hatred disgust me.

Fanning the Flames of Envy, Greed, and Hatred

And now the spiritually warped, morally stunted, lying sacks of s--t that comprise the Far Left are prepared to once more immerse millions in bloodshed in order to satiate their ego-driven lusts and fulfill their perverted delusions. All of you left-wing dolts...are obviously nothing but strident anti-American freedom hating a--holes. # each and every one of you traitorous dips--ts, from Boston to San Francisco, from sea to shining sea! --It's the Illegality, Stupid

SEALs and Usama bin Laden

Many in the community are...infuriated, [O'Neill] says. "There's a shitstorm around this." --Rob O'Neill referring to SEALs going public, "The Man Who Killed Osama bin Laden...Is Screwed" "Frankly, a week ago Sunday, in the Situation Room, we all agreed that we would not release any operational details from the effort to take out bin Laden. That all fell apart on Monday--the next day." --Then Defense Secretary, Robert Gates 5/12/11

Jubilation is Not Gloating

I feel like I have taken my first deep breath in six years.

Some Pre/Post Election Advice from Sun Tzu

As the elections on November 4th draw ever nearer I would like to share some words of advice from Sun Tzu’s (circa 544–496 BC) classic ‘The Art of War’.

Liberia, the Lone Wolf-pack, and D'Souza's "America" the Movie

Because of Ebola the country of Liberia is much in the news lately, yet most people remain unaware that the US has something of a vested interest in Liberia. It is, for better or worse (mostly worse), America's only colony on the African continent--former colony I should say.

Ebola and Criminal Negligence

Adopting from the new Revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he [Mohammed] humbled it to the dust by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind.
