The New Liberalism
Our POTUS has recently finished his hajj routing him through European countries from Germany to Egypt, finally culminating at the altar of the United Nations. This was an apologetic tour explaining America’s culpability in all that ails the world from war, to poverty, to ruination of the climate. The idea that the US is not exceptional in it’s history or in her positive contributions which has made the world a better place to live, seems to be the theme behind much of what the Obama administration and his Capital Hill minions promulgate. Charles Krauthammer summarizes the definition of the New Liberalism as the following: For what might be called the New Liberalism, the renunciation of [American] power is rooted…in the conviction that...
Has the NYT’s Lost It?
Usually the NYTs is left of left in their opinions, views and editorials. But this front page admission that force might be working better than diplomacy in the Mideast mess would probably make even moderates shake in their army boots. Look, no one wants war or lives to needlessly be lost, but the use of force and/or the threat of force has it’s place in today’s menacing world of loonies. These “goodists” that I wrote about last week need to wake up and realize that we live in an evil world and the US has enemies. The US has also protected and fought for freedom around the globe. Even though we get little credit these days because apparently people have short memories of what it costs for freedom to sometimes be wrenched away...
Carrot Juice
US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has just finished up talks with the Russian Foreign Minister and failed to get an agreement that would put more pressure on Tehran. You know, diplomacy, negotiations, talks, carrots for Russia to increase sanctions against Iran because of their nuclear ambitions. The highest Russian diplomat refused to take a harder stance labeling the actions against Iran “counterproductive.” Why? Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said they want to engage in additional diplomacy, negotiations, talks, and carrots for Iran to dispense with their production of nuclear weapons. Notice that the UN has passed sanctions against Iran for the past 3 years to no avail. Sound familiar? Remember Iraq? Remember the...
Rejectionists
So apparently any time we disagree with the administration’s policies we’re called names. Oh, I’m sure there’s enough name calling on both sides, but we have to be able to disagree with the POTUS without being labeled racists, homophobes, right-wing kooks, and even Nazi’s (Nancy Pelosi called some of the “tea-party” gang Nazi’s). Eugene Robinson in his latest opinion column in the Washington Post now call those who disagree with Obama, “rejectionists.” There are those of us who feel like the Nobel Peace Prize is now even more of a joke than before because the left leaning Norwegians and Scandinavians awarded their highest honor to a man who has done absolutely nothing to restore peace. Sure,...
A Nightmare
Sorry but our home computer crashed and …well you know the rest of the story. But, I’ll pick back up on the attachment stuff real soon. In the mean time, found this great little article.
