There comes a moment in everyone’s life, often several moments, really, when he or she finally knows, with perfect clarity, where they stand or what they believe in. I guess I was always kind of conservative….I’ve often mentioned how I voted for and supported Reagan even before I was old enough to vote. In 1980, Ohio County Schools held a mock election in grades 7-12 to show the kids how the system works. I voted for Reagan. In 1984, I wore a big Reagan-Bush pin, there on the pocket of ...
The company I work for recently enacted a new Diversity policy. There are posters in the breakroom, restrooms and hallways of happy, smiling people of many and varied races, genders and apparent religions, all just gittin’ along in happy, smiling, productive peace ‘n’ harmony. "Our Strengths Lie In Our Differences", "We’re Different, but Stronger"---mottos like that. Goofy and corny. Let’s face it; are you really gonna get along better with people who are, and see things differently than you,...
Six million Jews and unknown numbers of others died in the Nazi Holocaust. I believe it; I know it's a fact. I know this because I've seen overwhelming and satisfactory evidence, and heard the stories from my great-uncle Arthur, whose division, the Fighting 42nd, liberated a Death Camp. Iran, purposely taking another giant step away from the sanity and order of the rest of modern civilization, sponsored a contest to see who could come up with the best Holocaust cartoon. It was won by a moro...
On Sept. 15, Six Flags Great Adventure theme park in NJ held the "Great Muslim Adventure Day" (see link). 15,000 or more were expected to attend. Sadly, the event was rained out. Well, I'm sure lots of people of all walks of life were disappointed that day, having been so looking forward to a fun day enjoying Six Flags amusement facilities, right? I mean, many groups get a special day of lower rates and/or special treatment among the crowds at such parks. Right? Wrong. The entire park was cl...
I don't know how this got in "Personal Computing", but I moved it to this forum.-----RW If we just took off and abandoned them, Iraq would just fall apart. It would be a hell on Earth. Much worse than it is. Everything we've tried to do in the last 3+ years, along with all the deaths and maimings, would be for absolutely nothing. Iraq, as bad as it is, would be a hundred times worse if we just dropped the ball and took off. Like it or not, we both set in place AND toppled Sadaam's govern...
In a recent article, titled "Witch! Witch! Witch!", an article ‘which’ has since mysteriously disappeared (otherwise I would happily have linked you there), an erstwhile blogger made "coded" references to the effect that SoS Condi Rice was, perhaps, being…..well…..less ‘black’ than those of her race would like and/or expect of her; perhaps not doing enough for blacks in America and in the world at large(at least, that's how I took it). As if simply being a black woman with the title "United ...
The following was a reply I made to Cactoblasta in response to his comment, copied below....I thought I would post the whole thing as an article, because I think it says at least a little something about our situation in the world.---RW There were the purges in Bosnia a few years back and the religious violence in Ambon (which continues to this day). ---Cacto That was localized violence; I'm talking about an organized mass movement. There is much more Muslim violence against others in ...
From time to frequent time, we are reminded by the MSM that, though Islamist violence (that is, violence in the name of Allah) is to be found the world over, that the vast majority of them are just kind, peace-luvvin', carnation-in-the-rifle-barrel, let's-all-join-hands-and-sing-"Kum-Ba-Ya", just-get-up-and-go-to-work-day-in-day-out-just-livin'-life folks. They tell us that Islamic Fundamentalism and the terrorist behavior it engenders is just an horrific anomaly. A mutation of that faith an...
Robert Byrd (D; WV) has said, at the beginning of our War on Terror, that we should just forget about fighting the terrorists because, in his opinion, such a war would simply never end. We'd have "enough enemies to fight until Doomsday" (that's a paraphrase). What should we do? Why, negotiate with them, of course. Of course, Doomsday is just what at least some the bad guys want, in this case. But hey; we should just sit back, take their barbaric, 12th-century crap and let whatever happens ...
Two fags are holding hands, walking on the beach, when one of them trips and falls. There, sticking out of the sand, is a Genie Lamp. Thinking how divine it would look on the mantle, he begins dusting it off. POOF! A flash of light, a puff of smoke, and out pops the Genie of the Lamp. "Greetings….thank you for freeing me from my prison; for this, I will grant you one wish; but only one, so choose carefully." The two faggots put their heads together and consider their choices. Finall...
Graduation season rolls around once more, and the hunt goes out for significant, influential names to fill the cards as inspirational speakers. According to Bill O’Reilley’s article last week, the liberal Left has been honored time and again, with (accepted) invitations for Hillary to speak the Truths As She Knows Them at Adelphi University, while Chuck Schumer’s hateful venting will doubtlessly motivate and inspire the fiery youth at Buffalo State. Barbara Boxer will spout her rhetoric at...
I work two jobs; 3 evenings a week, I work 5 hours at a Dollar General. On the counter beside the registers are boxes of those "ribbon" magnets..... red, white and blue, star-bedecked "God Bless America", "Pray for our troops", etc. Also in the box, in the interest of fairness perhaps, are ones (mainly) for those who don't support the current trend toward patriotic militarism These are plain, bland, baby-blue magnets which read "Bring our troops home safely". Nothing at all wrong with that ...
In a little over four months, five years will have passed since those dark hours on September 11th, 2001. It's already been nearly half a decade. Time flies. Since then, we've invaded Afghanistan and Iraq, two pillars of the ideal known as Islamic Terrorism. Debate that point all you want, but that's why we're there. Bin-Laden is still at large, of course, sending, to our "allies" at al-Jazeera, his infrequent messages and threats. Al-Jazeera also gleefully plays the threats and messages se...
This article, I suppose, should really be posted in the "Religion" forum, but since it involves an aspect of the "Liberal/Conservative" thing, I thought I'd post it here, in "Politics". I brought this subject up a few weeks ago in my Sunday School class, which is instructed by our church's Worship Leader, Lynne. She is also the Pastor's wife, and is very passionate in her faith. I liked what she had to say, and asked her to write it down and forward it to me for posting here. I'm waitin...
Okay, Lefites.....sorry to be the one to pour salt on yet another of your snails, but the "failed" government in Iraq is at last beginning to take shape. All it takes is time, which you are not at all willing to give. Of course, this being an AP report, they had to temper this good news with a body count, but what else can we expect from the MSM? Iraqi Leaders End Deadlock Amid Violence By QASSIM ABDUL-ZAHRA BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Iraq's president designated Shiite politician ...
