Ahmadinejad joins Truther Ranks
2008-04-16 20:03:00 Sometimes, if you want to run a sanity check, it’s helpful to look at those who share the same views you do. Perhaps some of the Truthers might be a little shaken in their beliefs if they realized that apocalyto-nut Ahmadinejad is also a Truther. On second thought, when I think about who the Truthers are, it occurs to me that finding that he is a fellow traveler may just cement them more firmly in their views.

Historians Speak for History
2008-04-16 19:58:00 …insofar as how it will remember George W. Bush. President Bush often argues that history will vindicate him. So he can’t be pleased with an informal survey of 109 professional historians conducted by the History News Network. It found that 98 percent of them believe that Bush’s presidency has been a failure, while only about 2 percent see it as a success. Not only that, more than 61 percent of the historians say the current presidency is the worst in American history. “Informal” is right. What if it were more formal, something with more gravity than an anonymous, smarmy remark being compiled into an “informal survey” with more of the same? What if there were stakes involved? Imagine the thinking that would be going on if you asked 109 professional historians to put money down on the answer. History shows just a few definite trends in figuring out who is “worst”; I don’t agree with them all, but they’re there. And the traits for which history seems to look, are... More About: Speak
Societal breakdown in England
2008-04-16 13:15:00 Some months ago, the British papers were filled with the story of Shannon Matthews, a little girl who vanished from her home in West Yorkshire, sparking a huge manhunt. She was eventually found, 24 days later, at the home of her stepfather?s uncle. The big shocker, though, was the fact that both her stepfather and ... More About: England

Are We Prepared?
2008-04-15 14:42:00 British police and security agencies are keeping tabs on 30 terror plots, 22,000 Individuals, and 200 Networks, facing a threat level that is severe and growing. I wonder if they are listening to Islamic cleric Yunis Al-Astal who said, “We will conquer Rome, and then Eastern Europe and the Americas.” Go to No Compromise ...
The MSM ? Mis-Educating the Masses
2008-04-15 13:45:00 In the old days ? pre-internet ? politicians were able to get away with a lot of lies. This wasn?t because they lied better than they do now. It was because it was more difficult to suss out the truth and, even if one was successful in doing so, it was very challenging, ...
Imperialistic plans
2008-04-14 17:21:00 One of the things about conspiracy theorists is that they live in a hazy world of innuendo and speculation. There?s never any hard evidence to support their theory, just a lot of disparate facts that can be spun together into a tangled and usually nonsensical tapestry. As often as not, the beauty of the theories ... More About: Plans

This Bitter Voter Says Obama is Full of Crap
2008-04-13 03:38:00 This is what Barack Obama said about small town voters who don’t buy into his message: “It’s not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.” Now that he has been caught this ...

U.S. Marine Slandered by Murtha Needs Your Help
2008-04-11 22:42:00 In my opinion John Murtha owes the Marine s and the entire military a big — public — apology, AND he needs to contribute some funds to help pay the legal expenses of the Marines he slandered. Can they ever get their reputations back? I don’t know. Can you ever gather all the feathers from a ...

2008-04-11 13:51:00 The State Supreme Court got this one right, and neatly sidestepped any discussion of the 2nd Amendment in doing so: The state Supreme Court dealt a final blow Wednesday to San Francisco ?s voter-approved ban on handguns, rejecting the city?s appeal of a lower-court ruling that sharply limited the ability of localities to regulate firearms.

2008-04-10 13:25:00 A few good reads: Katherine Kersten exposes the fact that Muslims in Minnesota are using public charter schools to promote religion amongst the students.

Teens Who Hate America
2008-04-10 00:37:00 Pam Meister?s column receives a well-deserved spot on the Pajamas Media front page.
