In the past decade, there has been a spate of books with titles of the year, their authors believe, was seminal in national or world history.  Perhaps, their attention to the significance of dates is in response to the trend in the 1970s to de-emphasize dates in studying the events of the past.  On book, ...
Liberty, not Racism, Drives Critics of Obamacare
2009-08-08 02:54:00
If there was a theme which unites two of the biggest issues bloggers have been reporting, discussing and debating this week, it would be the projections all too many liberals cast on their conservative counterparts.  First, they accused us of backing the “birthers.”  Then, they used various slurs to attack our opposition to the President’s ...

David Lereah, the most discredited economist in world history, finally admi
2008-05-07 05:35:00
No, this is not a joke. David Lereah, the thoroughly discredited former Chief Cheerleader for the evil National Association of realtors, publisher of the hilarious comedy "Why the Real Estate Boom Will Not Bust", and pinata for this blog among others, has come out of his self-imposed hole.Hey, a guy has to make a living somehow, right?So Lereah has these gems in Newsweek - and no, THIS IS NOT A JOKE."We're not at the bottom," he says. "[People] want it to be near the bottom, but we're not there yet. The leading indicators are still very bad. Pending home sales are still in bad shape. Mortgage applications are low ? There's still supply out there in abundance ? This thing is going to get worse before it gets better.""We're probably going to end up with a 20 percent [decline], but if I'm wrong it will be even more than that" "I didn't think this would turn into an all-out bursting of a balloon for the whole nation""That (lending) got so out of hand, and none of us realized the m...

Sarkozy: The French Revolutionary
2007-09-20 15:34:00
As usual, the MSM (or “drive-by” media) is completely missing a huge political story that will probably shape our lives for a generation:  The emergence of French President Nicolas Sarkozy as a conservative (in USA terms) revolutionary in Western Europe.  For the first time in my lifetime, a French President is embracing American-inspired goals, dreams ...

World History Is A Drama
2007-01-10 04:35:00
The interplay between souls, nature, God and time is what constitutes the cycle of world history. We shall call it the world drama. God is the director, the souls are the actors, nature is the stage and the movement of the drama is time.The drama is the story of human souls, their rise and fall, victory and defeat, happiness and suffering, knowledge and ignorance, liberation and bondage. It is the story of the play of good and evil forces and of the different stages through which the souls pass in five different epochs. It is a story of how the souls mistakenly identify themselves with their perishable bodies and how this leads to a decline in all levels of human activity. This decline then reaches its extreme until souls turn again to God and restore their former spiritual heights. Decline, consequences of the law of cause and effect, the emergence of vices, the increase in worship, the advent of pure souls as founders of religions, the emergence of many religions, the growth...
