First there was Rev. Wright with his “God Damn America” speech. Now we have a Catholic Priest, Father Pfleger, which is kind of a fun name to say out loud, mocking Clinton and white people in general.
The Georgetown Blog notes:
During his sermon, Father Pfleger mocked Hillary Clinton’s tears before the New Hampshire primary. He [...] Read more »

How Many Pastors Does it Take to Screw a Candidate?
Interview: Douglas Murray
Neoconstant is delighted to welcome the leading British Neoconservative political commentator and author, Douglas Murray. In the year 2000, he became the youngest ever published biographer with his widely acclaimed ‘Bosie: A Biography of Lord Alfred Douglas’. However, it is probably his most recent book ‘Neoconservatism: Why We Need It’ that has seen his reputation [...] Read more »
CAIR: Islamists Masquerading as Moderate Muslims
By Andrew L. Jaffee, netwmd.com
I worked with a Shiite Muslim for seven years, probably one of the best customers I’ve ever had. I avidly follow true moderate Muslim commentators like Fareed Zakaria, [1] Kamal Nawash, [2] Fouad Ajami, [3] and Mansoor Ijaz. [4] I hold democratically-elected Muslim leaders like President Megawati Sukarnoputri of Indonesia with [...] Read more »
Trust But Verify - The Problems In Dealing With Syria and Iran
“Trust but verify.” Those were the watchwords of President Ronald Reagan when he embarked upon the historic series of negotiations with the Soviet Union that would culminate with the START I Treaty designed to reduce the numbers of nuclear weapons deployed by the United States and Soviet Union. Today a tempest in a teapot has [...] Read more »
Ron Paul and the al-Paulista Martyrs Brigade
Ron Paul has absolutely no chance in a million years of becoming the next President of the United States of America. None. I site, as my source for this wild claim, the fact that he has not won a single state primary. Add to this the fact that his popularity is more a media infatuation [...] Read more »

Yesterday on MSNBC’s Morning Joe former JFK speechwriter Ted Sorensen joined former LBJ speechwriter Doris Kearns Goodwin for a discussion of the similarities between Barack Obama and John F. Kennedy. For those less mindful of their history one could only sense that any such comparisons the two made favorably of Obama with Kennedy would redound [...] Read more »
Fair government - a decent life - reasonable future.
This really follows on from my recent article TAXATION IS A DIRTY WORD, primarily because of the encouraging and agreeable comments received. I like what was written on Fair Tax, and that could be a way forward, but I will leave that to others to take up.
I’d like to expand on my thoughts here about [...] Read more »
Barack Obama: Media Darling
If you follow politics closely, there is a distinct media bias in this country that is evidenced almost on a daily basis. In this current political season regarding Barack Obama, it is more observable than ever.
Never in my life have I witnessed one politician “misspeak” so many times in such a short period and have [...] Read more »
Smoking in Flagstaff’s Bars
I’m not a smoker. I used to be, but I quit two years ago. Now I can’t stand smoking. I try it every once and a while, and I always feel worse for wear afterward. I don’t particularly like being around second-hand smoke either. I don’t like the smell of old smoke–it’s stale, and dirty, [...] Read more »
“What did Chamberlain Do Wrong?”
A recent spat on the Chris Matthew’s television program (“Dancing with the Stars” we believe?) has provided a splendid micro-study of the various bankruptcies which characterize the low-state of political debate currently at play in the last best hope of mankind. May God help us all.
First there is intellectual bankruptcy demonstrated [...] Read more »
