Many people think that the two terms are interchangeable. Nothing could be further from the truth. Carl also writes for his own blog at Right Wing Wiz Kid
DOUBLESPEAK AND AMERICAN SOCIALISM Cliff Kincaid “Mortgage Rates Fall as U.S. Expands Rescue” was the page-one headline in the November 26th Wall Street Journal. The story concerned a promise from federal officials to “pump” another $800 billion into the economy, bringing the grand total of the cost of various bailouts to something over $8 trillion.… [Read more…]
» by Bill Dupray The MSM’s nauseating, pro-Obama bias during the campaign was almost too much to bear. The Libs won, and the un-Fairness Doctrine is on the front burner, once again taking aim at right-wing talk radio. The fallback position for Conservatives has always been, “well, we always have the right-wing blogs.” But even… [Read more…]
GIVING THANKS FOR SELF – RELIANT AMERICANS Michelle Malkin In the Year of Bottomless Bailouts, I am most grateful this Thanksgiving for Americans who refuse to abandon thrift, personal responsibility and self-reliance. When the moochers and entitlement-mongers drive you mad, remember that our nation still serves as home to millions of citizens who do for… [Read more…]
LURHMANN’S WORST SCENE Andrew Bolt TonyfromOz prefaces ….. I haven’t seen this movie, and for that reason, I’ve refrained from commenting on it. I was going to specifically not make any comments, mainly because in not seeing it, there may be a perception that I am just kibbitzing from the sidelines as an uninformed critic.… [Read more…]
Editorial: The Holy Land Foundation verdict AIFD in the Media] Last week’s guilty verdicts in the Holy Land Foundation terrorist fundraising trial were a welcome conclusion to a long and hard-fought case. As reporting earlier in this decade by this newspaper’s Steve McGonigle showed, the Richardson-based Islamic charity, once the largest of its kind in… [Read more…]
ALL YOU CHANGED WAS THE SHIRT Andrew Bolt TonyfromOz prefaces ….. We have a saying in Australia that I have used here for the title, and I suppose the same saying is popular in the US.

I mentioned in a series of earlier posts my love of music, mostly from all sources. As i aged, that appreciation expanded. I still am not all that keen on ‘Musicals’ per se even though some of the music and the songs have translated well to popular music, and some have been covered by big… [Read more…]
THE FOUNDATION “Go on, then, in your generous enterprise with gratitude to Heaven for past success, and confidence of it in the future. For my own part, I ask no greater blessing than to share with you the common danger and common glory … that these American States may never cease to be free and… [Read more…]
I’ve always felt that American Jews should be thankful that this lovely American holiday is so friendly to Jewish participation. Turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, there’s absolutely nothing non-kosher in the scrumptious holiday fare. Many American Jews who make aliyah to Israel try to keep up the turkey-day tradition …but as the years slide by it… [Read more…]
By Tom McLaughlin On Thanksgiving Day, Americans give thanks to God. Used to be everyone knew that but the multiculturalists among us have done their damnedest to hide it, so it’s become necessary to state it up front. When I ask my students, “Who is to be thanked on this national holiday?” they look puzzled.… [Read more…]

This is what might seem a complex exercise on the surface, but it will show in relatively simple terms just what is actually required to even start thinking about replacing those coal fired power plants that we are told are contributing towards anthropogenic global warming, if you actually are prepared to believe that they are… [Read more…]
WAITING FOR IT We sit here in Israel and watch the economic meltdown moving towards us like a giant tsunami wave on the horizon. The local TV and newspapers seem almost eager to bring dire predictions and reports of lost jobs and pension funds hit with big time losses. If you live here in the… [Read more…]
A QUESTION OF MANHOOD – THE CONTINUED RELEVANCY OF WILLIAM AYERS Nicholas Guariglia It has been three weeks since the seemingly inevitable occurred. Sen. Barack Obama is now President-elect Obama. My guy lost. Rather than offer an immediate, blame-all, knee-jerk post-election analysis of “What went wrong,” I felt obliged to think it over for a… [Read more…]
WE NEED NUKES Andrew Bolt TonyfromOz prefaces ….. Australia is having the Climate Change debate in earnest, and has been having this debate shoved down our throats for a year or more now. Coal fired power generation has been (erroneously) blamed as the major cause, and there is the rush to move away from this… [Read more…]

Yesterday, in this post, I talked about how millions of gallons of drinking water are flowing into the ocean, when the city of Melbourne is crying out for drinking water, and for want of a dam, are doing without.
