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.

Google’s Final Assault on Right-Wing Blogs – Has The Left Won It All?

November 29, 2008 by

3

» 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 […]

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.

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. […]

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. It would seem that the saying applies equally well for this situation. You mean you really believe in the […]

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 […]

Thanksgiving Day (1996)

November 27, 2008 by

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 […]

Thanks To Whom

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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.

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.
