Internet Control By Government
NET NANNY IS SLOW AND MYOPIC Andrew Bolt TonyfromOz prefaces ….. This is a buzz topic here in Australia at the moment. The Government came to Office with the promise of installing high speed Broadband Internet access to every house in Australia, something that has not eventuated yet, and expressions of interest for the huge […]
Video: Is America Changing From A Republic To A Democracy?
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
Modern Day Giving Of Thanks
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 […]
Australia – The Movie – Some Inaccuracies
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. […]
The Holy Land Foundation Verdict
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 […]
Something Uplifting
November 28, 2008 by TonyfromOz
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 Special Edition – Pilgrims Regress
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 […]
Thanksgiving Day (1996)
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. […]
Power Plant Comparison
November 27, 2008 by TonyfromOz
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 […]
Wait For It
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 […]
The Australian Debate For Nuclear Generated Power
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 […]

A week ago in a Southern Afghanistan Province, some girls and their teachers had their faces sprayed with acid. Here is the link to the article.

Diary Of A Failed Dam
November 25, 2008 by TonyfromOz
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. Four years supply have flowed out in three floods, disastrously flooding the downstream area. In that […]

Public Service Announcement
Be on the lookout for terrorists such as this man.
TEA Party members like him are dangerous to Obamamerica. They have a warped sense of Justice and demand we all follow the Constitution and the Bill of Rights instead of what our Glorious Leaders want. Do not try to apprehend. Instead call Obama's Terrorist Hotline or the FBI.
