We keep hearing of stories of Grinches everywhere. Seniors in their apartment building are told to take their tree down, the poor, sweet, old, dears are now victims and someone should be very ashamed. Residents in a Newhall senior apartment complex are protesting an order from management to remove their beloved Christmas tree from the community room because, they were told, it's a religious symbol. On Tuesday, Tarzana-based JB Partners Group Inc. sent a memo to staff at The Willows senior apartment building ... Read More

  / end sarcasm. President Obama once called the war in Afghanistan the “good war." As if the war in Afghanistan were morally better somehow. Actually, some people believe we're spending billions of dollars to back up Afghanistan’s one percent. Tell me again, HOW did he get that Nobel Peace Prize? Can he give it back? Today on Fox News, I learned from Louie Gohmert the staggering truth that 70% more troops have been killed and 84% have been wounded in the Afghan war ... Read More

This might be the most disturbing news in a long time: The House just passed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), including a provision to authorize worldwide war, which has no expiration date and will allow this president — and any future president — to go to war anywhere in the world, at any time, without further congressional authorization. The new authorization wouldn’t even require the president ... Read More

A few things today... #1. The White House wants you to know that the military action in Libya is not a war. In the last few days, Obama administration officials have frequently faced the question: Is the fighting in Libya a war?  From military officers to White House spokesmen up to the president himself, the answer is no.  But that leaves the question: What is it?In a briefing on board Air Force One Wednesday, deputy national security adviser Ben ... Read More

I will just let the headlines lead you today...whether its Obama's ever changing stance  on war or his Brazil can drill but we can't... he makes no sense at all.   Dems Abandon Obama on War... 'We're In Libya Because Of Oil'... Use Obama's own words to slam him now... Obama '07: 'President Does Not Have the Power...To Unilaterally Authorize a Military Attack' Libya Attacks Spark Oil Price Surge... Obama: Drill, Brazil, Drill! Allies Expand Libya Military Campaign, Debate Command... Russia calls for immediate ceasefire... Emerging powers join in ... Read More

The Washington Times has something interesting to say about this latest news from Obama and the Libya matter. EDITORIAL: Obama’s illegal war Congress, not the U.N., should authorize force against Libya With Thursday’s passage of United Natons Security Council resolution 1973, the United States is set to go to war against Libya. Removing Moammar Gadhafi from power would probably advance the cause of freedom, but the United Nations has no legal authority to take a step of this magnitude. By bowing to the ... Read More

Not sure I liked Bush, not sure the Iraq War was the way to go. Having said that, seeing that we will be hearing a lot about both in the upcoming elections, here is some perspective that made me stop and think... From the Washington Examiner: Expect to hear a lot about how much the Iraq war cost in the days ahead from Democrats worried about voter wrath against their unprecedented spending excesses. The meme is simple: The economy is in a shambles ... Read More

Apparently the Polish people are upset at Obama's miss of the funeral of  their President Lech Kaczynski. True, Iceland's volcano made the skies a dangerous place. While other world leaders found other ways to get there, Obama took the day to play golf. Poor taste? Perhaps. This has led certain newspapers to compare Bush and Obama with golf and war. Mr. Obama has played golf far more often than former President George W. Bush. In his eight years in office, Mr. Bush ... Read More

Norwegians are upset at Obama. From the Guardian: Barack Obama's trip to Oslo to pick up his Nobel peace award is in danger of being overshadowed by a row over the cancellation of a series of events normally attended by the prizewinner. Norwegians are incensed over what they view as his shabby response to the prize by cutting short his visit. The White House has cancelled many of the events peace prize laureates traditionally submit to, including a dinner with the Norwegian Nobel committee, ... Read More

I love talking politics to John in the morning, he often reminds me of things said that I have forgotten... In case the Australian news didn't pick it up, I was explaining to him that even though the Democratic National Convention seemed to go on without a lot of loons around around it, however the Republican's Convention, when hardly it started, there were anti-war demonstrations... violent riots even. I shared with him the Fox News Video, and he saw how out ... Read More

In light of my blog "Be Ready" where I posted dcTalk's "I Wished We'd All Been Ready" and they sing of the Rapture, I remembered yet another song on a simular subject. The Bible talks of a time when Jesus comes again, and mentions all the signs. According to Johnny Cash, It's Going by the Book. Going by the Book by Johnny Cash   ... Read More

Revelation 6:4  And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. John and Yoko, no matter how much you liked them or their music, just didn't in my opinion, see the whole picture. That along with their hopes, wishes to give peace a chance, and seeing the good in things, there exists the ... Read More

With the only accurate possible way to go, Hillary had to look at her voting record and reply honestly, defending her Iraq War Vote. Or was it honest? "I take responsibility for my vote, and I, along with a majority of Americans, expect the president and his administration to take responsibility for the false assurances, faulty evidence and mismanagement of the war," the New York senator said in a lengthy letter to thousands of people who have written her about the ... Read More

Not a huge fan of going to the movies, and hardly going to them at all, kind of makes when I do go, a bit of an event. This time around I decided on War of the Worlds, as the TV ads lured me to remember the days when my parents would fondly tell of the radio show that had the world in a panic. I suppose that influenced me heavily as, in fact, I am not a huge Tom ... Read More
