Peer Pressure
Peer Pressure; it’s not just for kids anymore. I recently dawned on me that one reason the ultra left political wing members are so angry is partly due to peer pressure. It seems that when one needs acceptance so much that one is willing to sacrifice themselves to the group then anger at a subconscious level builds to dangerous pressure. These people are not allowed to disagree without facing rejection, derision, animosity, and despair. To whit no one else can disagree with them.
This is especially true in Hollywood where people are afraid to speak their minds, even to close friends, because they fear the reaction of those who might disagree with them. The act of disagreeing with ultra left conventional wisdom is enough to raise questions about one’s sanity. Under the circumstances it’s easy to see why.
Recently I have had some feed back that indicated the reader missed the point. I must take part of the blame for not making it crystal clear; but one would expect the average vocabulary to include the word anathema. I guess not, and so a nice twist was wasted on the audience. Apparently the second a slight barb hits home the liberal brain begins to shut down, the eyes blur as a red haze of anger and fear is sent to the communication center. It’s fun really, and quite useful as an exercise.
When one cannot conceive let alone consider that someone else might have good or interesting to say regardless of its divergence then life becomes a bit frustrating. For example the 2000 election theft by George Bush was invented from whole cloth. The very precincts where the so-called fraud took place were controlled by the Democrats. How then did Georgie steal anything? Even the New York Times concluded that Bush won fairly.
To this day anyone in need of a black eye, a harangue, insults hurled ineptly, simply state that the 2000 election was fair and square to almost anyone from a Blue State.
No doubt there are many liberals with views that conflict with their friends and leaders who are afraid to say so. Peer pressure makes it impossible to have a full life, which is one reason intelligent children have trouble in school and don’t reflect on their experience there with happy thoughts.

Comments Welcomed and Appreciated
Thanks to all you who have been kind enough to read my articles. Especially thanks to those who have sent in comments, corrections, diatribes, etc. I welcome all and any reaction to my remarks. I have had some critical but very thoughtful well written commentary, and some emotional moronic blather. I enjoy them all. Please feel free to make your thoughts known. I will respond to all; though most have been anonymous thus prompting this post.
IslamoFascism
Apparently Muslim organizations in the United States are irritated by the term Islamofascism. It’s not clear who coined the term, but it is heard with regularity on such talk shows as Rush Limbaugh. American Muslims who do not support the actions of radical Islamic Fundamentalists should not really be upset. The term is quite apt, distinctive, and useful in separating one group of Muslims from the rest.
Almost all the Middle Eastern governments are Islamofascist regimes. They are secular dictatorships, religious dictatorships, or military dictatorships. These are the models that Wahabbi adherents want to emulate when they successfully defeat the infidel. There is no compunction about killing infidels because the Mullah’s promote the belief that non-Muslims are essentially wild beasts to be exterminated.
Their apocalyptic vision should cause thinking Westerners to pause and consider the position their civilization faces. Very few if any non-Muslims are willing to die or happily sacrifice their lives for a cause. The enemies of Western civilization have no such doubts. No matter what the question “Can’t we all just get along?” means to Westerners, the answer will always be No! The pathetic aspect of the current situation is the hope that the good life will appeal to these killers and so ameliorate their actions.
It does appeal, but it is not available, so jealousy, rage, and psychological confusion reign supreme. There are no economies in the countries that produce terrorists. Petrodollars are basically the only form of national income and wealth. The proceeds are not shared with the citizenry of the Arab and Farsi nations which mine the oil. These funds are used to buy weapons to prop up the regimes and to promote terrorism to distract the world’s attention from the real intentions of these governments and from the internal conditions of the countries.
Will Iranian leaders use a nuclear weapon against Israel? The answer is yes and probably as soon as they can. They don’t care if they disappear in the retaliatory strikes. Their populations are large, young, and underemployed. They cannot build what might be considered normal lives even under the skewed standards of Islam. An outlet for their energy and anger must be found; enter terrorists. Bliss is promised in the afterlife, bliss that can never be attained in this life. Is there much of a choice?
The hallmarks of fascism are totalitarian rule, clandestine arrests, torture, state supported economies concentrated on weapons development, and aggression towards neighboring countries. The term Islamofascism works very well in defining these adherents.

The Naive General
Former General Wesley Clark provided an analysis of the Joe Lieberman defeat that is really goofy. The General, who was fired by Bill Clinton for his behavior in Kosovo, is an opportunist of the first water. Unfortunately for him he is behind the curve at this point. His view that the Lieberman defeat is good for the Republicans in the short term but a bonus for the Democrats in the long run is a false reading of the tea leaves.
Clark posits that the Republicans will pound the Democrats for weakness on defense; which they certainly should do. Clark further asserts that every Democrat is just as patriotic as any Republican, something that doesn’t pass the laugh test. Clark states that the Democrats will be united in protecting the United States another ridiculous idea that is disproved by the statements of the MoveOn.Org and their fellow travelers. Today’s wealthy white Democrats don’t even believe that there is a war on terror, forget about Iraq. The Hollywood types clearly despise their homeland as many of them don’t live here most of the time. Their comments and behavior in foreign lands disparaging their country is a gimmick to gain acceptance in France, Germany, Spain, and England. They will never truly be accepted simply because they are Americans.
General Clark will never be a candidate again and if the Progressives win power he will be shunted aside in disgrace.
Another Great Editorial
The Wall Street Journal might be the newspaper of record supplanting the New York Times. Once again the editorial page has great material to consider; take a look. Michael Barone discusses the disappearance of the Democrat Party and the appearance, in its stead, of an as yet unnamed party but one that could be called The Progressive Liberal Party. As usual the name of an ultra left organization hides their real intentions.
Mr. Barone points out things that have been discussed in these pages namely that today’s leftists are rich, white people, insulated from the general citizenry of the US. The blacks and Hispanics who make up a large portion of US society are deliberately kept down by these so called Progressives. Where are they in the power positions? Where is Miguel Moore? The Progressives refuse or don’t think about supporting minority candidates. They see them as gardeners, garbage men, servants, but not as real people who could participate in society if properly educated and truly given an equal shot at life.
Instead they patronize them and tell them it’s not their fault that they continue to be mired in poverty. Any time a black citizen questions the conventional wisdom they slapped down as traitors, Oreos, and Uncle Toms. These Progressives don’t believe that Muslims want to kill them. They couldn’t be more wrong. It can only be hoped that the American public will catch on but it’s doubtful. It appears that most Americans are unconcerned with thinking and considering on an intellectual level the true condition of society.

Morons On Top
I’ve been noticing the BP ads on TV but I haven’t seen one that explains how morons came to be in charge of the company. The idea that Prudhoe Bay oilfield can be shut down for any length of time is ludicrous. I guess all the black belt 6 Sigma gurus were out to lunch. Surely there had to be some awareness of the fact that metal tubes will corrode.
The design of a pipeline system must consider maintenance, so presumably there would be built in some kind of secondary system so that the piped products could be diverted to allow inspection and repair to take place. Are we to believe that until someone noticed a spot of oil in the snow and that the company was blissfully ignorant of not only the possibility of leaks but the existence of one or more? Now BP is going to replace 70% of the transport tubes, how can this be?
Any manager knows that good quality systems increase profit by reducing cost. Maybe BP is making so much money that quality was not considered a very high priority; in fact that is obvious. There is a saying that high revenues hides a lot of problems and that is certainly true in this case. The Board of Directors must demand the resignation and replacement, over time of course, of the current management team. The superintendent of Prudhoe Bay must be terminated immediately.
Congress has to defy the environmentalist nut cases and get some new oil flowing and new refineries built and online. The fake outrage over large profits can be muted by making reinvestment possible. More capital expenditure will strengthen our chances for energy independence and boost our economy if only slightly. We can certainly use an economic boost about now.
The situation at Prudhoe Bay is almost criminal and certainly demands scrutiny. I cannot agree with those commentators who say “Let’s stop the blame game and get on with developing our resources.” The latter part of the statement is correct, but the former is not. There must be blame assessed and punishment, in the form of sending the boss home, so that future managers will hesitate to save money by deferring maintenance. The practice of maintenance deferral is a time honored way of beating the budget. Airlines use it and are courting disaster when they do. BP is simply reaping the results of deferring just a little too long.

Lanny Davis Awakens
When one looks in a mirror what does one see? It’s usually what the viewer wants to see: handsome, beautiful, trim, attractive, brilliant, and so on. But what does the mirror see? That is the age old question to which there is no answer only speculation. In today’s Wall Street Journal there is a rather sad editorial by Lanny Davis. It is sad because he has finally be forced to admit what many people already know and that is that today’s Democrats are juvenile, hateful, and dangerous.
Yesterday on the Fox News Channel Bob Beckel, a Democrat Party strategist remarked during the conversation about his liberal credentials that “…I don’t have to prove anything. During the 60s I was down south getting crackered.” Now if he had said getting niggered, or getting spicked what would the reaction have been? These people can not see themselves as the mirror sees them.
The Davis editorial provides several examples of what liberals like to call hate speech and they are disgusting. Why any Jew contributes and votes Democrat is beyond wonder; they are outcasts in their own party. Lanny Davis is either very naïve or disingenuous. Most likely it is the latter as he is a Democrat apparatchik and knows well the ways of the political world. While criticizing right wing commentators for hypocrisy and sanctimonious tirades he is betrayed by his own writing. His self-serving hoax attack on the left wing bloggers is really a ploy to warn them to not be as open as it will hurt the Democrats with most Americans who fear extremism from any side. Anyone that writes for public consumption should remember that the impulse to share one’s thoughts is a form of exhibitionism and is usually more revealing than anticipated.
The current Middle Eastern flare up is a very dangerous situation, but even more dangerous are the young, poorly educated ultra liberal bloggers who, because they have no sense of history and are functionally illiterate, accept distortion for truth and are easily manipulated into a rage. Should you want to view this problem for yourself get out in the blogosphere or into the Usenet groups, it will more than surprise it will shock and possibly frighten you.

A High School Reunion
Over the weekend I attended a high school reunion, it wasn’t quite the devastating experience I expected, and immediately afterward I had a difficult time about how I felt about it. The high school, St. Joseph’s in Atlanta, Georgia, was short lived; 1961 – 1976. This gathering was to include all the alumni so naturally there were many people that were unknown to each other.
It was rather like a surprise meeting of several friends in a crowded airport: a lot to catch up on with the pressing deadline of a departing flight schedule. I came to understand that a reunion, of any sort, is a mirror producing of reflection of one’s experience through memory of others. It can produce some really amazing feelings.
High school can be the worst of times in a young life creating bends and twists in a personality that are difficult to repair, at best only slightly. In the case of disasters like Columbine the damage is fatal. Children are naturally insecure by the time they reach high school and their self image is at risk insidiously. Somehow adults must make it clear that thinking for another person and acting upon the imagined outcome can never work. How this is to be done is a mystery for greater minds to solve. The high level of emotion, hormones, self-doubt, and the yearning for acceptance is a potent mix and difficult to control.
As for the reunion it will be my last. While the voyeuristic pleasures of such an event cannot be denied, the sense of loss and wonder are too much at this stage. For anyone considering a reunion remember that memories are never truly clear and others remember it differently. Have fun.

Are All Liberals Communists
The Liberal impulse springs from the need to make some sense of one’s life. From this positive attitude the situation goes down hill. Communism was a response to the arch conservatism of the Czarist system in Russia. Once in power the communists, under Lenin and more so under Stalin, killed more Russian citizens than all the Czars combined. Of course there were more living citizens to kill at that time, but in absolute numbers it is still true.
Why do liberals in particular the ultra left of the MoveOn.Org types so admire totalitarian systems and their leaders? If George Bush attempted to stay on as president after 2008 there would be howls of pain from the liberals and conservatives, why have there been no complaints about Fidel Castro? In fact the US embargo of Cuba is ridiculous because free trade would raise the Cuban economy back to its pre-Castro level and beyond. It would have been relatively easy to topple Castro from within because the prosperity would have made the population restless for more freedom.
Ultra liberals are honest in one sense: they openly admit that if they can get into power they are determined to undermine the position of the United States and implement policies that will degrade the economic performance of the nation. This is the template that is consistently used by people who think they know better than anyone else what is best. Regular liberals are thoroughly dishonest in the sense that they will not take a stand and embrace their contributors and that they will do their bidding if elected. Instead they issue platitudes that sound good but are without substance.
It is reasonable to guess that George Orwell’s 1984 is anathema to the Ultra Liberals because it reveals what they have in store for the citizens of the USA and the rest of the world. In Seattle, Washington there is a statue honoring Josef Stalin, a mass murderer of his own people. Washington State is of course a bastion of liberalism. The governor’s election actually was stolen by the Democrats even as they cried foul about George Bush’s election in 2000.
The Ultra Liberals admire Stalin, Castro, Chavez, Khomeini, and others of their ilk. Many of these tyrants come to power under the guise of democracy but soon reveal their true intentions. Instead describing George Bush as Adolf Hitler it might be useful if they apply this nomenclature to themselves; Hitler was legally elected and soon changed his behavior as he promised in Mein Kampf.
The United States population is too used to liberty to be completely duped and is largely armed to the teeth to resist such a takeover. Is this why the liberals want to disarm the population?

Button Pushing
Syria has played a good hand in the current war against Israel. Their ambassador made the disingenuous comment that Syria is ready to talk anytime but the Bush administration has ignored them for the past six years. This of course is merely a manipulation of the American Left. It is working and working well. It is true that the Bush Administration is the first in recent years to publicly ignore Syria; the other contacts by other Presidents have yielded nothing positive.
Assad, Senior and now Junior, have talked and talked but done nothing to assist the United States in bringing peace to the region. On the contrary, Syria along with Iran has done more to destabilize the situation than any other nation. The rulers of these nations are shrewd, ruthless, and determined to reach the desired outcome: the destruction of Israel no matter what the cost. The American political Left simply can not admit this. So they grasp at straws, and any opportunity to vent their rage and hatred of George Bush.
The Administration clearly got more than they expected with the liberation of Iraq. Paul Wolfowitz must be quite relieved to be at the World Bank and out of the Defense Department. He and Donald Rumsfeld did not think through the consequences of this action and persuaded George to proceed. Now the situation is that Iraq’s WMD are most likely to be in Syria’s possession and will undoubtedly be used if the threat to Assad’s dictatorship becomes serious.
The American Left is simply out of touch. Witness the latest juvenile attitude towards the reality that abounds; Dennis Kucinich has proposed a Cabinet level position to counter the Defense Department. He wants to establish a Department of Peace. Simply changing words can not change the world.

Taxes for Power
Beating a dead horse is never much fun, unless it keeps showing signs of life. Dennis Kucinich, Democrat from Ohio, has proposed a partial nationalization of the United States’ oil industry. Under his bill the US government would confiscate “excess profits.” This of course is a sure way to guarantee that oil prices will go higher as supplies dwindle due to lack of interest on the part of the oil companies.
The emergence of this bill dovetails nicely with the view that liberals can’t be trusted with economies. They will inevitably destroy the good life because their definition of the good life is them telling everyone else how to live. What in the world are excess profits? In a competitive world a company can never make enough money if it wants to survive. Kucinich has stated that the oil companies are running the US, in particular Washington, if true why is he still being heard from? His actions are admirable from one point of view and that is at least he is telling the truth about himself and his views; something most Democrat politicians will never do. They prefer the bait and switch tactics of promise to make changes and then just enjoy the privileges of power.
The human race must prefer monarchies in its heart of hearts. The strong leader be he a king, dictator, prime minister, or president is admired and respected. How else can Fidel Castro, Vladimir Putin, Hugo Chavez, Osama Bin Laden, be explained? Muslims really do believe all the gibberish about martyrs and the 72 virgins whether liberals like it or not. Not only will they die willingly when instructed to do so by their leaders they look forward to it. This makes them a very difficult enemy to defeat: they win by losing.
The Democrats are hell bent on destroying the US economy simply to blame it on the Republican penchant for spending. The rather simple minded view of many Americans that the government should and can take care of them is the result of 40 years of Democrat rule which ruined the public system of education and reduced the amount of critical thinking that goes on.

Land Purchase Reveals
Cindy Sheehan’s duplicitous purchase of land near President Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Texas reveals a character trait of left and ultra-left thinkers: they are inherently dishonest when it comes to achieving their goals. This is true from Cuba to Venezuela, to Brazil, and to Argentina. It will be true in the United States if the MoveOn.org crowd is ever able to obtain power.
The ultra left loves Castro, Chavez and the like and will emulate them if ever they come to power. These countries have no economic life to speak of; yes Venezuela has petro-dollars but not much else. In Argentina the new regime is perverting the courts in much the same way the left has done in the United States for decades. The result is false imprisonment and the welcome mat for Fidel Castro; one of the world’s premier communist dictators. Only Kim Jung IL can be considered worse.
The left in America promise to eradicate poverty, they have doing so since 1933 and redoubled their efforts in 1965 when LBJ launched the war on poverty. Like all other wars on social ills it has been a spectacular failure. Poverty is listed as the number one problem facing children who are “at risk” in the public schools. The real problem is too much administration, disinterested instructors, apathetic parents, and cultural resistance.
All this is courtesy of political correctness; a euphemism for a scheme to prevent criticism on the basis of fairness.
The George Soros’ of the world show their deceitfulness everyday and proudly demonstrate their intellectual dishonesty when they compare anyone who disagrees with them as Nazi’s. They are so caught up in their dreams of power and self-importance that they cannot do anything simply for the good of all. If after 73 years poverty programs continue to enrich the vendors and administrators, leaving out the poor, why should the left is trusted to get anything right?
In the United States the right wing politicians continue to miss opportunities to get the job done. They are cowed by political correctness and the enjoyment of the perks of power. They too are intellectually bankrupt caring only to be re-elected and increase their personal net worth if possible. George Bush is undoubtedly a good person, but for a 59 year old man he is pretty naïve and trusts the judgment of cynics a little too much.
There seems little to expect from these two groups somehow the average American will soldier on despite the Susan Sarandons, the Nancy Pelosis, the Anne Coulters, and the rest of those who would divide and destroy civil society.

All this is courtesy of political correctness; a euphemism for a scheme to prevent criticism on the basis of fairness.
The George Soros’ of the world show their deceitfulness everyday and proudly demonstrate their intellectual dishonesty when they compare anyone who disagrees with them as Nazi’s. They are so caught up in their dreams of power and self-importance that they cannot do anything simply for the good of all. If after 73 years poverty programs continue to enrich the vendors and administrators, leaving out the poor, why should the left is trusted to get anything right?
In the United States the right wing politicians continue to miss opportunities to get the job done. They are cowed by political correctness and the enjoyment of the perks of power. They too are intellectually bankrupt caring only to be re-elected and increase their personal net worth if possible. George Bush is undoubtedly a good person, but for a 59 year old man he is pretty naïve and trusts the judgment of cynics a little too much.
There seems little to expect from these two groups somehow the average American will soldier on despite the Susan Sarandons, the Nancy Pelosis, the Anne Coulters, and the rest of those who would divide and destroy civil society.

The Threat is Real
Al-Zawahiri must be taken seriously. His message today makes clear several things that have been discussed here and are currently being discussed around most of the world. It is imperative that the threats from Al-Qaeda be evaluated at face value. They are threatening attacks worldwide that won’t stop until Israel ceases to exist.
Nothing the do-gooders try will ameliorate this problem. The solution is the complete abandonment of support for Israel; the Europeans took this action many years ago. The United States will never abandon Israel; it cannot. In fact it would be no surprise to learn that the United States is encouraging Israel and is certainly replenishing the military supplies being consumed in this conflict.
It’s very interesting to hear the translation of the video message from Al-Zawahiri the stilted nature of the phrasing and the use of archaic language illustrates exactly what century these people represent. They are about 800 years behind the West culturally. While obvious it also points up the seriousness of the threat and the futility of negotiation. These are people who are willing to die to the last man; the West is practically unfamiliar with this concept.
The fact that no major terror operation has occurred in the US is no reason for complacency. Soon there will be suicide bombings in Shopping Malls, on the crowded streets of major US cities, and other violence. What then? We will have to wait and see but a reasonable prediction is that even the ultra left will join in the battle.

Confusion at the top
John Kerry has said that if he were president the current conflict between Israel and her enemies would not have happened. How can this be? Does Mr. Kerry mean that he is able to control Iran and Syria? On the other hand Howard Dean is accusing Mr. Maliki, the current Iraqi Prime Minister, of anti-Semitism. Which side are the Democrats on? Over the years they have tried to influence Israel to give in to their Arab, and now Muslim enemies. Now, with elections approaching, they are backpedaling.
The Arabs and Iranians are not really anti-Semitic as they are also a Semitic people but they are anti-Israel and that is the problem. The Muslims will never stop attacking Israel this is the salient fact that must be faced; there is no peaceful solution to the problem. Politicians in the United States and the entire non-Muslim world are in denial. Both American political parties are approaching the situation from the wrong angle. Our enemies are determined to wipe us out.
There are no moderate Muslims. It is acceptable according to the Koran to deceive one’s enemies. If there are Muslims who want a peaceful co-existence then they should make an effort to expose those that don’t. They should inform authorities about the activities of terrorists. The non-Muslim world should propose a plan for peace but prepare for war; a bloody disastrous one. It is almost certain that Iran will use nuclear weapons once it has the ability to do so.
The liberals in the US and Europe naively suppose that a religion that is taken very seriously by its believers will ever succumb to what they regard as a weak and decadent society.

British Open
The R&A must be feeling a bit embarrassed today. The tournament was superb, but the crowds were rude and certainly not knowledgeable about golf. To top it off the course was defaced by some people demonstrating either for or against something. In my opinion it should be another 39 years before the Open comes to Hoylake again.
The Royal Liverpool course is wonderful; too bad it is near Liverpool. It seems that Liverpudlians have no sense of decorum. The drama created by the match between Tiger Woods and Chris DiMarco was disgraced by the crowd’s behavior. The spectators can only be called crowd or mob based on what happened. The players had to back away on each shot and start again; it’s amazing that they were able to perform so well.
Perhaps it was the unusually warm weather that irritated the fans; after all it did get up to 80 degrees during the tournament. During the next PGA Championship in Medinah, Indiana, the temperatures will reach 100F but there will be no such outrageous behavior as was witnessed today in England. It has been said that English society has been coarsened; it seems to have been borne out today.
Still, Tiger Woods once again proved his mettle under adverse conditions. His control of his emotions and his golf swing was a sight to behold.

Face The Facts
Following the events of the most recent Arab-Israeli crisis one might imagine that Hezbollah and Hamas are comparable to misunderstood juvenile delinquents and that with love and understanding they will calm down and become productive citizens. CNN International has praised Nasrallah as being a benefactor of the Lebanese people. Their report made no mention of the number of murders he has committed and had committed by his followers.
The entire West is behaving quite naively. Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, and Syria have only one objective: the wipe out all Christians, Jews, Sufi, and Sunni Muslims. That’s it plain and simple. They are not going away. The religious police are being re-introduced in the Afghan society; many lives have been lost in vain if this is allowed to happen.
The correct course of action for the United States at this point is a complete withdrawal from Afghanistan and Iraq. The US should position its military so that when the slightest terrorist attack takes place overwhelming and obliterating force can be unleashed destroying the enemy at the rate of ten times the damage done to Americans. There will be no occupation, just a scorched earth leaving destitution and misery behind; and no helping hand afterwards.
Then and only then will peace be even remotely possible. The Arab Street, so loved by the media, is uneducated, emotional, and desperate apparently unable to figure out the consequences of their actions. So let them die. That is their view towards those they consider their enemies. Fill heaven with Muslims first, then let nature take its course with the rest of the human race.
Their can be no consoling, persuading, appeasing, or any other dealings other than with devastating force. As that favorite of the left, Mao tse Tung, said “All power comes from the barrel of a gun.”

Terror Again and Again
The United States and its Allies, if there are any, have miscalculated, and underestimated the power of Islam on the emotions of poorly educated and underemployed Muslims. To a certain degree the charges of American arrogance in its foreign policy are true. Across the political spectrum of American life there is a drift towards denial. The conservative and evangelical people feel strongly that Christ will save them. In reality the evangelicals don’t care they just want to get to Heaven; sound familiar?
The atheists, agnostics, Satanists, and lukewarm Christians, Buddhists, and the rest of the ultra left wing think religion is either despicable or a great club to belong to. The religious teachings are certainly not to be taken seriously. As a result these people can not conceive of anyone taking them seriously. This is a big mistake. Western culture has a strong tradition of dissent; Arab culture has no tradition of dissent. That is why you see them jumping up and down in the streets chanting death to those who disagree with them or their leaders. Of course were they to disagree with their leaders beheading might be in order.
My prediction is war and more of it; and probably in the most brutal sense. For those who are strictly religious the promise of Heaven means more than one more dollar in the bank. Of course the leaders of such people don’t really believe the ideas they preach they want power and could care less about Heaven. The Pope wears Prada shoes, of course we don’t know about Mullah Kahmeni but we can guess.
The West will continue to bolster political correctness in the hope that if we cynically love our enemies they will reciprocate. That idea is actually a death sentence.

World War
War for oil: it’s on the way. Despite the accusations by the anti-war, Move-On.Org crowd George Bush naively thought he could save the world. Iran is about three steps away from fomenting a global clash that is anyone’s guess about the consequences. The Arab- Jewish (Israeli) war of extermination has been going on since 1948 its agonizing prelude being the Final Solution attempted by the Nazis.
The joke is on the West. The attempt to rid Europe of its Jews, known as the partition of Palestine and the creation of the Jewish state made the industrial world’s dependence on oil the basis of the coming world war. In the early years no one paid much attention to the potential problem because essentially only the United States had a strong demand for oil and most of that was met through local production. Still the international oils companies searched the Arabian Desert for more reserves. As European prosperity returned their economies placed further strain on oil resources, but oil was mined so cheaply that the impact was minimal.
Gamal Nasser began to change all that. The United Arab League wanted its share of the oil wealth that the West was expropriating from their lands. The oil embargo of the 1970s pushed prices higher and led to contract renegotiation in favor of the host countries; in particular Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, and Syria. During the years between 1948 and 1967 the Arabs attempted to blot out Israel, with help from Russia, but were remarkably unsuccessful. Of course Iranians are not Arabs but they are Muslims and fanatical ones at that. The world was soon to learn that there is little worse than rich fanatics.
Western Civilization is in great peril but no one seems to believe this or even cares about it. The Conservative view is that this can be coped with by force if necessary, but why worry about the Arabs when some brilliant scientist will most likely solve the problem with another form of energy. There’s not really much hope of that, certainly not in the short term. The Liberal view is that the world will be better off without Western Civilization as it is at the root of all that is wrong in the world. A more conceited, arrogant view of life is difficult to conceive.
Without Israel it is more than likely that the oil rich Middle Eastern nations ( invented by Britain, France, and the US) would have developed along Western lines with Islam still being the basis of their political systems; but probably not Wahabbi Islam. The Soviet Union manipulated their client states and incited their attempts at eliminating Israel as part of the plan to push the US around during the Cold War. The problem became one of weapons, dictators, and totalitarian states with the industrialized west’s money going to the Soviet Union to pay for military hardware and training. It could only be this way because the US supported Israel as for a time did the Europeans. That has changed leaving only the US supporting Israel.
At this moment the Iranians and Syrians, through their clients Hamas and Hezbollah, feel strong enough to start a war that no one will be able to control. Some very hard times are coming; economically, physically, and possibly the use of nuclear weapons. Get ready.

A Conservative Court
I guess the Liberals fear that the Supreme Court was becoming too Conservative can be put to rest. The recent Court decision that terrorists and combatants without uniforms must be accorded the rights guaranteed under the Geneva Convention Treaty. This is patently absurd as the treaty specifically excludes these types of combatants. It is one more sign that the Liberals cannot be trusted with protecting the nation. This is not surprising as they don’t subscribe to the notion of nationhood.
In a back-handed way though the decision is an opportunity, these prisoners can be held until the war’s end and can then be repatriated to their homelands. No need for trials, they can be employed productively, they must be paid whatever money their contract with their “army” was, and they don’t have to be tried; though they can be. This means no more controversy about holding prisoners indefinitely, without a charge. The charge has been made by the US Supreme Court: they are prisoners of war.
The Bush Administration should simply announce that no further prisoner releases are possible as the war is continuing. Everyone can go home when it’s over. It has even been suggested that any captured US soldiers now have a better chance of survival due to this Court action. Their chances have now been upgraded from none to slim.
The MoveOn.Org crowd dominates the Democrat Party and as such has condemned them to absence from power. They will continue in the minority until they get in step with the majority. Most Americans only want to work, raise a family, and enjoy leisure time and to do so safely within normal limits. These limits do not include encouraging terrorists to murder them. Life being fragile needs some reasonable form of protection. This goes way beyond the fat police, the political correctness squads, the seat-belters, and the myriad of other do gooders. The government’s main and real job is to guarantee the life of the nation.

Here Come the Missiles
I guess the ultra left wing thinkers around the world are celebrating the launch of seven missiles by one of their idols Kim Jung Il II. That great beneficiary of the North Korean people, a communist, and a terrorist is one of the darlings of the left. Why is this? Why do the Michael Moore, Susan Sarandon, Nancy Pelosi, types so admire this kind of government? Let Castro put journalists in prison for 75 years and there is not a peep from the left. Let George Bush follow-up on the Clinton doctrine of regime change in Iraq and they go crazy.
The Democrats heap praise on Hugo Chavez as he ruins Venezuela and castigate George Bush as he protects them and every other citizen of the USA. The Europeans dilly-dally with Iran while the Iranians mock them. China and India are the world’s worst polluters yet the left constantly and persistently blame the USA for all the world’s problems. What would happen if Greenpeace re-located its headquarters to Shanghai or Mumbai?
Would criticism of the government’s policy of the Peoples Republic of China be accepted with aplomb? It is more than likely that such critics would be imprisoned or banished. India, being a democracy, would be different but not much. Unless the critics were Hindu it is within reason that might be assassinated. Much the same could be expected in Iran if the critics are not Muslim; or even if they are.
Members of the ultra left wing arrogantly assert that they are working to save the world and thus have no reason to be concerned about the United States; the place where they live, prosper, and are protected from harm. The freedoms available in the USA make it a very desirable place to live. These people are very insecure because their fellow citizens discount them for the most part. They must take their concerns to Europe where their ideas have currency only because the Europeans have forgotten who won their freedom for them. Gratitude is nearly always replaced by anger.
Now the world’s nations must unite because unlike the Iranians the North Koreans are led by an insane dictator who really might launch a nuclear attack. Radiation and explosions don’t know which part of the political spectrum is being destroyed.
