Obama Tightens Control Of The Media Without A Peep?

Be Careful--I Read Your Stuff!

What would you think of a Republican Prez who ordered his cops to monitor journalists’ social network sites, tweets and for all I know, emails? (The email is just my guess.) Brings back Tricky Dick Nixon, right? And how do you think the newsfolk would react to the spying when they discovered it? That Prez’s [...]

Blog Trolls…or Mercenaries?

Sep 1

Posted by

This morning, I was perusing the writings on American Thinker and came upon the entry “Major Study Links Suicide and Other Mental Health Problems to Abortion” by Mary Davenport, a very pro-life OB/Gyn. Dr. Davenport reports that the Coleman Report, as it is known, a breath-takingly huge study in scope and duration, presents evidence – [...]

The Best Deal We Could Get

Aug 3

Posted by

Now that the dust is settling, the Republican leaders are saying this is the best deal they could get. The best deal because they only had control of a third of the government. The best deal they have gotten in twenty years. The best deal where they got two thirds of the cuts they wanted [...]

TEA Party Dilemma

Gadsen Flag 1-03

This gallery contains 3 photos.

Here we are the day after a historic and more than a little potentially disastrous government finance deal in Congress. In the entire fiasco, the TEA Party took it on the chin from the political establishment. Seriously. The sad thing is, from a broad perspective, the TEA Party is the one faction in American politics [...]

Is Google Liberal? Google It!

THE POLITICS OF THE WORLD’S SEARCH ENGINE

Google it. 34,000 times per second. 2 million per minute. 121 million per hour. 3 billion per day. 88 billion per month. What on earth would the world do without Google?

We’d use other search engines, of course. While multiple alternatives exist, it never even crosses most of our minds to use them. Here’s something else that never crosses most of our minds: How – and why – does Google generate the results it generates? Read the rest of this entry →

Globalrev, the First Amendment and, the Switch

Feb 20

Posted by

Have you heard the term Globalrev yet?  You may want to acclimate yourself with the term because, it seems like every time I look up, there’s another country in the throes of making some equality for those on the bottom.  Personally, I thought it was going to start with one of the P.I.I.G.S. countries (I [...]

The Palin Follies

Nov 20

Posted by

It looks like people want to see more about Sarah Palin’s personal life. Unfortunately the scandal du jour involves her daughters being baited into an inflammatory Facebook dialogue in which they act like…teens! TMZ is trying to characterize this as homophobia. If you visit their site beware that it tries to take over your browser (go there now). The facebook dialogue sounds so much like a couple of girls from up here in the Rockies that I can barely detect anything but typical teenageness (yep, I made that word up–feel free to use it!).

No, America, Bristol and Willow are not ready to be media consultants. They are ready to go to school. Sadly the kids of a politician are always enrolled in the school of hard knocks when their parent submits a candidate filing.

Constitutionality, Christianity, Progressivism And The Captive Poor

Sep 20

Posted by

I wrote this in an email the other day and everyone told me to publish it, so here it is with very minimal editing.

We, the people, must recognize that our two major parties have been co-opted at their highest levels. They no longer prove themselves to support the Constitution. Instead they advance agendas that should deeply concern anyone who understands what our constitution says and why.

John Adams once said, “Our constitution is only fit for a moral and religious people. It is wholly unsuited to the governance of any other kind” because the Constitution contained no controls over those who would reject morality and decency in favor of hedonism and self-indulgence. It also contains no controls, talis qualis, that are, or ever would be, strong enough to defeat progressivism which seeks to ignore it (or for that matter Sharia law which would supplant it). Only the vigilance of a stubborn and well-informed citizenry can do that!

Sex Education, Social Engineering, Progressive Politics And The Rainbow Agenda

Sep 17

Posted by

I personally home schooled my daughter through 7th grade and my son through 6th. She is positioned to be the valedictorian of her school next year and hopes to go into law or medicine. As an 11th grader, she claims to be the ONLY virgin she knows of in her entire high school (of over 1000 students). Her 8th grade brother is an honor student taking both regular and advanced classes despite profound dyslexia. He, too, is proud to be a virgin. Referring to his classmates, he says “most of them” are sexually active. What difference did an abstinence-based (home schooling) curriculum make in their lives? I believe it made all the difference! By far the best place to give children a healthy understanding of the proper role of sex in their lives is in their own homes.

Free Speech, Hate Crimes, Bold Truth and Cunning Lies

Sep 8

Posted by

WARNING AND DISCLAIMER: This post may make some people angry. The thoughts and comments expressed are mine alone and do not necessarily reflect the consensus opinion at ConstitutionClub.org.

Today USA Today ran, “Is burning Quran a hate crime or a free speech issue?” When Terry Jones’s church decided to burn the Koran, I believe they felt moved to express a bold truth. On the other hand, by “protecting” the Judeo-Christian Bible (even as it denounces, denies and contradicts it), Islam institutionally propagates the craftiest of deceptions. In Eden, the serpent, being more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made, said, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?” Did he actually lie? No, he manipulated and deceived Adam and Eve into believing a tiny falsehood about God: That God was withholding his best from them. The Enemy planted and cultivated a subtle fear, feeding the tiniest bit of pride by asking an inflammatory question.

Going further, the successful deceiver next indoctrinates the deceived using a succession of increasingly outlandish lies. This was perhaps best noted by Adolph Hitler who said, “By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.” This progression leads to the downfall of nations, cultures and societies. It tends to accelerate most under powerfully charismatic people appealing to our selfish natures. This may be physical gratification, our personal rights, greed, justice, and self-righteousness. It decelerates under successful messages encouraging self-sacrifice and unconditional love.

Article Roundup for July 8, 2010

Jul 8

Posted by

It’s been a while since I’ve had the energy and time to give a news roundup, so I apologize in advance for the slowness.

Orange Devolution – By Brian Phillips, Slate Magazine. What is Phillips thinking? Though I’m rooting for Spain out of filial loyalty, it strikes me as strange for a writer of Phillips’ esteem to have his readers root against the Orangemen simply to satisfy his lust for spectacular playing rather than winning. What makes this particular World Cup final very interesting is that Spain and the Netherlands have never faced each other before at this level. In fact, the last time the Dutch and Spaniards had anything to do with a pitch, the results were rather messy.

part 1, the new dial tone

Oct 22

Posted by

Great video from my friends at Nice Fish Films, who documented a day at the recent Blogworld expo in Las Vegas. As bloggers, we are at the forefront of this change and should adopt many of these strategies to promote and circulate our ideas.   Chris Brogan, author of the great book Trust Agents refers to  social media as “the new dial tone”.

“Who we  thought were disrupters  are now becoming mainstream”

The Cyberwar in Iran

Jun 16

How Iran’s Hackers Killed Big Brother – Page 1 – The Daily Beast .

Tehran’s streets may be bloody, says Douglas Rushkoff, but the opposition has won the digital war. The battleground: Facebook and Twitter. The weapons: bandwidth and hacking. The prize: the end of totalitarianism.

I am not sure that one can describe this as the end of totalitarianism, as we know that the electoral choices involved here basically break down to the lesser of two evils.  But it does speak to  a newly discovered power of the people, the right to be heard.

Twitter, for all its faults, and the Internet, for all its insubstantiality, nonetheless serve as the strands of an existential telegraph. By resisting those who would censor history in real time, those flinging messages into the ether are demonstrating their freedom of speech—or, rather, their freedom to speak in spite of all efforts to the contrary. This mere gesture of freedom—the ability to connect to others and confirm one’s experience of the world—is what social networking is all about. While this may or may not be enough right now to topple an unjust government, the opposition, in demonstrating that this freedom is now a permanent right, has already claimed victory.
