5/26/2009 That Moment Taken At The Flood THAT MOMENT TAKEN AT THE FLOOD The keynote, Memorial Day, 2009, Crown Hill National Cemetery Night in any forest is more than dark; if the vegetation is thick, if the temperature is hot, and if fear grips the throat like an invisible assassin, it is black, impenetrable and possessed of a kind of claustrophobic presence that can turn a man into a hysterical, irrational creature. History—and our friends who returned—tell us that the jungles of Vietnam were just such places, spots full of invisible death and terrifying closeness where the enemy moved without sound and struck with deadly effect from the blackness. It was from the bowels of such an abyss that a battalion of Vietcong came pouring into an artillery emplacement manned by a young Hoosier Private first class, later promoted to sergeant, Sammy L.

See, it’s that Moses-parting-the-waters mentality that has blessed our kid-president ... Continue...
5/19/2009 The Fraud Of Obama's Outreach Time after time, opponent after opponent of our new president has discovered—usually to their mystifying surprise as far as I am concerned—that the guy is not only opposed to them and their particular stance on a given issue, he is so rigid, so doctrinaire and so militant that all semblance of reason is a ridiculous fraud. In point of fact, the man’s mission, well and oft-stated by him as candidate over the past two years, has been to radicalize and to socialize this Republic just as fast and just as completely as he can. To give the devil his due, he is smart enough to understand that his is, for all intents, a two year presidency. It is logically and historically clear that his recipe for the demise of private enterprise and our tradition of strength and exceptionalism are such anathema to what Americans really believe in that one they ...
