James W. von Brunn is a socialist!

After James W. von Brunn murdered a security guard at the holocaust museum the news media predictably began calling the man a "right winger." In reality if you look at the man's writings, the man is a leftist socialist! of course the left wing media refuses to admit that Hitler and the Nazis were also socialists.

This may be the reason I see many similarities between Hitler's rise in Germany and Obama's rise here...

Our first neo-Marxist president?

The latest Larry Elder column is here: http://www.jewishworldreview.com/cols/elder052109.php3

A particularly interesting excerpt follows

Our first neo-Marxist president?

By Larry Elder

...

In the early 1900s, a businessman, Carl Fisher, owned the Prest-O-Lite headlight company. He organized an association to finance coast-to-coast paved roads so that motorists could drive both day and night, ideally using his headlights. The association soon disbanded, when Congress passed the Federal Road Aid Act of 1916. What would have happened had government not built an interstate highway system? A consortium of truckers/gas stations/hotels/motels/roadside restaurants would likely have built one with their own money in order to make more money. They would have charged tolls for maintenance. Motorists actually using the roads would bear their costs.

Private business built the first leg of the New York subway system. And it made money — at least before local government used taxpayer money to build competing systems and undercut the fare charged by the private operator. Tax dollars hid the true cost, allowing the city-owned service to charge less. Ultimately, the private operators sold out to the city.

Did Eisenhower have the constitutional authority to build the interstate highway system? Yes, but not to improve economic development — and he knew it. In fact, the official name of the interstate highways is the Dwight D. Eisenhower National System of Interstate and Defense Highways. Ike argued that the country needed paved highways to move missiles around to protect the country. From a military standpoint, the argument was dubious. Missiles could be launched from fixed positions, as technology continually increased range, speed, accuracy and power.

This is a highly recommended article!

Andrew McCarthy's letter to AG Eric Holder

Andrew McCarthy's letter to AG Eric Holder. Great reading!

Dear Attorney General Holder:

This letter is respectfully submitted to inform you that I must decline the invitation to participate in the May 4 roundtable meeting the President’s Task Force on Detention Policy is convening with current and former prosecutors involved in international terrorism cases. An invitation was extended to me by trial lawyers from the Counterterrorism Section, who are members of the Task Force, which you are leading.

Rookie President

Thomas Sowell's latest here: http://www.jewishworldreview.com/cols/sowell033109.php3

Here's are some exerpts:

Barack Obama is a rookie in a sense that few other Presidents in American history have ever been. It is not just that he has never been President before. He has never had any position of major executive responsibility in any kind of organization where he was personally responsible for the outcome.

Other first-term Presidents have been governors, generals, cabinet members or others in positions of personal responsibility. A few have been senators, like Barack Obama, but usually for longer than Obama, and had not spent half their few years in the senate running for President.

...

What did his televised overture to the Iranians accomplish, except to reassure them that he was not going to do a damn thing to stop them from getting a nuclear bomb? It is a mistake that can go ringing down the corridors of history.

Future generations who live in the shadow of that nuclear threat may wonder what we were thinking about, putting our lives-- and theirs-- in the hands of a rookie because we liked his style and symbolism?

Dear A.I.G., I Quit!

One of the $1 a year employees at AIG sends his resignation letter. He's angry, and he has every right to be angry!

I take this action after 11 years of dedicated, honorable service to A.I.G. I can no longer effectively perform my duties in this dysfunctional environment, nor am I being paid to do so. Like you, I was asked to work for an annual salary of $1, and I agreed out of a sense of duty to the company and to the public officials who have come to its aid. Having now been let down by both, I can no longer justify spending 10, 12, 14 hours a day away from my family for the benefit of those who have let me down.

The American Spectator: Osama Bin Elvis

This is an interesting article. My impression is that the author dismisses Osama Bin Ladin as innocent of the 9-11 attack and that he was probably murdered to prevent the U.S. from capturing and interrogating him. He suggests the attack, though it was conducted by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, originated in Iraq!

Check it out at the The American Spectator here: http://spectator.org/archives/2009/03/13/osama-bin-elvis/print

No, Antarctica is not warming!

Once again environmentalists are being dishonest. Gee who would have thunk it? A recent study claimed to show that the Antarctic is indeed warming. I carefully read the article concerning the study and noticed that it was only explaining away the evidence that Antarctica is in fact cooling. My skeptical antennae went up. Now I read this article (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/4332784/Despite-the-hot-air-the-Antarctic-is-not-warming-up.html) that cites numerous scientists who also have problems with the study, especially since some of the parties involved have, to put it nicely, tweaked their data in the past to make it fit their foregone conclusions.

We are seeing more and more evidence of cooling so why is the global warming crowd getting louder? Follow the money! Follow the money. They are about to loose it all, their grants, their reputation, and hopefully, their political clout!

New York Times is dishonest? Really?!

The New York Times has been dishonestly portraying veterans as more likely to commit murders, yet the actual numbers are 28 murders committed per 100,000 people in the general population but only 8 murders committed per 100,000 veterans. Ann Coulter wrote a great article about this and the real cause of crime, single motherhood. Read it at http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=30285 here's an exerpt:

Murder Spree by People Who Refuse to Ask For Directions

by Ann Coulter

01/14/2009

A 1990 study by the left-wing Progressive Policy Institute showed that, after controlling for single motherhood, the difference in black and white crime disappeared.

It's an amazing article.

I just finished reinstalling all my programs on my phone. Why? I had to do a hard reset to factory conditions to get rid of a program that just wouldn't uninstall! I should have seen the problem coming when the rogue program had to reset my phone to complete the install. No program has ever done this before on my Pocket PC Windows 6 based phone.

When the program wouldn't even see my music files, (it was a music player) yet saw every other file on both the phone and memory card, I attempted to remove it. It wouldn't leave! I did a clean install to see if I could get it to uninstall, and now there were two. Deleting the files by hand left icons in my program list. So I went to the program's web site and carefully followed the uninstall directions. The result? Three icons in my program list! Now this is not some unknown program. I've used it on my Palm Pilot for music. I have it on my desktop and laptop for video. The program? RealPlayer Mobile for cat's sake! And of course there is no support for Real's free programs. What a crock of you know what!

So here's the drill do a hard reset, resync with the pc (which has renamed the phone and won't let me change it), reinstall all the programs I've put on there that I still want on there, including a different music program (s2p), which, since I can't find the setting, probably won't turn off the backlight, so I'm stuck with the old one, PocketMusic, I was using and no longer like, or Windows Media Player, which also doesn't turn off the backlight, or Pocket Player which I like but is a commercial product that I have to pay for.

You know this kind of sucks...
