London Review of Books: "One of the Most Poisonously Judeophobic Periodicals in Western Society'
I had students in my World Politics course this semester read Mearsheimer and Walt's "The Israel Lobby." Thoughts on the experience, via Melanie Phillips, at the link: "The London Review of Bigotry."
More throughout the day at American Power.
ASB TV: Winner of ASB Mustang Ride
The legendary P-51 Mustang brought men home safely, ended a war, and every once in a while it unexpectedly changes lives.
AirShowBuzz is privileged to bring you the story of a woman whose family faced incredible hardships and the news every family fears. On a whim and prayer, she entered the Horsemen P-51 Mustang flight sweepstakes with hope and the chance of good news for her family of five.
With the click of a mouse, Pamela Pfeninger's luck changed when her name was drawn as the winner of the mustang flight. The story could end there, but it became so much more as the magical mustang once again united a thankful family and showed that sometime the P-51 can be fueled by love.
Pre-Christmas Reminder.........
T’was the month before Christmas
When all through our land,
Not a Christian was praying
Nor taking a stand.
See the PC Police had taken away,
The reason for Christmas - no one could say.
The children were told by their schools not to sing,
About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.
It might hurt people's feelings, the teachers would say
December 25th is just a ' Holiday '.
Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit
Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!
CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-pod
Something was changing, something quite odd!
Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa
In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda.
As Targets were hanging their trees upside down
At Lowe's the word Christmas - was no where to be found.
At K-Mart and Staples and Penny's and Sears
You won't hear the word Christmas; it won't touch your ears.
Inclusive, sensitive, Di-ver-si-ty
Are words that were used to intimidate me.
Now Daschle, Now Darden, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen
On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Clinton !
At the top of the Senate, there arose such a clatter
To eliminate Jesus, in all public matter.
And we spoke not a word, as they took away our faith
Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace
The true Gift of Christmas was exchanged and discarded
The reason for the season, stopped before it started.
So as you celebrate 'Winter Break' under your 'Dream Tree'
Sipping your Starbucks, listen to me.
Choose your words carefully, choose what you say
Shout MERRY CHRISTMAS , not Happy Holiday !
Please, all Christians join together and
wish everyone you meet during the holidays a
MERRY CHRISTMAS
Christ is The Reason for the Christ-mas Season!

TSA success declared!..........from Rico
Whew! That was a close one!
Just in time for the Holiday Travel season, TSA's "new" and improved [read: change] security procedures are declared a success by the likes of Joe "plugs" Biden and famed non-scientist Al "the sky is falling" Gore, both aspiring Mensa candidates.
And just think about all those open window seats!!!!!!
Thanks boys.....
Freedom from Freedom?.............from Rico
This is worth thinking about.
"In the end, more than they wanted freedom, they wanted security. They wanted a comfortable life and they lost it all - security, comfort, and freedom. When the Athenians finally wanted not to give to society but for society to give to them, when the freedom they wished for most was freedom from responsibility the Athens ceased to be free."
Edward Gibbon "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire"
