True Honor

Last week due to record snow fall Washington DC shut down every federal office. Every city office closed for ten day, but a group of men who understand duty saw to it that they did not abandon their charge.

Tea Party Birthday Party

One year ago we all gathered to say something to our leaders… Enough!! Enough on the new taxes. Enough on the takeover of banks, car makers, health care and our daily lives. Enough!

Today we want to be sure our leaders know we are still out there we are still watching and we are waiting go get out the vote this November. On a cool rainy Saturday afternoon about 200 of us shared this message with the people of Seattle.

California, Beauty, and Gay Rights

Another California beauty queen has spoken up against Gay marriage and California politicians  decry the lack of tolerance by showing the full force of their own intolerance for diverse opinions.

"The City of Beverly Hills today denounced statements made by Miss California USA contestant Lauren Ashley, the self-described Miss Beverly Hills. Ms. Ashley resides in Pasadena and is currently a contestant for the Miss California USA title. She does not represent Beverly Hills in any capacity," the city said in a news release issued Wednesday. "The City of Beverly Hills strongly condemns Ms. Ashley's recent statements and has contacted pageant officials to determine ways to formally prevent any beauty contestants claiming the title of Miss Beverly Hills in the future."

"I believe in the rights of the individual and their personal beliefs, and I believe in tolerance and respect for all sides of the issues," {State pageant director Keith} Lewis said on Wednesday. "I hope Beverly Hills exercises the same inclusion."

Best Ideal Yet

So it seems someone (Trust For Public Lands) wants to by the land around the famous HOLLYWOOD sign to protect it from developers. They have $6,000,000.00 and got the option to buy it for $12,000,000.00 and have till April to raise the rest. On Thursday they plan to cover the letters to read "Save the Peak." for a day.

(Will) Rogers said he's confident it can raise the rest before the option expires in mid-April. If not, it goes back on the market.

There's always a concern when you have a deadline," Rogers said. "I'm optimistic, but there's always that chance."

Local Police have sent notices to residents.

According to the Times, the LAPD issued the e-mail so the department does "not receive phone calls from worried citizens.”

I however like the ideal proposed in an anonymous comment best

It should be replaced with a George W. Bush "Miss Me Yet?" Billboard!

that they are not “anti-Jew” just “anti-Zionist” are really saying they are not “anti-the right kind of Jew”

Its For the Children

The Left demands that we not fight their agenda because it is for the Children, but this is what they want for your child.

The report demands that children 10 and older be given a "comprehensive sexuality education" by governments, aid organizations and other groups, and that young people (children) should be seen as "sexual beings."

What could be the rational for such madness?

Ed Mechmann, spokesman for New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan, charged that Planned Parenthood was "trying to teach children sex without values and that sex is a matter of pleasure and done without consequences."

“Free Love” The failed liberation of human sexuality that resulted in torn lives and broken families. Children being raised by grandparents, mothers putting children at risk to have a hook ups with strangers, men who see woman only as the next hot little thing. Yes I know these are the extremes but they will not be if this kind of thing is not stopped.

Sex is an expression of  our deepest emotions, even the Free Love kind does not truly escape this reality. It is a spiritual truth undeniable in every human culture. A spiritual connection is made when people have sex. A culture that doesn’t protect that, one that that doesn’t prepare their children for that reality, will fail in a generation. Europe is on that path and America’s left is ignoring these lessons. The Summer of Love ended but the desire of those who promoted it, who used it to weaken the pillars of American society, never stopped they just quietly worked in the background to achieve the same ends. We push back but their march is relentless. We win here they move there, they change the language, they claim the high ground with words like “choice” and “rights” but in reality (as witnessed by the reaction to the Tebow Supper Bowl ad this weekend) these are just words used to shut up the opposition. Your Children are at risk. Our freedoms are at risk. Only a moral people can keep a republic like ours.

In the 70s the mantra I often heard was “you can't legislate morality” this was used to change the American mindset, people who honored fidelity in marriage were now quaint. People who had affair were just “following their heart” people who made bad decisions in life were protected from the consequences of those decisions and were then free to continue the same destructive behaviors. All the while a new morality was being legislated bit by bit to the point where you can not stand against sin nor for God without risking law suits, fines, or even jail. If you do stand you risk being shouted down or you could (California’s Prop 8) even be risking your livelihood. They demand little concessions and when any objection is raised they will dismiss them has an exaggeration then they demand more until they reach a line where they can say that something 30 years ago they claimed they didn’t want is now a right that is a hate crime to deny. The sexualizing of our children is another step in one of these little concessions, a right that parents can not object to.

For We Not Thee

When the left says they celebrate Free Speech this is what they mean.

Many of the disrupters were echoing the words of the Muslim Student Union, a group with a long history of support for the indiscriminate killing of civilians thru the use of un-aimed missiles and deliberate bombings of busses and restaurants. A group that see no problem with “warriors” who hide in schools and mosque to fire their missiles and store their bombs and then cry to the UN when those schools and mosque are damaged. And do not forget it was Hamas who started last years war.

Gaming War

Three universities did “War games” over the Iran Nuke issue and Iran won all three.

The games provide several insights into why the Iranian nuclear problem is so intractable and how it might develop in the near to mid term. Iran "won" the games at least in part because it had a strong hand, coherent strategy, clear goals, and determined leadership. In contrast, it faced an array of opponents who were divided on objectives and strategies and who exhibited uncertain, if not vacillating, leadership. Among these opponents, only Israel was willing to use military force, while the United States appeared to play its hand weakly in all three simulations.

The thing that I noticed most was that only one of theses actually involved “war” and even there the U.S. only acted in a limited way. In essence their conclusions were the same as mine, only decisive forceful action will change the reality on the ground.

First, the United States must "play" differently in the coming months than the participants who represented it in these simulations. Current U.S. policy seemed to fail in each game, leaving the situation worse in several dimensions: Iran was undeterred (even strengthened), relations with Israel were in crisis, and international support was lacking. Accordingly, the United States and others must conceive and develop new, more robust initiatives (e.g., strong support for regime change).

Second, the United States must plan for military action, either by itself, with others, or in the wake of unilateral Israeli strikes.

(snip)

Third, the results of these games are likely disturbing for Israel, indicating that its leaders should prepare both diplomatically and militarily to go it alone. A decision to strike could be the most fateful since the state's founding. Israel needs to ready its military not just for a raid or operation, but also for an extended war on multiple fronts and deep within the homeland.

In other words, there are no good solutions.
