Pride

The Family Guy has written an excellent post on his pride as an American

How sad it would be to have a First Lady who is not proud of our nation….  

Western Press Refuses to Credit Bush for African Achievements

Irish rocker Bob Geldof: Western Press Refuses to Credit Bush for African Achievements.  Geldof says Bush has done “more than any other president so far.”

The Bush hatred promulgated by the left in this country is childish and ridiculous. We can’t even admit when the man has made a significant achievement.

Your guy lost in 2000 and again in 2004. Bush is not running for President in 2008, nor is Cheney. Get over it already.

I bet I’ll get banned from Google for this, but…

As I may have alluded before, I don’t like Google.  I don’t use Google.  It is not installed on my computer.  I use Yahoo.  Why?

Google uses their search engine to promote their liberal political agenda.  Does anyone else remember how you would land at a George W. Bush bio page when you typed “failure” into Google’s search box and then clicked I’m Feeling Lucky?  (They have now changed that result, but I haven’t forgotten, and neither should you.)

Or how about google.cnGoogle agreed to censor their search results to keep people in China from finding out about stuff their government doesn’t want them to see. 

And here’s the latest:

“…beginning Feb. 13, Google News users could no longer find new stories from the Inner City Press.”  Why?  The blog is critical of the United Nations.  Google likes the United Nations.  So, no more blog.

Look, I use a search engine because I want to find out information.  I don’t need Google to be my nanny and neither do you.  And I will not support Google or their advertisers as long as they continue these policies.

NYT goes after fluorescent bulbs

An editorial in today’s New York Times criticizes fluorescent bulbs.  They go after them from the mercury angle.  I still have yet to see anyone else mention the fact that exposure to fluorescent light can be dangerous for people with autoimmune and other disorders.  But if there is hope that the stupid law requiring these bulbs by 2014 will be overturned, I’ll take what I can get.

Something to bear in mind

“Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.”


Matthew 5:11

Another reason Al Qaeda should be stamped out utterly…

Really cool discovery

Hitler is Hitler

I read yet another George-Bush-is-Hitler allusion this morning.

Hitler is responsible for the murder of an estimated 6 million human beings. Reckless comparisons like this desensitize us to the true nature of Hitler’s atrocities and reveal an appalling lack of knowledge about the true nature of the Holocaust.

Poet and philosopher George Santayana said, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” With that going through my mind, I ran across this article (snipped and linked here):

Press conference by Jewish Agency reveals startling rise in anti-Semitic incidents across the world in 2006, including two murders. Austria sees 66 percent rise in incidents, Germany sees 60 percent rise, Russian incidents up by 20 percent

People, please: the Bush-is-Hitler comparison is uninformed at best, and dangerous at worst. Enough already.

New term

warm-monger:  a term referring to the fanaticism displayed by those preaching gloom and doom if we don’t immediately stop burning fossil fuels.

And now for something completely different….
