Our adversaries adopt not only Mao’s social agenda, but also his political manifesto that politics is war without bloodshed. Christian’s should accept this declaration of war by implementing the scholarly, moral equivalent of the commandment “Thou shalt not kill”, which correctly means thou shall not commit first degree murder. St. John the Baptist did not require the soldiers to abandon their profession for salvation. Christians must persevere in a brutality of political combat corresponding to the brutality of military combat for which so many Christians have volunteered.

Recently, MIT researchers prophesied weak ocean mitigation of carbon dioxide (CO2), which is claimed as the major source of global warming. However, atmospheric CO2 represents less than one particle for 10,000, making finding Waldo in a puzzle more likely. Water vapor that CO2 bonds with (think of carbonated water) is 25 times more plentiful in the atmosphere, and 2.5 million times more plentiful in oceans. When a single hurricane uses enough energy to power Japan for a year, how can weather have minimal influence on CO2 reduction, which also has minimal atmospheric presence?

Contrary to George Will’s assertion, this country must follow through on its Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) obligations. The (SOFA) portends counterinsurgency warfare victory. Iraq and U.S. as two sovereign, and coequal countries agreed on ways forward implementing U.N. principles and purposes. Iraqi pragmatic evaluations of conditions lead talks for disengagement: not U.S. election cycle driven timelines.

In Iraq, U.S. earned credibility as a counter force to horrid factions applying murderous coercion when striving to dominate African, Oriental, and Asian politics. Potential allies are well acquainted with our affection for debating foreign policy models until national interests vanish within new meanings for necessity,...

The “Long War” began with Eleanor Roosevelt’s 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Cold War victory promoting human rights preceded our country’s realization on 9/11 there was also a war of terror enslaving people worldwide. Our heritage demands prosecuting this thoroughly winnable and valuable war in Afghanistan.

Victory means applying counterinsurgency warfare principles; consistently productive when not politically subverted here or at the U.N. Counterinsurgency warfare receives scant attention for being low tech (patrol, patrol, patrol), labor intensive (daily face to face with locals by social, economic, and military people), and unspectacular.

Unspectacular means possessing little political or media value....

The “Long War” began with Eleanor Roosevelt’s 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Cold War victory for human rights preceded this country’s realization on 9/11 there was also a war of terror enslaving people worldwide.

Victory now means applying principles of counterinsurgency warfare; consistently productive when not politically subverted here or at the U.N. Counterinsurgency warfare receives scant attention for being low tech (patrol, patrol, patrol), labor intensive (daily face to face with locals by social, economic, and military people), and unspectacular.

Unspectacular means possessing little political or media value. Murderous attacks decrease. Non-violent political friction increases. Some tribal...

“vonryansexpress” has got it right. Not only Harry Reid, but most of the Democrat party should resign for their consistent denigration of blacks.

However, supposedly Reid should resign because Trent Lott had to resign. The Republicans should have had enough guts to tell Medved, the Democrats and the media to stuff it. As a counter to PC Republicans, there seem to be too few others then and now to form a powerful coalition.

In Lott’s case only a few cursory shots were needed to activate the existing power structure against him. Probably he was not one of them and this event served their purpose. The next presidential campaign and the treatment of Sarah Palin provide supporting evidence.

To this day we can depend...

Greg Lewis in American Thinker presents an uncharitable picture of Obama etal as displaying classic beta male behavior. The alpha male dog approaches directly, while the beta male displays acquiescent gestures signaling uncompromising submission. Lewis sees submissiveness in offering conciliatory gestures to Sudanese leader Omar Hassan al-Bashir, in sending John Kerry to meet Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad, in bowing to King Abdullah, in airy discussions with Hugo Chavez and David Ortega, and in generally ridiculing U.S. past actions whenever he appears on an international stage.

Of course these actions are constructive within the worldview continually vetted by liberal constituencies and confirmed with the Nobel Peace...

Now this is just like a shell game. You place the pre-existing condition act on the table and cover it. Switch the cups around and when the patient points to a cup you lift it. Under the cup is not protection promised by the act as they expect, but the set of regulations defining them as socially unworthy of receiving the advanced medical treatment needed to treat the condition. Therefore, the government wins by vastly increasing control over peoples’ lives and the insurance industry can be drawn in by a promise they really won’t have to pay off that often.
