John Kerry and his Cambodian lie - why it is important John Kerry and his Cambodian lie reveals a dishonest man who will show weakness in the face of terrorism that would surely invite even more terrorism. Without a doubt, he is a very dangerous and very stupid man
John Kerry and the Bruce Springsteen cavalcade of hatred Bruce Springsteen, the John Kerry groupie, is a moral poseur who gets his jollies from making sympathetic noises about the poor while raking in millions of dollars by politicizing his music
The Washing Post slants tax report to favour John Kerry The dirty little secret that the Democrats' bigwigs and their media enablers keep from the public is that the party's super rich friends like Soros, Heinz Kerry, Buffet, etc., would not be affected by the Democrats' tax grab because the party would leave open the sort of tax loopholes that only the super rich can exploit
John Kerry has his vet pal slime the Swift Boat Veterans Perhaps the bottom line here is that Rassman's article reads as if it was taken from one of Beth Cahill's media releases. And that reminds me: if anyone gets involved in the Kerry campaign they are likely to end up lying next to Cahill, 'Mad Dog' Carville and Bully Boy Davis staring up at the sewer
Globalism and living standards Paul Craig Roberts argues globalism is lowering living standards. Is he Right?
Michael Moore slimes Cuban-Americans to curry favour with Castro To please Castro the cowardly Michael Moore smeared American Cubans as terrorists, gangsters, dope smugglers, burglars, and wimps
The Democrats' running theme One can't help but note the running themes of the Democrats: a penchant for relational dysfunction that plays itself out in hackneyed scripts of sexual domination, an inability to grasp base concepts of adult responsibility, and a disregard of fundamental tenets of national security

"What is liberalism all about?: Regardless of whether the particular issue is race, agriculture, housing, or a thousand other things, liberalism is about the government telling people what to do in their lives and work.... It has been said that knowledge is power but, politically, power trumps knowledge. When government agencies like the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or the courts take statistical differences in the "representation' of various ethnic groups in an employer's work force as evidence of discrimination, they don't have to prove their belief to anyone. They have the power. Employers have to try to prove their innocence to them. When the people who run our schools and teachers colleges prefer the "whole language' and "whole math' approaches to teaching English and mathematics, it doesn't matter how many studies show that these approaches don't work. The education establishment has the power and power trumps knowledge".

Leftists afraid to be themselves: "John Passacantando, the executive director of Greenpeace USA, believes in confrontation. A prot,g, of Mike Roselle, co-founder of the radical environmentalist group Earth First, he's led Greenpeace to push the limits of civil disobedience..... So one might expect Passacantando to be thrilled by the prospect of bad behavior, and a lot of it, at the Republican National Convention late this month. Tens if not hundreds of thousands are planning to take to Manhattan's streets in protest, and plans are being hatched for widespread disruption.... But Passacantando isn't happy about what's about to happen in New York. In fact, he's terrified. Like a host of intellectuals, '60s veterans and activists desperate for a John Kerry victory in November, Passacantando worries that the delicious, so-close prospect of defeating George Bush in November will be swept away in the citywide chaos that anarchists have promised to bring to New York."

Welfare as power: "Most European politicians, bureaucrats, and even intellectuals will, of course, favor the massive and now virtually bankrupt welfare state there, in part because it keeps them in power. Europe, from where I originally hail, is to all intents and purposes a politically elitist continent and, sadly, most ordinary folks put up with this because, well, bad habits are hard to shake."

Still no feminist outcry? "The Greek organizers of this summer's Olympics, which began in Athens yesterday, claim that more women athletes are competing than ever before.... According to officials in Athens, the number of Muslim women participating in this year's game is the lowest since 1960. Several Muslim countries have sent no women athletes at all; others, such as Iran, are taking part with only one, in full hijab. And state-owned TV networks in many Muslim countries, including Iran and Egypt, have received instructions to limit coverage of events featuring women athletes at Athens to a minimum.... The Khomeinist version of the hijab, invented in the 1970s and now popular in many countries, including the United States, covers a woman's entire body but allows her face and hands to be exposed. Hijab theoreticians agree on one claim: a woman's hair emanates dangerous rays that could drive men wild with sexual lust and thus undermine social peace".

"Hispanic" Maths? 2+2=5?: "The University of Arizona will be the site of a Center for the Mathematics Education of Latinos and Latinas. The National Science Foundation has awarded a $10 million grant to create the center, which will team math and education researchers at the University of Arizona with the Sunnyside and Tucson unified school districts. The goal of the five-year grant is to advance math education by developing a model that connects math instruction and learning to the cultural, social and linguistic contexts of Hispanics, UA officials said"

What a laugh! Germany wants its "warmongers" (U.S. troops) back.

There is a great spoof site about North Korea here

This site has an excellent scriptural quotation about Right and Left on it

Gary Gravett is a very kind person. He hosts a whole list of Australian conservative bloggers. He has however had technical problems recently and I for one could not get on to any of his sites for several days. Everything seems to be working again now though so here is a list of his currently active sites if you want to check them out:

Mangled Thoughts
Bizzare Science
The Yobbo
Paul & Carl
Alan Anderson
Israelly Cool
Steve Edwards Daily Slander
The House of Rats

LOL: Keith Burgess-Jackson thinks my son Joe may become a bleeding heart "liberal". Joe does however seem to be like me: A born Tory. He was the cautious type even when he was aged 2. And at 17 he already defends conservative views at his school.

Leftists acclaim "diversity" yet say "All men are equal". Figure that one out.

Why can those who claim to understand the dangers of meddling with a complex ecosystem like the natural environment, not understand that government interference with a complex system like the economy is perilous too?

The conflict between conservatives and Leftists is not usually a conflict between realists and idealists. Mostly it is a conflict between realists and people who will say anything to win applause
