"You are Being Deceived"

The sky is not falling; the Earth has been cooling for ten years, without help. The present cooling was NOT predicted by the alarmists' computer models, and has come as an embarrassment to them.

PJ O'Rourke: Why Politicians Love Trains, Hate Cars

Politics itself is nothing more than an attempt to achieve power and prestige without merit. That's the definition of politics.

What Does the McCain Campaign Infighting Say About Our Political Leadership?

What Does the McCain Campaign Infighting Say About Our Political Leadership?

The truth is, we all need to look in the mirror and ask: How did we reach this state of affairs? Our political class – elected officials, aides, operatives, journalists - often leads us in new directions, but it also reflects society at large. How much value do people in general now place on traditional notions of integrity, honor, fair play, personal responsibility? Like our political class, many of us can be quick to point fingers at our parents, bosses, leaders, etc. for mistakes. Don’t get me wrong: millions of Americans are hard-working, honorable folks who take personal responsibility very seriously; but are they swimming against the tide? On balance, voters have not been rewarding politicians who have prioritized values such as fiscal conservatism and limited government, which go hand-in-hand with taking responsibility for one’s own actions. If anything, constituents have tended to demand more of the cradle-to-grave nanny state policies that provide short-term benefits to constituent groups but over time erode traditional individualistic values throughout society. It will take a sea change in society for that to change. Playing the blame game and pointing fingers will get us nowhere.

The role of the Honduran military

The role of the Honduran military

A short note here about the role of Honduras' military in the removal from office and exile to Costa Rica of President Mel Zelaya. I am dismayed at the reaction of the White House and Foggy Bottom - that they would be so quick to condemn the defense of democracy in Honduras by its military and so slow to attack the destruction of democracy in Iran by its paramilitary can only be indicative of a shallowness of understanding of foreign affairs by the administration.
