  • Jumping on a meme without full information

    Via Gateway Pundit, apparently the video I linked to below was three years old and the communist bastard is a high school teacher named Ron Gochez who was speaking at a La Raza rally in 2007. This information actually is more frightening that having a college professor spouting this crap.  He’s getting his ideological hooks… Continue reading

  • Advocating for the Re-Conquista–UCLA Professor

    On the heels of the Cinco de Mayo/people forgetting they live in the United States, not Mexico problem in California (see Mr B’s postings here and here and his related post here –also see Brigid’s fantastic post on the subject here) there comes another story out of California via Gateway Pundit detailing how a UCLA… Continue reading

  • Jan Brewer–Kickin' Ass!

    In response to Obama’s obvious distaste for someone else stepping up to do the job that the federal government won’t PLUS his flippant remarks about the situation (interesting what he says when he goes off teleprompter or is trying to be “funny”), Jan Brewer, the Governor of Arizona, has decided to fight back with this… Continue reading

  • Zombie Awareness Month

    There have probably been countless posting on this, but May is ‘officially’ Zombie Awareness Month.  Are you prepared in case zombies attack?? Continue reading

  • Neighbors turning in neighbors….

    …not to the secret police, but to the next most powerful force in the United States, the IRS.  And it’s not just for the big fish–those with a supposed tax liability of over $2 million, but the smaller fish as well.  They’ve got so many since the enactment of a 2006 law that lets the… Continue reading

  • Two steps forward, one step back…..

    And in the bluest of blue states (Massachusetts) where it looked like, for just a few precious months, people were actually developing some sense, some idiocy via their state Supreme Court.  Some background:  In 2002 the people of the Commonwealth voted to end bilingual education and to ensure that English teachers should be fluent in…… Continue reading

  • WTF?? Where's the flipside of cultural sensitivity??

    So a couple of kids wore shirts with the American flag on them to school yesterday  (ht. Middle of the Right-Mr. B).  It was the Cinco de Mayo, and many places in the United States celebrated ‘Mexican Heritage Day’ (as one news commentator snarkily noted yesterday, this is a bigger celebration in the US than… Continue reading

  • The Twilight Zone Writ Large

    Bookworm has a thought-provoking post over at her place.  She talks about the Twilight Zone episode where the omnipotent/omniscient boy takes over a town.  The horror of the story is that the residents are forced to agree with everything the boy says and does or face terrible personal and social consequences.  Ultimately the town is… Continue reading

  • WTF?? Why is the Obama Administration trying to take down an ally??

    Via Bookworm at Bookworm Room, a most disturbing report on how the Obama administration is OPENLY trying to bring down the Netanyahu government and replace it with one headed by opposition leader Livni.  Now, correct me if I’m wrong, but for the past several decades, the United States has made it a mission to bolster… Continue reading

  • The Boston situation–being prepared is easier than people think…

    A couple of bloggers have postings about being prepared in an emergency or in the case of a disruption of services…  see Mr. B’s post here and Tam’s post here.  Having lived in Boston for a couple of years, I know that being prepared is a relatively easy thing to do, even in the city. … Continue reading
