"Fear is useless, what is needed is trust."

Pondering the possibility of America being “remade” under the auspices of a Health Care Non-Vote-Deeming, I found myself thinking of St. Patrick, and the conflict between the English and the Irish; the Irish famine and the longview of God, which we cannot see or understand. Source Many in America -a distinct majority, if polls are [...]

Matt Lauer Picks & Chooses "consensus"

March 9, 2010 By

“Earlier today, I ordered America’s armed forces to strike military and security targets in Iraq. They are joined by British forces. Their mission is to attack Iraq’s nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs and its military capacity to threaten its neighbors” – President William Jefferson Clinton 12/16/98 Karl Rove and Matt Lauer apparently went at [...]

Just how angry are some Americans? -UPDATES

March 4, 2010 By

Because all of his pronouncements are subject to sudden change, President Obama, who decried the use of reconciliation on much smaller matters than this, has decided reconciliation is the perfect vehicle by which to tell the American public to shut up and take what he’s giving them (language warning), and also take command over 17% [...]

Dems: "Ramming it through" was bad

February 24, 2010 By

A left-center friend defended to me the Obama/Congress idea of ramming healthcare through. “You didn’t mind it when Bush did it,” he said. Actually, he can’t know that (and I do recall having some hesitations about how rancorous it was all becoming) but more to the point -and the conversation broke off, so I could [...]

G. Washington, S. Brown & Idealism

February 24, 2010 By

This is both interesting and sad: Over at dotCommonweal, Robert Imbelli had a brief post on the buzz-producing “Yes” from Scott Brown on yesterday’s jobs bill. While many analysts have spent the last little while dissecting the vote itself, Imbelli noticed a much quieter (yet much more depressing) note in the story: Three hours before [...]

Cohen is a Dan Akroyd Character

February 5, 2010 By

I generally had no interest in this race, but having watched this almost surreal interview with Scott Lee Cohen, the Democrat nominee for the office of Lt. Governor, all I could think was: if there is ever a film, Dan Aykroyd needs to re-invent his Ed Zelinsky character (from the film Tommy Boy) to play [...]

SOTU Speech Reaction

January 27, 2010 By

My Elder Son was on his way home from school and listening to the speech as he drove. He came in and said, “this speech is reminding me of Chesterton’s dictum that ‘The reformer is always right about what is wrong. He is generally wrong about what is right.’” I ended up surprising myself by [...]
