Vacation is good for America

Stay on vacation, Mr. Obama, (and spare us another Stimulus).

July 4, 2011

July 4 is Liberty's birthday. July 4 is my other 'birthday'; indeed July 4 is every American's other birthday. The greatest nation the world has ever known, only a young 234 years, and we are still the shining city on a hill because Americans are fearless in defending liberty.

Archbishop of Canterbury

Did you hear? --the Archbishop of Canterbury criticized the United States for shooting dead the unarmed Osama bin Laden.

History as a guide?

I think that Gandhi’s commitment to non-violence was admirable, but it's impractical today. Non-violence as a response to today's Islamo-terrorism would be disastrous. 

Gandhi was dealing with rational men; we are not.

Coalition of the Lukewarm

I think this very odd Libyan campaign that we’re immersed in will soon reveal the spiritual dangers of a half-hearted war. Obama has ceded leadership to NATO. Furthermore, just look at NATO's half-baked bombing campaign to stop Gadhafi --all in the name of preventing civilian deaths! Spiritual lesson: there is no good outcome when your leadership is lukewarm. This is Obama's Coalition of the Lukewarm.

Still a viable organization?

I think at some point the U.S. is going to have to decide whether NATO is still a viable organization, and worth saving, now that it is on the verge of being utterly humiliated in Libya. (Military history majors, pay attention.)

The masculine Jesus

I've always been enamored by how Christ always swam against the current, as it were. Indeed, Christ would get under the skin of the Pharisees by healing poor souls on the Sabbath, and He even needled the so-called 'righteous' Pharisees by calling them whitewashed sepulchres full of dead men's bones, to their faces! --what a riot! Jesus was a man's man.
