Daniel Greenfield over at Sultan Knish blog has put up an interesting review of the Jewish actions in America over the last century. He draws parallels to what is happening today vis a vis Iran and the bomb. His closing remarks are:

The establishment will not stand up to Obama, just like it didn’t stand up to FDR. The real action will come from ad-hoc coalitions, like the one behind the Stop Iran Rally, that throw things together. And it will come from a handful of kids somewhat that do what the adults aren’t doing.

Bergson was in his early twenties when he began his activism. Dennis Prager was in his early twenties when he began working as the national spokesman for Student Struggle for Soviet Jewry. … Continue reading →

God-Damned Idiots.

I cannot describe how angry I am at the clown-car Republican candidate debates, Chris Christie, Mitt Romney, the punditry, the establishment–yep, pretty much the whole lot of ’em.

I have always been hostile to a third-party gambit; I still am.  But the GOP seems hell-bent to have one.  Ever since the Tea Party behaved magnificently and returned the GOP to power in an historic crushing mid-term defeat of the Communists currently defiling our Capitol, the GOP has been absolutely set on destroying the morale of the organization which restored the spirit of the Republican Party.  Well, it’s not going to work.

If the RINOs insist on sabotaging the work of the Tea Party *to elect Republicans*, they will harm only … Continue reading →

I am a kind of gunslinger, traveling for work to where I am needed. I work busy ED’s so the usual length of a “contract” is about a year. This one here in Evansville has been most unusual in that I have been working here for about 4 years, way longer than locums stints go.

I generally work 3-4 days in a row, then go home for a “rest”. Sometimes it amounts to merely washing dirty clothes and repacking by bag with clean stuff, getting to play ball with the dog a bit, and a dinner or two with my wife.

Celebrating “Free and Independent States” this 4th of July

I am not a constitutional scholar (although I suspect I may know more about it than BHO). So some of the debate that I am hearing is a little over my head.

More particularly, ?just what does “incorporatioin” mean, when referring to the constitution. MY sense is that it means that something is essential in the constitution, given to the Fed, so not usupable by states (or other government entities).

But I also understand that when the constitution was written, it was intended to be directly applicable to the fed ONLY, and that states, other than specific banned actions (making foreign treaties, taxing goods across their state line, etc.) were free to decide whatever they wished on these matters. So the Bill Of Rights is NOT incorporated, but … Continue reading →
