http://pjmedia.com/blog/the-amiga-filling-liebermans-hawkish-shoes/?print=1 When Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) retires from the upper chamber he will leave behind a gap in the “three amigos” on foreign policy, as he and Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) have been dubbed. The three senators traveled the world together for over a decade and were always at the table […]

Either employing long-term wisdom or momentary political acumen, President Barack Obama was right last week not to mix up an overwhelming feeling of grief and mourning over the Newtown tragedy with the classic debate about gun control. Still, the question has been raised by pundits like Jeffrey Sachs [1] and political leaders like Dianne Feinstein [2], and will inevitably be raised again and again: since massacres happen, and are usually perpetrated with firearms, is it not reasonable to repeal the Second Amendment, or at least to interpret it in the most restrictive way?
Jeffrey Sachs contends that John Howard, the iconic conservative prime minister of Australia, when faced in 1996 with a killing spree in Port-Arthur, Tasmania (35 casualties), introduced federal gun-control legislation, and that it worked. Indeed, the country has been spared another Port-Arthur ever since then.
But there was at least one multiple killing case: the Monash University killing in 2002 where a foreign student shot seven people and killed two. Moreover, Sachs disregards the fact that there was no significant decrease in Australia since 1996 regarding global levels of crime, violence, and homicide. Restrictions on legally purchased and owned weapons simply induced would-be killers to resort to black-market purveyors, or to turn to other ways of killing.
http://frontpagemag.com/2012/ari-lieberman/islam-republic-and-stephen-walt-giddy-over-prospect-of-chuck-hagel-nomination/ On December 18, Press TV, Iran’s official government propaganda outlet featured a miscreant who attempted to tie the Sandy Hook massacre to “Jewish owned Hollywood” and “Israeli hit squads.” This type of “journalism” is quite the norm for Press TV. It routinely features outrageous programming that aims to denigrate “enemies of the state,” with […]

He claimed that the Israeli announcement was a “near fatal blow to a very fragile Middle East peace process.” “I am deeply […]

The river represents the Jordan River, and the sea is the Mediterranean – both sides of Israel. Essentially, this […]

The left insists that expanding gun free zones, banning firearms and leaving schoolchildren vulnerable to school shooters who do make it past their regulations is the way to go. The right argues that a faculty that has teachers and principals […]

If the 2nd Amendment is responsible for Newtown, Conn. then let’s have a look at what really kills Americans. Guilty and innocents alike. Let’s legislatively ban the obviously responsible parties in each category of unnecessary death. (using Left-think)
Smoking related deaths – 434,000+
We have to immediately punish all tobacco retailers for these deaths. And the people who smoke tobacco. And who manufacture matches and cigarette lighters. In fact, we must immediately ban all forms of combustible weeds.
Obesity related deaths – 300,000+
Ban all food. Now. It’s nearly too late.
Medical mistake-related deaths – 225,000+
Appoint VP Joe Biden to Chair a Blue Ribbon Panel to determine what must be done to prevent medical mistakes, Funeral Directors cheer. Casket manufacturer stock prices soar.
Poor or non-existent health care-related deaths – 100,000+
Know who’s getting your healthcare? Prisoners, illegal aliens and welfare recipients. That’s why Grandpa can’t have nicer catheters.
Vehicle related deaths and costs – 42,000+
Maybe this is the secret to Government Motors, et al. Eliminate vehicles and thus eliminate unplanned death. Note I said unplanned death.
The top five accidental death categories are – Choking (2,500 p/annum) Fire (2,700 p/annum) Falling (25,000 p/annum) Poisoning (39,000 p/annum) and vehicle (already listed) Obviously we must rid our culture of things that choke, any means of combustion, we must all slither on our bellies like snakes to keep from falling and well, as to poisoning? Hard to reconcile with the Left’s predilection for drugs and illegal drugs.

It would encourage them to proceed with their development of nuclear weapons without fear of an attack from the United States. It would […]

Heart of Hollywood Darkness — on The Brewster Gang
In this special episode of The Glazov Gang, host Josh Brewster conducts a one-on-one exclusive interview with Actor Dwight Schultz (dwightschultzfansite.nl) about Heart of Hollywood Darkness. Dwight opens up about his life and intellectual journey, about surviving as a conservative in Hollywood, and much, much more. One of the main themes Dwight focuses on is why some conservatives open their mouths — and many don’t — in an unforgiving industry. See both parts of the two part series below.
