Reconciliation Mania: White House Considers Talks With Taliban

Filed Under Politics, Religion, War | 3 Comments

The White House is pushing “reconciliation” as a way to ram the health care sham through the Senate, and now they’re considering reconciling with the Taliban.
I’d be optimistic for progress if it weren’t for thousands of years of history working against this notion:

Obama’s War on Common Sense Continues

Filed Under PC, Politics, War | 1 Comment

Obama recently said “we are at war with Al Qaeda,” but he obviously meant that only in the legal sense — in the way that a district attorney is at war with the lawyer for the mafia.
We’re discovering the potential lethality that accompanies a bunch of ivy-league lawyers — hell-bent to protect America to death [...]
