On the Fact that Jeb Bush Apparently Bussed in a Cadre of Supporters for His CPac Speech

Well, at least the dude didn't say that he was, "severely conservative".

On Arctic Sea Ice Currently at a 30-Year Low

Yeah, that's correct, but even as a 4th grader can tell you, ice that's already floating doesn't increase sea level when it melts. It's land ice that counts and the major source of land ice on the planet, Antarctica, is actually experiencing a 30 HIGH....Yep, they're foiled again, folks.

My New Hero (and, Yes, Folks, She's British)

For her strong opposition to "obliteration bombing" and equally vociferous support for the resistance movement in Germany (which both the British and Americans dogmatically ignored in a perverse quest for unconditional surrender; the entire point of the war not being to stop Hitler but to devastate the German economy as even Churchill ultimately admitted), author and activist, Vera Brittain, proved to be one of the saner voices of the 20th Century (or, the "War Century", as Ralph Raico, Robert Higgs, and John V. Denson have frequently called it) and for that fact alone I a) salute her and b) lament the fact that she was marginalized....If only, huh? 

On the Preposterous Notion of Folks Like Reza Aslan that All Religions Are Equally Disposed to Violence

It's laughable. Yeah, there are a few Buddhists, Taoists, Jainists, Quakers, Amish, and Zen Buddhists out there who are capable of nasty behavior, but in the case of these folks, they truly ARE distorting the faith. Contrast this to Islam in which it is utterly mainstream to believe in things such as, death to apostates, and this whole construct of relativism becomes even more absurd. The real fact of the matter here is that the world's various religions are NOT even remotely comparable and the quicker that we jettison this politically correct delusion/BS the better.

On the Belief by Some that a Ferocious Retribution Directed at Your Enemy Will Somehow Cause that Enemy to Become More Civilized

Yeah, I could never quite grasp that one, folks; the fact that, violence pays, being a much more plausible conclusion (similar to the message that kids get when they're beaten).

Historian, John V. Demson's, View of the C.I.A.

The President's own private paramilitary armed force that he's able to use capriciously and ruthlessly and which the legislative branch has very little control over (yes, I'm paraphrasing again).

On War and Truth

The only time that government lies more than during (and prior to) war is in its aftermath (the depraved search for justification, one could call it); that the Mexican-American War was fought to normalize the border of Texas, that the Civil War was fought to get rid of slavery, that the Spanish-American War was fought to liberate Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines, that the first world war was fought to make the planet safe for democracy, that the second world war was fought to rid the world of fascism, that the war in Vietnam was fought to free those people, etc., etc........It is simply something that they do, folks, and unfortunately (and with the help of court historians) it works (mainly because the citizens allow it to).
