Spy Squad: Big & Unwieldy

With the almost million man spy squad, according to a recent article in the Washington Post, that the governments of George W. Bush and Barack Obama have composed, we can't help but wonder if there are any moles among this gargantuan police state apparatus, similar to the former FBI agent and convicted mole/spy, Robert Hanssen. The whole national spy squad is probably way too big for it to be efficient, and that only increases the chances for another mole (like Hanssen) to be in their ranks, which could severely hurt our nation's security.

It's time to downsize and re-evaluate the entire national security apparatus so that it is focused on real threats to our nation, not law-abiding dissidents and loyal oppositionists. Right now, the security apparatus is too unwieldy and large.

Last Chance for Tradition

Hollywood liberals, in partnership with the national liberal intelligentsia, are determined to increase the spoils of victory that they have ridden on for the last quarter century, and, now, they are trying to run up the score by vanquishing the last remnants of social conservatism in America.  If Hollywood wins, America as we have known it since the Era of Theodore Roosevelt, or the Ragtime Era, will forever be lost, and once lost there will be no hope of return.  In this decade, we have reached the tipping point as the national liberal intelligentsia is trying to turn America up side down, hamlet by hamlet, town by town, city by city, and state by state until they capture all the hearts and minds.    Now, they and Hollywood are funneling money into the campaign chest of Adam Smith, hoping to keep out yet another small voice for traditional America, Mark Greene's voice, from reach...

The Broader Quagmire

The war, already the longest in American history, has spread to different theaters in different nations besides Afghanistan, most notably Iraq, and most Americans, unfortunately, pay little attention to it.  It is something that's just there in the national conscious, but  day-by-day or week-by-week coverage in the media is hardly noticeable. Though, we weren't around at the time, you get the feeling that World Wars I & II were covered comprehensively by the media of that time, and every citizen on the home front was paying attention to the reports of the battles.  The problem with these amorphous wars of the 21st century that are being waged in several countries around the world is that the U.S. political and military elite have decided on warring against a broader enemy as opposed to focusing on a narrower enemy as in the aforementioned world wars.  In other words, going to war against practically any militant ...

Police Bullying in NM

MSNBC-TV showed video today about the New Mexico State Police terrorizing a family over an alleged speeding violation.  The family consisted of a woman and several children.  The police broke windows, fired shots, bullied, threatened, screamed at, and forced the woman and her kids to the ground, but naturally it is the family that is under charges instead of the police that acted unlawfully.  In a different case, in Washington D.C. several weeks ago, police officers fired shots at and killed a woman because her car rammed a barricade and she tried to get away, but they had no idea whether the ramming was intentional or accidental, nor did they care.  They used brute force against her rather than to simply capture and arrest her.  This is barbarism, and these are hardly isolated cases in the U.S.  Not only are top officers and officials of the defense establishment, which systematically brutalizes ...
