WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BANK ROBBER AND A LIBERAL? |
|
|

Friday, 21 September 2007 |
The difference was made gin-clear by a recent editorial in
the International Herald Tribune, wholly owned by the New York Times,
sneeringly entitled The Nanny
State?
The difference is this:
A bank robber doesn't claim he has a moral right to steal your
money. A bank robber doesn't claim his
thievery makes him the moral superior over his victims.
Liberals do - which makes them far more immoral than common
criminals, thugs and thieves.
According to the IHT, "The United States has long had one of
the most meager tax takes in the industrial world [at least they call it
‘take,' as in ‘theft']. America's
social spending [i.e., welfare programs] is almost the stingiest among
industrial nations."
Such meager and stingy theft is condemned as a "moral
outrage," a contemptibly "tightfisted" approach to "public needs."
It is liberal thievery that is the moral outrage - and
we have a Congress in Washington run by such thieves because too few
conservatives have the courage to denounce the criminality.

RENDEZVOUS ROUNDUP |

Folks, I just can't adequately express what a wonderful time
we had at the To The Point Summer Rendezvous last weekend in Colorado
Springs.
The friendship, with everyone so obviously enjoying each
other's company, was such a marvelous experience. We ate well - the buffalo steak was fabulous - drank good wine,
had endless scintillating conversations, hiked in the Garden of the Gods, and
all of us can hardly wait to get together again.
I owe a lot of thanks - to Miko Reyes, TTP General Manager,
who put everything together while I was on the other side of the world. To Joan Johnson, John Nehring, and Bill
Gregory, without whose help Miko tells me he couldn't have succeeded.
To Joel Wade, Jack Kelly, and Dagny D'Anconia, who so copiously
shared their insights with us.
And to all TTPers who attended, for the more I got to know
them, the more interesting and fascinating they became. Their skills, intelligence, values,
patriotism, and just plain likeability were really overwhelming.
Of all the myriad of questions during the weekend, the one
most asked was: When do we get to do
this again - when and where's the next Rendezvous?
It'll be mid-January, and as we've had two now in the West
(Vegas and Colorado), it should be in the East. But warm - forget winter in, say, Boston or DC. Also historic, memorable, and fun. So we're thinking Charleston, maybe
Savannah. Let me know what you think.
So thanks to all for a great Rendezvous. Don't miss the next one. I can hardly wait for it myself.

MODOGGIES: THE LATEST MOSLEM FREAK-OUT |

The latest event in what is surely one of the world's most
fun sports - Moslem Enragement - is the Modoggy Cartoon Contest taking place in
Sweden.
It started out so innocently. A group of Swedish artists in the small town of Tällberg decided
to hold an exhibition entitled "The Dog in Art," and invited submissions. A famous (and famously eccentric and
mischievous) artist, Lars Vilks, exhibited a large cartoon drawing entitled
"Mohammed as a Rondell Dog."
A Rondell Dog or Rondellhund has been a harmless art
form in Sweden for the last several years.
Anonymous artists have set up plywood or plastic sculptures of dogs in
traffic circle roundabouts (rondells) throughout the country. Here's a typical one:
So Vilks puts up this cartoon sketch:

OLYMPIC TAIWAN |

The Chicoms intend to use the 2008 Beijing Olympics as did
the Nazis in the 1936 Berlin Olympics - as a glorification of their rule and a
demand that the world provide it with the prestige it so desperately
craves. That's their dream.
Last May in Chinese Wishes,
we discussed how the Chicoms' dearest dream may turn out to be a nightmare of
protests and boycotts, a human rights debacle of Olympian proportions.
It looks like Taiwan is going to make this nightmare a lot worse. And the Chicoms won't
be able to do a thing about it.

THE SECRET STORY OF THE SOVIET PLATES |

|
Written by Dr. Jack Wheeler

Wednesday, 29 August 2007 |
Yesterday (8/28), the State Department announced it was
issuing new diplomatic license plates to the foreign embassies here in
Washington. Since the old design was
similar to that of some US states, the new plates' design is supposed to reduce
the confusion.
Here is the old/new comparison from the State press release:
Which gives me an opportunity to tell you the coolest story
you ever heard about license plates.
It's about Soviet license plates during the Cold War, and the true name
of "The Reagan Doctrine."
The story begins with my getting a phone call in 1985 from a
buddy of mine working in the Reagan White House, Dana Rohrabacher (who has been
a Congressman, R-CA, since 1988). The
conversation went like this:
