God is Good

By now Osama Bin Ladin has figured out that there are no virgins. (If there are, they all weigh 600 lbs., have never shaved and have terrible B.O.) I suspect that he has discovered that the promises made in the brand of Islam he professed were, shall we say, "misleading." He has discovered once and for all that you cannot commit murder in the name of religion, or any other name, and escape the penalty for it. Life is not always just, but God is. For a brief moment, he understood that as he figured out he could not hide from the U.S. military forever.

Perhaps the Islamists, the extreme violent part of the Muslim world, will realize that we are serious, that we will not be cowed and that we will not sink to that level. Perhaps not. But this is a great day for America and for the military. God is indeed good and the U.S. military is a close second. God's justice is eternal and inescapable, but thank goodness we have the U.S. military to speed up the process sometimes. Thank you to all the members of the military for you training, your commitment and your sacrifice.

Revenge, would demand that we drag Bin Laden's body through the streets of New York City. But we're better than that. We will rise above the bestial nature of revenge and be satisfied with justice. Normally, I would mourn the loss of human life in any form, but Osama Bin Ladin was subhuman. His actions belie his nature, whatever he professed. So, instead I will take great comfort in knowing he has met his Creator to whom he cannot lie. I will take great comfort in the fact that he can't hurt or taunt us anymore.

Revenge may be a dish best served cold, but justice is satisfying hot, cold or room temperature. Osama Bin Ladin now knows that.

    Holy cow! I wish I would have know that before this morning . . . I would have gone down to the spontaneous celebration at Ground Zero!!!

    Once again my absolute gratitude and pride go out to the armed forces and their families for enabling us to sleep well at night!

So What Can We Do?

I have spent a lot of time picking apart the liberal plan for reforming health care in the U.S. I do not have any confidence in a government that cannot run anything cheaply or efficiently. They are the last people I would trust to manage one sixth of our economy--I wouldn't trust them to do my lawn care. So, it's high time to talk about what can and should be done instead. Here are some ideas that would go a long way to lowering the cost of health care for everyone without a government takeover of health care. 1) Individual responsibility: As with anything in life, when we are directly responsible for the outcomes of our decisions, we are better for it, individually and as a society. That responsibility includes being accountable for our life choices, the amount of risks we take and paying our bills. It seems like a no-brainer doesn't it? Unfortunately, we have gotten away from that thinking in reference to our health care. If I choose to have multiple sexual partners, why...

In Defense of the Stay-at-home-Mom

"Democratic pundit Hilary Rosen, a political consultant who advises the Democratic National Committee, said on CNN Wednesday night that Ann Romney 'never worked a day in her life.'" (Washington Post, 4/12/12, Michael Katz) Ann Romney who has raised five boys who are all college graduates, gainfully employed, married fathers, "has never worked a day in her life." Wow, where to begin. Hilary Rosen has visited the White House over 30 times and works for the DNC. She has close ties to the Democratic party but was not speaking for the DNC. To their credit, many Democrats have distanced themselves from her comments. But her attitude towards stay-at-home mothers is indicative of how many liberals view us. It is one more glaring indication of their hypocrisy and general hatred towards the principles of conservatism, especially in the realm of women. Let us remember how Sarah Palin was treated by liberal women for NOT being a stay-at-home mom. Just one small exampl...

The American Death Cult

Cults are known for some typical but disturbing behavior. Most obvious, is the brainwashing of their members. They also specialize in controllling the flow of information; keeping vital facts from followers. They viciously attack anyone who might question their dogma or dare to leave the cult. Thinking or thoughtful discussion with others and the search for unadulterated truth are the things cults fear the most. The extreme left in this country has embraced these tactics and become a cult of death: t heir god is hedonism,  militant feminists the high priestesses, Planned Parenthood the holy temples and killing the unborn their most sacred ritual.  They are adamantly opposed to any kind of open discussion about the pluses, minuses and causes that lead women to feel they must get an abortion. They work hand-in-hand with the mainstream media to spread their orthodoxy while painting anyone who disagrees with them as the women from the Handmaid's Tale. They are currently, illegally...
