The Danger Of Believing Your Own Lies And Propaganda

I learned to ride jumping horses as a teenager from an old cavalry trooper. Sadly, my English riding and jumping style reflects that early instruction where function was valued over form. It wouldn’t be an issue, except here in America, only the affluent and those who want to appear affluent compose the majority of those who ride jumpers and they have spent years and tens of thousands of dollars to fine tune the image of how they appear or the image they want to project while riding: European riders have disdain for the American rider who seldom ventures beyond the arena; in Europe, they spend their time and money on being able to negotiate difficult courses on horses that aren’t trained to the Nth degree, while being able to train recalcitrant horses to perform at the highest international levels. Americans would rather spend hundreds of thousands or even millions on the easy to ride or push button horse that will win a rosette and a ribbon.

The poison of “multiculturalism” [Reader Post]

I think the arguably most poisonous phrase in the contemporary lexicon is the phrase “celebrate diversity.” It represents the antithesis of that for which this country stands. The phrase on our the Great Seal of the United States is “E pluribus unum” meaning “one from many.” Al Gore, however, has his own version.

“We can build a collective civic space large enough for all our separate identities, that we can be e pluribus unum — out of one, many.”

Ironically and unwittingly, Gore had exposed the liberal philosophy.

Senate Fort Hood report whitewashes Obama’s culpability [Reader Post]

One year ago I noted that: “All three major domestic terror attacks of 2009 were directly enabled by Obama’s reverse-profiling orders, exempting Muslims from scrutiny.”

First was the shooting of two soldiers at a Little Rock Army recruiting office. Shortly after Obama ordered our intelligence agencies to “back off” from investigating black Muslims, a black Muslim who had previously been under surveillance killied one soldier and critically wounded another.

The media war on Sarah Palin is a cover-up [Reader Post]

In a previous post Politico was shown as conducting a vendetta against Sarah Palin and along with much of the media continues the baseless bashing of Palin. It is as though Politico, TPM and the phonies at WaPo get wee-wee’d up any time Palin lands a right cross on Barack Obama. They then have editorial hissyfits in retribution for anyone daring to besmirch their leader.

Common Sense: The antidote to too much government [Reader Post]

Conservatives and libertarians are constantly railing against government intervention in the lives of citizens. As such, they are often accused by the left of hating all forms of government and seeking to deregulate everything to the point where corporations can take over the country and rob and enslave the citizenry.

Nothing could be farther than the truth. Conservatives understand a successful nation requires a functioning government with a strong rule of law.
