Again, Ban Ki-Moon Will Vote “Present” on Human Rights

Jimmie | April 27, 2011 | Comments (0)

I’m going to go way out on a limb and suggest that it’s not a good thing for the UN Secretary General to vote “present” on the matter of human rights. The brutal crackdown by Syrian President Bashar Assad may finally be getting the attention of world leaders — but apparently not enough to stop [...]

You Need Morality to Have “A Moral Equivalent of War”.

Jimmie | March 8, 2010 | Comments (0)

Ed Driscoll has an interesting post up today on the progressive penchant to identify everything as a crisis in order to gin up public sentiment for its various utopian programs. Before I get into that, though, let me pull out this utterly brilliant Thomas Sowell quote from Ed’s piece. There’s something Eric Hoffer said: “Intellectuals [...]

Oh Yeah, Canada!

Guess who is showing some serious leadership chops at the United Nation today. Go on. Guess. No, not Barack Obama. He gave the same old speech that assumed history began the day he was inaugurated, sucked up to the climate change cult and the petty tyrants, and hung Israel out to dry. Guess again. Oh, [...]

Again, the President Has Chosen Poorly

Jimmie | June 29, 2009 | Comments (4)

Our non-meddling President, after two weeks of assiduously not meddling in the “vigorous debate” in Iran (wherein one side is allowed to use guns and clubs as debating tools), has decided to meddle in the internal affairs of Honduras. And, true to form, he picked the wrong side. Reaction to the apparent coup was swift. [...]

A Missile Launch? Quick, Deploy the Committee!

Well that ought to fix their little red wagons. LONDON (Reuters) – The United States will respond to any North Korean missile launch by raising the matter in the U.N. Security Council, a U.S. official said on Wednesday. I have to imagine that the Dear Leader is just quaking in his tiny, tiny boots at [...]

President Obama Works a Miracle, Finds Pork that the Islamists Will Love

Jimmie | February 24, 2009 | Comments (1)

I suppose of the Obama administration can shovel billions of dollars to ACORN, Planned Parenthood, and dozens of other pet activist groups, it shouldn’t surprise us all that much that he’s also sending almost a billion dollars to the Islamist thugs of Hamas. Of course, the official MSM cover story is that the money isn’t [...]

Secretary Gates Gets Weak and Timid on Piracy

Jimmie | December 15, 2008 | Comments (0)

The first thing about this article that caught my eye was the dateline. I defy anyone who is between 35-50 years old to read that word and not immediately think of Sesame Street. The rest of the article is no bag of laughs, though. Secretary Gates’ admission is, I think, a real stunner. I know [...]

The 2009 Foreign Policy All-Star Team Announced (UPDATED)

Jimmie | December 1, 2008 | Comments (0)

It may be cloudy or snowy where you are today, but don’t you worry. According to our President-Elect, today is “…a new dawn of American leadership to overcome the challenges of the 21st century”. To help shove that sunrise into place, he’s named his prospective foreign policy leadership team. They are: Senator Hillary Clinton- Secretary [...]
