The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones "Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra" "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche "A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke "Μολὼν λαβέ" -- Leonidas "Blogito Ergo Sum" -- Neptunus Lex Relocating?Military members find information on homes for military by visiting Military Homes.com For the Effort!Subscribe![]() Tagsafghanistan AGW Araby army Blogging buffoonery china culture economy Flying Friday Musings geopol GWOT Headlines health care History iran iraq issues Media Memory Lane Military Navy norks Oz pakistan piracy politicians politics Politics and Culture pundits Russia science seals sea stories silliness Small Stuff SoCal sport technology UAVs UK usaf usmc weapons WP Cumulus Flash tag cloud by Roy Tanck and Luke Morton requires Flash Player 9 or better. |

At least one person noted the despicable practice of character assasination and intimidation practiced by the left. Read the trackback writings of the “Anchoress” and you’ll see that one person did take note and, indeed, changed her allegiance as a result.
How far will this practice go? Who will stop it? We must all become more vigilant as it continues today. McCarthyism was identified and expunged from our world, or so we thought. However, we live with it, practiced by the left today. How they want us all to be in “alignment” with them.
They will change our world … if they can. If we let them. We need more people like lawyer Doggett!
Howie was the steamiest of turds. He got his start making sweetheart paid parking deals with the city of Cleveland. That’s why I never park in an ACE lot.
I vaguely remember the confirmation hearing for Thomas, as well as the ones for Bork. Politics was not where my interest were in the way back — going to school, raising kids, job hunting, trying to live a life was where I was then.
I remember the outrage and the screaming about him and the way that Anita Hill was given instant credibility, but I don’t remember having an opinion one way or the other myself. I was just sort of hoping all the screaming would stop and just confirm him already. I didn’t want to listen to another set of hearing if he were denied confimation.
I do remember thinking that people were getting awfully nasty about it, though. They seem to be holding a grudge against him and are still being nasty about it and him.
Politics is a game. If you can’t play and lose gracefully, then you probably shouldn’t be playing. Same goes for winning well, too. Good behavior is now a sign of weakness. We’re poorer for it.
Cap’n,
Yeah, I remember the ‘Honorable’ Howard Metzenbaum, Democrat of Ohio. With his Son-in-Law, Joel Hyatt (he of Hyatt Legal Services) , he pretty much ran roughshod over most of that state’s local businesses. He was second only to Speaker of the House Jim Wright in sleaze.
As I have stated elsewhere, I have no love for the way the Federal Congress abuses people with ad hominem attacks, ‘earmarks (aka kickbacks) for pet projects’ and general sleaze. When Senators represented the State Government, they were controllable. Now? There is no control nor can voters effectively change the line-up.
If this keeps up, we’re toast.
