22 November, 2004 (11:36) | Uncategorized | By: ricjames

Check out what has evolved into the indispensible source for the good news coming out of Iraq. It’s there, contrary to what our so-called mainstream media would have you believe. Arthur Chrenkoff has another doozy of an update and it’s well worth the time.

Observation vs. Actual: There’s A Difference

22 November, 2004 (09:37) | Uncategorized | By: ricjames

Fox News is reporting this morning that the NBC freelancer who filmed the sure-to-be-infamous Marine shooting the wounded terrorist as saying the terrorist “didn’t move” before the shot was fired. That’s the headline. The actual story, however, quotes Sites as saying, “Aside from breathing, I did not observe any movement at all.” I have a [...]

This looks, frankly, too cool for words. It’ll be great if the performance measures up.

21 November, 2004 (16:36) | Uncategorized | By: ricjames

Jack Kelly of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette gets it very right. :::::::: The rule of thumb for the last century or so has been that for a guerrilla force to remain viable, it must inflict seven casualties on the forces of the government it is fighting for each casualty it sustains, says former Canadian army officer [...]

Those Pesky Rules Of War

I guess the media has been too busy wailing about a Marine who shot a wounded terrorist to carry this story too far: :::::::: In Fallujah, where U.S. Marines and soldiers are still battling pockets of resistance, insurgents waved a white flag of surrender before opening fire on U.S. troops and causing casualties, Marine spokesman [...]

Cronkite Wants New Elections; Voters Too Stupid To Vote Correctly

21 November, 2004 (15:45) | Uncategorized | By: ricjames

Walter Cronkite was once considered the most trusted man in America. I remember listening to him myself as a boy. It wouldn’t be for several years that I learned of his infamous declaration that America could not win the Vietnam War in the midst of the catastrophic rout of NVA forces by American and South [...]

Electronic Voting: Can It Work?

18 November, 2004 (10:50) | Uncategorized | By: ricjames

Not content to accept the results of the elections – even after the Kerry Campaign recognized the numbers just aren’t there – the Left in this country is now attempting to argue that massive voter fraud occurred everywhere in such numbers that (you guessed it) Bush didn’t win “this time either.” The primary focus of [...]

PETA Says Fish=Dogs, Cats

17 November, 2004 (11:23) | Uncategorized | By: ricjames

Yep, PETA’s at it again. But I like the attitude of Atomizer over at Fraters Libertas. Now, would that go best in an orange sauce, or honey mustard?

Time To Put Ohio Behind Us

17 November, 2004 (11:15) | Uncategorized | By: ricjames

It appears that a hugely increased percentage of provisional ballots cast in Ohio are being declared valid – about 81% of those examined. That’s way, way up from the norm of 25% previously reported. Should that be the case across the state (and it would be an unprecedented level, to be sure) then 125,823 ballots [...]
