Year: 2012

It’s becoming increasingly apparent that our friends in Europe do not fully understand the ramifications of Sept 11th. As a favor to our allies, I think I should do my best to present things from the American perspective before the nations of Europe do something that we will all regret. While Americans do view Europe […]

One year ago today in an attack unprecedented in the history of humankind, 19 terrorists murdered almost 3000 Americans. There will be many memorials today to the innocent men and women who died on 9/11. The husbands who never came home to their wives, the mothers who never looked into the faces of their children […]

Many of the same people on the left who snickered when Bush included North Korea in the ‘Axis of Evil’ are now frantic about the threat that North Korea presents, or at least they’re pretending to be. So they’re demanding that Bush forget all about that “Iraq thing” and focus all of his energy on […]

Because I regularly read through offbeat websites in order to compile new editions of “Anyone can post on the internet“, I get a lot of opportunities to peruse the latest crackpot conspiracy theories. During any given week I may read about Planet X, the Illuminati / Free Mason / Jewish / (take your pick) plot […]

“Eye on the Left:: How significantly did the events of September 11th and the recent war with Iraq impact the general public’s view of blogs and bloggers? John Hawkins:: Perhaps more journalists and a few more hard core news junkies discovered blogs because of 9/11 or the war in Iraq, but I don’t think 99% of the […]

On Veterans Day, I noticed that more than a few left-wing websites decided it was an opportune time to break out the “chickenhawks” slur again. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the word or who associate it with its more vulgar meaning, when the left uses the term, they are generally referring to […]

There are those who say we can’t help Iraq become a Democracy; they’re wrong. They say we should pull out; they’re mistaken. They claim it’s pointless to continue, but they have no sense of history or perspective. To those who say… A lot of Iraqis have soured on the occupation and don’t like American troops!:Gee, […]

Lately, it seems that not a day can pass without Nancy Pelosi, Ted Kennedy, Al Gore, John Kerry and their ideological soul mates in the mainstream media making acerbic comments about how the Bush administration has handled the war on terrorism. For those of us who disagree with them, it is easy enough to “attack […]

With public attention focused on the GOP primaries, the White House quietly promoted another self-dealing lobbyist to serve as President Obama’s top domestic policy adviser. Promises? What broken promises? Cecilia Munoz, the current director of intergovernmental affairs at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., will now serve as head of the Domestic Policy Council. She’ll wield heightened influence […]

One thing is clear: At best, Mitt Romney is a work in progress. Romney is under attack for being a hugely successful private equity banker at Bain Capital. Bain identified distressed companies and found value in them for shareholders, investors and, ultimately, consumers. When things worked right, Romney and his team streamlined firms and injected […]

On this we can agree with President Obama: Everything he stands for is at stake in 2012. Obama told 500 fawning sycophants in Chicago that he is unrepentant about his policy agenda and intends to treat us to more of the same, much more, in a second term. Obama said, “Everything that we fought for […]

OK, I don’t really consider myself a pundit-pundit, but I owe my readers an apology: I am a lousy judge of character. Don’t ever trust me again — or at least vet me extremely carefully. I fell for Rick Perry, a man less qualified, it turns out, to be president than my dead grandmother. Yes, […]

Michael Jackson is perhaps the sickest, most ridiculous freakshow walking the planet today. He’s a human fairy tale that with a moral that goes “this is how far out of touch with reality you can get when you become a celebrity.” Jackson has literally been a star since he was a young child. He was […]

All across the world people saw Saddam’s statue being pulled down in Firdos Square & the wild euphoria in the street that followed. In much of the Western world, this event is being compared to the fall of the Berlin Wall. But, according to the Western media, things looked different through Arab eyes. We’re being […]

Mitt Romney is an enormous squish. On the squish scale, he falls somewhere between Jabba the Hut and Slimer from Ghostbusters. He can’t be trusted on conservative philosophy, and he can’t be trusted to act as a principled conservative while in office. And that may be the best thing for the conservative movement. Since the […]

On 9/11, 2001 America was attacked, and not for the first time by an implacable and radical enemy bent on our destruction. There is no negotiating with the likes of Al-Qaeda, there can only be a global knife fight that will end with either Western civilization or the terrorists & their allies face down, breathing […]

Yesterday I was talking to a friend of mine about Saddam Hussein and she said in part, FOH:: …I just don’t agree with being lied to in order to take (Saddam) out. John Hawkins:: What lie do you think you were told? FOH:: That we were in imminent danger of being destroyed by weapons of mass destruction. My […]
