The “Donation of Constantine” - another convenient lie

The recent documentary, “Not Evil, Just Wrong” takes the eponymous position that the fevered frothings of prophet-for-profit Al Gore and his fellow Carbon Cult revelators and seers are sincerely held and honestly pursued beliefs, if at variance with observed reality. This position was challenged at once by those who pointed out Gore’s vigorous advocacy of government actions that would directly and indirectly subsidize ventures that he has created or invested in for his own material gain.

Now, with the emerging “Warmingate” or “ClimateGate” scandals, the broader corruption of the “scientific consensus” providing secular cover for this established religion is made plain even to laymen, despite the efforts of duplicitous Old Media. » Continue reading “Not Venal, Just Fanatical?”

Such excellent paving-stone work your people do here

Remember when we were told (by the same people who breathlessly assure us the President is not chain-smoking) that he didn’t bow to the guardian of Mecca? Well, now it’s “Tenno Heika Banzai!” from the Nobel laureate. » Continue reading “There He Goes Again”

Spot the people-eating alien menace in disguise

There’s “out of touch”, and then there’s “not of this world”. The President and the Congress are so removed from mere Earthlings that one wonders whether ABC’s “V” is an example of “organic” programming… » Continue reading “Is “V” the new “O”?”

Not Al Gore’s way. Remember how George Bush brought Katrina on New Orleans because global warming, for which he was responsible (much as Ronald Reagan killed people with AIDS and crack), was causing more and worse hurricanes? Well, as with so much else in the canon of the Carbon Cult, that turns out to be so much hot air. » Continue reading “Which Way Is The Wind Blowing?”

…make the most of it!

It’s not “spin” that is the most egregious and dangerous part of having 3/4 of all professional journalists in the United States self-declared supporters of the party in power - even as self-described “conservatives” outnumber “liberals” 2 to 1 in the country at large. » Continue reading “What They’re Not Telling You, But Patrick Henry Could”

Horatius’ various browsers retain leftover tabs, some going back to June, so it’s time to close some and gather others into another helter-skelter -er- eclectic collection… » Continue reading “Potpourri”

Giving orders to the wrecking crew

With all the palpable falsehoods (”opt out”) and verbal gymnastics (”public option”) coming from those who control the Congress and the Executive in Washington City, it is as refreshing as it is surprising to hear a plain, clear statement of honest intent on the part of none other than the most prominent architect of the financial panic and ensuing miseries of the past year, Representative Barney Frank (D) of Massachusetts.

Is the rule of law hiding in the garage?

In the Philadelphia Convention of 1787, called ostensibly to revise the Articles of Confederation, Alexander Hamilton pulled a mighty bait-and-switch, slamming the doors shut, swearing everyone to secrecy, and announcing that they were there to replace the Articles with a new unitary Constitution binding the 13 sovereign States under a single new national (”Federal”) government.

Then, and in the years that followed, there were those who could see what lurked within the large equine structure of the document. All the frippery about “enumerated powers” aside, what came to matter was a simple little item known to posterity as the “elastic clause”. » Continue reading “Hamilton to Heene”

Have we not arrived?

Horatius has perhaps been noted to have remained quite silent through a summer of discontent during which the gulf, between the Federalists of the Congress and Executive and the people who actually produce the wealth and pay the taxes in the country, became so obvious that he felt it better to let events speak for themselves.

Washington is run by those who speak of freedom while enslaving, of peace while waging war, and of informing and including the people in their governing process while in fact denying even the members of Congress themselves an opportunity to know what it is they are expected to vote upon. » Continue reading “Calling Evelyn Wood”
