"I believe the very heart & soul of [what is now called by some] conservatism is libertarianism. I think conservatism is really a misnomer, just as liberalism is a misnomer for the liberals -- if we were back in the days of the [American] Revolution [1770s-1780s], so-called conservatives today would be the Liberals & [so-called] liberals [today] would be the Tories. The basis of conservatism is a desire for less gov't interference or less centralized authority & more individual freedom, & this is a pretty general description also of what libertarianism is." --- Ronald Reagan 1975-07-??

the AR-15 (and other short-barreled rifles)
"...this gun was originally designed for civilian use [but inspired the development of the M-16 for military use]. The M-16 has been redesigned to become the M4 carbine, which is in use by the USA military today. Military guns can be 'select-fire'. They can shoot as 'fully-automatic', which means once you pull the trigger and hold it back the gun will fire until the magazine is empty. [Or they can be set to fire a short burst of 3-5 shots, depending on the specific rifle.] Or you can adjust it to semi-automatic mode, which means you must pull the trigger each time you want to fire a round... The AR-15 can only be fired semi-automatically. Semi-automatic technology has been around for over 100 years and is the way the vast majority of guns are made in the USA. A revolver [a kind of semi-automatic firearm that has existed since a German 8-shot match-lock about 1580, but was improved by several engineers to use cartridges and operate more reliably and safely beginning in about 1815, with continuing safety improvements continuing to the present; other, non-revolving semi-automatic pistols have been developed since the 1880s]..."

age discrimination law-suit against HP
"...HP in 2012 announced it would cut 27K jobs. The company continued to announce lay-offs, which to date total more than 80K... Central to the law-suit's claims are statements attributed to Meg Whitman, who is now HP chair-woman and HP Enterprise CEO. 'We need to return to a labor pyramid...where you have a lot of early career people who bring a lot of knowledge who you're training to move up through your organization, and then people fall out either from a performance perspective or whatever.', Whitman said in a 2013 meeting when she was the chief executive before the company split, according to the complaint. 'And we put in place an informal rule to some extent which is, «Listen, when you are replacing someone, really think about the new style of *IT* skills.»' Whitman's purported statements were the only aspect of the case that surprised Norman Matloff, a U of CA at Davis computer science professor who studies age discrimination in tech. Age-related bias in Sili Valley is 'standard'practice' and lets employers swap out higher-cost older workers for younger, cheaper labor, Matloff said. 'If there is anything surprising it's that someone like Meg Whitman let her guard down and said either publicly or semi-publicly, «We've got to make our work-force younger.»', Matloff Said..."

more non-sense about visa applicants' right to privacy
"A privacy intrusion? We're talking about people who aren't even in the USA [for the most part], who have no constitutional right to enter the country, and whose legal rights to privacy are nonexistent, since a) the burden is on them to prove they aren't excludable as terrorists, etc. when they arrive at a port of entry; and b) in any case, the federal Privacy Act clearly limits the reach of its delineated privacy rights to 'USA persons', who are defined as citizens and lawfully resident aliens. What could these 'immigration, civil liberties, and other groups' be thinking? Apparently in their fantasy world [the Muslim terrorist attacks on 2001/09/11] never happened and would-be jihadist martyrs have never used social media to declare their allegiance to various and sundry militant Islamic terror groups before carrying out horrific attacks. Never mind the FB posts of Tashfeen Malik, for example, which were not examined by USA officials before she was admitted to the country to marry her fellow jihadist; they then went on to kill 14 and seriously wound 22 more in San Bernardino, Calif. Apparently we should all live in a cocoon of innocence and disregard the reality that some foreigners' hate toward the West (and, more specifically, toward America and its citizens) is so strong that they will do whatever they must to get here and perpetrate atrocities in the name of Allah. IOW, don't believe your lyin' eyes or ears when you read or see media accounts to the contrary as Islamist-inspired terrorist attacks happen all over the world. Most especially, don't believe the ones about terrorists from countries with visa waiver privileges -- you know, like the attacks in Denmark, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, [Austria], and France, not to mention the foiled attacks and plotters arrested in Spain, the United Kingdom, and elsewhere."

do facts matter anymore?
"...Homicide rates among black males went down by 18% in the 1940s and by 22% in the 1950s. It was in the 1960s, when the ideas of Chief Justice Warren and others triumphed, that this long decline in homicide rates among black males reversed and skyrocketed by 89%, wiping out all the progress of the previous 20 years. The same reversal in the country at large saw murder rates by 1974 more than twice as high as in 1960. This was after the murder rate had been cut in half from where it had been in the 1930s... The most deadly ghetto riot of the 1960s occurred in Detroit, where 43 people were killed -- 33 of whom were black. In Detroit at that time, black median family income was 95% of white median family income. The unemployment rate among blacks was 3.4% and black home ownership was higher in Detroit than in any other major city..."

for sale cheap: presidents, candidates, senators, congress-critters, governors, attorneys-general...
"...Her presidency, if there is one, has already been sold, and a new batch of e-mails pried out of the government by Judicial Watch reveals the going rate for Hillary. The Kingdom of Bahrain got a secretary of State for something less than $100K, though the Bahrain Petroleum Company, which is not separate because in these nationettes where nothing ever is, kicked in an additional '$25K to $50K'. What they got was not even a returned telephone call. Whatever else she is, Hillary is not a cheap date. The e-mail exchanges in the 725 pages of the new State Department documents obtained through court proceedings tell how Huma Abedin, Hillary's top aide and 'body woman', escorted influential donors, most of them oil-rich Muslims, through the maze of the Clinton Foundation to get to the secretary of State and the USA Government. It was pay to play. No pay, no play. The point of Hillary's friendship with Mzz Abedin comes ever clearer, too. With her ties to, connections with and knowledge of the murk and smarm of the Middle East, Mzz Abedin was crucial to the selling of the second Clinton presidency. Hillary learned well from Bubba, who learned the way to make corruption pay..."

election fraud: to ID or not to ID?
"...Granted, most poor people are unlikely to have a passport, but the state will issue any legal resident an identification card. Are civil rights groups who sued the state contending that poor and minority people are so inept that they can't apply for an identification card? If that is their position, how are they able to apply for SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistant Program) benefits, which require a photo ID? Why is voting the one category in which you don't have to prove your citizenship and legal residence? I will answer that question in a moment. Three years ago during a similar controversy, Ashe Schow of The Washington Examiner compiled a list of 24 things that require a photo ID. You must have a photo ID if you are 25 or under and wish to purchase alcohol or cigarettes. Store signs say so. Want to open a bank account? Photo ID required. Here are the rest of the categories: applying for welfare, Medicaid and [Socialist Insecurity] (presumably poor people take advantage of one or more of these programs); unemployment benefits (ditto); rent/buy a house, or apply for a mortgage; drive/buy/rent a car; get on an airplane; get married; buy a gun; adopt a pet; rent a hotel room; apply for a hunting or fishing license; buy a cellphone; visit a casino; pick up a prescription (or buy restricted over-the-counter medications); donate blood; apply for a license to hold a demonstration; buy an 'M'-rated video game; purchase nail polish at CVS..."

"When [George Washington] was inaugurated in New york on Thursday 1789 April 30, Gershom Seixas, of Shearith Israel, was listed among the city's clergy (there were 14 ministers in New York at the time) -- a sign of respect. In an earlier message to governor George Clinton, the synagogue had subtly reminded the new country's leadership that 'though the Society we belong to is but small, when compared with other religious societies, yet, we flatter ourselves that none has manifested a more zealous attachment...in the late war with Great Britain...and we now look forward with pleasure to the happy days we expect to enjoy under a constitution wisely framed to preserved the inestimable blessings of civil and religious liberty.' The next year, Washington wrote his land-mark letter to the Hebrew congregation of Newport, RI. 'May the children of the stock of Abraham, who dwell in this land continue to merit and enjoy the good will of the other inhabitants; -- while every one shall sit in safety under his own vine and fig tree and there shall be none to make him afraid.'" --- Jon Meacham 2006 _American Gospel: God, the Founding Fathers, and the Making of a Nation_ pg101 (citing Jonathan D. Sarna 2004 _American Judaism: An History_ pp40-41; George Washington & John H. Rhodehamel 1997 _Writings_ pg767)

Jon Feere _Center for Immigration Studies_
does Hitlery Rotten Clinton support securing USA borders? Why don't the media ask?
"...as a senator, Clinton voted for the Secure Fence Act of 2006 which required, among other things, 'physical infrastructure enhancements to prevent unlawful entry by aliens into the United States'. I also explained that it required 'operational control over the entire international land and maritime borders of the United States' and operational control was defined as: 'the prevention of all unlawful entries into the United States, including entries by terrorists, other unlawful aliens, instruments of terrorism, narcotics, and other contraband'. The Secure Fence Act would have created 700 miles of fencing along the [nearly 2K mile long] USA-Mexico border and required that DHS 'shall provide for least 2 layers of reinforced fencing, the installation of additional physical barriers, roads, lighting, cameras, and sensors' along a number of specific stretches. After it was signed into law, however, an amendment gave much more discretion to DHS to decide where and if it wanted to construct fencing, rendering the act much less effective. It sure sounds like 'she wanted a wall', to quote Trump. But I gave PolitiFact more research. In 2006 October, Clinton gave a speech before the Council on Foreign Relations in which she called for an amnesty, but also said the USA must 'Secure our borders with technology, personnel, physical barriers if necessary in some places; and we need to have tougher employer sanctions.' On illegal aliens, Clinton said: 'If they've committed transgressions of whatever kind, they should be obviously deported.' And I alerted PolitiFact to a speech Clinton gave at a high school in Windham, NH, in November last year in which she comes across as a border security enthusiast. She said: 'Well look, I voted numerous times when I was a Senator to spend money to build a barrier to try to prevent illegal immigrants from coming in. And I do think you have to control your borders. We need to secure our borders, I'm for it, I voted for it, I believe in it, and we also need to deal with the families, the workers who are here, who have made contributions, and their children.'... Since then her talk of building 'bridges, not walls' leaves one wondering what Clinton's current position is on border security. For whatever reason, Clinton seems unable [politically unwilling] to take a clear position... Trump suggested his wall would be around 1K miles due to natural barriers that already exist on parts of the border. Specifically, he said: ''You know, interestingly, the wall on the southern border, it's -- really, if you think it's a thousand miles. It's 2K miles, but... you also have natural terrain which is automatically a barrier, which is a good thing. So you're talking about a thousand.'... the article [St. Petersburg/Tampa Bay propaganda piece] wasn't designed to educate people about where Clinton and Trump stand on border security... Bottom line: It's totally true that Clinton once supported a double-wall border fence that never got constructed, and it's totally true that Trump's proposed wall is 300 miles longer."

"Greek historians were at their weakest when it came to chronology, yet the tradition seems good enough for our purposes. A group of dates is given by Greek authors for the fall of Troy, and the dates range from 1334BCE to 1150BCE. The most note-worthy are Eratosthenes' 1184BCE, which has prevailed as the 'traditional date'; and Herodotus' (2.145) approxiate date of 1250BCE. All these dates are approximations based on genealogical material. We do not know which date is right, if any one is. We do not, for that matter, know whether there was a Trojan War [But something happened which gave rise to the legend, however remote the legend may be from historical fact.]. But we can see where tradition put it." --- Homer & Richmond Lattimore 1951 _The Iliad of Homer_ pp18-19

diversity: history's path-way to chaos
"...The Roman Empire worked as long as Iberians, Greeks, Jews, Gauls and myriad other African, Asian and European communities spoke Latin, cherished habeas corpus and saw being Roman as preferable to identifying with their own particular tribe. By the fifth century, diversity had won out but would soon prove a fatal liability. Rome disintegrated when it became unable to assimilate new influxes of northern European tribes. Newcomers had no intention of giving up their Gothic, Hunnish or Vandal identities. The propaganda of history's multicultural empires -- the Ottoman, the Russian, the Austro-Hungarian, the British and the Soviet -- was never the strength of their diversity. To avoid chaos, their governments bragged about the religious, ideological or royal advantages of unity, not diversity..."

Donald Trump "softening" on immigration?
"Following Donald Trump's town hall appearance on the Fox News Channel's 'Hannity' show, in which he 'softened' his tone on immigration, The Hill has published an article, 'Hard-liners shrug off Trump's softer tone on immigration', that quotes a few individuals such as Joe Arpaio, Maricopa county AZ, sheriff, and Alabama senator Jeff Sessions, who persevere in their support of the Republican presidential candidate. During the town hall, Trump said, 'Let me go a step further: They'll pay back-taxes, they have to pay taxes. There's no amnesty, as such, there's no amnesty, but we work with them.' A number of supporters have tried hard to suggest it isn't a flip-flop, but I lean more toward Mark Krikorian's view on this, as he expressed it in National Review. It is a turnabout, and a dramatic and disappointing one. You can say it won't be an 'amnesty'; you can say 'they will have to pay back taxes', but we've heard all that before, and when you look at the details -- as CIS did, exhaustively, with the notorious Gang of Eight bill [S744] -- it all proves to be hokum. Come to think about it, isn't that precisely why Trump hammered senator Marco Rubio so successfully early in the nomination season? Because he was a prevaricator and flip-flopper on the need for immigration enforcement? If you think that swirling sound isn't an immigration enforcement policy headed down the throne quickly, consider, for example, this snippet from that The Hill article: 'Representative Chris Collins (R-NY), one of the earliest Trump backers, is promoting a system that provides legal status and work permits to the millions of people in the country illegally. He's calling it 'rhetorical deportation' –– and he suggested Wednesday that Trump might be open to embracing the concept.' Just what, exactly, is 'rhetorical deportation'? I'm thinking it would be kind of like a judge sentencing a criminal at his trial to '10 years in rhetorical prison' (collective gasp from the courtroom onlookers at the draconian sentence) and then sending him home with a stern lecture about being a better person. Such nonsense. Maybe Trump can also build a 'rhetorical wall with Mexico' and call the job done [just as congress did after Reagan's amnesty concession, as GHWBush did, as Clinton did, as Shrub did]..."

"According to Livy, the first stage productions in Rome were mimetic dances imported from Etruria in 364BCE in an effort to 'disarm the wrath of the gods' during a serious bout of plague. These ludi scenici, or theatrical games, along with the fabulae Atellanae, adapted from the satiric, prank-filled rustic farces popular in Atella, Campania, and the saturae, or plotless medleys, variety shows, and revues satisfied the need for amateur entertainment for 2 centuries before spawning professional troupes in the 1st century. Early Roman comedy found endless possibilities in a set of stock characters or stereotypes, such as the braggart soldier; Maccus, the bumbling bumpkin; Bucco, the conniving parasite; Pappus, the oddering old crank; Manducus, the glutton; and Dossennus, the hunch-back clown. These stock figures probably found their way into the commedia dell'arte of the Italian Renaissance under the names of Arlechino, the wily servant; Pantalone, the senile old fool; Pulcinella, the rustic; Dottore, the wise philosopher; Miles Gloriosus, the swaggering captain of the guards; Pasquella, the old woman; Columbina, the eaves-dropping chamber-maid; and the cooing love-birds -- the sweet young thing and her good-hearted, ingenuous boy-friend." --- Mary Ellen Snodgrass 1988 _Cliffs Notes on Roman Classics_ pg39

media mislead public on Pew poll about border fence/wall
"All too often, immigration polls are not designed to get at what Americans really think about immigration, but instead are written to create a certain narrative. Many polls are financed by activist groups who simply want to create the appearance of widespread public support for amnesty. The advocates have two main goals: (1) provide lobbyists with polling data that they can use to browbeat politicians into supporting their cheap-labor, open-border agenda; and (2) encourage the media to write head-lines that don't really reflect the findings, but nevertheless advance the notion that Americans love open borders. The Pew Research Center has done just that with a new poll. The poll contains a few different questions, but the one getting all the press asks Americans about building a border wall. Specifically, Pew asks: 'All in all, would you favor or oppose building a wall along the entire border with Mexico?' According to Pew, 61% of Americans oppose building a wall along the entire border with Mexico. A reporter happened to bring this poll to my attention hours before it got into the news cycle, and I noted that it's not that informative of a question because of the weasel word 'entire'. I explained that even presidential candidate Donald Trump isn't proposing building a wall along the entire USA-Mexico border. In other words, I noted that even though I'm in favor of a border fence because it would help deter some illegal immigration and drug trafficking, I would have responded 'no' to that question due to the fact that there are locations along the border with geography that serves as a natural barrier. I also told the reporter that I bet most reporters would not mention the word 'entire' when reporting the results. Sure enough, I was right. And, as is predictable, the media is taking it a step further by using their mischaracterization of the poll to discredit Trump's proposed border wall, and border security generally. Check out some of the head-lines the Pew poll generated: 'Poll Finds Most Americans Oppose Wall on USA-Mexico Border'; 'Pew: 6-in-10 oppose Donald Trump's proposal to build border wall'; and 'Big majority in poll oppose Trump's proposed wall on USA-Mexico border'. Of course, those who took the poll weren't responding to Trump's proposed wall. They were asked to respond to a proposal of a wall across the entire southern border, something no candidate has proposed. The media narrative is misleading, but Pew should have expected this result and planned against it with better, or additional, questions. If truth was the goal, Pew would be calling on the media to correct the head-lines. If accurate reporting was the goal, the media wouldn't be writing these head-lines in the first place. 'A more accurate head-line would be: Americans Don't Support a Wall Across the Entire Southern Border and Still May Support Trump's 1K-Mile Wall, but We Just Don't Know Because Pew Didn't Ask'. The border wall issue is something I had to address last week when PolitiFact called our office to determine the truthfulness of Trump's statement that 'Hillary Clinton wanted a wall, a number of years ago. She wanted a wall'. As I explained to PolitiFact, it is true that Clinton voted for the Secure Fence Act in 2006 and that it would have mandated 700 miles of double border fencing that was required, under the terms of the law, to stop 'all unlawful entries into the United States'. (The wall was never fully constructed since the law was amended not long after passage.) As I detailed in a recent blog post, [St. Petersburg/Tampa Bay Times] PolitiFact decided that Trump's statement was only "half true" because PolitiFact felt that Trump was equating his wall proposal with Clinton's past support for 700 miles of fencing. They argued that 2K miles is much more than 700 miles. I explained to PolitiFact that they shouldn't do a mileage comparison since Trump hasn't proposed a wall across the entire 2K-mile border with Mexico, and in fact has proposed only 1K miles. That little fact never made it into the article even though it would necessarily have changed the analysis. The point is that there are too many reporters who are too lazy to do their homework and too quick to jump on a narrative that promotes their worldview. Had they any care for the truth, the writers of these articles would have asked Pew why they polled on the concept of a border wall that crosses the entire border instead of polling on a 1K-mile or 700-mile fence. (I sent a tweet to the author on this point and will update if he responds.) If Pew were a little more honest, they would ask the poll a few different ways. The might result might have been different had Pew asked: 'Do you support additional fencing or walling along the USA-Mexico border that is longer than what is currently there?' And the results would likely be very different if Pew had asked: 'Clinton voted for 700 miles of additional fencing along the border in 2006 [but it was never built] and Trump is proposing 1K additional miles along the border; do you think additional fencing or a wall would be helpful in deterring illegal immigration?' In fact, buried deep within Pew's full report, Pew notes a CNN poll from 2006 that asked respondents whether they support 'Building a fence along 700 miles of the border with Mexico'. The results: 54% said 'yes' and 44% said 'no'. Question wording matters. Pew also notes that CNN did a similar poll only months later and the results flipped (46% in favor, 48% opposed). It seems unlikely that suddenly there's massive opposition to improved border security, despite the head-lines currently being pumped out of [propaganda boiler-rooms]. Better, more detailed questions always provide a better picture of what Americans really think, but Pew decided to ask about something that doesn't exist in any proposal in this election cycle -- a 2K-mile-long border that covers the entire USA-Mexico border [while failing to ask, for instance, whether they would prefer 100 miles out of nearly 2K, 500 miles, 1K miles, 1,500 miles, or 2K miles of the USA-Mexico border fenced, and, seperately, whether they would prefer 100 miles, 500 miles, 1K, 2K, 3K, 4K, 5K, 5,525 miles of the USA-Canada border fenced, whether 500 miles, 1K miles, 1,500 miles or more of the Alaska-Canada border they would prefer to be fenced, and what levels of guarding they would prefer]. A different question in the Pew poll also suffers from a flaw that pops up in nearly every poll claiming to show public support for amnesty. In inquiring about how to handle illegal aliens, Pew gave respondents a choice that is supposed to indicate support for amnesty. It asks respondents if they support 'creating a way for immigrants already here illegally to become citizens if they meet certain requirements'. As I've noted elsewhere, this nebulous 'certain requirements' language is a favorite of amnesty advocates because it leaves it to the respondent to imagine any type of 'requirement' that he needs to justify the idea of legalizing illegal aliens. It makes the response very attractive, which is the goal of push polls. Some respondents may think, 'Yes, I'd support legalization, but only if one of those requirements is proving that the person has never fraudulently used an American citizen's [Socialist Insecurity number (SIN)].' Obviously, that would disqualify millions of illegal aliens. Another respondent might think, 'Yes, but only if one of those requirements is paying a fine of $100K to legalize.' Neither of these 'certain requirements' would ever happen in a comprehensive amnesty bill, but that's not important for pollsters trying to prove Americans love amnesty. A simple follow-up about the type of requirements people are imagining would be informative and might destroy the entire narrative; naturally, that's never asked. The point is that even though these results are being sold as indicating public support for amnesty, in actuality the poll may indicate something quite different. If mass legalization were so popular it would have happened under [president GWBush=Shrub]. Or under [president Barack Hussein Obummer]. But it was rejected twice despite a whopping $1.5G being spent by lobbyists between 2008 and 2012. Any lobbyist confused about why amnesty hasn't happened should stop reading flawed push polls."

Obummer/Johnson DHS proposes new regulations to "parole" applicants to enter and set up shop in USA without passing a proper background investigation, without investing enough to build and get the permits and pay the fees normally required to open a burger stand
"...if they can't figure it out they should not be allowed to stay in the USA. The use of the word *stay* above is deliberate. This program is not for able business people who live in other countries, it is for aliens who have already been in the USA for several years and who want to (and apparently have failed to) figure out how our immigration system works, hence my term, inept. I will get back to that point momentarily. But first, let's back up a bit. The 'parole' authority is for very special circumstances. For example, someone has an acute and unusual brain injury that can be fixed only in a USA hospital, not the ones in the home country; or, to use a different example, the person is needed to testify in a USA court case. It is not intended to cover whole classes of people. There is already a large collection of programs that could be used by a reasonably competent entrepreneur with a little imagination and one or more of these could be manipulated to secure a visa, though not all of the programs would benefit all of the entrepreneurs. There are the EB-5 immigrant investor program, the treaty trader and treaty investor programs, various loopholes in the H and L visa programs, some uses of the J-1 program, the O visas for the outstanding, the first and second parts of the Employment-Based Immigrant Programs, and I am sure others that I have missed. So the proposal is both needless and yet another effort by the [Obummer regime] to open every conceivable hole in the immigration control system.."

forged passports destined for ISIL/ ISIS/ Daesh/ IS/ caliphate operatives and alien smuggling plague Europe
"...Where American immigration policies are concerned, these are ominous developments (most especially the forged passports) for a number of reasons. First, we should not fool ourselves into thinking that there is some presto change-o! means by which government inspectors can immediately detect fraudulent documents. It is easy but naive to believe that, being forged, a travel document will inevitably result in the alien being detected and either turned around or held and prosecuted when he attempts entry. Not so. If, for instance, the document is a stolen but real blank among the thousands looted from Syrian passport offices, then if the identifying data and cachets are filled in by a reasonably competent forger, they can readily pass muster. The same can be said for using altered real (but stolen) passports in which the presenter is essentially engaging in identity theft. If the scrutiny is hasty, particularly in the hustle and bustle of modern international ports of entry such as JFK during peak flight arrival times, the individual can easily get away with it..."

Vladimir Putin, Hitlery Rotten Clinton and the guns of August
"...Maybe it's the heat, but there's something about the eighth month that seems to inspire armed conflict. Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait in 1990 August. The collapse of the Soviet Union began with a coup attempt against Mikhail Gorbachev in 1991 August. Reports of North VietNamese attacks against USA destroyers in the Gulf of Tonkin in 1964 August gave president Lyndon Johnson the pretext to win broad congressional approval for an expansion of the war. Adolf Hitler readied the invasion of Poland in August 1939 and attacked on Sept. 1. And now, as Russian president Vladimir Putin masses more than 40K Russian troops near the Ukrainian border, we once again hold our breath during the last full month of summer. Mr. Putin has already annexed Crimea and holds sway over large areas of eastern Ukraine. He has recently ordered stepped-up military and naval exercises in the eastern Mediterranean and Black Sea. And he has accused Ukrainians of 'terrorism', presumably as a pretext for more aggressive Russian action..."

Wesley Pruden _Jewish World Review_
the endless war against the Jews
"The man who controls the language controls the conversation, as Orwell rightly observed. The word that the left is trying, with a certain success, to appropriate now is 'genocide'. Genocide is what Hitler set out to do, to exterminate Europe's Jews (and who knows where his evil ambition would have gone from there). The manifesto of the Black Lives Matter move ment, with the connivance of intellectually slovenly academics, applies 'genocide' to Israeli self-defense [against attacks from] Gaza=Palestine. There's neither logic nor data to prove it. 'Between 1939 and 1945', wrote Joseph Telushkin in the Tablet, an online magazine, 'one-third of the Jewish people in the world were murdered. That was genocide. And since Israel took control of the [Eastern Israel and Palestine=Gaza] in 1967 [as a result of a] war of self-defense, the Arab population in these two areas has gone from just over 1M to 4M. That is not genocide. It's a population explosion.'... Until now the Jew-baiters tried to camouflage their game, being careful to say they weren't talking about the Jews, just the Zionists, the Jews who wanted to build and protect a Jewish homeland. When a black student at Har vard tried this line on Martin Luther King, he was having none of it. 'When people criticize Zionists', he told him, 'they mean Jews. You're talking anti-Semitism.'..."

"First, Trist's early dispatches indicated that the Mexicans remained intractable. One method of convincing them that he meant to have his way was to abandon the negotiations while continuing to pursue a military solution. Second, as Scott's army advanced Polk began to reconsider his own earlier thinking. Influenced by Secretary of the Treasury Robert Walker, a southern expansionist, and Secretary of State Buchanan, he now wondered whether it might not be wise to take all of Northern Mexico down to the 26th parallel instead of stopping just below San Diego. Third, the cordiality that existed between Scott and Trist worried Polk, who, a frequent conspirator himself, forever worried about political conspiracies. Trist received his letter of recall on 1847 November 18, at a moment when it seemed that a successful negotiation was in the offing. Nevertheless, he prepared to leave and would have done so but for the importunings of Scott, the British charge, and other foreign as well as Mexican observers, who thought he might be throwing away the only chance for peace. These people feared that if Trist left, the war would continue, and the extremists who wanted to carry on the war at all costs would take power. The United States would then be tied down in Mexico indefinitely, winning battles but unable to secure a settlement. Persuaded by these arguments and his own first-hand experience, Trist violated his instructions, entering into negotiations with the Mexican government." --- Gerard Clarfield 1992 _US Diplomatic History to 1914; From Revolution to Empire_ pp163-166

"Unlike Islamic societies, where religion was in principle supreme & the ideal government that of the holy men, Christianity, craving imperial tolerance, early made the distinction between God & Caesar. To each his own. This did not preclude misunderstandings & conflicts: nothing is so unstable as a dual supremacy: something's got to give. In the end, it was the Church, & this meant yielding to Caesar what was Caesar's & then a good part of what was God's. Among the things that gave, homogeneous orthodoxy: where authority is divided, dissent flourishes... Europe was spared the thought control that proved a curse in Islam." --- David S. Landes 1999 _The Wealth & Poverty of Nations_ pg 38
