How does a democrat tick?
Democrats are into politics for the sole purpose of obscuring the definition of morality, and passing subsequent laws that make morality illegal in the United States. Democrats want all lights to be green and let everyone fend for themselves at the intersections. Because of the irresponsible and inconsiderate lifestyle of this misrepresentation ...

The Great Game -- Anglo Amero Brits and Kamchatka!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waziristan Honestly, I do not know why it is, that I both love to read Christopher Hitchens every week, and disagree with his every point almost without exception. Maybe it is his ''the sun never sets on the British Empire'' world girdling perapatetic meanderings around the World Map of Current Events and political ...

Turks - New Applicants to NATO - Fear Women's Head Scarves?
Speaking plain American English, I would say that any Western, Modern Government that can be brought down by women wearing head scarves, quite honestly deserves it's fate. This goes for Turkey, for Germany, and for France, too. How far does this anti-Moslem, anti-Arabia, anti-Religion and anti-Tradition Modernist Feminist conceit of our dopey, ...

Hitch, The Brits Started This Mess, Along With Reagan

Yet he dates this Iraqi Twin War Conflict only to 2003? ...

Iraq: Failure, mistake, or Success?
Much has been stated about the fact that we were wrong to enter Iraq. That success is measured by how quickly we can get out of Iraq. Consider this: Iraq is in the heart of what most extremist Muslims consider holy ground. By attacking Iraq we attacked the heart of what the extremist Muslim holds dear. They have responded in force. Millions of ...

Kenya Part of the US "Great Game" in Africa
The conundrum of Africa's seemingly unending instability and conflicts resides in the origin, composition, and legacy of the African nation states and their colonial overlords. After defeating various peoples and defining their political and geographic circumstances based on all kinds of conflicting and questionable interests, the colonial ...

Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Western Civilization
Whenever I read Christopher Hitchens, I learn a few lessons. In this case, Hitch upheld The Netherlands/Dutch as historically heroic for, among other things, offering refuge to Spinoza's family. Who knew? Unfortunately, when reading Hitchens, I always come across masterfully artful examples of his selective Polemics - (argumentative techniques.) ...
