FOR LIBERALS, IT’S NEVER TERRORISM IF AMERICA IS ATTACKED

Ever so often, the America-hating depravity of liberals is exposed with breathtaking clarity.  Normally, they try to hide their embarrassment at being an American.  Or they’ll get angrily defensive.  "Are you questioning my patriotism?" they’ll intimidatingly ask.  To which the answer is:  "I would if you had any patriotism to question."

They fudge and smudge over the fact that they are always on the side of America’s enemies.  They always blame America for any problem in the world, and root for America to lose in any conflict.

What they hide best is their secret admiration for Osama Bin Laden.  They (more…)

WHY IS AFRICA SO STUPID?

Earlier this month, on April 12, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice warmly welcomed the ruler of a small African country called Equatorial Guinea at the State Department.  "Thank you for your presence here," she told Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo.  "You are a good friend and we welcome you."

The colony of Spanish Guinea became independent in 1968, changed its name, and went straight to hell under a murderous dictatorship run by a monster named Fernando Macias, who slaughtered over a quarter of the country’s population to keep his power.

In 1979, Macias’ nephew and director of the Black Beach Prison (more…)

REVOLTING GENERALS

In every army, there are (a few) Grants and (many) McClellans. The key to success in war is to find and promote the Grants. Keep this in mind as you examine what Time magazine calls the "Revolt of the Generals."

Six retired Army and Marine generals have called for the resignation of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.  There are about 4,700 retired flag officers. For every general speaking out against Secretary Rumsfeld, there are more than 780 who are not.

Many who aren’t speaking out agree with the six, claimed the Washington Post’s David Ignatius in his column last Friday:

THE TORTURE OF TIBET

[To The Point salutes the courageous Chinese lady, Wenyi Wang, who publicly denounced Communist oppression in China to Hu Jintao at the White House yesterday, April 20. 

 

Hu Jintao governed Tibet for several years, brutally tyrannizing the Tibetan people.  One of those Tibetans is Phuntsog Nyidron, who tells her story here.  For information on how to help liberate Tibet, go to FreeTibet.org. —JW]

I was 19 years old when I made the protest that resulted in my imprisonment for 15 years. It happened in 1989, when my country, Tibet, was under martial law.

Together with a group of fellow Tibetan nuns, I went to the Barkhor area of central Lhasa, and we shouted, ‘Long live the Dalai Lama!’ and ‘Free Tibet.’ We had been inspired by the news that His Holiness the Dalai Lama had just won the Nobel Peace Prize, and we wanted to make a statement of our continued loyalty to him.
    

I did not experience freedom again until I (more…)

FORGET YOUR RIDE—PIMP YOUR WEB SERVICE

When it comes to the Web, dedicated search engines that only, well, search are out. These days, the focus is one-stop shopping-with a Web service.

The recipe is simple: Start by combining all kinds of search capability-general Web, desktop, image, and whatever else-in one spot. Stir in a bunch of free services like news, weather, and mapping.

Garnish with a generous supply of customization options-let users design their own homepages, drop the components they don’t want and add the ones they do, and more. Make it available for free and, voila!-an all-inclusive Web service, cooked to order.

THE FRAUD OF ANCHOR BABIES

The myth of Birthright Citizenship is one of the more extraordinary frauds committed in America today.

Liberals insist that the “Citizenship Clause” of the 14th Amendment – which states “All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside” – means that children of illegal aliens born on US soil automatically are US citizens.

The 14th Amendment means no such thing.  When it was ratified in 1868 to protect the rights of native-born Black Americans, whose rights were being denied (more…)

THE RFM REACTION

Ufda.  That’s Wow! in Swedish.  The reaction to the concept of a Radio Free Mexico has been amazing.  Yesterday (4/19), for example, I was interviewed on the Roger Hedgecock talk show in San Diego, and he was so excited about RFM he barraged me with questions:  Have you got your funding yet?  When will it be launched?  Do you have your programming lined up?

I had to explain to him:  "Roger – we only came up with this idea six days ago."  So let me give you an update.

RFM is forming a Board of Advisors, several of whom (more…)

Chapter Twenty-Five: PRISONER IN HIS PALACE

The Jade Steps

Chapter Twenty-Five:  Prisoner In His Palace 

As they were returning to their quarters in the Palace of Axayacatl, Cortez announced, "If we cannot yet say Mass and have a chapel upon that temple, then at least for now we must be able to do so where we are housed.  Doña Marina, please send a request to Montezuma asking that we be allowed to build this chapel in his father’s palace."

When word came quickly back that the request was granted, Cortez assigned his best carpenter, Alonso Yañez, to the task.  Early the next morning, Yañez, escorted by (more…)

PROJECT JAHANNAM

If you had bet $1000 on September 12, 2001 that four and a half years later there would not have been another such act of Moslem terrorism in America, with the odds the Vegas bookmakers would have given you you’d be a millionaire today.

This is not only the greatest achievement of the Bush presidency, it is the greatest mystery.  Why there hasn’t been a 9-11 repeat seems inexplicable. How has GW done it?

It could be something never mentioned or hinted at publicly, only covertly whispered into Islamist ears.  It’s called Project Jahannam.

Jahannam is the Arabic word (more…)

COMIC RELIEF IN TEHRAN

The Pentagon takes the military and terrorist threat of Iran extremely seriously.  Yet the brass in Rummy’s inner circle could not keep their faces straight with all the recent announcements from Tehran.

A week ago on April 7, the air force chief of Pasdaran, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, Gen. Hossein Salami, announced the successful firing of a stealth missile impossible to detect by radar, hailing the Fajr (Dawn) 3 as a "remarkable" achievement.

Turns out it was a primitive Shahab-2 copy of an unsophisticated Russian Scud-C.

Sunday April 9, the deputy naval commander of Pasdaran, Gen. Ali Fadavi announced the launching (more…)

‘YES WE CAN’ WHAT?

A To The Point Editorial

Why is it that the left always denounces people on the right for ‘wrapping themselves in the American flag,’ and is so fond of saying ‘patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels’ – and then celebrates this same behavior when performed by illegal aliens?

The giant pro-illegal immigration rallies of Monday April 10 in many US cities have got to be the greatest exercises of phony flag waving in the history of America.  And newspapers like the Washington Post promoted it to the hilt, with front page pictures of demonstrators waving a sea of American (more…)

FRANKENSTEIN’S COMPUTER?

I am not a Mac user, although I have several friends who are.  I must admit the Mac interface is sleeker, the box more beautiful, and the software that comes with the Mac better integrated.

However third party software is in short supply, and Apple development environments are simply not up to Microsoft standards.

Mac’s vaunted security, in my opinion, stems from its 4% of the market. Hackers don’t get the ‘bang for the buck’ in creating nasties for it as they do with Windows.  Furthermore, businesses rarely use Macs, and for professional identity thieves, Windows attacks are much more (more…)

CHINESE EASTER BUNNIES

Next week Thursday, April 20, four days after what many Christians consider their holiest day, Easter, and celebrate the resurrection of Christ, President Bush will meet with Hu Jintao, President of Communist China, in the White House.

The purpose of the meeting is being billed as an attempt to settle "trade differences" between the US and China.  Bush may very well wheedle some minor trade concessions out of Hu, which will be piddling in terms of coming remotely close to correcting the gargantuan trade deficit we have with China.

Bush may also attempt to extract a concession from Hu regarding (more…)

HOW TO SPOT AN ILLEGAL ALIEN A MILE AWAY

There’s a cheap and easy way for anyone protecting the US-Mexico border from the alien invasion – such as the Minutemen – to spot an illegal a mile away.  So if you know any Minutemen, feel free to forward this to them.

For here’s how they can make their own Illegal Alien Detector.

Industrial microwave burglar alarms, used to cover a large area such as a warehouse, cost less than 100 bucks.  They are considered an obsolete technology, replaced by photoelectric beams or infrared motion detectors.  (It’s because the latter’s protection area is confined by walls and glass;  as microwaves (more…)

RADIO FREE MEXICO

One of the most basic lessons we should have learned during the Cold War is the failure of the policy of Containment.  Originally formulated by George Kennan’s famous "X" article in 1947, Containment formed the basis of American foreign policy towards the Soviet Union until the Reagan Presidency.

While a considerable advance over the previous policy of appeasement, Containment was essentially a defensive doctrine, the purpose of which was to prevent the Soviets from scoring goals on the US, i.e., expanding the Soviet Empire.  It timidly abjured trying to score goals on the Soviets, i.e., liberate Soviet colonies.

Ronald Reagan (more…)
