What George Will Could Learn From 'Wild Bill' Corson

By Norm Hapke "I wish George Will had adopted the approach that Bill Corson took. Finding our way forward entails looking at our options dispassionately and carefully without blame or recrimination or trying to score points in the political arena. I don't know which way forward is best but I don't think conservatives serve our country by being reflexively on one side or the other. However, if we stay in Afghanistan, I'm heartened to see that Gen's Jones, Petraeus, and McCrystal show that they have read Bill Corson's book."

Why Libya Welcomed Megrahi

WSJ Online "The misperception of both the circumstances that led to Mr. Megrahi's release and the reception he received upon his arrival in Libya has reopened painful wounds for the families of those lost in the Lockerbie tragedy.

What We Are Learning About the Era of Obama

by Victor Davis Hanson "...a right-wing African-American is considered inauthentic; but a liberal African-American is deserving of reparations. A black Reaganite who grew up under Jim Crow in the South and overcame vile racism to become a professional is now considered less “black” than someone near-white, who grew up in the 1960s North, and received identity-politics deference. No, minority has not much to do any more with racial discrimination, but everything to do with careerism and politics."

Parents upset over 'leftist propaganda' video

Salt Lake Trib ""It's very inappropriate to show a radical, leftist propaganda piece that political to children," Ruzicka said.

Too Old for Pain Meds

American Thinker "Now, I need to tell you that your mother's pain medication will have to be purchased by you, as Medicare will not pay for these, as your mother is too old. Thinking I heard the man wrong, I asked him, Did I hear you correctly? Did I hear you say my mother is too old for pain medication following surgery?
