Geoffrey Wheatcroft recently attempted to review a book about the relationship between Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan and revealed himself to be at best a confused and ignorant man and at worst a Liberal jackass willing to stoop to very low levels indeed in trying to lead readers astray (and against the two great anglo [...]

Reagan at Reykjavik: A God-like Performance
Posted in American Manifesto, First Principles, Ronald Reagan, tagged Gorbachev, nuclear disarmament, Reagan, Reykjavik on October 21, 2011 | 3 Comments »
I stumbled across a no-nukes website and read an essay lamenting the “lost opportunity” of the 1986 Reagan/Gorbachev summit in Reykjavik. Such wrong-headed or blind-spot interpretations of Reagan’s actions must be corrected, and so I commented as shown below. Your analysis erroneously and dangerously compartmentalizes the proceedings in Rehkjavik as though an agreement of bilateral [...]
Obama Delusions
Posted in Professional, Not, Ronald Reagan, tagged amoeba, Lincoln, obama, Reagan on August 18, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Mr. Obama is still at it, trying to name-drop the greatest Presidents in history as if he stands among them. A few months ago he was dropping Ronald Reagan’s name all over the place, and now he’s stuck his foot in his mouth and compared his travails to those of Abraham Lincoln, saying — can [...]
Naval Power: China Rising, USA in Decline

Have you ever watched a horror movie, or a disaster movie, and found comfort in the fact that it was only Hollywood, and not the real thing? Unfortunately for us and freedom-loving peoples around the world, the nightmare of the Obama presidency is real; not a movie, and not a nightmare we can wake up [...]
Hating on Palin Drives Liberals to Extremes
Posted in Ronald Reagan, tagged Bill Keller, Palin, Reagan on June 18, 2011 | 2 Comments »
The level of hate by the Liberal media towards Sarah Palin is sometimes comical and noteworthy, such as when the condition is so bad they resort to praising Ronald Reagan. Behold the words of a columnist for the Sunday NYT Magazine: Reagan, though, had a depth of experience, an underestimated grasp of issues, a gift [...]
As Goes St. Petersburg…
Posted in Central Planning Failures, Ronald Reagan, tagged Iron Curtain, obama, Ronald Reagan, Russia, St. Petersburg, USSR, White Nights on June 3, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
The litany of central planning failures never ends, and neither, apparently, does the need to remind Liberal doofuses chasing Utopia of the litany of central planning failures. Today’s installment comes amidst a nice piece on the “White Nights” of St. Petersburg in Russia: In St. Petersburg, the grand city of the czars, they call them [...]
Shoulders of Giants

In many respects, but particularly in military matters, President [sic] Obama is a Lilliputian standing on the shoulders of giants, namely George Bush and Ronald Reagan (a Giant among Giants). The termination of Bin Laden is an unqualified success and should be celebrated, and mr. Obama deserves some credit for the action. But it is [...]
The Reagan legacy is impervious to tarnish

…though many will continue to try to cut it down with their plastic sporks. In the NYT magazine last weekend, Mr. Eugene Jarecki sought to fire his pee shooter at Dutch with comments like this one: He presented himself as the friend to Main Street America, and yet that aw-shucks persona ended up packaging policies [...]
Dumbest Comment of the Year Goes to…
Posted in Professional, Not, Ronald Reagan, tagged Michael Kinsley, Ronald Reagan on February 5, 2011 | 1 Comment »
…Michael Kinsley!! He just wrote this in a recent piece about the Savior of The Free World: Reagan was a nice enough man — but a terrible president. There you have it, your winner for 2011. There will be other dumb comments made by Liberals this year, but none will surpass Mike’s crown jewel of [...]
