Ivy League, Killer Satellites, and Attack on Mac

Ivy League Populism:

Obama, Clinton, hell for that matter every Democrat, are telling us that the American Dream is dying, or is dead already. But where did it go, and who took it?

Victor Davis Hanson writes about the hypocrisy of the Left for living the American Dream, while scaring others into believing that the dream is going the way of the dodo. The Obama’s are sterling examples of the unlimited possibilities in America, yet they somehow want to deny America’s greatest:

Obama's and Clinton: We Got Ours, But You Don't Stand A Chance

The Democrats “haves and have nots" way of thinking, the strategy of pitting Americans against each other, will only lead to further divisiveness. Hardly a message of hope and change.

McCain: The Return of Yellow Journalism

The New York Times, the paper of record in America (their claim, not mine) has published one of the most poorly supported front-page allegations I have every read. It is not only yellow journalism at its worse, but the article wouldn’t even receive a passing grade in a Journalism 101 class.

I did not provide a link to the story because it’s not needed, the story is everywhere. If anyone doubts the integrity of the media, do a Google search on “McCain New York Times.” The lines have been drawn by the media, they quickly throughout Hillary with the bath water, Obama is their boy now. In a week where Michelle Obama’s un-American comments get little to no attention by the main media, a possible 10 year old, unsubstantiated rumor gets a front-page byline and 30 minutes on the morning “news” shows.

Way to go 4th Estate!


Navy Shoots Down Own Spy Satellite: Its George Bush’s Fault

Most of us woke up this morning to learn that the US Navy successfully shot down that spy satellite that was falling to Earth:



Direct hit, first shot, center mass into the fuel tank. What most of you didn’t hear was that this was all made possible because of the advance missile defense/shield technology that has flourished under the Bush administration. What you did read are headlines like these:

US Missile Hits “Toxic Satellite (BBC)”
Goodbye Spy Satellite, Does Anyone Know the Price Tag (Washington Post)
China and Russia Cry Foul (Times Online – UK)
Missile Strike on Satellite Seen as Ominous (Fort Worth Star) – I rather like this headline.

Trust me, if we had missed our target the news would have played up the millions of dollars that have been “wasted” on missile shield technology.
