I’m Mad As Hell And I’m Not Going to Take It Anymore!

Thanks to the Anchoress!  Read here.

Rick Santelli’s right-on diatribe should have Americans opening their windows and yelling:

“I’m Mad As Hell And I’m Not Going to Take It Anymore!”

Rick Santelli:

“How about this, President – New Administration: Why don’t you put up a website to ask people to vote on the internet as a referendum to find out if we really want to subsidize the losers’ mortgages, or would we would we at least buy cars and buy houses in foreclosure and give them to people who might actually prosper down the road and reward people that could carry the water rather than just drink the water.”

In response to cheers and applause,  Santelli declares: “This is America!  … President Obama are you listening?!”

Rick Santelli then adds:  What we are doing in this country,  right now,  is making the Founding Fathers roll over in their graves.



When Is Security Not?

by

Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), the chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee spilt the beans. Predator strikes on Taliban and al-Qaeda targets are launched from where, Class?  The answer, as the world now knows,  is Pakistan.  The trouble with keeping our senators informed on national security issues is they talk too much.  The media isn’t supposed to be in the classified loop,  but senators do want to appear in the media as well informed.  Oops!

In a World of Soundbites

by

In a world of soundbites and video-clips with the mainstream media supplying morsels of immoral madness and pathetic pop-psychology for quick, thoughtless, consumption,  is it any wonder that so many are lost?  I ask how culpable am I?  Do “the many” even know when they’re off track or even lost?  I don’t know about you, but I have little clue where even those close to me have wandered.   As far as I can tell,  they are all  well meaning.  Is “well meaning” enough to inherit eternity?   It’s the old thing of , if  you aren’t growing, you are dying.   Misled means spiritually unfed.  Anyway, that’s the way it seems to me.  My hope is, “He knows how we are formed;  He remembers that we are dust.’ Psalm 103:14.

From the Gospel for the day:

When Jesus disembarked and saw the vast crowd, His heart was moved with pity for them, for they were like sheep without a shepherd;and He began to teach them many things.  Mark 6:34

Is it any wonder that we, along with our children,  move the heart of God to pity?  Hope, though, is all around us.  The Church is at prayer.  When I go off to Mass each day,  I can look forward to hearing soundbites of true substance, sanity and solace.

Krauthammer Setting the Record Straight

by

While the Iraq vote went on relatively quietly with hardly a cheer from the media, it is well worth noting that it is a credit not only to the Iraqi people and U.S. troops but also to the vision of President George W. Bush who had the nerve to stay the coarse.  President Obama let the event pass without fanfare but our people and country deserves more than that for democracy being hard won in the Middle East is a precious and rare commodity.

What President Obama did do is set himself up as the New Great Hope for U.S./Muslim politics as if the hand of diplomacy were never before persistently offered and American blood never shed for those beyond our borders.  Thank God and Charles Krauthammer for setting  the American record straight here in the face of anti-American naysayers and detractors.  In a few short, sweet and concise paragraphs,  he  gave credit were credit is due.  The truth is the best thing for this country and Obama owes that to us regardless of the image he wants to project to the world at large.  Thanks again, Mr. Krauthammer.
