To Mr. Kimball and Alcuin #12

What was the beach the Australians stormed on D-day?

I asked the Australians, and they responded thusly: http://www.awm.gov.au/atwar/remembering1942/dday/index.asp

And good on them for the support roles they played…but I asked them about this “British and American paratroopers” but no reply, so I googled and got this:

Son of a gun, who’d a guessed it?

And on dial-up.

This may explain why the left is so irritable about having the Ten Commandments posted where people will see them. Whittaker Chambers said “The Communist vision is the vision of man without God.” Mr. Thomas shows that liberalism, progressivism, socialism or whatever the left wants to call itself, shares that vision with Communism, which which it also shares its historical roots.

I’ve been mocking the birth-certificate conspiracists for months now, but suddenly I think they might be onto something. Could perhaps the media church be trying to disguise their Lord’s own Immaculate Conception? After all, to be President, even God would have to be a natural-born U.S. Citizen.

You are correct. It (”1984″ released in 1985) is available on Youtube here:

and it is worth the watch. This version on Youtube is without the awful Eurythmics music foisted on the film when it first came out (making it basically a platform for a music video).

Obama’s immodesty is strange, and dangerous.

Cristina, it’s called replacement theology. If God is dead, then anyone can be made into a neogod. BTW, speaking of strange, it’s rather strange that he capitalized “God”. Maybe he was trying to replace the God of Israel with Obama, but I suspect that he was just so poor in his use of the English language that he didn’t understand the difference between “God” and “god”.

Such is the media elite…

[...] on D-Day: good cartoon. I thought Sarkozy gave the better, more meaningful speech, while Obama was simply continuing his perpetual campaign. Read Brits at their Best as they recall [...]

It is sad that Peggy Noonan and Kathleen Parker have become Pod People too.
