What do you expect when flying has become such a hassle? Reactive security doesn't do it. Making everyone virtually naked doesn't do it. Standing in lines and being treated like cattle being sent to the slaughter house doesn't do it. It would have to be a very serious situation to coaxe me on a plane today.

It is extremely unfortunate that the cultural aspect of Christmas is lost on some school administrators. By outlawing Christmas trees she is allowing a cultural void to be created in her school. She obviously doesn't want any trouble from recalcitrant parties who are more aware of their rights than their duties. However there are times such as these to be firm in protection of American culture. Anyone that says Christmas is not a cultural icon in the US is fooling thenselves. It is the basis of fully 25% of consumer sales every year for instance. This principal should have stood her ground against troublemakers.

The most important thing the President will be accomplishing and the one that will live on in effect for many years after his return to private life is the quashing of the exceptionalism myth. The President by mentioning the mistakes or misbegotten American policies of the past is telling everyone that we are like all other nations, prone to error. At least by making this clear the US can move forward without the albatross of exceptionalism to colour every egregious policy and action with a coating of beneficence as if anything done by the US, no matter how deleterious to the world must be good because we are exceptional. No more of that foolishness, it's time for reality to set in.

It takes two to tango. The various government need to want to be corrupted for corruption to occur. Zionist lobbyists seem to control both the US and Canadian governments but it need not be that way. Zionism is not Judaism and squelching Zionist power in North America by whatever means necessary to protect our countries is not anti-semitic in the least. Zionism is a political movement it is not religious and don't let these lobbyists attempt to make it otherwise. We must do what we can to alleviate a misbegotten power from our midst.
