Comment Hawaii and Alaska (Score 1) 140

Some folks HAVE to use the USPS. Particularly for those of us in Hawai'i (and Alaska), UPS/FEDEX/DHL are insanely expensive. And yes, when an on-line seller won't use the USPS, we just don't do business with them. I can rant for hours about how good Amazon (gasp!) is with USPS shipping, and how bad their "partners" are because most refuse to use USPS.

Journal Journal: Political Correctness

9/13/05 -- I have been reading about the Venona decrypts and the extent of Communist influence in the US in the 1930's onward. The best quote I've seen on the modern manifestation of classic propaganda (the term "political correctness" was used regularly by the Communist party) comes from this excellent interview with Dalrymple:

9/13/05 -- Another thing to add to that email that was sent out to 98 of the 100 senators. The land grab has already started in Hawaii, and the LAW ISN'T EVEN PASSED YET! Native groups are setting up their legal machines and have taken out advertisements in island newspapers calling for revokation of all land titles, and return of all lands to the king (whoever he is). The people planning this land grab are also

Interesting clash of issues. A candidate
for president in Ukraine is poisoned with
dioxin and survives! They dosed him
maximally, but he lives. This puts the
whole myth of dioxin in a big hole and
dumps on the dirt. During the big "scare"
over dioxin over the last few decades
scientists admitted that it was a
poison, but NO ONE has been able
to link it to cancer, except the
journalists and scaremongers. Now
we find that it isn't such a vi

Journal Journal: Oh, The IRONY of It All!

November 12, 2004

Looking over the election results and the post-election whining from the Dems, leads me to observe a huge irony here.

The left-wing Dems are very proud of the fact that they could help bring about the defeat of the US in Viet Nam. They love to point out the "facts" as this:

I recently recalled that I had read these notes BEFORE 9/11. Sure enough, the retirement speech of Marine Corps General Zinni, given in 2000, forshadowed 9/11 with sad accuracy. Who was listening in 2000? Who was president? Hands up, students, come on.....

Isn't it odd that 3 years after taking office, the press still refers to "Mr. Bush", but 3 years after leaving office they still refer to "President Clinton". No bias, huh?

We are in a war. We were attacked big-time 2 years ago. We have been attacked in the past, and we will be attacked again in the future.

To put this in perspective, think about the 2 major enemies we had in the mid-20th century war. What Japan and Germany wanted was a US that was a slave state. They wanted our wealth, both in resources and our hard-working citizens. Their view was strategic and world domination was the goal.
