With apologies to Max Ehrmann, who wrote the original text in Desiderata in 1927, “whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the communist plan for New Zealand is unfolding as it should”. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the failure of law and order and the political perversion of the police, […]
If Jimmy Shaw suddenly became leader of National there would be an outcry from the party’s supporters. The man in the street supporter that is. The hard core of the party, the same people who have let it drift steadily left for forty years, would probably be flat out on Kiwiblog and other social media […]
If you’re a believer in reason, you would no doubt be left speechless by the torrent of nonsense that is the accepted public discourse today. The term “speechless” is chosen specifically here. What does one say that can have any impact upon the overwhelming onslaught of Alice in Wonderland style absurdity that is currently being […]

The way I see it is that if a guy wants to kill Americans and attack the American Constitution, even if he was born in America, he has no business asking to be protected by a legal system that has that Constitution as its basis.
Ron Paul is wrong on this. Furthermore it goes further even than how Gingrich portrays it, (although I am sure he did not really mean to imply any official recognition of the guy as a soldier.)
The dead guy was not really engaging in an “act of war”. There is no official war. The guy killed was a terrorist fighting for a foreign terrorist group and therefore is operating outside the legal structure within the US.
And being a terrorist he is not even due the protection of the Geneva convention, which should only cover the armed forces who have signed up to that convention.
This guy’s only ambition was to kill Americans and engage in terror, and that he was killed by Americans before he could realise that ambition is a good thing.
Terrorists fighting on foreign soil and trying to destroy the US and its Constitution deserve only death. To say such scum deserve the protection of the Constitution is crazy.

Mark Levin has Mr. Gingrich scheduled for late in his show today, Wed, 11/16.
I’m dying to hear him ask Newt “Do you believe that CO2 is a pollutant?”
And then, should the answer be in the negative, the money question followup: “How do you plan on ending EPA’s insistence that it is?”
I asked that on my blog these be asked at Saturday’s debate, but they never were.
I asked Mr. Levin on my blog last night.
And now I’m mentioning it here, before I have a chance to get through to the show. I don’t need to be the one to get through to ask it. Any red-blooded conservative who’s frustrated by all the BS in these run-up to the GOP primaries shows can try to get Mr. Levin to put Newt on the spot. Then does Mr. Levin have the nads? Or is he really just another poseur who makes money selling books that are attractive to conservatives, but are only hollow words coming from the likes of him?
Mr. Levin is the current fire-breathing conservative talker. But he appears to be just an act with every opportunity he “somehow” misses. This line of questioning ought to come to his own mind without any prompting from me or any conservative.
And then if Newt says he’ll reign in EPA, I bet you’d like Mr. Levin to ask, “How do we know you won’t behave like Julia Gillard after you’re elected?”
