Promachus - May 2007

Deliver us from evil

May 26th 2007 10:33

So, now we get the news that the leader who promised to deliver us all from the best economy in decades, a job market that is freer than it's ever been into the pwoer of power-hungry unions and bureaucracies, the hero's wife is raking in the millions. It's amazing how typical Kevin Rudd is of a new wave of liberal leaders iinternationally. ALl of them suffer from the same delusions and the same hypocrisy.

Hyperventillate on climate change. Check. Shed crocodile tears about poverty while possessing millions. Check.

Take John Edwards for isntance. He turns every opportunity , from wife's cancer to opponent's insults into an advertismetn for asking money for campaign. He recently was paid 55,000$ by a university for talking about poverty. Guess what this trial lawyer did for learning about poverty? Worked for a hedge fund where he made millions!

The same goes on for other silver spooners like Barak Osama and John Kerry. They live in some superduper stratospheric state and look down upon mere mortals and decide throw a few pearls or pork chops to soothe their conscience.

The day when they stop ruining our lives to assuage thier consciences is the day there will be finally peace on earth.

Sharks pounce on Paul Wolfowitz

May 15th 2007 10:37

Earlier this afternoon, Google flashed the first news about the Wolfowitz affair, the results of the World Bank inquiry against him which were leaked to the Press. It must have been late evening in the US. The verdict was against Wolfowitz but it was supposed to be released tomorrow. I have been taking Wolfowitz's side for some time now and I was dispirited to hear that new evidence cropped up against him.I hurriedly checked conservative blogs and their silence seemed ominous.

But, now it must be late night in the US but both the Wall Street Journal and the American Thinker have come up strongly in support of the matter. It seems the latest round of selective press leaks is as bogus as the rest of this whipped-up controversy..

By tomorrow, Paul Wolfowitz maybe gone. All this is happening because of tacit support of the Democrats in the US. They might just wish to spite the neocons whom theyhate so much. But, the result of the matter will be far worse.

Hitchens and WSJ speculate that this putsch is being carried out by European politicians who want to dethrone US from the long-held tradition that the World Bank president will be a US national. But, they are not connecting the dots. There is now a serious movement underway for what's been called transnational progressivism. Now that the US has decisively moved to the Right, it can no longer be allowed to man these supra-national organizations. Now that the politics of the Left have been definitely defeated at the national level, they are moving to where into these unaccountable, bureaucratic but international insititutions and if the US is cowed down, it is only a matter of time before the rest of us will be made to buckle under them.

If the UN bureaucrats decide global warming is true, then its true. It will produce a bogus report made by the ideological zealots and truth be damned and all of have will have to bear the effects. And if any official believes in reforming them, ridding them of corruption, make them accountable, then they will do to him what they did to Wolfowitz. So slowly, the national governments will be brought to heel, one by one. Only democracies which provide the chance to alternative viewpoints will have anything to lose under these systems. The tyrants and the corrupt will flourish.

Welcome to the brave new world !

She's barren, that's true, so what's the problem?

May 3rd 2007 06:35

Hey. There's a lot of self-righteous chest beating over Senator Bill Heffernan's remarks that Juila Guillard is unfit for leadership becasue she is barren. I don't see why. The senator is entitled to his viewpoint and frankly, it is a valid point in some ways. I don't agree with it but that doesn't mean that it should be tossed out altogether from the public discussion. Leadership is after all about choices and the lifestyle choices of the person do show what the person is about, how trustworthy he or she is and all. If Julia Guillard has intentionally opted not to have children, I applaud her for that. That's her decision, for sure but she can't ask others not to consider that fact in their decision making whether to choose her as their leader or not. Bareen is not an epithet or a racial slur, it's a fact.

Leaders in public sphere inspire others to imitate them. So if a major woman leader in the country doesn't want children by choice, that does inspire other women in the country to make a similar decision. This might be inconsequential for some and profound for others. Therefore, it is a legitimate talking point. Julia shouldn't try to brush the comments away; instead she should explain why she made the decision she made and whether she would like other women to follow her lead.

The liberals are moaning that this remark has diverted the attention from the bad policies announced by the Labour team. Well, so why are they fanning it and hoisting their own petard? They should have simply said that they disagree with the remark (if they do) and get on with focusing on the incompetence of the Labour agenda.

This incident also shows the double standards of the left wing politicans in general. Condi Rice has been attacked for being childless by Barbara Boxer and others and for being a "brown sugar". But when it comes to them they can hide conveniently behind their sense of victimology. The country should elect them because somebody said something mean about them; the fact that their policies are inane doesn't matter at all.

Momentum builds up in the War on Terror

May 1st 2007 19:37

What an extraordinary week it's turning out to be! Around 120 people arrested in Saudi Arabia and terrorist attacks of 9/11 magnitude thwarted. Dirty bomb plots unearthed in London and many suspects either arrested or tried and convicted. Things turning around Anbar province, long the hellhole of Iraq, so dramatically that even the NYT has to recognise it. And now the news that Al-Qaeda head in Iraq has been killed by Sunni groups which only makes it better becuase it shows the terrorists and tribal leaders alliances are splintering.

Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi has not yet sent the Iraq Withdrawal Bill for the President to veto. Maybe she wants to clutch to the only legislation that she has been able to see pass under her watch and one that will be given partial birth abortion by the President's veto pen
