If a Tree Falls in the Forest is it Bush’s Fault
Friday, August 13th, 2010One of the interesting facts of history is that Churchill never blamed Chamberlain for his woes in assuming office in 1940. This is an interesting fact since the situation that Great Britain found itself could very easily be put at the door of Neville Chamberlain’s policy of appeasement.
I bring this up because it shows the [...]
Some thoughts for the Week End
Friday, July 23rd, 2010Until Shirley Sharrod opened her mouth she actually had my sympathy. I wrote yesterday about my initial feelings. But Ms. Sharrod then went on the interview circuit and denounced the usual suspects, Fox News and Anrew Breitbart for all her troubles.
Strange. We now have the internal memos from Fox News that they were actually leery [...]
Check The Facts
Thursday, July 22nd, 2010I have always had the opinion that when I hear a story that seems too good to be true I should check it out even more that usual.
Thus when I heard the latest about Sharrod making what seemed to be racist remarks I held my piece. At first glance I understood that the woman was [...]
The Abuse of Language
Sunday, July 18th, 2010When I was in high school I got arrested at an illegal demonstration. I believe that we were protesting for the right to sleep in a park or some such dumb things.
When my parents came to bail me out of the jail I referred to the Miami-Dade police as a group of fascists. My mother [...]
A Further Thought on Greed
Thursday, July 15th, 2010Looking over my last post there is something that I feel that I did not make quite clear. The fact is that I do not regard businesses as intrinsically good or bad. A business has one goal. That is to make a profit.
This is different from government. A government is not interested in profit. Ony [...]
The Benefits of Greed
Monday, July 12th, 2010One of the major misconceptions is that the “robber barons” were simply greedy men who preyed on the common people. While it is true that they were greedy, they saw that the way to their wealth was to produce a product that the common people would want.
Let’s ask an obvious question. How did it come [...]
Why Do They Rage?
Sunday, November 29th, 2009One of the interesting things that has happened is that the intellectual elites have not yet gotten over Sarah Palin. They rant and rave about how she is not all that bright or that she is dangerous, or both.
I guess that since they do not have President Bush to blame for all that is evil [...]
A Problem of the Left
Tuesday, November 17th, 2009One of the real problems of the Left is that it cannot identify evil. The excuses now being given for the evil that was committed by Hasan at Fort Hood is not abnormal for the Left.
Just some thoughts on this.
I remember back when Calley had been accused of committing a massacre in Vietnam. Like most [...]
Who is the Practicing the Politics of Destruction?
Sunday, March 8th, 2009Recently I got into an online discussion concerning an article that was written about Rush Limbaugh, that appeared in the NY Times. The article was extremely nasty and when read it showed that the author had not really listened to the show. He made the usual snide remarks that people who do not listen to [...]
About the Author: Shlomo Bar-Ayal is an Israeli-American, or an American-Israeli (I could never get that right) who is unabashedly pro-Israel, pro-US and a great guy.
He has an open mind to opinions that he agrees with.
As you can see from the picture he is also a rather handsome fellow. If he can ever get his picture on the blog!
Besides blogging on whatever he feels like blogging about on any given day he enjoys learning Talmud, davening, being the candyman in his synagogue, smoking his tobacco pipe, and partaking in an adult beverage every now and then
