Gustav’s “Cat Five” Political Spin

Christopher G. Adamo — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 11:17:16 +0000

Despite dire warnings that Hurricane Gustav might exceed the 2005 Hurricane Katrina nightmare in terms of damage, lives lost, and overall intensity, this latest storm to strike the Gulf Coast was barely a Category Two by the time it made landfall. Perhaps more significantly, it missed New Orleans by seventy miles which resulted in far less damage to that city. (more…)

A New “Cold War” Looms

Christopher G. Adamo — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 10:48:10 +0000

Russian President Dimitri Medvedev has floated a not-so-subtle warning of Russia and the West descending into a new “Cold War,” the blame for which he places, in traditional Russian fashion, squarely on America. As a follow up, Vladimir Putin has since hinted at the possibility of a direct conflict between Russian and American naval forces in the Black Sea. If these events of the past few weeks are a reliable indication, the world may indeed see a replay of the harrowing years of Soviet aggression. (more…)

Defining Good and Evil In 2008 America

Christopher G. Adamo — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 12:58:18 +0000

When asked by Rick Warren at the Saddleback forum about his beliefs on when human life begins, Democrat Presidential wannabe Barack Obama obfuscated, finally responding that the answer is “above my pay grade.” Obama apparently hoped to at once avoid criticism from any who would disagree with him if he got specific, while attempting to claim the moral “high ground” on the basis that he would leave such decisions to a higher authority.

In truth, Obama accomplished neither. Hardly offering a nuanced answer, the Illinois Senator was spotlighting his consistent unwillingness to recognize the humanity of the unborn. And by so doing, he was making an absolute moral determination that the littlest and most helpless among us could not count on any protection from the likes of Barack Obama. Rather, during his brief political career he has been a reliable champion of those who promote the destruction of innocent life through abortion. (more…)

“New” Energy Reform: Same Old Politics

Christopher G. Adamo — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 13:10:15 +0000

Once again, the “greater good” has been served inside the Beltway, “bipartisanship” has broken a stalemate, the rancor over energy policy has ended and, as is always the case when such milestones are achieved, conservative America has been sold out. Somehow, Republicans never seem to figure out that when right and wrong attempt to find common ground with each other, “right,” by design, will inevitably be the first casualty.

This latest effort involves a “Gang of Ten” U.S. Senators, five Republicans and five Democrats, who are promoting their “New Energy Reform Act of 2008.” In truth it is anything but new, and instead represents the worst manifestation of D.C. “business as usual.” Even in the midst of his noble attempt to justify the deception to an understandably skeptical Rush Limbaugh, Republican Senator Saxby Chambliss of Georgia inadvertently tipped his hand by mentioning that the intrepid Senators felt compelled by their constituents to “quit their partisan bickering and come together.” (more…)

Obama Is Europe’s “Vision” For America

Christopher G. Adamo — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 13:21:21 +0000

Fawning over Barack Obama as they did during his recent overseas campaign swing, those cheering multitudes of Europeans said much more about themselves than they did about either Illinois Senator and Democrat presidential candidate or the best course to chart for the future of the United States. Somewhat surprisingly, and despite all of the dutiful and harmonious consensus of Obama’s lackeys in the American media, his campaign gained little credibility from the venture.

Something is amiss on the European Continent, and Americans know it. For reasons of sheer survival, most of Western Europe understood the magnitude of the Cold War and the necessity of remaining solidly aligned with the United States throughout the latter half of the Twentieth Century. Even as the continent was resurrecting itself from the devastation of World War II, the specter of likely Soviet dominion over Western Europe kept sufficient numbers of Europeans on their guard, and thus in support of the line of defense established and maintained by the United States. The “North Atlantic Treaty Organization” (NATO) was, in its original form, a direct offspring of this common understanding. (more…)

The “Fairness” Doctrine: America In The Balance

Christopher G. Adamo — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 10:59:29 +0000

Lurking in the gloom of the Democrat agenda is a resuscitation of the so-called “Fairness Doctrine,” which would allow the federal government, at the behest of liberal special interests, to selectively harass and intimidate radio stations whose broadcasting format it finds objectionable.

Thus, the proliferation of conservative talk-radio and virtually all of the alternative media would be threatened with eventual extinction. (more…)

Apollo 11: American Excellence Remembered

Christopher G. Adamo — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 23:26:26 +0000

Sunday July 20, 2008 will likely be a fairly typical summer day in America.

People will get up, go to Church, and maybe hold a barbeque in the back yard. Perhaps the more industrious amongst us will wash the family car.

Calmness, serenity, and above all, normality will rule the day. And in a way, that is an awful shame. (more…)

Holding Liberals Accountable For Energy Woes

Christopher G. Adamo — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 15:27:32 +0000

How long can Congressional Democrats hope to continue their anti-capitalist, anti-American agenda without facing accountability from the voting public? Current indicators are that they intend to hold firm on their signature issues, believing that the public will simply not recognize the correlation between their actions of recent years, and the horrendous economic fallout that ensued as a direct result. And nowhere can this relationship be seen more clearly than in the skyrocketing energy prices currently threatening to squeeze the vitality from the American middle class. (more…)

Manifold Dangers Of A Liberal Supreme Court

Christopher G. Adamo — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 09:55:39 +0000

As far back as Sun Tzu, military strategists have well understood the concept that victory in war does not require the destruction of one’s enemy, but merely convincing that enemy that destruction is inevitable if the fight continues. Similarly, in a dictatorship, absolute control is neither necessary nor, in most cases, even possible. All that is needed for the dictator to endure is the presumption among the underlings that the leader does indeed hold a monopoly of power. (more…)

Radical Environmentalism: The ‘Imperfect Storm’

Christopher G. Adamo — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 09:52:05 +0000

Liberals inadvertently delivered a telling message in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. In essence, it is the same message they have sent on the heels of every major calamity, whether natural or man-made, to befall the nation during the past several decades. Let a heat wave hit or a bridge collapse, and their first impulse is to assign guilt, invariably among their political opposition. But by their immediate and hysterical finger-pointing, they telegraph their desperation to avoid any culpability for the real problems at hand. (more…)
