Child abuse, from the ROP.
With respect to Iran, Ed Morrissey has plenty of links and commentary, and is constantly updating.
Meanwhile, let's pray that there aren't too many foreign crises over the next few years; otherwise, Obama's going to weigh 300 pounds.
Update: In view of articles like this, one may be forgiven, I hope, for assuming that ex-right-winger Frank Schaeffer is brain dead; it won't affect his career path on the left, however, which is looking up.

WOW, this Frank Scheafer guy has now foothold in anything I call reality.......He considered himself a "right winger"??
ReplyDeleteHe's fricken dillusional, a legend in his own mind.....
beg pardon, "how this Frank Scheafer guy has a foothold...."
ReplyDeleteI Really shouldn't drink while commenting......
Sad, really. His father, the late Francis Schaeffer, was a well-known conservative Protestant theologian.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid I couldn't get through that dreg. It is always easier to argue against a caricature of what people really are.
ReplyDeleteThose people he is describing I wouldn't want in charge of anything either. But they aren't real, I don't know many people among my conservative, Christian acquaintances that even vaguely resemble that. In fact many of them dislike Huckabee because of his penchant for injecting religion into politics.
Ah well,
"I don't know many..."

Probably should wait until after my third cup of coffee on Sunday mornings.
Frankie Schaeffer was never right wing. His dad wasn't either, but he wasn't an idiot like this. Francis Schaeffer was one of the greatest thinkers of the 20th century and an incredible man. His son, not so much.
ReplyDeleteChristopher: I did not mean to suggest that Francis Schaeffer was explicitly right-wing in a political sense, but an anti-modernist theologian.
ReplyDeleteOh, and as for son Frank, he was definitely, at one time, aligned with the right.
ReplyDeleteIt's so heartening to see what a sweet, laid-back dad the President is, taking his girls out for ice cream, instead of, you know, conferring with his advisors on what could well be the trigger for WWIII. I bet he's irritated at those Iranians and their icky revolution, though.
ReplyDeleteRebeccaH -- You've got to give up your myth of American exceptionalism, which is simply a cover for avaraice and self-aggrandisement.
ReplyDeleteHawaii has lots of islands. We can spare one to make the world feel we're part of the international community...
I reckon Obama feels safe as long as he is in DC. Nuking Washington would be an own goal for any enemy of the USA.
ReplyDeleteNo reason he should not go out for ice cream with his kids, when he has some free time. Failing to analyze events accuratly, and devise appropriate policies for them, is an area, however, where he and his administration have conspicuously failed, and not just with respect to the incipient revolution in Iran. Those 3 AM phone calls are coming a lot faster and more frequently than he ever expected, in both foreign and domestic matters, and Hillary's warning that he'd be unable to handle them rings truer every day. Not that she's any great shakes herself.
I have many of Francis' books. He is one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteAbout 20 years ago I could see Franky spinning into the hinterlands. It was very disappointing.
