"The Hammer" said...: Is there any doubt we will eventually be at war with Islam? Some may say the more moderate and secular among the faith will reassert themselves before it's too late. I disagree. Turkey was a secular democracy (for the most part), now the fundamentalists are in control. Granted they haven't installed an Iranian style dictatorship but give them time, it's coming. Egypt may be next.

What we are engaged in now is a cold war, and sometimes not so cold. We allowed some raghead to be the chief inspector of the Iranian nuclear program (they even gave him a Nobel Prize) and now we're reduced to virus attacks on their computer system (which we probably sold them). Will the war turn hot when Islam gets nuclear tipped missiles?

There's a pattern here. It's a pattern that has played out over history time and time again. It's the pattern of a defeated and humiliated enemy that swears a blood oath against their supposed oppressors. They are driven by their desires and we are disinterested, complacent and apathetic. Sometimes the people wake up from their denial and get their shit together. Sometimes they recognize the threat and do what needs to be done; and sometimes the Visigoths sack Rome.; February 11, 2011
Sally said...: I just watched a great speech by Herman Cain at CPAC. It was really something. Check out some of the CPAC speeches on CSPAN 2. Mitch Daniels is on tonight at 7:30; February 11, 2011
"The Hammer" said...: Herman Cain is a bad mofo.; February 11, 2011

The Conservative Wahoo

The Blog: A compendium of thoughts on politics, world affairs, economics, pop culture and social issues, from the center right perspective of me--Bryan McGrath--a University of Virginia graduate who spent a career in the world's greatest Navy keeping my mouth shut about politics and social issues (ok, publicly keeping it shut). Those days are over! Pull up a chair and chime in where you will. Keep it clean, civil, concise and relevant.

The Fish: The fish is a "coat of arms" for the blog, symbolizing three formative influences in the life of the blog founder. The first is his experience at the University of Virginia--symbolized most importantly by the fish itself, or a caricature of a "Wahoo", the fish we have acquired as an informal nickname. Additionally there is the sword, the sword of a Cavalier. It is not wielded in a threatening manner, as this is a civil blog. But it is there, should it be needed. Thirdly, there is the influence of 21 years in the Navy--symbolized by the anchor on the Wahoo's fin (and again, the sword) . Finally, there is the bowler, tuxedo, and monocle, symbols of a refined, intellectual conservatism, or what I seek to encourage here.

The Policy: I take FULL responsibility for what I write. I will not be held responsible for the content of my comments section--as long as it is civil and passes my own inscrutable sniff tests, it will appear. If the comment offends you, that is on you.
