It’s time to take another critical look at the increasing use of Islamic symbolism in national imagery, especially during the past 16 months. About seven weeks ago, I contended that the Flight 93 Memorial design should spark more outrage than the new U.S. Missile Defense Agency logo. Today, Alex Rawls at Error Theory pointed out [...]

Flight 93 Memorial Design Should Spark More Outrage Than New Missile Defense Agency Logo
February 24th, 2010 · 7 Comments
Earlier today, Drudge Report correctly pointed out similarities that exist between the new logo of the U.S. Missile Defense Agency (below left) and the logo used by the presidential campaign of Barack Obama (below right). It’s another design similarity, however, that deserves more attention and should spark more outrage among Americans. The design of the [...]

Question: ‘Why Didn’t Voters Pay Attention?’
October 16th, 2009 · No Comments
“Why didn’t voters pay attention?” is a question I asked myself after taking a fresh look at “Foster Friess on Barack Obama: Rhetoric vs. Record”, a video which first appeared in a post on this blog Oct. 28, 2008. Narrator Foster Friess, a successful businessman and Army veteran living in Jackson Hole, Wyo., begins by [...]

In the second paragraph of his Salon.com piece today, writer Glenn Greenwald claims President Barack Obama campaigned on a platform of increased defense spending. One needs only visit the Obama-Biden campaign web site or watch a campaign-trail video of Obama to see that the ever-so-hopeful writer is mistaken. In Ten Reasons NOT to Elect Barack [...]

Will Missile Defense Successes Be Short-Lived?
December 1st, 2008 · No Comments
Almost 16 weeks after The Boeing Company successfully completed a successful test of airborne laser technology, the company announced today that is had completed yet another, leading me to wonder whether President-elect Barack Obama will view these successes and deem them “proven” in light of his campaign-trail statements that he wants to “cut investments in [...]
