Merry Christmas from The Conservative Beacon
This will be the final post (barring a noteworthy breaking news story).
Before I close this post out though I want to take time to thank you, our readers (after all, if you didn’t take time out of your busy day to check out what we’re saying on here, The Conservative Beacon wouldn’t exist.
We’ve seen our [...]
Unto us a Son is given
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6 (740-680 B.C.)
On the eve before the traditionally recognized birth of Christ, I am admittedly in [...]
Jimmy Carter: Terrorists Lack “Defense” Against Israel
Just whose side is former president (and honestly, I use that title loosely) Jimmy Carter on in the War on Terror? Carter summarizes his recent trip to Paris, Syria, and Lebanon on his Carter Center site.
In that summary, Carter appears to express sympathy for Hezbollah in their fight against Isreal:
The general showed us a graph [...]
Egalitarianism and how Sports Reward Failure
SOCIALISM is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.” ~ Winston Churchill
Detroit has been in the news as of late for all the wrong reasons, which can be traced to their penchant for rewarding failure. Think: Congress “bailout” [corporate welfare [...]
Banks that have Received Bailout Funds Refuse to State what the Money is being used for
As a tax-paying citizen wouldn’t like to know what are your tax dollars are being spent on? As an investor in a company wouldn’t you like to know what your investment is being used for?
Well guess what: in the case of the financial/auto manufacturing industry bailout, we’re being denied the knowledge of what’s being done [...]
Goebbels, Patterson, Obama and the Eternal Lie
If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie.
- Dr. Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s minister of propaganda
Please forgive me if by [...]
Government (Taxpayer)-Owned AIG Providing Shariah Financial Products
Unsurprisingly, the announcement by American International Group that it would begin offering Shariah-based financial products went virtually unreported in the Mainstream Media, but thankfully there are outlets like WorldNetDaily that report the anti-politically correct news stories:
American International Group earlier this month announced it will be offering Shariah-compliant homeowners insurance in the U.S. Hit hard by the financial [...]
Somalis Leave Minnesota for Jihad in Africa
There’s a deeply disturbing article in this morning’s USA Today. Our radicalized friends from the “religion of peace” are it again. Shocking, I know. This time, however, they’re not Arabs. They’re Somalis and they’re being indoctrinated with the same hate for the West, Christians, Jews, and well, let’s just make this quicker, their hate for [...]
War for Oil? I Wish it Had Been
I am saddened that it is politically inconvenient to acknowledge what everyone knows: The Iraq war is largely about oil.
-Alan Greenspan (from his memoirs, September 2007)
As the president surreptitiously departed off to Iraq and Afghanistan for his final victory tour earlier this week to bask in the two identifiable foreign policy “victories” in an otherwise [...]
Why the Islamofascists are Winning
Terrorism expert Steven Emerson recently published a piece identifying one of the primary reasons why we weren’t winning the War on Terror.
The entire article is well worth the read, but I’ve pulled a few key excerpts:
Watching and reading the last 5 days of reports of the Mumbai attacks was an Alice in Wonderland experience. Even after [...]
