Roman Catholic, Anti-Communist Republican classic movie director Leo McCarey's "Once Upon A Honeymoon"(1942) with Republican movie superstars Ginger Rogers & Cary Grant. is airing on TCM on Monday morning. From its title, stars & director one might think it's a light romantic comedy like Grant's "The Awful Truth" and Miss Rogers' "It Had to Be You." And while it's partly in that genre, it's also a WII spy adveture. It's loads of fun to watch if you're a fan of Ginger, Cary, Walter Slezak(as Ginger's villainous Nazi husband), McCarey or 1940s WWII propaganda films. It also provides evidence that there...

TEHRAN, IRAN – The ritual burning of the US flag is not going to stop. Nor will the chants - especially on Iranian revolutionary anniversaries - of "Death to America." Unlike every other presidential candidate who hinted at a thaw in relations, to appeal to the majority of Iranians who say they want better US ties, hard-line president-elect Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Iran "has no significant need" for the US. But beneath the anti-US façade is a nation that has much in common with its stated nemesis - from an ambitious self-image and public reliance on the divine, to a habit...

"Violence is not the answer. Let's negotiate" The quote above was on a poster that the Lefties had at the weekly anti-American, anti-Bush, anti-everything protest here in Columbia, Missouri at the Post Office. Freaking Unbelievable. How could these people say this without totally laughing hysterically as I was when I first read the poster!? Don't these people realize that in order to be strong in our national defense, we can not "negotiate"? Imagine, if you will, if GWBush tried to "negotiate" with Osama Bin Laden and Al-Quida after 9/11. That would definitely make the U.S. weak and sure make the...

TORONTO - It was about a week ago that I heard another breathless interview with a young anti-war protester who was expounding upon what has come to be the mantra about the diversity of the modern peace movement in this country. "It's not just students," this young woman trilled, as though the political left had the exclusive patent on the great Canadian mosaic as surely as they do in the normal scheme on protest, "it's grandmothers, too!" Guess what? Yesterday, on an unseasonably cold and miserable day featuring thick sleet that alternated with ice pellets, in the midst of an...

Bill Smith, a military veteran, historian and Purple Heart recipient, addressed the crowd. "I'd much rather be over in Iraq than have Iraq over here poisoning my grandchildren and great grandchildren." The comments brought an ovation from the crowd.
