MINT-AND-CORN COUNTRY, INDIANA — For the past couple of years, on Memorial Day and Veterans Day, I have linked to a heart-wrenching, tear-eliciting piece by Chris Jones from Esquire. I did so again in the post below, but, lest it be lost to the reader amidst the content of that piece, I offer a separate [...]

MINT-AND-CORN COUNTRY, INDIANA — I haven’t a plethora of family who have served: One grandfather, a handful of great-uncles, an aunt who was an Air Force nurse, and an uncle who was a reservist.

I read this on the air this morning and thought it worth passing around. None of this will be earth shattering to most on the Alternative Right, but I thought of it on September 11, 2001 and still think of it every anniversary.
This is Pat Buchanan describing a hypothetical terrorist attack that could take place as [...]

MINT-AND-CORN COUNTRY, INDIANA — First, apologies for the infrequency of my contributions. I suffer from a seemingly terminal case of poor time-management abilities, but I promise that I’m working on rectifying this. I hate to leave my favorite agitators without reason to engage me. With a few drafts saved and ideas running through my convoluted [...]
On ABC’s “This Week” this morning, George Will’s retort to Robert Gates, Fred Kagan and everyone else criticizing his call for troop withdrawal in Afghanistan, was to note support for his position from former Marine Commandant Gen. Chuck Krulak and other military brass. From the Politico:
George Will, whose columnn last week calling for the U.S. to pull its [...]
Just caught his latest rant about the radicals in the Obama Administration, focusing on the unsympathetic example of one time black Marxist “green jobs czar” Van Jones. But in a flash of Beck’s total ignorance, in one of his melodramatic flourishes about saving the republic he invoked the Spanish Republican slogan “They shall not pass”.
