“So how does it feel, Enemy Central backers? Are you ready to face

military tribunal officiated by Krugman-Brock?”
Damn skippy I am! Talk about two folks coming un-armed to a
battle of wits…

NEW EQUATIONS
Re: The Prowler’s Bicyclers Against
Terrorism:
So Greenpeace and the Environmental Defense Fund want to run ads
equating use of gasoline to supporting terrorism. Well, what’s good
for the Goose is good for the Gander. Someone needs to run an ad
that equates opposition to drilling for oil in ANWR as supporting
terrorism. TAKE THAT, Environmentalist Wackos.

It seems to me that if the “environmentalists” start running ads
that say you support terrorism if you buy gas, it would be a great
time to ask them if we can finally DRILL OUR OWN OIL?

WITHOUT CEREMONY
Re: The Prowler’s Stood Up by
Bush:
In the days following Bush’s signing of CFR, I have heard various
speculations as to the President’s choice of foregoing “pomp and
ceremony.” Many of them have provided me with much amusement. To a
one, they all pass over the most obvious answer: President Bush,
concerned with insuring the survival of our Republic, has decided
to forego a “battle royal” over an odious, corrupt, hysteria-driven
piece of legislation. To the dismay of less cunning conservatives,
he did so knowing full well that political allies would march
without hesitation to the nearest federal courthouse to begin the
process that will result in a sharpened stake being driven through
the heart (the most constitutionally insulting elements…) of
McCain / Feingold, et al.
Our resolute Commander-in-Chief, in choosing the manner of the
signing ceremony, very clearly signaled his contempt for CFR and,
more importantly, its loudest cheerleaders. Within the realm of
Beltway Land, there are few punishments more harsh than exclusion
from a major photo op.
Bully for Bush, I hope the silent slap he’s issued stings hard
and long.

THE NATURAL
In his “All
Hail the Small Ball,” Dave Shiflett describes himself as a
baseball “outsider.” He’s also a keen observer. Because outsider or
no, he puts his finger on many of baseball’s enduring charms. Comes
close to its essence. In the Column League, “All Hail” is a frozen
rope to right (field chosen in deference to American Prowler’s
political bent). Baseball aficionados will recognize this as a
compliment.

POPE ANDREW
Re: Jeremy Lott’s Pope
Andrew the First:
A note to Jeremy Lott, who in his commentary on Andrew Sullivan
confessed that he’s a Baptist wiggling his toes in the Tiber: I’m a
former Presbyterian from a family of Baptists and Pentecostals who
is now a happy and enthusiastic Catholic. My invitation to you is
this: Come on in! The water’s fine! And if you need any help coming
in, there are plenty of us converts around who are at your
service.

I do not know what kind of Baptist Jeremy Lott is but no born
again, Bible-believing Baptist would ever consider joining the
Roman Catholic Church. Rather than “dipping his toes” in the filthy
polluted waters of Romanism Mr. Lott should read the Bible more
thoroughly. It will show him how to get saved as well as how to
locate the right kind of church. Furthermore, it will show him how
the doctrines and practices of the idolatrous RCC contradict the
Word of God.

Sullivan is not a Catholic. Having “cast off all restraint” and
chosen
the homosexual abomination, he is self-excommunicated.

REPARATIONS SHOP TALK
… There’s a lot of noise being generated about “reparations.”
Doesn’t it seem fair to look at the political party most identified
with slavery for some sort of reparations?
I mean the Democrat Party. For sure it is THE political party of
chattel slavery in America.
Founded with slavery, fought for the death of America for
slavery, and supported it past the Civil War.
Those guys in the white sheets were never Republicans.
And while we’re at it, it was the Democrat Party that made
racial segregation in the South.
… Is there some kind of reparations we should expect from
Democrats for their starring role in American slavery?
BTW, a Clintonesque apology won’t fly here. Especially since we
know he was named not for Thomas Jefferson — he’d have been the
only white of his generation so named — but for Jeff Davis.
Thanks for all your good work. The new page looks fine and the
content’s excellent.
