Semper Papa:  Brilliant Man

I guess it is all relative! The latest Obama nominee for the already Liberal 9th Circuit Court of Appeal is one Goodwin Liu, a 39 years old law professor at the University of California, Berkeley. What makes it relative is that even his critics consider him as “brilliant”. To this simple man, there is...

Semper Papa: I Am Just Too Stupid

There are some dots out there that even someone as stupid as me can connect. Case in Point is Rashad Hussain. Mr. Hussain is a Muslim who has been tasked by the Obama Administration to represent the United States at the Organization of the Islamic Conference.

Semper Papa:  Land Of The Free Because Of The…Excuses?

There was a time when America was the land where right and wrong was divided by a defined line, the crossing of which had some real repercussions. You do something wrong and you are held accountable for it. It appears that times have fundamentally changed. In San Diego, a man with a conviction for sexual assault...

Semper Papa:  The Plot Thickens

In a previous post, I mentioned the clash between Sen. Charles Grassley and AG Eric Holder in regard to the politically appointed lawyers in the Department of Justice. The nut of the problem is that the Iowa Senator requested from Holder to identify those lawyers and the cases they had been involved in, which...

Semper Papa:In The Dead Of Night

Just as vampires do, our wonderful Congress likes to utilize the dead of night to vote on some of the bills that, I guess, they cannot get to because they are so “overworked” during the day. But in the case of Thursday night I am gratified by the vote that occurred in the House of...

Semper Papa:  Do You Believe In Miracles?

On 20 August 2009 I wrote a piece on my blog called “Misplaced Compassion” as I watched in disbelief the images of Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi being release from a Scottish prison and being flown to Tripoli on Muammar al-Gaddafi’s personal jet.

Semper Papa:  Asymmetrical Warfare

I too can use the fancy words, just like members of Congress. Asymmetrical Warfare: something that rolls over the tongue, adding importance to the statements of IQ-challenged individuals like Barbara Boxer. And yet really important words when spoken by those in the Military as they have the responsibility to conduct a war like any other. Michael...

Semper Papa:  The Real Threat To Our Nation

What would that be? Islamic terrorists? Nuclear Iran? Oh no, my friends. The true threat our country faces these days is domestic terrorism, defined as terrorism actions perpetrated by American citizens. And the feds are gearing up to crack down on it. Sure, the threat from Muslim terrorist is being looked at, including the possibility...
