Bullets

Ready for an attenuated rumor? A friend of mine does work for a guy who supplies a military manufacturer. According to my friend, the guy told him that the military manufacturer is really ramping up production and the type of things being made clearly point to an oncoming war with Iran. It's believable, of course. War is big government's best friend. * * * * * * * Pat Buchanan says war with Iran can be averted. But he's doubtful anybody really wants to avoid war. * * * * * * * But is it a threat or a fact? David Siegel, the founder and CEO of real estate company Westgate Resorts on Monday threatened to fire some employees if Barack Obama is reelected and carries out his plan to raise taxes on the so-called rich. Link. * * * * * * * * Orestes Brownson thought a Catholic-charged United States could rule the entire western hemisphere. I stand in awe of Brownson, but on that point, he was kind of a dufus. One hundred and fifty years later, people are still predicting the future of Catholic America. Two recent books, both by conservative Catholics, make totally opposite predictions. Neither book particularly appeals to me, but if time were no object, I would buy them both.
