American Commentary: Sarah Palin Might Just Make my Head Explode
http://american-commentary.blogspot.com/2010/04/sarah-palin-might-just-make-my-head.html
Dispatches from inside the world's superpower. Tuesday, April 20, 2010. Sarah Palin Might Just Make my Head Explode. Oct 29, 2008. While I know which campaign is making more sense, and speaking to the public more reasonably, I’m worried that large swaths of white blue-collar “folks” are really getting fired up by Sarah Palin’s insistence that somehow people from small towns in Bum-fuck, America are morally superior to the rest of the country. Why? That people are interceding for us and praying for us, it...

American Commentary: An Open Letter to Fareed Zakaria
http://american-commentary.blogspot.com/2010/07/open-letter-to-fareed-zakaria.html
Dispatches from inside the world's superpower. Tuesday, July 13, 2010. An Open Letter to Fareed Zakaria. This open letter to Mr. Fareed Zakaria is in reference to an interview he did with a radical Muslim on CNN's "Fareed Zakaria GPS". The videos of that interview are included at the bottom of the post]. My point of view. November 4, 2010 at 11:55 AM. A very well written letter. I totally agree with you about educating Americans with some of the history that they are not privy to with regards to what...

American Commentary: “Under the Guise of Academic Freedom”— the Aftermath of Mikey Weinstein’s ACSC Appearance
http://american-commentary.blogspot.com/2010/06/under-guise-of-academic-freedom.html
Dispatches from inside the world's superpower. Thursday, June 3, 2010. 8220;Under the Guise of Academic Freedom”— the Aftermath of Mikey Weinstein’s ACSC Appearance. 8220;Do not go back on base again! I was just on my way to the gym to get my afternoon workout in when I had received a frantic phone call from Phil, a friend of mine who works in Maxwell Air Force Base’s Air University. 8220;Do you have any reason to go back to the base? Phil’s trepidation was beginning to prove contagious. All I did was wr...

American Commentary: This Independence Day, Thank an Activist
http://american-commentary.blogspot.com/2010/07/this-independence-day-thank-activist.html
Dispatches from inside the world's superpower. Sunday, July 4, 2010. This Independence Day, Thank an Activist. Is there no other piece of our society we should be proud of? If all I cared about was worshipping the armed forces I could live in North Korea. I’d like to think America has a little more to offer. As I listened to this talk radio pundit I was immediately reminded of an old quote I recited many times as an Air Force Academy Cadet while I was braced at attention. It is the Soldier, not the poet.

Pretty much what it says on the tin. I don’t mean to be self-pitying – but…. April 17, 2011 2 Comments. Over the last few days I’ve been acutely, painfully aware of how easy it is, as a Muslim in Britain, to feel utterly helpless in the face of a barrage of sterotypes – both imagined and in-your-face real. It makes you want to run screaming through the streets and hide in a corner all at the same time. On Thursday I came across this. Watching the people come out of cafes along Baker Street to watch the s...

American Commentary: Civil Rights Fighter
http://american-commentary.blogspot.com/2010/04/civil-rights-fighter.html
Dispatches from inside the world's superpower. Monday, April 26, 2010. 8220;Get out. Out! Ok, thanks, nice knowing you, I got work to do.” Mikey Weinstein is huddled over his computer in his den, typing feverishly as he orders us away. His girls scurry out of his office and I follow close behind. We mill around in the living room of the Weinstein house, which sits at the foot of the Sandia Mountains in Albuquerque, New Mexico. A minute passes. “Hey come here guys! Mikey chuckles, and then we all chuckle&...

American Commentary: About American Commentary
http://american-commentary.blogspot.com/p/about-american-commentary.html
Dispatches from inside the world's superpower. This site is a collection of observations by one American on the empire that is his country. I aim to offer perspective on the lives of people touched by the United States- it matters little to me whether they actually live in this country or not. Most posts on American Commentary will be overtly political, while others will be less obvious, but I've always believed, as George Orwell said, that all writing is political.

American Commentary: Legislating God's Word: A Brief Look at Focus on the Family and their Quest to Build a Christian America
http://american-commentary.blogspot.com/2010/07/legislating-gods-word-brief-look-at.html
Dispatches from inside the world's superpower. Wednesday, July 21, 2010. Legislating God's Word: A Brief Look at Focus on the Family and their Quest to Build a Christian America. With the exception of the US Air Force Academy, Focus on the Family may be the only institution that regularly garners national headlines, in the otherwise unremarkable Colorado Springs. Focus on the Family is the creation of the Dr. James Dobson, who I wrote about here when he interviewed Sarah Palin. The goal of such. rhet...

American Commentary: A Little Bit of Oil Soaked Americana
http://american-commentary.blogspot.com/2010/07/little-bit-of-oil-soaked-americana.html
Dispatches from inside the world's superpower. Friday, July 9, 2010. A Little Bit of Oil Soaked Americana. My response, however, was not to grab a bat and head to the nearest BP station— I just figured we better enjoy some innocent American fun down by the beach before dead animals started washing ashore. The first email is one of those cut and paste forwarded emails that tends to find its way to the rugby email list. It was terribly long, so I’ve put up excerpts from it]. This doesn't just affect the oi...
