Ann Coulter On Naming Traitors
While Ann Coulter's recent column naming a traitor by name ["Just This Once-I'm Willing to Name One"], i.e. Pinch Sulzberger is correct, she missed mentioning his greatest treason.
In their book, The Trust, by Susan E. Tifft and Alex S. Jones, Sulzberger is quoted as wishing that in a standoff between a North Vietnamese Communist soldier and an American soldier, he would wish that the American would be killed. His father thought that remark was treasonous.
It is good to see that nothing has changed in the mind of this spoiled brat rich kid, who got to the top job at the New York Times only because he won the sperm lottery.
Remembering Seabiscuit
Since I am a "seasoned" citizen you refer to in your Seabiscuit story ["The Seabiscuit Phenomenon"], I do recall well that great little colt. But more than that, I was raised and grew up about 50 miles south of Charlie Howard's Ridgewood Ranch in Healdsburg near Willits, Calif. In addition, my father raised cattle and horses and I trained and showed thoroughbred jumping horses.
At one point in time, my father purchased two horses from Howard and I went with our ranch foreman to get them. Before we loaded the horses, the foreman asked me if I would like to see Seabiscuit who was there recovering from an injury.
If and when he did recover he would make one more run at the Santa Anita Handicap, which was the only major race he hadn't won. Needless to say I was thrilled to be able to see him.
The foreman told me to go over to a small barn and go into the stall where the "Biscuit" was. I did so, went in and stood there. In a moment, he came over to me and let me pet and scratch him. Oh my, what a thrill.
My father took me to see him run at Bay Meadows in April 1938. That was also a thrill. Reading Laura Hillenbrand's book and seeing the movie brought tears to my eyes.
I talked and communicated with her. A coincidence is that near my home, lives a jockey from that era, Richard Beasley. Richard didn't race Seabiscuit, but he exercised him and did race some of Howard's other horses.
I could go on but will spare you.
O'Reilly on Coulter and McCarthy: No Spin, No Facts
Regarding Mr. Ryskind's point about Bill O'Reilly's baseless assertion apropos Ann Coulter's defense of Sen. Joseph McCarty ["Coulter and Her Critics"], I watched Mr. O'Reilly's attempt to belittle Ann's work. He refused to consider what she had to say about McCarthy, which is indisputible.
The House Un-American Activities Committee was created by a Democrat House of Representatives in 1938. It was recreated in 1945 as the Committee on Un-American Activities by a Democrat House of Representatives. It was changed in 1969 to the Committee on Internal Security by a Democrat House of Representatives. It was abolished in 1975 during President Ford's Administration, again by a Democrat House of Representatives.
Sen. McCarthy was never a member of the House of Representatives and he certainly did not control the activities of the Democrats that went after Communist influence in the entertainment industry.
Sen. McCarthy did go after Communist influence in the federal government. He was right. There were Communists in the State Department, the Treasury Department, the Department of Commerce, U.S. Army installations, and other areas.
The left wing of the Democrat Party never forgave him for his activities. He did not blacklist anyone in the entertainment industry!
The Democrats have been telling a big lie about McCarthy, and I think it is sad that journalists continue to promote it.
Hillary's Visit At West Point
I see that Hillary Rodham Clinton visited the U.S. Military Academy at West Point ["Hillary Watch: In the Army Now"].
The report failed to mention, however, whether or not the cadets were allowed to wear their uniforms while she was there.
