Sarah Palin Vice President

I have just listened to Sarah Palin`s speech and I am almost speechless. She is incredible! 44-years old, mother of five, intelligent, feisty, bold, independent, with ececutive experience as governor of Alaska, … and good-looking! She really impressed me. And the fact that McCain chose her shows the fundamental difference between Democrats and Conservatives: Democrats [...]

“Why I am not a liberal” by Dennis Prager

Dennis Prager explains why he is not a liberal (”Why I am not a liberal”, townhall, August 12, 2008):
(…) I believe in American exceptionalism, meaning that (a) America has done more than any international organization or institution, and more than any other country, to improve this world; and (b) that American values (specifically, the unique [...]

Prayer for your safety

I have just received an email from my best friend.
Not to alarm you, but Afghanistan is more dangerous than it was in the past. Please say a prayer for my safety.
Oh boy, I am praying for your safety every night and every day! Silently. I am not very good at doing this in public.
But [...]

The Spirit of Georgia II

I have already heard some good conspiracy theories about the Russian war against Georgia:
1. Nato is to blame because it surrounded Russia.
2. The US is to blame because they want to build a missile defense shield in Poland and the Czech Republic.
But what is missing in these two theories is the Jews. Usually every good [...]

The Spirit of Georgia

Where is it?
Russia invaded Georgia, a sovereign state. This is a clear breach of international law. And I wonder where are the protests?
Let`s go to Heidelberg and see whether the same people who built a “symbolic protective shield for International Law” back in 2003 when the Iraq war took place are now building a wall [...]

The 2008 Olympics in China

I must admit I never understood why the Olympic Games were given to China. OK, they promised more openness and freedom. But where is it? The Internet is censored, pro-Tibetan protesters are being arrested and the opening ceremony was partly faked.
But well of course there is at least one attractive reason to watch the [...]

„Rock Bands, Beer and Bratwurst”

200.000 people showed up for Obama`s speech in Berlin.
In his July 24, 2008, radioshow Mark Levin wonders:
How did they get 200.000 people there?
What did Obama and his people do?
First of all, it was choreographed, they had rock bands there before the speech, beer and bratwurst. Did you know that?
Rock bands, beer and bratwurst.
Now, if you [...]

Dennis Prager Listeners Germany

Thanks to my newest best friend from Wisconsin I discovered American talk radio. I have recently listened to Hugh Hewitt, Dennis Prager and Mark Levin. I liked the mp3 files he sent of the Dennis Prager show so much, that I even joined the Dennis Prager Listeners Germany group, as No. 007 with a licence [...]

The Obama Show at Siegessäule

It was the perfect show and thanks to the mayor of Berlin a spectacular place to hold such a speech. And who pays for it? Theoretically the citizens of Berlin-Brandenburg. But that is mere theory. As Klaus Wowereit put it: Berlin is “poor but sexy”, in other words bankrupt. So who pays for it? Well, [...]

Obama-Gate

“Obama Hasn`t Earned A Place At Berlin Gate” by Charles Krauthammer, July 17, 2008, IBD Editorials:

Barack Obama wants to speak at the Brandenburg Gate. He figures it would be a nice backdrop. (…)
What Obama does not seem to understand is that the Brandenburg Gate is something you earn.
President Reagan earned the right to speak there [...]
