China to Saudi Arabia: Let’s Make A Nuclear Deal…Done!
Anyone who has been following the unstable situation in the Middle East is aware of the fear of many in that region that if Iran goes nuclear, there’s no choice but for every country that wants to remain safe from blackmail to go nuclear as well. America’s response to those fears has been to pit one nation against another, placate our allies and hobble our enemies, and invade as a last resort to knock out any threats to regional stability that may grow into threats against the United States. We’ve not been willing to offer our allies, like Saudi Arabia, nuclear technology, we’ve been telling them to just rely on us to defend them. Apparently their faith in our ability to do so has been shaken enough that they’ve entered the arms market and hooked up with the Chinese. Bill Gertz over at the Washington Post writes about it in his “Inside The Ring” column today:
China has been selling their technology for a long time and for good profit – there’s no reason to think they won’t keep doing so. One wonders if Europe’s finally acquiescing to strong sanctions against Iran has come too late. Even if Iran lets in inspectors and abides honestly with a world community so afraid of that terror supporting nation armed with nukes, a nuclear Middle East may already be an inevitability. How does that change things in the long run? Does the instability of that region portend Armageddon? Those nations not armed when Iran or Saudi Arabia bring their weapons on line will live with a sword of Damocles hanging over them that could very well begin a period of conquest. Let’s hope we have leadership in America that is up to the task of dealing with dueling nuclear Islamic fiefdoms.

PV Radio Greatest Hits: The David Satter Interview
Here is the interview Shane and I did with David Satter on January 3rd 2012. Mr. Satter is the author of the book ‘It Was A Long Time Ago, And It Never Happened Anyway: Russia And The Communist Past” and a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute. He joined us on Political Vindication Radio to talk about his book and struggle that Russian’s are facing in dealing with a history of rampant genocide and the denial that protects that haunted past. It was a tremendous honor for us to get a chance to talk to a man who has such an immense knowledge of Russian history and culture, it was truly a history lesson for us and our audience.

Was President Richard Nixon Gay?
There’s a new book coming out about Richard Nixon, and considering there isn’t a whole lot to say about a man who has had every liberal rifling through his life, ideology and failures, there’s one that hasn’t been as of yet used for commercial consumption – we finally have an author pulling the gay card. they did it to Lincoln – is it so surprising they would do it to Nixon? Who’s next – Dwight Eisenhower?
Nixon once said that gay people “cannot be in places of high trust.”
Here’s a question for you – what’s more believable – Richard Nixon having a gay relationship or Bill Clinton?
But then again – who would care if Bill Clinton had a gay relationship – other than it would likely be the first presidential bi-racial homosexual dalliance!

P.V. Radio! Interview Tonight: David Satter – ‘It Was A Long Time Ago, And It Never Happened Anyway – Russia and the Communist Past’
Five years ago Frank and Shane went on the air for the first time on Blog Talk Radio. We created Political Vindication Radio! to continue the political conversation we had been having for so many years, and to find and attract new friends who were just as dedicated to improving themselves and the country they loved. We’ve had on so many guests that have made a real difference in how we see and interpret the world we live in. We’ve met so many bright souls living all over America and the world who have brought warmth and insight to the passionate discussions about the past, present and future. This blog, and our show, Political Vindication Radio! has proven a valuable vehicle to intellectual growth, and we hope that readers and listeners in the future will gain as much from it as we have. We want to thank you all for riding along with us over the years, and we promise we’ll keep the conversation alive as we head into what many believe is a dangerous time for our young nation.
We’ve been asked many times why we called our blog ‘Political Vindication’. Tonight’s guest David Satter in his own way reveals why in a book about the crimes of the Soviet Union against its own people titled ‘It Was a Long time Ago, and It Never Happened Anyway -Russia and the Communist Past.’ It’s his third book focusing on the Russia and the Soviet Union, and it ponders the question of how a nation that succumbed to a tyrannical, murderous government intent on feeding on its own citizens deals with that history…or to put it better – why it refuses to deal with it. In the book’s 307 pages (along with 49 pages in footnotes) he writes upon the Appeal To Communism, The Responsibility Of The State, The Trial Of The Communist Party, Moral Choice Under Communism, The Roots Of The Communist Idea. He also goes into great detail about the horrors of the Red Terror, passing on the fury, sadness or stoic resignation of the Russians that endured it. From the labor camps to the summary executions after sham trials, the forests of Katyn, the odyssey of Andrei Poleshchuk, the book delivers both fact and philosophy in an easy to read style. Most importantly, while it seeks to find some understanding of why the Russian people refuse to hold anyone to account for the evil run amok, it also illustrates what happens when a people dismiss the belief that there is dignity to be found in each and every individual life. Without that understanding, there’s no defense against the dark streaks in human nature that seek to enslave and destroy life. While there is no escaping the depravity that haunts human history, it is a large part of our story – unless we can find the heart to stand against such impulses, we are nothing more than a parade of children born only to fill the ditches of mad men leading genocidal civilizations. It is argued by some that the lessons learned after the slaughter of World War II are starkly different between America and Europe. In Europe, they came to insist that the lesson was war is wrong, at all costs war must be avoided. In America the lesson learned was when evil is revealed, fight it with all you’ve got. I’m in no position to speak for Mr. Satter, his book is both sad and poignant and a work of great depth – but I think the story he tells vindicates the principle that there are things worth fighting for, and against. This doesn’t mean we yearn for war whenever we come up against something we can’t understand or empathize with – I’m only saying that when man chooses to stand against fear when the ideologues insist courage is a fool’s gamble, there is where we find our only hope in a world that tends toward self-destruction.
The author David Satter started out his journalistic career as a police reporter for the Chicago Tribune, then became the Moscow Correspondent for the London Financial Times from 1976 – 1982. He used the insight gained to join the Wall Street Journal editorial page as a special correspondent on Soviet Affairs. He’s a Thornton Hooper senior fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute in Philadelphia, and was a research fellow at the Hoover Institution. He is currently a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute. In 2008, he was also a visiting professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and now teaches a course on contemporary Russian history at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced Academic Programs. Tonight, in our second hour starting at 9:15 pm EST you’ll get to meet him, discuss his book and certainly hear from a bright mind the dark history of communism in the U.S.S.R. IF you have a question for the professor and senior fellow, call in by dialing (347) 989 – 8249.
Political Vindication Radio! comes on at 8pm EST on Blog Talk Radio every Tuesday. From Ben Shapiro to Zo of PJTV, from Anna Porter to Bruce Thornton, from the past to the future, we’re hear to bring you perspectives and political conversation from a conservative point of view.

Ron Paul/George Soros Connection?
Front Page Magazine has the details…
It’s one thing to question waste and fraud in any government department, which even I believe that the military is not above this scrutiny. But, to ally yourself with a man like Soros that has done his best to try undermine this nation only shows what a poor judge of character Ron Paul really has, and even more so, it wouldn’t be the first time we have witnessed this flaw in Mr. Paul.

Athletes And Owners Take Sides As Election Nears
I don’t often post whole articles here on PV – but this is worth reading. From the Washington Times, as written by the Associated Press:
They’re among a host of owners, executives, athletes and coaches from across the sports world supporting candidates in the 2012 election cycle.
Even the NFL and Major League Baseball have political action committees that are funded by sports owners and executives. They’ve donated to members of Congress and the parties’ congressional fundraising arms, but haven’t picked a presidential candidate – at least not yet.
It’s no secret why the sports industry is weighing in.
Immigration policy, intellectual-property rights, Internet gambling and performance-enhancing drugs are among the issues connected to sports that Washington lawmakers address. The industry lobbies on those matters and more. Sometimes, fierce rivalries on the field may not mean dramatic differences in politics.
The Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins, for example, are both backing the Republican team in the presidential election. Dallas owner Jerry Jones has donated to Texas Gov. Rick Perry and Mr. Romney, while Redskins owner Daniel Snyder has contributed to Mr. Romney.
Several NFL players have also contributed to political campaigns this election, including Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning to a pair of Republican senators, Redskins quarterback John Beck to Mr. Romney, and Cleveland Browns offensive tackle Tony Pashos to Ron Paul’s Republican presidential campaign.
Mr. Pashos, whose team bio says he would like to run for office someday, has “Paul for President” bumper stickers flanking the nameplate on his locker.
“I would never, ever give to any politician,” Mr. Pashos told the Associated Press. “But with Dr. Paul, I don’t think I’m giving to a politician. I think I’m giving to a man who is honest and can actually deliver change.”
Mr. Beck, in contrast, said he isn’t out front in expressing his political views in the locker room, lest it disrupt team harmony.
“I’m not going around trying to force my belief on anybody else, just like they’re not trying to force their belief on me,” he said.
The NBA, which recently ended a potential season-killing lockout, is providing the biggest splash in politics – but in Russia, not the U.S.
The owner of the New Jersey Nets, Russian tycoon Mikhail Prokhorov, announced last month he will challenge Prime Minister Vladimir Putin in the March presidential election. If Mr. Prokhorov wins, he will join Milwaukee Bucks owner and U.S. Sen. Herb Kohl as owner-politicians, though for less than a year, as the Wisconsin Democrat is not seeking re-election.
Obama donor Ted Leonsis, who owns the NBA’s Washington Wizards and the NHL’s Washington Capitals, has since criticized the president in a blog item called “Class Warfare Yuck!”
Mr. Leonsis, who donated $35,800 to the Obama Victory Fund in June, wrote in the blog item three months later that Mr. Obama was wrong to talk about “millionaires and billionaires” who need to pay more in taxes.
“I voted for our president,” he wrote. “It blows my mind when I am asked for money as a donation at the same time I am getting blasted as being a bad guy! Someone needs to talk our president down off of this rhetoric about good vs. evil; about two classes and math.”
Let the games begin!

Macy’s Policy: Crossdressing Men Free To Use Women’s Fitting Rooms
Another satisfied Macy’s customer!
An interesting bit of news from Steven D. Greydanus over at the National Catholic Register. It appears Macy’s has adopted an LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transgender) policy towards its fitting rooms. Naturally a guy dressed as a woman sauntered into the women’s dressing room and when coming out, was told by an employee that he couldn’t use the women’s rooms. He was outraged, she was fired.
I understand that if you work for a private employer, you’re obligated to abide by its policies, so the young woman stood her ground and paid the price. But her point is valid, and if Macy’s will let a man use the women’s fitting rooms because he calls himself a woman, then I suspect that the restrooms are also “LGBT” friendly – imagine the problems that could arise there.
And what’s to stop a man who isn’t dressed as a woman from using their fitting rooms and restrooms? I’m sure transgendered activists would argue that it isn’t the dress that makes one a woman, it’s a state of mind. Besides, women wear jeans and tank tops and flip flops to the store, why couldn’t a man wearing the same thing use the any fitting room or restroom he wanted, depending upon his “state of mind” at that particular moment? What if that moment realizes itself just as a beautiful girl slips into the fitting rooms to try on lingerie? I know that sounds cynically opportunistic, but men are men…
It’s a crazy world we live in…

Political Vindication Radio Greatest Hits: The Paul Marshall Interview (Silenced)
Paul Marshall, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute joined us last night on Political Vindication Radio to talk about his new book “Silenced: How Apostasy And Blasphemy Codes Are Choking Freedom Worldwide.” It was a very enlightening interview as Shane and I were thoroughly honored to have the opportunity to talk with Dr. Marshall. Check it out right here!

P.V. Radio! Interview Tonight: Paul Marshall – Silenced: How Apostasy and Blasphemy Codes are Choking Freedom Worldwide
As we do every Tuesday from 8 – 10pm Eastern, Political Vindication Radio! is on the air! Frank and Shane will be talking politics, culture and history, and in the second hour we have a special guest: Paul Marshall, senior fellow at the Center For Religious Freedom at the Hudson Institute will be here to talk about his latest book “Silenced: How Apostasy And Blasphemy Codes Are Choking Freedom Worldwide.” Click to book below to check it out and buy it!
In the conclusion to this profound book, Mr. Marshall writes:
When the West submits to the threats of Islamists (in particular), they do no one any favors – in fact they make the world a more dangerous place despite the claim that all they want is peace. They condemn billions to live in a fascistic, poverty stricken world that can result in ignorance, depravity and misery. Our responsibility to protect and defend our own freedoms in the face of a worldwide push to protect Islamic culture from modernization tests our understanding of what it means to be free, and whether we have the courage to be so. We risk learning too late that our brother’s bondage binds us as well.
Ultimately, religious apostasy and blasphemy codes, regardless of what religion they come from, are a challenge to the moral maturation of civilization. As we endure this process in Islam, the long term vision of a world where human dignity is respected profits all of God’s children.
We’ll have on Paul Marshall from 9:15pm to 9:50pm, and we’ll gladly take questions from our listeners – call in by dialing the show at (347) 989 – 8249.

Reunion Features Heroism Against Horror
When German Nazis took over their small Lithuanian town and began rounding up the jews, the Katz family found themselves with nowhere to go. The father Srolis and his son Leibel were pulled led into the forest and forced into a pit and shot. Leibel died that day, but his Srolis amazingly escaped death and found his way back to his wife and daughter. Desparate to hide from the Nazis they showed up at the house of a family that frequented their store in peaceful times. The Ruzgys family were Catholics, and knew the price for taking in and hiding jews – death.
Thanks to the Jewish Foundation for the Righteous, the families met in New York after more than 60 years. What a meeting of stout hearts and profound courage! It should make us all proud that in the face if such evil, the human heart is capable of such things!

Anne Hathaway – Racist?
The British Mail Online has pics of Anne Hathaway (soon to be seen as Catwoman in the next installment of the Batman series Dark Knight) marching in Manhattan for wealth distribution.
The 29-year-old, who is worth a reported $58 million, was pictured marching with protesters and sticking it to the man yesterday in The Big Apple.
“Blackboards Not Bullets?” How racist! Everyone knows that whiteboards are superior to blackboards! Then to put the word “Bullets” right by the word “Black” – the inference is quite plain. This five million dollar super hero wants to foist inferior blackboards on black children who live in dangerous neighborhoods. It couldn’t be any more plain than the prosthetic nose on her face.
Even more shocking – look at her poster closer. She colors in stylishly the “B” in “BlackBoards”, making a black and blue threat that screams murderous violence against minorities. And the red “B” in “Bullets”? This might be the most depraved insinuation of them all. She’s saying that educationally inferior blacks stuck in gangland communities are handed a future as hopeless as the Boston Red Sox in September. Outrageous. The Woman is a menace, and quite rude as well.
What the world needs is less racist, condescending imperialists, even if they are svelte vixens who dress up for our amusement. The pain isn’t worth it. Anne Hathaway… stop the H8TE!

OWS LA To Protest Rose Parade
The LA Times is reporting that organizers of the Occupy Wall Street: Los Angeles are planning to protest at the Rose Parade this year. Peter Thottam, the hippy organizer who arranged for anti – Bush protests at the Rose Parade during George Bush’s presidency, is the tool leading the Rose Parade stink float for 2012. You can check out their site at occupytheroseparade.org. It’s the usual mountain of envy and entitlement we’ve come to expect from socialist agitators. Here’s to hoping the police are out in full force on January 2, 2012!
Should the world get to see a hippy rush on the parade that morning, I think it will be another nail in the coffin of Barack Obama’s re-election. He can’t continue to tacitly support the movement that has people tuberculosis spreading faster than fleas can jump from one homeless communist to the next. It’s all going to bite him in the ass. But then again – does he really care? He is part of the one percent!

Former Penn State University Coach Charged With Sexually Assaulting Boys
It’s atrocious, and the cover up is just as bad. from CNS News:
You can follow the link to read the details, but here’s a question for you: If you agree that the college campus is a licentious place, how come we haven’t heard more of this happening? The cover up may go much farther than just Penn State, it likely spans the whole of the education establishment from one coast to the other. I think we need a serious investigation, and a verdict on whether our education system is harming our nation more than helping it…
