COMMENTLINES
On this day in history:
It seems many folks are wrapped up in the metaphysical meaning of 06/06/06 and have overlooked the true meaning of 06/06 as an assault on real evil that once lived in this world; it is the anniversary of D-Day. On 6 June 1944, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower broadcast the following words of hope to those oppressed under the iron cross of the Nazis:

"People of Western Europe: A landing was made this morning on the coast of France by troops of the Allied Expeditionary Force. This landing is part of the concerted United Nations' plan for the liberation of Europe, made in conjunction with our great Russian allies ... I call upon all who love freedom to stand with us. Keep your faith staunch. Our arms are resolute. Together we shall achieve victory."

On the environment:
You'll often hear the left lecture about the importance of dissent in a free society. The next time you're with some progressive friends, dissent. Tell 'em you're not sold on this global warming stuff. Back away slowly. You'll probably be called a fascist.

On Iraq:
Uncovering the veil of evil, an article from John Burns of The New York Times on what forensic researchers found in one of Saddam's mass graves in the Ash Sham Desert.

While the media and rights activists are busy condemning the US Marines, they overlook the the jihadists in Iraq who keep on targeting their innocent victims -- Sunni you live -- Shitte you die.

On illegal aliens:
Thomas Sowell reminds us that, "The laws already on the books at this very moment allow us to control the borders, to build any fence we choose, without consulting the government of Mexico."

On terrorism:
Counterterror officials worry about Americans seeking to attack the country from the inside.
