Irony is Bitter Medicine.

Isn’t it sadly ironic that the last time this country actually united together and stood as one nation, indivisible, it came at the loss of 3000 lives? Looking today at the hatred spewed across the internet and across the television airways, where Democrats call Republicans war mongering fat cats, Republicans call Democrats lily-livered crybabies and [...]

Censoring Mark Twain

I have lived long enough to see the first last gasps of a dying idea; the idea that, as the bard would have it, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. There was a time when the most revered ideal held up by the United States was the ideal that guarantees freedom of expression [...]

Where is America’s spine?

How has it come to this? How has the United States fallen so far? Once (it seems ages ago now) the world respected the U.S., and those that didn’t at least had enough fear of us to remain relatively docile. Now, with a President who seems bent on weakening the people through socialism and the [...]

Pledges? We Don’t Need No Stinking Pledges!

The GOP in a bid to shore up support for the upcoming November election has released the “Pledge To America”, trying to emulate the 1994 “Contract With America” championed by then Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich during President Clinton’s midterms when Republicans swept the House and the Senate for the first time in decades.

Hallowed Ground, Slippery Slope

4CVGK48Q7TZF Well, the day has finally come that I thought never would; I am forced to speak words I swore would never make the trip past my lips. Here goes: President Obama is r-r-r-… (gimme a second) Obama is ri-rr-r…(dang it!) Obama’s not as wrong as he usually is. In case you’ve been under a [...]

The Worst Of The “We Told You So’s”

We told you that things in the hope and change era would be bad. We told you the Obama minions were out to socialize America, to make you all dependent on the government for everything, enslaving you, taking from you what they think you should pay and distributing it to themselves while claiming to give [...]

Is The Media Blowing The Oil Leak Out Of Proportion?

First some caveats: 1. I haven’t been to the Gulf to see the effect of the spill with my own eyes. 2. I have no doubt that pumping hundreds of thousands of gallons of crude oil into the ocean can have nothing but a negative effect on the natural environment and 3. Heads at BP [...]
