I went to a Republican candidates forum for North Carolina State offices last month. (Suddenly I want to sing, “I went to the Animal Fair.”) First of all, we are in worse trouble than I thought. Why? Because there were more candidates than audience members, and speaking with several of the candidates before the event, [...]
North Carolina has a primary election next month and on the ballot is a referendum stating that marriage between one man and one woman will be the only marriage recognized by North Carolina. If passed, there will be an Amendment to our State Constitution stating just that. I think, at this time, there are 30 [...]
I write to discuss my opinions, but also to share the facts that brought me to those opinions. I hope you read the facts and my opinions, but I hope you use your own brain to come to your own opinions. I am of the belief that people just really need some facts to go [...]
“Today’s debate about global warming is essentially a debate about freedom. The environmentalists would like to mastermind each and every possible (and impossible) aspect of our lives.” Vaclav Klaus ~ Blue Planet in Green Shackles I wonder how it happened that some people woke up one day and decided that using energy to power our [...]
What is that saying about those who would choose security over freedom deserve neither? What I hoped would be a productive and somewhat sublime time in my life has turned into an age of daily shocks to my freedom-loving core. Though I have watched the national and international news for years with great concern, I [...]
Gaston County commissioners have done something very good for which we should all be thanking them. They recently voted unanimously to adopt a resolution rejecting Agenda 21 and all of the tenets therein – a United Nations doctrine that has been wrecking the sovereignty of the United States for years. The Republican National Committee this [...]
Each of us is carrying around a hot button issue that hits at the heart of our core beliefs. Some of these issues are narrow, others broader. A narrow issue might be something like seat belt laws. But even that represents a broader issue at the heart of liberty. A broad issue might be something [...]
I confess I have been naive in my political views in earlier years in my lifetime. I look back now and have a completely different perspective on world events, a perspective that is closer to reality, but still probably lacking in enough sophistication to grasp the entirety of it all. I have never been what [...]
It has been said that people possess a herd mentality. If some admired (for whatever reason) person makes a testimonial supporting some product or another, that is supposed to inspire other people to go out and buy that product. Advertising has used this endorsement tool forever. It evidently has a proven track record. Joe Namath [...]
Over the past few years I have watched as environmental non-profits have multiplied like a veritable plague of locusts across the land. I’ve researched the origins of this all the way back to the Federal government agencies feeding these locusts with money our Federal government does not have and must borrow or print. Billions of [...]
