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 […]
We are occupied everywhere, not just on Wall Street or Los Angeles, Boston or Chicago. We’ve been occupied in our schools and universities, our public squares, our local governments, our professional organizations, and our daily lives by what seem like aliens who have taken over the country. I don’t recognize these people. They don’t seem […]
Let’s face facts. Obama is not going after “the wealthy” to pay their fair share. The elitists, statists, and the greens are not attacking the poor or themselves. The object of their hatred is all aimed at the middle class. They can, will, and have controlled the poor. In fact they’ve been doing that for […]
The joke in my house when people are tongue-tied or getting things mixed up is: “Someone is getting their merds wixed up!” (if you didn’t catch that, flip the first letters of “words mixed” and you get it.) If you’re looking for definitions to describe the current political soup we are in, good luck! We […]
“As ye sow, so shall ye reap.” My mother, who was an excellent seamstress, had a saying satirizing that Biblical phrase: “As ye sew, so shall ye rip.” It was her way of saying when mistakes are made, you will have to rip them out. (Genius, no?) It was also her way of accepting that […]
Let me see if I can make sense of President Obama’s debt policy for the United States. Oh, that’s right. Nothing makes sense from this President. While he is on TV discussing how concerned he is that America might default on the nation’s debt, it was only less than a year ago that he directed […]
I’m not sure how much evidence Americans need to realize the guy in the White House is a serious Communist, but the creation of Obama’s new Rural Council is about the most any hopey-changey person would want. The executive order that created the Council, signed in June and attracting scant attention, states that, “To enhance […]
