Everywhere I look, on every issue, I am seeing America split into two camps. You are either a “Progressive” big government, gay promoting, pro-amnesty, green zealot, or you are a “Constitutionalist” small government, freedom lover. Our country divided is unfriendly, uncivil, unhappy, and suffering from a lack of cohesive citizenship, pitting false ideas of victimhood […]
This is kind of a “which came first, the chicken or the egg?” question. Over the past couple of years I’ve been wondering just where is the origin of “government off the rails?” Is it a top-down problem or a bottom-up problem? Who is setting the policies that are spending the country into a $14 […]
Listening to President Obama’s latest campaign/policy speeches, all I can think of is the Shakespearean quote: “Me thinks thou doth protest too much.” (Hamlet, Act III, Scene II) Another Obama observer, James E. Rogan, writing at World Net Daily points out the following techniques of the Progressive President: Attack opponents endlessly, but always end the […]
After seeing Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged Part I,” I found the name of Sen. Dick Durbin’s “Main Street Fairness Act” sickeningly hilarious. Rand nails the hypocrisy of the language of the left in her book. Trust me, there is no “fairness” in Durbin’s bill, or any other euphemistically titled contrivance the Democrats have come up […]
Some years ago I was without electricity, water, and phone service for about three weeks due to Hurricane Hugo. It was one of those experiences you don’t forget. I was much younger then, with teenagers in the house who chipped in to help chop up the multitude of trees we had down in the yard. […]
What good are Presidents? Not much, if you ask me. From both Roosevelts to Wilson to Johnson to Nixon to Carter to Bush to Clinton to Bush to Obama, I’ve decided modern, corrupt, and Progressive Presidents are time bomb creators. What made me think of this is Carter and the Community Reinvestment Act, the time […]
The idea that we all love nature and do not wish to wreck the planet is a given. However, Sustainable Development NGOs and nonprofit conservancy organizations have created a lucrative and diabolical network across the entire nation by using our love of nature and the planet as a ruse to socially restructure our laws, our […]
If someone told you that some or all of the property you own could be confiscated against your will for a common area, an open area, or a walking or biking trail, what would you say? You search for and find that perfect property to buy, only to find out that a 10- or 20-foot […]
One of the main themes of President Obama’s SOTUS speech was his ad nauseum support for “green” energy’s (supposed) solutions to getting America out of buying foreign oil. If you honestly believe that “green” energies are going to fuel our country by any reliable or cost-efficient manner, you might want to go soak your head. […]
My mother used to tell me a story about villagers who were unhappy with their lives. She said they each put their own troubles in a bag with their name on it and then carried the bags to a hilltop. When all of the bags were presented, they each had the opportunity to go to […]
