You would think that keeping that old car running would qualify very well for ‘sustainability’ tax credits or some gold stars from the Reuse and Recycle crowd, wouldn’t you? After all, keeping that old car means not ditching more metal into the junkyard where old cars go to die. I’m not wasting money on trading […]
Where did it go? Equal protection, I mean. I think about this subject often. Mainly I see instances daily that prove this Constitutional protection has disappeared. I think this issue is the crux of the entire matter of our out-of-control government. We can discuss social issues, military and foreign war issues, economic issues, all sorts of issues, but equal […]
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.

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 […]
