Sunday brings us the Charlotte Observer and another of their ubiquitous rants in support of bigger, irresponsible government. Mr. Kevin Strawn, no doubt a shill for the union styled North Carolina Education Association, writes about Monday Teacher’s Walkout, prior to its occurrence. He gives us as examples teachers who left teaching in public school to […]
My mother, as I’m sure yours did, taught me to “Never Trust A Stranger”. But in the long march of human development, progress occurs only in an environment of trust. An environment of largely unearned trust at that. Limiting our trust only to our circle of family, friends and colleagues would severely limit our ability […]
Greetings. Below is my wife’s (Tamrah Bordini) article on why we will homeschool our daughter and the experience with CMS: I have never wanted to homeschool, although I admire those parents who can and do. I never considered it myself until I met the mother of one of my daughters preschool friends at the pool […]
A recent Wall Street Journal brings us the daily dose of opinions and letters. The lead editorial tells us 90,000,000 Americans, who could be working, are not working. That is 10,000,000 more than when Obama was first elected. “To get more private jobs requires faster economic growth, ….two big concerns are regulation and ObamaCare. “But” Consumers and small business owners […]
In a recent Los Angeles Times article entitled “Four facts about the national debt you may not know,” assistant managing editor David Lauter claimed that “the U.S. debt burden is starting to decline. That’s right – it’s going down, not up.” Likewise, Michael Hiltzik, a Pulitzer Prize-winning business columnist of the Los Angeles Times, soon thereafter wrote that the national debt has […]
Do you remember that phrase from the old “Lost in Space” TV show, which initially ran from 1965 to 1968? It chronicled the adventures of the Robinson family who were, of course, lost in space. It was almost too scary for me. They were always getting into trouble. But the boy Will Robinson was fortunate, […]
Back in June, I called for County Commission Vice Chair Kim Ratliff’s resignation after her overtly racist remarks calling for our new County Manager to be someone who is “not a white male.” – She refused to resign. I then called for her colleagues from BOTH political parties to censure Ratliff and remove her from […]
Quick question: Do you think government should be run more like a business? Now that you have an answer in your head, give this a thought… Privately-owned businesses are like dictatorships, or at best monarchies. The owners run things, their managers are appointed and everyone else works at the whims of the higher ups. Even […]
In a recent speech at Binghamton University in which he lobbied for spending on various welfare programs, President Obama claimed that “we don’t have an urgent deficit crisis. The only crisis we have is one that’s manufactured in Washington, and it’s ideological.” Continuing, he declared that his political opponents fabricated this crisis so they can argue “that […]
Does anybody believe Roy Cooper is intending to run for re-election for AG? This is his announcing his run for Governor in 2016. What he writes in this article is a full list of the Rev. Billy “Bark” Barber’s talking points, just stated in lawyer speak, not hate-spewing racist’s speak. It is a perfect recitation […]
