Voter ID has been a hot topic in North Carolina over the past year, especially with the Presidential election coming up. I personally have no idea why people are against Voter ID; it just seems logical to me that someone would have to show a form of identity in order to vote, but of course, […]
After we came out of the church, we stood talking for some time together of Bishop Berkeley’s ingenious sophistry to prove the nonexistence of matter, and that every thing in the universe is merely ideal. I observed, that though we are satisfied his doctrine is not true, it is impossible to refute it. I never shall forget the alacrity […]
The Democrats are inconsolable over their huge loss to Republican Governor Scott Walker. The people of Wisconsin were smart enough to figure out that Democrats would destroy their state even further. The leftists took to the Web to tell Americans what they think of being thwarted. Some of the best reactions are on Twitter. This is what […]
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 was born in 1954. No thanks to me, the United States contributed 26% of the world’s economic output (GDP) in that year. Western Europe produced 24%, and India/China together produced only 9%. America was the undisputed economic superpower in the 1950’s; the envy of the world back then. Our cars had fins, our girls […]
There are times as a father when your son can just plain make you proud. I look back on some of those times now, as my oldest son Harry embarks on the next part of his scouting journey, which I hope and pray will one day bring him to the rank of Eagle Scout. The […]
The 2012 presidential election is shaping up to include an argument over opportunity versus equality. The American economy has been stagnant for a decade. Income for working men has been stagnant (or even contracting) for 40 years. Why? Forty years ago is when America started abdicating its classical high-growth monetary policy, the gold standard. We abandoned […]
Is this election a defining moment in United States history? It certainly seems so. On one side we have Barack Obama. On the other we have Mitt Romney. What choice could be more disparate? Certainly Ron Paul would be more adamant about reducing the size of government and its influence in our lives, but this […]
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.” What about corporations? Apparently, some corporations are more equal than others, or perhaps some are “people” whereas others aren’t. It depends on how an individual corporation’s political twig is bent. A federal judge recently issued an injunction against a Texas law that […]
Yesterday our illustrious Vice President, Joseph Robinette Biden, attended an ultra-swanky fundraiser that we the people could have attended for $10,000 a plate at Erskine Bowels middle class McMansion. There were dozens of law enforcement, Secret Service and conveniently scheduled utility repairmen, all of whom were very courteous and professional. I went with a few of the local Tea […]
