Open Forum Friday
Tossed out for general discussion and debate; feedback and comments encouraged: * Convicted murderer Ronnie Lee Gardner was executed by firing squad in Utah last night. Would you have pulled the trigger? Not just philosophically, as in supporting the death penalty; but literally, as in stepping behind the firing line? * Mayor Anthony Foxx has […]
Media Blasts Obama’s Address
And it was friendly-fire, coming from ultra-leftist MSNBC hosts Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann and Howard Fineman. Real Clear Politics has the video here. Some pertinent shots taken at President Obama’s Oval Office Address on the oil spill: Olbermann: “It was a great speech if you were on another planet for the last 57 days.” Matthews: […]
“Choose Life” Plates Create A Stir
Twenty-one states have issued “Choose Life” license plates. Four states have approved the plates and legislation is pending in sixteen others. Where does North Carolina fit in, and why do the plates draw opposition in some circles?

Tea Party For Robert Gates?
Interesting article from Politico – “Robert Gates may get lift from tea parties” – that ties to the argument of shrinking the federal government by changing foreign policy, from Philip Giraldi’s column that we posted over the weekend. From Politico: As Defense Secretary Robert Gates takes on General Electric, Boeing, Lockheed Martin and other “powerful […]
Shrink Government By Changing Foreign Policy
Written by Philip M. Giraldi: The Tea Party phenomenon has attracted a good deal of both good and bad attention in the media. Though it would perhaps be a stretch to describe it as a movement in that it has only limited organization and focus, it does tap into a genuine disconnect between the American […]
Congress Doing What It Does Best
And no surprise that it entails hiking taxes and spending copious amounts of other people’s money. The latest from The Heritage Foundation reports that Congress is on a binge, increasing spending by $174 billion and adding $134 billion to the deficit, while hiding it under the guise of so-called “must pass” tax provisions. The gruesome […]
