The Politics Of Emotions

Oscar Wilde said: “The emotions of man are stirred more quickly than man’s intelligence.” That single sentence by Mr. Wilde, from a very long time ago, explains everything you need to know about the American left, indeed, leftists around the world.

Hillary Is Already Running

Ladies and gentlemen: The Next President of the United States -- Hillary Clinton!

Undocumented Democrats; They’re Just Pawns

The GOP is making a huge mistake chasing after the Hispanic vote. It is a waste of time, a waste of money, and a waste of effort. In fact, it is a pathetic joke the GOP is playing on itself. And it will be almost as successful as the Republican Party's wooing of the black vote in America. I think we all know how THAT turned out.

A “Mill Hill” Boy’s Reflection

I spent my days as a wee lad in a company house on a company lot beside a company street in a company village. The company furnished the water and electricity … and my dad’s job.

The Iron Lady Leaves Us

Margaret Thatcher, Former Prime Minister of Great Britain, has passed away leaving a vast void in the ranks of conservatives the world over.

Whatever Happened To Faith?

If I may be allowed, I'd like to paraphrase Saint Paul (I believe it was) who said: "Faith is the belief in things not seen." What Paul actually said is this: "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

Rotting The Soul Of A Nation

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious, but it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly, but the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their garments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear." --- Marcus Tullius Cicero 42 BC.

I count myself fortunate, and even lucky, to have been born into the last generation of independent freedom-loving Americans. That’s on the one hand. On the other, I feel depressed that my generation will be the first to see a free America voluntarily choose slavery as a way of life. As we look about us today, we can see the effects of socialism: A nation in decline, a nation financially broke, a nation of people depressed, hurting, and angry, a nation deeply divided by the race baiting and class warfare imposed on them by a major political party in its grab for the power to rule America as the “elite class” in a socialist America. We refer, of course, to the Democratic Party.

America/Sodom/Gomorrah

I began writing this piece on "Good Friday," the day upon which we Christians remember the crucifixion, death, and entombment of Christ.

Pagan America

As socialism wraps it’s cold, icy, fingers around freedom’s throat, as I think back, the most obvious of the “warning signs” was/is the so-called “Green Movement.”

Are We Being “Set-Up?”

I can't put my finger on it, but I have this nagging feeling that Senator Dianne Feinstein’s assault weapons ban is not gone. My paranoia tells me the democrats are going to squeeze it through a "back door" somehow.

Obama: The American Chávez

“These last few years we’ve seen an unacceptable abuse of power at home. We’ve paid a heavy price for having a president whose priority is expanding his own power.” You'd never guess it today, but these words are from a speech by President Obama back in 2007 when he was a candidate for President.

Deceit.  The Lies That Enslave A Nation

I've been on this earth quite a number of years now. I have endured any number of politicians. I have suffered -- and prospered -- under any number of presidential administrations from FDR to present.

The Scourge of Child-Proof Medicine Bottles

I once saw a cartoon which spoofed "secure" medicine bottles. It had a pill bottle label that read: "Take one capsule twice daily -- or as often as you can get the lid off."

Outlaw Telemarketing in the US!

Enough is ENOUGH! It is time to put an end to the terror of telephone telemarketers in America. I have had ALL my phones listed on the government's "Do Not Call" list since the very first day I was allowed to sign up. The telemarketer calls are as bad today as they were then.

Universal Background Check = Backdoor Gun Registry

Just so we are clear -- I am against the proposed universal background check for gun purchasers.

The End Is, Ur, ALMOST Nigh

In keeping with today's custom of placing everyone in a class, group, a pigeon hole of some kind, you can place me in with the: "It ain't gonna be so bad" crowd.

An Everlasting Mark Of Infamy

“I cannot accept, your canon that we are to judge pope and king unlike other men, with a favorable presumption that they do no wrong. If there is any presumption, it is the other way against holders of power ... Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”… Lord Acton

Obama -vs- The US Constitution

I'm so old I can remember when anyone who did not agree with the government of Soviet Socialist Russia (or the Soviet Union) would be arrested by the government and placed in Soviet mental institutions because, the Soviet government had determined, you see, that anyone NOT agreeing with them was obviously INSANE. Often times the mentally challenged prisoner disappeared into the Gulag system never to be heard from again.

The Curse Of The LO/INFO Voter

The LO/INFO voter -- sometimes referred to as LIVs -- are a curse on America. It is they who are driving America's "post constitution" government. They, however, are SO low-information they have no idea their influence may lie at the root of the problems America faces today.

Obama’s Speeches Chilling

The crowd was roaring. The lone man, ramrod straight, in his impeccable brown uniform would step forward toward the lectern, then pause and let his eyes wander over the thousands of up turned faces -- all staring at him, waiting for him to speak. And they waited -- and they waited.
