U. S. Leaders Could Learn from Our Allies

It appears that some of the Western Nations have leaders with backbone and perhaps a remedy for salvation against the insidious forces of jihadist Islamic terror; forces that insist that the terrorists are not the “true” and “peaceful” Islamists. But how are we to know? It would be foolhardy to say the least, and recklessly stupid to be more exact to wait until the crimes against us have been committed to determine if the perpetrators are real terrorists or peaceful Islamists who have turned.

Disgraced U. S. Marine Traitor John Murtha Finds Compatriot in Judge Carter

One thing the U. S. Marine Corps has always been known for is their absolute fidelity to that military force by its members. That they take great pride in having just accomplished winning the title of U. S. Marine after rigid feats of endurance and skill, is one of their highest honors. Another great honor is knowing that the Marine standing beside you can be depended upon for fidelity, honor and courage should you be in battle together.

How About Starting Now to Reclaim America from the Muslims?

After the sickening news of yesterday when a Muslim American soldier’s clothing brazenly opened fire into a crowd of other American soldiers and citizens, killing at least 13 and wounding nearly 30 very innocent non-Muslim American citizens I’m ready for some GOOD CHANGE.

That Star-Spangled Banner Does Yet Wave

The news of the November 03, 2009 elections did contain some very welcome and happy outcomes for conservative Americans. Probably the most joyous was the stunned silence of the Obama ‘MOUTH’ machine. Not having to watch him take over another microphone in front of a TV camera puffing his head up into the skies and telling us how great he and his programs are was indeed a treat.

Our Supreme Court is Not Doing a Supreme Job

When it comes to rating the job efficiency of the United States Supreme Court it looks as though the glass is half-empty, or perhaps even a bit more than half.

Obama’s Killing Us With His Kindness—to Others

Each time I sit down to put together some information that I feel the readers would like to know about, for some reason or other, it always comes up “Obama”. I realize there are other news items of interest out there, but when I weigh them on the “importance factor” scale, they don’t add up to the “Obama” items. So let’s look at some more late-breaking tidbits concerning that man.

Mr. Obama, Put Up That Fence

Twenty two years ago this past June, Ronald Reagan, one of America’s greatest and most country-loving presidents stood at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, Germany and called out to Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev to “Tear down this wall!” challenging him to destroy the Berlin Wall, the barrier that separated Allied and Soviet controlled sections of Berlin, Germany to allow freedom to spread to the Eastern Soviet controlled sector.

Without A Shot Being Fired, A Dictator Has Taken Over the United States

Aided and abetted by imposters posing as authentic American citizens the United States of America has been taken over by an authentic dictator. How could so many millions of U. S. citizens just gently cede their heritage and birthright so easily; without more than a whimper?

Get the U.S. Out of the U. N and the U. N. Out of the U. S.

As stated in previous columns here, the first thing good, honest Americans must do is to take back Congress in 2010. No small chore, but signs point to this being the opportune time to do it. And this change will be good for the country as opposed to the current disaster.

Our Home Half of the Ninth Inning is Only 14 Months Away

On Sunday, September 06, 2009 a column was written by Neal Ross in “The Federal Observer” titled “Time Is Running Out” in which he talks about the current White House Administration and how it is seriously undermining our cherished Constitution and readying us for socialism and what we should do about it.

Obama’s Arrogant Advisers Could Tip the Power Balance

Van Jones is one of the new kids on the block for the most contentious, unprofessional, presidential administration in our country’s history. Just the overall demeanor of these people and their attitudes towards American citizens who are accustomed to civil discourse from their elected servants shows a definite lack of class.

Are Our Days as A Great Nation on the Way to Oblivion?

This piece is not the product of a distorted imagination, it is a very possible scenario that could occur in about a dozen days from now. Our position in the United States has grown very precarious due to our negligence in permitting an unqualified, unknown and untested charlatan to usurp our highest elected office as well as a majority of liberals to support him.

Union Labor Head as Czar of All U. S. Industries? – INCREDIBLE !

Is there anyone out there who needs any more proof that the usurper that sits illegally in the President’s chair in the Oval Office of the White House is, bit by bit, piece by piece, and day by day, in the process of totally destroying the democratic republic that once was the United States?

Obama Health Care Death Panels, Rumors or Real?

As more and more parts of the Obama Mandatory Health Plan, often referred to as “reform” but more realistically becoming known as the destruction of the world’s greatest medical system, questions about certain parts that seem to say one thing and mean another keep cropping up; Section 1233 of H.R. 3200, which is titled “Advance Care Planning Consultation” is one of those slippery slopes.

ObamaCare is a Jumbled Jungle

Ever looked at a pot of stew cooking on the stove? What an eclectic assortment of ingredients ranging from meats to veggies and #. Beef, turkey, and pork are common as are onions, peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, corn, green beans, often white beans and kidney beans, celery, rutabaga, zucchini, squash and well, anything that’s handy in the fridge or cupboard might be among the fixin’s to make it a jumbled and mysterious mess.

A Very Historic Day, for the Country and for the Marines

Today is August 07, 2009. Sixty seven years ago in 1942 a very important event in America’s history took place on an island in the South Pacific. The reason for my writing this on this date, is that there is great doubt in my mind that you will see any mention about the moment of which I speak in the Mainstream Media, or for that matter probably no other place in the communications world, and I feel an obligation to the few people left among us that participated in its undertaking.
