Gun Making: An American Cottage Industry

I made my first fully operational hand gun while I was in junior high school. I carried that weapon on my person every where I went for a long time.

Russia’s Syrian Trap For Obama

The love/hate relationship between Russia and the US has been has been a back and forth phenomenon since the US kicked Russia out of the Northwestern territory and off the west coast.

Romney Needs to Throw A Fit

As a southern boy from South Carolina I'm a passionate fellow. Back before revisionists got a hold on American history, the state of South Carolina was famous, or infamous (depending upon your location north or south of the Mason-Dixon line.), as a passionate state. Sandlappers were first to secede from the Union and the only seceding state in which the vote to secede was unanimous!

Coup d’état—American Style?

There is a feeling of deep unease in America today. That is especially so among those of us who keep an eye and an ear on the secretive power hungry Obama Administration.

Obama’s Surprising October Surprise

The famous (or infamous) October surprise has become a thing of dread as presidential elections wind down to the last month, or so, of an election cycle.

Obama’s “Civilian National Security Force”

Four years ago this month -- on July 2nd, 2008 -- Obama delivered a speech in Boulder, Colorado in which he promised the creation and establishment of a "Civilian National Security Force." He further promised it would be "just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded as the US Military."

America’s 50/50 Chance At Freedom

This July Fourth America celebrates her 236 birthday. To modern man, 236 years sounds like a long time. Its not. As the lifetimes of northern and western countries go, America is still a child, an infant, even.

Death of a Nation

Americans are about to learn why the 11 states of the Old Confederacy decided to leave the Union back in the 1860s. State legislatures all across America, not just in the southern states, are about to feel the clinching mailed fist of the federal government. Some are bound to balk and get their hackles up and, eventually, want out.

America Is NOW A Socialist Police State

Obama and his fellow socialists in the White House and Congress probably did not realize that all the self congratulatory fist pumping , high fives, and atta-boys at the decision on Obamacare by the Supreme Court was a bit premature. Yes. They won the battle, but the war has only begun.

REPEAL OBAMACARE

Obama won in the Supreme Court but the Republican base in the American electorate has just been fired up and can't wait to get to the polls in November.

Supreme Court Goes Left If Obama Wins

For some reason, not much is made of the fact that the Supreme Court's political philosophy is a direct result of the party in power when vacancies suddenly appear through the passing of a Justice or the retirement of a Justice.

The Enemy At America’s Gate

Like the barbarians at the gates of Rome , the UN stands at America 's portal raging against the freedom of the people of the country they love to hate.

Anti-Intellectualism or Constitutional Conservatism?

There's a new term being tossed about today by the folks on the political left. Not surprising since they seem captive more to their emotions than folks on the political right.

Whatever Happened to “Consent of the Governed?”

Some in America would argue that the American President, Barack Hussein Obama, is harkening back to the time when the vast majority of the governed were ignorant serfs, or slaves, held in a form of bondage by a king, and a faith, that informed them that the king's right to rule was approved by God and theirs was but to obey unquestionably. In those days, kings ruled by a right believed given them by God. It was referred to as "the divine right of kings."

The Damage Already Done By Obamacare

What a mess! Get used to those three words. We are going to hear them rather a great deal in coming months and even years -- that is, of course, if the US Supreme Court overturns Obamacare (The so-called Affordable Care Act).

Obama To Take US Into A Proxy War with Russia?

Maybe it's me. Maybe I'm just getting old. But it seems to me that the current occupant of the Oval Office is trying cussed hard to show his "warrior" colors.

NC Racial Justice Act Aims To End Death Penalty

There has been a movement in North Carolina for many years now to end the death penalty. Problem is -- the people of the state don't want to end it. The majority of voters in NC believe that if one willfully takes the life of another human being he/she must be held to account by having their life taken by the state. It is simple, really: You willingly take the life of another - you forfeit your own life. 'Nuff said, right? Well, apparently not. At least for the liberal left.

Greece In"Grexit” Mode and Spain In"Spanic” Mode Russia In “Pounce” Mode, Europe Faces Disaster!

I seem to recall that a number of years ago, the mainstream media in the US decided to shrink its news gathering operations overseas to save money. Granted, that has been a decade, or even two decades, ago. In any event, with today's world wide economic collapse a looming possibility, I find it aggravating that I have to depend upon foreign news sources to learn what, exactly, is going on in Europe.

America’s Socialist President?

In my opinion -- yes, Obama is a socialist as well as a Marxist, a Leninist, and a statist.

Democrats Roll Out Racism in Presidential Campaign

Already those of us who don't support Obama and are actively working to see that he is not reelected are being termed as racists.
