Fooled us twice ... gettin’ ready for Obamacare

The ObamaCare SCOTUS decision is an alarm bell for all Citizens. For proof, look at what is happening to the US Military. It is coming soon to your Neighborhood.

“Bad Big Daddy”

"The wise are instructed by reason, average minds by experience, the stupid by necessity and the brute by instinct." - Marcus Tullius Cicero God Bless Joan Swirsky for her recent Canada Free Press article, "Bad Mommy." It is wonderful compendium about how America missed or ignored the signals of a growing Marxist menace in America.

An ‘Alarmist’ Global Warmer Comes Clean

Being an alarmist about Global Warming is far less desirable these days than being a Teenage Werewolf or a Teenage Vampire.

Obama’s “Catholic Plan”

"What the sage poets taught by th' heavenly muse, Storied of old in high immortal verse Of dire chimeras and enchanted isles, And rifted rocks whose entrance leads to Hell, --- For such there be, but unbelief is blind." - John Milton, Comus, ll 515-519

Oil Independence, America: One Last Chance

Americans need to now now, before the election, what is at stake with energy prices.

Voting for Faith, Reason, and Heart

I have a favorite film about sports. It is entitled "Miracle." It is about the miraculous 1980 US Olympic Hockey Team. This young team of college lads clawed its way to the Gold Medal round, defeating the Swedes, the East Germans, the Czechs, the Finns, and most dramatically, the Soviet Union. Even knowing the outcome of the movie, I sit on the edge of my seat and cheer out loud [maybe you wouldn't, but I do] for the unabashedly patriotic themes about competition, faith, and family. Kurt Russell is fantastic in the Role of Coach Herb Brooks [who sadly passed away just before the movie screened].

Rule Number One

I thought to share with readers a humorous saying, backed up by a story in fact. A friend sent me this picture of a fox amid a group of hounds acting like it belongs there. The caption reads:

"RULE # ONE When you are in deep sh*t, Look straight ahead, Keep your mouth shut & say nothing."

“Freedom!”

"I rejoice that America has resisted. Three millions of people, so dead to all the feelings of liberty, as voluntarily to submit to be slaves, would have been fit instruments to make slaves of the rest." - William Pitt the Elder, Speech to the House of Commons, 1741 I was going through some "old stuff" [aka memories] in some old boxes and discovered a document that I want to share with you, my reader. It was technically known as a "Movement Order," but it was commonly called a "Flag Order" by all of us serving in West Berlin because of the prominent American Flag.

Allen West on the Marines Incident: ‘Shut Your Mouth, War Is Hell’

A voice of sanity. Thank you, Congressman Allen West [LTC, USA, Retired]. May I suggest that Her Royal Highness HR Clinton and Professor Panetta take all of their liberal civilian buddies out to fight against the Taliban (once they have rid this country of these "monstrous" Marines])? Come, teach all of us Active, Retired and Veteran military how to lead soldiers in combat, and what their punishments should be for what amounts to malicious mischief.

Operation Market-Guarding: A Buck too Far

“It costs a lot of money to die comfortably.” - A Luxurious Death, Samuel Butler　 Who is Bain Capital? Visit the site and see for yourself. I have excerpted two quotes from the site to get things going:

A Reagan Conservative

A recent article in the Daily Caller about Rick Santorum made an argument of what it means to be a Reagan Conservative. Saturday night [01/07] on the ABC GOP Debate coverage, I heard a lot of fast talk, and complex terminology. I remarked to my wife that this sounded more like a reading of the tax code and civil laws than an actual debate. In two hours of blather, my own preferred candidate, Governor Perry, was allowed to speak perhaps two or three whole minutes before being abruptly and rudely cut-off by ABC's Diane Sawyer or George Stephanopoulos. No kidding. What is going on here?

Iran Mocks Obama

"You know giving up the canal itself might be a better deal if we could throw in the state dept." - Ronald Reagan, 1978, speaking of Jimmy Carter's Treaty with Panama giving up U.S. control of the Panama Canal. "Reagan in His Own Hand." Iran gives the U.S. a Christmas present: Closing the Straits of Hormuz. Perhaps you missed this tidbit of news while the press muses 98% of their time about Newt-Romney.

Thou wicked, lazy Servant

“To one he gave five talents of money, to another two talents, and to another one talent, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey.” - Matthew 25:15 Dedicated to the brave American GIs and Allies, of World War Two who fought the Great Crusade that began on this day 70 years ago … December 7, 1941. I have often heard the above excerpt from Jesus’ “Parable of the Talents” used as a text-proof that Christians are supposed to be Socialists. Every time I hear this, I grab the duct tape to wrap around my forehead so that my head does not explode [apologies to Glenn Beck]. This is, of course, sophistry and folly on their part. Socialism is an economic construct of Utopian Collectivists of the mid-Eighteenth Century.

“Zucottis” are not the Sans-Culottes

"There is only one step from the sublime to the ridiculous." - Napoleon Bonaparte Can you imagine being the paid SEIU head-bashing clown-agitator on Wall Street that has to deal with this:

Looking for a few good Republicans

“Labour to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire, called conscience.” - George Washington I begin this article with a salute to my fellow veterans and retired military for their steadfast courage and dedication to their oaths to protect and serve our great Country’s Constitution. May we all adhere to George Washington’s charge.

Meltdown?

"The eye never has enough of seeing, nor the ear its fill of hearing. What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun." - King Solomon, Ecclesiastes, Chapter 1. I recently received this Four-Part Series from 2010, "Meltdown: The Men Who Crashed The World." I did not have time to watch every minute of all four parts entirely but I did dip into them all, and review them in significant enough depth to comment. It is a very interesting: a CBC Documentary ... well filmed and produced ... but from an extremely Liberal, Big Government and propagandistic point of view.

Rick Perry: Shaped By Faith

" The key to being a good manager is keeping the people who hate me away from those who are still undecided." - Casey Stengel It appears that Governor Perry has quite a challenge in securing the GOP nomination if the pettiness of the last GOP debate and the fear and loathing in the mainstream media are any indication. Well here we are. We finally have an upfront, wear-it-on-your-sleeve, tell-it-like-you-see-it Christian running for President and you'd think Godzilla had just waded out of the Gulf of Mexico and was threatening us all with destruction. Have Conservatives gone mad?

Kinky for Perry?

Kinky Friedman endorsing Rick Perry? This is significant in Texas. For those of you in the dark, Kinky Friedman is a Texas comedian, singer, poet, pundit, observer and all-round gadfly on the rump of any horse's arse politician. He is the Texas answer to Jackie Mason. If you don't know who Jackie Mason is, you just might be a Redneck ... or very young.

“Let Them Go Their Way”

"Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory there is no survival." - Winston S. Churchill, Speech, House of Commons, May 13, 1940 Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a Herculean task at hand: The unconditional dismissal of Barack Hussein Obama, and the dismantling of his horrendous "Fundamental Transformation" of America.

“When Those Saints Go Marchin’ In”

The noun, "Palestine," is a modern cognate for the name "Philistine." Philistines no longer exist. Palestinians have never existed. It is good to maintain right-headed thinking. How does one do that in this day of obfuscation and disinformation?
