America Is Not Fair, Boo Hoo

About 165 miles due west of me, as I write, the democrats are having their "Obama Love Fest" otherwise known as the Democratic Party National Convention, but known by conservative Tar Heels as the "Communist Convention." It is one of America's largest gatherings of Socialists, Communists, Marxists, Leninists, followers of Engels, plus their associated rabble in the streets, which include assorted freaks, anarchists, commies, and fruitcakes. All of this is taking place just a few short miles from my hometown -- and it makes me sick!

Obama Sells Out Israel!

As the evidence of Obama's favoritism for the Muslim world mounts, seemingly on a daily basis, one can be excused for thinking that Obama would hold the door open for a Muslim takeover of the United States.

We’ve Had It With Obama’s Socialism

I marvel at the MSM's spinning of the polls and Obama's obvious glide to oblivion in order to paper over what will be a devastating Democratic Party loss of the Oval Office and, very likely, the US Senate, as well, in less than seventy days.

This IS A Religious War!

It never fails to amuse me -- and fill me with wonder -- at how we mortals will work so diligently and go to such great lengths to deny the obvious. Example: "undocumented immigrant" = illegal alien.

What If ... ?

For weeks now there have been all sorts of stories of various government agencies buying up millions of rounds of ammunition. Try as they might, those agencies/the US government have/has not been able to present a plausible story to convince American citizens that they are NOT up to something nefarious.

Learning To Live With A Nuclear Iran

If the window of opportunity has not already closed for a preemptive strike against Iran's nuclear facilities, it is ALMOST closed and closing rapidly.

Neil Armstrong: Trail-Blazer To The Future

Neil Alden Armstrong (August 5, 1930 – August 25, 2012) was an American astronaut, test pilot, aerospace engineer, university professor and United States Naval Aviator. He was the first person to walk on the Moon.

Obama’s Take No Prisoners War-Fighting

Remember when we had a republican administration in Washington, DC, and the leftist media were all atwitter about treatment of prisoners taken in the war on terror. Remember all the yammering about torture, including water boarding and such? The media strutted around in their hair shirts while their hand-wringing, and brow-beating, and shedding of "woe is me" crocodile tears went on and on and on. It was pathetic.

Did Obama Maneuver Israel Into October Attack on Iran?

In the past few days I have become deeply concerned that, once again, the American people are being "played." It says "something" when an American citizen feels he cannot trust his government to do the right thing when called upon, much less do the right thing for the right reasons!

America on Alert!

"A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people." -- Declaration of Independence, July 4th, 1776. There is a stream of anxiety running through America that is threatening to become a full fledged tsunami. It is fueled by deep, abiding suspicion of President Obama and his penchant for an overly strong centralized government.

Intellectual Lightweights For Obama

I happen to reside in that geographic section of North Carolina sometimes known as "Hollywood East." Several movies and TV series are being shot all around me currently. A number of movies were shot, in part, just blocks from my office.

Bread and Circuses

"In modern usage, the phrase "Bread and Circuses" is taken to describe a populace that no longer values civic virtues and the public life. To many across the political spectrum, left and right, it connotes a supposed triviality and frivolity that characterized the Roman Republic prior to its decline into the autocratic monarchy characteristic of the later Roman Empire's transformation about 44 B.C."

Taking Away America’s Big Stick

"Speak softly and carry a big stick." Those words are attributed to US President Theodore Roosevelt. It was, as it turns out, a fairly effective policy for Teddy, and it would seem, for the US for many decades. Then we let our guard down and Pearl Harbor went up in flames with well over two thousand Americans killed in a Japanese sneak attack on a beautiful Sunday morning in December of 1941.

Ryan Great Choice For Romney Now—Get ‘er Done!

Romney's choice of Congressman Paul Ryan of Wisconsin as his running mate was a tad unexpected by this scribe.

Presidential Campaigns of 1828 and 2012—Both DIRTY!

Last Spring, I wrote that the Presidential Campaign of 2012 would prove to be one of the dirtiest campaigns in the history of the US.

General David Petraeus For Romney’s Veep?

"The retired Army four-star general, who has been lionized by many Republicans, led the charge to allow homosexuals to serve openly in the military--more than a year before the Obama administration repealed the armed forces' "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy."

Who Pulls Obama’s Strings?

There is something very telling about an incumbent president asking an "impeached" president to go to bat for him. It's sort of like someone in court for, oh, jay walking, having a car thief testify as to the character of the accused in court. It's wildly weird!

Mullahs, Murder, Mayhem, and Iran

One can only hope the American security/intelligence agencies understand that we (America) are dealing with a bunch of theocratic nut cases in Iran and not a group of logical, critically thinking, adult human beings.

Freedom Can Not Be Bestowed And Is Rarely Restored

Is it possible to give someone freedom? Think about it. This is profound -- especially at this critical time in America.

Christians, Cities, Chickens, Cynics, and Idiots

"Well, guilty as charged," said Cathy when asked about the company's position (on traditional marriage). "We are very much supportive of the family -- the biblical definition of the family unit. We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God thanks for that.
