FYI…

As we ponder the President’s war on fossil fuels and the catastrophic effect his recent (executive) efforts at regulation will have on the broader economy and jobs, I seem to remember a certain Mr. James Hansen speaking before Congress, and … Continue reading

Press Corps punch lines…

The White House Correspondents’ Dinner is entertaining if nothing else, although there is a coziness if you will, which clearly puts this POTUS at ease among a majority in the press. It was certainly a “nerd prom” nevertheless. I did pick up … Continue reading

Fallen Journalism…

Common sense dictates, that if you don’t believe the President and his re-election team intentionally misled the American people on Benghazi for political gain, then you’re probably a staunch partisan sycophant willing to swallow any and all ideological poison fed … Continue reading

Racism realty…

Ultimately, whether it’s Cliven Bundy, Donald Sterling, or any other idiot whose mouth is going before his/her brain is in gear, the damage they do will certainly be exploited to its maximum, albeit regrettable potential by those of less than … Continue reading

Time is short…

As we look back through the ages, we always discover the evil ones attempting to re-write history. In extreme cases we’ve witnessed unimaginable genocide as a “final solution” to the propagandized threat of a dictatorial regime. Subsequently, bloody and costly wars … Continue reading

We have the government we elected…

The Bundy Ranch incident is symptomatic of a broader issue, and frankly something I’ve been predicting for quite a while. You see my fellow Americans, our system of government was never intended to function as such, and is collapsing under … Continue reading

Free will to win or lose…

One need only read the letters and papers of the Framers to understand that our founding documents were written to empower individuals, not government. That premise frightens Liberal Progressives right out of their noggins. The raging debate over the Second … Continue reading

Who are the real haters???

There is something to be said for the 24 hour news cycle, in terms of exposure to stories which might otherwise be obscured or intentionally buried. In the case of two young sisters who were part of a “Pro-Life” demonstration at … Continue reading

Journalistic Integrity, a dying attribute…

It is regrettable to note Sharyl Attkissons departure from CBS. Not because this good investigative reporter will have any problem finding work, (attention FOX), but rather because it speaks to the obvious decline in the integrity of “The Big Three”. I mean … Continue reading

Now, if it were Susan Rice…

Free speech on the modern American Campus is not so free as one would think. Moreover, it usually only applies to “Liberal” free speech. That said, the recent flap over former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice speaking at Rutgers University, is … Continue reading

“Common Core”…

When my young son wanted to do some extra credit work for his middle school “social studies” class, I was obviously happy to help. Regrettably however, that assignment, and the eventual discussion it generated, confirmed for me what many have … Continue reading

Special Counsel please…

It is certainly curious that Lois Lerner’s attorney has included immunity as a condition of her testimony. One could assume she has something to hide. (Really?) One could also reasonably assume she’s protecting someone else. (Really??) So far as I can … Continue reading

God’s Work???

So let me understand this. We can no longer talk about God in the classroom, and our government legislates businesses owners must set aside their religious convictions. Those same elected officials facilitate and promote an entitlement society, devoid of personal … Continue reading

Commissioner Ajit Pai of the FCC is one of those people you’re always thankful is in a position to act when it comes to safeguarding our Constitutional liberty. You see it turns out he understands the Constitution, and was not … Continue reading

OMG, it’s really happened…

I was listening to the POTUS speak about the economy and his expectations for 2014 recently, and it finally hit me. If Barack Obama and his cohorts have achieved one thing, it has been to establish a foothold on the beaches … Continue reading

Change the channel…

The issue of free speech has been a topic of debate at unprecedented levels throughout the era of Obama. Consequently, the very self-proclaimed spokespeople for freedom of expression and tolerance have demonstrated clearly thus far, and by way of an … Continue reading

Some RI local stuff catching on…

Food for thought, sent from “Patriot64’s” iPhone… The story of Nelson Mandela must include his time in a South African prison, as well as how that horrible period shaped his future. The destroyer of Apartheid will rightfully be remembered as a … Continue reading

As we are witnessing great social and economic turmoil in our country, many of us look to the news as a source of unbiased information regarding the events of the day. This is not unusual in a free society, and we … Continue reading

“Why don’t they try winning an election.”???

“Why don’t they try winning an election”? Maybe the President was out of town, or possibly playing the back nine at Camp David when Republicans cleaned his political clock in the 2010. Once again we see Barack Obama as whole … Continue reading

“Froaming” at the mouth…

I guess it only takes (some) folks exercising their Constitutional rights to get sycophants like Froma Harrop “froaming” at the mouth. And I always find it interesting when Liberals label all free speech but their own as “extremist”. Admittedly I rather like … Continue reading

Of slings and arrows and shut downs…

The government shutdown is certainly politics in its rawest form, with both sides vying for a toehold on the issue of a continuing resolution that would only fund the government until November 15 (Senate) or December 15 (House). That aside, the … Continue reading

Denial, the enemy of our children…

I am challenged daily on what I write. And yet when I ask for specifics, there is a deafening silence. During a recent political “exchange” in which I supplied some simple “truth and reason”,  a friend told me that while he … Continue reading

“Under God”…

The fight over “God in the pledge” in the Bay State isn’t surprising. Massachusetts has long been a bastion of Progressive thought. But it reminded me of the bigger fight over freedom of religion in this country. You see, the so-called … Continue reading

Parents passing the buck???

There will always be ideological disagreement. It’s one of many benefits of liberty, the right of free speech and debate. I remain convinced those rights carry responsibility as well. Nevertheless, I continue to search for the reason why our nation is in … Continue reading

“Rush” Bashing…

“Rush” bashing… Rush Limbaugh has certainly parlayed his Conservative viewpoint into a successful broadcasting career. One could measure that success by how Liberal’s foam at the mouth at the mere mention of his name. Personally, I’ve always framed the popular … Continue reading
