And from then until now, brave men and women have gone in harm’s way in our stead in order to preserve those unalienable rights, being “life, liberty and … Continue reading →patriot64

- So much for the “Obama Spring”… 2013-07-05Economics drive politics to be sure, and while the Islamic movement remains a political force in Egypt, matters of the wallet and pocket-book will always rule the day.

- Snarky POTUS… 2013-06-29Despite what the diehards on MSNBC and CNN would have you believe, the President’s poll numbers are dropping. No longer hovering around the 49 percent approval rating, they have now begun a marching decline, with the last RCP average at … Continue reading →patriot64
- “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” (John 8:7) 2013-06-28It’s hard to get past today’s headlines and not ask when will the sins of a nation be forgiven. Factually speaking, “We the People” of the United States have done more to address the injustice of racism while promoting human equality … Continue reading →patriot64
- POTUS knows best… 2013-06-25The science of “climate change” is debatable at best, and while curbing pollution should be an objective of any civilized nation, it mustn’t come solely at the expense of the economic stability necessary to pay for it. I am not writing today to debate … Continue reading →patriot64

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
The Death of Principle…
Liberals in Congress are referring to the people’s elected representatives as “Legislative arsonists”, “anarchists”, “black mailers” and “terrorists”. The Left Wing ideology of hypocrisy has always been easy to see if you’re looking. Ultimately, one need only consider President Obama’s … Continue reading

Not too big to fail…
It’s unlikely Obamacare will be de-funded. This reality is born of voter apathy and ignorance as well as an utterly confusing counter message from Republicans. “A house divided” comes to mind when I listen to recent statements coming from the … Continue reading
Obamacare “Bait and Switch”…
The POTUS continues his “Obamacare” Campaign, running around touting the 2010 Congressional vote on the PPACA, the SCOTUS decision, and his second term, as proof his signature achievement is somehow the people’s will. It’s truly amazing how Liberals can manipulate reality, … Continue reading

We the “exceptional” people…
“We” are exceptional because of our founding documents and the human truths contained therein. “We” are exceptional because of the men and women who have died defending those truths, not just for our good, but for the good of oppressed … Continue reading

What would “they” think???
Twelve years later the lessons of 9/11 appear to have faded. Notwithstanding the heroic and sacrificial efforts of our brave military who remain at the gate, the incoherent approach of our current government to the international issues of our time, gives … 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
America then and now…
As events in Syria continue to shape the news, I thought it interesting how the conversation has shifted somewhat to whether or not the U.S. has a “moral responsibility” to act. Additionally, the question of how America sees things in relation … Continue reading

The President’s Conundrum…
Bill O’Reilly’s commentary on Tuesday was nearly spot on, nearly… He spoke of the nobility of the United States. He spoke of how our great nation has righted many wrongs, and of the literally hundreds of millions of people we … Continue reading

“Labor Day” 2013, a contradiction in terms…
The POTUS commented in his weekly radio address that so long as he is president he will continue to fight for the hard for working men and women of the “middle class”. I thought this ironic coming from a Chief … Continue reading

Timing is everything…
I remain conflicted about the road forward in Syria, and frustrated to say the least with the lack of leadership our President has shown on matters of an international nature. Indecision born of ideological theory and inexperience has left Mr. Obama, (and … Continue reading
“All red lines have been crossed”…
The President is off on yet another campaign bus trip. So pre-occupied with damage control as his “college try” domestic agenda collapses around him, the POTUS has now completely backed himself into a corner on foreign policy. Egypt’s al-Sisi is telling the … Continue reading

I don’t often re-post on a topic unless there is new information and/or factors which justify the additional ink. In the case of my last article however, there seems to be some confusion regarding my position on the power struggle going on in Egypt. Judging by some … Continue reading

When the President set out on his apology tour back in 08, many of us warned about the pitfalls of “college diplomacy” as I’ve come to call it. College or classroom diplomacy is the premature application of untried and ideological … Continue reading

Officer “Liesalot”…
It’s pretty clear the Justice Department is spending much of its time these days creating situations which portray the Attorney General as engaged and effective, while simultaneously diverting attention away for his incompetent and even illegal action while in … Continue reading
Mission accomplished???
I’m sure even the President’s most committed critics could not have imagined some of what has transpired over the past five years. Notably, I think Mr. Obama’s legacy in terms of the economy is striking, as his policies are now … Continue reading
Fire up those drones…
In what may be an effort to politicize/portray their response to the latest terror threat in a favorable light, it appears there’s been yet another “leak” of highly classified information. FOX News is now confirming NSA surveillance operations picked up and … Continue reading

I was chatting with a Liberal friend recently who chuckled and reminded me how the stock market was “roaring” under Obama, at which point I promptly schooled him on what that really meant. Unfortunately, I couldn’t just stop at unsustainably low fed … Continue reading

When the President of the United States jokes about the creation of sorely needed jobs in this country, it speaks to an almost palpable, albeit foolish reluctance to engage in any meaningful debate on the matter. In the case of the “Keystone XL … Continue reading

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

Bill O’Reilly is leading the way in the cable news network wars to be sure, and has been for some time. He is obviously an intelligent man with an all-American background through which he filters much of his commentary. While there … Continue reading
