“The Gettysburg Address”…

I have been accused and I’m probably guilty of being a bit long “written” if you will. Accordingly, I would tell you that as someone who writes primarily about politics, one should get to the point as expeditiously as possible … Continue reading

Veterans Day 2013. Understanding freedom…

I’ve probably heard “it” as many times as I’ve said “it”. And having family and friends who’ve fought and even died for “it”, makes “it” all the more precious to me. Indeed my fellow Americans, “freedom is not free”. Nevertheless, … Continue reading

“Obamaromneycare”???

Listening to HHS Secretary Sebelius attempt to explain “Obamacare” was almost as painful as listening to the President at Boston’s Faneuil Hall today, try and compare the law which bears his nickname to that of “Romneycare”. Two things did jump out at … Continue reading

Gut check time…

With only seventeen percent of government actually shut down, it’s hard to find the calamity Harry Reid and the Libs are speaking of. This is not to diminish the trials of those needing appropriate satisfaction, in terms of legitimate government … 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

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

“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

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

Derisive is as derisive does…

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

The Crown President of the United States…

I think it’s fair to say the founding documents spell out the separation of powers within the branches of government, and highlight the checks and balances necessary to make sure “We the People” are fairly represented. I think it’s also fair to … 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

J-O-B-S…

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

Hillary The Movie…

I think it was “Healthcare 93” when I first started paying attention to the notion Hillary Rodham Clinton had bigger plans than just being married to Bill. It concerned me then as the politically ambitious First Lady was already demonstrating an … Continue reading

My future for yours…

I absolutely love watching movies on my iPhone. So last night I decided to watch “Taking Chance”- again. The movie is a poignant and true account of the journey home for Marine Lance Corporal Chance Russell Phelps, killed in action … 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

“Hitting the nail on the head”…

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

The “Presidential Seal” on race…

Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee summed it up best today when he said the President “missed another opportunity to bring the issue of race into context”. Not long after Barack Obama’s first election I wrote about how I didn’t vote for … Continue reading
