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

“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

The New Egyptian Strong Man…

(“Whereas Americans believe in “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,” Islamic cultures cling to principles of “fairness, justice, equality, unity, and charity,” he argued. Americans look to their republic’s Founding Fathers for guidance; Muslims cherish the memory of the ancient … 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

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

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

Forbidden Fruit…

My son’s iPhone landed in a bucket of water recently, and please don’t ask how… Nevertheless, I wound up at my local “Apple Store” for the first time and was stunned by the size of the crowd. It looked like they were … 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

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

“Phony scandals”???

I was not surprised to hear the President “pivot” to the economy again in the face of some declining approval ratings, but this time was a little more annoying. It’s no longer enough to point out the paper tiger economy … 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

Justice on trial…

A jury of six women took the judge’s instructions, and despite even her best efforts to sway a verdict, they apparently followed those instructions and deliberated on the facts of the case and definitions of the crimes for which George Zimmerman … Continue reading
