Well, almost nobody. The teachers don’t; they outnumber all but the kids and have among the most powerful unions. If they wanted change, who could stop them? Looking  at the fuss in Wisconsin and the budget cutting impasses all over shows what they can do when they want to. The politicians don’t, either; they receive [...]

As the nation begins to approach the 2012 presidential race, I continue to be stunned by the names that are being thrown around as potential contenders. The 2010 election saw a new crop of conservative, young, idealistic, uncorrupted, and diverse, candidates propelled into office all over the nation. A record amount of Republicans were elected [...]

1. Obama did a great job laying out the moral justification for going to war. By highlighting the international and regional mandate, and appealing to US exceptionalism and view of itself as the harbinger of freedom, he managed to use both right and left wing arguments to justify the campaign. He basically played the middle [...]

The Foundation “[I]f we are to be told by a foreign Power … what we shall do, and what we shall not do, we have Independence yet to seek, and have contended hitherto for very little.” –George Washington Government & Politics Limbo in Libya Commander in chief? Consistent with his socialist, we-are-all-one agenda, Barack Obama [...]

It appears that among the examples of heroism, progressives want to include organizing those hopeless, down trodden, individuals, who were seduced by the American dream of owning their own homes, into a collective group of deadbeats.  At least, that is the latest takeaway from an interview conducted by Dylan Ratigan with Stephen Lerner.  Ratigan later [...]

This happened thanks to a massive delivery of airborne democracy on Ghaddafi’s tanks courtesy of coalition jets friday night. But in defense of the rebels, they continued to hold parts of [...]

With quiet dignity a hooded figure revealed himself from the protective ring of trees.  Mounting a small hillock he faced the sea of expectant faces.  A measured sweep of his hands pulled back the hood to reveal a wizened face framed by a long white beard.  For a long moment not a sound was heard [...]

On September 11, 1683, the boundaries of western Europe were set for the next few centuries.  The Islamic expansion that began in the 600′s was stopped at Venice, Italy.  This was the beginning of a rapid development and change of Europe.  The printing press was invented in the 1400′s.  The Bible, newspapers, books were being printed.  Information and ideas [...]

Religion of Peace alert. This article is from newsrealblog.com. Muslims in Ethiopia have torched 69 Christian churches, a Bible school and an orphanage –in less than one month. Not content with this alone, at least two Christians have been murdered simply because they were Christian. As the “machete-wielding” Muslims warned that more killings would be coming, thousands of [...]

The Obama Administration is facing a great deal of criticism for involving the United States in yet another war. In order to put such concerns to rest, deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes explained that the operation in Libya is not a war, it is a kinetic military action. You can read about this development [...]

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/42246452/ns/us_news-life/ The census data is in and it is startling. Large demographic shifts are happening around our nation, and once again America is in a state of flux. The center of America’s population is moving further and further away from New York and closer to California and Texas, and while the North East and East [...]

Dear Mr. President: Thank you for your letter dated March 21, 2011, outlining your Administration’s actions regarding Libya and Operation Odyssey Dawn. The United States has long stood with those who seek freedom from oppression through self-government and an underlying structure of basic human rights. The news yesterday that a U.S. fighter jet involved in [...]

On March 19th, 2011 President Barack Obama, a Democrat, completed the derogation of the constitutional war power of the Congress begun by Harry Truman, a Democrat and extended by Lyndon Johnson, a Democrat. The Constitution (Art. I, Sec. 8) authorizes the Congress to declare war. Presidents Truman and Johnson, to varying degrees and in various [...]

More bad news for the courageous men and women serving in the American military. Der Spiegel has just released three photographs of US soldiers posing with dead Afghan civilians they allegedly murdered for sport, the magazine claims there are 4000 more. According to the accompanying article, a rogue group of US soldiers is accused of [...]

Surprise, surprise, as soon as the first salvo of America’s brand new war has been fired, the same forces that pushed America into this conflict, are now washing their hands clean of it while pointing fingers at the US. Everyone knew it was coming, and now the liars and hypocrites are revealing their true form. [...]

I always figured women would just stick a pistol in their purse but apparently there are a number of other options available. In Colorado almost every male I know that carries concealed uses a fanny pack of some sort. Sometimes it is fairly obvious who is carrying concealed but that seems to be less of [...]

We’ve heard that less is more and My Lai was destroyed to save it, so perhaps there is precedent supporting Captain Preppie and his Dem’s promised salvation of the moribund economy. Recently ex-Senator Jeff Bingaman was quoted saying we must use less oil, in support of our Presidents’ energy policy. Energy Secretary Steven Chu said a [...]

For the past couple days members of my circle on facebook who are known to be not-so-conservatives have been whining and nashing their new crowns on the House of Representatives “de-funding” NPR and PBS. Any viable enterprise should be able to survive without government support.  In the case of NPR spinning out on their own [...]

It wasn’t long ago that we were all assured that there is no future of Sharia being implemented in the United States. Groups like CAIR and ISNA work diligently to calm our fears and to ensure that we harbor no concern for what many have labeled creeping Sharia. There was a significant outcry against the [...]

The rebel stronghold of Benghazi is under attack from the south, the west, and the sea. Extensive shelling is reported in the western part of the city, and tanks are moving into the suburbs. Panicking civilians are fleeing east as rebel leaders demand immediate international intervention. A rebel fighter jet has been shot down over [...]

Progressives pulled union power into American politics; the alliance of unions and politicians drove U.S. labor costs above the world level (with help from Federal regulators). Then employers started leaving. New industries such as electronics paid competitive wages without unions; the non-union south industrialized. Now, a small minority of U.S. private sector workers are union members. Public [...]
