In all reality, odds are he's looking at his last year in office. God knows he and his wife are spending our money like it is. A year from now his wife will be looking around the White House to see what she can tuck inside her suitcase as MSM allowed historic souvenirs. But forget [...]

Struggling for ideas for that perfect gift this Christmas? This past "Black Friday" gun sales broke the previous sales record by 1/3. (Read the comments at the link and weigh the tone ... and at an MSNBC link, of all places!) "We are the 47%". The last gun sales record was set in late summer-early [...]

Tommy Chandler (of Chandler's Watch) emailed this to me yesterday. He has attended Pearl Harbor remembrance events over the years, and knows well this fine gentleman, Stuart "Stu" Hedley. He is one of the very few remaining veterans stationed at Pearl Harbor that fateful and historic day 70 years ago today. Just a bit, and [...]

Obama's Razor - In any given situation, the most cynical explanation is usually the correct one with this administration. (HT: comment # 10 @ AoSHQ)
Given this administration's proclivity to take full advantage of any-given crisis situation and use it to the advantage of their agenda, do not believe they aren't above actually orchestrating a [...]

I came across this comment in response to Peggy Noonan's article, The Divider vs. The Thinker, in the WSJ.  It perfectly coalesces into words the reason for the unease, fear and anger I think many of us feel about the direction our country has taken.

Forget about, "The whole world is watching".
America, you'd better be paying close attention and figuring this one out by November 2012. Socialism/Communism is not "democracy".

Hmmm, I'm noticing a trend that flies in the face of all that Kumbaya, feel-good, Arab Spring democracy-spreading cheering that was emitting from this same circle not too long ago.
So now democracy (which is a general term here for setting up a constitution, following it, and having a system of freedom wherein the people get [...]

Excellent commentary in American Thinker titled "Obama and the 3 curses" that gets to the nub of the issue...
Recently, I came across something spooky. Composing a political comment to share with friends, I referenced the putative ancient Chinese curse may you live in interesting times. It's an old saw of unknown [...]

I have spent the last three days thinking about what I want to say about our experience in San Antonio and Cooking With the Troops.
My family has talked and talked and rehashed almost every detail of our weekend, multiple times. And I'm still at a loss for words to describe all that we experienced. I'm [...]

The dimmer switch.
It's really very hard to defend taking away the people's right to choose, as Mark Steyn points out ...
 
I think we ought to be harder when minor functionaries of a failed leviathan reveal themselves to have a defective understanding of the role of government in free societies. Steven Chu, the Energy Secretary who [...]

Did you know, in 2010 the U.S. Department of Education purchased 27 shotguns?
Did you know, the U.S. Department of Education has the ability to execute search warrants of private property?
And did you know, the U.S. Department of Education can (and does) act like a law enforcement S.W.A.T. team and kick down the door of the home [...]

"Happy birthday, baby!"
As we remember Mother's Day I would like to highlight one Mother in particular as an example of those mothers whose children have heard a higher calling, and volunteered for service in this nation's military. These children cannot grow into the young adults who serve loyally, bravely, and heroically if it were not [...]

As this junk science evolves into junk politics, and junk governing into a Western socialist dictatorship over the world's population it must be said we have inflicted a pox upon ourselves by allowing an unchallenged voice to this cult of global warming hoax.

Apparently the indigenous communists in this country haven't primed the pump enough for the radical Islamists to swoop in with Sharia.

I guess Lady Liberty will have to wait on her burka fitting.

U.S. Supreme Court Issues Landmark Decision: Constitution is Void
ATLANTA, Jan. 18, 2011 - The U.S. Supreme Court issued a landmark decision that serves to allow judges to void the Constitution in their courtrooms. The decision was issued on January 18, 2011, and the Court did not even explain [...]

A dear friend recently home from the hospital, coming to terms with her failing health asked, "How can I die when Cuba is not free?"  It seems they come more frequently now, phone calls or emails announcing an illness, or informing about the passing of a friend or an acquaintance, followed by expressions lamenting that [...]
