Americans Must “Demand” Gun Control for “Change” to Come

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the [...]

The Liberal Segregation of The South

Do you ever notice all the racist crap in the country comes from those oh so tolerant and inclusive "progressives" while they insist conservatives are racist? Ask Mia Love, Herman Cain, Allen West, Clarence Thomas, Condi Rice, or Marco Rubio, just to name a few conservative republicans of-color who have been the targets of racist [...]

Oh, We “Bitter Clingers”: The Left Attacking Assault Books Now

“We must all be alike. Not everyone born free and equal, as the Constitution says, but everyone made equal. Each man the image of every other; then all are happy, for there are no mountains to make them cower, to judge themselves against. So! A book is a loaded gun in the house next door. [...]

The Essentials of Educating the Eloi

Since I was a child one of my favorite movies has been the 1960 film version of the H.G. Wells story "The Time Machine". (The more recent remakes were okay, but I like the original.) At the end of the movie Rod Taylor has jumped back into his machine and left behind his present day [...]

Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang

"Those who beat their swords into plowshares usually end up plowing for those who kept their swords" - Ben Franklin On the first day of business of the nation's 113th Congress, the body swearing an oath of office to uphold and protect the U.S. Constitution and our rights therein, no less than 10 gun control [...]

White Hat Days

If there was a saving Grace to those days spent in Cuba between the advent of la puta revolución and the bittersweet day of our departure, it was that we were one of the few houses in our block who actually owned a working television. We were gusanos, but that old Zenith B&W set made [...]

A man of honor

There are few men and women who will risk everything to be free. Vladimir Bukovsky, Soviet dissident, who turned 70 last Sunday, is one of those. Our own brothers and sisters in Cuba who oppose tyranny, living or killed by the regime are our modern day Bukovskys, Solzhenitzyns, Sakharovs, and Sharanskys in Cuba. We need many [...]

Some Crisises are Simply Left to Waste Away … “God Help Us”

Writer Mark Stein outlines his initial reaction to the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting of a couple weeks ago. In the piece Stein outlines the profile of recent mass killers, and the questions such mass murders invoke. However, he is struck by the hypocritical selective outrage America has shown in the face of mass murders [...]

As Benghazi Burned Obama Fiddled and the MSM Hid the Flames and Fanned Away the Smoke

Last night on Facebook some of my friends who were not watching the Giants vs Tigers World Series, or various college football games, were watching FOX News Channel. On Judge Jeanine Pirro's show there was a very interesting conversation with Ann Coulter and Pat Caddell. They were on discussing the Obama administration's complete failure and [...]

Is he or isn’t he pushing up daisies?

More rumors from the rumor mill... The rumor mill surrounding the health of Fidel Castro churned anew on Friday, despite a letter from the aging Cuban revolutionary published by state media and denials by relatives at home and in the United States that he is on death's door. Social media sites and some news organizations [...]

American journalism has hit bottom

From The American Spectator, a cautionary take on the members of the MSM (a/k/a Reichsministerium für Volksaufklärung und Propaganda): "What If Crowley and Her Accomplices Succeed?" [...] The JournoList scandal and several subsequent incidents of journalistic collusion have demonstrated that the media have collectively decided to take up the mantle of the Democrat party as well [...]

Florida: The Appalling Attempts by Universal Studios in Orlando to Campaign for Obama

I always find this sort of thing so funny. I mean, the liberals are always insisting republicans are the filthy rich. Yet, our money and patronage is always seen as, what, expendable? I have to wonder if Universal Studios in Orlando has had a drop in profits in the last few years of tough economic [...]

Obama Shamelessly Campaigning for the Toddler and Elementary Votes – UPDATE

Well, here is the latest campaign ad from the very seriously serious Obama camp ... and with Obama's approval, no less. Curious to know if the Obama campaign has the proper permission to use the image in this ad, considering they had to cease using NBC's/MSNBC's Dodo Bird in one of their ads the other [...]

The Battle for The Hearts, Minds, and Souls of The Future

From Liberty 2012 comes an excellent video titled "Voices Without A Vote" The teenagers who speak in this video belong to http://www.im2moro.org. These young people realize that if they don't stand up and speak out for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness today, they will be living in a very different America tomorrow. Meanwhile [...]

Weeds

Obama is back out on the campaign trail. He is attacking Governor Romney, and the rest of the DNC rat pack is echoing the talking points. Even Rolling Stone Magazine is chiming in on the subject: The First Debate: Mitt Romney's Five Biggest Lies - The truth behind that $5 trillion tax cut, pre-existing conditions [...]
