The Republican Party And The Future Of The Country
Star Parker offers her analysis of the Republican Party. My answer to her question regarding the viability of the Republican Party is an emphatic NO! Sadly, my answer likely means a complete collapse of our economic system and maybe our form of government. There is not enough time left to form a third party and the country [...]
The Rebirth of Freedom
Cemeteries are not usually places for joy and celebration. Were this to be encountered, it would be cause for great jubilation:
The More Things Change …
A reader sent in these quotations, too many of which are appropriate for the position we find ourselves in today: SOME GREAT TRUTHS 1. In my many years I have come to a conclusion that one useless man is a shame, two is a law firm, and three or more is a congress. – John [...]
Don’t Negotiate In The Press Or Anywhere Else For That Matter
The “crisis” of the fiscal cliff continues to dominate the news. The coverage, as usual, is unbalanced and naive. The media and the President think that taxes are the issue.

From Zerohedge (with my emboldening) It will, or should, come as no surprise that as a result of the Great Financial Crisis, just as in real life, so in D.C., the [...]

The author of this short observation is unknown: ORIGINAL CHINESE PROVERB: Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime. 2012 WHITE HOUSE REVISION: Give a man a welfare check, a free cell phone with unlimited free minutes, cash for [...]
Why Is This Election Even Close?
Reader Jerry G provides the “obvious” which only becomes so after someone else has stated it: “On paper, given Obama’s record, this election should be a cakewalk for the Republicans. Why isn’t it? I am afraid the answer may be that the country is closer to the point of no return than most of us [...]
