Just in, China has a new weapon. The carrier killer. Final testing is later this year. It is a land based missile that travels at 10 times the speed of sound and can hit a moving carrier 900 miles away. Goes right thru the hull and sinks the carrier. Surprised? No need to be. They are [...]
Falling like the staccato drumbeat of a pouring rain, the day-by-day assault by the ruling Progressives on the traditions and sensibilities of America has the no-longer-silent majority reeling. We were warned. The watchmen on the walls Buchanan, Limbaugh, Beck and others told us what was coming. They tried to alert those willing to vote for [...]
I’m lucky that a great report on a topic of growing importance appeared today just in time for my debut post on this site. It’s from Rasmussen Reports, the renowned political polling firm: “67% of Political Class Say U.S. Heading in Right Direction, 84% of Mainstream Disagrees.” It’s found here. The report talks about the [...]
How ironic that the silent majority (or "Country Class" to quote Angelo Codevilla from his American Spectator article last week) is rising in protest and volunteering blood, sweat and tears versus Washington, DC's professional politicians, bureaucrats and lobbyists. These volunteers have engaged themselves in a David v. Goliath effort to stem the tide of a burgeoning Federal government that is quickly developing into a cash [...]
The federal government's motion to dismiss Virginia's healthcare lawsuit was DENIED today. The Health Care Freedom Act we helped pass as a Tea Party movement will have its day in court! Great victory today, but the battle has just begun. Here are some portions from the judge's ruling: While this case raises a host of complex constitutional [...]
During the George W. Bush administration, one thing he was accused was living in an echo chamber where he could never hear any voices dissenting from his policy. As a result, he was out of touch with the American people and developed some sort of political myopia regarding prosecuting the War on Terror and other [...]
Referring to the recently enacted Financial Reform Bill, President Obama said It will finally bring transparency to the kinds of complex and risky transactions that helped trigger the financial crisis. Really? Then what’s up with this? So much for transparency. Under a little-noticed provision of the recently passed financial-reform legislation, the Securities and Exchange Commission [...]
The all-powerful liberal media (which they like to think themselves as) are always clouding the atmosphere with tension, distrust, falsehood, and lies, creating winds of dissension among the masses. How can this entity of intellectual people with their cameras, pens, paper, and laptops gather together on one island of insanity for the sole purpose of [...]
When taxes become destructive they surpass the consent of the governed bending to the will of tyranny. When regulations strangle competition instead of securing it from evil combinations they become counterproductive and defeat the very purpose for which they were proposed. When foreign entanglements bleed the nation but do not secure the peace or defeat [...]
From Wiki: In Greek mythology, the Sirens were three dangerous bird-women, portrayed as seductresses who lured nearby sailors with their enchanting music and voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast of their island. Of course, we know that the myths are stories with a message for life; in many cases, they are warnings. The [...]
As a Professor of History I can understand why most people dismiss History as boring. It is usually presented as a static jumble of dates, names and events that must be memorized, regurgitated and with luck forgotten. I have often marveled at the ability of students who can tell me how many points their favorite [...]
All this bragging by the president of this amazing financial reform and then I read this in the Washington Times paper today: But as it made its way through Congress under the leadership of Sen. Christopher J. Dodd, Connecticut Democrat, and Rep. Barney Frank, Massachusetts Democrat, the bill accumulated hundreds of provisions unrelated to its [...]
