The Problem with Lies

Nowadays, we have a plethora of lies that are told knowingly and openly and without shame. • "Genocide" is defined as the systematic extermination of a race. Either Israel is really bad at it, or it is in a war against Hamas, n...

The Curious Effect of Insular Liberalism

The hard left actually believes it reflects the opinions of all Democrats and indeed all liberals.  This is simply not true.  The hard left is in conflict with the majority of Americans, left, right or center.  Does Mayo...

AVG all over again

Early in WWII, the Chinese were in bad shape.  The Japanese had invaded China proper in 1937 and advanced up the Yangtze valley, adopting a "scorched earth" approach, culminating in the "Rape of Nanking."  It w...

Putin the professional

When the facts at hand don't add up, you are missing some facts. That is the wisdom that should be crossing our minds these days in regard to our present political situation.  Nothing much makes any sense. I'm not referring directl...

Obama's massaged 'facts'

Perhaps the most telling aspect of President Obama's inability to deal with reality is in ignoring facts when he gives a speech.  He is a political animal, so enslaved to his ideology that he sees facts as irrelevant to his goal, the further...

What Obama said about the grand jury (and what he could have said)

Obama on Ferguson: There are Americans who agree with it, and there are Americans who are deeply upset, even angry. It's an understandable reaction. But I join Michael's parents in asking anyone who protests this decision to do so peacef...

Progressivism and Unnatural Selection

It is ironic that Progressives identify their cause with the green movement and claim that their goal is a balance with nature, a logical and progressive change from the evils of capitalism to a pure and wonderful future that they won’t really ...

A Simple Way to Help Small Business

We hear a lot of talk from politicians about how important small business is to the American economy, but there is precious little that they actually do to help. Our little company of 60 people has survived 53 years of slow, steady growth, but it wou...

Obama's Reasons for the Martin/Zimmerman Hype

In a rare statement, one that clearly stated the real goals of our present administration, Mr. Obama states that since George Zimmerman escaped justice, then the fault had to be with a society that allows a man like George Zimmerman to possess a g...

Printing Weapons

If this bit of information doesn't offer mixed emotions, nothing will. For those who don't understand, this technology really exists. It is getting more and more common. The type of 3D printer I have seen in action produces a solid block of plastic, ...

Liberals' Goal - Improving Society

On the surface, a goal of improvement is a good one.  Who can argue that making something or someone better is a bad thing?  Isn't better better? But in government, it frequently isn't.  All too often, "improving society" involves chan...

True Colors: Our Post-Constitutional, Liberal Fundamentalist President

As the years go by, our president exposes more and more of his true philosophy, Liberal Fundamentalism.  This is not to be confused with liberalism or the Democratic Party.  It is a distinct extremist faith-based religion in which no rules ...

Small Business Success without Government Help

Our revolution was about individuals and business being forced to do business in accordance with British dictates.  It was called Mercantilism.  Colonists were allowed to buy only products specified by King George III from approved supplier...

In My Backyard

In my backyard, things are different from the world we see in the media. Life in my backyard makes sense to me and my family, it's a simple place. Even strangers seem to fit into our ways quite easily.  My backyard is America to me, and maybe to...

Pages from the DNC Handbook

It has all gotten so routine that the Democrats might as well put together a playbook, to help the rookies. Grand strategy for dealing with Republicans:  Accuse them of: 1.      Being stupid, ignorant and/or crude...

We Are Expected to Believe...

That Mr Obama isn't out of ideas on how to fix the economy, although two years ago he said the raising taxes in a recession is "the last thing you want to do." That being out of work isn't the same thing as being unemployed. That since prosperity br...
