The Religious Quest of George Soros

Tivadar Schwartz, George Soros' father, rejected his own Judaism in youth, but found another "religion" at some point in the First World War.  During his years as a Russian POW, Tivadar became enthralled with the obscure, synthetic lan...

Hillary, Soros, Alinsky, and Rush

For the past couple of months, I've been reading up on the Clinton/Soros connection into the wee hours of every night.  Ever since George Soros slipped through the backdoor to American political power at the tawdry invitation of Bill and Hillary...

We Need Idealism in Faith and Pragmatism in Politics

The way a lot of folks are getting all whipped up over the top-tier Republican candidates -- and their human frailties hung out to dry like soiled laundry -- one might be tempted to think that every great leader this Country has ever had was morally ...

Sorry, Fred, I'm Sticking With Rudy

Frankly, there is nothing in this world that would make me happier than to cast my Republican Primary vote early next year for Fred Thompson.  He’s a lot more like me and my husband than Rudy Giuliani will ever be. Fred is Southern....

Patriots Vs. Professional Demonstrators

I'm old enough to remember well the anti-war demonstrations of the Vietnam era.  They got lots and lots of fawning press coverage.  But I don't believe that those hot-headed college students were being paid cash for their willingness to hid...

Hillary's Ironic Use of the Word 'Unscrupulous'

That Hillary Clinton has managed to straddle both sides of the corporate fence for 3 whole decades now, while the lesser of her cronies have ended up in jail, is the most over-the-top chicanery I think I've seen in - well, perhaps my entire life.Hill...

Iraq Anti-War Movement: A Pop Quiz for Americans

Beginning August 28, America will witness the new thrust of Anti-Iraq War Protests.  The aim of these protests is exactly the same as the other protests you have seen to date:  altering the public perception of the War, thereby manipulating...

Hillary Scares Me

Most especially as a woman, I have become more and more concerned that Hillary Rodham Clinton just might be elected as the first female President of the United States in 2008.  And that possibility curls my hair, dangerously accelerates my heart...

The Free Market Cure Made Us Less Sicko

It doesn't take a genius, or even a public policy analyst to figure out that what we already have with giant HMO's and "Managed Care" companies is a dim preview of the fiasco that a single-payer system of Nannystate care would inevitably pr...

Democrats and the South

The article "Democrats and Apologies" brought back memories of my own childhood in the South. When my generation of Southerners watched, as children, the drama of the Civil Rights Movement unfold before our eyes, heard with our own ears the...

Television: Your Entertainment Bargain

I read the other day that television is missing 2.5 million viewers this spring.  I am positively appalled.  What on earth could healthy Americans be doing with all that free time if we're not watching television?  As the article also ...

When Women Cry Wolf About Rape

Now that the Duke "rape" case has been brought to its conclusion and the falsely-accused young men have been thoroughly exonerated, it is time for us - especially us women -- to come down hard on the woman who cried "Wolf" and tho...

De Facto Diplomacy

Nancy Pelosi went to Syria, not as a private citizen, but on our payroll in her official capacity as Speaker of the United States House of Representatives - in rather flagrant violation of not only the Constitution, but also in defiance of a specific...

Living-Room Warriors

My brother is a political science professor who has often ruminated on the notion of a truly pure democracy, wherein each citizen gets to actually vote on every single government decision.  He tried to run his family on this notion, with frequen...

Disgraceful De Facto Diplomats

No Constitutional scholar am I, but I do seem to recall from my seventh-grade civics class that responsibility for relations with foreign governments resides in the Executive Branch - that would be at the discretion of our elected President, I believ...

Why I - a Staunch Pro-Lifer - Am Voting for Giuliani

In most of the Presidential elections since 1973, I have been what the pollsters refer to as a "single-issue" voter, being ever stalwart in my support for vigorous pro-life candidates.  But this primary, I'm voting for Giuliani, despit...

Playground Politics

When I was still young, I believed that I belonged to the best generation ever to grace Planet Earth.  We were the boomers!  We invented the Generation Gap with a form of mass rebellion that, even in our teens, was beginning to reshape Amer...

At Peace with War (A short story)

Benjamin Able awakes before dawn to the nostalgic aroma of bread baking in his mother's kitchen.   His uniform hangs on the closet door, neatly pressed and waiting for him, just as he knew it would be.  He smiles.  Homemade bread....
