The Strange Culture

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

I was brought up in a culture that valued honesty and standing on principle while being sensitive to the feelings of others.The "Miss California" controversy turns that on its head.  It seems the special interest activists have no tolerance for people's honestly held and sensitively expressed convictions.  It is certainly ...

Who put the Mental in Fundamentalist?

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

Sunday, April 19th, 2009

...Reagan signed the IMF arms control treaty with Gorbachev, and now Obama has opened to door to Cuba, Iran and Venezuela.  If his actions serve America's interests, as those of his predecessors did, we should applaud him.  Negotiating with hostile powers, if done in the national interest, is Realpolitik, a ...

Saturday, April 18th, 2009

    It's all fine and well to protest our revolutionary descent into fascism under Bush and Obama, but it will avail little if the demand for government services does not correspondingly abate.  Everyone who wants their taxes cut, or at least not raised, should be able to point to their ...
