Politics

Just to demonstrate the extent of the government (AKA “big brother”) at work in our public school system, I was having lunch the other day with a friend living in the Philadelphia suburbs who has a seven year old boy. He recently had a birthday celebration and a birthday party. Sounds pretty normal so far. I was amazed to hear that it is against school regulations to have a birthday party and invite individual classmates (boys in this case) unless every boy in the class is invited. He was given a litany of justifications (impressionable age, feeling left out, we don’t want to hurt feelings bla bla bla) for this overreaching policy. The parents were pressured into inviting the entire classroom of boys. While I don’t necessarily disagree...

What arrogance these Americans have. Either that, or a very, very — no, stunningly — ignorant man was just elected president — largely because millions of benevolent voters believed that we owe black people a presidency. They may come to see that as their biggest mistake ever.  In the next couple of years they will see a tripling of government debt, high inflation, a permanent loss in their personal wealth, and a major devaluation of the dollar. James Lewis American Thinker Our popstar President has recently apologized to Europe for our arrogance.  I for one believe in American Exceptionalism.  I believe our country is exceptional and no apology necessary Mr. President.  We provide more assistance, for foreign aid than any country on the face...

We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing.  With some the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself, and the product of his labor; while with others, the same word may mean for some men to do as they please with other men, and the product of other men’s labor.  Here are two, not only different, but incompatible things, called by the same name–liberty.  And it follows that each of the things is, by the respective parties, called by two different and incompatible names–liberty and tyranny. Abraham Lincoln, 1864 Just finished reading Mark Levin’s Liberty and Tyranny, A Conservative Manifesto. Highly recommend reading and becoming informed.  We must all become more...

I’ve just started reading this “textbook” which explains conservatism in terms even liberals can understand. The modern liberal believes in the supremacy of the state… Levine describes the modern liberal as a “statist.”  Our founding fathers knew that the greatest threat to freedom and liberty is an all powerfull central government. Keep your eyes open and watch closely what is happening in Washington.  As Washington gains more control, there is a direct correlation with loss of individual freedom.  Obama is a statist and believes that an individual’s imperfection and personal pursuits impede his objective of achieving a utopian state which is  ever mindful of bringing down achievers and redistributing wealth on a...

The man who is now president, Barack Obama, is precisely the man whose spiritual mentor for 2 decades, Jeremiah Wright, denounced “white folks greed” running  “a world in need.”  Barack Obama is precisely the man whose political mentor, Saul Alinsky, advised the use of any and all means necessary to take power in America, and to clothe his deceit in “moral garments.” Barack Obama is precisely the man whose most influential and moneyed backer was George Soros, the Fabian socialist whose financial schemes have garnered great wealth for him while leaving whole economies in shambles, the way ours is now. ummm,  how could we have done this? Delusion?  Deception?  A higher...

Been in the hospital lately?  Well I have and it’s no picnic and Doctor House was no where to be found.  I’m convinced they tried to kill me several times by puncture wounds, IV’s that ran out, IV’s that infiltrated my arm, and lab technicians trying to stab me without realizing their partner in crime had just left the room with what seemed to be a pint of my precious life’s flow.  On my first day, the cheery nurse wearing what appeared to be a jogging suit (in case you don’t remember in ancient times they appeared in starched white uniforms and caps) gave me my sleeping pill at 8am.  Then at night when I couldn’t sleep because the patient in the next room had died and the family was screaming in the halls, I asked for...
