Wars come and go, cities are destroyed and rebuilt, monuments are erected, and life goes on. This is the traditional view of war, but right now the world is engaged in the latest battle of a “climate war” that has been going on since the 1970s when the Club of Rome concluded…

There are many similarities between Presidents Wilson and Obama. The striking preponderance of the Ivy League academic background being foremost. What is the most intriguing is the strong conviction of their opinions. Once Pres. Wilson came to believe he was correct, no other opinion was tolerated, and in fact, those who held other views are demonized as being immoral or worse.

The healthcare bills backed by Obama will cost $2.3 trillion, not the $900 billion Obama claims, and will be a "budgetary disaster" that drives up the national debt, explains healthcare expert James C.

The mainstream media have been searching for a new favorite Republican ever since John McCain won the presidential nomination in the spring of 2008. Clearly, McCain couldn’t be allowed to continue in that role because of the risk that it might have helped him win the presidency.
Favorite Republican really shouldn’t be a hard spot to fill. The only qualifications required are an eagerness to abandon conservative principles in order to further fashionable liberal issues, and a general ineffectual…

One of the keystones of the Obama administration’s energy policies has been a very expensive emphasis on “clean energy”, sometimes called “renewable energy”, allocating billions to the wind and solar energy producers. Like much of the “stimulus” bill that money is a waste.
The wind power trade group, the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) has been pouring big bucks into a public relations effort to convince Americans that wind is the energy source of the future and that acr…

"President Obama's policies would add more than $9.7 trillion to the national debt over the next decade, congressional budget analysts said Friday. . .The 10-year outlook by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office is somewhat gloomier than White House projections, which found that Obama's policies would add $8.5 trillion to the debt by 2020."

With much fanfare and exploiting their “preponderance of the propaganda”, the “Wannabe Peers” launched their “Health Care Reform Initiative” “Wannabe Peers” are the politicians seeking to regain of the power and prestige that belonged to the English “Peers” of the 18TH Century. They want to return the world to the tyranny of 18TH Century England and see themselves as the “Lords”, or perhaps even the “King”.
True to the principles of the “preponderance of propaganda” only the positive aspects of…

I think we can all agree that a gun can kill, a knife is deadly, a broken bottle could do harm, as well as a rock, a hand grenade and a noose. But each and every one of these devices needs the assistance of the human hand. So to all of you anti-gun idiots, open your eyes and realize that once you've got someone locked up for a vicious crime keep em there along with their HANDS.

What was that most homeowners and apartment dwellers most feared in the recent record-breaking blizzard that hit the northeast?
The answer is losing electricity and that is why the news of the event was always filled with reports of what towns had lost electricity due to downed tree limbs. This was followed by news of how quickly the utilities were making repairs.
Simply stated, when you lose electricity, you lose light and warmth, and you are instantly back to the dark ages be…

“Fire them all…”
Over the past thirty or forty years, I’ve hired and fired a good number of people. Hiring is easy, firing is hard. When you’re hiring, you’re giving someone a chance and a hope that their actions (as well as yours) will lead everyone to a more productive lifestyle. Firing someone is somewhat more…

The author and conservative icon, Ayn Rand, wrote that “The spread of evil is the symptom of a vacuum. Whenever evil wins, it is only by default; by the moral failure of those who evade the fact that there can be no compromise on basic principles.”
The subject of evil is an ancient one and all the great religions grapple with it, seek to identify it, to codify behavior against it, and to offer solace when one suffers from it.
I am by training a journalist, not a philosopher, so…

Don Quixote attacked the windmills believing the windmills were a threat to mankind but being inanimate objects, the windmills ignored him. His collision with the windmill blades unhorsed him, causing much physical pain and distress. Mr. Quixote was delusional but at least, he was attacking a real entity.

Those of us who are Babyboomers were raised in the shadows of our parents. Our parents lived lives of sacrifice. They came of age during the Depression and many struggled to survive. They stood in the path of totalitarianism and defended and preserved freedom in World War

The New York Times once again is Al Gore’s “enabler”, publishing a February 28 opinion editorial, “We Can’t Wish Away Climate Change”, despite the mounting evidence that global warming was and is a complete fabrication.
In November 2009, the Telegraph, a British newspaper, carried a story, “Al Gore could become world’s first carbon billionaire”, so let us disabuse ourselves of the notion that Gore just wants to save the world.

Since my kids are all adults, I seldom get involved in getting overly concerned about who is running for the school boards in our area. I realize this is probably not the most American thing to do, but when you get older some things just slip away. Sue me.
But, in spite of all that is happening at this time in the land of Nod (Wash…
