The Constitution of the United States of America, Amendment II: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” It isn’t a matter of whether the government bureaucrats and politicians understand the phrase “shall not be infringed” [...]
I find each pronouncement by Congressman Mullin (R-OK-2) to be more and more enlightening as to his perception of his role in Congress, and ever more perplexing in my perception of his role in Congress. Mullin is now telling us what John Boehner said to the Republican conference in their meetings, focusing on keeping control [...]
The situation in our nation today takes me back many years to the early days of a sit-com called “The Beverly Hillbillies”. I remember the Clampetts hooking up with “Honest John” Shafer, played by long time comedian Phil Silvers. “Honest John” sold them every monument in Washington, D C (De Cesspool). Those “dumb ole’ Clampetts” [...]
It seems someone in Washington is beginning to listen to We the People. Congressman Frank Wolf (R-VA), Chairman of the Appropriations Committee, and Congressman Jim Gerlach (R-PA), a Ways and Means Committee member, sent a letter to Secretary of State John “Lurch” Kerry telling him they want to speak with the thirty or so “invisible” [...]
Sneaking under the media radar (or perhaps with their blessing) 45 of the 50 states have approved the federal program called Common Core Standards. Common Core is a requirement to participate in the Race to the Top federal grant program; many states signed on without knowing what Common Core was. The federal government offered money [...]
This is an open letter to a new generation of founding fathers who I hope will stand up and “pledge their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor” to the cause of a restored Republic of the United States of America. I am asking for leaders to lead; people with wealth, name recognition, and the [...]
The big deal they are making over this sequester nonsense is giving me a headache. I have made this point on several social network site discussions so I thought I would put it all together on one place. Obama, his cabinet minions, and all of the members of Congress come out and say; Social Security [...]
The school of the future is nothing like we are used to. The Sandy Hook school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut changed everything.
In the name of “safety”, now kids in a South Texas school district who ride a bus to school must have their fingerprints on file to ride the bus. They say the fingerprints “will not be available to outside sources”…. you tell me if you believe that!
Darrell Issa (R-CA), Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, is investigating whether or not an IRS employee’s personal relationship with the owner of a computer company led to the awarding of government contracts worth nearly $500 million. The Congressman sent a letter to acting Treasury Secretary Neal S. Wolin, seeking information about a relationship between [...]
With all of the support given to Chris Dorner after his murder spree I find myself looking for a person I can call a hero for “standing up for himself”. I found him in Tulsa, Oklahoma of all places. The Tulsa story didn’t get the same publicity Dorner garnered but the story is essentially the same. [...]
It is ludicrous to imagine that not allowing some guns to be manufactured based on what they look like or how many bullets they will hold at any one given time, will do anything to curb the rampant violence in our nation. While our lawmakers bemoan the availability of what they mistakenly call “assault weapons”, [...]
With a father in the hospital dying, the first thought on my mind walking into a high school ROTC class for the first time was not to hear the sharp commands of the cadet colonel Ben Carson. Yet, this was the tail end of the 1960’s and the nation had a new president, and the [...]
Ouch. This doesn’t help race relations. A Colorado school wanted to offer a bridge program to students who needed academic assistance. But when they sent out advertisements to families the program was listed as only open to minority children. A point which was reiterated by the principal. However, following backlash from parents and the media, [...]
I just finished watching an incredible movie. A few months ago I saw previews of a movie called “Last Ounce of Courage” and mentioned to my wife that I would like to see it. She found it at Amazon.com and ordered it. This movie had been sitting in a box with some others for quite [...]
