Time for a Name Change

    Last week’s Democrat Convention may have been enjoyed by haters, radical abortionists, or masochists, but it demonstrated the failure of the party to live up to its name, especially with the “God vote” fiasco where the NOs were overruled by the teleprompter.  After all, this is the party for which it is OK for the dead to vote without showing ID.  So, it is time | Read More »

    THE DIOGENES LANTERN AWARD

    Often in the days when I worked overseas, my only source of news was CNN International.  Two memories stick in my mind.  In the first, a CNN reporter was in Manila covering a so-called anti-American demonstration.  Behind the reporter were 5 or 6 people milling around, none of them carrying any signs.  I’ve been to Manila, and worked with many Filipinos.  Believe me, you will | Read More »

    WHY AM I WRITING THIS?

    These are discouraging times, more than three years of abuse of power, disregard for the rule of law and the Constitution, and disdain for the rights of the states and the will of the people.  Despite all this, polls indicate a substantial number willing to vote for more of the same.  Evidently, some people haven’t been stopping by Red State. Judging from the comments, those | Read More »

    Refuting the BS

    The following appeared at AmericanThinker.com March 31st.  I am posting it here because I think it is a good strike down to some of Obama’s favorite lines.   THE VALUES OF PERICLES Pericles is the name I’ve given the red-tailed hawk we see circling over the empty field behind our house.  In Pericles’ natural state, his actions are based on what enhances his own life.   | Read More »

    A Letter to McCaskill

    Ma’am I have noticed your recent campaign ads on the St. Louis TV stations, those evil Republicans who want to take away granny’s medicare, and those evil multimillionaires and oil companies.  Spare me!  Can’t you people ever come up with anything new?  This is so trite and fake!  Don’t you have something positive to say?  Why don’t you run on your record?  Well, on second | Read More »

    An Open Letter to Rush Limbaugh

    Dear Rush, I was very disappointed to hear of your apology to “Ms” Fluke.  She doesn’t deserve it!  The word you used describes her behavior exactly .  Of course, we all know that the behavior of a liberal is beyond criticism.  Only we, the unwashed masses uneducated into liberalism, can be criticized. Has anyone ever apologized for calling us “bitter clingers” or “teabaggers?”  Has anyone | Read More »

    Moonbeams and Dark Spots

    Dawn on November 3rd, 2010 brought a blazing sunrise.  I haven’t felt this good in years.  The rising sun has sent many arrogant politicians packing for a much-deserved retirement.  The American people have witnessed the brave new world of “hope and change” and didn’t like what they saw. As heartwarming as the day is, dark spots still remain in the land.  Californians pushed the accelerator | Read More »

    TO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, 2010

    Just as Parliament in 1774, you are passing Coercive Acts aimed at your own people.  If you think the American People will not resist, you are mistaken.  While I deeply hope there is no violence, you will reap what you have sown.  Perhaps you believe all of us will now be willing parasites ready to feed on your latest hand-out, and you will have created | Read More »

    Into the Hornet’s Nest

    Congressmen (esp. Senators) returning home for their January break deserve to run into a hornet’s nest of angry e-mails, letters, and phone calls.  I know previous communication attempts have been futile, but let’s not give up now.  No Congressman should be allowed the delusion that what he or she is doing is popular. They need to experience the Cowpens strategy.  At the Revolutionary War battle | Read More »

    Dear Ma’am,

    Open letter to Claire McCaskill, D-MO Ma’am, As promised in my previous letter, I will no longer refer to you as Senator because your yes vote on the “health care” bill violates your most basic duty as a Senator.  The Constitutional purpose of a Senator is to represent their state, but your yes vote will burden your own state with unfunded Medicaid liabilities.  If that | Read More »
