All the way back then…in the 1970′s!…many Republicans dubbed President Carter the kind of “leader” who gets the rest of us killed. Since the 70′s, Liberal Democrats have “only” become more dangerous and delusional. OK, so 3 Bigtimes fooled, shame on us. But since this is RedState, let’s call it like it is: Shame on them…all the Independents & Republicans who forgot what they learned | Read More »
Like Chris Wallace, I’m a Common Sense American over 40, in the kinder, gentler generic context. An old saying goes that, for most of us, life begins in these decades. It’s a hopeful statement about maturity and change, one that makes common sense. After 40, most of us have been rolled by reality. If we’re lucky enough to be alive and have clear, functional brains, | Read More »
Robert Fulghum wasn’t quite right. We didn’t learn everything we needed to know in Kindergarten. All through school, I thought I was a free American citizen, living in a democratic nation, electing representatives to, more or less, do the people’s will. Yesterday, 15 years after receiving a Master’s Degree, I learned what I really am: a serf, ruled by Kings and Queens on Capitol Hill. Their Highnesses are attended by Court Ladies, Lords, and Lobbyists, shiploads of | Read More »
Hear Ye, Hear Ye, Read all about it, You All! O&CO are hard at work running their company into the ground, and the company is us. Rather than manage it productively and well, like Fred Smith runs FEDEx, O&CO do all they can to cut America off at the knees. It’s not unusual for community activists and politicians to know nothing about best business practices. But with or without a grin, anyone can read enough to learn how to bankrupt America, systematically, deceitfully, and in record time. Put | Read More »
As Michael Kelly said about Bill Clinton: Obama lies out of a failure of courage. He does not want to face hard truths; he does not want to pay a price; he does not want to feel his own pain. So, he will swallow a fiction, rather than deal with unpleasant reality. Long live Michael Kelly and may he rest in peace. 6 years ago, while covering the war in Iraq, another brave American | Read More »
God, Liberals are odd They’re not like you and me They brush their teeth with vinegar And rinse them with green tea. They see a glass that’s brimming In haste declare it dry Insisting us conservatives Find more that meets the eye. Their middle name is Criticize They parse and grouse and yet They speak a special language That only Liberals get. They thrive on metaphorical And | Read More »
On the way to September’s Taxed Enough Already Rally protesting reckless Government Spending, I spied a woman dressed in red. Without thinking, I offered her a ride. It never crossed my mind that she’d be dangerous, and it turned out I was right. We walked together to Freedom Plaza and a friendship began. After the fiscal conservative rally ended, she went back to her city, and I to mine. Like drug | Read More »
Whose town this is I think I know His home is white as softer snow He will not watch us as we go To protest lies that brought him low. He gives each spoken word a shake And never ponders one mistake The only sound the wind can make To bend them low and nation break. My fellow Libs must think it odd To fret about such things as fraud | Read More »
He stoops to lift a lasting boy, Among Memorials fair, Not far from Lee and Douglass, Where Lincoln’s in the air… What red red rose could honor those Supremely soldiers strife? Declaring love, restoring love, The rose they gave is life. Rose, everafter redder rose, Steadfastly soldiers will, Restoring love, declaring love Grants gifts of roses still.
Last Thursday, crowds poured out of turnstiles at Washington DC’s Union Station. Only a few people wore red T-shirts. Everyone else dressed like regular Americans on the way to work, play or pass time. It seemed like a normal day until I saw the man who looked like Santa Claus. For the first time, he wasn’t round or dressed in red. But for the gray streaks, | Read More »
