Great Leaders Develop Leadership in Others

This was originally posted on TCU Nation as a comment. It is re-posted here with permission. National demonstrations of Revolutionary spirit appear to be more than fleeting episodes of civic passion. Stirred by the recent torrents of forceful bureaucracy, Americans seem to know their liberty is in jeopardy. Many spontaneous protests evoke the Boston Tea Party. There, feverous speeches channel the Founders and are brilliantly | Read More »

Free Colorado has videos of the Longmont, Colorado Healthcare Rally on August 6th. These uncontrollable mobs simply must be stopped or no one will be safe.

As for being scared, | Read More »
Rationing DeathCare
By: NightTwister (Diary) | August 4th at 03:15 PM |
Much has been said about how healthcare will have to be rationed under the Universal Health Care proposals being put forth by President Obama and the Democrat-led Congress. If they are successful in getting their plan enacted, it will only be a matter of time before the government has complete control over not only our healthcare, but our deathcare as well. Anecdotal stories never tell | Read More »

By: NightTwister (Diary) | August 3rd at 03:04 PM |
He can’t make the case for himself… he’s too busy defending us. So let’s see if we can convince him to throw his hat in the ring when he comes home. Isn’t it time we elected a hero to Congress?

Those Ignorant of History are Doomed to Repeat It
By: NightTwister (Diary) | July 29th at 10:23 AM |
No, this isn’t a cartoon from 2009. According to the The Daily Cartoonist, this was reportedly an editorial cartoon that ran in the Chicago Tribune in 1934 during the Great Depression. At least back then the dead tree media was willing to ask important questions, rather than simply being a megaphone for the government. Night Twister

Legislating Morality
By: NightTwister (Diary) | May 4th at 09:23 PM |
For as long as I can remember I’ve been hearing liberals tell me, “You can’t legislate morality”. Years ago I just believed they were naive, but sincere. Yet, at some point sincere naivete becomes promotion of evil. Some will say that statement is too harsh, but I find I no longer care. One of the primary functions of the Biblical prophets was to send a | Read More »
