If you grew up in the 1960s you know about “land”. You bought rural land yourself or you knew people who “bought a hundred acres” in Vermont or Colorado or wherever. Wow. Cool. Raw rural land was supposed to always increase in value and land was considered a cherished commodity to many in that era who were told by the socialist puppet masters at the | Read More »
OK, OK, we have heard about so-called sexual harassment for decades now. And the charges only apply to conservatives. Liberals can drown women (Ted Kennedy) be accused of harassing, groping and even raping women (Bill Clinton) or impregnate women (John Edwards, Jesse Jackson) with no penalty whatsoever or with a total Media Left coverup. In fact such behavior is a resume enhancer in the land | Read More »
Here are two news items, the first from AP/News.yahoo.com on November 3, 2011: ‘WASHINGTON (AP) — Government-controlled mortgage giant Freddie Mac (the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation) has requested $6 billion in additional aid after posting a wider loss in the third quarter ….Taxpayers have spent about $169 billion to rescue Fannie (the Federal National Mortgage Association) and Freddie, the most expensive bailout of the | Read More »
As an American of Greek descent, I am ashamed. A nation with the highest debt in Europe – Greece, with a debt that is 162% of GDP – should not be experiencing protests and riots in the streets over austerity measures. And now after a generous European Union bailout agreement was finally reached and approved in the Greek parliament, the Greek prime minister has decided | Read More »
When a liberal commentator like Doyle McManus at the latimes.com talks about a possible third-party candidate in the 2012 presidential election, it is time to get out the magnifying glass and look at what he really is saying. Because this is something that is hanging over us conservatives like the Sword of Damocles – a shill candidate that will draw voters away from the Republican | Read More »
Well, here comes the ‘sexual harassment’ juggernaut with Republican Herman Cain in its sights. These charges sound very, very suspect. Yet who could forget not just the many harassment charges by many women against Bill Clinton but an actual rape charge by Juanita Broaddrick. That was dismissed, however, because, after all, the statute of limitations had expired. And we really needed to rally around our | Read More »
Quick! Somebody call Al Gore! We just got 12 inches of ‘global warming’ up here in my neck of the woods in New England. Higher elevations got more. Jaffrey, New Hampshire got 31 inches! And the date of the snow was October 29-30, while we don’t normally get snow until December. But to Al Gore, all this snow is just a result of, well, ‘global | Read More »
(With Obama recently focusing on college loans, here is a Spring 2011 editorial about college costs from nikitas3.com) With scrutiny of spending on every level, Americans now need to investigate some of the most greedy people in America – our left-wing colleges and universities and their outrageous tuition/room&board costs whose meteoric rises have been chronicled repeatedly including in a famous 1998 report. Those costs have | Read More »
Americans are expected to spend a whopping $6.8 billion on halloween this year. Today there are more than 2,500 ‘haunted’ attractions nationwide. Thousands of temporary halloween stores now pop up after Labor Day. And you may say, “So what?” and “It’s just fun, isn’t it?” And the answer is no, that it is a disturbing trend. Because it represents a cultural shift, the mainstream acceptance | Read More »
(We can wipe out the $14 trillion national debt easily. According to commonly-accepted figures, the United States has in ‘oil shale’ formations (a wax-like oil trapped in rock formations) 2 trillion barrels of oil. These deposits are on public land in Colorado and Utah. At $93 a barrel reported on October 26, 2011, that is $186 trillion worth of oil. If the government stops accumulating debt today and | Read More »
TV actor Alec Baldwin, generally known for his far-left views and his alleged threat to decamp from America if George W. Bush was elected president in 2000, seems to be getting a little nervous about the Wall Street protesters/thugs. He recently was mingling with the ‘occupiers’ when he said things like “I think capitalism is worthwhile” and “you have to have capital markets in this | Read More »
Herman Cain is surging in Republican presidential primary polls supported by us Tea Partiers and conservatives. Yet aren’t we supposed to be “racists” according to insults hurled at us for decades by Democrats? Then when we find a conservative black candidate like Cain whom we can embrace, the racism just gushes from the Democrats. It is like the 100 years of Democrat hatred of blacks | Read More »
There’s an old question that asks something like, “What happens after you throw the rascals out?” And that is a question that needs to be answered all over the Middle East as good leaders like Mubarak and brutal dictators like Ghaddafi fall to protests and rebel uprisings. What is in store for these nations? Will freedom burst out all over like Spring flowers? Or is | Read More »
Here it comes. Again. We hear this story at least once a year. Washingtonpost.com recently reported: ‘…right now a nationwide transportation system built in the middle of the 20th century is falling apart. There isn’t enough money to arrest its decline, and the public is largely oblivious to the need. …The American Society of Civil Engineers has estimated that an investment of $1.7 trillion is | Read More »
I watched the first 40 minutes of the Republican presidential debate last night from Las Vegas and shut it off. I think Michele Bachmann came out strong, although I found her outfit distracting. The debate was mostly an embarrassment, yet it did bring out some valid points. First, every one of these debaters should do two things – include regular criticisms of Obama throughout the | Read More »
This whole ‘uprising’ against Wall Street can be debunked easily. It is nothing more than a fake Democrat and socialist and communist movement against capitalism. The socialist left has caused the world economic crisis and now wants to put the blame elsewhere. No matter what anyone tries to argue, the following are 20 established facts: *The current American crisis was set off by a huge | Read More »
*Writing in the New Republic, former Obama director of the Office of Management and Budget Peter Orszag said in an article called ‘Too much of a good thing – Why we need less democracy’ ‘To solve the serious problems facing our country, we need to minimize the harm from legislative inertia by relying more on automatic policies and depoliticized commissions for certain policy decisions.

(The column below was written by Tom Ross, director of Massachusetts Citizens for Constitution Reform. It appeared at the end of his booklet A Journey Through Your Massachusetts Constitution.) In joining us on this journey through our Massachusetts Constitution we hope that you have gained an appreciation for the great truths contained in it. The purpose of this journey is to look back on where | Read More »
Last winter I heard Donald Trump interviewed twice on the radio. His direct, confident commentary without a moment of hesitation during extensive questioning made me believe that Trump could easily be our next president. Because Americans today are looking for a leader with a clear grasp of the issues. And after listening to equivocating, mushy Republicans like John McCain and even the un-sure-footed George W. | Read More »
We conservatives may think that once Obama is voted out of office that things will get better. And indeed Mitt Romney or Herman Cain or Rick Perry or any of the current field would be an infinitely better president than Obama and would remove the dark cloud that Obama is casting over our nation and our economy. The election of any Republican will lead to | Read More »
