    Frederick Douglass Was an Uncle Tom

    Being our post-racial President isn’t working out any better for The Boy President than anything else he’s tried since taking office. There’s been a plethora of racist, hate-filled rhetoric filling the news this past week. From the NAACP calling Kenneth Gladney an “Uncle Tom” and the New Black Panther Party declaring war on “Crackers” I would say racism is alive and well in America. The | Read More »

    Afghanistan: The Boy President’s Expedient War

    The War in Afghanistan was convenient during the Boy President’s campaign.  It allowed him to appear strong enough on National Defense to stand out from his surrender at any cost Democrat opponents and suck in more than a few independent voters who should have known better.  Once securely seated on his throne the Boy President began to backpedal on his “Good War”. His troubles with | Read More »

    Honor and Privilege

    I received several emails from some friends this morning. It gave me a bit of a shock. The one that started it included this line… ”…and a special THANK YOU to those of you who have fought for the FREEDOMS that I and my family have today! You all ROCK!” Until the moment I read that I hadn’t realized that I was one of the | Read More »

    North Carolina Tea Party Doesn’t Fit in the GOP “Big Tent”

    The old time Republicans in North Carolina have decided that after all their crying for a “Big Tent”, what we have just isn’t big enough for the Tea Parties or the Tea Parties’ candidate, Tim D’Annunzio. In a move reminiscent of a Hillary Clinton Bimbo Eruption Control Effort, North Carolina GOP leaders have unearthed Tim’s 1995 divorce and his estranged wife’s ravings**. Republican officials are | Read More »

    Do You Measure Trash by the Barrel? or by the Gallon?

    Breathless Democrats are keeping their Lame Stream Media supporters and co-conspirators busy these days. Just as their faithful lap dog cable news host finishes reporting on the latest of the ever increasing estimates of the quantity of oil leaking into the gulf, another Congressman, City Councilmember or foreign President has to be quoted flapping their gums about the Arizona Immigration Law. The lapdog media has | Read More »

    “The Old Issue” Rears Its Ugly Head

    “HERE is nothing new nor aught unproven,” say the Trumpets, “Many feet have worn it and the road is old indeed. “It is the King—the King we schooled aforetime!” (Trumpets in the marshes—in the eyot at Runnymede!) “Here is neither haste, nor hate, nor anger,” peal the Trumpets, “Pardon for his penitence or pity for his fall. “It is the King!”—inexorable Trumpets— (Trumpets round the | Read More »

    Refresh Your Martial Spirit: Le Boudin

    It doesn’t take long listening to the statist’s cries of “inevitability” for my martial spirit to flag. We’ve been at this fight for a long time. They stole our summer, the last few weeks that should have belonged to our families were instead spent at Townhall Meetings, trying to convince our aristocracy that the Constitution is preferable to The Communist Manifesto. They ruined Christmas, replacing | Read More »

    Time for the Redstate Resolves?

    In 1775, a group of patriots gathered in a North Carolina town known as Cross Creek. Now part of Fayetteville, North Carolina, the spot where the tavern they gathered in is only a few miles from my home. These men gathered at the tavern not for a night out with the boys, but to sign a document known as the Liberty Point Resolves. Their gathering | Read More »

    Our Lack of a Candidate for 2012

    There have been a dozen blogs and thousands of comments across the blogosphere lately bemoaning our lack of a candidate for 2012. Invariably, the ones that start the harsh words and ill feelings are the ones that begin to eliminate possible candidates. I don’t need to go over the downfalls of any of the candidates here to remind anyone of the shortfalls that others see | Read More »

    The Band of Brothers and the Apology That is Owed

    It is now the day after the passing of Pennsylvania Congressman Jack Murtha. I have chewed through my lips biting them to wait this long, it’s long enough. More than he deserved.

    Tea Parties: The Way Forward From A Historical Perspective

    Patrick Henry in the Virginia House of Burgesses, 1765 “Caesar had his Brutus, Charles I his Cromwell, and George III… …may profit by their example. If this be treason, make the most of it.” The Tea Party Movement in 2009 set a precedent that hasn’t been seen since the original Tea Party. The last time so many Americans gathered to tell their government that they | Read More »

    Too Many Choices In Our Animating Contest Of Freedom

    The “most viewed” Health article on the UK Telegraph yesterday was a bit of progressive tripe by Richard Alleyne, entitled “Too much choice leaving us bewildered and depressed”, some of the brilliance espoused is below… From the foods we eat, to the television channels we watch, to the schools we send our children too and the career we choose to pursue, society has never offered | Read More »

    America, Land of the “Mostly Free”

    The Republican Civil War, Are You Sure you Want To Go There?

    Conservatives in America have been thrust into a Civil War.  We didn’t ask for a Civil War, we have made a big deal out of our dissatisfaction with the GOP “Establishment”, a euphemism for the RINO’s and “squishes” that currently hold the reins of power in our party, but we didn’t secede from the party.  We may have rebelled, we may be “traitors” but the | Read More »

    Does Anyone Know A 12-Step Program For Hypocrisy?

    I admit it, I’m an addict and I need help. I can’t kick this by myself. I’ve tried, time and time again; it’s just so easy to get a fix.

    Remember New York 23!

    Dede is gone, throwing her support behind the Democrat in the final proof of her worth as a Republican.  This race was advertised as our “Hill To Die On”, it is only fitting to continue in a military venue.   On the eve of the election in NY 23 Doug Hoffman finds himself as our modern day William Travis, standing on the walls of the Alamo.  | Read More »

    The Government Goes a-Viking

    It is always a temptation to a rich and lazy nation, To puff and look important and to say: “Though we know we should defeat you, we have not the time to meet you. We will therefore pay you cash to go away.” And that is called paying the Dane-geld; But we’ve proved it again and again, That if once you have paid him the | Read More »

    The American Aristocracy: Those Favored Few, Booted and Spurred

    America is about to lose its republican form of government, the once vaunted phrases in the Declaration of Independence, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving | Read More »
