Lessons are most easily forgotten when your candle burns at both ends. You know what I’m talking about. History is such a great teacher, but some things you must learn from your mom and dad. Your friends can teach you | Read More »

For Those With a Short Memory, We Didn’t Start the Fire.* If you can’t see the image go here. Well now. The Democrats got their clocks cleaned in November. Voters took them to the woodshed and when the spankin was over, the Republicans once again owned the House and made significant gains in the Senate.

It seems he was thinking about Big Sis and her department. With the TSA, | Read More »
I was unpacking some Christmas lights today that were wrapped in old newspapers. I am late again with this chore. I struggle dealing with things I don’t like to do. That’s normal, isn’t it? I noticed from one of the old, crinkled newspaper pages that the big national story of December 29, 2002, was that extended unemployment benefits had expired the day before. Pundits were | Read More »
Do these guys have the right stuff? Do they have any idea at all what drove the November election results? _________________________________________________________________________ They did it again.

One begets the other as history | Read More »

When I first found my way to RedState, now nearly a year ago, the first diary I read was by Art Chance. The man can write. His overarching message was about the use of power and how to use it aggressively, even ruthlessly. Take no prisoners. So said the aging eagle. Fascinating and written from an insider’s point of view as the Labor Relations Director | Read More »

How can a little ruling class elite act in the best interest of the people they are supposed to represent? How can they design the rules by which a society progresses? They can’t. History proves it. All they can really do is offer up serfdom hidden by populist rhetoric. Where the ruling class gets total control, it always goes badly, very badly. Listen to Bill | Read More »

The Democrats played games with the the American people and the Constitution for over a year. Finally, near the end of March this year, they dragged the carcass of health care reform across the finish line. Oh, happy days for them or so they thought. You remember the signing. With an arrogant “we’re done”, Obama signed HCR into law: Yep, we’re done all right. And | Read More »
