Wanna guess where this line is quoted from? A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. Karl Marx’s Communist Manifesto? Mao Tse Teng? Hitler? The Khmer Rouge? Hannibal? Caligula? Keep guessing. Apparently a lot of people [...]

When Obama nominated Sonia Sotomayor, Obama said he wanted someone who: “combined intellect and empathy—the ability to understand the troubles of everyday Americans.” Sotomayor had already gained a certain notoriety for stating: “I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experience would more often than not reach a better conclusion [...]

A very simple cross, nestled in the heart of the Mojave Desert, sat pretty much undisturbed, and for the most part un-noticed for 75 years. In 1934 the Cross was erected on public property. It sat there for a long, long, time. The wooden crosses invariably fell and were replaced over the years. In 1994 [...]

Yesterday we had two issues, among many, that demanded Obama’s attention. Fannie Mae, the largest U.S. residential mortgage funds provider, on Monday asked the government for an additional $8.4 billion after the company lost $13.1 billion in the first quarter. Barack Obama, addressing an audience in Hampton, Virginia, said nothing. The government very quietly wrote [...]

Barack Obama surprised me on this one. He went with a woman on his last Supreme Court pick. And, she was a Latino as well. That meant, in order to cover all his bases, he needed a black male Communist, er, Socialist. Instead, he went with Elena Kagan: She’s not a he. She doesn’t appear [...]

President Obama is gearing up for a fight to get Goodwin Liu for the 9th Circuit. For those not in the know, that’s the one from San Francisco. It represents the liberal heart and soul. I don’t think you’re going to find a conservative judge in that part of the world, so that point is [...]

First, the obvious: Per Eric Holder, the new hate crimes bill was not intended to protect everyone equally under the law. I got a problem with that. The ONLY intent of the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights is to insure everyone is protected equally by the law. For the US Attorney General to [...]

I love Snopes.com. No telling what you’ll find there. Humor, movies, sports, paranormal, extra-terrestrial, politics, you name it, it’s there. One of today’s stories involve an opinion piece written by Charley Reese in 1985. Politicians, as I have often said, are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them. [...]

President is going around assuring lots of things about his health care insurance reform. Although finding a lot of it in writing is difficult, if not impossible, he just says it’s the way it will be. Supporters believe him blindly, detractors don’t. I’m a person who has to see something in writing. On the issue [...]

President Obama decided early on he couldn’t be the eyes and ears of the entire planet. So, he took on peeps to do it for him and gave them the lofty title of “czar”. Now, just for an aside, the term “czar”: an emperor or king. the former emperor of Russia. an autocratic ruler or [...]
