Have a Happy, Reflective, and Fruitful Fourth of July

July 4th, 2011

By Dan Miller Our history can guide our future if we will that it do so. Here are some words from a Fourth of July speech given by Theodore Roosevelt to the citizens of Dickinson, in the Dakotas, back in 1886. Dickinson had a population of about seven hundred but many from other communities came [...]

Governments Rot When Their Citizens Let Them (Part I)

April 30th, 2011

By Dan Miller We get the worst government we’re prepared to tolerate. Not long ago I suggested that we might as well elect a real clown, Grumpy, to serve as president of the United States. When he ran (very successfully) for the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies in 2010, Grumpy promised that, with him in office, [...]

No More Bullying! Except for a Good Cause

March 18th, 2011

By Dan Miller Bully kids? Bad. Union bullies? Role models for kids. There was an excellent article a few days ago on some of the reasons why the government is too big, expensive and pervasive. There are additional reasons, including the very nature of the bureaucratic process and the propensity of many to demand that [...]

Priorities for Cutting Government Spending

February 28th, 2011

By Tom Carter It’s often a mistake to paint all of the liberal mainstream media with the same brush. Granted, the New York Times and many others have pretty much descended into being little more than propaganda organs for liberals in general and the Democratic Party in particular. That’s not to say that conservatives and [...]

Random Thoughts

October 16th, 2010

By Brianna Aubin I’ve always found it ironic that although the Left is quite enthusiastic about helping small business, the middle class, and the pursuit of the American dream, they then immediately go on to punish any of those small businessmen or middle class members who actually manage to attain the American dream by becoming [...]

How To Tell If You’re A Conservative

September 20th, 2010

By Nancy Morgan For too long, conservatives have allowed the left to define them. With more Americans becoming disillusioned with Obama, it’s time to counter the media’s portrayal of conservatives as radical, illegitimate extremists, concerned only with amassing wealth and kicking gays. Here’s a quick guide to help identify the basic differences between leftists and [...]

Don’t Blame Bush, Blame the Right!

June 17th, 2010

By Brianna Aubin The President has met the enemy, and he is the Tea Parties. Or at least, that is apparently what Mr. Weber of the Huffington Post thinks is responsible for Obama’s inability to follow through on the great promises of his candidate days. In the Post’s latest attempt to find something, anything to [...]

Words of Wisdom

March 6th, 2010

by Jane Thomas I’ve been reading Zell Miller’s book, A National Party No More, and, although I think he is a conflicted man in his approach to politics, he makes some very interesting comments on the process in the Senate. This book was published in 2003, but his comments resonate even more today. He tells [...]

Demoralized in America

November 26th, 2009

I read the news and see that the Democratic majority has totally bought into President Obama’s vision of Utopia; a United States that needs to be remade into a country that is less of a threat to our enemies and more acceptable to European Socialists.
