CONGRATULATIONS BART BRANNON!

Friday, June 27th, 2008

Now that Hillary has been “kicked to the curb” so to speak, Bart Brannon should be collecting thousands of dollars from those of you who bet it wouldn’t happen. As I recall, Caroline, John, Al Swearingen, Lefty, Mike Parker (aka “Mad Dog” and a few other things), David O’Rear and a few others can now […]

Bilderbergers set to meet in D.C.

Thursday, June 5th, 2008

Gee - I wonder what these gentlemen are planning on behalf of mankind? I find it interesting that there is virtually no reporting on this group as well as the CFR and Trilateral Commission. Seeing as they are exclusive invitation only organizations comprised only of the richest and most powerful people, one would think there […]

Monday, January 28th, 2008

Yet one more argument to avoid Socialized Medicine at all cost….read on…from today’s Daily Mail. This is the kind of healtcare you get when you go to a system like this…
A school boy who was deaf for nine years was suddenly cured - when a cotton wool bud suddenly popped out of his ear.

OPS! The surge is working if …

Monday, December 3rd, 2007

IF the Pentagon gets to write a new dictionary, travel back in time to reset the goal posts, and breaks the Law of Gravity.

While the Defense Department has, in multiple reports, stated that a certain number of (Iraqi) units are either “independent” or “fully independent,” it is unclear how the military arrived at the determination, […]

Have the New Hampshire and Iowa Primaries Lost Their Significance?

Sunday, December 2nd, 2007

I’m going out on a limb and make a prediction here and I really have no basis or strong evidence for doing so.  Just my gut instinct.  Here goes:  “Whoever wins the ‘08 Iowa and New Hampshire GOP primaries will not be the next President”.  Gosh why did I do that to myself?  Oh well […]

The GOP: A House Divided

Monday, November 19th, 2007

The GOP has divided like some amoeba on a glass slide under a microscope. 
There are the Globalists that continue to warn the various GOP candidates and politicians that they will damage their political careers if they take the side of those wanting to seal the border and strictly enforce existing immigration laws.  They blame the […]

Duncan Hunter on Columbia University

Tuesday, September 25th, 2007

Cong. Duncan Hunter has the right idea.  Nothing less than cutting all federal aid and funding from Columbia University.  He wants to send a message to the radical anti-American left.   Here’s Hunters press release from Saturday 9/22/07:
“To host the leader of Iran when he supports terrorists that are moving deadly roadside bombs across the Iraqi border to […]

The “Culture of the Drunk” Migrates Northward

Sunday, August 26th, 2007

Texas and other border states have suffered as a result of illegal immigration for years.   And we’ve received zero help from the northern states until some of that pain and suffering  began to “migrate” north into their backyards and have a negative effect upon them.   But that’s what we’ve learned to expect from the more […]

Patriot Acts

Thursday, August 9th, 2007

This one is so darned good I just had to post it:

Do We Have a Patriotic Duty to Vote?

Thursday, July 12th, 2007

“Mac” wrote something on another recent thread that I found intriguing and worthy of a post for discussion. He wrote:
“At this point, voters may have to choose between the ‘lesser of two evils’ if they plan to do their patriotic duty and vote.”
Let me say at the outset that I appreciate Mac’s sentiment that […]

A Hero Gets Fired - and He Didn’t Even Have to Shoot

Monday, July 2nd, 2007

Here’s my latest post over at The ACRU Blog:
Last week, a story in Jacksonville, FL, was ignored by the national media, but it should not have been. The story concerns the heroism of Colin Bruley, who came to his neighbor’s rescue after she fell victim to a gun shot during a domestic brawl. Those who […]

The State as an Anti-Social Institution

Friday, June 29th, 2007

In the responses to my previous post, the question of whether the State and government are synonymous was asked. The answer is that they are not. The government is necessary to civic life, the absence of which is anarchy. The State, by way of contrast, is a parasite, sapping the power and […]

The State As God

Thursday, June 28th, 2007

“However, the most immediate and tangible threat is the state itself. I want to repeat this because it cannot be stressed too much. The state and the concentration of its power, exemplified in the predominance of the budget, have become a cancerous growth gnawing at the freedom and order of society and economy. Surely, […]

Romney Is Griswold!

Thursday, June 28th, 2007

Remember that famous scene in National Lampoon’s Vacation where Clark Griswold is pulled over by a policeman for dragging Aunt Edna’s disgusting mutt behind the car for several miles? Well, it turns out that GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney had a similar episode on a family vacation of his own. He even had […]

If Republicans still controlled Congress…

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

(post-with-videos) This hearing on the air quality in New York City in the days and weeks following 9/11 would have never taken place. Christie Todd Whitman wouldn’t have had to sit at a table and answer questions under oath. She wouldn’t have had to view tapes of her statements attesting to the safe […]
