THE CAVE DWELLINGS OF AFGHANISTAN

2013-05-16T21:22:00.000-07:00

Afghanistan...A stone age people Have you ever watched Star Trek? If so you are probably familiar with the Prime Directive that prohibits the crew of the Enterprise from interfering in the development of a primitive culture. Our political leaders should heed the wisdom of that concept. For over a decade Russia waged war in Afghanistan, eventually bankrupting their national treasury. As they withdrew to lick their wounds, the people of that primitive nation went on with their...

BENGHAZI AND WATERGATE...NIXON AND OBAMA...IMPEACHMENT?

2013-05-15T10:19:00.000-07:00

So many are comparing Watergate and Benghazi and the similarities are actually very few. No one died at Watergate. Four died and many more wounded in Benghazi. Nixon initially had nothing to do with Watergate. He only got involved in the later cover up protecting his subordinates who initiated a petty breaking and entering. Weeks prior to the attack both Obama and Secretary of State Clinton were involved in systematically removing the Ambassador's defensive shield. Watergate was purely a...

EVERY FLAG TELLS A STORY

2013-05-12T21:31:00.000-07:00

Unless there is some strange liberal out there who is practicing self flagellation and reads my essays as his own private penance then I believe it goes without saying that all of my readers are conservative, flag loving American patriots. That being said I also believe that most if not all of those readers know what the colors, stars and stripes in our flag represent, and with that, I present you with a challenge. Ask your children, or grandchildren, as the case may be, if they know...

THE DECLINE AND FALL OF AMERICA 2.0

2013-05-11T05:43:00.000-07:00

The Ruins of Detroit In my most recent essay, The Decline And Fall Of America, I called upon the wisdom and knowledge of Edward Gibbons and his great six volume collection about the decline and fall of the Roman empire. The similarities of what happened there and what is occurring in the present day United States is apparent to any who know even a little about history and current events. That there is a strong similitude between us and Rome is undeniable, but something is taking place...

THE DECLINE AND FALL OF AMERICA

2013-05-08T06:54:00.000-07:00

I read Edward Gibbon's "Decline And Fall Of The Roman Empire" in my early twenties. That was many moons ago and needless to say I have forgotten most of it. However, I remember enough of it that I am constantly comparing events that took place then with what is transpiring today. The similarities are staggering, and so it is time to refresh my memory somewhat. I lack the time to read the entire six volumes again but thanks to the internet, finding specific points I seek is a breeze. The thing...

WHEN LEADERS FALTER SERFDOM NEARS

2013-05-05T03:17:00.000-07:00

There is no doubt in my mind that Sir Winston Churchill was not only one of the finest leaders of the twentieth century, he was also one of the bravest. I am about to use two of his greatest quotes, the first to show why I am no longer concerned about stepping on someone's toes. I write in hopes of informing some and changing the minds of others. If you are unable to confront the truth you are wasting your time reading my thoughts, and time is far too precious to waste. The first of the...

IN DEFENSE OF FREEDOM OF RELIGION

2013-05-03T00:14:00.000-07:00

I have often described myself as being spiritual but not religious, and I am not about to change my views, but it looks as though I am about to embark on a crusade in defense of those who are religious. Due to an article that I just read that angered me, I decided about five minutes ago to begin this essay. Quite honestly at this point I am uncertain if I am defending the religious, the Constitution, this nation, or all of the above. We will learn the answer together as the effort...

AMERICA'S PLACE IN A WORLD GONE MAD

2013-05-01T04:37:00.000-07:00

Every morning I launch on a new day of internet research and sometimes wonder if the Mad Hatter is on the loose. On those really bad days I am led to believe that he holds political office. Before Hussein Obama was ever elected we all heard him dismiss the exceptional qualities of our nation. Those words heralded the end of this country and our freedom, and far too few heeded the warning. For over a century the U.S.A. had been one of the leaders of the free world. After WWII none doubted that...

THE HISTORY OF OUR FUTURE

2013-04-29T04:36:00.000-07:00

The most basic premise of physics, history, economics, and for that matter, any system known to man, is the law of cause and effect. You can run. You can hide. You can create diversions and excuses, but that law is immutable and unrelenting, for in time it will bite you on the ass with a vengeance. If one sets out to bake a pie, using the finest ingredients, the proper technique, paying careful attention to oven temperature and timing you can expect to produce a good pie. If, on the other...

RELIGIOUS RIGHTS UNDER ATTACK

2013-04-27T15:39:00.000-07:00

Anyone who knows me or has read many of my essays either knows or at least has surmised that I am spiritual but not religious, as I follow the teaching of no church. That being said, I do follow the principles laid down in our Constitution, including the Freedom of Religion. I do not know the young man in the adjoining image, but I know a lot about him. You see that Screaming Eagle on his shoulder. That is all that I need to know. I wore that Screaming Eagle in younger days and I will...

THE BOSTON BOMBING...AN UNEXPECTED TRIGGER

2013-04-27T05:13:00.000-07:00

I have long believed that Team Obama is rallying the forces that he intends to use in the final implementation of an unyielding dictatorial rule in America. Many others believe this as well and have long feared that the time was at hand. The great difference in my views and theirs is that I feel that Obama is in no hurry, actually preferring not to make his move until late 2015 or early 2016 prior to the scheduled Presidential election. In January of this year I wrote an essay entitled...

WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE TO WAKE UP THE CONSERVATIVES?

2013-04-24T07:12:00.000-07:00

I used to love watching Star Trek, and what I liked most about it was the optimism it presented. It portrayed the human race with a future, spreading out among the stars, guaranteeing the continued existence of our species in spite of the great follies we currently exhibit. Perhaps that is asking too much as those follies grow more dangerous with each passing day. Some of Star Trek's most interesting plots had to do with a member of the crew getting infected with an alien virus or spore, and...

THE FALLACY OF "MODERATE" MUSLIMS

2013-04-22T05:59:00.000-07:00

Zuhdi Jasser is one of the most perplexing people alive. I will be the first to state that he is a good man, a good patriot, and a good American. Beyond that we enter a realm of shadows and mystery. He is liked, admired, trusted and has many time over proven his devotion to the cause of freedom and his opposition to Sharia. The shadow realm that I speak of begins with his claim to be a devout Muslim, and I simply cannot accept that statement. None of this man's views or beliefs can be...

OBAMA...SCORNING OUR ALLIES...A NATIONAL DISGRACE

2013-04-17T05:48:00.000-07:00

Margaret Thatcher: "The Iron Lady" Obama's most recent assault on America's dignity took the form of once again offending the UK, and sadly most of our citizens didn't even notice. With each passing day my opinion of a large segment of our population degrades, but as my respect for so many of my fellow American weakens, my resolve to oppose their complacency and ignorance grows ever stronger. After his first inauguration in 2009 one of Hussein Obama's first official acts was to...

OBAMA...DISCONNECTED FROM REALITY OR A MAN WITH A PLAN?

2013-04-15T02:57:00.000-07:00

Many are they who deride Hussein as being grossly incompetent and disconnected from reality. They are sadly mistaken. While others may point to the fact that nothing he has done is in any way beneficial to America and therefore he is incompetent, I will use the same argument to prove that he is a man with a plan, and has not deviated one iota from that plan since assuming office; the plan being to destroy Israel and bring the U.S. to its knees. So far he has realized a greater success in his...

BENGHAZI: THEY WERE ALL WRONG AND I WAS RIGHT...THE PROOF:

2013-04-12T23:28:00.000-07:00

Perhaps the title to this essay sounds somewhat arrogant. Perhaps it is, but it got your attention and this truth must be revealed. Thousands of people have written about Benghazi, most with the same narrative and most with the same agenda; that agenda being to prove that Obama was personally involved in gunrunning to Syria, and that four men died in Benghazi due to his incompetence. Agendas have a terrible habit of inducing tunnel vision, allowing people to see nothing that falls outside of...

WAR AND RUMORS OF WAR

2013-04-10T02:57:00.000-07:00

Do you know how to deal with a bully? When he is in your face making his threats and telling you what he is going to do to you, kick him really hard in the shin. I guarantee you that he will double over in severe pain. That is when you grab the back of his head and shove it hard into your upcoming knee. Then while he is holding his face that has been turned into a bloody pulp you lean back slightly and kick him in the head, and when he falls you kick him a few more times for good measure. He...

LET THEM STARVE?

2013-04-08T23:34:00.000-07:00

I no longer watch TV. I can learn much more, much faster on the internet, but there was a time when I did watch some of the educational programming that was available. I recall one story in particular on National Geographic about an Arctic fox. She was a beautiful creature doing her very best to feed her latest litter in a year when food was scarce to non existent. She lost the battle. She was starving, her young were starving, and there was no way this valiant little lady could feed them,...

AMERICA...GONE WITH THE WIND

2013-04-06T19:06:00.000-07:00

I have said that this nation is dead. Rush Limbaugh says that it is dying. It's is all a matter of perspective. When did the Confederacy lose the Civil War. Was it when Lee signed the terms of surrender at Appomattox or during Sherman's march through the south and the burning of Atlanta? I choose to think that the fall of the south was signaled by the fiery sky over Georgia. Everything that occurred later was simply part of the last rites of a civilization that had passed on. I read...

MIDDLE EAST PROBLEMS...ONLY BEGINNING

2013-04-03T14:01:00.000-07:00

Nearly forty years ago an acquaintance tried to convince me that only a handful of powerful people were basically running the entire world, building and wrecking nations, causing wars, and spreading discord among all mankind. I lived in Florida at the time and concluded that this man had been out in the sun for too long, or perhaps he had been dropped on his head as a baby. At any rate I dismissed his thoughts as mere meaningless babble and promptly forgot it. How little did I know. Vision...

WE HAVE BEEN BETRAYED AND LIED TO

2013-03-31T02:54:00.001-07:00

Lady Justice She Has Her Work Cut Out For Her I have never been a member of a political party. I have instead been an independent with strong conservative traditional beliefs, and so have long leaned toward some of members of the Republican Party. In days past I supported Barry Goldwater and later Ronald Reagan, and would gladly have voted for Allen West had he chosen to run, but since Reagan left the White House none of his successors have been fit to hold the sacred office of the...

CHINA...AN INSIDER'S PERSPECTIVE

2013-03-29T22:34:00.000-07:00

I love the internet! There is not, nor has there ever been, a greater source of knowledge, and in all the human experience there has never been anything more fascinating than people, for it from our fellow human beings that all knowledge flows. We are the fountainhead of all that is known, and for millennia the flow of thoughts was seriously impeded by great distances. In 1776 it took an average of sixty five days for a sailing vessel to cross the Atlantic, and so if Thomas Jefferson wrote...

CIVIL UPHEAVAL AND OUR MILITARY

2013-03-25T02:06:00.000-07:00

It has long been my opinion that Obama feels absolutely no loyalty or concern for United States or its people. His loyalties lie with Islam, communism, and his own delusions of grandeur. His past and present affiliations with people who hope to destroy this nation leaves the field wide open insofar as speculating what he is capable of. What he is actually capable of is restricted by reality. What I believe he would like to see is the utter destruction of America and everyone who loves it, and...

POLITICAL POWER AND THE BARREL OF A GUN

2013-03-23T00:44:00.001-07:00

I hate to say anything good about someone who is truly evil, but on occasion such a person reveals a fundamental truth that others would rather not deal with. One such man was Mao Tse Tung, and the truth he announced was his arrogant remark that "All political power comes from the barrel of a gun." and he was one hundred percent right. One need but recall Obama's statement about a civilian defense force as well armed, trained, and funded as our military. The concept has been oft described as...

AMERICA...POWDER KEG WITH A SHORT FUSE

2013-03-19T01:28:00.000-07:00

Minute Man Statue The Shot Heard 'round The World So many, including myself, have been believing that the coming civil war will begin with a massive march of armed Americans on Washington D.C., intent on restoring liberty for our posterity. I now begin to reevaluate that premise and find it lacking. Americans always seek the ideal, and what could be more perfect than millions of our citizens in unison saying "I am mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore" and marching off to enact...
