National survey reveals uninformed citizenry

The American Revolution Center has released results of an eye-opening survey, summing things up with this headline:

83 Percent of U.S. Adults Fail Test on Nation’s Founding

Nationwide Survey Shows Stunning Knowledge Void, Yet Strong Desire to Learn More

The survey, conducted via telephone, used a random sampling of men and women over the age of 18 [...]

Pig flu and prisoners in the age of war

After stirring up more than a little chaos and panic over the stupid pig flu, including Obama’s declaration of a national emergency, and health queen Kathleen Sebelius insisting we must take the vaccine – except there isn’t enough vaccine to go around – one could almost hear Chicken Little flying around in his coop screaming, [...]

Media bands together... for once

First we had the attacks on Glenn Beck, followed by a full-out assault on Fox News. David Axelrod urged what the White House deems “real news” stations not to question the administration, lest they too be “put in their place” by the all-knowing, my-way-or-no-way administration.
Here was their next move (which includes a little background for [...]

Is the green job czar wilting?

Over the past couple of weeks, many of us have learned quite a bit about green jobs czar and self-avowed communist Van Jones.

While most of the extremely radical beliefs of the green jobs czar have been dismissed by the mainstream media, at least one drive-by did decide to pick up on the fact that [...]

What finding your own voice sounds like

Within America’s current state of affairs, it seems like many Americans are waiting, standing in the wings. They know something is wrong, even if they don’t know the source of all the problems. But many people are afraid to speak out, much less rock the boat.

Not that no one needs a cheerleader from time to [...]

Health care, the White House and suspicious activity

It’s not without notice that an overwhelming number of Americans say they are happy with their current healthcare coverage. Nor is it without notice that as members of Congress come home for a little “furlow”, they are incessantly questioned on the government’s hell-bent desire to “transform” healthcare by people who are, in many cases, more [...]

The Boxer’s at it again

As if we needed an other example of elected officials talking down to anyone who dares speak out against them, seems like Barabara Boxer is at it again – this time taking on Harry Alford, National Black Chamber of Commerce CEO.

Certainly, it can’t go without notice that on July 16, Babs wasn’t as staunch in [...]

The haughty senator

Imagine you are sitting in on a Senate Committee on Environmental and Public Works hearing. For the purposes of this story, let’s say one of the senators is Barbara Boxer (D-CA).

As you listen in, your mind starts to wonder. You ask yourself what got her (or any other senator) to that place, and remember the [...]

Kentucky Tea Party

I’m not afraid to admit that the John Adams mini-series is one of my favorite things.  The oratories by our founders speak of great courage and vision in full knowledge that their “crimes” against England could land them a trip to the gallows – death by hanging. Yet their perseverance to lead the charge and [...]

Because elections have consequences

One of the most telling remarks I’ve heard post-election has, in the days leading to the grand immaculation and those that are following, become one I keep close to my heart: Elections have consequences.

Certainly, this should come as no surprise to any of us. Yet it seems to be a statement of truth that has [...]
