America’s Suicide
Dear America, You brought this on yourselves. You didn’t vote in every election, but when you did vote, you voted for misanthropes, morons, communists, RINOS, felons, and other ner-do-wells who had no business in public office. While putting all of these brain surgeons in office, you wrote your own obituary. You allowed school systems in [...]
The Insidious War on the Helpless – part 1
It has been noted by Alexis DeToqueville that “America is great because America is good. When she ceases to be good, she will cease to be great.” It has also been noted that the greatness of a society rests on how that society treats the helpless among them. In the midst of so much that [...]
Bringing Politics Home
In Kevin Miller’s excellent book, “Freedom Nationally, Virtue Locally,” he makes the case for maintaining the moral character of the civil society through the policies and practices we implement close to home, on the city, county, and state levels, while reinforcing the central purpose of the Federal Government–which is to protect the liberty of [...]
Why Did the Founding Fathers Emphasize Morality?
At some point in the near future there will be a national separation based on ideology and–interestingly enough–personal behavior. This is what I mean; The success of Progressive/Socialist ideology is dependent upon personal lawlessness. Hence, the welfare state. Excluding Social Security and Medicare, the welfare state does not primarily mete its tax-payer funded substance [...]
Going Galt With The Education System
Anyone who followed me on Twitter or Facebook knows I’ve been saying for months that Election 2012 was not going to end well. I’ve been saying for years that this country is dramatically split and it is something that digs deep into the core. I was talking with a friend about where this nation [...]
When Hero Worship Turns To Tyranny
One doesn’t have to be an historian to know what happens when subjects worship rulers. Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao, and Il come to mind. What starts as an adoring mass (thinking their troubles will be over when the guy making promises actually keeps them), turns into all out deifying of that leader/ruler, and [...]
Was Ann Romney Too Blonde?
When I was growing up, the hair color ads said, “Blondes have more fun!” And of course, from the movies we learned that “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.” So we thought, “Beautiful equals blonde.” And then there were the blonde jokes that confirmed “Dumb equals blonde.” (This may be useful folk wisdom. Need we say more than [...]
Military Wives Go On Full Alert
Military wives have gone on full alert as the David Petraeus/Paula Broadwell scandal unfolds! There is even more to be concerned with now that we know General John Allen was carpet bombing the exotic Jill Kelley with emails. What’s happening with these powerful men in positions of trust? A column by Jacey Eckhart [...]
Making Your Home a Haven of Security
The institutions of the United States of America are faltering and the federal government is now the enemy of liberty here and throughout the world. Economic problems are compounded by regulations, high corporate taxes and the Obama Administration’s War on Energy. We have always known that an economic storm was brewing and we pronounced, [...]
Identity Politics in America
One of my pet peeves has always been identity politics. Personally, I consider myself to be just an American. I don’t call myself a Caucasian American, a Jewish American, or a Double-X Chromosome American. I’m just one of the guys, so to speak. I work, I pay my taxes, I raised a family, I [...]
