When Help Hurts

The deadline for closing the last remaining FEMA trailer parks in Louisiana is fast approaching and, as I predicted some days ago, bleeding heart reports are beginning to hit the wires. Just today an Associated Press story was picked up by my local paper, The Press-Enterprise. Beginning with the headline — “Katrina victims face new worry” — the [...]

Thieves Have Rights Too

Gabe Fidanque owns a liquor store in Durango, Colorado. By Gabe’s account, picaroons were swiping “about $1,000 worth of merchandise a month,” according to a recent blurb in the “Weird News” section of The Californian. Deciding he’d had enough, the retailer “started telling shoplifters he caught that they had two choices: Give him one of their shoes or [...]

No Place For Politics

Last year’s release of the latest National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) produced a firestorm of criticism directed at President Bush. The President had consistently portrayed Iran as a dangerous foe determined to acquire nuclear weapons, but the 2007 NIE seemed to contradict that determination. Democratic Senator Dennis Kucinich led a chorus of accusers heck-bent on inflicting another damaging [...]

Dangerous Buffoon

If you are looking for a reason to support redistricting, look no further than Maxine Waters. Elected to the House of Representatives in 1990, Waters is routinely returned to office with 80% or more of the vote. By her own admission, she perceives her service in terms of “bringing Washington money to my district,” and spending your tax dollars on [...]

Honoring the Fallen

Once a year, America remembers and honors those who have died defending the country. Counting from the Revolutionary War on, approximately 1,000,000 Americans have given the last full measure of devotion, proving beyond doubt that freedom is not free. Without the sacrifice of brave men and women, this last best hope for mankind would not be enjoying its [...]

The Week of May 26, 2008

Maxine Waters has done everyone a favor by revealing her true intentions, and her own shortcomings. A befuddled and incompetent Representative, Waters regularly enjoys nearly 100% voter support. We’ll incorporate her misadventures with those of other usually closet socialists, including Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, and of course Barack Obama. America may be at a genuine crossroad as [...]

The Truth About ANWR

 
As energy prices surge upward, Americans are about to experience real-world consequences of 30 years of environmentalism. Industry experts have long debated the desirability of harvesting the crude oil beneath ANWR’s tundra. As far back as World War II ANWR was suspected of having massive reserves of crude oil, and in the 1980s U.S. Geological Survey studies confirmed that billions of [...]

The Good Old Days

It won’t be long before Americans are longing for the good old days of $4.00 per gallon gasoline. So say industry analysts who ought to know. “Others who watch [energy trends] very closely forecast that we’re going to be hitting $12 and $15 per gallon,” said Robert Hirsch, Management Information Services Senior Energy Advisor, during [...]

On the Job Training

Now that Barack Obama has pretty much wrapped up the Democratic nomination and considering the latest Zogby poll showing Obama holding a commanding lead over John McCain, a betting man would wager that Senator Barack Obama will be the 44th President of the United States. The good news is we have just over five months to figure [...]

“…and a Car in Every Garage”

Campaign promises and actions films share a common trap. Each promise, or car crash, must be succeeded by something better. More of the same just won’t do. Thus, the climactic fight sequences in the “Rocky” sequels grew ever longer and more violent. More punches were thrown and more blood spilled in each succeeding movie. As the [...]
