On Getting Older
When I was young and in my prime I swore I would never become an old fuddy-duddy. You know the type; always crabbing about how society is going downhill and consistently hyping the good old days. I used to think these seasoned citizens were out of touch, stuck in the past, inflexible and maybe a little [...]

Freedom’s Fall
An enduring theme of human history is the elusive quest for individual liberty. Throughout the ages, the vast majority of people have lived under the rule of autocratic leaders. Individuals were elevated to favored positions or put to a cruel death based on nothing more than the whim of a potentate of one kind or another. In the lion’s share of all societies, [...]

In Defense Of Bickering
As the push intensifies to implement President Obama’s bailout plan, a disturbing trend has emerged. Appearing in numerous articles, op-eds, and letters to editors, average Americans have been bombarded with the message that in light of the current crisis, partisan bickering and ideological posturing must stop. Typical of these pronouncements was this broadside from California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger [...]

What We Deserve
I hate to admit it, but we got what we deserved on November 4th, we being Republicans. After all, the Republican Revolution, born in such earnest hope and expectation in 1994, died an ugly death several years ago. That first Republican majority in the House of Representatives, taking office in 1995, slashed earmarks and spending, producing [...]

Whether You Like It Or Not
Proposition 8 goes to the heart of the culture war in California and the nation. Watch and read. It’s too important not to.
By Frank Schubert, Campaign Chairman Yes on Proposition 8:
The top issue that has emerged in the Proposition 8 campaign is whether same-sex marriage will be taught in California public schools if the initiative is [...]

The Obama Standard For Rights
During Tuesday’s Presidential Debate, moderator Tom Brokaw got right to the heart of the battle for America’s soul. Probably without realizing the import of his question, Brokaw asked both candidates, “Is health care in America a privilege, a right, or a responsibility?” The answers offered by Barack Obama and John McCain were revealing on many levels, demonstrating just how far left [...]

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 [...]

Don’t Sack Jack!
Hell must have frozen over, because I am about to defend Jack Cafferty. Talk about lifting “strange bedfellows” to an entirely new level! Cafferty recently said some stridently abrasive things about Chinese products and leaders. In response, Chinese-Americans and Chinese citizens permitted to work in America ”rallied outside CNN’s Hollywood office…to demand” CNN sack Jack, according to the [...]

Core Value #7 — A Strong National Identity
At first glance, “A Strong National Identity” may appear out of place in a list of core values. However, all great nations have been built as citizens coalesced around the idea of national purpose. Devotion to “this blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England” transcended Shakespeare’s King Richard II, becoming a de facto national motto propelling the British [...]
