Footnote to “Stolen Valor”: The Orlando Terrorist Attack
I wrote this article very much aware of the specter of the mass shooting at the Pulse nightclub a week ago–aware also that my thoughts can be seen and will certainly be interpreted by some as insensitive and just another contribution to the “homophobia” that helps foment acts of aggression towards members of the LGBTQ…
Read MoreThe Best Analysis I’ve Read to Date on the 2016 Presidential Elections
The following was written by Scott Lively – author, attorney, activist and former independent candidate for Governor of Massachusetts in the 2014 election. To start with I’m not endorsing anybody. I believe America has been under judgment since SCOTUS ruled in Everson v Board of Education (1947) that Jefferson’s “Separation of Church and State” metaphor…
Read MoreDonald Trump Channels Howard Beale
Paddy Chayefsky – via his creation, Howard Beale – was remarkably prescient. Having nursed a nation into sheeptitude through the twin nipples of TV and public education, the globalist/elitist/statist/Baalist wolf stands poised to come out of the shadows and straight up welcome us into their brave new world. Maybe, just maybe, it will take a…
Read MoreWhere the Spirit is the Lord, Mr. Trump?
Donald Trump recently got around to noting a specific verse from his professed “favorite book,” the Bible. Speaking at Liberty University, the candidate gave a fumbling nod to what he called “Two Corinthians 3:17,” the founding verse of the Christian school. “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty,” he gushed. Given the…

File this under ONE OF THE BEST QUOTES ON HUMAN NATURE AND POLITICAL THEORY EVER UTTERED. Would that every politician had this tattooed on their heart; their forehead if necessary. “There are only two possible forms of control: one internal and the other external; religious control and political control. They are of such a nature…

Read MoreClowns to the Left of Me, Jokers to the Right
The big buzz today is the alleged meltdown of the liberal left, caught on camera as Rep. Keith Ellison (Democrat Rep. from Michigan) went on a tear while being interviewed on the Fox Network’s Hannity by its host. I received numerous messages via the web about the exchange, citing it as proof that the progressives…
Read MoreAnswering A Fool According to His Folly – Pt. 1
I went to Amazon.com today to order another copy of Skousen’s seminal work, “The 5000 Year Leap.” (Written almost 30 years ago and once out-of-print, Glenn Beck has almost single-handedly resurrected it and turned it into a best-seller.) While there I took a moment to read some of the reviews that had been posted. I…
