Posterity! you will never know how much it cost the present generation to preserve your freedom! I hope you will make a good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in Heaven that I ever took half … Continue reading

James Madison was perhaps the most influential figure when it came to the writing of both the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. When he states his view/warning on the wealthy’s influence on the government he’s designing, we should probably take heed. Continue reading
I’ve written a number of articles that haven’t been put out for public consumption. You see, when the world goes mad, it can be like a minefield when you try to shine a light on it. You are never completely sure when you might take a wrong step and have everything blow up in your face. And yet, silence isn’t a viable option. Continue reading
Every time President Obama unveils more details on his vision of America’s space future, I get increasingly sad. In some ways he’s making his predecessor look like a visionary. I think it’s fair to say that Obama’s plan is so greatly in need of visionary correction that even Lasik might not be very effective. Continue reading
His gender and regional biases have been (sadly) increasingly apparent over the years. Jacques Rogge’s IOC no advocate for women athletes – USATODAY.com.
Actually, with a resume of softball- and women’s ski-jump- nixing, he’s acting sexist, too. There are many lopsided sports in the Olympics, so his justification is just a sieve of sexism…and maybe some partisan regionalism as well. Mr. Rogge, you … Continue reading
There are a lot of rumors floating about what President Obama will opt to do with NASA and manned spaceflight. Much of this is based on the report Obama received from the Review of Human Spaceflight Plans Committee. While some of the rumors are doubtless based on administration “trial balloons”, I do think a paradigm shift is definitely in the offing. Continue reading
I’m so tired of talking about healthcare. There are solutions that work, that have been proven to work, and none will ever get passed because money brainwashes much easier than rhetoric. Continue reading
Long time readers of this blog know that I place a heap of blame on lobbyists for the ills of this country. So, excuse me for not shedding any tears when lobbyists complain that President Obama is severely limiting their access. Continue reading
The stock market continues to tank. Banks are teetering on the brink. General Motors’ auditors say that it likely will end up in bankruptcy. Meanwhile the new Congress and President are settling in for their very familiar dance. As I’m getting tired of hearing the same ol’ same ol’, I think it’s time that we just deal with what needs dealing with. Continue reading
In prosecuting their wars, both the president and the Congress have taken the politically safe road while simultaneously flouting the intent of the founders when they drafted the Constitution. Wars are fought though never declared. The forces are under-manned. As an American, I find it insulting. Continue reading
As Emperor Overlord of the United States, I have to give that new kid, Obama, credit. He doesn’t do things small. A $3.55 trillion budget. That takes some brass ones, it does. I should probably say a little something about this amusing little income/expense outline of his. Continue reading
It’s amazing. President Barak Obama didn’t even last his first week before one of his boneheaded policy desires started fast-tracking through Congress. Though seemingly innocuous to some, the push to delay the digital television transition is capricious and ill-advised. Continue reading
Every inauguration is different, but every one is also the same. There is the song of hope. Hope that the government will do right by its people, and also the hope that the people will do right for each other and the nation. Now it’s President Obama’s time of service to all of America’s people. Continue reading
Now that our long national election is (mostly) decided, a few thoughts in the wake of election-night emotion. Continue reading
