November 2, 2010 was an historic election! It was the largest Party-to-Party swing since 1932 when Democrats picked up 55 seats in the House. The Tea Party had some great wins with Rand Paul, Marco Rubio and Allen West, to name just a few. We also have the first female Hispanic Governor with Republican prosecutor Susana Martinez in New Mexico. I say we should take one day to bask in the after

In 1789, President George Washington issued a proclamation for what would be the first Thanksgiving. It would later be made a holiday under President Lincoln.

Will the west ever get serious with radical Islam? Unfortunately, I don't think so. We had an attack on September 11, 2001 that was deadlier than the one on December 7, 1941, "a date which will live in infamy" as FDR said. In 1941 we put our fortunes and our lives on the line to rid this world of an evil we had never seen before. Well, my friends that evil is back even uglier and deadlier than

What would a world without nuclear weapons look like? Who would this benefit the most? I would think that it would benefit the country that has the largest standing army, China.

When Congresswoman Diane Watson waxes on and on about how smart and great Fidel Castro is I heard nary a gasp from the audience. Guess I could have missed it as I was clutching my stomach and retching loudly. Nothing new as many of our extreme left politicians and much loved actors from the Peoples Republic of Hollywood have traveled to Havana and heaped praises of their Dear Cuban Leader.

Once again Charles Kaurthammer has hit the nail on the head in his latest editorial "Torture? No. Except.."I wish we could say we never ever will use torture, but in a world that includes such evil as the Radical Islamists who routinely cut off hands and heads or stone women for walking outside with an ankle showing, it doesn't make any sense to me not to do whatever it takes to protect ourselves

Heard a good discussion on using the term Socialism when describing the Obama and democratic lead congress initiatives in the last 100 days. It is European Socialism. It is correct to say that neither the left's moves so far this year in the U.S.A. and what has gone on in Europe over the last 50+ years meet all the criteria of classic socialism. But when we describe America as a capitalist

The attack on Common Sense and subsequently our American way of life? Common Sense is increasingly rare in Government and everyday life, more so in Government I'd argue. In the past Common Sense was held in high esteem. To have it said that you had common sense or where down to earth was something to be proud of and to strive for. Today there is so much that is nonsensical it would be daunting

I have been hearing more and more about term limits and my original opinion was that I wasn't for it. I don't think that our founding fathers ever imagined career legislators. If they had there probably would have been limits in the constitution. However, correct me if I'm wrong but it is up to the States to set their own rules for electing U.S. Senators & Congressman. Our luck would be for the

Heard about this site on Bill Bennet's radio show this morning. [Before Brian & the Judge comes on] I have checked out the site and it's a great resource.Here is what they say about them self, "A project of The Claremont Institute, Founding.com is dedicated to making the documents and principles of the American Founding accessible to educators and students of all ages."Check it out; http://

Krauthammer just keeps getting better & better. His most recent article "Obama's Ultimate Agenda" is full of incite and nails what is really going on. I quote, " His goal is to rewrite the American social compact, to recast the relationship between government and citizen. He wants government to narrow the nation's income and anxiety gaps. Soak the rich for reasons of revenue and justice.

When formulating my thoughts for this posting I checked out the Wikipedia definition of conservatism. What a bunch of drivel. Check this out:Wikipedia - Conservatism is a political and social term from the Latin verb conservare meaning to save or preserve. As the name suggests it usually indicates support for the status quo or the status quo ante, though the meaning has changed in different

Great interview with Tom Barnett. Thomas P.M.

Liberty, individual liberty is an American ideal. The founders made it the centerpiece of the Declaration of Independence and it was made the underlying basis of our Constitution in the Preamble and the Bill of Rights. Declaration: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are

I wanted to start out demonstrating what I mean about the Texas Style and thought of a common saying we have here in Texas."A Texan considers it poor manners to ask a person where they are from. If they are from Texas, wait a minute, they will let you know and if they are not from Texas, why embarrass them."Texans are generally hard working, god fearing and generous people. People from outside

As you all might know, Common Sense was a pamphlet written by Thomas Paine. Common Sense presented the American colonists with an argument for independence from British rule at a time when the question of independence was still undecided. This blog will attempt to present arguments for a smaller more responsive government at a time I believe this approach is not being embraced.I am depending
