We and our country need and must have a revival of capitalism but I fear that will not be possible for as long as we have no-ethics, no personal honor kleptoparasites running the show in Washington and jungle-ethics financialists running the show on Wall Street.
A revival of true and actual free-market capitalism is … Read more...

As Americans wait for Republicans to pick their nominee against President Barack Obama, there is an important subtext emerging for 2012. With the federal debt mounting, and the recovery remaining sluggish (at best), Americans increasingly wonder “is anyone in Washington, D.C. actually doing anything – especially their job?”
In response to this question, an enormous public relations battle and political tug-of-war is going on between President … Read more...
There can be no doubt that all of us are very proud of the young men and women who wear the uniforms of our country. As I write this on the 70th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, we are reminded of the huge sacrifices these Americans have made on our behalf for 235 years.

Mistake #1: Climate Change Does Not Exist.
Both creationists and scientists agree – the climate has changed over the history of planet Earth. The Bible describes a time when it rained forty days and forty nights leading to a flood. Noah built an ark packed with animals to survive. Scientists describe times when the planet was completely frozen at one time being Snowball Earth with … Read more...
Obama and his administration are waging a war against the laws of physics. The war will be lost, you know. But it will be We, the people and our country who will be the losers while Obama will ride off into the sunset with a lucrative income-for-life courtesy of us “losers.”
B’gosh and b’gorrah! No one can accuse us of being sore losers!
It is inevitable that an activist so-called … Read more...

Governments of the kind that we have today in this nation are an unfunny, terminally sick joke! Does anyone really believe that the purchasing power that our federal government has stolen from our descendants will ever be repaid?
Governments have the power to take and make use of some part of the worth that is being produced by the economically productive members of the nation’s society, current … Read more...

Let’s start with the basics in several educational disciplines. First let’s look at Civics. The separation of church and state is not found in the U.S. Constitution.

When does one stop learning? Never, if you want to survive! This is why I titled this column “Continuing to learn – line upon line.” We live in an ever changing world, and to stay abreast of this ever-changing world one must, regardless of age or gender, continue to learn. And that can be a challenge – a stumbling block for many people.

There’s no such thing as a free lunch? True. Not even with the natural abundance in the Garden of Eden as described in Genesis was lunch totally free. Adam and Eve had to go get it to have it. Lunch didn’t come to them.
Just as true, there’s no such thing as free government.
That simple, immutable, inescapable fact is a major factor in why there is no such thing … Read more...

Educational issues cause political controversy – always have and always will. Some educational issues, like the current school board Ed-SPLOSH renewal issue, can even lead to political fire storms. But this current issue is only a candle compared to the school board issue that was created in the late 1990s.
