…s a section of the column called “So Long, Pardner” (sic) in which, Hendrik Hertzberg made a case for the dissolution of the United States. As I was reading this, I got angrier with each passing paragraph. Isn’t this what the Civil War was fought over approximately 150 years ago? Where have we come? Are the “red” and “blue” states so difference and distinct now that a portion of the electorate believes they should be split in two? Abe Lincoln wou…

Last week Lancaster Mayor Rex Parris was giving his yearly State of the City address when he made the remark that he was “growing a Christian community”. Almost immediately the Council on American-Islamic Relations filed a federal Civil Rights Complaint with the Department of Justice citing that the Mayors remarks violated the civil rights of non Christians. This is the same Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) that was named as an un…

…the great nation it is today, slavery. Slavery was an issue that had been smoldering since the revolutionary war and was to mark one of the most bloody and violent times in our history. Even today the scars left over from the Civil War are quite evident in certain parts of our country. The Civil War was dissent taken to its worst…open warfare. Over six hundred thousand Americans would die before it saw its bloody end. In the 1900’s you had Eugen…

… seemed on the superficial level to offer continuity, it was actually an ideological reversal, back to the Liberal wing of the Republican Party. Though he lambasted his opponent Michael Dukakis, tarring him with the “Liberal” label, which Reaganism had turned into a dirty word, Bush himself was every bit a Progressive. His admitted trouble with “the vision thing” prevented him from continuing with Reagan’s unfinished work: shrinking government, e…

…ver fully perfected these tactics but then the average Tea Party doesn’t have a month or two of their lives to spend in a New York park, for many of them work for a living. Conservatives never seem willing to break the civil contract that makes society function. Ann Coulter in her book, Demonic, observed quite correctly that many conservative are influenced by the American revolution in which the rule of law was emphasized whereas the lef…

… Red Shirts are promising violence until a new government can be democratically elected. The current government is fighting back. Unfortunately, this is only going to get worse. Hopefully, it will not break out into a full on civil war. Is this where the entire world is heading right now? Are we headed towards mass violence in many more places? Based upon the current state of the world economy, this is entirely possible. In times of economic turm…

Occasionally, I like to write an article historically based and not necessarily based upon events of the day. However, the issues addressed in this article are not just historical. The issue of Nullification and its effects on the United States are far reaching and in reality were probably the cause of the Civil War. There is a strong movement in the country now based upon Nullification and The Tenth Amendment. The Tea Party movement and Ron Pa…

Today is MLK Day, a federal holiday observing the birthday of the foremost spokesperson for nonviolent activism in the American civil rights movement, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Although Dr. King, a registered Republican, was born on January 15, the holiday is always observed on the third Monday in January as part of The Uniform Monday Holiday Act. The federal holiday wasn’t an easy one to get passed in Congress. It was initially introduced …

…es. Place the blame, search for absolution, and hope for peace and closure. General George Armstrong Custer on April 6, 1865 was a survivor of Sayler’s Creek, one of the most barbaric and ferocious battles at the end of the Civil War. Eleven years later, on the morning of June 25, 1876 he was massacred by a vastly superior force of Oglala Sioux under the legendary warrior Crazy Horse at “Custer’s Last Stand”. “When the battle of Little …

Thailand, the country were a military coup took over control of the government a few years ago is now on the verge of a civil war. Even though it is a military run country, its people have more freedom of expression than we have here in the United States thanks to the PC movement, the ACLU and our friends on the Far Left.
