… of these circumstances, the use of the word hero is trivialized. A deeper problem is that ides of myth, legend and story hold a society’s culture together. The concept of the hero is central to these. By misapplying the hero label and refraining from using it when needed takes our culture in the wrong direction. I hope we can recover the sense of propriety about who we call a hero and what they did to be considered brave before it’s too late. A …
…of the Obama Coalition”, Thomas Edsall, by pushing “takers” into a non-working, entitlement, nanny state, socialistic philosophical ideology. Republicanism is not lost but it is certainly a candidate for a “Progressive Lite” label….or what as “Congress is Useless” all about? http://www.hollywoodrepublican.net/2011/11/congress-is-useless/ And all that is supported in academia today is under the myth of “academic freedom”. Collectivism and totalit…
…n is totally false since job expansion continued after Bush’s tax reductions were enacted and unemployment crept toward the 4% rate. The reason for the recession was government policies dealing with housing that imploded the financial system so to blame Bush’s tax reduction for government policies failure is nothing more than desperation by the left as well as rewriting economic history. The left point that tax rates alone will not resuscitate …
Are we soooo gullible? How much has been written “pro” and “con” about the Penn State Scandal. How little is posted in sympathy, support, future prevention of this evil raining down on the indefensible children, the victims. Oh, yes, some are now adults, so get over it??? This subliminal suggestion, disgusting, exists. PC-ness is in the wings of this discussion. Innocent until proven guilty is a judicial juxtaposition. It is not a truism a…
… administration leveling charges against a Conservative political opponent? There’s nothing to see here folks. Zero possibility of conflict of interest. Never mind that Gloria Allred pigeon Sharon Bialek, who has a history of financial troubles and legal squabbles, who has been described as a complete gold digger; the day after making her accusations enjoyed her fifteen minutes of fame spending her waking hours smiling her way through the morning…
The best news to come out of Washington this week was not Pres. Obama canceling his Hawaiian vacation so he could stay in Washington and pretend to do his job. It was not the comic relief provided by John Corzine testifying that Joe Biden’s idea of a financial genius had no idea where 1.2 billion investor dollars had gone. It was not even the indictment by the SEC of six Fanny and Freddy freeloaders. No, the big, big, BIG news that should inspi…
…sponded I did not know anything about Europe and I needed to read the European Union constitution to know that Europe is paradise or something to that affect. While being called stupid, my point that the Euro was in trouble, financial instability spreading, and the welfare state imploding in many of the southern European countries continued unabated. My writings on Europe’s choices proved prophetic as the latest plan to save Europe has EC…
…nificant players in the Greek parliament. For the French, the war on capitalism has begun. Southern Europeans have decided they will jump over the cliff into the abyss as politicians are no longer serious about getting their financial house in order as long as Germany is willing to keep financing them. Many of these countries essentially saw conditions imposed upon them by un-elected bureaucracy deciding their fate. The European Union no longer…
…e really wants to spin that roulette wheel. Ohio is facing Issues 2 and 3. Issue 2 seems to be the biggest and appears that the entire country is watching this one. From what I gather, in an attempt to get control of Ohio’s financial situation, SB5 has been drafted by the House. The entire Bill appears to be about 304 pages, but I think the main purpose of the Bill is to make public employees responsible for a fair and equal share of their ben…
…n. If I don’t like it, I need to find another policy and/or solution. In looking for a solution I found a provider who is willing to do the tests for me. What I do is save out of pocket each year for these tests. Is it a financial burden? You betcha! Do I have to do these tests? Nope. Have my rights been violated? I certainly have never thought so, nor do I now. Whose cross to bear is it? Mine and mine alone. Who pays for it? No one …
