… 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…
…bama is about to destroy tens of thousands of American jobs” by not approving the $7 billion Keystone pipeline, Brendan Buck, a spokesman for U.S. House Speaker John Boehner, an Ohio Republican, said in an e-mailed statement. Labor unions and Republican lawmakers have urged President Barack Obama to approve the pipeline, which would carry 700,000 barrels of crude a day from Canada’s oil sands to refineries on the U.S. Gulf of Mexico coast, becaus…
…rior economic model. The second point, made clear by Andy Stern, the left has moved away from its liberal roots and taken on a more authoritarian root to economic power. From the mob rule of Occupy Wall Street, the National labor review board stopping by fiat where companies can relocate to Stern support of the Chinese model, one has to be afraid of what is happening to modern liberties and freedom. The left is promoting a less free America. …
…l movement than communism? Has there been a system of modern governance that has more in common with the ancient unfair European feudal system of life in which noblemen ruled serfs who worked the land and did all the physical labor for almost no compensation than communism? First theorized by Engels and Marx (two dead white European men) communism (socialism) has colonized huge swaths of the planet. Most of South East Asia succumbed to this invas…
…rs of the movement are Joe Arpaio, an Arizona sheriff, and Orly Taitz, a run-of-the-mill nut-job. Taitz asserts that Obama was born in Kenya, Goldman Sachs runs the U.S. Treasury, the House of Representatives is building six labor camps, and Hugo Chávez owns software that controls U.S. voting machines.” (emphasis mine) And, yet this person is leading in the aforementioned Orange Country Register poll. I simply do not get it. If any of th…
…” began in 1933 and continued till the fall of Germany in 1945. The Nazi Regime’s “Final Solution” included Jews, Gypsies, Jehovah Witnesses, Homosexuals and the infirmed. They were either shot by the SS or sent to a forced labor camp. Once in the camps they were worked to death, starved or exterminated in the now infamous gas chambers. They were killed for simply being different than the “Master Race.” Of all those murdered the Jewish popula…
…ism expects people to behave selfishly, motivated by profit. Rule of law prevents cheating to channel the results of profit into an overall benefit for society. Socialism expects people to willing give up the fruiits of their labor to the less prodcutive without being rewarded. Wishful thinking at best, and Mary Berry, I am not sure where we disagree. Rule of law, or regulation, prevents cheating (acting without virtue). I believe the free marke…

The "holy" Penn State Football Team A young Jesuit is being escorted to prison with the sign on his back “Ten Years at Forced Labor for crimes against decency.” The old priest is pointing up, saying “Courage my son! Above (in Heaven) there are little boys, but no policemen.” And this is repeating itself in the presence of the Holy Chu…
… its director is not even an issue. Many films that could be shot in America are not. In fact, many films with American locations are shot outside of America. Why? The answer is simple: cost. Because of the ridiculously high labor costs and other production costs in America, it is just simply not feasible to make a movie in America anymore; especially a lower budget independent film. And, unfortunately, this is a symptom of the entire economic p…
