…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…
… 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 …
Mike McCarthy of the Green Bay Packers holds up the Vince Lombardi Trophy after winning Super Bowl XLV Many years ago, I remember reading an essay by David Mamet in which the playwright asserted that the only two true national holidays were The Super Bowl and The Oscars.

…s year’s polls also show social conservatives caring more about jobs and the economy than about abortion and gay marriage. And, unlike in 2008, social conservatives are divided among several candidates. There’s no Mike Huckabee to rally around, nor is there an Iowa political machine that strongly influences voters. Making a presidential choice is highly personal, and in Iowa especially, nobody will “deliver” anybody but th…
…a serial child molester and Paterno knew about it, and fell short of expectations in his handling of it. All day the condensed version of Paterno’s involvement has been explained thusly: In March 2002 graduate assistant Mike McQueary (now the wide receivers coach at Penn State) came to Paterno and told him that he he had witnessed what Paterno would later refer to “fondling or something inappropriate” between Sandusky and a 10 y…
…Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man.” With that one statement the dying embers that had been smoldering just beneath the surface of this country for so long had been brought back to life. Reaction was immediate. Mike Steele, Chairman of the RNC who is African American, responded: “President Carter is flat out wrong. This isn’t about race. It is about policy.” He continued, “Injecting race into the debate over critical is…
…ld be given immigrants options either to apply for citizenship or simply be a temporary worker; allowing a worker go back home after the money was made. The Red Card solution has been supported by many conservatives including Mike Pence, who was considered a leading conservative candidate before choosing not to run. While Helen Krieble has attempted to separate her Red Card Solution from immigration as she noted once, it is about a guest worke…
…is treaty also reduces US and Russian nuclear arsenals by 30%. That is a good thing. Does this diminish our National Security? The military doesn’t think so, they are behind it 100%. At the White House news conference, Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said, “Through the trust it engenders, the cuts it requires and the flexibility it preserves, this treaty enhances our ability to do that which we have been charged t…
… to explain the opposing viewpoints of the Issues. I am glad to see a group of high school students such as these taking an interest in local government and participating at their level. Hats off to Ryan, Ryan, Danielle and Mike! My week living with MSA was pretty typical. I am trying very hard to pace myself as all my doctor’s have requested. But pacing is hard. What do I have to compare it with? My problem is that there are things I want …

Upon hearing of the incident from an eyewitness, later identified as Mike McQueary, who is now the team’s wide-receivers coach, Paterno reported it to athletic director Tim Curley but not to police, according to state prosecutors.
